LEGACY RESERVES LP

THIRD AMENDED AND RESTATED PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT

TERM SHEET

Transaction	In connection with the disposition by WPX Energy, Inc. (“WPX”) of certain oil and gas assets to Legacy Reserves LP (“LGCY”), Legacy Reserves GP, LLC (the “General Partner”) will amend and restate the LGCY partnership agreement (the “Amended Partnership Agreement”) to provide for unitized incentive distribution rights (“IDR units”), and WPX and LGCY will enter into an IDR Rights Agreement providing for certain rights and obligations of WPX and LGCY with respect to the IDR Units held by WPX (“WPX IDRs”).
Authorized Units; Issuance of Units to WPX; Capital Accounts	There will be a total of 1,000,000 IDR units authorized for issuance.  Any forfeited IDR units shall be subject to reissuance.  Upon effectiveness of the Amended Partnership Agreement (the “Effective Date”), WPX will be issued 300,000 IDR units (“WPX IDRs”). For tax purposes and for purposes of establishing the initial capital account related to the WPX IDRs, the WPX IDRs shall be treated as having been issued by LGCY at the time of vesting in exchange for assets with a value of zero.
Distributions of Available Cash from Operating Surplus				Percent Interest
		Quarterly Distribution per Unit		Units and GP Interest		IDR Units
	MQD:	Up to $0.5900		100	%	0.00	%
	First Target Distribution:	Above $0.5900	up to $0.6785	100	%	0.00	%
	Second Target Distribution:	Above $0.6785	up to $0.7375	87	%	13.00	%
	Thereafter:	Above $0.7375		77	%	23.00	%
	Distributions of Available Cash from Operating Surplus with respect to any quarter will be made in the following manner: (a)first, 100% to the unitholders and General Partner, pro rata, until there has been distributed in respect of each unit an amount equal to $0.5900 for such quarter; (b)second, 100% to the unitholders and General Partner, pro rata, until there has been distributed in respect of each unit an amount equal to $0.6785 for such quarter; (c)third, 87% to the unitholders and General Partner, pro rata, and 13% to the IDR units, pro rata, until there has been distributed in respect of each unit an amount equal to $0.7375 for such quarter provided that, to the extent any IDR units are not vested and outstanding as of the record date for such distribution, the distributable amount with respect thereto may be retained by LGCY or distributed in accordance with these provisions; and (d)thereafter, 77% to the unitholders and General Partner, pro rata, and 23% to the IDR units, pro rata, provided that, to the extent any IDR units are not vested and outstanding as of the record date for such distribution, the distributable amount with respect thereto may be retained by LGCY

	or distributed in accordance with these provisions. provided that, if the MQD and target distribution levels have been reduced to zero in connection with distributions from Capital Surplus the distribution of Available Cash that is deemed to be Operating Surplus with respect to any Quarter will be made solely in accordance with the highest distribution tier. Should LGCY change to a monthly distribution policy for units, all reference figures based on quarterly distribution amounts shall be automatically adjusted to a monthly equivalent.
Distributions of Available Cash from Capital Surplus	Available Cash that is deemed to be Capital Surplus shall be distributed as follows: (a)first, 100% to the General Partner and the unitholders, pro rata, until the MQD has been reduced to zero as provided below; (b)thereafter, 100% shall be distributed as if it were a distribution of Available Cash from Operating Surplus. In the event of a distribution of cash or cash equivalents that is deemed to be from Capital Surplus, the then applicable MQD and target distributions shall be reduced in the same proportion that the distribution had to the fair market value of the Units immediately prior to the announcement of the distribution. If the Units are then publicly traded on a National Securities Exchange, the fair market value will be the Current Market Price before the ex-dividend date. If the Units are not then publicly traded, the fair market value will be determined by the Board of Directors.
Tax Allocations	Standard MLP provisions (modified as necessary to take into account unique aspects of LGCY’s IDRs) will be added that will to the extent possible minimize allocations of net taxable income to an IDR unitholder for any tax period in excess of amounts distributed to the holder with respect to that period and allocate unrealized gain upon book up events to prevent overstatement of the IDR capital account.
IDR Unitholder Conversion Rights	Vested IDR units held by an IDR unitholder will be convertible (in whole or in part) into units at the request of the IDR unitholder with the consent of the General Partner; provided, however that such consent is not required in connection with a change of control of LGCY (including for the avoidance of doubt, prior to the occurrence thereof). Upon conversion, the IDR unitholder will receive a number of units equal to (i) the average aggregate amount of cash distributions made by LGCY for the immediately preceding two quarters in respect of the applicable IDR units, divided by (ii) the average amount of cash distributions made by LGCY in respect of each unit for the immediately preceding two quarters (the “LP Unit Equivalent”).
General Partner’s Conversion Rights Upon a Change of Control	For 180 days after a change of control of LGCY, the General Partner will have the right to cause a conversion of all, but not less than all, of the vested and outstanding IDR units, with the IDR unitholders receiving a number of units equal to (i) the greater of (A) the average aggregate amount of cash distributions made by LGCY for the immediately preceding two quarters in respect of the applicable IDR units and (B) the average aggregate amount of cash distributions that would have been made by LGCY for the immediately

2

	preceding two quarters in respect of the applicable IDR units assuming that the LGCY had been distributing $0.7375 per unit in respect of each unit for the immediately preceding two quarters, divided by (ii) the average amount of the cash distributions actually made by LGCY in respect of each unit for the immediately preceding two quarters. In the event units receive cash or other equity interests from a third party in connection with a change of control prior to such conversion, IDR units will be converted into an equivalent amount of such cash or other equity interests.
Reset	If (i) LGCY has made four consecutive quarterly distributions in respect of each unit of an amount equal to at least $0.7375 for each such quarter and (ii) each distribution on units during each quarter within such period did not exceed the Adjusted Operating Surplus for such quarter, the General Partner may elect to reset incentive distribution levels, in which case (a) the MQD will be reset to an amount equal to the average cash distribution amount per unit for the two quarters immediately preceding the reset election, and the target distribution levels will be reset to correspondingly higher levels based on percentage increases in proportion to the original MQD and target distribution levels, and (b) each IDR unitholder will receive the LP Unit Equivalent.
Voting	IDR units will not be entitled to vote in the election of directors or any other matters on which the unitholders may vote.
Transfer	Units issued to IDR unitholders upon a conversion or a reset of the MQD and target distribution levels will be freely transferable at any time, subject to applicable securities laws and achieving capital account fungibility for the transferred units. Upon an issuance of units to an IDR unitholder in a conversion or MQD reset, in order to achieve capital account fungibility for any transferred units, the following steps shall be applied in the following order: (i) allocate unrecognized gain to the transferring IDR unitholder (treating the issuance of units to the IDR unitholder as a rebooking event), (ii) allocate the transferring IDR unitholder’s entire capital account to any transferred units, and (iii) allocate taxable income to the transferring unitholder to the extent clause (ii) does not cause any transferred units to be fungible.
Amendments	The number of authorized IDR units may not be increased, and securities or other rights having terms substantially similar to the IDR units may not be issued by LGCY, without the consent of the holders of no less than 75% of the outstanding IDR units. Any amendment to the LGCY partnership agreement which would adversely affect the rights, preferences, privileges or obligations of any IDR unitholder, in its capacity as an IDR unitholder in a manner disproportionate to the effect of such amendment on the IDR unitholders as a whole, shall require the prior written consent of each affected IDR unitholder. The existing LGCY partnership agreement approval rights with respect to amendments having a material adverse effect on a class of partnership interests will apply to IDR units. For purposes of approval of any such amendments, (i) outstanding IDR units include both vested and unvested IDR Units and (ii) IDR units held by the General Partner, any Group Member and their respective controlled affiliates
