Explanation of Responses:

1. Contrarian Capital Management, L.L.C. ("Contrarian") is an investment adviser registered with the U.S. Securities Exchange Commission under Section 203 under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940. Contrarian is the investment manager of certain managed accounts and private investment funds (collectively the "Funds"). All securities reported on this Form 4 are owned by the Funds.

2. Contrarian disclaims beneficial ownership of these securities except to the extent of its pecuniary interest therein, and the inclusion of these securities in this report shall not be deemed an admission of beneficial ownership of the reported securities for purposes of Section 16 or for any other purpose.

3. Securities acquired as a delayed distribution from the Issuer to certain claimholders, including the Reporting Person, in connection with the Issuer's emergence from bankruptcy and in accordance with the Issuer's plan of reorganization which was effectuated on August 1, 2017. For purposes of the exemption under Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the board of directors of the Issuer approved the acquisition of any direct or indirect pecuniary interest of such shares of Common Stock by the Reporting Person.

Remarks:

Solely for purposes of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), Contrarian may be deemed to be a director-by-deputization by virtue of the Funds having a representative on the board of directors of Vanguard Natural Resources, Inc. (the "Board"). Graham Morris, an employee of Contrarian, is a member of the Board.
