Explanation of Responses:
1. This form is filed jointly by Chesapeake Energy Corporation, an Oklahoma corporation ("Chesapeake"), and Chesapeake Exploration, L.L.C., an Oklahoma limited liability company and wholly owned subsidiary of Chesapeake ("Chesapeake Exploration"). Chesapeake owns the Common Units and the Subordinated Units indirectly through Chesapeake Exploration.
2. On November 16, 2011, in connection with a registered public offering by the Issuer of its Common Units, Chesapeake Exploration conveyed royalty interests in certain of its oil and natural gas properties located in the Colony Granite Wash in Washita County, Oklahoma to the Issuer in exchange for 12,062,500 Common Units of the Issuer and 11,687,500 Subordinated Units of the Issuer and approximately $356,250,000 in cash.
3. The Subordinated Units listed in Table II will automatically convert into Common Units on a one-for-one basis at the end of the fourth full calendar quarter following the satisfaction by Chesapeake of its drilling obligation with respect to the Development Wells set forth in that certain Development Agreement, dated as of November 16, 2011, by and among Chesapeake, Chesapeake Exploration and the Issuer, which drilling obligation must be satisfied no later than June 30, 2016.
