(1) The reporting person disclaims beneficial ownership of these securities except to the extent of his pecuniary interest therein, and the inclusion of these shares in this report shall not be deemed an admission of beneficial ownership of all of the reported units for purposes of Section 16 or for any other purpose.
(2) On March 15, 2006, in connection with the formation transactions of Legacy Reserves LP ("Legacy"), Moriah Properties, Ltd. ("Moriah Properties"), an entity owned and controlled by Mr. Dale A.
