In conjunction with PIE Assignment I, ApClark and PIE Holdings amended an Operating Agreement dated August 1, 2007, by and between Westerly Exploration, Inc., and Lucas Energy, Inc., as previously amended (the “Operating Agreement”) to which ApClark and PIE Holdings are successors in interest. The amended Operating Agreement provided that PIE Operating, LLC replace the operator of record, NRG Assets Management, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, with respect to certain wells and related leases.

ApClark and PIE Holdings entered into an additional Partial Assignment of Oil, Gas and Mineral Leases and Bill of Sale of Wells (“PIE Assignment II”) on March 28, 2014, pursuant to which ApClark sold additional working interests in wells and related oil, gas and mineral leasehold interests as follows:

On March 31, 2014, ApClark and PIE Holdings further amended the Operating Agreement to reflect the current working interests and associated net revenue interests in wells and leasehold interests covered by the Operating Agreement.

The Debenture accrues interest at the rate of 5% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears, and matures on June 6, 2017.

Each share of Series B Preferred Stock has a stated value of $1.00 (“Stated Value”) and accrues a dividend of 3% of the Stated Value per annum, which is payable in additional shares of Series B Preferred Stock annually on December 31, in arrears. Each share of Series B Preferred Stock may be converted at any time on or prior to May 30, 2017 into such number of shares of the Company’s common stock equal to the Stated Value divided by $1.00 per share. The Company has the right, at any time after May 30, 2017, to redeem the Series B Preferred Stock at a price of $1.00 per share.

Under the terms set forth in the Certificate of Designation, the holders of Series B Preferred stock have the exclusive right, voting separately as a class, to elect one director of the Board (“Series B Director”), who must be reasonably acceptable to the Company. The Series B Director must be appointed by the holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock.
