Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On and effective as of April 1, 2016, Harvest Natural Resources, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Harvest"), and CT Energy Holding SRL, a Barbados society ("CT Energy Holding"), executed and delivered a second amendment (the "Second Amendment") to the 15% Non-Convertible Senior Secured Promissory Note Due 2020, dated June 19, 2015, as amended by the First Amendment, effective as of December 31, 2015, payable by Harvest to CT Energy Holding in the principal amount of $26,083,341 (the "15% Note"). The Second Amendment (i) eliminates the $975,445.49 interest payment that would have been due and payable on April 1, 2016 and (ii) converts such amount, less applicable withholding tax, into additional principal, such that the new principal amount of the 15% Note is $26,961,241.

CT Energy Holding purchased the 15% Note from Harvest pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement, dated June 19, 2015, as previously disclosed in Harvest’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on June 22, 2015. CT Energy Holding currently owns approximately 16.6% of Harvest’s outstanding common stock.

This is a summary of the Second Amendment, which is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 10.1. The complete text of the Second Amendment is incorporated by reference into this Current Report on Form 8-K.
