(formerly known as Lucas Energy, Inc.), a Nevada corporation (“ Purchaser ” or “ Company ”), Segundo Resources, LLC, a Texas limited liability company (the “ Seller Representative ”), and each of the other individuals and entities set forth under the heading “ Sellers ” on the signature page(s)   hereto (each, including the Seller Representative, collectively, the “ Sellers ”), each a “ Party ” and collectively the “ Parties .” Certain capitalized terms used, but not otherwise defined, herein have the meanings given to such terms in the Purchase Agreement (defined below).

W   I   T   N   E   S   S   E   T   H :

WHEREAS ,   on December 30, 2015, the Parties entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement, pursuant to which the Purchaser agreed to purchase from the Sellers, working interests in producing properties and undeveloped acreage in Texas and Oklahoma, including varied interests in two largely contiguous acreage blocks in the liquids-rich Mid-Continent region of the United States, and related wells, leases, records, equipment and agreements associated therewith (the “ Original Agreement ”);

WHEREAS , effective April 1, 2016, the Parties entered into a First Amendment to Asset Purchase Agreement (the “ First Amendment ”), to amend certain provisions of the Original Agreement;

WHEREAS , effective August 25, 2016, the Parties entered into a Second Amendment to Asset Purchase Agreement (the “ Second Amendment ” and together with the Original Agreement and the First Amendment, the “ Purchase Agreement ”), amending the terms of the Purchase Agreement to amend certain provisions thereof;

WHEREAS , the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement closed on August 25, 2016; and

WHEREAS , the Parties now desire to enter into this Agreement to amend certain post-Closing covenants under the Purchase Agreement pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE , in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants, agreements, and considerations herein contained, and other good and valuable consideration, which consideration the Parties hereby acknowledge and confirm the receipt and sufficiency thereof, the Parties hereto agree as follows:

1.

Amendments to Purchase Agreement .   Effective for all purposes as of the Effective Date (defined below), Section 4.3(i) of the Purchase Agreement is amended and restated to read as follows:

“(i) Increase in Board of Directors of Purchaser and Sellers Director Appointment Rights . The Purchaser’s Board of Directors shall have taken action prior to Closing to increase the number of members of the Purchaser’s Board of Directors to six (6) members and to appoint three (3) Persons nominated to the Board of Directors of the Purchaser by the Seller Representative with the approval of the Required Sellers, effective at Closing, so that immediately effective upon Closing, the Board of Directors of Purchaser will consist of six (6) members, including three (3) members nominated by the Seller Representative with the approval of the Required Sellers (the “Seller Nominees”). The Board of Directors of Purchaser shall have the right to make a determination as to the ability of each Seller Nominee to serve as a member of the Board of Directors of the Purchaser, and whether the appointment of such nominee is in the best interests of the stockholders of the Purchaser, and shall not be required to appoint any Person as a member of the Board of Directors, if the Board of Directors, in their reasonable discretion and consistent with their fiduciary duties to the stockholders of the Purchaser, believe such appointment would not be in the best interests of the stockholders of the Purchaser. However, in each instance where the Board of Directors determines as set forth above that the appointment of a Seller Nominee is not in the best interest of the stockholders of Purchaser, Seller Representative with the approval of the Required Sellers, shall nominate a replacement Seller Nominee (each a “Seller Replacement Nominee”) for consideration by the Board of Directors of Purchaser. Seller Representative, with the approval of the Required Sellers, may nominate such additional Seller Replacement Nominees from time to time until such time as three (3) Seller Nominees or Seller Replacement Nominees have been appointed to the Board of Directors of Purchaser. Additionally, the Seller Nominees shall include such number of ‘independent’ directors (as determined both prior to and subsequent to Closing) as may be required pursuant to applicable NYSE MKT rules and regulations in order that the Purchaser, after the appointment of such Seller Nominees, continues to remain in compliance with applicable rules and regulations of the NYSE MKT, including those rules and regulations requiring certain minimum numbers of ‘independent’ directors. If necessary and deemed required, the Purchaser shall file a Schedule 14f-1 with the SEC in connection with the change in the composition of its Board of Directors.”

2.

Effective Date . The “Effective Date” of this Agreement shall be, for all purposes, the date of Purchaser’s execution of this Agreement, as set forth beside the Purchaser’s signature on the signature page hereof.
