Explanation of Responses:

1. Represents shares acquired in connection with the settlement of general unsecured claims, exempt pursuant to Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, as an acquisition in good faith in connection with a debt previously contracted.

2. The reported shares are held in the respective quantities indicated by BSP Berry Credit Alpha 1 L.L.C., BSP Berry Credit Alpha 2 L.L.C., Providence Debt Fund III L.P., BSP Berry DF3 3 LLC, SEI Institutional Investments Trust - High Yield Bond Fund, SEI Institutional Managed Trust - High Yield Bond Fund, SEI Global Master Fund plc - The High Yield Fixed Income Fund, U.S. High Yield Bond Fund, BSP Special Situations Master A L.P., BSP Berry Special Situations 3 LLC, BSP Berry SEI 2 LLC, Blackrock Strategic Funds, BSP Berry PECM LLC and Hampshire Credit Alpha Master Fund LP (collectively, the "BSP Funds"). Benefit Street Partners L.L.C. ("BSP") serves as the investment adviser to each of the BSP Funds. Mr. Gahan controls BSP through his indirect ownership of membership interests of BSP and as Chief Executive Officer of BSP's sole managing member (continued in footnote 3).

3. (continued from footnote 2) As a result, each of BSP and Mr. Gahan may be deemed to beneficially own the securities held by each of the BSP Funds. Each reporting person disclaims beneficial ownership of these securities, except to the extent of its or his pecuniary interest therein, and this report shall not be deemed an admission that the reporting person is the beneficial owner of the securities for purposes of Section 16 or for any other purpose. Pursuant to a stockholders agreement between Berry Petroleum Corporation (the "Issuer") and certain holders party thereto, BSP has the right to designate a director to the Issuer's board of directors. Brent S. Buckley currently serves as BSP's designee.
