Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On June 10, 2013, Saratoga Resources, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into new employment agreements with its Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Thomas Cooke, and its President, Andrew Clifford.  The employment agreements supersede and replace the 2007 employment agreements of Messrs. Cooke and Clifford.  Each of the employment agreements has a three-year term and automatically renews for additional one-year terms thereafter unless either parties provides notice of non-renewal at least thirty days in advance of the end of the then current term.

The new employment agreements reflect the following changes in the principal terms of employment of Messrs. Cooke and Clifford:

▪

The annual base salary of Messrs. Cooke and Clifford is increased from its current level of $305,000 by 4%, to $317,200, on July 1, 2013 and increases by 4% on July 1 of each succeeding year;

▪

The automobile allowance of Messrs. Cooke and Clifford is modified to either provide a Company vehicle or pay a monthly automobile allowance, which allowance remains $700 per month for Mr. Clifford and was increased to $950 per month for Mr. Cooke.  Additionally, beyond repair and maintenance costs previously paid by the Company, the automobile allowance has been revised to cover all costs of operating a vehicle.

▪

The expense reimbursement provisions have been modified to clarify that the Company will pay all incremental costs associated with maintenance of home offices by Messrs. Cooke and Clifford, including costs of internet service, telephone and facsimile service and, with respect to Mr. Clifford, a home workstation.

▪

Travel pay in the amount of $200 per day has been added by Messrs. Cooke and Clifford for each overnight stay or out-of-town travel of twenty-four hours exclusively for business purposes;

▪

Messrs. Cooke and Clifford each received options to purchase 250,000 shares of common stock.  The options are exercisable at $3.00 per share for a term of five years and vest on a quarterly basis over eight quarters.

▪

In the event of termination of employment due to death or disability, the Company will continue to pay base salary to the executive or his estate for a period of twelve months;

▪

In the event of termination of employment by the Company without cause or by the executive for “good reason”, the Company shall pay a lump sum to the executive in an amount equal to two times the base salary and bonus paid during the twelve months immediately preceding termination and shall continue to provide health insurance for a period of twenty-four months.

Reference is made to the employment agreements of Messrs. Cooke and Clifford, copies of which are filed herewith, for a full description of the terms of employment.
