Represents shares of common stock that may be offered and sold by the selling stockholders and consists of (i) 5,952,763 outstanding shares of common stock and (ii) 6,428 shares issuable upon exercise of outstanding warrants. Pursuant to Rule 429 under the Securities Act and as further described below under “Explanatory Note,” this amount does not include 138,214 previously registered shares of common stock to which the prospectus contained in this registration statement also relates. Pursuant to Rule 416(a) under the Securities Act, the number of shares of common stock being registered hereunder includes such indeterminate number of additional shares of common stock as may become issuable as a result of any stock dividend, split, combination or similar transaction.

(2)
In accordance with Rule 415(a)(6) under the Securities Act, this Amendment No. 1 to Registration Statement does not register any new securities but carries forward 6,097,405 unsold shares of common stock that were previously registered and offered by the Registrant pursuant to the initial filing of this registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-228712), which was filed with the Commission on December 7, 2018. In connection with the initial registration of such unsold shares of common stock on the Registration Statement, the Registrant previously paid the applicable registration fee which will continue to be applied to such unsold shares of common stock included on this Registration Statement. Accordingly, the amount of the registration fee is $0 because no additional securities are being registered on this Registration Statement..
The Registrant hereby amends this registration statement on such date or dates as may be necessary to delay its effective date until the Registrant shall file a further amendment which specifically states that this registration statement shall thereafter become effective in accordance with Section 8(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 or until the registration statement shall become effective on such date as the Commission, acting pursuant to said Section 8(a), may determine.
Pursuant to Rule 429 under the Securities Act and as further described below under “Explanatory Note,” the prospectus contained in this registration statement also relates to the registrant’s registration statement on Form S-1 (No. 333-217519).

EXPLANATORY NOTE
Pursuant to Rule 429 under the Securities Act, the prospectus contained in this registration statement (this “Registration Statement”) is a combined prospectus relating to (i) this Registration Statement and (ii) the registrant’s registration statement on Form S-1 (No. 333-217519), as amended, which became effective on September 12, 2017 (the “Prior Registration Statement”). Pursuant to Rule 429 under the Securities Act, this Registration Statement, which is a new registration statement, upon effectiveness will also constitute a post-effective amendment to the Prior Registration Statement. This Registration Statement also constitutes a post-effective amendment to the Prior Registration Statement filed to (i) convert the Prior Registration Statement to a registration statement on Form S-3 and (ii) remove from registration thereunder 22,727,273 shares of common stock that remain unsold and will not be sold because they are no longer issuable upon conversion of the convertible term loans referred to in the Prior Registration Statement. Such post-effective amendment to the Prior Registration Statement shall hereafter become effective concurrently with the effectiveness of this Registration Statement in accordance with Section 8(a) of the Securities Act.







We are filing this Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-228712) to remove from the shares being registered the following shares that were originally included in the Registration Statement: (i) up to 17,173,367 shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of loans under our Second Lien Credit Agreement; (ii) up to 28,874,078 shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of outstanding shares of our Series C-1 9.75% Convertible Participating Preferred Stock; (iii) up to 6,776,237 shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of outstanding shares of our Series C-2 9.75% Convertible Participating Preferred Stock; and (iv) up to 10,353,632 shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of outstanding shares of our Series D 8.25% Convertible Participating Preferred Stock.






T he information in this prospectus is not complete and may be changed. The selling stockholders may not sell these securities until the registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission is effective. This prospectus is not an offer to sell these securities and it is not soliciting an offer to buy these securities in any state where the offer or sale is not permitted.

These statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements may include the words “may,” “should,” “could,” “estimate,” “intend,” “plan,” “project,” “continue,” “believe,” “predict,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “goal,” “forecast,” “target” or other similar words.
All statements, other than statements of historical fact, that are contained or incorporated by reference in this prospectus that address activities, events or developments that we expect or anticipate will or may occur in the future are forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to, any projections of earnings, revenue or other financial items; any statements of the plans, strategies, objectives and beliefs of management for future operations; any statements concerning future production, reserves or other resource development opportunities; any statements regarding projected well performance or economics, or potential joint ventures or strategic partnerships; any statements regarding future economic conditions or performance; any statements regarding future capital-raising activities; any statements regarding commodity price risk management activities and the impact on our average realized price; and any statements of assumptions underlying any of the foregoing.

USE OF PROCEEDS
We are not selling any shares of common stock under this prospectus and will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of shares of common stock by the selling stockholders. As described elsewhere in this prospectus, the shares of common stock that may be offered and sold pursuant to this prospectus include up to 144,642 shares issuable upon exercise of outstanding warrants.

SELLING STOCKHOLDERS
As described in more detail below, this prospectus relates to the offer and sale by the selling stockholders of up to 6,097,405 shares of our common stock consisting of:
up to 5,952,763 outstanding shares of common stock; and
up to 144,642 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of outstanding warrants to purchase shares of common stock (the “Warrants”).
The registration of the shares of common stock that may be offered and sold by the selling stockholders under this prospectus does not necessarily mean that all or any portion of the Warrants will be exercised for shares of common stock, or that any such shares of common stock will be sold by the selling stockholders.
Transactions with Värde Partners, Inc. and Its Affiliates
Second Lien Credit Agreement
On April 26, 2017, we entered into a Second Lien Credit Agreement, dated as of April 26, 2017 (as amended, the “Second Lien Credit Agreement”), by and among Lilis, as borrower, certain subsidiaries of Lilis, as guarantors, Wilmington Trust, National Association, as administrative agent, and the lenders party thereto, consisting of Värde Partners, Inc. (“Värde”), as lead lender, and certain private funds affiliated with Värde (collectively, the “Värde Parties”). Pursuant to the Second Lien Credit Agreement, the Värde Parties agreed to make convertible term loans (the “Second Lien Loans”) to us in an aggregate initial principal amount of up to $125 million in two tranches: an initial tranche of $80 million, which was fully drawn and funded on April 26, 2017, and a second delayed-draw tranche of up to $45 million, which was fully drawn and funded on October 4, 2017. On November 10, 2017, the Second Lien Credit Agreement was amended to increase the delayed-draw tranche of the Second Lien Loans by $25 million, and that amount was fully drawn and funded on that date.
Pursuant to the 2018 Transaction Agreement (as defined and described below), on October 10, 2018, the outstanding principal amount of the first tranche of the Second Lien Loans was reduced by approximately $56.3 million. Pursuant to the 2019 Transaction Agreement (as defined and described below), on March 5, 2019, all indebtedness and other obligations of Lilis under the Second Lien Credit Agreement were satisfied in full, and the Second Lien Credit Agreement was terminated..
Securities Purchase Agreement
On January 30, 2018, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) with the Värde Parties, pursuant to which, on January 31, 2018, we issued and sold to the Värde Parties, in a private placement, 100,000 shares of our Series C-1 9.75% Convertible Participating Preferred Stock (the “Series C-1 Preferred Stock”), for a purchase price of $1,000 per share, or an aggregate of $100 million.
2018 Transaction Agreement
On October 10, 2018, we entered into a Transaction Agreement (the “2018 Transaction Agreement”) with the Värde Parties, pursuant to which, on that date, we:
issued to the Värde Parties 5,952,763 shares of our common stock and 39,254 shares of our Series D 8.25% Convertible Participating Preferred Stock (the “Series D Preferred Stock”), as consideration for the reduction by approximately $56.3 million of the outstanding principal amount of the initial $80 million tranche of the Second Lien Loans, together with accrued and unpaid interest and the make-whole amount thereon totaling approximately $11.9 million; and





issued and sold to the Värde Parties 25,000 shares of our Series C-2 9.75% Convertible Participating Preferred Stock (the “Series C-2 Preferred Stock” and, together with the Series C-1 Preferred Stock, the “Series C Preferred Stock”), for a purchase price of $1,000 per share, or an aggregate of $25 million.
2019 Transaction Agreement
On March 5, 2019, we entered into a Transaction Agreement (the “2019 Transaction Agreement”) with the Värde Parties. Pursuant to the 2019 Transaction Agreement, on March 5, 2019, we issued to the Värde Parties shares of two new series of our preferred stock and shares of our common stock, as consideration for the termination of the Second Lien Credit Agreement and the satisfaction in full, in lieu of repayment in cash, of all indebtedness under the Second Lien Credit Agreement. Specifically, in exchange for satisfaction of the outstanding principal amount of the Second Lien Loans, accrued and unpaid interest thereon and the make-whole amount thereon totaling approximately $133.6 million, we issued to the Värde Parties an aggregate of:
55,000 shares of our Series F 9.00% Participating Preferred Stock (the “Series F Preferred Stock”);
60,000 shares of our Series E 8.25% Convertible Participating Preferred Stock (the “Series E Preferred Stock”); and
9,891,638 shares of our common stock.
Such shares identified above (being the Series F, Series E and 9,891,638 shares of common stock) have been previously registered on Form S-3 filed with the SEC on March 15, 2019 (Registration No. 333-230343) (the “March S-3 Filing”). Pursuant to the terms of, and subject to certain limitations set forth in, the certificate of designation creating the Series E Preferred Stock (the “Series E Certificate of Designation”), each share of Series E Preferred Stock is convertible, at the option of the holder, into a number of shares of our common stock equal to the Optional Redemption Amount (as defined in the Series E Certificate of Designation) divided by a conversion price of $2.50 (subject to adjustment as provided in the Series E Certificate of Designation).
In addition, pursuant to the 2019 Transaction Agreement, on March 5, 2019, we issued to the Värde Parties an aggregate of 7,750,000 shares of our common stock, as consideration for the Värde Parties’ consent to the amendment of the terms of the Series C Preferred Stock and the Series D Preferred Stock to, among other matters, eliminate the convertibility of shares of the Series C Preferred Stock and the Series D Preferred Stock into shares of our common stock.
As a result of the consummation of the 2019 Transaction Agreement, there are no longer any shares of our common stock issuable upon conversion of loans under our Second Lien Credit Agreement or upon the conversion of the outstanding shares of the Series C Preferred Stock or the Series D Preferred Stock.
Registration Rights Agreement
On March 5, 2019, in connection with the closing under the 2019 Transaction Agreement, we entered into an Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) with the Värde Parties. Among other matters, the Registration Rights Agreement required us to file with the SEC a shelf registration statement under the Securities Act registering for resale (i) the shares of common stock issued pursuant to the 2019 Transaction Agreement, (ii) the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the shares of Series E Preferred Stock issued pursuant to the 2019 Transaction Agreement and (iii) the shares of common stock issued pursuant to the 2018 Transaction Agreement. Such requirements (being items (i) through (iii) above) were satisfied by the March S-3 Filing. Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, we have agreed to bear all of the expenses incurred in connection with the registration of the shares of common stock, and the applicable selling stockholder will be responsible for any underwriting fees, discounts, selling commissions and other selling expenses incurred by it in connection with sales of shares of common stock.
The Registration Rights Agreement amended and restated the registration rights agreement that we entered into with the Värde Parties in connection with the closing under the 2018 Transaction Agreement, which granted to the Värde Parties certain registration rights with respect to the shares of common stock issued pursuant to the 2018





Transaction Agreement and the shares of common stock that, prior to the closing under the 2019 Transaction Agreement, were issuable upon conversion of the shares of Series C-2 Preferred Stock and Series D Preferred Stock issued pursuant to the 2018 Transaction Agreement. In addition, the Registration Rights Agreement terminated the registration rights agreements that we entered into with the Värde Parties in connection with the closings under the Second Lien Credit Agreement and the Securities Purchase Agreement, which granted to the Värde Parties certain registration rights with respect to the shares of common stock that, prior to the closing under the 2019 Transaction Agreement, were issuable upon conversion of the Second Lien Loans and the Series C-1 Preferred Stock.
Designation of Directors
Pursuant to the terms of the 2019 Transaction Agreement and the certificate of designation creating the Series C Preferred Stock (as amended and restated), the certificate of designation creating the Series D Preferred Stock (as amended and restated), the certificate of designation creating the Series E Preferred Stock and the certificate of designation creating the Series F Preferred Stock (collectively, the “Certificates of Designation”), the Värde Parties have certain rights to appoint or designate members of our board of directors. As of the date of this prospectus, three of our nine directors have been appointed to our board by the Värde Parties pursuant to these rights: John Johanning, Marcus Specks and Mark Christensen. Mr. Johanning and Mr. Specks are technical and managing directors, respectively, of Värde and/or its affiliates. Pursuant to the 2019 Transaction Agreement and in connection with the closing thereunder, the number of directors constituting our entire board of directors was increased from nine to eleven. Under the 2019 Transaction Agreement and the Certificates of Designation, the Värde Parties have sole rights to appoint directors to fill the two vacancies on our board resulting from this increase, but, as of the date of this prospectus, the Värde Parties have not yet exercised those rights.
The foregoing descriptions of the Second Lien Credit Agreement, the Securities Purchase Agreement, the 2018 Transaction Agreement, the 2019 Transaction Agreement, the Certificates of Designation, our preferred stock and the Registration Rights Agreement do not purport to be complete. For additional information regarding those agreements and securities, please refer to the more detailed descriptions of the material terms of those agreements and securities set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 and the other documents incorporated by reference in this prospectus as set forth under “Incorporation of Certain Information by Reference.” All such descriptions are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full copies of the Second Lien Credit Agreement, the Securities Purchase Agreement, the 2018 Transaction Agreement, the 2019 Transaction Agreement, the Certificates of Designation and the Registration Rights Agreement filed or incorporated by reference as exhibits to a registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part or to the documents incorporated by reference in this prospectus.
Selling Stockholder Table
The following table sets forth, for each selling stockholder, (i) its name and address, (ii) the number of shares of common stock it beneficially owns prior to the offering to which this prospectus relates, (iii) the number of shares of common stock it may offer under this prospectus and (iv) the number of shares and percentage of our common stock that it will beneficially own following the completion of the offering to which this prospectus relates assuming all of the shares covered hereby are sold. Beneficial ownership is determined in accordance with the rules of the SEC. Generally, a person “beneficially owns” shares of common stock if the person has or shares with others the power to vote those shares or to dispose of them or if the person has the right to acquire voting or dispositive power within 60 days.
All information contained in the table below and the footnotes thereto is based upon information provided to us by the selling stockholders. The selling stockholders may have sold, transferred, otherwise disposed of or purchased, or may sell, transfer, otherwise dispose of or purchase, at any time and from time to time, shares of our common stock in transactions exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act or in the open market after the date on which they provided the information set forth in the table. It is difficult to estimate the aggregate number of shares that the selling stockholders will ultimately offer and sell pursuant to this prospectus or that the selling stockholders will ultimately own upon completion of the offering to which this prospectus relates. Unless otherwise indicated in the footnotes to this table, we believe that each of the selling stockholders named in the table has sole voting and investment power with respect to the shares of common stock indicated as beneficially owned.





As of March 27, 2019, we had 91,038,826 shares of common stock outstanding.

“at the market” offerings, which includes sales made directly on or through the NYSE American or sales made to or through a market maker other than on an exchange;
short sales effected after the date of this prospectus;
through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise;
broker-dealers may agree to sell a specified number of securities at a stipulated price;
a combination of any such methods of sale; and
any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.
The selling stockholders will act independently of us in making decisions with respect to the timing, manner, and size of each sale. There can be no assurance that any selling stockholder will sell any or all of the shares of common stock covered by this prospectus. The selling stockholders also may resell all or a portion of the shares of common stock in open market transactions in reliance upon Rule 144 under the Securities Act, to the extent available.
In connection with any particular offering of shares of common stock by a selling stockholder pursuant to this prospectus, a prospectus supplement may, to the extent required by applicable law or as otherwise determined necessary, describe a specific method of distribution and related information.
The selling stockholders and any underwriters, dealers or agents that are involved in selling securities pursuant to this prospectus may be deemed “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any commissions received by them and any profit on the resale of the securities purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act.
We and the selling stockholders have agreed to indemnify each other against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. In addition, the selling stockholders may agree to indemnify any underwriters, broker-dealers and agents against or contribute to any payments the underwriters, broker-dealers or agents may be required to make with respect to, civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. Underwriters, broker-dealers and agents and their affiliates may be customers of, engage in transactions with, or perform services for the selling stockholders or their affiliates in the ordinary course of business.





The selling stockholders may be subject to applicable provisions of Regulation M of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, which provisions may limit the timing of purchases and sales of any of the securities by the selling stockholders. Regulation M may also restrict the ability of any person engaged in the distribution of the securities to engage in market-making activities with respect to the securities. These restrictions may affect the marketability of such securities.
Pursuant to the agreements described above under “Selling Stockholders,” we have agreed to pay the costs, expenses and fees in connection with the registration of the shares covered by this prospectus, but the selling stockholders will pay any and all underwriting discounts, selling commissions and stock transfer taxes, if any, attributable to sales of their shares. We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of the shares of common stock by the selling stockholders.

Item 15. Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Section 78.7502(1) of the Nevada Revised Statutes, which is referred to as the NRS, provides that a corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending, or completed action, suit, or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative, except an action by or in the right of the corporation, by reason of the fact that the person is or was a director, officer, employee, or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee, or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise, against expenses, including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with the action, suit, or proceeding if the person acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.
Section 78.7502(2) of the NRS provides that a corporation may similarly indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending, or completed action or suit by or in the right of the corporation to procure a judgment in its favor by reason of the fact that the person is or was a director, officer, employee, or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee, or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise, against expenses, including amounts paid in settlement and attorneys’ fees actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with the defense or settlement of the action or suit if the person acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and except that no indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue, or matter as to which such a person has been adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction, after exhaustion of all appeals therefrom, to be liable to the corporation or for amounts paid in settlement to the corporation, unless and only to the extent that the court in which the action or suit was brought or other court of competent jurisdiction determines upon application that in view of all the circumstances of the case, the person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses as the court deems proper.
Section 78.7502(3) of the NRS provides that to the extent a director, officer, employee, or agent of a corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit, or proceeding referred to in subsections (1) and (2), or in defense of any claim, issue, or matter therein, the corporation shall indemnify such person against expenses, including attorneys’ fees, actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with the defense.
Section 78.751(1) of the NRS provides that any discretionary indemnification under Section 78.7502, unless ordered by a court or advanced pursuant to subsection 2 of Section 78.751, may be made by the corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon determination that indemnification of such director, officer, employee, or agent is proper in the circumstances. The determination must be made (a) by the stockholders; (b) by the board of directors by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the action, suit, or proceeding; (c) if a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the action, suit, or proceeding so orders, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion; or (d) if a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the action, suit, or proceeding cannot be obtained, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion.
Section 78.751(2) of the NRS provides that the articles of incorporation, bylaws, or an agreement made by the corporation may provide that the expenses of officers and directors incurred in defending a civil or criminal action, suit, or proceeding must be paid by the corporation as they are incurred and in advance of the final disposition of the action, suit, or proceeding, upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of the director or officer to repay the amount if it is ultimately determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that he or she is not entitled to be indemnified by the corporation. Such provision does not affect any rights to advancement of expenses to which corporate personnel other than directors or officers may be entitled under any contract or otherwise by law.
Section 78.751(3) of the NRS provides that the indemnification pursuant to Section 78.7502 of the NRS and advancement of expenses authorized in, or ordered by, a court pursuant to Section 78.751, (a) does not exclude any other rights to which a person seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under the articles of incorporation or any bylaw, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise, for either an action in the person’s official capacity or an action in another capacity while holding office, except that indemnification, unless ordered by a court pursuant to Section 78.7502 of the NRS or for the advancement of expenses made pursuant

II - 3



to Section 78.751 (2), may not be made to or on behalf of any director or officer if a final adjudication establishes that the director’s or officer’s acts or omissions involved intentional misconduct, fraud, or a knowing violation of the law and was material to the cause of action; and (b) continues for a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee, or agent and inures to the benefit of the heirs, executors, and administrators of such a person.
Section 78.752 of the NRS provides that a Nevada corporation may purchase and maintain insurance or make other financial arrangements on behalf of any person who acted in any of the capacities set forth above for any liability asserted against such person for any liability asserted against him or her and liability and expenses incurred by him or her in any such capacity or arising out of his or her status as such, whether or not the corporation has the authority to indemnify him or her against such liabilities and expenses.
Lilis’s Articles of Incorporation provide for indemnification to the fullest extent permissible under Nevada law. They also provide for the payment of expenses of any person who is or was a director or officer, or, while a director or officer of Lilis, is or was serving at the request of the Lilis as a director or officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, association or other enterprise, who is deemed to have acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of Lilis and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.
Lilis’s Bylaws provide that Lilis shall indemnify any person who is a director or officer of Lilis, or, while a director or officer of Lilis, is or was serving at the request of the Lilis as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, association or other enterprise, who is deemed to have acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of Lilis and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. Expenses incurred in defending a civil or criminal action, suit, or proceeding may be paid by Lilis in advance of the final disposition of the action, suit, or proceeding, but only after receipt by Lilis of an undertaking by or on behalf of the officer or director to repay the expenses advanced if it is ultimately determined that the officer or director is not entitled to be indemnified by Lilis as authorized in Lilis’s Bylaws. No indemnification shall be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to Lilis unless and only to the extent that the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which the court shall deem proper.


Lilis’s Bylaws also provide that the indemnification permitted in such Bylaws is intended to be to the fullest extent permissible under the laws of the State of Nevada.
The non-employee director agreements that Lilis has entered into with certain of its directors provide for indemnification of directors by Lilis to the fullest extent permitted by the laws of the State of Nevada and additionally permits advancing attorneys' fees and all other reasonable costs and expenses incurred by such director upon written demand to Lilis, generally in connection with the investigation, defense or other participation in any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding. If it is later determined that the director is or was not entitled to indemnification under applicable law, Lilis is entitled to reimbursement by the director.
Lilis maintains directors’ and officers’ insurance which, subject to certain exclusions, insures its directors and officers against certain losses which arise out of any neglect or breach of duty (including, but not limited to, any error, misstatement, act, or omission) by the directors or officers in the discharge of their duties, and insures them against amounts which Lilis has paid or may become obligated to pay as indemnification to its directors and/or officers to cover such losses.

Item 17. Undertakings
(a)
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(1)
To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
(i)
To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;
(ii)
To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price, set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;
(iii)
To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;
provided, however , that paragraphs (i), (ii) and (iii) of this section do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of the registration statement.
(2)
That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3)
To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(4)
That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser:
(i)
Each prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and
(ii)
Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii), or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by section 10(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of 314 securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective

II - 6



date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date.
(5)
That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities:
The undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:
(i)
Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;
(ii)
Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;
(iii)
The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and
(iv)
Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.
(b)
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant’s annual report pursuant to section 13(a) or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(c)
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
