Forward-Looking Statements This presentation contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal Securities laws. All statements included in this presentation, other than statements of historical fact, regarding the Company s strategy, goals, future operations, financial position, estimated revenues and losses, projected costs, prospects, plans and objectives of management are forward-looking statements. When used in this presentation, the words could, believe, anticipate, intend, estimate, expect, may, continue, predict, potential, project, guidance, and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain such identifying words. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, these statements are based on certain assumptions made by the Company based on management s experience, expectations and perception of historical trends, current conditions, anticipated future developments and other factors believed to be appropriate. Although the Company believes that its plans, intentions and expectations reflected in or suggested by the forward-looking statements made in this presentation are reasonable, the Company gives no assurance that actual future results will not differ materially from those forecasted in this presentation. Moreover, such statements are subject to a number of assumptions, risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond the control of the Company, which may cause actual results to differ materially from those implied or expressed by the forward-looking statements. Each investor must assess and bear the risk of uncertainty inherent in the forward looking statements in this presentation. The Company discloses important factors that could cause its actual results to differ materially from its expectations in the Risk Factors and Management s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations sections of the Company s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014, and Form 10-Q for the quarters ended June 30, 2015 and March 31, 2015, each filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ( SEC ); and its other filings with the SEC. These factors include risks or liabilities assumed as a result of acquisitions, increases in our indebtedness, ability to complete any divestitures or other strategic transactions, ability to meet financial and operating guidance, ability to achieve production targets, successfully manage capital expenditures, and to complete and to test and produce the wells and prospects identified in this presentation; risks related to variations in the market demand for, and prices of, oil and natural gas; uncertainties related to commodity prices, uncertainties about the Company s estimated quantities of oil and natural gas reserves or potential locations; infrastructure for salt water disposal and electricity; the adequacy of the Company s capital resources and liquidity including, but not limited to, access to additional borrowing capacity under its revolving credit facility; general economic and business conditions; failure to realize expected value creation from property acquisitions; uncertainties about the Company s ability to replace reserves and economically develop its current reserves; risks related to the concentration of the Company s operations; drilling results; pending litigation; and potential financial losses or earnings reductions from the Company s commodity derivative positions. Accordingly, you should not place undue reliance on any of the Company s forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which such statements are made and the Company undertakes no obligation to correct or update any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by applicable law.

Reserve and Non-GAAP Information This presentation also includes financial measures that are not in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ( GAAP ), including Adjusted EBITDA and Cash Operating Expense. While management believes such measures are useful for investors because they allow for greater transparency with respect to key financial metrics, they should not be used as a replacement for financial measures that are in accordance with GAAP. The SEC permits oil and gas companies, in their filings with the SEC, to disclose proved reserves, which are those quantities of oil and gas, which, by analysis of geoscience and engineering data, can be estimated with reasonable certainty to be economically producible from a given date forward, from known reservoirs, and under existing economic conditions, operating methods, and government regulations prior to the time at which contracts providing the right to operate expire, unless evidence indicates that renewal is reasonably certain, regardless of whether deterministic or probabilistic methods are used for the estimation. SEC rules also permit the disclosure of probable and possible reserves. We disclose proved reserves but do not disclose probable or possible reserves. We may use certain broader terms such as EUR (as defined below) and other descriptions of volumes of potentially recoverable hydrocarbon resources throughout this presentation that the SEC does not permit to be included in SEC filings. These broader classifications do not constitute "reserves" as defined by the SEC, and we do not attempt to distinguish these classifications from probable or possible reserves as defined by SEC guidelines. We define EUR as the cumulative oil and gas production expected to be economically recovered from a reservoir or individual well from initial production until the end of its useful life. Our estimates of EURs and resource potential have been prepared internally by our engineers and management without review by independent engineers. These estimates are, by their nature, more speculative than estimates of proved, probable and possible reserves and accordingly are subject to substantially greater risk of being actually realized. We include these estimates to demonstrate what we believe to be the potential for future drilling and production by the Company. Actual locations drilled and quantities that may be ultimately recovered from our properties could differ substantially. In addition, we have made no commitment to drill all of the drilling locations which have been attributed to these quantities. Ultimate recoveries will be dependent upon numerous factors including actual encountered geological conditions, the impact of future oil and gas pricing, exploration and development costs, and future drilling decisions and budgets based upon our future evaluation of risk, returns and the availability of capital and, in many areas, the outcome of negotiation of drilling arrangements with holders of adjacent or fractional interest leases. Estimates of resource potential and other figures may change significantly as development of our properties provides additional data. Our forecast and expectations for future periods are dependent upon many assumptions, including estimates of production decline rates from existing wells, the undertaking and outcome of future drilling activity and activity that may be affected by significant commodity price declines or drilling cost increases. The Company s estimates of total proved reserves at December 31, 2014 are based on reports provided by Netherland, Sewell & Associates, Inc. and Cawley, Gillespie & Associates, Inc., independent petroleum engineers.
