 This presentation includes forward-looking statements, which give the Company's current expectations or forecasts of
 future events based on currently available information. Forward-looking statements are statements that are not historical
 facts, such as expectations regarding drilling plans, including the acceleration thereof, production rates and guidance,
 resource potential, incremental transportation capacity, exit rate guidance, net present value, development plans,
 progress on infrastructure projects, exposures to weak natural gas prices, changes in the Company's liquidity, changes in
 acreage positions, expected expenses, expected capital expenditures, and projected debt balances. The assumptions of
 management and the future performance of the Company are subject to a wide range of business risks and uncertainties
 and there is no assurance that these statements and projections will be met. Factors that could affect the Company's
 business include, but are not limited to: the risks associated with drilling of oil and natural gas wells; the Company's
 ability to find, acquire, market, develop, and produce new reserves; the risk of drilling dry holes; oil and natural gas price
 volatility; derivative transactions (including the costs associated therewith and the abilities of counterparties to perform
 thereunder); uncertainties in the estimation of proved, probable, and possible reserves and in the projection of future
 rates of production and reserve growth; inaccuracies in the Company's assumptions regarding items of income and
 expense and the level of capital expenditures; uncertainties in the timing of exploitation expenditures; operating hazards
 attendant to the oil and natural gas business; drilling and completion losses that are generally not recoverable from third
 parties or insurance; potential mechanical failure or underperformance of significant wells; pipeline construction
 difficulties; climatic conditions; availability and cost of material, equipment and services; the risks associated with
 operating in a limited number of geographic areas; actions or inactions of third-party operators of the Company's
 properties; the Company's ability to retain skilled personnel; diversion of management's attention from existing
 operations while pursuing acquisitions or dispositions; availability of capital; the strength and financial resources of the
 Company's competitors; regulatory developments; environmental risks; uncertainties in the capital markets;
 uncertainties with respect to asset sales; general economic and business conditions (including the effects of the
 worldwide economic recession); industry trends; and other factors detailed in the Company's most recent Form 10-K,
 Form 10Q and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. If one or more of these risks or uncertainties
 materialize (or the consequences of such a development changes), or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect,
 actual outcomes may vary materially from those forecasted or expected. The Company undertakes no obligation to
 publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements except as required by law.

 For filings reporting year-end 2010 reserves, the SEC permits the optional disclosure of probable and possible
 reserves.  The Company has elected not to report probable and possible reserves in its filings with the SEC.  We use the
 term “net risked resources” to describe the Company’s internal estimates of volumes of natural gas and oil that are not
 classified as proved reserves but are potentially recoverable through exploratory drilling or additional drilling or recovery
 techniques.  Estimates of unproved resources are by their nature more speculative than estimates of proved reserves and
 accordingly are subject to substantially greater risk of actually being realized by the Company.  Estimates of unproved
 resources may change significantly as development provides additional data, and actual quantities that are ultimately
 recovered may differ substantially from prior estimates. We use the term “BFIT NPV10” to describe the Company’s
 estimate of before income tax net present value discounted at 10 percent resulting from project economic evaluation. The
 net present value of a project is calculated by summing future cash flows generated by a project, both inflows and
 outflows, and discounting those cash flows to arrive at a present value.  Inflows primarily include revenues generated from
 estimated production and commodity prices at the time of the analysis.  Outflows include drilling and completion capital
 and operating expenses.  Net present value is used to analyze the profitability of a project.  Estimates of net present value
 may change significantly as additional data becomes available, and with adjustments in prior estimates of actual quantities
 of production and recoverable reserves, commodity prices, capital expenditures, and/or operating expenses
.
