Explanation of Responses:
1. The filing of this Form 3 shall not be construed as an admission that either Thomas O. Hicks (the "Principal"), the sole member of HH-HACI GP, LLC ("HH LLC"), or HH LLC, the general partner of HH-HACI, L.P. ("HH LP"), is or was for the purposes of Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the beneficial owner of any of the shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the "Common Stock") of Hicks Acquisition Company I, Inc. ("Issuer"), owned by HH LP.
2. Pursuant to Rule 16a-1, each of the Principal and HH LLC disclaims beneficial ownership except to the extent of their respective pecuniary interests.
3. HH LLC controls the voting and disposition of securities held by HH LP, of which HH LLC is the general partner. The Principal reports the securities held indirectly by HH LLC because, as the sole member of HH LLC at the time of purchase, the Principal controlled the disposition and voting of the securities.
4. HH LP owns 11,270,000 founder's units, each consisting of one share of Common Stock and one warrant ("Founder's Warrant"). Founder's Warrants are identical to the warrants currently being offered by the Issuer, except for those differences set forth in the Issuer's Form S-1 filed with the Commission on June 14, 2007, as may be amended from time to time. In addition, the Founder's Warrants may not be exercised unless and until the last sale price of the Issuer' common stock equals or exceeds $13.75 for any 20 days within any 30 day trading period beginning 90 days after the Issuer's initial business combination, and shall expire at 5:00 p.m., New York time, four years from the date of the Issuer's final prospectus.
