To Brokers, Dealers, Commercial Banks, Trust Companies and Other Nominees:
 
We have been engaged by ICN Fund I, LLC, a Texas limited liability company (“Purchaser”), to act as Information Agent in connection with Purchaser’s offer to purchase all outstanding shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Shares”), of Tengasco, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Tengasco”), at a purchase price of $0.2736 per Share, net to the seller in cash, without interest thereon and subject to any required withholding taxes, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the offer to purchase, dated June 25, 2015 (as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time, the “Offer to Purchase”), and the related letter of transmittal (as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time, the “Letter of Transmittal” and, together with the Offer to Purchase, the “Offer”) enclosed herewith. Please furnish copies of the enclosed materials to those of your clients for whom you hold Shares registered in your name or in the name of your nominee.
 
The Offer is not subject to any financing condition. The Offer is, however, subject to the satisfaction of the Minimum Condition (as defined in the Offer to Purchase), the Governmental Entity Condition, and Litigation Condition, and the other conditions described in the Offer to Purchase. See Section 15 of the Offer to Purchase.
 
For your information and for forwarding to your clients for whom you hold Shares registered in your name or in the name of your nominee, we are enclosing the following documents:
 
1. The Offer to Purchase;
 
2. The Letter of Transmittal for your use in accepting the Offer and tendering Shares and for the information of your clients, together with the included Internal Revenue Service Form W-9;
 
3. A notice of guaranteed delivery to be used to accept the Offer if Shares and all other required documents cannot be delivered to Issuer Direct Corporation (the “Depositary”) by the Expiration Date or if the procedure for book-entry transfer cannot be completed by the Expiration Date (the “Notice of Guaranteed Delivery”);
 
4. A form of letter which may be sent to your clients for whose accounts you hold Shares registered in your name or in the name of your nominee, with space provided for obtaining such clients’ instructions with regard to the Offer; and

We urge you to contact your clients as promptly as possible. Please note that the Offer and withdrawal rights will expire at the end of the day, 12:00 midnight, New York City time, on August 5, 2015, unless the Offer is extended or earlier terminated.
 
The Offer is being made pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of June 25, 2015 (the “Tender Offer Agreement”), by and between Purchaser and Tengasco. The Tender Offer Agreement provides, among other things, that following the consummation of the Offer and subject to the satisfaction or waiver (to the extent permitted under applicable law) of certain conditions set forth in the Tender Offer Agreement, Purchaser will be merged with and into Tengasco (the “Subsequent Merger”) as soon as practicable without a meeting of the stockholders of Tengasco in accordance with Section 251(h) of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, with Tengasco continuing as the surviving corporation in the subsequent merger of Purchaser with and into Tengasco and thereby becoming a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of Purchaser.
 
The board of directors of Tengasco, has not yet opined that the Offer and the transactions contemplated thereby are advisable and fair to, and in the best interests of, Tengasco and its stockholders, (i) the Offer and the transactions contemplated thereby and declared the Offer and the transactions contemplated thereby advisable, in each case in accordance with the requirements of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware and (ii) to recommend that the stockholders of Tengasco accept the Offer and tender all of their Shares pursuant to the Offer.
 
For Shares to be properly tendered pursuant to the Offer, (a) the share certificates or confirmation of receipt of a book-entry transfer of such Shares into the Depositary’s account at The Depository Trust Company pursuant to the procedure for tendering shares, together with a properly completed and duly executed Letter of Transmittal, including any required signature guarantees, or, in the case of a book-entry transfer, either such Letter of Transmittal or an Agent’s Message (as defined in Section 3 of the Offer to Purchase) in lieu of such Letter of Transmittal, and any other documents required by the Letter of Transmittal, must be timely received by the Depositary or (b) the tendering stockholder must comply with the guaranteed delivery procedures, all in accordance with the Offer to Purchase and the Letter of Transmittal. You may gain some additional time by making use of the Notice of Guaranteed Delivery. Shares tendered by the Notice of Guaranteed Delivery will not be deemed validly tendered for purposes of satisfying the Minimum Condition, unless and until such Shares and other required documents are delivered to the Depositary prior to the Expiration Date. Under no circumstances will interest be paid on the purchase price for Shares, regardless of any extension of the Offer or any delay in making payment for Shares.
 
Except as set forth in the Offer to Purchase, Purchaser will not pay any fees or commissions to any broker or dealer or to any other person (other than to the Depositary and the Information Agent) in connection with the solicitation of tenders of Shares pursuant to the Offer. Brokers, dealers, commercial banks and trust companies will, upon request, be reimbursed by Purchaser for customary mailing and handling expenses incurred by them in forwarding offering materials to their customers. Purchaser will pay all stock transfer taxes applicable to its purchase of Shares pursuant to the Offer, subject to Instruction 6 of the Letter of Transmittal.
