Company April 12, 2010 Presentation

Forward-looking statements and cautionary statements This presentation contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. All statements, other than statements of historical facts, included in this presentation that address activities, events or developments that the Company expects, believes or anticipates will or may occur in the future are forward-looking statements. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, forward-looking statements contained in this presentation specifically include the expectations of management regarding plans, strategies, objectives, anticipated financial and operating results of the Company, including as to the Company's drilling program, estimated reserves and drilling locations, hedging activities, capital expenditures, financial and operating guidance, 3-D seismic data interpretation and potential value added by processing NGLs included in the presentation. These statements are based on certain assumptions made by the Company based on management's experience and perception of historical trends, current conditions, anticipated future developments and other factors believed to be appropriate and believed to be reasonable by management. When used in this presentation, the words "will," "potential," "believe," "intend," "expect," "may," "should," "anticipate," "could," "estimate," "plan," "predict," "project" or their negatives, other similar expressions or the statements that include those words, are intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all forward-looking statements contain such identifying words. 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. In particular, careful consideration should be given to the cautionary statements and risk factors described in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on March 12, 2010. Any forward- looking statement speaks only as of the date on which such statement is 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. The SEC now permits oil and gas companies, in their filings with the SEC, to disclose only proved, probable and possible reserves that meet the SEC's definitions for such terms, and price and cost sensitivities for such reserves, and prohibits disclosure of resources that do not constitute such reserves. The Company uses the terms "estimated ultimate recovery," "EUR," "resource" reserves, reserve "potential," "upside" or other descriptions of volumes of reserves potentially recoverable through additional drilling or recovery techniques that the SEC's rules may prohibit the Company from including in filings with the SEC. 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 by the Company.

Appendix

Financial and operating guidance 2010 financial and operating guidance The table below sets forth the Company's current 2010 financial and operating guidance. The 2010 guidance is forward-looking information that is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond the Company's control, as further described on page 2 of this presentation. April 12, 2010 | 24

Equity ownership Ownership of management & certain beneficial owners at 3/31/2010 (1)As of most recent public filings, 2.4 million shares are owned by non-affiliate holders of 5% or more of our outstanding common stock. April 12, 2010 | 25

Liquidity and long-term debt-to-capital Improved liquidity Improved long-term debt-to-capital ratio Long-term debt-to-capital ratio is calculated as of December 31, 2009, and by dividing long-term debt (GAAP) of $32.3 million by the sum of total stockholders' equity (GAAP) and long-term debt (GAAP) of $252.8 million. We use the long-term debt-to-capital ratio as a measurement of our overall financial leverage. However, this ratio has limitations. This ratio can vary from year to year for the Company and can vary among companies based on what is or is not included in the ratio on a company's financial statements. This ratio is provided in addition to, and not as an alternative for, and should be read in conjunction with, the information contained in our financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP (including the notes), included in our SEC filings and posted on our website. Liquidity is calculated by adding the net funds available under our revolving credit facility and cash and cash equivalents. We use liquidity as an indicator of the Company's ability to fund development and exploration activities. However, this measurement has limitations. This measurement can vary from year to year for the Company and can vary among companies based on what is or is not included in the measurement on a company's financial statements. This measurement is provided in addition to, and not as an alternative for, and should be read in conjunction with, the information contained in our financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP (including the notes), included in our SEC filings and posted on our website April 12, 2010 | 26

Finding & development costs reconciliation (unaudited) We believe that providing measures of finding and development, or F&D, cost is useful to assist an evaluation of how much it costs the Company, on a per Mcfe basis, to add proved reserves. However, these measures are provided in addition to, and not as an alternative for, and should be read in conjunction with, the information contained in our financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP (including the notes), included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 12, 2010. Due to various factors, including timing differences, F&D costs do not necessarily reflect precisely the costs associated with particular reserves. For example, exploration costs may be recorded in periods before the periods in which related increases in reserves are recorded and development costs may be recorded in periods after the periods in which related increases in reserves are recorded. In addition, changes in commodity prices can affect the magnitude of recorded increases (or decreases) in reserves independent of the related costs of such increases. As a result of the above factors and various factors that could materially affect the timing and amounts of future increases in reserves and the timing and amounts of future costs, including factors disclosed in our filings with the SEC, we cannot assure you that the Company's future F&D costs will not differ materially from those set forth above. Further, the methods we use to calculate F&D costs may differ significantly from methods used by other companies to compute similar measures. As a result, our F&D costs may not be comparable to similar measures provided by other companies. The following table reflects the reconciliation of our estimated finding and development costs for the year ended December 31, 2009 to the information required by paragraphs 11 and 21 of ASC 932-235: April 12, 2010 | 27

F&D costs reconciliation (unaudited) - cont. Drill-bit finding and development ("F&D") costs are calculated by dividing the sum of exploration costs and development costs for the year, by the total of reserve extensions and discoveries for the year. All-in F&D costs, including revisions, are calculated by dividing the sum of property acquisition costs, exploration costs and development costs for the year, by the total of reserve extensions, discoveries, purchases and all revisions for the year. All-in F&D costs, including revisions and the change in future development costs, are calculated by dividing the sum of property acquisition costs, exploration costs, development costs and the change in future development costs from the prior year, by the total of reserve extensions, discoveries, purchases and all revisions for the year. Definitions Reconciliation (1) Includes $170,000 in non-cash asset retirement obligations recorded in 2009. April 12, 2010 | 28

Production replacement Production replaced from drilling alone is calculated by dividing extensions and discoveries of 30.4 Bcfe by production of 8.8 Bcfe. Production replaced from all sources is calculated by dividing net proved reserve additions of 16.7 Bcfe (the sum of extensions and discoveries and revisions) by production of 8.8 Bcfe. We use production replacement ratios as an indicator of the Company's potential ability to replace annual production volumes and grow our reserves. However, these production replacement ratios have limitations. These ratios can vary from year to year for the Company and among other oil and gas companies based on the extent and timing of discoveries and property acquisitions. In addition, since these ratios do not incorporate the cost or timing of future production of new reserves, they should not be used as a measure of value creation. April 12, 2010 | 29

EBITDAX reconciliation (unaudited) $ thousands, except per-share amounts We define EBITDAX as (loss) income, plus (1) exploration expense, (2) impairment of unproved properties, (3) depletion, depreciation and amortization expense, (4) share-based compensation expense, (5) impairment of investment, (6) unrealized loss (gain) on commodity derivatives, (7) interest expense and (8) income taxes. EBITDAX is not a measure of net income or cash flow as determined by GAAP. The amounts included in the calculation of EBITDAX were computed in accordance with GAAP. EBITDAX is presented herein and reconciled to the GAAP measure of net (loss) income because of its wide acceptance by the investment community as a financial indicator of a company's ability to internally fund development and exploration activities. This measure is provided in addition to, and not as an alternative for, and should be read in conjunction with, the information contained in our financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP (including the notes), included in our SEC filings and posted on our website. April 12, 2010 | 30

Adjusted net income reconciliation (unaudited) $ thousands, except per-share amounts The amounts included in the calculation of adjusted net income and adjusted net income per diluted share below were computed in accordance with GAAP. We believe adjusted net income and adjusted net income per diluted share are useful to investors because they provide readers with a more meaningful measure of our profitability before recording certain items whose timing or amount cannot be reasonably determined. However, these measures are provided in addition to, and not as an alternative for, and should be read in conjunction with, the information contained in our financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP (including the notes), included in our SEC filings and posted on our website. April 12, 2010 | 31

PV-10 reconciliation (unaudited) The present value of our proved reserves, discounted at 10% (PV-10), was estimated at $128.9 million at December 31, 2009. Under the Current Price Case, PV-10 was calculated based on the first-of-the-month, 12-month average for natural gas, oil and NGLs, or $3.87 per MMBtu, $61.04 per Bbl of oil and $27.20 per Bbl of NGLs, respectively. PV-10 based the Previous Price Case totaled $317.4 million and assumed the posted spot price as of December 31, 2009, for natural gas, oil and NGLs, or $5.79 per MMBtu, $76.00 per Bbl of oil and $42.94 per Bbl of NGLs, respectively. PV-10 is our estimate of the present value of future net revenues from proved oil and gas reserves after deducting estimated production and ad valorem taxes, future capital costs and operating expenses, but before deducting any estimates of future income taxes. The estimated future net revenues are discounted at an annual rate of 10% to determine their "present value." We believe PV-10 to be an important measure for evaluating the relative significance of our oil and gas properties and that the presentation of the non-GAAP financial measure of PV-10 provides useful information to investors because it is widely used by professional analysts and investors in evaluating oil and gas companies. Because there are many unique factors that can impact an individual company when estimating the amount of future income taxes to be paid, we believe the use of a pre-tax measure is valuable for evaluating the Company. We believe that PV-10 is a financial measure routinely used and calculated similarly by other companies in the oil and gas industry. The following table reconciles PV-10 to our standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows (the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP). PV-10 should not be considered as an alternative to the standardized measure of discounted future net cash flows as computed under GAAP. April 12, 2010 | 32
