FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This presentation includes “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. Forward-looking statements are statements other than those of historical fact that give our current expectations or

forecasts of future events. They include production forecasts, estimates of operating costs, assumptions regarding future natural gas and liquids

prices, anticipated asset sales, planned drilling activity and drilling and completion capital expenditures and other anticipated cash outflows, as well

as projected cash flow and liquidity, business strategy and other plans and objectives for future operations.

Disclosures concerning the estimated contribution of derivative contracts to our future results of operations are based upon market information as of

a specific date, and such market prices are subject to significant volatility. Our production forecasts are dependent upon many assumptions,

including estimates of production decline rates from existing wells and the outcome of future drilling activity. Our ability to generate sufficient

operating cash flow to fund future capital expenditures is subject to all the risks and uncertainties that exist in our industry, some of which we may

not be able to anticipate at this time. Pending sales transactions are subject to closing conditions and may not be completed in the time frame

anticipated. Further, asset sales we are evaluating as we focus on our strategic priorities are subject to market conditions and other factors beyond

our control. Our plans to reduce financial leverage and complexity may take longer to implement if such sales are delayed or do not occur as

expected.

Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from expected results are described under “Risk Factors” in Item 1A of our 2012 annual

report on Form 10-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on March 1, 2013. These risk factors include the volatility of natural

gas, oil and NGL prices; the limitations our level of indebtedness may have on our financial flexibility; declines in the prices of natural gas and oil

potentially resulting in a write-down of our asset carrying values; the availability of capital on an economic basis, including through planned asset

sales, to fund reserve replacement costs; our ability to replace reserves and sustain production; uncertainties inherent in estimating quantities of

natural gas, oil and NGL reserves and projecting future rates of production and the amount and timing of development expenditures; our ability to

generate profits or achieve targeted results in drilling and well operations; leasehold terms expiring before production can be established; hedging

activities resulting in lower prices realized on natural gas, oil and NGL sales; the need to secure hedging liabilities and the inability of hedging

counterparties to satisfy their obligations; drilling and operating risks, including potential environmental liabilities; legislative and regulatory changes

adversely affecting our industry and our business, including initiatives related to hydraulic fracturing, air emissions and endangered species; current

worldwide economic uncertainty which may have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, liquidity and financial condition; oilfield

services shortages, gathering system and transportation capacity constraints and various transportation interruptions that could adversely affect our

revenues and cash flow; losses possible from pending or future litigation and regulatory investigations; cyber attacks adversely impacting our

operations; and the loss of key operational personnel or inability to maintain our corporate culture.

Although we believe the expectations and forecasts reflected in forward-looking statements are reasonable, we can give no assurance they will prove

to have been correct. They can be affected by inaccurate or changed assumptions or by known or unknown risks and uncertainties. We caution you

not to place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this presentation, and we undertake no obligation

to update this information.

RECONCILIATION OF ADJUSTED NET INCOME AVAILABLE TO COMMON STOCKHOLDERS

26

(1) Adjusted net income available to common stockholders and adjusted earnings per share assuming dilution exclude certain items that management believes affect the comparability of operating

results. The company believes these adjusted financial measures are a useful adjunct to earnings calculated in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) because: (i) Management uses adjusted net income available to common stockholders to evaluate the company's operational trends and performance relative to other natural gas and oil producing

companies. (ii) Adjusted net income available to common stockholders is more comparable to earnings estimates provided by securities analysts. (iii) Items excluded generally are one-time items or items whose timing or amount cannot be reasonably estimated. Accordingly, any guidance provided by the company generally excludes

information regarding these types of items. (2) In millions. Weighted average fully diluted shares outstanding include shares that were considered antidilutive for calculating earnings per share in accordance with GAAP

RECONCILIATION OF OPERATING CASH FLOW, EBITDA AND ADJUSTED EBITDA

27

(1) Operating cash flow represents net cash provided by operating activities before changes in assets and liabilities. Operating cash flow is presented because management believes it is a useful adjunct to net cash provided by operating activities under GAAP. Operating cash flow is widely accepted as a financial indicator of a natural gas and oil company's ability to generate cash which is used to internally fund exploration and development activities and to service debt. This measure is widely used by investors and rating agencies in the valuation, comparison, rating and investment recommendations of companies within the natural gas and oil exploration and production industry. Operating cash flow is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to cash flows from operating, investing or financing activities as an indicator of cash flows, or as a measure of liquidity.

(2) Ebitda represents net income (loss) before interest expense, income taxes, and depreciation, depletion and amortization expense. Ebitda is presented as a supplemental financial measurement in the evaluation of our business. We believe that it provides additional information regarding our ability to meet our future debt service, capital expenditures and working capital requirements. This measure is widely used by investors and rating agencies in the valuation, comparison, rating and investment recommendations of companies. Ebitda is also a financial measurement that, with certain negotiated adjustments, is reported to our lenders pursuant to our bank credit agreements and is used in the financial covenants in our bank credit agreements. Ebitda is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP. Accordingly, it should not be considered as a substitute for net income, income from operations or cash flow provided by operating activities prepared in accordance with GAAP.

(3) Adjusted ebitda excludes certain items that management believes affect the comparability of operating results. The company believes these non-GAAP financial measures are a useful adjunct to ebitda because: (i) Management uses adjusted ebitda to evaluate the company's operational trends and performance relative to other natural gas and oil producing companies. (ii) Adjusted ebitda is more comparable to estimates provided by securities analysts. (iii) Items excluded generally are one-time items or items whose timing or amount cannot be reasonably estimated. Accordingly, any guidance provided by the company generally excludes information regarding these types of items.
