Forward Looking Statements
This presentation contains forward-looking statements, as defined in Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or the Exchange Act.
These forward-looking statements relate to, among other things, the following:
our future financial and operating performance and results;
our business strategy;
market prices;
our future use of derivative financial instruments; and
our plans and forecasts.
We have based these forward-looking statements on our current assumptions, expectations and projections about future events.
We use the words "may," "expect," "anticipate," "estimate," "believe," "continue," "intend," "plan," "budget" and other similar words to identify forward-looking statements. You should read
statements that contain these words carefully because they discuss future expectations, contain projections of results of operations or of our financial condition and/or state other "forward-
looking" information. We do not undertake any obligation to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statements, except as required by law. These statements also involve risks and
uncertainties that could cause our actual results or financial condition to materially differ from our expectations in this presentation, including, but not limited to:
fluctuations in prices of oil and natural gas;
imports of foreign oil and natural gas, including liquefied natural gas;
future capital requirements and availability of financing;
continued disruption of credit and capital markets and the ability of financial institutions to honor their commitments, such as the events which occurred during the third quarter of 2008
and thereafter, for an extended period of time;
estimates of reserves and economic assumptions used in connection with our acquisitions;
geological concentration of our reserves;
risks associated with drilling and operating wells;
exploratory risks, including our Marcellus and Huron shale plays in Appalachia and our Haynesville/Bossier shale play in East Texas/North Louisiana;
risks associated with operation of natural gas pipelines and gathering systems;
discovery, acquisition, development and replacement of oil and natural gas reserves;
cash flow and liquidity;
timing and amount of future production of oil and natural gas;
availability of drilling and production equipment;
marketing of oil and natural gas;
developments in oil-producing and natural gas-producing countries;
title to our properties;
competition;
litigation;
general economic conditions, including costs associated with drilling and operation of our properties;
environmental or other governmental regulations, including legislation to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases;
receipt and collectibility of amounts owed to us by purchasers of our production and counterparties to our derivative financial instruments;
decisions whether or not to enter into derivative financial instruments;
potential acts of terrorism;
actions of third party co-owners of interests in properties in which we also own an interest;
fluctuations in interest rates; and
our ability to effectively integrate companies and properties that we acquire..

Forward Looking Statements (continued)
We believe that it is important to communicate our expectations of future performance to our investors.  However, events may occur in the future that we are unable to accurately predict, or
over which we have no control.  You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on a forward-looking statement.  When considering our forward-looking statements, keep in mind the risk factors
and other cautionary statements in this presentation, and the risk factors included in the Annual Reports on Form 10-K and our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q.
Our revenues, operating results, financial condition and ability to borrow funds or obtain additional capital depend substantially on prevailing prices for oil and natural gas, the availability of
capital from our revolving credit facilities and liquidity from capital markets.  Declines in oil or natural gas prices may materially adversely affect our financial condition, liquidity, ability to obtain
financing and operating results.  Lower oil or natural gas prices also may reduce the amount of oil or natural gas that we can produce economically.  A decline in oil and/or natural gas prices
could have a material adverse effect on the estimated value and estimated quantities of our oil and natural gas reserves, our ability to fund our operations and our financial condition, cash
flow, results of operations and access to capital.  Historically, oil and natural gas prices and markets have been volatile, with prices fluctuating widely, and they are likely to continue to be
volatile.
Effective January 1, 2010, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) permits oil and gas companies, in their filings with the SEC, to disclose not only "proved" reserves
(i.e., quantities of oil and gas that are estimated to be recoverable with a high degree of confidence), but also "probable" reserves (i.e., quantities of oil and gas that are as likely as not to be
recovered) as well as "possible" reserves (i.e., additional quantities of oil and gas that might be recovered, but with a lower probability than probable reserves). As noted above, statements of
reserves are only estimates and may not correspond to the ultimate quantities of oil and gas recovered. Any reserve estimates provided in this presentation that are not specifically designated
as being estimates of proved reserves may include estimated reserves not necessarily calculated in accordance with, or contemplated by, the SEC's latest reserve reporting guidelines.
Investors are urged to consider closely the disclosure in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, which is available on our website at
www.excoresources.com under the Investor Relations tab or by calling us at 214-368-2084.
