All statements, other than statements of historical fact, included in this presentation are forward-looking statements
within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements are statements
that are not historical facts, such as expectations regarding drilling plans, changes in acreage positions, and expected
capital expenditures. The assumptions of management and the future performance of the Company are subject to a
wide range of business risks and uncertainties and there is no assurance that these statements and projections will be
met. Factors that could affect the Company's business include, but are not limited to: the risks associated with drilling of
oil and natural gas wells; the Company's ability to find, acquire, market, develop, and produce new reserves; the risk of
drilling dry holes; oil and natural gas price volatility; uncertainties in the estimation of proved, probable, and possible
reserves and in the projection of future rates of production and reserve growth; inaccuracies in the Company's
assumptions regarding items of income and expense and the level of capital expenditures; uncertainties in the timing of
exploitation expenditures; operating hazards attendant to the oil and natural gas business; drilling and completion
losses that are generally not recoverable from third parties or insurance; potential mechanical failure or
underperformance of significant wells; pipeline capacity availability and pipeline construction difficulties; climatic
conditions; availability and cost of material and equipment; the risks associated with operating in a limited number of
geographic areas; availability of capital; timing of planned divestitures; regulatory developments; environmental risks;
general economic and business conditions (including the effects of the worldwide economic recession); the amount and
expected benefit of hedging arrangements; industry trends; and other factors detailed in the Company's most recent
Form 10-K and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. If one or more of these risks or uncertainties
materialize (or the consequences of such a development change), or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect,
actual outcomes may vary materially from those forecasted or expected. The Company undertakes no obligation to
publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements except as required by law.

Cautionary Statement Concerning Resources
The United States Securities and Exchange Commission permits oil and gas companies, in their filings with the SEC, to
disclose only proved, probable and possible reserves that a company anticipates as of a given date to be economically and
legally producible by application of development projects to known accumulations. We may use certain terms in this
presentation, such as “Risked Project Inventory,” “Project Counts,” “Net Risked Resources,” “Total Resources,” “Unrisked
Potential,” “Unrisked Original Resources in Place,” and “Unrisked EUR Potential” that the SEC's guidelines strictly prohibit
us from including in filings with the SEC. These estimates are by their nature more speculative than estimates of proved
reserves and accordingly are subject to substantially greater risk of actually being realized.
For filings reporting year-end 2009 reserves, the SEC permits the optional disclosure of probable and possible
reserves.  The Company has elected not to report probable and possible reserves in its filings with the SEC.  We use the
term “net risked resources” to describe the Company’s internal estimates of volumes of natural gas and oil that are not
classified as proved reserves but are potentially recoverable through exploratory drilling or additional drilling or recovery
techniques.  Estimates of unproved resources are by their nature more speculative than estimates of proved reserves and
accordingly are subject to substantially greater risk of actually being realized by the Company.  Estimates of unproved
resources may change significantly as development provides additional data, and actual quantities that are ultimately
recovered may differ substantially from prior estimates.
We use the term “BFIT NPV10” to describe the Company’s estimate of before income tax net present value discounted at
10 percent resulting from project economic evaluation. The net present value of a project is calculated by summing future
cash flows generated by a project, both inflows and outflows, and discounting those cash flows to arrive at a present
value.  Inflows primarily include revenues generated from estimated production and commodity prices at the time of the
analysis.  Outflows include drilling and completion capital and operating expenses.  Net present value is used to analyze
the profitability of a project.  Estimates of net present value may change significantly as additional data becomes
available, and with adjustments in prior estimates of actual quantities of production and recoverable reserves, commodity
prices, capital expenditures, and/or operating expenses.

Appendix 1 of 5: 3-Stream Process Flow - Gates Ranch
Note: This example describes the 3-streams of production from the average 2010 Gates Ranch horizontal
wells (based on completions as of July, 2010) and also provides a “rule of thumb” factor to convert “net
Rosetta sales volumes” (measured in Mcfe/d) to “gross wellhead gas” (measured in Mcf/d.) This is important
for understanding Rosetta’s takeway capacity situation. As described, gross wellhead gas, and therefore
takeaway capacity, is multiplied by ~1.3 to determine net sales to Rosetta.
