Forward Looking Statements
Except
for
historical
information,
statements
made
in
this
release,
including
those
relating
to
significant
potential,
future
earnings,
cash
flow,
capital
expenditures,
production
growth
and
planned
number
of
wells
(as
well
as
the
timing
of
rig
operations,
natural
gas
processing
plant
commissioning
and
operations,
fracture
stimulation
activities
and
the
completion
of
wells
and
the
expected
dates
that
wells
are
producing
hydrocarbons
that
are
sold),
are
forward-looking
statements
within
the
meaning
of
Section
27A
of
the
Securities
Act
of
1933,
as
amended,
and
Section
21E
of
the
Securities
Exchange
Act
of
1934,
as
amended.
These
forward-
looking
statements
are
indicated
by
words
such
as
“expected”,
“expects”,
“anticipates”
and
similar
words.
These
statements
are
based
on
assumptions
and
estimates
that
management
believes
are
reasonable
based
on
currently
available
information;
however,
management's
assumptions
and
the
company's
future
performance
are
subject
to
a
wide
range
of
business
risks
and
uncertainties,
and
there
is
no
assurance
that
these
goals
and
projections
can
or
will
be
met.
Any
number
of
factors
could
cause
actual
results
to
differ
materially
from
those
in
the
forward-looking
statements,
including
(without
limitation)
the
following:
adverse economic conditions in the United States and globally;
the difficult and adverse conditions in the domestic and global capital and credit markets;
domestic and global demand for oil and natural gas;
sustained or further declines in the prices the company receives for oil and natural gas;
the effects of government regulation, permitting and other legal requirements;
the geologic quality of the company’s properties with regard to, among other things, the existence of hydrocarbons in economic quantities;
uncertainties about the estimates of the company’s oil and natural gas reserves;
the company’s ability to increase production and oil and natural gas income through exploration and development;
the company’s ability to successfully apply horizontal drilling techniques and tertiary recovery methods;
the number of well locations to be drilled, the cost to drill and the time frame within which they will be drilled;
the effects of adverse weather on operations;
drilling and operating risks;
the ability of contractors to timely and adequately perform their drilling, construction, well stimulation, completion and production services;
the availability of equipment, such as drilling rigs and transportation pipelines;
changes in the company’s drilling plans and related budgets;
the adequacy of capital resources and liquidity including (without limitation) access to additional borrowing capacity; and
uncertainties associated with our legal proceedings and the outcome.
The company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements. Further information on the company’s risks and uncertainties
is available in the company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The company's internal estimates of reserves may be subject to revision and may be different from estimates by the company's external reservoir engineers at
year end. Although the company believes the expectations and forecasts reflected in these and other forward-looking statements are reasonable, it can give no
assurance they will prove to have been correct. They can be affected by inaccurate assumptions or by known or unknown risks and uncertainties.

Hydrocarbon Value Estimates
Hydrocarbon Value Estimates

Hydrocarbon Volume Estimates
This presentation includes management’s estimates of Marcellus Shale potential recoverable resources, per well EUR (estimated ultimate recovery of resources)
and upside potential of recoverable resources.  Except as noted, these have been estimated internally by the Company without review by independent engineers
and do not necessarily constitute reserves.  These estimates are included to demonstrate the potential for future drilling by the Company.  Actual recovery of
these potential volumes is inherently more speculative than recovery of estimated proved reserves.  Estimates of potential recoverable resources, per well EURs
and upside potential for Company oil and gas shale acreage are particularly speculative due to the limited experience in Marcellus Shale horizontal development,
with its limited production history.  Ultimate recoveries will be dependent upon numerous factors including actual encountered geological conditions, the impact
of future oil and gas pricing and exploration costs, and our future drilling decisions and budgets based upon our future evaluation of risk, returns and the
availability of capital and, in many areas, the outcome of negotiation of drilling arrangements with holders of adjacent or fractional interest leases.  In addition,
potential recoverable resources are based on undesignated future well locations under assumed acreage spacing which may not have been specifically included
in any definitive development plan and ultimately may not be drilled.  Accordingly, such estimates may differ significantly from the hydrocarbon quantities that
are ultimately recovered.
SEC rules prohibit a publicly-reporting oil and gas company from including oil and gas resource estimates in their filings with the SEC, except proved, probable
and possible reserves that meet the SEC’s definitions of such terms.  Illinois Basin estimates (including Lawrence Field) of oil in place and other resource
volumes, oil in place and other reserve volumes indicated herein are not based on SEC definitions and guidelines.  Unless otherwise indicated, estimates of non-
proved reserves and other hydrocarbons included herein may not meet specific definitions of reserves or resource categories within the meaning of the
SPE/SPEE/WPC Petroleum Resource Management System.
