Forward-looking Statements
This presentation contains various forward-looking statements and information that are based on
managements current expectations and assumptions about future events. Forward-looking statements
are generally accompanied by words such as estimate, project, predict, expect, anticipate,
plan, intend, seek, will, should, goal and other words that convey the uncertainty of future
events and outcomes. Forward-looking information includes, among other matters, statements
regarding the Companys anticipated growth, quality of assets, rig utilization rate, capital spending by oil
and gas companies, production rates, the Company's growth strategy, and the Company's international
operations.  Although the Company believes that the expectations and assumptions reflected in such
forward-looking statements are reasonable, it can give no assurance that such expectations and
assumptions will prove to have been correct. Such statements are subject to certain risks, uncertainties
and assumptions, including, among others: general and regional economic conditions and industry
trends; the continued strength of the contract land drilling industry in the geographic areas where the
Company operates; decisions about onshore exploration and development projects to be made by oil
and gas companies; the highly competitive nature of the contract land drilling business; the Companys
future financial performance, including availability, terms and deployment of capital; the continued
availability of qualified personnel; changes in governmental regulations, including those relating to the
environment; the political, economic and other uncertainties encountered in the Company's
international operations and other risks, contingencies and uncertainties, most of which are difficult to
predict and many of which are beyond our control. Should one or more of these risks, contingencies or
uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary
materially from those expected.  Many of these factors have been discussed in more detail in the
Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010.  Unpredictable or
unknown factors that the Company has not discussed in this presentation or in its filings with the
Securities and Exchange Commission could also have material adverse effects on actual results of
matters that are the subject of the forward-looking statements.  All forward-looking statements speak
only as the date on which they are made and the Company undertakes no duty to update or revise any
forward-looking statements. We advise our shareholders to use caution and common sense when
considering our forward-looking statements.

Reconciliation
of
Adjusted
EBITDA
to
Net
Income
We define Adjusted EBITDA as earnings (loss) before interest income (expense), taxes, depreciation, amortization, impairments, and the
Colombian
Net
Equity
Tax.
Although
not
prescribed
under
GAAP,
we
believe
the
presentation
of
Adjusted
EBITDA
is
relevant
and
useful
because it helps our investors understand our operating performance and makes it easier to compare our results with those of other
companies that have different financing, capital or tax structures. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation from or as a
substitute
for
net
earnings
(loss)
as
an
indication
of
operating
performance
or
cash
flows
from
operating
activities
or
as
a
measure
of
liquidity. A reconciliation of net earnings (loss) to Adjusted EBITDA is included in the table below. Adjusted EBITDA, as we calculate it,
may not be comparable to EBITDA measures reported by other companies. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA does not represent funds
available for discretionary use.
