Forward-Looking Statements
The information presented herein may contain predictions, estimates and other
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. Although
the Company believes that its expectations are based on reasonable
assumptions, it can give no assurance that its goals will be achieved.
Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those

Business Plan - 2013
 § FOCUS + DELEVER + GROW
 § ReFOCUS Portfolio and CAPEX on Highest Returning Basins
 § Currently: Williston, Eagle Ford, PRB, Permian
 § DELEVER: Actively Pursue Divestitures
 § Properties trading above internal assessment of fair value
 § Lack of scale/high margin production
 § Exemplified by recent transactions for ~$22mm
 § Reduce leverage and maintain that profile
 § Target Debt/EBITDA < 2.0x by YE13 (1)
 § GROW: The Outcome of Sound Investment Decisions
 § Bakken/TFS:
 § Accelerate with company owned drilling rig
 § Eagle Ford:
 § Mobilize rig to commence continuous drilling program
(1) Excluding building mortgage and rig loan which are secured by the building and rig, respectively. EBITDA definition per bank loan agreement (excludes Rig EBITDA)
