Questions/Answers:

How much will MHR spend on acquisitions?

Bought $11 mil on leases due to commitments of mergers. No more large lease purchases. Having
to buy little piece to complete exisitng drilling. $20 in 2015 projected. Have spend $11 already.

Credit Facilities in Place. Any issues in next year?

No financial convents on the second lien only reserve requirements. First lien borrowing on $50 mil.
No one can make money at $32 oil. We have walked away from one well that did not make sense.
We have no rig or frac crew commitments.

Which liquidity solutions would MHR do first?

Working hard on the joint venture as it bring cheap capital. Selling 5% to 10% to Eureka can do at anytime if necessary.

Timing at spin off for Eureka?

Spinning of Eureka should in in Q2. Valuation based on $50 to $60 mil EBITDA could by $1.2 Bill.
Eureka has own line of credit. Have $225 mil line of credit if necessary. 13 banks funding the line of credit.

2014 Exit rate?

No specifics as an audit is going on. Not far from projections.

Total cash outlays of 2015?

$600 mil high yield debt - about $80 mil payment
$240 mil in line of credit??? at 7%

$80 mil fixed payment excluding preferreds.

Maximum capacity on Eureka?

1.7 btf's could improve to 2.2 depending on interconnects
Bulk of big pipe laying has been done

Was can current gas be moved? Firm transportation?

Committed to $250 mil of firm but most of that does not kick into 2016.
Negotiating about $50 mil of firm at $0.50 an MTF

Are you bearish on gas short term. 2016-2017 story?

Yes. Not bullish on gas in 2015. Still some winter to go but no idea if we get short term
traction.

Hedging program?

Have changed credit convents so now can hedge 80% of production.
Do not want to hedge at $2.90 gas though. Hope for opportunities this year.
