Business Strategy We will pursue the following principal business strategies to create value for our investors, build reserves and cash flow through the following strategies: • Drive Growth through Aggressive Drilling, Development and Exploration on the Company's acreage position to maximize the value of our resource potential. We expect to generate long-term commercially recoverable reserves and production predominantly through the development and exploration of the drilling locations we have specifically identified on our Bakken/Three Forks Formation, SE/Pinedale Eden Ranch Unit, Tiger Tail and State Line Prospects and the other numerous Company Prospects. At this time, our 2014 drilling plan has targeted the Bakkenahree Forks formation which contemplates -2- EFTA00614892  October 21, 2014 drilling approximately 85 additional wells on the Company Prospects that we believe have significant potential for commercially recoverable reserves. • Pursue Commercially Recoverable Reserves and Leasehold Acquisitions. We intend to use our experience, vast technical data and regional expertise to supplement our growth strategy with complementary acquisitions. We anticipate obtaining oil and natural gas recoverable reserves through our own additional direct drilling and completion of wells. We will also actively review acquisition opportunities on an ongoing basis. • Focus on Natural Gas with Associated Gas Liquids, as well as Oil and Carbon Dioxide Gas, in the Rocky Mountain Region. We intend to develop, explore and capitalize on our large estimated undeveloped oil, condensate and natural gas reserves and resource base in the Rocky Mountains, while selectively pursuing additional attractive oil, hydrocarbon, natural gas and carbon dioxide gas opportunities in other states. Competitive Strengths We have a number of strengths that we believe will help us to successfully execute our business strategies: • Experienced Management Team. The anticipated members of our Board of Directors (the "Board") and senior management have an average of over 30 years of experience working in the oil and natural gas development, exploration and production industry, with extensive track records and expertise in the full spectrum of Rocky Mountain plays. • Rocky Mountain Asset Base. Our Rocky Mountain asset base aggregates, as of the date hereof, approximately 70,000 net acres in the sought after Rocky Mountain basins. Although we are focused in the Rocky Mountain region, we have prospects in fifteen (15) distinct sedimentary basins, including the Permian Basin of New Mexico, the Hugoton Basin of Kansas and Colorado, which provides us with a degree of geographic, economic and geologic diversification allowing us to select the most attractive drillable properties and to minimize the risk. Our Company Prospects and Emerging Prospects are discussed in greater detail in the "Proposed Activities" section of the Confidential Investment Memorandum. • Inventory of Development and Exploration Opportunities. To date, we have identified more than 1,800 drilling locations across our 50 developed Company Prospects, and across 8 Emerging Prospects. • Technology Strategy. GADECO's technology strategy is based on the integration of the newest available technology of the geophysical, petrophysical and geological sciences in addition to petroleum, reservoir and drilling engineering. We specialize in geophysical (seismic and gravity) interpretations by reprocessing old magnetic tapes using current technology to recover information that can determine hidden oil and natural gas potential in structural and stratigraphic traps that have also been either bypassed or overlooked. • We possess the most up-to-date horizontal drilling technology and horizontal well stimulation. Technology Strategy -3- EFTA00614893  October 21, 2014 Specifically, our working strategy in concentrating new development and exploration opportunities is: I. Concentrating on older and "bypassed" accumulations in previously drilled wells. 2. Remapping potential oil and natural gas producing structures seen by earlier surface and subsurface work and unsuccessfully tested with more detailed subsurface seismic and geological work showing that the surface structures have shifted with depth due to the intensity of folding, thus presenting a more valid target for new development and exploration drilling. 3. Using new and proven well completion techniques, which may increase the initial and future production capacity of wells, as well as enlarging drainage areas for each well. The availability of improved and new techniques of horizontal drilling will drain oil from reservoirs that have been drilled through by the older straight hole technique, or have been poorly evaluated and thus not exploited, such as the Bakken, Three Forks and Sanish Formations in North Dakota and Montana, as well as the A, B and C Niobrara and Codell Formations in Northeast Colorado and Wyoming and the Mowery Formation in Wyoming. 4. Applying our technological expertise to identify areas and geological intervals with seismic characteristics (such as low velocities) that indicate the presence of natural gas and condensate. Recent Discoveries The Company had some significant developments as of January 1, 2014 in our drilling program: I. The North Dakota Industrial Commission has determined that there are 6.5 billion barrels of technically recoverable oil plus associated natural gas assessed in North Dakota and Montana's Bakken/Three Forks and continuously increasing. 2. According to the above "The Bakken Formation estimate is larger than all other USGS oil assessments of the lower 48 states and is the largest `continuous' oil accumulation ever assessed by the USGS. A `continuous' oil accumulation means that the oil resource is dispersed throughout a geologic formation rather than existing as discrete, localized occurrences. The next largest `continuous' oil accumulation in the U.S. is in the Austin Chalk of Texas and Louisiana, with an undiscovered estimate of 1.0 billion of barrels of technically recoverable oil." 3. The Sanish/Three Forks Formations are approximately 160 feet below the top of the Bakken. Because the two formations have a net pay of 20 to 30 feet in a porous and permeable dolomitic sandstone reservoir, it is our best estimate that the recoverable oil and associated natural gas reserves will double those of the fractured Bakken dolomitic shale recoverable reserves, giving us a total of 284 wells with a varying interest of 6% to100% equivalent net interest, but in reality it would be 400 wells with a 50% equivalent interest. -4- EFTA00614894  October 21, 2014 4. We now have one-hundred-seventy-four (174) Bakken/Three Forks producing (discoveries) 95 the last twenty-four (24) months, with ninety (90) wells drilling or starting to drill and nineteen (19) additional wells left to be drilled in 2014 for a total of one hundred and nine (109) wells. The Company now has up to four-hundred (400) owned proven locations in the Bakken/Three Forks to be drilled in the next few years with 40 to 60 million barrels of oil and 3 billion cubic feet natural gas of recoverable potential. The Williston Basin region is the hottest oil drilling development area in the United States and has now surpassed approximately 1,000,000 barrels of oil per day production and expected to peak at 1,300,000 barrels per day production over the next few years. This region is also very low risk because it is based on vertically drilled wells fifty (50) to sixty (60) years ago that are now being drilled horizontally to increase the oil recovery as well as daily oil and natural gas production which are significant. 5. On the Southeast Pinedale project comprising 17,595 acres the Company has drilled and completed a confirmation well to a total depth of 17,005 feet with 3,824 cumulative feet of identified potential producing horizons of natural gas and condensate. This is the confirmation well one mile south to the first discovery at 14,040 feet with 1,100 feet of cumulative producing horizons of which only 60% has been completed and connected to the Anadarko pipeline with estimated initial production of four (4) million cubic feet of natural gas and 150 barrels of condensate per day. The pipeline of two (2) miles to connect both of these wells is complete with expected daily production of 6 million cubic feet per day of natural gas and 300 barrels of condensate per day with 900 proven development locations based on the newest seismic velocity technology processing on our Southeast Pinedale project. Drilled another confirmation well and TD at 16,166 feet on October 28, 2012 and has completed this well in December 2013. The Company is drilling the Big Sandy Federal 1-10 in the Southeast Pinedale/Eden Ranch prospect. The natural gas is very rich with a heating content of 1400 Btu. 6. Two Hiawatha Deep wells are being completed and it is expected that they will produce two (2) million cubic feet of natural gas per day with a shallow 5,000 foot Hiawatha well producing 100 barrels of oil and natural gas equivalent per day and three (3) additional developed locations to be drilled in 2014-15.

We estimate that our 1,320 acres - 10- EFTA00614900  October 21, 2014 has six (6) million barrels of recoverable oil. Anadarko Exploration and EOG are seeking a farmout from us on the subject acreage. Our Tiger Tail Prospect is located in the Denver Julesburg Basin in Northeastern Colorado. Noble Energy Company holds the leases on several adjacent properties, and has made significant discoveries, the first of which is located in the SE/4 SW/4 of section 2, T7N- R64W producing 500 barrels of oil per day, and a second discovery in the NW/4 NE/4 of section 11, T7N- R64W that was only recently completed. Noble Energy drilled four (4) Lyons wells surrounding our TigerTail seismic prospect which were all water wet and defined the oil-water contact in the Lyons. We have entered into a communization agreement with Noble Energy which gives us a 50% ownership stake in their McKay AB 02-14 well, a water drive Lyons well that was put on production at the end of June, 2010, and which is currently producing approximately 450 barrels of oil per day. As part of the agreement, Noble has participated in the development of the first GADECO well in the Tiger Tail prospect, the McKay AB 02-15. Work on the McKay AB 02-15 well commenced in February, 2012 and it was completed and put on production in April, 2012 with initial production of 800 barrels of oil per day. The Lyons sandstone is subject to Tertiary CO2 food from the Greely, Colorado power plant exhaust, 25 miles away, tripling the Lyons oil recovery reserves. The terms of our agreement with Noble Energy have allowed us access to their extensive 3-D seismic and other technical data for section 2. After reviewing this information, we have staked the three (3) Lyons Sandstone locations and will start drilling five (5) additional Lyons wells starting in 2013 to approximately 9,000 feet and hope to develop 2,000 barrels of oil (500 bbls/d/well) and produce on 40 acre spacing with potential recoverable reserves of 4,000,000 barrels of oil from the Lyons Sandstone formation, which is a water drive reservoir. The horizontal Niobrara Cretaceous play has now progressed toward our oil and gas lease with Noble staking horizontal Niobrara locations both to the East and West of our 320 acre lease. Accordingly, we will also stake twenty (20) Niobrara horizontal wells with vertical depth of approximately 8,000 feet with potential recordable oil reserves of 500,000 barrels of oil per horizontal well or a total of additional 10,000,000 barrels of oil. The Colorado State Office of the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) promised to expedite our permit applications, and it is anticipated that drilling will commence in 2014-15. The McKay AB-02-15 is 50-50 within Noble Energy only for the Lyons Formation, yet GADECO has 100% of the rights above it. This well has encountered significant gas reserves in the "J" Sand, significant oil reserves in the "D" Sand, and an attractive potential in the Codell. GADECO has applied to drill in a 61-foot offset to the McKay AB-02-15 Well to be completed vertically in the "J", "D" and the Codell formations hopefully in 2014. Our State Line Prospect, in the Denver Julesburg Basin as presented in Figure 41, where we granted Anadarko Production Company a right to shoot 3-D seismic on GADECO's 1,320-acre Federal oil and gas lease in exchange for us receiving viewing rights to their 3-D seismic data. Anadarko has finished the field work as well as the processing, and the data looks promising. Anadarko started drilling a horizontal Niobrara test well several miles to the North of our location in Wyoming and intends to drill possibly even this year a direct offset to our lease in their section 13 T12N-R66W. Anadarko Production Company has filed applications with the State of Colorado for a 1,372 acre drilling and spacing unit and a 1,3748 acre drilling and spacing unit on ur State Line Prospects, the Company owns the majority interest in these drilling - 11 - EFTA00614901  October 21, 2014 until. We expect to drill initially six (6) horizontal Codell/Niobrara wells to develop this State Line prospect with ultimate recovery of oil reserves of approximately 3,000,000 barrels but ultimately 16 Niobrara horizontal wells with recoverable 8,000,000 barrels of oil. Thus, our two (2) prospects in the Denver Julesburg have a potential of 14,000,000 barrels of recovered oil with additional associated natural gas reserves from the Niobrara. • 1,629 net undeveloped acres at January I, 2014 with permitting and site preparation underway; • Drilling to commence in 2014-15; and • $108 million estimated total expenditures for development drilling activities through 2014. Emerging Prospects Those areas currently included in the "Emerging Prospects" are in both early and advanced stages of the exploration process that takes an idea or concept developed by our geo-technical team and ultimately produces a prospect that is ready to be drilled and comprises a total of 9,617 primary acres and 7,238 secondary acres. Some of our primary "Emerging Prospects" are listed below. Wasatch Plateau. The Wasatch Plateau is located in central Utah. We own leases in one (1) Emerging Prospect, aggregating 960 net acres. Our prospect is a coal bed methane play. We continue to evaluate opportunities in the plateau. Key information about our position in this plateau includes: • 960 net undeveloped acres as of January 1, 2014 next to Chevron-Texaco development activity; and • Drilling expected to commence in 2014-15 based on budget projections and drilling schedule. Hugoton Embayment. The Hugoton Embayment, a northwestern extension of the Anadarko Basin, is located principally in southeastern Colorado, southwestern Kansas, and the Oklahoma panhandle. We own leases in three (3) Emerging Prospects, aggregating approximately 3,000 net acres. Our Emerging Prospects are natural gas plays. Key information about our position in this embayment includes: • 3,432 net undeveloped acres at January 1, 2014 with granite wash oil and natural gas potential in addition to the shallow Topeka formation with natural gas development drilling potential. - 12 - EFTA00614902  October 21, 2014 FIGURE 41: Map of Company and Emerging Prospects Williston Basin Montana ) Noah Dakota: t 14/ t I ' N I, WIC t Sand Wash ‘t, Basin t .„ Nebraska Ulah f • Colorado t — Kansas Denvegulesburs Bahl , • New Mexico _ Hugoton Embayment I Mississippian Salt tar Basin (not shown) Permian Texas Basin The Company's oil and natural gas leases have been acquired over the past 30 years by the Grynberg Family & Affiliates, a prominent and experienced participant in the oil and natural gas industry. The Company's leasehold interests in the 50-plus Company Prospects and 2 Emerging Prospects contain more than 1,800 potential drilling locations using standard well-spacing across the prospects. The Company's Prospects include oil and natural gas leases that are held by production and/or part of Federal Units which the Company has acquired at fair market value and thus have a longer expiration date than comparable non-producing and non-unitized industry properties. Acreage Opportunities Lease Acquisition Strategy GADECO has a continuing process of evaluating available oil and natural gas leases throughout the Rocky Mountains, California and the eastern states and participating in competitive bidding to acquire federal 10-year oil and gas leases for both exploration and development. In addition, GADECO's Land Department is actively pursuing the acquisition of fee (freehold) leases for exploration and development throughout the United States. - 13 - EFTA00614903  October 21, 2014 We also have a special emphasis in acquiring federal, state and fee leases for carbon dioxide natural gas development to be utilized for tertiary recovery of oil from depleted oil fields thus rejuvenating proven producing properties applying low-risk tertiary recovery technology.
