Effective Date: January 1, 2014
276 Bcfe (46 MMBoe) proved reserves (100% PDP)
83% natural gas, 15% NGL, 2% oil
63 MMcfe/d (10.5 MBoe/d) Q3E 2014 production
12.0 R/P ratio
Wells Fargo, our Admin Agent, has committed to a portion of, and is seeking lender approval for, a $950 million borrowing base, which is expected by May 22nd

Investment Rationale of Pending Acquisition
5
Strategic Alliance
High Quality MLP Assets
Increased Scale and Diversification
Attractive Economics
WPX is a world-class Rockies operator with a deep inventory of MLP-friendly assetsUnmatched experience, infrastructure, and economics in the Piceance Basin
IDRs incentivize both parties to make future transactions WPX can vest in up to an additional 20% of the IDRs by dropping more assets into LGCY
Enhanced acquisition platform – this transaction, including the newly-established IDRs, creates a template for future deals with 3rd parties
Low decline, 100% PDP assets in the heart of the Piceance Basin 10% avg. annual PDP terminal decline rate(1), excluding escalating working interest Escalating working interest holds production roughly flat over the next few years
2,730 producing wells with an average age of 9.1 years mitigate risks (predictable production curves, minimal single well risk) Low estimated lifting costs ($1.22 / Mcfe)(2)
Adds 46 MMBoe of internally estimated proved reserves and 10.5 MBoe/d of estimated Q3 2014 production, increases of over 50%
Scale enhances credit profile and earnings potential Pro forma 54% liquids balances LGCY’s commodity mix and expands optionality in current commodity price environment
Drives immediate and long-term accretion to unitholdersLow production decline and increasing working interest structure minimize maintenance capital expenditure requirementsFlatter NYMEX gas curve and 100% PDP content allow for increased “hedgability”
(1) 3-year average from 2017 – 2019(2) Based on Q3E 2014 inclusive of COPAS, gathering, compression, and infrastructure charges

Strategic Alliance & IDR Overview
6
LGCY Objectives:
Provide long-term economic incentive for future transactions between the parties
WPX initially receives and vests in 10% of newly-created IDRs as part of the consideration for initial transaction
WPX can vest in up to an additional 20% through future drop-downs into LGCY
Allow for future alliances with other third-parties using established IDRs as consideration
Utilize well-known economic parameters of IDRs
0% / 13% / 23% IDR excess cash “splits”, similar to most upstream MLP IDR structures
IDRs will not be eligible to receive distributions until the quarterly distribution per LP unit increases above $0.6785
Maintain historical alignment of interest between Management, GP, and LPs
Management and GP will not own IDRs (70% of IDRs remain in treasury at closing)
Insiders own 18% of outstanding LP units
Current LP voting rights remain intact
Maintain LGCY’s competitive cost of capital to support long-term growth
Reset provision allows issuance of LP Unit Equivalent along with reset of IDR splits
In certain circumstances, IDRs can be converted with no further incentive participation

Updated 2014 Financial Guidance Disclaimer
12
The table on the preceding slide sets forth certain assumptions being used by LGCY to estimateits anticipated results of operations for 2014. Outside of the Pending Acquisition and Bolt-OnAcquisitions referenced herein, these estimates do not include any future acquisitions ofadditional oil or natural gas properties. In addition, these estimates are based on, among otherthings, assumptions of capital expenditure levels, current indications of supply and demand foroil and natural gas and current operating and labor costs. This guidance does not constitute anyform of guarantee, assurance or promise that the matters indicated will actually be achieved. Theguidance below sets forth management's best estimate based on current and anticipated marketconditions and other factors. While we believe that these estimates and assumptions arereasonable, they are inherently uncertain and are subject to, among other things, significantbusiness, economic, regulatory, environmental and competitive risks and uncertainties that couldcause actual results to differ materially from those we anticipate, as set forth under "Forward-Looking Statements."
