Investment Rationale of Pending Acquisition Strategic Alliance High Quality MLP Assets Increased Scale and Diversification WPX is a world-class Rockies operator with a deep inventory of MLP-friendly assets Unmatched 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 3 rd 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 Attractive Economics Drives immediate and long-term accretion to unitholders Low production decline and increasing working interest structure minimize maintenance capital expenditure requirements Flatter 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 5
Strategic Alliance & IDR Overview 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 6

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