RAM’s Strategy Follow a balanced risk strategy aimed at enhancing stockholder value by increasing net asset value, net reserves and cash flow per share through acquisitions, development, exploitation and exploration Fund non-acquisition capital programs with operating cash flow Hedge to ensure predictable cash flow Concentrate on existing core areas of Texas, Oklahoma and Louisiana – geographically focused Develop and exploit existing oil and natural gas properties – deep inventory of project locations a source of growth Complete selective acquisitions and divestitures Maintain an emphasis on exploration activity to build new opportunities 3

Target – sustain value while focusing on opportunity in current environment Large inventory of low risk opportunities capable of rapid returns Stable cash flow base supported by substantial inventory of projects in “mature fields” High degree of operating control and “held by production” properties; absence of significant term lease issues Proven value creation through both acquisitions and drillbit Attractive valuation; current stock price is 1.8X annualized 1H09 free cash flow (1) Management’s substantial ownership of RAM stock supports alignment with shareholder interest Nearly 20 years history as a successful private entity prior to becoming a public company in 2006 Summary of Investment Considerations (1)Based on share price at 9/21/09 16

27 Reconciliation of EBITDA & Free Cash Flow Non-GAAP Financial Measures EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, is determined by adding the following to net income (loss): interest expense, capitalized PIK interest, amortized deferred loan costs, income taxes, depreciation, amortization, accretion, share based compensation, impairment charges, unrealized gains or losses on derivatives and MTM settlement charges. Free cash flow is also a non-GAAP measure representing EBITDA after adjustments for the cash portion of interest and income taxes. Adjusted net income is a non-GAAP measure which excludes the income tax affected impact of unrealized derivative gains or losses, MTM settlement charges and impairment charges on GAAP income. These non-GAAP measures are presented because management believes it is a useful adjunct to cash provided by operating activities under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP). These non-GAAP measures are widely accepted as financial indicators of an oil and gas company’s ability to generate cash used to internally fund exploration and development activities and fund debt service costs. These non-GAAP measures are not a measure of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to cash provided (used) by operating, investing, or financing activities as an indicator of cash flows, or as a measure of liquidity.
