Page 22 of 56

For the first half of 2013, Anderson estimates its capital program to approximate cash flows, dedicated exclusively to its Cardium horizontal drilling program. After spring break up, the Company will revisit its 2013 capital program.

The available lending limits under the bank facilities are reviewed twice a year and are based on the bank syndicate's interpretation of the Company's reserves and future commodity prices. The last review was conducted on December 15, 2012. The revolving term credit facility and the working capital credit facility have a maturity date of July 10, 2013, and all outstanding advances become repayable on July 10, 2013. There can be no assurance that the amount of the available bank lines will not be adjusted at the next scheduled review to be completed prior to May 15, 2013.
