Explanation of Responses:

1. The Reporting Person owns 23,000 shares of common stock, par value 0.0001 per share ("Common Stock") of Resolute Energy Corporation (the "Issuer"), acquired in connection with an in-kind distribution without consideration from HH-HACI, L.P. to its partners based on each partner's pro rata share of vested interests.

2. The Reporting Person owns 9,325 Earnout Shares (defined below) acquired in connection with an in-kind distribution without consideration from HH-HACI, L.P. to its partners based on each partner's pro rata share of vested interests. Earnout Shares are Common Stock subject to forfeiture, unless at any time prior to five years from the closing of the acquisition (the "Acquisition") according to the Purchase and IPO Reorganization Agreement, dated as of August 2, 2009, as amended (filed with the Issuer's Form S-4/A on September 14, 2009), either (a) the closing sale price of Common Stock exceeds $15.00 per share for 20 trading days in any 30 trading day period beginning 90 days after the closing of the Acquisition or (b) a change in control event occurs in which Common Stock is valued at greater than $15.00 per share.

3. The Reporting Person owns 45,999 Founder's Warrants (defined below), acquired in connection with an in-kind distribution without consideration from HH-HACI, L.P. to its partners based on each partner's pro rata share of vested interests. Each Founder's Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of Common Stock at a price of $13.00/share, subject to adjustment, commencing any time after the last sale price of Common Stock exceeds $13.75 for any 20 days within any 30 day trading period beginning 90 days after the closing of the Acquisition and shall end 5 years from the closing of the Acquisition. However, Founder's Warrants will be exercisable only if a registration statement relating to the Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants is effective and current.
