On December 12, 2016, Esquisto Holdings, LLC ("Esquisto Holdings") and WHE AcqCo Holdings, LLC ("Acquisition Co.

Holdings, contributed their membership interest in certain entities to the Issuer in exchange for shares of the Issuer's common stock, par value $0.01 per share ("Common Stock").

2. (Continued from Footnote 1) Pursuant to the Master Contribution Agreement, Esquisto Holdings and Acquisition Co.

Further, NGP XI US Holdings owns 100% of the capital interests in Acquisition Co. Holdings. As a result, NGP XI US Holdings may be deemed to indirectly beneficially own the shares held by each of Esquisto Holdings and Acquisition Co. Holdings.

3. (Continued from Footnote 2) NGP XI Holdings GP (the sole general partner of NGP XI US Holdings), NGP Natural Resources XI (the sole member of NGP XI Holdings GP), G.F.W. Energy XI (the sole general partner of NGP Natural Resources XI) and GFW XI (the sole general partner of GFW Energy XI) may each be deemed to share voting and dispositive power over the reported shares and therefore may also be deemed to be the beneficial owner of these shares. GFW XI has delegated full power and authority to manage NGP XI US Holdings to NGP ECM and accordingly, NGP ECM may be deemed to share voting and dispositive power over these shares and therefore may also be deemed to be the beneficial owner of these shares. Each of NGP XI Holdings GP, NGP Natural Resources XI, GFW Energy XI, GFW XI and NGP ECM disclaims beneficial ownership of the reported securities in excess of its pecuniary interest therein.

4. On December 19, 2016, Esquisto Holdings and Acquisition Co.

As a result, the parties thereto may be deemed to be members of a group holding over 10% of the outstanding Common Stock of the Issuer (the "Group") for the purposes of Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act").

5. NGP XI US Holdings disclaims beneficial ownership of the shares of Common Stock held by the members of the Group, except to the extent of its pecuniary interest therein, and this statement shall not be construed as an admission that NGP XI US Holdings is the beneficial owner of any such shares for purposes of Section 16 of the Exchange Act or for any other purpose.
