Your confidence in the Company is important to us and we take our role as stewards of your capital very seriously. The NGS team works hard to consider the impact of shareholder value on every decision we make. </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:9pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:9pt;">Certainly, the past several months have been challenging for our industry and our business. The growth in global energy supply and the resulting decline in hydrocarbon prices has impacted oilfield activity across North America. NGS hasn&#8217;t been immune from the slowdown as we discussed in our recent conference call and in meetings and investor presentations with many of you. </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:9pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:9pt;">That said, your company is working hard to preserve value, focus our business on opportunities  and constantly remind ourselves that everything we do is with the goal of creating shareholder value. We believe there will be opportunities to grow our business as the cycle improves and I am confident we have the team to execute on those prospects when the time comes. </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:9pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:9pt;">As you know, we recently filed our Annual Proxy Statement ahead of the Company&#8217;s annual meeting to be held on June 18, 2015. In that Proxy we outline a number of important action items including our Board of Directors standing for re-election and our independent auditors which we ask you to ratify for another year of service. </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:9pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:9pt;">We also use a great deal of ink to describe our executive compensation program and policies and ask that you vote in favor of that plan. </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:9pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:9pt;">While we understand the role that proxy advisory firms play in the governance process, your Board of Directors and Compensation Committee believe that the analysis of these advisory firms is incorrect and based on erroneous data.

In addition, on both a relative and absolute basis performance (both annualized and aggregate) over the three- and five-year time period was near the top of both peer groups. In fact, ISS&#8217;s own analysis indicates that, on a relative basis, the alignment of pay and performance for NGS is clearly within the acceptable range (see ISS Proxy Services, June 5, 2015, page 12). </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">While your analysis of &#8220;absolute alignment&#8221; suggests NGS executive compensation may be higher than your optimal target based on performance for 2014, nearly every company in both peer groups faces the same misalignment given the cyclical nature of the energy business and the rapid deceleration in activity during the second-half of 2014. </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">In fact, this is a conundrum of any company looking to retain high-performance executives in a cyclical business. Historically, compensation at the trough of a cycle may temporarily decouple from TSR just as it will (inversely) at the peak acceleration of a cycle. Trying to precisely link pay and TSR in a highly cyclical business would certainly lead to wild swings in compensation levels and not provide the appropriate incentives to retain quality leaders. </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">In addition, the decision by ISS to view the pay-performance link in a rigid, one-year time frame is myopic, failing to recognize the reality that the Chief Executive Officer will likely be required to exhibit greater levels of effort and generate more opportunities for success in the trough of a cycle than in periods of acceleration. To suggest leadership should not be rewarded for relative success in the most difficult of operating environments is shortsighted and void of any long-term strategic acumen.  </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">As a result, the NGS Compensation Committee believes it is more relevant to look at multi-year results and trends. For example, if you take the five-year average of the ISS calculated annual &#8220;Indexed TSR&#8221; (See ISS Proxy Advisory Services, June 5, 2015, page 12), the result is &#8220;Absolute Alignment&#8221; well within a reasonable range for the Company.  </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">The ISS analysis also suggests that the NGS choice of its peer group relies on &#8220;above median benchmarking and outsized peers&#8221; which results in an unnecessary decoupling of pay and performance. </font><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;">(ISS Proxy Advisory Services, June 5, 2015, page 16).  </font><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">However, a review of both the Company peer group and that of ISS suggests the Company&#8217;s peer group is much more representative of NGS than is that referenced by ISS.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">In comparison, the NGS market cap (~$300 million) is approximately 68% of the median market cap (~$440 million) of the Company peer group; however, the NGS market cap is more than double the median market cap of the ISS referenced peer group (~$126 million). </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">Moreover, the ISS peer group contains a disparate set of companies that has little relevance to the Company&#8217;s business.

However, you fail to acknowledge the clawback provisions contained in Section 13.10 of Mr. Taylor&#8217;s contract executed on October 23, 2013 and cited in your analysis elsewhere. As such, your claim regarding the lack of a clawback provision for NEOs of the company is erroneous. </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">Finally, your recent report suggests that the increases in Mr. Taylor&#8217;s base compensation and long-term stock compensation are excessive. However, a review of the report suggests your data analysis is incorrect. As noted on page 20 of the NGS 2014 Proxy Statement, the Compensation Committee adjusted Mr. Taylor&#8217;s 2014 base salary to $505,175 from $459,250 in 2013, an increase of 10%.

Combined with, as noted previously, the timing of your report which limits the Company&#8217;s ability to respond to your concerns and engage in constructive discussions about your misinterpretations of our policies, your erroneous analysis leaves us with little choice but to correct the ISS errors and inappropriate ratings and recommendations through formal, public proxy materials. </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">We believe the Compensation Committee has taken into account all relevant factors, used its best efforts to determine the correct balance between base and incentive pay and examined relevant performance metrics to connect long-term incentives to performance.

We find that in general, companies that receive significant opposition to its pay program at least provide some level of disclosure regarding the measures taken to respond to shareholder feedback.

Moreover, NGS has been responsive to critical analysis of our executive compensation program, including amending the Chief Executives Officer&#8217;s contract in response to criticism regarding the vesting process upon a change of control. </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">In fact, our shareholder engagement began even before our last annual meeting, held in May, 2014, where we actively responded to another advisory firm&#8217;s analysis which recommended a vote against last year&#8217;s executive compensation plan. That shareholder outreach resulted in support from a wide majority of shareholders, notwithstanding such opposition to the Company&#8217;s 2013 compensation plan. </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">I would suggest that the Company&#8217;s interaction with its shareholders through officers and directors is as comprehensive as any company in our peer group. In 2014, we conducted over 200 in-person and telephonic meetings with a wide range of NGS shareholders. Moreover, we met with our 20 largest shareholders, on average, more than two times each during 2014. While such conversations involved discussions across a broad range of topics, we always engage in dialogue regarding the operational and financial management of the Company which typically includes a discussion regarding executive compensation. </font></div><br><div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div></div><hr style="page-break-after:always"><a name="s7f132f3356584379827d77c585cad928"></a><div><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div></div><br><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">The consensus from discussions with our stakeholders suggests that the vast majority support our Board of Directors and Compensation Committee in their stewardship roles on their behalf. As for measuring responsiveness, the Directors of NGS proactively addressed the only substantive issue raised by any advisory service in the past year by amending Mr. Taylor&#8217;s contract. </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">We pledge to you that we will continue to lead our peer group and industry in shareholder interaction. Already in 2015 we have engaged nearly all of our twenty largest shareholders in direct conversation and will continue to do so throughout the year. Moreover, at the suggestion of Glass Lewis and your peers we will be more proactive in describing such engagement in future proxies. </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="font-family:Times New Roman; font-size:10pt;"><tr><td style="width:72px;"></td><td></td></tr><tr><td style="vertical-align:top"><div style="line-height:120%;font-size:10pt;padding-left:24px;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">III.</font></div></td><td style="vertical-align:top;"><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;font-weight:bold;">Other Compensation Concerns</font></div></td></tr></table><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">The Glass Lewis analysis also raises issues regarding stock-based compensation including award criteria, vesting schedules, clawback policies, and minimum ownership requirements. These issues relate to what you refer to as &#8220;poor overall design&#8221; of our executive compensation plan (Glass Lewis Proxy Paper, June 5, 2015, page 1). </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">For example, your recent report (Glass Lewis Proxy Paper, June 5, 2015, page 10) indicates that NGS does not disclose a &#8220;Comprehensive Recoupment Policy&#8221;. While the issue is not addressed directly in our proxy, clawback provisions are contained in Section 13.10 of Mr. Taylor&#8217;s contract executed on October 23, 2013. The other concerns you raise are issues that the Company&#8217;s Board have considered and will continue to consider and seek feedback from our shareholders in the coming months. </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">We also note that your report appears to be inconsistent on the matter of the vesting process should a change of control occur. While you note on page 10 of your report that Mr. Taylor&#8217;s contract was amended on April 24, 2015, to provide for a &#8220;double trigger&#8221; mechanism related to the vesting of Mr. Taylor&#8217;s stock holdings, it appears you reference the presence of a single trigger on pages 3 and 9. To be clear, the Company has amended Mr. Taylor&#8217;s contract to provide for a double-trigger vesting mechanism upon a change of control. Such a change was made after engagement of the Company&#8217;s shareholders. </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">&#160;</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">We believe the Compensation Committee has taken into account all relevant factors, used its best efforts to determine the correct balance between base and incentive pay and examined relevant performance metrics to connect long-term incentives to performance. Moreover, we have carefully examined peer group compensation practices and worked hard to continually incorporate best practices into NGS compensation programs and policies. That said, in the coming year, we will continue to review our policies and practices, including engaging our stakeholders in the process, in an attempt to incorporate evolving best practices for executive compensation. </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">The NGS Compensation Committee believes its compensation policy has created an environment which incentivizes our leadership team to create a high-performance organization which, in turn, provides industry-leading returns for our shareholders.  </font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="font-family:Times New Roman;
