ENDEAVOUR INTERNATIONAL CORP - Endeavour Announces One Day Forbearance Agreement

                 Endeavour Announces One Day Forbearance Agreement with Noteholders

HOUSTON, Oct. 10, 2014 -- Endeavour International Corporation (NYSE: END) (LSE: ENDV) today
announced that the Company and certain of its subsidiaries have entered into extensions of their
forbearance agreements (the "Forbearance Agreements") with holders of a majority of its 12% First
Priority Notes due 2018, 12% Second Priority Notes due 2018 and 6.5% Convertible Senior Notes due
2016 (collectively, the "Notes").

As previously announced by the Company, the Company did not make the September 2, 2014 interest
payments due on the Notes, triggering a 30-day grace period that ended on October 1, 2014. Because
the interest payments were not made during the grace period, an event of default occurred under each
series of Notes. Under the terms of the extended Forbearance Agreements, the noteholders have agreed
to forbear from exercising remedies against the Company arising from such defaults for one additional
day, expiring at 11:59 p.m. on October 10, 2014.

The Company remains engaged in discussions with representatives of certain holders of its various
classes of indebtedness, including the holders of Notes, regarding a debt restructuring plan that would be
effected by the Company pursuant to a chapter 11 filing. No assurances can be given, however, that such
discussions will result in an agreement for a debt restructuring plan.
