and promises to pay to Lender or its order, in legal tender of the United States of America, the Obligations (as defined below)
of MESA ENERGY, INC. (“Borrower”) to Lender on the terms and conditions set forth in this Guaranty. Under this
Guaranty, the liability of Guarantor is unlimited and the obligations of Guarantor are continuing.

(5)Any and all extensions
and renewals of or substitutes for any of the foregoing indebtedness, obligations, and liabilities or any part thereof.


 


(e)“Revolving Note” means the
revolving promissory note dated September 21, 2012, in the principal amount of $25,000,000.00, payable by Borrower to the order

2.NATURE OF GUARANTY. This
is a guaranty of payment and not of collection. Guarantor’s liability under this Guaranty shall be open and continuous for
so long as this Guaranty remains in force. Guarantor intends to guarantee at all times the performance and prompt payment when
due, whether at maturity or earlier by reason of acceleration or otherwise, of all Obligations. Accordingly, no payments made upon
the Obligations will discharge or diminish the continuing liability of Guarantor in connection with any remaining portions of the
Obligations or any of the Obligations which subsequently arises or is thereafter incurred or contracted.


 


3.DURATION OF GUARANTY.
This Guaranty will take effect when received by Lender without the necessity of any acceptance by Lender, or any notice to Guarantor
or to Borrower, and will continue in full force until all Obligations incurred, committed, or contracted before receipt by Lender
of any notice of revocation shall have been fully and finally paid and satisfied and all other obligations of Guarantor under this
Guaranty shall have been performed in full. If Guarantor elects to revoke this Guaranty, Guarantor may only do so in writing. Guarantor’s
written notice of revocation must be delivered to Lender at the address of Lender listed below or such other place as Lender may
designate in writing. This Guaranty may be revoked only with respect to the Obligations incurred or contracted by Borrower, or
acquired or committed to by Lender after the date on which written notice of revocation is actually received by Lender. No notice
of revocation hereof shall be effective as to any Obligations: (a) existing at the date of receipt of such notice; (b) incurred
or contracted by Borrower, or acquired or committed to by Lender, prior to receipt of such notice; (c) now existing or hereafter
created pursuant to or evidenced by the Loan Agreement or a commitment in existence prior to receipt of such notice under which
Borrower is or may become obligated to Lender; or (d) renewals, extensions, consolidations, substitutions, and refinancings of
the foregoing. Guarantor waives notice of revocation given by any other guarantor of the Obligations. If Guarantor is an individual,
this Guaranty shall bind the estate of Guarantor as to Obligations created both before and after the death or incapacity of Guarantor,
regardless of Lender’s actual notice of Guarantor’s death or incapacity. Subject to the foregoing, Guarantor’s
executor or administrator or other legal representative may revoke this Guaranty in the same manner in which Guarantor might have
revoked it and with the same effect. Release of any other guarantor of the Obligations, or termination or revocation of any other
guaranty of the Obligations, shall not affect the liability of Guarantor under this Guaranty. Notwithstanding any provision to
the contrary, it shall be an Event of Default under the Loan Agreement if Guarantor revokes, or disputes the validity of or liability
under, this Guaranty or any of the Loan Documents. It is anticipated that fluctuations may occur in the aggregate amount of the
Obligations covered by this Guaranty, and it is specifically acknowledged and agreed by Guarantor that reductions in the amount
of the Obligations, even to zero dollars shall not constitute a termination of this Guaranty.

extend additional credit to Borrower; (b) to alter, compromise, renew, extend, accelerate, or otherwise change one or more times
the time for payment or other terms of the Obligations or any part of the Obligations, including increases and decreases of the
rate of interest on the Obligations; extensions may be repeated and may be for longer than the original loan term; (c) to take
and hold security for the payment of this Guaranty or the Obligations, and exchange, enforce, waive, fail or decide not to perfect,
and release any such security, with or without the substitution of new collateral; (d) to release, substitute, agree not to sue,

6.WAIVERS. (a) General
Waivers. Guarantor waives any right to require Lender (i) to continue lending money or to extend other credit to
Borrower; (ii) to make any presentment, protest, demand, or notice of any kind, including notice of any nonpayment of the
Obligations or of any nonpayment related to any collateral, or notice of any action or non-action on the part of Borrower,
Lender, any surety, endorser, or other guarantor in connection with the Obligations or in connection with the creation of new
or additional loans or obligations; (iii) to notify Guarantor of any change in the manner, place, time, or terms of payment
of any of the Obligations (including, without limitation, any renewal, extension, or other modification of any of the
Obligations); or (iv) to notify Guarantor of any change in the interest rate accruing on any of the Obligations (including,
without limitation, any periodic change in such interest rate that occurs because such Obligations accrue interest at a
variable rate which may fluctuate from time to time). Should Lender seek to enforce the obligations of Guarantor hereunder,
Guarantor waives any right to require Lender to first (i) resort for payment or to proceed directly or at once against any
person, including Borrower or any other guarantor of the Obligations; (ii) to proceed directly against, marshal, enforce, or
exhaust any collateral held by Lender from Borrower, Guarantor, any other guarantor, or any other person; or (iii) to pursue
any other remedy within Lender’s power.


 


(b)Waiver of
Defenses. Guarantor waives all rights of Guarantor under, or the requirements imposed by, Chapter 43 of the Texas Civil
Practice and Remedies Code. Guarantor also waives any and all rights or defenses arising by reason of (i) any election of
remedies by Lender which destroys or otherwise adversely affects Guarantor’s subrogation rights or Guarantor’s
rights to proceed against Borrower for reimbursement, including without limitation, any loss of rights Guarantor may suffer
by reason of any law limiting, qualifying, or discharging the Obligations; (ii) any disability or other defense of Borrower,
of any other guarantor, or of any other person, or by reason of the cessation of Borrower’s liability from any cause
whatsoever, other than payment in full in legal tender of the Obligations; (iii) any right to claim discharge of the
Obligations on the basis of unjustified impairment of any collateral for the Obligations; or (iv) any defenses given to
guarantors at law or in equity other than actual payment and performance of the Obligations. This Guaranty shall continue to
be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment of all or any part of the Obligations is
rescinded or must otherwise be returned by Lender upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, or reorganization of Borrower, Guarantor,
any other guarantor of all or any part of the Obligations, or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made.


 


(c)Waiver of Claims.
Guarantor further waives and agrees not to assert or claim at any time any deductions to the amount guaranteed under this Guaranty
for any claim of set off, counterclaim, counter demand, recoupment, or similar right, whether such claim, demand, or right may
be asserted by Borrower, Guarantor, or both. In addition to any other waivers, agreements, and covenants of Guarantor set forth
herein, Guarantor hereby further waives and releases all claims, causes of action, defenses, and offsets for any act or omission
of Lender, its directors, officers, employees, representatives, or agents in connection with Lender’s administration of the
Obligations, except for Lender’s willful misconduct and gross negligence.


 


(d)Waiver of Subrogation.
Notwithstanding any provision in this Guaranty to the contrary, Guarantor hereby waives and releases (i) any and all rights of
subrogation, reimbursement, indemnification, or contribution which it may have after payment in full or in part of the Obligations
against others liable on any of the Obligations, (ii) any and all rights to be subrogated to the rights of Lender in any collateral
or security for any of the Obligations after payment in full or in part of the Obligations, and (iii) any and all other rights
and claims of Guarantor against Borrower or any third party as a result of Guarantor’s payment of any Obligations.


 


(e)Waivers Binding.
Guarantor warrants and agrees that each of the waivers set forth above is made with Guarantor’s full knowledge of its significance
and consequences and that, under the circumstances, the waivers are reasonable and not contrary to public policy or law. If any
such waiver is determined to be contrary to any applicable law or public policy, such waiver shall be effective only to the extent
permitted by law or public policy.

7.PAYMENT BY GUARANTOR.
In the event of a default in the payment or performance of all or any part of the Obligations when such Obligations become due,
whether by its terms, by acceleration, or otherwise, Guarantor shall, without notice or demand, promptly pay the amount due thereon
to Lender, in lawful money of the United States. The exercise by Lender of any right or remedy under this Guaranty or under any
other agreement or instrument, at law, in equity or otherwise, shall not preclude concurrent or subsequent exercise of any other
right or remedy. Whenever Guarantor pays any sum which is or may become due under this Guaranty, written notice must be delivered
to Lender contemporaneously with such payment. In the absence of such notice to Lender by Guarantor, any sum received by Lender
on account of the Obligations shall be conclusively deemed paid by


Borrower.


 


8.MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS.
(a) Amendments. This Guaranty, together with any Loan Documents, constitutes the entire understanding and agreement of
the parties as to the matters set forth in this Guaranty and supersedes all prior written and oral agreements and understandings,
if any, regarding same. No alteration of or amendment to this Guaranty shall be effective unless given in writing and signed by
the party or parties sought to be charged or bound by the alteration or amendment.


 


(b)Applicable Law.
This Guaranty has been delivered to Lender and is performable in Dallas County, Texas. Courts within the State of Texas have jurisdiction
over any dispute arising under or pertaining to this Guaranty, and venue for such dispute shall be in Dallas County, Texas. THIS
GUARANTY SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF TEXAS AND APPLICABLE FEDERAL LAWS.


 


(c)Costs and Expenses.
Guarantor shall also pay on demand by Lender all costs and expenses, including, without limitation, all reasonable attorneys fees,
incurred by Lender in connection with the enforcement or collection of this Guaranty and with the collection or sale of any collateral
securing this Guaranty. This covenant shall survive the payment of the Obligations.


 


(d)Notice. All notices
required to be given by either party to the other under this Guaranty shall be in writing and, except for revocation notices by
Guarantor, shall be effective when actually delivered or when deposited with a nationally recognized overnight courier, or when
deposited in the United States mail, first class postage prepaid, addressed to the party to whom the notice is to be given at
the address shown below or to such other addresses as either party may designate to the other in writing. All revocation notices
by Guarantor shall be in writing and shall be effective only upon delivery to Lender as provided above in the section titled “DURATION
OF GUARANTY.” For notice purposes, Guarantor agrees to keep Lender informed at all times of Guarantor’s current address.
In the event that Guarantor is entitled to receive any notice under the Uniform Commercial Code, as it exists in the state governing
any such notice, of the sale or other disposition of any collateral securing all or any part of the Obligations or this Guaranty,
reasonable notice shall be deemed given when such notice is given pursuant to the terms of this Subsection ten (10) days prior
to the date any public sale, or after which any private sale, of any such collateral is to be held.


 


(e)Interpretation.
In all cases where there is more than one Borrower, then all words used in this Guaranty in the singular shall be deemed to have
been used in the plural where the context and construction so require; and where there is more than one Borrower named in this
Guaranty, the word “Borrower” shall mean all and any one or more of them. This Guaranty is for the benefit of Lender,
its successors and assigns. This Guaranty is binding upon Guarantor and Guarantors’s heirs, executors, administrators, personal
representatives, and successors. Caption headings in this Guaranty are for convenience purposes only and are not to be used to
interpret or define the provisions of this Guaranty. If a court of competent jurisdiction finds any provision of this Guaranty
to be invalid or unenforceable as to any person or circumstance, such finding shall not render that provision invalid or unenforceable
as to any other persons or circumstances, and all provisions of this Guaranty in all other respects shall remain valid and enforceable.
If any one or more of Borrower or Guarantor are corporations, limited liability companies, or partnerships, it is not necessary
for Lender to inquire into the powers of Borrower or Guarantor or of the officers, directors, managers, members, partners, or
agents acting or purporting to act on their behalf, and any Obligations made or created in reliance upon the professed exercise
of such powers shall be guaranteed under this Guaranty.

(f)Waiver. Lender shall
not be deemed to have waived any rights under this Guaranty unless such waiver is given in writing and signed by Lender, and then
only in the specific instance and for the purpose given. No delay or omission on the part of Lender in exercising any right shall
operate as a waiver of such right or any other right. A waiver by Lender of a provision of this Guaranty shall not prejudice or
constitute a waiver of Lender’s right to thereafter demand strict compliance with that provision or any other provision of
this Guaranty. No prior waiver by Lender, nor any course of dealing between Lender and Guarantor, shall constitute a waiver of
any of Lender’s rights or of any of Guarantor’s obligations as to any future transactions. Whenever the consent of
Lender is required under this Guaranty, the granting of such consent by Lender in any instance shall not constitute continuing
consent to subsequent instances where such consent is required, and in all cases such consent may be granted or withheld in the
sole discretion of Lender.


 


EACH UNDERSIGNED GUARANTOR ACKNOWLEDGES HAVING
READ ALL THE PROVISIONS OF THIS GUARANTY AND AGREES TO ITS TERMS. IN ADDITION, EACH GUARANTOR UNDERSTANDS THAT THIS GUARANTY IS

IN THE MANNER SET FORTH IN THE SECTION TITLED “DURATION OF GUARANTY”. NO FORMAL ACCEPTANCE BY LENDER IS NECESSARY TO
MAKE THIS GUARANTY EFFECTIVE.
