 (b) the individuals who, as of June 15, 2003, constitute the board of directors (the “Incumbent Board”) cease for
any reason to constitute at least a majority of the board of directors. Any individual becoming a director subsequent to the date hereof whose election, or nomination for election by the Company’s shareholders, is approved by a vote of at least
a majority of the directors then comprising the Incumbent Board will be considered a member of the Incumbent Board as of the date hereof, but any such individual whose initial assumption of office occurs as a result of an actual or threatened

reorganization, merger, consolidation or sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company (a “Business Combination”), unless following such Business Combination: (i) all or substantially all of the
individuals and entities who were the beneficial owners, respectively, of the Outstanding Company Common Stock and Outstanding Company Voting Securities immediately prior to such Business Combination beneficially own, directly or indirectly, more
than sixty percent (60%) of, respectively, the then outstanding shares of common stock and the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, as the case may be, of the
corporation resulting from such Business Combination (including, without limitation, a corporation which as a result of such transaction owns the Company or all or substantially all of the Company’s assets either directly or 
  

 4 








 
through one or more subsidiaries) in substantially the same proportions as their ownership, immediately prior to such Business Combination of the Outstanding
Company Common Stock and Outstanding Company Voting Securities, as the case may be, (ii) no Person (excluding any corporation resulting from such Business Combination or any employee benefit plan (or related trust) of the Company or such corporation
resulting from such Business Combination) beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, twenty percent (20%) or more of, respectively, the then outstanding shares of common stock of the corporation resulting from such Business Combination or the
combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities of such corporation except to the extent that such ownership existed prior to the Business Combination and (iii) at least a majority of the members of the board of directors of the
corporation resulting from such Business Combination were members of the Incumbent Board at the time of the execution of the initial agreement, or of the action of the Board, providing for such Business Combination; or,

three (3) months commencing on July 1, 2003, and ending on September 30, 2006 (the “Expiration Date”). 
  
 6. Termination. This Agreement will continue in effect until the expiration of the term stated at paragraph 5 of this Agreement unless earlier terminated pursuant
to this paragraph 6.

Base Salary for a period of one hundred eighty (180) days; (b) any benefits payable by operation of paragraph 4.4 of this Agreement; and (c) any vacation pay

days remaining in the one year period after any change of control payment under paragraph 4.5 of this Agreement. 


  

	 	6.1.2	 	Termination for Cause. The Company may terminate this Agreement for cause if the Executive: (a) misappropriates the property of the Company or commits any other act of
dishonesty; (b) engages in personal misconduct which materially injures the Company; (c) willfully violates any law or regulation relating to the business of the Company which results in injury to the Company; or (d) willfully and repeatedly fails
to perform the Executive’s duties hereunder. In the event this Agreement is terminated for cause, the Company will not have any obligation to provide any further payments or benefits to the Executive after the Termination Date.


  

	 	6.2	 	Termination by Executive. The Executive may voluntarily terminate this Agreement with or without cause by the service of written notice of such termination to the Company

without limitation, any obligation of the Company to provide any further payments or benefits to the Executive after the Termination Date. 

  

	 	6.3	 	Incapacity of Executive. If the Executive suffers from a physical or mental condition which in the reasonable judgment of the Company’s management prevents the Executive
in whole or in part from performing the duties specified herein for a period of three (3) consecutive months, the Executive may be terminated. Although the termination may be deemed as a termination for cause, any compensation payable under
paragraph 4 of this Agreement will be continued for one hundred eighty (180) days following the Termination Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Executive’s Base Salary specified in paragraph 4.1 of this Agreement will be reduced by any
benefits payable under any disability plans provided by the Company under paragraph 4.4. The right to the compensation due under this paragraph 6.3 is subject to the execution by the Executive or the Executive’s legal representative of the
Company’s standard termination agreement releasing all legally waivable claims against the Company. 

  

 6 









	 	6.4	 	Death of Executive. If the Executive dies during the term of this Agreement, the Company may thereafter terminate this Agreement without compensation to the Executive’s
estate except: (a) the obligation to continue the Base Salary payments under paragraph 4.1 of this Agreement for one (1) year following the date of the Executive’s death; and (b) the benefits described in paragraph 4.4 of this Agreement accrued

	 	6.5	 	Effect of Termination. The termination of this Agreement will terminate all obligations of the Executive to render services on behalf of the Company from and after the
Termination Date, provided that the Executive will maintain the confidentiality of all information acquired by the Executive during the term of Executive’s employment in accordance with paragraph 7 of this Agreement. Except as otherwise
provided in paragraph 6 of this Agreement, no accrued bonus, severance pay or other form of compensation will be payable by the Company to the Executive by reason of the termination of this Agreement. All keys, entry cards, credit cards, files,
records, financial information, furniture, furnishings, equipment, supplies and other items relating to the Company in the Executive’s possession will remain the property of the Company. The Executive will have the right to retain and remove
all personal property and effects which are owned by the Executive and located in the offices of the Company. All such personal items will be removed from such offices no later than two (2) days after the Termination Date, and the Company is hereby
authorized to discard any items remaining and to reassign the Executive’s office space after such date. Prior to the Termination Date, the Executive will render such services to the Company as might be reasonably required to provide for the
orderly termination of the Executive’s employment. Notwithstanding the foregoing and without discharging any obligations to pay compensation to the Executive under this Agreement, after notice of the Termination, the Company may request that
the Executive not provide any other services to the Company and not enter the Company’s premises before or after the Termination Date. 

  
 7. Confidentiality. The Executive recognizes that the nature of the Executive’s services are such that the Executive will have access to information which
constitutes trade secrets, is of a confidential nature, is of great value to the Company or is the foundation on which the business of the Company is predicated. The Executive agrees not to disclose to any person other than the Company’s
employees or the Company’s legal counsel nor use for any purpose, other than the performance of this Agreement, any confidential information (“Confidential Information”). Confidential Information includes data or material (regardless
of form) which is: (a) a trade secret; (b) provided, disclosed or delivered to Executive by the Company, any officer, director, employee, agent,

attorney, accountant, consultant, or other person or entity employed by the Company in any capacity, any customer, borrower or business associate of the
Company or any public authority having jurisdiction over the Company of any business activity conducted by the Company; or (c) produced, developed, obtained or prepared by or on behalf of Executive or the Company (whether or not such information was
developed in the performance of this Agreement) with respect to the Company or any assets oil and gas prospects, business activities, officers, directors, employees, borrowers or customers of the foregoing. However, Confidential Information shall
not include any information, data or material which at the time of disclosure or use was generally available to the public other than by a breach of this Agreement, was available to the party to whom disclosed on a non-confidential basis by
disclosure or access provided by the Company or a third party, or was otherwise developed or obtained independently by the person to whom disclosed without a breach of this Agreement. On request by the Company, the Company will be entitled to the
return of any Confidential Information in the possession of the Executive. The Executive also agrees that the provisions of this paragraph 7 will survive the termination, expiration or cancellation of this Agreement for a period of three (3) years.
The Executive will deliver to the Company all originals and copies of the documents or materials containing Confidential Information. For purposes of paragraphs 7, 8, and 9 of this Agreement, the Company expressly includes any of the Company’s
affiliated corporations, partnerships or entities. 
  
 8. Noncompetition.
For a period of six (6) months after the Executive is no longer employed by the Company as a result of either the termination of or resignation by the Executive, the Executive will not acquire, attempt to acquire or aid another in the acquisition or
attempted acquisition of an interest in oil and gas assets, oil and gas production, oil and gas leases, mineral interests, oil and gas wells or other such oil and gas exploration, development or production activities within any spacing unit in which
the Company owns an oil and gas interest on the date of the resignation or termination of the Executive. In addition, the Executive will not solicit, induce, entice or attempt to entice any employee, contractor, customer, vendor or subcontractor to
terminate or breach any relationship with the Company or the Company’s affiliates for the Executive’s own account or for the benefit of another party. The Executive further agrees that the Executive will not circumvent or attempt to
circumvent the foregoing agreements by any future arrangement or through the actions of a third party. The foregoing will not prohibit the activities which are expressly permitted by the last sentence of paragraph 3 of this Agreement. 
  
 9. Proprietary Matters. The Executive expressly understands and agrees that any and
all improvements, inventions, discoveries, processes, know-how or intellectual property that are generated or conceived by the Executive during the term of this Agreement, whether generated or conceived during the Executive’s regular working
hours or otherwise, will be the sole and exclusive property of the Company. Whenever requested by the Company (either during the term of this Agreement or thereafter), the Executive will assign or execute any and all applications, assignments and or
other instruments and do all things which the Company deems necessary or appropriate in order to permit the Company to: (a) assign and convey or otherwise make available to the Company the sole and exclusive right, title, and interest in and to said
improvements,

inventions, discoveries, processes, know-how, applications, patents, copyrights, trade names or trademarks; or (b) apply for, obtain, maintain, enforce and
defend patents, copyrights, trade names, or trademarks of the United States or of foreign countries for said improvements, inventions, discoveries, processes or know-how. However, the improvements, inventions, discoveries, processes or know-how
generated or conceived by the Executive and referred to above (except as they may be included in the patents, copyrights or registered trade names or trademarks of the Company, or corporations, partnerships or other entities which may be affiliated
with the Company) shall not be exclusive property of the Company at any time after having been disclosed or revealed or have otherwise become available to the public or to a third party on a non-confidential basis other than by a breach of this
Agreement, or after they have been independently developed or discussed without a breach of this Agreement by a third party who has no obligation to the Company or its affiliates. The foregoing will not prohibit any activities which are expressly
permitted by the last sentence of paragraph 3 of this Agreement during the term of this Agreement. 
  
 10. Arbitration. The parties will attempt to promptly resolve any dispute or controversy arising out of or relating to this Agreement or termination of the Executive by the Company. Any negotiations pursuant to
this paragraph 10 are confidential and will be treated as compromise and settlement negotiations for all purposes. If the parties are unable to reach a settlement amicably, the dispute will be submitted to binding arbitration before a single
arbitrator in accordance with the Employment Dispute Resolution Rules of the American Arbitration Association. The arbitrator will be instructed and empowered to take reasonable steps to expedite the arbitration and the arbitrator’s judgment
will be final and binding upon the parties subject solely to challenge on the grounds of fraud or gross misconduct. Except for damages arising out of a breach of paragraphs 7, 8 or 9 of this Agreement, the arbitrator is not empowered to award total
damages (including compensatory damages) which exceed two hundred percent (200%) of compensatory damages and each party hereby irrevocably waives any damages in excess of that amount. The arbitration will be held in Oklahoma County, Oklahoma.
Judgment upon any verdict in arbitration may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction and the parties hereby consent to the jurisdiction of, and proper venue in, the federal and state courts located in Oklahoma County, Oklahoma. Each party
will bear its own costs in connection with the arbitration and the costs of the arbitrator will be borne by the party who the arbitrator determines did not prevail in the matter. Unless otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement, the procedures
specified in this paragraph 10 will be the sole and exclusive procedures for the resolution of disputes and controversies between the parties arising out of or relating to this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a party may seek a preliminary
injunction or other provisional judicial relief if in such party’s judgment such action is necessary to avoid irreparable damage or to preserve the status quo.
