**Exhibit 10.1**

**INDEMNITY AGREEMENT**

THISINDEMNITY AGREEMENT (“Agreement”), effective as of [*], is made by and between Chaparral Energy, Inc., a Delaware corporation with executive offices located at 701 Cedar Lake Blvd., Oklahoma City, Oklahoma 73114 (the “Company”),and [*] of the Company, residing at [*] (the “Indemnitee”). 

The Company and Indemnitee recognize the prevalent risk ofcorporate shareholder litigation, in general, subjecting directors to the risk of expensive litigation. 

The Company’s Board ofDirectors has determined that, in order to attract and retain qualified individuals, the Company will attempt to maintain on an ongoing basis, at its sole expense, liability insurance to protect persons serving the Company from certain liabilities.Although the furnishing of such insurance has been a customary and widespread practice among United States-based corporations and other business enterprises, the Company believes that, given current market conditions and trends, such insurance maybe available to it in the future only at higher premiums and with more exclusions. At the same time, directors, officers, and other persons in service to corporations or business enterprises are being increasingly subjected to expensive andtime-consuming litigation relating to, among other things, matters that traditionally would have been brought only against the Company or business enterprise itself. The Amended and Restated Bylaws of Chaparral Energy, Inc. (“Bylaws”) andthe Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation if Chaparral Energy, Inc. (“Certificate of Incorporation”) requires indemnification of the directors of the Company. 

Indemnitee may also be entitled to indemnification pursuant to the Delaware General Corporation Law (“***DGCL***”).Section 145 of the DGCL, empowers the Company to indemnify by agreement its officers, directors, employees and agents, and persons who serve, at the request of the Company, as directors, officers, employees or agents of other corporations orenterprises, and expressly provides that the indemnification provided by Section 145 is not exclusive, and thereby contemplate that contracts may be entered into between the Company and members of the Board of Directors, officers and otherpersons with respect to indemnification; 

Given the uncertainties relating to such insurance and to indemnification have increased thedifficulty of attracting and retaining such persons, it is reasonable, prudent and necessary for the Company contractually to obligate itself to indemnify, and to advance Expenses on behalf of, such persons to the fullest extent permitted byapplicable law so that they will serve or continue to serve the Company free from undue concern that they will not be so indemnified. 

This Agreement is a supplement to and in furtherance of the Bylaws and Certificate of Incorporation and any resolutions adopted pursuantthereto, and shall not be deemed a substitute therefor, nor to diminish or abrogate any rights of Indemnitee thereunder. 

Indemnitee doesnot regard the protection available under the Bylaws and Certificate of Incorporation and insurance as adequate in the present circumstances, and may not be willing to serve as an officer or director without adequate protection, and the Companydesires Indemnitee to serve in such capacity. Indemnitee is willing to serve, continue to serve and to take on additional service for or on behalf of the Company on the condition that he or she is so indemnified. 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of Indemnitee’s agreement to serve as a director from and after the date hereof, the parties agree asfollows:
