Certificate of Designations 
  
 [See Exhibit 3.1 to Knology’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed May 27, 2005] 

 Exhibit C-1 
  
 Form of Alston & Bird LLP Opinion 
  
 1. Each of the Company and the Company Subsidiaries is a corporation existing and in good standing under the laws of the
state of its incorporation. The Company and each of the Company Subsidiaries has the requisite corporate power to own and operate its properties and assets, and to carry on its business as it is currently being conducted. The Company or one of the
Company Subsidiaries owns all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company Subsidiaries, which shares are free and clear of any liens, charges or encumbrances and are duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and
nonassessable. There are no outstanding options, warrants, conversion rights, preemptive rights, subscription rights, rights of first refusal or other rights to purchase or acquire any shares of the capital stock of any of the Company Subsidiaries.

  
 2. The Company has the corporate power and authority to
execute and deliver each of the Transaction Documents, and to perform its obligations thereunder. The Company has the corporate power and authority to sell and issue the Shares and to issue the common stock, $.01 par value, of the Company (the
“Common Stock”) issuable upon conversion of the Shares. 
  
 3. Each of the Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement and the Joinder Agreement (the “Transaction Documents”) has been duly and validly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company. The
Certificate has been filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware and is effective as of                  , 2005. 
  
 4. Each of the Transaction Documents constitutes a valid and binding
agreement of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, except as enforcement may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, moratorium or other similar laws affecting creditors’
rights, and subject to general equity principles and to limitations on availability of equitable relief, including specific performance. 
  
 5. The execution, delivery and performance by the Company of each of the Transaction Documents do not: (A) conflict with or violate any provision of the
Certificate or bylaws of the Company and all consents required by the Certificate or bylaws of the Company have been obtained; (B) conflict with or violate any provision of any law, rule or regulation of general applicability, any order, writ,
judgment, injunction, decree, determination or award currently in effect applicable to the Company, the Company Subsidiaries or their respective properties or by which they are bound or affected; or (C) result in the creation or imposition of any
lien, charge, mortgage, security interest or encumbrance of any nature whatsoever upon any property or asset of the Company or any Company Subsidiary. 
  
 6. Except such as have been obtained, no authorization, consent, approval, order, license or exemption of, or notice to or filing, qualification or
registration with, any court or governmental department, commission, board, bureau, agency or instrumentality is or will be necessary for the valid execution, delivery or performance by the Company of the Transaction Documents or the consummation of
the transactions contemplated thereby, including, without limitation, the issuance of the Shares or the shares of Common Stock upon conversion of the Shares, or for the enforcement against the Company of the Transaction Documents. 
  
 7. The Shares, when paid for and issued as provided in the Agreement, and the
shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Shares, when issued in accordance with the terms of the Shares, will be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and the issuance thereof will not be subject to preemptive
rights in favor of any person under the Certificate, the amended and restated 

 certificate of incorporation or the bylaws of the Company and will not result in the issuance of additional shares of
Common Stock or the triggering of any anti-dilution of similar rights of any person under the Certificate, the amended and restated certificate of incorporation or the or bylaws of the Company. The designations, powers, preferences, rights,
qualifications, limitations and restrictions in respect of each class or series of authorized capital stock of the Company are as set forth in the Certificate and the amended and restated certificate of incorporation of the Company and all such
designations, powers, preferences, rights, qualifications, limitations and restrictions are valid, binding and enforceable and in accordance with all applicable laws, except as enforcement may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, arrangement, moratorium or other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights, and subject to general equity principles and to limitations on availability of equitable relief, including specific performance. 
  
 8. The representation contained in the first paragraph of Section 3.2 of the
Agreement regarding the authorized capital stock of the Company as of the date of the Agreement is true and correct. All issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company are, and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of
outstanding options and warrants and issuable upon conversion of the issued and outstanding shares of Series AA Preferred Stock when issued will be, duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable. The shares of Series AA Preferred
Stock issued and outstanding as of the Closing are not, and the issuance of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of outstanding options and warrants and issuable upon conversion of the issued and outstanding shares of Series AA
Preferred Stock will not be, subject to preemptive rights in favor of any person and will not result in the issuance of additional shares of Common Stock or the triggering of any anti-dilution or similar rights under the Certificate, the amended and
restated certificate of incorporation or the bylaws of the Company, in each case that has not been waived. Other than as set forth in Section 3.2 of the Agreement, there are no outstanding options, warrants, conversion rights, preemptive rights,
subscription rights, rights of first refusal or other rights (whether by law, pursuant to the Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation or otherwise) to purchase or acquire any shares of the capital stock of the Company.

  
 9. The offer, sale and delivery of the Shares, and the shares
of Common Stock to be issued upon the conversion of the Shares, do not require registration under the Securities Act or registration or qualification under the blue sky laws of Georgia. 

 Exhibit C-2 
  
 Form of Chad S. Wachter’s Opinion 
  
 1. There is no pending, or, to my knowledge, threatened, action, suit, proceeding or investigation before any court,
governmental or regulatory agency or authority or self-regulatory agency by, against or involving the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries that is reasonably likely to have a Company Material Adverse Effect. 
  
 2. There is no judgment, injunction, order or decree of any court,
governmental agency or instrumentality or self-regulatory agency against the Company or any of the Company Subsidiaries that is reasonably likely to have a Company Material Adverse Effect. 
  
 3. The execution, delivery and performance by the Company of each of the
Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement and the Joinder Agreement do not conflict with or result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any agreement, undertaking, contract, indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, lease or
other instrument to which the Company or any Company Subsidiary is a party or by which it is bound.

 ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES AGREEMENT 
  
 This ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) is entered into as of the 1st day of April, 2005 by and between Gulfport Energy Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Service
Provider”), and Bronco Drilling Company, L.L.C., an Oklahoma limited liability company (“Bronco”). 
  
 WHEREAS, Bronco intends to consummate an initial public offering (“IPO”); 
  
 WHEREAS, Bronco, an affiliate of the Service Provider, receives certain
administrative and support services from Service Provider; and 
  
 WHEREAS, in order to effect an orderly transition by Bronco to a separate, stand-alone entity following the IPO, Bronco desires Service Provider to provide the services described herein. 
  
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the agreements set forth
in this Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties, intending to be legally bound hereby, agree as follows: 
  
 ARTICLE I 
 SERVICES 
  
 SECTION 1.1 Services. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Service Provider, acting through its and/or its Affiliates’ (defined below) respective employees, agents, contractors or independent third parties,
agrees to provide or cause to be provided to Bronco and its subsidiaries the services set forth on Exhibit A hereto (including any additional services provided pursuant to Section 1.3, all of such services collectively referred to
herein as the “Services”). Bronco acknowledges and agrees that, except as may be expressly set forth herein as a Service (including an additional Service to be provided pursuant to Section 1.3 below), Service Provider
shall not be obligated to provide, or cause to be provided, any service or goods to Bronco. An “Affiliate” of any person means another person that directly, or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls, is
controlled by, or is under common control with, such person. For this purpose “control” means the possession, directly or indirectly, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of the person
controlled, whether through ownership of voting securities, by contract or otherwise. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Service Provider or any of its majority owned subsidiaries, if any, shall not be deemed an Affiliate of Bronco,
and Bronco or any of its majority owned subsidiaries, if any, shall not be deemed an Affiliate of Service Provider. 
  
 SECTION 1.2 Service Coordinators. Each party will nominate a representative to act as the primary contact with respect to the provision of the
Services as contemplated by this Agreement (the “Service Coordinators”). The initial Service Coordinators shall be Michael G. Moore for Service Provider and Zachary M. Graves for Bronco. Unless Service Provider and Bronco
otherwise agree, Service Provider and Bronco agree that all notices and communications relating to this Agreement other than those day to day communications and billings relating to the actual provision of the Services shall be directed to the
Service Coordinators in accordance with Section 7.2 hereof. 

 SECTION 1.3 Additional Services. Subject to any limitations set forth in this Agreement and
Exhibit A hereto, Bronco may request additional Services from Service Provider by providing written notice. Upon the mutual written agreement as to the nature, cost, duration and scope of such additional Services, Service Provider and Bronco
shall supplement in writing Exhibit A to include such additional Services. In accordance with Section 3.2, the parties hereto may discontinue one or more Services hereunder. 
  
 SECTION 1.4 Employees, Standard of Performance and Legal Compliance. 
  
 (a) Service Provider shall cause its employees
(“Employees”) to devote such time and effort to the business of Bronco as shall be reasonably necessary to perform the duties and services set forth in this Agreement; provided, however, that the Employees shall not be
precluded from engaging in other business activities. The Employees shall not receive any additional compensation from Bronco for holding any office or serving as an officer of Bronco. All duties and services of the Employees shall be rendered at
the offices of Service Provider subject to reasonable travel requirements. Unless otherwise expressly provided for in this Agreement, all matters pertaining to the employment of the Employees are the sole responsibility of Service Provider, which
shall in all respects be the employer of such Employees. At no time shall the employees, agents and consultants of Service Provider, any independent contractors engaged by Service Provider and/or the employees of any such independent contractors be
considered employees of Bronco. This Agreement is not one of agency between Service Provider and Bronco, but one with Service Provider engaged independently in the business of providing services as an independent contractor. All employment
arrangements are therefore solely Service Provider’s concern, and Bronco shall not have any liability with respect thereto except as otherwise expressly set forth herein. 
  
 (b) The Services to be provided hereunder shall be performed with the same general degree of care as when
performed within the Service Provider’s organization. In the event Service Provider fails to provide, or cause to be provided, the Services in accordance herewith, the sole and exclusive remedy of Bronco shall be to, at Bronco’s sole
discretion, either (i) have the Service reperformed, or (ii) not pay for such Service, or if payment has already been made, receive a refund of the payment made for such defective service; provided that in the event Service Provider defaults in the
manner described in Section 3.3, Bronco shall have the further rights set forth in Section 3.3. 
  
 (c) Service Provider further covenants and represents to Bronco that it shall comply in all material respect with all applicable laws,
rules, regulations and requirements of any governmental body which may be applicable to the Services provided by Service Provider hereunder, including applicable rules and regulations of the Securities Exchange Commission. Service Provider shall
obtain and maintain all material permits, approvals and licenses necessary or appropriate to perform its duties and obligations (including all Services) hereunder and shall at all times comply with the terms and conditions of such permits, approvals
and licenses. Service Provider shall notify Bronco’s Service Coordinator immediately upon receipt of notice of (i) any material threatened or pending governmental orders, proceedings or lawsuit involving Bronco and (ii) any material violations
relating to the use or maintenance of Bronco’s assets. 
  

 2 

 SECTION 1.5 Conflict with Laws. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, Service Provider shall
not be required to provide a Service to the extent the provision thereof would violate or contravene an applicable law. To the extent that the provision of any such Service would violate an applicable law, the parties agree to work together in good
faith to provide such Service in a manner which would not violate any law. 
  
 ARTICLE II 
 SERVICE CHARGES 
  
 SECTION 2.1 Compensation. As compensation for the services to be performed and the expenses incurred by Service
Provider under this Agreement during the term of this Agreement, Bronco shall pay Service Provider an annual administrative services fee of $413,984.40, subject to adjustment from time to time as provided in Sections 1.3 and 3.2 (the
“Administrative Services Fee”). As compensation for the lease of 1,160 square feet of office space at 14313 North May Avenue, Suite 100, Bronco shall pay Service Provider an annual lease payment of $20,880 (the
“Rent”). If the term of this Agreement is extended pursuant to Article III, Service Provider and Bronco shall agree on the terms of the Administrative Services Fee for such extension period. 
  
 SECTION 2.2 Payment. The Administrative Services Fee and the Rent
shall be paid on the first of each month in equal monthly installments. 
  
 ARTICLE III 
 TERM AND DISCONTINUATION OF SERVICES 
  
 SECTION 3.1 Term. The term of this Agreement shall be effective as of the first date written above and shall continue
in force until the earlier of (i) three (3) years from the date hereof or (ii) the termination of all Services in accordance with Section 3.3. Upon the expiration of the term, this Agreement shall continue on a month-to-month basis until
canceled by either party upon thirty (30) days’ prior written notice. Any extension of this Agreement must be made by the parties in writing. 
  
 SECTION 3.2 Discontinuation of Services. Either party may, with the other party’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld), elect to discontinue any individual Service from time to time. In the event of any termination with respect to one or more, but less than all, of the Services, this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect with
respect to any Services not terminated hereby. The parties shall amend Exhibit A to reflect the termination of any such Services and may by mutual agreement adjust the Administrative Services Fee. 
  
 SECTION 3.3 Termination. This Agreement may be terminated as follows:
(i) Bronco may terminate this Agreement at any time upon not less than thirty (30) days written notice to Service Provider and (ii) either party may terminate this Agreement upon immediate written notice if the other party is in material breach or
default with respect to any term or provision hereof and fails to cure the same within thirty (30) days of receipt of notice of said breach or default. Bronco’s right to terminate this Agreement as provided in this Section 3.3 and the
rights set forth in Section 1.4(b) and Section 4.1 shall constitute Bronco’s sole and exclusive rights and 
  

 3 

 remedies for a breach by Service Provider hereunder (including without limitation any breach caused by an Affiliate of
Service Provider or other third party providing a Service hereunder). Upon termination of this Agreement by Bronco, Service Provider shall be entitled to immediate payment of any unpaid balance of the Administrative Services Fee pro rated through
the date of termination. 
  
 ARTICLE IV 
 INDEMNIFICATION 
  
 SECTION 4.1 Indemnification of Bronco. Service Provider and its Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees or agents shall have
no liability for any damages, losses, deficiencies, obligations, penalties, judgments, settlements, claims, payments, fines, interest costs and expenses (including the costs and expenses of any and all actions and demands, assessments, judgments,
settlements and compromises relating thereto and the costs and expenses of attorneys’, accountants’, consultants’ and other professionals’ fees and expenses incurred in the investigation or defense thereof or the enforcement of
rights hereunder) (“Losses”) to Bronco and its Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees or agents with respect to their furnishing any of the Services hereunder except for Losses arising out of or
resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Service Provider occurring after the date hereof. Service Provider will indemnify, defend and hold harmless Bronco and its Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees or
agents in respect of all such Losses arising out of or resulting from such gross negligence or willful misconduct. 
  
 SECTION 4.2 Indemnification of Service Provider. Bronco shall indemnify and hold harmless Service Provider and its Affiliates and their respective
officers, directors, employees or agents in respect of all Losses arising out of or resulting from Service Provider’ furnishing or failing to furnish the Services provided for in this Agreement, other than Losses arising out of or resulting
from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Service Provider or its Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees or agents. 
  
 ARTICLE V 
 CONFIDENTIALITY 
  
 SECTION 5.1 Confidentiality. Service Provider and Bronco shall hold
and shall each cause their respective officers, employees, agents, consultants and advisors to hold, in strict confidence and not to disclose or release without the prior written consent of the other party, any and all Confidential Information (as
defined herein); provided, that the parties may disclose, or may permit disclosure of, Confidential Information (1) to their respective auditors, attorneys, financial advisors, bankers and other appropriate consultants and advisors who have a need
to know such information and are informed of their obligation to hold such information confidential to the same extent as is applicable to the parties hereto and in respect of whose failure to comply with such obligations, Service Provider or
Bronco, as the case may be, will be responsible or (2) to the extent any member of the Service Provider or the Bronco is compelled to disclose any such Confidential Information by judicial or administrative process or, in the opinion of legal
counsel, by other requirements of law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any demand or request for disclosure of Confidential Information is made pursuant to clause (2) above, Service Provider or Bronco, as the case may be, shall
promptly notify the other of the existence of such request or 
  

 4 

 demand and shall provide the other a reasonable opportunity to seek an appropriate protective order or other remedy,
which both parties will cooperate in seeking to obtain. In the event that such appropriate protective order or other remedy is not obtained, the party whose Confidential Information is required to be disclosed shall or shall cause the other party to
furnish, or cause to be furnished, only that portion of the Confidential Information that is legally required to be disclosed. As used in this Section 5.1, “Confidential Information” shall mean all proprietary,
technical or operational information, data or material of one party which, prior to or following the closing date of the IPO, has been disclosed by Service Provider or its representatives, on the one hand, or Bronco or its representatives, on the
other hand, in written, oral (including by recording), electronic, or visual form to, or otherwise has come into the possession of, the other (except to the extent that such Information can be shown to have been (a) in the public domain through no
fault of such party or (b) later lawfully acquired from other sources by the party to which it was furnished; provided, however, in the case of (b) that such sources did not provide such information in breach of any confidentiality obligations).

  
 ARTICLE VI 
 FORCE MAJEURE 
  
 SECTION 6.1 Performance Excused. Continued performance of a Service may be suspended immediately to the extent caused by any event or condition
beyond the reasonable control of the party suspending such performance including acts of God, fire, labor or trade disturbance, war, civil commotion, compliance in good faith with any law, unavailability of materials or other event or condition
whether similar or dissimilar to the foregoing (a “Force Majeure Event”). 
  
 SECTION 6.2 Notice. The party claiming suspension due to a Force Majeure Event will give prompt notice to the other of the occurrence of the Force
Majeure Event giving rise to the suspension and of its nature and anticipated duration.

it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such, action, suit or proceeding in any such court or that any such action, suit or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Process in any such
action, suit or proceeding may be served on any party anywhere in the world, whether within or without the jurisdiction of any such court.
