ARTICLE I

Transfers of Various Ownership Interests

 

The parties hereby agree, as promptly as reasonably practicable, to
undertake the following transactions in the order set forth in this Article.

 

Section 1.1             Tax Distribution.  Prior to the transfer of ownership interests
to Newco pursuant to Section 1.2, Stroud Ltd. will estimate its “Presumed
Partnership Tax Liability” (as defined in Section 5.8 of the Third Amended
and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership of Stroud Ltd., dated January 1,
2004 (“Stroud Ltd.’s Partnership Agreement”))
as of the Closing (as hereinafter defined) and make a tax distribution in
accordance with such Section 5.8 of Stroud Ltd.’s Partnership Agreement to
allow the Owners to pay tax on their direct or indirect share of Stroud Ltd.’s
undistributed taxable income for the short taxable year ending on the Closing.  Following this distribution by Stroud Ltd.,
Management and SOP will make similar tax distributions to allow their Owners to
pay tax on their direct or indirect shares of Management’s and SOP’s
undistributed taxable income for the short taxable year ending on the Closing.

 

Section 1.2             Transfer of Ownership Interests
to Newco.  Pursuant to the
form of Assignment attached hereto as Exhibit A or the form of
Assignment and Stock Power attached hereto as Exhibit B, as
applicable, each Owner will grant, contribute, transfer, assign and convey to Newco,
its successors and assigns, all its right, title and interest in and to all its
ownership interests in SOP, Management and Stroud Ltd. as shown on Schedule I
attached hereto, and Newco will accept these ownership interests as a
contribution to the capital of Newco.

 

Section 1.3             Receipt of Stock in Newco.  The parties hereto acknowledge that the
transactions described in this Agreement constitute “Capital Transactions” and
the proceeds thereof constitute “Capital Proceeds” as defined in Stroud Ltd.’s
Partnership Agreement.  In exchange for
the transfers described above, Newco will issue shares of Newco common stock to
each Owner assuming a relative value for each Owner’s ownership interest and
calculated in

 

2

 

accordance with Section 5.6(c) of
Stroud Ltd.’s Partnership Agreement (except for the preferred partnership
interests in Stroud Ltd. which will be purchased pursuant to Section 1.12)
and in keeping with the examples of calculations shown on Schedule II
attached hereto; provided, however, that the Reserved Class B Interests that
were to be issued to members of management under Management’s Partnership
Agreement, but have not been specifically allocated, will become reserved
shares (the “Unallocated Class B Interest Shares”)
retained by Newco for future issuance in accordance with the Stroud Energy, Inc.
2005 Restricted Stock Plan (the “Newco Restricted Stock
Plan”) and, independent of the calculation referred to above,
shall be fixed in number at 226,608 shares. 
  The Unallocated Class B
Interest Shares would otherwise have been issued to Owners of SOP by virtue of
SOP’s ownership of Class B Partnership Interests in Management as of the
Closing.  Shares of Newco common stock
issued in exchange for the Class B Partnership Interests in Management
that were granted to management employees in May 2005 and that are subject
to forfeiture restrictions as of the Closing shall be issued pursuant to the
Newco Restricted Stock Plan and such shares of Newco common stock shall be
subject to the same forfeiture restrictions as were in effect with respect to
such Class B Partnership Interests prior to the Closing.  Shares of Newco common stock issued in
exchange for Class B Partnership Interests in Management that were issued
to management employees prior to May 2005 shall not be subject to forfeiture
and shall be fully vested.

 

Section 1.4             Newco Stock Incentive Plan and
Restricted Stock Plan.  In connection with the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement but prior to the merger of SOP described in Section 1.6

Properties, Inc. 2001 Stock Incentive Plan (the “SOP Plan”)
will be assumed and adopted by Newco and restated into the form of the Newco
Stock Incentive Plan and (ii) the Newco Stock Incentive Plan and the Newco
Restricted Stock Plan will be approved and adopted by the board of directors
and the stockholders of Newco.  Upon the
consummation of the Private Offering, outstanding options under the SOP Plan
will be assumed by Newco and adjusted to become options to purchase shares of
Newco common stock in accordance with the rules set forth in Treasury
Regulations Section 1.424-1(a).

 

Section 1.5             Transfer of Ownership Interests
in SOP by Newco.  Pursuant to the

Newco will grant, contribute, transfer, assign and convey to GP LLC, its
successors and assigns, all its right, title and interest in and to 0.1% of its
stock in SOP as shown on Schedule I attached hereto, and GP LLC
will accept these ownership interests as a contribution to the capital of GP
LLC.

 

Section 1.6             Merger of SOP.  Newco will take all actions necessary or
convenient under the Oklahoma General Corporation Act and the Limited
Partnership Act of the State of Delaware to cause SOP to merge into SOP Ltd.
and the surviving entity will file an election to be treated as a corporation
for federal tax purposes.

in SEM LLC by Newco to SOP Ltd.  Pursuant to the form of
Assignment attached hereto as Exhibit A, Newco will grant,
contribute, transfer, assign and convey to SOP Ltd., its successors and
assigns, all its right, title and interest in and to all its membership
interests in SEM LLC as shown on Schedule I attached hereto, and

Assignment attached hereto as Exhibit A, Newco will grant,
contribute, transfer, assign and convey to SOP Ltd., its successors and
assigns, all its right, title and interest in and to all its limited
partnership interests in Stroud Ltd. as shown on Schedule I
attached hereto, and SOP Ltd. will accept these ownership interests.

 

Section 1.11           Contribution

AMENDMENT TO

COMBINATION AGREEMENT

 

This Amendment to Combination Agreement (this
“Amendment”) is entered into as of September 19,
2005, by and among Stroud Oil Properties, Inc., an Oklahoma corporation (“SOP”), all the shareholders of SOP
as listed on the signature page to this Agreement, Stroud Energy
Management, Ltd., a Texas limited partnership (“Management”),
all the limited partners of Management as listed on the signature page to
this Agreement, Stroud Energy, Ltd., a Texas limited partnership (“Stroud Ltd.”), all the limited
partners of Stroud Ltd. as listed on the signature page to this Agreement,
and Stroud Energy, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Newco”).  The shareholders (and limited partners after
the merger described below) of SOP and the limited partners of Management and
Stroud Ltd. (other than SOP) are collectively referred to as the “Owners”.

 

RECITALS

 

The parties hereto entered into that certain Combination
Agreement dated as of August 1, 2005 (the “Original
Agreement”), pursuant to which the Owners agreed to exchange
their ownership interests in SOP, Management and Stroud Ltd. for stock in Newco
through the series of transactions contemplated therein.

 

The parties desire to amend the Original
Agreement to specify (i) the number of shares to be issued to each Owner
in exchange for the transfers that take place pursuant to the Original
Agreement and (ii) the number of shares to be sold by certain of the
Owners in the Private Offering.

 

Now, therefore, in consideration of the premises
and the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein and in the Original
Agreement, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties agree as
follows:

 

Section 1                Definitions.  Capitalized terms used and not otherwise
defined in this Amendment shall have the definitions given them in the Original
Agreement.  From and after the date
hereof, all references to the “Agreement” in the Original Agreement shall mean
the Original Agreement as amended by this Amendment.

 

Section 2                Amendment of Section 1.3.  Section 1.3 of the Original Agreement is
hereby amended and restated to read in its entirety as follows:

 

“Section 1.3           Receipt of Stock in Newco.  The parties hereto acknowledge that the
transactions described in this Agreement constitute “Capital Transactions” and
the proceeds thereof constitute “Capital Proceeds” as defined in Stroud Ltd.’s
Partnership Agreement.  In exchange for
the transfers described above, Newco will issue the number of shares of Newco
common stock to each Owner set forth beside such Owner’s name on Schedule II
attached hereto; provided, however, that the Reserved Class B Interests
that were to be issued to members of management under Management’s Partnership
Agreement, but have

 

1

 

not been specifically allocated, will become reserved shares (the “Unallocated Class B Interest Shares”)
retained by Newco for future issuance in accordance with the Stroud Energy, Inc.
2005 Restricted Stock Plan (the “Newco Restricted Stock
Plan”) and, independent of the calculation referred to above,
shall be fixed in number at 226,608 shares. 
The Unallocated Class B Interest Shares would otherwise have been
issued to Owners of SOP by virtue of SOP’s ownership of Class B
Partnership Interests in Management as of the Closing.  Shares of Newco common stock issued in
exchange for the Class B Partnership Interests in Management that were
granted to management employees in May 2005 and that are subject to
forfeiture restrictions as of the Closing shall be issued pursuant to the Newco
Restricted Stock Plan and such shares of Newco common stock shall be subject to
the same forfeiture restrictions as were in effect with respect to such Class B
Partnership Interests prior to the Closing. 
Shares of Newco common stock issued in exchange for Class B
Partnership Interests in Management that were issued to management employees
prior to May 2005 shall not be subject to forfeiture and shall be fully
vested.”

 

Section 3                Addition of Section 1.13.  The Original Agreement is hereby amended to
add a new Section 1.13 to read in its entirety as follows:

 

“Section 1.13         Selling Shareholders.  As part of the Private Offering, each
Owner listed on Schedule III attached hereto will offer and sell,
first, the number of shares of Newco common stock set forth beside such Owner’s
name under the heading “Base Amount Shares,” and, second, pursuant to exercise
of an option to cover additional allotments, the number of shares of Newco
common stock set forth beside such Owner’s name under the heading “Additional
Allotment Shares.”

 

Section 4                Amendments to Schedules.  Schedule II to the Original
Agreement is hereby amended and restated to read in its entirety as set forth
on Schedule II attached to this Amendment.  The Original Agreement is hereby amended to
add a new Schedule III to read in its entirety as set forth on Schedule III
attached to this Amendment.

 

Section 5                Ratification.  The Original Agreement is hereby ratified and
confirmed and shall remain and continue in full force and effect in accordance
with the terms and provisions thereof, as amended by this Amendment, and in the
event of any conflict between the Original Agreement and this Amendment, then
the terms and conditions of this Amendment shall prevail.

 

Section 6                Counterparts.  This Amendment may be executed in multiple
counterparts, each, and together all, of which shall be deemed an original.

 

Section 7                Joinder of Spouses.  The spouses of each individual Owner are
joining in the execution of this Amendment to acknowledgment its existence and
its provisions, and to evidence the desire to bind their interests in the
ownership interests transferred under the Original Agreement, if any, to the
performance of this Amendment.
