Ladies and Gentlemen: 
 This
letter agreement (the “Consulting Agreement”) serves to confirm the retention by Samson Resources Corporation (f/k/a Tulip Acquisition Corporation) (the “Company”) of Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. L.P. (the
“KKR Manager”), NGP Energy Capital Management, L.L.C. (the “NGP Manager”), Crestview Advisors, L.L.C. (the “Crestview Manager”) and JD Rockies Resources Limited (the “ITOCHU
Manager” and together with the KKR Manager, the NGP Manager and the Crestview Manager, the “Managers” and each, a “Manager”) to provide management, consulting and financial services to the Company and its
divisions, subsidiaries and affiliates (collectively, the “Group”), as follows: 
 1. The Company has retained
the Managers, and each Manager hereby agrees to accept such retention, to provide to the Group, when and if called upon, such services as mutually agreed by the Managers and the Company, which services may include: (i) general executive and
management services; (ii) identification, support, negotiation and analysis of acquisitions and dispositions by the Group; (iii) support, negotiation and analysis of financing alternatives, including in connection with acquisitions,
capital expenditures and refinancing of existing indebtedness; (iv) finance functions, including assistance in the preparation of financial projections and monitoring of compliance with financing agreements; (v) human resources functions,
including searching and recruiting of executives, but excluding formulation or promulgation of personnel policies or involvement in personnel decision making; and (vi) other services for the Group upon which the Company and the Managers may
agree from time to time. Commencing on the date hereof (the “Effective Date”), the Company agrees to pay the Managers (or such affiliate(s) as any such Manager may designate) an aggregate annual fee (the “Advisory
Fee”) in an amount equal to $20,000,000 (twenty million dollars), which amount shall increase by 5% annually, payable in quarterly installments in arrears at the end of each fiscal quarter. The initial quarterly installment of the Advisory
Fee shall be on March 31, 2012 (and no portion of the Advisory Fee shall be payable in respect of the 

 
period from the Effective Date through December 31, 2011). The final quarterly installment of the Advisory Fee shall be pro rated to reflect the portion of the final fiscal quarter prior to
the end of the term of this Consulting Agreement, as applicable. The Advisory Fee shall be payable regardless of the level of services actually provided during any fiscal quarter and shall not be refundable under any circumstances. The Managers
shall split each installment of the Advisory Fee so that each Manager shall receive a portion of such installment equal to its Sharing Percentage (as defined below) of such installment. For purposes of this Consulting Agreement, the term
“Sharing Percentage” of a Manager means (i) with respect to the KKR Manager, 56.25%, (ii) with respect to the NGP Manager, 11.03%, (iii) with respect to the Crestview Manager, 7.72%, and (iv) with respect to the
ITOCHU Manager, 25.00%. The Managers and the Company acknowledge that the respective Sharing Percentage of the Managers as of the Effective Date result in an initial split of the Advisory Fee as follows: (i) to the KKR Manager, a portion of the
Advisory Fee equal to $11,250,000 (eleven million two hundred fifty thousand dollars), (ii) to the NGP Manager, a portion of the Advisory Fee equal to $2,206,000 (two million two hundred six thousand dollars), (iii) to the Crestview
Manager, a portion of the Advisory Fee equal to $1,544,000 (one million five hundred forty-four thousand dollars) and (iv) to the ITOCHU Manager, a portion of the Advisory Fee equal to $5,000,000 (five million dollars). 

2. In consideration for structuring services rendered by the Managers in connection with the acquisition of the outstanding shares of
Samson Investment Company (“SIC”) by the Company pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement, dated as of November 22, 2011 (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”), by and among the Company, SIC and the Selling
Stockholders (as defined in the Stock Purchase Agreement), which services included, but were not limited to, financial advisory services and capital structure review, the Company agrees to also pay the Managers a one-time transaction fee in an
aggregate amount equal to $89,395,899 (eighty-nine million three hundred ninety-five thousand eight hundred ninety-nine dollars) (the “Transaction Fee”), payable immediately upon the Closing (as defined in the Stock Purchase
Agreement), which Transaction Fee shall be apportioned so that (i) the KKR Manager shall receive a portion of the Transaction Fee equal to $39,239,084 (thirty-nine million two hundred thirty-nine thousand eighty-four dollars), (ii) the NGP
Manager shall receive a portion of the Transaction Fee equal to $13,268,999 (thirteen million two hundred sixty-eight thousand nine hundred ninety-nine dollars), (iii) the Crestview Manager shall receive a portion of the Transaction Fee equal
to $9,288,299 (nine million two hundred eighty-eight thousand two hundred ninety-nine dollars) and (iv) the ITOCHU Manager shall receive a portion of the Transaction Fee equal to $27,599,517 (twenty-seven million five hundred ninety-nine
thousand five hundred seventeen dollars). 
 3. From time to time after the Effective Date, the Managers may charge the Company
a customary fee for services rendered in connection with securing, structuring and negotiating equity and debt financing, including, with respect to any acquisition, divestiture or other transaction, initial public offering, or a debt or equity
financing, in each case, by or involving the Group (it being understood that no such fee shall be payable by the Company to the Managers pursuant to this paragraph 3 in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Stock Purchase Agreement
other than the Transaction Fee payable pursuant to paragraph 2). For the avoidance of doubt but subject to Section 2.4(b) of the Stockholders’ Agreement, the Group may, from time to time after the Effective Date, engage one or more of the
Managers or their affiliates to provide additional investment banking or other financial advisory services in connection with any acquisition, divestiture or similar transaction by the Group, in respect of which (i) separate agreements may be
entered into and (ii) such Managers or their affiliates may be entitled to receive additional compensation in respect thereof pursuant to such separate agreements.

 4. In addition to any fees that may be payable to the Managers under this Consulting
Agreement, the Company shall, or shall cause one or more of its affiliates to, on behalf of itself and the other members of the Group (subject to paragraph 5), reimburse the Managers and their affiliates and their respective employees and agents,
from time to time upon request, for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred, including unreimbursed out-of-pocket expenses incurred prior to the date hereof, in connection with this retention or transactions contemplated by the Stock Purchase
Agreement, including travel expenses and expenses of any legal, accounting or other professional advisors to the Managers or their affiliates. The Managers may submit monthly expense statements to the Company or any other member of the Group for
such out-of-pocket expenses, which statements shall be payable within thirty days. Nothing in this paragraph 4 shall limit any obligations of the Company to reimburse any costs and expenses to the Managers, their subsidiaries or affiliates as
provided in the Stockholders’ Agreement of the Company, dated as of the date hereof, among the parties thereto, as the same may be amended from time to time (the “Stockholders’ Agreement”). 

5. The Company (on behalf of itself and the other members of the Group) hereby acknowledges and agrees that the obligations of the
Company under paragraphs 1—4 shall be borne jointly and severally by each member of the Group. Without limitation to the foregoing, the parties hereto acknowledge that the Company may designate SIC to make the payments included herein on behalf
the Company. Each Manager may from time to time designate that any amounts payable under this Consulting Agreement be paid directly to an Affiliate of such Manager. Such designation shall be made by providing written notice to the Company.

 6. The Company will, and will cause each member of the Group to, use its reasonable best efforts to furnish, or to cause
their respective subsidiaries and agents to furnish, the Managers with such information (the “Information”) as the Managers reasonably believe appropriate to their engagement hereunder. The Managers will keep the Information
confidential in accordance with the confidentiality provisions of the Stockholders’ Agreement. The Company acknowledges and agrees that (i) the Managers will rely on the Information and on information available from generally recognized
public sources in performing the services contemplated hereunder and (ii) the Managers do not assume responsibility for the accuracy or completeness of the Information or such other information. 

7. The Company (on behalf of itself and the other members of the Group) hereby acknowledges and agrees that the services provided by the
Managers hereunder are being provided subject to the terms of the Indemnification Agreement, dated as of the date hereof, between the Company, SIC, the Managers, Samson Aggregator L.P. and Samson Aggregator GP LLC (as the same may be amended from
time to time, the “Indemnification Agreement”). 
 8. Any advice or opinions provided by the Managers may not
be disclosed or referred to publicly or to any third party (other than the Group’s legal, tax, financial or other advisors), except in accordance with the prior written consent of the Managers. 

9. The Company (on behalf of itself and the other members of the Group) hereby grants the Managers and their affiliates a non-exclusive
license to use the Company’s and/or other members of the Group’s trademarks and logos, solely in connection with describing the Managers’ relationship with the Company and the other members of the Group. 

10. Each Manager shall act as an independent contractor, with duties solely to the Group. The provisions hereof shall inure to the
benefit of and shall be binding upon the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns and, with respect to paragraph 18, the Manager Affiliates (as defined below); provided that (i) neither this Consulting Agreement nor any
right, interest or obligation hereunder may be assigned by any party, whether by operation of law or otherwise, without the express written consent of the other parties hereto and (ii) any assignment by a Manager of its rights but not the
obligations under this Consulting Agreement to any entity directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by or under common control with such Manager shall be expressly permitted hereunder and shall not require the prior written consent of the other
parties hereto. Nothing in this Consulting Agreement, expressed or implied, is 

  
 3 

 
intended to confer on any person any rights or remedies under or by reason of this Consulting Agreement other than (i) the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns and
(ii), with respect to paragraph 18, the Manager Affiliates. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the parties acknowledge that nothing in this Consulting Agreement, expressed or implied, is intended to confer on any present or future
holders of any securities of the Company or its subsidiaries or affiliates, or any present or future creditor of the Company or its subsidiaries or affiliates, any rights or remedies under or by reason of this Consulting Agreement or any performance
