RECITALS 
WHEREAS, Seller is the owner of certain overriding royalty interests covering the lands and leases described in Part I of Exhibit A-1 attached hereto (the “Subject Lands”), being the same interests as are described in and that were conveyed to Seller by SandRidge Exploration and Production, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, (“SandRidge E&P”) or assigned to Seller by Mistmada Oil Company, Inc., an Oklahoma corporation, pursuant to those certain recorded instruments described in Part II of Exhibit A-1 (collectively, the “Conveyances”); and  
WHEREAS, Seller desires to sell, transfer, convey, and assign the Assets (as defined below) to Buyer, and Buyer desires to purchase and accept the Assets, all in the manner and upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement;  
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and mutual conditions and agreements contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Parties, intending to be legally bound by the terms hereof, agree as follows: 
1.Purchase and Sale.  Subject to the terms and conditions contained herein, Seller shall sell, transfer, convey, and assign at Closing the Assets to Buyer and Buyer shall purchase, acquire, accept and pay for the Assets and shall assume the Assumed Obligations. 
2.Assets. As used herein, the term “Assets” refers to all of Seller’s right, title, interest and estate in and to the following: 
(a)any and all right, title, interest and claims in, to, under and/or derived from the overriding royalty interests conveyed pursuant to the Conveyances (the “ORRIs”), provided that, to the extent any interest conveyed pursuant to the Conveyances was created out of a mineral interest rather than out of an oil and gas leasehold interest, the term ORRIs shall include all non-participating royalty interests with respect to that particular interest covered by the Conveyances, together with all pooled, communitized, or unitized acreage which includes all or part of any ORRIs, and all tenements, hereditaments, and appurtenances belonging thereto (the “Units”) (the ORRIs and the Units, being collectively referred to hereinafter as the “Properties” or individually as a “Property”); it being stipulated and agreed that the Assets shall include all of the “Royalty Interests” (as defined in the Conveyances) conveyed to Seller by the Conveyances; 
(b)all trade credits, all accounts, receivables, and all other proceeds, income, or revenues attributable to the Properties (the “Proceeds”) that are attributable to the time period from and after the Effective Time; 
#6173201.10

(c)any and all currently existing contract, agreement or any other legally binding arrangement that are binding on any of the Properties or relates to the ownership of the Properties by Seller, but only to the extent applicable to the Properties, (the “Contracts”); and 
(d)all files, records, and data maintained by, or to which Seller is entitled, including, without limitation, data and other documentary information regarding the Properties, the Contracts and the Proceeds to the extent the transfer of such data is not prohibited under any related contracts (the “Records”); provided, however, that the term “Records” shall not include any of Seller’s files, records, and data that (i) relate to its business generally, (ii) are legal in nature (other than Contracts), (iii) relate to the sale of the Assets, and (iv) the transfer of which is prohibited by contract or law or that would impose a transfer fee or penalty on Seller. 
3.Sale Price. The sale price for the Assets shall be $5,250,000.00 (the “Sale Price”).  Exhibit A-2 attached hereto sets forth the agreed allocation of the unadjusted Sale Price among the Assets.  The “Allocated Value” for any Asset equals the portion of the unadjusted Sale Price allocated to such Asset on Exhibit A-2, increased or decreased by a proportionate share of each adjustment to the unadjusted Sale Price under Section 8 that affects such Asset.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Seller has accepted such Allocated Values for purposes of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby but make no representation or warranty as to the accuracy of such values. 
4.Effective Time. The sale, transfer and assignment of the Assets shall be effective as of 12:01 a.m., central prevailing time, on July 1, 2020 (the “Effective Time”). 

5.Seller’s Representations.  Seller represents and warrants to Buyer, as of the date hereof, that:

(c)Execution.  The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the transactions it contemplates for Seller are duly and validly authorized by the requisite corporate or other action on the part of Seller.  This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by Trustee on behalf of Seller and this Agreement constitutes the valid and binding obligations of Seller, enforceable against Seller in accordance with their terms except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy or other similar laws affecting the rights and remedies of creditors generally as well as to general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law) 
2

Such account shall be settled between the Parties by the payment of cash, as appropriate, pursuant to a final settlement statement setting forth the items noted in this Section 11 and taking into account payments related to such matters that were made at Closing, to be prepared by Seller and approved by Buyer.  
12.Survival.

All such Work Product is and shall forthwith become the property of the Company, or its designee, whether or not patentable or copyrightable.  The Company will execute promptly upon request any documents or instruments at any time deemed necessary or proper by the Company in order to formally convey and transfer to the Company or its designee title to such Work Product, or to confirm the Company or its designee’s title therein, and in order to enable the Company or its designee to obtain and enforce United States and foreign Letters Patent, Trademarks and Copyrights thereon.  You agree to perform your obligations under this Section 11 without further compensation, except for reimbursement of reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred at the request of the Company.    
12. Non-Compete  

a.  In order to protect the Company’s Confidential Information and trade secrets, which would cause irreparable harm to the Company if disclosed to a competitor, during your employment, and for a period of 12 months following the termination of your employment (whether voluntary or involuntary) with the Company (the “Restriction Period”), you shall not, without the prior written consent of the Company, directly or indirectly engage in any employment, independent contracting, consulting engagement, business opportunity or individual activity in the United States of America or abroad with the following casual footwear companies: Skechers USA, Inc., Wolverine Worldwide, Inc., Deckers Outdoor Corporation, as well as any other entity or business that is primarily engaged in the design and/or distribution of casual footwear (collectively, the “Restricted Activities”).  You further acknowledge and agree that in light of your role, knowledge of, and access to the Company’s Confidential Information and trade secrets, and the international nature of Company’s business, that the restrictions set forth in this Section 12.a are reasonable. 

b. In the event you breach this covenant not to compete, the Restriction Period shall automatically toll from the date of the first breach, and all subsequent breaches, until the resolution of the breach through private settlement, judicial or other action, including all appeals. The Restriction Period shall continue upon the effective date of any such settlement, judicial or other resolution.

c.   The Company has the option, in its sole discretion, to elect to waive all of a portion of the Restriction Period or to limit the definition of Restricted Activities, by giving you seven (7) days prior notice of such election.

13.  Non-Solicitation - During your employment, and for 12 months following the termination of your employment (whether voluntary or involuntary) with the Company, you shall not, without the prior written consent of the Company, directly or indirectly: (i) solicit, induce, hire, or aid or assist any other person or entity in soliciting for employment, offering employment to, or hiring any employee of the Company who was an employee of the Company at any time during the 12 months prior to the last day of employment; or (ii) encourage or solicit any customer, vendor, 
4

supplier or contractor who has a business relationship with the Company on the date of your termination of employment to terminate or seek to modify or terminate its relationship with the Company.  The restrictions set forth in Sections 13(i) and (ii) above shall not prohibit any form of general advertising or solicitation that is not directed to a specific person or entity.

14. Employee Cooperation.  During and after your employment ends, you acknowledge and agree that you have a duty to cooperate by providing truthful information and any documents in connection with any legal proceeding in which the Company is involved and regarding which you have knowledge, information or expertise, or where the Company believes your attendance and participation could be beneficial to the Company. You will be reimbursed by the Company for any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses resulting from said assistance or participation. 

15. Survival - Your obligations under Sections 10-14 of this letter shall survive the termination of your employment (whether voluntary or involuntary) with the Company.  The Company is also entitled to communicate your obligations under Sections 10-14 of this letter to your future or potential employer.

16. Remedies - You acknowledge that if  you breach any obligation under this letter, including a breach of one or more provisions regarding confidentiality, non-competition, non-solicitation, or disclosure of Work Product, the Company will suffer immediate and irreparable harm and damage and that a remedy at law would be inadequate.  You therefore agree that upon such breach or threatened breach of any obligation under this letter, in addition to any and all legal remedies, the Company shall be entitled to seek any injunctive relief available in order to prevent or restrain any such breach.  This Section 16 shall not be construed as an election of any remedy or as a waiver of any right available to the Company under this letter or the law, including the right to seek damages from you for a breach of any provision of this letter.

17. Entire Agreement - This letter contains the entire understanding between the parties relating to your employment and supersedes all prior statements, representations or agreements, whether written or oral, made to you by any representative of the Company relating to your employment.   

18. Governing Law and Venue - The validity, enforceability, construction and interpretation of this letter are governed by the laws of the State of Colorado. The parties also agree that in the event a dispute arises regarding this letter, the parties will submit to the jurisdiction of the federal and state courts of the State of Colorado. You expressly waive any objection as to jurisdiction or venue in the state and federal courts located in Denver, Colorado.

We are confident in your ability and willingness to make positive contributions in this position.  Please accept our best wishes for success.  Congratulations on your promotion!
