effective Borrowing Base). Promptly following receipt of a Borrowing Request in accordance with this Section 2.03, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of the amount of such Lender’s Loan to be made
as part of the requested Borrowing. 
  
 Section 2.04 Interest
Elections. 
  
 (a) Conversion and Continuance. Each
Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable Borrowing Request and, in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Borrowing Request. Thereafter, the Borrowers may elect to
convert such Borrowing to a different Type or to continue such Borrowing and, in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section 2.04. The Borrowers may elect different options with
respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a
separate Borrowing. 
  
 (b) Interest Election Requests. To
make an election pursuant to this Section 2.04, the Borrowers (or Borrower Representative) shall notify the Administrative Agent of such election by telephone or by a written Interest Election Request in substantially the form of Exhibit
C and signed by the Borrowers (or Borrower Representative) (a “written Interest Election Request”) by the time that a Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.03 if the Borrowers were requesting a Borrowing of
the Type resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election. Each telephonic and written Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable and each telephonic Interest Election Request shall be confirmed promptly by hand
delivery or telecopy to the Administrative Agent of a written Interest Election Request. 
  
 (c) Information in Interest Election Requests. Each telephonic and written Interest Election Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02: 
  

 26 
 CHAPARRAL ENERGY, L.L.C. 
 CREDIT AGREEMENT 

 (i) the Borrowing to which such Interest Election Request applies and, if different
options are being elected with respect to different portions thereof, the portions thereof to be allocated to each resulting Borrowing (in which case the information to be specified pursuant to Section 2.04(c)(iii) and (iv) shall be
specified for each resulting Borrowing); 
  
 (ii)
the effective date of the election made pursuant to such Interest Election Request, which shall be a Business Day; 
  
 (iii) whether the resulting Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a Eurodollar Borrowing; and 
  
 (iv) if the resulting Borrowing is a Eurodollar Borrowing,
the Interest Period to be applicable thereto after giving effect to such election, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”. 
  
 If any such Interest Election Request requests a Eurodollar Borrowing but does not specify an Interest Period, then the Borrowers shall be
deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. 
  
 (d) Notice to Lenders by the Administrative Agent. Promptly following receipt of an Interest Election Request, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of such Lender’s
portion of each resulting Borrowing. 
  
 (e) Effect of Failure
to Deliver Timely Interest Election Request and Events of Default on Interest Election. If the Borrowers fail to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to a Eurodollar Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable
thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period such Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing: (i) no outstanding Borrowing may be converted to or continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing (and any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a Eurodollar Borrowing
shall be ineffective) and (ii) unless repaid, each Eurodollar Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto. 
  
 Section 2.05 Funding of Borrowings. 
  
 (a) Funding by Lenders. Each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by
wire transfer of immediately available funds by 1:00 p.m., Chicago, Illinois time, to the account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent will make such Loans
available to the Borrowers by promptly crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to an account of the Borrowers maintained with the Administrative Agent and designated by the Borrowers (or Borrower Representative) in the applicable Borrowing
Request; provided that ABR Loans made to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.08(e) shall be remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Issuing Bank that made such LC Disbursement. 
  

 27 
 CHAPARRAL ENERGY, L.L.C. 
 CREDIT AGREEMENT 

 (b) Presumption of Funding by the Lenders. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received
notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such
share available on such date in accordance with Section 2.05(a) and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrowers a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable
Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrowers severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the
date such amount is made available to the Borrowers to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative
Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation or (ii) in the case of the Borrowers, the interest rate applicable to ABR Loans. If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall
constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing. 
  
 Section 2.06 Changes in the Aggregate Maximum Credit Amounts. 
  
 (a) Scheduled Termination of Commitments. Unless previously terminated, the Commitments shall terminate on the Maturity Date. If at any time the Aggregate Maximum Credit Amounts are terminated in full or
reduced to zero, then the Commitments shall terminate on the effective date of such termination or reduction. 
  
 (b) Optional Termination and Reduction of Aggregate Credit Amounts. 
  
 (i) The Borrowers may at any time terminate, or from time to time reduce, the Aggregate Maximum Credit
Amounts; provided that (A) each reduction of the Aggregate Maximum Credit Amounts shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $5,000,000 and (B) the Borrowers shall not terminate or reduce the
Aggregate Maximum Credit Amounts if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of the Loans in accordance with Section 3.04(c), the total Credit Exposures would exceed the total Commitments. 
  
 (ii) The Borrowers (or the Borrower Representative) shall
notify the Administrative Agent of any election to terminate or reduce the Aggregate Maximum Credit Amounts under Section 2.06(b)(i) at least three Business Days prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction, specifying such
election and the effective date thereof. Promptly following receipt of any notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each notice delivered by the Borrowers (or the Borrower Representative) pursuant to this
Section 2.06(b)(ii) shall be irrevocable. Any termination or reduction of the Aggregate Maximum Credit Amounts shall be permanent and may not be reinstated. Each reduction of the Aggregate Maximum Credit Amounts shall be made ratably among the
Lenders in accordance with each Lender’s Applicable Percentage.

 Section 2.07 Borrowing Base. 
  
 (a) Initial Borrowing Base. For the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the earlier of the
First Redetermination Date or the Mandatory Redetermination Date, the amount of the Borrowing Base shall be $235,000,000. The amount of the Borrowing Base shall remain at $235,000,000 until the earlier of the First Redetermination Date or the
Mandatory Redetermination Date in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 2.07. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrowing Base may be subject to further adjustments from time to time pursuant to Section 8.13(c) or
Section 9.12. 
  
 (b) Scheduled and Interim
Redeterminations. 
  
 (i) The Borrowing Base
shall be redetermined semi-annually in accordance with this Section 2.07 (a “Scheduled Redetermination”), and, subject to Section 2.07(e), such redetermined Borrowing Base shall become effective and applicable to the
Borrower, the Agents, each Issuing Bank and the Lenders on June 1st (or such date promptly thereafter as reasonably practicable based on the engineering and other information available to the Lenders) and December 1st (or such date
promptly thereafter as reasonably practicable based on the engineering and other information available to the Lenders) of each year, commencing December 1, 2005. 
  
 (ii) The Administrative Agent may, at the direction of the Required Lenders, by notifying the Borrowers (or
the Borrower Representative) thereof, one time during any six-month period, elect to cause the Borrowing Base to be redetermined between Scheduled Redeterminations in accordance with this Section 2.07. 
  
 (iii) The Borrowers may, not more than once between
Scheduled Redeterminations, elect to have the Borrowing Base redetermined in accordance with this Section 2.07. 
  
 (c) Scheduled and Interim Redetermination Procedure. 
  
 (i) Each Scheduled Redetermination and each Interim Redetermination shall be effectuated as follows: upon receipt by the Administrative
Agent of (A) the Reserve Report and the certificate required to be delivered by the Borrowers (or Borrower Representative), in the case of a Scheduled Redetermination, pursuant to Section 8.12(a) and (c), and, in the case of an Interim
Redetermination, pursuant to Section 8.12(b) and (c), and (B) such other reports, data and supplemental information, including, without limitation, the information provided pursuant to Section 8.12(c), as may, from time to time, be
reasonably requested by the Required Lenders (the Reserve Report, such certificate and such other reports, data and supplemental information being the “Engineering Reports”), the Administrative Agent shall evaluate the information
contained in the Engineering Reports and shall, in good faith, propose a new Borrowing Base (the “Proposed Borrowing Base”) based upon such information and such other information (including, without limitation, the status of title
information with respect to the proved Oil and Gas Properties as described in the Engineering Reports and the existence of any other Debt) as the Administrative Agent deems appropriate in its sole discretion and consistent with its normal oil and
gas lending criteria as it exists at the particular time. 
  

 29 
 CHAPARRAL ENERGY, L.L.C. 
 CREDIT AGREEMENT 

 (ii) The Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrowers (or Borrower Representative) and
the Lenders of the Proposed Borrowing Base (the “Proposed Borrowing Base Notice”): 
  
 (A) in the case of a Scheduled Redetermination (1) if the Administrative Agent shall have received the Engineering Reports required
to be delivered by the Borrowers pursuant to Section 8.12(a) and (c) in a timely and complete manner, then on or before May 15th (or such date promptly thereafter as reasonably practicable) and November 15th (or such date
promptly thereafter as reasonably practicable) of such year following the date of delivery or (2) if the Administrative Agent shall not have received the Engineering Reports required to be delivered by the Borrowers pursuant to
Section 8.12(a) and (c) in a timely and complete manner, then promptly after the Administrative Agent has received complete Engineering Reports from the Borrowers and has had a reasonable opportunity to determine the Proposed Borrowing
Base in accordance with Section 2.07(c)(i), and in any event within fifteen (15) days after the Administrative Agent has received the required Engineering Reports; and 
  
 (B) in the case of an Interim Redetermination, promptly, and in any event, within fifteen (15) days
after the Administrative Agent has received the required Engineering Reports. 
  
 (iii) Any Proposed Borrowing Base that would increase the Borrowing Base then in effect must be approved or deemed to have been approved by all of the Lenders as provided in this Section 2.07(c)(iii); and any
Proposed Borrowing Base that would decrease or maintain the Borrowing Base then in effect must be approved or be deemed to have been approved by the Required Lenders as provided in this Section 2.07(c)(iii). Upon receipt of the Proposed
Borrowing Base Notice, each Lender shall have fifteen (15) days to agree with the Proposed Borrowing Base or disagree with the Proposed Borrowing Base by proposing an alternate Borrowing Base (an “Alternate Borrowing Base”). If
at the end of such fifteen (15) days, any Lender has not communicated its approval or disapproval in writing to the Administrative Agent, such silence shall be deemed to be an approval of the Proposed Borrowing Base. If, at the end of such
15-day period, all of the Lenders, in the case of a Proposed Borrowing Base or Alternate Borrowing Base that would increase the Borrowing Base then in effect, or the Required Lenders, in the case of a Proposed Borrowing Base or Alternate Borrowing
Base that would decrease or maintain the Borrowing Base then in effect, have approved or deemed to have approved, as aforesaid, then the Proposed Borrowing Base or Alternate Borrowing Base, as applicable, shall become the new Borrowing Base,
effective on the date specified in Section 2.07(e). If, however, at the end of such 15-day period, all of the Lenders or the Required Lenders, as applicable, have not approved or deemed to have approved, as aforesaid, then the Administrative
Agent shall (A) notify the Borrowers (or Borrower Representative) of the Proposed Borrowing Base or 

  

 30 
 CHAPARRAL ENERGY, L.L.C. 
 CREDIT AGREEMENT 

	 	 
Alternate Borrowing Base and which Lenders have not approved or been deemed to have approved of the Proposed Borrowing Base or Alternate Borrowing Base and
(B) poll the Lenders to ascertain the highest Borrowing Base then acceptable to a number of Lenders sufficient to constitute the Required Lenders for purposes of this Section 2.07 and, so long as such amount does not increase the Borrowing
Base then in effect, such amount shall become the new Borrowing Base, effective on the date specified in Section 2.07(e). In no event shall the new approved Borrowing Base exceed the Aggregate Maximum Credit Amount.

  
 (d) Mandatory Redetermination. In
addition to other redeterminations of the Borrowing Base provided for herein, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Borrowing Base shall reduce immediately and automatically upon the consummation of the issuance of any
Permitted Bond Debt by an amount equal to the Debt Issuance Reduction Amount. 
  
 (e) Effectiveness of a Redetermined Borrowing Base. After a redetermined Borrowing Base is approved or is deemed to have been approved by all of the Lenders or the Required Lenders, or otherwise automatically
adjusted, as applicable, pursuant to Section 2.07(c)(iii) or Section 2.07(d), the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrowers (or Borrower Representative) and the Lenders of the amount of the redetermined Borrowing Base (the
“New Borrowing Base Notice”), and such amount shall become the new Borrowing Base, effective and applicable to the Borrowers, the Agents, each Issuing Bank and the Lenders: 
  
 (i) in the case of a Scheduled Redetermination, (A) if
the Administrative Agent shall have received the Engineering Reports required to be delivered by the Borrowers pursuant to Section 8.12(a) and (c) in a timely and complete manner, then on the June 1st or December 1st, as
applicable, following (or as set forth in) such notice, or (B) if the Administrative Agent shall not have received the Engineering Reports required to be delivered by the Borrowers pursuant to Section 8.12(a) and (c) in a timely and
complete manner, then on the Business Day next succeeding delivery of such notice; 
  
 (ii) in the case of an Interim Redetermination, on the Business Day next succeeding delivery of such notice; and 
  
 (iii) in the case of a Mandatory Redetermination, on the
date of the consummation of the issuance of any Permitted Bond Debt, regardless of the date of delivery of such notice. 
  
 Such amount shall then become the Borrowing Base until the next Scheduled Redetermination Date, the next Interim Redetermination Date, the Mandatory Redetermination Date
or the next adjustment to the Borrowing Base under Section 8.13(c) or Section 9.12, whichever occurs first. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Scheduled Redetermination or Interim Redetermination shall become effective until the New
Borrowing Base Notice related thereto is received by the Borrowers (or Borrower Representative).

 Section 2.08 Letters of Credit. 
  
 (a) General. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrowers (or Borrower Representative) may
request any Issuing Bank to issue Letters of Credit in dollars for its own account or for the account of any of its Subsidiaries, in a form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and such Issuing Bank, at any time and from time to time
during the Availability Period. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of any form of letter of credit application or other agreement submitted by the Borrowers (or Borrower
Representative) to, or entered into by the Borrowers (or Borrower Representative) with, an Issuing Bank relating to any Letter of Credit, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control. 
  
 (b) Notice of Issuance, Amendment, Renewal, Extension; Certain
Conditions. To request the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or the amendment, renewal or extension of an outstanding Letter of Credit), the Borrowers (or Borrower Representative) shall hand deliver or telecopy (or transmit by electronic
communication, if arrangements for doing so have been approved by the Issuing Bank) to any Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent (not less than three (3) Business Days in advance of the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal or
extension) a notice: (i) requesting the issuance of a Letter of Credit or identifying the outstanding Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank to be amended, renewed or extended; (ii) specifying the date of issuance, amendment, renewal
or extension (which shall be a Business Day); (iii) specifying the date on which such Letter of Credit is to expire (which shall comply with Section 2.08(c)); (iv) specifying the amount of such Letter of Credit; (v) specifying
the name and address of the beneficiary thereof and such other information as shall be necessary to prepare, amend, renew or extend such Letter of Credit; and (vi) specifying the amount of the then effective Borrowing Base, the current total
Credit Exposures (without regard to the requested Letter of Credit or the requested amendment, renewal or extension of an outstanding Letter of Credit) and the pro forma total Credit Exposures (giving effect to the requested Letter of Credit
or the requested amendment, renewal or extension of an outstanding Letter of Credit). If requested by any Issuing Bank, the Borrowers (or Borrower Representative) shall submit a letter of credit application on such Issuing Bank’s standard form
in connection with any request for a Letter of Credit. A Letter of Credit shall be issued, amended, renewed or extended only if (and with respect to each notice provided by the Borrowers (or Borrower Representative) above and any issuance,
amendment, renewal or extension of each Letter of Credit, the Borrowers shall be deemed to represent and warrant that), after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (A) the LC Exposure shall not exceed the LC Commitment
and (B) the total Credit Exposures shall not exceed the total Commitments (i.e. the lesser of the Aggregate Maximum Credit Amounts and the then effective Borrowing Base). 
  
 (c) Expiration Date. Each Letter of Credit shall expire at or prior to the close of business on the earlier of
(i) the date one year after the date of the issuance of such Letter of Credit (or, in the case of any renewal, which renewal may be provided for in the initial Letter of Credit, or extension thereof, one year after such renewal or extension)
and (ii) the date that is five Business Days prior to the Maturity Date. 
  

 32 
 CHAPARRAL ENERGY, L.L.C. 
 CREDIT AGREEMENT 

 (d) Participations. By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment to an existing Letter
of Credit increasing the amount thereof) and without any further action on the part of the Issuing Bank that issues such Letter of Credit or the Lenders, each Issuing Bank that issues a Letter of Credit hereunder hereby grants to each Lender, and
each Lender hereby acquires from such Issuing Bank, a participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. In consideration and in
furtherance of the foregoing, each Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of any Issuing Bank that issues a Letter of Credit hereunder, such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of each
LC Disbursement made by such Issuing Bank and not reimbursed by the Borrowers on the date due as provided in Section 2.08(e), or of any reimbursement payment required to be refunded to the Borrowers for any reason. Each Lender acknowledges and
agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this Section 2.08(d) in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment, renewal or
extension of any Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a Default or reduction or termination of the Commitments, and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever. 

 
 (e) Reimbursement. If any Issuing Bank shall make any LC
Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank, the Borrowers shall reimburse such LC Disbursement by paying to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to such LC Disbursement not later than 12:00 noon, Chicago, Illinois
time, on the date that such LC Disbursement is made, if the Borrowers (or Borrower Representative) shall have received notice of such LC Disbursement prior to 10:00 a.m., Chicago, Illinois time, on such date, or, if such notice has not been received
by the Borrowers (or Borrower Representative) prior to such time on such date, then not later than 12:00 noon, Chicago, Illinois time, on (i) the Business Day that the Borrowers (or Borrower Representative) receive such notice, if such notice
is received prior to 10:00 a.m., Chicago, Illinois time, on the day of receipt, or (ii) the Business Day immediately following the day that the Borrowers (or Borrower Representative) receive such notice, if such notice is not received
prior to such time on the day of receipt; provided that if such LC Disbursement is not less than $1,000,000, the Borrowers shall, subject to the conditions to Borrowing set forth herein, be deemed to have requested, and the Borrowers do
hereby request under such circumstances, that such payment be financed with an ABR Borrowing in an equivalent amount and, to the extent so financed, the Borrowers’ obligation to make such payment shall be discharged and replaced by the
resulting ABR Borrowing. If the Borrowers fail to make such payment when due, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the applicable LC Disbursement, the payment then due from the Borrowers in respect thereof and such Lender’s
Applicable Percentage thereof. Promptly following receipt of such notice, each Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent its Applicable Percentage of the payment then due from the Borrowers, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.05
with respect to Loans made by such Lender (and Section 2.05 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the Issuing Bank that issued such Letter of Credit
the amounts so received by it from the Lenders. Promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any payment from the Borrowers pursuant to this Section 2.08(e), the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the Issuing
Bank that issued such Letter of Credit or, to the extent that Lenders have made payments pursuant to this Section 2.08(e) to reimburse such 

  

 33 
 CHAPARRAL ENERGY, L.L.C. 
 CREDIT AGREEMENT 

 
Issuing Bank, then to such Lenders and such Issuing Bank as their interests may appear. Any payment made by a Lender pursuant to this Section 2.08(e) to
reimburse any Issuing Bank for any LC Disbursement (other than the funding of ABR Loans as contemplated above) shall not constitute a Loan and shall not relieve the Borrowers of their joint and several obligation to reimburse such LC Disbursement.

  
 (f) Obligations Absolute. The Borrowers’
obligation to reimburse LC Disbursements as provided in Section 2.08(e) shall be joint and several, absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all
circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit, any Letter of Credit Agreement or this Agreement, or any term or provision therein, (ii) any draft or other document presented
under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (iii) payment by any Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank
against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit or any Letter of Credit Agreement, or (iv) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the
foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section 2.08(f), constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, any Borrower’s obligations hereunder. Neither the Administrative Agent, the Lenders
nor any Issuing Bank, nor any of their Related Parties shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or transfer of any Letter of Credit or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder
(irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit
(including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of any Issuing Bank; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed
to excuse any Issuing Bank from liability to the Borrowers to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Borrowers to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by
the Borrowers that are caused by such Issuing Bank’s failure to exercise care when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree that, in the
absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of any Issuing Bank (as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction), such Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have exercised all requisite care in each such determination. In
furtherance of the foregoing and without limiting the generality thereof, the parties agree that, with respect to documents presented which appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank
that issued such Letter of Credit may, in its sole discretion, either accept and make payment upon such documents without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, or refuse to accept and make
payment upon such documents if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit. 
  
 (g) Disbursement Procedures. Each Issuing Bank shall, promptly following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a
demand for payment under a Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank. Such Issuing Bank shall promptly notify (prior to making any such disbursement) the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers (or Borrower 

  

 34 
 CHAPARRAL ENERGY, L.L.C. 
 CREDIT AGREEMENT 

 
Representative) by telephone (confirmed by telecopy) of such demand for payment and whether such Issuing Bank will make an LC Disbursement thereunder;
provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the Borrowers of their joint and several obligation to reimburse such Issuing Bank and the Lenders with respect to any such LC Disbursement. 
  
 (h) Interim Interest. If any Issuing Bank shall make any LC
Disbursement, then, until the Borrowers shall have reimbursed such Issuing Bank for such LC Disbursement (either with its own funds or a Borrowing under Section 2.08(e)), the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and
including the date such LC Disbursement is made to but excluding the date that the Borrowers reimburse such LC Disbursement, at the rate per annum then applicable to ABR Loans. Interest accrued pursuant to this Section 2.08(h) shall be for the
account of such Issuing Bank, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Lender pursuant to Section 2.08(e) to reimburse such Issuing Bank shall be for the account of such Lender to the extent of such payment.

  
 (i) Replacement of an Issuing Bank. Any Issuing Bank
may be replaced or resign at any time by written agreement among the Borrowers (or Borrower Representative), the Administrative Agent, such resigning or replaced Issuing Bank and, in the case of a replacement, the successor Issuing Bank. The
Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders of any such resignation or replacement of an Issuing Bank. At the time any such resignation or replacement shall become effective, the Borrowers shall pay all unpaid fees accrued for the account of the
resigning or replaced Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 3.05(b). In the case of the replacement of an Issuing Bank, from and after the effective date of such replacement, (i) the successor Issuing Bank shall have all the rights and
obligations of the replaced Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit to be issued thereafter and (ii) references herein to the term “Issuing Bank” shall be deemed to refer to such successor or to any
previous Issuing Bank, or to such successor and all previous Issuing Banks, as the context shall require. After the resignation or replacement of an Issuing Bank hereunder, the resigning or replaced Issuing Bank shall remain a party hereto and shall
continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Bank under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such resignation or replacement, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit.

  
 (j) Cash Collateralization. If (i) any Event of
Default shall occur and be continuing and the Borrowers (or Borrower Representative) receive notice from the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders demanding the deposit of cash collateral pursuant to this Section 2.08(j), or
(ii) the Borrowers are required to pay to the Administrative Agent the excess attributable to an LC Exposure in connection with any prepayment pursuant to Section 3.04(c), then the Borrowers shall deposit, in an account with the
Administrative Agent, in the name of the Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the Lenders, an amount in cash equal to, in the case of an Event of Default, the LC Exposure, and in the case of a payment required by Section 3.04(c), the
amount of such excess as provided in Section 3.04(c), as of such date plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon; provided that the obligation to deposit such cash collateral shall become effective immediately, and such deposit shall
become immediately due and payable, without demand or other notice of any kind, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to any Credit Party described in Section 10.01(g) or Section 10.01(h). The Borrowers hereby grant to
the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of each Issuing Bank and the 

  

 35 
 CHAPARRAL ENERGY, L.L.C. 
 CREDIT AGREEMENT 

 
Lenders, an exclusive first priority and continuing perfected security interest in and Lien on such account and all cash, checks, drafts, certificates and
instruments, if any, from time to time deposited or held in such account, all deposits or wire transfers made thereto, any and all investments purchased with funds deposited in such account, all interest, dividends, cash, instruments, financial
assets and other Property from time to time received, receivable or otherwise payable in respect of, or in exchange for, any or all of the foregoing, and all proceeds, products, accessions, rents, profits, income and benefits therefrom, and any
substitutions and replacements therefor. The Borrowers’ joint and several obligation to deposit amounts pursuant to this Section 2.08(j) shall be absolute and unconditional, without regard to whether any beneficiary of any such Letter of
Credit has attempted to draw down all or a portion of such amount under the terms of a Letter of Credit, and, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, shall not be subject to any defense or be affected by a right of set-off, counterclaim
or recoupment which any Credit Party may now or hereafter have against any such beneficiary, any Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders or any other Person for any reason whatsoever. Such deposit shall be held as collateral securing the
payment and performance of the Credit Parties’ obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents in a “securities account” (within the meaning of Article 8 of the Uniform Commercial Code in effect from time to time in the
State of Texas, the “UCC”) over which the Administrative Agent shall have “control” (within the meaning of the UCC). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrowers (or Borrower Representative) may direct the Administrative
Agent and the “securities intermediary” (within the meaning of the UCC) to invest amounts credited to the securities account, at the Borrowers’ risk and expense, in Investments described in Section 9.05(c) through (f). Interest
or profits, if any, on such investments shall accumulate in such account. Moneys in such account shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to reimburse, on a pro rata basis, each Issuing Bank for LC Disbursements for which it has not been
reimbursed and, to the extent not so applied, shall be held for the satisfaction of the reimbursement obligations of the Borrowers for the LC Exposure at such time or, if the maturity of the Loans has been accelerated, be applied to satisfy other
obligations of the Credit Parties under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. If the Borrowers are required to provide an amount of cash collateral hereunder as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, and the Borrowers are not
otherwise required to pay to the Administrative Agent the excess attributable to an LC Exposure in connection with any prepayment pursuant to Section 3.04(c), then such amount (to the extent not applied as aforesaid), which shall include
interest or profits, if any, on investments that may accumulate in such account as provided hereinabove, shall be returned to the Borrowers within three Business Days after all Events of Default have been cured or waived. 
  
 Section 2.09 Reliance on Notices; Appointment of Borrower
Representative. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall be fully protected in relying upon, any Borrowing Request, Interest Election Request, request for Letter of Credit or similar notice believed by the
Administrative Agent to be genuine. The Administrative Agent may assume that each Person executing and delivering any notice in accordance herewith was duly authorized, unless the responsible individual acting thereon for the Administrative Agent
has actual knowledge to the contrary. Parent and each Borrower hereby designates Chaparral as its representative and agent on its behalf for the purposes of issuing Borrowing Requests, Interest Election Requests, giving instructions with respect to
the disbursement of the proceeds of the Loans, selecting interest rate options, requesting Letters of Credit, giving and receiving all other 
  

 36 
 CHAPARRAL ENERGY, L.L.C. 
 CREDIT AGREEMENT 

 
notices and consents hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents and taking all other actions (including in respect of compliance with covenants) on
behalf of any Credit Party under the Loan Documents. Borrower Representative hereby accepts such appointment. The Administrative Agent and each Lender may regard any notice or other communication pursuant to any Loan Document from Borrower
Representative as a notice or communication from all Credit Parties, and may give any notice or communication required or permitted to be given to any Credit Party hereunder to Borrower Representative on behalf of such Credit Party. Parent and each
Borrower agree that each notice, election, representation and warranty, covenant, agreement and undertaking made on its behalf by Borrower Representative shall be deemed for all purposes to have been made by such Credit Party and shall be binding
upon and enforceable against such Credit Party to the same extent as if the same had been made directly by such Credit Party. 
  
 ARTICLE III 
 PAYMENTS OF PRINCIPAL
AND INTEREST; PREPAYMENTS; FEES 
  
 Section 3.01 Repayment
of Loans. The Borrowers hereby unconditionally, jointly and severally, promise to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Loan on the Termination Date. 
  
 Section 3.02 Interest. 
  
 (a) ABR Loans. The Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing shall bear
interest at the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin, but in no event to exceed the Highest Lawful Rate. 
  
 (b) Eurodollar Loans. The Loans comprising each Eurodollar Borrowing shall bear interest at the Adjusted LIBO Rate for the Interest Period in
effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Margin, but in no event to exceed the Highest Lawful Rate. 
  
 (c) Post-Default Rate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any principal of or interest on any Loan or any fee or other amount payable by any Credit
Party hereunder or under any other Loan Document is not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, such overdue amount shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to two percent
(2%) plus the rate applicable to ABR Loans as provided in Section 3.02(a), but in no event to exceed the Highest Lawful Rate. 
  
 (d) Interest Payment Dates. Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan and on the
Termination Date; provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to Section 3.02(c) shall be payable on demand, (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan (other than an optional prepayment of an ABR Loan prior
to the Termination Date), accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment, and (iii) in the event of any conversion of any Eurodollar Loan prior to the end of the current
Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion. 
  

 37 
 CHAPARRAL ENERGY, L.L.C. 
 CREDIT AGREEMENT 

 (e) Interest Rate Computations. All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of
360 days, unless such computation would exceed the Highest Lawful Rate, in which case interest shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year), except that interest computed by reference to the Alternate Base Rate
at times when the Alternate Base Rate is based on the Prime Rate shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year), and in each case shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but
excluding the last day). The applicable Alternate Base Rate, Adjusted LIBO Rate or LIBO Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and be binding upon the parties hereto.

  
 Section 3.03 Alternate Rate of Interest. If prior to
the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurodollar Borrowing: 
  
 (a) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the LIBO Rate for such Interest Period; or

  
 (b) the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required
Lenders that the Adjusted LIBO Rate or LIBO Rate, as applicable, for such Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making or maintaining their Loans included in such Borrowing for such Interest Period;

  
 then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrowers (or
Borrower Representative) and the Lenders by telephone or telecopy as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrowers (or Borrower Representative) and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to
such notice no longer exist, (i) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a Eurodollar Borrowing shall be ineffective, and (ii) if any Borrowing Request requests a
Eurodollar Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be made as an ABR Borrowing. 
  
 Section 3.04 Prepayments. 
  
 (a) Optional
Prepayments. The Borrowers shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing in whole or in part, subject to prior notice in accordance with Section 3.04(b).

Borrower Representative) shall notify the Administrative Agent by telephone (confirmed by telecopy) of any prepayment hereunder (i) in the case of prepayment of a Eurodollar Borrowing, not later than 12:00 noon, Chicago, Illinois time, three
Business Days before the date of prepayment, or (ii) in the case of prepayment of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 12:00 noon, Chicago, Illinois time, on the Business Day of prepayment. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify
the prepayment date and the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid. Promptly following receipt of any such notice relating to a Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each
partial prepayment of any Borrowing shall be in an amount that would be permitted in the case of an advance of a Borrowing of the same Type as provided in Section 2.02. Each prepayment of a Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans
included in the prepaid Borrowing. Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the extent required by Section 3.02.

 CHAPARRAL ENERGY, L.L.C. 
 CREDIT AGREEMENT 

 (c) Mandatory Prepayments. 
  
 (i) If, after giving effect to any termination or reduction of the Aggregate Maximum Credit Amount pursuant
to Section 2.06(b), the total Credit Exposures exceeds the total Commitments, then the Borrowers shall (A) prepay the Borrowings on the date of such termination or reduction in an aggregate principal amount equal to such excess, and
(B) if any excess remains after prepaying all of the Borrowings as a result of an LC Exposure, pay to the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders an amount equal to such excess to be held as cash collateral as provided in
Section 2.08(j). 
  
 (ii) Upon any
redetermination of or adjustment to the amount of the Borrowing Base in accordance with Section 2.07 (other than Section 2.07(d)) or Section 8.13(c), if the total Credit Exposures exceeds the redetermined or adjusted Borrowing Base,
then the Borrowers (or Borrower Representative) shall, within 10 days following receipt of the New Borrowing Base Notice in accordance with Section 2.07(e) or the date the adjustment occurs, provide written notice (the “Election
Notice”) to the Administrative Agent stating the action which the Borrowers propose to take to remedy such excess, and the Borrowers shall thereafter, at their option, either (A) within 30 days following the delivery of the Election
Notice, prepay the Borrowings in an aggregate principal amount equal to such excess, (B) eliminate such excess by making six (6) consecutive mandatory prepayments of principal on the Loan, each of which shall be in the amount of 1/6th of
the amount of such excess, commencing on the first Monthly Date following the delivery of the Election Notice, and continuing on each Monthly Date thereafter, (C) within 90 days following the delivery of the Election Notice, submit (and pledge
as collateral) additional Oil and Gas Properties owned by the Borrowers for consideration in connection with the determination of the Borrowing Base which the Administrative Agent and the Lenders deem sufficient in their sole discretion to eliminate
such excess, or (D) within 90 days following the delivery of the Election Notice, eliminate such excess through a combination of prepayments and submission of additional Oil and Gas Properties as set forth in subclauses (A) and
(C) above. If any excess remains after prepaying all of the Borrowings as a result of an LC Exposure, then the Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders an amount equal to such excess to be held as cash collateral
as provided in Section 2.08(j). The Borrowers shall be jointly and severally obligated to deposit such cash collateral amount within five (5) days following its receipt of the New Borrowing Base Notice in accordance with
Section 2.07(e) or the date the adjustment occurs; provided that all payments required to be made pursuant to this Section 3.04(c)(ii) must be made on or prior to the Termination Date. 
  
 (iii) Upon any adjustments to the Borrowing Base pursuant to
Section 2.07(d) or Section 9.12, if the total Credit Exposures exceeds the Borrowing Base as adjusted, then the Borrowers shall (A) prepay the Borrowings in an aggregate principal 

  

 39 
 CHAPARRAL ENERGY, L.L.C. 
 CREDIT AGREEMENT 

 
amount equal to such excess, and (B) if any excess remains after prepaying all of the Borrowings as a result of an LC Exposure, pay to the
Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders an amount equal to such excess to be held as cash collateral as provided in Section 2.08(j). The Borrowers shall be jointly and severally obligated to make such prepayment and/or deposit of cash
collateral on the date the adjustment occurs or the date it receives cash proceeds as a result of such disposition, as applicable; provided that all payments required to be made pursuant to this Section 3.04(c)(iii) must be made on or
prior to the Termination Date. 
  
 (iv) Each
prepayment of Borrowings pursuant to this Section 3.04(c) shall be applied, first, ratably to any ABR Borrowings then outstanding, and, second, to any Eurodollar Borrowings then outstanding, and if more than one Eurodollar Borrowing is then
outstanding, to each such Eurodollar Borrowing in order of priority beginning with the Eurodollar Borrowing with the least number of days remaining in the Interest Period applicable thereto and ending with the Eurodollar Borrowing with the most
number of days remaining in the Interest Period applicable thereto. 
  
 (v) Each prepayment of Borrowings pursuant to this Section 3.04(c) shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the prepaid Borrowings. Prepayments pursuant to this Section 3.04(c) shall be accompanied
by accrued interest to the extent required by Section 3.02. 
  
 (d) No Premium or Penalty. Prepayments permitted or required under this Section 3.04 shall be without premium or penalty, except as required under Section 5.02. 
  
 Section 3.05 Fees. 
  
 (a) Commitment Fees. The Borrowers jointly and severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a commitment fee,
which shall accrue at the applicable Commitment Fee Rate on the average daily amount of the unused amount of the Commitment of such Lender during the period from and including the date of this Agreement to but excluding the Termination Date. Accrued
commitment fees shall be payable in arrears on the last day of March, June, September and December of each year and on the Termination Date, commencing on the first such date to occur after the date hereof. All commitment fees shall be computed on
the basis of a year of 360 days, unless such computation would exceed the Highest Lawful Rate, in which case interest shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year), and shall be payable for the actual number of
days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). 
  
 (b) Letter of Credit Fees. The Borrowers jointly and severally agree to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a participation fee with respect to its participations in Letters of Credit, which shall
equal a percentage (being the same Applicable Margin used to determine the interest rate applicable to Eurodollar Loans) of the stated amount of each such Letter of Credit during the period from and including the date of this Agreement to but
excluding the later of the date on which such Lender’s Commitment terminates and the date on which such Lender ceases to have any LC Exposure, provided that in no event shall such fee be less than $300, (ii) to each Issuing Bank,
for its own account, a fronting fee equal to 0.125% 

  

 40 
 CHAPARRAL ENERGY, L.L.C. 
 CREDIT AGREEMENT 

 
per annum of the stated amount of each such Letter of Credit during the period from and including the date of this Agreement to but excluding the later of
the date of termination of the Commitments and the date on which there ceases to be any LC Exposure, and (iii) to each Issuing Bank, for its own account, its standard and customary fees with respect to the issuance, amendment, renewal or
extension of any Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank or processing of drawings thereunder. Participation fees and fronting fees with respect to any Letter of Credit shall be payable at the time of issuance of such Letter of Credit. Any
other fees payable to an Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section 3.05(b) shall be payable within 10 days after demand. All participation fees and fronting fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, unless such computation would
exceed the Highest Lawful Rate, in which case interest shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year), and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last
day). 
  
 (c) Administrative Agent Fees. The Borrowers
jointly and severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, fees payable in the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon between or among the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent, including the fees set forth in any
separate fee letter. 
  
 Section 3.06 Joint and
Several Liability; Rights of Contribution. 
  
 (a) Each
Borrower states and acknowledges that: (i) pursuant to this Agreement, the Borrowers desire to utilize their borrowing potential on a combined basis to the same extent possible if they were merged into a single corporate entity; (ii) each
Borrower has determined that it will benefit specifically and materially from the advances of credit contemplated by this Agreement; (iii) it is both a condition precedent to the obligations of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereunder
and a desire of each Borrower that each Borrower execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders this Agreement; and (iv) each Borrower has requested and bargained for the structure and terms of and security for the Borrowings
contemplated by this Agreement. 
  
 (b) Each Borrower hereby
irrevocably and unconditionally: (i) agrees that it is jointly and severally liable to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders for the full and prompt payment and performance of the obligations of each Borrower under this Agreement that may
specify that a particular Borrower is responsible for a given payment or performance; (ii) agrees to fully and promptly perform all of its obligations hereunder with respect to each advance of credit hereunder as if such advance had been made
directly to it; and (iii) agrees as a primary obligation to indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender, on demand, for and against any loss incurred by the Administrative Agent or any Lender as a result of any of the obligations of any
Borrower (the “subject Borrower”) being or becoming void, voidable, unenforceable or ineffective for any reason whatsoever, whether or not known to the subject Borrower or any Person, the amount of such loss being the amount which
the Administrative Agent or the Lenders (or any of them) would otherwise have been entitled to recover from the Borrowers. 
  
 (c) It is the intent of each Borrower that the indebtedness, obligations and liabilities hereunder of no one of them be subject to challenge on any basis
related to any federal or state law dealing with fraudulent conveyances or any other law related to transfers for less 

  

 41 
 CHAPARRAL ENERGY, L.L.C. 
 CREDIT AGREEMENT 

 
than fair or reasonably equivalent value. Accordingly, as of the date hereof, the liability of each Borrower under this Section 3.06 together with all
of its other liabilities to all Persons as of the date hereof and as of any other date on which a transfer is deemed to occur by virtue of this Agreement, calculated in amounts sufficient to pay its probable net liabilities on its existing
indebtedness as the same become absolute and matured (“Dated Liabilities”) is and is to be, less than the amount of the aggregate of a fair valuation of its property as of such corresponding date (“Dated Assets”).
To this end, each Borrower under this Section 3.06 (i) grants to and recognizes in each other Borrower ratably, rights of subrogation and contribution in the amount, if any, by which the Dated Assets of such Borrower, but for the aggregate
of subrogation and contribution in its favor recognized herein, would exceed the Dated Liabilities of such Borrower, and (ii) acknowledges receipt of and recognizes its right to subrogation and contribution ratably from the other Borrowers in
the amount, if any, by which the Dated Liabilities of such Borrower, but for the aggregate of subrogation and contribution in its favor recognized herein, would exceed the Dated Assets of such Borrower under this Section 3.06. In recognizing
the value of the Dated Assets and the Dated Liabilities, it is understood that each Borrower will recognize, to at least the same extent of their aggregate recognition of liabilities hereunder, their rights to subrogation and contribution hereunder.
It is a material objective of this Section 3.06 that each Borrower recognizes rights to subrogation and contribution rather than be deemed to be insolvent (or in contemplation thereof) by reason of an arbitrary interpretation of its joint and
several obligations hereunder. 
  
 (d) Each Borrower agrees and
acknowledges that the present structure of the credit facilities detailed in this Agreement is based in part upon the financial and other information presently known to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders regarding each Borrower, the corporate
or other organizational structure of each Borrower, and the present financial condition of each Borrower. Upon or after the occurrence of an Event of Default and so long as it is continuing, each Borrower hereby agrees that the Required Lenders
shall have (in addition to any other right provided for in the Loan Documents) the right, in their sole credit judgment, to require that any or all of the following changes be made to these credit facilities: (i) restrict loans and advances
between the Borrowers, and (ii) establish such other procedures (in consultation with the Borrowers) as shall be reasonably deemed by the Required Lenders to be useful in tracking where Loans are made under this Agreement and the source of
payments received by the Lenders on such Loans. 
  
 ARTICLE IV

 PAYMENTS; PRO RATA TREATMENT; SHARING OF SET-OFFS. 
  
 Section 4.01 Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Set-offs. 
  
 (a) Payments by the Borrowers. The Borrowers shall make each payment
required to be made by them hereunder (whether of principal, interest, fees or reimbursement of LC Disbursements, or of amounts payable under Section 5.01, Section 5.02, Section 5.03 or otherwise) prior to 12:00 noon, Chicago,
Illinois time, on the date when due, in dollars that constitute immediately available funds, without defense, deduction, recoupment, set-off or counterclaim. Fees, once paid, shall not be refundable under any circumstances absent manifest error
(e.g., as a result of a clerical mistake). Any amounts received after such time on any date 

  

 42 
 CHAPARRAL ENERGY, L.L.C. 
 CREDIT AGREEMENT 

 
may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest
thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent at its offices specified in Section 12.01, except payments to be made directly to an Issuing Bank as expressly provided herein and except that payments pursuant to
Section 5.01, Section 5.02, Section 5.03 and Section 12.03 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other Person to
the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment
accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. All payments hereunder shall be made in dollars. 
  
 (b) Application of Insufficient Payments. If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully
all amounts of principal, unreimbursed LC Disbursements, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, towards payment of interest and fees then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in
accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties, and (ii) second, towards payment of principal and unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the
amounts of principal and unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due to such parties. 
  
 (c) Sharing of Payments by Lenders. If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans or
participations in LC Disbursements resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other
Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans and participations in LC Disbursements of other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments
shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans and participations in LC Disbursements; provided that (i) if any such participations are
purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this
Section 4.01(c) shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by the Borrowers pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a
participation in any of its Loans or participations in LC Disbursements to any assignee or participant, other than to any Credit Party or Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this Section 4.01(c) shall apply). The Borrowers consent
to the foregoing and agree, to the extent they may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against any Borrower rights of set-off and counterclaim with
respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of such Borrower in the amount of such participation. 
  
 Section 4.02 Presumption of Payment by the Borrowers. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrowers (or Borrower
Representative) prior to the 
  

 43 
 CHAPARRAL ENERGY, L.L.C. 
 CREDIT AGREEMENT 

 
date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or any Issuing Bank that the Borrowers will not make such
payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrowers have made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount due.
In such event, if the Borrowers have not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender
or such Issuing Bank with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate
determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. 
  
 Section 4.03 Certain Deductions by the Administrative Agent. If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to
Section 2.05(b), Section 2.08(d), Section 2.08(e) or Section 4.02 then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative
Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid. 
  
 Section 4.04 Disposition of Proceeds The Security Instruments contain an assignment by the Credit Parties (as applicable) unto and in favor of the
Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders and Secured Swap Providers of all of each Credit Party’s, as applicable, interest in and to production and all proceeds attributable thereto that may be produced from or allocated to the
Mortgaged Property or, with respect to the Pledge Agreements, proceeds attributable to the pledge of Equity Interests thereunder. The Security Instruments further provide in general for the application of such proceeds to the satisfaction of the
Indebtedness and other obligations described therein and secured thereby. Notwithstanding the assignment contained in such Security Instruments, until the occurrence of an Event of Default, (a) the Administrative Agent and the Lenders agree
that they will neither notify the purchaser or purchasers of such production nor take any other action to cause such proceeds attributable to such production to be remitted to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders, but the Lenders will instead
permit such proceeds to be paid to the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries and (b) the Lenders hereby authorize the Administrative Agent to take such actions as may be necessary to cause such proceeds attributable to production to be paid to the
Borrowers and/or such Subsidiaries.

 ARTICLE V 
 INCREASED COSTS; BREAK FUNDING PAYMENTS; TAXES; ILLEGALITY 
  
 Section 5.01 Increased Costs. 
  
 (a) Eurodollar Changes in Law. If any Change in Law shall: 
  
 (i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of,
deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate); or 
  
 (ii) impose on any Lender or the London interbank market any other condition affecting this Agreement or Eurodollar Loans made by such
Lender; 
  
 and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost
to such Lender of making or maintaining any Eurodollar Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then the
Borrowers will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered. 
  
 (b) Capital Requirements. If any Lender or any Issuing Bank determines that any Change in Law regarding capital requirements has or would have the
effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made by, or
participations in Letters of Credit held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank, to a level below that which such Lender or such Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company could have
achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from
time to time the Borrowers will pay to such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company for
any such reduction suffered. 
  
 (c) Certificates. A
certificate of a Lender or any Issuing Bank setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or such Issuing Bank or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in Section 5.01(a) or (b) and reasonably
detailed calculations therefor shall be delivered to the Borrowers (or Borrower Representative) and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrowers shall pay such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on
any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof. 
  
 (d) Effect of Failure or Delay in Requesting Compensation. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or any Issuing Bank to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 5.01 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s
or such Issuing Bank’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrowers shall not be required to compensate a Lender or an 

  

 45 
 CHAPARRAL ENERGY, L.L.C. 
 CREDIT AGREEMENT 

 
Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section 5.01 for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender or such
Issuing Bank, as the case may be, notifies the Borrowers (or Borrower Representative) of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s intention to claim compensation
therefor; provided further that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

  
 Section 5.02 Break Funding Payments. In the event
of (a) the payment of any principal of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any Eurodollar Loan into an ABR Loan other
than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Eurodollar Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto, or (d) the assignment of any
Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Borrowers (or Borrower Representative) pursuant to Section 5.04(b), then, in any such event, the Borrowers shall compensate
each Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event. In the case of a Eurodollar Loan, such loss, cost or expense to any Lender shall be deemed to include an amount determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of
(i) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred, at the Adjusted LIBO Rate that would have been applicable to such Loan, for the period from the date of such event to the last
day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Loan), over (ii) the amount of interest which would accrue on such
principal amount for such period at the interest rate which such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for dollar deposits of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the eurodollar market. A certificate of
any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 5.02 and reasonably detailed calculations therefor shall be delivered to the Borrowers (or Borrower Representative) and shall be
conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrowers shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof. 
  
 Section 5.03 Taxes. 
  
 (a) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Credit Party under any Loan Document shall be made free
and clear of and without deduction for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes; provided that if any Credit Party shall be required to deduct any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes from such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be
increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 5.03(a)), the Agent, Lender or Issuing Bank (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the
sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) Parent or such Borrower shall or shall cause such other Credit Party to make such deductions and (iii) Parent or such Borrower shall or shall cause such other Credit Party
to pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

Other Taxes paid by such Agent, such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, on or with respect to any payment by or on account of any obligation of any Borrower hereunder (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on
or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 5.03) and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or
asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate of such Agent, a Lender or an Issuing Bank as to the amount of such payment or liability under this Section 5.03 shall be delivered to the Borrowers (or Borrower Representative) and
shall be conclusive absent manifest error. 
  
 (d) Evidence of
Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by a Credit Party to a Governmental Authority, the Borrowers (or Borrower Representative) shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a
certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. 
  
 (e) Foreign Lenders. Any Foreign Lender that is entitled to an
exemption from or reduction of withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which a Borrower is located, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall
deliver to the Borrowers (or Borrower Representative) (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably
requested by the Borrowers (or Borrower Representative) as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate. 
  
 (f) Tax Refunds. If an Agent or a Lender determines, in its reasonable discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to
which it has been indemnified by the Borrowers or with respect to which the Borrowers have paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 5.03, it shall pay over such refund to the Borrowers (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made,
or additional amounts paid, by the Borrowers under this Section 5.03 with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of such Agent or such Lender and without interest (other than any
interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided, that the Borrowers, upon the request of such Agent or such Lender, jointly and severally agree to repay the amount paid over to the Borrowers (plus
any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to such Agent or such Lender in the event such Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This Section 5.03
shall not be construed to require any Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes which it deems confidential) to any Borrower or any other Person.

 Section 5.04 Mitigation Obligations. 
  
 (a) Designation of Different Lending Office. If any Lender requests
compensation under Section 5.01, or if any Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 5.03, then such Lender shall use reasonable
efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or
assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 5.01 or Section 5.03, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not
otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrowers hereby jointly and severally agree to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment. 
  
 (b) Replacement of Lenders. If (i) any Lender advises the
Administrative Agent that the Adjusted LIBO Rate or LIBO Rate, as applicable, will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining its Loans pursuant to Section 3.03, (ii) any Lender requests compensation
under Section 5.01, (iii) any Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 5.03, (iv) it becomes unlawful for any Lender to honor
its obligation to make or maintain Eurodollar Loans pursuant to Section 5.05, (v) any Lender defaults in its obligation to fund Loans hereunder, or (vi) any Lender has not approved (or is not deemed to have approved) an increase in
the Borrowing Base proposed by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 2.07(c)(iii), then the Borrowers may, at their sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, (A) require such Lender to assign
and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in Section 12.04(b)), all its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee
may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment) or (B) require such Lender to be removed as a Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with a corresponding reduction in the Aggregate Maximum Credit Amount equal to
the Maximum Credit Amount of such Lender; provided that (1) if a Lender is removed as a Lender hereunder, the Borrowers have paid such Lender all amounts due and owing under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including, without
limitation, all principal, accrued interest, fees and breakage costs, (2) in the case of a required assignment of interest, the Borrowers shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, which consent shall not
unreasonably be withheld, (3) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans and participations in LC Disbursements, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to
it hereunder, from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrowers (in the case of all other amounts) and (4) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation
under Section 5.01 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 5.03, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments. A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment and delegation if, prior
thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrowers to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

 Section 5.05 Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, in the event
that it becomes unlawful for any Lender or its applicable lending office to honor its obligation to make or maintain Eurodollar Loans either generally or having a particular Interest Period hereunder, then (a) such Lender shall promptly notify
the Borrowers (or Borrower Representative) and the Administrative Agent thereof and such Lender’s obligation to make such Eurodollar Loans shall be suspended (the “Affected Loans”) until such time as such Lender may again make
and maintain such Eurodollar Loans and (b) all Affected Loans which would otherwise be made by such Lender shall be made instead as ABR Loans (and, if such Lender so requests by notice to the Borrowers (or Borrower Representative) and the
Administrative Agent, all Affected Loans of such Lender then outstanding shall be automatically converted into ABR Loans on the date specified by such Lender in such notice) and, to the extent that Affected Loans are so made as (or converted into)
ABR Loans, all payments of principal which would otherwise be applied to such Lender’s Affected Loans shall be applied instead to its ABR Loans.

misstatements of fact or omit to state material facts necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided that, with respect to projected financial information,
prospect information, geological and geophysical data and engineering projections, Parent and the Borrowers jointly and severally represent only that such information was prepared in good faith based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable at the
time. To the knowledge of Parent and the Borrowers, there is no fact peculiar to Parent, any Borrower or any Subsidiary which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect or in the future is reasonably likely to have a Material
Adverse Effect and which has not been set forth in this Agreement or the Loan Documents or the other documents, certificates and statements furnished to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders by or on behalf of Parent, any Borrower or any
Subsidiary prior to, or on, the date hereof in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby. There are no statements or conclusions known to Parent or any Borrower in any Reserve Report which are based upon or include misleading information
or fail to take into account material information regarding the matters reported therein, it being understood that projections concerning volumes attributable to the Oil and Gas Properties and production and cost estimates contained in each Reserve
Report are necessarily based upon professional opinions, estimates and projections and that the Credit Parties do not warrant that such opinions, estimates and projections will ultimately prove to have been accurate. 
  
 Section 7.13 Insurance. Parent and the Borrowers have, and have
caused all their Subsidiaries to have, (a) all insurance policies sufficient for the compliance by each of them with all material Governmental Requirements and all material agreements and (b) insurance coverage in at least amounts and
against such risk (including, without limitation, public liability) that are usually insured against by companies similarly situated and engaged in the same or a similar business for the assets and operations of the Credit Parties. The
Administrative Agent and the Lenders have been named as additional insureds in respect of such liability insurance policies and the Administrative Agent has been named as loss payee with respect to Property loss insurance. 
  
 Section 7.14 Restriction on Liens. Neither Parent, any Borrower
nor any of their Subsidiaries is a party to any material agreement or arrangement, or subject to any order, judgment, writ or decree, which either restricts or purports to restrict its ability to grant Liens to the Administrative Agent and the
Lenders on or in respect of their Properties to secure the Indebtedness and the Loan Documents. 
  
 Section 7.15 Subsidiaries. Except as set forth on Schedule 7.15, (a) the Borrowers have no Subsidiaries, (b) each Subsidiary
is a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary and (c) none of the Borrowers nor any Subsidiary has any Foreign Subsidiaries. Parent has no direct Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries other than the Borrowers.

 Section 7.16 Location of Business and Offices. Parent’s and each Borrower’s and
Subsidiary’s jurisdiction of organization, name as listed in the public records of its jurisdiction of organization, organizational identification number in its jurisdiction of organization, and the location of its principal place of business

 Section 7.17 Properties; Titles, Etc. 
  
 (a) Except as disclosed in Schedule 7.17, each Credit Party has good and defensible title in all material respects to the proved Oil and Gas
Properties evaluated in the most recently delivered Reserve Report (excluding, to the extent this representation and warranty is deemed to be made after the Effective Date, any such Oil and Gas Properties sold or transferred in compliance with
Section 9.12) and good title in all material respects to all its personal Properties, in each case, free and clear of all Liens except Liens permitted by Section 9.03. After giving full effect to the Excepted Liens, a Credit Party
specified as the owner owns the net interests in production attributable to the Hydrocarbon Interests as reflected in the most recently delivered Reserve Report, and the ownership of such Properties shall not in any material respect obligate such
Credit Party to bear the costs and expenses relating to the maintenance, development and operations of each such Property in an amount in excess of the working interest of each Property set forth in the most recently delivered Reserve Report that is
not offset by a corresponding proportionate increase in such Credit Party’s net revenue interest in such Property. 
  
 (b) All material leases and agreements necessary for the conduct of the business of the Credit Parties are valid and subsisting, in full force and effect,
and there exists no default or event or circumstance which with the giving of notice or the passage of time or both would give rise to a default under any such lease or leases, which could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse
Effect. 
  
 (c) The rights and Properties presently owned, leased
or licensed by the Credit Parties including, without limitation, all easements and rights of way, include all rights and Properties necessary to permit the Credit Parties to conduct their business in all material respects in the same manner as its
business has been conducted prior to the date hereof. 
  
 (d) All
of the material Properties of the Credit Parties which are reasonably necessary for the operation of their businesses are in good working condition and are maintained in accordance with prudent business standards. 
  
 (e) Each Credit Party owns, or is licensed to use, all trademarks,
tradenames, copyrights, patents and other intellectual Property material to its business, and the use thereof by such Credit Party does not infringe upon the rights of any other Person, except for any such infringements that, individually or in the
aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. The Credit Parties either own or have valid licenses or other rights to use all databases, geological data, geophysical data, engineering data, seismic data, maps,
interpretations and other technical information used in their businesses as presently conducted, subject to the limitations contained in the agreements governing the use of the same, which limitations are customary for companies engaged in the
business of the exploration and production of Hydrocarbons, with such exceptions as could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

 Section 7.18 Maintenance of Properties. Except for such acts or failures to act as could not
be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, the Oil and Gas Properties (and Properties unitized therewith) have been maintained, operated and developed in a good and workmanlike manner and in conformity with all Government Requirements
and in conformity with the provisions of all leases, subleases or other contracts comprising a part of the Hydrocarbon Interests and other contracts and agreements forming a part of the Oil and Gas Properties. Specifically in connection with the
foregoing, except for those as could not be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, (i) no Oil and Gas Property is subject to having allowable production reduced below the full and regular allowable (including the maximum
permissible tolerance) because of any overproduction (whether or not the same was permissible at the time) and (ii) to the knowledge of Parent and the Borrowers, none of the wells comprising a part of the Oil and Gas Properties (or Properties
unitized therewith) is deviated from the vertical more than the maximum permitted by Government Requirements, and such wells are, in fact, bottomed under and are producing from, and the well bores are wholly within, the Oil and Gas Properties (or in
the case of wells located on Properties unitized therewith, such unitized Properties). All pipelines, wells, gas processing plants, platforms and other material improvements, fixtures and equipment owned in whole or in part by the Credit Parties
that are necessary to conduct normal operations are being maintained in a state adequate to conduct normal operations, and with respect to such of the foregoing that are operated by any Credit Party, in a manner consistent with any such Credit
Party’s past practices (other than those the failure of which to maintain in accordance with this Section 7.18 could not reasonably be expect to have a Material Adverse Effect). 
  
 Section 7.19 Gas Imbalances, Prepayments. As of the date hereof, except as set forth on Schedule 7.19 or
on the most recent certificate delivered pursuant to Section 8.12(c), on a net basis there are no gas imbalances, take or pay or other prepayments which would require any Credit Party to deliver Hydrocarbons produced from the Oil and Gas
Properties at some future time without then or thereafter receiving full payment therefor exceeding 50 mmcf equivalent in the aggregate. 
  
 Section 7.20 Marketing of Production. Except for contracts listed and in effect on the date hereof on Schedule 7.20, and thereafter
either disclosed in writing to the Administrative Agent or included in the most recently delivered Reserve Report (with respect to all of which contracts Parent and the Borrowers jointly and severally represent that they or their Subsidiaries are
receiving a price for all production sold thereunder which is computed substantially in accordance with the terms of the relevant contract and are not having deliveries curtailed substantially below the subject Property’s delivery capacity), no
material agreements exist which are not cancelable on 60 days notice or less without penalty or detriment for the sale of production from the Credit Parties’ Hydrocarbons (including, without limitation, calls on or other rights to purchase,
production, whether or not the same are currently being exercised) that (a) pertain to the sale of production at a fixed price and (b) have a maturity or expiry date of longer than six (6) months from the date hereof.

of Loans and Letters of Credit. The proceeds of the Loans and the Letters of Credit shall be used to refinance existing indebtedness, to provide working capital for exploration and production, and for general corporate purposes of the Borrowers
and their Subsidiaries, including the acquisition of exploration and production properties. No Credit Party is engaged principally, or as one of its important activities, in the business of extending credit for the purpose, whether immediate,
incidental or ultimate, of buying or carrying margin stock (within the meaning of Regulation T, U or X of the Board). No part of the proceeds of any Loan or Letter of Credit will be used for any purpose which violates the provisions of Regulations
T, U or X of the Board. 
  
 Section 7.23 Solvency.
Before and after giving effect to the transactions contemplated hereby, (a) the aggregate assets, at a fair valuation, of the Credit Parties, taken as a whole, will exceed the aggregate Debt of the Credit Parties on a consolidated basis, as the
Debt becomes absolute and matures, (b) each of the Credit Parties will not have incurred or intended to incur, and will not believe that it will incur, Debt beyond its ability to pay such Debt as such Debt becomes absolute and matures and
(c) each of the Credit Parties will not have (and will have no reason to believe that it will have thereafter) unreasonably small capital for the conduct of its business.

all Liens except for Liens permitted by Section 9.03, (iii) except as set forth on an exhibit to the certificate, on a net basis there are no gas imbalances, take or pay or other prepayments in excess of the volume specified in
Section 7.19 with respect to its Oil and Gas Properties evaluated in such Reserve Report which would require any Credit Party to deliver Hydrocarbons either generally or produced from such Oil and Gas Properties at some future time without then

(45) days after the date hereof, the Administrative Agent or its counsel shall have received satisfactory title information on at least 60% of the total Recognized Value of the proved Oil and Gas Properties evaluated in the Initial Reserve
Report, and (ii) ninety (90) days after the date hereof, the Administrative Agent or its counsel shall have received satisfactory title information on at least 75% of the total Recognized Value of the proved Oil and Gas Properties
evaluated in the Initial Reserve Report. Additionally, on or before the delivery to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders of each Reserve Report required by Section 8.12(a), the Borrowers will deliver title information in form and substance
acceptable to the Administrative Agent covering enough of the proved Oil and Gas Properties evaluated by such Reserve Report that were not included in the immediately preceding Reserve Report, so that the Administrative Agent shall have received
together with title information previously delivered, satisfactory title information on at least 75% of the total Recognized Value of the proved Oil and Gas Properties evaluated by such Reserve Report. 
  
 (b) If the Borrowers have provided title information for additional
Properties under Section 8.13(a), the Borrowers shall, within 90 days of notice from the Administrative Agent that title defects or exceptions exist with respect to such additional Properties, either (i) cure any such title defects or
exceptions (including defects or exceptions as to priority) which are not permitted by Section 9.03 raised by such information, (ii) substitute acceptable Mortgaged Properties with no title defects or exceptions except for Excepted Liens
(other than Excepted Liens described in clauses (e), (g) and (h) of such definition) having an equivalent value or (iii) deliver title information in form and substance acceptable to the Administrative Agent so that they shall have
received, together with title information previously delivered, satisfactory title information on at least 75% of the total Recognized Value of the proved Oil and Gas Properties evaluated by such Reserve Report.

 CREDIT AGREEMENT 

 (c) If the Borrowers are unable to cure any title defect requested to be cured within the 90-day period
or the Borrowers do not comply with the requirements to provide acceptable title information covering 75% of the total Recognized Value of the proved Oil and Gas Properties evaluated in the most recent Reserve Report, such default shall not be a
Default, but instead the Administrative Agent and/or the Required Lenders shall have the right to exercise the following remedy in their sole discretion from time to time, and any failure to so exercise this remedy at any time shall not be a waiver
as to future exercise of the remedy by any Agent or the Lenders. To the extent that the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders are not satisfied with title to any Mortgaged Property after the 90-day period has elapsed, such unacceptable
Mortgaged Property shall not count towards the 75% requirement, and the Administrative Agent may send a notice to the Borrowers (or Borrower Representative) and the Lenders that the then outstanding Borrowing Base shall be reduced by an amount as
determined by the Required Lenders to cause the Borrowers to be in compliance with the requirement to provide acceptable title information on 75% of the total Recognized Value of the proved Oil and Gas Properties. This new Borrowing Base shall

together with (A) such other assignments, conveyances, amendments, agreements and other writings (each duly authorized and executed) as the Administrative Agent shall deem necessary or appropriate to grant, evidence and perfect first and prior
Liens (subject only to Excepted Liens of the type described in clauses (a) to (d) and (f) of the definition thereof, but subject to the provisos at the end of such definition) on at least 60% of the total Recognized Value of the
proved Oil and Gas Properties evaluated in the Initial Reserve Report; and (B) such opinions of counsel as the Administrative Agent shall deem necessary or appropriate with respect to the form, sufficiency and other matters regarding such
Mortgages and amendments to mortgages as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request, and (ii) ninety (90) days after the date hereof, the Borrowers shall deliver to the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of each Lender,

definition thereof, but subject to the provisos at the end of such definition) on at least 75% of the total Recognized Value of the proved Oil and Gas Properties evaluated in the Initial Reserve Report; and (B) such opinions of counsel as the
Administrative Agent shall deem necessary or appropriate with respect to the form, sufficiency and other matters regarding such Mortgages and amendments to mortgages as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request. Further, in connection with
each redetermination of the Borrowing Base, the Borrowers shall review the Reserve Report and the list of current Mortgaged Properties (as described in Section 8.12(c)(vi)) to ascertain whether the Mortgaged Properties represent at least 75% of
the total Recognized Value of the proved Oil and Gas Properties evaluated in the most recently completed Reserve Report after giving effect to exploration and production activities, acquisitions, dispositions and production. In the event that the
Mortgaged Properties do not represent at least 75% of such total Recognized Value, then Parent and the Borrowers shall, and shall cause the other Credit Parties to, grant to the Administrative Agent as security for the Indebtedness a first-priority
Lien interest (subject only to Excepted Liens of the type described in clauses (a) to (d) and (f) of the definition thereof, but subject to the provisos at the end of such definition) on additional proved Oil and Gas Properties not
already subject to a Lien of the Security Instruments such that after giving effect thereto, the Mortgaged Properties will represent at least 75% of such total Recognized Value. All such Liens will be created and perfected by and in accordance with

such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. 
  
 Section 11.02 Duties and Obligations of Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth in the Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the Administrative Agent (a) shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise
any discretionary powers, except as provided in Section 11.03, and (c) except as expressly set forth herein, shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to any Credit
Party that is communicated to or obtained by the bank serving as an Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to it

writing as directed by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in
Section 12.02) and in all cases it shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to act hereunder or under any other Loan Documents unless it shall (a) receive written instructions from the Required Lenders or the Lenders, as applicable
(or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 12.02) specifying the action to be taken and (b) be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all
liability and expenses which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The instructions as aforesaid and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding on all of the Lenders. If a Default
has occurred and is continuing, then the Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default as shall be directed by the requisite Lenders in the written instructions (with indemnities) described in this Section 11.03,
provided that, unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received such directions, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default as
it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the Lenders. In no event, however, shall the Administrative Agent be required to take any action which exposes the Administrative Agent to personal liability or which is contrary to this Agreement,
the Loan Documents or applicable law. If a Default has occurred and is continuing, the Arranger shall not have any obligation to perform any act in respect thereof. No Agent shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it with the consent or
at the request of the Required Lenders or the Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 12.02), and otherwise no Agent shall be liable for any action taken or
not taken by it hereunder or under any other Loan Document or under any other document or instrument referred to or provided for herein or therein or in connection herewith or therewith INCLUDING ITS OWN ORDINARY NEGLIGENCE, except for its own gross

believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be made by the proper Person, and shall not incur
any liability for relying thereon and each of the Credit Parties, the Lenders and each Issuing Bank hereby waives the right to dispute the Administrative Agent’s record of such statement, except in the case of gross negligence or willful
misconduct by such Agent. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Credit Parties), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it
in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts. The Agents may deem and treat the payee of any Note as the holder thereof for all purposes hereof unless and until a written notice of the assignment or transfer thereof
permitted hereunder shall have been filed with the Administrative Agent.

 Section 11.06 Resignation of Agents. Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Agent as provided

upon the approval of the Borrowers (so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, to appoint a successor. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and
shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders and each Issuing Bank, appoint a successor Agent which shall be a bank with an office
in New York, New York, or an Affiliate of any such bank. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring
Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. The fees payable by the Borrowers to a successor Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrowers
and such successor. After the Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article XI and Section 12.03 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in
respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while it was acting as Agent. 
  
 Section 11.07 Agents as Lenders. Each bank serving as an Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as
any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent, and such bank and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of business with any Credit Party or other Affiliate thereof as if
it were not an Agent hereunder.

analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement and each other Loan Document to which it is a party. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any other Agent or any other Lender
and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document, any related agreement or any
document furnished hereunder or thereunder. The Agents shall not be required to keep themselves informed as to the performance or observance by any Credit Party of this Agreement, the Loan Documents or any other document referred to or provided for
herein or to inspect the Properties or books of the Credit Parties. Except for notices, reports and other documents and information expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent hereunder, neither the Agents nor the
Arranger shall have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the affairs,

of Property to the extent such sale or other disposition is permitted by the terms of Section 9.12 or is otherwise authorized by the terms of the Loan Documents.

other Indebtedness that is owing and unpaid and (ii) file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation,

judicial proceeding; and

Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition
affecting the Indebtedness or the rights of any Lender or to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such proceeding. Each Lender retains its right to file and prove a claim separately.

 Section 12.02 Waivers; Amendments. 
  
 (a) No failure on the part of any Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender to
exercise and no delay in exercising, and no course of dealing with respect to, any right, power or privilege, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such right, power or privilege, under any of the Loan Documents shall operate as a
waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege under any of the Loan Documents preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies
of the Agents, each Issuing Bank and the Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other
Loan Document or consent to any departure by any Credit Party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by Section 12.02(b), and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and
for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan or issuance of a Letter of Credit shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether any Agent, any Lender or any Issuing
Bank may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time. 
  
 (b) Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof nor any Security Instrument nor any provision thereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by Parent, the Borrowers (or
Borrower Representative) and the Required Lenders or by Parent, the Borrowers (or Borrower Representative) and the Administrative Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders; provided that no such agreement shall (i) increase the
Commitment or the Maximum Credit Amount of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender, (ii) increase the Borrowing Base without the written consent of each Lender, or modify Section 2.07 without the consent of each Lender,
(iii) reduce the principal amount of any Loan or LC Disbursement or reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce any fees payable hereunder, or reduce any other Indebtedness hereunder or under any other Loan Document, without the written
consent of each Lender affected thereby, (iv) postpone the scheduled date of payment of the principal amount of any Loan or LC Disbursement, or any interest thereon, or any fees payable hereunder, or any other Indebtedness hereunder or under
any other Loan Document, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, or postpone or extend the Termination Date without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby, (v) change Section 4.01(b) or Section 4.01(c)
in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby, without the written consent of each Lender, (vi) waive or amend Section 8.14 or change the definition of the terms “Domestic Subsidiary”,
“Foreign Subsidiary” or “Subsidiary”, without the written consent of each Lender, (vii) release any Guarantor (except as set forth in the Guaranty Agreement), release any of the collateral (other than as provided in
Section 11.09), or reduce the percentages set forth in Section 8.14(b) to less than the percentages set forth therein as of the date hereof, without the written consent of each Lender, (viii) change any of the provisions of
Section 10.02(c), this

Section 12.02(b) or the definition of “Required Lenders” or any other provision hereof specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required
to waive, amend or modify any rights hereunder or under any other Loan Documents or make any determination or grant any consent hereunder or any other Loan Documents, without the written consent of each Lender or (ix) change the description of
the obligations secured or guaranteed by the Security Instruments or the priority of payments set forth in Section 10.02(c) without the written consent of each Lender or Secured Swap Provider adversely affected thereby, provided that the
addition of a new secured obligation shall not be deemed to adversely affect any other secured party; provided further that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of any Agent or any Issuing Bank
hereunder or under any other Loan Document without the prior written consent of such Agent or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any supplement to Schedule 7.15 (Subsidiaries) shall be effective simply by
delivering to the Administrative Agent a supplemental schedule clearly marked as such and, upon receipt, the Administrative Agent will promptly deliver a copy thereof to the Lenders. 
  
 Section 12.03 Expenses, Indemnity; Damage Waiver. 
  
 (a) The Borrowers shall (and are jointly and severally obligated to) pay (i) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses
incurred by the Administrative Agent and their Affiliates, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel, in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein, the preparation,
negotiation, execution, delivery and administration (both before and after the execution hereof and including advice of counsel to the Administrative Agent as to the rights and duties of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders with respect thereto)
of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any amendments, modifications or waivers of or consents related to the provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated),

issued hereunder, including, without limitation, all such out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Loans or Letters of Credit.

OTHERWISE). 
  
 (c) To the extent that the Credit
Parties fail to pay any amount required to be paid by them to any Agent or any Issuing Bank under Section 12.03(a) or (b), each Lender severally agrees to pay to such Agent or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such Lender’s Applicable

benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any Affiliate of any Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit), except that (i) no Credit Party may assign or otherwise transfer any of
its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by any Credit Party without such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer
its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section 12.04. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and
assigns permitted hereby (including any Affiliate of any Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit), Participants (to the extent provided in Section 12.04(c)) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of
the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement. 
  
 (b) (i) Subject to the conditions set forth in Section 12.04(b)(ii), any Lender may assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its
rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) of: (A) the Borrowers (or
Borrower Representative), provided that no consent of the Borrowers (or Borrower Representative) shall be required for an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender, an Approved Fund or, if an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, any other assignee; and (B) the Administrative Agent and any Issuing Bank, provided that no such consent shall be required for an assignment to an assignee that is a Lender immediately prior to giving effect to such
assignment. 
  
 (ii) Assignments shall be subject
to the following additional conditions: (A) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment, the amount of the Commitment of
the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $5,000,000, and the Commitments of any
assigning Lender remaining a party hereto after giving effect to the assignment shall be at least $5,000,000, unless, in each case, the Borrowers (or Borrower Representative) and the Administrative Agent otherwise consents, provided that no
such consent of the Borrowers (or Borrower Representative) shall be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; (B) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning
Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement; (C) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500;
(D) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire

and shall deliver notice of the Assignment and Assumption to the Borrowers (or Borrower Representative); and (E) in the case of an assignment to a CLO,
the assigning Lender shall retain the sole right to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, provided that the Assignment and Assumption between such Lender and such CLO may provide that such Lender
will not, without the consent of such CLO, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in the first proviso to Section 12.02 that affects such CLO. 
  
 (iii) Subject to Section 12.04(b)(iv) and the acceptance and recording thereof, from and after the
effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this
Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of
the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Section 5.01, Section 5.02, Section 5.03 and
Section 12.03). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 12.04 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation
in such rights and obligations in accordance with Section 12.04(c). 
  
 (iv) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Borrowers, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of
the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Maximum Credit Amount of, and principal amount of the Loans and LC Disbursements owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in
the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this
Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by any Borrower, any Issuing Bank and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. In connection with any
changes to the Register, if necessary, the Administrative Agent will reflect the revisions on Annex I and forward a copy of such revised Annex I to the Borrowers (or Borrower Representative), each Issuing Bank and each Lender.

Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s completed Administrative Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in
Section 12.04(b) and any written consent to such assignment required by Section 12.04(b), the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment
shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this Section 12.04(b).

 CREDIT AGREEMENT 

 (c) (i) Any Lender may, without the consent of Parent, the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent or
any Issuing Bank, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and
the Loans owing to it); provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such
obligations and (C) Parent, the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this
Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision
of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in the proviso to Section 12.02 that
affects such Participant. In addition such agreement must provide that the Participant be bound by the provisions of Section 12.03. Subject to Section 12.04(c)(ii), Parent and the Borrowers agree that each Participant shall be entitled to
the benefits of Section 5.01, Section 5.02 and Section 5.03 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 12.04(b). To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also
shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 12.08 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 4.01(c) as though it were a Lender. 
  
 (ii) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any
greater payment under Section 5.01 or Section 5.03 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made
with the Borrowers’ (or Borrower Representative’s) prior written consent. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 5.03 unless the Borrowers are (or Borrower
Representative is) notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrowers, to comply with Section 5.03(e) as though it were a Lender. 
  
 (d) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or
any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section 12.04(d) shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment
of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto. 

 
 Section 12.05 Survival; Revival; Reinstatement. 
  
 (a) All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the
Credit Parties herein and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the
execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making of any Loans and issuance of any Letters of Credit, regardless of any

 CREDIT AGREEMENT 

 
investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent, any other Agent, any Issuing Bank or any
Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan
or any fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid or any Letter of Credit is outstanding and so long as the Commitments have not expired or terminated. The provisions of Section 5.01, Section 5.02,
Section 5.03 and Section 12.03 and Article XI shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination of the
Letters of Credit and the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any provision hereof or thereof. 
  
 (b) To the extent that any payments on the Indebtedness or proceeds of any collateral are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or
preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee, debtor in possession, receiver or other Person under any bankruptcy law, common law or equitable cause, then to such extent, the Indebtedness so satisfied shall be revived and continue
as if such payment or proceeds had not been received and the Administrative Agent’s, and the Lenders’ Liens, security interests, rights, powers and remedies under this Agreement and each Loan Document shall continue in full force and
effect. In such event, each Loan Document shall be automatically reinstated and the Borrowers shall, and shall cause each other Credit Party to, take such action as may be reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders to effect
such reinstatement. 
  
 Section 12.06 Counterparts;
Integration; Effectiveness. 
  
 (a) This Agreement may be
executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. 
  
 (b) This Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any separate letter
agreements with respect to fees payable to the Arranger and the Administrative Agent constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings,
oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents represent the final agreement among the parties hereto and thereto and may not be contradicted by evidence of prior, contemporaneous or
subsequent oral agreements of the parties. There are no unwritten oral agreements between the parties. 
  
 (c) Except as provided in Section 6.01(a), this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and
when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their
respective successors and assigns. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability without affecting the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining
provisions hereof or thereof; and the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate such provision in any other jurisdiction. 
  
 Section 12.08 Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and each of
its Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other
obligations (of whatsoever kind, including, without limitations obligations under Swap Agreements) at any time owing by such Lender or Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of any Credit Party against any of and all the obligations of any
Credit Party owed to such Lender now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such
obligations may be unmatured. The rights of each Lender under this Section 12.08 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender or its Affiliates may have.

 ARTICLE III

 Representations, Warranties and Covenants 
  
 Section 3.1. Representations and Warranties. Pledgor represents and warrants as follows: 
  
 (a) Ownership and Liens. Pledgor has good and marketable title to the
Collateral free and clear of all Liens, encumbrances or adverse claims, except for the security interest created by this Agreement and except as provided in Section 3.1(d)(iv). No effective financing statement or other instrument similar in
effect covering all or any part of the Collateral is on file in any recording office except such as have been filed in favor of Pledgee relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. 
  
 (b) No Conflicts or Consents. Neither the ownership or the intended
use of the Collateral by Pledgor, nor the grant of the security interest by Pledgor to Pledgee herein, nor the exercise by Pledgee of its rights or remedies hereunder, will (i) conflict with any provision of (a) any domestic or foreign
law, statute, rule or regulation, (b) the articles of organization, certificate of formation, certificate of incorporation, articles of incorporation, charter, bylaws, limited liability company agreement or other organizational document of any
Subsidiary, or (c) any agreement, judgment, license, order or permit applicable to or binding upon Pledgor or any Subsidiary; or (ii) result in or require the creation of any Lien, charge or encumbrance upon any assets or properties of
Pledgor except as expressly contemplated in the Obligation Documents. Except as expressly contemplated in the Obligation Documents, no consent, approval, authorization or order of, and no notice to or filing with, any court, Governmental Authority,
Subsidiary, or third party is required in connection with the grant by Pledgor of the security interest herein, or, except as may be required under the Code, the exercise by Pledgee of its rights and remedies hereunder. 
  
 (c) Security Interest. Pledgor has and will have at all times full
right, power and authority to grant a security interest in the Collateral to Pledgee in the manner provided herein, free and clear of any Lien, adverse claim, or encumbrance (except as provided in Section 3.1(d)(iv)). This Agreement creates a
valid and binding security interest in favor of Pledgee in the Collateral securing the Obligations. The taking possession by Pledgee (for the ratable benefit of Lenders) of all certificates, instruments and cash constituting Collateral from time to
time, together with appropriate stock powers, and the filing of the financing statements delivered concurrently herewith by Pledgor to Pledgee will perfect, and establish the priority required by Section 3.1(d)(iv) of, Pledgee’s security
interest hereunder in the Collateral securing 

  

 Exhibit F-4 
 CHAPARRAL ENERGY, L.L.C. 
 CREDIT AGREEMENT

 
the Obligations. No further or subsequent filing, recording, registration, other public notice or other action is necessary or desirable to perfect or
otherwise continue, preserve or protect such security interest except for continuation statements or filings as contemplated in Section 3.3(b) or otherwise by the Code. 
  
 (d) Pledged Equity. (i) Pledgor is the legal and beneficial owner of the Pledged Equity; (ii) the Pledged
Equity is duly authorized and issued, fully paid and non-assessable (as applicable), and all documentary, stamp or other Taxes or fees owing in connection with the issuance, transfer and/or pledge thereof hereunder have been paid; (iii) no
dispute, right of setoff, counterclaim or defense exists with respect to all or any part of the Pledged Equity; (iv) the Pledged Equity is free and clear of all Liens, options, warrants, puts, calls or other rights of third Persons, and
restrictions, other than (A) those Liens arising under this Agreement or any other of the Loan Documents, (B) Liens for Taxes or assessments not yet due or not yet delinquent, or, if delinquent, that are being contested in good faith in
the normal course of business by appropriate action, as required by Section 8.04 of the Credit Agreement, and (C) restrictions on transferability imposed by applicable state and federal securities laws; (v) Pledgor has full right and
authority to pledge the Pledged Equity for the purposes and upon the terms set out herein; (vi) certificates (as applicable) representing the Pledged Equity have been delivered to Pledgee, together with a duly executed blank stock power for
each certificate; and (vii) no Subsidiary has issued, and there are not outstanding, any options, warrants or other rights to acquire Equity of any Subsidiary. 
  
 Section 3.2. Affirmative Covenants. Unless Pledgee shall otherwise consent in writing, Pledgor will at all times
comply with the covenants contained in this Section 3.2 from the date hereof and so long as any part of the Obligations or Commitments is outstanding. 
  
 (a) Ownership and Liens. Pledgor will maintain good and marketable title to all Collateral free and clear of all Liens, encumbrances or adverse
claims, except for (i) the security interest created by this Agreement, (ii) those provided in Section 3.1(d)(iv), and (iii) the security interests and other encumbrances expressly permitted by the Credit Agreement. Pledgor will
cause to be terminated any financing statement or other registration with respect to the Collateral, except such as may exist or as may have been filed in favor of Pledgee. Pledgor will defend Pledgee’s security interest in and to the
Collateral against the claims of any Person. 
  
 (b) Further
Assurances. Pledgor will at any time and from time to time promptly execute and deliver all further instruments and documents and take all further action that may be necessary or desirable or that Pledgee may request in order (i) to perfect
and protect the security interest created or purported to be created hereby and the priority required by Section 3.1(d)(iv) of such security interest; (ii) to enable Pledgee to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder in
respect of the Collateral; or (iii) to otherwise effect the purposes of this Agreement, including: (A) executing and filing such financing or continuation statements, or amendments thereto, as may be necessary or desirable or that Pledgee
may request in order to perfect and preserve the security interest created or purported to be created hereby, and (B) furnishing to Pledgee from time to time statements and schedules further identifying and describing the Collateral and such
other reports in connection with the Collateral as Pledgee may reasonably request, all in reasonable detail. Upon the creation or acquisition by Pledgor of any Subsidiary, Pledgor and such Subsidiary shall execute an acknowledgement to this
Agreement substantially 

  

 Exhibit F-5 
 CHAPARRAL ENERGY, L.L.C. 
 CREDIT AGREEMENT

 
in the form of Exhibit A hereto promptly following the acquisition or creation by Pledgor of such Subsidiary, which confirms that the Equity of
such Subsidiary shall be included within the definition of Pledged Equity hereunder. 
  
 (c) Delivery of Pledged Equity. All certificates, instruments and writings evidencing the Pledged Equity shall be delivered to Pledgee on or prior to the execution and delivery of this Agreement. All other
certificates, instruments and writings hereafter evidencing or constituting Pledged Equity shall be delivered to Pledgee promptly upon the receipt thereof by or on behalf of Pledgor. All Pledged Equity shall be held by or on behalf of Pledgee
pursuant hereto and shall be delivered in the same manner and with the same effect as described in Section 2.1 hereof and Section 3.1 hereof. Upon delivery, such Equity shall thereupon constitute “Pledged Equity” and shall be
subject to the Liens herein created, for the purposes and upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. 
  
 (d) Proceeds of Pledged Equity. If Pledgor shall receive, by virtue of its being or having been an owner of any Pledged Equity, any (i) Equity
(including any certificate representing any Equity or distribution in connection with any increase or reduction of capital, reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation, sale of assets, or spinoff or split-off), promissory note or other
instrument or writing; (ii) option or right, whether as an addition to, substitution for, or in exchange for, any Pledged Equity or otherwise; (iii) dividends or other distributions payable in cash (except such dividends or other
distributions permitted to be retained by Pledgor pursuant to Section 4.7 hereof) or in securities or other property; or (iv) dividends or other distributions in connection with (A) a partial or total liquidation or dissolution or
(B) a reduction of capital, capital surplus or paid-in surplus, Pledgor shall receive the same in trust for the benefit of Pledgee, shall segregate it from Pledgor’s other property, and shall promptly deliver it to Pledgee in the exact
form received, with any necessary endorsement or appropriate stock powers duly executed in blank, to be held by Pledgee as Collateral. 
  
 (e) Status of Pledged Equity. The certificates evidencing the Pledged Equity (as applicable) shall at all times be valid and genuine and shall not
be altered. The Pledged Equity at all times shall be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid, and non-assessable (as applicable), shall not be issued in violation of the pre-emptive rights of any Person or of any agreement by which Pledgor or
any Subsidiary is bound, and, except for the bylaws or other organizational documents of any Subsidiary, shall not be subject to any restrictions or conditions with respect to the transfer, voting or capital of any Pledged Equity. 
  
 Section 3.3. Negative Covenants. Unless Pledgee shall otherwise
consent in writing, Pledgor will at all times comply with the covenants contained in this Section 3.3 from the date hereof and so long as any part of the Obligations or the Commitments is outstanding. 
  
 (a) Transfer or Encumbrance. Pledgor will not sell, assign (by
operation of law or otherwise), transfer, exchange, lease or otherwise dispose of any of the Collateral, nor will Pledgor grant a Lien upon or execute, file or record any financing statement or other registration with respect to the Collateral
(other than the security interests created by this Agreement), nor will Pledgor allow any such Lien, financing statement, or other registration to exist or deliver actual or constructive possession of the Collateral to any other Person other than
Liens in favor of Pledgee and those provided in Section 3.1(d)(iv). Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as 

  

 Exhibit F-6 
 CHAPARRAL ENERGY, L.L.C. 
 CREDIT AGREEMENT

 
no Default or Event of Default exists, Pledgor may transfer, exchange or otherwise dispose of Pledged Equity in connection with a merger or consolidation
permitted by Section 9.11 of the Credit Agreement. Upon any such merger or consolidation, Pledgee will, upon Pledgor’s request and at Pledgor’s expense, promptly (a) release its security interest in the Collateral that is being
transferred, exchanged or disposed of in connection with such merger or consolidation, (b) return to Pledgor such of the Collateral that is being transferred, exchanged or disposed of in connection with such merger or consolidation, and
(c) execute and deliver to Pledgor such documents as Pledgor may reasonably request to evidence Pledgee’s release of its security interest in such Collateral. 
  
 (b) Financing Statement Filings. Pledgor recognizes that financing statements pertaining to the Collateral have been
or may be filed in the jurisdiction of Pledgor’s organization, where Pledgor maintains any Collateral, has its records concerning any Collateral, has its chief executive office or chief place of business, or has its principal place of
residence. Without limitation of any other covenant herein, Pledgor will not cause or permit any change to be made in its name, identity, corporate structure or jurisdiction of organization, or any change to be made to a jurisdiction other than as
represented in the Credit Agreement in (i) the location of any records concerning any Collateral, or (ii) the location of its chief executive office, chief place of business or principal place of residence, unless Pledgor shall have
notified Pledgee of such change at least fifteen (15) days prior to the effective date of such change, and shall have first taken all action reasonably required by Pledgee for the purpose of further perfecting or protecting the security
interest in favor of Pledgee in the Collateral. In any notice furnished pursuant to this subsection, Pledgor will expressly state that the notice is required by this Agreement and contains facts that may require additional filings of financing
statements or other notices for the purposes of continuing perfection of Pledgee’s security interest in the Collateral. 
  
 (c) Impairment of Security Interest. Pledgor will not take or fail to take any action which would in any manner impair the enforceability of
Pledgee’s security interest in any Collateral. 
  
 (d)
Restrictions on Pledged Equity. Except for the bylaws, limited liability company agreement, regulations, partnership agreement or other charter or organizational documents of Subsidiaries, Pledgor will not enter into any agreement creating,
or otherwise permit to exist, any restriction or condition upon the transfer, voting or control of any Pledged Equity. 
  
 ARTICLE IV 
 Remedies, Powers and Authorizations

  
 Section 4.1. Provisions Concerning the Collateral.

  
 (a) Additional Financing Statement Filings. Pledgor
hereby authorizes Pledgee to file, without the signature of Pledgor where permitted by law, one (1) or more financing or continuation statements, and amendments thereto, relating to the Collateral. 
  
 (b) Power of Attorney. Pledgor hereby irrevocably appoints Pledgee as
Pledgor’s attorney-in-fact and proxy, with full authority in the place and stead of Pledgor and in the name of Pledgor or otherwise, from time to time if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be 

  

 Exhibit F-7 
 CHAPARRAL ENERGY, L.L.C. 
 CREDIT AGREEMENT

 
continuing, in Pledgee’s discretion, to take any action (except for the exercise of any voting rights pertaining to the Pledged Equity or any part
thereof) and to execute any instrument, certificate or notice which Pledgee may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement including: (i) to request or instruct Pledgor or any Subsidiary (and each registrar,
transfer agent, or similar Person acting on behalf of Pledgor or any Subsidiary) to register the Pledged Equity or transfer the Collateral to Pledgee; (ii) to otherwise give notification to Pledgor, any Subsidiary, registrar, transfer agent,
financial intermediary, or other Person of Pledgee’s security interests hereunder; (iii) to ask, demand, collect, sue for, recover, compound, receive and give acquittance and receipts for moneys due and to become due under or in respect of
any of the Collateral; (iv) to receive, indorse and collect any drafts or other instruments, documents and chattel paper; and (v) to file any claims or take any action or institute any proceedings which Pledgee may deem necessary or
desirable for the collection of any of the Collateral or otherwise to enforce the rights of Pledgee with respect to any of the Collateral. 
  
 (c) Performance by Pledgee. If Pledgor fails to perform any agreement or obligation contained herein, Pledgee may itself perform, or cause
performance of, such agreement or obligation, and the expenses of Pledgee incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by Pledgor under Section 4.4 hereof. 
  
 (d) Collection Rights. Pledgee shall have the right at any time, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, to notify any or all obligors (including any and all Subsidiaries) under any accounts or general intangibles included among the Collateral of the assignment thereof to Pledgee and to direct such obligors to make payment of all amounts
due or to become due to Pledgor thereunder directly to Pledgee and, upon such notification and at the expense of Pledgor and to the extent permitted by law, to enforce collection thereof and to adjust, settle or compromise the amount or payment
thereof, in the same manner and to the same extent as Pledgor could have done. After Pledgor receives notice that Pledgee has given any notice referred to above in this subsection, (i) all amounts and proceeds (including instruments and
writings) received by Pledgor in respect of such accounts or general intangibles shall be received in trust for the benefit of Pledgee hereunder, shall be segregated from other funds of Pledgor and shall be forthwith paid over to Pledgee in the same
form as so received (with any necessary endorsement) to be held as cash collateral and (A) released to Pledgor upon the remedy of all Events of Default, or (B) if any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, applied as
specified in Section 4.3 hereof; and (ii) Pledgor will not adjust, settle or compromise the amount or payment of any such account or general intangible or release wholly or partly any account debtor or obligor thereof or allow any credit
or discount thereon. 
  
 Section 4.2. Event of Default
Remedies. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Pledgee may from time to time in its discretion, without limitation and without notice except as expressly provided below: 
  
 (a) exercise in respect of the Collateral, in addition to other rights and
remedies provided for herein, under the other Obligation Documents or otherwise available to it, all the rights and remedies of a secured party on default under the Code (whether or not the Code applies to the affected Collateral); 
  

 Exhibit F-8 
 CHAPARRAL ENERGY, L.L.C. 
 CREDIT AGREEMENT

 (b) require Pledgor to, and Pledgor hereby agrees that it will upon request of Pledgee forthwith,
assemble all or part of the Collateral as directed by Pledgee and make it available to Pledgee at a place to be designated by Pledgee which is reasonably convenient to both parties; 
  
 (c) reduce its claim to judgment against Pledgor or foreclose or otherwise enforce, in whole or in part, the security
interest created hereby by any available judicial procedure; 
  
 (d) dispose of, at its office, on the premises of Pledgor or elsewhere, all or any part of the Collateral, as a unit or in parcels, by public or private proceedings, and by way of one or more contracts (it being agreed that the sale of any
part of the Collateral shall not exhaust Pledgee’s power of sale, but sales may be made from time to time, and at any time, until all of the Collateral has been sold or until the Obligations have been paid and performed in full), and at any
such sale it shall not be necessary to exhibit any of the Collateral; 
  
 (e) buy (or allow any Lender to buy) the Collateral, or any part thereof, at any public sale; 
  
 (f) buy (or allow any Lender to buy) the Collateral, or any part thereof, at any private sale if the Collateral is of a type customarily sold in a
recognized market or is of a type which is the subject of widely distributed standard price quotations; and 
  
 (g) apply by appropriate judicial proceedings for appointment of a receiver for the Collateral, or any part thereof, and Pledgor hereby consents to any
such appointment. 
  
 Pledgor agrees that, to the extent notice of
sale shall be required by law, at least ten (10) days’ notice to Pledgor of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification. Pledgee shall not be
obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. Pledgee may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further
notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned. 
  
 Section 4.3. Application of Proceeds. If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Pledgee may in its discretion apply any cash held by Pledgee as Collateral, and any cash proceeds received by Pledgee in
respect of any sale of, collection from, or other realization upon all or any part of the Collateral, in the order and manner contemplated by Article IV of the Credit Agreement. 
  
 Section 4.4. Release and Expenses. In addition to, and not in qualification of, any similar obligations under
other Obligation Documents: 
  
 (a) Pledgor agrees to release and
forever discharge Pledgee and each Lender from and against any and all claims, losses and liabilities growing out of or resulting from this Agreement (including enforcement of this Agreement), except to the extent such claim, loss or liability is
found in a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The foregoing release and discharge shall apply whether or not such claims, losses and
liabilities are in any way or to any 

  

 Exhibit F-9 
 CHAPARRAL ENERGY, L.L.C. 
 CREDIT AGREEMENT

 
extent owed, in whole or in part, under any claim or theory of strict liability or are, to any extent caused, in whole or in part, by any negligent (but not
grossly negligent or willful as found in a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction) act or omission of any kind by Pledgee or any Lender. 
  
 (b) Pledgor will, and will cause each Borrower to, upon demand pay to Pledgee the amount of any and all costs and expenses,
including the reasonable fees and disbursements of Pledgee’s counsel and of any experts and agents, which Pledgee may incur in connection with (i) the transactions which give rise to this Agreement; (ii) the preparation of this
Agreement and the perfection and preservation of the security interest created under this Agreement; (iii) the administration of this Agreement; (iv) the custody, preservation, use or operation of, or the sale of, collection from, or other
realization upon, any Collateral; (v) the exercise or enforcement of any of the rights of Pledgee hereunder; or (vi) the failure by Pledgor to perform or observe any of the provisions hereof, except expenses resulting from Pledgee’s
gross negligence or willful misconduct. 
  
 Section 4.5.
Non-Judicial Remedies. In granting to Pledgee the power to enforce its rights hereunder without prior judicial process or judicial hearing, Pledgor expressly waives, renounces and knowingly relinquishes any legal right which might otherwise
require Pledgee to enforce its rights by judicial process. In so providing for non-judicial remedies, Pledgor recognizes and concedes that such remedies are consistent with the usage of trade, are responsive to commercial necessity, and are the
result of a bargain at arm’s length. Nothing herein is intended to prevent Pledgee or Pledgor from resorting to judicial process at either party’s option. 
  
 Section 4.6. Other Recourse. Pledgor waives any right to require Pledgee or Lenders to proceed against any other
Person, exhaust any Collateral or other security for the Obligations, or to have any Other Liable Party joined with Pledgor in any suit arising out of the Obligations or this Agreement, or pursue any other remedy in Pledgee’s power. Pledgor
further waives any and all notice of acceptance of this Agreement and of the creation, modification, rearrangement, renewal or extension for any period of any of the Obligations from time to time. Pledgor further waives any defense arising by reason
of any disability or other defense of any Other Liable Party or by reason of the cessation from any cause whatsoever of the liability of any Other Liable Party. Until all of the Obligations shall have been paid in full, Pledgor shall have no right
to subrogation and Pledgor waives the right to enforce any remedy which Pledgee or any Lender has or may hereafter have against any Other Liable Party, and waives any benefit of and any right to participate in any other security whatsoever now or
hereafter held by Pledgee. Pledgor authorizes Pledgee and each Lender, without notice or demand and without any reservation of rights against Pledgor and without affecting Pledgor’s liability hereunder or on the Obligations, from time to time
to (a) take or hold any other property of any type from any other Person as security for the Obligations, and exchange, enforce, waive and release any or all of such other property; (b) renew, extend for any period, accelerate, modify,
compromise, settle or release any of the obligations of any Other Liable Party in respect to any or all of the Obligations or other security for the Obligations; (c) waive, enforce, modify, amend or supplement any of the provisions of any
Obligation Document with any Person other than Pledgor; and (d) release or substitute any Other Liable Party.

 (a) So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing
Pledgor may receive and retain any and all dividends, distributions or interest paid in respect of the Pledged Equity; provided, however, that any and all dividends, distributions and interest paid or payable other than in cash in respect of,
and instruments and other property received, receivable or otherwise distributed in respect of or in exchange for, any Pledged Equity, shall be, and shall forthwith be delivered to Pledgee to hold as, Pledged Equity and shall, if received by
Pledgor, be received in trust for the benefit of Pledgee, be segregated from the other property or funds of Pledgor, and be forthwith delivered to Pledgee in the exact form received with any necessary endorsement or appropriate stock powers duly
executed in blank, to be held by Pledgee as Collateral. 
  
 (b) If
an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing: 
  
 (i) all rights of Pledgor to receive and retain the dividends, distributions and interest payments which Pledgor would otherwise be authorized to receive and retain pursuant to subsection (a) of this
Section 4.7 shall automatically cease, and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in Pledgee which shall thereupon have the right to receive and hold as Pledged Equity such dividends, distributions and interest payments; 
  
 (ii) without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
Pledgee may at its option exercise any and all rights of conversion, exchange, subscription or any other rights, privileges or options pertaining to any of the Pledged Equity (except voting rights) as if it were the absolute owner thereof, including
the right to exchange, in its discretion, any and all of the Pledged Equity upon the merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or other adjustment of Pledgor or any Subsidiary, or upon the exercise by Pledgor or any Subsidiary of any
right, privilege or option pertaining to any Pledged Equity, and, in connection therewith, to deposit and deliver any and all of the Pledged Equity with any committee, depository, transfer agent, registrar or other designated agent upon such terms
and conditions as it may determine; and 
  
 (iii)
all dividends and interest payments which are received by Pledgor contrary to the provisions of subsection (b) (i) of this Section 4.7 shall be received in trust for the benefit of Pledgee, shall be segregated from other funds of
Pledgor, and shall be forthwith paid over to Pledgee as Pledged Equity in the exact form received, to be held by Pledgee as Collateral. 
  
 Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, Pledgee may not exercise any voting rights pertaining to the Pledged Equity, and Pledgor may at all times exercise any
and all voting rights pertaining to the Pledged Equity or any part thereof for any purpose not inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement or any other Obligation Document; provided, however, if an Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing, Pledgor will not exercise or refrain from exercising any such right, as the case may be, if Pledgee gives notice that, in Pledgee’s judgment, such action would cause a Material Adverse Effect with respect to the
value of the Pledged Equity or the benefits to Pledgee of its security interest hereunder.

 Section 4.8. Private Sale of Pledged Equity. Pledgor recognizes that Pledgee may deem it
impracticable to effect a public sale of all or any part of the Pledged Equity and that Pledgee may, therefore, determine to make one or more private sales of any such securities to a restricted group of purchasers who will be obligated to agree,
among other things, to acquire such securities for their own account, for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Pledgor acknowledges that any such private sale may be at prices and on terms less favorable to the
seller than the prices and other terms which might have been obtained at a public sale and, notwithstanding the foregoing, agrees that such private sales shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner and that Pledgee shall
have no obligation to delay the sale of any such securities for the period of time necessary to permit Pledgor or any Subsidiary to register such securities (with no obligation of either Pledgor or any Subsidiary to accomplish such registration) for
public sale under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Pledgor further acknowledges and agrees that any offer to sell such securities which has been (a) publicly advertised on a bona fide basis
in The Wall Street Journal, national edition (to the extent that such an offer may be so advertised without prior registration under the Securities Act), or (b) made privately in the manner described above to not less than fifteen
(15) bona fide offerees shall be deemed to involve a “public disposition” for the purposes of Section 9.610 of the Code (or any successor or similar, applicable statutory provision) as then in effect in the State of Texas,
notwithstanding that such sale may not constitute a “public offering” under the Securities Act, and that Pledgee may, in such event, bid for the purchase of such securities. 
  
 Section 4.9. Limitation on Rights and Waivers. All rights, powers and remedies herein conferred shall be
exercisable by Pledgee only to the extent not prohibited by applicable law; and all waivers and relinquishments of rights and similar matters shall only be effective to the extent such waivers or relinquishments are not prohibited by applicable law.

 Section 5.2. Amendments. No amendment
of any provision of this Agreement shall be effective unless it is in writing and signed by Pledgor, each Borrower, Pledgee and Required Lenders (or all Lenders if required pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement), and no waiver of any
provision of this Agreement, and no consent to any departure by Pledgor therefrom, shall be effective unless it is in writing and signed by Pledgee and Required Lenders (or all Lenders if required pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement), and
then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given and to the extent specified in such writing. 
  
 Section 5.3. Preservation of Rights. No failure on the part of Pledgee or any Lender to exercise, and no delay
in exercising, any right hereunder or under any other Obligation Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other
right. Neither the execution nor the delivery of this Agreement shall in any manner impair or affect any other security for the Obligations. The rights and remedies of Pledgee and Lenders provided herein and in the other Obligation Documents are
cumulative of and are in addition to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies provided by law. The rights of Pledgee and Lenders under any Obligation Document against any party thereto are not conditional or contingent on any attempt by Pledgee
or Lenders to exercise any of its or their rights under any other Obligation Document against such party or against any other Person. 
  
 Section 5.4. Unenforceability. Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such
jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity without invalidating the remaining portions hereof or thereof or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction. 
  
 Section 5.5. Survival of Agreements. All representations and
warranties of Pledgor herein, and all covenants and agreements herein shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the execution and delivery of any other Obligation Documents and the creation of the Obligations. 
  

 Exhibit F-13

 CREDIT AGREEMENT

 Section 5.6. Other Liable Party. Neither this Agreement nor the exercise by Pledgee or any
Lender or the failure of Pledgee or any Lender to exercise any right, power or remedy conferred herein or by law shall be construed as relieving any Other Liable Party from liability on the Obligations or any deficiency thereon. This Agreement shall
continue irrespective of the fact that the liability of any Other Liable Party may have ceased or irrespective of the validity or enforceability of any other Obligation Document to which Pledgor or any Other Liable Party may be a party, and
notwithstanding the reorganization, death, incapacity or bankruptcy of any Other Liable Party, and notwithstanding the reorganization or bankruptcy or other event or proceeding affecting any Other Liable Party. 
  
 Section 5.7. Binding Effect and Assignment. This Agreement
creates a continuing security interest in the Collateral and (a) shall be binding on Pledgor and its successors and permitted assigns, and (b) shall inure, together with all rights and remedies of Pledgee hereunder, to the benefit of
Pledgee, Lenders, Secured Swap Providers and their respective successors, transferees and assigns. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Pledgee, Lenders and Secured Swap Providers may pledge, assign or otherwise transfer any or all of
their respective rights under any or all of the Obligation Documents to any other Person on the terms set forth in the Credit Agreement, and such other Person shall thereupon become vested with all of the benefits in respect thereof granted herein
or otherwise. None of the rights or duties of Pledgor hereunder may be assigned or otherwise transferred without the prior written consent of Pledgee and Required Lenders (or all Lenders if required pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement).

  
 Section 5.8. Termination. It is contemplated by
the parties hereto that there may be times when no Obligations are outstanding, but notwithstanding such occurrences, this Agreement shall remain valid and shall be in full force and effect as to subsequent outstanding Obligations. Upon the
satisfaction in full of the Obligations, upon the termination or expiration of the Credit Agreement and any other Commitment of Lenders to extend credit to Pledgor, and upon written request for the termination hereof delivered by Pledgor to Pledgee
and Lenders, this Agreement and the security interest created hereby shall terminate and all rights to the Collateral shall revert to Pledgor. Pledgee will, upon Pledgor’s request and at Pledgor’s expense, (a) return to Pledgor such
of the Collateral as shall not have been sold or otherwise disposed of or applied pursuant to the terms hereof, and (b) execute and deliver to Pledgor such documents as Pledgor shall reasonably request to evidence such termination. 

 
 Section 5.9. GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED
IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF TEXAS AND THE LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. 
  
 Section 5.10. Counterparts. This Agreement may be separately executed in any number of counterparts, all of which when so executed shall be
deemed to constitute one and the same Agreement.

 ARTICLE III

 Representations, Warranties and Covenants 
  
 Section 3.1. Representations and Warranties. Pledgor represents and warrants as follows: 
  
 (a) Ownership and Liens. Pledgor has good and marketable title to the
Collateral free and clear of all Liens, encumbrances or adverse claims, except for the security interest created by this Agreement and except as provided in Section 3.1(d)(iv). No effective financing statement or other instrument similar in
effect covering all or any part of the Collateral is on file in any recording office except such as have been filed in favor of Pledgee relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. 
  
 (b) No Conflicts or Consents. Neither the ownership or the intended
use of the Collateral by Pledgor, nor the grant of the security interest by Pledgor to Pledgee herein, nor the exercise by Pledgee of its rights or remedies hereunder, will (i) conflict with any provision of (a) any domestic or foreign
law, statute, rule or regulation, (b) the articles of organization, certificate of formation, certificate of incorporation, articles of incorporation, charter, bylaws, limited liability company agreement or other organizational document of any
Subsidiary, or (c) any agreement, judgment, license, order or permit applicable to or binding upon Pledgor or any Subsidiary; or (ii) result in or require the creation of any Lien, charge or encumbrance upon any assets or properties of
Pledgor except as expressly contemplated in the Obligation Documents. Except as expressly contemplated in the Obligation Documents, no consent, approval, authorization or order of, and no notice to or filing with, any court, Governmental Authority,
Subsidiary, or third party is required in connection with the grant by Pledgor of the security interest herein, or, except as may be required under the Code, the exercise by Pledgee of its rights and remedies hereunder. 
  
 (c) Security Interest. Pledgor has and will have at all times full
right, power and authority to grant a security interest in the Collateral to Pledgee in the manner provided herein, free and clear of any Lien, adverse claim, or encumbrance (except as provided in Section 3.1(d)(iv)). This Agreement creates a
valid and binding security interest in favor of Pledgee in the Collateral securing the Obligations. The taking possession by Pledgee (for the ratable benefit of Lenders) of all certificates, instruments and cash constituting Collateral from time to
time, together with appropriate stock powers, and the filing of the financing statements delivered concurrently herewith by Pledgor to Pledgee will perfect, and establish the priority required by Section 3.1(d)(iv) of, Pledgee’s security
interest hereunder in the Collateral securing 

  

 Exhibit G-4 
 CHAPARRAL ENERGY, L.L.C. 
 CREDIT AGREEMENT

 
the Obligations. No further or subsequent filing, recording, registration, other public notice or other action is necessary or desirable to perfect or
otherwise continue, preserve or protect such security interest except for continuation statements or filings as contemplated in Section 3.3(b) or otherwise by the Code. 
  
 (d) Pledged Equity. (i) Pledgor is the legal and beneficial owner of the Pledged Equity; (ii) the Pledged
Equity is duly authorized and issued, fully paid and non-assessable (as applicable), and all documentary, stamp or other Taxes or fees owing in connection with the issuance, transfer and/or pledge thereof hereunder have been paid; (iii) no
dispute, right of setoff, counterclaim or defense exists with respect to all or any part of the Pledged Equity; (iv) the Pledged Equity is free and clear of all Liens, options, warrants, puts, calls or other rights of third Persons, and
restrictions, other than (A) those Liens arising under this Agreement or any other of the Loan Documents, (B) Liens for Taxes or assessments not yet due or not yet delinquent, or, if delinquent, that are being contested in good faith in
the normal course of business by appropriate action, as required by Section 8.04 of the Credit Agreement, and (C) restrictions on transferability imposed by applicable state and federal securities laws; (v) Pledgor has full right and
authority to pledge the Pledged Equity for the purposes and upon the terms set out herein; (vi) certificates (as applicable) representing the Pledged Equity have been delivered to Pledgee, together with a duly executed blank stock power for
each certificate; and (vii) no Subsidiary has issued, and there are not outstanding, any options, warrants or other rights to acquire Equity of any Subsidiary. 
  
 Section 3.2. Affirmative Covenants. Unless Pledgee shall otherwise consent in writing, Pledgor will at all times
comply with the covenants contained in this Section 3.2 from the date hereof and so long as any part of the Obligations or Commitments is outstanding. 
  
 (a) Ownership and Liens. Pledgor will maintain good and marketable title to all Collateral free and clear of all Liens, encumbrances or adverse
claims, except for (i) the security interest created by this Agreement, (ii) those provided in Section 3.1(d)(iv), and (iii) the security interests and other encumbrances expressly permitted by the Credit Agreement. Pledgor will
cause to be terminated any financing statement or other registration with respect to the Collateral, except such as may exist or as may have been filed in favor of Pledgee. Pledgor will defend Pledgee’s security interest in and to the
Collateral against the claims of any Person. 
  
 (b) Further
Assurances. Pledgor will at any time and from time to time promptly execute and deliver all further instruments and documents and take all further action that may be necessary or desirable or that Pledgee may request in order (i) to perfect
and protect the security interest created or purported to be created hereby and the priority required by Section 3.1(d)(iv) of such security interest; (ii) to enable Pledgee to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder in
respect of the Collateral; or (iii) to otherwise effect the purposes of this Agreement, including: (A) executing and filing such financing or continuation statements, or amendments thereto, as may be necessary or desirable or that Pledgee
may request in order to perfect and preserve the security interest created or purported to be created hereby, and (B) furnishing to Pledgee from time to time statements and schedules further identifying and describing the Collateral and such
other reports in connection with the Collateral as Pledgee may reasonably request, all in reasonable detail. Upon the creation or acquisition by Pledgor of any Subsidiary, Pledgor and such Subsidiary shall execute an acknowledgement to this
Agreement substantially 

  

 Exhibit G-5 
 CHAPARRAL ENERGY, L.L.C. 
 CREDIT AGREEMENT

 
in the form of Exhibit A hereto promptly following the acquisition or creation by Pledgor of such Subsidiary, which confirms that the Equity of
such Subsidiary shall be included within the definition of Pledged Equity hereunder. 
  
 (c) Delivery of Pledged Equity. All certificates, instruments and writings evidencing the Pledged Equity shall be delivered to Pledgee on or prior to the execution and delivery of this Agreement. All other
certificates, instruments and writings hereafter evidencing or constituting Pledged Equity shall be delivered to Pledgee promptly upon the receipt thereof by or on behalf of Pledgor. All Pledged Equity shall be held by or on behalf of Pledgee
pursuant hereto and shall be delivered in the same manner and with the same effect as described in Section 2.1 hereof and Section 3.1 hereof. Upon delivery, such Equity shall thereupon constitute “Pledged Equity” and shall be
subject to the Liens herein created, for the purposes and upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. 
  
 (d) Proceeds of Pledged Equity. If Pledgor shall receive, by virtue of its being or having been an owner of any Pledged Equity, any (i) Equity
(including any certificate representing any Equity or distribution in connection with any increase or reduction of capital, reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation, sale of assets, or spinoff or split-off), promissory note or other
instrument or writing; (ii) option or right, whether as an addition to, substitution for, or in exchange for, any Pledged Equity or otherwise; (iii) dividends or other distributions payable in cash (except such dividends or other
distributions permitted to be retained by Pledgor pursuant to Section 4.7 hereof) or in securities or other property; or (iv) dividends or other distributions in connection with (A) a partial or total liquidation or dissolution or
(B) a reduction of capital, capital surplus or paid-in surplus, Pledgor shall receive the same in trust for the benefit of Pledgee, shall segregate it from Pledgor’s other property, and shall promptly deliver it to Pledgee in the exact
form received, with any necessary endorsement or appropriate stock powers duly executed in blank, to be held by Pledgee as Collateral. 
  
 (e) Status of Pledged Equity. The certificates evidencing the Pledged Equity (as applicable) shall at all times be valid and genuine and shall not
be altered. The Pledged Equity at all times shall be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid, and non-assessable (as applicable), shall not be issued in violation of the pre-emptive rights of any Person or of any agreement by which Pledgor or
any Subsidiary is bound, and, except for the bylaws or other organizational documents of any Subsidiary, shall not be subject to any restrictions or conditions with respect to the transfer, voting or capital of any Pledged Equity. 
  
 Section 3.3. Negative Covenants. Unless Pledgee shall otherwise
consent in writing, Pledgor will at all times comply with the covenants contained in this Section 3.3 from the date hereof and so long as any part of the Obligations or the Commitments is outstanding. 
  
 (a) Transfer or Encumbrance. Pledgor will not sell, assign (by
operation of law or otherwise), transfer, exchange, lease or otherwise dispose of any of the Collateral, nor will Pledgor grant a Lien upon or execute, file or record any financing statement or other registration with respect to the Collateral
(other than the security interests created by this Agreement), nor will Pledgor allow any such Lien, financing statement, or other registration to exist or deliver actual or constructive possession of the Collateral to any other Person other than
Liens in favor of Pledgee and those provided in Section 3.1(d)(iv). Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as 

  

 Exhibit G-6 
 CHAPARRAL ENERGY, L.L.C. 
 CREDIT AGREEMENT

 
no Default or Event of Default exists, Pledgor may transfer, exchange or otherwise dispose of Pledged Equity in connection with a merger or consolidation
permitted by Section 9.11 of the Credit Agreement. Upon any such merger or consolidation, Pledgee will, upon Pledgor’s request and at Pledgor’s expense, promptly (a) release its security interest in the Collateral that is being
transferred, exchanged or disposed of in connection with such merger or consolidation, (b) return to Pledgor such of the Collateral that is being transferred, exchanged or disposed of in connection with such merger or consolidation, and
(c) execute and deliver to Pledgor such documents as Pledgor may reasonably request to evidence Pledgee’s release of its security interest in such Collateral. 
  
 (b) Financing Statement Filings. Pledgor recognizes that financing statements pertaining to the Collateral have been
or may be filed in the jurisdiction of Pledgor’s organization, where Pledgor maintains any Collateral, has its records concerning any Collateral, has its chief executive office or chief place of business, or has its principal place of
residence. Without limitation of any other covenant herein, Pledgor will not cause or permit any change to be made in its name, identity, corporate structure or jurisdiction of organization, or any change to be made to a jurisdiction other than as
represented in the Credit Agreement in (i) the location of any records concerning any Collateral, or (ii) the location of its chief executive office, chief place of business or principal place of residence, unless Pledgor shall have
notified Pledgee of such change at least fifteen (15) days prior to the effective date of such change, and shall have first taken all action reasonably required by Pledgee for the purpose of further perfecting or protecting the security
interest in favor of Pledgee in the Collateral. In any notice furnished pursuant to this subsection, Pledgor will expressly state that the notice is required by this Agreement and contains facts that may require additional filings of financing
statements or other notices for the purposes of continuing perfection of Pledgee’s security interest in the Collateral. 
  
 (c) Impairment of Security Interest. Pledgor will not take or fail to take any action which would in any manner impair the enforceability of
Pledgee’s security interest in any Collateral. 
  
 (d)
Restrictions on Pledged Equity. Except for the bylaws, limited liability company agreement, regulations, partnership agreement or other charter or organizational documents of Subsidiaries, Pledgor will not enter into any agreement creating,
or otherwise permit to exist, any restriction or condition upon the transfer, voting or control of any Pledged Equity. 
  
 ARTICLE IV 
 Remedies, Powers and Authorizations

  
 Section 4.1. Provisions Concerning the Collateral.

  
 (a) Additional Financing Statement Filings. Pledgor
hereby authorizes Pledgee to file, without the signature of Pledgor where permitted by law, one (1) or more financing or continuation statements, and amendments thereto, relating to the Collateral. 
  
 (b) Power of Attorney. Pledgor hereby irrevocably appoints Pledgee as
Pledgor’s attorney-in-fact and proxy, with full authority in the place and stead of Pledgor and in the name of Pledgor or otherwise, from time to time if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be 

  

 Exhibit G-7 
 CHAPARRAL ENERGY, L.L.C. 
 CREDIT AGREEMENT

 
continuing, in Pledgee’s discretion, to take any action (except for the exercise of any voting rights pertaining to the Pledged Equity or any part
thereof) and to execute any instrument, certificate or notice which Pledgee may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement including: (i) to request or instruct Pledgor or any Subsidiary (and each registrar,
transfer agent, or similar Person acting on behalf of Pledgor or any Subsidiary) to register the Pledged Equity or transfer the Collateral to Pledgee; (ii) to otherwise give notification to Pledgor, any Subsidiary, registrar, transfer agent,
financial intermediary, or other Person of Pledgee’s security interests hereunder; (iii) to ask, demand, collect, sue for, recover, compound, receive and give acquittance and receipts for moneys due and to become due under or in respect of
any of the Collateral; (iv) to receive, indorse and collect any drafts or other instruments, documents and chattel paper; and (v) to file any claims or take any action or institute any proceedings which Pledgee may deem necessary or
desirable for the collection of any of the Collateral or otherwise to enforce the rights of Pledgee with respect to any of the Collateral. 
  
 (c) Performance by Pledgee. If Pledgor fails to perform any agreement or obligation contained herein, Pledgee may itself perform, or cause
performance of, such agreement or obligation, and the expenses of Pledgee incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by Pledgor under Section 4.4 hereof. 
  
 (d) Collection Rights. Pledgee shall have the right at any time, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, to notify any or all obligors (including any and all Subsidiaries) under any accounts or general intangibles included among the Collateral of the assignment thereof to Pledgee and to direct such obligors to make payment of all amounts
due or to become due to Pledgor thereunder directly to Pledgee and, upon such notification and at the expense of Pledgor and to the extent permitted by law, to enforce collection thereof and to adjust, settle or compromise the amount or payment
thereof, in the same manner and to the same extent as Pledgor could have done. After Pledgor receives notice that Pledgee has given any notice referred to above in this subsection, (i) all amounts and proceeds (including instruments and
writings) received by Pledgor in respect of such accounts or general intangibles shall be received in trust for the benefit of Pledgee hereunder, shall be segregated from other funds of Pledgor and shall be forthwith paid over to Pledgee in the same
form as so received (with any necessary endorsement) to be held as cash collateral and (A) released to Pledgor upon the remedy of all Events of Default, or (B) if any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, applied as
specified in Section 4.3 hereof; and (ii) Pledgor will not adjust, settle or compromise the amount or payment of any such account or general intangible or release wholly or partly any account debtor or obligor thereof or allow any credit
or discount thereon. 
  
 Section 4.2. Event of Default
Remedies. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Pledgee may from time to time in its discretion, without limitation and without notice except as expressly provided below: 
  
 (a) exercise in respect of the Collateral, in addition to other rights and
remedies provided for herein, under the other Obligation Documents or otherwise available to it, all the rights and remedies of a secured party on default under the Code (whether or not the Code applies to the affected Collateral); 
  

 Exhibit G-8 
 CHAPARRAL ENERGY, L.L.C. 
 CREDIT AGREEMENT

 (b) require Pledgor to, and Pledgor hereby agrees that it will upon request of Pledgee forthwith,
assemble all or part of the Collateral as directed by Pledgee and make it available to Pledgee at a place to be designated by Pledgee which is reasonably convenient to both parties; 
  
 (c) reduce its claim to judgment against Pledgor or foreclose or otherwise enforce, in whole or in part, the security
interest created hereby by any available judicial procedure; 
  
 (d) dispose of, at its office, on the premises of Pledgor or elsewhere, all or any part of the Collateral, as a unit or in parcels, by public or private proceedings, and by way of one or more contracts (it being agreed that the sale of any
part of the Collateral shall not exhaust Pledgee’s power of sale, but sales may be made from time to time, and at any time, until all of the Collateral has been sold or until the Obligations have been paid and performed in full), and at any
such sale it shall not be necessary to exhibit any of the Collateral; 
  
 (e) buy (or allow any Lender to buy) the Collateral, or any part thereof, at any public sale; 
  
 (f) buy (or allow any Lender to buy) the Collateral, or any part thereof, at any private sale if the Collateral is of a type customarily sold in a
recognized market or is of a type which is the subject of widely distributed standard price quotations; and 
  
 (g) apply by appropriate judicial proceedings for appointment of a receiver for the Collateral, or any part thereof, and Pledgor hereby consents to any
such appointment. 
  
 Pledgor agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be
required by law, at least ten (10) days’ notice to Pledgor of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification. Pledgee shall not be obligated to make any
sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. Pledgee may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time
and place to which it was so adjourned. 
  
 Section 4.3.
Application of Proceeds. If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Pledgee may in its discretion apply any cash held by Pledgee as Collateral, and any cash proceeds received by Pledgee in respect of any sale of,
collection from, or other realization upon all or any part of the Collateral, in the order and manner contemplated by Article IV of the Credit Agreement. 
  

Section 4.4. Release and Expenses. In addition to, and not in qualification of, any similar obligations under other Obligation Documents:

  
 (a) Pledgor agrees to release and forever discharge Pledgee
and each Lender from and against any and all claims, losses and liabilities growing out of or resulting from this Agreement (including enforcement of this Agreement), except to the extent such claim, loss or liability is found in a final,
non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The foregoing release and discharge shall apply whether or not such claims, losses and liabilities are in
any way or to any 

  

 Exhibit G-9 
 CHAPARRAL ENERGY, L.L.C. 
 CREDIT AGREEMENT

 
extent owed, in whole or in part, under any claim or theory of strict liability or are, to any extent caused, in whole or in part, by any negligent (but not
grossly negligent or willful as found in a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction) act or omission of any kind by Pledgee or any Lender. 
  
 (b) Pledgor will, and will cause each other Borrower to, upon demand pay to Pledgee the amount of any and all costs and
expenses, including the reasonable fees and disbursements of Pledgee’s counsel and of any experts and agents, which Pledgee may incur in connection with (i) the transactions which give rise to this Agreement; (ii) the preparation of
this Agreement and the perfection and preservation of the security interest created under this Agreement; (iii) the administration of this Agreement; (iv) the custody, preservation, use or operation of, or the sale of, collection from, or
other realization upon, any Collateral; (v) the exercise or enforcement of any of the rights of Pledgee hereunder; or (vi) the failure by Pledgor to perform or observe any of the provisions hereof, except expenses resulting from
Pledgee’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. 
  
 Section 4.5. Non-Judicial Remedies. In granting to Pledgee the power to enforce its rights hereunder without prior judicial process or judicial hearing, Pledgor expressly waives, renounces and knowingly relinquishes any legal
right which might otherwise require Pledgee to enforce its rights by judicial process. In so providing for non-judicial remedies, Pledgor recognizes and concedes that such remedies are consistent with the usage of trade, are responsive to commercial
necessity, and are the result of a bargain at arm’s length. Nothing herein is intended to prevent Pledgee or Pledgor from resorting to judicial process at either party’s option. 
  
 Section 4.6. Other Recourse. Pledgor waives any right to require Pledgee or Lenders to proceed against any other
Person, exhaust any Collateral or other security for the Obligations, or to have any Other Liable Party joined with Pledgor in any suit arising out of the Obligations or this Agreement, or pursue any other remedy in Pledgee’s power. Pledgor
further waives any and all notice of acceptance of this Agreement and of the creation, modification, rearrangement, renewal or extension for any period of any of the Obligations from time to time. Pledgor further waives any defense arising by reason
of any disability or other defense of any Other Liable Party or by reason of the cessation from any cause whatsoever of the liability of any Other Liable Party. Until all of the Obligations shall have been paid in full, Pledgor shall have no right
to subrogation and Pledgor waives the right to enforce any remedy which Pledgee or any Lender has or may hereafter have against any Other Liable Party, and waives any benefit of and any right to participate in any other security whatsoever now or
hereafter held by Pledgee. Pledgor authorizes Pledgee and each Lender, without notice or demand and without any reservation of rights against Pledgor and without affecting Pledgor’s liability hereunder or on the Obligations, from time to time
to (a) take or hold any other property of any type from any other Person as security for the Obligations, and exchange, enforce, waive and release any or all of such other property; (b) renew, extend for any period, accelerate, modify,
compromise, settle or release any of the obligations of any Other Liable Party in respect to any or all of the Obligations or other security for the Obligations; (c) waive, enforce, modify, amend or supplement any of the provisions of any
Obligation Document with any Person other than Pledgor; and (d) release or substitute any Other Liable Party. 
  

 Exhibit G-10 
 CHAPARRAL ENERGY, L.L.C. 
 CREDIT AGREEMENT

 Section 4.7. Voting Rights, Dividends Etc. in Respect of Pledged Equity. 
  
 (a) So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing
Pledgor may receive and retain any and all dividends, distributions or interest paid in respect of the Pledged Equity; provided, however, that any and all dividends, distributions and interest paid or payable other than in cash in
respect of, and instruments and other property received, receivable or otherwise distributed in respect of or in exchange for, any Pledged Equity, shall be, and shall forthwith be delivered to Pledgee to hold as, Pledged Equity and shall, if
received by Pledgor, be received in trust for the benefit of Pledgee, be segregated from the other property or funds of Pledgor, and be forthwith delivered to Pledgee in the exact form received with any necessary endorsement or appropriate stock
powers duly executed in blank, to be held by Pledgee as Collateral. 
  
 (b) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing: 
  
 (i) all rights of Pledgor to receive and retain the dividends, distributions and interest payments which Pledgor would otherwise be authorized to receive and retain pursuant to subsection (a) of this
Section 4.7 shall automatically cease, and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in Pledgee which shall thereupon have the right to receive and hold as Pledged Equity such dividends, distributions and interest payments; 
  
 (ii) without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
Pledgee may at its option exercise any and all rights of conversion, exchange, subscription or any other rights, privileges or options pertaining to any of the Pledged Equity (except voting rights) as if it were the absolute owner thereof, including
the right to exchange, in its discretion, any and all of the Pledged Equity upon the merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or other adjustment of Pledgor or any Subsidiary, or upon the exercise by Pledgor or any Subsidiary of any
right, privilege or option pertaining to any Pledged Equity, and, in connection therewith, to deposit and deliver any and all of the Pledged Equity with any committee, depository, transfer agent, registrar or other designated agent upon such terms
and conditions as it may determine; and 
  
 (iii)
all dividends and interest payments which are received by Pledgor contrary to the provisions of subsection (b) (i) of this Section 4.7 shall be received in trust for the benefit of Pledgee, shall be segregated from other funds of
Pledgor, and shall be forthwith paid over to Pledgee as Pledged Equity in the exact form received, to be held by Pledgee as Collateral. 
  
 Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, Pledgee may not exercise any voting rights pertaining to the Pledged Equity, and Pledgor may at all times exercise any
and all voting rights pertaining to the Pledged Equity or any part thereof for any purpose not inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement or any other Obligation Document; provided, however, if an Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing, Pledgor will not exercise or refrain from exercising any such right, as the case may be, if Pledgee gives notice that, in Pledgee’s judgment, such action would cause a Material Adverse Effect with respect to the
value of the Pledged Equity or the benefits to Pledgee of its security interest hereunder. 
  

 Exhibit G-11 
 CHAPARRAL ENERGY, L.L.C. 
 CREDIT AGREEMENT

 Section 4.8. Private Sale of Pledged Equity. Pledgor recognizes that Pledgee may deem it
impracticable to effect a public sale of all or any part of the Pledged Equity and that Pledgee may, therefore, determine to make one or more private sales of any such securities to a restricted group of purchasers who will be obligated to agree,
among other things, to acquire such securities for their own account, for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Pledgor acknowledges that any such private sale may be at prices and on terms less favorable to the
seller than the prices and other terms which might have been obtained at a public sale and, notwithstanding the foregoing, agrees that such private sales shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner and that Pledgee shall
have no obligation to delay the sale of any such securities for the period of time necessary to permit Pledgor or any Subsidiary to register such securities (with no obligation of either Pledgor or any Subsidiary to accomplish such registration) for
public sale under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Pledgor further acknowledges and agrees that any offer to sell such securities which has been (a) publicly advertised on a bona fide
basis in The Wall Street Journal, national edition (to the extent that such an offer may be so advertised without prior registration under the Securities Act), or (b) made privately in the manner described above to not less than fifteen
(15) bona fide offerees shall be deemed to involve a “public disposition” for the purposes of Section 9.610 of the Code (or any successor or similar, applicable statutory provision) as then in effect in the State of
Texas, notwithstanding that such sale may not constitute a “public offering” under the Securities Act, and that Pledgee may, in such event, bid for the purchase of such securities. 
  
 Section 4.9. Limitation on Rights and Waivers. All rights, powers
and remedies herein conferred shall be exercisable by Pledgee only to the extent not prohibited by applicable law; and all waivers and relinquishments of rights and similar matters shall only be effective to the extent such waivers or
relinquishments are not prohibited by applicable law.

in the mail. 
  
 Section 5.2. Amendments. No amendment
of any provision of this Agreement shall be effective unless it is in writing and signed by Pledgor, each other Borrower, Pledgee and Required Lenders (or all Lenders if required pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement), and no waiver of any
provision of this Agreement, and no consent to any departure by Pledgor therefrom, shall be effective unless it is in writing and signed by Pledgee and Required Lenders (or all Lenders if required pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement), and
then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given and to the extent specified in such writing. 
  
 Section 5.3. Preservation of Rights. No failure on the part of Pledgee or any Lender to exercise, and no delay
in exercising, any right hereunder or under any other Obligation Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other
right. Neither the execution nor the delivery of this Agreement shall in any manner impair or affect any other security for the Obligations. The rights and remedies of Pledgee and Lenders provided herein and in the other Obligation Documents are
cumulative of and are in addition to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies provided by law. The rights of Pledgee and Lenders under any Obligation Document against any party thereto are not conditional or contingent on any attempt by Pledgee
or Lenders to exercise any of its or their rights under any other Obligation Document against such party or against any other Person. 
  
 Section 5.4. Unenforceability. Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such
jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity without invalidating the remaining portions hereof or thereof or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction. 
  
 Section 5.5. Survival of Agreements. All representations and
warranties of Pledgor herein, and all covenants and agreements herein shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the execution and delivery of any other Obligation Documents and the creation of the Obligations. 
  

 Exhibit G-13 
 CHAPARRAL ENERGY, L.L.C. 
 CREDIT AGREEMENT

 Section 5.6. Other Liable Party. Neither this Agreement nor the exercise by Pledgee or any
Lender or the failure of Pledgee or any Lender to exercise any right, power or remedy conferred herein or by law shall be construed as relieving any Other Liable Party from liability on the Obligations or any deficiency thereon. This Agreement shall
continue irrespective of the fact that the liability of any Other Liable Party may have ceased or irrespective of the validity or enforceability of any other Obligation Document to which Pledgor or any Other Liable Party may be a party, and
notwithstanding the reorganization, death, incapacity or bankruptcy of any Other Liable Party, and notwithstanding the reorganization or bankruptcy or other event or proceeding affecting any Other Liable Party. 
  
 Section 5.7. Binding Effect and Assignment. This Agreement
creates a continuing security interest in the Collateral and (a) shall be binding on Pledgor and its successors and permitted assigns, and (b) shall inure, together with all rights and remedies of Pledgee hereunder, to the benefit of
Pledgee, Lenders, Secured Swap Providers and their respective successors, transferees and assigns. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Pledgee, Lenders and Secured Swap Providers may pledge, assign or otherwise transfer any or all of
their respective rights under any or all of the Obligation Documents to any other Person on the terms set forth in the Credit Agreement, and such other Person shall thereupon become vested with all of the benefits in respect thereof granted herein
or otherwise. None of the rights or duties of Pledgor hereunder may be assigned or otherwise transferred without the prior written consent of Pledgee and Required Lenders (or all Lenders if required pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement).

  
 Section 5.8. Termination. It is contemplated by
the parties hereto that there may be times when no Obligations are outstanding, but notwithstanding such occurrences, this Agreement shall remain valid and shall be in full force and effect as to subsequent outstanding Obligations. Upon the
satisfaction in full of the Obligations, upon the termination or expiration of the Credit Agreement and any other Commitment of Lenders to extend credit to Pledgor, and upon written request for the termination hereof delivered by Pledgor to Pledgee
and Lenders, this Agreement and the security interest created hereby shall terminate and all rights to the Collateral shall revert to Pledgor. Pledgee will, upon Pledgor’s request and at Pledgor’s expense, (a) return to Pledgor such
of the Collateral as shall not have been sold or otherwise disposed of or applied pursuant to the terms hereof, and (b) execute and deliver to Pledgor such documents as Pledgor shall reasonably request to evidence such termination. 

 
 Section 5.9. GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED
IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF TEXAS AND THE LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. 
  
 Section 5.10. Counterparts. This Agreement may be separately executed in any number of counterparts, all of which when so executed shall be
deemed to constitute one and the same Agreement.

 ARTICLE III 
 Representations, Warranties and
Covenants 
  
 Section 3.1. Representations and
Warranties. Pledgor represents and warrants as follows: 
  
 (a) Ownership and Liens. Pledgor has good and marketable title to the Collateral free and clear of all Liens, encumbrances or adverse claims, except for the security interest created by this Agreement and except as provided in
Section 3.1(d)(iv). No effective financing statement or other instrument similar in effect covering all or any part of the Collateral is on file in any recording office except such as have been filed in favor of Pledgee relating to this
Agreement or the other Loan Papers. 
  
 (b) No Conflicts or
Consents. Neither the ownership or the intended use of the Collateral by Pledgor, nor the grant of the security interest by Pledgor to Pledgee herein, nor the exercise by Pledgee of its rights or remedies hereunder, will (i) conflict with
any provision of (a) any domestic or foreign law, statute, rule or regulation, (b) the articles of organization, certificate of formation, certificate of incorporation, articles of incorporation, charter, bylaws, limited liability company
agreement or other organizational document of any Subsidiary, or (c) any agreement, judgment, license, order or permit applicable to or binding upon Pledgor or any Subsidiary; or (ii) result in or require the creation of any Lien, charge
or encumbrance upon any assets or properties of Pledgor except as expressly contemplated in the Obligation Documents. Except as expressly contemplated in the Obligation Documents, no consent, approval, authorization or order of, and no notice to or
filing with, any court, Governmental Authority, any Subsidiary, or third party is required in connection with the grant by Pledgor of the security interest herein, or, except as may be required under the Code, the exercise by Pledgee of its rights
and remedies hereunder. 
  
 (c) Security Interest. Pledgor
has and will have at all times full right, power and authority to grant a security interest in the Collateral to Pledgee in the manner provided herein, free and clear of any Lien, adverse claim, or encumbrance (except as provided in
Section 3.1(d)(iv)). This Agreement creates a valid and binding security interest in favor of Pledgee in the Collateral securing the Obligations. The taking possession by Pledgee (for the ratable benefit of Lenders) of all certificates,
instruments and cash constituting Collateral from time to time, together with appropriate stock powers, and the filing of the financing statements delivered concurrently herewith by Pledgor to Pledgee will perfect, and establish the priority
required by Section 3.1(d)(iv) of, Pledgee’s security interest hereunder in the Collateral securing the Obligations. No further or subsequent filing, recording, registration, other public notice or other action is necessary or desirable to
perfect or otherwise continue, preserve or protect such security interest except for continuation statements or filings as contemplated in Section 3.3(b) or otherwise by the Code.

cause to be terminated any financing statement or other registration with respect to the Collateral, except such as may exist or as may have been filed in favor of Pledgee. Pledgor will defend Pledgee’s security interest in and to the
Collateral against the claims of any Person.

may request in order to perfect and preserve the security interest created or purported to be created hereby, and (B) furnishing to Pledgee from time to time statements and schedules further identifying and describing the Collateral and such
other reports in connection with the Collateral as Pledgee may reasonably request, all in reasonable detail. Upon the creation or acquisition by Pledgor of any Subsidiary, Pledgor and such Subsidiary shall execute an acknowledgement to this
Agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto promptly following the acquisition or creation by Pledgor of such Subsidiary, which confirms that the Equity of such Subsidiary shall be included within the definition of Pledged
Equity hereunder.

 Exhibit H-6 
 CHAPARRAL ENERGY, L.L.C. 
 CREDIT AGREEMENT

 
Pledged Equity in connection with a merger or consolidation permitted by Section 9.11 of the Credit Agreement. Upon any such merger or consolidation,
Pledgee will, upon Pledgor’s request and at Pledgor’s expense, promptly (a) release its security interest in the Collateral that is being transferred, exchanged or disposed of in connection with such merger or consolidation,
(b) return to Pledgor such of the Collateral that is being transferred, exchanged or disposed of in connection with such merger or consolidation, and (c) execute and deliver to Pledgor such documents as Pledgor may reasonably request to
evidence Pledgee’s release of its security interest in such Collateral. 
  
 (b) Financing Statement Filings. Pledgor recognizes that financing statements pertaining to the Collateral have been or may be filed in the jurisdiction of Pledgor’s organization, where Pledgor maintains
any Collateral, has its records concerning any Collateral, has its chief executive office or chief place of business, or has its principal place of residence. Without limitation of any other covenant herein, Pledgor will not cause or permit any
change to be made in its name, identity, corporate structure or jurisdiction of organization, or any change to be made to a jurisdiction other than as represented in the Credit Agreement in (i) the location of any records concerning any
Collateral, or (ii) the location of its chief executive office, chief place of business or principal place of residence, unless Pledgor shall have notified Pledgee of such change at least fifteen (15) days prior to the effective date of
such change, and shall have first taken all action reasonably required by Pledgee for the purpose of further perfecting or protecting the security interest in favor of Pledgee in the Collateral. In any notice furnished pursuant to this subsection,
Pledgor will expressly state that the notice is required by this Agreement and contains facts that may require additional filings of financing statements or other notices for the purposes of continuing perfection of Pledgee’s security interest
in the Collateral. 
  
 (c) Impairment of Security Interest.
Pledgor will not take or fail to take any action which would in any manner impair the enforceability of Pledgee’s security interest in any Collateral. 
  
 (d) Restrictions on Pledged Equity. Except for the bylaws, limited liability company agreement, regulations, partnership agreement or other charter
or organizational documents of any Subsidiary, Pledgor will not enter into any agreement creating, or otherwise permit to exist, any restriction or condition upon the transfer, voting or control of any Pledged Equity. 
  
 ARTICLE IV 
 Remedies, Powers and Authorizations 
  
 Section 4.1. Provisions Concerning the Collateral. 
  
 (a) Additional Financing Statement Filings. Pledgor hereby authorizes Pledgee to file, without the signature of Pledgor where permitted by law, one
(1) or more financing or continuation statements, and amendments thereto, relating to the Collateral. 
  
 (b) Power of Attorney. Pledgor hereby irrevocably appoints Pledgee as Pledgor’s attorney-in-fact and proxy, with full authority in the place
and stead of Pledgor and in the name of Pledgor or otherwise, from time to time if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, in Pledgee’s discretion, to take any action (except for the exercise of any voting 

  

 Exhibit H-7 
 CHAPARRAL ENERGY, L.L.C. 
 CREDIT AGREEMENT

 
rights pertaining to the Pledged Equity or any part thereof) and to execute any instrument, certificate or notice which Pledgee may deem necessary or
advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement including: (i) to request or instruct Pledgor or any Subsidiary (and each registrar, transfer agent, or similar Person acting on behalf of Pledgor or any Subsidiary) to register the Pledged
Equity or transfer the Collateral to Pledgee; (ii) to otherwise give notification to Pledgor, any Subsidiary, registrar, transfer agent, financial intermediary, or other Person of Pledgee’s security interests hereunder; (iii) to ask,

respect to any of the Collateral. 
  
 (c) Performance by
Pledgee. If Pledgor fails to perform any agreement or obligation contained herein, Pledgee may itself perform, or cause performance of, such agreement or obligation, and the expenses of Pledgee incurred in connection therewith shall be payable
by Pledgor under Section 4.4 hereof. 
  
 (d) Collection
Rights. Pledgee shall have the right at any time, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, to notify any or all obligors (including any and all Subsidiaries) under any accounts or general intangibles included among the
Collateral of the assignment thereof to Pledgee and to direct such obligors to make payment of all amounts due or to become due to Pledgor thereunder directly to Pledgee and, upon such notification and at the expense of Pledgor or Borrowers and to
the extent permitted by law, to enforce collection thereof and to adjust, settle or compromise the amount or payment thereof, in the same manner and to the same extent as Pledgor could have done. After Pledgor receives notice that Pledgee has given
any notice referred to above in this subsection, (i) all amounts and proceeds (including instruments and writings) received by Pledgor in respect of such accounts or general intangibles shall be received in trust for the benefit of Pledgee
hereunder, shall be segregated from other funds of Pledgor and shall be forthwith paid over to Pledgee in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement) to be held as cash collateral and (A) released to Pledgor upon the remedy of
all Events of Default, or (B) if any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, applied as specified in Section 4.3 hereof; and (ii) Pledgor will not adjust, settle or compromise the amount or payment of any such account
or general intangible or release wholly or partly any account debtor or obligor thereof (including any Borrower) or allow any credit or discount thereon. 
  
 Section 4.2. Event of Default Remedies. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Pledgee may from time to time in its
discretion, without limitation and without notice except as expressly provided below:

party on default under the Code (whether or not the Code applies to the affected Collateral); 
  

 Exhibit H-8 
 CHAPARRAL ENERGY, L.L.C. 
 CREDIT AGREEMENT

 (b) require Pledgor to, and Pledgor hereby agrees that it will upon request of Pledgee forthwith,
assemble all or part of the Collateral as directed by Pledgee and make it available to Pledgee at a place to be designated by Pledgee which is reasonably convenient to both parties; 
  
 (c) reduce its claim to judgment against Pledgor or foreclose or otherwise enforce, in whole or in part, the security
interest created hereby by any available judicial procedure; 
  
 (d) dispose of, at its office, on the premises of Pledgor or elsewhere, all or any part of the Collateral, as a unit or in parcels, by public or private proceedings, and by way of one or more contracts (it being agreed that the sale of any
part of the Collateral shall not exhaust Pledgee’s power of sale, but sales may be made from time to time, and at any time, until all of the Collateral has been sold or until the Obligations have been paid and performed in full), and at any
such sale it shall not be necessary to exhibit any of the Collateral; 
  
 (e) buy (or allow any Lender to buy) the Collateral, or any part thereof, at any public sale; 
  
 (f) buy (or allow any Lender to buy) the Collateral, or any part thereof, at any private sale if the Collateral is of a type customarily sold in a
recognized market or is of a type which is the subject of widely distributed standard price quotations; and 
  
 (g) apply by appropriate judicial proceedings for appointment of a receiver for the Collateral, or any part thereof, and Pledgor hereby consents to any
such appointment. 
  
 Pledgor agrees that, to the extent notice of
sale shall be required by law, at least ten (10) days’ notice to Pledgor of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification. Pledgee shall not be
obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. Pledgee may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further
notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned. 
  
 Section 4.3. Application of Proceeds. If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Pledgee may in its discretion apply any cash held by Pledgee as Collateral, and any cash proceeds received by Pledgee in
respect of any sale of, collection from, or other realization upon all or any part of the Collateral, in the order and manner contemplated by Article IV of the Credit Agreement. 
  
 Section 4.4. Release and Expenses. In addition to, and not in qualification of, any similar obligations under
other Obligation Documents: 
  
 (a) Pledgor agrees to release and
forever discharge Pledgee and each Lender from and against any and all claims, losses and liabilities growing out of or resulting from this Agreement (including enforcement of this Agreement), except to the extent such claim, loss or liability is
found in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The foregoing release and discharge shall apply whether or not such claims, losses and
liabilities are in any way or to any 

  

 Exhibit H-9 
 CHAPARRAL ENERGY, L.L.C. 
 CREDIT AGREEMENT

 
extent owed, in whole or in part, under any claim or theory of strict liability or are, to any extent caused, in whole or in part, by any negligent (but not
grossly negligent or willful as found in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction) act or omission of any kind by Pledgee or any Lender. 
  
 (b) Pledgor will, and will cause each Borrower to, upon demand pay to Pledgee the amount of any and all costs and expenses,
including the reasonable fees and disbursements of Pledgee’s counsel and of any experts and agents, which Pledgee may incur in connection with (i) the transactions which give rise to this Agreement; (ii) the preparation of this
Agreement and the perfection and preservation of the security interest created under this Agreement; (iii) the administration of this Agreement; (iv) the custody, preservation, use or operation of, or the sale of, collection from, or other
realization upon, any Collateral; (v) the exercise or enforcement of any of the rights of Pledgee hereunder; or (vi) the failure by Pledgor to perform or observe any of the provisions hereof, except expenses resulting from Pledgee’s
gross negligence or willful misconduct. 
  
 Section 4.5.
Non-Judicial Remedies. In granting to Pledgee the power to enforce its rights hereunder without prior judicial process or judicial hearing, Pledgor expressly waives, renounces and knowingly relinquishes any legal right which might otherwise
require Pledgee to enforce its rights by judicial process. In so providing for non-judicial remedies, Pledgor recognizes and concedes that such remedies are consistent with the usage of trade, are responsive to commercial necessity, and are the
result of a bargain at arm’s length. Nothing herein is intended to prevent Pledgee or Pledgor from resorting to judicial process at either party’s option. 
  
 Section 4.6. Other Recourse. Pledgor waives any right to require Pledgee or Lenders to proceed against any other
Person, exhaust any Collateral or other security for the Obligations, or to have any Other Liable Party joined with Pledgor in any suit arising out of the Obligations or this Agreement, or pursue any other remedy in Pledgee’s power. Pledgor
further waives any and all notice of acceptance of this Agreement and of the creation, modification, rearrangement, renewal or extension for any period of any of the Obligations from time to time. Pledgor further waives any defense arising by reason
of any disability or other defense of any Other Liable Party or by reason of the cessation from any cause whatsoever of the liability of any Other Liable Party. Until all of the Obligations shall have been paid in full, Pledgor shall have no right
to subrogation and Pledgor waives the right to enforce any remedy which Pledgee or any Lender has or may hereafter have against any Other Liable Party, and waives any benefit of and any right to participate in any other security whatsoever now or
hereafter held by Pledgee. Pledgor authorizes Pledgee and each Lender, without notice or demand and without any reservation of rights against Pledgor and without affecting Pledgor’s liability hereunder or on the Obligations, from time to time
to (a) take or hold any other property of any type from any other Person as security for the Obligations, and exchange, enforce, waive and release any or all of such other property; (b) renew, extend for any period, accelerate, modify,
compromise, settle or release any of the obligations of any Other Liable Party in respect to any or all of the Obligations or other security for the Obligations; (c) waive, enforce, modify, amend or supplement any of the provisions of any
Obligation Document with any Person other than Pledgor; and (d) release or substitute any Other Liable Party.

respect of, and instruments and other property received, receivable or otherwise distributed in respect of or in exchange for, any Pledged Equity, shall be, and shall forthwith be delivered to Pledgee to hold as, Pledged Equity and shall, if
received by Pledgor, be received in trust for the benefit of Pledgee, be segregated from the other property or funds of Pledgor, and be forthwith delivered to Pledgee in the exact form received with any necessary endorsement or appropriate stock
powers duly executed in blank, to be held by Pledgee as Collateral. 
  
 (b) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing: 
  
 (i) all rights of Pledgor to receive and retain the dividends, distributions and interest payments which Pledgor would otherwise be authorized to receive and retain pursuant to subsection (a) of this
Section 4.7 shall automatically cease, and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in Pledgee which shall thereupon have the right to receive and hold as Pledged Equity such dividends, distributions and interest payments; 
  
 (ii) without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
Pledgee may at its option exercise any and all rights of conversion, exchange, subscription or any other rights, privileges or options pertaining to any of the Pledged Equity (except voting rights) as if it were the absolute owner thereof, including
the right to exchange, in its discretion, any and all of the Pledged Equity upon the merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or other adjustment of Pledgor or any Subsidiary, or upon the exercise by Pledgor or any Subsidiary of any
right, privilege or option pertaining to any Pledged Equity, and, in connection therewith, to deposit and deliver any and all of the Pledged Equity with any committee, depository, transfer agent, registrar or other designated agent upon such terms
and conditions as it may determine; and 
  
 (iii)
all dividends and interest payments which are received by Pledgor contrary to the provisions of subsection (b) (i) of this Section 4.7 shall be received in trust for the benefit of Pledgee, shall be segregated from other funds of
Pledgor, and shall be forthwith paid over to Pledgee as Pledged Equity in the exact form received, to be held by Pledgee as Collateral. 
  
 Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, Pledgee may not exercise any voting rights pertaining to the Pledged Equity, and Pledgor may at all times exercise any
and all voting rights pertaining to the Pledged Equity or any part thereof for any purpose not inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement or any other Obligation Document; provided, however, if an Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing, Pledgor will not exercise or refrain from exercising any such right, as the case may be, if Pledgee gives notice that, in Pledgee’s judgment, such action would cause a Material Adverse Effect with respect to the
value of the Pledged Equity or the benefits to Pledgee of its security interest hereunder. 
  
 Section 4.8. Private Sale of Pledged Equity. Pledgor recognizes that Pledgee may deem it impracticable to effect a public sale of all or any part of the Pledged Equity and that 

  

 Exhibit H-11 
 CHAPARRAL ENERGY, L.L.C. 
 CREDIT AGREEMENT

 
Pledgee may, therefore, determine to make one or more private sales of any such securities to a restricted group of purchasers who will be obligated to
agree, among other things, to acquire such securities for their own account, for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Pledgor acknowledges that any such private sale may be at prices and on terms less favorable to
the seller than the prices and other terms which might have been obtained at a public sale and, notwithstanding the foregoing, agrees that such private sales shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner and that Pledgee
shall have no obligation to delay the sale of any such securities for the period of time necessary to permit Pledgor or any Subsidiary to register such securities (with no obligation of either Pledgor or any Subsidiary to accomplish such
registration) for public sale under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Pledgor further acknowledges and agrees that any offer to sell such securities which has been (a) publicly advertised on a
bona fide basis in The Wall Street Journal, national edition (to the extent that such an offer may be so advertised without prior registration under the Securities Act), or (b) made privately in the manner described above
to not less than fifteen (15) bona fide offerees shall be deemed to involve a “public disposition” for the purposes of Section 9.610 of the Code (or any successor or similar, applicable statutory provision) as then
in effect in the State of Texas, notwithstanding that such sale may not constitute a “public offering” under the Securities Act, and that Pledgee may, in such event, bid for the purchase of such securities. 
  
 Section 4.9. Limitation on Rights and Waivers. All rights, powers
and remedies herein conferred shall be exercisable by Pledgee only to the extent not prohibited by applicable law; and all waivers and relinquishments of rights and similar matters shall only be effective to the extent such waivers or
relinquishments are not prohibited by applicable law.

applicable party sent in accordance herewith. Any such notice or communication shall be deemed to have been given (a) in the case of personal delivery or delivery service, as of the date of first attempted delivery at the address or in the
manner provided herein, (b) in the case of telecopy, upon receipt with confirmation (if sent before 4:00 p.m. local time of the receiving party on a Business Day) or the next Business Day (if sent after 4:00 p.m. of such local time or
sent on a day that is not a Business Day), or (c) in the case of registered or certified United States mail, three (3) Business Days after deposit in the mail. 
  
 Section 5.2. Amendments. No amendment of any provision of this Agreement shall be effective unless it is in
writing and signed by Pledgor, each Borrower, Pledgee and Required Lenders (or all Lenders if required pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement), and no waiver of any provision of this Agreement, and no consent to any departure by Pledgor
therefrom, shall be effective unless it is in writing and signed by Pledgee and Required Lenders (or all Lenders if required pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement), and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific
instance and for the specific purpose for which given and to the extent specified in such writing. 
  
 Section 5.3. Preservation of Rights. No failure on the part of Pledgee or any Lender to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right
hereunder or under any other Obligation Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. Neither the execution
nor the delivery of this Agreement shall in any manner impair or affect any other security for the Obligations. The rights and remedies of Pledgee and Lenders provided herein and in the other Obligation Documents are cumulative of and are in
addition to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies provided by law. The rights of Pledgee and Lenders under any Obligation Document against any party thereto are not conditional or contingent on any attempt by Pledgee or Lenders to exercise
any of its or their rights under any other Obligation Document against such party or against any other Person. 
  
 Section 5.4. Unenforceability. Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such
jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity without invalidating the remaining portions hereof or thereof or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction. 
  
 Section 5.5. Survival of Agreements. All representations and
warranties of Pledgor herein, and all covenants and agreements herein shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the execution and delivery of any other Obligation Documents and the creation of the Obligations. 
  
 Section 5.6. Other Liable Party. Neither this Agreement nor the
exercise by Pledgee or any Lender or the failure of Pledgee or any Lender to exercise any right, power or remedy conferred herein or by law shall be construed as relieving any Other Liable Party from liability on the Obligations or any deficiency
thereon. This Agreement shall continue irrespective of the fact that the liability of any Other Liable Party may have ceased or irrespective of the validity or enforceability of any other Obligation Document to which Pledgor or any Other Liable
Party may be a party, and notwithstanding the reorganization, death, incapacity or bankruptcy of any Other Liable Party, and notwithstanding the reorganization or bankruptcy or other event or proceeding affecting any Other Liable Party. 

 

 Exhibit H-13 
 CHAPARRAL ENERGY, L.L.C. 
 CREDIT AGREEMENT

 Section 5.7. Binding Effect and Assignment. This Agreement creates a continuing security
interest in the Collateral and (a) shall be binding on Pledgor and its successors and permitted assigns, and (b) shall inure, together with all rights and remedies of Pledgee hereunder, to the benefit of Pledgee, Lenders, Secured Swap
Providers and their respective successors, transferees and assigns. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Pledgee, Lenders and Secured Swap Providers may pledge, assign or otherwise transfer any or all of their respective rights under
any or all of the Obligation Documents to any other Person on the terms set forth in the Credit Agreement, and such other Person shall thereupon become vested with all of the benefits in respect thereof granted herein or otherwise. None of the
rights or duties of Pledgor hereunder may be assigned or otherwise transferred without the prior written consent of Pledgee and Required Lenders (or all Lenders if required pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement). 
  
 Section 5.8. Termination. It is contemplated by the parties
hereto that there may be times when no Obligations are outstanding, but notwithstanding such occurrences, this Agreement shall remain valid and shall be in full force and effect as to subsequent outstanding Obligations. Upon the satisfaction in full
of the Obligations, upon the termination or expiration of the Credit Agreement and any other Commitment of Lenders to extend credit to Borrowers, and upon written request for the termination hereof delivered by Pledgor to Pledgee and Lenders, this
Agreement and the security interest created hereby shall terminate and all rights to the Collateral shall revert to Pledgor. Pledgee will, upon Pledgor’s request and at Pledgor’s expense, (a) return to Pledgor such of the Collateral
as shall not have been sold or otherwise disposed of or applied pursuant to the terms hereof, and (b) execute and deliver to Pledgor such documents as Pledgor shall reasonably request to evidence such termination. 
  
 Section 5.9. GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF TEXAS AND THE LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. 
  
 Section 5.10. Counterparts. This Agreement may be separately executed in any number of counterparts, all of which when so executed shall be
deemed to constitute one and the same Agreement. 
  
 Section 5.11. Loan Paper. This Agreement is a “Loan Paper”, as defined in the Credit Agreement, and, except as expressly provided herein to the contrary, this Agreement is subject to all provisions of the Credit
Agreement governing the Loan Papers.

 FORM OF GUARANTYAGREEMENT 
  
 THIS GUARANTY AGREEMENT (this “Guaranty”) is dated as of the      day of             ,
            , by [Chaparral, L.L.C., an Oklahoma limited liability company] [Subsidiary, a
            ] (“Guarantor”), in favor of JPMORGAN CHASE BANK, N.A., each of the other financial institutions from time to time party to the Credit Agreement (as
hereinafter defined) as Lenders (as defined in the Credit Agreement), and, in the case of any Swap Agreement (as defined in the Credit Agreement), any Secured Swap Provider (as defined in the Credit Agreement) and each of their successors and
assigns as permitted pursuant to the Credit Agreement (the Lenders, any Secured Swap Provider and each of their successors and assigns are collectively referred to herein as “Beneficiaries”). 
  
 W I T N E S S E
T H: 
  
 WHEREAS, CHAPARRAL,
L.L.C., an Oklahoma limited liability company, CHAPARRAL ENERGY, L.L.C., an Oklahoma limited liability company (as a Borrower and as Borrower Representative, “Chaparral”),
NORAM PETROLEUM, L.L.C., an Oklahoma limited liability company (“NorAm”), CHAPARRAL RESOURCES, L.L.C., an Oklahoma limited liability company
(“Resources”), TRIUMPH TOOLS & SUPPLY, L.L.C., an Oklahoma limited liability company (“Tools”), CHAPARRAL CO2, L.L.C., an Oklahoma limited liability company (“CO2”),
CHAPARRAL OIL, L.L.C., an Oklahoma limited liability company (“Oil”), CHAPARRAL REAL ESTATE, L.L.C., an Oklahoma limited liability company
(“Real Estate”), and CHAPARRAL TEXAS, L.P., an Oklahoma limited partnership (“Chaparral Texas” and, together with Chaparral, NorAm, Resources, Tools, CO2, Oil and Real Estate, collectively, “Borrowers” and each individually, a “Borrower”),
Lenders, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent (“Administrative Agent”) and the other agents a party to the Credit Agreement are parties to that certain Sixth Restated Credit Agreement (as amended, the “Credit
Agreement”) dated as of June 22, 2005, pursuant to which Lenders have made a revolving credit loan to Borrowers (unless otherwise defined herein, all terms used herein with their initial letter capitalized shall have the meaning given
such terms in the Credit Agreement); and 
  
 WHEREAS,
Lenders have required, as a condition to extending credit under the Credit Agreement, that Guarantor execute and deliver this Guaranty; and 
  
 WHEREAS, Guarantor has determined that valuable benefits will be derived by it as a result of the Credit Agreement and the extension of credit made (and
to be made) by Lenders thereunder; and 
  
 WHEREAS, Guarantor has
further determined that the benefits accruing to it from the Credit Agreement exceed Guarantor’s anticipated liability under this Guaranty. 
  
 NOW, THEREFORE, for valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged and confessed, Guarantor hereby covenants and
agrees as follows: 
  

 Exhibit I-1 
 CHAPARRAL ENERGY, L.L.C. 
 CREDIT AGREEMENT

 1. Guarantor hereby absolutely and unconditionally guarantees the prompt, complete and full payment when
due, no matter how such shall become due, of the Indebtedness, and further guarantees that Borrowers will properly and timely perform the Indebtedness and other obligations and liabilities of Borrowers under the Credit Agreement, Notes and other
Loan Documents. Notwithstanding any contrary provision in this Guaranty, however, Guarantor’s maximum liability under this Guaranty is limited, to the extent, if any, required so that its liability is not subject to avoidance under applicable
Debtor Relief Laws (as such term is defined in Paragraph 8 hereof). 
  
 2. If Guarantor is or becomes liable for any indebtedness owing by Borrowers to any Beneficiary by endorsement or otherwise than under this Guaranty, such liability shall not be in any manner impaired or affected hereby, and the rights of
Beneficiaries hereunder shall be cumulative of any and all other rights that Beneficiaries may ever have against Guarantor. The exercise by any Beneficiary of any right or remedy hereunder or under any other instrument, at law or in equity, shall
not preclude the concurrent or subsequent exercise of any other right or remedy. 
  
 3. In the event of default by Borrowers in payment of the Indebtedness, or any part thereof, when such Indebtedness become due, either by its terms or as the result of the exercise of any power to accelerate,
Guarantor shall, on demand, and without further notice of dishonor and without any notice having been given to Guarantor previous to such demand of the acceptance by Beneficiaries of this Guaranty, and without any notice having been given to such
Guarantor previous to such demand of the creating or incurring of such Indebtedness, pay the amount due thereon to Beneficiaries at Administrative Agent’s office as set forth in the Credit Agreement, and it shall not be necessary for any
Beneficiary, in order to enforce such payment by Guarantor, first, to institute suit or exhaust its remedies against Borrowers or others liable on such Indebtedness, to have Borrowers joined with Guarantor in any suit brought under this Guaranty or
to enforce its rights against any security which shall ever have been given to secure such indebtedness; provided, however, that in the event any Beneficiary elects to enforce and/or exercise any remedies it may possess with respect to
any security for the Indebtedness prior to demanding payment from Guarantor, Guarantor shall nevertheless be obligated hereunder for any and all sums still owing to Beneficiaries on the Indebtedness and not repaid or recovered incident to the
exercise of such remedies. 
  
 4. Notice to Guarantor of the
acceptance of this Guaranty and of the making, renewing or assignment of the Indebtedness and each item thereof, are hereby expressly waived by Guarantor. 
  
 5. Each payment on the Indebtedness shall be deemed to have been made by Borrowers unless express written notice is given to Lenders at the time of such
payment that such payment is made by Guarantor as specified in such notice. 
  
 6. If all or any part of the Indebtedness at any time is secured, Guarantor agrees that Administrative Agent and/or Lenders may at any time and from time to time, at their discretion and with or without valuable
consideration, allow substitution or withdrawal of collateral or other security and release collateral or other security or compromise or settle any amount due or owing under the Credit Agreement or amend or modify in whole or in part the Credit
Agreement 

  

 Exhibit I-2 
 CHAPARRAL ENERGY, L.L.C. 
 CREDIT AGREEMENT

 
or any Loan Document executed in connection with same without impairing or diminishing the Indebtedness of Guarantor hereunder. Guarantor further agrees that
if any Borrower executes in favor of any Beneficiary any collateral agreement, mortgage or other security instrument, the exercise by any Beneficiary of any right or remedy thereby conferred on such Beneficiary shall be wholly discretionary with
such Beneficiary, and that the exercise or failure to exercise any such right or remedy shall in no way impair or diminish the obligation of Guarantor hereunder. Guarantor further agrees that Beneficiaries and Administrative Agent shall not be
liable for their failure to use diligence in the collection of the Indebtedness or in preserving the liability of any person liable for the Indebtedness, and Guarantor hereby waives presentment for payment, notice of nonpayment, protest and notice
thereof (including, notice of acceleration), and diligence in bringing suits against any Person liable on the Indebtedness, or any part thereof. 
  
 7. Guarantor agrees that Beneficiaries, in their discretion, may (i) bring suit against all guarantors (including, without limitation, Guarantor
hereunder) of the Indebtedness jointly and severally or against any one or more of them, (ii) compound or settle with any one or more of such guarantors for such consideration as Beneficiaries may deem proper, and (iii) release one or more
of such guarantors from liability hereunder, and that no such action shall impair the rights of Beneficiaries to collect the Indebtedness (or the unpaid balance thereof) from other such guarantors of the Indebtedness, or any of them, not so sued,
settled with or released. Guarantor agrees, however, that nothing contained in this paragraph, and no action by Beneficiaries permitted under this paragraph, shall in any way affect or impair the rights or Indebtedness of such guarantors among
themselves. 
  
 8. Guarantor represents and warrants to each
Lender that (i) Guarantor is a corporation, limited liability company or partnership duly organized and validly existing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or formation; (ii) Guarantor possesses all requisite authority
and power to authorize, execute, deliver and comply with the terms of this Guaranty; (iii) this Guaranty has been duly authorized and approved by all necessary action on the part of Guarantor and constitutes a valid and binding obligation of
Guarantor enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as (a) the enforcement thereof may be limited by applicable Debtor Relief Laws, and (b) the availability of equitable remedies may be limited by equitable principles of general
applicability; and (iv) no approval or consent of any court or governmental entity is required for the authorization, execution, delivery or compliance with this Guaranty which has not been obtained (and copies thereof delivered to Lenders). As
used in this Guaranty, the term “Debtor Relief Laws” means the Bankruptcy Code of the United States of America and all other applicable liquidation, conservatorship, bankruptcy, moratorium, rearrangement, receivership, insolvency,
reorganization, suspension of payments or similar debtor relief laws from time to time in effect affecting the rights of creditors generally. 
  
 9. Guarantor covenants and agrees that until the Indebtedness is paid and performed in full, except as otherwise provided in the Credit Agreement or
unless Lenders give their prior written consent to any deviation therefrom, it will (i) at all times maintain its existence and authority to transact business in any state or jurisdiction where Guarantor has assets and operations, except where
the failure to maintain such existence or authority would not have a Material Adverse Effect, (ii) promptly deliver to Lenders and to Administrative Agent such information respecting its business affairs, assets and liabilities as Lenders may
reasonably request, and (iii) duly and punctually observe and perform all covenants applicable to Guarantor under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents. 
  

 Exhibit I-3 
 CHAPARRAL ENERGY, L.L.C. 
 CREDIT AGREEMENT

 10. This Guaranty is for the benefit of Lenders, Secured Swap Providers, their successors and assigns,
and in the event of an assignment by Lenders or Secured Swap Providers (or their successors or assigns) of the Indebtedness, or any part thereof, the rights and benefits hereunder, to the extent applicable to the Indebtedness so assigned, may be
transferred with such Indebtedness. This Guaranty is binding upon Guarantor and its successors and assigns. 
  
 11. No modification, consent, amendment or waiver of any provision of this Guaranty, nor consent to any departure by Guarantor therefrom, shall be
effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Required Lenders (or all Lenders if required pursuant to the Credit Agreement), and then shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No notice
to or demand on Guarantor in any case shall, of itself, entitle Guarantor to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. No delay or omission by Lenders in exercising any power or right hereunder shall impair any such
right or power or be construed as a waiver thereof or any acquiescence therein, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power preclude other or further exercise thereof, or the exercise of any other right or power hereunder. All rights
and remedies of Lenders hereunder are cumulative of each other and of every other right or remedy which Lenders may otherwise have at law or in equity or under any other contract or document, and the exercise of one or more rights or remedies shall
not prejudice or impair the concurrent or subsequent exercise of other rights or remedies. 
  
 12. No provision herein or in any promissory note, instrument or any other Loan Document executed by any Borrower or Guarantor evidencing the Indebtedness shall require the payment or permit the collection of interest
in excess of the Highest Lawful Rate. If any excess of interest in such respect is provided for herein or in any such promissory note, instrument, or any other Loan Document, the provisions of this paragraph shall govern, and none of the Borrowers
nor Guarantor shall be obligated to pay the amount of such interest to the extent that it is in excess of the amount permitted by law. The intention of the parties being to conform strictly to any applicable federal or state usury laws now in force,
all promissory notes, instruments and other Loan Documents executed by any Borrower or Guarantor evidencing the Indebtedness shall be held subject to reduction to the amount allowed under said usury laws as now or hereafter construed by the courts
having jurisdiction. 
  
 13. If Guarantor should breach or fail to
perform any provision of this Guaranty, Guarantor agrees to pay Beneficiaries all costs and expenses (including court costs and reasonable attorneys fees) incurred by Beneficiaries in the enforcement hereof. 
  
 14. (a) The liability of Guarantor under this Guaranty shall in no
manner be impaired, affected or released by the insolvency, bankruptcy, making of an assignment for the benefit of creditors, arrangement, compensation, composition or readjustment of any Borrower, or any proceedings affecting the status, existence
or assets of any Borrower or other similar proceedings instituted by or against any Borrower and affecting the assets of any Borrower. 
  

 Exhibit I-4 
 CHAPARRAL ENERGY, L.L.C. 
 CREDIT AGREEMENT

 (b) Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that any interest on any portion of the Indebtedness which accrues
after the commencement of any proceeding referred to in clause (a) above (or, if interest on any portion of the Indebtedness ceases to accrue by operation of law by reason of the commencement of said proceeding, such interest as would have
accrued on such portion of the Indebtedness if said proceedings had not been commenced) shall be included in the Indebtedness because it is the intention of Guarantor, Administrative Agent and Lenders that the Indebtedness which is guaranteed by
Guarantor pursuant to this Guaranty should be determined without regard to any rule of law or order which may relieve any Borrower of any portion of such Indebtedness. Guarantor will permit any trustee in bankruptcy, receiver, debtor in possession,
assignee for the benefit of creditors or similar person to pay Beneficiaries or Administrative Agent, or allow the claim of Beneficiaries or Administrative Agent in respect of, any such interest accruing after the date on which such proceeding is
commenced. 
  
 (c) In the event that all or any portion of the
Indebtedness is paid by any Borrower, the obligations of Guarantor hereunder shall continue and remain in full force and effect or be reinstated, as the case may be, in the event that all or any part of such payment(s) are rescinded or recovered
directly or indirectly from Administrative Agent or any Beneficiary as a preference, fraudulent transfer or otherwise, and any such payments which are so rescinded or recovered shall constitute Indebtedness for all purposes under this Guaranty.

  
 15. Guarantor understands and agrees that any amounts of
Guarantor on account with any Lender may, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, be offset to satisfy the obligations of Guarantor hereunder. 
  
 16. Guarantor hereby subordinates and makes inferior any and all indebtedness now or at any time hereafter owed by any
Borrower to Guarantor to the Indebtedness evidenced by the Credit Agreement and agrees if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, not to permit any Borrower to repay, or to accept payment from any Borrower of, such indebtedness or
any part thereof without the prior written consent of Lenders. 
  
 17. During the period that Lenders have any commitment to lend under the Loan Documents, or any amount payable under any Note remains unpaid, and throughout any additional preferential period subsequent thereto, Guarantor hereby waives any
and all rights of subrogation to which Guarantor may otherwise be entitled against any Borrower, or any other guarantor of the Indebtedness, as a result of any payment made by Guarantor pursuant to this Guaranty. 
  
 18. As of the date hereof, the fair saleable value of the property of
Guarantor is greater than the total amount of liabilities (including contingent and unliquidated liabilities) of Guarantor, and Guarantor is able to pay all of its liabilities as such liabilities mature and Guarantor does not have unreasonably small
capital within the meaning of Section 548, Title 11, United States Code, as amended. In computing the amount of contingent or liquidated liabilities, such liabilities have been computed at the amount which, in light of all the facts and
circumstances existing as of the date hereof, represents the amount that can reasonably be expected to become an actual or matured liability. 
  

 Exhibit I-5 
 CHAPARRAL ENERGY, L.L.C. 
 CREDIT AGREEMENT

 19. If any provision of this Guaranty is held to be illegal, invalid, or unenforceable, such provision
shall be fully severable, this Guaranty shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal, invalid, or unenforceable provision had never comprised a part hereof, and the remaining provisions hereof shall remain in full force and effect and shall
not be affected by the illegal, invalid, or unenforceable provision or by its severance herefrom. Furthermore, in lieu of such illegal, invalid, or unenforceable provision there shall be added automatically as a part of this Guaranty a provision as
similar in terms to such illegal, invalid, or unenforceable provision as may be possible and be legal, valid and enforceable.
