Company’s 8.750% Senior Notes due 2020 (the “Notes”). Banc of America Securities LLC, Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., J.P. Morgan Securities Inc., Mitsubishi UFJ Securities (USA), Inc. and RBC Capital Markets Corporation have agreed to
act as the representatives of the Initial Purchasers (the “Representatives”) in connection with the offering and sale of the Notes. 
 The Notes will be issued pursuant to an indenture, dated as of December 16, 2009 (the “Indenture”), among the Company, the Guarantors (as defined below) and Wells Fargo Bank, National
Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”). Notes will be issued only in book-entry form in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of The Depository Trust Company (the “Depositary”) pursuant to a letter of representations, to
be dated on or before the Closing Date (as defined in Section 2 hereof) (the “DTC Agreement”), among the Company, the Guarantors, the Trustee and the Depositary. 
 The holders of the Notes will be entitled to the benefits of a registration rights agreement, dated as of the Closing Date (as defined
below) (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), among the Company, the Guarantors and the Initial Purchasers, pursuant to which the Company and the Guarantors will agree to file with the Commission (as defined below), under the circumstances
set forth therein, (i) a registration statement under the Securities Act (as defined below) relating to another series of debt securities of the Company with terms substantially identical to the Notes (the “Exchange Notes”) to be
offered in exchange for the Notes (the “Exchange Offer”) and (ii) to the extent required by the Registration Rights Agreement, a shelf registration statement pursuant to Rule 415 of the Securities Act relating to the resale by certain
holders of the Notes, and in each case, to use its commercially reasonable best efforts to cause such registration statements to be declared effective. 

 The payment of principal of, premium and Liquidated Damages (as defined in the Indenture),
if any, and interest on the Notes and the Exchange Notes will be fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis, jointly and severally by (i) SandRidge Onshore, LLC, Lariat Services, Inc., SandRidge Operating Company, Integra
Energy, L.L.C., SandRidge Exploration and Production, LLC, SandRidge Tertiary, LLC, SandRidge Midstream, Inc., SandRidge Offshore, LLC and SandRidge Holdings, Inc. and (ii) any subsidiary of the Company formed or acquired after the Closing Date
that executes an additional guarantee in accordance with the terms of the Indenture, and their respective successors and assigns (collectively, the “Guarantors”), pursuant to their guarantees (the “Guarantees”). The Notes and the
Guarantees related thereto are herein collectively referred to as the “Securities”; and the Exchange Notes and the Guarantees related thereto are herein collectively referred to as the “Exchange Securities.” 
 The Company understands that the Initial Purchasers propose to make an offering of the Securities on the terms and in the manner set forth
herein and in the Pricing Disclosure Package (as defined below) and agrees that the Initial Purchasers may resell, subject to the conditions set forth herein, all or a portion of the Securities to purchasers (the “Subsequent Purchasers”)
on the terms set forth in the Pricing Disclosure Package (the first time when sales of the Securities are made by the Initial Purchasers is referred to as the “Time of Sale”). The Securities are to be offered and sold to or through the
Initial Purchasers without being registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) under the Securities Act of 1933 (as amended, the “Securities Act,” which term, as used herein, includes the rules and
regulations of the Commission promulgated thereunder), in reliance upon exemptions therefrom. Pursuant to the terms of the Securities and the Indenture, investors who acquire Securities shall be deemed to have agreed that Securities may only be
resold or otherwise transferred, after the date hereof, if such Securities are registered for sale under the Securities Act or if an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act is available (including the exemptions afforded
by Rule 144A under the Securities Act (“Rule 144A”) or Regulation S under the Securities Act (“Regulation S”)). 
 The Company has prepared and delivered to each Initial Purchaser copies of a Preliminary Offering Memorandum, dated December 8, 2009, including documents incorporated by reference therein (the “Preliminary Offering
Memorandum”), and has prepared and delivered to each Initial Purchaser copies of a Pricing Supplement, dated December 9, 2009, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Pricing Supplement”), describing the terms of
the Securities, each for use by such Initial Purchaser in connection with its solicitation of offers to purchase the Securities. The Preliminary Offering Memorandum and the Pricing Supplement are herein referred to as the “Pricing Disclosure
Package.” Promptly after this Agreement is executed and delivered, the Company will prepare and deliver to each Initial Purchaser a final offering memorandum dated the date hereof including documents incorporated by reference therein (the
“Final Offering Memorandum”).

promulgated thereunder) prior to the Time of Sale and incorporated by reference in the Pricing Disclosure Package (including the Preliminary Offering Memorandum) or the Final Offering Memorandum (as the case may be), and all references herein to the

offer to buy or offered to sell, or will, directly or indirectly, solicit any offer to buy or offer to sell, in the United States or to any United States citizen or resident, any security which is or would be integrated with the sale of the
Securities in a manner that would require the Securities to be registered under the Securities Act. None of the Company, its Affiliates, or any person acting on its or any of their behalf (other than the Initial Purchasers, as to whom the Company

in good standing in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is required, whether by reason of the ownership or leasing of property or the conduct of business, except for such jurisdictions where the failure to so qualify or to be in good

the Final Offering Memorandum, as then amended or supplemented, in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances when the Final Offering Memorandum is delivered to a Subsequent Purchaser, not misleading, or if in the
judgment of the Initial Purchasers or counsel for the Initial Purchasers it is otherwise necessary to amend or supplement the Pricing Disclosure Package or the Final Offering Memorandum to comply with law, the Company agrees to promptly prepare
(subject to Section 3 hereof) and furnish at its

  

 15

Memorandum, as amended or supplemented, will comply with all applicable law.

provinces of Canada or any other jurisdictions designated by the Initial Purchasers, shall comply with such laws and shall continue such qualifications, registrations and exemptions in effect so long as required for the distribution of the
Securities. None of the Company or any of the Guarantors shall be required to qualify as a foreign corporation or to take any action that would subject it to general service of process in any such jurisdiction where it is not presently qualified or
where it would be subject to taxation as a foreign corporation. The Company will advise the Initial Purchasers promptly of the suspension of the qualification or registration of (or any such exemption relating to) the Securities for offering, sale
or trading in any jurisdiction or any initiation or threat of any proceeding for any such purpose, and in the event of the issuance of any order suspending such qualification, registration or exemption, each of the Company and the Guarantors shall

regulations under Section 13 or 15 of the Exchange Act. 
 (j) No Integration. The Company agrees that it will not
and will cause its Affiliates not to make any offer or sale of securities of the Company of any class if, as a result of the doctrine of “integration” referred to in Rule 502 under the Securities Act, such offer or sale would render
invalid (for the purpose of (i) the sale of the Securities by the Company to the Initial Purchasers, (ii) the resale of the Securities by the Initial Purchasers to Subsequent Purchasers or (iii) the resale of the Securities by such
Subsequent Purchasers to others) the exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act provided by Section 4(2) thereof or by Rule 144A or by Regulation S thereunder or otherwise. 
 (k) No Restricted Resales. During the period of one year after the Closing Date, the Company will not, and will not permit any of its

such director or controlling person may become subject, under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, or other federal or state statutory law or regulation, or at common law or otherwise (including in settlement of any litigation, if such settlement
is effected with the written consent of such Initial Purchaser), insofar as such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense (or actions in respect thereof as contemplated below) arises out of or is based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue
statement of a material fact contained in the Pricing Disclosure Package, any Company Additional Written Information or the Final Offering Memorandum (or any amendment or supplement thereto), or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a
material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement
or omission or alleged omission was made in the Pricing Disclosure Package, any Company Additional Written Information or the Final Offering Memorandum (or any amendment or supplement thereto), in reliance upon and in conformity with written
information furnished to the Company by such Initial Purchaser expressly for use therein; and to reimburse the Company, any Guarantor and each such director or controlling person for any and all expenses (including the fees and disbursements of
counsel) as such expenses are reasonably incurred by the Company, any Guarantor or such director or controlling person in connection with investigating, defending, settling, compromising or paying any such loss, claim, damage, liability, expense or
action. Each of the Company and the Guarantors hereby acknowledges that the only information that the Initial Purchasers have furnished to the Company expressly for use in the Pricing Disclosure Package, any Company Additional Written Information or
the Final Offering Memorandum (or any amendment or supplement thereto) are the statements set forth in the second and third sentences of the 6th paragraph and the entire 11th paragraph under the caption “Plan of Distribution” in the
Preliminary Offering Memorandum and the Final Offering Memorandum. The indemnity agreement set forth in this Section 8(b) shall be in addition to any liabilities that each Initial Purchaser may otherwise have. 
  

 22 

 (c) Notifications and Other Indemnification Procedures. Promptly after receipt by an
indemnified party under this Section 8 of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against an indemnifying party under this Section 8, notify the indemnifying party
in writing of the commencement thereof, but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party will not relieve it from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party for contribution or otherwise than under the indemnity agreement contained
in this Section 8 or to the extent it is not materially prejudiced as a proximate result of such failure. In case any such action is brought against any indemnified party and such indemnified party seeks or intends to seek indemnity from an
indemnifying party, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate in and, to the extent that it shall elect, jointly with all other indemnifying parties similarly notified, by written notice delivered to the indemnified party promptly after
receiving the aforesaid notice from such indemnified party, to assume the defense thereof; provided, however, if the defendants in any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have
reasonably concluded that a conflict may arise between the positions of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party in conducting the defense of any such action the indemnified party or parties shall have the right to select separate counsel to
assume such legal defenses and to otherwise participate in the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified party or parties. Upon receipt of notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of such indemnifying party’s
election so to assume the defense of such action and approval by the indemnified party of counsel, the indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party under this Section 8 for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by
such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof unless the indemnified party shall have employed separate counsel in accordance with the proviso to the next preceding sentence (it being understood, however, that the indemnifying party
shall not be liable for the expenses of more than one separate counsel (together with local counsel), approved by the indemnifying party (Banc of America Securities LLC in the case of Sections 8(b) and 9 hereof), representing the indemnified
parties who are parties to such action). 
 (d) Settlements. The indemnifying party under this Section 8 shall not
be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the indemnifying party agrees to indemnify the indemnified party against any
loss, claim, damage, liability or expense by reason of such settlement or judgment. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement, compromise or consent to the entry of judgment in any
pending or threatened action, suit or proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity was or could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party, unless such settlement, compromise or consent
(i) includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such action, suit or proceeding and (ii) does not include any statements as to or any findings of fault,
culpability or failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party. 
  

 23 

 SECTION 9. Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in Section 8 hereof
is for any reason held to be unavailable to or otherwise insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the
aggregate amount paid or payable by such indemnified party, as incurred, as a result of any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses referred to therein (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received
by the Company and the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Initial Purchasers, on the other hand, from the offering of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by
applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Company and the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Initial Purchasers, on the
other hand, in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company and the
Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Initial Purchasers, on the other hand, in connection with the offering of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the total net proceeds from the
offering of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement (before deducting expenses) received by the Company, and the total discount received by the Initial Purchasers bear to the aggregate initial offering price of the Securities. The relative fault
of the Company and the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Initial Purchasers, on the other hand, shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any such untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged
omission to state a material fact or any such inaccurate or alleged inaccurate representation or warranty relates to information supplied by the Company and the Guarantors, on the one hand, or the Initial Purchasers, on the other hand, and the
parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission or inaccuracy. 
 The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in
Section 8 hereof, any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with investigating or defending any action or claim. The provisions set forth in Section 8 hereof with respect to notice of commencement
of any action shall apply if a claim for contribution is to be made under this Section 9; provided, however, that no additional notice shall be required with respect to any action for which notice has been given under Section 8 hereof for
purposes of indemnification. 
 The Company, the Guarantors and the Initial Purchasers agree that it would not be just and
equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 9 were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Initial Purchasers were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the
equitable considerations referred to in this Section 9. 
 Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 9, no
Initial Purchaser shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the discount received by such Initial Purchaser in connection with the Securities distributed by it. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of
Section 11 of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Initial Purchasers’ obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 9 are several,

  

 24 

 
and not joint, in proportion to their respective commitments as set forth opposite their names in Schedule A. For purposes of this Section 9, each director, officer and employee of an
Initial Purchaser and each person, if any, who controls an Initial Purchaser within the meaning of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act shall have the same rights to contribution as such Initial Purchaser, and each director of the Company or any
Guarantor, and each person, if any, who controls the Company or any Guarantor with the meaning of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company and the Guarantors. 
 SECTION 10. Termination of this Agreement. Prior to the Closing Date, this Agreement may be terminated by the Representatives by
notice given to the Company if at any time (i) trading in securities generally on either the New York Stock Exchange shall have been suspended or materially limited, or minimum or maximum prices shall have been generally established on any of
such stock exchanges by the Commission or the FINRA; (ii) a general banking moratorium shall have been declared by any federal or New York authority or a material disruption in commercial banking or securities settlement or clearance services
in the United States has occurred; or (iii) there shall have occurred any outbreak or escalation of national or international hostilities or any crisis or calamity, or any change in the United States or international financial markets, or any
substantial change or development involving a prospective substantial change in United States’ or international political, financial or economic conditions, as in the judgment of the Representatives is material and adverse and makes it
impracticable or inadvisable to market the Notes in the manner and on the terms described in the Offering Memorandum or to enforce contracts for the sale of securities. 
 SECTION 11. Representations and Indemnities to Survive Delivery. The respective indemnities, agreements, representations, warranties and other statements of the Company, the Guarantors, their
respective officers and the several Initial Purchasers set forth in or made pursuant to this Agreement will remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any Initial Purchaser, the Company, any Guarantor or
any of their partners, officers or directors or any controlling person, as the case may be, and will survive delivery of and payment for the Securities sold hereunder and any termination of this Agreement. 
 SECTION 12. Notices. All communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be mailed, hand delivered, couriered or facsimiled

 Any party hereto may change the address or facsimile number for receipt of

 SECTION 13. Successors. This Agreement will inure to the
benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto, including any substitute Initial Purchasers pursuant to Section 16 hereof, and to the benefit of the indemnified parties referred to in Sections 8 and 9 hereof, and in each case their
respective successors, and no other person will have any right or obligation hereunder. The term “successors” shall not include any Subsequent Purchaser of other purchaser of the Securities as such from any of the Initial Purchasers merely
by reason of such purchase. 
 SECTION 14. Partial Unenforceability. The invalidity or unenforceability of any section,
paragraph or provision of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other section, paragraph or provision hereof. If any section, paragraph or provision of this Agreement is for any reason determined to be invalid or
unenforceable, there shall be deemed to be made such minor changes (and only such minor changes) as are necessary to make it valid and enforceable. 
 SECTION 15. Governing Law Provisions. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO AGREEMENTS MADE AND TO BE
PERFORMED IN SUCH STATE WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICTS OF LAW PRINCIPLES THEREOF. 
 SECTION 16. Default of One or More of the
Several Initial Purchasers. If any one or more of the several Initial Purchasers shall fail or refuse to purchase Securities that it or they have agreed to purchase hereunder on the Closing Date, and the aggregate number of Securities which such
defaulting Initial Purchaser or Initial Purchasers agreed but failed or refused to purchase does not exceed

  

 26 

 
10% of the aggregate number of the Securities to be purchased on such date, the other Initial Purchasers shall be obligated, severally, in the proportions that the number of Securities set forth
opposite their respective names on Schedule A bears to the aggregate number of Securities set forth opposite the names of all such non-defaulting Initial Purchasers, or in such other proportions as may be specified by the Initial Purchasers
with the consent of the non-defaulting Initial Purchasers, to purchase the Securities which such defaulting Initial Purchaser or Initial Purchasers agreed but failed or refused to purchase on the Closing Date. If any one or more of the Initial
Purchasers shall fail or refuse to purchase Securities and the aggregate number of Securities with respect to which such default occurs exceeds 10% of the aggregate number of Securities to be purchased on the Closing Date, and arrangements
satisfactory to the Initial Purchasers and the Company for the purchase of such Securities are not made within 48 hours after such default, this Agreement shall terminate without liability of any party to any other party except that the provisions
of Sections 4, 6, 8 and 9 hereof shall at all times be effective and shall survive such termination. In any such case either the Initial Purchasers or the Company shall have the right to postpone the Closing Date, as the case may be, but in no
event for longer than seven days in order that the required changes, if any, to the Final Offering Memorandum or any other documents or arrangements may be effected. 
 As used in this Agreement, the term “Initial Purchaser” shall be deemed to include any person substituted for a defaulting Initial Purchaser under this Section 16. Any action taken under
this Section 16 shall not relieve any defaulting Initial Purchaser from liability in respect of any default of such Initial Purchaser under this Agreement. 
 SECTION 17. No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility. Each of the Company and the Guarantors acknowledges and agrees that: (i) the purchase and sale of the Securities pursuant to this
Agreement, including the determination of the offering price of the Securities and any related discounts and commissions, is an arm’s-length commercial transaction between the Company and the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the several Initial
Purchasers, on the other hand, and the Company and the Guarantors are capable of evaluating and understanding and understand and accept the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; (ii) in connection with
each transaction contemplated hereby and the process leading to such transaction each Initial Purchaser is and has been acting solely as a principal and is not the agent or fiduciary of the Company, Guarantors or their respective affiliates,
stockholders, creditors or employees or any other party; (iii) no Initial Purchaser has assumed or will assume an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of the Company or Guarantors with respect to any of the transactions contemplated
hereby or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether such Initial Purchaser has advised or is currently advising the Company Guarantors on other matters) or any other obligation to the Company and the Guarantors except the obligations
expressly set forth in this Agreement; (iv) the several Initial Purchasers and their respective affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the Company and the Guarantors and that
the several Initial Purchasers have no obligation to disclose any of such interests by virtue of any fiduciary or advisory relationship; and (v) the Initial Purchasers have not provided any legal, accounting, regulatory or tax advice with
respect to the offering contemplated hereby and the Company and the Guarantors have consulted their own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent they deemed appropriate. 
  

 27 

 This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements and understandings (whether written or oral)
between the Company, the Guarantors and the several Initial Purchasers, or any of them, with respect to the subject matter hereof. The Company and the Guarantors hereby waive and release, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any claims that the
Company and the Guarantors may have against the several Initial Purchasers with respect to any breach or alleged breach of fiduciary duty. 
 SECTION 18. General Provisions. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement of the parties to this Agreement and supersedes all prior written or oral and all contemporaneous oral agreements,
understandings and negotiations with respect to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each one of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the
same instrument. This Agreement may not be amended or modified unless in writing by all of the parties hereto, and no condition herein (express or implied) may be waived unless waived in writing by each party whom the condition is meant to benefit.
The section headings herein are for the convenience of the parties only and shall not affect the construction or interpretation of this Agreement. 
  

 28 

 If the foregoing is in accordance with your understanding of our agreement, kindly sign and
return to the Company the enclosed copies hereof, whereupon this instrument, along with all counterparts hereof, shall become a binding agreement in accordance with its terms.

 EXHIBIT A-1 
 FORM OF OPINION OF ISSUER’S COUNSEL 
 Opinion of Covington & Burling LLP, counsel for the Company, to be delivered pursuant to Section 5(c)(i) of the Purchase Agreement. 
 (i) The Company is a corporation duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of
Delaware. 
 (ii) The Company and each Delaware Guarantor has duly authorized, executed and delivered the Purchase Agreement.

 (iii) The Company and each Delaware Guarantor has duly authorized, executed and delivered each of the
Indenture and the Registration Rights Agreement, and each of the Indenture and the Registration Rights Agreement constitutes the valid and binding obligation of the Company and each Guarantor, enforceable against the Company and each Guarantor in
accordance with its terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and other laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors’ rights and to general equity principles. 
 (iv) The Company has duly authorized, executed and delivered the Notes, and, assuming the Trustee has duly authenticated the Notes, each of
the Notes constitutes the valid and binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and other laws of general
applicability relating to or affecting creditors’ rights and to general equity principles. 
 (v) Each Delaware Guarantor
has duly authorized, executed and delivered the Guarantees. Assuming the Trustee has duly authenticated the Notes, each of the Guarantees constitutes the valid and binding obligation of each Guarantor, enforceable against such Guarantor in
accordance with its terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and other laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors’ rights and to general equity principles. In giving this
opinion, such counsel need not express any opinion as to the existence or adequacy of consideration received by the Guarantors for the Guarantees. 
 (vi) The Notes, the Guarantees and the Indenture conform in all material respects as to legal matters to the descriptions thereof contained in the Final Offering Memorandum. 
 (vii) The statements in the Final Offering Memorandum under the caption “Certain United States Federal Income Tax Considerations,”
insofar as such statements constitute summaries of the laws, regulations, legal matters, agreements or other legal documents referred to therein, are accurate in all material respects and fairly summarize the matters referred to therein. 

 

 Exhibit A-1-1 

 (viii) The execution and delivery of the Purchase Agreement, the Registration Rights
Agreement, the Notes, the Guarantees and the Indenture by the Company and each Guarantor, and the consummation by the Company and each Guarantor of the transactions contemplated thereby in accordance with the terms thereof do not (i) breach the
provisions of the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation or Amended and Restated Bylaws or the certificate of incorporation, bylaws, or other constitutive document of any of the Guarantors; (ii) breach the provisions
of, or cause a default or a Debt Repayment Triggering Event under, the Credit Agreement, dated November 21, 2006, by and among the Company (as successor by merger to Riata Energy, Inc.) and Bank of America, N.A., as Administrative Agent and
Banc of America Securities LLC as Lead Arranger and Book Running Manager, as amended; (iii) breach the provisions of, or cause a default under, (a) the Indenture, dated May 1, 2008, by and among the Company, certain subsidiary
guarantors named therein and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee, (b) the Indenture, dated May 20, 2008, by and among the Company, certain subsidiary guarantors named therein and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as

of Delaware or any New York or Federal statute, law, rule or regulation known to such counsel to which the Company or any Guarantor is subject; provided however, such counsel need not express any opinion in this paragraph (viii) with respect to
state securities or blue sky laws, rules or regulations or any state or Federal anti-fraud statute, rule or regulation. 
 (ix)
The Company is not and, after giving effect to the offering and sale of the Notes and the application of the proceeds thereof as described in the Final Offering Memorandum, will not be an “investment company” as defined in the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended. 
 (x) Based upon and assuming the accuracy of the representations and warranties in the
Purchase Agreement, the compliance with the conditions and covenants in the Purchase Agreement, and the compliance with the procedures set forth in the Final Offering Memorandum, it is not necessary in connection with (a) the issuance and sale
to the Initial Purchasers of the Notes pursuant to the Purchase Agreement or (b) the initial resale of the Notes by the Initial Purchasers in the manner contemplated by the Purchase Agreement and the Final Offering Memorandum pursuant to Rule
144A under the Securities Act, to register the Notes under the Securities Act or to qualify an indenture under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939. 
 The foregoing opinions are subject to customary assumptions and qualifications. 
 In addition, such counsel shall state that, as counsel to the Company, they reviewed the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Final Offering Memorandum and participated in discussions with representatives of the Initial Purchasers and those
of the Company, counsel to the Initial Purchasers and the Company’s accountants. On the basis of the information which was reviewed by them in the course of the performance of the services referred to above, considered in the light of such
counsel’s understanding of the applicable law and the experience such counsel has gained through their practice under the Federal securities laws, such counsel shall confirm that nothing which came to their attention in the course of such
review has caused such counsel to believe that: (a) the Pricing

  

 Exhibit A-1-2 

 
Disclosure Package, as of the Time of Sale (as specified in the Purchase Agreement), contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state any material fact necessary to make the
statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; or (b) the Final Offering Memorandum, as of its date or as of the date hereof, contained or contains any untrue statement of a material fact or
omitted or omits to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, 
 except that in each case such counsel need not assume any responsibility for the accuracy, completeness or fairness of the statements contained in the Pricing Disclosure Package or the Final Offering
Memorandum, except as specified in Paragraphs (vi) and (vii) above. Also, such counsel need not express any opinion or belief as to the financial statements, including the notes thereto, and the financial statement schedules and other
financial data and the oil and gas reserve and production data included in the Pricing Disclosure Package or the Final Offering Memorandum. 
  

 Exhibit A-1-3 

 EXHIBIT A-2 
 FORM OF OPINION OF COMPANY’S COUNSEL 
 Opinion of Richard J. Gognat, Senior Vice President—Legal and General Counsel for the Company to be delivered pursuant to Section 5(c)(ii) of the Purchase Agreement. 
 (i) The Company has corporate power and authority to own, lease and operate its properties and to conduct its business as described in the
Pricing Disclosure Package and the Final Offering Memorandum and to enter into and perform its obligations under the Purchase Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement, the Indenture and the Securities. 
 (ii) The Company is duly qualified as a foreign corporation to transact business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which such
qualification is required, whether by reason of the ownership or leasing of property or the conduct of business, except for such jurisdictions where the failure to so qualify or to be in good standing would not, singly or in the aggregate, have a
Material Adverse Effect. 
 (iii) Each Guarantor has been duly incorporated and is validly existing as a corporation in good
standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation, has corporate power and authority to own, lease and operate its properties and to conduct its business as described in the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Final Offering Memorandum
and, to the best knowledge of such counsel, is duly qualified as a foreign corporation to transact business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is required, whether by reason of the ownership or leasing of
property or the conduct of business, except for such jurisdictions where the failure to so qualify or to be in good standing would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect. 
 (iv) The Company and each subsidiary possess such valid and current certificates, authorizations or permits issued by the appropriate state,
federal or foreign regulatory agencies or bodies necessary to conduct their respective businesses, and, to such counsel’s knowledge, neither the Company nor any subsidiary has received any notice of proceedings relating to the revocation or
modification of, or non-compliance with, any such certificate, authorization or permit which, singly or in the aggregate, if the subject of an unfavorable decision, ruling or finding, could have a Material Adverse Effect. 
 (v) After due inquiry, such counsel does not know of any legal or governmental actions, suits or proceedings pending or, to the best of such
