 PURCHASE AGREEMENT 

November 10, 2020 
 BofA Securities, Inc. 

As Representative of the Initial Purchasers 
 One Bryant Park

 New York, New York 10036 
 Ladies and Gentlemen: 

Introductory. Continental Resources, Inc., an Oklahoma corporation (the “Company”), proposes to issue and sell to the several
Initial Purchasers named in Schedule A (the “Initial Purchasers”), acting severally and not jointly, the respective amounts set forth in such Schedule A of $1,500,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 5.75% Senior
Notes due 2031 (the “Notes”). BofA Securities, Inc. has agreed to act as the representative of the several Initial Purchasers (the “Representative”) in connection with the offering and sale of the Notes. 

The Notes will be issued pursuant to an indenture (the “Indenture”), to be dated as of the Closing Date (as defined in
Section 2 hereof), among the Company, the Initial Guarantors (as defined below) and Wilmington Trust, 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 (the “DTC Agreement”), from the Company to the Depositary. 

The payment of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes when and as the same becomes due and payable, will be fully and
unconditionally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis, jointly and severally, by (i) Banner Pipeline Company, L.L.C., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Banner”), (ii) CLR Asset Holdings, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of the
Company (“CLR Asset Holdings”), (iii) The Mineral Resources Company, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“Mineral Resources” and together with Banner and CLR Asset Holdings, the “Initial Guarantors” and each an
“Initial Guarantor”) and (iii) any subsidiary of the Company formed or acquired after the Closing Date that executes a supplement to the Indenture guaranteeing the Notes in accordance with the terms of the Indenture, and their
respective successors and assigns (together with the Initial Guarantors, the “Guarantors”), pursuant to their guarantees (the “Guarantees”). The Notes and the Guarantees related thereto are herein collectively referred to as the
“Securities.” 
 Each of the Company and each Initial Guarantor 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 

  
 1 

 
time when sales of the Securities are made 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, 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 November 10, 2020
(the “Preliminary Offering Memorandum”), and has prepared and delivered to each Initial Purchaser copies of a Pricing Supplement, dated November 10, 2020 in the form attached hereto as Annex II (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 (the “Final Offering
Memorandum”). 
 All references herein to the terms “Pricing Disclosure Package” and “Final Offering Memorandum”
shall be deemed to mean and include all information filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (as amended, the “Exchange Act,” which term, as used herein, includes the rules and regulations of the Commission 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 terms
“amend,” “amendment” or “supplement” with respect to the Final Offering Memorandum shall be deemed to mean and include all information filed under the Exchange Act after the Time of Sale and incorporated by reference in
the Final Offering Memorandum. 
 The Company and each Initial Guarantor hereby confirm their agreements with the Initial Purchasers as
follows: 
 SECTION 1.    Representations and Warranties. Each of the Company and each Initial Guarantor,
jointly and severally, hereby represents, warrants and covenants to each Initial Purchaser that, as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date (references in this Section 1 to the “Offering Memorandum” are to (x) the Pricing

(b)    No Integration of Offerings or General Solicitation. None of the Company, its affiliates (as such
term is defined in Rule 501 under the Securities Act) (each, an “Affiliate”), or any person acting on its or any of their behalf (other than the Initial Purchasers and their Affiliates as to whom the Company makes no representation or
warranty) has, directly or indirectly, solicited any 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 and their Affiliates, as to whom the Company makes no representation or warranty) has engaged or will engage, in connection with the offering of the Securities, in any form of general solicitation or general advertising within the
meaning of Rule 502 under the Securities Act. With respect to those Securities sold in reliance upon Regulation S, (i) none of the Company, its Affiliates or any person acting on its or their behalf (other than the Initial Purchasers and their

to statements in or omissions from the Pricing Disclosure Package, the Final Offering Memorandum or any amendment or supplement thereto made in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to the Company in writing by any Initial
Purchaser through the Representative expressly for use in the Pricing Disclosure Package, the Final Offering Memorandum or amendment or supplement thereto, as the case may be. The Pricing Disclosure Package contains, and the Final Offering
Memorandum will contain, all the information specified in, and meeting the requirements of, Rule 144A. The Company has not distributed and will not distribute, prior to the later of the Closing Date and the completion of the Initial Purchasers’
distribution of the Securities, any offering material in connection with the offering and sale of the Securities other than the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Final Offering Memorandum.

which they were made, not misleading; provided that this representation, warranty and agreement shall not apply to statements in or omissions from each such Company Additional Written Communication made in reliance upon and in conformity with

without limitation, agreements listed on Schedule B hereto), or to which any of the property or assets of the Company or a subsidiary of the Company is subject (each, an “Existing Instrument”), except for such Defaults as would not,
individually or in the aggregate, result in a Material Adverse Effect. The Company’s and Initial Guarantors’ execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement, the DTC Agreement and the Indenture, and the issuance and delivery of the
Securities, and consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby and by the Offering Memorandum (i) will not result in any violation of the provisions of the charter or bylaws or similar organizational documents of the Company
or the Initial Guarantors, (ii) will not conflict with or constitute a breach of, or Default under, or result in the creation or imposition of any lien, 

  
 6

administrative regulation or administrative or court decree applicable to the Company or the Initial Guarantors, except, in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) above, for such conflicts, breaches, Defaults, liens, charges, encumbrances or
violations as would not, individually or in the aggregate, result in a Material Adverse Effect. Assuming the accuracy of the representations, warranties and covenants of the Initial Purchasers set forth herein, no consent, approval, authorization or
other order of, or registration or filing with, any court or other governmental or regulatory authority or agency, is required for consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the Offering Memorandum, except such as may be required by
the Securities Act or the securities laws of the several states of the United States with respect to the Company’s or which, if not obtained or made, would not, individually or in the aggregate have a Material Adverse Effect or materially and

or the Initial Guarantors to perform its obligations under this Agreement; to the knowledge of the Company, no such investigations, actions, suits or proceedings are threatened or contemplated by any governmental or regulatory authority or others;

conduct of their respective businesses as described in the Offering Memorandum, except where the failure to possess or make the same would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect; and except as described in the Offering
Memorandum, or as would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect, neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries has received notice of any revocation or modification of any such license, certificate, permit or
authorization or has any reason to believe that any such license, certificate, permit or authorization will not be renewed in the ordinary course.

result of which it is necessary to amend or supplement 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 Representative or counsel for the Initial Purchasers it is otherwise necessary to amend or supplement the Final Offering Memorandum to comply with law, the Company agrees to promptly
prepare (subject to Section 3(a) hereof), and furnish at its own expense to the Initial Purchasers, amendments or supplements to the Final Offering Memorandum so that the statements in the Final Offering Memorandum as so amended or supplemented

shall continue such qualifications, registrations and exemptions in effect so long as required for the distribution of the Securities. None of the Company or the Initial 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 Representative 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 each Initial Guarantor shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the withdrawal thereof at the earliest possible moment.

expense, upon request, to holders and beneficial owners of Securities and prospective purchasers of Securities information (“Additional Issuer Information”) satisfying the requirements of Rule 144A(d).

offer, contract or grant any option to sell, pledge, transfer or establish an open “put equivalent position” within the meaning of Rule 16a-1 under the Exchange Act, or otherwise dispose of or

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(a)(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

insofar as such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense (or actions in respect thereof as contemplated below) arises out of or is based: (i) upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Preliminary
Offering Memorandum, the Pricing Supplement, 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 or (ii) any act or failure to act or any alleged act or failure to act by any Initial Purchaser in connection with, or relating in any
manner to, the offering contemplated hereby, and which is included as part of or referred to in any loss, claim, damage, liability or action arising out of or based upon any matter covered by clause (i) above, provided that neither the Company
nor any Initial Guarantor shall be liable under this clause (ii) to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction shall have determined by a final judgment that such loss, claim, damage, liability or action resulted directly from any such
acts or failures to act undertaken or omitted to be taken by such Initial Purchaser through its gross negligence or willful misconduct; and to reimburse each Initial Purchaser and each such director, officer, employee, affiliate or controlling
person for any and all expenses (including the fees and disbursements of counsel chosen by BofA Securities, Inc.) as such expenses are reasonably incurred by such Initial Purchaser or such director, officer, employee, affiliate or controlling person
in connection with investigating, defending, settling, compromising or paying any such loss, claim, damage, liability, expense or action; provided, however, that the foregoing indemnity agreement shall not apply to any loss, claim,
damage, liability or expense to the extent, but only to the extent, arising out of or based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information
furnished to the 

  
 20 

 
Company by the Representative expressly for use in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum, the Pricing Supplement, any Company Additional Written Information or the Final Offering Memorandum (or any
amendment or supplement thereto). The indemnity agreement set forth in this Section 8(a) shall be in addition to any liabilities that the Company may otherwise have. 

(b)    Indemnification of the Company and the Initial Guarantors. Each Initial Purchaser agrees, severally
and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, the Initial Guarantors, each of their respective directors and officers and each person, if any, who controls the Company or the Initial Guarantors within the meaning of the Securities Act
or the Exchange Act, against any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense, as incurred, to which the Company, the Initial Guarantors or any such director, officer 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 or as otherwise permitted by
Section 8(d) hereof), 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 Preliminary Offering Memorandum, the Pricing Supplement, 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 Preliminary Offering Memorandum, the Pricing Supplement, 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 the Representative on behalf of such Initial Purchaser expressly for use therein; and to reimburse the Company, the Initial Guarantors and each such director, officer or controlling person for any
and all expenses (including the fees and disbursements of counsel) as such expenses are reasonably incurred by the Company, the Initial Guarantors or such director, officer 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 each Initial Guarantor hereby acknowledges that the only information that the Initial Purchasers through the Representative have furnished to
the Company expressly for use in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum, the Pricing Supplement, any Company Additional Written Information or the Final Offering Memorandum (or any amendment or supplement thereto) are the statements set forth in the
sixth paragraph (second and third sentences only) and the seventh 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. 

(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 

  
 21 

 
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 with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party; 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 or that there may be legal
defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties which are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party, 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 expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in
connection with the defense thereof unless (i) 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)), representing the indemnified parties who are parties to such action) or (ii) the indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel satisfactory to the
indemnified party to represent the indemnified party within a reasonable time after notice of commencement of the action, in each of which cases the fees and expenses of counsel shall be at the expense of the indemnifying party. 

(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. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time an indemnified party shall have requested an indemnifying party to reimburse the indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel as
contemplated by this Section 8, the indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent if (i) such settlement is entered into more than 30 days after receipt by such
indemnifying party of the aforesaid request and (ii) such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed the indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement. 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. 

  
 22 

 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 Initial 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 Initial
Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Initial Purchasers, on the other hand, in connection with the statements or omissions or inaccuracies in the representations and warranties herein 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 Initial 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 Initial 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 Initial 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 Initial 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 

  
 23 

 
who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Initial Purchasers’ obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 9 are several, 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, affiliate 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 and officer of the Company or the Initial Guarantors, and each person, if any, who controls the Company or the
Initial Guarantors with the meaning of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company and the Initial Guarantors. 

SECTION 10.    Termination of this Agreement. Prior to the Closing Date, this Agreement may be terminated by
the Representative by notice given to the Company if at any time: (i) trading or quotation in any of the Company’s securities shall have been suspended or limited by the Commission or by the NYSE; (ii) trading in securities generally
on either the Nasdaq Stock Market or the NYSE shall have been suspended or limited, or minimum or maximum prices shall have been generally established on any of such quotation system or stock exchange by the Commission or FINRA; (iii) a general
banking moratorium shall have been declared by any federal, New York or Oklahoma authorities; (iv) 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
Representative is material and adverse and makes it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the offering, sale or delivery of the Securities in the manner and on the terms described in the Pricing Disclosure Package or to enforce contracts for
the sale of securities; and (v) the representation in Section 1(d) is incorrect in any respect. Any termination pursuant to this Section 10 shall be without liability on the part of (a) the Company or the Initial Guarantors to
any Initial Purchaser, except that the Company and the Initial Guarantors shall be obligated to reimburse the expenses of the Initial Purchasers pursuant to Sections 4 and 6 hereof, (b) any Initial Purchaser to the Company, or (c) any
party hereto to any other party except that the provisions of Sections 8 and 9 hereof shall at all times be effective and shall survive such termination. 

SECTION 11.    Representations and Indemnities to Survive Delivery. The respective indemnities, agreements,
representations, warranties and other statements of the Company, the Initial 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, the Initial Guarantors or any of their employees, officers, directors, affiliates or any controlling person referred to in Section 8, as the case may be, and will
survive delivery of and payment for the Securities sold hereunder and any termination of this Agreement.

SECTION 13.    Successors. This Agreement will inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties
hereto, 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.    Authority of the Representative. Any action by the Initial Purchasers hereunder may be taken by the
Representative on behalf of the Initial Purchasers, and any such action taken by the Representative shall be binding upon the Initial Purchasers. 

SECTION 15.    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 

  
 25 

 
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 16.    Governing Law Provisions.  

THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY CLAIM, CONTROVERSY OR DISPUTE ARISING UNDER OR RELATED TO 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 17.    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 principal amount of Securities which such defaulting Initial Purchaser or Initial Purchasers
agreed but failed or refused to purchase does not exceed 10% of the aggregate principal amount of the Securities to be purchased on such date, the other Initial Purchasers shall be obligated, severally, in the proportions that the principal amount
of Securities set forth opposite their respective names on Schedule A bears to the aggregate principal amount 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 principal amount of Securities with respect to which such default
occurs exceeds 10% of the aggregate principal amount 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 17. Any action taken under this Section 17 shall not relieve any defaulting Initial Purchaser from liability in respect of any default of such Initial Purchaser
under this Agreement. 
 SECTION 18.    No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility. Each of the Company and each
Initial Guarantor 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 Initial Guarantors, on the one hand, and the several Initial Purchasers, on the other hand, and the Company and the Initial Guarantors are capable
of evaluating and understanding and understand and accept the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions 

  
 26 

 
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, Initial 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 the Initial 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 or the Initial Guarantors on other matters) or any other obligation to the Company and the Initial 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 Initial 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 Initial
Guarantors have consulted their own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent they deemed appropriate. 
 This Agreement
supersedes all prior agreements and understandings (whether written or oral) between the Company, the Initial Guarantors and the several Initial Purchasers, or any of them, with respect to the subject matter hereof. The Company and the Initial
Guarantors hereby waive and release, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any claims that the Company and the Initial Guarantors may have against the several Initial Purchasers with respect to any breach or alleged breach of fiduciary duty. 

SECTION 19.    Patriot Act. In accordance with the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)), the Initial Purchasers are required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies their respective clients, including the Company, which information may
include the name and address of their respective clients, as well as other information that will allow the Initial Purchasers to properly identify their respective clients. 

SECTION 20.    Recognition of the U.S. Special Resolution Regimes. 

(a)    In the event that any Initial Purchaser that is a Covered Entity (as defined below) becomes subject to a proceeding
under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime (as defined below), the transfer from such Initial Purchaser of this Agreement, and any interest and obligation in or under this Agreement, will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be
effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this Agreement, and any such interest and obligation, were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. 

(b)    In the event that any Initial Purchaser that is a Covered Entity or a BHC Act Affiliate (as defined below) of such
Initial Purchaser becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights (as defined below) under this Agreement that may be exercised against such Initial Purchaser are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent
than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this Agreement were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States. 

  
 27 

 As used in this Section 20: 

“BHC Act Affiliate” has the meaning assigned to the term “affiliate” in, and shall be interpreted in accordance
with, 12 U.S.C. § 1841(k). 
 “Covered Entity” means any of the following: 

(i) a “covered entity” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 252.82(b); 

(ii) a “covered bank” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 47.3(b); or 

(iii) a “covered FSI” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 382.2(b). 

“Default Right” has the meaning assigned to that term in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R.
§§ 252.81, 47.2 or 382.1, as applicable. 
 “U.S. Special Resolution Regime” means each of (i) the
Federal Deposit Insurance Act and the regulations promulgated thereunder and (ii) Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and the regulations promulgated thereunder. 

SECTION 21.    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. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by telecopier,
facsimile or other electronic transmission (i.e., a “pdf” or “tif”) shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart thereof. 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 words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in
this Agreement or in any other certificate, agreement or document related to this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents shall include images of manually executed signatures transmitted by facsimile or other electronic format (including,
without limitation, “pdf”, “tif” or “jpg”) and other electronic signatures (including, without limitation, DocuSign and AdobeSign). The use of electronic signatures and electronic records (including, without limitation,
any contract or other record created, generated, sent, communicated, received, or stored by electronic means) shall be of the same legal effect, validity and enforceability as a manually executed signature or use of a paper-based record-keeping
system to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act and any other applicable law, including, without
limitation, any state law based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act or the Uniform Commercial Code. The section headings herein are for the convenience of the parties only and shall not affect the construction or interpretation of this
Agreement.

 EXHIBIT A-1 

Form of Opinion of Crowe & Dunlevy, Oklahoma Counsel to the Company 

[●], 2020 
 BofA Securities, Inc. 

As representative of the Initial Purchasers 
 One Bryant Park 

New York, New York 11036 
  

	 	Re:	 [●]% Senior Notes due 20[●] of Continental Resources, Inc.

 Ladies and Gentlemen: 

We have acted as Oklahoma counsel to Continental Resources, Inc., an Oklahoma corporation (the “Company”), in connection with

Banner Pipeline Company, L.L.C., an Oklahoma limited liability company (“Banner”), CLR Asset Holdings, LLC, an Oklahoma limited liability company (“Asset Holdings”), and The Mineral Resources Company, an Oklahoma
corporation (“Mineral Resources”; Banner, Asset Holdings and Mineral Resources are referred to collectively as the “Initial Guarantors” and each individually an “Initial Guarantor”), and BofA
Securities, Inc., as representative of the Initial Purchasers. The Notes are guaranteed by the Initial Guarantors and have been issued under an Indenture dated as of [●], 2020 (the “Indenture”), among the Company, the Initial
Guarantors and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”). 
 This opinion is being delivered to
you at the request of the Company pursuant to Section 5(d) of the Purchase Agreement. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined have the meanings ascribed to them in the Purchase Agreement. 

For purposes hereof, we have examined originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of: (i) the certificate
of incorporation or articles of organization, as applicable, and the bylaws or limited liability company operating agreement, as applicable, of the Company and each of the Initial Guarantors, each as amended to date (each such entity’s
“Organizational Documents”); (ii) the Purchase Agreement; (iii) the Indenture; (iv) the Notes; (v) the Guarantees; (vi) the DTC Agreement; (vii) certain resolutions of the board of directors of the
Company, of the sole member of Banner and Asset Holdings, and of the board of directors of Mineral Resources relating to, among other matters, the authorization, execution and delivery of the Purchase Agreement, the Indenture and the Guarantees in
the name of the Company and/or the respective Initial Guarantors, as applicable, and the issuance and sale of the Notes pursuant to the Purchase Agreement; and (viii) such other certificates, statutes and other instruments and documents as we
considered appropriate for purposes of the opinions hereafter expressed. As to any facts material to the opinions contained herein, we have made no independent investigation of such facts and have relied, to the extent that we deem such reliance
proper, upon certificates of public officials and of one or more officers of the Company. 

  
 Exhibit A-1-1 

 In such examination, we (a) have assumed that all documents submitted to us as
originals are authentic, that all copies submitted to us conform to the originals thereof, and that the signatures on all documents examined by us are genuine, and (b) with respect to the opinions expressed in paragraphs 1 and 2 below as to the
good standing and due qualification of the Company and the Initial Guarantors in Oklahoma and various other states, have relied upon certificates of good standing issued by the Secretary of State (or equivalent public official) of such states as of
a recent date. We have made such additional investigations or inquiries as we have deemed appropriate or necessary for the purposes of rendering these opinions. 

On the basis of all of the foregoing and in reliance thereon, and upon consideration of applicable laws, subject to the qualifications and
limitations described below, we are of the opinion that: 
 1.    Each of the Company and the Initial Guarantors has
been duly organized and is validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Oklahoma. 
 2.    Each
of the Company and the Initial Guarantors is duly qualified to do business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which its ownership or lease of property or the conduct of its businesses requires such qualification and has all power and
authority necessary to own or hold its properties and to conduct the businesses in which it is engaged, except where the failure to be so qualified or have such power or authority would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse
Effect. To our knowledge, the Company has no subsidiaries other than the Initial Guarantors, Broadway Associates and Flintlock Energy, Inc. 

3.    Each of the Company and the Initial Guarantors has full right, power and authority to execute and deliver the
Purchase Agreement and to perform its obligations thereunder, and all action required to be taken by the Company and the Initial Guarantors for the due and proper authorization, execution and delivery of the Purchase Agreement and the consummation
of the transactions contemplated thereby has been duly and validly taken. 
 4.    Each of the Company and the Initial
Guarantors has full right, power and authority to execute and deliver the Indenture and to perform its obligations thereunder, and the Indenture has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company and the Initial Guarantors. 

6.    The Company has full right, power and authority to execute and deliver the Notes and to perform its obligations
thereunder, and the Notes have been duly authorized by the Company for issuance and sale pursuant to the Purchase Agreement and the Indenture. 

8.    Each of the Initial Guarantors has full right, power and authority to execute and deliver the Guarantees of both the
Notes and to perform its obligations thereunder, and the Guarantees of the Notes have been duly authorized by the Initial Guarantors for issuance and sale pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. The Indenture and the notations of Guarantees affixed to
the Notes have been duly executed by the Initial Guarantors. 
 9.    The execution and delivery of the Purchase
Agreement, the DTC Agreement, the Securities, and the Indenture by the Company and the Initial Guarantors and the performance by each of the Company and the Initial Guarantors of its obligations thereunder: (i) will not result in any violation
of the provisions of the Organizational Documents of the Company or 

  
 Exhibit A-1-2 

 
the Initial Guarantors, or (ii) to our knowledge, will not result in any violation of any law, administrative regulation or administrative or court decree of the State of Oklahoma applicable
to the Company or the Initial Guarantors, except in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii), for such conflict, breach or violation that would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect, and except for the purposes of
clause (iii), any securities law or regulation. 
 10.    To our knowledge, except as described in the Pricing
Disclosure Package and the Final Offering Memorandum, there are no legal, governmental or regulatory investigations, actions, suits or proceedings pending to which the Company, any of the Initial Guarantors or Broadway Associates is or may be a
party or to which any property of the Company, any of the Initial Guarantors or Broadway Associates is or may be the subject which are required by the Exchange Act to be disclosed in an annual report on Form
10-K or a quarterly report on Form 10-Q and which are not so disclosed in the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Final Offering Memorandum, and to our knowledge, no such
investigations, actions, suits or proceedings are threatened by any governmental or regulatory authority or threatened by others.

 EXHIBIT A-2 

Form of Opinion of Vinson & Elkins L.L.P., Special Counsel for the Company 

[●], 2020 
 BOFA SECURITIES,
INC. 
 As Representative of the several Initial Purchasers, 

	c/o	 BofA Securities, Inc. 

One Bryant Park 
 New York, New
York 11036 
 Ladies and Gentlemen: 

We have acted as counsel to Continental Resources, Inc., an Oklahoma corporation (the “Company”), in connection with
the sale of $[●] aggregate principal amount of the Company’s [●]% Senior Notes due 20[●] (the “Notes”). 

This letter is being furnished to you pursuant to Section 5(d)(ii) of the Purchase Agreement, dated [●], 2020 (the
“Purchase Agreement”), among the Company, the Initial Guarantors (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) and BofA Securities, Inc. as representative of the several initial purchasers named in Schedule A thereto (the
“Initial Purchasers”), relating to the issuance and sale to the Initial Purchasers of the Notes. The Notes are to be issued under an Indenture, dated as of [●], 2020 (the “Indenture”), by and
among the Company, the Initial Guarantors and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”). The Notes will be guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by the Initial Guarantors (the
“Guarantees” and together with the Notes, the “Securities”). Capitalized terms used in this letter and not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Purchase Agreement. 

We have examined originals, or copies certified or otherwise identified, of: 

 

	 	(i)	 the Purchase Agreement; 

 

	 	(ii)	 the Indenture; 

  

	 	(iii)	 the Preliminary Offering Memorandum, dated [●], 2020, including the documents incorporated by reference
therein (the “Preliminary Offering Memorandum”), relating to the offering and sale of the Notes; 

  

	 	(iv)	 the Pricing Supplement, dated [●], 2020 (the “Pricing Supplement” and, together
with the Preliminary Offering Memorandum, the “Pricing Disclosure Package”), relating to the offering and sale of the Notes; 

  

	 	(v)	 the Final Offering Memorandum, dated [●], 2020, including the documents incorporated by reference therein
(the “Final Offering Memorandum,” together with the Pricing Disclosure Package, the “Offering Memorandum”), relating to the offering and sale of the Notes; 

  
 Exhibit A-2-1 

	 	(vi)	 the global certificates representing the Notes; 

 

	 	(vii)	 certain other documents delivered to the Initial Purchasers on the Closing Date; 

 

	 	(viii)	 certificates of public officials and of officers and other representatives of the Company and the Initial
Guarantors; and 

  

	 	(ix)	 statutes and other instruments and documents as we have deemed necessary or advisable for purposes of the
opinions hereinafter expressed. 

 In giving the opinions set forth below, we have relied, without independent
investigation or verification, upon the certificates, statements or other representations of officers or other representatives of the Company and the Initial Guarantors with respect to the accuracy and completeness of the material factual matters
contained in such certificates, statements or other representations. In making our examination, we have assumed that all signatures on documents examined by us are genuine, all documents submitted to us as originals are authentic and complete and
all documents submitted to us as certified or photostatic copies are true and correct copies of the originals of such documents. 
 Based on
the foregoing and subject to the qualifications and limitations set forth below, we are of the opinion that as of the date hereof: 

1.    Assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery by each of the parties thereto, the Indenture, including the
Guarantees contained therein, constitutes a valid and legally binding agreement of the Company and the Initial Guarantors, enforceable against the Company and the Initial Guarantors in accordance with its terms, subject to the Enforceability
Exceptions (as defined below). 
 2.    Assuming the due authorization and execution of the Notes by the Company, the
Notes, when executed, issued and authenticated in accordance with the terms of the Indenture and delivered and paid for in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement, will be the legally valid and binding obligations of the Company,
enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms, subject to the Enforceability Exceptions (as defined below). 

3.    The statements in the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Offering Memorandum under the caption “Description of
Notes” insofar as they purport to describe or summarize certain provisions of the Notes, the Guarantees, or the Indenture, under the caption “Description of Other Indebtedness” insofar as they purport to describe or summarize certain
contracts, are accurate descriptions or summaries in all material respects. 
 4.    The statements in the Pricing
Disclosure Package and the Offering Memorandum under the caption “Certain United States Federal Income Tax Consequences,” insofar as such statements purport to constitute summaries of United States federal income tax law and regulations or
legal conclusions with respect thereto, are accurate summaries in all material respects, subject to the assumptions and qualifications set forth therein. 

  
 Exhibit A-2-2 

 5.    The execution and delivery of the Purchase Agreement and the
Indenture and the issuance and sale of the Notes and the Guarantees by the Company and the Initial Guarantors to you and the other Initial Purchasers pursuant to the Purchase Agreement do not on the date hereof: (i) result in the breach of or a
default under any of the agreements listed on Schedule A hereto (provided that we express no opinion as to compliance with any financial or accounting test, or any limitation or restriction expressed as a dollar (or other currency) amount,
ratio or percentage in any of such agreements); or (ii) violate any U.S. federal or New York State statute, rule, or regulation, except that we express no opinion in this paragraph (g) as to the applicability of any federal or state
securities or Blue Sky laws, or any federal or state antifraud laws, rules or regulations; or (iii) require any consents, approvals, or authorizations to be obtained by the Company or the Initial Guarantors from, or any registrations or
qualifications to be made by the Company or the Initial Guarantors with, any governmental authority under any U.S. federal or New York State statute, rule or regulation applicable to the Company and the Initial Guarantors except (A) as have
been obtained or made or (B) for such consents, approvals, authorizations, orders, registrations or qualifications as may be required under applicable federal or state securities or Blue Sky laws. 

6.    Neither the Company nor any Initial Guarantor is, and immediately after giving effect to the sale of the Notes in
accordance with the Purchase Agreement and the application of the proceeds as described in the Offering Memorandum under the caption “Use of Proceeds,” none of them will be required to be, registered as an “investment company”
within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. 
 7.    Assuming (i) the accuracy of the
representations and warranties and compliance with the agreements of the Company contained in the Purchase Agreement and (ii) the accuracy of your representations and warranties and compliance with your agreements contained in the Purchase
Agreement, no registration of the Notes or the Guarantees under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and no qualification of the Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended, is required for the purchase of the Notes by you or the
initial resale of the Notes by you, in each case, in the manner contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Offering Memorandum. We express no opinion, however, as to when or under what circumstances any Notes
initially sold by you may be subsequently offered or resold. 
 8.    The documents incorporated by reference in each of
the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Offering Memorandum, when filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, appeared on their face to comply as to form in all material respects with the requirements of the Securities Act or Exchange Act and
the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder, as applicable; it being understood, however, that we express no view with respect to (i) Regulation S-T; (ii) the financial statements and
related schedules, including the notes and schedules thereto and the auditor’s report thereon any other financial or accounting information; or (iii) information pertaining to oil and gas reserves, included in, incorporated by reference
in, or omitted from, such documents. For purposes of this paragraph (j), we have assumed that the statements made in the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Offering Memorandum are correct and complete. 

  
 Exhibit A-2-3 

 In rendering the opinions expressed in paragraphs (1) and (2), we express no opinion as
to the enforceability of any provisions relating to: (i) any failure to comply with requirements concerning notices, relating to delay or omission to enforce rights or remedies or purporting to waive or affect rights, claims, defenses or other
benefits to the extent that any of the same cannot be waived or so affected under applicable law; (ii) indemnities or exculpation from liability to the extent prohibited by federal or state laws and the public policies underlying those laws;
(iii) requirements that all amendments, waivers and terminations be in writing or the disregard of any course of dealing between the parties; (iv) default interest, liquidated damages and other possible penalty provisions; (v) the
avoidance of the effect of any fraudulent transfer, fraudulent conveyance laws or similar provisions of applicable law by limiting the amount of a Guarantor’s obligation under the Indenture or the Guarantees; or (vi) applicable bankruptcy,
insolvency, moratorium, fraudulent transfer or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and equitable principles and implied covenants of good faith and fair dealing relating to enforceability (clauses
(i) through (vi) collectively, the “Enforceability Exceptions”). 
 The opinions set forth above are limited in
all respects to the federal laws of the United States and the laws of the State of New York. Various issues pertaining to Oklahoma law are addressed in the opinions of Crowe & Dunlevy, dated the date hereof and separately provided to you.
We express no opinion with respect to those matters herein, and to the extent elements of those opinions are necessary to the conclusions express herein, we have, with your consent, relied upon such opinions. 

In addition, we have participated in conferences with representatives of the Company and with representatives of its independent accountants
and reserve engineers and representatives of and counsel for the Initial Purchasers at which conferences the contents of the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Final Offering Memorandum and any amendment and supplement thereto and related matters
were discussed. Although we have not independently verified, are not passing upon, and are not assuming any responsibility for or expressing any opinion regarding the accuracy, completeness, or fairness of the statements contained in, the Time of
Sale Information and the Final Offering Memorandum (except to the extent specified in paragraphs (3) and (4) above), based on the foregoing participation in this transaction (and relying as to materiality as to factual matters on officers,
employees, and other representatives of the Issuers), no facts have come to our attention that have caused us to believe that: 
  

	 	(a)	 the Pricing Disclosure Package, as of the Time of Sale, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or
omitted to state a material fact necessary in order 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 and as of the date hereof, contained or contains any untrue
statement of a material fact or omitted or omits to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; 

  
 Exhibit A-2-4 

 except that in each case, we do not express any opinion or belief with respect to (i) the financial
statements and related schedules, including the notes and schedules thereto and the auditor’s report thereon, (ii) any other financial or accounting information; or (iii) information pertaining to oil and gas reserves, in each case
included in or omitted from the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Final Offering Memorandum. 
 We express no opinion or statement as to
any matter other than as expressly set forth above, and no opinion or statement on any other matter may be inferred or implied herefrom. The opinions and statements expressed herein are given as of the date hereof, and we undertake no, and hereby
disclaim any, obligation to advise you of any change in any matter set forth herein. 
 The foregoing opinions and the statements above are
being furnished only to you solely for your benefit in connection with the closing under the Purchase Agreement occurring today and, except with our prior written consent, are not to be used, circulated, quoted, published or otherwise referred to or
