Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrowers may borrow, repay and reborrow the Loans.

Section 2.02 Loans and Borrowings.

(a) Borrowings; Several Obligations. Each Loan shall be made as part of a Borrowing consisting of Loans made by the Lenders ratably in accordance with their respective Commitments. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan required to be made by it shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations hereunder; provided that the Commitments are several and no Lender shall be responsible for any other Lender’s failure to make Loans as required.

(b) Types of Loans. Subject to Section 3.03, each Borrowing shall be comprised entirely of ABR Loans or Eurodollar Loans as the Borrowers may request in accordance herewith. Each Lender at its option may make any Eurodollar Loan by causing any domestic or foreign branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Loan; provided that any exercise of such option shall not affect the joint and several obligation of the Borrowers to repay such Loan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(c) Minimum Amounts; Limitation on Number of Borrowings. At the commencement of each Interest Period for any Eurodollar Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $3,000,000.

Borrowings outstanding. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Borrowers shall not be entitled to request, or to elect to convert or continue, any Borrowing if the Interest Period requested with respect thereto would end after the Maturity Date.

(d) Notes. The Loans made by the Lenders shall be evidenced by a promissory note, executed and delivered by the Borrowers, payable to the order of each Lender in substantially the form of Exhibit A, dated, in the case of (i) any Lender party hereto as of the date of this Agreement, as of the date of this Agreement, or (ii) any Lender that becomes a party hereto pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption, as of the effective date of the Assignment and Assumption, payable to the order of such Lender in a principal amount equal to its Maximum Credit Amount as in effect on such date, and otherwise duly completed.

The date, amount, Type, interest rate and, if applicable, Interest Period of each Loan made by each Lender, and all payments made on account of the principal thereof, shall be recorded by such Lender on its books for its Note, and, prior to any transfer, may be endorsed by such Lender on a schedule attached to such Note or any continuation thereof or on any separate record maintained by such Lender. Failure to make any such notation or to attach a schedule shall not affect any Lender’s or any Borrower’s rights or obligations in respect of such Loans or affect the validity of such transfer by any Lender of its Note.

Promptly following receipt of a Borrowing Request in accordance with this Section 2.03, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of the amount of such Lender’s Loan to be made as part of the requested Borrowing.

The Borrowers may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing.

(b) Interest Election Requests. To make an election pursuant to this Section 2.04, the Borrowers (or Borrower Representative) shall notify the Administrative Agent of such election by telephone or by a written Interest Election Request in substantially the form of Exhibit C and signed by the Borrowers (or Borrower Representative) (a “written Interest Election Request”) by the time that a Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.03 if the Borrowers were requesting a Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election.

(ii) the effective date of the election made pursuant to such Interest Election Request, which shall be a Business Day;

(iii) whether the resulting Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a Eurodollar Borrowing; and

(iv) if the resulting Borrowing is a Eurodollar Borrowing, the Interest Period to be applicable thereto after giving effect to such election, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”.

If any such Interest Election Request requests a Eurodollar Borrowing but does not specify an Interest Period, then the Borrowers shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration.

(d) Notice to Lenders by the Administrative Agent. Promptly following receipt of an Interest Election Request, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of such Lender’s portion of each resulting Borrowing.

(e) Effect of Failure to Deliver Timely Interest Election Request and Events of Default on Interest Election. If the Borrowers fail to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to a Eurodollar Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period such Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing: (i) no outstanding Borrowing may be converted to or continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing (and any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a Eurodollar Borrowing shall be ineffective) and (ii) unless repaid, each Eurodollar Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto.

Section 2.05 Funding of Borrowings.

(a) Funding by Lenders. Each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds by 1:00 p.m., Chicago, Illinois time, to the account of the Administrative Agent most recently designated by it for such purpose by notice to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent will make such Loans available to the Borrowers by promptly crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to an account of the Borrowers maintained with the Administrative Agent and designated by the Borrowers (or Borrower Representative) in the applicable Borrowing Request; provided that ABR Loans made to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as provided in Section 2.08(e) shall be remitted by the Administrative Agent to the Issuing Bank that made such LC Disbursement.

CHAPARRAL ENERGY, L.L.C.

CREDIT AGREEMENT

(b) Presumption of Funding by the Lenders. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with Section 2.05(a) and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrowers a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrowers severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrowers to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation or (ii) in the case of the Borrowers, the interest rate applicable to ABR Loans. If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing.

Section 2.06 Changes in the Aggregate Maximum Credit Amounts.

(a) Scheduled Termination of Commitments. Unless previously terminated, the Commitments shall terminate on the Maturity Date. If at any time the Aggregate Maximum Credit Amounts are terminated in full or reduced to zero, then the Commitments shall terminate on the effective date of such termination or reduction.

(b) Optional Termination and Reduction of Aggregate Credit Amounts.

(i) The Borrowers may at any time terminate, or from time to time reduce, the Aggregate Maximum Credit Amounts; provided that (A) each reduction of the Aggregate Maximum Credit Amounts shall be in an amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $5,000,000 and (B) the Borrowers shall not terminate or reduce the Aggregate Maximum Credit Amounts if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment of the Loans in accordance with Section 3.04(c), the total Credit Exposures would exceed the total Commitments.

(ii) The Borrowers (or the Borrower Representative) shall notify the Administrative Agent of any election to terminate or reduce the Aggregate Maximum Credit Amounts under Section 2.06(b)(i) at least three Business Days prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction, specifying such election and the effective date thereof.

(iii) Any Proposed Borrowing Base that would increase the Borrowing Base then in effect must be approved or deemed to have been approved by all of the Lenders as provided in this Section 2.07(c)(iii); and any Proposed Borrowing Base that would decrease or maintain the Borrowing Base then in effect must be approved or be deemed to have been approved by the Required Lenders as provided in this Section 2.07(c)(iii). Upon receipt of the Proposed Borrowing Base Notice, each Lender shall have fifteen (15) days to agree with the Proposed Borrowing Base or disagree with the Proposed Borrowing Base by proposing an alternate Borrowing Base (an “Alternate Borrowing Base”). If at the end of such fifteen (15) days, any Lender has not communicated its approval or disapproval in writing to the Administrative Agent, such silence shall be deemed to be an approval of the Proposed Borrowing Base. If, at the end of such 15-day period, all of the Lenders, in the case of a Proposed Borrowing Base or Alternate Borrowing Base that would increase the Borrowing Base then in effect, or the Required Lenders, in the case of a Proposed Borrowing Base or Alternate Borrowing Base that would decrease or maintain the Borrowing Base then in effect, have approved or deemed to have approved, as aforesaid, then the Proposed Borrowing Base or Alternate Borrowing Base, as applicable, shall become the new Borrowing Base, effective on the date specified in Section 2.07(e). If, however, at the end of such 15-day period, all of the Lenders or the Required Lenders, as applicable, have not approved or deemed to have approved, as aforesaid, then the Administrative Agent shall (A) notify the Borrowers (or Borrower Representative) of the Proposed Borrowing Base or

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

(d) Mandatory Redetermination. In addition to other redeterminations of the Borrowing Base provided for herein, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Borrowing Base shall reduce immediately and automatically upon the consummation of the issuance of any Permitted Bond Debt by an amount equal to the Debt Issuance Reduction Amount.

(e) Effectiveness of a Redetermined Borrowing Base. After a redetermined Borrowing Base is approved or is deemed to have been approved by all of the Lenders or the Required Lenders, or otherwise automatically adjusted, as applicable, pursuant to Section 2.07(c)(iii) or Section 2.07(d), the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrowers (or Borrower Representative) and the Lenders of the amount of the redetermined Borrowing Base (the “New Borrowing Base Notice”), and such amount shall become the new Borrowing Base, effective and applicable to the Borrowers, the Agents, each Issuing Bank and the Lenders:

(i) in the case of a Scheduled Redetermination, (A) if the Administrative Agent shall have received the Engineering Reports required to be delivered by the Borrowers pursuant to Section 8.12(a) and (c) in a timely and complete manner, then on the June 1st or December 1st, as applicable, following (or as set forth in) such notice, or (B) if the Administrative Agent shall not have received the Engineering Reports required to be delivered by the Borrowers pursuant to Section 8.12(a) and (c) in a timely and complete manner, then on the Business Day next succeeding delivery of such notice;

(ii) in the case of an Interim Redetermination, on the Business Day next succeeding delivery of such notice; and

(iii) in the case of a Mandatory Redetermination, on the date of the consummation of the issuance of any Permitted Bond Debt, regardless of the date of delivery of such notice.

Such amount shall then become the Borrowing Base until the next Scheduled Redetermination Date, the next Interim Redetermination Date, the Mandatory Redetermination Date or the next adjustment to the Borrowing Base under Section 8.13(c) or Section 9.12, whichever occurs first. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Scheduled Redetermination or Interim Redetermination shall become effective until the New Borrowing Base Notice related thereto is received by the Borrowers (or Borrower Representative).

Section 2.08 Letters of Credit.

(a) General. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrowers (or Borrower Representative) may request any Issuing Bank to issue Letters of Credit in dollars for its own account or for the account of any of its Subsidiaries, in a form reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and such Issuing Bank, at any time and from time to time during the Availability Period. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of any form of letter of credit application or other agreement submitted by the Borrowers (or Borrower Representative) to, or entered into by the Borrowers (or Borrower Representative) with, an Issuing Bank relating to any Letter of Credit, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control.

(b) Notice of Issuance, Amendment, Renewal, Extension; Certain Conditions. To request the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or the amendment, renewal or extension of an outstanding Letter of Credit), the Borrowers (or Borrower Representative) shall hand deliver or telecopy (or transmit by electronic communication, if arrangements for doing so have been approved by the Issuing Bank) to any Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent (not less than three (3) Business Days in advance of the requested date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension) a notice: (i) requesting the issuance of a Letter of Credit or identifying the outstanding Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank to be amended, renewed or extended; (ii) specifying the date of issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (which shall be a Business Day); (iii) specifying the date on which such Letter of Credit is to expire (which shall comply with Section 2.08(c)); (iv) specifying the amount of such Letter of Credit; (v) specifying the name and address of the beneficiary thereof and such other information as shall be necessary to prepare, amend, renew or extend such Letter of Credit; and (vi) specifying the amount of the then effective Borrowing Base, the current total Credit Exposures (without regard to the requested Letter of Credit or the requested amendment, renewal or extension of an outstanding Letter of Credit) and the pro forma total Credit Exposures (giving effect to the requested Letter of Credit or the requested amendment, renewal or extension of an outstanding Letter of Credit). If requested by any Issuing Bank, the Borrowers (or Borrower Representative) shall submit a letter of credit application on such Issuing Bank’s standard form in connection with any request for a Letter of Credit. A Letter of Credit shall be issued, amended, renewed or extended only if (and with respect to each notice provided by the Borrowers (or Borrower Representative) above and any issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of each Letter of Credit, the Borrowers shall be deemed to represent and warrant that), after giving effect to such issuance, amendment, renewal or extension (A) the LC Exposure shall not exceed the LC Commitment and (B) the total Credit Exposures shall not exceed the total Commitments (i.e. the lesser of the Aggregate Maximum Credit Amounts and the then effective Borrowing Base).

(c) Expiration Date. Each Letter of Credit shall expire at or prior to the close of business on the earlier of (i) the date one year after the date of the issuance of such Letter of Credit (or, in the case of any renewal, which renewal may be provided for in the initial Letter of Credit, or extension thereof, one year after such renewal or extension) and (ii) the date that is five Business Days prior to the Maturity Date.

CREDIT AGREEMENT

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

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

33

CHAPARRAL ENERGY, L.L.C.

CREDIT AGREEMENT

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

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

(g) Disbursement Procedures. Each Issuing Bank shall, promptly following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank. Such Issuing Bank shall promptly notify (prior to making any such disbursement) the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers (or Borrower

34

CHAPARRAL ENERGY, L.L.C.

CREDIT AGREEMENT

Representative) by telephone (confirmed by telecopy) of such demand for payment and whether such Issuing Bank will make an LC Disbursement thereunder; provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the Borrowers of their joint and several obligation to reimburse such Issuing Bank and the Lenders with respect to any such LC Disbursement.

(h) Interim Interest. If any Issuing Bank shall make any LC Disbursement, then, until the Borrowers shall have reimbursed such Issuing Bank for such LC Disbursement (either with its own funds or a Borrowing under Section 2.08(e)), the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the date such LC Disbursement is made to but excluding the date that the Borrowers reimburse such LC Disbursement, at the rate per annum then applicable to ABR Loans. Interest accrued pursuant to this Section 2.08(h) shall be for the account of such Issuing Bank, except that interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Lender pursuant to Section 2.08(e) to reimburse such Issuing Bank shall be for the account of such Lender to the extent of such payment.

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

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

35

CHAPARRAL ENERGY, L.L.C.

CREDIT AGREEMENT

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

Section 2.09 Reliance on Notices; Appointment of Borrower Representative. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall be fully protected in relying upon, any Borrowing Request, Interest Election Request, request for Letter of Credit or similar notice believed by the Administrative Agent to be genuine. The Administrative Agent may assume that each Person executing and delivering any notice in accordance herewith was duly authorized, unless the responsible individual acting thereon for the Administrative Agent has actual knowledge to the contrary. Parent and each Borrower hereby designates Chaparral as its representative and agent on its behalf for the purposes of issuing Borrowing Requests, Interest Election Requests, giving instructions with respect to the disbursement of the proceeds of the Loans, selecting interest rate options, requesting Letters of Credit, giving and receiving all other

36

CHAPARRAL ENERGY, L.L.C.

notices and consents hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents and taking all other actions (including in respect of compliance with covenants) on behalf of any Credit Party under the Loan Documents. Borrower Representative hereby accepts such appointment. The Administrative Agent and each Lender may regard any notice or other communication pursuant to any Loan Document from Borrower Representative as a notice or communication from all Credit Parties, and may give any notice or communication required or permitted to be given to any Credit Party hereunder to Borrower Representative on behalf of such Credit Party. Parent and each Borrower agree that each notice, election, representation and warranty, covenant, agreement and undertaking made on its behalf by Borrower Representative shall be deemed for all purposes to have been made by such Credit Party and shall be binding upon and enforceable against such Credit Party to the same extent as if the same had been made directly by such Credit Party.

ARTICLE III

(d) Interest Payment Dates. Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan and on the Termination Date; provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to Section 3.02(c) shall be payable on demand, (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan (other than an optional prepayment of an ABR Loan prior to the Termination Date), accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment, and (iii) in the event of any conversion of any Eurodollar Loan prior to the end of the current Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion.

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

then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrowers (or Borrower Representative) and the Lenders by telephone or telecopy as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrowers (or Borrower Representative) and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a Eurodollar Borrowing shall be ineffective, and (ii) if any Borrowing Request requests a Eurodollar Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be made as an ABR Borrowing.

Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment date and the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid. Promptly following receipt of any such notice relating to a Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each partial prepayment of any Borrowing shall be in an amount that would be permitted in the case of an advance of a Borrowing of the same Type as provided in Section 2.02. Each prepayment of a Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the prepaid Borrowing. Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the extent required by Section 3.02.

CREDIT AGREEMENT

(c) Mandatory Prepayments.

(i) If, after giving effect to any termination or reduction of the Aggregate Maximum Credit Amount pursuant to Section 2.06(b), the total Credit Exposures exceeds the total Commitments, then the Borrowers shall (A) prepay the Borrowings on the date of such termination or reduction in an aggregate principal amount equal to such excess, and (B) if any excess remains after prepaying all of the Borrowings as a result of an LC Exposure, pay to the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders an amount equal to such excess to be held as cash collateral as provided in Section 2.08(j).

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

(iii) Upon any adjustments to the Borrowing Base pursuant to Section 2.07(d) or Section 9.12, if the total Credit Exposures exceeds the Borrowing Base as adjusted, then the Borrowers shall (A) prepay the Borrowings in an aggregate principal

The Borrowers shall be jointly and severally obligated to make such prepayment and/or deposit of cash collateral on the date the adjustment occurs or the date it receives cash proceeds as a result of such disposition, as applicable; provided that all payments required to be made pursuant to this Section 3.04(c)(iii) must be made on or prior to the Termination Date.

(v) Each prepayment of Borrowings pursuant to this Section 3.04(c) shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the prepaid Borrowings. Prepayments pursuant to this Section 3.04(c) shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the extent required by Section 3.02.

Accrued commitment fees shall be payable in arrears on the last day of March, June, September and December of each year and on the Termination Date, commencing on the first such date to occur after the date hereof. All commitment fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, unless such computation would exceed the Highest Lawful Rate, in which case interest shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year), and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).

(b) Letter of Credit Fees. The Borrowers jointly and severally agree to pay (i) to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a participation fee with respect to its participations in Letters of Credit, which shall equal a percentage (being the same Applicable Margin used to determine the interest rate applicable to Eurodollar Loans) of the stated amount of each such Letter of Credit during the period from and including the date of this Agreement to but excluding the later of the date on which such Lender’s Commitment terminates and the date on which such Lender ceases to have any LC Exposure, provided that in no event shall such fee be less than $300, (ii) to each Issuing Bank, for its own account, a fronting fee equal to 0.125%

per annum of the stated amount of each such Letter of Credit during the period from and including the date of this Agreement to but excluding the later of the date of termination of the Commitments and the date on which there ceases to be any LC Exposure, and (iii) to each Issuing Bank, for its own account, its standard and customary fees with respect to the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank or processing of drawings thereunder. Participation fees and fronting fees with respect to any Letter of Credit shall be payable at the time of issuance of such Letter of Credit. Any other fees payable to an Issuing Bank pursuant to this Section 3.05(b) shall be payable within 10 days after demand. All participation fees and fronting fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, unless such computation would exceed the Highest Lawful Rate, in which case interest shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year), and shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day).

(c) Administrative Agent Fees. The Borrowers jointly and severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, fees payable in the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon between or among the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent, including the fees set forth in any separate fee letter.

Section 3.06 Joint and Several Liability; Rights of Contribution.

(a) Each Borrower states and acknowledges that: (i) pursuant to this Agreement, the Borrowers desire to utilize their borrowing potential on a combined basis to the same extent possible if they were merged into a single corporate entity; (ii) each Borrower has determined that it will benefit specifically and materially from the advances of credit contemplated by this Agreement; (iii) it is both a condition precedent to the obligations of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereunder and a desire of each Borrower that each Borrower execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders this Agreement; and (iv) each Borrower has requested and bargained for the structure and terms of and security for the Borrowings contemplated by this Agreement.

(b) Each Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally: (i) agrees that it is jointly and severally liable to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders for the full and prompt payment and performance of the obligations of each Borrower under this Agreement that may specify that a particular Borrower is responsible for a given payment or performance; (ii) agrees to fully and promptly perform all of its obligations hereunder with respect to each advance of credit hereunder as if such advance had been made directly to it; and (iii) agrees as a primary obligation to indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender, on demand, for and against any loss incurred by the Administrative Agent or any Lender as a result of any of the obligations of any Borrower (the “subject Borrower”) being or becoming void, voidable, unenforceable or ineffective for any reason whatsoever, whether or not known to the subject Borrower or any Person, the amount of such loss being the amount which the Administrative Agent or the Lenders (or any of them) would otherwise have been entitled to recover from the Borrowers.

(c) It is the intent of each Borrower that the indebtedness, obligations and liabilities hereunder of no one of them be subject to challenge on any basis related to any federal or state law dealing with fraudulent conveyances or any other law related to transfers for less

41

CHAPARRAL ENERGY, L.L.C.

CREDIT AGREEMENT

than fair or reasonably equivalent value. Accordingly, as of the date hereof, the liability of each Borrower under this Section 3.06 together with all of its other liabilities to all Persons as of the date hereof and as of any other date on which a transfer is deemed to occur by virtue of this Agreement, calculated in amounts sufficient to pay its probable net liabilities on its existing indebtedness as the same become absolute and matured (“Dated Liabilities”) is and is to be, less than the amount of the aggregate of a fair valuation of its property as of such corresponding date (“Dated Assets”). To this end, each Borrower under this Section 3.06 (i) grants to and recognizes in each other Borrower ratably, rights of subrogation and contribution in the amount, if any, by which the Dated Assets of such Borrower, but for the aggregate of subrogation and contribution in its favor recognized herein, would exceed the Dated Liabilities of such Borrower, and (ii) acknowledges receipt of and recognizes its right to subrogation and contribution ratably from the other Borrowers in the amount, if any, by which the Dated Liabilities of such Borrower, but for the aggregate of subrogation and contribution in its favor recognized herein, would exceed the Dated Assets of such Borrower under this Section 3.06. In recognizing the value of the Dated Assets and the Dated Liabilities, it is understood that each Borrower will recognize, to at least the same extent of their aggregate recognition of liabilities hereunder, their rights to subrogation and contribution hereunder. It is a material objective of this Section 3.06 that each Borrower recognizes rights to subrogation and contribution rather than be deemed to be insolvent (or in contemplation thereof) by reason of an arbitrary interpretation of its joint and several obligations hereunder.

(d) Each Borrower agrees and acknowledges that the present structure of the credit facilities detailed in this Agreement is based in part upon the financial and other information presently known to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders regarding each Borrower, the corporate or other organizational structure of each Borrower, and the present financial condition of each Borrower. Upon or after the occurrence of an Event of Default and so long as it is continuing, each Borrower hereby agrees that the Required Lenders shall have (in addition to any other right provided for in the Loan Documents) the right, in their sole credit judgment, to require that any or all of the following changes be made to these credit facilities: (i) restrict loans and advances between the Borrowers, and (ii) establish such other procedures (in consultation with the Borrowers) as shall be reasonably deemed by the Required Lenders to be useful in tracking where Loans are made under this Agreement and the source of payments received by the Lenders on such Loans.

ARTICLE IV

PAYMENTS; PRO RATA TREATMENT; SHARING OF SET-OFFS.

Section 4.01 Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Set-offs.

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

42

CHAPARRAL ENERGY, L.L.C.

CREDIT AGREEMENT

may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent at its offices specified in Section 12.01, except payments to be made directly to an Issuing Bank as expressly provided herein and except that payments pursuant to Section 5.01, Section 5.02, Section 5.03 and Section 12.03 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. All payments hereunder shall be made in dollars.

(b) Application of Insufficient Payments. If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, unreimbursed LC Disbursements, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, towards payment of interest and fees then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties, and (ii) second, towards payment of principal and unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal and unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due to such parties.

(c) Sharing of Payments by Lenders. If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans or participations in LC Disbursements resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and participations in LC Disbursements and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans and participations in LC Disbursements of other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans and participations in LC Disbursements; provided that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this Section 4.01(c) shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by the Borrowers pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans or participations in LC Disbursements to any assignee or participant, other than to any Credit Party or Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this Section 4.01(c) shall apply). The Borrowers consent to the foregoing and agree, to the extent they may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against any Borrower rights of set-off and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of such Borrower in the amount of such participation.

Section 4.02 Presumption of Payment by the Borrowers. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrowers (or Borrower Representative) prior to the

43

CHAPARRAL ENERGY, L.L.C.

CREDIT AGREEMENT

date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or any Issuing Bank that the Borrowers will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrowers have made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if the Borrowers have not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or such Issuing Bank with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

Section 4.03 Certain Deductions by the Administrative Agent. If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.05(b), Section 2.08(d), Section 2.08(e) or Section 4.02 then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion (notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof), apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid.

Section 4.04 Disposition of Proceeds The Security Instruments contain an assignment by the Credit Parties (as applicable) unto and in favor of the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders and Secured Swap Providers of all of each Credit Party’s, as applicable, interest in and to production and all proceeds attributable thereto that may be produced from or allocated to the Mortgaged Property or, with respect to the Pledge Agreements, proceeds attributable to the pledge of Equity Interests thereunder. The Security Instruments further provide in general for the application of such proceeds to the satisfaction of the Indebtedness and other obligations described therein and secured thereby. Notwithstanding the assignment contained in such Security Instruments, until the occurrence of an Event of Default, (a) the Administrative Agent and the Lenders agree that they will neither notify the purchaser or purchasers of such production nor take any other action to cause such proceeds attributable to such production to be remitted to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders, but the Lenders will instead permit such proceeds to be paid to the Borrowers and their Subsidiaries and (b) the Lenders hereby authorize the Administrative Agent to take such actions as may be necessary to cause such proceeds attributable to production to be paid to the Borrowers and/or such Subsidiaries.

INCREASED COSTS; BREAK FUNDING PAYMENTS; TAXES; ILLEGALITY

Section 5.01 Increased Costs.

(a) Eurodollar Changes in Law. If any Change in Law shall:

(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate); or

(ii) impose on any Lender or the London interbank market any other condition affecting this Agreement or Eurodollar Loans made by such Lender;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any Eurodollar Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then the Borrowers will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(b) Capital Requirements. If any Lender or any Issuing Bank determines that any Change in Law regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank, to a level below that which such Lender or such Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrowers will pay to such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Issuing Bank or such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

(c) Certificates. A certificate of a Lender or any Issuing Bank setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or such Issuing Bank or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in Section 5.01(a) or (b) and reasonably detailed calculations therefor shall be delivered to the Borrowers (or Borrower Representative) and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrowers shall pay such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

(d) Effect of Failure or Delay in Requesting Compensation. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or any Issuing Bank to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 5.01 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or such Issuing Bank’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrowers shall not be required to compensate a Lender or an

CHAPARRAL ENERGY, L.L.C.

CREDIT AGREEMENT

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

Section 5.02 Break Funding Payments. In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any Eurodollar Loan into an ABR Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Eurodollar Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto, or (d) the assignment of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Borrowers (or Borrower Representative) pursuant to Section 5.04(b), then, in any such event, the Borrowers shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event. In the case of a Eurodollar Loan, such loss, cost or expense to any Lender shall be deemed to include an amount determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred, at the Adjusted LIBO Rate that would have been applicable to such Loan, for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Loan), over (ii) the amount of interest which would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate which such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for dollar deposits of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the eurodollar market. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 5.02 and reasonably detailed calculations therefor shall be delivered to the Borrowers (or Borrower Representative) and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrowers shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

Section 5.03 Taxes.

(a) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Credit Party under any Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes; provided that if any Credit Party shall be required to deduct any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes from such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 5.03(a)), the Agent, Lender or Issuing Bank (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) Parent or such Borrower shall or shall cause such other Credit Party to make such deductions and (iii) Parent or such Borrower shall or shall cause such other Credit Party to pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

A certificate of such Agent, a Lender or an Issuing Bank as to the amount of such payment or liability under this Section 5.03 shall be delivered to the Borrowers (or Borrower Representative) and shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by a Credit Party to a Governmental Authority, the Borrowers (or Borrower Representative) shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(e) Foreign Lenders. Any Foreign Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which a Borrower is located, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrowers (or Borrower Representative) (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrowers (or Borrower Representative) as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate.

(f) Tax Refunds. If an Agent or a Lender determines, in its reasonable discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrowers or with respect to which the Borrowers have paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 5.03, it shall pay over such refund to the Borrowers (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrowers under this Section 5.03 with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses of such Agent or such Lender and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided, that the Borrowers, upon the request of such Agent or such Lender, jointly and severally agree to repay the amount paid over to the Borrowers (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to such Agent or such Lender in the event such Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This Section 5.03 shall not be construed to require any Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes which it deems confidential) to any Borrower or any other Person.

Section 5.04 Mitigation Obligations.

(a) Designation of Different Lending Office. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 5.01, or if any Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 5.03, then such Lender shall use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 5.01 or Section 5.03, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender. The Borrowers hereby jointly and severally agree to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

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

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

(b) All material leases and agreements necessary for the conduct of the business of the Credit Parties are valid and subsisting, in full force and effect, and there exists no default or event or circumstance which with the giving of notice or the passage of time or both would give rise to a default under any such lease or leases, which could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

As of the date hereof, except as set forth on Schedule 7.19 or on the most recent certificate delivered pursuant to Section 8.12(c), on a net basis there are no gas imbalances, take or pay or other prepayments which would require any Credit Party to deliver Hydrocarbons produced from the Oil and Gas Properties at some future time without then or thereafter receiving full payment therefor exceeding 50 mmcf equivalent in the aggregate.

Section 7.20 Marketing of Production. Except for contracts listed and in effect on the date hereof on Schedule 7.20, and thereafter either disclosed in writing to the Administrative Agent or included in the most recently delivered Reserve Report (with respect to all of which contracts Parent and the Borrowers jointly and severally represent that they or their Subsidiaries are receiving a price for all production sold thereunder which is computed substantially in accordance with the terms of the relevant contract and are not having deliveries curtailed substantially below the subject Property’s delivery capacity), no material agreements exist which are not cancelable on 60 days notice or less without penalty or detriment for the sale of production from the Credit Parties’ Hydrocarbons (including, without limitation, calls on or other rights to purchase, production, whether or not the same are currently being exercised) that (a) pertain to the sale of production at a fixed price and (b) have a maturity or expiry date of longer than six (6) months from the date hereof.

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

Section 11.04 Reliance by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon and each of the Credit Parties, the Lenders and each Issuing Bank hereby waives the right to dispute the Administrative Agent’s record of such statement, except in the case of gross negligence or willful misconduct by such Agent. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Credit Parties), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts. The Agents may deem and treat the payee of any Note as the holder thereof for all purposes hereof unless and until a written notice of the assignment or transfer thereof permitted hereunder shall have been filed with the Administrative Agent.

Section 11.05 Subagents. The Administrative Agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by it.

Section 11.06 Resignation of Agents. Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Agent as provided in this Section 11.06, any Agent may resign at any time by notifying the Lenders, each Issuing Bank and the Borrowers (or Borrower Representative). Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with and upon the approval of the Borrowers (so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, to appoint a successor. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders and each Issuing Bank, appoint a successor Agent which shall be a bank with an office in New York, New York, or an Affiliate of any such bank. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. The fees payable by the Borrowers to a successor Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrowers and such successor. After the Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article XI and Section 12.03 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while it was acting as Agent.

Section 11.07 Agents as Lenders. Each bank serving as an Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent, and such bank and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of business with any Credit Party or other Affiliate thereof as if it were not an Agent hereunder.

Section 11.08 No Reliance. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any other Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement and each other Loan Document to which it is a party. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any other Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document, any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder. The Agents shall not be required to keep themselves informed as to the performance or observance by any Credit Party of this Agreement, the Loan Documents or any other document referred to or provided for herein or to inspect the Properties or books of the Credit Parties. Except for notices, reports and other documents and information expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent hereunder, neither the Agents nor the Arranger shall have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the affairs,

Section 11.09 Authority to Release Collateral and Liens. Each Lender and each Issuing Bank hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to release any collateral that is permitted to be sold or released pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents.

Section 11.10 The Arranger and Agents. Neither the Arranger, any syndication agent (if any), nor any documentation agent (if any) shall have any duties, responsibilities or liabilities under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents other than their duties, responsibilities and liabilities in their capacity as Lenders hereunder.

Section 11.11 Filing of Proofs of Claim. In case of any Default or Event of Default under Section 10.01(f), Section 10.01(g) or Section 10.01(h), the Administrative Agent (regardless of whether the principal of any Loan or LC Exposure shall then be due and payable and regardless of whether the Administrative Agent has made any demand on any Credit Party) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

(a) to (i) file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans, LC Exposure and all other Indebtedness that is owing and unpaid and (ii) file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders, the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders, the Administrative Agent under Section 3.05 and Section 12.03) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

(b) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same.

Each Lender hereby authorizes any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, conservator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding: (i) to make such payments to the Administrative Agent; and (ii) if the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Section 3.05 and Section 12.03. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the

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

Section 11.12 Execution of Documents. Each Lender hereby empowers and authorizes the Administrative Agent to execute and deliver to Parent and the Borrowers (or Borrower Representative) on their behalf the Certificate of Effectiveness, the Security Instruments and all related agreements, documents or instruments as shall be necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of the Security Instruments.

Section 12.02 Waivers; Amendments.

(a) No failure on the part of any Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender to exercise and no delay in exercising, and no course of dealing with respect to, any right, power or privilege, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such right, power or privilege, under any of the Loan Documents shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege under any of the Loan Documents preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. The rights and remedies of the Agents, each Issuing Bank and the Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or consent to any departure by any Credit Party therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by Section 12.02(b), and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan or issuance of a Letter of Credit shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether any Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time.

(b) Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof nor any Security Instrument nor any provision thereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by Parent, the Borrowers (or Borrower Representative) and the Required Lenders or by Parent, the Borrowers (or Borrower Representative) and the Administrative Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders; provided that no such agreement shall (i) increase the Commitment or the Maximum Credit Amount of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender, (ii) increase the Borrowing Base without the written consent of each Lender, or modify Section 2.07 without the consent of each Lender, (iii) reduce the principal amount of any Loan or LC Disbursement or reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce any fees payable hereunder, or reduce any other Indebtedness hereunder or under any other Loan Document, without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby, (iv) postpone the scheduled date of payment of the principal amount of any Loan or LC Disbursement, or any interest thereon, or any fees payable hereunder, or any other Indebtedness hereunder or under any other Loan Document, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, or postpone or extend the Termination Date without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby, (v) change Section 4.01(b) or Section 4.01(c) in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby, without the written consent of each Lender, (vi) waive or amend Section 8.14 or change the definition of the terms “Domestic Subsidiary”, “Foreign Subsidiary” or “Subsidiary”, without the written consent of each Lender, (vii) release any Guarantor (except as set forth in the Guaranty Agreement), release any of the collateral (other than as provided in Section 11.09), or reduce the percentages set forth in Section 8.14(b) to less than the percentages set forth therein as of the date hereof, without the written consent of each Lender, (viii) change any of the provisions of Section 10.02(c), this

Notwithstanding the foregoing, any supplement to Schedule 7.15 (Subsidiaries) shall be effective simply by delivering to the Administrative Agent a supplemental schedule clearly marked as such and, upon receipt, the Administrative Agent will promptly deliver a copy thereof to the Lenders.

Section 12.03 Expenses, Indemnity; Damage Waiver.

(a) The Borrowers shall (and are jointly and severally obligated to) pay (i) all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent and their Affiliates, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel, in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein, the preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery and administration (both before and after the execution hereof and including advice of counsel to the Administrative Agent as to the rights and duties of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders with respect thereto) of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any amendments, modifications or waivers of or consents related to the provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall be consummated), (ii) all costs, expenses, Taxes, assessments and other charges incurred by any Agent or any Lender in connection with any filing, registration, recording or perfection of any security interest contemplated by this Agreement or any Security Instrument or any other document referred to therein, and (iii) all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by any Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender, including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender, in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, including its rights under this Section 12.03, or in connection with the Loans made or Letters of Credit issued hereunder, including, without limitation, all such out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Loans or Letters of Credit.

Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby (including any Affiliate of any Issuing Bank that issues any Letter of Credit), Participants (to the extent provided in Section 12.04(c)) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(b) (i) Subject to the conditions set forth in Section 12.04(b)(ii), any Lender may assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) of: (A) the Borrowers (or Borrower Representative), provided that no consent of the Borrowers (or Borrower Representative) shall be required for an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender, an Approved Fund or, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any other assignee; and (B) the Administrative Agent and any Issuing Bank, provided that no such consent shall be required for an assignment to an assignee that is a Lender immediately prior to giving effect to such assignment.

(ii) Assignments shall be subject to the following additional conditions: (A) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment, the amount of the Commitment of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $5,000,000, and the Commitments of any assigning Lender remaining a party hereto after giving effect to the assignment shall be at least $5,000,000, unless, in each case, the Borrowers (or Borrower Representative) and the Administrative Agent otherwise consents, provided that no such consent of the Borrowers (or Borrower Representative) shall be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; (B) each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement; (C) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500; (D) the assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire

(iii) Subject to Section 12.04(b)(iv) and the acceptance and recording thereof, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Section 5.01, Section 5.02, Section 5.03 and Section 12.03). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 12.04 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Section 12.04(c).

The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by any Borrower, any Issuing Bank and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. In connection with any changes to the Register, if necessary, the Administrative Agent will reflect the revisions on Annex I and forward a copy of such revised Annex I to the Borrowers (or Borrower Representative), each Issuing Bank and each Lender.

(c) (i) Any Lender may, without the consent of Parent, the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent or any Issuing Bank, sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans owing to it); provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (C) Parent, the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in the proviso to Section 12.02 that affects such Participant. In addition such agreement must provide that the Participant be bound by the provisions of Section 12.03. Subject to Section 12.04(c)(ii), Parent and the Borrowers agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 5.01, Section 5.02 and Section 5.03 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 12.04(b).

There are no unwritten oral agreements between the parties.

Representations, Warranties and Covenants

Section 3.1. Representations and Warranties. Pledgor represents and warrants as follows:

(a) Ownership and Liens. Pledgor has good and marketable title to the Collateral free and clear of all Liens, encumbrances or adverse claims, except for the security interest created by this Agreement and except as provided in Section 3.1(d)(iv). No effective financing statement or other instrument similar in effect covering all or any part of the Collateral is on file in any recording office except such as have been filed in favor of Pledgee relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.

(b) No Conflicts or Consents. Neither the ownership or the intended use of the Collateral by Pledgor, nor the grant of the security interest by Pledgor to Pledgee herein, nor the exercise by Pledgee of its rights or remedies hereunder, will (i) conflict with any provision of (a) any domestic or foreign law, statute, rule or regulation, (b) the articles of organization, certificate of formation, certificate of incorporation, articles of incorporation, charter, bylaws, limited liability company agreement or other organizational document of any Subsidiary, or (c) any agreement, judgment, license, order or permit applicable to or binding upon Pledgor or any Subsidiary; or (ii) result in or require the creation of any Lien, charge or encumbrance upon any assets or properties of Pledgor except as expressly contemplated in the Obligation Documents.

Pledgor has and will have at all times full right, power and authority to grant a security interest in the Collateral to Pledgee in the manner provided herein, free and clear of any Lien, adverse claim, or encumbrance (except as provided in Section 3.1(d)(iv)). This Agreement creates a valid and binding security interest in favor of Pledgee in the Collateral securing the Obligations. The taking possession by Pledgee (for the ratable benefit of Lenders) of all certificates, instruments and cash constituting Collateral from time to time, together with appropriate stock powers, and the filing of the financing statements delivered concurrently herewith by Pledgor to Pledgee will perfect, and establish the priority required by Section 3.1(d)(iv) of, Pledgee’s security interest hereunder in the Collateral securing

Exhibit F-4

CHAPARRAL ENERGY, L.L.C.

CREDIT AGREEMENT

the Obligations. No further or subsequent filing, recording, registration, other public notice or other action is necessary or desirable to perfect or otherwise continue, preserve or protect such security interest except for continuation statements or filings as contemplated in Section 3.3(b) or otherwise by the Code.

(d) Pledged Equity. (i) Pledgor is the legal and beneficial owner of the Pledged Equity; (ii) the Pledged Equity is duly authorized and issued, fully paid and non-assessable (as applicable), and all documentary, stamp or other Taxes or fees owing in connection with the issuance, transfer and/or pledge thereof hereunder have been paid; (iii) no dispute, right of setoff, counterclaim or defense exists with respect to all or any part of the Pledged Equity; (iv) the Pledged Equity is free and clear of all Liens, options, warrants, puts, calls or other rights of third Persons, and restrictions, other than (A) those Liens arising under this Agreement or any other of the Loan Documents, (B) Liens for Taxes or assessments not yet due or not yet delinquent, or, if delinquent, that are being contested in good faith in the normal course of business by appropriate action, as required by Section 8.04 of the Credit Agreement, and (C) restrictions on transferability imposed by applicable state and federal securities laws; (v) Pledgor has full right and authority to pledge the Pledged Equity for the purposes and upon the terms set out herein; (vi) certificates (as applicable) representing the Pledged Equity have been delivered to Pledgee, together with a duly executed blank stock power for each certificate; and (vii) no Subsidiary has issued, and there are not outstanding, any options, warrants or other rights to acquire Equity of any Subsidiary.

Section 3.2. Affirmative Covenants. Unless Pledgee shall otherwise consent in writing, Pledgor will at all times comply with the covenants contained in this Section 3.2 from the date hereof and so long as any part of the Obligations or Commitments is outstanding.

(a) Ownership and Liens. Pledgor will maintain good and marketable title to all Collateral free and clear of all Liens, encumbrances or adverse claims, except for (i) the security interest created by this Agreement, (ii) those provided in Section 3.1(d)(iv), and (iii) the security interests and other encumbrances expressly permitted by the Credit Agreement.

Pledgor will defend Pledgee’s security interest in and to the Collateral against the claims of any Person.

(b) Further Assurances. Pledgor will at any time and from time to time promptly execute and deliver all further instruments and documents and take all further action that may be necessary or desirable or that Pledgee may request in order (i) to perfect and protect the security interest created or purported to be created hereby and the priority required by Section 3.1(d)(iv) of such security interest; (ii) to enable Pledgee to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder in respect of the Collateral; or (iii) to otherwise effect the purposes of this Agreement, including: (A) executing and filing such financing or continuation statements, or amendments thereto, as may be necessary or desirable or that Pledgee may request in order to perfect and preserve the security interest created or purported to be created hereby, and (B) furnishing to Pledgee from time to time statements and schedules further identifying and describing the Collateral and such other reports in connection with the Collateral as Pledgee may reasonably request, all in reasonable detail.

CHAPARRAL ENERGY, L.L.C.

CREDIT AGREEMENT

Pledgor recognizes that financing statements pertaining to the Collateral have been or may be filed in the jurisdiction of Pledgor’s organization, where Pledgor maintains any Collateral, has its records concerning any Collateral, has its chief executive office or chief place of business, or has its principal place of residence. Without limitation of any other covenant herein, Pledgor will not cause or permit any change to be made in its name, identity, corporate structure or jurisdiction of organization, or any change to be made to a jurisdiction other than as represented in the Credit Agreement in (i) the location of any records concerning any Collateral, or (ii) the location of its chief executive office, chief place of business or principal place of residence, unless Pledgor shall have notified Pledgee of such change at least fifteen (15) days prior to the effective date of such change, and shall have first taken all action reasonably required by Pledgee for the purpose of further perfecting or protecting the security interest in favor of Pledgee in the Collateral. In any notice furnished pursuant to this subsection, Pledgor will expressly state that the notice is required by this Agreement and contains facts that may require additional filings of financing statements or other notices for the purposes of continuing perfection of Pledgee’s security interest in the Collateral.

(c) Impairment of Security Interest. Pledgor will not take or fail to take any action which would in any manner impair the enforceability of Pledgee’s security interest in any Collateral.

(d) Restrictions on Pledged Equity. Except for the bylaws, limited liability company agreement, regulations, partnership agreement or other charter or organizational documents of Subsidiaries, Pledgor will not enter into any agreement creating, or otherwise permit to exist, any restriction or condition upon the transfer, voting or control of any Pledged Equity.

(c) Performance by Pledgee. If Pledgor fails to perform any agreement or obligation contained herein, Pledgee may itself perform, or cause performance of, such agreement or obligation, and the expenses of Pledgee incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by Pledgor under Section 4.4 hereof.

(d) Collection Rights. Pledgee shall have the right at any time, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, to notify any or all obligors (including any and all Subsidiaries) under any accounts or general intangibles included among the Collateral of the assignment thereof to Pledgee and to direct such obligors to make payment of all amounts due or to become due to Pledgor thereunder directly to Pledgee and, upon such notification and at the expense of Pledgor and to the extent permitted by law, to enforce collection thereof and to adjust, settle or compromise the amount or payment thereof, in the same manner and to the same extent as Pledgor could have done. After Pledgor receives notice that Pledgee has given any notice referred to above in this subsection, (i) all amounts and proceeds (including instruments and writings) received by Pledgor in respect of such accounts or general intangibles shall be received in trust for the benefit of Pledgee hereunder, shall be segregated from other funds of Pledgor and shall be forthwith paid over to Pledgee in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement) to be held as cash collateral and (A) released to Pledgor upon the remedy of all Events of Default, or (B) if any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, applied as specified in Section 4.3 hereof; and (ii) Pledgor will not adjust, settle or compromise the amount or payment of any such account or general intangible or release wholly or partly any account debtor or obligor thereof or allow any credit or discount thereon.

(b) require Pledgor to, and Pledgor hereby agrees that it will upon request of Pledgee forthwith, assemble all or part of the Collateral as directed by Pledgee and make it available to Pledgee at a place to be designated by Pledgee which is reasonably convenient to both parties;

(c) reduce its claim to judgment against Pledgor or foreclose or otherwise enforce, in whole or in part, the security interest created hereby by any available judicial procedure;

(d) dispose of, at its office, on the premises of Pledgor or elsewhere, all or any part of the Collateral, as a unit or in parcels, by public or private proceedings, and by way of one or more contracts (it being agreed that the sale of any part of the Collateral shall not exhaust Pledgee’s power of sale, but sales may be made from time to time, and at any time, until all of the Collateral has been sold or until the Obligations have been paid and performed in full), and at any such sale it shall not be necessary to exhibit any of the Collateral;

(e) buy (or allow any Lender to buy) the Collateral, or any part thereof, at any public sale;

(f) buy (or allow any Lender to buy) the Collateral, or any part thereof, at any private sale if the Collateral is of a type customarily sold in a recognized market or is of a type which is the subject of widely distributed standard price quotations; and

(g) apply by appropriate judicial proceedings for appointment of a receiver for the Collateral, or any part thereof, and Pledgor hereby consents to any such appointment.

Pledgor agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law, at least ten (10) days’ notice to Pledgor of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification. Pledgee shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. Pledgee may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned.

Section 4.3. Application of Proceeds. If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Pledgee may in its discretion apply any cash held by Pledgee as Collateral, and any cash proceeds received by Pledgee in respect of any sale of, collection from, or other realization upon all or any part of the Collateral, in the order and manner contemplated by Article IV of the Credit Agreement.

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

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

extent owed, in whole or in part, under any claim or theory of strict liability or are, to any extent caused, in whole or in part, by any negligent (but not grossly negligent or willful as found in a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction) act or omission of any kind by Pledgee or any Lender.

(b) Pledgor will, and will cause each Borrower to, upon demand pay to Pledgee the amount of any and all costs and expenses, including the reasonable fees and disbursements of Pledgee’s counsel and of any experts and agents, which Pledgee may incur in connection with (i) the transactions which give rise to this Agreement; (ii) the preparation of this Agreement and the perfection and preservation of the security interest created under this Agreement; (iii) the administration of this Agreement; (iv) the custody, preservation, use or operation of, or the sale of, collection from, or other realization upon, any Collateral; (v) the exercise or enforcement of any of the rights of Pledgee hereunder; or (vi) the failure by Pledgor to perform or observe any of the provisions hereof, except expenses resulting from Pledgee’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

Section 4.5. Non-Judicial Remedies. In granting to Pledgee the power to enforce its rights hereunder without prior judicial process or judicial hearing, Pledgor expressly waives, renounces and knowingly relinquishes any legal right which might otherwise require Pledgee to enforce its rights by judicial process. In so providing for non-judicial remedies, Pledgor recognizes and concedes that such remedies are consistent with the usage of trade, are responsive to commercial necessity, and are the result of a bargain at arm’s length. Nothing herein is intended to prevent Pledgee or Pledgor from resorting to judicial process at either party’s option.

Section 4.6. Other Recourse. Pledgor waives any right to require Pledgee or Lenders to proceed against any other Person, exhaust any Collateral or other security for the Obligations, or to have any Other Liable Party joined with Pledgor in any suit arising out of the Obligations or this Agreement, or pursue any other remedy in Pledgee’s power. Pledgor further waives any and all notice of acceptance of this Agreement and of the creation, modification, rearrangement, renewal or extension for any period of any of the Obligations from time to time. Pledgor further waives any defense arising by reason of any disability or other defense of any Other Liable Party or by reason of the cessation from any cause whatsoever of the liability of any Other Liable Party. Until all of the Obligations shall have been paid in full, Pledgor shall have no right to subrogation and Pledgor waives the right to enforce any remedy which Pledgee or any Lender has or may hereafter have against any Other Liable Party, and waives any benefit of and any right to participate in any other security whatsoever now or hereafter held by Pledgee. Pledgor authorizes Pledgee and each Lender, without notice or demand and without any reservation of rights against Pledgor and without affecting Pledgor’s liability hereunder or on the Obligations, from time to time to (a) take or hold any other property of any type from any other Person as security for the Obligations, and exchange, enforce, waive and release any or all of such other property; (b) renew, extend for any period, accelerate, modify, compromise, settle or release any of the obligations of any Other Liable Party in respect to any or all of the Obligations or other security for the Obligations; (c) waive, enforce, modify, amend or supplement any of the provisions of any Obligation Document with any Person other than Pledgor; and (d) release or substitute any Other Liable Party.

Section 4.7. Voting Rights, Dividends Etc. in Respect of Pledged Equity.

(a) So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing Pledgor may receive and retain any and all dividends, distributions or interest paid in respect of the Pledged Equity; provided, however, that any and all dividends, distributions and interest paid or payable other than in cash in respect of, and instruments and other property received, receivable or otherwise distributed in respect of or in exchange for, any Pledged Equity, shall be, and shall forthwith be delivered to Pledgee to hold as, Pledged Equity and shall, if received by Pledgor, be received in trust for the benefit of Pledgee, be segregated from the other property or funds of Pledgor, and be forthwith delivered to Pledgee in the exact form received with any necessary endorsement or appropriate stock powers duly executed in blank, to be held by Pledgee as Collateral.

(b) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing:

(i) all rights of Pledgor to receive and retain the dividends, distributions and interest payments which Pledgor would otherwise be authorized to receive and retain pursuant to subsection (a) of this Section 4.7 shall automatically cease, and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in Pledgee which shall thereupon have the right to receive and hold as Pledged Equity such dividends, distributions and interest payments;

(ii) without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Pledgee may at its option exercise any and all rights of conversion, exchange, subscription or any other rights, privileges or options pertaining to any of the Pledged Equity (except voting rights) as if it were the absolute owner thereof, including the right to exchange, in its discretion, any and all of the Pledged Equity upon the merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or other adjustment of Pledgor or any Subsidiary, or upon the exercise by Pledgor or any Subsidiary of any right, privilege or option pertaining to any Pledged Equity, and, in connection therewith, to deposit and deliver any and all of the Pledged Equity with any committee, depository, transfer agent, registrar or other designated agent upon such terms and conditions as it may determine; and

(iii) all dividends and interest payments which are received by Pledgor contrary to the provisions of subsection (b) (i) of this Section 4.7 shall be received in trust for the benefit of Pledgee, shall be segregated from other funds of Pledgor, and shall be forthwith paid over to Pledgee as Pledged Equity in the exact form received, to be held by Pledgee as Collateral.

Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, Pledgee may not exercise any voting rights pertaining to the Pledged Equity, and Pledgor may at all times exercise any and all voting rights pertaining to the Pledged Equity or any part thereof for any purpose not inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement or any other Obligation Document; provided, however, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Pledgor will not exercise or refrain from exercising any such right, as the case may be, if Pledgee gives notice that, in Pledgee’s judgment, such action would cause a Material Adverse Effect with respect to the value of the Pledged Equity or the benefits to Pledgee of its security interest hereunder.

Exhibit F-11

CREDIT AGREEMENT

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

Section 4.9. Limitation on Rights and Waivers. All rights, powers and remedies herein conferred shall be exercisable by Pledgee only to the extent not prohibited by applicable law; and all waivers and relinquishments of rights and similar matters shall only be effective to the extent such waivers or relinquishments are not prohibited by applicable law.

Section 5.3. Preservation of Rights. No failure on the part of Pledgee or any Lender to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right hereunder or under any other Obligation Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. Neither the execution nor the delivery of this Agreement shall in any manner impair or affect any other security for the Obligations. The rights and remedies of Pledgee and Lenders provided herein and in the other Obligation Documents are cumulative of and are in addition to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies provided by law. The rights of Pledgee and Lenders under any Obligation Document against any party thereto are not conditional or contingent on any attempt by Pledgee or Lenders to exercise any of its or their rights under any other Obligation Document against such party or against any other Person.

Section 5.4. Unenforceability. Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity without invalidating the remaining portions hereof or thereof or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.

Section 5.5. Survival of Agreements. All representations and warranties of Pledgor herein, and all covenants and agreements herein shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the execution and delivery of any other Obligation Documents and the creation of the Obligations.

Section 5.6. Other Liable Party. Neither this Agreement nor the exercise by Pledgee or any Lender or the failure of Pledgee or any Lender to exercise any right, power or remedy conferred herein or by law shall be construed as relieving any Other Liable Party from liability on the Obligations or any deficiency thereon. This Agreement shall continue irrespective of the fact that the liability of any Other Liable Party may have ceased or irrespective of the validity or enforceability of any other Obligation Document to which Pledgor or any Other Liable Party may be a party, and notwithstanding the reorganization, death, incapacity or bankruptcy of any Other Liable Party, and notwithstanding the reorganization or bankruptcy or other event or proceeding affecting any Other Liable Party.

Section 5.7. Binding Effect and Assignment. This Agreement creates a continuing security interest in the Collateral and (a) shall be binding on Pledgor and its successors and permitted assigns, and (b) shall inure, together with all rights and remedies of Pledgee hereunder, to the benefit of Pledgee, Lenders, Secured Swap Providers and their respective successors, transferees and assigns. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Pledgee, Lenders and Secured Swap Providers may pledge, assign or otherwise transfer any or all of their respective rights under any or all of the Obligation Documents to any other Person on the terms set forth in the Credit Agreement, and such other Person shall thereupon become vested with all of the benefits in respect thereof granted herein or otherwise. None of the rights or duties of Pledgor hereunder may be assigned or otherwise transferred without the prior written consent of Pledgee and Required Lenders (or all Lenders if required pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement).

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

ARTICLE III

Representations, Warranties and Covenants

Section 3.1. Representations and Warranties. Pledgor represents and warrants as follows:

(a) Ownership and Liens. Pledgor has good and marketable title to the Collateral free and clear of all Liens, encumbrances or adverse claims, except for the security interest created by this Agreement and except as provided in Section 3.1(d)(iv). No effective financing statement or other instrument similar in effect covering all or any part of the Collateral is on file in any recording office except such as have been filed in favor of Pledgee relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.

(b) No Conflicts or Consents. Neither the ownership or the intended use of the Collateral by Pledgor, nor the grant of the security interest by Pledgor to Pledgee herein, nor the exercise by Pledgee of its rights or remedies hereunder, will (i) conflict with any provision of (a) any domestic or foreign law, statute, rule or regulation, (b) the articles of organization, certificate of formation, certificate of incorporation, articles of incorporation, charter, bylaws, limited liability company agreement or other organizational document of any Subsidiary, or (c) any agreement, judgment, license, order or permit applicable to or binding upon Pledgor or any Subsidiary; or (ii) result in or require the creation of any Lien, charge or encumbrance upon any assets or properties of Pledgor except as expressly contemplated in the Obligation Documents. Except as expressly contemplated in the Obligation Documents, no consent, approval, authorization or order of, and no notice to or filing with, any court, Governmental Authority, Subsidiary, or third party is required in connection with the grant by Pledgor of the security interest herein, or, except as may be required under the Code, the exercise by Pledgee of its rights and remedies hereunder.

(c) Security Interest. Pledgor has and will have at all times full right, power and authority to grant a security interest in the Collateral to Pledgee in the manner provided herein, free and clear of any Lien, adverse claim, or encumbrance (except as provided in Section 3.1(d)(iv)). This Agreement creates a valid and binding security interest in favor of Pledgee in the Collateral securing the Obligations. The taking possession by Pledgee (for the ratable benefit of Lenders) of all certificates, instruments and cash constituting Collateral from time to time, together with appropriate stock powers, and the filing of the financing statements delivered concurrently herewith by Pledgor to Pledgee will perfect, and establish the priority required by Section 3.1(d)(iv) of, Pledgee’s security interest hereunder in the Collateral securing

Exhibit G-4

CHAPARRAL ENERGY, L.L.C.

CREDIT AGREEMENT

the Obligations. No further or subsequent filing, recording, registration, other public notice or other action is necessary or desirable to perfect or otherwise continue, preserve or protect such security interest except for continuation statements or filings as contemplated in Section 3.3(b) or otherwise by the Code.

(d) Pledged Equity. (i) Pledgor is the legal and beneficial owner of the Pledged Equity; (ii) the Pledged Equity is duly authorized and issued, fully paid and non-assessable (as applicable), and all documentary, stamp or other Taxes or fees owing in connection with the issuance, transfer and/or pledge thereof hereunder have been paid; (iii) no dispute, right of setoff, counterclaim or defense exists with respect to all or any part of the Pledged Equity; (iv) the Pledged Equity is free and clear of all Liens, options, warrants, puts, calls or other rights of third Persons, and restrictions, other than (A) those Liens arising under this Agreement or any other of the Loan Documents, (B) Liens for Taxes or assessments not yet due or not yet delinquent, or, if delinquent, that are being contested in good faith in the normal course of business by appropriate action, as required by Section 8.04 of the Credit Agreement, and (C) restrictions on transferability imposed by applicable state and federal securities laws; (v) Pledgor has full right and authority to pledge the Pledged Equity for the purposes and upon the terms set out herein; (vi) certificates (as applicable) representing the Pledged Equity have been delivered to Pledgee, together with a duly executed blank stock power for each certificate; and (vii) no Subsidiary has issued, and there are not outstanding, any options, warrants or other rights to acquire Equity of any Subsidiary.

Section 3.2. Affirmative Covenants. Unless Pledgee shall otherwise consent in writing, Pledgor will at all times comply with the covenants contained in this Section 3.2 from the date hereof and so long as any part of the Obligations or Commitments is outstanding.

(a) Ownership and Liens. Pledgor will maintain good and marketable title to all Collateral free and clear of all Liens, encumbrances or adverse claims, except for (i) the security interest created by this Agreement, (ii) those provided in Section 3.1(d)(iv), and (iii) the security interests and other encumbrances expressly permitted by the Credit Agreement. Pledgor will cause to be terminated any financing statement or other registration with respect to the Collateral, except such as may exist or as may have been filed in favor of Pledgee. Pledgor will defend Pledgee’s security interest in and to the Collateral against the claims of any Person.

(b) Further Assurances. Pledgor will at any time and from time to time promptly execute and deliver all further instruments and documents and take all further action that may be necessary or desirable or that Pledgee may request in order (i) to perfect and protect the security interest created or purported to be created hereby and the priority required by Section 3.1(d)(iv) of such security interest; (ii) to enable Pledgee to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder in respect of the Collateral; or (iii) to otherwise effect the purposes of this Agreement, including: (A) executing and filing such financing or continuation statements, or amendments thereto, as may be necessary or desirable or that Pledgee may request in order to perfect and preserve the security interest created or purported to be created hereby, and (B) furnishing to Pledgee from time to time statements and schedules further identifying and describing the Collateral and such other reports in connection with the Collateral as Pledgee may reasonably request, all in reasonable detail. Upon the creation or acquisition by Pledgor of any Subsidiary, Pledgor and such Subsidiary shall execute an acknowledgement to this Agreement substantially

CREDIT AGREEMENT

in the form of Exhibit A hereto promptly following the acquisition or creation by Pledgor of such Subsidiary, which confirms that the Equity of such Subsidiary shall be included within the definition of Pledged Equity hereunder.

(c) Delivery of Pledged Equity. All certificates, instruments and writings evidencing the Pledged Equity shall be delivered to Pledgee on or prior to the execution and delivery of this Agreement. All other certificates, instruments and writings hereafter evidencing or constituting Pledged Equity shall be delivered to Pledgee promptly upon the receipt thereof by or on behalf of Pledgor. All Pledged Equity shall be held by or on behalf of Pledgee pursuant hereto and shall be delivered in the same manner and with the same effect as described in Section 2.1 hereof and Section 3.1 hereof. Upon delivery, such Equity shall thereupon constitute “Pledged Equity” and shall be subject to the Liens herein created, for the purposes and upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

(d) Proceeds of Pledged Equity. If Pledgor shall receive, by virtue of its being or having been an owner of any Pledged Equity, any (i) Equity (including any certificate representing any Equity or distribution in connection with any increase or reduction of capital, reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation, sale of assets, or spinoff or split-off), promissory note or other instrument or writing; (ii) option or right, whether as an addition to, substitution for, or in exchange for, any Pledged Equity or otherwise; (iii) dividends or other distributions payable in cash (except such dividends or other distributions permitted to be retained by Pledgor pursuant to Section 4.7 hereof) or in securities or other property; or (iv) dividends or other distributions in connection with (A) a partial or total liquidation or dissolution or (B) a reduction of capital, capital surplus or paid-in surplus, Pledgor shall receive the same in trust for the benefit of Pledgee, shall segregate it from Pledgor’s other property, and shall promptly deliver it to Pledgee in the exact form received, with any necessary endorsement or appropriate stock powers duly executed in blank, to be held by Pledgee as Collateral.

(e) Status of Pledged Equity. The certificates evidencing the Pledged Equity (as applicable) shall at all times be valid and genuine and shall not be altered. The Pledged Equity at all times shall be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid, and non-assessable (as applicable), shall not be issued in violation of the pre-emptive rights of any Person or of any agreement by which Pledgor or any Subsidiary is bound, and, except for the bylaws or other organizational documents of any Subsidiary, shall not be subject to any restrictions or conditions with respect to the transfer, voting or capital of any Pledged Equity.

Section 3.3. Negative Covenants. Unless Pledgee shall otherwise consent in writing, Pledgor will at all times comply with the covenants contained in this Section 3.3 from the date hereof and so long as any part of the Obligations or the Commitments is outstanding.

(a) Transfer or Encumbrance. Pledgor will not sell, assign (by operation of law or otherwise), transfer, exchange, lease or otherwise dispose of any of the Collateral, nor will Pledgor xxxxx x Xxxx upon or execute, file or record any financing statement or other registration with respect to the Collateral (other than the security interests created by this Agreement), nor will Pledgor allow any such Lien, financing statement, or other registration to exist or deliver actual or constructive possession of the Collateral to any other Person other than Liens in favor of Pledgee and those provided in Section 3.1(d)(iv). Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as

Exhibit G-6

CHAPARRAL ENERGY, L.L.C.

CREDIT AGREEMENT

no Default or Event of Default exists, Pledgor may transfer, exchange or otherwise dispose of Pledged Equity in connection with a merger or consolidation permitted by Section 9.11 of the Credit Agreement. Upon any such merger or consolidation, Pledgee will, upon Pledgor’s request and at Pledgor’s expense, promptly (a) release its security interest in the Collateral that is being transferred, exchanged or disposed of in connection with such merger or consolidation, (b) return to Pledgor such of the Collateral that is being transferred, exchanged or disposed of in connection with such merger or consolidation, and (c) execute and deliver to Pledgor such documents as Pledgor may reasonably request to evidence Pledgee’s release of its security interest in such Collateral.

(b) Financing Statement Filings. Pledgor recognizes that financing statements pertaining to the Collateral have been or may be filed in the jurisdiction of Pledgor’s organization, where Pledgor maintains any Collateral, has its records concerning any Collateral, has its chief executive office or chief place of business, or has its principal place of residence. Without limitation of any other covenant herein, Pledgor will not cause or permit any change to be made in its name, identity, corporate structure or jurisdiction of organization, or any change to be made to a jurisdiction other than as represented in the Credit Agreement in (i) the location of any records concerning any Collateral, or (ii) the location of its chief executive office, chief place of business or principal place of residence, unless Pledgor shall have notified Pledgee of such change at least fifteen (15) days prior to the effective date of such change, and shall have first taken all action reasonably required by Pledgee for the purpose of further perfecting or protecting the security interest in favor of Pledgee in the Collateral. In any notice furnished pursuant to this subsection, Pledgor will expressly state that the notice is required by this Agreement and contains facts that may require additional filings of financing statements or other notices for the purposes of continuing perfection of Pledgee’s security interest in the Collateral.

(c) Impairment of Security Interest. Pledgor will not take or fail to take any action which would in any manner impair the enforceability of Pledgee’s security interest in any Collateral.

(d) Restrictions on Pledged Equity. Except for the bylaws, limited liability company agreement, regulations, partnership agreement or other charter or organizational documents of Subsidiaries, Pledgor will not enter into any agreement creating, or otherwise permit to exist, any restriction or condition upon the transfer, voting or control of any Pledged Equity.

CREDIT AGREEMENT

continuing, in Pledgee’s discretion, to take any action (except for the exercise of any voting rights pertaining to the Pledged Equity or any part thereof) and to execute any instrument, certificate or notice which Pledgee may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement including: (i) to request or instruct Pledgor or any Subsidiary (and each registrar, transfer agent, or similar Person acting on behalf of Pledgor or any Subsidiary) to register the Pledged Equity or transfer the Collateral to Pledgee; (ii) to otherwise give notification to Pledgor, any Subsidiary, registrar, transfer agent, financial intermediary, or other Person of Pledgee’s security interests hereunder; (iii) to ask, demand, collect, xxx for, recover, compound, receive and give acquittance and receipts for moneys due and to become due under or in respect of any of the Collateral; (iv) to receive, indorse and collect any drafts or other instruments, documents and chattel paper; and (v) to file any claims or take any action or institute any proceedings which Pledgee may deem necessary or desirable for the collection of any of the Collateral or otherwise to enforce the rights of Pledgee with respect to any of the Collateral.

(c) Performance by Pledgee. If Pledgor fails to perform any agreement or obligation contained herein, Pledgee may itself perform, or cause performance of, such agreement or obligation, and the expenses of Pledgee incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by Pledgor under Section 4.4 hereof.

(d) Collection Rights. Pledgee shall have the right at any time, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, to notify any or all obligors (including any and all Subsidiaries) under any accounts or general intangibles included among the Collateral of the assignment thereof to Pledgee and to direct such obligors to make payment of all amounts due or to become due to Pledgor thereunder directly to Pledgee and, upon such notification and at the expense of Pledgor and to the extent permitted by law, to enforce collection thereof and to adjust, settle or compromise the amount or payment thereof, in the same manner and to the same extent as Pledgor could have done. After Pledgor receives notice that Pledgee has given any notice referred to above in this subsection, (i) all amounts and proceeds (including instruments and writings) received by Pledgor in respect of such accounts or general intangibles shall be received in trust for the benefit of Pledgee hereunder, shall be segregated from other funds of Pledgor and shall be forthwith paid over to Pledgee in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement) to be held as cash collateral and (A) released to Pledgor upon the remedy of all Events of Default, or (B) if any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, applied as specified in Section 4.3 hereof; and (ii) Pledgor will not adjust, settle or compromise the amount or payment of any such account or general intangible or release wholly or partly any account debtor or obligor thereof or allow any credit or discount thereon.

Section 4.2. Event of Default Remedies. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Pledgee may from time to time in its discretion, without limitation and without notice except as expressly provided below:

(a) exercise in respect of the Collateral, in addition to other rights and remedies provided for herein, under the other Obligation Documents or otherwise available to it, all the rights and remedies of a secured party on default under the Code (whether or not the Code applies to the affected Collateral);

Exhibit G-8

CHAPARRAL ENERGY, L.L.C.

CREDIT AGREEMENT

(b) require Pledgor to, and Pledgor hereby agrees that it will upon request of Pledgee forthwith, assemble all or part of the Collateral as directed by Pledgee and make it available to Pledgee at a place to be designated by Pledgee which is reasonably convenient to both parties;

(c) reduce its claim to judgment against Pledgor or foreclose or otherwise enforce, in whole or in part, the security interest created hereby by any available judicial procedure;

(d) dispose of, at its office, on the premises of Pledgor or elsewhere, all or any part of the Collateral, as a unit or in parcels, by public or private proceedings, and by way of one or more contracts (it being agreed that the sale of any part of the Collateral shall not exhaust Pledgee’s power of sale, but sales may be made from time to time, and at any time, until all of the Collateral has been sold or until the Obligations have been paid and performed in full), and at any such sale it shall not be necessary to exhibit any of the Collateral;

(e) buy (or allow any Lender to buy) the Collateral, or any part thereof, at any public sale;

(f) buy (or allow any Lender to buy) the Collateral, or any part thereof, at any private sale if the Collateral is of a type customarily sold in a recognized market or is of a type which is the subject of widely distributed standard price quotations; and

(g) apply by appropriate judicial proceedings for appointment of a receiver for the Collateral, or any part thereof, and Pledgor hereby consents to any such appointment.

Pledgor agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law, at least ten (10) days’ notice to Pledgor of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification. Pledgee shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. Pledgee may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned.

Section 4.3. Application of Proceeds. If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Pledgee may in its discretion apply any cash held by Pledgee as Collateral, and any cash proceeds received by Pledgee in respect of any sale of, collection from, or other realization upon all or any part of the Collateral, in the order and manner contemplated by Article IV of the Credit Agreement.

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

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

Exhibit G-9

CHAPARRAL ENERGY, L.L.C.

CREDIT AGREEMENT

extent owed, in whole or in part, under any claim or theory of strict liability or are, to any extent caused, in whole or in part, by any negligent (but not grossly negligent or willful as found in a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction) act or omission of any kind by Pledgee or any Lender.

(b) Pledgor will, and will cause each other Borrower to, upon demand pay to Pledgee the amount of any and all costs and expenses, including the reasonable fees and disbursements of Pledgee’s counsel and of any experts and agents, which Pledgee may incur in connection with (i) the transactions which give rise to this Agreement; (ii) the preparation of this Agreement and the perfection and preservation of the security interest created under this Agreement; (iii) the administration of this Agreement; (iv) the custody, preservation, use or operation of, or the sale of, collection from, or other realization upon, any Collateral; (v) the exercise or enforcement of any of the rights of Pledgee hereunder; or (vi) the failure by Pledgor to perform or observe any of the provisions hereof, except expenses resulting from Pledgee’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

Section 4.5. Non-Judicial Remedies. In granting to Pledgee the power to enforce its rights hereunder without prior judicial process or judicial hearing, Pledgor expressly waives, renounces and knowingly relinquishes any legal right which might otherwise require Pledgee to enforce its rights by judicial process. In so providing for non-judicial remedies, Pledgor recognizes and concedes that such remedies are consistent with the usage of trade, are responsive to commercial necessity, and are the result of a bargain at arm’s length. Nothing herein is intended to prevent Pledgee or Pledgor from resorting to judicial process at either party’s option.

Section 4.6. Other Recourse. Pledgor waives any right to require Pledgee or Lenders to proceed against any other Person, exhaust any Collateral or other security for the Obligations, or to have any Other Liable Party joined with Pledgor in any suit arising out of the Obligations or this Agreement, or pursue any other remedy in Pledgee’s power. Pledgor further waives any and all notice of acceptance of this Agreement and of the creation, modification, rearrangement, renewal or extension for any period of any of the Obligations from time to time. Pledgor further waives any defense arising by reason of any disability or other defense of any Other Liable Party or by reason of the cessation from any cause whatsoever of the liability of any Other Liable Party. Until all of the Obligations shall have been paid in full, Pledgor shall have no right to subrogation and Pledgor waives the right to enforce any remedy which Pledgee or any Lender has or may hereafter have against any Other Liable Party, and waives any benefit of and any right to participate in any other security whatsoever now or hereafter held by Pledgee. Pledgor authorizes Pledgee and each Lender, without notice or demand and without any reservation of rights against Pledgor and without affecting Pledgor’s liability hereunder or on the Obligations, from time to time to (a) take or hold any other property of any type from any other Person as security for the Obligations, and exchange, enforce, waive and release any or all of such other property; (b) renew, extend for any period, accelerate, modify, compromise, settle or release any of the obligations of any Other Liable Party in respect to any or all of the Obligations or other security for the Obligations; (c) waive, enforce, modify, amend or supplement any of the provisions of any Obligation Document with any Person other than Pledgor; and (d) release or substitute any Other Liable Party.

CREDIT AGREEMENT

Section 4.7. Voting Rights, Dividends Etc. in Respect of Pledged Equity.

(a) So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing Pledgor may receive and retain any and all dividends, distributions or interest paid in respect of the Pledged Equity; provided, however, that any and all dividends, distributions and interest paid or payable other than in cash in respect of, and instruments and other property received, receivable or otherwise distributed in respect of or in exchange for, any Pledged Equity, shall be, and shall forthwith be delivered to Pledgee to hold as, Pledged Equity and shall, if received by Pledgor, be received in trust for the benefit of Pledgee, be segregated from the other property or funds of Pledgor, and be forthwith delivered to Pledgee in the exact form received with any necessary endorsement or appropriate stock powers duly executed in blank, to be held by Pledgee as Collateral.

(b) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing:

(i) all rights of Pledgor to receive and retain the dividends, distributions and interest payments which Pledgor would otherwise be authorized to receive and retain pursuant to subsection (a) of this Section 4.7 shall automatically cease, and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in Pledgee which shall thereupon have the right to receive and hold as Pledged Equity such dividends, distributions and interest payments;

(ii) without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Pledgee may at its option exercise any and all rights of conversion, exchange, subscription or any other rights, privileges or options pertaining to any of the Pledged Equity (except voting rights) as if it were the absolute owner thereof, including the right to exchange, in its discretion, any and all of the Pledged Equity upon the merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or other adjustment of Pledgor or any Subsidiary, or upon the exercise by Pledgor or any Subsidiary of any right, privilege or option pertaining to any Pledged Equity, and, in connection therewith, to deposit and deliver any and all of the Pledged Equity with any committee, depository, transfer agent, registrar or other designated agent upon such terms and conditions as it may determine; and

(iii) all dividends and interest payments which are received by Pledgor contrary to the provisions of subsection (b) (i) of this Section 4.7 shall be received in trust for the benefit of Pledgee, shall be segregated from other funds of Pledgor, and shall be forthwith paid over to Pledgee as Pledged Equity in the exact form received, to be held by Pledgee as Collateral.

Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, Pledgee may not exercise any voting rights pertaining to the Pledged Equity, and Pledgor may at all times exercise any and all voting rights pertaining to the Pledged Equity or any part thereof for any purpose not inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement or any other Obligation Document; provided, however, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Pledgor will not exercise or refrain from exercising any such right, as the case may be, if Pledgee gives notice that, in Pledgee’s judgment, such action would cause a Material Adverse Effect with respect to the value of the Pledged Equity or the benefits to Pledgee of its security interest hereunder.

Exhibit G-11

CHAPARRAL ENERGY, L.L.C.

CREDIT AGREEMENT

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

Section 4.9. Limitation on Rights and Waivers. All rights, powers and remedies herein conferred shall be exercisable by Pledgee only to the extent not prohibited by applicable law; and all waivers and relinquishments of rights and similar matters shall only be effective to the extent such waivers or relinquishments are not prohibited by applicable law.

Section 5.2. Amendments. No amendment of any provision of this Agreement shall be effective unless it is in writing and signed by Pledgor, each other Borrower, Pledgee and Required Lenders (or all Lenders if required pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement), and no waiver of any provision of this Agreement, and no consent to any departure by Pledgor therefrom, shall be effective unless it is in writing and signed by Pledgee and Required Lenders (or all Lenders if required pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement), and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given and to the extent specified in such writing.

Section 5.3. Preservation of Rights. No failure on the part of Pledgee or any Lender to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right hereunder or under any other Obligation Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. Neither the execution nor the delivery of this Agreement shall in any manner impair or affect any other security for the Obligations. The rights and remedies of Pledgee and Lenders provided herein and in the other Obligation Documents are cumulative of and are in addition to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies provided by law. The rights of Pledgee and Lenders under any Obligation Document against any party thereto are not conditional or contingent on any attempt by Pledgee or Lenders to exercise any of its or their rights under any other Obligation Document against such party or against any other Person.

Section 5.4. Unenforceability. Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity without invalidating the remaining portions hereof or thereof or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.

Section 5.5. Survival of Agreements. All representations and warranties of Pledgor herein, and all covenants and agreements herein shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the execution and delivery of any other Obligation Documents and the creation of the Obligations.

CREDIT AGREEMENT

Section 5.6. Other Liable Party. Neither this Agreement nor the exercise by Pledgee or any Lender or the failure of Pledgee or any Lender to exercise any right, power or remedy conferred herein or by law shall be construed as relieving any Other Liable Party from liability on the Obligations or any deficiency thereon. This Agreement shall continue irrespective of the fact that the liability of any Other Liable Party may have ceased or irrespective of the validity or enforceability of any other Obligation Document to which Pledgor or any Other Liable Party may be a party, and notwithstanding the reorganization, death, incapacity or bankruptcy of any Other Liable Party, and notwithstanding the reorganization or bankruptcy or other event or proceeding affecting any Other Liable Party.

Section 5.7. Binding Effect and Assignment. This Agreement creates a continuing security interest in the Collateral and (a) shall be binding on Pledgor and its successors and permitted assigns, and (b) shall inure, together with all rights and remedies of Pledgee hereunder, to the benefit of Pledgee, Lenders, Secured Swap Providers and their respective successors, transferees and assigns. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Pledgee, Lenders and Secured Swap Providers may pledge, assign or otherwise transfer any or all of their respective rights under any or all of the Obligation Documents to any other Person on the terms set forth in the Credit Agreement, and such other Person shall thereupon become vested with all of the benefits in respect thereof granted herein or otherwise. None of the rights or duties of Pledgor hereunder may be assigned or otherwise transferred without the prior written consent of Pledgee and Required Lenders (or all Lenders if required pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement).

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

Section 5.9. GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF TEXAS AND THE LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

Section 5.10. Counterparts. This Agreement may be separately executed in any number of counterparts, all of which when so executed shall be deemed to constitute one and the same Agreement.

ARTICLE III

Representations, Warranties and Covenants

Section 3.1. Representations and Warranties. Pledgor represents and warrants as follows:

(a) Ownership and Liens. Pledgor has good and marketable title to the Collateral free and clear of all Liens, encumbrances or adverse claims, except for the security interest created by this Agreement and except as provided in Section 3.1(d)(iv). No effective financing statement or other instrument similar in effect covering all or any part of the Collateral is on file in any recording office except such as have been filed in favor of Pledgee relating to this Agreement or the other Loan Papers.

(b) No Conflicts or Consents. Neither the ownership or the intended use of the Collateral by Pledgor, nor the grant of the security interest by Pledgor to Pledgee herein, nor the exercise by Pledgee of its rights or remedies hereunder, will (i) conflict with any provision of (a) any domestic or foreign law, statute, rule or regulation, (b) the articles of organization, certificate of formation, certificate of incorporation, articles of incorporation, charter, bylaws, limited liability company agreement or other organizational document of any Subsidiary, or (c) any agreement, judgment, license, order or permit applicable to or binding upon Pledgor or any Subsidiary; or (ii) result in or require the creation of any Lien, charge or encumbrance upon any assets or properties of Pledgor except as expressly contemplated in the Obligation Documents. Except as expressly contemplated in the Obligation Documents, no consent, approval, authorization or order of, and no notice to or filing with, any court, Governmental Authority, any Subsidiary, or third party is required in connection with the grant by Pledgor of the security interest herein, or, except as may be required under the Code, the exercise by Pledgee of its rights and remedies hereunder.

(c) Security Interest. Pledgor has and will have at all times full right, power and authority to grant a security interest in the Collateral to Pledgee in the manner provided herein, free and clear of any Lien, adverse claim, or encumbrance (except as provided in Section 3.1(d)(iv)). This Agreement creates a valid and binding security interest in favor of Pledgee in the Collateral securing the Obligations. The taking possession by Pledgee (for the ratable benefit of Lenders) of all certificates, instruments and cash constituting Collateral from time to time, together with appropriate stock powers, and the filing of the financing statements delivered concurrently herewith by Pledgor to Pledgee will perfect, and establish the priority required by Section 3.1(d)(iv) of, Pledgee’s security interest hereunder in the Collateral securing the Obligations. No further or subsequent filing, recording, registration, other public notice or other action is necessary or desirable to perfect or otherwise continue, preserve or protect such security interest except for continuation statements or filings as contemplated in Section 3.3(b) or otherwise by the Code.

The Pledged Equity at all times shall be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid, and non-assessable (as applicable), shall not be issued in violation of the pre-emptive rights of any Person or of any agreement by which Pledgor or any Subsidiary is bound, and, except for the bylaws or other organizational documents of any Subsidiary, shall not be subject to any restrictions or conditions with respect to the transfer, voting or capital of any Pledged Equity.

Section 3.3. Negative Covenants. Unless Pledgee shall otherwise consent in writing, Pledgor will at all times comply with the covenants contained in this Section 3.3 from the date hereof and so long as any part of the Obligations or the Commitments is outstanding.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, Pledgor may transfer, exchange or otherwise dispose of

Exhibit H-6

CHAPARRAL ENERGY, L.L.C.

CREDIT AGREEMENT

Pledged Equity in connection with a merger or consolidation permitted by Section 9.11 of the Credit Agreement. Upon any such merger or consolidation, Pledgee will, upon Pledgor’s request and at Pledgor’s expense, promptly (a) release its security interest in the Collateral that is being transferred, exchanged or disposed of in connection with such merger or consolidation, (b) return to Pledgor such of the Collateral that is being transferred, exchanged or disposed of in connection with such merger or consolidation, and (c) execute and deliver to Pledgor such documents as Pledgor may reasonably request to evidence Pledgee’s release of its security interest in such Collateral.

(b) Financing Statement Filings. Pledgor recognizes that financing statements pertaining to the Collateral have been or may be filed in the jurisdiction of Pledgor’s organization, where Pledgor maintains any Collateral, has its records concerning any Collateral, has its chief executive office or chief place of business, or has its principal place of residence. Without limitation of any other covenant herein, Pledgor will not cause or permit any change to be made in its name, identity, corporate structure or jurisdiction of organization, or any change to be made to a jurisdiction other than as represented in the Credit Agreement in (i) the location of any records concerning any Collateral, or (ii) the location of its chief executive office, chief place of business or principal place of residence, unless Pledgor shall have notified Pledgee of such change at least fifteen (15) days prior to the effective date of such change, and shall have first taken all action reasonably required by Pledgee for the purpose of further perfecting or protecting the security interest in favor of Pledgee in the Collateral. In any notice furnished pursuant to this subsection, Pledgor will expressly state that the notice is required by this Agreement and contains facts that may require additional filings of financing statements or other notices for the purposes of continuing perfection of Pledgee’s security interest in the Collateral.

(c) Impairment of Security Interest. Pledgor will not take or fail to take any action which would in any manner impair the enforceability of Pledgee’s security interest in any Collateral.

(d) Restrictions on Pledged Equity. Except for the bylaws, limited liability company agreement, regulations, partnership agreement or other charter or organizational documents of any Subsidiary, Pledgor will not enter into any agreement creating, or otherwise permit to exist, any restriction or condition upon the transfer, voting or control of any Pledged Equity.

ARTICLE IV

(a) Additional Financing Statement Filings. Pledgor hereby authorizes Pledgee to file, without the signature of Pledgor where permitted by law, one (1) or more financing or continuation statements, and amendments thereto, relating to the Collateral.

(b) Power of Attorney. Pledgor hereby irrevocably appoints Pledgee as Pledgor’s attorney-in-fact and proxy, with full authority in the place and stead of Pledgor and in the name of Pledgor or otherwise, from time to time if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, in Pledgee’s discretion, to take any action (except for the exercise of any voting

CREDIT AGREEMENT

rights pertaining to the Pledged Equity or any part thereof) and to execute any instrument, certificate or notice which Pledgee may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement including: (i) to request or instruct Pledgor or any Subsidiary (and each registrar, transfer agent, or similar Person acting on behalf of Pledgor or any Subsidiary) to register the Pledged Equity or transfer the Collateral to Pledgee; (ii) to otherwise give notification to Pledgor, any Subsidiary, registrar, transfer agent, financial intermediary, or other Person of Pledgee’s security interests hereunder; (iii) to ask, demand, collect, xxx for, recover, compound, receive and give acquittance and receipts for moneys due and to become due under or in respect of any of the Collateral; (iv) to receive, indorse and collect any drafts or other instruments, documents and chattel paper; and (v) to file any claims or take any action or institute any proceedings which Pledgee may deem necessary or desirable for the collection of any of the Collateral or otherwise to enforce the rights of Pledgee with respect to any of the Collateral.

(c) Performance by Pledgee. If Pledgor fails to perform any agreement or obligation contained herein, Pledgee may itself perform, or cause performance of, such agreement or obligation, and the expenses of Pledgee incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by Pledgor under Section 4.4 hereof.

(d) Collection Rights. Pledgee shall have the right at any time, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, to notify any or all obligors (including any and all Subsidiaries) under any accounts or general intangibles included among the Collateral of the assignment thereof to Pledgee and to direct such obligors to make payment of all amounts due or to become due to Pledgor thereunder directly to Pledgee and, upon such notification and at the expense of Pledgor or Borrowers and to the extent permitted by law, to enforce collection thereof and to adjust, settle or compromise the amount or payment thereof, in the same manner and to the same extent as Pledgor could have done. After Pledgor receives notice that Pledgee has given any notice referred to above in this subsection, (i) all amounts and proceeds (including instruments and writings) received by Pledgor in respect of such accounts or general intangibles shall be received in trust for the benefit of Pledgee hereunder, shall be segregated from other funds of Pledgor and shall be forthwith paid over to Pledgee in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement) to be held as cash collateral and (A) released to Pledgor upon the remedy of all Events of Default, or (B) if any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, applied as specified in Section 4.3 hereof; and (ii) Pledgor will not adjust, settle or compromise the amount or payment of any such account or general intangible or release wholly or partly any account debtor or obligor thereof (including any Borrower) or allow any credit or discount thereon.

Section 4.2. Event of Default Remedies. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Pledgee may from time to time in its discretion, without limitation and without notice except as expressly provided below:

(a) exercise in respect of the Collateral, in addition to other rights and remedies provided for herein, under the other Obligation Documents or otherwise available to it, all the rights and remedies of a secured party on default under the Code (whether or not the Code applies to the affected Collateral);

Exhibit H-8

CHAPARRAL ENERGY, L.L.C.

CREDIT AGREEMENT

(b) require Pledgor to, and Pledgor hereby agrees that it will upon request of Pledgee forthwith, assemble all or part of the Collateral as directed by Pledgee and make it available to Pledgee at a place to be designated by Pledgee which is reasonably convenient to both parties;

(c) reduce its claim to judgment against Pledgor or foreclose or otherwise enforce, in whole or in part, the security interest created hereby by any available judicial procedure;

(d) dispose of, at its office, on the premises of Pledgor or elsewhere, all or any part of the Collateral, as a unit or in parcels, by public or private proceedings, and by way of one or more contracts (it being agreed that the sale of any part of the Collateral shall not exhaust Pledgee’s power of sale, but sales may be made from time to time, and at any time, until all of the Collateral has been sold or until the Obligations have been paid and performed in full), and at any such sale it shall not be necessary to exhibit any of the Collateral;

(e) buy (or allow any Lender to buy) the Collateral, or any part thereof, at any public sale;

(f) buy (or allow any Lender to buy) the Collateral, or any part thereof, at any private sale if the Collateral is of a type customarily sold in a recognized market or is of a type which is the subject of widely distributed standard price quotations; and

(g) apply by appropriate judicial proceedings for appointment of a receiver for the Collateral, or any part thereof, and Pledgor hereby consents to any such appointment.

Pledgor agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law, at least ten (10) days’ notice to Pledgor of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification. Pledgee shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. Pledgee may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned.

Section 4.3. Application of Proceeds. If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Pledgee may in its discretion apply any cash held by Pledgee as Collateral, and any cash proceeds received by Pledgee in respect of any sale of, collection from, or other realization upon all or any part of the Collateral, in the order and manner contemplated by Article IV of the Credit Agreement.

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

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

Exhibit H-9

CHAPARRAL ENERGY, L.L.C.

CREDIT AGREEMENT

extent owed, in whole or in part, under any claim or theory of strict liability or are, to any extent caused, in whole or in part, by any negligent (but not grossly negligent or willful as found in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction) act or omission of any kind by Pledgee or any Lender.

(b) Pledgor will, and will cause each Borrower to, upon demand pay to Pledgee the amount of any and all costs and expenses, including the reasonable fees and disbursements of Pledgee’s counsel and of any experts and agents, which Pledgee may incur in connection with (i) the transactions which give rise to this Agreement; (ii) the preparation of this Agreement and the perfection and preservation of the security interest created under this Agreement; (iii) the administration of this Agreement; (iv) the custody, preservation, use or operation of, or the sale of, collection from, or other realization upon, any Collateral; (v) the exercise or enforcement of any of the rights of Pledgee hereunder; or (vi) the failure by Pledgor to perform or observe any of the provisions hereof, except expenses resulting from Pledgee’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

Section 4.5. Non-Judicial Remedies. In granting to Pledgee the power to enforce its rights hereunder without prior judicial process or judicial hearing, Pledgor expressly waives, renounces and knowingly relinquishes any legal right which might otherwise require Pledgee to enforce its rights by judicial process. In so providing for non-judicial remedies, Pledgor recognizes and concedes that such remedies are consistent with the usage of trade, are responsive to commercial necessity, and are the result of a bargain at arm’s length. Nothing herein is intended to prevent Pledgee or Pledgor from resorting to judicial process at either party’s option.

Section 4.6. Other Recourse. Pledgor waives any right to require Pledgee or Lenders to proceed against any other Person, exhaust any Collateral or other security for the Obligations, or to have any Other Liable Party joined with Pledgor in any suit arising out of the Obligations or this Agreement, or pursue any other remedy in Pledgee’s power. Pledgor further waives any and all notice of acceptance of this Agreement and of the creation, modification, rearrangement, renewal or extension for any period of any of the Obligations from time to time. Pledgor further waives any defense arising by reason of any disability or other defense of any Other Liable Party or by reason of the cessation from any cause whatsoever of the liability of any Other Liable Party. Until all of the Obligations shall have been paid in full, Pledgor shall have no right to subrogation and Pledgor waives the right to enforce any remedy which Pledgee or any Lender has or may hereafter have against any Other Liable Party, and waives any benefit of and any right to participate in any other security whatsoever now or hereafter held by Pledgee. Pledgor authorizes Pledgee and each Lender, without notice or demand and without any reservation of rights against Pledgor and without affecting Pledgor’s liability hereunder or on the Obligations, from time to time to (a) take or hold any other property of any type from any other Person as security for the Obligations, and exchange, enforce, waive and release any or all of such other property; (b) renew, extend for any period, accelerate, modify, compromise, settle or release any of the obligations of any Other Liable Party in respect to any or all of the Obligations or other security for the Obligations; (c) waive, enforce, modify, amend or supplement any of the provisions of any Obligation Document with any Person other than Pledgor; and (d) release or substitute any Other Liable Party.

Section 4.7. Voting Rights, Dividends Etc. in Respect of Pledged Equity.

(a) So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing Pledgor may receive and retain any and all dividends, distributions or interest paid in respect of the Pledged Equity; provided, however, that any and all dividends, distributions and interest paid or payable other than in cash in respect of, and instruments and other property received, receivable or otherwise distributed in respect of or in exchange for, any Pledged Equity, shall be, and shall forthwith be delivered to Pledgee to hold as, Pledged Equity and shall, if received by Pledgor, be received in trust for the benefit of Pledgee, be segregated from the other property or funds of Pledgor, and be forthwith delivered to Pledgee in the exact form received with any necessary endorsement or appropriate stock powers duly executed in blank, to be held by Pledgee as Collateral.

(b) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing:

(i) all rights of Pledgor to receive and retain the dividends, distributions and interest payments which Pledgor would otherwise be authorized to receive and retain pursuant to subsection (a) of this Section 4.7 shall automatically cease, and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in Pledgee which shall thereupon have the right to receive and hold as Pledged Equity such dividends, distributions and interest payments;

(ii) without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Pledgee may at its option exercise any and all rights of conversion, exchange, subscription or any other rights, privileges or options pertaining to any of the Pledged Equity (except voting rights) as if it were the absolute owner thereof, including the right to exchange, in its discretion, any and all of the Pledged Equity upon the merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or other adjustment of Pledgor or any Subsidiary, or upon the exercise by Pledgor or any Subsidiary of any right, privilege or option pertaining to any Pledged Equity, and, in connection therewith, to deposit and deliver any and all of the Pledged Equity with any committee, depository, transfer agent, registrar or other designated agent upon such terms and conditions as it may determine; and

(iii) all dividends and interest payments which are received by Pledgor contrary to the provisions of subsection (b) (i) of this Section 4.7 shall be received in trust for the benefit of Pledgee, shall be segregated from other funds of Pledgor, and shall be forthwith paid over to Pledgee as Pledged Equity in the exact form received, to be held by Pledgee as Collateral.

Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, Pledgee may not exercise any voting rights pertaining to the Pledged Equity, and Pledgor may at all times exercise any and all voting rights pertaining to the Pledged Equity or any part thereof for any purpose not inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement or any other Obligation Document; provided, however, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Pledgor will not exercise or refrain from exercising any such right, as the case may be, if Pledgee gives notice that, in Pledgee’s judgment, such action would cause a Material Adverse Effect with respect to the value of the Pledged Equity or the benefits to Pledgee of its security interest hereunder.

Section 4.8. Private Sale of Pledged Equity. Pledgor recognizes that Pledgee may deem it impracticable to effect a public sale of all or any part of the Pledged Equity and that

Exhibit H-11

CHAPARRAL ENERGY, L.L.C.

CREDIT AGREEMENT

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

Section 4.9. Limitation on Rights and Waivers. All rights, powers and remedies herein conferred shall be exercisable by Pledgee only to the extent not prohibited by applicable law; and all waivers and relinquishments of rights and similar matters shall only be effective to the extent such waivers or relinquishments are not prohibited by applicable law.

or to such other address or to the attention of such other individual as hereafter shall be designated in writing by the applicable party sent in accordance herewith. Any such notice or communication shall be deemed to have been given (a) in the case of personal delivery or delivery service, as of the date of first attempted delivery at the address or in the manner provided herein, (b) in the case of telecopy, upon receipt with confirmation (if sent before 4:00 p.m. local time of the receiving party on a Business Day) or the next Business Day (if sent after 4:00 p.m. of such local time or sent on a day that is not a Business Day), or (c) in the case of registered or certified United States mail, three (3) Business Days after deposit in the mail.

Section 5.2. Amendments. No amendment of any provision of this Agreement shall be effective unless it is in writing and signed by Pledgor, each Borrower, Pledgee and Required Lenders (or all Lenders if required pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement), and no waiver of any provision of this Agreement, and no consent to any departure by Pledgor therefrom, shall be effective unless it is in writing and signed by Pledgee and Required Lenders (or all Lenders if required pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement), and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given and to the extent specified in such writing.

Section 5.3. Preservation of Rights. No failure on the part of Pledgee or any Lender to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right hereunder or under any other Obligation Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. Neither the execution nor the delivery of this Agreement shall in any manner impair or affect any other security for the Obligations. The rights and remedies of Pledgee and Lenders provided herein and in the other Obligation Documents are cumulative of and are in addition to, and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies provided by law. The rights of Pledgee and Lenders under any Obligation Document against any party thereto are not conditional or contingent on any attempt by Pledgee or Lenders to exercise any of its or their rights under any other Obligation Document against such party or against any other Person.

Section 5.4. Unenforceability. Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity without invalidating the remaining portions hereof or thereof or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.

Section 5.6. Other Liable Party. Neither this Agreement nor the exercise by Pledgee or any Lender or the failure of Pledgee or any Lender to exercise any right, power or remedy conferred herein or by law shall be construed as relieving any Other Liable Party from liability on the Obligations or any deficiency thereon. This Agreement shall continue irrespective of the fact that the liability of any Other Liable Party may have ceased or irrespective of the validity or enforceability of any other Obligation Document to which Pledgor or any Other Liable Party may be a party, and notwithstanding the reorganization, death, incapacity or bankruptcy of any Other Liable Party, and notwithstanding the reorganization or bankruptcy or other event or proceeding affecting any Other Liable Party.

FORM OF GUARANTYAGREEMENT

THIS GUARANTY AGREEMENT (this “Guaranty”) is dated as of the      day of             ,             , by [Chaparral, L.L.C., an Oklahoma limited liability company] [Subsidiary, a             ] (“Guarantor”), in favor of JPMORGAN CHASE BANK, N.A., each of the other financial institutions from time to time party to the Credit Agreement (as hereinafter defined) as Lenders (as defined in the Credit Agreement), and, in the case of any Swap Agreement (as defined in the Credit Agreement), any Secured Swap Provider (as defined in the Credit Agreement) and each of their successors and assigns as permitted pursuant to the Credit Agreement (the Lenders, any Secured Swap Provider and each of their successors and assigns are collectively referred to herein as “Beneficiaries”).

W I T N E S S E T H:

WHEREAS, CHAPARRAL, L.L.C., an Oklahoma limited liability company, CHAPARRAL ENERGY, L.L.C., an Oklahoma limited liability company (as a Borrower and as Borrower Representative, “Chaparral”), NORAM PETROLEUM, L.L.C., an Oklahoma limited liability company (“NorAm”), CHAPARRAL RESOURCES, L.L.C., an Oklahoma limited liability company (“Resources”), TRIUMPH TOOLS & SUPPLY, L.L.C., an Oklahoma limited liability company (“Tools”), CHAPARRAL CO ₂, L.L.C., an Oklahoma limited liability company (“CO₂”), CHAPARRAL OIL, L.L.C., an Oklahoma limited liability company (“Oil”), CHAPARRAL REAL ESTATE, L.L.C., an Oklahoma limited liability company (“Real Estate”), and CHAPARRAL TEXAS, L.P., an Oklahoma limited partnership (“Chaparral Texas” and, together with Chaparral, NorAm, Resources, Tools, CO₂, Oil and Real Estate, collectively, “Borrowers” and each individually, a “Borrower”), Lenders, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent (“Administrative Agent”) and the other agents a party to the Credit Agreement are parties to that certain Sixth Restated Credit Agreement (as amended, the “Credit Agreement”) dated as of June 22, 2005, pursuant to which Lenders have made a revolving credit loan to Borrowers (unless otherwise defined herein, all terms used herein with their initial letter capitalized shall have the meaning given such terms in the Credit Agreement); and

WHEREAS, Lenders have required, as a condition to extending credit under the Credit Agreement, that Guarantor execute and deliver this Guaranty; and

WHEREAS, Guarantor has determined that valuable benefits will be derived by it as a result of the Credit Agreement and the extension of credit made (and to be made) by Lenders thereunder; and

WHEREAS, Guarantor has further determined that the benefits accruing to it from the Credit Agreement exceed Guarantor’s anticipated liability under this Guaranty.

NOW, THEREFORE, for valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged and confessed, Guarantor hereby covenants and agrees as follows:

Exhibit I-1

CHAPARRAL ENERGY, L.L.C.

CREDIT AGREEMENT

1. Guarantor hereby absolutely and unconditionally guarantees the prompt, complete and full payment when due, no matter how such shall become due, of the Indebtedness, and further guarantees that Borrowers will properly and timely perform the Indebtedness and other obligations and liabilities of Borrowers under the Credit Agreement, Notes and other Loan Documents. Notwithstanding any contrary provision in this Guaranty, however, Guarantor’s maximum liability under this Guaranty is limited, to the extent, if any, required so that its liability is not subject to avoidance under applicable Debtor Relief Laws (as such term is defined in Paragraph 8 hereof).

2. If Guarantor is or becomes liable for any indebtedness owing by Borrowers to any Beneficiary by endorsement or otherwise than under this Guaranty, such liability shall not be in any manner impaired or affected hereby, and the rights of Beneficiaries hereunder shall be cumulative of any and all other rights that Beneficiaries may ever have against Guarantor. The exercise by any Beneficiary of any right or remedy hereunder or under any other instrument, at law or in equity, shall not preclude the concurrent or subsequent exercise of any other right or remedy.

3. In the event of default by Borrowers in payment of the Indebtedness, or any part thereof, when such Indebtedness become due, either by its terms or as the result of the exercise of any power to accelerate, Guarantor shall, on demand, and without further notice of dishonor and without any notice having been given to Guarantor previous to such demand of the acceptance by Beneficiaries of this Guaranty, and without any notice having been given to such Guarantor previous to such demand of the creating or incurring of such Indebtedness, pay the amount due thereon to Beneficiaries at Administrative Agent’s office as set forth in the Credit Agreement, and it shall not be necessary for any Beneficiary, in order to enforce such payment by Guarantor, first, to institute suit or exhaust its remedies against Borrowers or others liable on such Indebtedness, to have Borrowers joined with Guarantor in any suit brought under this Guaranty or to enforce its rights against any security which shall ever have been given to secure such indebtedness; provided, however, that in the event any Beneficiary elects to enforce and/or exercise any remedies it may possess with respect to any security for the Indebtedness prior to demanding payment from Guarantor, Guarantor shall nevertheless be obligated hereunder for any and all sums still owing to Beneficiaries on the Indebtedness and not repaid or recovered incident to the exercise of such remedies.

4. Notice to Guarantor of the acceptance of this Guaranty and of the making, renewing or assignment of the Indebtedness and each item thereof, are hereby expressly waived by Guarantor.

5. Each payment on the Indebtedness shall be deemed to have been made by Borrowers unless express written notice is given to Lenders at the time of such payment that such payment is made by Guarantor as specified in such notice.

6. If all or any part of the Indebtedness at any time is secured, Guarantor agrees that Administrative Agent and/or Lenders may at any time and from time to time, at their discretion and with or without valuable consideration, allow substitution or withdrawal of collateral or other security and release collateral or other security or compromise or settle any amount due or owing under the Credit Agreement or amend or modify in whole or in part the Credit Agreement

Exhibit I-2

CHAPARRAL ENERGY, L.L.C.

CREDIT AGREEMENT

or any Loan Document executed in connection with same without impairing or diminishing the Indebtedness of Guarantor hereunder. Guarantor further agrees that if any Borrower executes in favor of any Beneficiary any collateral agreement, mortgage or other security instrument, the exercise by any Beneficiary of any right or remedy thereby conferred on such Beneficiary shall be wholly discretionary with such Beneficiary, and that the exercise or failure to exercise any such right or remedy shall in no way impair or diminish the obligation of Guarantor hereunder. Guarantor further agrees that Beneficiaries and Administrative Agent shall not be liable for their failure to use diligence in the collection of the Indebtedness or in preserving the liability of any person liable for the Indebtedness, and Guarantor hereby waives presentment for payment, notice of nonpayment, protest and notice thereof (including, notice of acceleration), and diligence in bringing suits against any Person liable on the Indebtedness, or any part thereof.

7. Guarantor agrees that Beneficiaries, in their discretion, may (i) bring suit against all guarantors (including, without limitation, Guarantor hereunder) of the Indebtedness jointly and severally or against any one or more of them, (ii) compound or settle with any one or more of such guarantors for such consideration as Beneficiaries may deem proper, and (iii) release one or more of such guarantors from liability hereunder, and that no such action shall impair the rights of Beneficiaries to collect the Indebtedness (or the unpaid balance thereof) from other such guarantors of the Indebtedness, or any of them, not so sued, settled with or released. Guarantor agrees, however, that nothing contained in this paragraph, and no action by Beneficiaries permitted under this paragraph, shall in any way affect or impair the rights or Indebtedness of such guarantors among themselves.

8. Guarantor represents and warrants to each Lender that (i) Guarantor is a corporation, limited liability company or partnership duly organized and validly existing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or formation; (ii) Guarantor possesses all requisite authority and power to authorize, execute, deliver and comply with the terms of this Guaranty; (iii) this Guaranty has been duly authorized and approved by all necessary action on the part of Guarantor and constitutes a valid and binding obligation of Guarantor enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as (a) the enforcement thereof may be limited by applicable Debtor Relief Laws, and (b) the availability of equitable remedies may be limited by equitable principles of general applicability; and (iv) no approval or consent of any court or governmental entity is required for the authorization, execution, delivery or compliance with this Guaranty which has not been obtained (and copies thereof delivered to Lenders). As used in this Guaranty, the term “Debtor Relief Laws” means the Bankruptcy Code of the United States of America and all other applicable liquidation, conservatorship, bankruptcy, moratorium, rearrangement, receivership, insolvency, reorganization, suspension of payments or similar debtor relief laws from time to time in effect affecting the rights of creditors generally.

9. Guarantor covenants and agrees that until the Indebtedness is paid and performed in full, except as otherwise provided in the Credit Agreement or unless Lenders give their prior written consent to any deviation therefrom, it will (i) at all times maintain its existence and authority to transact business in any state or jurisdiction where Guarantor has assets and operations, except where the failure to maintain such existence or authority would not have a Material Adverse Effect, (ii) promptly deliver to Lenders and to Administrative Agent such information respecting its business affairs, assets and liabilities as Lenders may reasonably request, and (iii) duly and punctually observe and perform all covenants applicable to Guarantor under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

Exhibit I-3

CHAPARRAL ENERGY, L.L.C.

CREDIT AGREEMENT

10. This Guaranty is for the benefit of Lenders, Secured Swap Providers, their successors and assigns, and in the event of an assignment by Lenders or Secured Swap Providers (or their successors or assigns) of the Indebtedness, or any part thereof, the rights and benefits hereunder, to the extent applicable to the Indebtedness so assigned, may be transferred with such Indebtedness. This Guaranty is binding upon Guarantor and its successors and assigns.

11. No modification, consent, amendment or waiver of any provision of this Guaranty, nor consent to any departure by Guarantor therefrom, shall be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Required Lenders (or all Lenders if required pursuant to the Credit Agreement), and then shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. No notice to or demand on Guarantor in any case shall, of itself, entitle Guarantor to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. No delay or omission by Lenders in exercising any power or right hereunder shall impair any such right or power or be construed as a waiver thereof or any acquiescence therein, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power preclude other or further exercise thereof, or the exercise of any other right or power hereunder. All rights and remedies of Lenders hereunder are cumulative of each other and of every other right or remedy which Lenders may otherwise have at law or in equity or under any other contract or document, and the exercise of one or more rights or remedies shall not prejudice or impair the concurrent or subsequent exercise of other rights or remedies.

12. No provision herein or in any promissory note, instrument or any other Loan Document executed by any Borrower or Guarantor evidencing the Indebtedness shall require the payment or permit the collection of interest in excess of the Highest Lawful Rate. If any excess of interest in such respect is provided for herein or in any such promissory note, instrument, or any other Loan Document, the provisions of this paragraph shall govern, and none of the Borrowers nor Guarantor shall be obligated to pay the amount of such interest to the extent that it is in excess of the amount permitted by law. The intention of the parties being to conform strictly to any applicable federal or state usury laws now in force, all promissory notes, instruments and other Loan Documents executed by any Borrower or Guarantor evidencing the Indebtedness shall be held subject to reduction to the amount allowed under said usury laws as now or hereafter construed by the courts having jurisdiction.

13. If Guarantor should breach or fail to perform any provision of this Guaranty, Guarantor agrees to pay Beneficiaries all costs and expenses (including court costs and reasonable attorneys fees) incurred by Beneficiaries in the enforcement hereof.

14. (a) The liability of Guarantor under this Guaranty shall in no manner be impaired, affected or released by the insolvency, bankruptcy, making of an assignment for the benefit of creditors, arrangement, compensation, composition or readjustment of any Borrower, or any proceedings affecting the status, existence or assets of any Borrower or other similar proceedings instituted by or against any Borrower and affecting the assets of any Borrower.

Exhibit I-4

CHAPARRAL ENERGY, L.L.C.

CREDIT AGREEMENT

(b) Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that any interest on any portion of the Indebtedness which accrues after the commencement of any proceeding referred to in clause (a) above (or, if interest on any portion of the Indebtedness ceases to accrue by operation of law by reason of the commencement of said proceeding, such interest as would have accrued on such portion of the Indebtedness if said proceedings had not been commenced) shall be included in the Indebtedness because it is the intention of Guarantor, Administrative Agent and Lenders that the Indebtedness which is guaranteed by Guarantor pursuant to this Guaranty should be determined without regard to any rule of law or order which may relieve any Borrower of any portion of such Indebtedness. Guarantor will permit any trustee in bankruptcy, receiver, debtor in possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors or similar person to pay Beneficiaries or Administrative Agent, or allow the claim of Beneficiaries or Administrative Agent in respect of, any such interest accruing after the date on which such proceeding is commenced.

(c) In the event that all or any portion of the Indebtedness is paid by any Borrower, the obligations of Guarantor hereunder shall continue and remain in full force and effect or be reinstated, as the case may be, in the event that all or any part of such payment(s) are rescinded or recovered directly or indirectly from Administrative Agent or any Beneficiary as a preference, fraudulent transfer or otherwise, and any such payments which are so rescinded or recovered shall constitute Indebtedness for all purposes under this Guaranty.

15. Guarantor understands and agrees that any amounts of Guarantor on account with any Lender may, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, be offset to satisfy the obligations of Guarantor hereunder.

16. Guarantor hereby subordinates and makes inferior any and all indebtedness now or at any time hereafter owed by any Borrower to Guarantor to the Indebtedness evidenced by the Credit Agreement and agrees if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, not to permit any Borrower to repay, or to accept payment from any Borrower of, such indebtedness or any part thereof without the prior written consent of Lenders.

17. During the period that Lenders have any commitment to lend under the Loan Documents, or any amount payable under any Note remains unpaid, and throughout any additional preferential period subsequent thereto, Guarantor hereby waives any and all rights of subrogation to which Guarantor may otherwise be entitled against any Borrower, or any other guarantor of the Indebtedness, as a result of any payment made by Guarantor pursuant to this Guaranty.

18. As of the date hereof, the fair saleable value of the property of Guarantor is greater than the total amount of liabilities (including contingent and unliquidated liabilities) of Guarantor, and Guarantor is able to pay all of its liabilities as such liabilities mature and Guarantor does not have unreasonably small capital within the meaning of Xxxxxxx 000, Xxxxx 00, Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Code, as amended. In computing the amount of contingent or liquidated liabilities, such liabilities have been computed at the amount which, in light of all the facts and circumstances existing as of the date hereof, represents the amount that can reasonably be expected to become an actual or matured liability.

Exhibit I-5

CHAPARRAL ENERGY, L.L.C.

CREDIT AGREEMENT

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

20. (a) Except to the extent required for the exercise of the remedies provided in the other security instruments, Guarantor hereby irrevocably submits to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of any Texas state or federal court over any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Guaranty or any other Loan Document, and Guarantor hereby irrevocably agrees that all claims in respect of such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such Texas state or federal court. Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any Litigation arising out of or in connection with this Guaranty or any of the Loan Documents brought in district courts of Dallas County, Texas, or in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas, Dallas Division. Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any claim that any Litigation brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Guarantor hereby irrevocably consents to the service of process out of any of the aforementioned courts in any such Litigation by the delivery of copies thereof by Federal Express or other nationally recognized overnight delivery service, to Guarantor’s office c/o Chaparral Energy, L.L.C., 000 Xxxxx Xxxx Xxxx., Xxxxxxxx Xxxx, Xxxxxxxx 00000, Attn: Xxxx X. Xxxxxxx (Telecopy No. (000) 000-0000). Guarantor irrevocably agrees that any legal proceeding against Lenders shall be brought in the district courts of Dallas County, Texas, or in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Texas, Dallas Division. Nothing herein shall affect the right of Lenders to commence legal proceedings or otherwise proceed against Guarantor in any jurisdiction or to serve process in any manner permitted by applicable law. As used herein, the term “Litigation” means any proceeding, claim, lawsuit or investigation (i) conducted or threatened by or before any court or governmental department, commission, board, bureau, agency or instrumentality of the United States or of any state, commonwealth, nation, territory, possession, county, parish, or municipality, whether now or hereafter constituted or existing, or (ii) pending before any public or private arbitration board or panel.

(b) Nothing in this Paragraph 20 shall affect any right of any Lender to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by law or affect the right of any Lender to bring any action or proceeding against Guarantor in the courts of any other jurisdictions.

(c) To the extent that Guarantor has or hereafter may acquire any immunity from jurisdiction of any court or from any legal process (whether through service or notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution, execution or otherwise) with respect to itself or its property, Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives such immunity in respect of its obligations under this Guaranty and the other Loan Documents.

21. THIS GUARANTY AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS COLLECTIVELY REPRESENT THE FINAL AGREEMENT BY AND AMONG LENDERS,

22. GUARANTOR, FOR ITSELF, ITS SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS, HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ITS RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL, IN ANY LITIGATION ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS GUARANTY OR ANY OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS.
