Insolvency Provisions. In the event any proceeding (an “Insolvency Proceeding”) is brought by or against Borrower and/or the Mortgaged Properties under or pursuant to any bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar law or laws of the United States or any other state or other jurisdiction, including the Bankruptcy Code, and any other law or laws of the United States or any other state or other jurisdiction which affect the rights of debtors and/or creditors generally, including, without limitation: (i) any proceeding seeking to appoint or appointing a receiver or trustee; (ii) any proceeding filed by or against Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code; (iii) any assignment by Borrower of all or substantially all of their respective assets for the benefit of creditors; and (iv) any proceeding or other action wherein all or substantially all of Borrower’s assets are attached, seized, subjected to a writ or distress warrant, or otherwise levied upon, Borrower hereby agrees as follows:

Venue for an Insolvency Proceeding, without waiving the provisions requiring arbitration as set forth in the Loan Instruments, shall lie exclusively in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Western District of Texas, San Antonio Division.

Borrower agrees that, subject to court approval, Lender shall be deemed pursuant to this Agreement to have and be entitled to relief from the automatic stay under Section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code, and Borrower hereby unconditionally and irrevocably consents to the granting to Lender of relief from the automatic stay under Section 362 of the Bankruptcy Code to permit Lender to exercise any and all of its rights, recourses and remedies under the Loan Instruments, at law and/or in equity, including, without limitation, foreclosure of the Mortgage and sale of the Mortgaged Properties pursuant thereto and/or collection of the rents, income, revenue from oil and gas production or in relation thereto, proceeds, and profits directly by Lender. Further, if Lender requests such relief, Borrower shall not object to or oppose Lender’s request for immediate relief from the automatic stay for purposes of exercising any and all rights, recourses, remedies and benefits Lender may have under the Loan Instruments, at law and/or in equity, including, without limitation, foreclosure of the Mortgage and sale of the Mortgaged Properties pursuant thereto and/or collection of the rents and profits directly by Lender.

Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that Lender has a properly perfected, valid and enforceable lien upon and security interest in all or any portion of the Mortgaged Properties, except as provided or otherwise granted in this Agreement and pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, including, without limitation, the leases, rents, income, revenue from oil and gas production or in relation thereto, and profits, and Borrower will acknowledge the same in any Insolvency Proceeding. Further, Borrower shall not contest that Lender holds a properly perfected, valid and enforceable first priority lien on and security interest in each and every portion of the Mortgaged Properties, including, without limitation, the leases, rents, income, and profits.

Page 3

Subject to court approval, the value of the Mortgaged Properties alone without other collateral, cash, or other assets satisfactory to Lender, in its reasonable discretion, is not adequate to offer adequate protection to Lender in the event Borrower, or any one of them seeks financing as a debtor in possession. Borrower specifically agrees not to seek debtor in possession financing without providing adequate protection reasonably satisfactory to Lender.

Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Lender harmless from and against any and all loss, cost, liability, damage or expense Lender may suffer or incur as a result of Borrower’s breach of their respective obligations, covenants and agreements only under this Section, which indemnification obligations shall expire and be of no force and effect upon the earlier of two (2) years after (a) the Camber Assets Sale Date; or (b) the Surrender Transfer Date (defined below) (collectively, the “Transfer Date”).

Standstill. Subject to the conditions below (collectively, the “Standstill Conditions”), Lender agrees to stand still and not to take any action to collect the Indebtedness from Borrower, or to enforce or foreclose on the Mortgage and sale of the Mortgaged Properties (the “Standstill”) prior to the earlier of (i) September 30, 2018, unless the Camber Assets Sale Effective Date is required to be extended due to no fault of the Borrower, due to the regulatory requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission and/or NYSE American, in which case such date shall be automatically extended to no later than October 31, 2018 unless extended by both parties; or (ii) a default of the Standstill Conditions as determined by Lender in its reasonable discretion (collectively, the “Standstill Date”).

Borrower confirms and acknowledges that subsequent to the Deadline it will not make any deposits or disbursements into or from its bank account at Frost Bank; however, if a third party makes a deposit into a bank account at Frost Bank, such funds shall be transferred to International Bank of Commerce consistent with the above provision;

Borrower shall not pledge any assets, either real or personal, of Borrower or in which Borrower has any interest, now or in the future and howsoever evidenced, to any other party besides Lender provided however, that nothing herein shall limit the ability of Borrower to grant a purchase money security interest on newly acquired assets so long as such assets are not located in the State of Oklahoma;

Borrower shall not pay nor provide any monetary distribution whatsoever to any current officer, director or employee of Borrower outside of the normal course of business, and as to directors of Borrower, no more than a total of $40,000.00 in monetary distributions to such directors shall be made during the Standstill (which limitation shall not apply to stock distributions or stock payments);

Standstill Date. On and following the Standstill Date, Lender shall be free to be take any action to collect the Indebtedness from Borrower, or to enforce its rights under the Loan Instruments, including without limitation any and all rights to foreclose on the Mortgage and sale of the Mortgaged Properties, as Lender, in its sole discretion shall elect, unless Borrower shall, prior to the Standstill Date, cure all outstanding Defaults upon such terms and conditions as Lender may approve in its sole and absolute discretion.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower has the option during the Standstill to sell the Collateral, including without limitation, the Mortgaged Properties and the “Assets”, as defined in the APA (as defined in the Loan Agreement) SAVE AND EXCEPT the West Texas Properties (as defined in the Loan Agreement) (collectively, the “Camber Assets”), to a third party in an arm’s length transaction approved by Lender in its sole discretion (the “Third Party Buyer”) effective as of August 1, 2018 (the “Camber Assets Sale Effective Date”, and the date of closing such Camber Assets sale, the “Camber Asset Sale Date”), subject to (i) any and all liens and security interests of Lender, including without limitation, the Mortgage, (ii) the assumption by the Third Party Buyer of the Indebtedness and the execution of such Loan Instruments as Lender may require in its sole discretion upon such terms as Lender may require in its sole discretion to memorialize the assumption of the Indebtedness by the Third Party Buyer; and (iii) the consent, authorization and confirmations by Richard N. Azar, II, RAD2 Minerals, Ltd., a Texas limited partnership, Donnie B. Seay, and DBS Investments, Ltd., a Texas limited partnership, and acknowledgement of all continuing obligations of Guarantor upon such terms and memorialized by such Loan Instruments as Lender may require. The Camber Assets to be sold to the Third Party Buyer shall expressly be deemed to include certain non-operated interests operated by Equal Energy, Inc, and Bear Energy, Inc., including without limitation, all infrastructure, right of ways, easements, salt water disposal wells and all other non-operated assets in connection therewith. The Camber Assets shall also expressly be deemed to include all of the following:

All of Borrower’s right, title and interest in and to the “Many Drinks” disposal well and equipment, all associated agreements and other property or assets located on and/or associated with the “Many Drinks” disposal well owned by Borrower;

All of Borrower’s right, title and interest in and to the Leasehold Estate acquired around the Temporarily Abandoned Wells previously operated by and formerly owned by Midstates Petroleum or Equal Energy, Inc. or its subsidiary Petroflow Energy Corporation (collectively, the “TAW Leases”), and all other property and assets located on and/or associated therewith, subject to the TAW ORRI, defined below, owned as of the applicable Transfer Date; and

The Orion Assets, provided that the Borrower shall have the right to reserve (a) the Orion ORRI, defined below; and (b) the Orion Production Payment, defined below.

Page 6

In the event of a sale by Borrower during the Standstill and subject to Lender’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, and Borrower’s compliance with all of the terms as set forth herein, Borrower shall assign and convey to the Third Party Buyer the Camber Assets subject to a production payment reserved by Borrower in the amount of $2,500,000.00 burdening solely 1/8 (12.5%) of the Orion Assets, in the form of Exhibit “C” hereto (the “Orion Production Payment”). In addition to the Orion Production Payment, the Borrower will be provided a three percent (3%) overriding royalty interest reserved by Borrower burdening all of Borrower’s right, title and interest in and to the oil and gas leases constituting the Orion Assets (the “Orion ORRI”), in the form of Exhibit “D” hereto. If the Orion ORRI results in the Third Party Buyer receiving less than a 75.0% net revenue interest in any of the oil and gas leases constituting the Orion Assets, the Orion ORRI shall be reduced as to such oil and gas lease(s) assigned so that the Third Party Buyer shall not receive less than a 75.0% net revenue interest therein. The proceeds from the Orion ORRI shall be credited towards the Orion Production Payment. The Orion ORRI shall continue to remain in effect after the Orion Production Payment has been paid in full.

Furthermore, the Orion ORRI will be subject to the following (collectively, the “ORRI Burdens”):

The Orion ORRI shall bear all costs born under the oil and gas leases constituting the Orion Assets, including without limitation, taxes and treating, transportation, and marketing costs of the minerals produced thereunder;

The Orion ORRI shall include a proportionate reduction clause whereby if (i) the oil and gas leases assigned cover less than the entire mineral interest, and/or (ii) the interest of Borrower in the oil and gas leases assigned cover less than the entire leasehold interest, the Orion ORRI will be proportionately reduced;

The Orion ORRI shall contain a provision expressly permitting pooling without the consent of Borrower, and except for the extensions and renewals of the current oil and gas leases constituting the Orion Assets, the Orion ORRI shall not apply to new oil and gas leases covering the same lands burdened by the Orion ORRI obtained after the oil and gas leases burdened by the Orion ORRI have terminated; and

Any implied covenants regarding the Orion ORRI shall be expressly waived by Borrower.

Furthermore, Borrower shall reserve in the TAW Leases an overriding royalty interest in whatever leases remain at the closing of the Asset Purchase Agreement with N&B Energy, Inc. (the “TAW ORRI”), in the form of Exhibit “E” hereto, equal to the difference between existing oil and gas lease burdens, both contractual and of record, in the TAW Leases and an 81.125% net revenue interest. Like the Orion ORRI, the TAW ORRI will be subject to the ORRI Burdens, and if the reservation of the TAW ORRI results in the Third Party Buyer receiving less than an 81.125% net revenue interest in any of the oil and gas leases constituting the TAW Leases, the TAW ORRI shall be reduced as to such oil and gas lease(s) assigned so that the Third Party Buyer shall not receive less than a 81.125% net revenue interest therein. The TAW ORRI may be transferred prior to the applicable Transfer Date.

Page 7

As a part of the consideration for the sale of the Camber Assets within the Standstill, Lender shall agree to release solely the West Texas Properties from Lender’s liens and security interests, which Borrower shall retain and not convey to the Third Party Buyer. Additionally, immediately before the Camber Assets Sale Effective Date, Borrower shall pledge to Lender the remaining right, title and interest of Borrower and/ or the owner thereof in the Orion Assets twelve and one-half percent (12.5%) so that Lender shall then have a perfected security interest in 100% of the working interest in each of the oil and gas leases constituting the Orion Assets. Between the Effective Date and the Camber Assets Sale Effective Date, Borrower covenants and agrees that it shall not burden the Orion Assets with any additional lease burdens, including without limitation, any additional overriding royalty interests, which do not burden the oil and gas leases constituting the Orion Assets as of the Effective Date SAVE AND EXCEPT the Orion Production Payment and the Orion ORRI.

In the event that Borrower is ready, willing and able to close on the sale of the Camber Assets, and either the Third Party Buyer is not ready, willing and able to close and purchase the Camber Assets on or before the Standstill Date, or any reasonable extension agreed upon by Borrower and the Third Party Buyer and approved by Lender in writing, or the Borrower has not received shareholder approval by the Standstill Date or will not be able to hold a shareholder vote by such Standstill Date due to regulatory review of the proxy, Borrower shall surrender the Camber Assets to Lender or Lender’s designee as of the Camber Assets Sale Effective Date, subject to any and all security interests and liens of Lender and subject to the Orion ORRI, the TAW ORRI and the Orion Production Payment upon ten (10) days following the Standstill Date or any agreed-upon extension (collectively, the “Surrender Right” and the “Asset Surrender”). Lender shall, concurrently with its entry into this Agreement, designate an entity to hold the assets surrendered pursuant to the Asset Surrender. The assignment and conveyance instruments for the Asset Surrender shall be in a form approved by Lender in its reasonable discretion. The date that the Camber Assets are transferred to Lender is referred to herein as the “Surrender Transfer Date.” Upon exercising the Surrender Right, Lender shall determine, in its sole discretion, the value of the Camber Assets as of the Surrender Transfer Date (the “Camber Assets Value”), and the amount of the Indebtedness shall be reduced by the amount of the Camber Assets Value. The amount of the remaining Indebtedness (after deduction of the Camber Assets Value) is referred to herein as the “Post-Transfer Deficiency.” The transactions described in this paragraph, if consummated, shall constitute an assignment and conveyance in lieu of foreclosure and not in any way a retention of collateral in full or partial satisfaction of debt under Sections 9.620 of the Texas Business & Commerce Code (the “Code”). Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the maximum extent allowed by law, any and all rights under Sections 9.620, 9.621 or 9.623 of the Code.

Page 8

In the event that Borrower complies with the terms of this Agreement and (a) assigns the Camber Assets to a Third Party Buyer, the Lender agrees to only pursue the Camber Assets, the Third Party Buyer and the Guarantor for the repayment of amounts owed under the Loan Instruments (including, but not limited to principal, interest and fees due thereunder) and including the Post Transfer Deficiency, and to provide Borrower a novation and release from any and all liability in connection with the Loan Instruments in a form reasonably approved by Lender; or (b) the Lender exercises the Surrender Right, the Lender agrees to pursue only the Camber Assets and the Guarantor for the repayment of amounts owed under the Loan Instruments (including, but not limited to principal, interest and fees due thereunder) and including the Post Transfer Deficiency, and to provide Borrower a novation and release from any and all liability in connection with the Loan Instruments in a form reasonably approved by Lender. In either case, the Borrower, and its current, past and future shareholders, officers, and directors, except to the extent such are a Guarantor, shall have no liability for any amounts owed under the Loan Instruments effective upon the Camber Assets Sale Effective Date or date of the Asset Surrender, as applicable. It is understood and agreed that any and all protections and benefits under any asset purchase agreement for the sale of the Camber Assets from Borrower to a Third Party Buyer approved by Lender, including without limitation, that certain Asset Purchase Agreement dated July 12, 2018 (the “N&B APA”), by and between Borrower, as Seller, and N&B Energy, LLC, as Buyer, are deemed incorporated herein such that if Lender exercises the Surrender Right, all liabilities of Borrower under such asset purchase agreement, including without limitation, the Excluded Liabilities, as defined in the N&B APA, shall remain with Borrower after Lender exercises the Surrender Right.

Default. Failure or refusal of Borrower to (i) comply with any of the requirements hereunder, or (ii) perform any of its obligations hereunder, or the breach of the representations or covenants of this Agreement by Borrower (a “New Default”) shall constitute a default of this Agreement, the Note, the Loan Agreement, and the other Loan Instruments, and the undersigned will be liable for Lender’s attorney’s fees and related costs or expenses in enforcing this Agreement. Furthermore, if any default occurs during the Standstill under this Agreement, subject to written notice thereof provided by the Lender to the Borrower and the Borrower being provided two business days in the event of a default in the Funds Transfer Requirements and/or the payment of any amount due hereunder to the Lender in cash, and ten calendar days in the event of any other default hereunder, to cure any such default, the Standstill shall immediately terminate.

Upon the happening of any New Default, the Standstill shall terminate, and Lender may declare the entire outstanding principal amount of the Note, all accrued and unpaid interest and all accrued and unpaid late charges thereunder and all other indebtedness of Borrower to Lender, to be immediately due and payable, and the same shall thereupon become and be immediately due and payable without further notice and presentment, demand, notice of intent to accelerate, notice of actual acceleration, protest, notice of protest or other notice of default or dishonor of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by Borrower. Borrower expressly waives the Grace and Curative Period for any default under this Agreement whatsoever.

(i)

FEDERAL ARBITRATION ACT AND TEXAS LAW. The PARTIES acknowledge that this Agreement evidences a transaction involving interstate commerce. The Federal Arbitration Act shall govern (i) the interpretation and enforcement of these Arbitration Provisions, and (ii) all arbitration proceedings that take place pursuant to these Arbitration Provisions. THE PARTIES AGREE THAT, EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE EXPRESSLY AGREED TO BY THE PARTIES IN WRITING, OR UNLESS EXPRESSLY PROHIBITED BY LAW, TEXAS SUBSTANTIVE LAW (WITHOUT REGARD TO ANY CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES) WILL APPLY IN ANY BINDING ARBITRATION PROCEEDING OR SMALL CLAIMS COURT ACTION REGARDLESS OF WHO INITIATES THE PROCEEDING, WHERE YOU RESIDE OR WHERE THE DISPUTE AROSE.

II.

Provisions applicable only to a CONSUMER DISPUTE:

(a)

Any and all CONSUMER DISPUTES shall be resolved by arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under the Commercial Arbitration Rules and the Supplemental Procedures for Resolution of Consumer Disputes and Consumer Due Process Protocol (which are incorporated herein for all purposes). It is intended by the PARTIES that these Arbitration Provisions meet and include all fairness standards and principles of the American Arbitration Association’s Consumer Due Process Protocol and due process in predispute arbitration. If a CONSUMER DISPUTE is for a claim of actual damages above $250,000 it shall be administered by the AAA before three neutral arbitrators at the request of any PARTY.

(b)

Instead of proceeding in arbitration, any PARTY hereto may pursue its claim in your local small claims court, if the CONSUMER DISPUTE meets the small claims court’s jurisdictional limits. If the small claims court option is chosen, the PARTY pursuing the claim must contact the small claims court directly. The PARTIES agree that the class action waiver provision also applies to any CONSUMER DISPUTE brought in small claims court.

(c)

For any claim for actual damages that does not exceed $2,500, Lender will pay all arbitration fees and costs provided you submitted a Notice of Dispute with regard to the CONSUMER DISPUTE prior to initiation of arbitration. For any claim for actual damages that does not exceed $5,000, Lender also agrees to pay your reasonable attorney’s fees and reasonable expenses your attorney charges you in connection with the arbitration (even if the Arbitrator does not award those to you) plus an additional $2,500 if you obtain a favorable arbitration award for your actual damages which is greater than any written settlement offer for your actual damages made by Lender to you prior to the selection of the Arbitrator.

Page 13

(d)

Under the AAA’s Supplemental Procedures for Consumer Disputes, if your claim for actual damages does not exceed $10,000, you shall only be responsible for paying up to a maximum of $125 in arbitration fees and costs. If your claim for actual damages exceeds $10,000 but does not exceed $75,000, you shall only be responsible for paying up to a maximum of $375 in arbitration fees and costs. For any claim for actual damages that does not exceed $75,000, Lender will pay all other arbitrator’s fees and costs imposed by the administrator of the arbitration. With regard to a CONSUMER DISPUTE for a claim of actual damages that exceeds $75,000, or if the claim is a non-monetary claim, Lender agrees to pay all arbitration fees and costs you would otherwise be responsible for that exceed $1,000. The fees and costs stated above are subject to any amendments to the fee and cost schedules of the AAA. The fee and cost schedule in effect at the time you submit your claim shall apply. The AAA rules also permit you to request a waiver or deferral of the administrative fees and costs of arbitration if paying them would cause you financial hardship.

(e)

Although under some laws, Lender may have a right to an award of attorney’s fees and expenses if it prevails in arbitration, Lender agrees that it will not seek such an award in a binding arbitration proceeding with regard to a CONSUMER DISPUTE for a claim of actual damages that does not exceed $75,000.

(f)

To request information on how to submit an arbitration claim, or to request a copy of the AAA rules or fee schedule, you may contact the AAA at ###-###-#### (toll free) or at www.adr.org.

III.

Provisions applicable only to a BUSINESS DISPUTE:

(a)

Any and all BUSINESS DISPUTES between the PARTIES shall be resolved by arbitration in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the AAA in effect at the time of filing, as modified by, and subject to, these Arbitration Provisions. A BUSINESS DISPUTE for a claim of actual damages that exceeds $250,000 shall be administered by AAA before at least three (3) neutral arbitrators at the request of any PARTY. In the event the aggregate of all affirmative claims asserted exceeds $500,000, exclusive of interest and attorney’s fees, or upon the written request of any PARTY, the arbitration shall be conducted under the AAA Procedures for Large, Complex Commercial Disputes. If the payment of arbitration fees and costs will cause you extreme financial hardship you may request that AAA defer or reduce the administrative fees or request Lender to cover some of the arbitration fees and costs that would be your responsibility.

(b)

The PARTIES shall have the right to (i) invoke self-help remedies (such as setoff, notification of account debtors, seizure and/or foreclosure of collateral, and nonjudicial sale of personal property and real property collateral) before, during or after any arbitration, and/or (ii) request ancillary or provisional judicial remedies (such as garnishment, attachment, specific performance, receiver, injunction or restraining order, and sequestration) before or after the commencement of any arbitration proceeding (individually, and not on behalf of a class). The PARTIES need not await the outcome of the arbitration proceeding before using self-help remedies. Use of self-help or ancillary and/or provisional judicial remedies shall not operate as a waiver of either PARTY’s right to compel arbitration. Any ancillary or provisional judicial remedy which would be available from a court at law shall be available from the Arbitrator. The PARTIES agree that the AAA Optional Rules for Emergency Measures of Protection shall apply in an arbitration proceeding where emergency interim relief is requested.

Page 14

(c)

Except to the extent the recovery of any type or types of damages or penalties may not by waived under applicable law, the Arbitrator shall not have the authority to award either PARTY (i) punitive, exemplary, special or indirect damages, (ii) statutory multiple damages, or (iii) penalties, statutory or otherwise.

(d)

The Arbitrator may award attorney’s fees and costs including the fees, costs and expenses of arbitration and of the Arbitrator as the Arbitrator deems appropriate to the prevailing PARTY. The Arbitrator shall retain jurisdiction over questions of attorney’s fees for fourteen (14) days after entry of the decision.

IV.

General provisions applicable to both CONSUMER DISPUTES and BUSINESS DISPUTES:

(a)

The Arbitrator is bound by the terms of these Arbitration Provisions. The Arbitrator shall have exclusive authority to resolve any DISPUTES relating to the scope or enforceability of these Arbitration Provisions, including (i) all arbitrability questions, and (ii) any claim that all or a part of these Arbitration Provisions are void or voidable (including any claims that they are unconscionable in whole or in part).

(b)

These Arbitration Provisions shall survive any termination, amendment, or expiration of this Agreement, unless all of the PARTIES otherwise expressly agree in writing.

(c)

If a PARTY initiates legal proceedings, the failure of the initiating PARTY to request arbitration pursuant to these Arbitration Provisions within 180 days after the filing of the lawsuit shall be deemed a waiver of the initiating PARTY’S right to compel arbitration with respect to the claims asserted in the litigation. The failure of the defending PARTY in such litigation to request arbitration pursuant to these Arbitration Provisions within 180 days after the defending PARTY’S receipt of service of judicial process, shall be deemed a waiver of the right of the defending PARTY to compel arbitration with respect to the claims asserted in the litigation. If a counterclaim, cross-claim or third party action is filed and properly served on a PARTY in connection with such litigation, the failure of such PARTY to request arbitration pursuant to these Arbitration Provisions within ninety (90) days after such PARTY’S receipt of service of the counterclaim, cross-claim or third party claim shall be deemed a waiver of such PARTY’S right to compel arbitration with respect to the claims asserted therein. The issue of waiver pursuant to these Arbitration Provisions is an arbitrable dispute. Active participation in any pending litigation described above by a PARTY shall not in any event be deemed a waiver of such PARTY’S right to compel arbitration. All discovery obtained in the pending litigation may be used in any subsequent arbitration proceeding.

Page 15

(d)

Any PARTY seeking to arbitrate shall serve a written notice of intent to any and all opposing PARTIES after a DISPUTE has arisen. The PARTIES agree a timely written notice of intent to arbitrate by either PARTY pursuant to these Arbitration Provisions shall stay and/or abate any and all action in a trial court, save and except a hearing on a motion to compel arbitration and/or the entry of an order compelling arbitration and staying and/or abating the litigation pending the filing of the final award of the Arbitrator.

(e)

Any Arbitrator selected shall be knowledgeable in the subject matter of the DISPUTE and be licensed to practice law.

(f)

For a one (1) member arbitration panel, the PARTIES are limited to an equal number of strikes in selecting the arbitrator from the AAA neutral list, such that at least one arbitrator remains after the PARTIES exercise all of their respective strikes. For a three (3) member arbitration panel, the PARTIES are limited to an equal number of strikes in selecting the arbitrators from the AAA neutral list, such that at least three arbitrators remain after the PARTIES exercise all of their respective strikes. After exercising all of their allotted respective strikes, the PARTIES shall rank those potential arbitrators remaining numerically in order of preference (with “1” designating the most preferred). The AAA shall review the PARTIES rankings and assign a score to each potential arbitrator by adding together the ranking given to such potential arbitrator by each PARTY. The arbitrator(s) with the lowest score total(s) will be selected. In the event of a tie or ties for lowest score total and if the selection of both or all of such potential arbitrators is not possible due to the required panel size, the AAA shall select the arbitrator(s) it believes to be best qualified.

(g)

The PARTIES and the Arbitrator shall treat all aspects of the arbitration proceedings, including, without limitation, any documents exchanged, testimony and other evidence, briefs and the award, as strictly confidential; provided, however, that a written award or order from the Arbitrator may be filed with any court having jurisdiction to confirm and/or enforce such award or order.

(h)

Any statute of limitation which would otherwise be applicable shall apply to any claim asserted in any arbitration proceeding under these Arbitration Provisions, and the commencement of any arbitration proceeding tolls such statute of limitations.

(i)

If the AAA is unable for any reason to provide arbitration services, then the PARTIES agree to select another arbitration service provider that has the ability to arbitrate the DISPUTE pursuant to and consistent with these Arbitration Provisions. If the PARTIES are unable to agree on another arbitration service provider, any PARTY may petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint an Arbitrator to administer the arbitration proceeding pursuant to and consistent with these Arbitration Provisions.

Page 16

(j)

The award of the Arbitrator shall be final and Judgment upon any such award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. The arbitration award shall be in the form of a written reasoned decision and shall be based on and consistent with applicable law.

(k)

Unless the PARTIES mutually agree to hold the binding arbitration proceeding elsewhere, venue of any arbitration proceeding under these Arbitration Provisions shall be in the county and state where Lender is located, which is Lender’s address set out in the first paragraph on page 1 hereof.

(l)

If any of these Arbitration Provisions are held to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall be enforced without regard to the invalid or unenforceable term or provision.

JURY WAIVER: IF A DISPUTE BETWEEN YOU AND LENDER PROCEEDS IN COURT RATHER THAN THROUGH MANDATORY BINDING ARBITRATION, THEN YOU AND LENDER BOTH WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL, AND SUCH DISPUTE WILL BE TRIED BEFORE A JUDGE ONLY.

STATE OF OKLAHOMA	§
	§	KNOW ALL MEN BY THESE PRESENTS:
COUNTY OF OKFUSKEE	§

That CE Operating, LLC having a mailing address at 1415 Louisiana Street, Suite 3500, Houston, Texas 77002 (hereinafter “Assignor”), for and in consideration of one dollar ($1.00) and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, does hereby assign, transfer, sell and convey unto Camber Royalties, LLC having a mailing address at 1415 Louisiana Street, Suite 3500 Houston, Texas 77002 (hereinafter “Assignee”) an Overriding Royalty Interest equal to three percent of eight-eights (the “Overriding Royalty Interest”) in and to those Oil and Gas Leases and Orders which cover the lands and wells described on Exhibit “A-1” and Exhibit “B” in Lincoln County, State of Oklahoma.

The Overriding Royalty Interest assigned herein applies to all oil, gas, casinghead gas or other hydrocarbon substances which may be produced, saved and marketed from the lands under the terms of the Oil and Gas Leases described on Exhibit “A-1” or the wells described on Exhibit “B”, if, as and when produced, saved, sold and marketed, but not otherwise, insofar and only insofar as the Oil and Gas Leases cover the lands specifically described on Exhibit “A-1” and the wells on Exhibit “B”, and subject to the provisions and conditions herein set forth. The Overriding Royalty Interest herein shall bear all costs borne under the oil and gas leases constituting the Oil and Gas Leases described on Exhibit “A-1”, including without limitation, taxes and treating, transportation, and marketing costs of the minerals produced thereunder and pay currently its proportionate share of gross production, severance, pipeline taxes and other taxes which may be assessed or levied against said Overriding Royalty Interest or the production attributable thereto. The Overriding Royalty Interest assigned herein shall not impose upon Assignor herein, or Assignor’s successors and assigns, any duty or obligation to develop or operate the lands covered by the Oil and Gas Leases which cover the lands described on Exhibit “A-1” for oil, gas or other hydrocarbons other than as required by the provisions of the Oil and Gas Leases, nor to maintain the Oil and Gas Leases in effect by the payment of delay rentals.

In the event the Oil and Gas Leases cover less than the entire interest in the oil, gas and other hydrocarbons in the lands covered thereby, the Overriding Royalty Interest assigned herein shall be reduced proportionately and shall be payable to Assignee in the proportion which the interests in the oil, gas and other hydrocarbons in the lands covered by the Oil and Gas Leases bear to the entire estate in the oil, gas and other hydrocarbons in and under said lands described on Exhibit “A-1”.

In accordance with Section 2.7(b) of that certain Asset Purchase Agreement dated July 10, 2018, between Camber Energy, Inc. and N&B Energy, LLC (the “APA”), and provided the Closing (as defined in the APA) of such APA occurs and Assignee fails to pay any Unpaid Bills (as defined in the APA), N&B Energy, LLC may be entitled to pay such expenses and deduct the amount of such expenses from any sums payable to Assignee hereunder.

Exhibit D, Page 2

This Overriding Royalty Interest shall attach and apply to all extensions and renewals of the Oil and Gas Leases covering any of the wells described on Exhibit “B”; however, this Overriding Royalty Interest shall expressly not apply to new oil and gas leases covering the same lands burdened by the Overriding Royalty Interest obtained after the Oil and Gas Leases described on Exhibit “A-1” have terminated.

Assignor is hereby authorized to create or form pooled units and thereby pool or unitize the Overriding Royalty Interest in the same manner and to the same extent as provided in the Oil and Gas Leases and Orders which cover the lands and wells described on Exhibit “A-1” and Exhibit “B”, without any further consent of, or consultation with, Assignee. In the event of such pooling or unitization, Assignee shall receive only such proportion of the Overriding Royalty Interest stipulated herein as the amount of the acreage covered by the Oil and Gas Leases and Orders which cover the lands and wells described on Exhibit “A-1” and Exhibit “B”, and placed in the unit bears to the total acreage in the unit. The Overriding Royalty Interests are subject to any and all amendments of the Oil and Gas Leases and Orders, now and in the future.

If the assignment of the Overriding Royalty Interest herein conveyed results in Assignor, or any third-party buyer of Assignor’s interest in the Oil and Gas Leases and Orders which cover the lands and wells described on Exhibit “A-1” and Exhibit “B”, receiving less than a 75.0% net revenue interest in any of the Oil and Gas Leases and Orders which cover the lands and wells described on Exhibit “A-1” and Exhibit “B”, the Overriding Royalty Interest shall apply to such oil and gas lease(s) assigned only to the extent necessary for Assignor or any third-party buyer of Assignor’s interest to receive no less than a 75.0% net revenue interest in any of the Oil and Gas Leases and Orders.

If (i) the Oil and Gas Leases described on Exhibit “A-1” or the wells described on Exhibit “B” cover less than the entire mineral interest, and/or (ii) the interest of Assignor in the Oil and Gas Leases described on Exhibit “A-1” or the wells described on Exhibit “B” cover less than the entire leasehold interest, the overriding royalty interest shall be proportionately reduced.

This Assignment is made without warranty of title, either express or implied. Provided, however, Assignor makes a special limited warranty to Assignee that the interests assigned herein are not subject to any Agreement which has not been disclosed to Assignee which would adversely affect the interests assigned herein. ANY AND ALL IMPLIED COVENANTS RELATING TO THE OVERRIDING ROYALTY INTEREST ASSIGNED HEREBY ARE EXPRESSLY WAIVED BY ASSIGNEE AND OF NO FORCE OR EFFECT.

All of the terms, provisions, covenants and agreements herein contained shall extend to and be binding upon the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns.
