Box 471428, Fort Worth, Texas 76147-1376 (ENEXP), Halcón Energy Properties, Inc., a Delaware corporation, whose address is 1100 Louisiana Street, Suite 6700, Houston, Texas 77002 (Halcón), and TDM HOLDING, LLC, a Texas Limited Liability Company with an address of 100 Throckmorton, Ste. 1700, Fort Worth, Texas 76102 (TDM).
WHEREAS, ENEXP executed those certain Assignments of Overriding Royalty described in Exhibit A attached hereto (the ORRI Assignments), that granted to TDM an overriding royalty interest those certain Oil, Gas, and Mineral Leases more particularly described in the ORRI Assignments (collectively, the Subject Leases);
WHEREAS, each ORRI Assignment granted TDM with an undivided overriding royalty interest in the Subject Leases but certain of the ORRI Assignments provided that the amount of said interest was subject to change, depending upon whether all other overriding royalty interests granted by Assignor created a total burden of greater than twenty-five percent (25%) of 8/8ths in any given lease;
WHEREAS, by that certain Assignment, Bill of Sale and Conveyance dated April 19, 2012, recorded in Volume 1415, Page 132, Real Property Records of Grimes County, Texas, and Volume 1154, Page 9, Official Public Records of Madison County, Texas, and Volume 1021, Page 34, Official Public Records of Walker County, Texas, Assignor assigned to Halcón Energy Properties, Inc. (the Halcón), an undivided sixty-five percent (65%) of 8/8ths interest in the Subject Leases and other oil, gas, and mineral leases (the Halcón Assignment #1);
WHEREAS, by that certain Assignment, Bill of Sale and Conveyance dated April 19, 2012, recorded in Volume 1415, Page 107, Real Property Records of Grimes County, Texas, and recorded in Volume 1154, Page 35, Official Public Records of Madison County, Texas, Assignor assigned to Halcón an undivided sixty-five percent (65%) of 8/8ths interest in the Subject Leases and other oil, gas, and mineral leases (the Halcón Assignment #2);

WHEREAS, by that certain Assignment, Bill of Sale and Conveyance dated May 24, 2012, recorded in Volume 1422, Page 255, Real Property Records of Grimes County, Texas, and Volume 1166 Page 164, Official Public Records of Madison County, Texas, and Volume 1028, Page 706, Official Public Records of Walker County, Texas, Assignor assigned to Halcón an undivided sixty-five percent (65%) of 8/8ths interest in the Subject Leases and other oil, gas, and mineral leases (the Halcón Assignment #4, and collectively, with Halcón Assignment #1, Halcón Assignment #2, and Halcón Assignment #3, the Halcón Assignments); and
WHEREAS, ENEXP, Halcón, and TDM have determined there is a need to fix the amount of the overriding royalty interest granted to TDM pursuant to the ORRI Assignments for the purpose of avoidance of all doubt and to stipulate TDMs interest in the Subject Leases.
NOW THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Assignor, Halcón, and TDM hereby stipulate, mutually agree, and do hereby grant, assign, and convey, to the extent legally necessary to vest TDM with title to the overriding royalty interest in the Subject Leases in the amount set opposite its name in the table shown on Exhibit B attached hereto.
The parties acknowledge that the Halcón Assignments provided Halcón with a minimum net revenue interest of 65% of 75% of 8/8ths in the Subject Leases. Assignor hereby stipulates that, to the extent any of the Subject Leases have lease burdens in excess of 25% of 8/8ths, the amount by which such burdens exceed 25% of 8/8ths shall be borne by Assignors working interest in said lease.
All other terms, conditions, covenants, and agreements contained in the respective ORRI Assignments shall remain in force and effect. The parties hereto also agree that the terms of this Stipulation of Interest shall be binding upon the parties, their successors, heirs, assigns and personal representatives.
This agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which shall constitute but one and the same instrument.
