1. SCOPE OF AGREEMENT.

1.1 The Work. It is contemplated that from time to time Contractor will be requested by SandRidge or its present or future affiliated entities to perform certain work and services (“Work”). Neither SandRidge nor its affiliates shall be obligated to request Contractor to perform any Work, and Contractor shall not be obligated to accept requests to perform Work from either SandRidge or its affiliates, but it is expressly understood and agreed that any and all Work requested by SandRidge or its affiliates and accepted by Contractor shall be controlled and governed by the provisions of this MSA. The term “Agreement” means this MSA as incorporated in a Work Order (defined below), and the term “Company” as used herein shall mean the SandRidge parent or affiliated entity that issued the Work Order.

1.2 Work Orders. A request for Work (“Work Order”) may be either oral or submitted to Contractor on a purchase order or similar document to the form attached hereto as Exhibit C.

When issued, such Work Orders are non-binding, negotiable offers and are subject to their express terms. Such offers become a binding Work Order only after Company and Contractor have mutually agreed to all material terms and conditions concerning the requested Work, materials, products, or equipment.

1.3 Modifications. Should the parties hereto enter into any Work Order especially prepared to provide for a particular job to be done by Contractor, then, except to the extent expressly modified in a writing signed by both parties which refers to the conflicting term of this MSA, the terms of this MSA shall prevail with respect to any conflict between the terms of such Work Order and this MSA. To acknowledge or document various events during the Work, a party may from time to time sign the other party’s various forms, such as delivery tickets, labor tickets, bills of lading, purchase orders, and rental tickets, but terms and conditions included on such forms do not amend, modify, waive, or release any aspect of this MSA unless expressly agreed to by a writing signed in accordance with this Section 1.3.

The surface use agreements impose certain restrictions and expectations regarding the Company’s use of the surface in conjunction with the Company’s oil and gas exploration, production and related activities. The following list of “Ranch Rules” has been designed to comply with certain provisions of the surface use agreement(s) covering the areas commonly referred to as Allison Ranch, Longfellow Ranch, Longfellow-Schneemann Ranch and West Ranch (collectively, the “ranches” and individually, a “ranch”) and are applicable to all members of Contractor Group (as defined in Section 16.1.B of the MSA) and any others who perform services for the Company in its West Texas Area,

Identification: Every vehicle which enters a ranch will be required to prominently display a “Ranch Entrance Permit” in the vehicle while on the ranch, Authorized visitors may obtain their permit from the guard house at each entrance to the ranch and it must be returned to the guard house upon exiting the ranch. Contractor, its subcontractors, and its and their employees and vendors will be issued permits in accordance with their needs.

Speed Limit: The speed limit in the West Texas Area is 30 MPH with NO TOLERANCE.

Roads & Rights-of-way: All travel on a ranch is confined to established roads which are clearly maintained by the Company. Motorized travel is strictly prohibited on any pipeline right-of-way or any non-oilfield road.

Trash/Littering: Every person who enters a ranch has the responsibility to make sure that the ranch is maintained “trash free.” This should be interpreted as meaning each person is responsible for his/her own trash and also for any trash that he/she might encounter while on a ranch. The act of not properly controlling one’s own trash OR driving past trash without stopping to pick it up, will be treated equally as a violation of these Ranch Rules.

Motorcycles, ATV’s, etc.: All off-road type vehicles, including dirt bikes, ATVs, 4-wheelers and bicycles are prohibited on the ranches. Motorcycles and “trikes” are also prohibited.

Animals: No dogs or any type of pet is allowed on the ranches.

11.

Parking: Parking is only permitted within the fences on location or other designated parking areas. All parking is prohibited on rights-of-way, the sides of roads, in the pasture or anywhere a parking area is not expressly designated.

12.

Gate Protocol: All gates on the ranches are to be maintained “as is” and unaffected by ingress and egress. Gates that are found to be open shall remain open after passage. Gates that are found closed shall be closed after passage. Gates on completed locations are to remain closed at all times.

13.

Restricted Access: Contractor, its subcontractors, and its and their employees and vendors are permitted access on a ranch solely for the purpose of conducting oil and gas related activities and, therefore, are restricted to the oil and gas locations. Exploring and hiking on the ranch properties are prohibited.

14.

Searches: While Contractor, its subcontractors, and its and their employees and vendors are on a ranch, no reasonable expectation of privacy exists. Company specifically reserves the right to perform reasonable searches of individuals, their person, effects and vehicles at any time while on a ranch. Such searches shall include, but shall not be limited to, searches for illegal drugs, controlled substances, alcohol, firearms, ammunition, explosives, weapons and testing for red diesel (“Unpermitted Items”). Refusal to submit to such search is a violation of these Ranch Rules.

15.

Drug Testing: Company has the right to request random drug testing of personnel of Contractor, its subcontractors and vendors. An individual testing positive for illegal drugs or alcohol shall be in violation of these Ranch Rules. Failure to submit to such a drug test is a violation of these Ranch Rules.

Violations

Contractor agrees that any failure to comply with any provision of these Ranch Rules is a material breach of the MSA or each applicable Work Order.

In addition to, and without waiving, any and all rights and remedies available to Company at law or in equity arising from or in connection with a violation of the above Ranch Rules, Company may take all reasonable measures to ensure compliance with the Ranch Rules, including, without limitation, the following: (1) removal of any individual from the ranches found to be in violation of any of the above Ranch Rules; (2) removal of any individual from the ranches who refuses to submit to (i) a search pursuant Rule #14 above, or (ii) a drug test pursuant to Rule #15 above; (3) requiring payment to Company by Contractor of liquidated damages in an amount up to and including $500 per violation; and (4) withholding from any compensation owed to Contractor under any Work Order or invoice the amount of any liquidated damages, costs or expenses owed by Contractor to Company for any violations of the Ranch Rules.

Exhibit D - 2

In the event an employee or vendor of Contractor or one of its subcontractors is removed from the ranch by Company or by Contractor (at Company’s request) for a violation of one of the Ranch Rules, (i) such individual shall be denied access or readmission to the ranches without the prior written approval of Company, and (ii) Contractor shall immediately replace any employee or vendor who is so removed with another acceptable to Company in Company’s sole discretion.

When warranted, individuals in violation of the Ranch Rules may be reported to the appropriate law enforcement agencies.

The use and imposition of one or more reasonable measures will be done on a “case-by-case” basis, and shall not constitute a waiver of the Company’s right to terminate the MSA or each applicable Work Order for subsequent violations of the Ranch Rules. Contractor hereby authorizes the Company to take any and all reasonable measures necessary to ensure compliance with the Ranch Rules, including, without limitation, those measures expressly stated herein.
