Post-Closing Letter Agreement between Red Hawk Petroleum, LLC and Continental Resources, Inc. (October 9, 2014)

Summary

This agreement is between Red Hawk Petroleum, LLC and Continental Resources, Inc. and addresses final adjustments and corrections following their earlier Purchase and Sale Agreement for oil and gas assets in Colorado. It confirms a net price adjustment, the transfer of specific oil and gas leases, and the correction of certain assignment errors. Both parties agree to execute necessary documents to finalize these changes. The agreement also clarifies that, except for a specific tax adjustment, its terms take precedence over any conflicting terms in the original purchase agreement.

Post-Closing Letter
 
Purchase and Sale Agreement dated January 21, 2014
 
Niobrara Prospect
 
Morgan and Weld Counties, Colorado

Gentlemen:
 
Reference is made to that certain Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), dated January 21, 2014, by and between Continental Resources, Inc. (“Seller”), and Red Hawk Petroleum, LLC (“Buyer”). Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings given in the Purchase Agreement.
 
In consideration of Ten Dollars ($10.00), and the mutual promises and covenants contained herein, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties agree as follows:
 
1.           Post-Closing Statement. Attached as Exhibit A is the final Post-Closing Statement, which sets forth a net-downward adjustment of $482,677.26 to the Base Purchase Price.  Seller shall pay to an account designated by Buyer the foregoing amount not later than the date of this letter.

2.           Arnold Lease Assignments. In exchange for the ad-valorem tax adjustment (the “Ad-Valorem Adjustment”) in favor of Seller of approximately $73,223.97, which is accounted for in the Post-Closing Statement, Seller agrees to assign, transfer and convey to Buyer the oil and gas leases described in Exhibit B as Agreement Numbers: 030814, 036360, 052999, 075750, 083804 and 091130.

3.           Clean-Up Assignments. After Closing, the Parties discovered certain errors in the Conveyances. To correct these errors:

(a)              Seller agrees to assign, transfer and convey to Buyer the leasehold estates created by the oil and gas leases described in Exhibit B, insofar as and only insofar as such leases cover the land  described in Exhibit B.

(b)              Buyer agrees to assign, transfer and convey to Seller the leasehold estates created by the oil and gas leases described in Exhibit C, insofar as and only insofar as such leases cover the land  described in Exhibit C.

 
 

 
(c)              On the date of this letter, each Party shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the other Party two original assignments, in the form of Exhibit D. The assigning Party shall warrant title, free and clear of all liens, encumbrances and defects of title arising by, through or under the assigning Party, but not otherwise, subject to the terms and conditions of this letter, the Purchase Agreement and the Leases, and a proportionate part of all landowners’ royalties, overriding royalties and similar burdens of record as of the Effective Time.

4.           No Modification. Except with respect to the Ad-Valorem Adjustment, Section 15.6 of the Purchase Agreement shall neither limit the rights of Buyer nor the obligations of Seller set forth in the Purchase Agreement with regard to the matters set forth in this letter, including without limitation the Parties respective liability for taxes arising from their ownership and operation of the Assets.

5.           Miscellany.  This letter shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the Parties, and their respective successors and assigns. In the event of any conflict between this letter and the Purchase Agreement, this letter shall control and govern the point in conflict. This letter may be executed in one or more counterparts, all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

If the foregoing correctly reflects our understandings and agreements, please sign and date this letter, and return a copy to me. If you have any questions, please contact me. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.
 
Sincerely,
