Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 8 of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under subsection (a) or (b) above, notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof; but the failure to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have under subsection (a) or (b) above except to the extent that it has been materially prejudiced (through the forfeiture of substantive rights or defenses) by such failure; and provided further that the failure to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have to an indemnified party otherwise than under subsection (a) or (b) above. In case any such action is brought against any indemnified party and it notifies the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it may wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party (who shall not, except with the consent of the indemnified party, be counsel to the indemnifying party), and after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party under this Section 8 for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened action in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party unless such settlement includes (i) an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on any claims that are the subject matter of such action and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party.

(d) Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in this Section 8 is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under subsection (a) or (b) above, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to in subsection (a) or (b) above (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Purchasers on the other from the offering of the Notes or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Company and the Guarantors on the one hand and the Purchasers on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company and the Guarantors on the one hand and the Purchasers on the other shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses) received by the Company bear to the total discounts and commissions received by the Purchasers from the Company under this Agreement. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company and the Guarantors or the Purchasers and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement or omission. The amount paid by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to in the first sentence of this subsection (d) shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any action or claim which is the subject of this subsection (d). Notwithstanding the provisions of this subsection (d), no Purchaser shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Notes purchased by it were resold exceeds the amount of any damages which such Purchaser has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Purchasers’ obligations in this subsection (d) to contribute are several in proportion to their respective purchase obligations and not joint. The Company, the

Guarantors and the Purchasers agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 8(d) were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Purchasers were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in this Section 8(d).

9. Default of Purchasers. If any Purchaser or Purchasers default in their obligations to purchase the Notes hereunder on the Closing Date and the aggregate principal amount of the Notes that such defaulting Purchaser or Purchasers agreed but failed to purchase does not exceed 10% of the total principal amount of the Notes that the Purchasers are obligated to purchase on the Closing Date, the Representatives may make arrangements satisfactory to the Company for the purchase of such Notes by other persons, including any of the Purchasers, but if no such arrangements are made by the Closing Date, the non-defaulting Purchasers shall be obligated severally, in proportion to their respective commitments hereunder, to purchase the Notes that such defaulting Purchasers agreed but failed to purchase on the Closing Date. If any Purchaser or Purchasers so default and the aggregate principal amount of the Notes with respect to which such default or defaults occur exceeds 10% of the total principal amount of the Notes and arrangements satisfactory to the Representatives and the Company for the purchase of such Notes by other persons are not made within 36 hours after such default, this Agreement will terminate without liability on the part of any non-defaulting Purchaser or the Company, except as provided in Section 10. As used in this Agreement, the term “Purchaser” includes any person substituted for a Purchaser under this Section 9. Nothing herein will relieve a defaulting Purchaser from liability for its default.

10. Survival of Certain Representations and Obligations. The respective indemnities, agreements, representations, warranties and other statements of the Company, the Guarantors or their respective officers and of the several Purchasers set forth in or made pursuant to this Agreement will remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation, or statement as to the results thereof, made by or on behalf of any Purchaser, the Company, the Guarantors or any of their respective representatives, officers or directors or any controlling person, and will survive delivery of and payment for the Notes. If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 9 or for any reason the purchase of the Notes by the Purchasers is not consummated, the Company and the Guarantors shall remain responsible for the expenses to be paid or reimbursed by it pursuant to Section 5 and the respective obligations of the Company, the Guarantors and the Purchasers pursuant to Section 8 shall remain in effect. If the purchase of the Offered Securities by the Purchasers is not consummated for any reason other than solely because of the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9 or the occurrence of any event specified in clause (iii), (iv), (vi), (vii) or (viii) of Section 7(d), the Company and the Guarantors will reimburse the Purchasers for all out-of-pocket expenses (including fees and disbursements of counsel) reasonably incurred by them in connection with the offering of the Offered Securities. In addition, if any Offered Securities have been purchased hereunder, the representations and warranties in Section 2 and all obligations under Section 5 shall also remain in effect.

11. Notices. All communications hereunder will be in writing and, if sent to the Purchasers, will be mailed, hand delivered, couriered or facsimiled and confirmed to the Purchasers, (i) c/o Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC, Eleven Madison Avenue, New York, N.Y. 10010-3629, Attention: LCD-IBD and (ii) c/o Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Xxxxxx & Xxxxx Incorporated, 00 Xxxxxxxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000; Attention: High Yield Legal Department; Facsimile: 000-000-0000, or, if sent to the Company or the Guarantors, will be mailed, hand delivered, couriered or facsimiled and confirmed to it at 00000 Xxxxx Xxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxx 000, Xxxxxxxx Xxxx, XX 00000, Attention: Xxxxxxx X.

Xxxxx, P.C., provided, however, that any notice to a Purchaser pursuant to Section 8 will be mailed, hand delivered, couriered or facsimiled and confirmed to such Purchaser.

12. Successors. This Agreement will inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and the officers, directors and controlling persons referred to in Section 8, and no other person will have any right or obligation hereunder, except that holders of the Offered Securities shall be entitled to enforce the agreements for their benefit contained in the second and third sentences of Section 5(b) hereof against the Company as if such holders were parties thereto.

13. Representation of Purchasers. The Representatives will act for the several Purchasers in connection with this purchase, and any action under this Agreement taken by the Representatives will be binding upon all the Purchasers.

14. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute one and the same Agreement.

15. Absence of Fiduciary Relationship. Each of the Company and the Guarantors acknowledges and agrees that:

(a) No Other Relationship. The Purchasers have been retained solely to act as initial purchasers in connection with the initial purchase, offering and resale of the Notes and that no fiduciary, advisory or agency relationship between the Company or the Guarantors and the Purchasers have been created in respect of any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Preliminary Offering Circular or the Final Offering Circular, irrespective of whether the Purchasers have advised or are advising the Company or the Guarantors on other matters;

(b) Arm’s-Length Negotiations. The purchase price of the Notes set forth in this Agreement was established by the Company and the Guarantors following discussions and arms-length negotiations with the Purchasers and the Company and the Guarantors are capable of evaluating and understanding and understand and accept the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement;

(c) Absence of Obligation to Disclose. Each of the Company and the Guarantors has been advised that the Purchasers and their affiliates are engaged in a broad range of transactions which may involve interests that differ from those of the Company or the Guarantors and that the Purchasers have no obligation to disclose such interests and transactions to the Company or the Guarantors by virtue of any fiduciary, advisory or agency relationship; and

(d) Waiver. Each of the Company and the Guarantors waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any claims it may have against the Purchasers for breach of fiduciary duty or alleged breach of fiduciary duty and agree that the Purchasers shall have no liability (whether direct or indirect) to the Company or the Guarantors in respect of such a fiduciary duty claim or to any person asserting a fiduciary duty claim on behalf of or in right of the Company, including stockholders, employees or creditors of the Company or the Guarantors.

16. Applicable Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.

Each of the Company and the Guarantors hereby submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the Federal and state courts in the Borough of Manhattan in The City of New York in any suit or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. Each of the Company and the Guarantors irrevocably and unconditionally waives any objection to the laying of venue of any suit or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby in Federal and state courts in the Borough of Manhattan in The City of New York and irrevocably and unconditionally waives and agrees not to plead or claim in any such court that any such suit or proceeding in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

SCHEDULE C-1

[Form of Auditor Comfort Letter]

The Representatives shall have received letters, dated, respectively, the date hereof on the General Disclosure Package and the Closing Date on the Final Offering Circular, confirming that Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx LLP is a registered public accounting firm and independent public accountants within the meaning of the Securities Laws to the effect that:

(i) in their opinion the audited consolidated financial statements examined by them and included or incorporated by reference in the [Preliminary Offering Circular] [Final Offering Circular] comply as to form in all material respects with the applicable accounting requirements of the Securities Laws;

(ii) with respect to the period(s) covered by the unaudited quarterly consolidated financial statements included or incorporated by reference in the Preliminary and Final Offering Circular, they have performed the procedures specified by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants for a review of interim financial information as described in XX 000, Xxxxxxx Financial Information, on the unaudited quarterly consolidated financial statements (including the notes thereto) of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries included in the Preliminary and Final Offering Circular, and have made inquiries of certain officials of the Company who have responsibility for financial and accounting matters of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries as to whether such unaudited quarterly consolidated financial statements comply as to form in all material respects with the applicable accounting requirements of the Securities Act and the related published rules and regulations; they have read the latest unaudited monthly consolidated financial statements (including the notes thereto) of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries made available by the Company and the minutes of the meetings of the stockholders, Board of Directors and committees of the Board of Directors of the Company; and have made inquiries of certain officials of the Company who have responsibility for financial and accounting matters of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries as to whether the unaudited monthly financial statements are stated on a basis substantially consistent with that of the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Preliminary and Final Offering Circular; and on the basis thereof, nothing came to their attention which caused them to believe that:

(A) the unaudited financial statements included or incorporated by reference in the Preliminary and Final Offering Circular do not comply as to form in all material respects with the applicable accounting requirements of the Securities Laws, or that any material modifications should be made to the unaudited quarterly consolidated financial statements for them to be in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles;

(B) with respect to the period subsequent to the date of the most recent unaudited quarterly consolidated financial statements included or incorporated by reference in the Preliminary and Final Offering Circular, at a specified date at the end of the most recent month, there were any increases in the short-term debt or long-term debt of the Company, and its consolidated subsidiaries, or any change in stockholders’ equity or the consolidated capital stock of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries or any decreases in the net current assets or net assets of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries, as compared with the amounts shown on the latest balance sheet included or incorporated by reference in the General Disclosure Package or for the period from the day after the date of the most recent unaudited quarterly consolidated financial statements included or incorporated by reference in the General Disclosure Package for such entities to such specified date, there were any decreases, as compared with the corresponding period in the preceding year, in consolidated net sales, net operating income, or in total consolidated income before extraordinary items or net income of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries except for such changes, increases or decreases set forth in such letter;

(iii) With respect to any period as to which officials of the Company have advised that no consolidated financial statements as of any date or for any period subsequent to the specified date referred to in (ii)(B) above are available, they have made inquiries of certain officials of the Company who have responsibility for the financial and accounting matters of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries as to whether, at a specified date not more than three business days prior to the date of such letter, there were any increases in the short-term debt or long-term debt of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries, or any change in stockholders’ equity or the consolidated capital stock of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries or any decreases in the net current assets or net assets of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries, as compared with the amounts shown on the most recent balance sheet for such entities included or incorporated by reference in the General Disclosure Package; or for the period from the day after the date of the most recent unaudited quarterly financial statements for such entities included or incorporated by reference in the General Disclosure Package to such specified date, there were any decreases, as compared with the corresponding period in the preceding year, in net sales, net operating income, or in the total consolidated income before extraordinary items or net income of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries and, on the basis of such inquiries and the review of the minutes described in paragraph (ii) above, nothing came to their attention which caused them to believe that there was any such change, increase, or decrease, except for such changes, increases or decreases set forth in such letter;

(iv) with respect to the period(s) covered by the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements incorporated by reference in the Preliminary and Final Offering Circular, they have made inquiries of certain officials of the Company who have responsibility for financial and accounting matters of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries as to the basis for the determination of the pro forma adjustments and whether such unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements comply as to form in all material respects with the applicable accounting requirements of the Securities Act and the related published rules and regulations; have proved the arithmetic accuracy of the application of the pro forma adjustments to the historical amounts in the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements; and on the basis thereof, nothing came to their attention which caused them to believe that:

(A) the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements included or incorporated by reference in the Preliminary and Final Offering Circular do not comply as to form in all material respects with the applicable accounting requirements of the Securities Laws, and the pro forma adjustments have not been properly applied to the historical amounts in the compilation of those statements; and

(v) they have compared specified dollar amounts (or percentages derived from such dollar amounts) and other financial and statistical information contained or incorporated by reference in the Preliminary Offering Circular, each other document comprising any part of the General Disclosure Package, the Final Offering Circular and each item of Supplemental Marketing Material (other than any Supplemental Marketing Material that is an electronic road show) (in each case to the extent that such dollar amounts, percentages and other financial and statistical information are derived from the general accounting records of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries or are derived directly from such records by analysis or computation) with the results obtained from inquiries, a reading of such general accounting records and other procedures specified in such letter and have found such dollar amounts, percentages and other financial and statistical information to be in agreement with such results.

(xii) The statements in each of the General Disclosure Package and the Final Offering Circular under the captions “Description of the Notes” and “Description of Other Indebtedness,” insofar as they purport to be summaries of the terms of contracts and other documents specified therein, constitute fair summaries of the terms of such contracts and other documents in all material respects, subject to the qualifications and assumptions stated therein.

Negative Assurance

Because the primary purpose of such counsel’s professional engagement was not to establish or confirm factual matters or financial, accounting, statistical or reserve information, and because many determinations involved in the preparation of the General Disclosure Package or the Final Offering Circular are of a wholly or partially non-legal character, except to the extent expressly set forth in paragraphs (xi) and (xii) of this letter, such counsel is not passing upon and does not assume any responsibility for the accuracy, completeness or fairness of the statements contained or incorporated by reference in the General Disclosure Package and the Final Offering Circular and such counsel makes no representation that it has independently verified the accuracy, completeness or fairness of such statements.

However, in the course of our acting as counsel to the Company in connection with its preparation of the General Disclosure Package and the Final Offering Circular, such counsel has reviewed each such document and participated in conferences and telephone conversations with representatives of the Company, the internal reserve engineer of the Company, representatives of the independent public accountants for the Company, representatives of the independent petroleum engineers of the Company, representatives of the Purchasers and representatives of the Purchasers’ counsel, during which conferences and conversations the contents of the General Disclosure Package and the Final Offering Circular and related matters were discussed, and such counsel reviewed certain corporate records and documents furnished to such counsel by the Company and certain documents publicly filed by the Company with the Commission.

Subject to the foregoing, such counsel confirms to you that, on the basis of the information we gained in the course of performing the services referred to above, no facts have come to our attention that cause such counsel to believe that:

(i)

the General Disclosure Package, as of the Applicable Time, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; or

(ii)

the Final Offering Circular, as of its date and as of the date hereof, contained or contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or omits to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;

except that in the case of each of clauses (i) and (ii) above, such counsel does not express any view as to the: financial statements and related notes and schedules or other financial data, accounting data or reports on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting; oil and gas reserves; or statistical data derived from such financial data or oil and gas reserves and related future net cash flows contained in or incorporated by reference in or omitted from the General Disclosure Package or the Final Offering Circular.

Gulfport Energy Corporation

Chief Reserve Engineer Certificate

Capitalized terms used but not defined in this certificate have the meaning ascribed to them in the Purchase Agreement, dated December 15, 2016, among the Gulfport Energy Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), the Guarantors party thereto and Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC and Xxxxxxx Lynch, Pierce, Xxxxxx & Xxxxx Incorporated as representatives of the several Purchasers named in Schedule A thereto (the “Purchase Agreement”). This certificate is being delivered pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement.

In connection with the offering of the 6.375% Senior Notes due 2025, and to assist the Purchasers (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) in conducting and documenting their investigation of the affairs of the Company and the Guarantors in connection with the offering of the 6.375% Senior Notes due 2025, I, Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx, Vice President of Reservoir Engineering of the Company, do hereby certify as follows:

1. As Vice President of Reservoir Engineering of the Company, for each of the years ended December 31, 2013, 2014 and 2015, I have had primary supervisory responsibility for the preparation of internal reports (collectively the “Reports”) of the estimates of proved reserves and related future net revenues, to the Company’s interest, for each of (i) the Company’s interest in the Xxxxxx Play and (ii) certain other minor interests in various states.

2. I am familiar with the standards pertaining to the estimating and auditing of oil and gas reserve information promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), as in effect at each of the year ends of the respective reports.

3. The estimates of the Company’s proved reserves contained in each of the Reports, and the computations made in connection therewith, were made in accordance with the provisions of Rule 4-10 of Regulation S-X promulgated by the SEC and have been prepared in a manner consistent and in compliance with such other published interpretations and criteria pertaining to the estimation of proved oil and gas reserves and related future net revenues promulgated by the SEC, as such Rule was in effect and as such interpretations and criteria were published as of the year end date to which the Report relates.

4. The engineering estimates were based on the latest production data available at the time of the estimates, usually through November or December of the year end to which the Report relates. As of the date of this letter, no additional information has been brought to my attention which would lead me to believe that there would be a material downward change in the estimated proved reserves at December 31, 2015 attributable to the Company’s interests other than as a result of pricing changes and production since December 31, 2015.

5. I have reviewed the circled reserve information related to certain of the Company’s proved reserves derived from the Reports on pages attached hereto as Exhibit A from the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 and Exhibit 99.1 thereto and from a spreadsheet reconciling such information contained in the Form 10-K and Exhibit 99.1 thereto with the Company’s proved reserves contained in the Reports. I confirm that such circled information has been accurately derived from the Reports.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have signed this certificate.
