<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:8%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">On April&nbsp;16, 2015, Gulfport Energy Corporation (&#147;Gulfport&#148;) and certain subsidiary guarantors entered into a Purchase Agreement
(the &#147;Purchase Agreement&#148;) with Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC and Scotia Capital (USA) Inc., as representatives of the several initial purchasers named in the Purchase Agreement, in connection with Gulfport&#146;s private placement of
senior notes. The Purchase Agreement provides for, among other things, the issuance and sale by Gulfport of $350.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 6.625% Senior Notes due 2023 (the &#147;Notes&#148;) to qualified institutional buyers
pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the &#147;Securities Act&#148;), and to certain non-U.S. persons in accordance with Regulation S under the Securities Act (the &#147;Notes Offering&#148;). Gulfport and the
subsidiary guarantors of the Notes have agreed to indemnify the initial purchasers against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, or to contribute to payments the initial purchasers may be required to make because of
any of such liabilities. Under the Purchase Agreement, Gulfport also agreed to a 90-day lock-up with respect to, among other things, an offer, sale or other disposition of its U.S. dollar-denominated debt securities, subject to certain exceptions.
In addition, Gulfport and the subsidiary guarantors have entered into an indenture and a registration rights agreement relating to the Notes, which are discussed further below under the headings &#147;Indenture&#148; and &#147;Registration Rights
Agreement,&#148; respectively. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:8%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Gulfport estimates that its net proceeds from the Notes Offering will be approximately $343.6 million,
after deducting the initial purchasers&#146; discounts and estimated offering expenses. Gulfport intends to use the net proceeds from the Notes Offering, together with the net proceeds from the Equity Offering (as defined below under the heading
&#147;Underwriting Agreement&#148;) (i)&nbsp;to fund Gulfport&#146;s previously announced pending acquisition of Paloma Partners III, LLC (the &#147;Pending Acquisition&#148;) for a total purchase price of approximately $301.3 million, subject to
closing adjustments, (ii)&nbsp;to repay the current outstanding borrowings under Gulfport&#146;s secured revolving credit facility and (iii)&nbsp;for general corporate purposes, including the funding of a portion of Gulfport&#146;s 2015 capital
development plans. The Notes Offering closed on April&nbsp;21, 2015. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:8%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">An affiliate of Scotia Capital (USA) Inc. acts as administrative
agent, letter of credit issuer and sole lead manager and affiliates of each of Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC and Scotia Capital (USA) Inc. act as lenders under Gulfport&#146;s secured revolving credit facility and will receive a portion of the
net proceeds of the Notes Offering. An affiliate of Scotia Capital (USA) Inc. and Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC acted as Gulfport&#146;s financial advisors in connection with the Pending Acquisition. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:8%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The preceding summary of the Purchase Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such agreement, a copy of which

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:8%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Notes were issued under an indenture, dated as of April&nbsp;21, 2015, among Gulfport, the subsidiary guarantors party thereto and Wells
Fargo Bank, N.A., as trustee (the &#147;Indenture&#148;). Pursuant to the Indenture, interest on the Notes will accrue at a rate of 6.625%&nbsp;per annum on the outstanding principal amount thereof from April&nbsp;21, 2015, payable semi-annually on
May&nbsp;1 and November&nbsp;1 of each year, commencing on November&nbsp;1, 2015. The Notes will mature on May&nbsp;1, 2023. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:8%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Notes
are Gulfport&#146;s senior unsecured obligations and rank equally in right of payment with all of Gulfport&#146;s other senior indebtedness, including Gulfport&#146;s existing senior notes, and senior in right of payment to any of Gulfport&#146;s
future subordinated indebtedness. All of Gulfport&#146;s existing and future restricted subsidiaries that guarantee its secured revolving credit facility or certain other debt guarantee the Notes, provided, however, that the Notes are not guaranteed
by Grizzly Holdings, Inc. and will not be guaranteed by any of Gulfport&#146;s future unrestricted subsidiaries. The guarantees rank equally in right of payment with all of the senior indebtedness of the subsidiary guarantors and senior in right of
payment to any future subordinated indebtedness of the subsidiary guarantors. The Notes and the guarantees are effectively subordinated to all of Gulfport&#146;s and the subsidiary guarantors&#146; secured indebtedness (including all borrowings and
other obligations under Gulfport&#146;s secured revolving credit facility) to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such indebtedness, and structurally subordinated to all indebtedness and other liabilities of any of Gulfport&#146;s
subsidiaries that do not guarantee the Notes. </P>

redemption prices listed in the Indenture. Prior to May&nbsp;1, 2018, Gulfport may redeem all or a portion of the Notes at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes plus a &#147;make-whole&#148; premium and accrued and unpaid
interest to the redemption date. In addition, any time prior to May&nbsp;1, 2018, Gulfport may redeem Notes in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes issued prior to such date at a redemption
price of 106.625%, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date, with an amount equal to the net cash proceeds from certain equity offerings. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:8%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">If Gulfport experiences a change of control (as defined in the Indenture), it will be required to make an offer to repurchase the Notes at a
price equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of repurchase. If Gulfport sells certain assets and fails to use the proceeds in a manner specified in the Indenture, it will be required to
use the remaining proceeds to make an offer to repurchase the Notes at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of repurchase. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:8%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Indenture contains certain covenants that, subject to certain exceptions and qualifications, among other things, limit Gulfport&#146;s
ability and the ability of its restricted subsidiaries to incur or guarantee additional indebtedness, make certain investments, declare or pay dividends or make distributions on capital stock, prepay subordinated indebtedness, sell assets including
capital stock of restricted subsidiaries, agree to payment restrictions affecting Gulfport&#146;s restricted subsidiaries, consolidate, merge, sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its assets, enter into transactions with

representatives of the initial purchasers, dated as of April&nbsp;21, 2015 (the &#147;Registration Rights Agreement&#148;), pursuant to which Gulfport agreed to file a registration statement with respect to an offer to exchange the Notes for a new
issue of substantially identical debt securities registered under the Securities Act. Under the Registration Rights Agreement, Gulfport also agreed to use its commercially reasonable efforts to have the registration statement declared effective by
the Securities and Exchange Commission (the &#147;SEC&#148;) on or prior to the 330th day after the issue date of the Notes and to keep the exchange offer open for not less than 30 days (or longer if required by applicable law). Gulfport may be
required to file a shelf registration statement to cover resales of the Notes under certain circumstances. If Gulfport fails to satisfy these obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement, it agreed to pay additional interest to the holders of
the Notes as specified in the Registration Rights Agreement. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:8%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The preceding summary of the Registration Rights Agreement is qualified in

April&nbsp;16, 2015, Gulfport entered into an Underwriting Agreement with Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC and Scotia Capital (USA) Inc., as representatives of the several underwriters named therein (the &#147;Underwriting Agreement&#148;). The
Underwriting Agreement relates to the public offering of 9,500,000 shares of Gulfport&#146;s common stock at a public offering price of $47.75 per share. Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, the underwriters were granted a 30-day option to
purchase a maximum of 1,425,000 additional shares of common stock from Gulfport at the public offering price (less the underwriting discount), which option was exercised in full by the underwriters on April&nbsp;16, 2015. </P>

conducting and documenting their investigation of the affairs of the Company and the Guarantors in connection with the offering of the 6.625% Senior Notes due 2023, I, <B>Steven&nbsp;R. Baldwin</B>, Vice President of Reservoir Engineering of the
Company, do hereby certify as follows: </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">1. As Senior Reservoir Engineer of the Company, for each of the years ended December&nbsp;31,
2012, 2013 and 2014, I have had primary supervisory responsibility for the preparation of internal reports (collectively the &#147;Reports&#148;) of the estimates of proved reserves and related future net revenues, to the Company&#146;s interest,
for each of (i)&nbsp;the properties in the East and West Hackberry Fields, except the reports for the East and West Hackberry Fields for 2012 were prepared by Netherland, Sewell&nbsp;&amp; Associates, Inc., the Company&#146;s independent petroleum
engineers, (ii)&nbsp;the Company&#146;s interest in the Bakken Play and (iii)&nbsp;certain other minor interests in various states. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">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 &#147;SEC&#148;), as in effect at each of the year ends of the respective reports.
</P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">3. The estimates of the Company&#146;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&nbsp;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. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">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&nbsp;31, 2014 attributable to the Company&#146;s interests other than as a result of pricing changes and production since December&nbsp;31, 2014. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">5. I have reviewed the circled reserve information related to certain of the Company&#146;s proved reserves derived from the Reports on pages
attached hereto as Appendix&nbsp;A from the Preliminary Offering Circular and the Final Offering Circular (each as defined in the Purchase Agreement). I confirm that such circled information has been accurately derived from the Reports. </P>

received by the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters 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 underwriting
discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters. 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 or the Underwriters and the parties&#146; 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)&nbsp;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 Underwriter shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by
which the total price at which the Securities underwritten by it and distributed to the public were offered to the public exceeds the amount of any damages which such Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged
untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section&nbsp;11(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such
fraudulent misrepresentation. The Underwriters&#146; obligations in this subsection (d)&nbsp;to contribute are several in proportion to their respective underwriting obligations and not joint. The Company and the Underwriters agree that it would not
be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section&nbsp;8(d) were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Underwriters were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take account

April&nbsp;16, 2015, between the Gulfport Energy Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the &#147;Company&#148;), Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC and Scotia Capital (USA) Inc. as Representatives of the several Underwriters named in Schedule A
thereto (the &#147;Underwriting Agreement&#148;). This certificate is being delivered pursuant to the terms of the Underwriting Agreement. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In connection with the public offering of shares of common stock of the Company, and to assist the Underwriters in conducting&nbsp;and
documenting their investigation of the affairs of the Company in connection with the offering of Securities, I, <B>Steven&nbsp;R.&nbsp;Baldwin</B>, Vice President of Reservoir Engineering of the Company, do hereby certify as follows: </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">1. As Senior Reservoir Engineer of the Company, for each of the years ended December&nbsp;31, 2012, 2013 and 2014, I have had primary
supervisory responsibility for the preparation of internal reports (collectively the &#147;Reports&#148;) of the estimates of proved reserves and related future net revenues, to the Company&#146;s interest, for each of (i)&nbsp;the properties in the
East and West Hackberry Fields, except the reports for the East and West Hackberry Fields for 2012 were prepared by Netherland, Sewell&nbsp;&amp; Associates, Inc., the Company&#146;s independent petroleum engineers, (ii)&nbsp;the Company&#146;s
interest in the Bakken Play and (iii)&nbsp;certain other minor interests in various states. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">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 &#147;SEC&#148;), as in effect at each of the year ends of the respective reports. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">3. The estimates of the Company&#146;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&nbsp;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. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">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&nbsp;31, 2014 attributable to the Company&#146;s interests other than as a result of pricing changes and production since December&nbsp;31, 2014. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">5. I have reviewed the circled reserve information related to certain of the Company&#146;s proved reserves derived from the Reports on pages
attached hereto as Exhibit&nbsp;A from the Company&#146;s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2014 and Exhibit 99.1 and Exhibit 99.2 thereto and from a spreadsheet reconciling such information contained in the Form 10-K
and Exhibit&nbsp;99.1 and Exhibit 99.2 thereto with the Company&#146;s proved reserves contained in the Reports. I confirm that such circled information has been accurately derived from the Reports. </P>

benefits referred to in clause (i)&nbsp;above but also the relative fault of the indemnifying party or parties on the one hand and the indemnified party on the other in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses,
claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the parties 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 on the one hand or such Holder or such other indemnified party, as the case may be, on the other, and the
parties&#146; relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such 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)&nbsp;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 any other provision of this Section&nbsp;5(d), the Holders shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the net proceeds received by such Holders from the sale of the Securities pursuant to a
Registration Statement exceeds the amount of damages which such Holders have 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&nbsp;11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. For purposes of this subsection (d), each person, if any, who controls such
indemnified party within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act shall have the same rights to contribution as such indemnified party and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act or the
Exchange Act shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:4%; text-indent:8%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">(e) The agreements contained in this
Section&nbsp;5 shall survive the sale of the Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement and shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of any termination or cancellation of this Agreement or any investigation made by or on behalf of any
indemnified party. </P>
