ATTACHMENT TO PROOF OF CLAIM OF

Texas Raw Oil & Gas, Inc.

In re Chisholm Oil and Gas Operating, LLC

Case No. 20-11593-BLS

United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware

I. Basis for the Claim

Texas Raw Oil & Gas, Inc. (“Texas Raw”) and Chisholm Oil and Gas Operating, LLC

(“Debtor”) are parties to that certain Joint Operating Agreement (“the Agreement”) concerning

the Chisholm Trail Project consisting of Townships 18N-7W, 18N-8W, 19N-7W, 19N-8W, 20N-

7W & 20N-8W (as more fully described in the Agreement) (the “Contract Area”). Texas Raw

owns extensive working interests and has elected to participate in 14 wells in the Contract Area.

Texas Raw has also elected to go non-consent in certain wells under a payout penalty clause in

the Agreement. Under the Agreement, the Debtor is responsible for the operation of the leases

and wells covered under the Agreement. In addition, the Debtor is responsible for remitting

amounts owed for the operation of the leases and wells, as well as making payments to holders of

royalty, working and other interests under the Agreement (the “Royalty Payments”). The

Royalty Payments encompass amounts due for the sale of oil, gas and plant products1 pursuant to

the Agreement. A true and correct copy of the Agreement is attached hereto as Exhibit A.2

Texas Raw also has pending litigation against the Debtor in the District Court in and for

Kingfisher County State of Oklahoma (the “Action”). The Action is documented under case

number CJ-2018-0085 and concerns, among other claims, a claim of breach of contract regarding

the Agreement that Texas Raw originally filed against Gastar Exploration, Inc. et al. (“Gastar”).

Gastar entered bankruptcy in 2018 and the Action was successfully carved out of that

1 “Plant products” is a term of art describing products extracted from natural gas in the course of processing. 2 Texas Raw acquired its interest in the Agreement from Tri-Tex Capital, LLC.

2

proceeding. The Debtor became party to the Action when Gastar merged with the Debtor. The

Action is currently stayed due to the Debtor’s bankruptcy filing.

On or about June 17, 2020 (the “Petition Date”), the Debtor, and certain of its affiliates

filed voluntary petitions for relief under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code in the United States

Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the “Bankruptcy Cases”). The Bankruptcy Cases

are being jointly administered under Case No. 20-11593 (BLS), captioned In re Chisholm Oil

and Gas Operating, LLC, et al.

On July 14, 2020, the bankruptcy court entered the Final Order Pursuant to 11 U.S.C. §§

105(a) and 363(b) and Fed. R. Bankr. P. 6003 and 6004 (I) Authorizing Debtors to Pay or

Honor (A) Amounts Owed to Interest Owners, (B) Joint Interest Billings, and (C) Other

Operating Expenses and (II) Granting Related Relief [D.I. 160], authorizing the Debtor to make

the Royalty Payments. However, as of this date, Texas Raw has not received any Royalty

Payments under the Agreement since September 2019.

II. Calculation and Classification of the Claim

As of the Petition Date, Texas Raw’s claims against the Debtor (collectively, the “Pre-

petition Claim”), include (i) all damages and other amounts claimed or at issue in the Action, and

(ii) all amounts due under the Agreement and related applicable law, including without limitation

a sum of approximately $100,0003 owed to Texas Raw on account of Royalty Payments pursuant

to oil and gas sales under the Agreement for the period of September 2019 through and including

May 2020. However, the exact amount of the Pre-petition Claim is currently unknown to Texas

Raw as a result of the Debtor refusing to provide monthly statements and other information

necessary to calculate the amount with specificity. In addition, the amount of revenue generated

3 This amount is derived from average Royalty Payments of $12,000/ month for the time period of October 2019

through and including May 2020. In addition, Texas Raw only received approximately one-half of its Royalty

Payments for September 2019.

3

from plant products during this period is unknown to Texas Raw and is not included in this

calculation. In addition, Texas Raw is entitled to 12% interest per annum compounded annually

for the unpaid Royalty Payments pursuant to the Oklahoma Production Revenue Standards Act.

See Okla. Stat. tit. 52, § 570.10 (2020).

The Pre-petition Claim related to the Agreement may be statutorily secured through an

automatic security interest in the oil and gas production and the proceeds therefrom. See Okla.

Stat. tit. 52, §§ 549.1-549.12 (2019). In addition, the Pre-petition Claim related to the

Agreement may be secured by a lien on the Debtor’s oil and gas leases and interests in the

contract area as defined by the Agreement. See Agreement Article VII § B. The Pre-petition

Claim related to the Agreement may further be secured through a security interest or purchase

money security interest in the Debtor’s personal property and fixtures regarding the oil and gas

leases and interest contained in the Agreement. This security interest extends to the personal

property and fixtures owned by the Debtor as of the signing of the Agreement or later acquired.

III. Reservation of Rights

Texas Raw reserves the right to supplement and/or amend this Proof of Claim to include

amounts not stated above, including, without limitation, costs, expenses, attorneys’ fees, and any

other charges or amounts due, as appropriate, under applicable bankruptcy and non-bankruptcy

law. Texas Raw reserves all of its rights and remedies, including, without limitation, the right to

amend this claim from time to time to reflect additional charges, adjustments and the like, due

and payable under the Agreement, as the same become quantified, known or available. Texas

Raw further reserves the right to assert further and other claims, including administrative claims

for post-petition royalties and other payments that are or become due under the Agreement.

4

Texas Raw further reserves the right to amend this Proof of Claim (and any Proof of

Claim that it files, has filed or may file in the Debtor’s bankruptcy case) to make such claim a

secured claim by virtue of Texas Raw’s right to setoff, offset, or recoup the amount thereof under

11 U.S.C. § 533 or otherwise, or to otherwise assert a defense of setoff, offset, and/or

recoupment against any claims, defenses or offsets that the Debtor or any other party may assert

against Texas Raw.

Texas Raw expressly reserves all rights and causes of action, including without

limitation, contingent or unliquidated rights that it may have against the Debtor. The description

of the Pre-petition Claim and the classification thereof herein by Texas Raw is not a concession

or admission as to the correct characterization or treatment of any such claims or a waiver of any

rights of Texas Raw. In executing and filing this proof of claim (the “Proof of Claim”), Texas

Raw does not submit itself to the jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court for any purpose other than

with respect to the Pre-petition Claim against the Debtor and does not waive or release its rights

and remedies against any other person or entity who may be liable for all or part of the Pre-

petition Claim set forth herein, whether an affiliate or subsidiary of the Debtor, an assignee or

otherwise.

Nothing contained in the Proof of Claim nor subsequent appearance, pleading, claim, or

suit is intended to be a waiver or release of: (i) the right of Texas Raw to have final orders in non-

core matters entered only after de novo review by a District Court Judge; (ii) the right of Texas

Raw to a jury trial in any proceeding so triable herein or, in any case, any controversy, or

proceeding related hereto; (iii) the right of Texas Raw to withdraw the reference, assert that the

reference has already been withdrawn, or otherwise challenge the jurisdiction of the Court, with

respect to the subject matter of this Proof of Claim, any objection or other proceeding commenced

5

with respect thereto, or any other proceeding commenced in these cases against or otherwise

involving Texas Raw; (iv) the right of Texas Raw to have any unliquidated portions of its Pre-

petition Claim determined by applicable state courts; or (v) any other rights, claims, actions,

defenses, setoffs, or recoupments to which Texas Raw is or may be entitled under agreements,

documents, or instruments, in law or equity.
