At the expiration of the Owners’ Refusal Period, the Company shall give prompt notice to the Chase Owners, in the event that the Selling Owner is a Holdings Owner, or the Holdings Owners, in the event that the Selling Owner is a Chase Owner, of the Owners’ Expiration Notice.

(ii)Tag-Along Rights. If the Company does not exercise the Company’s Right of First Refusal and the Chase Owners or the Holdings Owner, as applicable, do not exercise the Owners’ Right of Second Refusal and the Owners’ Right of Third Refusal in full, the Selling Owner shall cause the Proposed Purchaser(s) to offer in writing (the “Purchase Offer”) to the other Owners, other than any Chase Owners or Holdings Owners who purchased Disposition Shares pursuant to Section 3(c)(i), (each recipient is referred to as a “Tag-Along Owner”) to purchase a Proportionate Share of the Owner Shares of each Tag-Along Owner. Any such purchase shall be made in accordance with the following:
(A) the purchase from each Tag-Along Owner shall be made at the highest price per share and on such other terms and conditions as the Proposed Purchaser has offered
5
to purchase Disposition Shares from the Selling Owner;
(B) each Tag-Along Owner shall have no more than 20 days from the receipt of the Purchase Offer in which to accept such Purchase Offer, in whole or in part;
(C) to the extent that a Tag-Along Owner accepts such Purchase Offer, the number of Owner Shares to be sold to the Proposed Purchaser by the Selling Owner shall be reduced to the extent necessary to comply with this Section 3; and
(D) the closing of such purchase shall occur within 30 days after such acceptance or at such other time as the Selling Owners, the Tag-Along Owner and the Proposed Purchaser may agree.
(d) Drag-Along Rights. Any time an Owner proposes a Drag-Along Transaction and if such proposed Drag-Along Transaction has been approved by an Owner Majority (any such Drag-Along Transaction approved by an Owner Majority, an “Approved Sale”), then all Owners shall consent to and raise no objections against the Approved Sale, and if the Approved Sale is structured as (i) a merger, share exchange or consolidation of the Company, or a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, each Owner shall vote in favor of the Approved Sale and shall waive any dissenters rights, appraisal rights or similar rights in connection with such merger, consolidation or asset sale, or (ii) a sale of Common Stock, the Owners shall agree to sell all their respective Owner Shares which are the subject of the Approved Sale, on the terms and conditions of such Approved Sale. The Owners shall promptly take all necessary and desirable actions in connection with the consummation of the Approved Sale, including using their reasonable best efforts to obtain Board consent to the Approved Sale and the execution of such agreements and such instruments and other actions reasonably necessary to (A) provide customary representations, warranties, indemnities, and escrow arrangements relating to such Approved Sale and (B) effectuate the allocation and distribution of the aggregate consideration upon the Approved Sale. The Owners shall be permitted to sell their respective Owner Shares pursuant to an Approved Sale without complying with any other provisions of this Section 3. In furtherance of, but only to the extent that an Owner breaches its obligations under, this Section 3(d), each of the Owners hereby (i) irrevocably appoints the designee of the Owner Majority as its agent and attorney-in-fact (the “Agent”) (with full power of substitution) to execute all agreements, instruments and certificates and take all actions necessary or desirable to effectuate any Approved Sale hereunder; and (ii) grants to the Agent a proxy (which shall be deemed to be coupled with an interest and irrevocable) to vote the shares held by such Owner in favor of any Approved Sale hereunder. Furthermore, in connection with an Approved Sale pursuant to this Section 3(d), the Owner Majority shall have the right to require the Company to cooperate fully with potential acquirors of the Company in a prospective transaction pursuant to this Section 3(d) by taking all customary and other actions reasonably requested by such Persons or such potential acquirors, including without limitation, making the Company’s properties, books and records, and other assets reasonably available for inspection by such potential acquirors and making its employees reasonably available for interviews.
(e) Excluded Transfers. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of this Section 3 do not apply to any Transfer by an Owner of his Owner Shares in an Excluded Affiliate Transfer or any Transfer by an Owner of his Owner Shares in connection with the initial sale of shares of the
6
Company’s Common Stock to the public pursuant to a registration statement filed under the Securities Act.
Section 4.Enforcement; Legends. No Owner Shares shall be transferred on the books of the Company nor shall any sale, assignment, transfer, pledge or other disposition thereof be effective unless and until the terms and provisions of this Agreement are first complied with and, in case of violation of this Agreement by the attempted transfer of Owner Shares without compliance with the terms and provisions hereof, such sale, assignment, transfer, pledge or other disposition shall be invalid and of no effect. Each certificate representing Owner Shares held by the shall bear a legend containing the following words (in addition to any other legend required by applicable law to be set forth on any certificate representing such Owner Shares) and such legend shall be removed from the certificates evidencing any shares which cease to be “Owner Shares,” as set forth in the definition of such term in Section 2 hereof:
“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO THE TERMS OF THAT CERTAIN STOCKHOLDERS’ AGREEMENT, DATED AS OF FEBRUARY 27, 2006, BY AND AMONG CONCHO RESOURCES INC. (THE “COMPANY”) AND CERTAIN STOCKHOLDERS OF THE COMPANY. COPIES OF SUCH AGREEMENT MAY BE OBTAINED AT NO COST BY WRITTEN REQUEST MADE BY THE HOLDER OF RECORD OF THIS CERTIFICATE TO THE SECRETARY OF THE COMPANY.”
Section 5.New Issuances of Shares. Any person that acquires shares of Common Stock prior to the Company’s initial public offering of its securities, shall be required to become a party to this Agreement, by executing a signature page hereto and by delivering a copy thereof to the Company.
Section 6.Right of First Offer on Subsequent Issuances.
(a) General. Each Owner has the right to purchase up to such Owner’s Pro Rata Share, of all or any part of any New Securities that the Company may from time to time issue after the date of this Agreement, provided such Owner is an Accredited Investor at the time of such issuance.
(b) Procedures. In the event that the Company proposes to undertake an issuance of New Securities, it shall give to each Owner written notice of its intention to issue New Securities (the “Rights Notice”), describing the type of New Securities and the price and the general terms upon which the Company proposes to issue such New Securities. Each Owner shall have 15 days from the date of receipt of any such Rights Notice to agree in writing to purchase up to such Owner’s Pro Rata Share of such New Securities for the price and upon the general terms specified in the Rights Notice by giving written notice to the Company and stating therein the quantity of New Securities to be purchased (not to exceed such Owner’s Pro Rata Share) and representing to the Company that such Owner is an Accredited Investor. If any Owner fails to so agree and represent in writing within such 15 day period to purchase such Owner’s full Pro Rata Share of an offering of New Securities (a “Nonpurchasing Holder”), then such Nonpurchasing Holder shall forfeit the right hereunder to purchase that part of his Pro Rata Share of such New Securities that he did not so agree to purchase and the Company shall promptly give each Owner who has timely agreed to purchase his full Pro
7
Rata Share of such offering of New Securities (a “Purchasing Holder”) written notice of the failure of any Nonpurchasing Holder to purchase such Nonpurchasing Holder’s full Pro Rata Share of such offering of New Securities (the “Overallotment Notice”). Each Purchasing Holder shall have a right of overallotment such that such Purchasing Holder may agree to purchase a portion of the Nonpurchasing Holders’ unpurchased Pro Rata Shares of such offering on a pro rata basis according to the relative Pro Rata Shares of the Purchasing Holders, at any time within 15 days after receiving the Overallotment Notice.
(c) Failure to Exercise. In the event that the Owners fail to exercise in full the right of first offer within such 15 plus 15 day period, then the Company shall have 60 days thereafter to sell the New Securities with respect to which the Owners’ rights of first offer hereunder were not exercised, at a price and upon general terms not more favorable to the purchasers thereof than specified in the Company’s Notice to the Owners. In the event that the Company has not issued and sold the New Securities within such 60 day period, then the Company shall not thereafter issue or sell any New Securities without again first offering such New Securities to the Owners pursuant to this Section 6.
(d) Waiver. Any provision of this Section 6 may be amended and the observance thereof may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively), upon the written consent of an Owner Majority. Any amendment or waiver effected in accordance with this Section 6(d) shall be binding upon each Owner and the Company.
Section 7.Auction Right.
(a) If, prior to March 1, 2010, the Company has not completed an initial public offering of shares of its Common Stock pursuant to a registration statement filed under the Securities Act, then the holders of at least 25% of the Owner Shares (the “Initiating Owners”) may solicit bids from bona fide third-party acquirors regarding the sale of the Company (an “Auction”).
(b) If, pursuant to the Auction, the Company receives a bid from a bona fide third-party acquiror with terms and at a valuation acceptable to the Initiating Owners, and an investment banking firm with an industry-wide recognized mergers and acquisitions advisory business among exploration and production companies (the “Advisor”) is willing to deliver to the Company an opinion that the consideration set forth in such bid is fair to the Owners from a financial point of view (the “Approved Transaction”), then all of the Owners shall consent to, raise no objections to and take all other necessary actions to consummate the Approved Transaction. Without limiting the generality of the preceding sentence, the Owners shall promptly take all necessary and desirable actions in connection with the consummation of the Approved Transaction, including, without limitation, the execution and delivery of such agreements and instruments and the taking of all other actions necessary or desirable to (A) provide customary representations, warranties, indemnities, and escrow arrangements relating to such Approved Transaction and (B) effectuate the allocation and distribution of the aggregate consideration upon the Approved Transaction.

8
desirable to effectuate any Approved Transaction hereunder; and (ii) granted to the Auction Agent a proxy (which shall be deemed to be coupled with an interest and irrevocable) to vote the shares held by such Owner in favor of any Approved Transaction hereunder.

(iii) the response by the Company to inquiries from the Advisor and/or prospective purchasers in a reasonably prompt manner.
(f) The Owners shall be permitted to sell their respective Owner Shares pursuant to an Approved Transaction without complying with Section 3.
(g) Nothing contained herein shall prohibit any Owner from participating as a “bona fide third-party acquiror” under this Section 7 (the “Owner Bidder”); provided, however, that if the Approved Transaction does not result from a bid from the Owner Bidder, then the Owner Bidder shall nonetheless comply with this Section 7.

Section 3. Registration Rights.
3.1 Request for Registration.
(a) If the Company shall receive at any time after the earlier of (i) a Qualified Public Offering or (ii) nine (9) months after the closing date of the Combination Agreement, subject toSection 3.11, a written request from the Requisite Chase Holders or the Requisite Holdings Holders that the Company file a registration statement under the Securities Act covering the registration of Registrable Securities with an anticipated aggregate offering price, net of underwriting discounts and commissions, exceeding $50,000,000, then the Company shall:
(i) within ten (10) days of the receipt thereof, give written notice of such request to all Holders;
(ii) as soon as reasonably practicable, file a registration statement under the Securities Act covering all Registrable Securities which the Holders request to be registered, which request shall be given within fifteen (15) days after mailing of the notice of the Company made in accordance withsubsection 3.1(a)(i), subject to the limitations ofsubsection 3.1(b); and
(iii) use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to be declared effective by the SEC as soon as practicable after the initial filing thereof.
All requests made pursuant to this Section 3 will specify the amount of Registrable Securities to be registered and the intended methods of disposition thereof.
(b) If the Initiating Holders intend to distribute the Registrable Securities covered by their request by means of an underwriting, they shall so advise the Company as a part of their request made pursuant tosubsection 3.1(a) and the Company shall
3
include such information in the written notice referred to insubsection 3.1(a). The underwriter will be selected by the Company. In such event, the right of any Holder to include such Holder’s Registrable Securities in such registration shall be conditioned upon such Holder’s participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of such Holder’s Registrable Securities in the underwriting to the extent provided herein. All Holders proposing to distribute their securities through such underwriting shall (together with the Company as provided insubsection 3.3(d)) enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriter or underwriters selected for such underwriting. Notwithstanding any other provision of thisSection 3.1, if the underwriter advises the Initiating Holders in writing that marketing factors require a limitation of the number of shares to be underwritten, then the Initiating Holders shall so advise all Holders of Registrable Securities which would otherwise be underwritten pursuant hereto, and the number of shares of Registrable Securities that may be included in the underwriting shall be allocated among all Holders of Registrable Securities, including the Initiating Holders, in proportion (as nearly as practicable) to the number of Registrable Securities of the Company owned by each Holder. To facilitate the allocation of shares in accordance with the above provisions, the Company or the underwriters may round the number of shares allocated to any Holder to the nearest 100 shares.
(c) The Company shall not be obligated to effect, or to take any action to effect, any registration
(i) more than one time in any six month period; or
(ii) in any particular jurisdiction in which the Company would be required to execute a general consent to service of process in effecting such registration, unless the Company is already subject to service in such jurisdiction and except as may be required under the Securities Act.
(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company shall furnish to Holders requesting a registration statement pursuant to thisSection 3.1 a certificate signed by the Chief Executive Officer of the Company stating that in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors of the Company it would be materially detrimental to the Company and its stockholders for such registration statement to be filed and it is therefore necessary to defer the filing of such registration statement, the Company shall have the right to defer taking action with respect to such filing for a period of not more than ninety (90) days after receipt of the request of the Initiating Holders.
3.2Company Registration. If the Company proposes to register (including for this purpose a registration effected by the Company for stockholders other than the Holders) any of its stock or other securities under the Securities Act in connection with the public offering of such securities by the Company solely for cash (other than a registration statement relating either to the sale of securities to employees of the Company pursuant to a stock option, stock purchase or similar plan or an SEC Rule 145 transaction, a registration on any form which does not include substantially the same information as would be required to be included in a registration statement covering the sale of the Registrable Securities, a registration statement on which the only Common Stock being registered is Common Stock issuable upon conversion of debt
4
securities which are also being registered, or a shelf registration on Form S-3), the Company shall, at such time, promptly give each Holder written notice of such registration. Upon the written request of each Holder given within twenty (20) days after mailing of such notice by the Company in accordance withSection 6, the Company shall, subject to the provisions ofSection 3.7, cause to be registered under the Securities Act all of the Registrable Securities that each such Holder has requested to be registered. The Company shall have the right to terminate or withdraw any registration initiated by it under thisSection 3.2 prior to the effectiveness of such registration whether or not any Holder has elected to include securities in such registration. The expenses of such withdrawn registration shall be borne by the Company in accordance withSection 3.6 hereof.
3.3Obligations of the Company. Whenever required under thisSection 3 to effect the registration of any Registrable Securities, the Company shall, as soon as reasonably practicable,
(a) prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement with respect to such Registrable Securities and use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective, and, upon the request of the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities registered thereunder, keep such registration statement effective for a period of up to one hundred twenty (120) days or, if earlier, until the distribution contemplated in the Registration Statement has been completed;
(b) prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection with such registration statement as may be necessary to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such registration statement;
(c) furnish to the Holders such numbers of copies of a prospectus, including a preliminary prospectus, in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act, and such other documents as they may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of Registrable Securities owned by them;
(d) in the event of any underwritten public offering, enter into and perform its obligations under an underwriting agreement, in usual and customary form, with the managing underwriter of such offering. Each Holder participating in such underwriting shall also enter into and perform its obligations under such an agreement;
(e) cause all such Registrable Securities registered pursuant to this Agreement hereunder to be listed on a national securities exchange or trading system and each securities exchange and trading system on which similar securities issued by the Company are then listed;
(f) provide a transfer agent and registrar for all Registrable Securities registered pursuant hereunder and a CUSIP number for all such Registrable Securities, in each case not later than the effective date of such registration statement;
(g) use its reasonable commercial efforts to furnish, at the request of any Holder requesting registration of Registrable Securities pursuant to thisSection 3, on the
5
date on which such Registrable Securities are sold to the underwriter, (i) an opinion, dated such date, of the counsel representing the Company for the purposes of such registration, in form and substance as is customarily given to underwriters in an underwritten public offering, addressed to the underwriters, if any, and (ii) a “comfort” letter dated such date, from the independent certified public accountants of the Company, in form and substance as is customarily given by independent certified public accountants to underwriters in an underwritten public offering, addressed to the underwriters, if any.
3.4Furnish Information. It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of the Company to take any action pursuant to thisSection 3 with respect to the Registrable Securities of any selling Holder that such Holder shall furnish to the Company such information regarding itself, the Registrable Securities held by it, and the intended method of disposition of such securities as shall be reasonably required to effect the registration of such Holder’s Registrable Securities.
3.5Expenses of Demand Registration. All expenses, other than underwriting discounts and commissions and the fees of counsel for such Holders incurred in connection with registrations, filings or qualifications pursuant toSection 3.1, including (without limitation) all registration, filing and qualification fees, printers’ and accounting fees, fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company shall be borne by the Company.
3.6Expenses of Company Registration. The Company shall bear and pay all expenses incurred in connection with any registration, filing or qualification of Registrable Securities with respect to the registrations pursuant toSection 3.2 hereof for each Holder (which right may be assigned as provided inSection 3.10 hereof), including (without limitation) all registration, filing, and qualification fees, printers and accounting fees relating or apportionable thereto, but excluding underwriting discounts and commissions relating to Registrable Securities.
3.7Underwriting Requirements. In connection with any offering involving an underwriting of shares of the Company’s capital stock pursuant toSection 3.2, the Company shall not be required to include any of the Holders’ securities in such underwriting unless they accept the terms of the underwriting as agreed upon between the Company and its underwriters, and then only in such quantity as the underwriters determine in their sole discretion will not jeopardize the success of the offering by the Company. If the total number of securities, including Registrable Securities, requested by stockholders to be included in such offering exceeds the amount of securities to be sold other than by the Company that the underwriters determine in their reasonable discretion is compatible with the success of the offering, then the Company shall be required to include in the offering only that number of such securities, including Registrable Securities, which the underwriters and the Company determine in their sole discretion will not jeopardize the success of the offering. In the event that the underwriters determine that less than all of the Registrable Securities requested to be registered can be included in such offering, then the Registrable Securities that are included in such offering shall be apportioned pro rata among the selling Holders based on the number of Registrable Securities held by all selling stockholders participating in such offering or in such other proportions as shall mutually be agreed to by all such selling Holders.
6
3.8Delay of Registration/Effectiveness.
(a) No Holder shall have any right to obtain or seek an injunction restraining or otherwise delaying any registration pursuant to this Agreement as the result of any controversy that might arise with respect to the interpretation or implementation of thisSection 3.
(b) The Company will notify the Holders requesting registration pursuant to this Agreement, at any time when a prospectus relating to the requisite registration statement is required to be delivered under the Securities Act (within the period that the Company is required to keep such registration statement effective), of the happening of any event as a result of which the prospectus included in the requisite registration statement (as then in effect) contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact required to be stated in the prospectus or that is necessary to make the statements in the prospectus, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading. The Company will prepare (and, as soon as reasonably practicable, file) a supplement or amendment to that prospectus so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of those securities covered by such registration statement, that prospectus will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated in the prospectus or that is necessary to make the statements in the prospectus, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading. However, if the Board of Directors of the Company determines in its good faith judgment that filing any supplement or amendment to such registration statement to keep such registration statement available for use by such Holders for resales of the securities covered by such registration statement would require the Company to disclose material information that the Company has a bona fide business purpose for preserving as confidential, then, upon the Company’s notice to each Holder (the “Suspension Notice”), the Company’s obligation to supplement or amend such registration statement will be suspended. That suspension will remain in effect until the Company notifies such Holders in writing that the reasons for suspending those obligations no longer exist and the Company amends or supplements such registration statement as may be required. As soon as a Holder receives a Suspension Notice from the Company under thisSection 3.8(b), that Holder will immediately discontinue disposing of securities covered by such registration statement until that Holder receives copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus referred to in thisSection 3.8(b). At the Company’s request, each Holder will deliver to the Company all copies of the prospectus covering such securities current at the time of that request.
3.9Indemnification. In the event any Registrable Securities are included in a registration statement under thisSection 3:
(a) To the extent permitted by law, the Company will indemnify and hold harmless each Holder, the partners, members, officers, directors and stockholders of each Holder, legal counsel and accountants for each Holder, any underwriter (as defined in the Securities Act) for such Holder and each person, if any, who controls such Holder or underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, against any Violation and the Company will pay to each such Holder, underwriter, controlling person

or other aforementioned person, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability, or action as such expenses are incurred;provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in thissubsection 3.9(a) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability, or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), nor shall the Company be liable in any such case for any such loss, claim, damage, liability, or action to the extent that it arises out of or is based upon a Violation which occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished expressly for use in connection with such registration by any such Holder, underwriter, controlling person or other aforementioned person.
(b) To the extent permitted by law, each selling Holder will severally and not jointly indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who has signed the registration statement, each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act, legal counsel and accountants for the Company, any underwriter, any other Holder selling securities in such registration statement and any controlling person of any such underwriter or other Holder, against any losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (joint or several) to which any of the foregoing persons may become subject, under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other federal or state law, insofar as such losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (or actions in respect thereto) arise out of or are based upon any Violation, in each case to the extent (and only to the extent) that such Violation occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by such Holder expressly for use in connection with such registration statement; and each such Holder will pay any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by any person intended to be indemnified pursuant to thissubsection 3.9(b), in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability, or action;provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in thissubsection 3.9(b) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Holder, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided, further, that, in no event shall any indemnity under thissubsection 3.9(b) exceed the net proceeds from the offering received by such Holder, except in the case of fraud or willful misconduct by such Holder.
(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under thisSection 3.9 of notice of the commencement of any action (including any governmental action), such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under thisSection 3.9, deliver to the indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof and the indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent the indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly noticed, to assume the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the parties;provided, however, that an indemnified party (together with all other indemnified parties which may be represented without conflict by one counsel) shall have the right to retain one separate counsel, with the fees and expenses to be paid by the indemnifying party, if representation of such indemnified party by the counsel retained by the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to
8
actual or potential differing interests between such indemnified party and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. The failure to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action, if prejudicial to its ability to defend such action, shall relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the indemnified party under thisSection 3.9, but the omission so to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party will not relieve it of any liability that it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under thisSection 3.9.
(d) In order to provide for just and equitable contribution to joint liability under the Securities Act in any case in which either (i) any Holder exercising rights under this Agreement, or any controlling person of any such Holder, makes a claim for indemnification pursuant to thisSection 3.9 but it is judicially determined (by the entry of a final judgment or decree by a court of competent jurisdiction and the expiration of time to appeal or the denial of the last right of appeal) that such indemnification may not be enforced in such case notwithstanding the fact that thisSection 3.9 provides for indemnification in such case, or (ii) contribution under the Securities Act may be required on the part of any such selling Holder or any such controlling person in circumstances for which indemnification is provided under thisSection 3.9, then, and in each such case, the Company and such Holder will contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which they may be subject (after contribution from others) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one hand and of the indemnified party on the other in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such loss, liability, claim, damage, or expense as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and of the indemnified party 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 indemnifying party or by the indemnified party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information, and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission;providedhowever, that, in any such case, (I) no such Holder will be required to contribute any amount in excess of the public offering price of all such Registrable Securities offered and sold by such Holder pursuant to such registration statement, and (II) no person or entity guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) will be entitled to contribution from any person or entity who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation; provided further, that in no event shall a Holder’s liability pursuant to thisSection 3.9(d), when combined with the amounts paid or payable by such holder pursuant toSection 3.9(b), exceed the proceeds from the offering (net of any underwriting discounts or commissions) received by such Holder, except in the case of willful fraud by such Holder.
(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that the provisions on indemnification and contribution contained in the underwriting agreement entered into in connection with the underwritten public offering are in conflict with the foregoing provisions, the provisions in the underwriting agreement shall control.
(f) Unless otherwise superseded by an underwriting agreement entered into in connection with the underwritten public offering, the obligations of the Company and
9
Holders under thisSection 3.9 shall survive the completion of any offering of Registrable Securities in a registration statement under thisSection 3, and shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
3.10Assignment of Registration Rights. The rights to cause the Company to register Registrable Securities pursuant to thisSection 3 may be assigned (but only with all related obligations) by a Holder to a transferee or assignee of such securities that (i) is a subsidiary, Affiliate, parent, partner, member, limited partner, retired partner, retired member or stockholder of a Holder or (ii) is a Holder’s family member or trust for the benefit of an individual Holder, provided: (a) the Company is, within a reasonable time after such transfer, furnished with written notice of the name and address of such transferee or assignee and the securities with respect to which such registration rights are being assigned; (b) such transferee or assignee agrees in writing to be bound by and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including without limitation the provisions ofSection 3.11 below; and (c) such assignment shall be effective only if immediately following such transfer the further disposition of such securities by the transferee or assignee is restricted under the Securities Act.

Each Holder hereby agrees that it will not, without the prior written consent of the managing underwriter, during the period commencing on the date of the final prospectus relating to the Company’s IPO and ending on the date specified by the Company and the managing underwriter (such period not to exceed l80 days) (i) lend, offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any shares of Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock (whether such shares or any such securities are then owned by the Holder or are thereafter acquired) held immediately prior to the effectiveness of the Registration Statement for such offering, or (ii) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the Common Stock, whether any such transaction described in clause (i) or (ii) above is to be settled by delivery of Common Stock or other securities, in cash or otherwise. The foregoing provisions of thisSection 3.11 shall apply only to the Company’s IPO, shall not apply to the sale of any shares to an underwriter pursuant to an underwriting agreement, and shall only be applicable to the Holders if all officers, directors and greater than five percent stockholders of the Company enter into similar agreements. The underwriters in connection with the Company’s IPO are intended third-party beneficiaries of thisSection 3.11 and shall have the right, power and authority to enforce the provisions hereof as though they were a party hereto. Each Holder further agrees to execute such agreements as may be reasonably requested by the underwriters in the Company’s IPO that are consistent with thisSection 3.11 or that are necessary to give further effect thereto.
3.12Termination of Registration Rights. No Holder shall be entitled to exercise any right provided for in thisSection 3 after ten years following the consummation of the IPO.
Section 4.Amendments and Waivers. This Agreement may be amended and the Company may take any action herein prohibited or omit to perform any act herein required to be performed by it, only if the Company shall have obtained the written consent to such amendment, action or omission to act, of the Requisite Chase Holders and the Requisite Holdings
10
Holders. The Holders of any Registrable Securities at the time or thereafter outstanding shall be bound by any consent authorized by thisSection 4, whether or not such Registrable Securities shall have been marked to indicate such consent.
Section 5.Nominees for Beneficial Holders. In the event that any Registrable Securities are held by a nominee for the beneficial owner thereof, the beneficial owner thereof may, at its election, be treated as the holder of such Registrable Securities for purposes of this Agreement. If the beneficial owner of any Registrable Securities so elects, the Company may require assurances reasonably satisfactory to it of such owner’s beneficial ownership of such Registrable Securities.
Section 6.Notices. All communications provided for hereunder shall be personally delivered or sent by facsimile, registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, or reputable overnight courier service (providing next business day service) and (a) if addressed to any Holder, to the address set forth opposite such Holder’s name on the counterpart signature page to this Agreement or such other address specified in writing by such Holder upon its receipt of Registrable Securities, or (b) if addressed to the Company, at 550 West Texas Avenue, Suite 1300, Midland, Texas 79701, Attn: President, Facsimile: (432) 683-7441, or at such other address, or to the attention of such other officer, as the Company shall have furnished to the Holders at the time outstanding;provided, however, that any such communication to the Company may also, at the option of any Holder, be either delivered to the Company at its address set forth above or to any officer of the Company.
Section 7.Transfers, Successors and Assigns. The terms and conditions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the respective successors and assigns of the parties. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer upon any party other than the parties hereto or their respective successors and assigns any rights, remedies, obligations, or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement, except as expressly provided in this Agreement.
Section 8.Effectiveness; Termination. This Agreement shall become effective only upon consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Combination Agreement, and shall terminate if the Combination Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms. After this Agreement becomes effective, this Agreement shall terminate when no Registrable Securities remain outstanding.
Section 9.Descriptive Headings. The descriptive headings of the several sections and paragraphs of this Agreement are inserted for reference only and shall not limit or otherwise affect the meaning hereof.
Section 10.Specific Performance. The parties hereto recognize and agree that money damages may be insufficient to compensate the Holders for breaches by the Company of the terms hereof and, consequently, that the equitable remedy of specific performance of the terms hereof will be available in the event of any such breach.
Section 11.Cost of Enforcement. If any Party to this Agreement seeks to enforce its rights under this Agreement by legal proceedings, the non-prevailing Party shall pay all costs and
11
expenses incurred by the prevailing Party, including, without limitation, all reasonable attorneys’ fees.
Section 12.Severability. The invalidity of unenforceability of any provision hereof shall in no way affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision.
Section 13.Aggregation of Stock. All shares of Registrable Securities held or acquired by Affiliates shall be aggregated together for the purpose of determining the availability of any rights under this Agreement.

Section 16.Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed simultaneously in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute one and the same instrument.
Section 17.Delays or Omissions. No delay or omission to exercise any right, power or remedy accruing to any party under this Agreement, upon any breach or default of any other party under this Agreement, shall impair any such right, power or remedy of such non-breaching or non-defaulting party nor shall it be construed to be a waiver of any such breach or default, or an acquiescence therein, or of or in any similar breach or default thereafter occurring; nor shall any waiver of any single breach or default be deemed a waiver of any other breach or default theretofore or thereafter occurring. Any waiver, permit, consent or approval of any kind or character on the part of any party of any breach or default under this Agreement, or any waiver on the part of any party of any provisions or conditions of this Agreement, must be in writing and shall be effective only to the extent specifically set forth in such writing. All remedies, either under this Agreement or by law or otherwise afforded to any party, shall be cumulative and not alternative.

Exhibit 5.6 (d)
BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES AGREEMENT
This BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated as of February 27, 2006, and is entered into by and among Concho Resources Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), the parties to this Agreement listed onExhibit A hereto (each a “Designated Party” and collectively the “Designated Parties”).
RECITALS
A. This Agreement is being executed and delivered pursuant to that certain Combination Agreement, dated February 24, 2006 (the “Combination Agreement”) by and among the Company, certain of the Designated Parties and the other parties thereto, pursuant to which Concho Equity Holdings Corp., a Delaware corporation, will become a subsidiary of the Company, and the Company will acquire certain oil and gas exploration and production assets located in Southeast New Mexico (the “Combination”).
B. The Company believes that it and its stockholders (the “Stockholders”) will benefit from the Combination and that the Combination is in its best interest and in the best interest of the Stockholders. The Designated Parties to be a party thereto, however, are unwilling to enter into the Combination Agreement unless the Company enters into this Agreement because each of the Designated Parties engages, directly or indirectly, in the E&P Business. The businesses in which the Designated Parties engage are similar to those in which the Company will engage following the Combination.
C. In recognition that certain Designated Parties may engage, directly or indirectly, in the same or similar activities or lines of business and have an interest in the same or similar areas of business, and in recognition of the benefits to be derived by the Company through its continued contractual, corporate and business relations with each Designated Party (including services of employees, officers and directors of each Designated Party as directors and officers of the Company), this Agreement is set forth to regulate and define the conduct of certain affairs of the Company as they may involve each Designated Party, and as applicable, its employees, officers and directors, and the powers, rights, duties, liabilities, interests and expectancies of the Company in connection therewith.
D. The law relating to duties that certain Designated Parties may owe to the Company is not clear. The application of such law to particular circumstances is often difficult to predict, and, if a court were to hold that any Designated Party breached any such duty, such Designated Party could be held liable for damages in a legal action brought on behalf of the Company.
E. In order to induce the Designated Parties to enter into the Combination Agreement or serve as directors of the Company, as applicable, the Company is willing to enter into this Agreement, pursuant to Section 122 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, in order to renounce, effective upon the consummation of the Combination, any interest or expectancy it may have in the classes or categories of business opportunities specified herein that are presented to or identified by any Designated Party, as more fully described herein. As a result of this Agreement, each Designated Party, as applicable, may continue to conduct his or its business and to pursue certain business opportunities without an obligation to offer such opportunities to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, and any Designated Party, as applicable,
may continue to discharge his responsibilities as a director or employee of such Designated Party or any company in which such Designated Party has an interest.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, the mutual covenants, rights, and obligations set forth in this Agreement, and the benefits to be derived herefrom, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and the sufficiency of which each of the undersigned acknowledges and confesses, the undersigned agree as follows:
1.Renouncement of Business Opportunities. The Company hereby renounces any interest or expectancy in any business opportunity, transaction or other matter in which any Designated Party participates or desires or seeks to participate in and that involves any aspect of the E&P Business (each, a “Business Opportunity”) other than a Business Opportunity that (i) is first presented to a Designated Party solely in such person’s capacity as a director or officer of the Company or its Subsidiaries and with respect to which, at the time off such presentment, no other Designated Party (other than a Nominee) has independently received notice or otherwise identified such Business Opportunity or (ii) is identified by a Designated Party solely through the disclosure of information by or on behalf of the Company (each Business Opportunity other than those referred to in clauses (i) or (ii) are referred to as a “Renounced Business Opportunity”). No Designated Party, including any Nominee, shall have any obligation to communicate or offer any Renounced Business Opportunity to the Company, and any Designated Party may pursue a Renounced Business Opportunity, provided that such Renounced Business Opportunity is conducted by such Designated Party in accordance with the standard set forth in Section 2. The Company shall not be prohibited from pursuing any Business Opportunity with respect to which it has renounced any interest or expectancy as a result of this Section 1. Nothing in this Section 1 shall be construed to allow any director to usurp a Business Opportunity of the Company or its Subsidiaries solely for his or her personal benefit.
2.Standards for Separate Conduct of Renounced Business Opportunities. In the event that a Designated Party acquires knowledge of a Renounced Business Opportunity, such Designated Party may pursue such Renounced Business Opportunity if such Renounced Business Opportunity is developed and pursued solely through the use of personnel and assets of the Designated Party (including, as applicable, such Designated Party in his capacity as a director, officer, employee or agent of the Designated Party).
3.Liability. Provided a Renounced Business Opportunity is conducted by a Designated Party in accordance with the standards set forth in Section 2 hereof, no Designated Party shall be liable to the Company or a Stockholder for breach of any fiduciary or other duty by reason of such Renounced Business Opportunity. In addition, no Designated Party shall be liable to the Company or a Stockholder for breach of any fiduciary duty as a director or controlling Stockholder, as applicable, by reason of the fact that such Designated Party conducts, pursues or acquires such Renounced Business Opportunity for itself, directs such Renounced Business Opportunity to another Person or does not communicate information regarding such Renounced Business Opportunity to the Company.
4.Disclosing Conflicts of Interest. Should any director of the Company have actual knowledge that he or his Affiliates is pursuing a Renounced Business Opportunity also pursued by the Company, he shall disclose to the Company’s board of directors that he may have a
2
conflict of interest, so that the board of directors may consider his withdrawal from discussions in board deliberations, as appropriate.
5.Interpretation
(a) For purposes of this Agreement, “Designated Parties” shall include all Subsidiaries and Affiliates of each Designated Party (other than the Company and its Subsidiaries).
(b) As used in this Agreement, the following definitions shall apply:
(i) “Affiliate” means with respect to a specified person, a person that directly, or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls, or is controlled by, or is under common control with, the person specified, and any directors, officers, partners or 5% or more owners of such person.
(ii) “E&P Business” means the oil and gas exploration, exploitation, development and production business and includes without limitation (a) the ownership of oil and gas property interests (including working interests, mineral fee interests and royalty and overriding royalty interests), (b) the ownership and operation of real and personal property used or useful in connection with exploration for Hydrocarbons, development of Hydrocarbon reserves upon discovery thereof and production of Hydrocarbons from wells located on oil and gas properties and (c) debt of or equity interests in corporations, partnerships or other entities engaged in the exploration for Hydrocarbons, the development of Hydrocarbon reserves and the production and sale of Hydrocarbons.
(iii) “Nominee” means any officer, director, employee or other agent of any Designated Party who serves as a director (including Chairman of the Board) or officer of the Company or its Subsidiaries.
(iv) “Hydrocarbons” means oil, gas or other liquid or gaseous hydrocarbons or other minerals produced from oil and gas wells.
(v) “Person” means an individual, corporation, partnership, limited liability company, trust, joint venture, unincorporated organization or other legal or business entity.
(vi) “Subsidiary” or “Subsidiaries” shall mean, with respect to any Person, any other Person the majority of the voting securities of which are owned, directly or indirectly, by such first Person.
6. Miscellaneous.
(a) The provisions of this Agreement shall terminate and be of no further force and effect at such time as no Designated Party serves as a director (including Chairman of the Board) or officer of the Company or its Subsidiaries.
3
(b) This Agreement does not prohibit or impact the Company’s ability to participate in any Business Opportunity.
(c) This Agreement may be signed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed an original, and such counterparts together shall constitute one instrument. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to conflicts of laws principles.

Exhibit 5.6 (e)
CONTRACT OPERATOR AGREEMENT
This CONTRACT OPERATOR AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”), dated February 24, 2006, between COG Operating LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“COG”), acting for itself and COG Oil & Gas LP, a Texas limited partnership (“COG LP”), each with a mailing address of 550 W. Texas Avenue, Suite 1300, Midland, Texas 79701, (COG and COG LP, collectively herein, “Owner”), and Mack Energy Corporation, a New Mexico corporation, with a mailing address of P.O. Box 960, Artesia, New Mexico 88211, (“Contract Operator”).
WHEREAS, COG shall be the operator of record of certain operated oil and gas properties described in Exhibit A attached hereto (the “Properties” or “Contract Area”) to be conveyed to it by Chase Oil Corporation, Casa Energy LLC, and other working interest owners pursuant to the Combination Agreement dated February 24, 2006;
WHEREAS, Contract Operator is actively engaged in and has extensive experience in the business of operating oil and gas properties and Owner desires to engage Contract Operator to provide certain contracted services with respect to the operation of the Properties;
NOW, THEREFORE, IN CONSIDERATION of the mutual covenants contained in this agreement, the parties agree as follows:
1. Operations To Be Performed. If and to the extent that Owner operates any of the Properties pursuant to an existing operating agreement or other agreement (“Existing Operating Agreement”) relating to the operation or management of any of the Properties, Contract Operator shall perform all the duties and obligations of Owner in its capacity as operator of record under such Existing Operating Agreements for Owner as such operator and the services set forth herein in compliance with the terms of the Existing Operating Agreement, except for those duties that this Agreement expressly provides the Owner shall continue to perform in its capacity as
operator of record, including without limitation, those set forth in Section 6 (a). If any Existing Operating Agreement imposes obligations on the Owner that are different from those contained in this Agreement, Contract Operator shall be obligated to perform in accordance with whichever agreement imposes the greater obligations on an operator without breaching such Existing Operating Agreement. Contract Operator shall perform all operations, duties and activities of an operator necessary and customary in the oil and gas industry in operating the wells currently located and hereafter drilled upon the Properties including, without limitation, the following:
(a) | Obtain any and all licenses, registrations, permits, and approvals required to act as the contract operator for Owner; provided that any drilling permits will be obtained by Contract Operator in the name of Owner. | ||
(b) | Manage and oversee the day-to-day operation of each of the Properties, including, without limitation, operation and management of existing wells (including pumping services), structures, equipment and facilities associated with each Property. Contract Operator shall give prior notice to and obtain consent from Owner for any individual operation or service that Contract Operator reasonably expects will cost in excess of $75,000.00, except that such prior notice shall not be required for emergency operations necessary for the protection of the public safety and health or the environment. Contract Operator shall promptly report any such emergency operations to Owner and other interest owners subject to the terms of any Existing Operating Agreement. | ||
(c) | Conduct drilling, testing, fracture stimulation, completion, abandonment, site restoration, recompletion and repair operations pursuant to Sections 2 and 3 of this Agreement. | ||
(d) | Supervise subcontractors, suppliers, vendors and any other contract personnel as required to perform and fully satisfy its obligations under this Agreement. | ||
(e) | Monitor production from the Properties and, upon request by Owner, prepare and submit any forms or reports as required by Owner or any applicable federal, state, or local regulatory agency. | ||
(f) | Upon request by Owner, prepare all necessary tax forms and returns as required by any applicable federal, state or local regulatory agency, including conservation, severance and ad valorem tax returns. These forms and returns shall be promptly submitted to Owner for payment and filing. | ||
(g) | Review and comply with all Existing Operating Agreements, and, upon Owner’s request, perform all administrative duties thereunder, including the preparation |
2
on behalf of Owner of AFEs as required by the Existing Operating Agreements and delivery of such AFEs to Owner for approval and submission to other owners.
(h) | Upon Owner’s request, maintain and physically store any necessary files, including well files, production files, lease files, and vendor files. | ||
(i) | Upon Owner’s request, continuously monitor production and expense histories of the Properties and make timely and appropriate recommendations to Owner to enhance revenue, reduce costs, increase production from producing wells and/or abandon certain Properties. | ||
(j) | Comply with any and all federal, state and local laws, rules and regulations (“Laws”) applicable to the Properties. In the event of noncompliance with the Laws, immediately notify Owner and, in consultation with Owner, take whatever steps reasonably necessary to bring the subject Property into compliance. | ||
(k) | Perform any other reasonable services requested by Owner with respect to the operation, management and administration of the Properties. |
2. Operations – Above the Top of the Pennsylvanian Age Formations. Contract Operator shall conduct drilling operations on the Properties drilled or proposed to be drilled to a depth above the top of the Pennsylvanian Age Formations, as follows:
(a) | Owner shall retain and contract with drilling contractors and any other third-party contractors, including any of Contract Operator’s Affiliates, which provide labor, materials, or services in connection with Contract Operator’s performance hereunder. Contract Operator may make recommendations to Owner regarding specific third-party service providers and vendors, including Contract Operator’s Affiliates, but Owner shall have sole authority to retain service providers and vendors; provided, however, that due consideration shall be given Contract Operator’s Affiliates if their costs for services or materials are equal to or less than the costs for such services or materials offered by other service providers and vendors. Third-party invoices for activities hereunder shall be submitted to Owner c/o Contract Operator at the address specified in Section 9 of this Agreement. | ||
(b) | In consultation with Owner, Contract Operator shall determine the sequence in which the wells proposed on the Quarterly Development Plan are drilled, fraced, completed, and/or reworked. Owner shall initiate the staking of each proposed well location to be prepared and drilled hereunder, and Contract Operator shall provide well site supervision and administration in the staking of each such well and the preparation of the well site for drilling operations. | ||
(c) | Contract Operator shall follow Owner’s designated procedures for drilling, recompleting, reworking, testing, plugging and abandoning and otherwise |
3
operating wells and shall supervise all operations. Contract Operator shall have direct contact with drilling contractor(s) during drilling operations, and shall provide related reports and information to Owner as requested, including, but not limited to, daily drilling reports, completion reports, and all information related to formation evaluation.
(d) | Upon reaching the objective depth, Contract Operator shall recommend to Owner whether to complete or plug and abandon the well or to conduct additional drilling or testing. Owner has sole authority to decide whether to complete or plug and abandon the well or to conduct additional drilling or testing. | ||
(e) | Contract Operator shall provide drilling and completion supervisors for the drilling and completion of wells and other personnel, labor, and equipment (including pulling rigs) necessary to complete, equip, and connect wells for production. All drilling operations shall be conducted on a competitive contract basis at the usual rates prevailing in the area of the Properties. Contract Operator may employ its own tools and equipment in the drilling of wells, but its charges therefore shall not exceed the prevailing rates in the area and such work shall be performed by Contract Operator under the same terms and conditions as are customary and usual in the area of the Properties in contracts of independent contractors who are doing work of a similar nature. | ||
(f) | All drilling operations and other operations, supplies or materials provided by Contract Operator or its Affiliates or related parties shall be performed or supplied at prevailing market rates in the area of the Properties and in accordance with customs and standards prevailing in the industry; provided, however, that all costs therefor shall in no event exceed those charged by or among Contract Operator and its Affiliates. | ||
(g) | Contract Operator shall permit Owner, or its duly authorized representative, full and free access at all reasonable times to all operations of every kind and character being conducted in the Contract Area. IF OWNER EXERCISES RIGHTS OF ACCESS UNDER THIS SECTION 2(g) THEN (a) SUCH ACCESS SHALL BE AT OWNER’S SOLE RISK, COST AND EXPENSE AND OWNER WAIVES AND RELEASES ALL CLAIMS AGAINST CONTRACT OPERATOR (AND ITS AFFILIATES AND THE RESPECTIVE DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, ATTORNEYS, CONTRACTORS AND AGENTS OF SUCH PARTIES) FOR INJURY OR DAMAGE TO OWNER OR ITS EMPLOYEES, REPRESENTATIVES AND CONTRACTORS OR ITS OR THEIR PROPERTY ATTRIBUTABLE TO OWNER’S OR SUCH PERSONS’ ACTIVITIES WHILE PRESENT DURING ANY SUCH OPERATION AND (b) OWNER SHALL INDEMNIFY, DEFEND AND HOLD HARMLESS CONTRACT OPERATOR (AND ITS AFFILIATES AND THE RESPECTIVE OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, ATTORNEYS, CONTRACTORS AND AGENTS OF SUCH PARTIES) FROM ANY AND ALL CLAIMS, ACTIONS, CAUSES OF ACTION, LIABILITIES, |

Either party shall have the unilateral right to terminate this Agreement at the expiration of the Initial Term or any extended term by giving written notice of its intention to terminate to the other party not less than sixty (60) days prior to the expiration of the Initial Term or any extended term. | ||
(b) | Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, a party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement upon and within sixty (60) days after a Change of Control of or pertaining to the other party hereto or its ultimate parent entity (“Change of Control Entity”). As used herein, “Change of Control” means: |
(1) | the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of a Change of Control Entity, whether voluntary or involuntary; | ||
(2) | a sale, in one or more related transactions, of all or essentially all, of the assets of a Change of Control Entity; | ||

7
(4) | as to the Contract Operator, neither Mack Chase nor Robert Chase shall continue to serve as Contract Operator’s chief operating officer for the purposes of this Agreement. |

A material event is an event or circumstance which, in Owner’s sole judgment, could have a materially adverse effect on a Property or Owner’s business. Contract Operator will cease operations on each such suspended or terminated operation as soon as Contract Operator is able to secure the affected Property and vacate the premises with all reasonable dispatch. Owner will remain obligated to pay Contract Operator for all compensation due to Contract Operator for a suspended or terminated operation up to the point in time that Contract Operator vacates the premises. | ||

11. Consideration.
(a) | Amount of Payment. Owner shall pay Contract Operator for its work under this Agreement as follows; provided, however, that all charges of Contract Operator therefor shall in no event exceed those charged by or among Contract Operator and its Affiliates for the same or similar services: |
(1) | A monthly charge in the amount of the actual costs incurred by Contract Operator for routine operation of Properties, not to exceed prevailing market rates in the area of the Properties, including, without limitation, salaries, benefits, costs of vehicles (including depreciation and fuel), cell phones, payroll taxes, repairs, maintenance and other administrative costs. All such costs shall only be for services provided by Contract Operator on the Properties, shall not include any costs incurred by Contract Operator in connection with other properties operated by Contract Operator, and shall be allocated to the Properties on a basis reasonably acceptable to the Owner. | ||
(2) | A monthly charge at a fixed fee amount determined in advance by Owner and Contract Operator for specific administrative services performed by Contract Operator at Owner’s request on the Properties, including, without limitation, Marketing Services (as defined below), filing of production reports, and performing geologic and land services. |
9
(3) | A monthly charge in the amount of actual costs incurred by the Contract Operator, not to exceed prevailing market rates in the area of the Properties, for (a) reworking operations, (b) recompletion operations, (c) plugging and abandonment operations, (d) site restoration operations, and (e) drilling and completion operations, to the extent not otherwise charged hereunder. | ||
(4) | A monthly overhead charge for drilling operations under Sections 2 and 3 of this Agreement; prorated for the actual number of days in the drilling operation, not to exceed prevailing market rates in the area of the Properties, but initially $2,000 per well per month. Charges for drilling wells shall begin on the spud date and terminate on the date the drilling and/or completion equipment is released, whichever occurs later. No charge shall be made for suspension of drilling operations for fifteen (15) or more consecutive calendar days. |
(b) | Invoices. Contract Operator shall submit monthly invoices, with all supporting information requested by Owner, to Owner for operations performed and expenses incurred hereunder during the previous month, and Owner shall make payment to Contract Operator within thirty (30) days after receipt and approval of an invoice and acceptance of the work covered thereby. | ||
(c) | Records. Contract Operator shall keep full and accurate records and accounts of all its activities in connection with this Agreement, which shall include reasonable substantiation of all work or expenses incurred herewith or any property acquired hereunder. Additionally, Contract Operator shall maintain a system of internal controls sufficient to provide reasonable assurance that records of all activities are properly maintained. All records relating to this Agreement will, at all reasonable times during the term hereof, and for a period of seven (7) years following the termination hereof, be kept and available for inspection and copying by Owner or any agent designated by Owner upon at least seventy-two (72) hours prior notice and during normal business hours. | ||
(d) | Billing Instructions. Contract Operator’s invoices containing all pertinent information shall be submitted to or as directed by Owner’s representative named in Section 8. | ||
(e) | Annual Survey of Rates. Contract Operator shall perform and provide Owner an annual survey of the prevailing rates charged in the Contract Area for the types of operations conducted by Contract Operator under this Agreement. |
12. Equipment Relocation. After notice to and consultation with Owner, Contract Operator may move or relocate Owner’s equipment from the Properties to other properties operated by Contract Operator, including properties not owned by Owner. Any such relocation
10
shall be conducted in conformity with the requirements for material transfers of the Accounting Procedure for Joint Operations included in the relevant Existing Operating Agreement. To the extent no such requirement is included in the Existing Operating Agreement or no Existing Operating Agreement is applicable to the Property, then the value of the equipment relocated should generally reflect the market value on the date of the physical transfer of the equipment. Contract Operator shall make available to Owner sufficient documentation to verify the valuation of the relocated equipment. Relocated equipment shall be priced using one of the following pricing methods; provided, however, the Contract Operator shall use consistent pricing methods, and not alternate between methods for the purpose of choosing the method most favorable to the Contract Operator for a specific relocation:
(a) | using published prices in effect on the date of relocation as adjusted by the appropriate COPAS Historical Price Multiplier (HPM) or prices provided by the COPAS Computerized Equipment Pricing System: (i) for oil country tubulars and line pipe, the published price shall be based upon eastern mill carload base prices (Houston, Texas, for special end) adjusted as of date of movement plus transportation costs and (ii) for other equipment, the published price shall be the published list price in effect at date of movement, as listed by a supply store nearest the Properties where like equipment is normally available, or point of manufacture plus transportation costs; | ||
(b) | based on a price quotation from a vendor that reflects a current realistic acquisition cost; | ||
(c) | based on the amount paid by the Contract Operator for like equipment in the area of the Properties within the previous six (6) months from the date of physical transfer; or | ||
(d) | as agreed to by Owner for equipment being relocated to the Properties, and by the parties owning the equipment being relocated from the Properties. |
13. Indemnification. Notwithstanding Section 10, but subject to Section 2(g), Contract Operator shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Owner, its parent corporations, subsidiaries, Affiliates, successors and assigns, and its and their respective directors, officers,
11
shareholders, agents, subcontractors, representatives and employees (each, individually, an “Indemnified Party”), against and from any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, fines, penalties, actions, suits, expenses and/or costs (including court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees), for or on account of injury, bodily or otherwise, to or death of persons, damage to or destruction of property belonging to Owner, other parties that own interest in the Properties, or others, arising out of, or in any way connected with (a) the presence of Contract Operator, its subcontractors, agents, servants, representatives and/or employees on the Properties; (b) Contract Operator’s performance under this Agreement; and/or (c) the breach of any provisions hereof, but shall not apply to claims (i) for damages or losses to any property relating to drilling, testing, fracing, completing, repairing or other operations or (ii) solely attributable to any operations by third parties on adjacent or contiguous properties. If indemnification is sought pursuant to this section, the Indemnified Party shall give written notice to Contract Operator of an event giving rise to the obligation to indemnify, describing in reasonable detail the factual basis for such claim, and shall allow Contract Operator to assume and conduct the defense of the claim or action with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, and cooperate with Contract Operator in the defense thereof; provided, however, that the omission to give such notice to Contract Operator shall not relieve Contract Operator from any liability which it may have to the Indemnified Party, except to the extent that Contract Operator is prejudiced by the failure to give such notice. The Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel to represent the Indemnified Party at its sole cost.THE INDEMNITY OBLIGATION PROVIDED HEREIN SHALL APPLY REGARDLESS OF ANY CAUSE OR OF ANY NEGLIGENT ACTS OR OMISSIONS OF ANY INDEMNIFIED PARTY, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT ARISING FROM THE GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL
12
MISCONDUCT OF ANY INDEMNIFIED PARTY. THESE COVENANTS OF INDEMNITY SHALL SURVIVE CANCELLATION, TERMINATION, OR EXPIRATION OF THIS AGREEMENT.
14. Marketing Services.

15. Insurance. Contract Operator and each subcontractor of Contract Operator shall, at all times during the progress of the operations, maintain with insurance providers reasonably acceptable to Owner: (A) Worker’s Compensation Insurance in statutory amounts, including Employer’s Excess Liability coverage in an amount in compliance with applicable law; (B) Commercial General Liability Insurance, with limits of not less than $1,000,000 per occurrence for bodily injury and property damage combined; (C) Automobile Liability Insurance in an amount not less than $1,000,000 combined single limit per occurrence; and (D) Employer’s
13
Liability Insurance, with limits not less than $500,000. Contract Operator shall provide Owner certificates of insurance which contain 30-day Notice of Cancellation, Material Change or Intent to Non-Renew clauses in favor of Owner. The certificate of insurance pertaining to general liability coverage shall name Owner as an additional insured. All insurance carried by Contract Operator and each subcontractor of Contract Operator shall contain endorsements stating that such party’s coverage is primary to any coverage Owner may elect to carry for its own account. Each policy shall be endorsed to provide waiver of subrogation rights in favor of Owner. In the event that an Existing Operating Agreement imposes a different insurance obligation on Contract Operator, the Contract Operator shall comply with whichever obligation imposes the greater amount of insurance coverage.
16. Liens. Contract Operator will keep the Properties free and clear of mechanic’s liens, materialmen’s liens, and other liens threatened, asserted or created by Contract Operator’s employees, agents, representatives, vendors, suppliers, and/or subcontractors arising from or relating to operations hereunder (a “Lien”); provided, however, that the foregoing shall not apply to any Liens filed or asserted against the Properties because of Owner’s failure to pay amounts due or claimed to be due to the applicable Lien claimant.
17. Independent Contractor. Contract Operator will carry out all operations and services specified in this Agreement as an independent contractor. Neither Contract Operator nor any of its agents, employees, or servants are to be considered an agent or employee of Owner in any respect.
14
18. General Supervision. Owner shall have no direction or control of the means, method, or manner in which the work is performed by Contract Operator but shall be interested solely in the desired results and that performance is in compliance with the provisions of this Agreement. Any provision in this Agreement which may appear to give Owner the right to direct Contract Operator as to the details of doing the work herein covered or to exercise a measure of control over the work shall be deemed to mean that Contract Operator shall follow the desires of Owner in the results of the work only.
19. Assignment and Delegation. This Agreement is personal and neither Owner nor Contract Operator may assign any rights nor delegate any duties incurred by this Agreement, or any part thereof, without the prior written consent of the other party.

21. Non-Waiver. The failure by either party to insist upon or enforce any term of this Agreement or to exercise any right herein granted shall not be construed as a waiver or relinquishment to any extent of its right to assert or rely upon such term or right on any future occasion.
22. Force Majeure. Contract Operator shall not be considered in default because of any delays in operations due to causes beyond the control and without the fault or negligence of Contract Operator, including, but not restricted to an act of God or of a public enemy, fire, flood,
15
epidemic quarantine restriction, area wide strike, freight embargo, unusually severe weather, or delay of Contract Operator’s subcontractors or suppliers due to such cause; provided that Contract Operator shall immediately notify Owner in writing of the causes of delay and its probable extent. In the event of a claim of force majeure by Contract Operator which continues for a period in excess of ten (10) consecutive days, Owner shall have the right to terminate this Agreement. With respect to any Properties for which there is an Existing Operating Agreement, the force majeure provisions of such Existing Operating Agreement are hereby incorporated in this Agreement and shall apply to each Property covered by such Existing Operating Agreement instead of the foregoing force majeure provision.
23. Audit. Owner shall have the right to audit the records and accounts of Contract Operator and its Affiliates upon ten (10) days prior notice to the Contract Operator.
24. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed, construed, and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of New Mexico.
25. Notices. All notices authorized or required between the parties by this Agreement shall be in writing and delivered in person or by mail, courier service or by telecopy which provides written confirmation of complete transmission, and addressed to the designated representative of the party addressed.
26. Confidentiality. Contract Operator shall keep confidential and not disclose to any third party or use for any purpose, other than in connection with, and solely to the extent necessary to, the performance of operations hereunder, any information disclosed to it by Owner or which it develops or learns in the course of performance of operations hereunder, except such confidential or non-proprietary information as (A) is disclosed to Contract Operator by third parties not in violation of any confidentiality obligation, or (B) is then or thereafter published or
16
otherwise becomes generally available to the public through no breach of this Agreement by Contract Operator, or any of its Affiliates, employees, agents or representatives.
27. Headings. Paragraph headings are used herein for convenience of reference only and shall not affect the construction of any provision hereof.

Box 960, Artesia, New Mexico 88211 (herein collectively referred to as “Chase”).
WHEREAS, pursuant to that certain Contract Operator Agreement of even date (the “COA”), COG has engaged the services of Mack Energy Corporation (“Mack”) to operate certain oil and gas properties (the “COG Properties”) conveyed to it by Chase pursuant to the Combination Agreement dated February 24, 2006 (Mack acting in its capacity as operator under the COA is herein called “Contract Operator”);
WHEREAS, Chase is the owner of certain oil and gas properties, which are located in the area of the COG Properties, (the “Chase Properties,” together with the COG Properties, herein called the “Contract Area”);
WHEREAS, COG and Chase desire to dispose of water produced from any wells currently located or hereafter acquired or drilled in the Contract Area into the disposal wells and related facilities, permits, right-of-ways, easements, orders and other agreements described in Exhibit A attached hereto (the “SWD System”); and
WHEREAS, COG and Chase desire to make certain arrangements with respect to the ownership and operation of the SWD System.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and of the mutual agreements herein contained, the parties agree as follows:
1. Operator. COG shall be operator of record of the SWD System (COG in such capacity, and its successors, if any, in such capacity being herein called “Operator”), and shall conduct and direct and have full control of all operations with respect thereto, subject to the terms of this Agreement. Operator shall conduct all such operations in accordance with industry standards but it shall have no liability to any other party for losses sustained or liabilities incurred, except as such as may result from gross negligence or willful misconduct of Operator.
2. Ownership. The SWD System shall be owned based on the each party’s percentage contribution of the total annual volume of produced water disposed of into the SWD System during the prior calendar year; the parties acknowledging that such ownership, as of January 1, 2006, shall be ninety percent (90%) to COG LP and ten percent (10%) to Chase. No later than sixty (60) days after the end of the prior calendar year, the Operator shall provide all parties with a report showing each party’s percentage contribution of total volume of produced water disposed for the prior calendar year by February 1stof the following year (“Annual Review”).
No later than thirty (30) days after receiving the Annual Review, COG LP and Chase shall cross-convey among each other such interest in the SWD System as may be required to result in ownership of the SWD System (“Ownership Interest”) being proportionate to each party’s annual percentage contribution of total volume of produced water disposed in the SWD System for the prior one-year period.
3. Costs and Expenses. Operator shall allocate operating costs and expenses between the parties in accordance with the following:
a) | Operating Costs. The monthly cost of operating the SWD System and disposing of produced water from the Contract Area shall be allocated based on each party’s respective Ownership Interest at the time. The parties acknowledge that they intend to own and operate the SWD System without profit to any party and that any third-party income attributable to the SWD System shall be allocated pro rata to the parties as a reduction of each parties share of costs hereunder. | ||
b) | Maintenance and Repair Costs. Each party shall pay its proportionate share of maintenance and repair costs associated with the SWD System based on its respective Ownership Interest, including workovers. | ||
c) | Expansion Costs. Costs for expanding the SWD System as a result of a Water Disposal Deficiency (as defined herein) shall be allocated pursuant to Section 5 of this Agreement. | ||
d) | Invoices. Within thirty (30) days after the end of each calendar quarter, Operator shall furnish Chase with an invoice for its Ownership Interest share of (i) operating costs, (ii) maintenance and repair costs, and (iii) as provided in Section 5, any agreed upon expansion costs. Chase shall remit the amount due within thirty (30) days after the receipt of the invoice. |
4. Disposal Rights. Each party shall have the concurrent, unrestricted and equal right to deliver water to the SWD System. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Operator shall accept all water produced from existing wells in the Contract Area at the point of interconnection between the SWD System and each party’s respective facilities (“Delivery Point(s)”). Should either party desire to dispose of water produced from any future wells drilled within the Contract Area (“Additional Well(s)”), and should Operator, in its sole judgment, determine that the SWD System has available capacity to receive such additional produced water (“Excess Capacity”), such additional produced water may be disposed of into the SWD System so long as such Excess Capacity exists.
5. Expansion. In the event Excess Capacity is inadequate to handle both parties disposal needs (a “Water Disposal Deficiency”), then the parties shall have the following options:
a) The parties may jointly agree to an extension, repair, expansion, addition, or enlargement of existing or new facilities to the SWD System, including the conversion of a previously producing well to a disposal well (an “Improvement”). In that event, each party shall share in the cost of constructing such Improvement in such ratio agreed to among the parties. Costs of constructing Improvements
2
shall include, without limitation, the costs of engineering, construction, equipment, metering, well conversion, and related permitting.
b) A party may individually propose an Improvement to the SWD System by giving the other party written notice and a good faith estimate of the cost to construct such Improvement (the “Proposing Party”). Each party shall share in the cost of constructing such Improvement in such ratio agreed to among the parties, or if such agreement cannot be obtained, then the Proposing Party shall bear the entire cost of such Improvement and be entitled to the sole and exclusive use of any increased capacity resulting from such Improvement. Any Proposing Party that constructs an Improvement shall construct it in a good and workmanlike manner and in accordance with industry standards. The Proposing Party shall defend, indemnify, and hold the non-proposing party harmless from all actions, causes of action, damages, and costs (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of any failure to construct the Improvement in accordance with such standard of performance.
Operator shall operate and maintain any Improvement constructed pursuant to this Agreement but shall have no obligation to construct any Improvement.
6. Delivery of Produced Water. Each party shall be responsible at its sole risk and cost for delivering produced water to the SWD System as well as creating the interconnection between the SWD System and its respective facilities. Operator may refuse to accept for disposal any produced water unless in its reasonable judgment such produced water (a) is of low percentage suspended solids and compatible with other produced water in the SWD System, and (b) is delivered at an adequate pressure to enter the SWD System at atmospheric pressure (but shall not exceed the SWD System’s maximum delivery pressure as determined by Operator, in its good faith judgment, from time to time, based on then current operating conditions). Operator has the right to refuse to accept produced water that has or develops conditions or contents that harms or has potential to harm the SWD System; or take other measures that in its reasonable judgment would normally be taken by a prudent facility operator under the same or similar circumstances. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, neither party shall not be obligated to deliver a minimum volume of produced water under this Agreement. Operator is granted unrestricted use of the produced water once it enters the SWD System at the designated Delivery Point(s).
7. Measurement. Each party, at its sole cost and expense, will be responsible for the installation and maintenance of flow lines, meters, and equipment connecting the its properties to the Delivery Point(s). The parties shall agree upon a mutually agreeable method of measurement. Each party shall be solely responsible for any damage resulting from the operation of and maintenance of its flow lines and the pipelines upstream of the Delivery Point(s).
8. Interruption of Service. In the event mechanical or other difficulties are encountered which cause a temporary interruption in the normal operation of the SWD System, if Operator is prevented from disposing of produced water for any cause not within its control, or the SWD System is unable to dispose of produced water, the obligation of Operator to accept and dispose of produced water hereunder shall be suspended during the continuation of the period of
3
disability, without liability to Operator. Operator shall not be considered in default of this Agreement as a result of any suspension of operations due to causes beyond the control and without the fault or gross negligence or wilfull misconduct of Operator, including, but not restricted to an act of God or of a public enemy, fire, flood, epidemic quarantine restriction, area wide strike, freight embargo, unusually severe weather, or delay of Operator’s subcontractors or suppliers due to such cause.
9. Term. This agreement shall continue in force so long as any well located in the Contract Area is utilizing the SWD System, unless earlier terminated by mutual agreement of the parties. Notwithstanding the term herein expressly set forth, Operator may at any time, in its sole discretion, terminate this Agreement by giving at least thirty (30) days prior written notice to Chase if changes in the applicable laws, rules and regulations will render continued performance of this Agreement illegal. In such event, the parties shall agree to modify or amend this Agreement as necessary to ensure continued performance in compliance with any new or amended laws, rules, and regulations.
10. Audit. Each party shall have the right to audit the SWD System records and accounts of Operator upon ten (10) days prior notice to Operator. Such audit must be completed and objections made within thirty (30) days of the commencement of the audit process.
11. Assignment and Delegation. This Agreement is personal and neither party may assign any rights nor delegate any duties incurred by this Agreement, or any part thereof, without the prior written consent of the other party, except in connection with a sale or other disposition of a party’s entire interest in wells connected to the SWD System.
12. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed, construed, and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of New Mexico.
13. Notices. All notices authorized or required between the parties by this Agreement shall be in writing and delivered in person or by mail, courier service or by telecopy which provides written confirmation of complete transmission, and addressed to the designated representative of the party addressed.
