Governing Law. THIS LOAN AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE SUBSTANTIVE LAWS OF OKLAHOMA WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO THE CHOICE OF LAW OR CONFLICT OF LAWS RULES THEREOF. 8. Assignment. The Borrower may not assign this Loan Agreement. Lender may assign this Loan Agreement to any affiliate of Lender. 9. Counterparts. This Loan Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, and all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument notwithstanding that all parties are not signatories to each individual counterpart. 10. Limitation on Interest. It is the intention of the parties hereto to comply with all applicable usury laws, whether now existing or hereafter enacted. Accordingly, notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Loan Agreement, the Note, the other Loan Documents or any other document evidencing, securing, guaranteeing or otherwise pertaining to indebtedness of the Borrower to Lender, in no contingency or event whatsoever, whether by acceleration of the maturity of indebtedness of the Borrower to Lender or otherwise, shall the interest contracted for, charged or received by Lender exceed the maximum amount permissible under applicable law. If from any circumstances whatsoever fulfillment of any provisions of this Loan Agreement, the Note, the other Loan Documents or of any other document evidencing, securing, guaranteeing or otherwise pertaining to indebtedness of the Borrower to Lender, at the time performance of such provision shall be due, shall involve transcending the limit Gulfport Energy Corporation April 30, 2004 Page 7 of validity prescribed by law, then, ipso facto, the obligation to be fulfilled shall be reduced to the limit of such validity, and if from any such circumstances Lender shall ever receive anything of value as interest or deemed interest by applicable law under this Loan Agreement, the Note, the other Loan Documents or any other document evidencing, securing, guaranteeing or otherwise pertaining to indebtedness of the Borrower to Lender or otherwise an amount that would exceed the highest lawful amount, such amount that would be excessive interest shall be applied to the reduction of the principal amount owing in connection with this Loan Agreement or on account of any other indebtedness of the Borrower to Lender, and not to the payment of interest, or if such excessive interest exceeds the balance of principal owing in connection with this Loan Agreement and such other indebtedness, such excess shall be refunded to the Borrower. In determining whether or not the interest paid or payable with respect to any indebtedness of the Borrower to Lender, under any specific contingency, exceeds the highest lawful rate, the Borrower and Lender shall, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, (a) characterize any non-principal payment as an expense, fee or premium rather than as interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, (c) amortize, prorate, allocate and spread the total amount of interest throughout the full term of such indebtedness so that the actual rate of interest on account of such indebtedness does not exceed the maximum amount permitted by applicable law, and/or (d) allocate interest between portions of such indebtedness, to the end that no such portion shall bear interest at a rate greater than that permitted by law. The terms and provisions of this paragraph shall control and supersede every other conflicting provision of this Loan Agreement, the Note and the other Loan Documents. 11. [Intentionally Omitted.] 12. Conversion. (a) Right of Conversion. Lender shall have the right, at any time and from time to time during the Conversion Period (as defined herein), at Lender's option, to convert, subject to the terms and provisions of this Paragraph 12, any and all of the outstanding principal balance of the Note and/or accrued but unpaid interest thereunder into fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock at the Conversion Price. The "Conversion Price" shall mean $1.20 per share of Common Stock, as adjusted if and as appropriate pursuant to the provisions of this Paragraph 12. The "Conversion Period" shall mean the period beginning on the date the Rights Offering contemplated as of the date hereof has been canceled or terminated by the Board of Directors of the Borrower and ending on the date the entire outstanding principal balance of the Note together with any accrued but unpaid interest thereunder have been repaid in full. Prior to or simultaneously with the conversion by Lender of any of its principal of any Note, all accrued but unpaid interest on the principal amount being converted must be converted at the Conversion Price. (b) Mechanics of Exercise. The right of conversion shall be exercised by Lender's delivery to the Borrower during usual business hours at its principal place of business of a written notice that the Lender elects to convert all or part of its principal of and accrued and unpaid interest on the Note and specifying the name (with address) in which the certificate for Common Stock is to be issued and, if the certificate is to be issued to a person or entity (collectively, a "Person") other than the Lender, by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Borrower, duly executed by the Lender, duly authorized in writing, together with transfer tax stamps or funds therefor if required pursuant to Subparagraph (i) below. Notation shall be made on the Note of the principal and interest converted. (c) Time of Conversion. As promptly as practicable after the written notice of conversion has been delivered to the Borrower, as herein provided, the Borrower shall deliver or cause to be delivered at the Borrower's office a certificate for the shares of Common Stock issuable in connection with such conversion. (d) Adjustment of Conversion Price. The Conversion Price, and consequently the number of shares of Common Stock into which the Note is convertible, shall be subject to adjustment as follows: (i) Stock Dividends, Subdivisions and Combinations. If at any time the Borrower shall: (A) take a record of the holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive a dividend payable in, or other distribution of, additional shares of Common Stock; (B) subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares Common Stock; or (C) combine its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock; then in each such case the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior thereto shall be adjusted so that the Lender thereafter surrendering any of its principal and/or interest for conversion shall be entitled to receive the number of shares of Common Stock that such Lender would have owned or have been entitled to receive after the happening of any of the events described above had such principal and/or interest been converted immediately prior to the happening of such event. (ii) Reorganization, Reclassification, Merger, Consolidation or Disposition of Assets. In case the Borrower shall reorganize its capital, reclassify its capital stock, consolidate or merge with and into another corporation (where the Borrower is not the surviving corporation or where there is a change in or distribution with respect to the Common Stock of the Borrower), or sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its property, assets or Gulfport Energy Corporation April 30, 2004 Page 9 business to another corporation and, pursuant to the terms of such reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation or disposition of assets, shares of common stock of the successor or acquiring corporation, or any cash, shares of stock or other securities or property of any nature whatsoever (including warrants or other subscription or purchase rights) in addition to or in lieu of common stock of the successor or acquiring corporation ("Other Property"), are to be received by or distributed to the holders of Common Stock of the Borrower, then the Borrower shall, as a condition precedent to such transaction, cause effective provisions to be made so that Lender shall have the right thereafter to receive, upon conversion of its principal and/or interest on the Note, solely the number of shares of common stock of the successor or acquiring corporation or of the Borrower, if it is the surviving corporation, and Other Property receivable upon or as a result of such position of assets, by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock for which such principal and/or interest would have been convertible immediately prior to such event. In case of any such reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation or disposition of assets, such provisions shall include the express assumption by the successor or acquiring corporation (if other than the Borrower) of the due and punctual observance and performance of each and every covenant and condition of this Loan Agreement and the Note to be performed and observed by the Borrower and all the obligations and liabilities hereunder, subject to such modifications as may be deemed appropriate (as determined by resolution of the board of directors of the Borrower) in order to provide for adjustments of shares of the Common Stock for which the Note is convertible which shall be as nearly equivalent as practical to the adjustments provided for in this Paragraph 12. For purposes of this Paragraph 12, "common stock of the successor or acquiring corporation" shall include stock of such corporation of any class which is not preferred as to dividends or assets over any other class of stock of such corporation and which is not subject to redemption and shall also include any evidences of indebtedness, shares of stock or other securities which are convertible into or exchangeable for any such stock, either immediately or upon the arrival of a specified date or the happening of a specified event and any warrants or other rights to subscribe for or purchase any such stock. The foregoing provisions of this Paragraph 12 shall similarly apply to successive reorganizations, reclassifications, mergers, consolidations or dispositions of assets. (iii) When Adjustment Not Required. If the Borrower shall take a record of the holders of its Common Stock for the purpose of entitling them to receive a dividend or distribution and shall, thereafter and before the distribution to stockholders thereof, legally abandon its plan to pay or deliver such dividend or distribution, then thereafter no adjustment shall be required by reason of the taking of such record and any such adjustment previously made in respect thereof shall be rescinded and annulled. Gulfport Energy Corporation April 30, 2004 Page 10 (e) No Fractional Shares. Instead of any fractional share of Common Stock that would otherwise be issuable upon conversion of any principal and/or interest on the Note, the Borrower may pay a cash adjustment in respect of such fraction in an amount equal to the same fraction of the Conversion Price. (f) Notice of Adjustments. Whenever the Conversion Price shall be adjusted pursuant to this Paragraph 12, the Borrower shall prepare a certificate to be executed by the president of the Borrower setting forth, in reasonable detail, the event requiring the adjustment and the method by which such adjustment was calculated (including a description of the basis on which the board of directors of the Borrower determined the fair value of any evidences of indebtedness, shares of stock, other securities or property or warrants or other subscription or purchase rights referred to in this Paragraph 12), specifying the Conversion Price and (if applicable) describing the number and kind of any other shares of stock or Other Property into which the Note may be converted, and any change in the purchase price or prices thereof, after giving effect to such adjustment or change. The Borrower shall promptly cause a signed copy of such certificate to be delivered to Lender. The Borrower shall keep at its chief executive office copies of all such certificates and cause the same to be available for inspection at said office during normal business hours by any Lender. (g) No Stockholder Rights. Prior to the issuance of Common Stock upon conversion, Lender shall not be entitled to any rights of a stockholder with respect to the Common Stock, including (without limitation) the right to vote such Common Stock, receive dividends or other distributions thereon, exercise preemptive rights or be notified of stockholder meetings, and Lender shall not be entitled to any notice or other communication concerning the business or affairs of the Borrower except as contractually agreed to by the Borrower. (h) Intentionally Omitted. (i) Taxes and Charges. The issuance of certificates for Common Stock upon the conversion of principal and/or interest under the Note shall be made without charge to the converting Lender for such certificates or for any tax in respect of the issuance of such certificates or the securities represented thereby, and such certificates shall be issued in the respective names of, or in such names as may be directed by, the Lender converting principal and/or interest; provided, however, that the Borrower shall not be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of any such certificate in a name other than that of the converting Lender, and the Borrower shall not be required to issue or deliver such certificates unless or until the Person or Persons requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to the Borrower the amount of such tax or shall have establish to the satisfaction of the Borrower that such tax has been paid. Gulfport Energy Corporation April 30, 2004 Page 11 (j) Shares to be Reserved. The Borrower covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued Common Stock, free from preemptive rights, solely for the purpose of issue upon conversion of Notes as herein provided, such number of shares of Common Stock as shall then be issuable upon the conversion of all principal of and accrued but unpaid interest on the then-outstanding Notes; provided, however, in the event that there is not a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock authorized and reserved to satisfy the obligations of the Borrower under this Paragraph 12 and pursuant to the Rights Offering or sale of Common Stock, as the case may be, (i) the ability of the Borrower to issue shares of Common Stock pursuant to this Paragraph 12 shall be subordinated to the Borrower's obligation to issue shares of Common Stock upon consummation of the Rights Offering or sale of Common Stock, as the case may be, (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock reserved and available out of the Company's authorized but unissued Common Stock shall be equal to the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock minus the number of shares reserved for issuance pursuant to the Rights Offering or sale of Common Stock, as the case may be, and (iii) Lender hereby acknowledges that the right of conversion available to Lender pursuant to this Paragraph 12 is available only if, and to the extent, there are shares of Common Stock available out of the Borrower's authorized but unissued Common Stock subsequent to the consummation of the Rights Offering or sale of Common Stock, as the case may be. The Borrower covenants that all Common Stock which shall be so issuable shall, when issued, be duly and validly issued and fully paid and nonassessable. 13. Miscellaneous. (a) Entire Agreement.

REVOLVING PROMISSORY NOTE U.S. $3,000,000 Oklahoma City, Oklahoma April 30, 2004 For value received, the undersigned, GULFPORT ENERGY CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation (the "Borrower"), hereby promises to pay to the order of CD Holding, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("Lender"), at the addresses identified in the Loan Agreement (defined below), or at such other place as from time to time may be designated by the holder of this Note, in lawful money of the United States of America in immediately available funds, on or before August 1, 2005, the principal sum of the lesser of (A) THREE MILLION DOLLARS AND NO CENTS (U.S. $3,000,000), and (B) the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Loans made by Lender to the Borrower pursuant to the loan agreement, dated as of the date hereof, by and between the Borrower and Lender (as such may be amended or otherwise modified from time to time, the "Loan Agreement"), with accrued interest on the principal balance from time to time remaining unpaid from the date of advancement until default or maturity at a rate per annum equal to the lesser of (a) the Maximum Rate (defined below), and (b) the Base Rate (defined below).

As used herein the term "Base Rate" means with respect to each tranche a per annum interest rate equal to 10%. The term "Default Rate" means the Base Rate plus three percent (3%) per annum; the term "Maximum Rate" means the maximum non-usurious interest rate permitted under applicable law; and the term "applicable law" means the applicable laws of the State of Oklahoma or the applicable laws of any other jurisdiction, whichever laws allow the greater rate of interest, as such laws now exist or may be changed or amended or come into effect in the future. Interest hereunder from the date of each advancement hereof shall be due and payable (i) quarterly in arrears on the last business day of each March, June, September and December, commencing on September 30, 2004, and continuing on the last day of each third month thereafter, until maturity, (ii) at the maturity of this Note (whether at the stated maturity of August 1, 2005, by acceleration or otherwise), at which time the entire unpaid principal balance hereof, together with all unpaid accrued interest thereon, shall be due and payable, and (iii) after maturity, on demand. Subject to the provisions of the paragraph of this Note that begins "Interest on the indebtedness" (the tenth paragraph), each payment received by Lender shall be applied pro rata based on Lender's participation first to late charges and collection expenses, if any, due under the Loan Documents, then to the payment of fees, if any, due under the Loan Documents, then to the payment of accrued but unpaid interest due hereunder, and finally to the reduction of the unpaid principal balance hereof. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default specified in the Loan Agreement, Lender may, at Lender's option, exercise any or all of the rights, remedies, powers and privileges afforded under the Loan Documents or by law, including, without limitation, the right to declare the unpaid principal balance of this Note, together with all accrued but unpaid interest on such principal balance, immediately due and payable without demand or notice and to offset against amounts then due and owing on this Note and sums deposited by the Borrower with Lender or otherwise owed to the Borrower by Lender. No failure or delay on the part of Lender in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder and no course of dealing between the Borrower and Lender shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. Except as may be otherwise provided herein, the borrower, signers, sureties, guarantors and endorsers of this Note severally waive demand, presentment, notice or dishonor, notice of intent to demand or accelerate payment hereof, notice of acceleration, diligence in collecting, grace, notice, and protest, and agree to one or more extensions for any period or periods of A-2 time and partial payments, before or after maturity, without prejudice to the holder. If this Note shall be collected by legal proceedings or through a probate or bankruptcy court, or shall be placed in the hands of an attorney for collection after default or maturity, the Borrower agrees to pay all costs of collection, including reasonable attorney's fees. Interest on the indebtedness evidenced by this Note is expressly limited so that in no contingency or event whatsoever, whether by acceleration of the maturity of this Note or otherwise, shall be interest contracted for, charged or received by Lender exceed the maximum amount permissible under applicable law. If from any circumstances whatsoever fulfillment of any provisions of this Note, the Loan Agreement, the other Loan Documents or of any other document evidencing, securing, guaranteeing or otherwise pertaining to the indebtedness evidenced hereby, at the time performance of such provision shall be due, shall involve transcending the limit of validity prescribed by law, then, ipso facto, the obligation to be fulfilled shall be reduced to the limit of such validity, and if from any such circumstances Lender shall ever receive anything of value as interest or deemed interest by applicable law under this Note, the Loan Agreement, the other Loan Documents or any other document evidencing, securing, guaranteeing or otherwise pertaining to the indebtedness evidenced hereby or otherwise an amount that would exceed the highest lawful amount, such amount that would be excessive interest shall be applied to the reduction of the principal amount owing under this Note or on account of any other indebtedness of the Borrower to Lender, and not to the payment of interest, or if such excessive interest exceeds the unpaid balance of principal of this Note and such other indebtedness, such excess shall be refunded to the Borrower. In determining whether or not the interest paid or payable with respect to any indebtedness of the Borrower to Lender, under any specific contingency, exceeds the Maximum Rate, the Borrower and Lender shall, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, (a) characterize any non-principal payment as an expense, fee or premium rather than as interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, (c) amortize, prorate, allocate and spread the total amount of interest throughout the full term of such indebtedness so that the actual rate of interest on account of such indebtedness does not exceed the maximum amount permitted by applicable law, and/or (d) allocate interest between portions of such indebtedness, to the end that no such portion shall bear interest at a rate greater than that permitted by law. The terms and provisions of this paragraph shall control and supersede every other conflicting provision of this Note. THIS PROMISSORY NOTE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE SUBSTANTIVE LAWS OF OKLAHOMA WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO THE CHOICE OF LAW OR CONFLICT OF LAWS RULES THEREOF.
