Parties on the one hand and TODD, JAR and Reeves on the other hand each desire to settle and

Agreement
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the recitals above, the provisions below and other good
and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which each Party hereby acknowledges,
the Parties agree as follows:
1. Credit to Reeves, TODD and JAR; payments to TMR. In complete and final settlement
and compromise of all outstanding Claims asserted by TODD, JAR and Reeves against one or more
Meridian Parties (whether under the agreements referenced above or otherwise) and as partial
consideration for the contemporaneous execution of the Omnibus Agreement, the Parties agree for
$600,000 to be credited against the MPA Indebtedness, to be paid as follows. Subject to paragraph
3 below, the outstanding balance owed under the MPAs by TODD and JARR through October 31, 2009,
after application of the $600,000 credit, is $1,056,548.20. TODD and JAR are entitled to credit
the $600,000 amongst the MPA Indebtedness in any manner they chose. As part of this Settlement
Agreement, however, TODD and JAR shall pay, within five days of the execution of this Settlement
Agreement, an additional $400,000 to further reduce the MPA Indebtedness and will bring all joint
interest billings under the MPAs (including the remaining MPA Indebtedness plus any further joint
interest billings issued after October 31, 2009) current (within 30 to 45 days) no later than the
earlier of (i) May 1, 2010 or (ii) five business days before the date of a TMR shareholder meeting
to approve the Agreement and Plan of Merger between TMR and Alta Mesa Holdings, LP.
2. General release and settlement of Released Claims. As further consideration for
this Settlement Agreement but subject to paragraph 3 below, the Parties also agree as follows:
(a) Release by Reeves Parties: Each of TODD, JAR and Reeves hereby forever
releases, discharges, waives and forgoes any and all Claims of any kind or nature (whether
asserted or unasserted and whether known or unknown) that such Party ever had, have, claim
or may have or in future obtain against any or all of the Meridian-Related Parties where
such Claims arose and/or accrued at or prior to the Effective Time.
(b) Release by the Meridian Parties: TMR on behalf of each Meridian Party
forever releases, discharges, waives and forgoes any and all Claims of any kind or nature
(whether asserted or unasserted and whether known or unknown) that any Meridian Party ever
had, have, claim or may have or in future obtain against any or all of the Reeves-
Page 3 of 11
Related Parties where such Claims arose at or prior to the Effective Time. This
release and compromise shall include, without limitation, any claim any Meridian Party now
has or may have or acquire in the future against any Reeves Party, arising out of or based
upon any claim asserted against any Meridian Party by Shell Oil Company, Shell Western E&P
Inc., or any of these companies predecessors, successors, parent or holding companies,
subsidiaries, or related or affiliated companies or entities (hereafter Shell
Entity or Shell Entities), in which one or more Shell Entities seeks
indemnity or contribution relating to any claim asserted against any Shell Entity for
environmental or property damage occurring at or prior to the Effective Time. Thus, and by
way of illustration, if a Shell Entity seeks payment, reimbursement, contribution, or
indemnity from any Meridian Party for a cleanup, settlement, or judgment performed or paid
by a Shell Entity as a result of an environmental claim arising before the Effective Time,
this compromise and release includes any present or future claim by any Meridian Party
seeking contribution from a Reeves Party with respect to any payment, settlement, or
judgment paid by a Meridian Party to the said Shell Entity for such environmental claim.
(c) Miscellaneous: The Claims released pursuant to this Settlement Agreement
may be referred to hereafter as Released Claims. Notwithstanding any other
provision in this Settlement Agreement, Released Claims do not include claims arising out of
or relating to a breach by any of the Parties of any covenant, obligation, representation or
warranty provided for under this Settlement Agreement and/or the Omnibus Agreement. Nothing
in this Settlement Agreement shall be construed as an admission of liability, fault or
breach by any Party or of any claim or defense of any Party. Each Party knowingly waives
(i) any Claim that this Settlement Agreement was induced by any misrepresentation,
nondisclosure, coercion or duress and (ii) any right to rescind or avoid this Settlement
Agreement based upon the currently existing facts, whether known or unknown.
3. Effective Time. The Parties recognize that as the result of normal production
accounting, and payment lag, payments are currently owed to the Reeves Parties with regard to
production on which the Reeves Parties have not previously been paid as of the Effective Time of
this Settlement Agreement. Nothing in this Settlement Agreement releases the Reeves Parties
entitlement to receive such payments. With respect to calculating such payments, any payments made
to the Reeves Parties subsequent to the Effective Time with regard to production for which the
Reeves Parties have not previously been paid by the Meridian Parties, shall be paid in compliance
with the Omnibus Agreement (including without limitation the decimal interests set forth in the
exhibits attached thereto, and further including, without limitation, Exhibits 4, 7, and 8) without
regard to whether the underlying production occurred prior to the Effective Time, but in all events
subject to the provisions on paragraph 4(c) below.
4. Audit rights. Notwithstanding anything in paragraphs 1-3 above to the contrary but
subject to paragraphs 4(a)-(c) below, (i) TODD and all applicable Meridian Parties retain and do
not release any or all audit rights for time periods after October 31, 2009 (and corresponding
rights to issue additional invoices together with the right to contest the amounts claimed in such
invoices, including for expenses incurred (or third-party invoice received by a Meridian Party)
after October 31, 2009 but before the Effective Time) under, subject to and in accordance all
applicable Third Party Operating Agreements and Form JOAs with respect to any Active MPA
Page 4 of 11
Prospect, (ii) JAR and all applicable Meridian Parties retain and do not release any or all
audit rights for time periods after October 31, 2009 (and corresponding rights to issue additional
invoices together with the right to contest the amounts claimed in such invoices, including for
expenses incurred (or third-party invoice received by a Meridian Party) after October 31, 2009 but
before the Effective Time) under, subject to and in accordance all applicable Third Party Operating
Agreements and Form JOAs with respect to any Active MPA Prospect in which JAR holds an interest and
(iii) Reeves and all applicable Meridian Parties retain and do not release any or all audit rights
for time periods after October 31, 2009 (and corresponding rights to deduct from future revenues
CHARGEABLE EXPENSES incurred (including for third-party invoice received by a Meridian Party) after
October 31, 2009 but before the Effective Time, together with the right to contest any such
deductions) under, subject to and in accordance the Original NPI Agreement as amended by the NPI
Amendment with respect to any Active NPI Prospect or Suspended NPI Prospect. Furthermore, the
Reeves Parties do not release their audit rights for purposes of insuring that payments were made
by the Meridian Parties in compliance with paragraph 3 above. For avoidance of doubt, claims
arising under this paragraph 4 are not Released Claims.
(a) Except as provided in paragraph 4(c) below, nothing in this Settlement Agreement
shall reserve or grant to any Party the right to contest or dispute (i) that any gross
working interest or net revenue interest of TODD is other than as provided for under the
Omnibus Agreement (or any amendments thereto), (ii) that any gross working interest or net
revenue interest of JAR is other than as provided for under the Omnibus Agreement (or any
amendments thereto) and (iii) that any net profits interest of Reeves is other than as
provided for in the Omnibus Agreement (or any amendments thereto).
(b) Nothing in this Settlement Agreement shall reserve to TODD, JAR or Reeves any claim
referenced in recitals (h)(k) above. Without limiting the scope of the release in
paragraph 2(a) above, TODD, JAR and Reeves expressly and forever release, discharge, waive
and forgo any and all such claims.
(c) Notwithstanding Exhibit 4 to the Omnibus Agreement, the Parties agree that, in
compromise of their disputes, the net profits interests of Reeves for those wells listed on
Exhibit 1 hereto shall be treated as 1.5% of 8/8ths for all production at or before October
31, 2009.
