Ladies and Gentlemen:

Resolute Energy Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), proposes to issue and sell to the initial purchasers listed in Schedule 1 hereto (the “Initial Purchasers”), for whom you are acting as representative (the “Representative”), $125,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 8.50% Senior Notes due 2020 (the “Notes”). In the event that only one Initial Purchaser is listed in Schedule 1 hereto, any references to the “Initial Purchasers” shall be deemed to refer to the sole Initial Purchaser in the singular form listed in such Schedule 1.

The Securities (as defined below) are to be issued under the indenture (as amended or supplemented to the date hereof, the “Base Indenture”), dated as of April 25, 2012, among the Company, the Guarantors identified on Schedule 2 hereto (each a “Guarantor” and collectively, the “Guarantors”) and Delaware Trust Company (as successor to U.S. Bank, National Association), as trustee (the “Trustee”), and the supplemental indenture, to be dated as of the Closing Date (as defined below) (the “Supplemental Indenture” and, together with the Base Indenture, the “Indenture”), among the Company, the Guarantors and the Trustee. The Notes will be unconditionally guaranteed (the “Guarantees” and, together with the Notes, the “Securities”) as to the payment of principal and interest by the Guarantors. The Securities will have the benefit of a registration rights agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) to be dated as of the Closing Date, among the Company, the Guarantors and the Initial Purchasers, pursuant to which the Company will agree to register the Securities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), subject to the terms and conditions therein specified.

The Company has previously issued $400,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 8.50% Senior Notes due 2020 (the “Existing Notes”) under the Base Indenture. The Notes

constitute an offering of “Additional Notes” (as such term is defined in the Base Indenture) under the Base Indenture. Except as otherwise disclosed in the Disclosure Package and the Final Memorandum (each as defined below), the Notes will have terms identical to the Existing Notes and will be treated as a single class of securities for all purposes under the Indenture, except that the Notes will have separate CUSIP and ISIN numbers from that of the Existing Notes until they are registered pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement.

The sale of the Securities to the Initial Purchasers will be made without registration of the Securities under the Securities Act in reliance upon exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. The Company understands that the Initial Purchasers propose to offer the Securities in accordance with Rule 144A under the Securities Act to persons reasonably believed to be “qualified institutional buyers” (as defined in Rule 144A) and to non-U.S. persons outside the United States in accordance with Regulation S under the Securities Act.

The Company intends to use the net proceeds of the offering of the Securities, together with borrowings under the Company’s Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated February 17, 2017, among the Company, as borrower, the guarantors party thereto, Bank of Montreal, as administrative agent, and other agents and lenders party thereto (as amended, restated, supplemented and otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Facility”), to finance the acquisition of certain producing and undeveloped oil and gas properties in the Delaware Basin in ▇▇▇▇▇▇ County, Texas (the “Target Assets”) from CPX Exploration II, LLC and PetroCap CPX LLC (collectively, the “Sellers”).

In connection with the offering of the Securities, the Company has prepared a preliminary offering memorandum, dated May 9, 2017 (as amended or supplemented at the date thereof, including any and all exhibits thereto and the information incorporated by reference therein, the “Preliminary Memorandum”), and a final offering memorandum, dated May 9, 2017 (as amended or supplemented to the date of such amendment or supplement, including any and all exhibits thereto and any information incorporated by reference therein, the “Final Memorandum”). Each of the Preliminary Memorandum and the Final Memorandum sets forth certain information concerning the Company, the Guarantors and the Securities. The Company hereby confirms that it has authorized the use of the Disclosure Package (as defined below) and the Final Memorandum in connection with the offer and sale of the Securities by the Initial Purchasers. Unless stated to the contrary, any references herein to the terms “amend,” “amendment” or “supplement” with respect to the Disclosure Package and the Final Memorandum shall be deemed to refer to and include any information filed after such date under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), that is deemed to be incorporated by reference therein.

(mm)Real and Personal Properties. Each of the Company and its subsidiaries owns or leases all such properties as are necessary to the conduct of its operations as presently conducted.

(oo)Statistical and Market Data. Nothing has come to the attention of the Company or its subsidiaries that has caused the Company or the Guarantors to believe that the

(qq)Margin Rules. Neither the issuance, sale and delivery of the Notes nor the application of the proceeds thereof by the Company and the Guarantors as described in each of the Disclosure Package and the Final Memorandum will violate Regulation T, U or X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or any other regulation of such Board of Governors.

7.Indemnification and Contribution.

(a)Indemnification of the Initial Purchasers. The Company and each of the Guarantors, jointly and severally, agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Initial Purchaser, and each of their respective directors, partners, officers, employees, affiliates and agents of each Initial Purchaser and each person who controls any Initial Purchaser within the meaning of either the Securities Act or the Exchange Act against any and all losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which they or any of them may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other U.S. federal or state statutory law or regulation, at common law or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities or actions in respect thereof arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Preliminary Memorandum, the Disclosure Package, the Final Memorandum, any Issuer Written Communication or any other written information used by or on behalf of the Company in connection with the offer or sale of the Securities, or in any amendment or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and agrees to reimburse each such indemnified party, as incurred, for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by it in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the Company and the Guarantors will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon any such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in the Preliminary Memorandum, the Disclosure Package or the Final Memorandum, or in any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company, by or on behalf of any Initial Purchaser through the Representative specifically for inclusion therein. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability that the Company or the Guarantors may otherwise have.

(b)Indemnification of the Company. Each Initial Purchaser severally, and not jointly, agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of the Guarantors, each of their respective directors, each of their respective officers, and each person, if any, who controls the Company or the Guarantors within the meaning of either the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity to each Initial Purchaser, but only with reference to written information relating to such Initial Purchaser furnished to the Company by or on behalf of such Initial Purchaser through the Representative specifically for inclusion in the Preliminary Memorandum, the Disclosure Package or the Final Memorandum or any Issuer Written Communication (or in any amendment or supplement thereto). This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability that any Initial Purchaser may otherwise have. The Company acknowledges that the third, eighth and ninth paragraphs under the heading “Plan of Distribution” in the Preliminary Memorandum and the Final Memorandum constitute the only information furnished in writing by or on behalf of the Initial Purchasers for inclusion in the Preliminary Memorandum or the Final Memorandum or in any amendment or supplement thereto.

(c)Notice and Procedure. Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 7 of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if

a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under this Section 7, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof; but the failure so to notify the indemnifying party (i) will not relieve it from liability under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 7 unless and to the extent it did not otherwise learn of such action and such failure results in the forfeiture by the indemnifying party of substantial rights and defenses and (ii) will not, in any event, relieve the indemnifying party from any obligations to any indemnified party other than the indemnification obligation provided in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 7. The indemnifying party shall be entitled to appoint counsel (including local counsel) of the indemnifying party’s choice at the indemnifying party’s expense to represent the indemnified party in any action for which indemnification is sought (in which case the indemnifying party shall not thereafter be responsible for the fees and expenses of any separate counsel, other than local counsel if not appointed by the indemnifying party, retained by the indemnified party or parties except as set forth below); provided, however, that such counsel shall be satisfactory to the indemnified party. Notwithstanding the indemnifying party’s election to appoint counsel (including local counsel) to represent the indemnified party in an action, the indemnified party shall have the right to employ separate counsel (including local counsel), and the indemnifying party shall bear the reasonable fees, costs and expenses of such separate counsel if (i) the use of counsel chosen by the indemnifying party to represent the indemnified party would present such counsel with a conflict of interest; (ii) the actual or potential defendants in, or targets of, any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties that are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party; (iii) the indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party within a reasonable time after notice of the institution of such action; or (iv) the indemnifying party shall authorize the indemnified party to employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party. An indemnifying party will not, without the prior written consent of the indemnified parties, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified parties are actual or potential parties to such claim or action) unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of each indemnified party from all liability arising out of such claim, action, suit or proceeding.

(d)Contribution. In the event that the indemnity provided in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 7 is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party for any reason, the Company and the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Initial Purchasers, on the other, severally agree to contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or defending any loss, claim, damage, liability or action) (collectively “Losses”) to which the Company, the Guarantors and one or more of the Initial Purchasers may be subject in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company and the Guarantors, on the one hand, and by the Initial Purchasers on the other from the offering of the Securities; provided, however, that in no case shall any Initial Purchaser be responsible under this Section 7 for any amount in excess of the purchase discount or commission applicable to the Securities purchased by such Initial Purchaser hereunder. If the allocation provided by the immediately preceding sentence is unavailable for any reason, the Company and the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Initial Purchasers, on the other, severally shall contribute in such

proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of the Company and the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Initial Purchasers, on the other, in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such Losses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. Benefits received by the Company or the Guarantors shall be deemed to be equal to the total net proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses) received by it, and benefits received by the Initial Purchasers shall be deemed to be equal to the total purchase discounts and commissions. Relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information provided by the Company or the Guarantors, on the one hand, or the Initial Purchasers, on the other, the intent of the parties and their relative knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement or omission. The Company, the Guarantors and the Initial Purchasers agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution were determined by pro rata allocation or any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above. Notwithstanding the provisions of this paragraph (d), no person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. For purposes of this Section 7, each person who controls an Initial Purchaser within the meaning of either the Securities Act or the Exchange Act and each director, officer, employee, affiliate and agent of an Initial Purchaser shall have the same rights to contribution as such Initial Purchaser, and each person who controls the Company or the Guarantors within the meaning of either the Securities Act or the Exchange Act and each officer and director of the Company or the Guarantors shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company and the Guarantors, subject in each case to the applicable terms and conditions of this paragraph (d).

8.Effectiveness of Agreement. This Agreement shall become effective upon the execution and delivery hereof by the parties hereto.

9.Termination. This Agreement shall be subject to termination in the absolute discretion of the Representative, by notice given to the Company prior to delivery of and payment for the Securities on the Closing Date, if at any time prior to such time (i) trading in securities generally on The New York Stock Exchange shall have been suspended or limited or minimum prices shall have been established on such exchange; (ii) a banking moratorium shall have been declared either by U.S. federal or New York State authorities; or (iii) there shall have occurred any outbreak or escalation of hostilities, declaration by the United States of a national emergency or war or other calamity or crisis the effect of which on financial markets is such as to make it, in the sole judgment of the Representative, impractical or inadvisable to proceed with the offering or delivery of the Securities on the Closing Date as contemplated in the Disclosure Package and the Final Memorandum (exclusive of any amendment or supplement thereto).

10.Defaulting Initial Purchaser.

If any one or more Initial Purchasers shall fail to purchase and pay for any of the Securities agreed to be purchased by such Initial Purchaser hereunder and such failure to purchase shall constitute a default in the performance of its or their obligations under this

Agreement, the remaining Initial Purchasers shall be obligated severally to take up and pay for (in the respective proportions which the principal amount of Securities set forth opposite their names in Schedule 1 hereto bears to the aggregate principal amount of Securities set forth opposite the names of all the remaining Initial Purchasers) the Securities which the defaulting Initial Purchaser or Initial Purchasers agreed but failed to purchase; provided, however, that in the event that the aggregate principal amount of Securities which the defaulting Initial Purchaser or Initial Purchasers agreed but failed to purchase shall exceed 10% of the aggregate principal amount of Securities set forth in Schedule 1 hereto, the remaining Initial Purchasers shall have the right to purchase all, but shall not be under any obligation to purchase any, of the Securities, and if such non-defaulting Initial Purchasers do not purchase all the Securities, this Agreement will terminate without liability to any non-defaulting Initial Purchaser or the Company. In the event of a default by any Initial Purchaser as set forth in this Section 10, the Closing Date shall be postponed for such period, not exceeding five Business Days, as the Representative shall determine in order that the required changes in the Final Memorandum or in any other documents or arrangements may be effected. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall relieve any defaulting Initial Purchaser of its liability, if any, to the Company or any non-defaulting Initial Purchaser for damages occasioned by its default hereunder.

11.Payment of Expenses.

(a)The Company and the Guarantors agree, whether or not the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are consummated or this Agreement is terminated, to pay all expenses, costs, fees and taxes incident to and in connection with (i) the authorization, issuance, sale and delivery of the Securities to be sold by the Company and the Guarantors and any stamp duties, transfer or other taxes payable in that connection; (ii) the preparation and printing of the Preliminary Memoranda, the Final Memorandum, any Issuer Written Communication, and any amendment or supplement thereto; (iii) the distribution of the Preliminary Memoranda, the Final Memorandum, any Issuer Written Communication, and any amendment or supplement thereto, or any document incorporated by reference therein, all as provided in this Agreement; (iv) the production and distribution of this Agreement, any supplemental agreement among Initial Purchasers, and any other related documents in connection with the offering, purchase, sale and delivery of the Securities; (v) the qualification of the Securities under state securities laws and the preparation, printing and distribution of a Blue Sky Memorandum (including related reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to the Initial Purchasers); (vi) the investor presentations, any pre-marketing activities or any “road show” undertaken in connection with the marketing of the Securities, including, without limitation, reasonable expenses associated with any electronic road show, travel and lodging expenses of the representatives and officers of the Company and the Initial Purchasers and the cost of any aircraft chartered in connection with the road show; (vii) the fees and expenses of the Company’s accountants, the fees and expenses of counsel for the Company and the fees and expenses of counsel for the Initial Purchasers; (viii) the fees and expenses of the Trustee; and (ix) all other costs and expenses incident to the performance of the obligations of the Company pursuant to this Agreement. Except as provided in this Section 11, the Initial Purchasers shall pay their own costs and expenses (excluding the fees and expenses of their counsel), any transfer taxes on resale of the Securities by them and the expenses of advertising any offering of the Securities made by the Initial Purchasers.

(b) If the sale of the Securities provided for herein is not consummated because any condition to the obligations of the Initial Purchasers set forth in Section 6 hereof is not satisfied, because of any termination pursuant to Section 9 hereof or because of any refusal, inability or failure on the part of the Company to perform any agreement herein or comply with any provision hereof other than by reason of a default by any of the Initial Purchasers, the Company will reimburse the Initial Purchasers severally through the Representative on demand for all expenses (including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel) that shall have been incurred by them in connection with the proposed purchase and sale of the Securities.

12.Successors. This Agreement will inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and the indemnified persons referred to in Section 8 hereof and their respective successors, and, except as expressly set forth in Section 5(j) hereof, no other person will have any right or obligation hereunder.

13.Representations and Indemnities to Survive. The respective agreements, representations, warranties, indemnities and other statements of the Company, the Guarantors or its or their officers and of the Initial Purchasers set forth in or made pursuant to this Agreement will remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Initial Purchasers or the Company or any of the indemnified persons referred to in Section 7 hereof, and will survive delivery of and payment for the Securities. The provisions of Sections 7 and 11 hereof shall survive the termination or cancellation of this Agreement.

14.Certain Defined Terms. For purposes of this Agreement, (a) except where otherwise expressly provided, the term “affiliate” has the meaning set forth in Rule 405 under the Securities Act; (b) the term “business day” means any day other than a day on which banks are permitted or required to be closed in New York City; (c) the term “subsidiary” has the meaning set forth in Rule 405 under the Securities Act; and (d) the term “significant subsidiary” has the meaning set forth in Rule 1-02 of Regulation S-X under the Exchange Act.

15.No Fiduciary Duty. The Company and the Guarantors hereby acknowledge that (a) the purchase and sale of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement is an arm’s-length commercial transaction between the Company and the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Initial Purchasers and any affiliate through which it may be acting, on the other, (b) the Initial Purchasers are acting as principal and not as an agent or fiduciary of the Company and the Guarantors and (c) the Company’s engagement of the Initial Purchasers in connection with the offering and the process leading up to the offering is as independent contractors and not in any other capacity. Furthermore, the Company and the Guarantors agree that they are solely responsible for making its own judgments in connection with the offering (irrespective of whether any of the Initial Purchasers has advised or is currently advising the Company or the Guarantors on related or other matters). The Company and the Guarantors agree that they will not claim that the Initial Purchasers have rendered advisory services of any nature or respect, or owe an agency, fiduciary or similar duty to the Company or the Guarantors, in connection with such transaction or the process leading thereto.

16.Miscellaneous.
