Explanation of Responses:

*	If the form is filed by more than one reporting person, see Instruction 4(b)(v).
**	Intentional misstatements or omissions of facts constitute Federal Criminal Violations. See 18 U.S.C. 1001 and 15 U.S.C. 78ff(a).
(1)	Represents the number of shares in which Mr. Hamm has a pecuniary interest that were deemed to have been transferred by Mr. Hamm on September 16, 2015 in connection with Mr. Hamm's previously reported transfer of $3.5 billion Non-Voting Units (the "NVU Transfer") in the Harold Hamm Family LLC (the "LLC") to trusts established for the benefit of his family members who are also members of the LLC. Although the NVU Transfer reduced Mr. Hamm's pecuniary interest in the reported securities held by the LLC, it did not reduce his control of the LLC or his control of all of the reported securities held by the LLC. This Form 4 amendment does not reflect the effect of any transactions or events following September 16, 2015.
(2)	The reporting person is the sole manager of the LLC which owns the reported securities. As a result, he has elected to report the total number of reported securities held by the LLC which includes reported securities contributed to the LLC by Mr. Hamm, his family members and trusts established for their benefit. As sole manager, Mr. Hamm has sole voting and dispositive control over all reported securities held by the LLC. However, the reporting person disclaims beneficial ownership of the reported securities except to the extent of his pecuniary interest therein.

Note: File three copies of this Form, one of which must be manually signed. If space is insufficient, see Instruction 6 for procedure.
