Exhibit 1

HAROLD HAMM FAMILY LLC

DIVIDEND AND DISSOLUTION AGREEMENT

This Harold Hamm Family LLC Dividend and Dissolution Agreement (referred to as the “Dividend Agreement”) is entered into as of the 7th day of February, 2022 by all Members of the Harold Hamm Family LLC (referred to as the “Company”), and whose signatures appear on the signature pages to this Dividend Agreement. Unless the context indicates otherwise, all capitalized terms used herein shall have the same meaning given to them in the Company’s Operating Agreement.

RECITALS: Hamm Family Members own all of the Units in the Company, while the Company owns CLR Stock and Non-CLR Assets. The Members have decided that they would prefer to directly own and control their CLR Stock. The purpose of this Dividend Agreement is for the Members to memorialize their agreement to distribute the CLR Stock of the Company to the Members and then liquidate the Company and surrender their Units in exchange for their respective Percentage Interests in the Non-CLR Assets owned by the Company. Such distribution shall occur in the form of a dividend of an equal amount for each Unit of Membership Interest in the Company, as reflected on Exhibit A. Now, therefore, it is agreed as follows:

1. Distribution of CLR Stock. Pursuant to Section 4.2 of the Operating Agreement, distributions may only be made in such amounts and on such terms as determined by the Manager. Each Member, by signing this Dividend Agreement, does hereby consent to the distribution of all of the Company’s CLR Stock to its Members. Section 4.4 of the Operating Agreement requires that any distribution of CLR Stock be made in accordance with the Unit Percentages of the Members. However, shares of CLR Stock must be issued on a whole share basis; fractional shares are not permitted. Thus, the distribution of the CLR Stock will be issued to the Members on a whole share basis in accordance with the schedule set forth in Exhibit A.

2. Agreement to Liquidate the Company. Each Member, by signing this Agreement, does hereby consent, pursuant to Section 9.1 of the Operating Agreement, to the liquidation of the Company on the terms set forth in this Dividend Agreement.

3. Authority of Manager. Pursuant to Section 9.3 of the Operating Agreement, the Manager has full and complete authority to liquidate the Company’s assets and liabilities in whatever manner he deems appropriate.

4. Surrender and Extinguishment of Units by Members in Exchange for the Receipt of Non-CLR Company Assets. When a Member executes this Dividend Agreement, that Member shall contemporaneously execute the Assignment of Units, in the form as set forth on Exhibit B, pursuant to which that Member, as of February 7, 2022 (the “Effective Date”), will assign that Member’s Units to the Company. In exchange for these Assignments by Members of their Units, the Company shall, as soon as practicable after the Effective Date, deliver to each Member that Member’s share, based upon that Member’s Percentage Interest, of all Non-CLR Assets. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is agreed that the Company may retain Non-CLR Assets to provide a reserve for future liabilities and expenses that the Company may incur in connection with its liquidation and dissolution. The Manager shall cause all remaining Non-CLR assets to be distributed to the Members at such time as the Manager has determined that all such liabilities and expenses of liquidation and dissolution have been paid or provided for.


5. Representations, Warranties, and Covenants of the Members. Each Member, by executing this Dividend Agreement, does hereby make the following representations, warranties, and covenants to the Company and to each other Member:

a. Each Member has the requisite power and authority to enter into this Dividend Agreement and to execute and carry out that Member’s Assignment of Units.

b. Each Member does hereby release and hold harmless the Company, the Manager, and each other Member (the “Indemnified Persons”) for any action taken by any Indemnified Person in connection with the business and affairs of the Company as well as the actions in liquidating and dissolving the Company.

6. Articles of Dissolution and Final Income Tax Returns. Following the liquidation of all assets of the Company, the Manager will cause the Company to file Articles of Dissolution with the Oklahoma Secretary of State. The Manager shall also cause the Company to file a final income tax return with any taxing authority having jurisdiction over the Company and to provide to each Member a Form K-1 in connection with that final income tax return.

7. Applicable Law. This Agreement shall be construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Oklahoma.

8. Other Documents. Each of the parties agrees to execute such documents and instruments as are reasonably requested by the other party or parties so as to further effect or document the transactions contemplated in this Agreement.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Agreement as of the day and year first above written.

A Noncontrolling Shareholder shall only be obligated to transfer the Noncontrolling Shareholder’s Dragalong Shares in conjunction with the actual transfer by the Controlling Shareholders of the Offered Shares.

The Controlling Shareholders and the Noncontrolling Shareholders shall execute all agreements or other instruments as and when reasonably requested by the Managing Shareholder in order to fully carry out and effect the transactions described in this Section 3.2.6.

FIRST AMENDMENT

SECURITY AGREEMENT

THIS FIRST AMENDMENT amends that certain Security Agreement, dated effective July 1, 2020, between the Trustees of the 2015 Hilary Honor Hamm Trust II, dated September 16, 2015, (“Borrower”) and the Trustee of the Revocable Inter Vivos Trust of Harold G. Hamm (“Lender”). The Effective Date of this First Amendment is February 7, 2022. All capitalized terms herein shall have the same meaning as given them in the Security Agreement unless the context indicates otherwise.

R E C I T A L S:

Borrower is indebted to Lender as evidenced by that certain Note to the Lender dated July 1, 2020 in the principal amount of $761,355,927.68 (the “Note”). That Note is secured by the Security Agreement. Borrower and Lender are parties to a certain Dividend and Dissolution Agreement, dated February 7, 2022, pursuant to which (a) the Harold Hamm Family LLC will distribute all of the shares of Continental Resources, Inc. stock owned by the Company (the “CLR Shares”) in the form of a dividend applying equally to all Units of Membership Interest in the Company, and (b) the Borrower will assign and surrender to the Company all of the Borrower’s Units of Membership Interest in the Company in exchange for the Borrower’s share of the remaining assets owned by the Company (subject to the Company’s retention of any such assets to provide a reserve for future liabilities and expenses that the Company may incur in connection with its liquidation and dissolution). Borrower and Lender have also entered into that certain Agreement to Substitute Collateral. Pursuant to that Agreement to Substitute Collateral, Borrower agreed to execute an amendment to the Security Agreement pursuant to which the CLR Shares transferred to and owned by Borrower will be substituted as the Collateral under this Security Agreement in replacement of the Units. This First Amendment is attached as an Exhibit to that Agreement to Substitute Collateral.

NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the Borrower agree that the Security Agreement shall be amended as follows:

Section I shall be deleted in its entirety and shall be replaced with the following Section I.

SECTION I. Grant of Security Interest. As collateral security for the due and punctual full payment and performance of the Note, the Borrower hereby grants a security interest in all of the following assets, whether now owned or hereafter acquired (the “Collateral”): All of Borrower’s 36,590,936 CLR Shares, including but not limited to Borrower’s rights to and interest in the dividends, distributions and proceeds thereof.

Section IV. Shall be deleted in its entirety and shall be replaced with the following Section IV.

SECTION IV. Perfection of Security Interest. Borrower will execute and deliver into the possession of Lender, effective immediately, a Securities Account Control Agreement, in form and substance satisfactory to Lender, with respect to all securities accounts which hold any CLR Shares owned by Borrower.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, this Security Agreement has been duly executed effective as of February 7, 2022.
