up to an additional 555,000 shares of Common Stock (the “Option Shares”). The Firm Shares and the Option Shares are
hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Shares”.
The Company and the several Underwriters hereby confirm their
agreement as follows:

Statement and Prospectus.
The Company has prepared
and filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) a registration statement on
Form S-3 (File No. 333-292785) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and
the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder (the “Rules and Regulations”) and such
amendments to such registration statement (including post-effective amendments) as may have been required to the date of this
Agreement. Such registration statement, as amended (including any post-effective amendments), has been declared effective by the
Commission. The registration statement (including post-effective amendments), and all documents and information (if any) deemed to
be a part of, or incorporated by reference into, the registration statement through incorporation by reference or otherwise at the
time of effectiveness thereof (the “Effective Time”), the exhibits and any schedules thereto at the Effective
Time and the documents and information otherwise incorporated by reference or included therein by the Securities Act or otherwise
pursuant to the Rules and Regulations at the Effective Time, including all information retroactively deemed to be a part of the
Registration Statement pursuant to Rule 430B(e) promulgated under the Securities Act or, retroactively, deemed to be a
part of the Registration Statement pursuant to Rule 430B(f) promulgated under the Securities Act (the “430B
Information”) and information deemed to be a part of the Registration Statement pursuant to Rule 430C promulgated
under the Securities Act (the “430C Information”), that in any case has not been superseded or modified, is
herein called the “Registration Statement.” If the Company has filed or files an abbreviated registration
statement pursuant to Rule 462(b) under the Securities Act (the “Rule 462 Registration
Statement”), then any reference herein to the term Registration Statement shall include such Rule 462
Registration Statement. The term “Preliminary Prospectus” means any preliminary prospectus supplement, subject to
completion, relating to the offering and sale of the Shares, filed by the Company with the Commission pursuant to
Rule 424(b) of the Rules and Regulations (“Rule 424(b)”) for use in connection with the
offering and sale of the Shares, together with the Base Prospectus (as defined herein) attached to or used with such preliminary
prospectus supplement, including any documents incorporated therein by reference, and any 430B Information or 430C Information with
respect to the Registration Statement. The term “Base Prospectus” means the prospectus included in the
Registration Statement at the Effective Time, including any documents incorporated therein by reference. The term
“Statutory Prospectus” means the Preliminary Prospectus, if any, and the Base Prospectus, each as amended and
supplemented immediately prior to the Time of Sale (as defined in Section 2(a)), including any document incorporated by
reference therein, and any prospectus supplement. For purposes of the foregoing definition, 430B Information shall be considered to
be included in the Statutory Prospectus only as of the actual time that the form of prospectus is filed with the Commission pursuant
to Rule 424(b) and not retroactively.
The Company is filing with
the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act a final prospectus supplement to the Base Prospectus relating
to the offering and sale of the Shares that discloses the public offering price, and other final terms of the offering and sale of the
Shares. Such final prospectus supplement, as so filed, along with the Base Prospectus, including any documents incorporated therein by
reference, and any 430B Information or 430C Information, is hereinafter called the “Final Prospectus.” The Final Prospectus,
the Statutory Prospectus and any Preliminary Prospectus in the form in which they were included in the Registration Statement or filed
with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424 under the Securities Act is each hereinafter called a “Prospectus.” All
references made herein to the Registration Statement, the Base Prospectus, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Statutory Prospectus or to
the Final Prospectus shall be deemed to refer to and include any documents incorporated by reference therein and any reference to any
amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement, the Base Prospectus, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Statutory Prospectus or the
Final Prospectus shall be deemed to refer to and include any document filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
“Exchange Act”), and the Rules and Regulations, incorporated by reference in such Registration Statement, the
Base Prospectus, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Statutory Prospectus or the Final Prospectus, as the case may be.

(vi) Financial Statements.
The financial statements of the Company, together with the related notes and schedules, included or incorporated by reference in the Registration
Statement, the Time of Sale Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus comply in all material respects with the applicable requirements
of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder, and present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial condition of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries as of the dates indicated and the consolidated
results of their operations and changes in cash flows for the periods therein specified in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting
principles (“GAAP”) consistently applied throughout the periods involved (except for non-GAAP financial measures presented
in compliance with the applicable rules and regulations of the Commission). The supporting schedules included or incorporated by
reference in the Registration Statement, if any, present fairly, in all material respects, the information required to be stated therein.
The financial data set forth in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus present fairly,
in all material respects, the information shown therein on a basis consistent with that of the audited and unaudited financial statements
included therein. No other financial statements or schedules are required under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, or the rules and
regulations of the Commission to be included or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Disclosure Package
or the Final Prospectus. All disclosures contained in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus,
or incorporated by reference therein, regarding “non-GAAP financial measures” (as such term is defined by the rules and
regulations of the Commission) comply in all material respects with Regulation G of the Exchange Act and Item 10 of Regulation S-K of
the Securities Act, to the extent applicable.
(vii) Independent Accountants.

(viii) Independent Petroleum
Engineers. DeGoyler & MacNaughton and Cawley, Gillespie and Associates, Inc., whose reports on the oil and gas reserve
estimates of the Company are incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Disclosure Package and the Final
Prospectus, are both independent petroleum engineers in accordance with guidelines established by the Commission.
(ix) Accounting and
Disclosure Controls. The Company and its subsidiaries maintain systems of “internal control over financial reporting”
(as defined under Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act) that comply with the requirements of the Exchange Act and have
been designed by, or under the supervision of, their respective principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing
similar functions, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements
for external purposes in accordance with GAAP, including, but not limited to, internal accounting controls sufficient to provide reasonable
assurance that (i) transactions are executed in accordance with management’s general or specific authorizations; (ii) transactions
are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP and to maintain asset accountability;
(iii) access to assets is permitted only in accordance with management’s general or specific authorization; (iv) the recorded
accountability for assets is compared with the existing assets at reasonable intervals and appropriate action is taken with respect to
any differences; and (v) the interactive data in eXtensible Business Reporting Language included or incorporated by references in
the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus fairly present the information called for in
all material respects and are prepared in accordance with the Commission’s rules and guidelines applicable thereto. Since the
date of the latest audited financial statements included in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Disclosure Package and the Final
Prospectus, there has been no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or
is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
The Company and its subsidiaries
maintain “disclosure controls and procedures” (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act) which are designed
to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded,
processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and forms, including controls
and procedures designed to ensure that such information is accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management as appropriate
to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. The Company and its subsidiaries have carried out evaluations of the effectiveness
of their disclosure controls and procedures as required by Rule 13a-15 of the Exchange Act.
Except as disclosed in the Registration
Statement, the Time of Sale Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus, since June 30, 2025, there has been: (i) no material
weakness in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (whether or not remediated); and (ii) no change in the
Company’s internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect,
the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
6
(x) Forward-Looking
Statements. The Company had a reasonable basis for, and made in good faith, each “forward-looking statement” (within the
meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act or Section 21E of the Exchange Act) contained or incorporated by reference in the
Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Disclosure Package, the Final Prospectus or the Marketing Materials.
(xi) Statistical
and Marketing-Related Data. All statistical or market-related data included or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement,
the Time of Sale Disclosure Package or the Final Prospectus, or included in the Marketing Materials, are based on or derived from sources
that the Company reasonably believes to be reliable and accurate, and the Company has obtained the written consent to the use of such
data from such sources, to the extent required.
(xii) Reserve
Report Data. The oil and gas reserve estimates of the Company, which are incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement,
the Time of Sale Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus, or included in the Marketing Materials, are derived from reports that have
been prepared by independent reserve engineers in accordance with Commission guidelines applied on a consistent basis throughout the periods
involved, and the Company has no reason to believe that such estimates do not fairly reflect, in all material respects, the oil and gas
reserves of the Company, or the present value of future net cash flows therefrom, as of the dates indicated therein.
(xiii) Trading
Market. The Common Stock is registered pursuant to Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act and is approved for listing on the
NYSE American (the “NYSE American”). There is no action pending by the Company or, to the Company’s knowledge,
the NYSE American to delist the Common Stock from the NYSE American, nor has the Company received any notification that the NYSE American
is contemplating terminating such listing. When issued, the Shares will be listed on the NYSE American.
(xiv) Absence
of Manipulation. The Company has not taken, directly or indirectly, any action that is designed to or that has constituted or that
would reasonably be expected to cause or result in the stabilization or manipulation of the price of any security of the Company to facilitate
the sale or resale of the Shares.
(xv) Investment
Company Act. The Company is not and, after giving effect to the offering and sale of the Shares and the application of the net proceeds
thereof, will not be an “investment company,” as such term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.
3. Representations

in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, and is duly qualified to do business as a
foreign corporation or other entity in good standing in each jurisdiction in which it owns or leases real property or in which the
conduct of its business makes such qualification necessary, except where the failure to so qualify would not have or be reasonably
likely to result in a material adverse effect upon the business, prospects, properties, operations, condition (financial or
otherwise) or results of operations of the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or in its ability to perform its
obligations under this Agreement (“Material Adverse Effect”).
7

is bound or affected, except to the extent that such breach, violation or default would not result in a Material Adverse Effect, (B) conflict
with, result in any violation or breach of, or constitute a default (or an event that with notice or lapse of time or both would become

time or both) (a “Default Acceleration Event”) of, any contract, indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan or credit
agreement, note, lease or other agreement or instrument to which such entity is a party or by which it is bound or to which any of the

terms and provisions of, or constitute a default under, the Company’s charter, by-laws or similar organization document of the Company
or any of its subsidiaries.
(iv) No
Violations. Neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries is in violation, breach or default under its certificate of

default) in the performance or observance of any obligation, agreement, covenant or condition contained in any Contracts, except for
such defaults that would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect or

representations, warranties and agreements herein contained, but subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth, the Company agrees
to issue and sell the Firm Shares to the several Underwriters, and the several Underwriters agree, severally and not jointly, to purchase
the Firm Shares set forth opposite the names of the Underwriters in Schedule I hereto. The purchase price to be paid by the Underwriters
to the Company for each Firm Share shall be $3.055 per share.

and representations and subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth, the Underwriters shall have the right, severally and not
jointly, to purchase at the purchase price set forth in Section 4(a) all or any portion of the Option Shares as may be necessary
to cover over-allotments made in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby. This option may be exercised by the Underwriters
at any time and from time to time on or before the thirtieth (30th) day following the date hereof, by written notice to the
Company (the “Option Notice”). The Option Notice shall set forth the aggregate number of Option Shares as to which

to sell to each Underwriter the number of Option Shares obtained by multiplying the number of Option Shares specified in such notice
by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of Option Shares set forth opposite the name of the Underwriter in Schedule I hereto

payment of the purchase price therefor by wire transfer of same day funds payable to the order of the Company at the offices of Roth
Capital Partners, LLC, 888 San Clemente Drive, Suite 400, Newport Beach, CA 92660, or such other location as may be mutually
acceptable, at 6:00 a.m. Pacific Time, on the third (or if the Firm Shares are priced, as contemplated by
Rule 15c6-1(c) under the Exchange Act, after 4:30 p.m. Eastern time, the fourth) full business day following the date
hereof, or at such other time and date as the Representative and the Company determine pursuant to Rule 15c6-1(a) under
the Exchange Act, or, in the case of the Option Shares, at such date and time set forth in the Option Notice. The time and date of
delivery of the Firm Shares is referred to herein as the “Closing Date.” On the Closing Date, the Company shall
deliver the Firm Shares, which shall be registered in the name or names and shall be in such denominations as the Representative may
request on behalf of the Underwriters at least one (1) business day before the Closing Date, to the respective accounts of the

the Representative has been authorized, for its own account and the accounts of the several Underwriters, to accept delivery of and receipt
for, and make payment of the purchase price for, the Firm Shares and any Option Shares the Underwriters have agreed to purchase. The Representative,
individually and not as the Representative of the Underwriters, may (but shall not be obligated to) make payment for any Shares to be
purchased by any Underwriter whose funds shall not have been received by the Representative by the Closing Date or any Option Closing
Date, as the case may be, for the account of such Underwriter, but any such payment shall not relieve such Underwriter from any of its
obligations under this Agreement.
(f) The Company acknowledges

the Representatives nor any other Underwriter is advising the Company or any other person as to any legal, tax, investment, accounting
or regulatory matters in any jurisdiction. The Company shall consult with its own advisors concerning such matters and shall be responsible
for making its own independent investigation and appraisal of the transactions contemplated hereby, and neither the Representatives nor
the other Underwriters shall have any responsibility or liability to the Company with respect thereto. Any review by the Representatives
and the other Underwriters of the Company, the transactions contemplated hereby or other matters relating to such transactions will be
performed solely for the benefit of the Underwriters and shall not be on behalf of the Company.

Delivery Period, the Company will use its reasonable efforts to obtain the lifting of such order at the earliest possible moment. Additionally,
the Company agrees that it shall comply with the provisions of Rules 424(b), 430A, 430B or 430C as applicable, under the Securities
Act and will use its reasonable efforts to confirm that any filings made by the Company under Rule 424(b) or Rule 433 were
received in a timely manner by the Commission (without reliance on Rule 424(b)(8) or 164(b) of the Securities Act).
(iv) (A) During
the Prospectus Delivery Period, the Company will comply with all requirements imposed upon it by the Securities Act, as now and
hereafter amended, and by the Rules and Regulations, as from time to time in force, and by the Exchange Act, as now and
hereafter amended, so far as necessary to permit the continuance of sales of or dealings in the Shares as contemplated by the
provisions hereof, the Time of Sale Disclosure Package, the Registration Statement and the Final Prospectus. If during the
Prospectus Delivery Period any event occurs the result of which would cause the Final Prospectus (or if the Final Prospectus is not
yet available to prospective purchasers, the Time of Sale Disclosure Package) to include an untrue statement of a material fact or
omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances then existing, not
misleading, or if during such period it is necessary or appropriate in the opinion of the Company or its counsel or the
Representative or counsel to the Underwriters to amend the Registration Statement or supplement the Final Prospectus (or if the
Final Prospectus is not yet available to prospective purchasers, the Time of Sale Disclosure Package) to comply with the Securities
Act, or to file under the Exchange Act any document that would be deemed to be incorporated by reference in the Final Prospectus in
order to comply with the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, the Company will promptly notify the Representative, allow the
Representative the opportunity to provide reasonable comments on such amendment, prospectus supplement or document, and will amend
the Registration Statement or supplement the Final Prospectus (or if the Final Prospectus is not yet available to prospective
purchasers, the Time of Sale Disclosure Package) or file such document (at the expense of the Company) so as to correct such
statement or omission or effect such compliance.
19
(B) If at any time during
the Prospectus Delivery Period there occurred or occurs an event the result of which such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus conflicted or
would conflict with the information contained in the Registration Statement or any Prospectus or included or would include, when taken
together with the Time of Sale Disclosure Package, an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or would omit to state a material
fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances prevailing at that subsequent time, not misleading,
the Company will promptly notify the Representative and will promptly amend or supplement, at its own expense, such Issuer Free Writing
Prospectus to eliminate or correct such conflict, untrue statement or omission.
(v) The Company shall take
or cause to be taken all necessary action to qualify the Shares for sale under the securities laws of such jurisdictions as the Representative
reasonably designates and to continue such qualifications in effect so long as required for the distribution of the Shares, except that
the Company shall not be required in connection therewith to qualify as a foreign corporation or as a dealer in securities in any jurisdiction
in which it is not so qualified, to execute a general consent to service of process in any state or to subject itself to taxation in respect
of doing business in any jurisdiction in which it is not otherwise subject.
(vi) The Company will furnish
to the Underwriters and counsel to the Underwriters copies of the Registration Statement, each Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus,
and all amendments and supplements to such documents, in each case as soon as available and in such quantities as the Underwriters may
from time to time reasonably request.
(vii) The Company will
make generally available to its security holders as soon as practicable, but in any event not later than fifteen (15) months after the
end of the Company’s current fiscal quarter, an earnings statement (which need not be audited) covering a twelve (12) month period
that shall satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158 of the Rules and Regulations;
provided that the Company will be deemed to have made available such statements to its security holders to the extent they are
filed on the Commission’s Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval System (“EDGAR”).
20
(viii) The
Company, whether or not the transactions contemplated hereunder are consummated or this Agreement is terminated, will pay or cause
to be paid (A) all expenses (including transfer taxes allocated to the respective transferees) incurred in connection with the
delivery to the Underwriters of the Shares (including all fees and expenses of the registrar and transfer agent of the Shares (if
other than the Company)), and the cost of preparing and printing stock certificates, (B) all expenses and fees (including,
without limitation, fees and expenses of the Company’s counsel) in connection with the preparation, printing, filing,
delivery, and shipping of the Registration Statement (including the financial statements therein and all amendments, schedules, and
exhibits thereto), the Shares, the Time of Sale Disclosure Package, any Prospectus, the Final Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing
Prospectus and any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, (C) all reasonable filing fees incurred in connection with the
qualification of the Shares for offering and sale by the Underwriters or by dealers under the securities or blue sky laws of the
states and other jurisdictions that the Representative shall designate, (D) all reasonable expenses and application fees
incurred in connection with any required review and approval by FINRA of the terms of the sale of the Shares, (E) all expenses
and application fees related to the listing of the Shares on the NYSE American, if any, and (F) all other costs and expenses of
the Company incident to the performance of its obligations hereunder that are not otherwise specifically provided for herein. The
Company will reimburse the Representative for its reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses, including legal fees and
disbursements of the Representative’s legal counsel, and data services, in each case reasonably incurred in connection with
the purchase and sale of the Shares contemplated hereby; provided that the amount of such expenses to be reimbursed by the
Company shall not exceed $185,000 without the Company’s prior written consent. If this Agreement is terminated by the
Representative in accordance with the provisions of Section 6, Section 9 or Section 10, the Company will, subject to
the cap described in the previous sentence, reimburse the Underwriters for all out-of-pocket disbursements (including, but not
limited to, reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel, travel expenses, postage, facsimile and telephone charges) incurred by the
Underwriters in connection with their investigation, preparing to market and marketing the Shares or in contemplation of performing
their obligations hereunder. Except as provided in this Section 5(a)(viii), the Underwriters shall pay their own costs and
expenses, including the costs and expenses of their counsel, any transfer taxes on the Shares that they may sell, and the expenses
of advertising any offering of the Shares made by the Underwriters and travel.
(ix) The Company intends
to apply the net proceeds from the sale of the Shares to be sold by it hereunder for the purposes set forth in the Registration Statement,
the Time of Sale Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus under the heading “Use of Proceeds”.
(x) The Company represents
and agrees that, unless it obtains the prior written consent of the Representative, and each Underwriter, severally, and not jointly,
represents and agrees that, unless it obtains the prior written consent of the Company, it has not made and will not make any offer relating
to the Shares that would constitute an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus; provided that the prior written consent of the parties hereto
shall be deemed to have been given in respect of the free writing prospectuses included in Schedule III. Any such free writing prospectus
consented to by the Company and the Representative is hereinafter referred to as a “Permitted Free Writing Prospectus.”
The Company represents that it has treated or agrees that it will treat each Permitted Free Writing Prospectus as an “issuer free
writing prospectus,” as defined in Rule 433, and has complied or will comply with the requirements of Rule 433 applicable
to any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus, including timely Commission filing where required, legending and record-keeping.
21
(xi) The Company hereby
agrees that, without the prior written consent of the Representative, it will not, during the period ending sixty (60) days after the

lend, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any shares of Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable
or exchangeable for Common Stock; or (ii) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part,
any of the economic consequences of ownership of the Common Stock, whether any such transaction described in clause (i) or (ii) above
is to be settled by delivery of Common Stock or such other securities, in cash or otherwise; or (iii) file any registration statement
with the Commission relating to the offering of any shares of Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable
for Common Stock. The restrictions contained in the preceding sentence shall not apply to (1) the Shares to be sold hereunder, (2) the
issuance of Common Stock upon the exercise of options or warrants or the conversion of outstanding preferred stock or other outstanding
convertible securities disclosed as outstanding in the Registration Statement (excluding exhibits thereto), the Time of Sale Disclosure
Package, and the Final Prospectus, (3) the issuance of employee stock options not exercisable during the Lock-Up Period and the grant
of restricted stock awards or restricted stock units or shares of Common Stock pursuant to equity incentive plans described in the Registration
Statement (excluding exhibits thereto), the Time of Sale Disclosure Package, and the Final Prospectus, (4) any offers or sales pursuant
that certain Sales Agreement, dated February 11, 2026 between the Company and Roth Capital Partners, LLC, Northland Securities, Inc.
and A.G.P./Alliance Global Partners, as may be amended from time to time, (5) the issuance of shares of Common Stock or any securities
convertible into, or exercisable or exchangeable for, Common Stock, in connection with any merger or acquisition of securities, businesses,
property or other assets or strategic investment (including any joint venture, strategic alliance or partnership, equipment leasing arrangement
or debt financing) approved by a majority of the disinterested directors of the Company, provided that such securities are issued as “restricted
securities” (as defined in Rule 144) and such securities carry no registration rights that require or permit the filing of
any registration statement in connection therewith during the prohibition period in this paragraph, and provided that any such issuance
shall only be to a person or entity (or to the equityholders of an entity) which is, itself or through its subsidiaries, an operating
company or an owner of an asset in a business synergistic with the business of the Company and shall provide to the Company additional
benefits in addition to the investment of funds, but shall not include a transaction in which the Company is issuing securities primarily
for the purpose of raising capital or to an entity whose primary business is investing in securities, or (6) the filing by the Company
of any registration statement on Form S-8 or a successor form thereto.
(xii) The Company hereby
agrees, during a period of three (3) years from the Effective Date, to furnish to the Representative copies of all reports or other
communications (financial or other) furnished to shareholders, and to deliver to the Representative as soon as reasonably practicable
upon availability, copies of any reports and financial statements furnished to or filed with the Commission or any national securities
exchange on which any class of securities of the Company is listed; provided that any information or documents available on the
EDGAR shall be considered delivered for purposes of this Section 5(a)(xii).
22

hereby agrees to engage and maintain, at its expense, a registrar and transfer agent for the Common Stock.
(xiv) The Company
hereby agrees to use its reasonable best efforts to obtain approval to list the Shares on the NYSE American.

affiliate or associated person of a FINRA member participating in the offering.
(xvi) The Company
hereby agrees not to take, directly or indirectly, any action designed to cause or result in, or that has constituted or might reasonably
be expected to constitute, under the Exchange Act or otherwise, the stabilization or manipulation of the price of any securities of the
Company to facilitate the sale or resale of the Shares.
6. Conditions of the
Underwriter’s Obligations. The respective obligations of the several Underwriters hereunder to purchase the Shares are subject

7. Indemnification
and Contribution.
(a) The
Company agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless each Underwriter, its affiliates, directors and officers and employees, and
each person, if any, who controls such Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of
the Exchange Act, from and against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which such party may become subject, under the
Securities Act or otherwise (including in settlement of any litigation if such settlement is effected with the written consent of
the Company), insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon
(i) an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, including the
information deemed to be a part of the Registration Statement at the time of effectiveness and at any subsequent time pursuant to
Rules 430A and 430B of the Rules and Regulations, or arise out of or are based upon the omission from the Registration
Statement, or alleged omission to state therein, a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein not misleading, or (ii) an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Time of
Sale Disclosure Package, any Prospectus, the Final Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, any Issuer Free Writing
Prospectus, any Written Testing-the-Waters Communication, or the Marketing Materials or in any other materials used in connection
with the offering of the Shares, 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 light of the circumstances under which they were made,
not misleading; provided, however, that such indemnity shall not inure to the benefit of any Underwriter (or any person
controlling such Underwriter) in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action arises out of or
is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in the Registration Statement,
the Time of Sale Disclosure Package, any Prospectus, any Written Testing-the-Waters Communication, the Final Prospectus, or any
amendment or supplement thereto or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, in reliance upon and in conformity with written information
furnished to the Company by the related Underwriter specifically for use in the preparation thereof, which written information is
described in Section 7(f).
(b) Each
Underwriter, severally and not jointly, will indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Company, its directors and each officer of the
Company who signs the Registration Statement and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15
of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, from and against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which
such party may become subject, under the Securities Act or otherwise (including in settlement of any litigation, if such settlement
is effected with the written consent of such Underwriter), insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in
respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the
Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Disclosure Package, any Prospectus, the Final Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement
thereto or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, 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 not misleading, in each case to the extent,
but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in the
Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Disclosure Package, any Prospectus, the Final Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement
thereto or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company
by such Underwriter specifically for use in the preparation thereof, which written information is described in Section 7(f),
and will reimburse such party for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with evaluating,
investigating, and defending against any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action. The obligation of each Underwriter to
indemnify the Company (including any controlling person, director or officer thereof) shall be limited to the amount of the
underwriting discount applicable to the Shares to be purchased by such Underwriter hereunder actually received by such
Underwriter.
26
(c) Promptly after receipt
by an indemnified party under subsection (a) or (b) above of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party
shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under such subsection, notify the indemnifying party
in writing of the commencement thereof; but the failure to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve the indemnifying party from
any liability that it may have to any indemnified party except to the extent such indemnifying party has been materially prejudiced by
such failure. In case any such action shall be brought against any indemnified party, and it shall notify the indemnifying party of the
commencement thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate in, and, to the extent that it shall wish, jointly with
any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party, and
after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of the indemnifying party’s election so to assume the defense
thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified party under such subsection for any legal or other expenses subsequently
incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof; provided, however, that if (i) the indemnified
party has reasonably concluded (based on advice of counsel) that there may be legal defenses available to it or other indemnified parties
that are different from or in addition to those available to the indemnifying party, (ii) a conflict or potential conflict exists
(based on advice of counsel to the indemnified party) between the indemnified party and the indemnifying party (in which case the indemnifying
party will not have the right to direct the defense of such action on behalf of the indemnified party), or (iii) the indemnifying
party has not in fact employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to assume the defense of such action within a
reasonable time after receiving notice of the commencement of the action, the indemnified party shall have the right to employ a single
counsel to represent it in any claim in respect of which indemnity may be sought under subsection (a) or (b) of this Section 7,
in which event the reasonable fees and expenses of such separate counsel shall be borne by the indemnifying party or parties and reimbursed
to the indemnified party as incurred.
27
(d) The
indemnifying party under this Section 7 shall not be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written
consent, but if settled with such consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the indemnifying party agrees to
indemnify the indemnified party against any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense by reason of such settlement or judgment. No
indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement, compromise or consent
to the entry of judgment in any pending or threatened action, suit or proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is a
party or could be named and indemnity was or would be sought hereunder by such indemnified party, unless such settlement, compromise
or consent (a) includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability for claims that are the subject
matter of such action, suit or proceeding and (b) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a
failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party. If the indemnification provided for in this Section 7 is unavailable
or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under subsection (a) or (b) above, then each indemnifying party
shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities
referred to in subsection (a) or (b) above, (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits
received by the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other from the offering and sale of the Shares or (ii) if
the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect
not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and
the Underwriters on the other in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or
liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand
and the Underwriters on the other shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the offering (before
deducting expenses) received by the Company bear to the total underwriting discount received by the Underwriters, in each case as
set forth in the table on the cover page of the Final Prospectus. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among
other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a
material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or the Underwriters and the parties’ relevant intent, knowledge,
access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement or omission. The Company and the Underwriters
agree that it would not be just and equitable if contributions pursuant to this subsection (d) were to be determined by pro
rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in the
first sentence of this subsection (d). The amount paid by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or
liabilities referred to in the first sentence of this subsection (d) shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses
reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending against any action or claim that is the
subject of this subsection (d). Notwithstanding the provisions of this subsection (d), no Underwriter shall be required to
contribute any amount in excess of the amount of the underwriting discount applicable to the Shares to be purchased by such
Underwriter hereunder actually received by such Underwriter. 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. The Underwriters’ respective obligations to contribute as provided in this Section 7 are
several in proportion to their respective underwriting commitments and not joint.
(e) The obligations of
the Company under this Section 7 shall be in addition to any liability that the Company may otherwise have and the benefits of such
obligations shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each person, if any, who controls any Underwriter within the meaning
of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act; and the obligations of each Underwriter under this Section 7
shall be in addition to any liability that each Underwriter may otherwise have and the benefits of such obligations shall extend, upon
the same terms and conditions, to the Company, and its officers, directors and each person who controls the Company within the meaning
of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act.
(f) For
purposes of this Agreement, each Underwriter severally confirms, and the Company acknowledges, that there is no information
concerning such Underwriter furnished in writing to the Company by such Underwriter specifically for preparation of or inclusion in
the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Disclosure Package, any Prospectus, the Final Prospectus or any Issuer Free Writing
Prospectus, other than the statement set forth in the last paragraph on the cover page of the Prospectus, the marketing and
legal names of each Underwriter, and the statements set forth in the “Underwriting” section of the Registration
Statement, the Time of Sale Disclosure Package, and the Final Prospectus only insofar as such statements relate to the amount of
selling concession and re-allowance, if any, or to over-allotment, stabilization and related activities that may be undertaken by
such Underwriter.
28
8. Representations and
Agreements to Survive Delivery. All representations, warranties, and agreements of the Company contained herein or in certificates
delivered pursuant hereto, including, but not limited to, the agreements of the several Underwriters and the Company contained in Section 5(a)(viii) and
Section 7 hereof, shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the
several Underwriters or any controlling person thereof, or the Company or any of its officers, directors, or controlling persons, and
shall survive delivery of, and payment for, the Shares to and by the Underwriters hereunder.
9. Termination
of this Agreement.
(a) The
Representative shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by giving notice to the Company as hereinafter specified at any time
at or prior to the Closing Date or any Option Closing Date (as to the Option Shares to be purchased on such Option Closing Date
only), if (i) in the reasonable discretion of the Representative, there has occurred any material adverse change in the
securities markets or any event, act or occurrence that has materially disrupted, or in the opinion of the Representative, will in
the future materially disrupt, the securities markets or there shall be such a material adverse change in general financial,
political or economic conditions or the effect of international conditions on the financial markets in the United States is such as
to make it, in the reasonable judgment of the Representative, inadvisable or impracticable to market the Shares or enforce contracts
for the sale of the Shares (ii) trading in the Company’s Common Stock shall have been suspended by the Commission or the
NYSE American or trading in securities generally on the Nasdaq Stock Market, the NYSE or the NYSE American shall have been
suspended, (iii) minimum or maximum prices for trading shall have been fixed, or maximum ranges for prices for securities shall
have been required, on the Nasdaq Stock Market, the NYSE or NYSE American, by such exchange or by order of the Commission or any
other Governmental Entity having jurisdiction, (iv) a banking moratorium shall have been declared by federal or state

the United States, any declaration by the United States of a national emergency or war, any substantial change or development
involving a prospective substantial change in United States or other international political, financial or economic conditions or
any other calamity or crisis, or (vi) the Company suffers any loss by strike, fire, flood, earthquake, accident or other
calamity, whether or not covered by insurance, which would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, or
(vii) in the reasonable judgment of the Representative, there has been, since the time of execution of this Agreement or since
the respective dates as of which information is given in the Registration Statement, the Time of Sale Disclosure Package or the
Final Prospectus, any material adverse change in the assets, properties, condition, financial or otherwise, or in the results of
operations, business affairs or business prospects of the Company and its subsidiaries considered as a whole, whether or not arising
in the ordinary course of business. Any such termination shall be without liability of any party to any other party except that the
provisions of Section 5(a)(viii) and Section 7 hereof shall at all times be effective and shall survive such
termination.
29
(b) If the Representative

10. Substitution of
Underwriters. If any Underwriter or Underwriters shall default in its or their obligations to purchase Shares hereunder on the
Closing Date or any Option Closing Date and the aggregate number of Shares which such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but
failed to purchase does not exceed ten percent (10%) of the total number of Shares to be purchased by all Underwriters on such Closing
Date or Option Closing Date, the other Underwriters shall be obligated severally, in proportion to their respective commitments hereunder,
to purchase the Shares which such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase on such Closing Date or Option
Closing Date. If any Underwriter or Underwriters shall so default and the aggregate number of Shares with respect to which such default
or defaults occur is more than ten percent (10%) of the total number of Shares to be purchased by all Underwriters on such Closing Date
or Option Closing Date and arrangements satisfactory to the remaining Underwriters and the Company for the purchase of such Shares by
other persons are not made within forty-eight (48) hours after such default, this Agreement shall terminate.
If the remaining Underwriters
or substituted Underwriters are required hereby or agree to take up all or part of the Shares of a defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters
on such Closing Date or Option Closing Date as provided in this Section 10, (i) the Company shall have the right to postpone
such Closing Date or Option Closing Date for a period of not more than five (5) full business days in order to permit the Company
to effect whatever changes in the Registration Statement, the Final Prospectus, or in any other documents or arrangements, which may thereby
be made necessary, and the Company agrees to promptly file any amendments to the Registration Statement or the Final Prospectus which
may thereby be made necessary, and (ii) the respective numbers of Shares to be purchased by the remaining Underwriters or substituted
Underwriters shall be taken as the basis of their underwriting obligation for all purposes of this Agreement. Nothing herein contained
shall relieve any defaulting Underwriter of its liability to the Company or any other Underwriter for damages occasioned by its default
hereunder. Any termination of this Agreement pursuant to this Section 10 shall be without liability on the part of any non-defaulting
Underwriters or the Company, except that the representations, warranties, covenants, indemnities, agreements and other statements set
forth in Section 2 and 3, the obligations with respect to expenses to be paid or reimbursed pursuant to the provisions of Section 5(a)(viii) and
Section 7 and Sections 9 through 17, inclusive, shall not terminate and shall remain in full force and effect.
As used in this Agreement,
the term “Underwriter” shall be deemed to include any person substituted for a defaulting Underwriter under this Section 10.
Any action taken under this Section 10 shall not relieve any defaulting Underwriter from liability in respect of any default of such
Underwriter under this Agreement.

arising out of this Agreement, or any of the agreements or transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Registration Statement, the
Time of Sale Disclosure Package, any Prospectus and the Final Prospectus (each a “Proceeding”), (b) agrees that

Ladies and Gentlemen:
The undersigned understands
that you, as the representative (the “Representative”) of the several underwriters named therein, propose to enter into an
Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Evolution Petroleum Corporation, a Nevada corporation (the “Company”),
relating to a proposed offering of securities of the Company (the “Offering”) including shares of the common stock, par value
$0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”). Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings set
forth in the Underwriting Agreement.
In consideration of the foregoing,
and in order to induce you to participate in the Offering, and for other good and valuable consideration receipt of which is hereby acknowledged,
the undersigned hereby agrees that, without the prior written consent of the Representative (which consent may be withheld in its sole
discretion), the undersigned will not, during the period (the “Lock-Up Period”) beginning on the date hereof and ending on
the date sixty (60) days after the date of the final prospectus relating to the Offering (the “Final Prospectus”), (1) offer,
pledge, announce the intention to sell, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract
to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, or file (or participate
in the filing of) a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission in respect of, any shares of Common Stock or any
securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock (including without limitation, shares of Common
Stock which may be deemed to be beneficially owned by the undersigned in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities
and Exchange Commission and securities which may be issued upon exercise of a stock option or warrant), (2) enter into any swap or
other agreement that transfers, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the shares of, whether any such
transaction described in clause (1) or (2) above is to be settled by delivery of shares of Common Stock or such other securities,
in cash or otherwise, (3) make any demand for or exercise any right with respect to, the registration of any shares of Common Stock
or any security convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock, or (4) publicly announce an intention
to effect any transaction specified in clause (1), (2) or (3) above.
Exhibit-A
Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the restrictions set forth in clause (1) and (2) above shall not apply to (a) transfers (i) as a bona
fide gift or gifts; provided that the donee or donees thereof agree to be bound in writing by the restrictions set forth
herein; and provided further that any such transfer shall not involve a disposition for value, (ii) to any trust for the
direct or indirect benefit of the undersigned or the immediate family of the undersigned; provided that the trustee of the
trust agrees to be bound in writing by the restrictions set forth herein; and provided further that any such transfer shall
not involve a disposition for value, (iii) pursuant to a will or other testamentary document or applicable laws of descent or
intestate succession, (iv) by operation of law, such as pursuant to a qualified domestic order or divorce settlement, or
(v) to a legal entity all of the beneficial ownership of which is held by the undersigned or the immediate family of the
undersigned; provided that such legal entity agrees to be bound in writing by the restrictions set forth herein; (b) the
acquisition or exercise of any stock option issued pursuant to the Company’s existing stock option plan, including any
exercise effected by the delivery of shares of Common Stock of the Company held by the undersigned or on a “cashless” or
“net exercise” basis or to cover tax withholding; (c) the purchase or sale of the Company’s securities
pursuant to a plan, contract or instruction that complies with Rule 10b5-1 that was in effect prior to the date hereof; or

addition, the restrictions set forth herein shall not apply to the establishment of a new trading plan that complies with
Rule 10b5-1; provided, however, that the restrictions shall apply in full force to sales pursuant to such trading plan
during the Lock-Up Period. For purposes of this Lock-Up Agreement, “immediate family” shall mean any relationship by
blood, marriage or adoption, not more remote than first cousin.
The foregoing restrictions
are expressly agreed to preclude the undersigned from engaging in any hedging or other transaction which is designed to or reasonably
expected to lead to or result in a sale or disposition of shares of Common Stock even if such securities would be disposed of by someone
other than the undersigned. Such prohibited hedging or other transactions would include without limitation any short sale or any purchase,
sale or grant of any right (including without limitation any put option or put equivalent position or call option or call equivalent position)
with respect to any of the shares of Common Stock or with respect to any security that includes, relates to, or derives any significant
part of its value from such shares.
The undersigned hereby represents
and warrants that the undersigned has full power and authority to enter into this Lock-Up Agreement. All authority herein conferred or
agreed to be conferred and any obligations of the undersigned shall be binding upon the successors, assigns, heirs or personal representatives
of the undersigned.
The undersigned also agrees
and consents to the entry of stop transfer instructions with the Company’s transfer agent and registrar or depositary against the
transfer of the undersigned’s shares of Common Stock except in compliance with the foregoing restrictions.

from the undersigned with respect to the Offering and the undersigned has consulted their own legal, accounting, financial, regulatory
and tax advisors to the extent deemed appropriate. The undersigned further acknowledges and agrees that, although the Representative may
be required or choose to provide certain Regulation Best Interest and Form CRS disclosures to you in connection with the Offering,
the Representative and the other Underwriters are not making a recommendation to you to enter into this Lock-Up Agreement, and nothing
set forth in such disclosures is intended to suggest that the Representative or any Underwriter is making such a recommendation.
Exhibit-A

that, if the Underwriting Agreement does not become effective on or before August 18, 2026, or if the Underwriting Agreement (other
than the provisions thereof which survive termination) shall terminate or be terminated prior to payment for and delivery of the securities
to be sold thereunder, the undersigned shall be released from all obligations under this Lock-Up Agreement.
This Lock-Up Agreement and
any Proceeding (as defined below) shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without regard
to the conflict of laws principles thereof. The undersigned irrevocably (i) submits to the jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the
State of New York, Borough of Manhattan and the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, for the purpose of
any suit, action, or other proceeding arising out of this Lock-Up Agreement (each a “Proceeding”), (ii) agrees that all
claims in respect of any Proceeding may be heard and determined in any such court, (iii) waives, to the fullest extent permitted
by law, any immunity from jurisdiction of any such court or from any legal process therein, (iv) agrees not to commence any Proceeding

inconvenient forum.

Ladies and Gentlemen:
We are acting as
special Nevada counsel to Evolution Petroleum Corporation, a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), in connection with a prospectus
supplement (the “Prospectus”) to a registration statement on Form S-3, Registration No. 333-292785 (the “Registration
Statement”), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) relating to the offering under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), of up to 3,700,000 shares (the “Firm Shares”), and
an additional 555,000 shares (the “Option Shares”, and together with the Firm Share, the “Shares”) of the Company’s
common stock, $0.001 par value per share (“Common Stock”), pursuant to the terms of an Underwriting Agreement, as defined
below. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings set forth in the Underwriting Agreement.
For the purpose of
rendering this opinion, we have examined originals, or copies certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction as being true copies,

opinions set forth below, including, but not limited to, the following:

terms described above or at all.

be identified by words such as “may”, “expected”, “estimated”, “projected”, “potential”,
