Exchange Act or delist the Common Stock from NASDAQ. The Company has not received any notification that the Commission is contemplating
terminating such registration. Except as set forth in the General Disclosure Package (as defined below), the Company (i) has not

The Company and each of its Subsidiaries are duly organized, validly existing as a corporation or other entity and in good standing under
the laws of its jurisdiction of organization, except in the case of such Subsidiaries where the failure to be so organized or existing
or in good standing would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect or would reasonably be expected to have
a material adverse effect on or affecting the assets, business, operations, earnings, properties, condition (financial or otherwise),
prospects, stockholders’ equity or results of operations of the Company and the Subsidiaries taken as a whole (a “Material
Adverse Effect”). The Company and each of its Subsidiaries are duly licensed or qualified as a foreign corporation or other
entity for transaction of business and in good standing under the laws of each other jurisdiction in which its ownership or lease of property
or the conduct of its business requires such license or qualification, and has all organizational power and authority necessary to own
or hold its properties and to conduct its business as described in the General Disclosure Package, except where the failure to be so licensed
or qualified or in good standing or have such power or authority would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse

As of the date of this Agreement, the subsidiaries set forth on Schedule C hereto (collectively, the “Subsidiaries”)
are the Company’s only significant subsidiaries (as such term is defined in Rule 1-02 of Regulation S-X promulgated by
the Commission). Except as set forth in the General Disclosure Package, the Company owns, directly or indirectly, all of the equity interests
of the Subsidiaries free and clear of any material lien, charge, security interest, encumbrance, right of first refusal or other restriction,
and all the equity interests of the Subsidiaries are validly issued and are fully paid, and in the case of Subsidiaries that are corporations,
nonassessable. Except as set forth in the General Disclosure Package, no Subsidiary is currently subject to a direct or indirect prohibition
on paying any dividends to the Company, from making any other distribution on such Subsidiary’s capital stock, from repaying to
the Company any loans or advances to such Subsidiary from the Company or from transferring any of such Subsidiary’s property or
assets to the Company or any other Subsidiary of the Company that would, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect.
(l) No
Violation or Default. Except as set forth in the General Disclosure Package, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is (i) in

in any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement or other agreement or instrument to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries
is a party or by which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is bound or to which any of the property or assets of the Company or any
of its Subsidiaries are subject; or (iii) in violation of any law or statute or any judgment, order, rule or regulation of any
court or arbitrator or governmental or regulatory authority, except, in the case of each of clauses (ii) and (iii) above,
for any such violation or default that would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect. Except as set forth
in the General Disclosure Package, to the Company’s knowledge, no other party under any material contract or other agreement to
which it or any of its Subsidiaries is a party is in default in any respect thereunder where such default would have a Material Adverse
Effect.

taken as a whole, (iii) any obligation or liability, direct or contingent (including any off-balance sheet obligations), incurred

described in the General Disclosure Package, (iv) any material change in the capital stock or outstanding long-term indebtedness
of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or (v) any dividend or distribution of any kind declared, paid or made on the capital
stock of the Company or any Subsidiary, other than (a) in each case above in the ordinary course of business or as otherwise disclosed

reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and by general equitable principles.
(p) Authorization

of the Company or a duly authorized committee thereof, or a duly authorized executive committee, against payment therefor as provided

to act as an underwriter or as a financial advisor to the Company in connection with the offer and sale of the Offered Securities, and

result in a Material Adverse Effect.
(w) No
Material Defaults. Neither the Company nor any of the Subsidiaries has defaulted on any installment on indebtedness for borrowed
money or on any rental on one or more long-term leases, which defaults, individually or in the aggregate, would have a Material Adverse

The Company and each of its Subsidiaries have filed all federal, state, local and foreign tax returns which have been required to be filed
and paid all taxes shown thereon through the date hereof, to the extent that such taxes have become due and are not being contested in
good faith, except where the failure to so file or pay would not have a Material Adverse Effect. Except as otherwise disclosed in or contemplated
by the General Disclosure Package, no tax deficiency has been determined adversely to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries which has
had, or would have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect. Except as set forth in the General Disclosure Package,

likely to be asserted or threatened against it which would have a Material Adverse Effect.
(bb) Title
to Real and Personal Property. Except as set forth in the General Disclosure Package, the Company and its Subsidiaries have valid

(i) do not materially interfere with the use made and proposed to be made of such property by the Company and any of its Subsidiaries
or (ii) would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect. Other than oil and gas properties, any real
or personal property described in the General Disclosure Package as being leased by the Company and any of its Subsidiaries is held by
them under valid, existing and enforceable leases, except those that (A) do not materially interfere with the use made or proposed
to be made of such property by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or (B) would not be reasonably expected, individually or in
the aggregate, to have a Material Adverse Effect. Each of the properties of the Company and its Subsidiaries complies with all applicable
codes, laws and regulations (including, without limitation, building and zoning codes, laws and regulations and laws relating to access
to such properties), except if and to the extent disclosed in the General Disclosure Package or except for such failures to comply that
would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to interfere in any material respect with the use made and proposed
to be made of such property by the Company and its Subsidiaries or otherwise have a Material Adverse Effect. Except as set forth in the
General Disclosure Package, none of the Company or its Subsidiaries has received from any governmental or regulatory authorities any notice
of any condemnation of, or zoning change affecting, the properties of the Company and its Subsidiaries, and the Company knows of no such
condemnation or zoning change which is threatened, in each case except for such that would not reasonably be expected to interfere in
any material respect with the use made and proposed to be made of such property by the Company and its Subsidiaries or otherwise have
a Material Adverse Effect, individually or in the aggregate. The Company and each of its Subsidiaries have such consents, easements, rights
of way or licenses from any person (collectively, “rights-of-way”) as are necessary to enable the Company and each
of its Subsidiaries to conduct its business in the manner described in the General Disclosure Package, subject to such qualifications
as may be set forth in the General Disclosure Package, and except for such rights-of-way the lack of which would not have, individually
or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect or would reasonably be expected to be granted in the future in the ordinary course of business.
(cc) Environmental
Laws. Except as set forth in the General Disclosure Package, the Company and its Subsidiaries (i) are in compliance with any
and all applicable federal, state, local and foreign laws, rules, regulations, decisions and orders relating to the protection of human
health and safety, the environment or hazardous or toxic substances or wastes, pollutants or contaminants (collectively, “Environmental
Laws”); (ii) have received and are in compliance with all permits, licenses or other approvals required of them under applicable
Environmental Laws to conduct their respective businesses as described in the General Disclosure Package, other than permits expected
to be granted in the future in the ordinary course of business or as otherwise described in the General Disclosure Package; and (iii) have
not received notice of any actual or potential liability for the investigation or remediation of any disposal or release of hazardous
or toxic substances or wastes, pollutants or contaminants, except, in the case of any of clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) above,
for any such failure to comply or failure to receive required permits, licenses, other approvals or liability as would not, individually
or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect.
(dd) Internal
and Disclosure Controls. The Company and each of its Subsidiaries maintain systems of internal accounting controls designed 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 generally accepted accounting
principles and to maintain asset accountability; (iii) access to assets is permitted only in accordance with management’s general
or specific authorization; and (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. The Company’s internal control over financial reporting is effective
and the Company is not aware of any material weaknesses in its internal control over financial reporting (other than as set forth in the
General Disclosure Package). Since the date of the latest audited financial statements of the Company included in the General Disclosure
Package, 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 that is required to be disclosed
in the documents incorporated by reference into the General Disclosure Package and the Registration Statement that is not so disclosed.
The Company has established disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15) for the Company
and designed such disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that material information relating to the Company and each of its Subsidiaries
is made known to the certifying officers by others within those entities, particularly during the period in which the Company’s
annual report on Form 10-K or quarterly report on Form 10-Q, as the case may be, is being prepared. The Company’s certifying
officers have evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s controls and procedures as of a date within 90 days prior to the filing
date of the most recent annual report on Form 10-K filed with the Commission (such date, the “Evaluation Date”).
The Company presented in its most recent annual report on Form 10-K filed with the Commission the conclusions of the certifying officers
about the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures based on their evaluations as of the Evaluation Date and the disclosure
controls and procedures are effective.
(ee) Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx

as such, to comply in all material respects with any applicable provisions of the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act and the rules and regulations
promulgated thereunder.
(ff) Finder’s

of the Company, is threatened which would result in a Material Adverse Effect.

(ii) Operations.
The operations of the Company and its Subsidiaries are and have been conducted at all times in compliance with applicable financial record

or similar rules, regulations or guidelines, issued, administered or enforced by any governmental agency (collectively, the “Money
Laundering Laws”), except in each case as would not result in a Material Adverse Effect; and no action, suit or proceeding
by or before any court or governmental agency, authority or body or any arbitrator involving the Company or any of its Subsidiaries with
respect to the Money Laundering Laws is pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened.
(jj) Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangements. There are no “off-balance sheet arrangements” (as defined in Item 303(a)(iv)(2) of Commission
Regulation S-K) between and/or among the Company, and/or, to the knowledge of the Company, any of its affiliates and any unconsolidated
entity, including, but not limited to, any structural finance, special purpose or limited purpose entity required to be described in the
General Disclosure Package which have not been described as required.
(kk) [Intentionally
Omitted]
(ll) ERISA.
To the knowledge of the Company and except as disclosed in the General Disclosure Package, each material employee benefit plan, within
the meaning of Section 3(3) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”),

and any of its Subsidiaries has been maintained in material compliance with its terms and the requirements of any applicable statutes,

no prohibited transaction, within the meaning of Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, has occurred which would
result in a material liability to the Company with respect to any such plan excluding transactions effected pursuant to a statutory or
administrative exemption; and for each such plan that is subject to the funding rules of Section 412 of the Code or Section 302
of ERISA, no “accumulated funding deficiency” as defined in Section 412 of the Code has been incurred, whether or not
waived, and the fair market value of the assets of each such plan (excluding for these purposes accrued but unpaid contributions) exceeds
the present value of all benefits accrued under such plan determined using reasonable actuarial assumptions, except as would not result
in a material liability of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.
(mm) Forward-Looking
Statements. No forward-looking statement (within the meaning of Section 27A of the Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act)
(a “Forward-Looking Statement”) contained in the General Disclosure Package has been made or reaffirmed without a reasonable
basis or has been disclosed other than in good faith. The Forward-Looking Statements incorporated by reference in the General Disclosure
Package from the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year most recently ended were made by the Company with
a reasonable basis and in good faith and reflect the Company’s good faith commercially reasonable best estimate of the matters described
therein.

any other manner that will result in a violation of Sanctions by any Person (including any Person participating in the offering, whether
as underwriter, advisor, investor or otherwise).
(iii) The
Entity represents and covenants that, except as detailed in the Registration Statement and the General Disclosure Package, for the past
five years, it has not knowingly engaged in, is not now knowingly engaged in, and will not knowingly engage in, any dealings or transactions

Statement, the General Disclosure Package and the Final Prospectus have been prepared or audited by independent reserve engineers in accordance

3. Sale
and Delivery of the Offered Securities. On the basis of the representations, warranties and agreements and subject to the terms and
conditions set forth herein, the Company agrees to sell to the several Underwriters, and each of the Underwriters agrees, severally and
not jointly, to purchase from the Company, at a purchase price of $2.88 per share, the respective number of Firm Securities set forth
opposite the names of the Underwriters in Schedule A hereto, provided, however, that the amount paid by the Underwriters for any
Optional Securities shall be reduced by an amount per share equal to any dividends declared by the Company and payable on the Firm Securities
but not payable on such Optional Securities.
The Company will deliver the
Firm Securities to or as instructed by the Representative for the accounts of the several Underwriters in a form reasonably acceptable
to the Representative against payment of the purchase price by the Underwriters in federal (same day) funds by wire transfer to an account
at a bank acceptable to the Representative drawn to the order of the Company at the office of Xxxxx Xxxx & Xxxxxxxx LLP, 000
Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, XX 00000, at 10:00 a.m., New York time, on August 6, 2021, or at such other time not later than seven
full business days thereafter as the Representative and the Company determine, such time being herein referred to as the “First
Closing Date.” For purposes of Rule 15c6-1 under the Exchange Act, the First Closing Date (if later than the otherwise
applicable settlement date) shall be the settlement date for payment of funds and delivery of securities for all the Firm Securities sold
pursuant to the offering. The Firm Securities to be so delivered or evidence of their issuance will be made available for checking at
the above office of Xxxxx Xxxx & Xxxxxxxx LLP at least 24 hours prior to the First Closing Date.
In addition, upon written
notice from the Representative given to the Company from time to time not more than 30 days subsequent to the date of the Prospectus,
the Underwriters may purchase all or less than all of the Optional Securities at the purchase price per share to be paid for the Firm
Securities. The Company agrees to sell to the Underwriters the number of Optional Securities specified in such notice and the Underwriters
agree, severally and not jointly, to purchase such Optional Securities. Such Optional Securities shall be purchased for the account of
each Underwriter in the same proportion as the number of Firm Securities set forth opposite such Underwriter’s name bears to the
total number of Firm Securities (subject to adjustment by the Representative to eliminate fractions) and may be purchased by the Underwriters
only for the purpose of covering over-allotments made in connection with the sale of the Firm Securities. No Optional Securities shall
be sold or delivered unless the Firm Securities previously have been, or simultaneously are, sold and delivered. The right to purchase
the Optional Securities or any portion thereof may be exercised from time to time and to the extent not previously exercised may be surrendered
and terminated at any time upon notice by the Representative to the Company.
Each time for the delivery
of and payment for the Optional Securities, being herein referred to as an “Optional Closing Date,” which may be the
First Closing Date (the First Closing Date and each Optional Closing Date, if any, being sometimes referred to as a “Closing
Date”), shall be determined by the Representative but shall be not later than five full business days after written notice of
election to purchase Optional Securities is given. The Company will deliver the Optional Securities being purchased on each Optional Closing
Date to or as instructed by the Representative for the accounts of the several Underwriters in a form reasonably acceptable to the Representative
against payment of the purchase price therefor in federal (same day) funds by wire transfer to an account at a bank acceptable to the
Representative drawn to the order of the Company, at the above office of Xxxxx Xxxx & Xxxxxxxx LLP. The Optional Securities being
purchased on each Optional Closing Date or evidence of their issuance will be made available for checking at the above office of Xxxxx
Xxxx & Xxxxxxxx LLP at a reasonable time in advance of such Optional Closing Date.
4. Offering

Agreements of the Company. The Company agrees with the Underwriters that:
(a) Filing
of Prospectuses. The Company has filed or will file each Statutory Prospectus (including the Prospectus) pursuant to and in accordance
with Rule 424(b)(2) (or, if applicable and consented to by the Representative, subparagraph (5)) not later than the second business
day following the earlier of the date it is first used or the execution and delivery of this Agreement. The Company has complied and will
comply with Rule 433.
(b) Filing
of Amendments; Response to Commission Requests. The Company will promptly advise the Representative of any proposal to amend or supplement
the Registration Statement or any Statutory Prospectus at any time and will offer the Representative a reasonable opportunity to comment
on any such amendment or supplement, provided that this shall apply only within the period during which a prospectus is required by the
Act to be delivered, whether physically or through compliance with Rule 172 under the Act or any similar rule; and the Company will
also advise the Representative promptly of (i) the filing of any such amendment or supplement, (ii) any request by the Commission
or its staff for any amendment to the Registration Statement, for any supplement to any Statutory Prospectus or for any additional information,
(iii) the institution by the Commission of any stop order proceedings in respect of the Registration Statement or the threatening
of any proceeding for that purpose, and (iv) the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the
qualification of the Offered Securities in any jurisdiction or the institution or threatening of any proceedings for such purpose. The
Company will use its reasonable best efforts to prevent the issuance of any such stop order or the suspension of any such qualification
and, if issued, to obtain as soon as possible the withdrawal thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, clauses (i) and (ii) shall
apply only within the period during which a prospectus is required by the Act to be delivered, whether physically or through compliance
with Rule 172 under the Act or any similar rule.
(c) Continued
Compliance with Securities Laws. If, at any time when a prospectus relating to the Offered Securities is (or but for the exemption
in Rule 172 would be) required to be delivered under the Act by any Underwriter or dealer, any event occurs as a result of which
the Prospectus as then amended or supplemented would include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact
necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, or if it is necessary
at any time to amend the Registration Statement or supplement the Prospectus to comply with the Act, the Company will promptly notify
the Representative of such event and will promptly prepare and file with the Commission and furnish, at its own expense, to the Underwriters
and the dealers and any other dealers upon request of the Representative, an amendment or supplement which will correct such statement
or omission or an amendment which will effect such compliance. Neither the Representative’s consent to, nor the Underwriters’
delivery of, any such amendment or supplement shall constitute a waiver of any of the conditions set forth in Section 7 hereof.
(d) Rule 158.
As soon as practicable, but not later than 16 months after the date of this Agreement, the Company will make generally available to
its securityholders an earnings statement covering a period of at least 12 months beginning after the date of this Agreement and satisfying

(e) Furnishing
of Prospectuses. Upon the request of the Representative, the Company will furnish to the Representative copies of the Registration
Statement, including all exhibits, any Statutory Prospectus, the Prospectus and all amendments and supplements to such documents, in each
case as soon as available and in such quantities as the Representative reasonably requests. The Company will pay the expenses of printing
and distributing to the Underwriters all such documents.
(f) Blue
Sky Qualifications. The Company will arrange, if necessary, for the qualification of the Offered Securities for sale under the laws
of such jurisdictions as the Representative may reasonably designate and will use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain such qualifications
in effect so long as required for the distribution of the Offered Securities; provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated
to file any general consent to service of process or to qualify as a foreign corporation or as a dealer in securities in any jurisdiction
in which it is not so qualified or to subject itself to taxation in respect of doing business in any jurisdiction in which it is not otherwise
so subject.
(g) Reporting
Requirements. During the period of three years hereafter, the Company will furnish to the Representative and, upon request, to each
of the other Underwriters, as soon as practicable after the end of each fiscal year, a copy of its annual report to stockholders for such
year; and the Company will furnish to the Representative (i) as soon as available, a copy of each report and any definitive proxy
statement of the Company filed with the Commission under the Exchange Act or mailed to stockholders, and (ii) from time to time,
such other information concerning the Company as the Representative may reasonably request. However, so long as the Company is subject
to the reporting requirements of either Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act and is timely filing reports with
the Commission on its Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval system (“XXXXX”), it is not required to furnish
such reports or statements to the Underwriters.
(h) Payment
of Expenses. The Company will pay all expenses incident to the performance of its obligations under this Agreement, including but
not limited to (i) any filing fees and other expenses (including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel on behalf of the Underwriters)
incurred in connection with qualification of the Offered Securities for sale under the laws of such jurisdictions as the Representative
reasonably designates and the preparation and printing of memoranda relating thereto, (ii) costs and expenses relating to investor
presentations or any “road show” in connection with the offering and sale of the Offered Securities including, without limitation,

(i) Use
of Proceeds. The Company will use the net proceeds received in connection with this offering in the manner described in the “Use
of Proceeds” section of the General Disclosure Package and, except as disclosed in the General Disclosure Package, the Company does
not intend to use any of the proceeds from the sale of the Offered Securities hereunder to repay any outstanding debt owed to any affiliate
of any Underwriter.
(j) Absence
of Manipulation. The Company will not take, directly or indirectly, any unlawful action designed to or that might reasonably be expected
to cause or result in, or that would constitute, stabilization or manipulation of the price of any securities of the Company to facilitate
the sale or resale of the Offered Securities.
(k) Restriction
on Sale of Securities. For the period specified below (the “Lock-Up Period”), the Company will not, directly or
indirectly, take any of the following actions with respect to its Common Stock, or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or

contemplated in clause (v) below, Form S-4), or publicly disclose the intention to take any such action, without the prior
written consent of the Representative; provided, however, that such consent will not be required in connection with (i) any securities
issued or to be issued pursuant to the Company’s equity incentive or award plans disclosed in the General Disclosure Package, including
securities of the Company issued or to be issued upon the exercise or vesting thereof; (ii) the offer and sale of the Offered Securities
hereunder; (iii) any shares of Common Stock issued upon the conversion of any shares of Series C Preferred Stock that are outstanding

date that the Representative consents to in writing.
6. Issuer
Free Writing Prospectuses. The Company represents and agrees that, unless it obtains the prior consent of the Representative, and
each Underwriter represents and agrees that, unless it obtains the prior consent of the Company and the Representative, it has not made
and will not make any offer relating to the Offered Securities that would constitute an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, or that would
otherwise constitute a “free writing prospectus,” as defined in Rule 405, required to be filed with the Commission. Any
such free writing prospectus consented to by the Company and the Representative is hereinafter referred to as a “Permitted Issuer
Free Writing Prospectus.” The Company represents that it has treated and agrees that it will treat each Permitted Issuer Free Writing
Prospectus as an “issuer free writing prospectus,” as defined in Rule 433, and has complied and will comply with the
requirements of Rules 164 and 433 applicable to any Permitted Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, including timely Commission filing
where required, legending and record keeping.

positive implications of a possible upgrading, and no implication of a possible downgrading, of such rating); (iii) any change in
U.S. or international financial, political or economic conditions or currency exchange rates or exchange controls the effect of which
is such as to make it, in the judgment of the Representative, impractical to market or to enforce contracts for the sale of the Offered

any other national or international calamity or emergency if, in the judgment of the Representative, the effect of any such attack, outbreak,
escalation, act, declaration, calamity or emergency is such as to make it impractical or inadvisable to market the Offered Securities
or to enforce contracts for the sale of the Offered Securities.

Xxxxxx LLP, counsel for the Company, to the effect set forth in Schedule F hereto.

of the Company in this Agreement are true and correct; the Company has complied with all agreements and satisfied all conditions on its
part to be performed or satisfied hereunder at or prior to such Closing Date; no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration
Statement has been issued and no proceedings for that purpose have been instituted or, to their knowledge, are contemplated by the Commission;

The Representative may in its sole discretion waive on behalf of the Underwriters compliance with any conditions to the obligations of
the Underwriters hereunder, whether in respect of an Optional Closing Date or otherwise.
8. Indemnification
and Contribution. (a) Indemnification of the Underwriters. The Company will indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter,
its partners, members, directors, officers, employees, agents, affiliates and each person, if any, who controls such Underwriter within
the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act (each, an “Indemnified Party”), against
any and all losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which such Indemnified Party may become subject, under the Act,
the Exchange Act, other federal or state statutory law or regulation 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 any material fact contained
in any part of the Registration Statement at any time, any Statutory Prospectus as of any time, the Prospectus or any Permitted Issuer
Free Writing Prospectus, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein
or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and will reimburse each Indemnified Party for any legal or other expenses
reasonably incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with investigating or defending against any such loss, claim, damage, liability,
action, litigation, investigation or proceeding (whether or not such Indemnified Party is a party thereto), whether threatened or commenced,
with respect to any of the above as such expenses are incurred; provided, however, that the Company 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 an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement
in or omission or alleged omission from any of such documents in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to
the Company by any Underwriter through the Representative specifically for use therein, it being understood and agreed that the only such
information furnished by any Underwriter through the Representative consists of the information described as such in subsection (b) below.
(b) Indemnification
of the Company. Each Underwriter will indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors and each of its officers who
signs a Registration Statement and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20
of the Exchange Act (each, an “Underwriter Indemnified Party”), severally, and not jointly, against any losses, claims,
damages or liabilities to which such Underwriter Indemnified Party may become subject, under the Act, the Exchange Act, other federal
or state statutory law or regulation 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 any material fact contained in any part of the Registration
Statement at any time, any Statutory Prospectus as of any time, the Prospectus or any Permitted Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, or arise
out of or are based upon the omission or the alleged omission of 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 reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such
Underwriter through the Representative specifically for use therein, and will reimburse any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred
by such Underwriter Indemnified Party in connection with investigating or defending against any such loss, claim, damage, liability, action,
litigation, investigation or proceeding (whether or not such Underwriter Indemnified Party is a party thereto), whether threatened or
commenced, based upon any such untrue statement or omission, or any such alleged untrue statement or omission as such expenses are incurred,
it being understood and agreed that the only such information furnished by any Underwriter consists of the following information in the
Prospectus furnished on behalf of each Underwriter: the information contained in the twelfth paragraph under the heading “Underwriting”
in the Prospectus Supplement.
(c) Actions
against Parties; Notification. Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 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 subsection (a) or
(b) above, notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof; but the failure to notify the indemnifying party shall not
relieve it from any liability that it may have under subsection (a) or (b) above except to the extent that it has been
materially prejudiced (through the forfeiture of substantive rights or defenses) by such failure; and provided further that the failure
to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have to an indemnified party other than under subsection (a) or
(b) above. In case any such action is brought against any indemnified party and it notifies the indemnifying party of the commencement
thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it may wish, jointly with any other indemnifying
party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party (who shall not,
except with the consent of the indemnified party, be counsel to the indemnifying party), and after notice from the indemnifying party
to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified
party under this Agreement for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense
thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified
party (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), effect any settlement of any pending or threatened action in respect of which
any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party unless such
settlement (i) includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on any claims that are the subject
matter of such action and (ii) does not include a statement as to, or an admission of, fault, culpability or a failure to act by
or on behalf of an indemnified party.
(d) Contribution.
If the indemnification provided for in this Section 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 hand from the offering of the
Offered Securities 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 hand in connection with the statements or omissions which 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 several Underwriters on the other hand 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 discounts and commissions received by
the Underwriters. 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’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue
statement or omission. 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 any action or claim which 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 by which the total price at which the Offered Securities underwritten by it and distributed to the public exceeds the amount of
any damages which such Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission
or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act) shall
be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Underwriters’ obligations
in this subsection (d) to contribute are several in proportion to their respective underwriting obligations and not joint. The Company
and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 8(d) were
determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Underwriters were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation
which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in this Section 8(d).
9. Default
of Underwriters. If any Underwriter or Underwriters default in their obligations to purchase Offered Securities hereunder on either
the First or any Optional Closing Date and the aggregate number of Offered Securities that such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters
agreed but failed to purchase does not exceed 10% of the total number of Offered Securities that the Underwriters are obligated to purchase
on such Closing Date, the Representative may make arrangements satisfactory to the Company for the purchase of such Offered Securities
by other persons, including any of the Underwriters, but if no such arrangements are made by such Closing Date, the non-defaulting Underwriters
shall be obligated severally, in proportion to their respective commitments hereunder, to purchase the Offered Securities that such defaulting
Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase on such Closing Date. If any Underwriter or Underwriters so default and the aggregate number
of Offered Securities with respect to which such default or defaults occur exceeds 10% of the total number of Offered Securities that
the Underwriters are obligated to purchase on such Closing Date and arrangements satisfactory to the Representative and the Company for
the purchase of such Offered Securities by other persons are not made within 36 hours after such default, this Agreement will terminate
without liability on the part of any non-defaulting Underwriter or the Company, except as provided in Section 10 (provided that if
such default occurs with respect to Optional Securities after the First Closing Date, this Agreement will not terminate as to the Firm
Securities or any Optional Securities purchased prior to such termination). As used in this Agreement, the term “Underwriter”
includes any person substituted for an Underwriter under this Section. Nothing herein will relieve a defaulting Underwriter from liability
for its default.
10. Survival
of Certain Representations and Obligations. The respective indemnities, agreements, representations, warranties and other statements
of the Company or its officers and of the several Underwriters set forth in or made pursuant to this Agreement will remain in full force
and effect, regardless of any investigation, or statement as to the results thereof, made by or on behalf of any Underwriter, the Company
or any of their respective representatives, officers or directors or any controlling person, and will survive delivery of and payment
for the Offered Securities. If the purchase of the Offered Securities by the Underwriters is not consummated for any reason other than
solely because of the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9 hereof, the Company will reimburse the Underwriters for
all documented, out-of-pocket expenses (including fees and disbursements of counsel) reasonably incurred by them in connection with the
offering of the Offered Securities, and the respective obligations of the Company and the Underwriters pursuant to Section 8 hereof
shall remain in effect. In addition, if any Offered Securities have been purchased hereunder, the representations and warranties in Section 2
and all obligations under Section 5 shall also remain in effect.
11. Notices.
All communications hereunder will be in writing and, if sent to the Underwriters, will be mailed, emailed or delivered and confirmed
to the Representative, c/o X. Xxxxx Securities, Inc., 000 Xxxx Xxxxxx, 00xx Xxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, XX 00000, Attention: General
Counsel, and by email to xxxxx@xxxxxxxxx.xxx; or, if sent to the Company, will be mailed, emailed or delivered and confirmed
to it at Tellurian Inc., 0000 Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxx 0000, Xxxxxxx, XX 00000, Attention: General Counsel, Email: xxxxxx.xxxxxxxxxx@xxxxxxxxxxxx.xxx;
provided, however, that any notice to an Underwriter or the Company pursuant to Section 8 will be mailed, emailed or delivered and
confirmed to such Underwriter or the Company, as applicable.
12. Successors.
This Agreement will inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and the officers and
directors and controlling persons referred to in Section 8, and no other person will have any right or obligation hereunder.
13. Representation
of Underwriters. The Representative will act for the several Underwriters in connection with this financing, and any action under
this Agreement taken by the Representative will be binding upon all the Underwriters.
14. Counterparts.
This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts
shall together constitute one and the same agreement. A signed copy of this Agreement delivered by email or other means of electronic
transmission shall be deemed to have the same legal effect as delivery of an original signed copy of this Agreement.
15. Absence
of Fiduciary Relationship. The Company acknowledges and agrees that:
(a) No
Other Relationship. The Representative has been retained solely to act as underwriter in connection with the sale of Offered Securities
and that no fiduciary, advisory or agency relationship between the Company and the Representative has been created in respect of any of
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Final Prospectus, irrespective of whether the Representative has advised or is
advising the Company on other matters;
(b) Arms-Length
Negotiations. The price of the Offered Securities set forth in this Agreement was established by the Company following discussions
and arms-length negotiations with the Representative, and the Company is capable of evaluating and understanding and understands and accepts
the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement;
(c) Absence
of Obligation to Disclose. The Company has been advised that the Representative and its affiliates are engaged in a broad range of
transactions which may involve interests that differ from those of the Company and that the Representative has no obligation to disclose
such interests and transactions to the Company by virtue of any fiduciary, advisory or agency relationship; and
(d) Waiver.
The Company waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any claims it may have against the Representative for breach of fiduciary
duty or alleged breach of fiduciary duty and agrees that the Representative shall have no liability (whether direct or indirect) to the
Company in respect of such a fiduciary duty claim or to any person asserting a fiduciary duty claim on behalf of or in right of the Company,
including stockholders, employees or creditors of the Company.
16. Integration.
This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements and understandings (whether written or oral) between the Company and the Underwriters with
respect to the subject matter hereof.
17. Applicable
Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.
The Company hereby submits
to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the federal and state courts in the Borough of Manhattan in The City of New York in any suit or proceeding
arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. The Company irrevocably and unconditionally waives
any objection to the laying of venue of any suit or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated
hereby in federal and state courts in the Borough of Manhattan in The City of New York and irrevocably and unconditionally waives and
agrees not to plead or claim in any such court that any such suit or proceeding in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient
forum.
18. Headings.
The headings in this Agreement are for reference only and shall not affect the interpretation of this Agreement.
19. Recognition
of the U.S. Special Resolution Regimes. (a) In the event that an Underwriter that is a Covered Entity, becomes subject
to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer from such Underwriter of this Agreement, and any interest and obligation
in or under this Agreement, will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution
Regime if this Agreement, and any such interest and obligation, were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United
States.
(b) In
the event that an Underwriter that is a Covered Entity, or a BHC Act Affiliate of the Underwriter becomes subject to a proceeding under
a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under this Agreement that may be exercised against such Underwriter are permitted to
be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this Agreement
were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.
