Item 8.01. Other Events.

In connection with the commencement

of an equity offering program under which shares (the “Shares”) of the common stock of OGE Energy Corp. (NYSE: OGE) (the “Company”)

having an aggregate sales price of up to $750,000,000 may be offered and sold from time to time (the “Offering”), the Company

filed today with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) a prospectus supplement dated October 28, 2026 (the

“Prospectus Supplement”). The Shares may be offered and sold in amounts and at times to be determined by the Company from

time to time, but the Company has no obligation to offer and sell any of the Shares in the Offering. Actual sales will depend on a variety

of factors to be determined by the Company from time to time, including (among others) market conditions, the trading price of the Company’s

common stock and determinations by the Company of the appropriate sources of funding for the Company.

The Offering will occur pursuant

to an equity distribution agreement (“Agreement”) entered into among (A) the Company, (B) Barclays Bank PLC, Bank

of Montreal, The Bank of New York Mellon, Bank of America, N.A., JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association, Mizuho Markets Americas LLC,

Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, MUFG Securities EMEA plc, Royal Bank of Canada, The Bank of Nova Scotia and Wells Fargo Bank, National

Association, each in its capacity as forward purchaser under any Confirmation (as defined therein) (each, a “Forward Purchaser”

and, together, the “Forward Purchasers”), (C) Barclays Capital Inc., BMO Capital Markets Corp., BofA Securities, Inc.,

BTIG, LLC, J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, Mizuho Securities USA LLC, Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, MUFG Securities Americas Inc., PNC

Capital Markets LLC, RBC Capital Markets, LLC, Scotia Capital (USA) Inc. and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, each in its capacity as agent

for the Company and/or principal in connection with the offering and sale of any Issuance Shares (as defined therein) (each, an “Agent”

and, together, the “Agents”), and (D) Barclays Capital Inc., BMO Capital Markets Corp., BNY Mellon Capital Markets, LLC

(acting through BTIG, LLC as agent), BofA Securities, Inc., J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, Mizuho Securities USA LLC, Morgan Stanley &

Co. LLC, MUFG Securities Americas Inc., RBC Capital Markets, LLC, Scotia Capital (USA) Inc. and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, each in its

capacity as agent for the related Forward Purchaser in connection with the offering and sale of any Forward Hedge Shares (as defined therein)

thereunder (each, a “Forward Seller” and, together, the “Forward Sellers”). The Agents and the Forward Sellers

will be entitled to compensation as provided under the terms of the Agreement.

In connection with each particular

forward sale transaction, the relevant Forward Purchaser or its affiliate will, at the Company’s request, borrow from third parties

and, through the relevant Forward Seller, sell a number of the Shares equal to the number of Shares underlying the particular forward

sale transaction.

The Company will not initially

receive any proceeds from the sale of borrowed shares by a Forward Seller. The Company expects to physically settle each particular forward

sale transaction with the relevant Forward Purchaser on one or more dates specified by the Company on or prior to the maturity date of

that particular forward sale agreement, in which case the Company expects to receive per share cash proceeds at settlement equal to the

forward sale price under the relevant forward sale agreement. However, the Company may elect to cash settle or net share settle a particular

forward sale transaction, in which case the Company may not receive any proceeds (in the case of cash settlement) or will not receive

any proceeds (in the case of net share settlement), and the Company may owe cash (in the case of cash settlement) or shares (in the case

of net share settlement) to the relevant Forward Purchaser.

Sales of the Shares, if any,

under the Agreement may be made in privately negotiated transactions, including block trades, or transactions that are deemed to be “at

the market offerings” as defined in Rule 415 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, including by ordinary brokers’

transactions through the facilities of the NYSE, to or through a market maker or directly on or through an electronic communications network,

at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices, through forward

purchases, or as otherwise agreed with the Agents and the forward sellers (and any related forward purchasers), in any manner permitted

by applicable law. No Agent or forward seller is required to sell any specific number or dollar amount of common stock but, as instructed

by us, will make all sales using commercially reasonable efforts, consistent with its normal trading and sales practices, subject to the

terms and conditions of the Agreement, the related forward sale agreement and other mutually agreed terms. The Company may at any time

suspend solicitation and offers under the Agreement or terminate the Agreement.

The Shares will be offered

pursuant to the Company’s automatic shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-279061) and the Prospectus

Supplement filed with the SEC on October 28, 2026. This Current Report shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation

of an offer to buy nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any state in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful

prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state.

In the ordinary course of

their respective businesses, the Agents, the Forward Purchasers and the Forward Sellers and/or their affiliates have in the past and may

in the future provide the Company and its affiliates with financial advisory and other services for which they have and in the future

will receive customary fees. For example, affiliates of certain of the Agents are lenders under the Company’s credit facilities.

In connection with their participation in the Company’s credit facilities, such affiliates of such Agents receive customary fees,

and to the extent that the Company uses any of the net proceeds from the offering of the Shares to repay future borrowings outstanding

under the Company’s credit facilities, such affiliates of such Agents will receive their proportionate share of any amount of the

Company’s credit facilities that is repaid with the net proceeds from the offering of the Shares.

The foregoing description

of the Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the provisions of the Agreement, including the form

of Confirmation, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 1.01 and incorporated by reference herein.

This Current Report on Form 8-K

any Forward Hedge Shares (as defined in Section 2) hereunder (each, a “Forward Seller” and, together, the “Forward

SECTION 1.     Description

of Shares.

The Company agrees that, from

time to time during the term of this Agreement, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, Shares (as defined in Section 2)

of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), having an aggregate Sales Price

(as defined in Section 2) of up to $750,000,000 (the “Maximum Amount”) may be offered and sold. Notwithstanding

anything to the contrary contained herein, the parties hereto agree that compliance with the limitations set forth in this Section 1

regarding the number and aggregate Sales Price of the Shares offered and sold under this Agreement shall be the sole responsibility of

the Company, and none of the Agents, the Forward Sellers or the Forward Purchasers shall have any obligation in connection with such compliance.

The offer and sale of the Shares will be effected pursuant to the Registration Statement (as defined below) that was filed by the Company

and became effective upon filing under Rule 462(e) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, although nothing in this Agreement

shall be construed as requiring the Company to use the Registration Statement to issue the Shares. The Company agrees that, whenever it

determines to sell Shares directly to an Agent as principal, the Company will enter into a separate written agreement with such Agent

containing the terms and conditions of such sale.

The Company has filed, in

accordance with the provisions of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder (collectively,

the “Securities Act”), with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) an automatic

shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-279061), including a base prospectus, relating to certain securities,

including the Shares, to be issued from time to time by the Company, and which incorporates by reference documents that the Company has

filed or will file in accordance with the provisions of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations

thereunder (collectively, the “Exchange Act”). The Company has prepared a prospectus supplement specifically relating

to the Shares (the “Prospectus Supplement”) to the base prospectus included as part of such registration statement.

The Company will furnish to the Agents and the Forward Sellers, for use by the Agents and the Forward Sellers, by email or other electronic

transmission, copies of the base prospectus included as part of such registration statement, as supplemented by the Prospectus Supplement

relating to the Shares. Except where the context otherwise requires, such registration statement, including all documents incorporated

or deemed incorporated by reference therein, and including any information contained in a Prospectus (as defined below) subsequently filed

with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act or deemed to be a part of such registration statement pursuant

to Rule 430B under the Securities Act, is herein called the “Registration Statement”. The base prospectus, including

all documents incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference therein, included in the Registration Statement, as it may be supplemented

by the Prospectus Supplement, in the form in which such base prospectus and/or Prospectus Supplement have most recently been filed by

the Company with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act, is herein called the “Prospectus”.

Any reference herein to the Registration Statement or the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement or the

Prospectus shall be deemed to refer to and include the documents incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference therein, and any

reference herein to the terms “amend”, “amendment” or “supplement” with respect to the Registration

Statement or the Prospectus shall be deemed to refer to and include the filing after the execution hereof of any document with the Commission

deemed to be incorporated by reference therein. For purposes of this Agreement, all references to the Registration Statement, the Prospectus

or any amendment or supplement thereto shall be deemed to include any copy filed with the Commission pursuant to the Commission’s

Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval system (“EDGAR”).

acceptance of the terms of the Placement Notice or upon receipt by an Agent or a Forward Seller and Forward Purchaser, as applicable,

of the Company’s Acceptance, as the case may be, unless and until (i) the entire amount of the Placement Shares has been sold,

(ii) in accordance with the notice requirements set forth in the second sentence of Section 3(a), the Company terminates the

Placement Notice, (iii) the Company issues a subsequent Placement Notice with parameters superseding those in the earlier dated Placement

Notice, (iv) this Agreement has been terminated under the provisions of Section 10(l) or Section 13 or (v) any

party hereto shall have suspended the sale of the Placement Shares in accordance with Section 5. The amount of any discount, commission

or other compensation to be paid by the Company to an Agent, when such Agent is acting as agent, in connection with the sale of the Issuance

Shares shall be calculated in accordance with the terms set forth on Exhibit C attached hereto. The amount of any discount,

commission or other compensation to be paid by the Company to an Agent, when such Agent is acting as principal, in connection with the

sale of the Placement Shares shall be as separately agreed in writing among the relevant parties hereto at the time of any such sales.

With respect to an Issuance, it is expressly acknowledged and agreed that neither the Company nor any Agent will have any obligation whatsoever

with respect to a Placement or any Placement Shares unless and until the Company delivers a Placement Notice to an Agent and either (i) such

Agent accepts the terms of such Placement Notice or (ii) where the terms of such Placement Notice are amended by such Agent, the

Company accepts such amended terms by means of an Acceptance pursuant to the terms set forth above, and then only upon the terms specified

in the Placement Notice (as amended by the corresponding Acceptance, if applicable) and herein. With respect to a Forward, it is expressly

acknowledged and agreed that the Company, the applicable Forward Seller and the applicable Forward Purchaser will have no obligation whatsoever

with respect to a Placement or any Placement Shares unless and until (i) the Company delivers a Placement Notice to such Forward

Seller and Forward Purchaser and either (x) such Forward Seller and Forward Purchaser accept the terms of such Placement Notice or

(y) where the terms of such Placement Notice are amended by such Forward Seller or Forward Purchaser, the Company accepts such amended

terms by means of an Acceptance pursuant to the terms set forth above, and then only upon the terms specified in the Placement Notice

(as amended by the corresponding Acceptance, if applicable), this Agreement and the applicable Confirmation, and (ii) the Forward

Purchaser executes and delivers to the Company the applicable Confirmation. In the event of a conflict between the terms of this Agreement

and the terms of a Placement Notice (as amended by the corresponding Acceptance, if applicable), the terms of the Placement Notice (as

amended by the corresponding Acceptance, if applicable) will control.

Placement Notice may be delivered hereunder other than during the Commitment Period. No Placement Notice may be delivered hereunder if

any Selling Period specified therein would overlap in whole or in part with (x) any Unwind Period under any Confirmation (as defined

in such Confirmation) entered into between the Company and any Forward Purchaser or (y) any “unwind period” under any

forward sale agreement or additional forward sale agreement entered into between the Company and any “forward purchaser” in

connection with the Underwriting Agreement dated November 20, 2025, to which the Company is party, and no Placement Notice specifying

that it relates to a “Forward” may be delivered if such Placement Notice, together with all prior Placement Notices (as amended

by the corresponding Acceptance, if applicable) delivered by the Company relating to a Forward hereunder, would result in the aggregate

Capped Number under all Confirmations entered into or to be entered into between the Company and the Forward Purchasers exceeding (x) 19.99%

of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding as of the date of this Agreement or (y) the number of authorized shares of Common

Stock not reserved for other purposes.

efforts to sell the Issuance Shares up to the amount specified in, and otherwise in accordance with the terms of, such Placement Notice

(as amended by the corresponding Acceptance, if applicable). Such Agent will use its reasonable best efforts to provide a preliminary

written summary to the Company (to each of those individuals set forth on Exhibit B attached hereto) no later than 6:00 p.m.

Section 7(b)) payable to the Company, with an itemization of the deductions made by such Agent (as set forth in Section 7(b))

from the gross proceeds that it receives from such sales.

(b)           Subject

to the provisions of Section 7(d) and the applicable Confirmation, upon the delivery of a Placement Notice (as amended by the

corresponding Acceptance, if applicable) specifying that it relates to a “Forward” and execution and delivery by the parties

thereto of the applicable Confirmation, the applicable Forward Purchaser will use its commercially reasonable efforts to borrow (or cause

its affiliate to borrow), offer and sell Forward Hedge Shares through the applicable Forward Seller to hedge the Forward, and the applicable

Forward Seller will use its commercially reasonable efforts consistent with its normal trading and sales practices to sell such Forward

Hedge Shares at market prevailing prices up to the Forward Hedge Amount specified in such Placement Notice (as amended by the corresponding

Acceptance, if applicable), and otherwise in accordance with the terms of such Placement Notice (as amended by the corresponding Acceptance,

if applicable). Such Forward Seller will use its reasonable best efforts to provide a preliminary written summary to the Company (to each

Day on which such Forward Seller has made sales of Forward Hedge Shares hereunder, and such Forward Seller will provide written confirmation

to the Company no later than the opening of the Trading Day immediately following the Trading Day on which such Forward Seller has made

sales of Forward Hedge Shares hereunder, in each case setting forth the number of Forward Hedge Shares sold on such day, the corresponding

Sales Price and, if such day is also the Hedge Completion Date (as determined pursuant to the terms of the relevant Confirmation), the

Initial Forward Price payable to such Forward Purchaser in respect thereof.

later than the opening of the Trading Day immediately following the last Trading Day of any Initial Hedge Period (or, if earlier, the

date on which any Initial Hedge Period is suspended or terminated pursuant to Section 3 or the applicable Confirmation), the Forward

Purchaser shall execute and deliver to the Company a pricing supplement in the form of Annex B attached to Exhibit I attached

hereto in respect of the Forward, which shall set forth the initial “Base Amount” for such Forward (which shall be the Actual

Sold Forward Amount for such Initial Hedge Period), the “Hedge Completion Date” for such Forward and the “Initial Forward

Price” for such Forward.

(d)           Notwithstanding

anything herein to the contrary, any Forward Purchaser’s obligation to use its commercially reasonable efforts to borrow or cause

its affiliate to borrow all or any portion of the Forward Hedge Shares (and the applicable Forward Seller’s obligation to use its

commercially reasonable efforts consistent with its normal trading and sales practices to sell such portion of the Forward Hedge Shares)

for any Forward hereunder shall be subject in all respects to the first paragraph of Section 3 of the applicable Confirmation.

(e)           Subject

to the terms of the Placement Notice (as amended by the corresponding Acceptance, if applicable) and the relevant Confirmation (if applicable),

the Placement Shares may be offered and sold in negotiated transactions, including block trades, by any method permitted by law deemed

to be an “at the market offering” as defined in Rule 415 under the Securities Act, by means of ordinary brokers’

transactions at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, including, without limitation, sales made directly on the NYSE, on any other

existing trading market for the Common Stock or to or through a market maker. Subject to the terms of the Placement Notice (as amended

by the corresponding Acceptance, if applicable) and the relevant Confirmation (if applicable), the Placement Shares may be offered and

sold by any other method permitted by law, including, without limitation, in privately negotiated transactions. For the purposes hereof,

“Trading Day” means any day on which shares of Common Stock are purchased and sold on the principal market on which

the Common Stock is listed or quoted.

SECTION 5.     Suspension

of Sales.

The Company, an Agent, a Forward

Seller or a Forward Purchaser may, upon notice to the other relevant parties hereto in writing (including by email correspondence to the

individuals of the other relevant parties hereto set forth on Exhibit B attached hereto, if receipt of such correspondence

is actually acknowledged by any of the individuals to whom the notice is sent, other than via auto-reply) or by telephone (confirmed immediately

by verifiable facsimile transmission or email correspondence to each of the individuals of such other relevant parties set forth on Exhibit B

attached hereto), suspend any sale of Placement Shares; provided, however, that such suspension shall not affect or impair

the obligations of any party hereto with respect to any Placement Shares sold hereunder prior to the receipt of such notice (and, in the

case of any Forward Hedge Shares, the resulting Confirmation). Each of the parties hereto agrees that no such notice under this Section 5

shall be effective against the other parties hereto unless it is made to one of the individuals named on Exhibit B attached

hereto; provided, however, that the failure by an Agent, a Forward Seller or a Forward Purchaser to deliver such notice

shall in no way effect such party’s right to suspend the sale of Shares hereunder.

SECTION 6.     Representations

and Warranties.

(a)           Representations

and Warranties by the Company. The Company represents and warrants to each Agent, each Forward Seller and each Forward Purchaser as

of the date hereof, as of each Representation Date (as defined in Section 8(o)) on which a certificate is required to be delivered

pursuant to Section 8(o), as of the date each Placement Notice is effective, as of the time of each sale of any Shares pursuant to

this Agreement (each, an “Applicable Time”) and as of each Settlement Date, and agrees with each Agent, each Forward

Seller and each Forward Purchaser, as follows:

(1)             Compliance

with Registration Requirements. The offer and sale of the Shares have been duly registered under the Securities Act pursuant to the

Registration Statement. The Registration Statement has become effective under the Securities Act, and no stop order preventing or suspending

the use of any base prospectus, the Prospectus Supplement, the Prospectus or any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus (as defined in Section 20),

or the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, has been issued and no proceedings for such purpose have been instituted or are pending

or, to the knowledge of the Company, are contemplated by the Commission, and any request on the part of the Commission for additional

information has been complied with.

At the respective

times each of the Registration Statement and any post-effective amendments thereto became or becomes effective and as of the date hereof,

the Registration Statement and any amendments and supplements thereto complied and will comply in all material respects with the requirements

of the Securities Act. At the respective times that each of the Registration Statement and any post-effective amendments thereto became

or becomes effective and that any Annual Report on Form 10-K of the Company is filed with the Commission, the Company met or will

meet the eligibility requirements for use of a registration statement on Form S-3. The Registration Statement meets, and the offering

and sale of the Shares as contemplated hereby comply with, the requirements of Rule 415 under the Securities Act. The Registration

Statement, as of the date hereof and each effective date with respect thereto, did not and will not contain an untrue statement of a material

fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading. Neither

the Prospectus nor any amendments or supplements thereto, as of their respective dates, and at each Applicable Time and Settlement Date,

as the case may be, included or will include an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or will omit to state a material fact necessary

in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

The representations

and warranties set forth in the immediately preceding paragraph shall not apply to (A) the part of the Registration Statement which

constitutes the Statement of Eligibility and Qualification (Form T-1) under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 of the Trustee, (B) information

contained in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus relating to The Depository Trust Company and its book entry system, or (C) statements

in or omissions from the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, as amended or supplemented, made in reliance upon and in conformity

with information furnished to the Company in writing by the Agents, the Forward Sellers and the Forward Purchasers expressly for use therein.

For purposes of this Agreement, the only information so furnished shall be the legal and/or marketing names of the Agents, the Forward

Sellers and the Forward Purchasers appearing on the front cover page of the Prospectus.

The copies of the

Registration Statement and any amendments thereto, any other preliminary prospectus, each “issuer free writing prospectus”

(as such term is defined in Rule 433 under the Securities Act) that is required to be filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 433

under the Securities Act and the Prospectus and any amendments or supplements thereto delivered and to be delivered to the Agents or the

Forward Sellers (electronically or otherwise) in connection with the offering of the Shares were and will be identical to the electronically

transmitted copies thereof filed with the Commission pursuant to EDGAR, except to the extent permitted by Regulation S-T.

Each “issuer

free writing prospectus”, as defined in Rule 433 under the Securities Act, relating to the Shares that (i) is required

to be filed with the Commission by the Company, (ii) is a “road show” that is a “written communication” within

the meaning of Rule 433(d)(8)(i) under the Securities Act, whether or not required to be filed with the Commission, or (iii) is

exempt from filing pursuant to Rule 433(d)(5)(i) under the Securities Act because it contains a description of the Shares or

of the offering that does not reflect the final terms, and all free writing prospectuses that are listed in Exhibit H attached

hereto, in each case in the form furnished (electronically or otherwise) to the Agents or the Forward Sellers for use in connection with

the offering of the Shares (each, an “Issuer Free Writing Prospectus”), as of its issue date and (except to the extent

such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus has been superseded or modified by a subsequent Issuer Free Writing Prospectus) as of each Applicable

Time and Settlement Date, did not, does not and will not (A) include any information that conflicted, conflicts or will conflict

with the information contained in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, including any incorporated document deemed to be a part

thereof that has not been superseded or modified, or (B) when read together with the information in the Registration Statement and

the Prospectus (as each may be amended or supplemented), include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact

necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances prevailing at that subsequent time, not misleading. The

foregoing sentence does not apply to statements in or omissions from any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus based upon and in conformity with

information furnished to the Company in writing by the Agents, the Forward Sellers and the Forward Purchasers expressly for use therein.

At the time of the

initial filing of the Registration Statement, at the time of the most recent amendment thereto for the purposes of complying with Section 10(a)(3) of

the Securities Act (whether such amendment was by post-effective amendment, incorporated report filed pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of

the Exchange Act or form of prospectus), at the time the Company or any person acting on its behalf (within the meaning, for this paragraph

only, of Rule 163(c) under the Securities Act) made any offer relating to the Shares in reliance on the exemption of Rule 163

under the Securities Act and at the date hereof, the Company was and is a “well-known seasoned issuer” as defined in Rule 405

under the Securities Act, including not having been and not being an “ineligible issuer”, as defined in Rule 405 under

the Securities Act. Without limitation to the foregoing, the Company has at all relevant times met, meets and will at all relevant times

meet the requirements of Rule 164 under the Securities Act for the use of a free writing prospectus (as defined in Rule 405

under the Securities Act) in connection with the offering contemplated hereby.

Each document incorporated

by reference or deemed to be incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus heretofore filed, when it was filed

(or, if any amendment with respect to any such document was filed, when such amendment was filed), conformed in all material respects

with the requirements of the Exchange Act, and any further documents so filed and incorporated after the date of this Agreement will,

when they are filed, conform in all material respects with the requirements of the Exchange Act. No such document, when it was filed (or,

if an amendment with respect to any such document was filed, when such amendment was filed), contained an untrue statement of a material

fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light

of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. No such document, when it is filed, will contain an untrue statement

of a material fact or will omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein,

in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

The Registration

Statement is an automatic shelf registration statement (as defined for purposes of this Section 6(a)(1) in Rule 405 under

the Securities Act) and initially became effective not earlier than the date that is three years prior to the date hereof. The Company

has not received from the Commission any notice pursuant to Rule 401(g)(2) under the Securities Act objecting to the use of

the automatic shelf registration statement form, and the Shares have been and remain eligible for registration by the Company on an automatic

shelf registration statement form.

(2)             Prior

Written Communications. Any offer that is a written communication relating to the Shares made prior to the initial filing of the Registration

Statement by the Company or any person acting on its behalf (within the meaning, for this paragraph only, of Rule 163(c) under

the Securities Act) has been filed with the Commission in accordance with the exemption provided by Rule 163 under the Securities

Act and otherwise complied with the requirements of Rule 163 under the Securities Act, including, without limitation, the legending

requirement.

(3)             NYSE.

The outstanding shares of Common Stock and the Placement Shares to be sold by the Company hereunder and under any applicable Confirmation

have been approved for listing, subject only to official notice of issuance, on the NYSE, or the Company shall have filed an application

for listing of the Placement Shares on the NYSE at, or prior to, the issuance of any Placement Notice. The outstanding shares of Common

Stock and the Placement Shares to be sold by the Company hereunder are registered pursuant to Section 12(b) of the Exchange

Act. The Company has not taken any action designed to, or likely to have the effect of, terminating the registration of the Shares under

the Exchange Act or delisting any such securities from the NYSE, nor has the Company received any notification that the Commission or

the NYSE is contemplating terminating such registration or listing.

(4)             Permitted

Free Writing Prospectus. The Company has not distributed and will not distribute any offering material in connection with the offering

and sale of the Shares to be sold hereunder by the Agents in their capacity as principals or agents or the Forward Sellers in their capacity

as agents, other than the Prospectus and any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus reviewed and consented to by the relevant Agents and the

relevant Forward Sellers.

(5)             Actively

Traded Security. The Common Stock is an “actively-traded security” excepted from the requirements of Rule 101 of

Regulation M under the Exchange Act by subsection (c)(1) of such rule.

(6)             Absence

of Manipulation. Other than excepted activity pursuant to Regulation M under the Exchange Act, the Company has not taken and will

not take, directly or indirectly, any action designed to, or that would constitute or that might reasonably be expected to, cause or result

in the stabilization or manipulation of the price of any security to facilitate the sale or resale of the Shares.

(7)             Accuracy

of Exhibits. There are no contracts or documents which are required to be described in the Registration Statement, Prospectus or the

documents incorporated by reference therein or to be filed as exhibits thereto which have not been so described or filed as required.

(8)             No

Other Contracts. Other than this Agreement and the Confirmations, if any, there are no contracts, agreements or understandings between

the Company or any of its Significant Subsidiaries and any person or entity that would give rise to a valid claim against the Company

or any of its Significant Subsidiaries or any Agent, Forward Seller or Forward Purchaser for a brokerage commission, finder’s fee

or other like payment with respect to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(9)             Independent

Accountants. Ernst & Young LLP, the accountants who examined and audited the Company's financial statements and supporting

schedules included in the Registration Statement, is an independent registered public accounting firm as required by the Securities Act

and the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”). Each other accounting firm, if any, that

has certified or reported on any other financial statements included or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus

or any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus is an independent registered public accounting firm with respect to the Company and its Significant

Subsidiaries or other appropriate entity, as applicable, within the applicable rules and regulations adopted by the Commission and

the PCAOB and as required by the Securities Act.

(10)           Financial

Statements. The financial statements included or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus,

together with the related schedules and notes, present fairly the financial position of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries

at the dates indicated and the results of operations, stockholders’ equity and cash flows of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries

for the periods specified; said financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”)

applied on a consistent basis throughout the periods involved, except as otherwise stated in the notes thereto. The supporting schedules,

if any, included or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement present fairly in accordance with GAAP the information required

to be stated therein. The summary or selected financial information included or incorporated by reference in the Prospectus presents fairly

the information shown therein and has been compiled on a basis consistent with that of the audited financial statements included or incorporated

by reference in the Registration Statement. The Company has no material contingent obligation which is not disclosed in the Prospectus.

(11)           Pro

Forma Financial Statements. Any pro forma financial statements of the Company and its Significant Subsidiaries and the related notes

thereto, if any, incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus have been prepared in accordance with the

Commission’s rules and guidelines with respect to pro forma financial statements and have been properly compiled on the bases

described therein. Any pro forma financial statements included or incorporated by reference in the Prospectus comply as to form in all

material respects with the applicable requirements of Regulation S-X under the Securities Act.

(12)           No

Material Adverse Change. Since the respective dates as of which information is given or incorporated by reference in the Registration

Statement and the Prospectus, except as otherwise stated therein, (A) there has been no material adverse change in the condition,

financial or otherwise, or in the earnings, results of operations, properties, business affairs or business prospects of the Company and

its subsidiaries taken as a whole, whether or not arising in the ordinary course of business (a “Material Adverse Effect”),

and (B) there have been no transactions entered into by the Company, other than those in the ordinary course of business, which are

material with respect to the Company and its subsidiaries taken as a whole.

(13)           Good

Standing of the Company. The Company has been duly organized and is validly existing as a corporation in good standing under the

laws of the State of Oklahoma and has corporate power and authority to own, lease and operate its properties and to conduct its business

as described in the Prospectus and to enter into and perform its obligations under this Agreement; and the Company is duly qualified

as a foreign corporation to transact business and is in good standing in each other jurisdiction in which such qualification is required,

whether by reason of the ownership or leasing of property or the conduct of business, except where the failure so to qualify or to be

in good standing would not result in a Material Adverse Effect.

(14)           Good

Standing of the Company’s Subsidiaries. Oklahoma Gas and Electric Company is the Company’s only “significant subsidiary”

as such term is defined in Rule 1-02(w) of Regulation S-X (the “Significant Subsidiary”). The Significant Subsidiary

has been duly organized and is validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization and is duly

qualified to transact business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which it owns or leases substantial properties or in which

the conduct of its business requires such qualification, except where the failure so to qualify or to be in good standing would not result

in a Material Adverse Effect. The equity interests of each subsidiary owned by the Company, directly or through subsidiaries, are owned

free and clear of any pledge, lien, encumbrance, or claim, except as disclosed in the Registration Statement.

(15)           Capitalization.

The authorized, issued and outstanding capital stock of the Company is as stated in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus. The

shares of issued and outstanding capital stock of the Company have been duly and validly issued and are fully paid and non-assessable.

(16)           Equity

Distribution Agreement. This Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company, and the Company has full corporate

power and authority to enter into, and perform its obligations under, this Agreement and the Confirmations, if any.

(17)           Confirmations.

Each Confirmation, if any, will be duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company and will constitute valid and legally binding

agreements of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable

bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’

rights generally or by equitable principles relating to enforceability.

(18)           Authorization

of the Shares. The Shares have been duly authorized for issuance and sale pursuant to this Agreement and, when issued and delivered

against payment of the purchase price therefor as provided in this Agreement, will be duly authorized, validly issued and fully paid

and non-assessable. Shareholders of the Company will have no preemptive rights with respect to the issuance of the Shares. The maximum

number of shares of Common Stock deliverable to the Forward Purchasers in the aggregate pursuant to any Confirmation, whether pursuant

to physical settlement or net share settlement or otherwise, have been duly authorized and reserved for issuance and, when issued, sold

and delivered by the Company to the Forward Purchasers pursuant to any Confirmation, as the case may be, against payment of any consideration

required to be paid by the Forward Purchasers pursuant to the terms of any Confirmation, as the case may be, such shares of Common Stock

will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, and the issuance thereof will not be subject to any preemptive or similar rights.

(19)           Description

of the Common Stock. The Common Stock conforms and the Shares will conform in all material respects to the description contained in

the Prospectus.

(20)           Absence

of Defaults and Conflicts. Neither the Company nor any Significant Subsidiary is (i) in violation of its charter or by-laws

or similar organizational documents, (ii) in default in the performance or observance of any obligation, agreement, covenant or

condition contained in any contract, indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan or credit agreement, note, lease or other agreement or

instrument to which it is a party or by which it may be bound, or to which any of its property or assets is subject (collectively, “Agreements

and Instruments”) or (iii) except as disclosed in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, in violation of

any law, ordinance, governmental rule, regulation or court decree to which it or its property or assets may be subject except in the

case of (ii) and (iii) for such defaults or violations that could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse

Effect; and the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement, any Confirmation, the issuance and delivery of the Shares, and

the consummation of the transactions contemplated herein and in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus (including the use of proceeds

from the sale of the Shares as described in the Prospectus under the caption “Use of Proceeds”) and compliance by the Company

with its obligations hereunder and under any Confirmation have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action and do not and

will not, whether with or without the giving of notice or passage of time or both, conflict with or constitute a breach of, or default

or Repayment Event (as defined below) under, or result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any property

or assets of the Company or any Significant Subsidiaries pursuant to, the Agreements and Instruments (except for such conflicts, breaches,

defaults or liens, charges or encumbrances that would not result in a Material Adverse Effect), nor will such action result in any violation

of the provisions of the charter or by-laws or similar organizational documents of the Company or any Significant Subsidiaries or any

applicable law, statute, rule, regulation, judgment, order, writ or decree of any government, government instrumentality or court, domestic

or foreign, having jurisdiction over the Company or any Significant Subsidiaries or any of their assets, properties or operations. As

used herein, a “Repayment Event” means any event or condition which gives the holder of any note, debenture

or other evidence of indebtedness (or any person acting on such holder’s behalf) the right to require the repurchase, redemption

or repayment of all or a portion of such indebtedness by the Company or any Significant Subsidiary, other than such events or conditions

that are contemplated by the terms of this Agreement.

(21)           Absence

of Proceedings. Other than as disclosed in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, there is no action, suit, proceeding, inquiry

or investigation before or brought by any court or governmental agency or body, domestic or foreign, now pending, or, to the knowledge

of the Company, threatened, against or affecting the Company or any of its subsidiaries, which is required to be disclosed in the Registration

Statement or which might reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, or which might reasonably be expected to materially

and adversely affect the consummation of the transactions contemplated in this Agreement, any Confirmation, or the performance by the

Company of its obligations hereunder. The aggregate of all pending legal or governmental proceedings to which the Company or any of its

subsidiaries is a party or of which any of their property or assets is the subject which are not described in the Registration Statement

and the Prospectus including ordinary routine litigation incidental to their businesses, could not reasonably be expected to result in

a Material Adverse Effect.

(22)           Absence

of Further Requirements. No filing with, or authorization, approval, consent, license, order, registration, qualification or decree

of, any court or governmental authority or agency is necessary or required for the performance by the Company of its obligations hereunder,

under any Confirmation, in connection with the offering, issuance or sale of the Shares hereunder or any Confirmation or the consummation

of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, except such as have been already

obtained.

(23)           Possession

of Licenses and Permits. The Company and its subsidiaries possess such permits, licenses, approvals, consents, franchises and other

authorizations issued by the appropriate federal, state, local or foreign regulatory agencies or bodies necessary to conduct in all material

respects the business now operated by them and as described in the Registration Statement and Prospectus, except where the failure so

to possess such permit, license, approval, consent or authorization would not, singly or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect

(collectively, “Governmental Licenses”); the Company and each subsidiary is in compliance with the terms

and conditions of all such Governmental Licenses, except where the failure so to comply would not, singly or in the aggregate, have a

Material Adverse Effect; all of the Governmental Licenses are in full force and effect, except where the invalidity of such Governmental

Licenses or the failure of such Governmental Licenses to be in full force and effect, singly or in the aggregate, would not have a Material

Adverse Effect; and neither the Company nor any subsidiary has received any notice of proceedings relating to the revocation or modification

Placement Notice (as amended by the corresponding Acceptance, if applicable), will use its commercially reasonable efforts to sell such

Issuance Shares up to the amount specified in, and otherwise in accordance with the terms of, such Placement Notice (as amended by the

corresponding Acceptance, if applicable). The Company acknowledges and agrees that (i) there can be no assurance that any Agent will

reasonable efforts consistent with its normal trading and sales practices to sell such Forward Hedge Shares at market prevailing prices,

and otherwise in accordance with the terms of such Placement Notice (as amended by the corresponding Acceptance, if applicable). Each

of the Company and the Forward Purchasers acknowledges and agrees that (i) there can be no assurance that any Forward Purchaser or

its affiliate will be successful in borrowing or that any Forward Seller will be successful in selling Forward Hedge Shares, (ii) no

Forward Seller will incur any liability or obligation to the Company, any Forward Purchaser or any other person or entity if it does not

required under this Section 7 and (iii) no Forward Purchaser will incur any liability or obligation to the Company, the related

Forward Seller or any other person or entity if it or its affiliate does not borrow Forward Hedge Shares for any reason other than a failure

by such Forward Purchaser to use its commercially reasonable efforts to borrow or cause its affiliate to borrow such Forward Hedge Shares

a Forward Seller or a Forward Purchaser, as the case may be, for purposes of (i) and (ii) above, such period shall be deemed

to end at the relevant Filing Time.

(i)           Filing

the Forward Purchasers in accordance with Section 5, the Company will make every commercially reasonable effort to prevent the issuance

of any stop order, the suspension of any qualification of the Placement Shares for offering or sale and any loss or suspension of any

exemption from any such qualification and, if any such stop order is issued or any such suspension or loss occurs, to obtain the lifting

thereof at the earliest possible moment.

of Registration Statement and Prospectus. The Company will furnish to the Agents, the Forward Sellers and the Forward Purchasers and

their counsel (at the expense of the Company) by email or other electronic transmission copies of the Registration Statement and the Prospectus

(including all documents incorporated by reference therein, except for those documents available via EDGAR) and all amendments and supplements

to the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, and any Issuer Free Writing Prospectuses, that are filed with the Commission during

any period in which a Prospectus relating to the Placement Shares is required to be delivered under the Securities Act (including all

documents filed with the Commission during such period that are deemed to be incorporated by reference therein, except for those documents

available via EDGAR), in each case as soon as reasonably practicable. The copies of the Registration Statement and the Prospectus and

any amendments or supplements thereto furnished to the Agents, the Forward Sellers and the Forward Purchasers will be identical to the

electronically transmitted copies thereof filed with the Commission pursuant to EDGAR, except to the extent permitted by Regulation S-T.

(d)           Continued

Compliance with Securities Laws. If at any time when a Prospectus is required by the Securities Act or the Exchange Act to be delivered

in connection with a pending sale of the Placement Shares (including, without limitation, pursuant to Rule 172 or similar rule under

the Securities Act), any event shall occur or condition shall exist as a result of which it is necessary, in the opinion of counsel for

the Agents, the Forward Sellers and the Forward Purchasers or for the Company, to amend the Registration Statement or amend or supplement

the Prospectus in order that the Prospectus will not include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact

necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances existing at the time it is delivered

to a purchaser, or if it shall be necessary, in the opinion of such counsel, at any such time to amend the Registration Statement or amend

or supplement the Prospectus in order to comply with the requirements of the Securities Act, the Company will promptly notify the Agents,

the Forward Sellers and the Forward Purchasers to suspend the offering of Placement Shares during such period and the Company will promptly

prepare and file with the Commission such amendment or supplement as may be necessary to correct such statement or omission or to make

the Registration Statement or the Prospectus comply with such requirements, and the Company will furnish to the Agents, the Forward Sellers

and the Forward Purchasers by email or other electronic transmission copies of such amendment or supplement as the Agents, the Forward

Sellers and the Forward Purchasers may reasonably request. If at any time following issuance of an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus there

occurred or occurs an event or development as a result of which such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus conflicted, conflicts or would conflict

with the information contained in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus or, when read together with the information in the Registration

Statement and the Prospectus (as each may be amended or supplemented), included, includes or would include an untrue statement of a material

fact or omitted, omits 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 Agents, the Forward Sellers and the Forward Purchasers

to suspend the offering of Placement Shares during such period and the Company will, subject to Section 8(a), promptly amend or supplement

such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus to eliminate or correct such conflict, untrue statement or omission.

(e)           Blue

Sky and Other Qualifications. The Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts, in cooperation with the Agents, the Forward

Sellers and the Forward Purchasers, to qualify the Placement Shares for offering and sale, or to obtain an exemption for the Shares to

be offered and sold, under the applicable securities laws of such states and other jurisdictions within the United States as the Agents,

the Forward Sellers and the Forward Purchasers may designate and to maintain such qualifications and exemptions in effect for so long

as required for the distribution of the Placement Shares; 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 or to comply with other requirements deemed by the Company to be unduly burdensome. In each jurisdiction in which the Placement

Shares have been so qualified or exempt, the Company will file such statements and reports as may be required by the laws of such jurisdiction

to continue such qualification or exemption, as the case may be, in effect for so long as required for the distribution of the Placement

Shares.

(f)           Rule 158.

The Company will timely file such reports pursuant to the Exchange Act as are necessary in order to make generally available to its securityholders

as soon as practicable an earnings statement for the purposes of, and to provide to the Agents, the Forward Sellers and the Forward Purchasers

the benefits contemplated by, the last paragraph of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act.

of Proceeds. The Company will use the Net Proceeds from the sale of the Placement Shares and the proceeds received under any Confirmation

in the manner specified in the Prospectus under “Use of Proceeds”.

(h)           Listing.

During any period in which the Prospectus relating to the Placement Shares is required to be delivered under the Securities Act with respect

to a pending sale of the Placement Shares (including in circumstances where such requirement may be satisfied pursuant to Rule 172

or similar rule under the Securities Act), the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Placement Shares

to be listed on the NYSE.

(i)            Filings

with the NYSE. The Company will timely file with the NYSE all material documents and notices required by the NYSE of companies that

have or will issue securities that are traded on the NYSE.

(j)            Reporting

Requirements. The Company, during any period when the Prospectus is required to be delivered under the Securities Act and the Exchange

Act (including in circumstances where such requirement may be satisfied pursuant to Rule 172 or similar rule under the Securities

Act), will file all documents required to be filed with the Commission pursuant to the Exchange Act within the time periods required by

the Exchange Act.

(k)           Sales

of Common Stock. During any time that a Placement Notice (as amended by the corresponding Acceptance, if applicable) is in effect,

the Company will not (A) 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 for the sale of, lend or otherwise transfer or dispose of,

directly or indirectly, any Common Stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for or repayable with Common Stock,

or file any registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to any of the foregoing (other than a shelf registration statement

under Rule 415 under the Securities Act, a registration statement on Form S-8 or a post-effective amendment to the Registration

Statement) or (B) enter into any, or announce the intention to enter into any, swap or other agreement or transaction that transfers

in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, any of the economic consequence of ownership of the Common Stock, or any securities convertible

into or exchangeable or exercisable for or repayable with Common Stock, whether any such swap or transaction described in clause (A) or

clause (B) above is to be settled by delivery of Common Stock or such other securities, in cash or otherwise. The foregoing sentence

shall not apply to (w) Common Stock to be offered and sold through the Agents and the Forward Sellers pursuant to this Agreement

and Common Stock to be delivered pursuant to any outstanding forward sale agreement with the Company, (x) Common Stock issuable pursuant

to the Company’s stock purchase plan as it may be amended or replaced from time to time, (y) equity incentive awards approved

by the board of directors of the Company or the compensation and human resources committee thereof or the issuance of Common Stock upon

exercise thereof and (z) Common Stock issuable upon the conversion, exchange or exercise of outstanding securities, warrants, rights,

options or other similar instruments.

(l)           Change

of Circumstances. The Company will, at any time during a fiscal quarter in which the Company intends to tender a Placement Notice

or sell Placement Shares, advise the Agents, the Forward Sellers and the Forward Purchasers, promptly after it shall have received notice

or obtained knowledge thereof or developed its intention to tender a Placement Notice or sell Placement Shares, of any information or

fact that would alter or affect in any material respect any opinion, certificate, letter or other document provided to the Agents, the

Forward Sellers or the Forward Purchasers, as applicable, pursuant to this Agreement.

(m)         Due

Diligence Cooperation. The Company will cooperate with any reasonable due diligence review conducted by the Agents or the Forward

Sellers and the Forward Purchasers, as applicable, or their respective agents at or before a Representation Date on which the Company

is required to provide a certificate pursuant to Section 8(o), including, without limitation, providing information and making available

documents and senior officers, during regular business hours and at the Company’s principal offices, as the Agents, the Forward

Sellers and the Forward Purchasers may reasonably request.

(n)          Disclosure

of Sales. The Company will disclose in its quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, in its annual report on Form 10-K and/or on a

current report on Form 8-K (i) the number of Placement Shares sold pursuant to this Agreement, (ii) the Net Proceeds to

the Company with respect to such Placement Shares and (iii) the compensation paid by the Company with respect to sales of such Placement

Shares pursuant to this Agreement during the relevant quarter.

(o)          Representation

Dates; Certificate. On or prior to the date that the first Shares are sold pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and:

(1)           each

time the Company:

(i)           files

the Prospectus relating to the Shares or amends or supplements the Registration Statement or the Prospectus relating to the Shares by

means of a post-effective amendment, sticker or supplement but not by means of incorporation of documents by reference into the Registration

Statement or the Prospectus relating to the Shares;

(ii)           files

an annual report on Form 10-K under the Exchange Act;

(iii)           files

a quarterly report on Form 10-Q under the Exchange Act; or

(iv)           files

a report on Form 8-K containing amended financial information (other than to “furnish” information pursuant to Item 2.02

or 7.01 of Form 8-K (including in an earnings release)) under the Exchange Act; and

(2)           at

any other time reasonably requested by the Agents, the Forward Sellers or the Forward Purchasers (each such date of filing of one or more

of the documents referred to in Section 8(o)(1) and any time of request pursuant to this Section 8(o)(2) shall be

a “Representation Date”),

the Company shall furnish

the Agents, the Forward Sellers and the Forward Purchasers with a certificate, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit G, within

two Trading Days following any Representation Date (except in the case of a waiver under the following sentence (a “Waiver”),

in which case such certificate shall be furnished with or preceding the relevant Placement Notice). The requirement to provide a certificate

under this Section 8(o) shall be waived for any Representation Date, other than for any Representation Date on which the Company

files its annual report on Form 10-K, occurring at a time at which no Placement Notice (as amended by the corresponding Acceptance,

if applicable) is pending, which Waiver shall continue until the date the Company delivers a Placement Notice hereunder (which for such

calendar quarter shall be considered a Representation Date). The Company shall provide the Agents, the Forward Sellers and the Forward

Purchasers notice of its intent to utilize the Waiver for a Representation Date via electronic mail to the individuals listed on Exhibit B

attached hereto at least 5 business days before the applicable Representation Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company subsequently

decides to sell Placement Shares following a Representation Date when the Company relied on such Waiver and did not provide the Agents,

the Forward Sellers and the Forward Purchasers with a certificate under this Section 8(o), then, before the Company delivers the

Placement Notice or any Agent or Forward Seller sells any Placement Shares, the Company shall provide the Agents, the Forward Sellers

and the Forward Purchasers with a certificate, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit G, dated the date of the Placement Notice.

(p)           Opinions

Letter with any information that would have been included in the Initial Comfort Letter had it been given on such date and modified as

necessary to relate to the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, as amended and supplemented to the date of such letter.

Activities. The Company will not, directly or indirectly, (i) take any action designed to cause or result in, or that constitutes

pay anyone other than the Agents and the Forward Sellers any compensation for soliciting purchases of the Shares to be issued and sold

pursuant to this Agreement; provided, however, that the Company may bid for and purchase its Common Stock in accordance

with Rule 10b-18 under the Exchange Act; provided, further, that no such bids or purchases shall be made by the Company

during the three Trading Days before or after any sale of any Shares pursuant to this Agreement.

that are not considered to be an investment company.

(u)           Securities

Act and Exchange Act. The Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to comply with all requirements imposed upon it by

the Securities Act and the Exchange Act as from time to time in force, so far as necessary to permit the continuance of sales of, or dealings

in, the Placement Shares as contemplated by the provisions hereof and the Prospectus.

(v)           No

Offer to Sell. Other than a free writing prospectus (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act) approved in advance in

writing by the Company and the relevant Agents in their capacity as principals or agents hereunder or the relevant Forward Sellers in

their capacity as agents hereunder, none of the Company (including its agents and representatives, other than the Agents in their capacity

as such), the Agents or the Forward Sellers will, directly or indirectly, make, use, prepare, authorize, approve or refer to any free

writing prospectus relating to the Shares to be sold by or through the Agents or the Forward Sellers as principals or agents hereunder.

(w)           Regulation

M. If the Company has reason to believe that the exemptive provisions set forth in Rule 101(c)(1) of Regulation M under

the Exchange Act are not satisfied with respect to the Company or the Common Stock, it shall promptly notify the Agents, the Forward Sellers

and the Forward Purchasers, and sales of the Placement Shares under this Agreement shall be suspended until that or other exemptive provisions

have been satisfied in the judgment of each party hereto.

(x)           Renewal

of Registration Statement. The date of this Agreement is not more than three years subsequent to the initial effective date of the

the Renewal Date, file, if it has not already done so, a new shelf registration statement or, if applicable, an automatic shelf registration

statement relating to such Shares, and, if such registration statement is not an automatic shelf registration statement, will use its

commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to be declared effective within 180 days after the Renewal Date,

and the Company will take all other reasonable actions necessary or appropriate to permit the public offer and sale of such Shares to

continue as contemplated in the expired registration statement relating to such Shares. References herein to the “Registration Statement”

of its subsidiaries by any “nationally recognized statistical rating organization”, as such term is defined in Section 3(a)(62)

of the Exchange Act.

SECTION 11.   Indemnification;

Contribution.

(a)           The

Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Agent, each Forward Seller, each Forward Purchaser, each person, if any, who controls

any Agent, Forward Seller or Forward Purchaser within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of

the Exchange Act and each affiliate of any Agent, Forward Seller or Forward Purchaser within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities

Act from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including, without limitation, any legal or other expenses reasonably

incurred in connection with defending or investigating any such action or claim) that arise out of, or are based upon, any untrue statement

or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement or any amendment thereof, any issuer free writing

prospectus as defined in Rule 433(h) under the Securities Act, any Company information that the Company has filed, or is required

to file, pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Securities Act, any road show as defined in Rule 433(h) under the Securities

Act (a “road show”), the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, or arise out of, or are based upon, any

omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein

not misleading, except insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities arise out of, or are based upon, any such untrue statement

or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with any information relating to any Agent,

Forward Seller or Forward Purchaser furnished to the Company in writing by such Agent, Forward Seller or Forward Purchaser expressly for

use therein, it being understood and agreed that the only such information furnished by the Agents, the Forward Sellers and the Forward

Purchasers consists of the information described as such in the second sentence of the third paragraph of Section 6(a)(1).

(b)           Each

Agent, Forward Seller and Forward Purchaser agrees, severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors,

its officers who sign the Registration Statement and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of either Section 15

of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Company to such Agent,

Forward Seller or Forward Purchaser, as applicable, but only with reference to information relating to such Agent, Forward Seller or Forward

Purchaser furnished to the Company in writing by such Agent, Forward Seller or Forward Purchaser expressly for use in the Registration

Statement, any issuer free writing prospectus, road show or the Prospectus, which information shall be limited to the matters set forth

in the second sentence of the third paragraph of Section 6(a)(1).

case any proceeding (including any governmental investigation) shall be instituted involving any person in respect of which indemnity

may be sought pursuant to Section 11(a) or 11(b), such person (the “indemnified party”) shall promptly notify

the person against whom such indemnity may be sought (the “indemnifying party”) in writing and the indemnifying party,

upon request of the indemnified party, shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified

party and any others the indemnifying party may designate in such proceeding and shall pay the fees and disbursements of such counsel

related to such proceeding. In any such proceeding, any indemnified party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, but the fees

and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party unless (i) the indemnifying party and the indemnified

party shall have mutually agreed to the retention of such counsel or (ii) the named parties to any such proceeding (including any

impleaded parties) include both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party and representation of both parties by the same counsel

would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them. It is understood that the indemnifying party shall

not, in respect of the legal expenses of any indemnified party in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction,

be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to any local counsel) for all such indemnified parties

and that all such fees and expenses shall be reimbursed to the indemnified party by the indemnifying party. Such firm shall be designated

in writing by the Agents, the Forward Sellers or the Forward Purchasers, in the case of parties indemnified pursuant to Section 11(a),

and by the Company, in the case of parties indemnified pursuant to Section 11(b). The indemnifying party 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 from and against any loss or liability by reason of

such settlement or judgment. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, if at any time an indemnified party shall have requested an indemnifying

party to reimburse the indemnified party for fees and expenses of counsel as contemplated by the second and third sentences of this paragraph,

the indemnifying party agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of any proceeding effected without its written consent if (i) such

settlement is entered into more than 30 days after receipt by such indemnifying party of the aforesaid request and (ii) such indemnifying

party shall not have reimbursed the indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement. No indemnifying

party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding

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 includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on claims that are the subject

matter of such proceeding.

(d)           Contribution.

To the extent the indemnification provided for in Section 11(a) or 11(b) is unavailable to an indemnified party or insufficient

in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein, then each indemnifying party under such paragraph, in lieu

of indemnifying such indemnified party thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result

of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received

by the Company on the one hand and the Agents, Forward Sellers and Forward Purchasers on the other hand from the offering of the Shares

or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause 11(a)(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 11(a)(i) above but also the relative fault of the Company on the

one hand and of the Agents, the Forward Sellers and the Forward Purchasers on the other hand 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 Agents, Forward Sellers and Forward Purchasers on the other hand in connection with the

offering of the Shares shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as (i) with respect to the Company, the net proceeds

(assuming full physical settlement of any Confirmation) from the offering of the Shares for each Issuance under this Agreement (before

deducting expenses) received by the Company bear to the aggregate Sales Price of the Issuance Shares or (y) the Actual Sold Forward

Amount for each Forward under this Agreement, multiplied by the Initial Forward Price for such Forward (the “Net Forward Proceeds”),

bear to the sum of the Net Forward Proceeds, the Net Spread Value (as defined below) and the Actual Forward Commission (as defined below)

(such sum, the “Gross Forward Amount”), (ii) with respect to the Agents, the total discounts or commissions received

by the Agents bear to the aggregate Sales Price of the Issuance Shares, and (iii) with respect to the Forward Sellers, the Actual

Sold Forward Amount for each Forward under this Agreement, multiplied by the Forward Hedge Selling Commission for such Forward (the “Actual

Forward Commission”), bear to the Gross Forward Amount, and (iv) with respect to the Forward Purchasers, the accumulated

value of the net Spread (as defined in the related Confirmation for each Forward and net of any related stock borrow costs or other costs

or expenses actually incurred) (the “Net Spread Value”) for each Confirmation executed in connection with this Agreement

bear to the Gross Forward Amount. 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 on the one hand or by the Agents, the Forward Sellers or Forward Purchasers on the other hand and the parties’ relative

intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The Agents’, Forward

Sellers’ and Forward Purchasers’ respective obligations to contribute pursuant to Section 11 are several, and not joint.

(e)           The

Company and the Agents, the Forward Sellers and the Forward Purchasers agree that it would not be just or equitable if contribution pursuant

to Section 11 were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Agents were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other

method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in clause 11(d). The amount paid or payable

by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages and liabilities referred to in Section 11(a) shall be deemed

to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection

with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 11, (i) no Agent shall be

required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the commissions or fees with respect to the offering of Shares received

by it under this Agreement exceeds the amount of any damages that such Agent has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue

or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission, (ii) no Forward Seller shall be required to contribute any amount in

excess of the aggregate Forward Hedge Selling Commissions received by it under this Agreement and (iii) no Forward Purchaser shall

be required to contribute any amount in excess in excess of the aggregate Spread (as defined in the relevant Confirmation) under the relevant

Confirmation, net of any costs associated therewith, as reasonably determined by such Forward Purchaser. 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 remedies provided for in Section 11 are not exclusive and shall not

limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to any indemnified party at law or in equity.

The agreement with respect

to indemnification and contribution contained in this Section 11 shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation

made by or on behalf of the Company or any Agent, Forward Seller or Forward Purchaser, and shall survive delivery of and payment for the

Shares hereunder and any termination of this Agreement.

SECTION 12.            Representations,

Warranties and Agreements to Survive Delivery.

All representations, warranties

and agreements contained in this Agreement or in certificates of officers of the Company or any of its subsidiaries submitted pursuant

hereto shall remain operative and in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any of the Agents,

the Forward Sellers, the Forward Purchasers or their respective affiliates, directors, officers or controlling persons, or by or on behalf

of the Company, and shall survive delivery of the Shares to the Agents, the Forward Sellers and the Forward Purchasers.

SECTION 13.   Termination

of Agreement.

(a)           Termination;

General. Any Agent, Forward Seller or Forward Purchaser may terminate this Agreement, by notice to the Company and the other parties

hereto, as hereinafter specified at any time (i) if there has been, since the time of execution of this Agreement or since the date

as of which information is given in the Prospectus, any material adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise), prospects,

earnings, business or properties of the Company and its subsidiaries taken as a whole, (ii) if there has occurred any material adverse

change in the financial markets in the United States or the international financial markets, any outbreak of hostilities or escalation

thereof or other calamity or crisis or any change or development involving a prospective change in national or international political,

financial or economic conditions, in each case the effect of which is such as to make it, in the judgment of such Agent, Forward Seller

or Forward Purchaser, impracticable or inadvisable to market the Shares or to enforce contracts for the sale of the Shares, (iii) if

trading in the Placement Shares has been suspended or limited by the Commission or the NYSE, (iv) if trading generally on the NYSE

has been suspended or limited, minimum or maximum prices for trading have been fixed or maximum ranges for prices have been required by

the NYSE or by order of the Commission, FINRA or any other governmental authority, or a material disruption has occurred in commercial

banking or securities settlement or clearance services in the United States, or (v) if a banking moratorium has been declared by

either federal or New York authorities.

(b)           Termination

by the Company. The Company shall have the right, by giving three days’ notice as hereinafter specified (unless such notice

is waived by the Agents, the Forward Sellers and the Forward Purchasers), to terminate this Agreement with respect to one or more or all

Agents, Forward Sellers or Forward Purchasers in its sole discretion at any time after the date of this Agreement and, if not terminated

in its entirety, this Agreement shall otherwise continue in full force and effect with respect to any Agents, Forward Sellers and Forward

Purchasers not so terminated. The Company also may terminate this Agreement, by giving one day notice as hereinafter specified, if any

relevant Agent, Forward Seller or Forward Purchaser, as applicable, declines to accept proposed terms (or propose amended terms acceptable

to the Company) included in any Placement Notice originated by the Company pursuant to Section 3.

by Agent, Forward Seller or Forward Purchaser. Any Agent, Forward Seller or Forward Purchaser shall have the right, by giving

three days’ notice as hereinafter specified (unless such notice is waived by the Company), to terminate this Agreement in its sole

discretion at any time after the date of this Agreement, solely with respect to such Agent, Forward Seller or Forward Purchaser.

(d)           Automatic

Termination. Unless earlier terminated pursuant to this Section 13, this Agreement shall automatically terminate upon the issuance

and sale of Placement Shares pursuant to this Agreement on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein with an aggregate

Sales Price equal to the Maximum Amount.

(e)           Continued

Force and Effect. This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect unless terminated pursuant to Section 10(l), Section 13(a),

Section 13(b) (as to all Agents, Forward Sellers and Forward Purchasers), Section 13(c) (as to all Agents, Forward

Sellers and Forward Purchasers) or Section 13(d) or otherwise by mutual agreement of the parties hereto.

(f)           Effectiveness

of Termination. Any termination of this Agreement (in its entirety or otherwise) shall be effective on the date specified in such

notice of termination; provided, however, that such termination shall not be effective until the close of business on the

date of receipt of such notice by the Agents, the Forward Sellers and the Forward Purchasers or the Company, as the case may be. If such

termination shall occur prior to the Settlement Date for any sale of Placement Shares, such Placement Shares shall settle in accordance

with the provisions of this Agreement.

(g)           Liabilities.

If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to this Section 13, such termination shall be without liability of any party hereto to any

other party hereto except as provided in Section 9 and except that, in the case of any termination of this Agreement, Section 6,

Section 11, Section 12, Section 14, Section 15, Section 17, Section 18, Section 19, Section 21

and Section 23 shall survive such termination and remain in full force and effect.

(h)           Amendments

and Waivers. Any provision or requirement of this Agreement may be waived or amended in any respect by a writing signed by the parties

hereto. No waiver or amendment shall be enforceable against any party hereto unless in writing and signed by the party hereto against

which such waiver is claimed. A waiver of any provision or requirement of this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of any other term

and shall not affect the other provisions of this Agreement. A waiver of a provision or requirement of this Agreement will apply only

to the specific circumstances cited therein and will not prevent a party hereto from subsequently requiring compliance with the waived

provision or requirement in other circumstances.

SECTION 14.   Notices.

(including by reference to Exhibit B attached hereto), all notices and other communications hereunder shall be in writing

In accordance with the requirements of the USA

Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)), the Agents, the Forward Sellers and the Forward Purchasers

are required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies their respective clients, including the Company, which information

may include the name and address of such clients, as well as other information that will allow the Agents, the Forward Sellers and the

Forward Purchasers to properly identify their respective clients.

SECTION 15.   Parties.

This Agreement shall inure

to the benefit of and be binding upon each Agent, each Forward Seller, each Forward Purchaser, the Company and their respective successors.

Nothing expressed or mentioned in this Agreement is intended or shall be construed to give any person or entity, other than the Agents,

the Forward Sellers, the Forward Purchasers, the Company and their respective successors and the affiliates and controlling persons and

officers and directors referred to in Section 11 and their heirs and legal representatives, any legal or equitable right, remedy

or claim under or in respect of this Agreement or any provision herein contained. This Agreement and all conditions and provisions hereof

are intended to be for the sole and exclusive benefit of each Agent, each Forward Seller, each Forward Purchaser, the Company and their

respective successors, and said affiliates and controlling persons and officers and directors and their heirs and legal representatives,

and for the benefit of no other person or entity. No purchaser of Shares from or through any Agent or Forward Seller shall be deemed to

be a successor by reason merely of such purchase.

SECTION 16.   Adjustments

for Stock Splits.

The parties hereto acknowledge

and agree that all stock-related numbers contained in this Agreement shall be adjusted to take into account any stock split, stock dividend

or similar event effected with respect to the Shares.

SECTION 17.   Governing

Law.

This Agreement shall be

governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.

SECTION 18.   Effect

of Headings.

The Section and Exhibit headings

herein are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction hereof.

SECTION 19.   Construction.

All references in this Agreement

to financial statements and schedules and other information that is “contained”, “included” or “stated”

in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus (and all other references of like import) shall be deemed to mean and include all such

financial statements and schedules and other information that are incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus,

as the case may be. All references in this Agreement to the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement to any

of the foregoing shall be deemed to include the copy filed with the Commission pursuant to EDGAR. All references in this Agreement to

any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus (other than any Issuer Free Writing Prospectuses that, pursuant to Rule 433 under the Securities

Act, are not required to be filed with the Commission) shall be deemed to include the copy thereof filed with the Commission pursuant

to EDGAR. All references in this Agreement to “supplements” to the Prospectus shall include, without limitation, any supplements,

“wrappers” or similar materials prepared in connection with any offering, sale or private placement of any Placement Shares

by or through the Agents or Forward Sellers outside of the United States.

SECTION 20.   Permitted

Free Writing Prospectuses.

The Company represents, warrants

and agrees that, unless it obtains the prior consent of the Agents, the Forward Sellers and the Forward Purchasers, and each Agent, Forward

Seller and Forward Purchaser represents, warrants and agrees that, unless it obtains the prior 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, or that would otherwise constitute

a “free writing prospectus”, as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act, required to be filed with the Commission.

Any such free writing prospectus consented to by the Agents, the Forward Sellers and the Forward Purchasers or by the Company, as the

case may be, is herein referred to as a “Permitted Free Writing Prospectus”. The Company represents and warrants that

it has treated and agrees that it will treat each Permitted Free Writing Prospectus as an “issuer free writing prospectus”,

as defined in Rule 433 under the Securities Act, and has complied and will comply with the requirements of Rule 433 under the

Securities Act applicable to any Permitted Free Writing Prospectus, including timely filing with the Commission where required, legending

and record keeping. For the purposes of clarity, the parties hereto agree that all free writing prospectuses, if any, listed in Exhibit H

attached hereto are Permitted Free Writing Prospectuses.

SECTION 21.   Absence

of Fiduciary Relationship.

The Company acknowledges and

agrees that:

(a)           each

of the Agents, the Forward Sellers and the Forward Purchasers is acting solely as agent and/or principal in connection with the public

offering of the Shares and in connection with each transaction contemplated by this Agreement and the process leading to such transactions,

and no fiduciary or advisory relationship between the Company or any of its affiliates, stockholders (or other equity holders), creditors

or employees or any other party, on the one hand, and each Agent, Forward Seller and Forward Purchaser, on the other hand, has been or

will be created in respect of any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, irrespective of whether or not any Agent, Forward

Seller or Forward Purchaser has advised or is advising the Company on other matters, and the Agents, the Forward Sellers and the Forward

Purchasers do not have any obligation to the Company with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement except the obligations

expressly set forth in this Agreement;

(b)           the

public sales price of the Shares set forth in this Agreement was not established by any of the Agents, the Forward Sellers or the Forward

Purchasers;

Company is capable of evaluating and understanding, and understands and accepts, the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated

by this Agreement;

(d)           none

of the Agents, the Forward Sellers or the Forward Purchasers has provided any legal, accounting, regulatory or tax advice with respect

to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Company has consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors

to the extent the Company has deemed appropriate;

(e)           the

Company is aware that the Agents, the Forward Sellers and the Forward Purchasers and their respective affiliates are engaged in a broad

range of transactions that may involve interests that differ from those of the Company, and none of the Agents, the Forward Sellers or

the Forward Purchasers has any obligation to disclose such interests and transactions to the Company by virtue of any fiduciary, advisory

or agency relationship or otherwise; and

(f)           the

Company waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any claims it may have against any Agent, Forward Seller or Forward Purchaser

for breach of fiduciary duty or alleged breach of fiduciary duty and agrees that none of the Agents, the Forward Sellers or the Forward

Purchasers shall have any liability (whether direct or indirect, in contract, tort or otherwise) to the Company in respect of such a fiduciary

duty claim or to any person or entity asserting a fiduciary duty claim on its behalf or in right of it or the Company or employees or

creditors of the Company.

SECTION 22.   Recognition

of the U.S. Special Resolution Regimes.

In the event that any Agent,

Forward Seller or Forward Purchaser that is a Covered Entity (as defined below) becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution

Regime (as defined below), the transfer from such Agent, Forward Seller or Forward Purchaser 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. In the event that any Agent, Forward Seller or Forward Purchaser that is a Covered Entity or a BHC Act Affiliate (as defined below)

of such Agent, Forward Seller or Forward Purchaser becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights

(as defined below) under this Agreement that may be exercised against such Agent, Forward Seller or Forward Purchaser 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. “BHC Act Affiliate” has the meaning

assigned to the term “affiliate” in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. § 1841(k). “Covered

Entity” means any of the following: (i) a “covered entity” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance

with, 12 C.F.R. § 252.82(b); (ii) a “covered bank” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with,

12 C.F.R. § 47.3(b); or (iii) a “covered FSI” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12

C.F.R. § 382.2(b). “Default Right” has the meaning assigned to that term in, and shall be interpreted in accordance

with, 12 C.F.R. §§ 252.81, 47.2 or 382.1, as applicable. “U.S. Special Resolution Regime” means each of (x) the

Federal Deposit Insurance Act and the regulations promulgated thereunder and (y) Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and

Consumer Protection Act and the regulations promulgated thereunder.

SECTION 23.   Execution

by the Parties.

This Agreement may be executed

in counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which when taken together shall constitute

one and the same instrument. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import

in this Agreement or in any other certificate, agreement or document related to this Agreement or the Confirmations, if any, shall include

images of manually executed signatures transmitted by facsimile or other electronic format (including, without limitation, “pdf”,

“tif” or “jpg”) and other electronic signatures (including, without limitation, DocuSign and AdobeSign). The use

of electronic signatures and electronic records (including, without limitation, any contract or other record created, generated, sent,

communicated, received, or stored by electronic means) shall be of the same legal effect, validity and enforceability as a manually executed

signature or use of a paper-based record-keeping system to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, including the Federal Electronic

Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act and any other applicable law,

including, without limitation, any state law based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act or the Uniform Commercial Code.

If the foregoing is in accordance

with your understanding of our agreement, please sign and return to the Company a counterpart hereof, whereupon this instrument, along

with all counterparts, will become a binding agreement among the Agents, the Forward Sellers, the Forward Purchasers and the Company

in accordance with its terms.

Very truly yours,

OGE Energy Corp.

Subsidiary has corporate power and authority to do business and to own property in the State of Oklahoma in the manner and as set forth

(iii)           The

issue and sale of the Shares by the Company in accordance with the terms of the Agreement and any Confirmation have been duly and validly

authorized and reserved for issuance by all necessary corporate action; the Shares, when registered and delivered to and paid for pursuant

to the Agreement and at the settlement of any Confirmation in accordance with the terms thereof, will constitute Common Stock which has

been duly authorized and validly issued, is fully paid and non-assessable; and the Common Stock conforms as to legal matters with the

statements concerning it made in the Prospectus, and such statements accurately set forth the matters respecting the Common Stock required

to be set forth in the Prospectus.

(iv)          The

statements made in the Prospectus under the caption “Description of Capital Stock,” insofar as they purport to constitute

summaries of certain terms of the capital stock (including the Shares), constitute accurate summaries of such terms in all material respects.

(v)            The

Agreement has been, and each Confirmation (if any), will be, duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company.

(vi)           The

Shares conform in all material respects to the statements concerning them in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus.

(vii)          The

execution and delivery of the Agreement and each Confirmation (if any) by the Company and the issuance of the Shares and performance

FORM OF

OPINION OF HUSCH BLACKWELL

(i)            Assuming

that the Agreement has been duly authorized and executed under Oklahoma law, the Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the

Company in accordance with the law of the State of New York.

(ii)           The

(i) execution, delivery and performance of the Agreement and any Confirmations by the Company, (ii) sale of the Shares (including

upon physical settlement or net share settlement, as applicable, of any Confirmations) by the Company and (iii) compliance with

the terms and provisions of the Distribution Agreement and any Confirmations by the Company will not violate any law or regulation known

to us to be generally applicable to transactions of this type (other than federal or state securities or “blue sky” laws,

as to which we express no opinion in this paragraph), or any order or decree of any court, arbitrator or governmental agency that is

binding upon the Company or any Significant Subsidiary or any of their properties or violate or result in a default under any of the

terms and provisions of any agreement to which the Company or any Significant Subsidiary is a party or bound (this opinion being limited

(A) to those orders, decrees and agreements identified on Exhibit A attached hereto and (B) in that we express

no opinion with respect to any violation or default (1) not readily ascertainable from the face of any such order, decree or agreement,

(2) arising under or based upon any cross-default provision insofar as it relates to a violation of or default under an agreement

not so identified on Exhibit A attached hereto or (3) arising as a result of any violation of or default under any agreement

or covenant by failure to comply with any financial or numerical requirement requiring computation).

(iii)          No

consent, approval, authorization or order of, or filing with, any United States federal or New York state governmental agency or body

or any court is required in connection with the sale of the Shares by the Company (including upon physical settlement or net share settlement,

as applicable, of any Confirmations), except (i) such as have been obtained or made under (A) the Securities Act and the rules and

regulations thereunder and (B) the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder and (ii) as may be required under

state securities or “blue sky” laws.

(iv)          To

our knowledge, there are no legal or governmental proceedings, pending or threatened, to which the Company is a party that are required

to be described in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus pursuant to Item 103 of Regulation S-K promulgated under the Securities

Act that are not disclosed as required.

(v)           The

statements made in the Prospectus under the caption “Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations for Non-U.S. Holders,”

insofar as such statements purport to summarize provisions of U.S. federal income tax law referred to therein or legal conclusions with

respect thereto, present fair summaries of such matters in all material respects.

(vi)          The

statements set forth in the Prospectus under the caption “Plan of Distribution (Conflicts of Interest),” insofar as such

statements purport to summarize certain provisions of the Agreement, fairly summarize such provisions in all material respects.

E-1

(vii)         From

time to time, we have had discussions with certain officers, directors and employees of the Company, with representatives of Ernst &

Young LLP, the independent registered public accounting firm who examined the financial statements of the Company incorporated by reference

in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus, with the Sales Agents, the Forward Purchasers and the Forward Sellers and with counsel

to the Sales Agents, the Forward Purchasers and the Forward Sellers concerning the information contained in or incorporated by reference

in the Registration Statement and the Prospectus and the responses to various items in Form S-3. Based on our participation and

discussions described above, we are of the view that the Registration Statement (including all information deemed to be part of and included

therein pursuant to Rule 430B under the Securities Act), as of the date hereof, and the Prospectus, as of its date, complied as

to form in all material respects with the requirements of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder,

and that each of the Incorporated Documents that was filed with the Commission prior to the date of this letter at the time of filing

complied as to form in all material respects with the requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission

thereunder, except that we express no view with respect to the financial statements and reports relating thereto, financial schedules

and other financial and statistical data included or incorporated by reference therein or excluded therefrom.

(viii)        No

fact has come to our attention that has caused us to believe that (i) the Registration Statement, including all information deemed

to be part of and included therein pursuant to Rule 430B under the Securities Act (except for financial statements (including notes)

and supporting schedules and other financial information included or incorporated by reference therein or omitted therefrom and for statistical

information derived from such financial statements (including notes), supporting schedules and other financial information, as to which

we make no statement), at the time such Registration Statement became effective or at its most recent effective date, and within the

meaning of, Rule 430B(f)(2) under the Securities Act, contained an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state

a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or (ii) the Prospectus,

(except for financial statements (including notes) and supporting schedules and other financial information included or incorporated

by reference therein or omitted therefrom and for statistical information derived from such financial statements (including notes), supporting

schedules and other financial information, as to which we make no statement), as of its date and as of each Applicable Time, included

or includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or omits to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements

therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

(ix)           The

Registration Statement has become effective pursuant to Rule 462(e) under the Securities Act. In addition, based solely upon

our review of the website of the Commission, we confirm that no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement

has been issued under the Securities Act and no proceedings have been initiated by the Commission.

(x)            The

Company is not, and after giving effect to the issue and sale of the Shares by the Company and entry into any Confirmations, and assuming

the application of the proceeds therefrom as described in the Prospectus, the Company would not as of the date hereof be, an “investment

company” within the meaning of and subject to regulation under Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

EXHIBIT F

FORM OF

OPINION OF JONES DAY

(i) The statements set forth in the Prospectus

under the caption “Plan of Distribution (Conflicts of Interest)—Sales Through

Forward Sellers,” insofar as such statements purport to summarize certain provisions

of the Confirmation, fairly summarize such provisions in all material respects except in

respect to the number of Shares and the Initial Forward Price in respect to the Transaction.

1. The definitions and provisions contained in the 2000 ISDA Definitions (the “2000 Definitions”)

and the 2002 ISDA Equity Derivatives Definitions (the “2002 Definitions” and, together with the 2000 Definitions, the

“Definitions”), each as published by the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc., are incorporated

into this Confirmation. In the event of any inconsistency between the 2002 Definitions and the 2000 Definitions, the 2002 Definitions

will govern. In the event of any inconsistency between the Definitions and this Confirmation, this Confirmation will govern.

Each party further agrees that this

Confirmation together with the Agreement evidence a complete and binding agreement between Party A and Party B as to the subject matter

and terms of the Transaction to which this Confirmation relates, and shall supersede all prior or contemporaneous written or oral communications

with respect thereto. This Confirmation shall supplement, form a part of, and be subject to an agreement in the form of the 2002 ISDA

Master Agreement (the “Agreement”) as if Party A and Party B had executed an agreement in such form on the Trade Date

(but without any Schedule except for the election of the laws of the State of New York as the governing law), provided that the

word “first” shall be replaced with the word “third” each time it occurs in Section 5(a)(i) of the Agreement.

In the event of any inconsistency between provisions of that Agreement and this Confirmation, this Confirmation will prevail for the purpose

of the Transaction to which this Confirmation relates. The parties hereby agree that no Transaction other than the Transaction to which

this Confirmation relates shall be governed by the Agreement. If there exists any ISDA Master Agreement between Party A or any of its

affiliates and Party B or any confirmation or other agreements between Party A or any of its affiliates and Party B pursuant to which

an ISDA Master Agreement is deemed to exist between Party A or any of its affiliates and Party B, then notwithstanding anything to the

contrary in such ISDA Master Agreement, such confirmation or agreement or any other agreement to which Party A or such other affiliates

and Party B are parties, the Transaction shall not be considered a transaction under, or otherwise governed by, such existing or deemed

ISDA Master Agreement. For purposes of the 2002 Definitions, the Transaction is a Share Forward Transaction.

Party A and Party B each represents

to the other that it has entered into the Transaction in reliance upon such tax, accounting, regulatory, legal, and financial advice as

it deems necessary and not upon any view expressed by the other.

calculation by the Calculation Agent in such capacity shall be made in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner.

In the event that the Calculation Agent,

I-7

Settlement Terms:

Settlement Date:

Any Scheduled Trading Day following the Effective Date and up to and including the Maturity Date, as designated by (a) Party A pursuant to “Termination Settlement” below or (b) Party B in a written notice (a “Settlement Notice”) that satisfies the Settlement Notice Requirements and is delivered to Party A at least (i) two Scheduled Trading Days prior to such Settlement Date, which may be the Maturity Date, if Physical Settlement applies, and (ii) 90 Scheduled Trading Days prior to such Settlement Date, which may be the Maturity Date, if Cash Settlement or Net Share Settlement applies; provided that (i) the Maturity Date shall be a Settlement Date if on such date the Base Amount is greater than zero, (ii) if Physical Settlement or Net Share Settlement applies and a Settlement Date specified above (including a Settlement Date occurring on the Maturity Date) is not a Clearance System Business Day, the Settlement Date shall be the next following Clearance System Business Day and (iii) if Cash Settlement or Net Share Settlement applies and Party A shall have fully unwound its commercially reasonable hedge during the related Unwind Period with respect to the relevant Settlement Shares by a date that is more than one Scheduled Trading Day prior to a Settlement Date specified above, Party A may, by written notice to Party B, specify any Scheduled Trading Day prior to such originally specified Settlement Date as the Settlement Date.

Settlement Shares:

With respect to any Settlement Date, a number of Shares, not to exceed the Base Amount, designated as such by Party B in the related Settlement Notice or by Party A pursuant to “Termination Settlement” below; provided that on the Maturity Date the number of Settlement Shares shall be equal to the Base Amount on such date.

Settlement Method:

Physical Settlement, Cash Settlement or Net Share Settlement, at the election of Party B as set forth in a Settlement Notice delivered on or after the Effective Date that satisfies the Settlement Notice Requirements; provided that Physical Settlement shall apply (i) if no other Settlement Method is validly selected, (ii) with respect to any Settlement Shares in respect of which Party A is unable, in its good faith and commercially reasonable judgment, to unwind its commercially reasonable hedge by the end of the Unwind Period in a manner that, in the good faith and commercially reasonable judgment of Party A based upon the advice of counsel, is consistent with the requirements for qualifying for the safe harbor provided by Rule 10b-18 under the Exchange Act or due to the lack of sufficient liquidity in the Shares on any Exchange Business Day during the Unwind Period or (iii) to any Termination Settlement Date (as defined below under “Termination Settlement”). For the avoidance of doubt, during any Unwind Period, Party B may elect Physical Settlement (as described above) in respect of any Shares that are not Settlement Shares for the Cash Settlement or Net Share Settlement, as the case may be, to which such Unwind Period relates.

I-8

Settlement Notice Requirements:

Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, a Settlement Notice delivered by Party B that specifies Cash Settlement or Net Share Settlement will not be effective to establish a Settlement Date or require Cash Settlement or Net Share Settlement unless Party B delivers to Party A with such Settlement Notice a representation signed by Party B substantially in the following form: “As of the date of this Settlement Notice, Party B is not aware of any material nonpublic information concerning itself or the Shares, and is designating the date contained herein as a Settlement Date and is electing Cash Settlement or Net Share Settlement, as the case may be, in good faith and not as part of a plan or scheme to evade compliance with the federal securities laws.”

Unwind Period:

Each Exchange Business Day that is not a Suspension Day during the period from and including the first Exchange Business Day following the date Party B validly elects Cash Settlement or Net Share Settlement in respect of a Settlement Date through and including the first Scheduled Trading Day preceding such Settlement Date (or the immediately preceding Exchange Business Day if such Scheduled Trading Day is not an Exchange Business Day); subject to “Termination Settlement” below. If any Exchange Business Day during an Unwind Period is a Disrupted Day, the Calculation Agent shall make commercially reasonable adjustments to the terms of the Transaction (including, without limitation, the Cash Settlement Amount, the number of Net Share Settlement Shares and the 10b-18 VWAP) to account for the occurrence of such Disrupted Day.

Suspension Day:

Any Exchange Business Day on which Party A reasonably determines (in a nondiscriminatory manner applied consistently to similarly situated circumstances) based on the advice of counsel that Cash Settlement or Net Share Settlement may violate applicable securities laws. Party A shall promptly notify Party B if it receives such advice from its counsel.

Market Disruption Event:

Section 6.3(a)(ii) of the 2002 Definitions is hereby amended by replacing clause (ii) in its entirety with “(ii) an Exchange Disruption, or” and inserting immediately following clause (iii) the phrase “; in each case that the Calculation Agent reasonably determines is material.”

I-9

Exchange Act:

The Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended from time to time.

Physical Settlement:

On any Settlement Date in respect of which Physical Settlement applies, Party B shall deliver to Party A through the Clearance System the Settlement Shares in respect of which Physical Settlement applies for such Settlement Date, and Party A shall pay to Party B, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by Party B, an amount in cash equal to the Physical Settlement Amount for such Settlement Date on a delivery versus payment basis. If, on any Settlement Date, the Shares to be delivered by Party B to Party A hereunder upon Physical Settlement are not so delivered (the “Deferred Shares”), and a Forward Price Reduction Date occurs during the period from, and including, such Settlement Date to, but excluding, the date such Shares are actually delivered to Party A, then the portion of the Physical Settlement Amount payable by Party A to Party B in respect of the Deferred Shares shall be reduced by an amount equal to the Forward Price Reduction Amount for such Forward Price Reduction Date, multiplied by the number of Deferred Shares. For the avoidance of doubt, no Forward Price Reduction Amount for a Forward Price Reduction Date shall be applied to reduce the Forward Price more than once.

Physical Settlement Amount:

For any Settlement Date in respect of which Physical Settlement applies, an amount in cash equal to the product of (i) the Forward Price on such Settlement Date and (ii) the number of Settlement Shares in respect of which Physical Settlement applies for such Settlement Date.

Cash Settlement:

On any Settlement Date in respect of which Cash Settlement applies to any Settlement Shares, if the Cash Settlement Amount for such Settlement Date is a positive number, Party A will pay such Cash Settlement Amount to Party B. If the Cash Settlement Amount is a negative number, Party B will pay the absolute value of such Cash Settlement Amount to Party A. Such amounts shall be paid on the Settlement Date.

I-10

Cash Settlement Amount:

For any Settlement Date in respect of which Cash Settlement or Net Share Settlement applies to any Settlement Shares, an amount determined by the Calculation Agent equal to the difference between (1) the product of (i) (A) the average Forward Price over the period beginning on, and including, the date that is one Settlement Cycle following the first day of the applicable Unwind Period and ending on, and including, such Settlement Date (calculated assuming no reduction to the Forward Price for any Forward Price Reduction Date that occurs during the applicable Unwind Period, except as set forth in clause (2) below), minus a commercially reasonable commission not to exceed USD 0.01, minus (B) the average of the 10b-18 VWAP prices per Share on each Exchange Business Day during such Unwind Period (the “Average Unwind 10b-18 VWAP”), multiplied by (ii) the number of Settlement Shares for such Settlement Date, minus (2) the product of (i) the Forward Price Reduction Amount for any Forward Price Reduction Date that occurs during such Unwind Period, multiplied by (ii) the number of Settlement Shares with respect to which Party A has not unwound its commercially reasonable hedge as of such Forward Price Reduction Date (assuming Party A acts in a commercially reasonable manner).

Net Share Settlement:

On any Settlement Date in respect of which Net Share Settlement applies to any Settlement Shares, if the Cash Settlement Amount is a (i) positive number, Party A shall deliver to Party B a number of Shares equal to the Net Share Settlement Shares, or (ii) negative number, Party B shall deliver to Party A a number of Shares equal to the Net Share Settlement Shares; provided that if Party A determines in its good faith and commercially reasonable judgment that it would be required to deliver Net Share Settlement Shares to Party B, Party A may elect to deliver a portion of such Net Share Settlement Shares on one or more dates prior to the applicable Settlement Date.

Net Share Settlement Shares:

For any Settlement Date in respect of which Net Share Settlement applies to any Settlement Shares, a number of Shares equal to the absolute value of the Cash Settlement Amount divided by the Average Unwind 10b-18 VWAP, with the number of Shares rounded up in the event such calculation results in a fractional number of Shares.

I-11

10b-18 VWAP:

For any Exchange Business Day during the Unwind Period that is not a Suspension Day, the volume-weighted average price at which the Shares trade as reported in the composite transactions for the Exchange on such Exchange Business Day, excluding (i) trades that do not settle regular way, (ii) opening (regular way) reported trades on the Exchange on such Exchange Business Day, (iii) trades that occur in the last ten minutes before the scheduled close of trading on the Exchange on such Exchange Business Day and ten minutes before the scheduled close of the primary trading session in the market where the trade is effected, and (iv) trades on such Exchange Business Day that do not satisfy the requirements of Rule 10b-18(b)(3), as determined in good faith by the Calculation Agent. Party B acknowledges that Party A may refer to the Bloomberg Page “OGE <Equity> AQR SEC” (or any successor thereto), in its discretion, for such Exchange Business Day to determine the 10b-18 VWAP.

Settlement Currency:

USD.

Failure to Deliver:

Inapplicable.

Adjustments:

Potential Adjustment Event:

The definition of “Potential Adjustment

Notwithstanding Section 11.2(e) of the

2002 Definitions, the following repurchases of Shares (if applicable) shall not be considered to be a Potential Adjustment Event:

(i) Shares

in connection with the issuance and/or delivery of Shares to directors under director compensation programs.

I-12

the 2002 Definitions, the following shall not be considered to be a Potential Adjustment Event:

(i) any

issuance of Shares by Party B to employees, officers and directors of Party B, including pursuant to compensation programs;

(ii) any

issuance of Shares pursuant to Party B’s dividend reinvestment and direct stock purchase plans;

(iii) any

(iv) the

issuance of any Shares as a result of the conversion of any convertible securities issued by Party B as described in clause (iii) above;

Notwithstanding anything in the 2002 Definitions to the contrary, the Calculation Agent may make an adjustment pursuant to Calculation Agent Adjustment to any one or more of the Base Amount, the Forward Price and any other variable relevant to the settlement or payment terms of the Transaction.

Additional Adjustment:

If at any time, in Party A’s good faith and commercially reasonable judgment, the stock loan fee to Party A (or an Affiliate thereof), excluding the federal funds rate (or other interest rate) component payable by the relevant stock lender to Party A or such Affiliate (the “Stock Loan Fee”), over any one month period (or, in respect of any day from, and including, the Trade Date to, but excluding, the date that is one month following the Trade Date, over the period of days as have elapsed from, and including, the Trade Date to, and including, such day) of borrowing a number of Shares equal to the Base Amount to hedge in a commercially reasonable manner its exposure to the Transaction exceeds a weighted average rate equal to 25 basis points per annum, the Calculation Agent shall reduce the Forward Price in order to compensate Party A for the amount by which the Stock Loan Fee exceeded a weighted average rate equal to 25 basis points per annum during such period. The Calculation Agent shall notify Party B prior to making any such adjustment to the Forward Price and, upon the request of Party B, Party A shall provide an itemized list of the Stock Loan Fees for the applicable period specified above in this paragraph. Party A agrees to notify Party B (which may be by email) upon determining that the Stock Loan Fee over the one-month period referred to above is reasonably likely to exceed 25 basis points per annum; provided that failure to deliver such notice shall not give rise to an Event of Default or Potential Event of Default.

Party.

Additional

Representations, Warranties and Agreements of Party B: Party B hereby represents and warrants to, and agrees with, Party A

as of the date hereof that:

of profits or capital or whether the consideration for such repurchase is cash, securities or otherwise (an “Issuer Repurchase”),

that alone or in the aggregate would result in the Base Amount Percentage (as defined below) being (i) equal to or greater than 4.9%

of the outstanding Shares and (ii) greater by 0.5% or more than the Base Amount Percentage at the time of the immediately preceding

Issuer Repurchase Notice (or in the case of the first such Issuer Repurchase Notice, greater than the Base Amount Percentage as of the

Act”), and (ii) as may be required to be obtained under state securities laws.

limitation, any direct purchases by Party B or any of its Affiliates or any purchases by a party to a derivative transaction with Party

B or any of its Affiliates), either under this Confirmation, under an agreement with another party or otherwise, that would cause any

purchases of Shares by Party A or any of its Affiliates in connection with any Cash Settlement or Net Share Settlement of the Transaction

not to meet the requirements of the safe harbor provided by Rule 10b-18 under the Exchange Act if such purchases were made by Party

I-16

(h) Party B will not engage in any “distribution” (as defined in Regulation M under the Exchange

Act (“Regulation M”)) that would cause a “restricted period” (as defined in Regulation M) to occur during

any Unwind Period.

(i) Party B is an “eligible contract participant” (as such term is defined in Section 1a(18)

of the Commodity Exchange Act, as amended).

(j) In addition to any other requirements set forth herein, Party B agrees not to elect Cash Settlement or

Net Share Settlement if, in the good faith reasonable judgment of either Party A or Party B, such settlement or Party A’s related

market activity would result in a violation of the U.S. federal securities laws or any other federal or state law or regulation applicable

to Party B.

its hedge position with respect to the Transaction;

(ii) Party A and its Affiliates may also be active in the market for the Shares and Share-linked transactions

other than in connection with hedging activities in relation to the Transaction;

(iii) Party A shall make its own determination as to whether, when or in what manner any hedging or market activities

in Party B’s securities shall be conducted and shall do so in a manner that it deems appropriate to hedge its price and market risk

with respect to the Forward Price and the 10b-18 VWAP;

(iv) any market activities of Party A and its Affiliates with respect to the Shares may affect the market price

and volatility of the Shares, as well as the Forward Price and 10b-18 VWAP, each in a manner that may be adverse to Party B; and

(v) the Transaction is a derivatives transaction in which it has granted Party A the right, under certain

circumstances, to receive cash or Shares, as the case may be; Party A may purchase Shares for its own account at an average price that

may be greater than, or less than, the effective price paid by Party B under the terms of the Transaction.

(o) Party B covenants and agrees that it shall perform all of the obligations required to be performed by

it under the Equity Distribution Agreement (including, without limitation, to the extent required to satisfy the conditions set forth

in Section 8 of the Equity Distribution Agreement) on or prior to the Trade Date and the corresponding Effective Date.

Covenant

of Party B:

Subject to the provisions of “Private

Placement Procedures” below, the parties acknowledge and agree that any Shares delivered by Party B to Party A on any Settlement

Date will be newly issued Shares and when delivered by Party A (or an Affiliate of Party A) to securities lenders from whom Party A (or

an Affiliate of Party A) borrowed Shares in connection with hedging its exposure to the Transaction will be freely saleable without further

registration or other restrictions under the Securities Act, in the hands of those securities lenders, irrespective of whether such stock

loan is effected by Party A or an Affiliate of Party A (provided that such Shares may be subject to resale restrictions if the

status of any such securities lender would cause any such resale restrictions to apply by virtue of its share ownership in Party B, status

as an “Affiliate” of Party B or otherwise). Accordingly, subject to the provisions of “Private Placement Procedures”

below, Party B agrees that the Shares that it delivers to Party A on each Settlement Date will not bear a restrictive legend and that

such Shares will be deposited in, and the delivery thereof shall be effected through the facilities of, the Clearance System.

I-18

Covenants of Party A:

(a) Unless the provisions set forth below under “Private Placement Procedures” shall be applicable,

Party A shall use any Shares delivered by Party B to Party A on any Settlement Date to return to securities lenders to close out open

Share loans created by Party A or an Affiliate of Party A in the course of Party A’s or such Affiliate’s hedging activities

related to Party A’s exposure under this Confirmation.

(b) In connection with bids and purchases of Shares in connection with any Cash Settlement or Net Share Settlement

of the Transaction, Party A shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to conduct its activities, or cause its Affiliates to conduct

their activities, in a manner consistent with the requirements of the safe harbor provided by Rule 10b-18 under the Exchange Act,

as if such provisions were applicable to such purchases.

(d) Party A hereby represents and warrants to Party B that it has implemented policies and procedures, taking

into consideration the nature of its business, reasonably designed to ensure that individuals conducting hedging activity related to the

Transaction do not have access to material non-public information regarding the Issuer or the Shares.

Insolvency Filing:

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary

herein, in the Agreement or in the Definitions, upon any Insolvency Filing in respect of the Issuer, the Transaction shall automatically

terminate on the date thereof without further liability of either party to this Confirmation to the other party (except for any liability

in respect of any breach of representation or covenant by a party under this Confirmation prior to the date of such Insolvency Filing).

Extraordinary Dividends:

If an ex-dividend date for an Extraordinary

Dividend occurs on or after the Trade Date and on or prior to the Maturity Date (or, if later, the last date on which Shares are delivered

by Party B to Party A in settlement of the Transaction), Party B shall pay an amount, as determined by the Calculation Agent, in cash

equal to the product of (1) such Extraordinary Dividend and (2) the Base Amount to Party A on the earlier of (i) the date

on which such Extraordinary Dividend is paid by the Issuer to holders of record of the Shares or (ii) the Maturity Date. “Extraordinary

Dividend” means the per Share amount of any cash dividend or distribution declared by the Issuer with respect to the Shares

that is specified by the board of directors of the Issuer as an “extraordinary” dividend.

I-19

Acceleration Events:

The following events shall each constitute

an “Acceleration Event”:

(a) Stock Borrow Events. In Party A’s good faith commercially reasonable judgment Party A (or

its Affiliate) is unable to hedge Party A’s exposure to the Transaction because (i) of the lack of sufficient Shares being

made available for Share borrowing by lenders, or (ii) Party A (or an Affiliate of Party A) would incur a Stock Loan Fee to hedge

its exposure to the Transaction that is greater than a rate equal to 200 basis points per annum (each, a “Stock Borrow Event”);

(b) Dividends and Other Distributions. On any day occurring after the Trade Date Party B declares a

distribution, issue or dividend to existing holders of the Shares of (i) any cash dividend (other than an Extraordinary Dividend)

to the extent all cash dividends having an ex-dividend date during the period from and including any Forward Price Reduction Date (with

the Trade Date being a Forward Price Reduction Date for purposes of this clause (b) only) to but excluding the next subsequent Forward

Price Reduction Date exceeds, on a per Share basis, the Forward Price Reduction Amount set forth opposite the first date of any such period

on Schedule I or (ii) share capital or securities of another issuer acquired or owned (directly or indirectly) by Party B as a result

of a spin-off or other similar transaction or (iii) any other type of securities (other than Shares), rights or warrants or other

assets, for payment (cash or other consideration) at less than the prevailing market price as reasonably determined by Party A; provided

that, to the extent the declaration of a distribution, issue or dividend contemplated by this paragraph (b) would also be considered

to be the type of event to which Calculation Agent Adjustment would apply as specified under “Adjustments—Method of Adjustment”

above, the provisions of this paragraph (b) will apply and Calculation Agent Adjustment shall not apply;

pursuant to Section 6 of the Agreement;

(d) Other ISDA Events. The announcement of any event that if consummated, would result in an Extraordinary

Event or the occurrence of any Change in Law or a Delisting; provided that in case of a Delisting, in addition to the provisions

of Section 12.6(a)(iii) of the 2002 Definitions, it will also constitute a Delisting if the Exchange is located in the United

States and the Shares are not immediately re-listed, re-traded or re-quoted on any of the New York Stock Exchange, the NASDAQ Global Select

Market or the NASDAQ Global Market (or their respective successors); and provided further, that the definition of “Change

in Law” provided in Section 12.9(a)(ii) of the 2002 Definitions is hereby amended by (i) replacing the phrase “the

interpretation” in the third line thereof with the phrase “, or public announcement of, the formal or informal interpretation”,

and (ii) replacing the parenthetical beginning after the word “regulation” in the second line thereof with the words

“(including, for the avoidance of doubt and without limitation, (x) any tax law or (y) adoption, effectiveness or promulgation

of new regulations authorized or mandated by existing statute)”; provided further, that no change in, or announcement of

an interpretation of, any tax law shall constitute a Change in Law to the extent it relates to (A) any Tax imposed on or measured

by the overall net income of Party A or its Affiliates or (B) any FATCA Withholding Tax or 871(m) Withholding Tax (each as defined

under “Tax Matters” below); or

I-20

(e) Ownership Event. In the good faith reasonable judgment of Party A, on any day, the Share Amount

for such day exceeds the Post-Effective Limit for such day (if any applies) (an “Ownership Event”).

For purposes of clause (e) above,

the “Share Amount” as of any day is the number of Shares that Party A and any of its Affiliates and any person whose

ownership position would be aggregated with that of Party A, including any “group” (within the meaning of Section 13

of the Exchange Act) of which Party A is or may be deemed to be a part (Party A or any such person or group, a “Party A Person”)

under any law, rule, regulation, regulatory order or organizational documents or contracts of Party B that are, in each case, applicable

to ownership of Shares, including, without limitation, under any Oklahoma or Arkansas business combination or control share acquisition

statutes, under the Federal Power Act, under any rule, regulation or order of the Oklahoma Corporation Commission, Arkansas Public Service

Commission, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission or other regulatory body (“Applicable Restrictions”), owns, beneficially

owns, constructively owns, controls, holds the power to vote or otherwise meets a relevant definition of ownership of under any Applicable

Restriction, as determined by Party A in its good faith reasonable discretion. The “Post-Effective Limit” means a number

of Shares equal to (x) the minimum number of Shares that would give rise to reporting or registration obligations or other requirements

(including obtaining prior approval from any person or entity) of a Party A Person, or would result in an adverse effect on a Party A

Person, under any Applicable Restriction, as determined by Party A in its good faith reasonable discretion, minus (y) 1% of

the number of Shares outstanding.

I-21

Termination

Settlement:

Upon the occurrence of any Acceleration

Event, Party A shall have the right to designate, upon at least one Scheduled Trading Day’s notice, any Scheduled Trading Day following

such occurrence to be a Settlement Date hereunder (a “Termination Settlement Date”) to which Physical Settlement shall

apply, and to select the number of Settlement Shares relating to such Termination Settlement Date; provided that (i) in the

case of an Acceleration Event arising out of an Ownership Event, the number of Settlement Shares so designated by Party A shall not exceed

the number of Shares necessary to reduce the Share Amount to the Post-Effective Limit and (ii) in the case of an Acceleration Event

arising out of a Stock Borrow Event, the number of Settlement Shares so designated by Party A shall not exceed the number of Shares as

to which such Stock Borrow Event exists. If, upon designation of a Termination Settlement Date by Party A pursuant to the preceding sentence,

Party B fails to deliver the Settlement Shares relating to such Termination Settlement Date when due or otherwise fails to perform obligations

within its control in respect of the Transaction, it shall be an Event of Default with respect to Party B and Section 6 of the Agreement

shall apply. If an Acceleration Event occurs during an Unwind Period relating to a number of Settlement Shares to which Cash Settlement

or Net Share Settlement applies, then on the Termination Settlement Date relating to such Acceleration Event, notwithstanding any election

to the contrary by Party B, Cash Settlement or Net Share Settlement shall apply to the portion of the Settlement Shares relating to such

Unwind Period as to which Party A has unwound its hedge and Physical Settlement shall apply in respect of (x) the remainder (if any)

of such Settlement Shares and (y) the Settlement Shares designated by Party A in respect of such Termination Settlement Date.

Under no circumstances will Party A be

entitled to an adjustment to the terms of the Transaction for the effects of an Extraordinary Dividend as defined in this Confirmation

or a change in expected cash dividends (in either case, except as set forth above under the headings “Acceleration Events”

and “Extraordinary Dividends”).

Private

Placement Procedures:

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary

contained in Section 9.11 of the 2002 Definitions, if Party B is unable to comply with the provisions of “Covenant of Party

B” above because of a change in law or a change in the policy of the Securities and Exchange Commission or its staff, or Party A

otherwise determines that in its reasonable opinion based on the advice of counsel any Settlement Shares to be delivered to Party A by

Party B may not be freely returned by Party A or its Affiliates to securities lenders as described under “Covenant of Party B”

above, then delivery of any such Settlement Shares (the “Restricted Shares”) shall be effected pursuant to Annex A

hereto, unless waived by Party A.

Rule 10b5-1:

It is the intent of Party A and Party

B that following any election of Cash Settlement or Net Share Settlement by Party B, the purchase of Shares by Party A during any Unwind

Period comply with the requirements of Rule 10b5-1(c)(1)(i) (B) of the Exchange Act and that this Confirmation shall be

interpreted to comply with the requirements of Rule 10b5-1(c).

I-22

Party B acknowledges that (i) during

any Unwind Period Party B does not have, and shall not attempt to exercise, any influence over how, when or whether to effect purchases

of Shares by Party A (or its agent or Affiliate) in connection with this Confirmation and (ii) Party B is entering into the Agreement

and this Confirmation in good faith and not as part of a plan or scheme to evade compliance with federal securities laws including, without

limitation, Rule 10b-5 promulgated under the Exchange Act.

Party B hereby agrees with Party A that

during any Unwind Period Party B shall not communicate, directly or indirectly, any material non-public information to any EDG personnel.

For purposes of this Confirmation, “EDG Personnel” means the employees on the trading side of the Equity Derivatives

Group of Party A listed in Schedule II of this Confirmation (which may be amended from time to time by Party A and delivered to Party

B in writing), and does not include any of Party A’s “private side” equity or equity-linked personnel (including, without

limitation, any Party A equity or equity-linked legal personnel) (or any other person or persons designated from time to time in writing

to Party B by Party A).

Maximum

Share Delivery:

Notwithstanding any other provision of

this Confirmation, in no event will Party B be required to deliver on any Settlement Date, whether pursuant to Physical Settlement, Net

Share Settlement, Termination Settlement or any Private Placement Settlement, more than a number of Shares equal to 150% of the initial

Base Amount to Party A, subject to reduction by the amount of any Shares delivered by Party B on any prior Settlement Date. For purposes

of the Equity Distribution Agreement, such maximum number of Shares shall constitute the “Capped Number” referenced therein.

Transfer

and Assignment:

Party A may assign or transfer any of

its rights or delegate any of its duties hereunder to any Affiliate of Party A that has a long-term issuer rating or a rating for its

long term, unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness that is equal to or better than Party A’s credit rating at the time of such

assignment or transfer so long as (a) such assignee or transferee is organized under the laws of the United States or any State thereof;

(b) Party B will not be required to pay to such assignee or transferee an amount in respect of an Indemnifiable Tax under Section 2(d)(i)(4) of

the Agreement greater than the amount in respect of which Party B would have been required to pay Party A in the absence of such assignment

or transfer; (c) Party B will not receive a payment from which an amount has been withheld or deducted on account of a Tax under

Section 2(d)(i) of the Agreement in excess of that which Party A would have been required to so withhold or deduct in the absence

of such assignment or transfer, unless Party A would be required to pay to Party B amounts under Section 2(d)(i)(4) of the Agreement

in respect of such Tax; and (d) no Event of Default, Potential Event of Default, Termination Event, or Acceleration Event will occur

as a result of such assignment or transfer. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Confirmation to the contrary requiring or allowing

Party A to purchase, sell, receive or deliver any Shares or other securities to or from Party B, Party A may designate any of its Affiliates

to purchase, sell, receive or deliver such Shares or other securities and otherwise to perform Party A’s obligations in respect

of the Transaction and any such designee may assume such obligations. Party A shall be discharged of its obligations to Party B to the

extent of any such performance.

I-23

Indemnity:

Party B agrees to indemnify Party A and

its Affiliates and their respective directors, officers, agents and controlling parties (Party A and each such Affiliate or person being

an “Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities, joint and several, incurred

by or asserted against such Indemnified Party arising out of, in connection with, or relating to, any breach of any covenant or representation

made by Party B in this Confirmation or the Agreement and will reimburse any Indemnified Party for all reasonable documented expenses

(including reasonable documented legal fees and expenses) in connection with the investigation of, preparation for, or defense of any

pending or threatened claim or any action or proceeding arising therefrom, whether or not such Indemnified Party is a party thereto, but

only to the extent that the relevant loss, claim, damage, liability or expense is found in a final and nonappealable judgment by a court

of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such breach. Party B will not be liable under this Indemnity paragraph to the extent that

any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense is found in a final and nonappealable judgment by a court to have resulted from Party A’s

gross negligence, fraud, willful misconduct or breach of this Confirmation or the Agreement.

4. The Agreement is further supplemented by the following provisions:

Collateral or Setoff:

Notwithstanding Section 6(f) or

any other provision of the Agreement or any other agreement between the parties to the contrary, the obligations of Party B hereunder

are not secured by any collateral. Obligations under the Transaction shall not be set off against any other obligations of the parties,

whether arising under the Agreement, this Confirmation, under any other agreement between the parties hereto, by operation of law or otherwise,

and no other obligations of the parties shall be set off against obligations under the Transaction, whether arising under the Agreement,

this Confirmation, under any other agreement between the parties hereto, by operation of law or otherwise, and each party hereby waives

any such right of setoff. In calculating any amounts under Section 6(e) of the Agreement, notwithstanding anything to the contrary

in the Agreement, (a) separate amounts shall be calculated as set forth in such Section 6(e) with respect to (i) the

Transaction and (ii) all other Transactions, and (b) such separate amounts shall be payable pursuant to Section 6(d)(ii) of

the Agreement.

I-24

Status

of Claims in Bankruptcy:

Party A acknowledges and agrees that this

Confirmation is not intended to convey to Party A rights with respect to the Transaction contemplated hereby that are senior to the claims

of common stockholders in any U.S. bankruptcy proceedings of Party B; provided, however, that nothing herein shall

limit or shall be deemed to limit Party A’s right to pursue remedies in the event of a breach by Party B of its obligations and

agreements with respect to this Confirmation and the Agreement; and provided further, that nothing herein shall limit or shall

be deemed to limit Party A’s rights in respect of any transaction other than the Transaction.

Limit

on Beneficial Ownership:

Notwithstanding

any other provisions hereof, Party A shall not have the “right to acquire” (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 under the

Exchange Act) and/or an interest in (within the meaning of NYSE Rule 312.04(e)) Shares hereunder and Party A shall not be entitled

to take delivery of any Shares deliverable hereunder (in each case, whether in connection with the purchase of Shares on any Settlement

Date or any Termination Settlement Date, any Private Placement Settlement or otherwise) to the extent (but only to the extent) that, after

such receipt of any Shares hereunder, (i) the Share Amount would exceed the Post-Effective Limit or (ii) the Section 16

Percentage would exceed 4.9% or (iii) Party A and each person subject to aggregation of Shares with Party A under Section 13

or Section 16 of the Exchange Act and rules promulgated thereunder (the “Party A Group”) would directly or

indirectly beneficially own (as such term is defined for purposes of Section 13 or Section 16 of the Exchange Act and rules promulgated

thereunder) in excess of 4.9% of the outstanding Shares as of the Trade Date (the “Threshold Number of Shares”). Any

purported delivery hereunder shall be void and have no effect to the extent (but only to the extent) that, after such delivery, (i) the

Share Amount would exceed the Post-Effective Limit (ii) the Section 16 Percentage would exceed 4.9% or (iii) Party A Group

would directly or indirectly so beneficially own in excess of the Threshold Number of Shares. If any delivery owed to Party A hereunder

is not made, in whole or in part, as a result of this provision, Party B’s obligation to make such delivery shall not be extinguished

and Party B shall make such delivery as promptly as practicable after, but in no event later than one Exchange Business Day after, Party

A gives notice to Party B that, after such delivery, (i) the Share Amount would not exceed the Post-Effective Limit; (ii) the

Section 16 Percentage would not exceed 4.9% and (iii) or Party A Group would not directly or indirectly so beneficially own

in excess of the Threshold Number of Shares. The “Section 16 Percentage” as of any day is the fraction, expressed

as a percentage, (A) the numerator of which is the number of Shares that Party A and any of its Affiliates or any other person subject

to aggregation with Party A for purposes of the “beneficial ownership” test under Section 13 of the Exchange Act, or

any “group” (within the meaning of Section 13 of the Exchange Act) of which Party A is or may be deemed to be a part

beneficially owns (within the meaning of Section 13 of the Exchange Act), without duplication, on such day (or, to the extent that

for any reason the equivalent calculation under Section 16 of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder

results in a higher number, such higher number) and (B) the denominator of which is the number of Shares outstanding on such day.

I-25

In addition, notwithstanding anything

herein to the contrary, if any delivery owed to Party A hereunder is not made, in whole or in part, as a result of the immediately preceding

paragraph, Party A shall be permitted to make any payment due in respect of such Shares to Party B in two or more tranches that correspond

in amount to the number of Shares delivered by Party B to Party A pursuant to the immediately preceding paragraph.

ANNEX A

PRIVATE

PLACEMENT PROCEDURES

(i) If Party B delivers the Restricted Shares pursuant to this clause (i) (a “Private Placement

Settlement”), then delivery of Restricted Shares by Party B shall be effected in customary private placement procedures for

placements of equity securities of similar size by issuers of comparable size to Party B and in the same industry as Party B, reasonably

acceptable to Party A; provided that if, on or before the date that a Private Placement Settlement would occur, Party B has taken,

or caused to be taken, any action that would make unavailable either the exemption pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities

Act for the sale by Party B to Party A (or any Affiliate designated by Party A) of the Restricted Shares or the exemption pursuant to

Section 4(a) (1) or Section 4(a)(3) of the Securities Act for resales of the Restricted Shares by Party A (or

any such Affiliate of Party A) or Party B fails to deliver the Restricted Shares when due or otherwise fails to perform obligations within

its control in respect of a Private Placement Settlement, it shall be an Event of Default with respect to Party B and Section 6 of

the Agreement shall apply. The Private Placement Settlement of such Restricted Shares shall include customary representations, covenants,

blue sky and other governmental filings and/or registrations, indemnities to Party A, due diligence rights (for Party A or any designated

buyer of the Restricted Shares by Party A), opinions and certificates, and such other documentation as is customary for private placement

agreements of similar size, all reasonably acceptable to Party A. In the case of a Private Placement Settlement, Party A shall, in its

good faith commercially reasonable discretion, adjust the number of Restricted Shares to be delivered to Party A hereunder and/or the

Forward Price in a commercially reasonable manner to reflect the fact that such Restricted Shares may not be freely returned to securities

lenders by Party A and may only be saleable by Party A at a discount to reflect the lack of liquidity in Restricted Shares based on actual

charges or discounts given (assuming shares are sold in a commercially reasonable manner at prevailing market prices, taking into account

such discount). Notwithstanding the Agreement or this Confirmation, the date of delivery of such Restricted Shares shall be the Clearance

System Business Day following notice by Party A to Party B of the number of Restricted Shares to be delivered pursuant to this clause

(i). For the avoidance of doubt, delivery of Restricted Shares shall be due as set forth in the previous sentence and not be due on the

Settlement Date or Termination Settlement Date that would otherwise be applicable.

(ii) If Party B delivers any Restricted Shares in respect of the Transaction, Party B agrees that (i) such

Shares may be transferred by and among Party A and its Affiliates and (ii) after the minimum “holding period” within

the meaning of Rule 144(d) under the Securities Act has elapsed after the applicable Settlement Date, Party B shall promptly

remove, or cause the transfer agent for the Shares to remove, any legends referring to any transfer restrictions from such Shares upon

delivery by Party A (or such Affiliate of Party A) to Party B or such transfer agent of seller’s and broker’s representation

letters customarily delivered by Party A or its Affiliates in connection with resales of restricted securities pursuant to Rule 144

under the Securities Act, each without any further requirement for the delivery of any certificate, consent, agreement, opinion of counsel,

notice or any other document, any transfer tax stamps or payment of any other amount or any other action by Party A (or such Affiliate

of Party A).

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as special counsel

to OGE Energy Corp., an Oklahoma corporation (“Company”), in connection with the proposed issuance and sale

from time to time by Company of its common stock, par value $0.01 per share, in an amount having an aggregate offering price of up to

$750,000,000 (the “Shares”) pursuant to the equity distribution agreement dated October 28, 2026 (the “Distribution

Agreement”) among Company, the Agents named therein, the Forward Purchasers named therein and the Forward Sellers named

therein. The Shares are to be issued pursuant to the Registration Statement on Form S-3 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended

(the “Act”), initially filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”)

on May 2, 2024 (the “Registration Statement”), the base prospectus included in the Registration Statement

(the “Base Prospectus”), and the prospectus supplement to be filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) of

the rules and regulations of the Act (the “Prospectus Supplement” and together with the Base Prospectus,

the “Prospectus”). This opinion is being furnished in connection with the requirements of Item 601(b)(5) of

Regulation S-K under the Act, and no opinion is expressed herein as to any matter pertaining to the contents of the Registration Statement

or the Prospectus, other than as expressly stated herein with respect to the issuance of the Shares.

As such counsel, we have examined

originals or copies of the Distribution Agreement, the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, Company’s Restated Certificate of

Incorporation, Company’s Amended By-laws and other records, documents, certificates, memoranda and instruments as in our judgment

are necessary or appropriate to enable us to render the opinion expressed below. With your consent, we have relied upon certificates and

other assurances of officers of Company and others as to factual matters without having independently verified such factual matters.

In rendering the opinion expressed

below, we have assumed without verification the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity of all natural persons, the authenticity

of all documents supplied to us as originals, the conformity to the originals of all documents supplied to us as copies and the authenticity

of the originals of such copies. We have also assumed that all Shares will be issued and sold in the manner stated in the Registration

Statement and the Prospectus.

Based upon the foregoing,

and subject to the limitations and assumptions set forth herein, we are of the opinion that the Shares, when issued and delivered against

payment therefor in accordance with the terms of the Distribution Agreement, will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

Our opinions expressed herein

are subject to the following qualifications:

(i)            Our

opinions are limited to the laws of the State of Oklahoma, and we do not express any opinion as to the laws of any other jurisdiction,

including without limitation the federal laws of the United States;

(ii)           The

opinions herein are limited to the matters expressly set forth in this letter, and no opinions are implied or may be inferred beyond the

matters expressly so stated; and

(iii)          The

opinions expressed herein are as of the date hereof only and are based on laws, orders, contract terms and provisions, and facts as of

such date, and we disclaim any obligation to update this opinion letter after such date or to advise you of changes of facts stated or

assumed herein or any subsequent changes in law.

We consent to your filing

this opinion as an exhibit to Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K being filed on the date hereof and incorporated by reference

into the Registration Statement. In giving this consent, we do not admit that we are in the category of persons whose consent is required

under Section 7 of the Act or the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder.
