Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On October 6, 2026, WhiteHawk Minerals Corp. (the “Company”) entered into a Dealer Manager Agreement (the “Dealer Manager Agreement”) with Preferred Capital Securities, LLC (the “Dealer Manager”), pursuant to which the Dealer Manager has agreed to serve as the Company’s agent and dealer manager for the Company’s offering (the “Offering”) of up to 100,000 shares (the “Shares”) of Series F Redeemable Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Series F Preferred Stock”), as set forth in the Prospectus (as defined below). The Company filed the Certificate of Designations of the Series F Redeemable Preferred Stock relating to the Shares (the “Certificate of Designations”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on October 1, 2026.

On October 1, 2026, the Company filed a registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-299246) (the “Registration Statement”), including a prospectus, with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) under the Securities Act to register the offer and sale of the Shares, which Registration Statement was declared effective by the SEC on October 6, 2026. The Shares will be offered and sold pursuant to the prospectus contained in the Registration Statement (the “Prospectus”).

Pursuant to the Certificate of Designations, the Series F Preferred Stock will pay cumulative dividends at a fixed annual rate of 7.5% per annum of the stated value of $1,000.00 per share (the “Stated Value”). Prior to the listing of Series F Preferred Stock on a national securities exchange, each holder of shares of Series F Preferred Stock is entitled to redeem any portion of the outstanding shares held by such holder at any time, subject to certain early redemption fees and limitations. The Company may, at its option, redeem shares of Series F Preferred Stock on or after the first anniversary of the date on which such shares have been issued upon not more than 90 calendar days written notice to the holders prior to the date fixed for redemption thereof, subject to certain limitations.

The Dealer Manager Agreement provides that the Dealer Manager will use its “best efforts” to sell the Shares in the Offering pursuant to a subscription agreement as set forth in the Prospectus. The Dealer Manager is not required to sell any specific number or dollar amount of the Series F Preferred Stock but will use its best efforts to sell the Series F Preferred Stock offered. Each Share will be sold at a public offering price of up to $1,000.00 per share, subject to adjustment as set forth in the Prospectus. Subject to the terms, conditions and limitations described in the Dealer Manager Agreement, the Company will pay to the Dealer Manager a dealer manager fee in an amount equal to up to 2.5% of the Stated Value per Share sold in the Offering and a selling commission of up to 5.5% of the Stated Value per Share sold in the Offering. The Company may pay reduced selling commissions or may eliminate commissions on certain sales of the Series F Preferred Stock, including the reduction or elimination of selling commissions in accordance with, and on the terms set forth in, the Prospectus. The Company expects the Dealer Manager to authorize participating broker-dealers that are members of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority to sell the Shares. The Dealer Manager may reallow all or a portion of its selling commission attributable to a participating broker-dealer. The Dealer Manager may also reallow a portion of its dealer manager fee earned on the proceeds raised by a participating broker-dealer, to such participating broker-dealer as a marketing fee.

Pursuant to the Dealer Manager Agreement, the Company has agreed to indemnify the Dealer Manager and participating broker-dealers, and the Dealer Manager has agreed to indemnify the Company, against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including, but not limited to, those arising out of (i) untrue statements of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto relating to the Offering or (ii) the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated in the Registration Statement, Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto relating to the Offering.

The Company intends to rely on the exemption provided by Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), for the issuance of any shares of Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class A common stock”), for which the Series F Preferred Stock may be redeemed.

On October 6, 2026, the Company entered into a Preferred Shareholder Services Agreement (the “Services Agreement”) with Preferred Shareholder Services, LLC (“PSS”), an affiliate of the Dealer Manager, pursuant to which PSS will provide certain non-distribution related support services to the Company relating to the Series F Preferred Stock. The Company is responsible for payments due under the Services Agreement. The services to be provided by PSS include, among other things, assistance with recordkeeping, communications with the holders of Series F Preferred Stock dealing with administrative matters, oversight and administration of an e-delivery program for communications to all affected parties, and facilitation of and acting as liaison to the transfer agent and other service providers for the holders of Series F Preferred Stock.

The foregoing descriptions of the Dealer Manager Agreement and the Services Agreement are only summaries and are qualified in their entireties by references to the full texts of the Dealer Manager Agreement and the Services Agreement, copies of which are filed as Exhibits 1.1 and 10.1, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.

In connection with the Offering, the Company has adopted a form of Subscription Agreement (the “Subscription Agreement”) pursuant to which purchasers of Series F Preferred Stock will subscribe for Shares.

The foregoing description of the Subscription Agreement is only a summary and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Subscription Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.

Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.

On October 1, 2026, the Company filed the Certificate of Designations with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware to establish the Series F Preferred Stock, designating 100,000 shares of the Company’s authorized preferred stock as Series F Redeemable Preferred Stock. The Series F Preferred Stock ranks, with respect to the payment of dividends and rights upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company’s affairs: (i) senior to all classes or series of the Company’s Class A common stock; (ii) on a parity with the Company’s Series B Preferred Stock; and (iii) junior to the Company’s Series E Preferred Stock and to all existing and future debt indebtedness of the Company.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

WhiteHawk Minerals Corp.

No. 333-299246), as the same may be amended or supplemented (the “Registration Statement”), that has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), and a prospectus and any prospectus supplements filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) in connection with the Offering. Subject to the notice requirements set forth in Section 18, the Company reserves the right to conduct other offerings registered or exempt from registration with the SEC.

The Company hereby appoints Preferred Capital Securities, LLC, a Georgia limited liability company (the “Dealer Manager”), as its agent and exclusive distributor during the Subscription Period (as defined below) for the purpose of finding, on a best efforts basis, purchasers for the Shares for cash through such broker-dealers or registered investment advisors that agree with the Dealer Manager to participate in the Offering (individually, a “Financial Intermediary” and collectively, the “Financial Intermediaries”), all of which shall be members of either the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”), or registered as investment advisors with the SEC or state regulatory authorities, as appropriate, as evidenced by the execution of a Financial Intermediary Agreement (the “Financial Intermediary Agreement”) between each Financial Intermediary and the Dealer Manager. The Financial Intermediary Agreements shall include agreements with FINRA registered participating broker-dealers (“Participating Broker-Dealers”) (the “Participating Broker-Dealer Agreements”), as well as Select Registered Investment Advisor Agreements with SEC and/or state registered investment advisors (the “RIA Agreements”). The Dealer Manager may also arrange for the sale of Shares for cash directly to its own clients and customers as well as friends and family members at the offering price and subject to the terms and conditions stated in the Prospectus. The Dealer Manager hereby agrees to use its best efforts to find Financial Intermediaries to offer and sell, or recommend, Shares on said terms and conditions during the Subscription Period (as defined below).

The term “Subscription Period” shall mean that period during which the Shares may be offered for sale, commencing on the date of this Agreement until the Offering is terminated as provided in the Prospectus and this Agreement. Upon termination of the Subscription Period for the Offering, the Dealer Manager’s agency and this Agreement shall terminate without obligation on the part of the Dealer Manager or the Company except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement.

In connection with the sale of Shares, the Company hereby agrees with you, the Dealer Manager, as follows:

Representations and Warranties of the Company.

Covenants of the Company. The Company covenants and agrees with the Dealer Manager that:

3.1.

It will, at no expense to the Dealer Manager, furnish the Dealer Manager with such number of printed copies of its Registration Statement, including all amendments and exhibits thereto, as the Dealer Manager may reasonably request. In connection with the Offering, the Company will similarly furnish to the Dealer Manager and others designated by the Dealer Manager as many copies as the Dealer Manager may reasonably request of:

(a)

the Prospectus in preliminary, if applicable, and final form and every form of supplemental or amended prospectus related to the Offering;

(b)

this Agreement; and

(c)

any printed investor sales literature or broker-dealer and registered investment adviser use only marketing materials (provided that the use of said investor sales literature and broker-dealer and registered investment adviser use only marketing materials have first been approved for use by the Company and all appropriate regulatory agencies).

3.2.

It will furnish such proper information and execute and file such documents as may be necessary for the Company to qualify the Shares for offer and sale under the securities laws of such jurisdictions as the Dealer Manager may reasonably designate and will file and make in each year such statements and reports as may be required. The Company will

furnish to the Dealer Manager upon request a copy of such papers filed by the Company in connection with any such qualification.

3.3.

It will:

(a)

use its best efforts to cause the Registration Statement to remain effective;

(b)

furnish copies of any proposed amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement or Prospectus to the Dealer Manager;

(c)

file every amendment or supplement to the Registration Statement or Prospectus that may be required to be filed by the SEC; and

(d)

if at any time the SEC shall issue any order or take other action to suspend or enjoin the sale of its Shares, promptly notify the Dealer Manager and will use its best efforts to obtain the lifting of such order or to prevent such other action at the earliest possible time.

3.4.

If at any time when a Prospectus is required to be delivered under the Securities Act any event occurs as a result of which, in the opinion of either the Company or the Dealer Manager, the Prospectus would include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in view of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, the Company will promptly notify the Dealer Manager thereof (unless the information shall have been received from the Dealer Manager) and will promptly effect the preparation of an amended or supplemental Prospectus that will correct such statement or omission.

3.5.

It will deliver to the Dealer Manager copies of any reports delivered to the holders of Shares (“Shareholders”) at the time that such reports are furnished to the Shareholders, and such other information concerning the Company as the Dealer Manager may reasonably request from time to time; provided, however, that the Company has no obligation to deliver copies of any reports delivered to Shareholders to the Dealer Manager if such reports are publicly available on the SEC’s Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis, and Retrieval system (“EDGAR”).

3.6.

In order to use electronic signatures, the Company will not condition participation in the Offering on the use of electronic signatures.

3.7.

The Company agrees that it will reasonably cooperate with the Dealer Manager’s due diligence related informational requests that may come up from time to time to help facilitate the Dealer Manager’s compliance with its due diligence obligations, which may include documentation enabling the Dealer Manager to confirm the Company’s uses of capital raised pursuant to the Offering (such requests of which may be made directly by the Dealer Manager or indirectly through outside securities counsel engaged for the specific purpose of conducting due diligence on behalf of the Dealer Manager and other selling group members).

Covenants of the Dealer Manager. The Dealer Manager covenants and agrees with the Company that:

4.1.

In connection with the offer and sale of the Shares of the Company, the Dealer Manager will comply with all requirements imposed upon it by federal regulations applicable to the Offering, the sale of the Shares or its activities pursuant to this Agreement and by all applicable state securities laws and regulations, by applicable rules of FINRA, as from time to time in effect, and by this Agreement.

4.2.

In the event the Dealer Manager facilitates a purchase of the Shares to a potential investor, the Dealer Manager shall have reasonable grounds to believe, on the basis of the information obtained from the potential investor or their financial advisor or professional concerning his or her investment objectives, other investments, financial situation and needs, and any other information known by the Dealer Manager or an associated person, that the prospective investor meets the suitability requirements set forth in the Prospectus and as required by applicable laws and regulations, including Regulation Best Interest and FINRA rules, including, without limitation, the suitability requirements of FINRA Rule 2111; and

The Dealer Manager agrees that it will retain in its records and make available to the Company for a period of at least six (6) years following the termination of the Offering, information disclosing the basis upon which the above determination of suitability was reached as to each investor who purchases Shares directly through the Dealer Manager acting as a Participating Dealer. For the avoidance of doubt, if the Dealer Manager is not directly offering the Shares to a prospective investor in connection with a retail sale by the Dealer Manager, then there is a Financial Intermediary that is offering or recommending the purchase of the Shares, which Financial Intermediary will be governed by its Financial Intermediary Agreement with the Dealer Manager.

4.3.

The Dealer Manager agrees that it will not give any information or make any representations other than those contained in the Prospectus and in any investor sales literature furnished to the Dealer Manager by the Company which have been approved in advance in writing by the Company and appropriate regulatory agencies for use in the Offering (“Authorized Sales Materials”). The Dealer Manager further agrees (a) not to deliver any Authorized Sales Materials to any investor or prospective investor, to any Financial Intermediary that has not entered into a Financial Intermediary Agreement, or to any representatives or other associated persons of such a broker-dealer or registered investment adviser, unless it is accompanied or preceded by the Prospectus as amended and supplemented, (b) not to show or give to any investor or prospective investor or reproduce any material or writing that is supplied to it by the Company and marked “broker-dealer only” or otherwise bearing a legend denoting that it is not to be used in connection with the sale of Shares to members of the public, and (c) not to show or give to any investor or prospective investor in a particular jurisdiction (and will similarly require Financial Intermediaries pursuant to the Financial Intermediary Agreement) any material or writing that is supplied to it by the Company if such material bears a legend denoting that it is not to be used in connection with the sale of Shares to members of the public in such jurisdiction. The Dealer Manager, in its agreements with Participating Broker-Dealers and Registered Investment Advisers, will include requirements and obligations of the Participating Broker-Dealers and Registered Investment Advisers similar to those imposed upon the Dealer Manager pursuant to this section.

4.4.

The Dealer Manager will provide the Company with such information relating to the offer and sale of the Shares by it and the Financial Intermediaries as the Company may from time-to-time reasonably request or as may be requested to enable the Company to prepare

such reports of sale of its Shares as may be required to be filed under applicable securities laws.

4.5.

All engagements of the Financial Intermediaries will be evidenced by a Financial Intermediary Agreement. When Financial Intermediaries are used in this Offering, the Dealer Manager will use its best efforts to cause such Financial Intermediaries to comply with all their respective obligations pursuant to the Financial Intermediary Agreement. The Dealer Manager shall require in its agreements with Financial Intermediaries that in no event will a Financial Intermediary solicit subscriptions for Shares or otherwise offer and sell Shares in the Company’s offering or conduct any related marketing activities until the Financial Intermediary has received written notice from the Company that the Registration Statement has been declared effective by the SEC.

4.6.

The Dealer Manager or the Financial Intermediaries will provide each prospective investor with a copy of the Prospectus and any amendments or supplements thereto during the course of the Offering and prior to the sale of Shares to such investor. The Company may also provide the Dealer Manager with Authorized Sales Materials to be delivered by the Dealer Manager and the Financial Intermediaries to prospective investors in connection with the solicitation of purchasers of the Shares.

4.7.

The Dealer Manager will comply in all material respects with the subscription procedures, and the “Plan of Distribution” section set forth in the Prospectus; provided that any reasonable modification thereto shall be acceptable to the Dealer Manager.

4.8.

The Dealer Manager agrees to be bound by the terms of an escrow agreement related to the Offering among a bank or other provider selected by the Company, as escrow agent (the “Escrow Agent”), the Dealer Manager and the Company, in a form reasonably acceptable to the parties thereto, as such agreement may be amended from time to time (the “Escrow Agreement”).

4.9.

The Dealer Manager shall not execute any transaction in which an investor invests in Shares in a discretionary account without the prior written approval of the transaction by the investor, or the acknowledgement or representation by a financial advisor representing the investor of having the written discretionary authority to conduct the transaction.

4.10.

The Dealer Manager shall promptly notify the Company in writing of any reduction in the number of its wholesaling staff; provided that the failure to provide any such notice promptly shall not of itself constitute a default hereunder.

4.11.

In order to use electronic signatures, the Dealer Manager will:

(a)

The Dealer Manager shall, and shall cause all Financial Intermediaries to, cease closing deals of the Company’s Shares at any time if and when the Company notifies the Dealer Manager in writing to cease making such offerings or closing deals and will not resume until the Company notifies the Dealer Manager in writing that such offerings or closings may resume.

Compensation of Dealer Manager.

5.1.

As compensation for the services rendered under this Agreement by the Dealer Manager, except as may be provided otherwise in its Prospectus, the Company agrees that it will pay to the Dealer Manager a dealer manager fee of 2.5% of the Stated Value for the Shares sold in the Offering (the “Dealer Manager Fee”), a portion of which may be reallowed to Participating Broker-Dealers, as described more fully in the Participating Broker-Dealer Agreement entered into with such Participating Broker-Dealer (as payment of a marketing fee to a Participating Broker-Dealer or otherwise as provided in the Prospectus). Except as may be provided otherwise in the Prospectus, the reallowance, if any, of all or any portion of the Dealer Manager Fee shall be determined by the Dealer Manager in its discretion based on factors including, but not limited to:

(a)

the volume of sales estimated to be made by the Participating Broker-Dealer; or

(b)

the Participating Broker-Dealer’s agreement to provide one or more of the following services:

(i)

providing internal marketing support personnel and marketing communications vehicles to assist the Dealer Manager in our promotion;

(ii)

responding to investors’ inquiries concerning monthly statements, valuations, distribution rates, tax information, annual reports, redemption rights and procedures, our financial status, and the markets in which we have invested;

(iii)

assisting investors with redemptions; or

(iv)

providing other services requested by investors from time to time and maintaining the technology necessary to adequately service investors.

Notwithstanding anything set forth in this Section 5.1, no reallowance for any reason shall increase the Dealer Manager Fee above 2.5% of the Stated Value of Shares sold in the Offering or cause the Company to pay any amount additional to the Dealer Manager Fee.

5.2.

In addition to the compensation described in Section 5.1 above:

(a)

as compensation for the services rendered in the Participating Broker-Dealer Agreements, except as may be provided otherwise in the Prospectus, the Company agrees that it will pay to the Dealer Manager a selling commission of up to 5.5% of the Stated Value of the Shares sold in the Offering.

(b)

Each Participating Broker-Dealer, in its sole discretion, may waive part or all of its selling commissions with respect to a sale of Shares, provided that such Participating Broker-Dealer and its registered representative making the sale have

provided at least five (5) days’ advance written notice to the Company or the Dealer Manager, which party will then have the obligation to notify the other party of such waiver and the details thereof and the selling commission and other compensation otherwise payable by the Company to the Dealer Manager hereunder shall be correspondingly reduced or eliminated.

(c)

No selling commissions or Dealer Manager Fees will be paid in connection with Shares sold to the Company’s management and their family members, employees and their family members and the Company’s affiliates. Any other discounts in which selling commissions and/or Dealer Manager Fees may not be paid in an offering shall be described in the “Plan of Distribution” section of the prospectus.

(d)

The Dealer Manager shall be paid the Dealer Manager Fee, selling commission, and other compensation as earned, until the Offering terminates. All remaining Dealer Manager Fees, selling commissions, and other compensation shall be paid to the Dealer Manager no later than fourteen (14) business days after the Offering terminates.

(e)

The Company reserves the right, in its reasonable discretion, to refuse to accept any or all subscriptions for Shares tendered by the Dealer Manager or the Participating Dealers.

(f)

The Company will not be liable or responsible to any Financial Intermediary for direct payment of commissions or any other compensation to such Financial Intermediary, it being the sole and exclusive responsibility of the Dealer Manager to pay commissions and all other compensation to the Financial Intermediaries.

(g)

In no event shall the total aggregate underwriting compensation payable to the Dealer Manager and any Financial Intermediaries participating in the offering, including but not limited to, selling commissions, the Dealer Manager Fee, non-cash compensation, and other forms of underwriting compensation set forth in the Prospectus exceed eight percent (8%) of the gross offering proceeds from the Offering in the Aggregate.

(h)

In addition to any payments to the Dealer Manager pursuant to this section, the Company shall reimburse the Dealer Manager or any Financial Intermediary for reasonable bona fide due diligence expenses incurred by the Dealer Manager or any Financial Intermediary to the extent permitted pursuant to FINRA rules, which shall be considered underwriting compensation subject to the eight percent cap.

5.3.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in the event that the Company pays any commission or other compensation to the Dealer Manager for the sale by a Financial Intermediary of one or more Shares and the subscription is rescinded as to one or more of the Shares covered by such subscription, the Company shall decrease the next payment of Dealer Manager Fees, selling commissions and other compensation otherwise payable to the Dealer Manager by the Company under this Agreement by an amount equal to the amount of compensation previously paid by the Company to the Dealer Manager with respect to the Shares as to which the subscription is rescinded. In the event that no compensation is due to the Dealer Manager within thirty (30) days after such rescission occurs, the Dealer Manager shall pay the amount specified in the preceding sentence to the Company within ten (10) days following receipt of notice by the Dealer Manager from the Company stating the amount owed as a result of rescinded subscriptions.

5.4.

Conference fees and expenses related to the education and marketing of the Offering must be approved in writing by the Company prior to the incurrence of such expense by the Dealer Manager.

5.5.

The Company, the Dealer Manager, a participating financial intermediary and/or broker dealer may incur other costs and expenses that are considered underwriting compensation (“Other Expenses”) associated with the sale, or the facilitation of the marketing, of the Shares. These expenses may include:

(a)

(b)

(g)

technology fees paid to certain Participating Broker-Dealers so that they can maintain the technology necessary to adequately service the investors to whom they sold the Shares;

(h)

due diligence expenses, provided that only reasonable out-of-pocket due diligence expenses that are detailed on an itemized invoice will be reimbursed to a Participating Broker-Dealer; and

(i)

permissible forms of non-cash compensation to registered representatives of Participating Broker-Dealers, such as logo apparel items and gifts that do not exceed an aggregate value of $300 per annum per registered representative and that are not pre-conditioned on achievement of a sales target (including, but not limited to, seasonal gifts).

Other Expenses are considered underwriting compensation and will be reimbursed by the Company or, if incurred by the Dealer Manager, the corresponding payments of the Dealer Manager Fee may be reduced by the aggregate value of such compensation. However, in no event will all forms of underwriting compensation in this offering exceed 8% of gross offering proceeds.

5.6.

The Company will pay Offering Expenses, which are not considered underwriting compensation under FINRA Rule 5110, directly or by reimbursing the Dealer Manager and/or a Financial Intermediary for Offering Expenses in an amount which, in the aggregate, will not exceed 3.0% of the gross proceeds of the Offering (the “Maximum Offering Expenses”). The Company will not pay or reimburse Offering Expenses in excess of the then applicable Maximum Offering Expenses without advance approval by the Company’s Board. Offering Expenses include the following:

6.3.

With respect to the Offering of the Company’s Shares, each Financial Intermediary will, and the Dealer Manager will cause each Financial Intermediary to, severally indemnify and hold harmless the Company, the Dealer Manager and its directors, and each person, if any, who controls the Company or the Dealer Manager within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act (each, a “Financial Intermediary Indemnified Person”) from and against any Losses to which a Financial Intermediary Indemnified Person may become subject, under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such Losses (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon:

Each such Financial Intermediary will reimburse each Financial Intermediary Indemnified Person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, expense or action. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability that such Financial Intermediary may otherwise have. The Dealer Manager shall, in its agreement with the Financial Intermediaries, cause the Financial Intermediaries to comply with the terms of this Section 6.3.

6.4.

Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 6 of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 6, notify in writing the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof.

The failure of an indemnified party to so notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve the indemnifying party from any liability under this Section 6.

In case any such action is brought against any indemnified party, and it notifies an indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled, to the extent it may wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to participate in the defense thereof, with separate counsel. Such participation shall not relieve such indemnifying party of the obligation to reimburse the indemnified party for reasonable legal and other expenses (subject to Section 6.5) incurred by such indemnified party in defending itself, except for such expenses incurred after the indemnifying party has deposited funds sufficient to effect the settlement, with prejudice, of the claim in respect of which indemnity is sought. Any such indemnifying party shall not be liable to any such indemnified party on account of any settlement of any claim or action effected without the consent of such indemnifying party. Any indemnified party shall not be bound to perform or refrain from performing any act pursuant to the terms of any settlement of any claim or action effected without the consent of such indemnified party.

6.5.

The indemnifying party shall pay all legal fees and expenses of the indemnified party in the defense of such claims or actions; provided, however, that the indemnifying party shall not be obliged to pay legal expenses and fees to more than one law firm in connection with the defense of similar or related claims arising out of the same alleged acts or omissions giving rise to such claims notwithstanding that such actions or claims are alleged or brought by one or more parties against more than one indemnified party. If such claims or actions are alleged or brought against more than one indemnified party, then the indemnifying party shall only be obliged to reimburse the expenses and fees of the one law firm that has been selected by a majority of the indemnified parties against which such action is finally brought; and in the event a majority of such indemnified parties is unable to agree on which law firm for which expenses or fees will be reimbursable by the indemnifying party, then payment shall be made to the first law firm of record representing an indemnified party against the action or claim. Such law firm shall be paid only to the extent of services performed by such law firm and no reimbursement shall be payable to such law firm on account of legal services performed by another law firm.

6.6.

If the indemnity agreements contained in this Section 6 are for any reason unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party in respect of any losses or expenses referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the aggregate amount of such Losses and expenses incurred by such indemnified party, as incurred:

(a)

in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Dealer Manager and/or Financial Intermediary on the other hand from the Offering of the Shares; or

(b)

if the allocation provided by clause (a) is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (a) but also the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and of the Dealer Manager or Financial Intermediary on the other hand in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, expenses or actions, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.

The relative benefits received by the Dealer Manager on the one hand and the Company on the other hand shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds

from sales of Shares received by the Dealer Manager and the Company (after deducting any amounts payable to the Dealer Manager) bear to the total discounts, commissions and other compensation received by the Dealer Manager.

Survival of Provisions.

7.1.

The respective agreements, representations and warranties of the Company and the Dealer Manager set forth in this Agreement shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of:

(a)

any investigation made by or on behalf of the Dealer Manager or any Financial Intermediary or any person controlling the Dealer Manager or any Financial Intermediary or by or on behalf of the Company or any person controlling the Company; and

(b)

the acceptance of any payment for the Shares.

7.2.

The obligations of the Company to pay and/or reimburse the Dealer Manager pursuant to Sections 5.1 through 5.6 of this Agreement, and the provisions of Sections 6 through 10 and Sections 12 and 18 of this Agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

Applicable Law. This Agreement was executed and delivered in, and its validity, interpretation and construction shall be governed by, the laws of the State of Delaware. Any legal action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement shall be brought in the state or federal courts of the State of Delaware. The party that is unsuccessful in any legal action or proceeding shall bear all legal fees and related out-of-pocket expenses of the prevailing party.

Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts. Each counterpart, when executed and delivered, shall be an original contract, but all counterparts, when taken together, shall constitute one and the same Agreement. A facsimile or .pdf signature, including signatures made and/or transmitted using electronic signature technology (e.g., via DocuSign or similar electronic signature technology), shall constitute an original signature for all purposes.

10.

Successors and Amendment.

Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Dealer Manager and the Company and their respective successors and assigns.

Any party to this Agreement shall have the right to terminate this Agreement, except as otherwise provided in Section 7 above, upon notice to the other party in the event that such other party shall have materially failed to comply with any of the material provisions of this Agreement to be performed on its part or any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements of such other party herein contained shall not have been materially complied with or satisfied within the times specified and such noncompliance is not cured within thirty (30) days upon receipt of notice.

(b)

the Company shall pay to the Dealer Manager all commissions, fees and other compensation to which the Dealer Manager is or becomes entitled under Section 5 of this Agreement at such time or times as such commissions, fees and other compensation would otherwise have become payable under Section 5 of this Agreement.

The Dealer Manager will offer Shares, and in its agreement with each Financial Intermediary will require that the Financial Intermediaries offer or recommend Shares, only to persons that it has reasonable grounds to believe meet the financial qualifications set forth in the Prospectus or in any suitability letter or memorandum sent to it by the Company and will only make offers to persons in the states in which it is advised in writing by the Company that the Shares are qualified for sale or that such qualification is not required.

shall agree with respect to investors to whom it makes such recommendations, that it has a reasonable basis to believe such recommendation is suitable for the customer. The Dealer Manager agrees as to investors to whom it makes a recommendation with respect to the purchase of the Shares in the Offering (and each Financial Intermediary in its Financial Intermediary Agreement shall agree, with respect to investors to whom it makes such recommendations) that it will rely on relevant information provided by the investor, including information as to the investor’s age, investment objectives, investment experience, investment time horizon, income, net worth, financial situation and needs, tax status, other investments, liquidity needs, risk tolerance and other pertinent information.

designated or blocked, associated or involved in terrorism, or subject to restrictions under laws, regulations, or executive orders as may apply in the future similar to those set forth above.

15.

Submission of Orders.

15.1.

The Company will sell Shares using two closing services provided by The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”). The first service is DTC closing (“DTC Settlement”), and the second service is Direct Registration Service (“DRS Settlement”). A sale of a Share shall be deemed by the Company to be completed if and only if (i) the Company has received payment of the full purchase price of each purchased Share, from an investor who satisfies the minimum purchase requirements set forth in the Prospectus as determined by the Financial Intermediary, or the Dealer Manager, as applicable, in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, (ii) the Company has accepted such subscription, and, if using DRS Settlement, a properly completed and executed subscription agreement, and (iii) the Company has instructed the issuance of purchased Shares. In addition, no sale of Shares shall be completed until after the date on which the subscriber receives a copy of the Prospectus. The Dealer Manager hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Company, in its sole and absolute discretion, may accept or reject any subscription, in whole or in part, for any reason whatsoever or no reason, and no commission or Dealer Manager Fee will be paid to the Dealer Manager with respect to that portion of any subscription which is rejected. Further, the Company has the sole right, which it may delegate to the Dealer Manager, to determine and change without notice to the Dealer Manager or Financial Intermediary: (i) the number and timing of closings, including the ability to change the number and timing of closings after communicating the anticipated closing to the Financial Intermediary; (ii) to limit the total amount of Shares sold or recommended by all Financial Intermediaries per closing; and (iii) to limit the total number of Shares sold or recommended by the Financial Intermediary.

15.2.

Subscriptions using DRS Settlement will be submitted by the Dealer Manager and each Financial Intermediary to the Company only on the subscription agreement, a form of

which has been filed with the SEC by the Company. The Dealer Manager understands and acknowledges, and each Financial Intermediary shall acknowledge if using DRS Settlement, that the subscription agreement must be executed and initialed by the subscriber as provided for by the subscription agreement.

15.3.

Those persons who purchase the Shares using DRS Settlement will be instructed by the Dealer Manager or the Financial Intermediary to make their checks payable as provided in the Prospectus and subscription agreement for the Offering of Shares in the Company. The Dealer Manager and any Financial Intermediary receiving a check that does not conform to the instructions in the Prospectus and subscription agreement shall promptly return such check directly to such subscriber. Checks received by the Dealer Manager or Financial Intermediary which conform to the instructions in the Prospectus and subscription agreement shall be transmitted for deposit pursuant to one of the methods described in this Section 15.

15.4.

In connection with DRS Settlement, if the Financial Intermediary conducts its internal supervisory review procedures at the same location at which subscription documents and checks are initially received by the Financial Intermediary from subscribers, then:

(a)

by the end of the next business day following receipt by the Financial Intermediary, the Financial Intermediary will transmit the subscription documents including the subscription agreements, executed and initialed by the subscriber as provided for in the Prospectus, and the checks to the Dealer Manager or directly to the Escrow Agent; and

(b)

15.5.

If pursuant to the Financial Intermediary’s internal supervisory procedures, the Financial Intermediary conducts its final internal supervisory review procedures at a different location (the “Final Review Office”) then:

(a)

the subscription documents, including the subscription agreements, executed and initialed by the subscriber as provided for in the Prospectus, and checks will be transmitted by the Financial Intermediary to the Final Review Office by the end of the next business day following receipt by the Financial Intermediary;

(b)

the Final Review Office will in turn by the end of the next business day following their receipt by the Final Review Office, transmit the subscription documents, including the subscription agreements, executed and initialed by the subscriber as provided for in the Prospectus, and the checks to the Dealer Manager or directly to the Escrow Agent; and

(c)

by the end of the next business day following the Dealer Manager’s receipt of the subscription documents and checks, if the checks did not go directly to the Escrow Agent, the Dealer Manager will transmit the checks and copies of the executed subscription agreements to the Escrow Agent, and copies of the checks and the original subscription documents, including the subscription agreements, executed and initialed by the subscriber as provided for in the Prospectus, to the Company.

15.6.

Checks and the original subscription agreements of rejected potential investors will be promptly returned to such rejected investors within ten (10) business days from the date of rejection.

16.

Severability. If any portion of this Agreement shall be held invalid or inoperative, then so far as is reasonable and possible the remainder of this Agreement shall be considered valid and operative and effect shall be given the intent manifested by the portion held invalid or inoperative.

17.

Modification or Amendment. This Agreement may not be modified or amended except by written agreement executed by the parties hereto.

18.

Notices. All notices or other communications required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed given or delivered:

when delivered personally or by commercial messenger;

(b)

one business day following deposit with a recognized overnight courier service, provided such deposit occurs prior to the deadline imposed by such service for overnight delivery;

20.

No Partnership.

21.

Exhibit 3.1

CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATIONS OF PREFERRED STOCK OF

WHITEHAWK MINERALS CORP.

WhiteHawk Minerals Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), hereby certifies that, pursuant to the provisions of Sections 103, 141 and 151 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, on September 15, 2026, the board of directors of the Company (the “Board”) adopted the resolution shown immediately below, which resolution is now, and at all times since its date of adoption has been in full force and effect:

RESOLVED, that pursuant to the provisions of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Company (as such may be amended, modified or restated from time to time, the “Amended and Restated Charter”), which authorizes 400,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Preferred Stock”), and the authority thereby vested in the Board, a series of Preferred Stock be, and it is hereby, created, and that the designation and number of shares of such series, and the voting and other powers, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other rights, and the qualifications, limitations and restrictions thereof are as set forth in the Amended and Restated Charter and this Certificate of Designations, as it may be amended from time to time (the “Certificate of Designations”) as follows:

SECTION 1. Designation and Number of Shares. Pursuant to the Amended and Restated Charter, there is hereby created out of the authorized and unissued shares of Preferred Stock a series of Preferred Stock consisting of 100,000 shares of Preferred Stock designated as “Series F Preferred Stock” (the “Series F Preferred Stock”). To the extent not prohibited by the Amended and Restated Charter, the provisions hereof or other provisions of applicable law, such number of shares may be increased or decreased by resolution of the Board; provided, however, that no decrease shall reduce the number of shares of Series F Preferred Stock to less than the number of shares of Series F Preferred Stock then outstanding. Shares of the Series F Preferred Stock that are redeemed, purchased or otherwise acquired by the Company shall be cancelled, and shall revert to authorized but unissued shares of Preferred Stock undesignated as to series and subject to later issuance.

SECTION 2. Rank. The Series F Preferred Stock shall, as to the payment of dividends and the distribution of assets upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary, rank (i) senior to each class or series of the Company’s Common Stock par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”) and any other class or series of capital stock of the Company, if the holders of Series F Preferred Stock are entitled to the receipt of dividends or of amounts distributable upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up in preference or priority to the holders of shares of such class or series (such securities collectively referred to herein as the “Junior Securities”); (ii) on parity with the Company’s Series B Preferred Stock, in proportion to their respective amounts of accrued and unpaid dividends per share or liquidation preference; (iii) on parity with other classes or series of equity securities issued in the future, if, pursuant to the specific terms of such class or series of equity securities, the holders of such class or series of equity securities and the holders of the Series F Preferred Stock are entitled to the receipt of dividends and of amounts distributable upon liquidation, dissolution, or winding up in proportion to their respective amounts of accrued and unpaid dividends per share or liquidation preferences, without preference or priority of one over the other; (iv) junior to the Series E Preferred Stock and to any other class or series of the Company’s equity securities if, pursuant to the specific terms of such class or series, the holders of such class or series are entitled to the receipt of dividends or amounts distributable upon liquidation, dissolution, or winding up in preference or priority to the holders of the Series F Preferred Stock; and (v) junior to all our existing and future debt indebtedness.

SECTION 3. Uncertificated Shares. The shares of Series F Preferred Stock shall be in uncertificated, book-entry form as permitted by the bylaws of the Company and the Delaware General Corporation Law.

SECTION 4. Voting.

(a)

Except as set forth in this Certificate of Designations, the holders of the Series F Preferred Stock shall have no voting rights, and shall not be entitled to any vote with respect to shares of Series F Preferred Stock held of record by a Holder on any matters on which any of the Company’s stockholders are entitled to vote, except as set forth in this Certificate of Designations or as required by law.

(b)

Any listing of the Series F Preferred Stock shall require the approval of the holders of the Series F Preferred Stock. This is the only voting right held by the holders of the Series F Preferred Stock. The vote required to approve such a proposal for listing is a majority of the votes cast by the holders of Series F Preferred Stock, voting on such proposal at a meeting where a quorum of Series F Preferred Stock is present. For purposes of voting on any such proposal to list the Series F Preferred Stock, the quorum required for voting on such proposal is 33 1/3% of the outstanding Series F Preferred Stock entitled to vote on such proposal, unless the Board by resolution establishes a higher quorum. A favorable vote on any such proposal shall be non-binding and the Board shall retain sole discretion as to whether to complete such listing

SECTION 5. Dividends.

(a)

Dividends on each share of Series F Preferred Stock shall (i) accrue on a monthly basis at the Dividend Rate from and including the date of issuance, whether or not the Company has assets legally available to make payment thereof and (ii) are intended to be paid monthly in arrears, out of legally available funds, on each Dividend Payment Date. Dividends shall accumulate from the most recent date through which dividends shall have been paid, or, if no dividends have been paid, from the date of issuance. Dividends will be payable on Board approval.

(b)

Unless full cumulative dividends on the shares of Series F Preferred Stock for all past dividend periods have been paid (or set apart for payment), the Company will not declare or pay dividends with respect to any shares of our Class A Common Stock or any other stock ranking junior to the Series F Preferred Stock for any period.

(c)

Prior to declaring any dividend with respect to shares of any class or series of capital stock of the Company in accordance with this Section 5, the Company shall take any and all prior corporate action necessary to authorize any corporate action in respect of the Series F Preferred Stock required under this Certificate of Designations.

SECTION 6. Redemption.

(a)

Subject to compliance with the provisions of applicable law, the Company shall have the right, but not the obligation, to redeem the Series F Preferred Stock, in whole or in part, on or after the first anniversary of the original issuance date of the applicable shares upon not more than ninety (90) calendar days’ prior written notice to the Holders, at a redemption price equal to the Stated Value of the shares being redeemed plus all accrued and unpaid dividends thereon.

(b)

For the avoidance of doubt, all rights with respect to shares of Series F Preferred Stock redeemed pursuant to this Section 6 and the Company’s obligation to pay dividends with respect thereto shall terminate upon payment in full of the redemption price described in Section 6(a).

(c)

Subject to the terms hereof, at any time prior to the listing of the Series F Preferred Stock on a national securities exchange, each Holder shall have the right to Holder Optional Redemption at any time, subject to the Holder Optional Redemption Fee set forth in Section 6(f) below.

(d)

A Holder may elect to exercise a Holder Optional Redemption at any time by delivering a Holder Redemption Notice. A Holder Redemption Notice shall be effective as of the Holder Redemption Deadline. For all shares of Series F Preferred Stock duly submitted for redemption on or before a Holder Redemption Deadline, the Company, in its sole discretion, shall determine the Settlement Amount on the Holder Redemption Exercise Date. The Company may, in its sole discretion, permit a Holder to revoke a Holder Redemption Notice at any time prior to 5:00 p.m., Eastern time, on the Business Day immediately preceding the Holder Redemption Exercise Date.

(e)

The Company may satisfy all or any portion of any Holder Optional Redemption in cash, in shares of Class A Common Stock, or any combination thereof, in each case subject to applicable law and the limitations set forth in this Section 6(e):

(i)

The Company shall settle any Holder Optional Redemption it determines to redeem in cash by paying the Holder the Settlement Amount.

(ii)

The Company shall settle any Holder Optional Redemption it determines to redeem with Class A Common Stock, subject to the Redemption Share Cap, by delivering to such Holder a number of shares of Class A Common Stock equal to (A) the Settlement Amount, divided by (B) the volume weighted average price per share of the Class A Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) for the ten (10) consecutive trading days ending on (but not including) the Holder Redemption Exercise Date.

(iii)

If required by Section 312.03(c) of the NYSE Listed Company Manual, the aggregate number of shares of Class A Common Stock issuable to holders of Series F Preferred Stock for dividends and redemption shall not exceed the Redemption Share Cap, unless approval of the Company’s stockholders is obtained to exceed the Redemption Share Cap.

(iv)

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may not satisfy any Holder Optional Redemption through the issuance of Class A Common Stock prior to the first anniversary of the original issuance date of the shares being redeemed.

(f)

A share of Series F Preferred Stock that is subject to a Holder Optional Redemption shall be subject to Holder Optional Redemption Fee if redeemed by its Holder within three (3) years of its original issuance date.

(g)

Subject to the restrictions of this Section 6(g), beginning on the date of original issuance of the applicable shares and ending upon the listing of the Series F Preferred Stock on a national securities exchange, the Company shall redeem shares of Series F Preferred Stock held by a beneficial owner who is a natural person (including a natural person who holds shares of Series F Preferred Stock through an Individual Retirement Account or in a personal or estate planning trust) upon his or her death, at the written request of the beneficial owner’s estate (the date on which such written request is duly received by the Company, the “Optional Redemption Following Death of a Holder Notice Date”), at a redemption price equal to the Settlement Amount without application of the Holder Optional Redemption Fee. In the Company’s sole and absolute discretion, the Company may determine to fulfill such redemption in either cash or with fully paid and non-assessable shares of Class A Common Stock, subject to the Redemption Share Cap, if applicable, with any stock settlement calculated by delivering to the estate a number of shares of Class A Common Stock equal to (A) the Settlement Amount (without application of the Holder Optional Redemption Fee), divided by (B) the volume weighted average price per share of the Class A Common Stock on NYSE for the ten (10) consecutive trading days ending on (but not including) the Optional Redemption Following Death of a Holder Notice Date.

(h)

In the Company’s sole and absolute discretion, the Company may determine to fulfill a Company Optional Redemption in either cash or with fully paid and non-assessable shares of Class A Common Stock, subject to the Redemption Share Cap, if applicable. Any Company Optional Redemption settled in Class A Common Stock shall be calculated by delivering to the applicable Holder a number of shares of Class A Common Stock equal to (A) the Settlement Amount, divided by (B) the closing price per share of the Class A Common Stock on NYSE (or such other national securities exchange on which the Class A Common Stock is then listed) on the last trading day prior to the Company Optional Redemption Notice Exercise Date (as defined below). If the Company exercises the Company Optional Redemption for less than all of the outstanding shares of Series F Preferred Stock, then shares of Series F Preferred Stock shall be selected for redemption on a pro rata basis or by lot across Holders of the Series F Preferred Stock selected for redemption.

(i)

The Company intends to rely on the exemption provided by Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, for the issuance of any shares of Class A Common Stock for which the Series F Preferred Stock may be redeemed.

SECTION 7. Shares to be Retired. All shares of Series F Preferred Stock redeemed by the Company in accordance with Section 6 shall be retired and cancelled and shall be restored to the status of authorized but unissued shares of Preferred Stock, without designation as to series.

SECTION 8. Liquidation, Dissolution or Winding Up of the Company. In the event of a voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, holders of the Series F Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive, prior and in preference to any distribution to holders of Junior Securities, an amount equal to the Stated Value of the shares held by such Holder plus all accrued and unpaid dividends thereon.

SECTION 9. Severability. In the event any provision of these terms for the Series F Preferred Stock is for any reason held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision hereof, and these terms for the Series F Preferred Stock shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein.

SECTION 10. Miscellaneous.

(a)

Transfers of Series F Preferred Stock held in uncertificated, book-entry form shall be made only upon the transfer books of the Company kept at an office of the transfer agent upon receipt of proper transfer instructions from the registered owner of such uncertificated shares, or from a duly authorized attorney or from an individual presenting proper evidence of succession, assignment or authority to transfer the stock. The Company may refuse any requested transfer until furnished evidence satisfactory to it that such transfer is proper.

(b)

Notice to any Holder shall be given to the registered address set forth in the Company’s records for such Holder.

(d)

With respect to any notice to a Holder required to be provided hereunder, neither failure to send such notice, nor any defect therein or in the sending thereof, to any particular Holder shall affect the sufficiency of the notice or the validity of the proceedings referred to in such notice with respect to the other Holders or affect the legality or validity of any vote upon any such action (assuming due and proper notice to such other Holders). Any notice which was sent in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given whether or not the Holder actually receives the notice.

(e)

Any payments required to be made hereunder on any day that is not a Business Day shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day without interest or additional payment for such delay.

THIS SERVICES AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of October 6, 2026 (the “Effective Date”), by and between Preferred Shareholder Services, LLC (“PSS”), a Delaware limited liability company, and WhiteHawk Minerals Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Company” or the “Issuer” and together with PSS the “Parties”).

WHEREAS, The Issuer is launching an offering for shares of its Series F Redeemable Preferred Stock (“Shares”) (the "Offering"), to be offered and sold on the terms and conditions set forth in the Company’s registration statement on Form S-1 and prospectus that will be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), as the same may be amended or supplemented (the “Registration Statement”);

WHEREAS, the Issuer desires to retain PSS to act as its agent to procure or otherwise deliver certain services for the benefit of the Issuer in connection with the Offering, as set forth herein, and PSS is willing and desires to accept such retention, all upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, it is agreed between PSS and the Issuer (collectively, the “Parties”), as follows:

Appointment and Third-Party Agreements

Agency. Pursuant to and in accordance with the terms and conditions herein set forth, the Issuer hereby retains and appoints PSS as its agent for purposes of assisting and procuring for the benefit of the Issuer any and all agreements ancillary to or required for completion of the services set forth in Exhibit A attached hereto, as amended from time to time (collectively, the “Services”).

Acceptance. PSS hereby accepts the appointment hereunder as agent of the Issuer and agrees to assist in procuring or otherwise delivering the Services in accordance with the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth.

Services and Terms

PSS shall procure or otherwise deliver the Services for Shares, pursuant to the Issuer’s established policies and procedures applicable to such Services as timely provided in writing by the Issuer to PSS. The Parties understand and acknowledge that PSS will not and is not required to perform all of the Services at all times.

PSS shall facilitate the negotiation and coordinate the execution of the Agreements as set forth above.

PSS shall determine the levels and priorities applicable to the Services and related actions taken in connection with Shares but shall, in all cases, procure or otherwise deliver the Services within a commercially reasonable time as applicable. In this regard, PSS shall not be required to perform all of the Services set forth on Exhibit A at all times, and PSS may determine that some Services are not to be performed during the term of this Agreement. Further, in no event

will PSS perform distribution-related services under this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, the Services shall not include any services that constitute or are deemed:

transfer agent services or that would otherwise require PSS to register as a transfer agent under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”);

broker-dealer services or that would otherwise require PSS to register as a broker-dealer under the Exchange Act, including but not limited to investment banking services; or

investment advisory services or that would otherwise require PSS to register under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 and/or corresponding state securities laws.

In the event an investor, broker-dealer, registered investment adviser who is registered under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 or under applicable state securities laws, or licensed financial advisor contacts PSS regarding any of the issues set forth in Exhibit B attached hereto, PSS shall refer such investor, broker-dealer, or financial advisor to another party in accordance with written instructions of the Issuer.

It is intended that PSS be deemed an independent service provider and that no employment relationship shall be created between the Issuer, on the one hand, and PSS or PSS’s employees, agents, or subcontractors, on the other hand.

Nothing in this Agreement shall in any way be deemed to restrict the right of PSS to perform services for any other person or entity, and the performance of such services for others shall not be deemed to violate or give rise to any duty or obligation to the Issuer or any other person or entity not specifically undertaken by PSS hereunder.

The Issuer agrees to use reasonable efforts to provide PSS (1) advance written notice in the event that there are any changes to the Issuer’s governing documents or business practices or the Offering that would have an impact on the Services procured or delivered pursuant to this Agreement, including, but not limited to, changes to the Issuer’s dividend reinvestment plan, commissions and fees (including discounts) paid on sales of shares, share price, investor suitability standards, the states where shares are offered, distribution rates or record dates and payable dates, introduction of new securities offerings, and changes in business practices pertaining to certification of shares, book entry, electronic delivery of information to shareholders; and (2) prompt notice of the Issuer’s filing of a registration statement or any other form with the SEC, and any amendments thereto, that could materially affect the Services procured or delivered by PSS pursuant to this Agreement.

Within the sixty (60)-day period after the Effective Date, the Parties shall confer, diligently and in good faith, to agree upon (1) the operational service level standards that shall be measured under this Agreement, if any, and (2) the ongoing reports to the Issuer to be provided under this Agreement, if any, and/or as they arise.

Compensation and Payments

The Service Fees

The Issuer agrees to pay to PSS, and PSS agrees to accept as full compensation for all Services rendered by PSS as described on Exhibit A hereunder, fees in accordance with the Service Fee Schedule attached as Exhibit C (“Service Fees”). The Parties agree that the Service Fees to be paid as set forth in Exhibit C are competitive rates in the industry. The Issuer agrees to timely pay any and all fees due under this Agreement as set forth in Section 3.D, below.

Close Out Services

In order to facilitate the additional incremental data transfer, communications, and recordkeeping necessary to implement an efficient closing of the Offering for all Parties, for the final six months prior to the scheduled closing of the Offerings, PSS will provide those specific services to accommodate this transition (the “Close Out Services”). The additional fee for the Close Out Services is provided in Exhibit C.

Subsequent Pricing

At least sixty (60) days before the expiration of the initial term of this Agreement or a Renewal Term as defined in Section 7 hereof, PSS and the Issuer agree to evaluate the need for an updated Exhibit C fee schedule for the upcoming Renewal Term, and if it is determined a new schedule is needed, the parties agree to negotiate in good faith. Changes to the fee schedule in Exhibit C shall be effective upon written approval and an amendment to Exhibit C, setting forth the new fee schedule, shall be attached as Amended Exhibit C to this Agreement.

In the event the Parties fail to agree upon a new fee schedule as of such date and neither Party exercises its right to terminate by such date, an automatic pricing update to the Service Fee shall take effect based on the following calculation: The Service Fee shall be adjusted at a minimum to an amount equal to the current Service Fee paid for the Services increased by the percentage increase for the twelve-month period of the previous calendar year of the CPI-W (defined below), or, in the event that publication of such index is terminated, any successor or substitute index, appropriately adjusted, reasonably acceptable to the Parties. As used herein, “CPI-W” shall mean the Consumer Price Index for Urban Wage Earners and Clerical Workers for Boston-Brockton-Nashua, MA-NH-ME-CT, (Base Period: 1982-84 = 100), as published by the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Payment Schedule

All amounts due and payable under this Agreement, including all Exhibits thereto, shall be due and payable to PSS by the Issuer within thirty (30) calendar days of request for payment or reimbursement by PSS, except for any fees or expenses that are subject to good faith dispute. In the event of such a dispute, only that portion of the fee or expense subject to the good faith dispute may be withheld. The Issuer shall notify PSS in writing within thirty (30) calendar days following the receipt of each invoice if the Issuer is disputing any amounts in good faith together with a statement specifying the portion of fees or expenses being withheld and a reasonably detailed explanation of the reasons for withholding such fees or expenses. If the Issuer does not provide such notice of dispute within the required time, the invoice will be deemed accepted. Whenever

the Issuer withholds payment of a disputed portion of any invoice, the Parties will negotiate expeditiously and in good faith to resolve any such disputes within thirty (30) calendar days of the original notice of dispute. The Issuer shall settle such disputed amounts within ten (10) calendar days of the day on which the Parties agree on the amount to be paid by the payment of the agreed amount. If no agreement is reached, such disputed amounts shall be settled as may be required by law or legal process.

Additional Services

From time to time, the Issuer may request that PSS provide services to it beyond those Services contemplated in this Agreement (“Additional Services”). If PSS, in its sole discretion, determines that contemplated Additional Services may require employees of PSS to spend in excess of 20 work hours dedicated to such Additional Services, PSS and the Issuer shall negotiate a separate statement of work and fee schedule regarding such Additional Services. For the avoidance of doubt, the Additional Services shall not include any services that constitute or are deemed:

transfer agent services or that would otherwise require PSS to register as a transfer agent under the Exchange Act;

broker-dealer services or that would otherwise require PSS to register as a broker-dealer under the Exchange Act, including but not limited to investment banking services; or

investment advisory services or that would otherwise require PSS to register under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 and/or corresponding state securities laws.

Confidentiality of Records

As used herein, “Issuer Data” means all information and facts owned by the Issuer or collected on behalf of the Issuer, including, without limitation, any technical, business, or investor information of any kind or in any form, format or medium (including, without limitation, all interrelated, unique data items or records in one or more computer files). PSS shall keep confidential any Issuer Data it receives, maintains, processes, or otherwise accesses while providing the Services contemplated herein and will use such Issuer Data solely for performing its obligations under this Agreement. PSS will not release Issuer Data except as otherwise provided for in this Section 4 or with the written consent of the Issuer. Notwithstanding the above, PSS may release Issuer Data to its nominees, subcontractors, or third-party service providers, including providers under the Computershare or other servicing agreements (the “Third Parties”), provided that each such Third-Party shall be required by PSS to agree to comply with the terms of confidentiality in this Agreement or other substantially similar terms.

The Issuer will provide PSS with such information as PSS may reasonably require in order to comply with its duties under this Agreement. PSS will maintain such reports and records as the Issuer may reasonably require and for such length of time as required by applicable laws, rules, and regulations, and as set forth by the Issuer’s record retention policies, but at least as long as required by the record retention policy of PSS.

To the extent PSS is in possession of books and records required to be maintained by the Issuer, PSS agrees to deliver such books and records in its possession, if any, to the Issuer, upon the Issuer’s demand, at the Issuer’s expense.

All records, data files, material, reports, and other data provided by the Issuer to PSS pursuant to this Agreement are the property of the Issuer, are confidential and will be delivered to the Issuer upon the Issuer’s demand at the Issuer’s expense. PSS’s record retention policies and practices are subject to inspection by the Chief Compliance Officer of the Issuer or the Issuer’s Secretary.

Both PSS and the Issuer shall have in place reasonable privacy and confidentiality policies and/or procedures in order to comply with all applicable privacy laws, rules, and regulations and to safeguard all Issuer Data. Such policies and/or procedures shall be available for review by either PSS or the Issuer upon request to the other party. Additionally, PSS shall use its best efforts to require that all Third Parties have in place appropriate physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards that comply with all applicable privacy laws, rules and regulations.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, PSS may disclose this Agreement and any amendments, terminations, and renewals thereof upon the advice of counsel or as may be required by applicable laws, rules, and regulations. Additionally, the Issuer may disclose this Agreement and any amendments, terminations, and renewals thereof to third-party due diligence firms and their broker-dealer clients as the Issuer deems appropriate to facilitate the review of the Issuer’s offerings in connection with the sale thereof or upon the advice of counsel or as may be required by applicable laws, rules, and regulations.

PSS is authorized to disclose information concerning Issuer Data to its affiliates and to Third-Parties as may be necessary solely in connection with the administration of or performance of this Agreement as set forth herein, to PSS’s internal and external auditors, accountants and counsel, and to any other person or entity when so advised by counsel where PSS may incur liability for failing to do so, including as may be required under applicable laws, rules and regulations or based upon requests by regulators or other government agencies.

Except for the agreement to exert reasonable efforts to attempt to correct failures of any Third-Party to operate in material compliance with the operational and confidentiality requirements provided herein and in their respective service agreements, PSS makes no warranty that errors or failures will not occur or that they may be resolved. Except as expressly stated herein or for an incident arising from PSS’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, PSS expressly disclaims responsibility for breaches of confidentiality or for loss of confidential data and Issuer Data by third parties.

Limitation of Liability; Indemnification

Limitation of Liability

PSS shall not be liable for any Losses (as defined in Section 5.B.1.) or action taken or omitted or for any loss or injury resulting from PSS’s (including, but not limited to, its agents, nominees and/or subcontractors) or third-party service providers’ performance or failure to perform their respective duties hereunder in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on their respective parts. In no event shall PSS be liable to the Issuer or any other person or entity

(i) for acting in accordance with the Issuer’s instructions or instructions from any entity or individual reasonably believed by PSS to be an agent of the Issuer; (ii) for special, consequential or punitive damages; (iii) for the acts or omissions of its correspondents, designees, agents, subagents; (iv) any Losses (as defined in Section 5.B.1.) due to forces beyond the reasonable control of PSS, including without limitation, strikes, work stoppages, acts of war or terrorism, insurrection, revolution, nuclear or natural catastrophes or acts of God, and interruptions, loss or malfunctions of utilities, communications or computer (software or hardware) services; or (v) for any violation or alleged violation of any federal securities law or any “blue sky” or state securities law. With respect to any Losses (as defined in Section 5.B.1.) incurred as a result of the acts or the failure to act by any correspondents, designees, agents, sub-agents, contractors or subcontractors, PSS shall take appropriate action, as determined by PSS in its sole discretion, to recover such Losses from such correspondents, designees, agents, sub-agents, contractors or subcontractors, and PSS’s sole responsibility and liability to the Issuer shall be limited to such amounts, if any, recovered from the same less any costs and expenses incurred by PSS in any such recovery efforts. With respect to any and all Losses howsoever arising from or in connection with this Agreement or the performance of PSS’s (or its nominees’, subcontractors’ or third-party service providers’) duties hereunder, the enforcement of this Agreement and disputes between the Parties hereto or otherwise related to PSS’s performance hereunder, PSS’s sole responsibility and aggregate liability to the Issuer shall not exceed the amount of fees paid by the Issuer to PSS (exclusive of costs and expenses incurred by PSS) pursuant to Section 3 of this Agreement.

Notwithstanding any provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, PSS shall be under no duty or obligation to inquire into, and shall not be liable for:

the legality of the issue, purchase, sale or transfer of any securities, the sufficiency of the amount to be paid or received in connection therewith, or the authority of the Issuer to request such issuance, purchase, sale or transfer;

ii.

the legality of the declaration of any dividend by the Issuer, or the legality of the issue of any securities in payment of any stock dividend;

iii.

the legality of any recapitalization or readjustment of the securities; or

iv.

the legality or accuracy of any tax reporting, withholding or cost basis reporting.

Third-Party Information

PSS shall have no responsibility for the accuracy of any information that has been provided by or obtained from third parties.

Trustee or Fiduciary

Nothing contained herein shall cause PSS to be deemed a trustee or fiduciary for or on behalf of the Issuer, any investor, or any other person or entity. The Services delivered by PSS hereunder are in addition to the services provided by PSS under any other agreements, if applicable, between the Parties.

Indemnification

The Issuer agrees, to the extent permitted by applicable federal and state law (including, but not limited to, federal and state securities law) to indemnify, defend and hold harmless PSS, and when appropriate, its agents, nominees and subcontractors, and their respective officers, directors, partners, employees, associated persons, agents and control persons against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses, including reasonable legal (including attorneys’ fees), and other expenses (collectively referred to herein as “Losses”) incurred in investigating or defending such claims or liabilities, joint or several, whether or not resulting in any liability to such persons, to which they or any of them may become subject, insofar as such Losses (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon this Agreement or the performance of their duties hereunder, the enforcement of this Agreement and disputes between the Parties hereto or otherwise related to PSS’s performance hereunder. Provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall require that PSS (or its agents, nominees and sub-contractors) be indemnified for direct money damages to the extent they are caused by its gross negligence or willful misconduct. Nothing contained herein shall limit or in any way impair the right of PSS to indemnification under any other provision of this Agreement. For purposes of this Section 5.B, “control persons” with respect to an entity, means those persons who possess, directly or indirectly, the power to direct or cause the direction of the management or policies of such entity, whether through the ownership of voting securities, by contract, or otherwise.

PSS agrees, to the extent permitted by applicable federal and state law (including, but not limited to, federal and state securities law) to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Issuer, and its officers, directors, partners, employees, associated persons, agents and control persons, from and against any and all Losses incurred in investigating or defending such claims or liabilities, joint or several, whether or not resulting in any liability to such persons, to which they or any of them may become subject, insofar as such Losses (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon this Agreement or the performance of their duties hereunder, the enforcement of this Agreement and disputes between the Parties hereto or otherwise related to the Issuer’s performance hereunder. Provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall require that the Issuer (or its agents, nominees, and sub-contractors) be indemnified for direct money damages to the extent they are caused by its gross negligence or willful misconduct. Nothing contained herein shall limit or in any way impair the right of the Issuer to indemnification under any other provision of this Agreement.

The Parties agree that PSS may assign to the Issuer, at the Issuer’s request, any and all rights of subrogation PSS may have against any third-party vendors, correspondents, agents, sub-agents, contractors, sub-contractors, or consultants and in full satisfaction of any obligation of indemnity PSS may have to the Issuer under this Agreement.

Any indemnified party entitled to contribution or indemnification will, promptly after receipt of such notice of commencement of any action, suit, proceeding or claim against him or it in respect of which a claim for contribution or indemnification may be made against another indemnifying party or indemnifying parties, notify such other indemnifying party or indemnifying parties. Failure to so notify such other indemnifying party or indemnifying parties shall not relieve such other indemnifying party or indemnifying parties from any other obligation it or they may have hereunder or otherwise, unless the indemnifying party has been materially prejudiced in its ability to defend the action as a result of such delay. If such other indemnifying party or indemnifying parties are so notified, such other indemnifying party or indemnifying parties shall be entitled to participate in the defense of such action, suit, proceeding or claim at its or their own

expense or in accordance with arrangements satisfactory to all parties who may be required to contribute. After notice from such other indemnifying party or indemnifying parties to the indemnified party entitled to contribution or indemnification of its or their acknowledgement of its or their obligations hereunder and its or their election to assume its or their own defense, the indemnifying party or indemnifying parties so electing shall not be liable for any legal or other expenses of litigation subsequently incurred by the indemnified party entitled to indemnification or contribution in connection with the defense thereof, other than the reasonable costs of investigation. No party shall be required to contribute or provide indemnification with respect to the settlement amount of any action or claim settled without its consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld.

Notwithstanding the above, the Agreement may otherwise be terminated earlier as follows:

By either Party, after having given the other Party at least sixty (60) calendar days’ advance written notice of its intent to terminate.
