Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On September 9, 2024, Mach Natural Resources LP,
a Delaware limited partnership (the “Partnership”), completed its public offering (the “Offering”) of 7,272,728
common units representing limited partner interests in the Partnership (“Common Units”), at $16.50 per Common Unit pursuant
to a Registration Statement on Form S-1, as amended (File No. 333-281919) (the “Registration Statement”), initially filed
by the Partnership with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended (the “Securities Act”), on September 4, 2024. The Registration Statement was declared effective on September 6,
2024. The material provisions of the Offering are described in the prospectus, dated September 6, 2024, filed with the Commission on September
6, 2024, pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act (the “Prospectus”).
On September 6, 2023, the Partnership entered
into an Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) by and among the Partnership, Mach Natural Resources GP LLC,
a Delaware limited liability company, and Raymond James & Associates, Inc., Stifel, Nicolaus & Company, Incorporated and Truist
Securities, Inc., as representatives of the several underwriters named therein (the “Underwriters”), providing for the offer
and sale by the Partnership, and purchase by the Underwriters, of the Common Units. Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, the Partnership
also granted the Underwriters an option for a period of 30 days to purchase up to an additional 1,090,909 Common Units on the same terms.
The material terms of the Offering are described in the Prospectus. The Underwriting Agreement contains customary representations and
warranties, agreements and obligations, closing conditions and termination provisions. The Partnership has agreed to indemnify the Underwriters
against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, and to contribute to payments the Underwriters may be required
to make because of any of those liabilities.
The Offering closed on September 9, 2024. The
Partnership received proceeds (net of underwriting discounts and estimated offering expenses) from the Offering of approximately $112.9
million. As described in the Prospectus, the Partnership intends to use the net proceeds from the Offering (i) to fund its planned acquisitions
in the Ardmore Basin and Western Kansas and (ii) for general partnership purposes.
As more fully described under the caption “Underwriting
and Plan of Distribution” in the Prospectus, certain of the Underwriters or their affiliates may make or hold a broad array of investments
and actively trade debt and equity securities (or related derivative securities) and financial instruments (including bank loans) for
their own account and for the accounts of their customers. Such investments and securities activities may involve securities and/or instruments
of the Partnership or its affiliates.

The Mach Parties confirm as

1.
The Mach Parties, jointly and severally, hereby represent and warrant to, and agree with, each of the Underwriters that, as of
the date hereof and as of the Closing Date (as defined herein) and each Option Closing Date (as defined herein), if any:
1.1.

(together, the “Initial Registration Statement”) has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”);
the Initial Registration Statement and any post-effective amendment thereto, each in the form heretofore delivered to you, have been declared

other document with respect to the Initial Registration Statement has heretofore been filed with the Commission; no stop order suspending
the effectiveness of the Initial Registration Statement, any post-effective amendment thereto or the Rule 462(b) Registration Statement,
if any, has been issued, no proceeding for that purpose has been initiated or threatened by the Commission and any request on the part
of the Commission for additional information from the Partnership has been satisfied in all material respects; any preliminary prospectus
included in the Initial Registration Statement, as originally filed or as part of any amendment thereto, or filed with the Commission
pursuant to Rule 424(a) of the rules and regulations of the Commission under the Securities Act is hereinafter called a “Preliminary
Prospectus”; the various parts of the Initial Registration Statement and the Rule 462(b) Registration Statement, if any, including
all schedules and exhibits thereto and including the information contained in the form of final prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant
to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act and deemed by virtue of Rule 430A under the Securities Act to be part of the Initial Registration
Statement at the time it was declared effective or such part of the Rule 462(b) Registration Statement, if any, became or hereafter becomes

Prospectus”; such final prospectus, in the form first filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act, is hereinafter called
the “Prospectus”; and any “issuer free writing prospectus” as defined in Rule 433 under the Securities Act relating
to the Units is hereinafter called an “Issuer Free Writing Prospectus”; and all references to the Registration Statement,
any Preliminary Prospectus, the Pricing Prospectus, the Prospectus, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or any amendment or supplement
to any of the foregoing shall be deemed to include the copy filed with the Commission pursuant to its Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis

regulations of the Commission thereunder (the “Rules and Regulations”) and 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,

are purchased, at each Option Closing Date), neither the Prospectus nor any amendment or supplement thereto 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; provided that the representations and warranties in clauses
(1) and (2) above shall not apply to statements in or omissions from the Registration Statement or the Prospectus made in reliance upon
and in conformity with information furnished to the Partnership in writing by any Underwriter through the Representatives expressly for
use in the Registration Statement or the Prospectus, it being understood and agreed that the only such information provided by any Underwriter

or lapse of time would give, the holder of any note, debenture or other evidence of indebtedness (or any person acting on such holder’s

service marks and trade names, patents and patent rights (collectively “Intellectual Property”) material to carrying on their
businesses as described in the Pricing Prospectus, and none of the Partnership Entities have received any correspondence relating to any
Intellectual Property or notice of infringement of or conflict with asserted rights of others with respect to any Intellectual Property
which would render any Intellectual Property invalid or inadequate to protect the interest of any of the Partnership Entities and which

comply with the applicable requirements of the Exchange Act; such disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that material
information relating to the Partnership and its Subsidiaries is made known to the Partnership’s chief executive officer and chief
financial officer by others within those entities to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure, particularly during the periods
in which the periodic reports under the Exchange Act are being prepared and such disclosure controls and procedures are effective in all
material respects to perform the functions for which they were established; the Partnership’s independent auditors and the audit
committee of the board of directors of the Partnership have been advised of (i) all significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in
the design or operation of internal control over financial reporting which could adversely affect the Partnership’s and its Subsidiaries’
ability to record, process, summarize, and report financial data and (ii) any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management
or other employees who have a significant role in the Partnership’s and its Subsidiaries’ internal control over financial
reporting; since the date of the most recent evaluation of such disclosure controls and procedures, except as described in the Registration

Act to be disclosed in the Registration Statement, the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus and (ii) no relationship, direct

except as disclosed in the Registration Statement, the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus.

material adverse change, or any development that would reasonably be expected to result in a prospective material adverse change, in or
affecting the general affairs, business, prospects, management, financial position, unitholders’ equity or results of operations
of the Partnership, the effect of which, in any such case described in clause (i) or (ii), is in the judgment of the Representatives so
material and adverse as to make it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the public offering or the delivery of the Units being
delivered at such Closing Date or Option Closing Date, as the case may be, on the terms and in the manner contemplated in the Registration

containing statements and information of the type ordinarily included in such letters to underwriters with respect to the reserve and
other operational information audited by Cawley, Gillespie & Associates, Inc. and contained in the Registration Statement, the Pricing

8.15.
On the Closing Date or Option Closing Date, as the case may be, the Representatives shall have received from Cawley, Gillespie
& Associates, Inc. a letter, dated the Closing Date or such Option Closing Date, as the case may be, to the effect that they reaffirm
the statements made in the letter or letters furnished pursuant to Section 8.12, except that the specified date referred to shall

8.16.

to proceed with the public offering or the delivery of the Units being delivered at such Closing Date or Option Closing Date, as the case
may be, on the terms and in the manner contemplated in the Prospectus;
If any condition specified
in this Section 8 shall not have been fulfilled when and as required to be fulfilled, this Agreement may be terminated, subject

9.
(a) The Mach Parties each, jointly and severally, agree to indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter and each person, if
any, who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act against
any and all losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses whatsoever as incurred (including without limitation, reasonable attorneys’
fees and any and all reasonable expenses whatsoever incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, commenced
or threatened, or any claim whatsoever, and any and all amounts paid in settlement of any claim or litigation, and which are in each case
documented by the incurring Underwriter), joint or several, to which they or any of them may become subject under the Securities Act,
the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses (or actions in respect thereof) arise
out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Initial Registration Statement,
as originally filed or any amendment thereof, the Registration Statement, or any post-effective amendment thereof, any Preliminary Prospectus,
the Pricing Prospectus or the Prospectus, or in any supplement thereto or amendment thereof, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, any Written
Testing-the-Waters Communication, or any “issuer information” filed or required to be filed pursuant to Rule 433(d) under
the Securities Act, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;
provided, however, that the Mach Parties will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, liability, claim, damage
or expense arises out of or is based upon any such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in
the Initial Registration Statement, as originally filed or any amendment thereof, the Registration Statement, or any post-effective amendment
thereof, any Preliminary Prospectus, the Pricing Prospectus or the Prospectus, or in any supplement thereto or amendment thereof, any
Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, or any Written Testing-the-Waters Communication in reliance upon and in conformity with written information
furnished to the Mach Parties by or on behalf of any Underwriter through the Representatives expressly for use therein, it being understood
and agreed that the only such information furnished by any Underwriter is the information described as such in Section 9(b) below.
(b)
Each Underwriter severally, and not jointly, agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Mach Parties, each of the directors of the
Mach Parties, each of the officers of the Mach Parties who shall have signed the Registration Statement, and each other person, if any,
who controls the Mach Parties within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act, against any
losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses whatsoever as incurred (including without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees
and any and all reasonable expenses whatsoever incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, commenced or
threatened, or any claim whatsoever, and any and all amounts paid in settlement of any claim or litigation), joint or several, to which
they or any of them may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, liabilities, claims,
damages or expenses (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of
a material fact contained in the Initial Registration Statement, as originally filed or any amendment thereof, the Registration Statement,
or any post-effective amendment thereof, or any Preliminary Prospectus, the Pricing Prospectus or the Prospectus, or in any supplement
thereto or amendment thereof, any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or any Written Testing-the-Waters Communication, or arise out of or are
based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent,
that any such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense arises out of or is based upon any such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement
or omission or alleged omission made therein in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Partnership
by or on behalf of such Underwriter through the Representatives expressly for use therein, it being understood and agreed that the only
such information furnished by any Underwriter consists of the following information in the Prospectus furnished on behalf of each Underwriter:
the concession and reallowance figures and the paragraph relating to stabilization by the Underwriters appearing under the caption “Underwriting”.
(c)
Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under Section 9(a) or 9(b) of notice of the commencement of any action,
such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under such Section, notify each
party against whom indemnification is to be sought in writing of the commencement thereof (but the failure so to notify an indemnifying
party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have under this Section 9). 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 participate
therein, and jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to the extent it may elect by written notice delivered to the
indemnified party promptly after receiving the aforesaid notice from such indemnified party, to assume the defense thereof with counsel
reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the indemnified party or parties shall have the right
to employ its or their own counsel in any such case, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified
party or parties unless (i) the employment of such counsel shall have been authorized in writing by one of the indemnifying parties in
connection with the defense of such action, (ii) the indemnifying parties shall not have employed counsel to have charge of the defense
of such action within a reasonable time after notice of commencement of the action, or (iii) such indemnified party or parties shall have
reasonably concluded that there may be defenses available to it or them which are different from or additional to those available to one
or all of the indemnifying parties (in which case the indemnifying parties shall not have the right to direct the defense of such action
on behalf of the indemnified party or parties), in any of which events such fees and expenses shall be borne by the indemnifying parties.
In no event shall the indemnifying parties be liable for fees and expenses of more than one counsel (in addition to any local counsel)
separate from their own counsel for all indemnified parties in connection with any one action or separate but similar or related actions
in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, which counsel, in the event of indemnified parties
under Section 9(a), shall be selected by the Representatives. No indemnifying party shall, without the written consent of the indemnified
party, effect the settlement or compromise of, or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to, any pending or threatened action
or claim in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified party is an actual
or potential party to such action or claim) unless such settlement, compromise or judgment (i) includes an unconditional release of the
indemnified party from all liability arising out of such action or claim and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of
fault, culpability or a failure to act, by or on behalf of any indemnified party.
(d)
If the indemnification provided for in this Section 9 is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified
party under Section 9(a) or 9(b) in respect of any losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses (or actions in respect
thereof) referred to therein, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as
a result of such losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses (or actions in respect thereof) in such proportion as is appropriate
to reflect the relative benefits received by the Mach Parties on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other from the offering of the
Units. If, however, the allocation provided by the immediately preceding sentence is not permitted by applicable law, then each indemnifying
party shall contribute to such amount paid or payable by such indemnified party in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only
such relative benefits but also the relative fault of the Mach Parties on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other in connection
with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses (or actions in respect thereof),
as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Mach Parties on the one hand and the Underwriters
on the other from the offering of the Units shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the offering (before
deducting expenses) received by the Mach Parties bear to the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters,
in each case as set forth in the table on the cover page of the Prospectus. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among
other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material
fact relates to information supplied by the Partnership on the one hand or the Underwriters on the other and the parties’ relative
intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.
The Mach Parties and the Underwriters
agree that it would not be just and equitable if contributions pursuant to this Section 9(d) were determined by pro rata allocation
(even if the Underwriters were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take account
of the equitable considerations referred to above in this Section 9(d). The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a
result of the losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses (or actions in respect thereof) referred to above in this Section 9(d)
shall be deemed to include 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 this Section 9(d), no Underwriter shall be required to
contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Units underwritten by it and distributed to the public
were offered to the public exceeds the amount of any damages which such Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such
untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission.
No person guilty of fraudulent
misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was
not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Underwriters’ obligations in this Section 9(d) to contribute are several
in proportion to their respective underwriting obligations and not joint.
(e)
The obligations of the parties to this Agreement contained in this Section 9 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.
10.
If any Underwriter or Underwriters default in its or their obligations to purchase Units hereunder on the Closing Date or any Option
Closing Date and the aggregate number of Units that such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase does not
exceed 10% of the total number of Units that the Underwriters are obligated to purchase on such Closing Date or Option Closing Date, as
the case may be, the Representatives may make arrangements satisfactory to the Mach Parties for the purchase of such Units by other persons,
including any of the Underwriters, but if no such arrangements are made by such Closing Date or Option Closing Date, as the case may be,
the non-defaulting Underwriters shall be obligated severally, in proportion to their respective commitments hereunder, to purchase the
Units that such defaulting Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase on such Closing Date or Option Closing Date, as the case may be.
If any Underwriter or Underwriters so default and the aggregate number of Units with respect to which such default or defaults occur exceeds
10% of the total number of Units that the Underwriters are obligated to purchase on such Closing Date or Option Closing Date, as the case
may be, and arrangements satisfactory to the Representatives and the Mach Parties for the purchase of such Units by other persons are
not made within 36 hours after such default, this Agreement will terminate, subject to the provisions of Section 12, without liability
on the part of any non-defaulting Underwriter or the Mach Parties, except as provided in Section 12. Nothing herein will relieve
a defaulting Underwriter from liability for its default.
In the event of any such default
which does not result in a termination of this Agreement, either the Representatives or the Mach Parties shall have the right to postpone
the Closing Date or the relevant Option Closing Date, as the case may be, for a period not exceeding seven days in order to effect any
required changes in the Registration Statement or Prospectus or in any other documents or arrangements. As used in this Agreement, the
term “Underwriter” includes any person substituted for an Underwriter under this Section 10.
11.
Notwithstanding anything herein contained, this Agreement (or the obligations of the several Underwriters with respect to any Option
Units which have yet to be purchased) may be terminated, subject to the provisions of Section 12, in the absolute discretion of
the Representatives, by notice given to the Partnership, if after the execution and delivery of this Agreement and prior to the Closing
Date or the Option Closing Date, as the case may be, (a) trading generally on the NYSE shall have been suspended or materially limited,
or minimum or maximum prices for trading have been fixed, or maximum ranges for prices have been required, by any of said exchanges or
by such system or by order of the Commission, FINRA or any other governmental or regulatory authority, (b) trading of any securities of
or guaranteed by the Partnership or any Subsidiary shall have been suspended on any exchange or in any over-the-counter market, (c) a
general moratorium on commercial banking activities in New York or Maryland shall have been declared by Federal, New York State or Maryland
State authorities or a new restriction materially adversely affecting the distribution of the Firm Units or the Option Units, as the case
may be, shall have become effective, or (d) 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 the Representatives, impracticable to market the Units to be delivered on the
Closing Date or Option Closing Date, as the case may be, or to enforce contracts for the sale of the Units.
If this Agreement is terminated
pursuant to this Section 11, such termination will be without liability of any party to any other party except as provided in Section
12 hereof.
12.
The provisions of Section 7 and Section 9 and the respective indemnities, agreements, representations, warranties
and other statements of the Mach Parties or its officers and of the several Underwriters set forth in or made pursuant to this Agreement
will remain in full force and effect, regardless of (i) any investigation, or statement as to the results thereof, made by or on behalf
of any Underwriter, the Mach Parties or any of their respective representatives, officers or directors or any controlling person, (ii)
delivery of and payment for the Units and (iii) any termination of this Agreement for any reason whatsoever. If this Agreement shall be
terminated by the Underwriters under Section 8 or otherwise because of any failure or refusal on the part of the Mach Parties to
comply with the terms or to fulfill any of the conditions of this Agreement, or if for any reason the Mach Parties shall be unable to
perform its obligations under this Agreement or any condition of the Underwriters’ obligations cannot be fulfilled, in each case
other than as a result of a termination by the Underwriters pursuant to Section 11 hereof, the Mach Parties agree to reimburse
the Underwriters or such Underwriters as have so terminated this Agreement with respect to themselves, severally, for all out-of-pocket
expenses (including the fees and expenses of its counsel) reasonably incurred and documented by the Underwriter in connection with this
Agreement or the offering contemplated hereunder; provided, however, such amounts to be reimbursed hereunder other than the reasonable
fees and expenses of its counsel shall not exceed $100,000.
13.
This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Mach Parties and the Underwriters, the officers and directors
of the Mach Parties referred to herein, any controlling persons referred to herein and their respective successors and assigns. Nothing
expressed or mentioned in this Agreement is intended or shall be construed to give any other person, firm or corporation any legal or
equitable right, remedy or claim under or in respect of this Agreement or any provision herein contained. No purchaser of Units from any
Underwriter shall be deemed to be a successor or assign by reason merely of such purchase.
14.
All notices and other communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given upon receipt thereof
by the recipient if mailed or transmitted by any standard form of telecommunication. Notices to the Underwriters shall be given to the
Representatives, c/o Raymond James & Associates, Inc., 880 Carillon Parkway, St. Petersburg, Florida 33716, Attention: Thomas M. Donegan,
Jr, c/o Stifel, Nicolaus & Company, Incorporated, 787 Seventh Avenue, 11th Floor, New York, New York 10019, Attention:
Syndicate Department and c/o Truist Securities, Inc., 3333 Peachtree Road NE, Atlanta, Georgia 30326, Attention: Equity Capital Origination.
Notices to the Partnership shall be given to it at Mach Natural Resources LP, 14201 Wireless Way, Suite 300, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma 73134,

15.
This Agreement may be signed in counterparts, each of which shall be an original and all of which together shall constitute one
and the same instrument. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” “delivery,” and
words of like import in or relating to this Agreement or any document to be signed in connection with this Agreement shall be deemed to
include electronic signatures, deliveries or the keeping of records in electronic form in compliance with the U.S. federal ESIGN Act of
2000 or any comparable state statutes, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed
signature, physical delivery thereof or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, and the parties hereto consent
to conduct the transactions contemplated hereunder by electronic means.
16.
THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO SUCH
STATE’S PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAWS.
17.
The parties hereby submit to the jurisdiction of and venue in the federal courts located in the City of New York, New York in connection
with any dispute related to this Agreement, any transaction contemplated hereby, or any other matter contemplated hereby.
18.
The Mach Parties each acknowledge and agree that (i) the purchase and sale of the Units pursuant to this Agreement, including the
determination of the public offering price of the Units and any related discounts and commissions, is an arm’s-length commercial
transaction between the Mach Parties on the one hand, and the several Underwriters, on the other, (ii) in connection therewith and with
the process leading to such transaction each Underwriter is acting solely as a principal and not the agent or fiduciary of the Mach Parties
or their respective stockholders, creditors, employees or any other party, (iii) no Underwriter has assumed an advisory or fiduciary responsibility
in favor of the Mach Parties with respect to the offering contemplated hereby or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether
such Underwriter has advised or is currently advising the Mach Parties on other matters) or any other obligation to the Mach Parties except
the obligations expressly set forth in this Agreement, and (iv) the Mach Parties have consulted their own legal and financial advisors
to the extent it deemed appropriate. The Mach Parties agrees that each will not claim that the Underwriters, or any of them, has rendered
advisory services of any nature or respect, or owes a fiduciary or similar duty to the Mach Parties, in connection with such transaction
or the process leading thereto.
19.
The Mach Parties acknowledge that the Underwriters’ research analysts and research departments are required to be independent
from their respective investment banking divisions and are subject to certain regulations and internal policies, and that such Underwriters’
research analysts may hold views and make statements or investment recommendations and/or publish research reports with respect to the
Partnership and/or the offering that differ from the views of their respective investment banking divisions. The Mach Parties hereby waive
and release, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any claims that the Mach Parties may have against the Underwriters with respect to
any conflict of interest that may arise from the fact that the views expressed by their independent research analysts and research departments
may be different from or inconsistent with the views or advice communicated to the Mach Parties by such Underwriters’ investment
banking divisions. The Mach Parties acknowledge that each of the Underwriters is a full service securities firm and as such from time
to time, subject to applicable securities laws, may effect transaction for its own account or the account of its customers and hold long
or short positions in debt or equity securities of the companies that may be the subject of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
20.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Mach Parties are authorized to disclose to any persons the U.S. federal and
state income tax treatment and tax structure of the potential transaction and all materials of any kind (including tax opinions and other
tax analyses) provided to the Mach Parties relating to that treatment and structure, without the Underwriters imposing any limitation
of any kind. However, any information relating to the tax treatment and tax structure shall remain confidential (and the foregoing sentence
shall not apply) to the extent necessary to enable any person to comply with securities laws. For this purpose, “tax structure”
is limited to any facts that may be relevant to that treatment.
21.
This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements and understandings (whether written or oral) between the Mach Parties and the Underwriters,
or any of them, with respect to the subject matter hereof.
22.
The Mach Parties and each of the Underwriters hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any
and all right to trial by jury in any legal proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.
23.
(a) In the event that any Underwriter that is a Covered Entity becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution
Regime, the transfer from such Underwriter of this Agreement, and any interest and obligation in or under this Agreement, will be effective
to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this Agreement, and any such interest
and obligation, were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.
(b)
In the event that any Underwriter that is a Covered Entity or a BHC Act Affiliate of such Underwriter becomes subject to a proceeding
under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under this Agreement that may be exercised against such Underwriter are permitted
to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this Agreement
were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.
As used in this Section
23:
“BHC Act Affiliate”
has the meaning assigned to the term “affiliate” in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. Section 1841(k).

Regime” means each of (i) the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and the regulations promulgated thereunder and (ii) Title II of the
Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and the regulations promulgated thereunder.

Ladies and Gentlemen:
The undersigned refers to
the proposed Underwriting Agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) among Mach Natural Resources LP, a Delaware limited partnership
(the “Partnership”), Mach Natural Resources GP LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and general partner of the Partnership,
and Raymond James & Associates, Inc., Stifel, Nicolaus & Company, Incorporated and Truist Securities, Inc., as representatives
of the Underwriters as named and defined therein (the “Representatives”). As an inducement to the Underwriters to execute
the Underwriting Agreement in connection with the proposed public offering of common units representing limited partner interests in the
Partnership (the “Common Units”), pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-1, the undersigned hereby agrees that from
the date hereof and until 60 days after the public offering date set forth on the final prospectus used to sell the Common Units (the
“Public Offering Date”) pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement (such 60 day period being referred to herein as the “Lock-Up
Period”), to which you are or expect to become parties, the undersigned will not (and will cause any spouse or immediate family
member of the spouse or the undersigned living in the undersigned’s household, any partnership, corporation or other entity within
the undersigned’s control, and any trustee of any trust that holds Common Units or other securities of the Partnership for the benefit
of the undersigned or such spouse or family member not to) offer, sell, contract to sell (including any short sale), pledge, hypothecate,
establish an open “put equivalent position” within the meaning of Rule 16a-1(h) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
as amended, grant any option, right or warrant for the sale of, purchase any option or contract to sell, sell any option or contract to
purchase, or otherwise encumber, dispose of or transfer, or grant any rights with respect to, directly or indirectly, any Common Units
or securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for any Common Units, enter into a transaction which would have the same
effect, or enter into any swap, hedge or other arrangement that transfers, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership
of the Common Units, whether any such aforementioned transaction is to be settled by delivery of the Common Units or such other securities,
in cash or otherwise, or publicly disclose the intention to make any such offer, sale, pledge or disposition, or to enter into any such
transaction, swap, hedge or other arrangement, without, in each case, the prior written consent of the Representatives, which consent
may be withheld in the Representatives’ sole discretion.
Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the undersigned may transfer the undersigned’s Common Units or securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for any
Common Units without the prior written consent of the Representatives as follows, provided that each resulting transferee of Common Units
or securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for any Common Units executes and delivers to the Representatives an agreement
reasonably satisfactory to the Representatives certifying that such transferee is bound by the terms of this Agreement and has been in
compliance with the terms hereof since the date first above written as if it had been an original party hereto: (i) as a bona fide gift
or gifts; (ii) to any trust or other entity for the direct or indirect benefit of the undersigned or the immediate family of the undersigned;
(iii) if the undersigned is a corporation, partnership, limited liability company, trust or other business entity and (a) transfers to
another corporation, partnership, limited liability company, trust or other business entity that is a direct or indirect affiliate (as
defined in Rule 405 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended) of the undersigned or (b) distributes Common Units or any
security convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for any Common Units to limited partners, limited liability company members or
stockholders of the undersigned, or to any investment fund or other entity that controls or manages the undersigned; (iv) via transfer
by testate succession or intestate succession; (v) if the undersigned is not an officer or director of the General Partner, in connection
with the grant and maintenance of a bona fide lien, security interest, pledge, hypothecation or other similar encumbrance of Common Units
by the undersigned to a recognized financial institution in connection with a loan to the undersigned as collateral or security for any
loan, advance, extension of credit or similar financing activity (however may not transfer Common Units upon foreclosure of such Common
Units in connection with such arrangement); (vi) in connection with the exercise of options or warrants or the vesting, exercise or settlement
of any other equity-based award, in each case, granted pursuant to the Partnership’s long-term incentive plans or otherwise outstanding
on the date hereof and disclosed in the Prospectus, including any Common Units withheld by the Partnership Entities or any of their subsidiaries
to pay any applicable exercise price or tax withholding associated with such awards; provided that, (a) the restrictions contained in
the Lock-Up Agreements shall apply to the Common Units issued upon such exercise, conversion, vesting or settlement and (b) for any options
or other awards that expire, vest or become settled during the Lock-Up Period while the Partnership and General Partner are unable to
transfer Common Units for the purposes of satisfying any tax or other governmental withholding obligation, the restrictions contained
in this Agreement shall not apply to Common Units sold for that purpose; (vii) if the undersigned is an employee of the Partnership and
transfers to the Partnership upon death, disability or termination of employment of such employee; or (viii) pursuant to an order of a
court or regulatory agency; provided that, in the case of any transfer or distribution pursuant to clauses (i) through (v) above, that
no filing by the undersigned or any other person under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act or other public announcement shall be required
or shall be made voluntarily in connection with such transfer or distribution during the Lock-Up Period; provided further, that that in
the case of any transfer, donation or distribution pursuant to clauses (i) through (iv), (vii) and (viii), any such transfer shall not
involve a disposition for value. To the extent any interest in the Partnership’s securities is retained by the undersigned (or such
spouse or family member), such securities shall remain subject to the restrictions contained in this Agreement. For purposes of the foregoing,
“immediate family” means such person’s spouse, parents, children, brothers, sisters, grandparents, grandchildren and
any such person who is so related by marriage such that this includes “step-” and “-in-law” relations as well
as such persons so related by adoption.
In addition, the undersigned
agrees that, during the period commencing on the date hereof and ending 60 days after the Public Offering Date, without the prior written
consent of the Representatives (which consent may be withheld in its sole discretion): (a) the undersigned will not request, make any
demand for or exercise any right with respect to, the registration of any Common Units or any security convertible into or exercisable
or exchangeable for Common Units and (b) the undersigned waives any and all notice requirements and rights with respect to the registration
of any such security pursuant to any agreement, understanding or otherwise to which the undersigned is a party.
In furtherance of the foregoing,
the Partnership and its transfer agent and registrar are hereby authorized to (a) decline to make any transfer of Common Units if such
transfer would constitute a violation or breach of this Agreement and (b) place legends and stop transfer instructions on any such Common
Units owned or beneficially owned by the undersigned.
This Agreement is irrevocable
and shall be binding on the undersigned and the successors, heirs, personal representatives and assigns of the undersigned. This Agreement
shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without regard to choice of law rules.
