Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On April 25, 2023, Camber Energy, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into two warrant termination agreements (the “Warrant Termination Agreements”) with the investor named in each Warrant Termination Agreement, respectively (each, an “Investor” and collectively, the “Investors”), pursuant to which each Investor agreed to cancel and terminate, effective as of April 25, 2023 (the “Termination”) all warrants to purchase Camber’s common stock outstanding under (i) that certain Warrant Agreement, dated as of December 30, 2021, by and between the Company and the Investor named therein, and (ii) that certain Warrant Agreement, dated as of December 31, 2021, by and between the Company and the Investor named therein. The Warrant Termination Agreements are identical as to their terms. The Investors entered into the Warrant Termination Agreements in order to help facilitate implementation of the Company’s business plans and continued trading on the NYSE American LLC, and, in exchange for the Termination, the Company agreed to the release and indemnity as provided in each Warrant Termination Agreement. Pursuant to the Warrant Termination Agreement, the Investor also agreed that the Company may make an Early Redemption of any remaining shares of Series C Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock held by the Investor provided that all Promissory Notes executed by the Company in favor of the Investor or any of its affiliates have been paid in full. The term “Early Redemption” has the meaning given to it in the Fifth Amended and Restated Certificate of Designations of Preferences, Powers, Rights and Limitations of Series C Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock filed by the Company with the State of Nevada regarding such class of preferred stock. The foregoing description of the Warrant Termination Agreements does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the full texts of the Warrant Termination Agreements, copies of which are attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and Exhibit 10.2 and incorporated herein by reference.

EXHIBIT 10.1
WARRANT TERMINATION AGREEMENT
This Warrant Termination Agreement (“Agreement”) is made and entered into on April 25, 2023 (“Agreement Date”), by and between Camber Energy, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Camber”), and the investor whose name appears below (“Investor”). All capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to them in either (i) that certain Warrant Agreement previously entered into between Camber and the Investor or (ii) the related Stock Purchase Agreement previously entered into between Camber and the Investor.
Recital
As an accommodation to Camber and in order to help facilitate implementation of Camber’s business plans and continued trading on the Trading Market, and in exchange for the indemnity as provided herein, Investor is willing to waive all rights to receive any Warrant Shares as provided herein.
Agreement
In consideration of the premises, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, Camber and Investor agree as follows:
I. Cancellation of All Warrants. All outstanding Warrants to Purchase Common Stock (collectively, “Warrants”) issued by Camber to Investor, if any, are hereby cancelled and terminated as of the Agreement Date, and shall be of no further force or effect. Notwithstanding any other provision of any Warrant or any other Transaction Document, Investor hereby absolutely and unconditionally waives and releases any and all rights to receive any Warrant Shares (as defined therein) upon exercise of any Warrants. The parties acknowledge and agree that Investor shall have no ability to exercise any Warrants, and in no event will Investor be entitled to receive any Warrant Shares. For the avoidance of doubt, Investor shall have the right to retain all shares of Common Stock previously delivered to it by Camber.
II. Right to Redeem Preferred Stock. Pursuant to Section I.F.2 of the Fifth Amended and Restated Certificate of Designations of Preferences, Powers, Rights and Limitations of Series C Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock (“Certificate”), Camber may make an Early Redemption even though multiple Trigger Events have occurred, provided that any and all Notes payable to Investor or any of its affiliates have been paid in full and no part of any such Notes remains outstanding.
III. General Release of Investor. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Camber, on behalf of itself and on behalf of each of its predecessors, successors, parents, subsidiaries, shareholders, and affiliated and/or related companies, and each of its respective present and former officers, directors, shareholders, employees, representatives, business entities, executors, administrators, conservators, trustees, estates, assignors and assignees (collectively, the “Releasing Parties”) hereby knowingly and voluntarily fully and forever absolutely and irrevocably waive, release and discharge Investor, its Affiliates, predecessors, successors, parents, subsidiaries, sister companies, and affiliated and/or related companies and entities, and each of their respective present and former officers, directors, shareholders, partners, members, employees, representatives, agents, attorneys, advisors, business entities, executors, administrators, conservators, assignors and assignees and all parties acting through, under or in concert with them, and each of them, in their individual and representative capacities (collectively, the “Released Parties”) from any and all claims, charges, complaints, grievances, demands, liens, actions, suits, causes of action, obligations, controversies, debts, costs, indemnity, attorneys' fees, expenses, damages, judgments, orders, and liabilities of whatever kind and/or nature in law, equity or otherwise, whether now known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, which have existed or may have existed, or which do exist or which hereafter can, shall or may exist as of the date this Agreement is executed, including without limitation any that are based upon, connected with, or otherwise arising out of or in any way relating to any Transaction Documents, the resale of Conversion Shares or any shares of Common Stock by Investor or its Affiliates, any application of state or federal securities laws, rules or regulations, any requirement that any of the Released Parties was or is required to register as a dealer under federal securities laws, and all matters related thereto (collectively, the “Released Claims”). The Releasing Parties, and each of them, expressly waive and relinquish, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the provisions, rights and benefits conferred by any law which would limit the scope of the release provided above. The Releasing Parties acknowledge that they or any of them may hereafter discover facts in addition to or different from those which they now know to be true with respect to the subject matters of the claims released herein, but hereby stipulate and agree that they have fully, finally, and forever settled and released any and all such claims, whether known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, contingent or non-contingent, concealed or hidden, which now exist or heretofore existed upon any theory of law or equity now existing or coming into existence in the future, without regard to discovery or existence of such different or additional facts.
IV. Indemnification of Investor. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Camber will indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Investor, its Affiliates, any person who owns or controls Investor within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Securities Exchange Act (collectively, “Investor Parties” and each a “Investor Party”), and each of their officers, directors, managers, members, shareholders, partners, employees, representatives, advisors, agents and attorneys, from any and all losses, liabilities, obligations, claims, contingencies, damages, reasonable costs and expenses, including all judgments, amounts paid in settlements, court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of defense, investigation and preparation (collectively, “Losses”) that any Investor Party may suffer or incur as a result of or relating to (a) any breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by Camber in this Agreement or in the other Transaction Documents, (b) any action by Camber or a creditor or stockholder of Camber who is not an Affiliate of an Investor Party, or (c) any threatened, pending or completed action, suit, hearing, trial, investigation, proceeding or arbitration, whether civil, criminal or administrative, and whether formal or informal, based upon, connected with, or otherwise arising out of or in any way relating to any Transaction Documents, the resale of Conversion Shares or any shares of Common Stock by any Investor Party, the application of any state or federal securities laws, rules, or regulations to any Investor Party, or any actual or claimed requirement that any Investor Party was or is required to register as a dealer under federal securities laws, and all matters related thereto. Camber shall promptly pay as incurred the reasonable fees, costs and expenses directly to any attorney or expert engaged by the Investor Parties. In no event will Camber be liable for fees for more than one firm of attorneys (plus local counsel as applicable) to represent all Investor Parties. Each of the Investor Parties is an intended third-party beneficiary of this Agreement. The indemnity provided for herein will be limited to the extent, and only to the extent, required by applicable law.

No waiver of any default with respect to any provision, condition or requirement of this Agreement will be deemed to be a continuing waiver in the future or a waiver of any subsequent default or a waiver of any other provision, condition or requirement hereof, nor will any delay or omission of either party to exercise any right hereunder in any manner impair the exercise of any such right.
| 4 |
C. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable in any respect, the validity and enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement will not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and the parties will attempt to agree upon a valid and enforceable provision that is a reasonable substitute therefor, and upon so agreeing, will incorporate such substitute provision in this Agreement.
D. Governing Law. All matters between the parties, including without limitation questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of the Transaction Documents will be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the U.S. Virgin Islands, without regard to the principles of conflicts of law that would require or permit the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction, except for corporation law matters applicable to Camber which will be governed by the corporate law of its jurisdiction of formation. The parties hereby waive all rights to a trial by jury. In any action, arbitration or proceeding, including appeal, arising out of or relating to any of the Transaction Documents or otherwise involving the parties, the prevailing party will be awarded its reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs and expenses reasonably incurred in connection with the investigation, preparation, prosecution or defense of such action or proceeding.
E. Headings. The headings herein are for convenience only, do not constitute a part of this Agreement and will not be deemed to limit or affect any of the provisions hereof.
F. Construction. The parties agree that each of them and/or their respective counsel has reviewed and had an opportunity to revise this Agreement and, therefore, the normal rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party will not be employed in the interpretation of this Agreement or any amendments hereto.

Except as expressly provided herein, the Notes, Agreements, Certificates, Preferred Stock, and Transaction Documents are hereby ratified and affirmed in all respects, and remain in full force and effect. Except as expressly provided herein, the execution of this Agreement shall not operate as a waiver of any right, power or remedy of Investor, constitute a waiver of any provision of any of the Notes, Agreements, Certificates or any Transaction Document or serve to effect a novation of the obligations under the Notes, Agreements, Certificates or any Transaction Document. All of the obligations of Camber under this Agreement will constitute Secured Obligations under all of the Notes. Except as expressly provided herein, the Notes, Agreements, Certificates, Preferred Stock and all Transaction Documents between Camber and Investor shall continue in full force and effect and nothing herein shall act as a waiver of any of Investor’s rights under any of the foregoing, or serve to effect a novation of the obligations thereunder. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing provided for in Section I above shall in any way effect any rights of any Affiliate of Investor with regard to any documents, instruments or securities held by any such Affiliate.
| 5 |
I. Execution. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, all of which when taken together will be considered one and the same agreement and will become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the other party, it being understood that both parties need not sign the same counterpart. In the event that any signature is delivered by portable document format, facsimile or electronic transmission, such signature will create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such signature page were an original thereof.
J. Entire Agreement. This Agreement contains the entire agreement and understanding of the parties, and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements, term sheets, letters, discussions, communications and understandings, both oral and written, which the parties acknowledge have been merged into this Agreement. No party, representative, advisor, attorney or agent has relied upon any collateral contract, agreement, assurance, promise, understanding, statement or representation not expressly set forth herein or in the Notes, Purchase Agreements or Transaction Documents. The parties hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably waive all rights and remedies, at law and in equity, directly or indirectly arising out of or relating to, or which may arise as a result of, any Person’s reliance on any such statement or assurance.

No waiver of any default with respect to any provision, condition or requirement of this Agreement will be deemed to be a continuing waiver in the future or a waiver of any subsequent default or a waiver of any other provision, condition or requirement hereof, nor will any delay or omission of either party to exercise any right hereunder in any manner impair the exercise of any such right.

C. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable in any respect, the validity and enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement will not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and the parties will attempt to agree upon a valid and enforceable provision that is a reasonable substitute therefor, and upon so agreeing, will incorporate such substitute provision in this Agreement.
D. Governing Law. All matters between the parties, including without limitation questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of the Transaction Documents will be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the U.S. Virgin Islands, without regard to the principles of conflicts of law that would require or permit the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction, except for corporation law matters applicable to Camber which will be governed by the corporate law of its jurisdiction of formation. The parties hereby waive all rights to a trial by jury. In any action, arbitration or proceeding, including appeal, arising out of or relating to any of the Transaction Documents or otherwise involving the parties, the prevailing party will be awarded its reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs and expenses reasonably incurred in connection with the investigation, preparation, prosecution or defense of such action or proceeding.
E. Headings. The headings herein are for convenience only, do not constitute a part of this Agreement and will not be deemed to limit or affect any of the provisions hereof.
F. Construction. The parties agree that each of them and/or their respective counsel has reviewed and had an opportunity to revise this Agreement and, therefore, the normal rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party will not be employed in the interpretation of this Agreement or any amendments hereto. The language used in this Agreement will be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties to express their mutual intent, and no rules of strict construction will be applied against any party.
G. Further Assurances. Each party will take all further actions and execute all further documents as may be reasonably necessary to implement the provisions and carry out the intent of this Agreement fully and effectively.
H. Ratification. Except as expressly provided herein, the Notes, Agreements, Certificates, Preferred Stock, and Transaction Documents are hereby ratified and affirmed in all respects, and remain in full force and effect. Except as expressly provided herein, the execution of this Agreement shall not operate as a waiver of any right, power or remedy of Investor, constitute a waiver of any provision of any of the Notes, Agreements, Certificates or any Transaction Document or serve to effect a novation of the obligations under the Notes, Agreements, Certificates or any Transaction Document. All of the obligations of Camber under this Agreement will constitute Secured Obligations under all of the Notes. Except as expressly provided herein, the Notes, Agreements, Certificates, Preferred Stock and all Transaction Documents between Camber and Investor shall continue in full force and effect and nothing herein shall act as a waiver of any of Investor’s rights under any of the foregoing, or serve to effect a novation of the obligations thereunder. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing provided for in Section I above shall in any way effect any rights of any Affiliate of Investor with regard to any documents, instruments or securities held by any such Affiliate.

I. Execution. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, all of which when taken together will be considered one and the same agreement and will become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the other party, it being understood that both parties need not sign the same counterpart. In the event that any signature is delivered by portable document format, facsimile or electronic transmission, such signature will create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such signature page were an original thereof.
J. Entire Agreement. This Agreement contains the entire agreement and understanding of the parties, and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements, term sheets, letters, discussions, communications and understandings, both oral and written, which the parties acknowledge have been merged into this Agreement. No party, representative, advisor, attorney or agent has relied upon any collateral contract, agreement, assurance, promise, understanding, statement or representation not expressly set forth herein or in the Notes, Purchase Agreements or Transaction Documents. The parties hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably waive all rights and remedies, at law and in equity, directly or indirectly arising out of or relating to, or which may arise as a result of, any Person’s reliance on any such statement or assurance.
