Agreement</I></B><I>. </I>On March&nbsp;9, 2016, Gulfport Energy Corporation (&#147;Gulfport&#148;) entered into an underwriting agreement with Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC, as representative of the several underwriters (the
&#147;Underwriters&#148;) named therein (the &#147;Underwriting Agreement&#148;). The Underwriting Agreement relates to the public offering of 14,700,000 shares of Gulfport&#146;s common stock (the &#147;Firm Share Offering&#148;) at a public
offering price of $25.25 per share. Pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, the Underwriters were granted a 30-day option (the &#147;Option&#148;) to purchase a maximum of 2,205,000 additional shares of common stock from Gulfport at the public
offering price (less the underwriting discount), which Option was exercised in full by the Underwriters on March&nbsp;11, 2016 (the &#147;Optional Share Offering&#148; and, together with the Firm Share Offering, the &#147;Offering&#148;). In
connection with the Firm Share Offering and the Underwriters&#146; exercise of the Option, the Underwriters have agreed to reimburse Gulfport for an aggregate of approximately $296,500 of Gulfport&#146;s transactional expenses. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Gulfport estimates that its net proceeds from the sale of the aggregate of 16,905,000 shares in the Offering will be approximately $411.9
million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses. Gulfport intends to use the net proceeds from the Offering primarily to fund a portion of its 2017 capital development plan and for general corporate
purposes. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Offering was made pursuant to Gulfport&#146;s effective automatic shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File
No.&nbsp;333-192113), filed with the SEC on November&nbsp;6, 2013 (the &#147;Shelf Registration Statement&#148;), and a prospectus, which consists of a base prospectus, filed with the SEC on November&nbsp;6, 2013, a preliminary prospectus
supplement, filed with the SEC on March&nbsp;9, 2016, and a prospectus supplement, filed with the SEC on March&nbsp;11, 2016 (collectively, the &#147;Prospectus&#148;). </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Certain of the Underwriters and their affiliates have performed investment and commercial banking and advisory services for Gulfport and its
affiliates from time to time for which they have received customary fees and expenses. In addition, an affiliate of Scotia Capital (USA) Inc. acts as administrative agent, letter of credit issuer and sole lead manager and affiliates of each of
Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC, Scotia Capital (USA) Inc., Barclays Capital Inc., KeyBanc Capital Markets Inc., Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, BBVA Securities Inc., BNP Paribas Securities Corp. and PNC Capital Markets LLC act as lenders under
Gulfport&#146;s secured revolving credit facility. An affiliate of IBERIA Capital Partners L.L.C. also acts as a lender under Gulfport&#146;s secured revolving credit facility and provides depository and treasury management services for Gulfport.
Associated Investment Services, Inc. (AIS), a Financial Industry Regulatory Authority member and a subsidiary of Associated Banc-Corp, is being paid a referral fee by Samuel A. Ramirez&nbsp;&amp; Company, Inc. Additionally, ZB, N.A. dba Amegy Bank,
a lender under Gulfport&#146;s secured revolving credit facility, has acted as a financial advisor to Gulfport in connection with the Offering and not as an Underwriter, and will receive fees in connection therewith. </P>

commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under subsection (a) or (b)&nbsp;above, notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof; but the failure to
notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have under subsection (a) or (b)&nbsp;above except to the extent that it has been materially prejudiced (through the forfeiture of substantive rights or defenses) by
such failure; and provided further that the failure to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have to an indemnified party otherwise than under subsection (a) or (b) above. In case any such action is
brought against any indemnified party and it notifies the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it may wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party
similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party (who shall not, except with the consent of the indemnified party, be counsel to the indemnifying party), and after notice from the indemnifying
party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party under this Section for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party
in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened action in respect of
which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party unless such settlement (i)&nbsp;includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on any
claims that are the subject matter of such action and (ii)&nbsp;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. </P>

insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under subsection (a) or (b)&nbsp;above, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or
liabilities referred to in subsection (a) or (b)&nbsp;above (i)&nbsp;in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other from the offering of the Offered
Securities pursuant to this Agreement or (ii)&nbsp;if the allocation provided by clause (i)&nbsp;above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause
(i)&nbsp;above but also the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities as well as any other relevant
equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses) received
by the Company bear to the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Underwriters. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or
the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or the Underwriters and the parties&#146; relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue
statement or omission. The amount paid by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to in the first sentence of this subsection (d)&nbsp;shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably
incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any action or claim which is the subject of this subsection (d). Notwithstanding the provisions of this subsection (d), no Underwriter shall be required to contribute
any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which the Securities 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 untrue statement or omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section&nbsp;11(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to contribution
from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Underwriters&#146; obligations in this subsection (d)&nbsp;to contribute are several in proportion to their respective underwriting obligations and not joint. The Company
and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section&nbsp;8(d) were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Underwriters were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other
method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in this Section&nbsp;8(d). </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">9. <I>Default of

<B>Steven</B><B>&nbsp;</B><B>R. Baldwin</B>, Vice President of Reservoir Engineering of the Company, do hereby certify as follows: </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">1. As
Vice President of Reservoir Engineering of the Company, for each of the years ended December&nbsp;31, 2013, 2014 and 2015, I have had primary supervisory responsibility for the preparation of internal reports (collectively the &#147;Reports&#148;)
of the estimates of proved reserves and related future net revenues, to the Company&#146;s interest, for each of (i)&nbsp;the Company&#146;s interest in the Bakken Play and (ii)&nbsp;certain other minor interests in various states. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">2. I am familiar with the standards pertaining to the estimating and auditing of oil and gas reserve information promulgated by the Securities
and Exchange Commission (the &#147;SEC&#148;), as in effect at each of the year ends of the respective reports. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">3. The estimates of the
Company&#146;s proved reserves contained in each of the Reports, and the computations made in connection therewith, were made in accordance with the provisions of Rule 4-10 of Regulation&nbsp;S-X promulgated by the SEC and have been prepared in a
manner consistent and in compliance with such other published interpretations and criteria pertaining to the estimation of proved oil and gas reserves and related future net revenues promulgated by the SEC, as such Rule was in effect and as such
interpretations and criteria were published as of the year end date to which the Report relates. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">4. The engineering estimates were based
on the latest production data available at the time of the estimates, usually through November or December of the year end to which the Report relates. As of the date of this letter, no additional information has been brought to my attention which
would lead me to believe that there would be a material downward change in the estimated proved reserves at December&nbsp;31, 2015 attributable to the Company&#146;s interests other than as a result of pricing changes and production since
December&nbsp;31, 2015. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">5. I have reviewed the circled reserve information related to certain of the Company&#146;s proved reserves
derived from the Reports on pages attached hereto as Exhibit&nbsp;A from the Company&#146;s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 and Exhibit 99.1 thereto and from a spreadsheet reconciling such information contained in the
Form 10-K and Exhibit 99.1 thereto with the Company&#146;s proved reserves contained in the Reports. I confirm that such circled information has been accurately derived from the Reports. </P>

the pricing of an underwritten public offering of 14,700,000 shares of its common stock at a price to the public of $25.25 per share. The 14,700,000 share offering represents a 700,000 share upsize to the originally proposed 14,000,000 share
offering. The underwriters have a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 2,205,000 shares from Gulfport at the public offering price per share (less the underwriting discount). The offering is expected to close on March 15, 2016, subject to
customary closing conditions. Net proceeds to Gulfport from the sale of the 14,700,000 shares will be approximately $358.0 million, after deducting underwriting discounts, commissions and estimated offering expenses. Gulfport intends to use the net
proceeds from this offering primarily to fund a portion of its 2017 capital development plan and for general corporate purposes. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Credit Suisse Securities
