        commitment to acting in the long-term interests of our stockholders, this cooperation and support agreement continues the significant progress the Company has made over the past year toward strengthening and streamlining both our governance and

      <div style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 10pt;">Mr. Sherwood added, &#8220;As a significant Barnwell stockholder, I&#8217;m gratified that the Board of Directors will be unchanged from last year and be able
        to continue its efforts to move the Company forward.&#160; I&#8217;m pleased that Barnwell&#8217;s share price rose 370% from $.56 on April 3, 2020 to $2.06 per share as of the close on January 25, 2021.&#160; We are hopeful that the momentum builds in 2021 given the
        current appreciation in the price of oil, the increased velocity in Hawaiian land sales, and the stability of the water drilling business.&#160; The agreement that we have forged with the Company should avoid distraction and unnecessary expense allowing
        our Board to continue to position Barnwell for long term positive cash generation and further share price appreciation.&#8221;</div>

          commitment to acting in the long-term interests of our stockholders, this cooperation and support agreement continues the significant progress the Company has made over the past year toward strengthening and streamlining both our governance and
          operations.&#8221;</div>

        <div style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 10pt;">Mr. Sherwood added, &#8220;As a significant Barnwell stockholder, I&#8217;m gratified that the Board of Directors will be unchanged from last year and be able
          to continue its efforts to move the Company forward.&#160; I&#8217;m pleased that Barnwell&#8217;s share price rose 370% from $.56 on April 3, 2020 to $2.06 per share as of the close on January 25, 2021.&#160; We are hopeful that the momentum builds in 2021 given the
          current appreciation in the price of oil, the increased velocity in Hawaiian land sales, and the stability of the water drilling business.&#160; The agreement that we have forged with the Company should avoid distraction and unnecessary expense
          allowing our Board to continue to position Barnwell for long term positive cash generation and further share price appreciation.&#8221;</div>
