INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT

      THIS INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT (this "Agreement") is made this ____ day of
September, 2006, between Evolution Petroleum Corporation, a Nevada corporation
(the "Company"), and _______________________, an individual ("Indemnitee").

                                    RECITALS

      WHEREAS, Indemnitee is either a member of the board of directors ("Board"
or "Board of Directors"), an officer, an employee or an agent of the Company, or
more than one of such positions, or is serving at the request of the Company as
a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership,
joint venture, trust or other enterprise, and in such capacity or capacities is
performing a valuable service for the Company;

      WHEREAS, the Corporation has adopted bylaws ("Bylaws") providing for the
indemnification of the officers, directors, employees and agents of the Company
or individuals serving at the request of the Company as directors, officers,
employees or agents of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or
other enterprise; ("Covered Persons");

      WHEREAS, the Bylaws and Nevada Revised Statute ("NRS") Sections 78.751 and
78.7502 (the "State Statutes") specifically provide that they are not exclusive,
and thereby contemplate that agreements may be entered into between the Company
and a Covered Person with respect to indemnification of such Covered Person;

      WHEREAS, Indemnitee is willing to serve, to continue to serve, and to take
on additional service for and on behalf of the Company on the condition that
Indemnitee is indemnified as set forth in this Agreement;

      WHEREAS, it is intended that Indemnitee shall be paid promptly by the
Company all amounts necessary to effectuate in full the indemnity provided in
this Agreement; and

      WHEREAS, to induce Indemnitee to continue to serve as a director, officer,
employee or agent, the Company has determined and agreed to enter into this
Agreement with Indemnitee.

      NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of Indemnitee's continued service as a
director or officer of the Company after the date hereof, and for other good and
valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby
acknowledged, the Company and Indemnitee hereby agree as follows:
<PAGE>

                                    AGREEMENT

      1. Indemnification of Indemnitee. The Company hereby agrees to hold
harmless and indemnify Indemnitee to the fullest extent authorized or permitted
by the provisions of the State Statutes, or any successor statute or amendment
thereof, or any other statutory provisions authorizing or permitting such
indemnification that is adopted after the date of this Agreement.

      2. Additional Indemnity. Subject only to the exclusions set forth in
Section 3 of this Agreement, the Company hereby further agrees to hold harmless,
indemnify and defend Indemnitee:

            (a) against any and all expenses (including fees for attorneys,
accountants, private investigators, court and transcript costs, fees and
expenses of witnesses, travel expenses and all other like disbursements or
expenses reasonably incurred by or for Indemnitee), judgments damages, fines,
penalties and amounts paid in settlement (including all interest assessments and
other charges paid or payable in connection with or in respect of such judgment,
fines, penalties, or amounts paid in settlement) actually and reasonably
incurred by or for Indemnitee in connection with any threatened, pending or
completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or
investigative (including an action by or in the right of the Company)(a "Covered
Action") to which Indemnitee is made a party as a result of the fact that at the
time of the act or omission which is the subject matter of such Covered Action
the Indemnitee was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company, and

            (b) otherwise to the fullest extent as may be provided to Indemnitee
by the Company under the non-exclusivity provisions the Bylaws of the Company
and the State Statutes. The provisions of this Agreement are in addition to, and
not in limitation of, the provisions of such Bylaws and the State Statutes.

      3. Limitations on Additional Indemnity. No indemnity pursuant to Sections
1 and 2 of this Agreement shall be paid by the Company to the extent that:

            (a) payment therefor is actually made to Indemnitee under a valid
and collectible insurance policy or policies, except with respect to any excess
amount due to Indemnitee beyond the amount of payment to Indemnitee under such
insurance policy or policies. Notwithstanding the availability of such insurance
policy or policies, Indemnitee also may claim indemnification from the Company
pursuant to this Agreement by assigning to the Company in writing any claims of
Indemnitee under such insurance policy or policies to the extent of the amount
Indemnitee is paid by the Company;

            (b) Indemnitee is indemnified by the Company otherwise than pursuant
to this Agreement;

            (c) final judgment is rendered against Indemnitee for the payment of
dividends or other distributions to stockholders of the Company in violation of
the provisions of Subsection 2 of Nevada Revised Statutes ss. 78.300, as
amended;

                                       2
<PAGE>

            (d) final judgment is rendered against Indemnitee for an accounting
of profits made from the purchase or sale by Indemnitee of securities of the
Company pursuant to the provisions of Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended (the "Act"), or other similar provisions of any federal,
state or local statutory law;

            (e) Indemnitee's conduct giving rise to the claim for
indemnification is finally adjudged by a court of competent jurisdiction to have
been a breach of fiduciary duty which involved intentional misconduct, fraud or
a knowing violation of the law; and/or

            (f) except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, in connection
with all or any part of a suit or other proceeding which is initiated or
maintained by or on behalf of Indemnitee, or any suit or other proceeding by
Indemnitee against the Company or its directors, officers, employees or other
agents, unless (i) such indemnification is expressly required by Nevada law;
(ii) the suit or other proceeding was expressly authorized by an official act of
the Board of Directors of the Company or (iii) such indemnification is provided
by the Company, in its sole discretion, pursuant to the powers vested in the
Company under Nevada law.

      4. Continuation of Indemnity. All agreements and obligations of the
Company contained in this Agreement shall continue during the period Indemnitee
is a Covered Person, and shall continue thereafter for so long as Indemnitee
shall be subject to any possible claim or threatened, pending or completed
action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or
investigative, by reason of the fact that Indemnitee was a Covered Person.

      5. Advancement of Expenses. In the event Indemnitee incurs costs or
expenses in connection with the defense of any such civil, criminal,
administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding (including any costs
or expenses incurred for any appeal therefor), the Company agrees to pay such
costs or expenses as they are incurred and in advance of the final disposition
of the action, suit or proceeding within 30 calendar days of submission of bills
or vouchers for such costs or expenses, provided that Indemnitee delivers to
Company prior to such payment a written undertaking by or on behalf of
Indemnitee to repay the amount paid by the Company if it is ultimately
determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that Indemnitee is not entitled
to be indemnified by the Company. By such undertaking, Indemnitee agrees to
reimburse the Company for all amounts paid by the Company in defending such
civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding
against Indemnitee, including amounts paid in settlement, in the event and only
to the extent that it is ultimately determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction that Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company
for such expenses under the provisions of the State Statute, Bylaws, this
Agreement or otherwise. However, in the case of an action brought against
Indemnitee by the Company pursuant to the provisions of Section 16(b) of the
Act, or other similar provisions of any federal, state or local statutory law
for an accounting of profits made from the purchase or sale by Indemnitee of
securities of the Company, Indemnitee's costs and expenses will not be advanced
unless such advancement is approved by the Board of Directors by a majority vote
of a quorum consisting of directors who are not parties to the action, suit or
proceeding, or, if such a quorum cannot be obtained, by independent legal
counsel in a written opinion that such indemnification is proper in the
circumstances.

      6. Presumptions and Effect on Certain Proceedings. Upon making a request
for indemnification, Indemnitee shall be presumed to be entitled to
indemnification under this Agreement. The termination of any action, suit or
proceeding by judgment, order, settlement, arbitration award, conviction or by a
plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent shall not affect this presumption
except as may be provided in Section 3 of this Agreement.

                                       3

      7. Notification and Defense of Claim. Promptly after receipt by Indemnitee
of notice of the commencement of any action, suit or proceeding, if a request
with respect thereto is to be made against the Company under this Agreement,
Indemnitee shall notify the Company of the commencement thereof; but the failure
by Indemnitee to notify the Company will not relieve the Company of any
liability which it may have to Indemnitee under this Agreement or otherwise.
With respect to any such action, suit or proceeding as to which Indemnitee
notifies the Company as required herein:

            (a) The Company shall be entitled to participate therein at its own
expense; and

            (b) Except as otherwise provided below, to the extent that it may
wish, the Company, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified,
shall be entitled to assume the defense of Indemnitee with counsel reasonably
satisfactory to Indemnitee. After notice from the Company to Indemnitee of its
election to assume the defense of Indemnitee in the action, suit or proceeding,
the Company will not be liable to Indemnitee under this Agreement for any legal
or other expenses subsequently incurred by Indemnitee in connection with the
defense thereof, other than reasonable costs of investigation or as otherwise
provided below. Indemnitee shall have the right to employ its own counsel in
such action, suit or proceeding, but the fees and expenses of such counsel
incurred after notice from the Company of its assumption of the defense shall be
at the sole expense of Indemnitee unless (i) the employment of counsel by
Indemnitee at the Company's expense has been authorized in writing by the
Company; (ii) Indemnitee shall have reasonably concluded, upon advice of counsel
experienced in such matters, that there may be a conflict of interest between
the Company and Indemnitee in the conduct of the defense of such action; or
(iii) the Company shall not in fact have employed counsel to assume the defense
of such action, suit or proceeding. In each such instance set forth in (i)
through (iii) of this paragraph (b), the reasonable cost of Indemnitee's counsel
shall be borne by the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall
not be entitled to assume the defense of any action, suit or proceeding brought
against Indemnitee by or on behalf of the Company or as to which Indemnitee
shall have reasonably made the conclusion provided in (ii) above.

            (c) The Company shall not be liable to indemnify Indemnitee under
this Agreement for any amounts paid in settlement of any action or claim
effected without the Company's prior written consent. The Company shall not
settle any action or claim in any manner that would impose any penalty or
limitation on Indemnitee without Indemnitee's prior written consent. Neither the
Company nor Indemnitee will unreasonably withhold consent to any proposed
settlement.

      8. Enforcement.

            (a) The Company expressly confirms and agrees that it has entered
into this Agreement and assumed the obligations imposed on the Company hereby in
order to induce Indemnitee to continue as a Covered Person, and acknowledges
that Indemnitee is relying on this Agreement in continuing in such capacity.

                                       4
<PAGE>

            (b) In the event Indemnitee is required to bring any action to
enforce his or her rights or to collect moneys due under this Agreement, the
Company shall advance Indemnitee all of Indemnitee's reasonable fees and
expenses in bringing and pursuing such action. Indemnitee shall be responsible
for reimbursement to the Company of such advance in the event that Indemnitee is
not successful in such action.

      9. No Employment Rights. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to confer
on Indemnitee any right to continue in the employ of the Company for any period
of time or to interfere with or otherwise restrict in any way the rights of the
Company or of Indemnitee, which rights are hereby expressly reserved by each, to
terminate Indemnitee's service at any time and for any reason, with or without
cause, except as may be provided otherwise in an agreement, if any, between the
Company and Indemnitee.

      10. Severability. Each of the provisions of this Agreement are separate
and distinct and independent of one another, so that if any provision of this
Agreement shall be held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or
unenforceable for any reason, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not
effect the validity or enforceability of the other provisions of this Agreement.
If any provision of this Agreement is so held to be invalid or unenforceable,
the parties agree that the court making such determination shall have the power
to amend such provision or to delete specific words or phrases so that such
provision shall then be enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law
unless such change is contrary to the intent of the parties hereto.

      11. Subrogation. In the event of payment to Indemnitee under this
Agreement, the Company shall be subrogated to the extent of the amount of such
payment to all rights of recovery of Indemnitee, who shall execute all papers
required and shall do everything that may be necessary or reasonable to secure
such rights, including, without limitation, the execution of such documents
necessary or reasonable to enable the Company to effectively bring suit to
enforce such rights.

      12. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in
accordance with, the laws of the State of Nevada without resort to conflict of
laws principles.

      13. Binding Effect; Amendment. This Agreement shall be binding on the
parties, their heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns, and
shall inure to the benefit of Indemnitee, his or her heirs, personal
representatives and assigns, and to the benefit of the Company, its successors
and assigns. No amendment, modification, termination or cancellation of this
Agreement shall be effective unless in a writing signed by both parties.

      14. Notices. All notices, requests, demands and other communications
hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given (i)
when delivered by hand and receipted for by the party to whom said communication
shall have been directed or (ii), if mailed by certified or registered mail with
postage prepaid, on the third business day after the date on which said
communication is so mailed and addressed to the appropriate party at the
following address:

    Re:
      Initial Public Offering

    

    Gentlemen:

    

    The
      undersigned officer and director of Fortissimo Acquisition Corp. (“Company”), in
      consideration of EarlyBirdCapital, Inc. (“EBC”) entering into a letter of intent
      (“Letter of Intent”) to underwrite an initial public offering of the securities
      of the Company (“IPO”) and embarking on the IPO process, hereby agrees as
      follows (certain capitalized terms used herein are defined in paragraph 10
      hereof): 

    

    
      	 	
              1.

            	
              In
                the event that the Company fails to consummate a Business Combination
                within 24 months from the effective date (“Effective Date”) of the
                registration statement relating to the IPO, the undersigned will
                (i) cause
                the Trust Fund (as defined in the Letter of Intent) to be liquidated
                and
                distributed to the holders of IPO Shares and (ii) take all reasonable
                actions within his power to cause the Company to liquidate as soon
                as
                reasonably practicable. The undersigned hereby waives any and all
                right,
                title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any distribution of
                the
                Trust Fund and any remaining net assets of the Company as a result
                of such
                liquidation with respect to his Insider Shares (“Claim”) and hereby waives
                any Claim the undersigned may have in the future as a result of,
                or
                arising out of, any contracts or agreements with the Company and
                will not
                seek recourse against the Trust Fund for any reason whatsoever. In
                the
                event of the liquidation of the Trust Fund, the undersigned agrees
                to
                indemnify and hold harmless the Company, jointly and severally with
                Eli
                Blatt, Marc Lesnick, Shmoulik Barashi and Yochai Hacohen, against
                any and
                all loss, liability, claims, damage and expense whatsoever (including,
                but
                not limited to, any and all legal or other expenses reasonably incurred
                in
                investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, whether
                pending or threatened, or any claim whatsoever) which the Company
                may
                become subject as a result of any claim by any vendor or other person
                who
                is owed money by the Company for services rendered or products sold
                or
                contracted for, or by any target business, but only to the extent
                necessary to ensure that such loss, liability, claim, damage or expense
                does not reduce the amount in the Trust Fund.

            

    

    
      	 	
              2.

            	
              In
                order to minimize potential conflicts of interest which may arise
                from
                multiple affiliations, the undersigned agrees to present to the Company
                for its consideration, prior to presentation to any other person
                or
                entity, any suitable opportunity to acquire an operating business,
                until
                the earlier of the consummation by the Company of a Business Combination,
                the liquidation of the Company or until such time as the undersigned
                ceases to be an officer or director of the Company, subject to any
                pre-existing fiduciary and contractual obligations the undersigned
                might
                have.

            

    

    
      	 	
              3.

            	
              The
                undersigned acknowledges and agrees that the Company will not consummate
                any Business Combination which involves a company which is affiliated
                with
                any of the Insiders unless the Company obtains an opinion from an
                independent investment banking firm reasonably acceptable to EBC
                that the
                business combination is fair to the Company’s stockholders from a
                financial perspective.

            

    

    
      	 	
              4.

            	
              Neither
                the undersigned, any member of the family of the undersigned, nor
                any
                affiliate (“Affiliate”) of the undersigned will be entitled to receive and
                will not accept any compensation for services rendered to the Company
                prior to or in connection with the consummation of the Business
                Combination; provided that commencing on the Effective Date, Fortissimo
                Capital Management Ltd. ("Related Party"), shall be allowed to charge
                the
                Company $7,500 per month, representing an allocable share of Related
                Party's overhead, to compensate it for the Company's use of Related
                Party's offices, utilities and personnel. Related Party and the
                undersigned shall also be entitled to reimbursement from the Company
                for
                their out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with seeking
                and

                process
                in the State of New York to receive, for the undersigned and on his
                behalf, service of process in any Proceeding. If for any reason such
                agent
                is unable to act as such, the undersigned will promptly notify the
                Company

                right of
                either party to serve process in any other manner permitted by
                law.
