2.2 Closing

(a) Subject to all other provisions of this Agreement, Closing shall take place at the Closing Place at the Closing Time.

(b) Subject to all other provisions of this Agreement, title to, and beneficial ownership, risk and possession of, the Assets shall pass from Vendor to Purchaser upon Closing.

16

2.3 Form of Payment

All payments to be made pursuant to this Agreement shall be made in immediately available funds by wire.

2.4 Purchase Price

(a) The consideration to be paid by Purchaser to Vendor for the Assets (the "Base Purchase Price") shall be Seven Hundred Million Dollars ($700,000,000), subject to adjustment as set forth herein.

(b) Concurrently with execution of this Agreement, Purchaser shall pay to the Escrow Agent the sum of [Redaction - dollar amount], as a good faith deposit to be applied against the Closing Purchase Price on Closing (the "Deposit"). Concurrently with payment of the Deposit, the Parties shall enter into the Deposit Escrow Agreement with the Escrow Agent. The Deposit shall be held by the Escrow Agent in an interest bearing account pursuant to the provisions hereof and the Deposit Escrow Agreement. If the Purchaser, in breach of this Agreement, does not close the purchase of the Assets, or if Closing does not occur due to one or more of Vendor's conditions in Clause 3.2(a)(i), Clause 3.2(a)(ii) and Clause 3.2(a)(iii) not having been satisfied, and such unsatisfied conditions have not been waived by Vendor, the Deposit and interest earned thereon shall be forfeited to Vendor for Vendor's own account absolutely as liquidated damages and not as a penalty as a result of Closing not occurring, which forfeiture of the Deposit shall constitute Vendor's sole remedy in such instance, with no right to claim further damages or other remedies from Purchaser. If Closing does not occur for any reason other than as aforesaid, the Deposit and interest earned thereon shall be returned forthwith to the Purchaser. If Closing occurs, the Deposit shall be released and paid over to the Vendor as partial satisfaction of the Closing Purchase Price and the payment obligation of the Purchaser hereunder and, in addition, interest earned on the Deposit shall be paid to Vendor.

(c) At the Closing Time Purchaser shall pay to Vendor an amount equal to the Base Purchase Price, less the Deposit, plus or minus, as the case may be, the net amount set forth in the Closing Statement, plus interest on the Base Purchase Price pursuant to Clause 2.4(e) (collectively, the "Closing Purchase Price").

(d) The Closing Purchase Price shall be allocated among the Assets as follows:

(i) to the Petroleum and Natural Gas Rights, 80%;

(ii) to the Tangibles, 20% less One Dollar ($1.00); and

(iii) to the Miscellaneous Interests, One Dollar ($1.00).

In the determination of the Base Purchase Price payable for the Assets, the Vendor and the Purchaser are in agreement that the extent and value of past, present and future environmental, abandonment or reclamation liabilities related to the Assets is unknown as of the Closing Date, and the Vendor and Purchaser have not attributed a specific or agreed to value with regard to either (A) such liabilities, or (B) the indemnities provided for in this Agreement, nor shall there be any adjustments made to the Base Purchase Price in relation thereto.

(e) At Closing, Purchaser shall pay to Vendor an amount equal to: (i) the interest that would have accrued at the Prime Rate on the Base Purchase Price, calculated daily and not compounded, from and including the Effective Time to and including the day prior to the day of payment of the Deposit; plus (ii) the interest that would have accrued at the Prime Rate on the Base Purchase Price, adjusted in accordance with Clause 2.6(a), less the Deposit, calculated daily and not compounded, from and including the day of payment of the Deposit to and including the day prior to the Closing Date, which amount shall constitute an increase to the Closing Purchase Price and shall be allocated to the Petroleum and Natural Gas Rights.

17

2.5 GST and Other Sales Taxes

(a) The Closing Purchase Price does not include an amount on account of GST or any Other Sales Taxes payable in respect of the Transaction.

If the election is not available to the parties for any reason, Vendor shall invoice Purchaser for the GST associated with the transfer of the Assets and Purchaser will pay the GST to Vendor, as well as any interest or penalties for which Vendor is liable as a result of having made the election hereunder.

(c) At the Closing Time, Purchaser shall pay to Vendor any Other Sales Taxes that are payable in respect of the Transaction. However, if, after Closing, it is determined that additional Other Sales Taxes are, in fact, payable in respect of the Transaction, then, as provided in Clause 2.5(d), Purchaser shall pay such Other Sales Taxes promptly after receiving notice or otherwise becoming aware that such Other Sales Taxes are payable in respect of the Transaction and Purchaser shall indemnify, defend and save harmless Vendor and all Vendor Related Persons in respect of all such Other Sales Taxes payable in respect of the Transaction and any interest and penalties levied or imposed in connection therewith, except to the extent that such penalty, interest or other amounts payable by Vendor is the result of any act or omission by Vendor (other than the failure of Vendor to collect such Other Sales Taxes at Closing).

(d) The Parties agree that, as between Vendor and Purchaser, Purchaser shall be solely liable for and Purchaser shall indemnify, defend and keep harmless Vendor from any GST, penalty, interest or other amounts which may be payable by or assessed against Vendor under the GST Legislation or any Losses and Liabilities suffered, sustained, paid or incurred by Vendor or any of its Related Persons or any Claims made against Vendor or any of its Related Persons as a result of or in connection with the failure by Purchaser to pay or Vendor to collect or remit any GST at Closing, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if subsequent to Closing, the section 167 election is rejected or overturned by the Minister of National Revenue, then Purchaser shall pay the GST that is determined to be payable in respect of the transfer of the Assets, including any interest and penalties payable in respect thereof. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, this indemnity shall survive indefinitely.

2.6 Adjustments

(a) All benefits and obligations of any kind or nature received, accruing, payable or paid in respect of the Assets, including maintenance, development, capital and operating costs, royalties and proceeds from the sale of production, shall be apportioned between Vendor and Purchaser on an accrual basis in accordance with GAAP as of the Effective Time, subject to the following:

(v) Petroleum Substances that were produced from or allocated to the Assets and that were beyond the wellhead as of the Effective Time do not comprise part of the Assets and shall remain the property of, and be for the benefit and the account of, Vendor;

(vi) no adjustments shall be made on account of any taxes calculated by reference to or assessed based on income, net revenue or capital that are payable by Vendor or Purchaser; and

(vii) all payments that are to be reported pursuant to ESTMA or similar extractive sector transparency legislation, shall be reported on a cash payment basis.

Except as provided in Clause 2.6(g), no further adjustments shall be made between the Parties after settlement of the adjustments set forth in the Final Statement of Adjustments.

If Purchaser does not notify Vendor of any proposed change on or before the Objection Date, then Purchaser shall be deemed to have accepted the Final Statement of Adjustments.

(f) If Purchaser gives written notice to Vendor of any proposed change to the Final Statement of Adjustments on or before the Objection Date, and if the proposed change is disputed by Vendor and the Parties fail to resolve the dispute within ten (10) Business Days after receipt by the Vendor of such notice, then the Accounting Firm shall be immediately engaged by the Parties to resolve the dispute and the Accounting Firm shall be requested to render its decision without qualifications, other than the usual qualifications relating to engagements of this nature, within fourteen (14) Business Days after the dispute is referred to it. The decision of the Accounting Firm shall be final and binding upon the Parties and shall not be subject to appeal by either Party.

(ii) as a consequence of an audit relating to the Assets that was conducted by a Third Party (other than a Governmental Authority) having rights to do so pursuant to the Title and Operating Documents, but only if a claim in respect of such an audit is made by one Party to the other Party within two (2) years after Closing. If such notice is not given within such period, no adjustment in this regard shall be made; or

(iii) an audit initiated by a Governmental Authority, but only if a claim in respect of such an audit is made by one Party to the other Party within four (4) years after Closing. If such notice is not given within such period, no adjustment in this regard shall be made.

(a) Promptly after acquiring knowledge of the subject matter of the Claim or the Losses and Liabilities in respect of which the claim for indemnification is to be made (an "Indemnified Matter"), the Claiming Party shall provide notice thereof to the Indemnifying Party, provided that, failure to give such notice will not limit or lessen the right of the Claiming Party to indemnity under this Agreement except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is prejudiced in its contest or defence of the Indemnified Matter as a result of such failure. Such notice shall describe the nature of the Indemnified Matter in reasonable detail and indicate, if reasonably ascertainable, the Claiming Party's good faith estimate of the amount for which the Indemnifying Party may be liable under this Agreement in respect of such Indemnified Matter.

(b) If the Indemnified Matter relates to a Claim made or brought by a Third Party:

35

(i) The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to participate in or to elect to assume control of the defence or dispute of any such Claim. Any such participation in or assumption of control of the defence or dispute of the Claim shall be at the Indemnifying Party's own expense and use counsel chosen by the Indemnifying Party. The Claiming Party shall provide all reasonable assistance that the Indemnifying Party may reasonably request in connection with such defence or dispute.

(ii) The Claiming Party shall have the right to participate in the defence or dispute of any such Indemnified Matter using counsel of its own choice if representation of both the Claiming Party and the Indemnifying Party by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to conflicting interests of the two Parties, including Claims that would be partially excluded from indemnification by the Indemnifying Party by virtue of another provision of this Agreement. The Indemnifying Party shall be liable for the costs of such additional counsel retained by the Claiming Party, but only to the extent that such costs pertain to the defence or dispute of the Indemnified Matter.

(iii) The Claiming Party shall not settle or compromise, or propose to settle or compromise, any such Indemnified Matter without first obtaining the consent of the Indemnifying Party, provided that, such consent shall not be required if: (A) the Indemnifying Party denies or disputes that the particular Claim constitutes an Indemnified Matter and refuses to take responsibility for the defence or dispute thereof as provided above; (B) the Indemnifying Party fails to respond to any notice of the Indemnified Matter given by the Claiming Party in accordance with Clause 6.7(a) within fifteen (15) days of receipt thereof by the Indemnifying Party; or (C) the Indemnifying Party either refuses or fails to defend or dispute such Indemnified Matter after assuming responsibility for the defence or dispute thereof as provided above. In each such a case, the Claiming Party shall be entitled to defend, dispute, settle or compromise such a Claim by a Third Party in any manner it determines to be appropriate, acting reasonably and in good faith, subject to any limitations set forth in this Agreement.

(c) If the Indemnified Matter relates to Losses and Liabilities directly suffered, sustained, paid or incurred by the Claiming Party or any of the Claiming Party's Related Persons, the Indemnifying Party shall respond to the Claiming Party as to whether the Indemnifying Party accepts liability for such Indemnified Matter within thirty (30) days of receipt of the Claiming Party's notice given in accordance with Clause 6.7(a) and:

(i) if the Indemnifying Party does not respond within such thirty (30) day period, the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have accepted its liability for such Indemnified Matter;

(ii) if the Indemnifying Party accepts its liability for such Indemnified Matter, the Indemnifying Party shall discharge its liability to indemnify the Claiming Party within ten (10) days after the end of the initial thirty (30) day notice period; and

(iii) if the Indemnifying Party disputes whether the particular Losses and Liabilities constitute an Indemnified Matter or the amount of such Losses or Liabilities for which the Indemnifying Party is liable within such thirty (30) day period, or if the Indemnifying Party accepts or is deemed to have accepted liability for such Indemnified Matter, but fails to discharge such liability within the specified period, the Claiming Party shall be free to seek to enforce its right to indemnification in respect of such Indemnified Matter under this Agreement in any manner that it deems appropriate.

36

(d) If the Indemnifying Party has paid an amount in respect of an Indemnified Matter pursuant to this Agreement, then: (i) the Indemnifying Party will be subrogated to all and any Claims that the Claiming Party may have relating thereto without any further action; (ii) the Claiming Party, without limiting its rights to the indemnity under this Agreement, shall provide any reasonable assistance that the Indemnifying Party may reasonably request in order to permit the Indemnifying Party to pursue such Claims; and (iii) if the Claiming Party is subsequently reimbursed by any Person or from any source other than the Indemnifying Party in respect of the Indemnified Matter, the Claiming Party shall promptly pay to the Indemnifying Party any such amounts so received by it, up to the amount received from the Indemnifying Party in respect of such Indemnified Matter.

(b) Vendor shall issue notices to the Third Parties holding Identified ROFRs (the "ROFR Holders") in accordance with the applicable provisions of such rights no later than five (5) Business Days after it receives the value allocations relating to the Assets affected by each such Identified ROFR from Purchaser as provided in Clause 7.1(a).

(c) Vendor shall notify Purchaser in writing forthwith upon receipt of notice from any Third Party exercising or waiving any Identified ROFRs for which notices were issued pursuant to Clause 7.1(b).

(d) Vendor shall comply with the terms of each of the Identified ROFRs exercised by the holders thereof by selling and conveying to such holders the portion of the Assets which are subject to such exercised Identified ROFR. If any Identified ROFRs are exercised by the holders thereof this Agreement shall be deemed to have been amended, effective as of the date of this Agreement, to exclude the applicable Assets from the definitions of "Assets", "Major Facilities and Pipelines", "Miscellaneous Interests", "Petroleum and Natural Gas Rights", "Tangibles" and "Wells", as may be applicable, and to reduce the Purchase Price by the aggregate of the values allocated to such Assets as provided in Clause 7.1(a).

(e) From and after Closing the Parties shall cooperate and shall take all steps required to comply with any ROFRs identified after Closing in accordance with the terms thereof. Purchaser shall be entitled to receive all proceeds payable by the holders of any such ROFRs exercised after Closing and there will be no adjustment to the Closing Purchase Price as a consequence of the identification of any such ROFRs or the exercise thereof after Closing.

(f) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, Purchaser shall be liable for all Losses and Liabilities suffered, sustained, paid or incurred by Vendor or any of the Vendor's Related Persons, and, in addition and as an independent covenant, shall indemnify Vendor and each of the Vendor's Related Persons from and against, all Losses and Liabilities suffered, sustained, paid or incurred by it and all Claims made against it, in either case, as a consequence of any allocation of value provided by Purchaser and used by Vendor in the issuance of a notice in respect of a Identified ROFR pursuant to Clause 7.1(a), any failure by Purchaser to comply with the terms of any ROFR identified after Closing and any allocation of value used by Purchaser in the issuance of a notice in respect of a ROFR identified after Closing.

37

(g) If, at Closing, any Identified ROFR has not been waived and the time to elect has not elapsed (the "Unexpired ROFRs"), Closing shall proceed in respect of the remaining Assets, and the Parties will deposit with the Escrow Agent under the terms of the ROFR Escrow Agreement, that portion of the Purchase Price allocated to the Assets subject to the Unexpired ROFRs (the "Escrow Assets") and all closing documentation required for the sale of all Escrow Assets by Vendor to Purchaser. In such case, the following procedures shall apply:

(i) if an Unexpired ROFR is exercised by a Third Party, the Parties will promptly notify the Escrow Agent thereof in writing and:

(A) the funds deposited with the Escrow Agent in respect of such Escrow Assets will be refunded by the Escrow Agent to Purchaser together with the interest earned thereon while held by the Escrow Agent; and

(B) the closing documentation related to such Escrow Assets deposited with the Escrow Agent will be of no force or effect;

(ii) if after Closing an Unexpired ROFR is extinguished by lapse of time, waiver or otherwise (other than as a result of being exercised), the Parties will promptly notify the Escrow Agent thereof in writing and:

(A) the Escrow Agent will promptly pay the funds deposited with the Escrow Agent in respect of such Escrow Assets to Vendor together with the interest earned thereon while held by the Escrow Agent; and

(B) the Escrow Agent will promptly deliver copies of the closing documentation deposited with the Escrow Agent in relation to such Escrow Assets to each Party, such documentation shall be effective and the sale of such Escrow Assets to Purchaser pursuant hereto shall have closed.

(h) If, prior to Closing, a ROFR Holder challenges a ROFR Allocation and the challenge has not been resolved prior to Closing, then:

(i) if such ROFR Holder has not commenced an action with respect to the ROFR Allocation prior to the Closing Date, the Parties shall proceed to Closing with the applicable Assets included in the Assets conveyed at Closing;

(ii) if such ROFR Holder has commenced any litigation, legal proceedings or arbitration with respect to the ROFR Allocation (a "ROFR Action") prior to the Closing Date, then Closing shall occur on the Closing Date with respect to only those Assets not subject to the ROFR Action and conveyance of those Assets subject to the ROFR Action and payment for same shall be governed by the ROFR Escrow Agreement;

(iii) Vendor shall diligently proceed with the defence, compromise or settlement of the ROFR Action and shall advise Purchaser with respect to the ROFR Action;

(iv) the Parties shall cooperate with each other in the defence of the ROFR Action; and

38

(v) Vendor shall not enter into any settlement, consent order or other compromise with respect to the ROFR Action without Purchaser’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned).

(i) If, after the amount finally attributed to those Assets subject to the ROFR Action has been decided by way of judicial resolution or settlement, the applicable ROFR Holders do not exercise their Identified ROFR on such Assets, then:

(i) the Parties shall proceed to close on the sale of such Assets to Purchaser, to the fullest extent possible, under the same terms and conditions as contained within this Agreement; and

(ii) at the closing of such sale, Vendor shall be paid the entire amount originally allocated by Purchaser to such Assets, provided that the Parties shall be required to close on such Assets no later than thirty (30) days following the ROFR Holder’s election to not exercise its Identified ROFR.

(j) If, within one hundred fifty (150) days from Closing:

(i) Vendor provides to Purchaser written confirmation to Purchaser’s reasonable satisfaction, that a ROFR Holder which had previously exercised an Identified ROFR has subsequently elected to not proceed with, or is otherwise unable to consummate, the acquisition of those Assets which were the subject of such exercised Identified ROFR;

(ii) all rights of ROFR Holders in respect of such Identified ROFR have otherwise expired or been waived in accordance with its terms; and

(iii) Vendor’s subsequent sale and conveyance of such Assets to Purchaser would not give rise to or make operative any further or additional ROFR, whether triggered by this Agreement or otherwise,

Vendor shall sell and convey such Assets to Purchaser and Purchaser shall purchase and accept such Assets from Vendor, pursuant to an agreement on the same terms as this Agreement, and for an amount equal to the ROFR Allocation.
