JED Oil Inc. (“JOI”) is a reporting issuer in the Provinces of Alberta, British Columbia, Saskatchewan and New Brunswick.  The common shares of JOI are not listed for trading on any stock exchange, although these shares trade on the OTC Bulletin Board. JOI’s common shares have also been registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission of the United States of America (“SEC”).

JOI is in the business of exploring for and producing petroleum products and its operations are located primarily on oil and gas properties in Alberta and Wyoming, USA.  JOI has two subsidiaries, JED Production Inc. (“JPI”), an Alberta corporation carrying on business in the Province of Alberta, and JED Oil (USA) Inc.

ARTICLE 2
PURPOSE AND EFFECT OF PLAN

2.1

Purpose

The purpose of this Plan is to effect a compromise and arrangement of all Claims against JOI and JPI other than Unaffected Claims, and to cause the Noteholders and the Unsecured Creditors to become the only shareholders of New JOI, as provided for herein, with a view to increasing the recovery of the Noteholders and Unsecured Creditors and reducing the uncertainties, risks, costs, delays and possible losses for all Creditors that will otherwise occur.  JED has concluded, and the Monitor agrees, that Affected Creditors will obtain a greater return on their Claims if this Plan is approved than if JED is placed in receivership or bankruptcy and its assets liquidated in that process.  Affected Creditors should review this Plan, the information memorandum prepared by JED, and the Monitor’s report to creditors, before voting to accept or reject this Plan.  The transactions contemplated by this Plan are to be implemented under the CCAA and the ABCA.

2.2

Effect of the Plan

All Affected Claims will be compromised under this Plan.  All Priority Secured Claims and all Special Crown Claims will be paid in full in accordance with Article 4 hereof.

2.3

Unaffected Claims

This Plan does not compromise the following Claims (collectively, the “Unaffected Claims”) which will be paid or otherwise satisfied in accordance with their respective existing arrangements or terms, or as otherwise may be agreed between the relevant Unaffected Creditor and JOI, JPI or JUSA, as the case may be:

(a)

the fees and expenses of the Monitor and its legal counsel, in accordance with the CCAA Initial Order and any subsequent Orders;

(b)

the fees and disbursements of the Creditors’ Committee Counsel (as such term is defined in the Initial Order) to the extent that such fees and disbursements are secured by the Administration Charge under the terms of the CCAA Initial Order;

(c)

all Claims arising or accruing for the provision of goods or the performance of services, or both, to JOI, JPI or JUSA, as the case may be, on or after the CCAA Filing Date;

(d)

all Claims of Creditors of JUSA;

(e)

all Claims of Current Employees, officers and directors for all amounts owing to them in their capacity as such, by statute or otherwise for or on account of accrued and unpaid salary, wages, bonuses, vacation pay, retention bonuses, or other compensation for work done or services provided in such capacity, and for the reimbursement of any expenses incurred by them in carrying out their duties as



  


- 3 -


such to the extent that the incurrence of such expenses was properly authorized and the amount of such expenses so incurred was reasonable, but excluding

(i)

any Claim in respect of the termination of any office or employment with JOI or JPI, including without limitation any Employee Termination Claim, and

(ii)

any Unsecured Director and Officer Indemnity Claims,

each of which excluded Claims shall constitute Unsecured Claims which are Affected Claims under this Plan, however, and for clarity, all Claims of any Person secured by the Retention Plans Charge shall be Priority Secured Claims under this Plan;

(f)

that portion of any Claim arising from a cause of action for which JOI, JPI or JUSA is fully insured (collectively, the “Insured Claims”);

(g)

all amounts due to the advisors for the Noteholders and the Noteholders’ trustee;

(h)

all Restructuring Costs; and

(i)

any liability of JOI, JPI or JUSA for payment of royalties owing pursuant to the terms of any Crown and freehold lease of oil and/or gas properties.

For the purposes of considering and voting upon this Plan, the Priority Secured Creditors, the Subordinate Secured Creditors, the Noteholders and the Unsecured Creditors shall each comprise a separate class.  Each Eligible Voting Affected Creditor shall be entitled to one vote for each whole Dollar of Claim Value, and any fraction of one Dollar of Claim Value shall be ignored for voting purposes.

5.2

Creditors’ Meetings

(a)

Following the filing of this Plan with the Court, JOI and JPI shall seek the Creditors’ Meeting Order authorizing JOI and JPI to jointly hold the Creditors’ Meeting on the date set by the Creditors’ Meeting Order at which the Eligible Voting Affected Creditors shall consider and vote upon this Plan.  No Person other than Eligible Voting Affected Creditors shall be entitled to consider and vote upon this Plan.  The Creditors’ Meeting shall be held in accordance with this Plan, the Creditors’ Meeting Order and any other applicable Order in respect of the procedure governing the Creditors’ Meeting.

the foregoing.  Any other Person may be admitted to the Creditors’ Meeting only on the invitation of the Chair.

(c)

The quorum required at any Creditors’ Meeting or any adjournment thereof shall be two Eligible Affected Voting Creditors in each class present in person or by Proxy.  If the requisite quorum is not present at the Creditors’ Meeting or if the Chair determines that the Creditors’ Meeting has to be postponed for any reason, then the Creditors’ Meeting shall be adjourned by the Chair to such date, time and place as may be determined by the Chair.

(d)

The Monitor may appoint scrutineers (the “Scrutineers”) for the supervision and tabulation of the attendance, quorum and Votes Cast at the Creditors’ Meeting.  A Person or Persons designated by the Monitor shall act as recording secretary of the Creditor’s Meeting.

5.3

Procedural Matters

(a)

Voting Procedure.  Each Eligible Voting Affected Creditor may vote in person by attending the Creditors’ Meeting or by proxy by submitting their duly completed Proxy in accordance with paragraphs 5.3(d) to 5.3(g) below.  The results of any and all votes in respect of any class of Eligible Voting Affected Creditors conducted at the Creditors’ Meeting shall be binding on each such class of Affected Creditors.

(b)

Disputed Claims.  The Monitor shall keep separate records and tabulations of votes cast in respect of: (i) Proven Claims; and (ii) Disputed Claims.  If approval or non-approval of this Plan by the Eligible Voting Affected Creditors in any class shall prove to be determined by the Votes Cast in respect of Disputed Claims, such result shall be reported to the Court as soon as reasonably possible with a request to the Court for directions regarding an expedited determination of any material Disputed Claims and an appropriate deferral of the application for the Sanction Order and any other applicable dates.  The fact that a Claim is allowed for voting purposes shall not preclude JED or the Monitor from disputing such Claim for distribution purposes.  Distributions from the Cash Pool in relation to any Disputed Claim in existence at the Plan Implementation Date will be held in escrow by the Monitor pending settlement or Final Determination of the Disputed Claim and shall not be distributed until there has been a settlement or Final Determination of the Disputed Claim.  To the extent that a Final Determination or settlement has been made in respect of a Disputed Claim in an amount which is less than the amount of funds in the Cash Pool attributed to such Disputed Claim, such surplus funds shall be distributed from the Cash Pool to the Affected Creditors on a pro rata basis in accordance with Sections 4.3 and 4.4 of this Plan.

(c)

Acceptance of Plan.  Votes cast by Eligible Voting Affected Creditors at the Creditors’ Meeting shall be binding upon the Eligible Voting Affected Creditors and shall be recorded at the time of the Creditors’ Meeting.  If the Required

Majority of each of the four classes of Eligible Voting Affected Creditors is achieved, this Plan shall be approved and shall be deemed to have been agreed to, accepted and approved by the requisite Affected Creditors of each such class.  For greater certainty, no class of creditors shall be bound by the terms of this Plan unless each class of creditors shall have agreed to this Plan by the Required Majority.

(d)

Appointment and Revocation of Proxies.  An Eligible Voting Affected Creditor wishing to appoint a proxy to represent such Eligible Voting Affected Creditor at the Creditors’ Meeting may do so by inserting such Person’s name in the blank space provided on a Proxy in the form attached hereto as Schedule ”C” (the “Proxy”) and sending or delivering the completed Proxy to the offices of the Monitor, at Ernst & Young Inc., at 1000, 440 - 2nd Avenue, S.W., Calgary, Alberta, T2P 5E9, attention Orest Konowalchuk, fax: (403) 290-4265, email: orest.konowalchuk@ca.ey.com (the “Monitor’s Office”).  A Proxy must be:

(ii)

Failure to so deposit the Proxy shall result in the invalidation of same.  JOI may be appointed by a Proxy.  JOI shall be entitled to solicit and collect Proxies containing votes in favour of this Plan for delivery to the Monitor.

An Eligible Voting Affected Creditor who has given a Proxy may revoke it (as to any matter on which a vote has not already been cast pursuant to its authority) by an instrument in writing executed by such Eligible Voting Affected Creditor or by his or her attorney, duly authorized in writing or, if an Eligible Voting Affected Creditor is not an individual, by an officer or attorney thereof duly authorized, and deposited either at the offices of the Monitor above mentioned on or before the last Business Day preceding the date of the meeting or any adjournment thereof, or with the Chair of the Creditors’ Meeting prior to the time of commencement of the Creditors’ Meeting, or any adjournment thereof.

(e)

- 11 -


(f)

Voting of Proxies.  The Person named in the Proxy shall vote the Claims of the Eligible Voting Affected Creditor who granted such Proxy in accordance with the direction of such Eligible Voting Affected Creditor on any ballot that may be called for and where such Eligible Voting Affected Creditor specifies a choice with respect to any matter to be voted upon, the Claim shall be voted in accordance with the instructions of such Eligible Voting Affected Creditor.  In the absence of any such direction, such Claim shall be voted as an Affirmative Vote.

(g)

Exercise of Discretion of Proxy.  The accompanying Proxy confers a discretionary authority upon the Person named therein with respect to amendments or variations to the matters identified in the notice of the Creditor’s Meeting and in this Plan and with respect to other matters that may properly come before the Creditors’ Meeting.

(h)

Voting by Secured Creditors

(i)

Where, prior to the Creditors’ Meeting, no determination has been made by the Monitor or the Court as to whether a Claim of a Secured Creditor ranks in priority to the Noteholder’s Security, such Secured Creditor shall be entitled to vote the amount of its Claim Value on this Plan at the Creditors’ Meeting as if such Secured Creditor is a member of the class of Subordinate Secured Creditors, for the purposes of determining a Required Majority in the Subordinate Secured Creditor class.  Nothing herein shall be construed as prejudicing or otherwise affecting the right of such Secured Creditor to assert priority of its Claim over the Noteholder’s Security.  In the event that any portion of the Claim of such Secured Creditor is subsequently determined by the Monitor to rank in priority to the Noteholder’s Security, such portion of the Claim shall form part of the Priority Secured Claims and will be dealt with in accordance with this Plan.

(ii)

Where, prior to the Creditors’ Meeting, the Monitor has determined that the Claims of a Secured Creditor may not be fully secured, such Secured Creditor shall be entitled to vote on this Plan at the Creditors’ Meeting as if such Secured Creditor is a member of the class of Unsecured Creditors in respect of that portion of the Claims of such Secured Creditor as has been allowed by the Monitor to be an Unsecured Claim for the purpose of determining a Required Majority in the Unsecured Creditor class.  In the event that any portion of the Claims of such Secured Creditor as was allowed by the Monitor as an Unsecured Claim for voting purposes is subsequently determined by the Monitor to be secured, such portion of the Claim shall form part of the Priority Secured Creditor class or the Subordinate Secured Creditor Class, as applicable.
