(iii) greater than twenty-five percent (25%) of the Base Purchase Price (calculated in US Dollars prior to adjustments and converted into Canadian Dollars in accordance with Clause 1.2(m)), (either before or after Vendors efforts to cure such Material Title Defects), then either Party may elect, at or before the Closing Date, to terminate this Agreement in its entirety, in which case the Parties shall be released and discharged from all further obligations arising under this Agreement except with respect to rights and obligations arising pursuant to Clauses 3.2, 8.3 and 18.1.

(c) Failure by either Party to make an election in respect of Clause 8.4(b)(ii) or Clause 8.4(b)(iii) at or before the time specified therein shall be deemed to be an election by the Purchaser to complete the Transaction without an adjustment to the Base Purchase Price on account of such Uncured Title Defects, and in such case Purchaser agrees to have permanently waived all Uncured Title Defects for purposes of this Agreement.

(d) If the Parties do not agree, for purposes of Clause 8.4(b), on the existence of a Material Title Defect or the Title Defect Value of an Uncured Title Defect, or whether the efforts of the Vendors to cure such Uncured Title Defect are effective, such dispute may be resolved in accordance with Clause 15.2(b)(i). No such dispute shall result in a delay of the Closing Date, unless the aggregate Title Defect Values asserted by the Purchaser, together with the aggregate of all Environmental Defect Values and Losses and Liabilities represented by all Material Undisclosed Claims asserted by the Purchaser, collectively, exceed twenty-five percent (25%) of the Base Purchase Price.

(a) Not later than five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Purchaser shall give the Vendors written notice of any Material Environmental Defects that the Purchaser does not waive; provided if such notice is not received at any time at or before 4:00 p.m., Calgary time on such day, the Environmental condition of the WCBU Assets for which WCBU Environmental Liabilities was disclosed in the Data Room Information or for which access to files was requested by Purchaser and provided by Vendors without a follow up site visit shall be deemed to be acceptable to the Purchaser for purposes of this Agreement. The Purchaser further agrees that notice of all Material Environmental Defects shall be provided in writing to the Vendors at the earliest time at which they are discovered. Such notice shall specify such Material Environmental Defects in reasonable detail, the WCBU Assets directly affected thereby, the bona fide value (in US Dollars) allocated by the Purchaser, acting reasonably, to the affected WCBU Assets and the bona fide amount (in US Dollars), in the Purchaser’s opinion, acting reasonably, by which the value of each affected Asset has been reduced by such Material Environmental Defect and taking into account the likelihood that such Material Environmental Defect will manifest itself (the “Environmental Defect Value”), reasonable detail as to how such Environmental Defect Value was calculated and the Purchaser’s requirements for the rectification or curing thereof.

(b) Subject to Clauses 8.5(a) and 8.6, where the aggregate amount of the Environmental Defect Value of the Material Environmental Defects described in Purchaser’s notice is:

(i) less than or equal to the Threshold Amount, the Purchaser shall be deemed to have permanently waived the Material Environmental Defects described in Purchaser’s notice and the Parties shall proceed with Closing without an adjustment to the Purchase Price on account of such Material Environmental Defects;

(ii) greater than the Threshold Amount but less than twenty-five percent (25%) of the Base Purchase Price (calculated in US Dollars prior to adjustments and converted into Canadian Dollars in accordance with Clause 1.2(m)), the Purchaser may elect by written notice to the Vendors not later than two (2) Business Days before the Closing Date to either:

(A) permanently waive the Material Environmental Defects described in Purchaser’s notice and proceed with Closing without an adjustment to the Purchase Price; or

(B) not waive the Material Environmental Defects described in Purchaser’s notice, in which case the Vendors shall use commercially reasonable efforts, within forty-five (45) days after the Closing Date subject to surface and other access restrictions, to commence and thereafter diligently pursue efforts to cure such Material Environmental Defects, provided that the Vendors may, but shall not be required to, make any payment or expend any monies to cure such Material Environmental Defects. If after Vendors’ efforts to cure such Material Environmental Defects, the Environmental Defect Value of the Material Environmental Defects described in Purchaser’s notice which have not been cured to the Purchaser’s reasonable satisfaction on or prior to the Closing Date (the “Uncured Environmental Defects”):

(1) is less than or equal to the Threshold Amount, the Purchaser shall be deemed to have permanently waived the Uncured Environmental Defects and the Parties shall proceed with Closing without an adjustment to the Purchase Price on account of such Uncured Environmental Defects;

(2) continues to exceed the Threshold Amount but are less than twenty-five percent (25%) of the Base Purchase Price (calculated in US Dollars prior to adjustments and converted into Canadian Dollars in accordance with Clause 1.2(m)), the Purchase Price shall, subject to Clause 15.2(b)(i), 15.2(c) and 12.5(d)(iii) be reduced on a dollar for dollar basis, by the amount of the aggregate Environmental Defect Value of all Uncured Environmental Defects up to twenty-five percent (25%) of the Base Purchase Price (calculated in US Dollars prior to adjustments and converted into Canadian Dollars in accordance with Clause 1.2(m)), whereupon such adjustments shall be Purchaser’s sole and

Page 57

absolute remedy under this Agreement in respect of such Uncured Environmental Defects, all Uncured Environmental Defects shall be deemed to have been cured for all purposes of this Agreement, and the Parties shall proceed with Closing with the Purchase Price adjusted accordingly, provided that if Vendors cure all or any portion of the Uncured Environmental Defects for which the Purchase Price was adjusted, prior to the date that is six (6) months from the Closing Date, Vendors shall be entitled to recover the portion of the Purchase Price reduced by the Uncured Environmental Defects at Closing that is then cured, subject to Clause 15.2(b)(i) and 15.2(c); or

(iii) greater than twenty-five percent (25%) of the Base Purchase Price (calculated in US Dollars prior to adjustments and converted into Canadian Dollars in accordance with Clause 1.2(m)), (either before or after Vendors’ efforts to cure such Material Environmental Defects), then either Party may elect, at or before the Closing Date, to terminate this Agreement in its entirety, in which case the Parties shall be released and discharged from all further obligations arising under this Agreement except with respect to rights and obligations arising pursuant to Clauses 3.2, 8.3 and 18.1.

(c) Failure by either Party to make an election in respect of Clause 8.5(b)(ii) or Clause 8.5(b)(iii) at or before the time specified therein shall be deemed to be an election by the Purchaser to complete the Transaction without an adjustment to the Purchase Price on account of such Uncured Environmental Defects, and in such case Purchaser agrees to have permanently waived all Uncured Environmental Defects for purposes of this Agreement.

(d) If the Parties do not agree, for purposes of Clause 8.5(b), on the existence of a Material Environmental Defect or the Environmental Defect Value of an Uncured Environmental Defect, or whether the Vendors efforts to cure such Material Environmental Defect are effective, such dispute may be resolved in accordance with Clause 15.2(b)(ii). No such dispute shall result in a delay of the Closing Date, unless the aggregate Title Defect Values asserted by the Purchaser, together with the aggregate of all Environmental Defect Values and Losses and Liabilities represented by all Material Undisclosed Claims asserted by the Purchaser, collectively, exceed twenty-five percent (25%) of the Base Purchase Price.

8.6 Combined Threshold

If the amount by which the aggregate of:

(a) the value that the WCBU Assets has been reduced due to Uncured Title Defects; plus

(b) the estimated costs of the remediation required to remedy all of the Uncured Environmental Defects; plus

(c) the Losses and Liabilities represented by all Material Undisclosed Claims that are not duplicative of Uncured Title Defects or Uncured Environmental Defects;

(collectively, the “Claimed Amounts”) is:

(d) less than or equal to the Threshold Amount, the Purchaser shall be deemed to have permanently waived such Material Title Defects, Material Environmental Defects, and Material Undisclosed Claims described in Purchaser’s notice, and the Parties shall proceed with Closing without an adjustment to the Purchase Price on account of such Material Title Defects, Material Environmental Defects and Material Undisclosed Claims; or

(e) greater than the Threshold Amount, but less than twenty-five percent (25%) of the Base Purchase Price, (calculated in US Dollars prior to adjustments and converted into Canadian Dollars in accordance with Clause 1.2(m)), Purchaser may elect, by notice in writing delivered to CPCRC on or prior to two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, to:

(i) permanently waive the Material Title Defects, Material Environmental Defects and Material Undisclosed Claims described in Purchaser’s notice, and proceed with Closing without an adjustment to the Purchase Price on account of such Material Title Defects, Material Environmental Defects and Material Undisclosed Claims; or

Page 58

(ii) not waive the Material Title Defects, Material Environmental Defects and Material Undisclosed Claims described in Purchaser’s notice, in which case, the Vendor shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cure such Material Title Defects and/or Material Undisclosed Claims within the period specified in Clause 8.4(b)(ii)(B) and/or such Material Environmental Defects within the period specified in Clause 8.5(b)(ii)(B), provided that the Vendors may, but shall not be required to, make any payment or expend any monies to cure such Material Title Defects, Material Environmental Defects or Material Undisclosed Claims. If, after Vendors’ efforts to cure such Material Title Defects, Material Environmental Defects, and Material Undisclosed Claims, the remaining Claimed Amounts which have not been cured to the Purchaser’s reasonable satisfaction on or prior to the Closing Date (the “Uncured Defects and Claims”):

(A) is less than or equal to the Threshold Amount, the Purchaser shall be deemed to have permanently waived the Uncured Defects and Claims, and the Parties shall proceed with Closing without an adjustment to the Purchase Price on account of such Uncured Defects and Claims;

(B) continues to exceed the Threshold Amount but is less than twenty-five percent (25%) of the Base Purchase Price (calculated in US Dollars prior to adjustments and converted into Canadian Dollars in accordance with Clause 1.2(m)), the Purchase Price shall, subject to Clause 15.2(b)(i), 15.2(c) and 12.5(d)(iii), be reduced by the amount of the aggregate value or Losses and Liabilities arising from the Uncured Defects and Claims, up to twenty-five percent (25%) of the Base Purchase Price (calculated in US Dollars prior to adjustments and converted into Canadian Dollars in accordance with Clause 1.2(m)), whereupon such adjustments shall be Purchaser’s sole and absolute remedy under this Agreement in respect of such Uncured Defects and Claims; all Uncured Defects and Claims shall be deemed to have been cured for all purposes of this Agreement, and the Parties shall proceed with Closing with the Purchase Price adjusted accordingly, provided that if Vendors cure all or any part of the Uncured Defects and Claims for which the Purchase Price was adjusted, within the applicable period specified above in this Clause 8.6(e)(ii), Vendors shall be entitled to recover the portion of the Purchase Price reduced by the Uncured Defects and Claims at Closing that is then cured, subject to Clause 15.2(b)(i) and 15.2(c); or

(f) greater than twenty-five percent (25%) of the Base Purchase Price (calculated in US Dollars prior to adjustments and converted into Canadian Dollars in accordance with Clause 1.2(m)), (either before or after the Vendors efforts to cure such Material Title Defects, Material Environmental Defects and Material Undisclosed Claims,) either Party may terminate this Agreement upon written notice delivered to the other Party not later than two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, in which case the Parties shall be released and discharged from all further obligations hereunder, except with respect to the rights and obligations arising pursuant to Clauses 3.2, 8.3 and 18.1. Failure by Purchaser to elect in writing to terminate this Agreement within the time period aforesaid will be deemed to be an election to complete the Transaction without an adjustment to the Purchase Price on account of such Uncured Defects and Claims.

(g) If the Parties do not agree, for purposes of Clause 8.6(c) on the existence of a Material Undisclosed Claim or the amount of Losses and Liabilities that may directly arise from a Material Undisclosed Claim, or whether the Vendors efforts to cure such Material Undisclosed Claims are effective, such dispute may be resolved in accordance with Clause 15.2(a). No such dispute shall result in a delay of the Closing Date unless the aggregate value of all Uncured Title Defects and Uncured Environmental Defects and Losses and Liabilities represented by all Material Undisclosed Claims asserted by the Purchaser, collectively, exceeds twenty-five percent (25%) of the Base Purchase Price.

8.7 Security Interests

(a) Not later than Ten (10) Business Days prior to Closing, the Purchaser shall provide Vendors with written notice of all Security Interests registered against the WCBU Assets for which Purchaser, acting reasonably, believes could materially and adversely affect the WCBU Assets and requires a discharge or no interest letter at or before Closing.

(b) Vendors shall provide at or before Closing, either a discharge or a no interest letter with respect to:

Page 59

(i) the Security Interests for which Purchaser provided notice in accordance with Clause 8.7(a);

ARTICLE 9

THIRD PARTY RIGHTS AND CONSENTS

9.1 Rights of First Refusal

(a) The Purchaser acknowledges that certain of the WCBU Assets may be subject to a ROFR which is exercisable by virtue of the Vendors and the Purchaser having entered into this Agreement. The Parties acknowledge and agree that while the Vendors have used commercially reasonable efforts to identify ROFRS triggered by the Transaction, there may be ROFRs identified after Closing in addition to the Identified ROFRS for which the Purchaser shall be required to comply. The Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide to the Vendors within ten (10) Business Days following:

(i) execution of this Agreement, its bona fide allocations of the portion of the Base Purchase Price attributable to the WCBU Assets for the Identified ROFRs; and

(ii) the Vendors’ or the Purchaser’s identification of ROFRs in addition to the Identified ROFRs, its bona fide allocations of the portion of the Base Purchase Price attributable to the WCBU Assets for such additional ROFRs;

(in each case the “Allocated ROFR Value”). The Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that for purposes of complying with any ROFRs, the Allocated ROFR Value shall be limited for all purposes, to a sale of the WCBU Assets affected by such ROFR. If the Vendors have a bona fide concern regarding the allocation, the Purchaser shall provide reasonable detail therefor.

(b) The Vendors shall promptly serve all notices required in respect of Identified ROFRs and other ROFRs in each case where no exemption applies, as promptly as possible after identification and receipt of the Allocated ROFR Value, utilizing the Allocated ROFR Value. Each such notice shall include a request for a waiver of the ROFR and the granting of any consent that may be required. The Vendors shall, and shall cause any Affiliates or Subsidiaries to waive all ROFRs in respect of any non-arm’s length agreements to which a ROFR is triggered as a result of this Agreement.

(c) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any of the Third Parties receiving such a notice (a “ROFR Holder”) elects to exercise its rights to acquire the WCBU Assets subject to the ROFR (hereinafter in this clause called the “Exercised Assets”), the Vendors shall as soon as reasonably possible notify the Purchaser of same and thereupon:

(i) the Exercised Assets shall not be sold pursuant hereto and the terms “WCBU Assets”, “WCBU Lands”, “WCBU Leases”, “WCBU Major Facilities and Pipelines”, “WCBU Miscellaneous Interests”, “WCBU Petroleum and Natural Gas Rights”, “WCBU Licences”, “WCBU Surface Interests”, “WCBU Tangibles”, “WCBU Units”, and “WCBU Wells” shall be construed so as not to include such Exercised Assets;

Page 60

(ii) the Base Cash Price shall be reduced by the Allocated ROFR Value attributed to the Exercised Assets, and any adjustments applicable thereto calculated in accordance with Clause 4.1 and the term “Base Cash Price” shall be construed to be such reduced amount;

(iii) except as contemplated in Clause 9.1(c)(ii), there shall be no adjustments made pursuant to Article 9 on account of any Exercised Assets.

(d) 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. The Purchaser shall be entitled to receive and retain all proceeds payable by the holders of any such ROFRs exercised after Closing and there will be no adjustment to the Purchase Price as a consequence of the identification of any such ROFRs or the exercise thereof after Closing.

(e) The Purchaser shall be liable to the Vendors for all Claims, and as a separate and independent covenant, the Purchaser agrees to indemnify and hold each Vendor and Vendor Entity harmless from and against all Losses and Liabilities incurred or suffered by such Vendor or any Vendor Entity arising out of or relating to:

(i) using the Allocated ROFR Value provided by the Purchaser pursuant to Clause 9.1(a) above;

(ii) challenges by any ROFR Holder who disputes the validity of a notice of a ROFR in respect of the WCBU Assets served by Purchaser after Closing;

(iv) any failure by the Purchaser to comply with Clause 9.1(d), 9.1(f) or 9.1(g).

(f) 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 WCBU Assets applicable to such Unexpired ROFRS included in the WCBU Assets conveyed at Closing, and the following procedures shall apply:

(i) if an Unexpired ROFR is exercised by a Third Party, the Purchaser shall, subject to Clause 9.1(h)(i), sell the applicable Exercised Assets to the applicable ROFR Holder in accordance with the terms of the applicable ROFR and the Purchaser shall be entitled to receive and retain all proceeds payable by such ROFR Holder in respect of the Exercised Assets and there will be no adjustment to the Purchase Price as a consequence of such sale; or

(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 Purchaser shall retain the WCBU Assets to which such unexpired ROFR relates and no further action on the part of the Purchaser will be required, other than to indemnify the Vendors in accordance with Clause 9.1(e).

(g) 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 WCBU Assets applicable to such challenged ROFR Allocation included in the WCBU 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 the Parties shall proceed to Closing with the WCBU Assets applicable to such ROFR Action included in the WCBU Assets conveyed at Closing, provided that Clause 9.1(h) shall apply;

(iii) the Vendor shall diligently proceed with the defence, compromise or settlement of the ROFR Action subject to Clause 9.1(g)(v), at Purchaser’s cost, and shall advise the Purchaser with respect to the ROFR Action;

Page 61

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

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

(h) If, after the amount finally attributed to those WCBU Assets subject to the ROFR Action has been decided by way of judicial resolution or subject to Clause 9.1(g)(v), settlement:

(i) the applicable ROFR Holders do not exercise their Identified ROFR on such WCBU Assets, then the Purchaser shall retain the WCBU Assets to which such ROFR relates and no further action on the part of the Purchaser will be required other than to indemnify the Vendors in accordance with Clause 9.1(e); and

(ii) the applicable ROFR Holder exercises their ROFR on such WCBU Assets, then the Purchaser shall sell the applicable Exercised Assets to such ROFR Holder in accordance with the terms of the applicable ROFR and the Purchaser shall be entitled to receive and retain all proceeds payable by such ROFR Holder in respect of such Exercised Assets and there will be no adjustment to the Base Purchase Price as a consequence of such sale; or

(i) If, within one hundred fifty (150) days from Closing, the sale of that portion of the WCBU Assets that is subject to an Identified ROFR that has been exercised has not closed:

(i) the Vendors shall provide the Purchaser with written notice thereof and written confirmation to Purchaser’s reasonable satisfaction, that a ROFR Holder which had previously exercised an Identified ROFR for which an adjustment to the Base Purchase Price was made in accordance with Clause 9.1(c) has subsequently elected to not proceed with, or is otherwise unable to consummate, the acquisition of those WCBU 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) Vendors’ subsequent sale and conveyance of such WCBU Assets to Purchaser would not give rise to or make operative any further or additional ROFR, whether triggered by this Agreement or otherwise;

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

9.2 Consents

The Vendors shall, forthwith upon execution of this Agreement, use reasonable efforts to:

(a) identify all necessary consents, permissions and approvals by Third Parties and Governmental Authorities in connection with the Transaction customarily requested by a vendor prior to a closing (the “Vendor Consents”) and notify the Purchaser of all such Vendor Consents;

(b) request in writing, at the direction of the Purchaser, the Vendor Consents; and

(c) give written notice to all Third Parties and Governmental Authorities in sufficient time to allow any Vendor Consents having an expiry period to expire (if not refused) prior to the Closing Date.

Prior to and after Closing, the Vendors shall use reasonable efforts to obtain and deliver to the Purchaser all Vendor Consents requested by the Purchaser, provided that the Parties acknowledge that the consent to assignment from buyers under Product Sales, Marketing and Transportation Contracts and from Third Parties to Conveyance Documents may not be obtainable until after Closing. The Parties shall cooperate in seeking any required consent from such buyers or, if the Vendors are not a party to such agreement, from the Third Party distributing funds to the Vendors. The Purchaser shall also, following the Parties’ execution of this Agreement, use reasonable efforts to identify to, and request in writing from, CPCRC any additional necessary consents, permissions and approvals by

Page 62

Third Parties and Governmental Authorities in connection with the Transaction that the Purchaser identifies in the course of its title review hereunder which have not been previously identified by the Vendors and the Vendors shall diligently proceed to request any such additional necessary consents, permissions and approvals.

9.3 Post-Closing Approvals and Consents

(a) The Parties agree that certain approvals or consents required from Third Parties and Governmental Authorities to complete the conveyance of the WCBU Assets and Partnership Interest, including assignment of the WCBU Licences, WCBU Leases, WCBU Surface Interests, WCBU Unit Interests and other WCBU Title and Operating Documents, may not be obtainable until after Closing. The Parties shall co-operate in seeking any such approvals or consents. If an approval or consent required to be obtained from a Governmental Authority is not obtained for a particular right, interest or property within twelve (12) months of the Closing Date or if leave of the National Energy Board is not granted for the transfer of any pipeline within one hundred and twenty (120) days of the Closing Date, then either Party may, by notice to the other Party, request that the Parties meet to discuss how to address the matter.

(b) If Closing occurs, until the Purchaser becomes recognized by Third Parties as the owner of the WCBU Assets and Partnership Interest in the place of the Vendor:

(i) the Vendors will, subject to Clause 14.2:

(A) hold and stand possessed of the WCBU Assets and Partnership Interest as bare trustee for the benefit of the Purchaser, and receive and hold all proceeds, benefits and advantages accruing in respect of the WCBU Assets fully for the benefit, use and ownership of the Purchaser;

(B) promptly upon receipt thereof, deliver to the Purchaser all revenues, proceeds and other benefits of any nature received by it in respect of the WCBU Assets and Partnership Interest (net of any Third Party out of pocket costs paid by them after Closing in respect of the WCBU Assets and for which an adjustment has not otherwise been made) in accordance with Clause 4.2(e);

(C) promptly deliver to the Purchaser all Third Party notices and communications received by it in respect of the WCBU Assets and Partnership Interest;

(D) promptly deliver to Third Parties all such notices and communications as the Purchaser may reasonably request, and all such money and other items as the Purchaser may reasonably provide in respect of the WCBU Assets and Partnership Interest; and

(E) as agent of the Purchaser, do and perform all such acts and things, and execute and deliver all such agreements, notices and other documents and instruments, as the Purchaser may reasonably request for purposes of facilitating the exercise of rights incidental to the ownership of the WCBU Assets and Partnership Interest.

(c) The Purchaser will be liable to the Vendor for all Claims, and will indemnify and save harmless the Vendor from and against all Losses and Liabilities that the Vendor suffers, sustains or incurs in connection with the Vendor’s obligations contained in Clause 9.3(b), insofar as such Losses and Liabilities are not a direct result of the Gross Negligence or fraud of the Vendors.

9.4 Operatorship

Nothing in this Agreement shall transfer or be deemed to transfer operatorship, or shall be interpreted as any assurance by the Vendors that the Purchaser will be able to serve as operator with respect to any of the WCBU Assets in which interests are held by Third Parties, whether or not such WCBU Assets are presently operated by the Vendors. The Vendors shall use commercially reasonable efforts to assist the Purchaser in seeking to obtain operatorship with

Page 63

respect to any of the WCBU Assets operated by Vendors in which interests are held by Third Parties, and such obligation shall survive Closing, but shall otherwise have no liability to the Purchaser for any Purchaser’s Losses and Liabilities as a result of the Purchaser not being designated as the operator of the WCBU Lands, WCBU Major Facilities and Pipelines or WCBU Tangibles operated by the Vendors prior to Closing.

9.5 Affiliate Contracts

The Vendors acknowledge and agree that the Purchaser will not have any liability after Closing under any Affiliate Contracts except to the extent adjusted for in accordance with Clause 4.1(b)(viii) or as may be permitted pursuant to the Transition Services Agreement.

CONVEYANCES AND LICENCE TRANSFERS

11.1 Conveyances

(a) The Vendors shall, at their sole cost and expense, prepare and provide all Conveyance Documents required to convey the Vendors’ interest in any WCBU Assets, and shall cooperate with the Purchaser to prioritize those Conveyance Documents required for execution and delivery at Closing or as soon thereafter as reasonably possible. No such Conveyance Documents shall require the Vendors to assume or incur any obligation, or to provide any representation or warranty, beyond that contained in this Agreement. To the extent possible, the Vendors shall provide the Purchaser with draft copies of Conveyance Documents for the Purchaser’s review as they become available. The Parties shall be entitled to execute such documents utilizing electronic signatures approved by them. Vendors shall not be required to have such documents signed by Third Parties at or before the Closing Date but shall cooperate with the Purchaser as reasonably required to secure execution of such documents by such Third Parties thereafter. The Purchaser shall execute and promptly return to the Vendors at least one copy of each such document and the Vendors shall use reasonable efforts to obtain timely execution and return of such documents by Third Parties wherever required.

(b) The Vendors shall promptly after Closing and subject to Clause 14.2, register in the applicable registry all registerable transfers and conveyances of the WCBU Assets (including pressure vessel registrations) and shall make application to all applicable Governmental Authorities to change the recorded name of all WCBU Wells, WCBU Tangibles and WCBU Major Facilities and Pipelines forming part of the WCBU Assets. For registrable transfers which are to be submitted electronically, the Vendors shall prepare and electronically submit an application to the applicable Governmental Authority for the licence transfer of the WCBU Wells, WCBU Tangibles and WCBU Major Facilities and Pipelines, and the Purchaser shall electronically ratify and sign such application. If the applicable Governmental Authority rejects any licence transfer because of mis-description or other minor deficiencies in the application, the Vendors shall as soon as practicable

Page 76

following receipt of the rejection notice correct the application and amend and re-submit an application for the licence transfers and the Purchaser shall electronically ratify and sign such application. Purchaser will provide all emergency response services post closing as if they were the recognized license holder immediately upon Closing.

(c) All costs incurred in:

(i) transferring any data, records, files, core samples or other information or materials of whatsoever nature or kind constituting WCBU Miscellaneous Interests;

(ii) registering any transfers and conveyances inclusive of pipeline and well licence transfers (including those submitted electronically); and

(iii) registering any further assurances required to convey the WCBU Assets;

11.2 Trustee Obligations

The Purchaser shall assume the trust obligations of the Vendors under the trust declarations and agreements in respect of the White Map Area or portion thereof, and the Parties shall enter into such Conveyance Documents as are necessary to effect the transfer of such obligations to the Purchaser effective as the Effective Time.

11.3 Pipeline Licences

(a) Upon execution of this Agreement, the Vendors shall:

(i) provide the Purchaser access to all Pipeline Records in the Vendors’ possession; and

(ii) use commercially reasonable efforts to commence and obtain prior to Closing, Pipeline Engineering Assessments for each and every Operated Pipeline using the guidelines set forth in the “Pipeline Assessment Template” contained in the folder indexed as item 1.10.5 in the Data Room Information.

(b) In respect of Operating Pipelines, the evaluation criteria for fitness for purpose and service shall be consistent with the current use of such Operating Pipeline. In respect of an Operated Pipeline which is not an Operating Pipeline, the evaluation criteria for fitness for purpose and service shall be that of suspension or abandonment. The Parties agree that the provision by Vendors of a Pipeline Engineering Assessment completed by Vendors shall be an acceptable substitute in lieu of the rectification of any deficiency in the Pipeline Records, in order for both Parties to make the declarations required to comply with the regulatory requirements to transfer the Operated Pipeline licences pursuant to the Pipeline Rules. To the extent that the Vendors provide a Pipeline Engineering Assessment for an Operated Pipeline, the Parties shall make such declarations as are required to effect the Operated Pipeline transfer.

(c) If a Pipeline Engineering Assessment in respect of an Operated Pipeline provided by the Vendors does not demonstrate that the subject Operated Pipeline is fit for its current purpose and service (“Deficient Pipeline Engineering Assessment”), then Vendors will disclose the Deficient Pipeline Engineering Assessment to the appropriate Governmental Authorities to the extent required under Applicable Laws, and the Parties shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate in rectifying any deficiency, so as to expeditiously make the declarations required to effect the Operated Pipeline transfer. If Vendors determine in their sole and absolute discretion that they are reasonably able to rectify the deficiency noted in any Deficient Pipeline Engineering Assessment prior to Closing, Vendors shall take such steps to rectify such deficiency, subject to Clause 11.3(e). The existence of or determination that an Operated Pipeline is a Deficient Pipeline following receipt of a Pipeline Engineering Assessment shall constitute grounds to delay the transfer of the pipeline licences for such Operated Pipelines until the deficiency is rectified to the mutual satisfaction of the Parties, acting reasonably.

Page 77

(d) If the Vendors have not, at or prior to Closing, provided the relevant Pipeline Engineering Assessments for all Operated Pipelines in order to allow the Parties to make the declarations referred to in Clause 11.3(a) with respect to such Operated Pipelines, or an Operated Pipeline is subject to a Deficient Pipeline Engineering Assessment for which the deficiency has not been rectified prior to Closing, then from and after Closing:

(i) having regard to Transferring Employees and Transferring Contractors subject to Clause 14.2, the Vendors shall promptly and diligently complete the Pipeline Engineering Assessments in respect of the affected Operated Pipelines for which no Pipeline Engineering Assessment was provided at Closing, provided that if an Employee or Contractor that a Vendor would have used to prepare the Pipeline Engineering Assessment has become a Transferring Employee or Transferring Contractor upon Closing, then Purchaser shall cause that Transferring Employee or Transferring Contractor to complete the Pipeline Engineering Assessment on behalf of Vendors at no additional cost to Vendors; and

(ii) Vendors shall continue to hold the licences for Operated Pipelines for which no Pipeline Engineering Assessment was provided prior to Closing and which are subject to a Deficient Pipeline Engineering Assessment that has not been rectified prior to Closing, on behalf of the Purchaser as bare trustee and agent until such time as such Pipeline Engineering Assessments are provided, deficiencies identified in Deficient Pipeline Engineering Assessments are rectified, and transfers of the licences thereof from Vendors to the Purchaser are registered with the appropriate Governmental Authority. Vendors shall hold licences for such Operated Pipelines in trust pursuant to a trust agreement to be entered into by the Parties at Closing on terms and conditions acceptable to the Parties, acting reasonably, which agreement shall include a term that it automatically terminates in respect of any Operated Pipeline held pursuant thereto being transferred in accordance with the Pipeline Rules.

(e) All costs incurred in the preparation of such Pipeline Engineering Assessments before Closing shall be borne solely by the Vendors and all costs incurred in the either the preparation of a Pipeline Engineering Assessment after Closing or the rectification of a Deficient Pipeline Engineering Assessment, whether rectified prior to or after Closing, shall be borne solely by the Purchaser provided that Closing occurs, and there shall be no adjustment to the Purchase Price in respect thereof pursuant to Clause 4.1 or otherwise. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser shall be entitled to conduct work in respect of the Deficient Pipeline Engineering Assessment under the terms of the Transition Services Agreement.

(f) Until such time as the Operated Pipeline licences are transferred to the Purchaser, the Vendors shall promptly make all filings and payments required to maintain the pipeline licence for the Operated Pipelines, provided that the Purchaser provides the Vendors on a timely basis with the necessary funds for any payments and with any information required from the Purchaser for such filings.

(g) The Vendors will promptly provide the Purchaser all Third Party AFEs, notices, specific information, communications, invoices, billings, and other documents that the Vendors receive respecting any Operated Pipeline and will promptly respond to such AFEs, notices, information and other documents pursuant to the written instructions of the Purchaser, acting reasonably and if received on a timely basis, provided that the Vendors may refuse to follow instructions that it believes, acting reasonably and in good faith, to be unlawful or in conflict with applicable agreements regarding the affected Operated Pipeline by providing written notice to that effect to Purchaser in a timely manner.

(h) Subject to maintaining possession of the Pipeline Records while obtaining Pipeline Engineering Assessments, the Vendors shall deliver to the Purchaser, at or within a reasonable period of time after Closing, all available Pipeline Records.

Page 78

and required deposits. In such case, at the Closing Date, the appropriate Party shall satisfy the deposit requirements of the relevant Governmental Authority in order to approve any of those licence and authorization transfers to the Purchaser. The Parties further covenant to comply with all conditions imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority in respect of such transfers and such covenant shall survive Closing for the benefit of the purchaser and the Vendors, respectively.

(b) Within a reasonable period of time following Closing, in accordance with Clause 11.1(b) and subject to any necessary approval of any working interest owners in the particular WCBU Asset (to the extent such working interest owners have the contractual right to grant or deny consent) the Vendors shall electronically submit applications to the relevant Governmental Authorities for the transfer of any WCBU Wells and WCBU Tangibles held in the name of the Vendors. If the working interest owners for a WCBU Asset deny their consent to such transfer, the Parties shall cooperate in re-transferring the pertinent licences or authorizations back to the Vendors for the Vendors’ assignment to an operator approved by both the Purchaser and the working interest owners in accordance with the WCBU Title and Operating Document governing such WCBU Asset.

(c) After Closing:

(i) whether or not the Purchaser requested prior determination of the relevant Governmental Authority transfer conditions under this Clause 11.4, if for any reason the relevant Governmental Authority requires a Party to make a deposit in order to approve the licence or authorization transfer, such Party shall and covenants to immediately make such deposit;

(ii) if the National Energy Board does not grant leave for the transfer of any pipelines comprising the WCBU Assets requiring such leave, the Vendors shall hold such WCBU Assets in trust for the Purchaser until such time as leave is granted and shall cooperate and provide commercially reasonable assistance to the Purchaser in order to effect such transfer to the Purchaser.

(d) If the required Party fails to make a deposit it is required to make under Clause 11.4(c)(i) within ten (10) Business Days of such Party’s receipt of notification from the relevant Governmental Authority that such deposit is required, the other Party shall have the right, but not the obligation, to make such deposit. In such event, the required Party shall reimburse the other Party for the amount of such deposit plus interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date the other Party paid the deposit until such reimbursement is made. In addition to all other rights to enforce such reimbursement otherwise available to the Party making payment as set out above, it shall have the right to set-off the amount of such reimbursement (including interest) against other monies due to the required Party.

(e) Each Party hereby appoints the other Party as its agent with regard to the payment referred to in Clause 11.4(d), it being agreed however that the appointed Party shall not have any obligation to make such security deposits on behalf of the appointing Party.

(f) Notwithstanding Clause 9.3, the Parties acknowledge that the transfer to the Purchaser after Closing of operating licences for WCBU Wells, pipelines and facilities included in the WCBU Assets that are operated by a Vendor in British Columbia (herein called individually a “B.C. Facility” or collectively the “B.C. Facilities”) may take a lengthy time for the OGC to process. Accordingly, subject to any reasonable directions provided by the Purchaser to the Vendors after Closing, the Parties agree to the following regarding the B.C. Facilities following the Closing Date:

(i) the Parties will work together in good faith to promptly execute and submit the applications for the licence transfers for B.C. Facilities on a diligent basis and take any lawful action to encourage the diligent processing by the OGC of such applications;

(ii) if the OGC has not approved a transfer of the operating licence for any B.C. Facility to the Purchaser or an Affiliate of the Purchaser within twelve (12) months of the Closing Date and such failure to transfer such licence is not attributable to delays in processing, then the Parties will meet to address this matter in accordance with Clause 9.3 provided, however, the Purchaser shall have the right to instruct the Vendors, and the Vendors shall comply with such instruction, to undertake all reasonable action in order to effect the transfer of the operating licence for the B.C. Facilities to the Purchaser. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the applicable Vendor may refuse to follow instructions that it

Page 79

believes, acting reasonably and in good faith, to be unlawful or in conflict with applicable WCBU Title and Operating Documents, Applicable Law or good oil and gas industry practices regarding the affected B.C. Facility by providing written notice to that effect to the Purchaser in a timely manner;

(iii) subject to the resolution agreed to between the Parties pursuant to Clause 11.4(f)(ii), from the Closing Date until the first day of the month following the month in which the OGC approves the transfer of the licence for the B.C. Facility to the Purchaser or its Affiliate, the B.C. Facility shall be operated by the Purchaser notwithstanding that a Vendor holds the operating licence to such B.C. Facility on the terms described in this Clause 11.4(f), it being hereby further agreed that each B.C. Facility licence may be separately transferred as soon as possible and that the operation of that B.C. Facility shall be for the account of the Purchaser notwithstanding that a Vendor remains the licenced operator for that B.C. Facility;

(iv) CPCRC on behalf of the Vendor holding the operating licence for a B.C. Facility shall promptly make all filings and payments required to maintain the licence for the B.C. Facility, provided that the Purchaser provides CPCRC on a timely basis with the necessary funds for any payments and with any information required from the Purchaser for such filings;

(v) each Vendor will forthwith provide or cause CPCRC to provide to the Purchaser all Third Party AFEs, notices, specific information, communications, invoices, billings, and other documents the Vendor receives respecting any B.C. Facility that is subject to this Clause 11.4(f), and will promptly respond to such AFEs, notices, information and other documents pursuant to the written instruction of the Purchaser, if received on a timely basis, provided that CPCRC and the applicable Vendor may refuse to follow instructions that it believes, acting reasonably and in good faith, to be unlawful or in conflict with applicable agreements regarding the affected B.C.

12.4 Indemnification Procedure – Third Party Claims

The following procedures shall be applicable to any Claim (a “Third Party Claim”) made against a Party (the “Indemnified Party”) by a Person other than such Indemnified Party or any of its Representatives for which it is entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Agreement from the other Party (the “Indemnifying Party”):

(a) upon the Third Party Claim being made or commenced against the Indemnified Party, the Indemnified Party shall promptly provide written notice thereof to the Indemnifying Party. The notice shall describe the Third Party Claim in reasonable detail and indicate the estimated amount, if practicable, of the indemnified Losses and Liabilities that have been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party in respect thereof. If the Indemnified Party does not give prompt notice to the Indemnifying Party as aforesaid, then such failure shall only lessen or limit the Indemnified Party’s rights to indemnity hereunder to the extent that the defence of the Third Party Claim was prejudiced by such lack of prompt notice;

(b) if the Indemnifying Party acknowledges to the Indemnified Party in writing that the Indemnifying Party is responsible to indemnify the Indemnified Party in respect of the Third Party Claim pursuant hereto, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to do either or both of the following:

(i) assume carriage of the defence of the Third Party Claim using legal counsel of its choice and at its sole cost; and

(ii) settle the Third Party Claim provided the Indemnifying Party pays the full monetary amount of the settlement and the settlement does not impose any unreasonable restrictions or obligations on the Indemnified Party;

(c) notwithstanding the assumption by the Indemnifying Party of the defence of the Claim, if the defendants in any such Claim shall include both the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party, and the Indemnified Party shall have reasonably concluded that counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party has a conflict of interest because of the availability of, or decision by either the Indemnifying Party or the Indemnified Party to put forward, different or additional defences to the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to select separate counsel to participate in the defence of the Claim on its behalf, at the expense of the Indemnifying Party;

(d) each Party shall cooperate with the other Party in the defence of the Third Party Claim, including making available to the other Party or its directors, officers, employees and consultants whose assistance, testimony or presence is of material assistance in evaluating and defending the Third Party Claim;

(e) the Indemnified Party shall not enter into any settlement, consent order or other compromise with respect to the Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) unless the Indemnified Party waives its rights to indemnification in respect of the Third Party Claim;

15. CONSOLIDATION AND JOINDER

15.1 The Parties agree that: (i) the Agreement; (ii) the Contingent Payment Agreement; (iii) the ROFR Agreement [REDACTED – Excluded Asset Specific Information]; (iv) the Technical Services Agreement or the principles thereof provided for in the Agreement if the Technical Services Agreement is not signed by Closing; (v) the Transition Services Agreement or the principles thereof provided for in the Agreement if the Transition Services Agreement is not signed by Closing; (vi) the Seismic License Agreement; and (vii) the Non-Compete Agreement (the “Related Agreements”) are substantially related and that it is in the interests of justice and efficiency that Disputes under the Agreement and the Related Agreements be resolved by a single arbitral tribunal whenever possible to avoid diverse findings on the same facts or law. To this end, the Parties agree that, subject to the provisions of Subsections 15.2 and 15.3 of this Arbitration Procedure, an arbitral tribunal appointed under the Agreement or a Related Agreement may exercise jurisdiction over Disputes and Parties under both the Agreement and one or more other Related Agreement.

15.2 The Parties consent to the consolidation of two or more arbitrations commenced under the Agreement and under one or more other Related Agreements as follows:

15.2.1 If:

15.2.1.1 an arbitration (a “Subsequent Arbitration”) is commenced under the Agreement or the Related Agreement within three (3) months of the commencement of a pre-existing arbitration under the Agreement or the Related Agreement (an “Existing Arbitration”);and

15.2.1.2 both the Subsequent Arbitration and Existing Arbitration are being heard by panels of three arbitrators as required by the Agreement and relevant Project Agreement,

such Subsequent Arbitration shall be consolidated into the Existing Arbitration upon the election of any party to the Existing Arbitration or Subsequent Arbitration. If any successive Subsequent Arbitration arises following the consolidation of Arbitrations under this Section 15.2 the consolidation of such successive Subsequent Arbitration with the Existing Arbitration shall be governed by Section 15.2.2 notwithstanding that it was commenced within three (3) months of the commencement date or prior consolidation date of the Existing Arbitration.

15.2.2 If a Subsequent Arbitration is commenced more than three (3) months from the commencement of the Existing Arbitration, and provided that both arbitrations are being heard by panels of three arbitrators as required by the Agreement and relevant Project Agreement, the following rules shall apply:

15.2.2.1 If the initiating party of a Subsequent Arbitration desires that it be consolidated with an Existing Arbitration, it shall so indicate in its Request for Arbitration pursuant to Article 4 of the ICC Rules. In this case, notwithstanding Section 15.2 above, the initiating party shall not nominate an arbitrator, but shall instead apply to the arbitral tribunal in the Existing Arbitration for a consolidation order (a “Consolidation Application”). The responding party shall reply to the Consolidation Application with its Answer pursuant to Article 5 of the ICC Rules.

15.2.2.2 If the initiating party of a Subsequent Arbitration does not make a Consolidation Application with its Request for Arbitration pursuant to Article 4 of the ICC Rules, and the responding party wishes that the Existing Arbitration and Subsequent Arbitration be consolidated, notwithstanding Section 15.2 above, the responding party shall not nominate an arbitrator, but shall instead serve a Consolidation Application with its Answer pursuant to Article 5 of the ICC Rules. The initiating party shall deliver its reply to the responding party’s Consolidation Application within 14 Days of receiving the Answer and the Consolidation Application.

15.2.2.3 When a Consolidation Application is made under this Section, the arbitral tribunal in the Existing Arbitration shall, in its discretion, order that the Existing Arbitration and Subsequent Arbitration be consolidated or not consolidated. In making this determination, the arbitral tribunal shall have regard to whether the arbitrations raise common issues of law or fact, whether justice and efficiency would be served by consolidation, and whatever other criteria it deems relevant and necessary.

15.2.2.4 If the arbitral tribunal in the Existing Arbitration orders consolidation of the arbitrations, the Subsequent Arbitration shall be consolidated into the Existing Arbitration.

15.2.2.5 If the arbitral tribunal in the Existing Arbitration declines to consolidate the arbitrations, the Parties shall within 14 Days of the tribunal’s order nominate any party-nominated arbitrators that have not yet been nominated in the Subsequent Arbitration. The party-nominated arbitrators shall select the President of the tribunal in accordance with Section 15.2 above, and the Subsequent Arbitration shall proceed in accordance with the ICC Rules independently of the Existing Arbitration.

15.2.2.6 The determination by the arbitral tribunal in the Existing Arbitration of whether to consolidate or not consolidate arbitrations under the Agreement and the Related Agreement shall be final and binding on the Parties and shall not be subject to any appeal or set-aside proceedings.

15.2.2.7 If an Existing Arbitration and Subsequent Arbitration are consolidated in accordance with Sections 15.2.1 above or this Section 15.2.2, each Party to the Subsequent Arbitration shall be bound in respect of any arbitrator appointment or other arbitration process decisions already made by Parties or tribunal in the Existing Arbitration. If any arbitrators were appointed in the Subsequent Arbitration prior to consolidation, their appointment terminates upon the consolidation and they shall be deemed to be functus officio. Such termination shall be without prejudice to the date when any claim or defence was raised for the purpose of applying any limitation bar or any like rule or provision.

15.2.2.8 Where an Existing Arbitration and Subsequent Arbitration are governed by different legislation (e.g., the Arbitration Act (Alberta) and the International Commercial Arbitration Act (Alberta)), the Parties agree that the arbitrations shall not be consolidated, but rather the Parties’ consent to consolidation and all references to consolidation in this Section 15.2 shall be deemed to be consent to, and references to, concurrent hearings before the same arbitral tribunal.

15.3 The Parties agree that in any arbitration under the Agreement, a Party to the Related Agreement may be joined pursuant to Article 7 of the ICC Rules, and that an arbitral tribunal appointed under the Agreement may exercise jurisdiction over a Party to the Related Agreement. Likewise, the Parties agree that in any arbitration under the Related Agreement, a Party to the Agreement may be joined pursuant to Article 7 of the ICC Rules, and that an arbitral tribunal appointed under the Related Agreement may exercise jurisdiction over a Party to the Agreement.

16. CONFIDENTIALITY

The Parties agree that any arbitration carried out hereunder shall be kept private and confidential, and that the existence of the arbitration and any element of it (including all awards, the identity of the Parties and all witnesses and experts, all materials created for the purposes of the arbitration, all testimony or other oral submissions, and all documents produced by a Party that were not already in the possession of the other Party) shall be kept confidential, except (i) with the consent of the Parties, (ii) with Affiliates, employees, and professional advisors who need to know such information for legitimate business purposes and who are bound to obligations of confidentiality consistent with the obligations in this Section 16, (iii) to the extent disclosure may be lawfully required in bona fide judicial proceedings relating to the arbitration, (iv) where disclosure is lawfully required by a legal duty, and (v) where such information is already in the public domain other than as a result of a breach of this clause. The Parties also agree not to use any information disclosed to them during the arbitration for any purpose other than in connection with the arbitration.

17. PERFORMANCE TO CONTINUE

The Parties agree that during the resolution of a Dispute pursuant to the Arbitration Procedure, the Parties shall continue to perform their obligations under the Agreement, provided that such performance shall be without prejudice to the rights and remedies of the Parties and shall not be read or construed as a waiver of a Party’s right to claim for recovery of any loss, costs, expenses or damages suffered as a result of the continued performance of the Agreement.

18. TOLLING OF LIMITATION PERIODS

The Parties agree that any limitation period imposed by the Agreement or by law in respect of a Dispute shall be tolled upon the delivery of a Notice of Dispute pursuant to Section 2 hereto until such time as the Arbitration Procedure has concluded.

19. NO WITHHOLDING OF UNDISPUTED PAYMENTS

Except as otherwise specifically permitted by the Agreement, no undisputed payment due or payable by a Party shall be withheld on account of a pending negotiation or arbitration pursuant to the Arbitration Procedure.

Any agreement to effect a Disposition or a Change of Control (a “Divestiture Agreement”) entered into by COPCO or any of the Vendors during the ROFR Period shall be subject to the following procedure:

(a) Within five (5) Business Days of entering into such Divestiture Agreement, Vendors must provide Purchaser with written notice (the “Divestiture Notice”) which shall include:

(B) the identity of the proposed assignee (in the case of a Disposition) or counterparty (in the case of a Change of Control);

(C) if:

(1) a Disposition either:

B. where such purchase price or a portion thereof was not cash and cannot reasonably be matched by Purchaser, Vendor’s bona fide estimate of the Cash Value of such purchase price,

provided that, in the case where such Disposition involved more assets than the applicable Assets [REDACTED – Excluded Asset Specific Information], Vendor shall provide its bona fide allocation of A. and/or B., as applicable, to the applicable Asset. [REDACTED – Excluded Asset Specific Information]

(2) a Change of Control either:

B. if such Change of Control was of the type contemplated by Section 2.1(e)(ii):

I. a bona fide allocation of such purchase price to the applicable Asset; and [REDACTED – Excluded Asset Specific Information]

(ii) whether, and the extent to which, the applicable Assets are subject to a Pre- Existing ROFR and that portion of the purchase price or Cash Value, as applicable, attributable to the Assets subject to such Pre-Existing ROFR. [REDACTED – Excluded Asset Specific Information]

(b) Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that its rights under this Section 2.1 are subject to the satisfaction, waiver or expiry of any Pre-Existing ROFR. The time for Purchaser’s exercise under the Divestiture Notice will commence:

(i) in the case where there is no Pre-Existing ROFR, from the date of Purchaser’s receipt of such Divestiture Notice; and

(ii) in the case where there is a Pre-Existing ROFR, from the date by which Purchaser receives a further notice from Vendor advising as to the satisfaction, waiver or expiry, as applicable, of any such Pre-Existing ROFR.

(c) If, in respect of any Divestiture Notice, Purchaser objects to:

(i) the purchase price referenced therein or allocation thereof;or

(ii) the Cash Value referenced therein or any allocation thereof,

Purchaser must, within seven (7) Business Days after its receipt of that estimate, serve notice to the Vendors of that objection. Either of the Parties may refer the matter for resolution under Article 5 after receipt of any such notice. The Parties hereby acknowledge and agree that for any matter so referred, the Parties shall jointly direct the panel of arbitrators to deliver a decision no later than thirty (30) days following the panel being constituted. The purchase price or equivalent Cash Value (or any allocation thereof) determined thereunder as the case may be, will be deemed to be applicable to the Asset [REDACTED – Excluded Asset Specific Information]described in the Divestiture Notice. If Purchaser fails to serve such a notice of objection within that period, Purchaser will be precluded from challenging that estimate.

(d) Purchaser will be deemed to have elected not to exercise its right to acquire the Assets to which a Divestiture Notice pertains unless it serves notice to Vendors that it elects to acquire such Assets (a “Notice of Acceptance”), by the date which is the later of: [REDACTED – Excluded Asset Specific Information]

(i) the date which is:

(ii) the date which is five (5) Days following any final determination of any matter in respect of the Divestiture Notice referenced for resolution under Article 5.

Delivery of such Notice of Acceptance creates a binding contractual obligation on Vendors and Purchasers to proceed with the applicable transaction pursuant to Section 2.1(e).

(e) If the Divestiture Notice is in respect of:

(i) a Non-Exempt Change of Control of a Vendor or Affiliate thereof, [REDACTED – Information regarding business activities. Commercially Sensitive Information] Assets [REDACTED – Excluded Asset Specific Information]or at the time of Non-Exempt Change of Control, the Vendor’s or Affiliate thereof’s sole asset is the Asset [REDACTED – Excluded Asset Specific Information], the Purchaser’s right of first refusal shall be a right to acquire the shares, partnership interests or other equity interest of such Vendor or Affiliate thereof (the “Equity Interest”) pursuant to the same terms as set forth in the Divestiture Notice and for a purchase price equal to the purchase price or Cash Value, as applicable, set forth in such Divestiture Notice, or as determined pursuant to Section 2.1(c) which shall be entered into by the Parties no later than the date which is 30 days following receipt by Vendor of the Notice of Acceptance.

  (ii) a Non-Exempt Change of Control of a Vendor or Affiliate thereof, [REDACTED – Information regarding business activities. Commercially Sensitive Information] Assets [REDACTED – Excluded Asset Specific Information], the Purchaser’s right of first refusal shall be a right to acquire the applicable Asset [REDACTED – Excluded Asset Specific Information] held by such Vendor or Affiliate thereof, for a purchase price equal to the purchase price or estimated Cash Value set forth in the Divestiture Notice or as may be determined pursuant to Section 2.1(c) (the “ROFR Purchase Price”), pursuant to an asset sale agreement to be negotiated by the Parties, provided that, if such asset sale agreement has not been agreed to by the date which is within thirty (30) days following receipt by Vendor of the Notice of Acceptance, or in the case where a dispute is referenced for

resolution pursuant to Section 2.1(c), thirty (30) days from any resolution therefrom; (the “Agreement Deadline”), the Parties shall (or shall cause their applicable Affiliate, as applicable) to execute and deliver to each other a 2000 CAPL Property Transfer Procedure with a purchase price equal to the ROFR Purchase Price and with the elections as specified in Schedule “D”, within a further five (5) Business Days from the Agreement Deadline.

  (iii) by virtue of a Disposition, the Purchaser’s right of first refusal shall be a right to acquire the applicable Asset [REDACTED – Excluded Asset Specific Information]which is the subject of such Disposition, on the same terms and conditions set forth in the Divestiture Notice and for a purchase price equal to the purchase price or Cash Value, as applicable, set forth in such Divestiture Notice, or as determined pursuant to Section 2.1(c) which shall be entered into by the Parties no later than the date which is 30 days following receipt by Vendor of the Notice of Acceptance.

(f) Vendors may effect the Disposition of the Assets [REDACTED – Excluded Asset Specific Information]or effect the Change of Control described in the Divestiture Notice within one hundred and fifty (150) Days after issuance of that Divestiture Notice (provided that Vendor shall be entitled to a one-time extension of forty five (45) Days, if requested by Vendor prior to the expiry of such period) if Purchaser does not deliver a Notice of Acceptance within the periods contemplated in Section 2.1(d). However, Vendors may not effect the Disposition or the Change of Control on terms that are more favourable than those offered in the Divestiture Notice.

(g) If the proposed Disposition or Non-Exempt Change of Control described in the Divestiture Notice did not occur within the period referenced in 2.1(f), the provisions of this Section 2.1 will thereafter apply to any subsequent Disposition or Non-Exempt Change of Control.

2.2 Notice of Certain of Exempt Dispositions or Exempt Changes of Control

Notwithstanding that the right of first refusal contemplated by this Article 2 does not apply to any Exempt Disposition or Exempt Change of Control, Vendor shall within fifteen (15) days after the end of each calendar quarter, provide Purchaser with a Notice listing all Exempt Dispositions and Exempt Changes of Control which shall include reasonable particulars, including the identification of any lands which form the subject of any Optimization Transaction.

3

the Non-Compete Agreement (the “Related Agreements”) are substantially related and that it is in the interests of justice and efficiency that Disputes under the Agreement and the Related Agreements be resolved by a single arbitral tribunal whenever possible to avoid diverse findings on the same facts or law. To this end, the Parties agree that, subject to the provisions of Subsections 15.2 and 15.3 of this Arbitration Procedure, an arbitral tribunal appointed under the Agreement or a Related Agreement may exercise jurisdiction over Disputes and Parties under both the Agreement and one or more other Related Agreement.

15.2 The Parties consent to the consolidation of two or more arbitrations commenced under the Agreement and under one or more other Related Agreements as follows:

15.2.1 If:

15.2.1.1 an arbitration (a “Subsequent Arbitration”) is commenced under the Agreement or the Related Agreement within three (3) months of the commencement of a pre-existing arbitration under the Agreement or the Related Agreement (an “Existing Arbitration”); and

15.2.1.2 both the Subsequent Arbitration and Existing Arbitration are being heard by panels of three arbitrators as required by the Agreement and relevant Project Agreement,

such Subsequent Arbitration shall be consolidated into the Existing Arbitration upon the election of any party to the Existing Arbitration or Subsequent Arbitration. If any successive Subsequent Arbitration arises following the consolidation of Arbitrations under this Section 15.2 the consolidation of such successive Subsequent Arbitration with the Existing Arbitration shall be governed by Section 15.2.2 notwithstanding that it was commenced within three (3) months of the commencement date or prior consolidation date of the Existing Arbitration.

15.2.2 If a Subsequent Arbitration is commenced more than three (3) months from the commencement of the Existing Arbitration, and provided that both arbitrations are being heard by panels of three arbitrators as required by the Agreement and relevant Project Agreement, the following rules shall apply:

15.2.2.1 If the initiating party of a Subsequent Arbitration desires that it be consolidated with an Existing Arbitration, it shall so indicate in its Request for Arbitration pursuant to Article 4 of the ICC Rules. In this case, notwithstanding Section 15.2 above, the initiating party shall not nominate an arbitrator, but shall instead apply to the arbitral tribunal in the Existing Arbitration for a consolidation order (a “Consolidation Application”). The responding party shall reply to the Consolidation Application with its Answer pursuant to Article 5 of the ICC Rules.

15.2.2.2 If the initiating party of a Subsequent Arbitration does not make a Consolidation Application with its Request for Arbitration pursuant to Article 4 of the ICC Rules, and the responding party wishes that the Existing Arbitration and Subsequent Arbitration be consolidated, notwithstanding Section 15.2 above, the responding party shall not nominate an arbitrator, but shall instead serve a Consolidation Application with its Answer pursuant to Article 5 of the ICC Rules. The initiating party shall deliver its reply to the responding party’s Consolidation Application within 14 Days of receiving the Answer and the Consolidation Application.

15.2.2.3 When a Consolidation Application is made under this Section, the arbitral tribunal in the Existing Arbitration shall, in its discretion, order that the Existing Arbitration and Subsequent Arbitration be consolidated or not consolidated. In making this determination, the arbitral tribunal shall have regard to whether the arbitrations raise common issues of law or fact, whether justice and efficiency would be served by consolidation, and whatever other criteria it deems relevant and necessary.

4

15.2.2.4 If the arbitral tribunal in the Existing Arbitration orders consolidation of the arbitrations, the Subsequent Arbitration shall be consolidated into the Existing Arbitration.

15.2.2.5 If the arbitral tribunal in the Existing Arbitration declines to consolidate the arbitrations, the Parties shall within 14 Days of the tribunal’s order nominate any party-nominated arbitrators that have not yet been nominated in the Subsequent Arbitration.

15.2.2.8 Where an Existing Arbitration and Subsequent Arbitration are governed by different legislation (e.g., the Arbitration Act (Alberta) and the International Commercial Arbitration Act (Alberta)), the Parties agree that the arbitrations shall not be consolidated, but rather the Parties’ consent to consolidation and all references to consolidation in this Section 15.2 shall be deemed to be consent to, and references to, concurrent hearings before the same arbitral tribunal.

17. PERFORMANCE TO CONTINUE

The Parties agree that during the resolution of a Dispute pursuant to the Arbitration Procedure, the Parties shall continue to perform their obligations under the Agreement, provided that such performance shall be without prejudice to the rights and remedies of the Parties and shall not be read or construed as a waiver of a Party’s right to claim for recovery of any loss, costs, expenses or damages suffered as a result of the continued performance of the Agreement.

18. TOLLING OF LIMITATION PERIODS

The Parties agree that any limitation period imposed by the Agreement or by law in respect of a Dispute shall be tolled upon the delivery of a Notice of Dispute pursuant to Section 2 hereto until such time as the Arbitration Procedure has concluded.

BOOKS AND RECORDS

5.1 Books and Records

CVE, or its successors, shall maintain, or cause to be maintained, complete books and records pertaining to (i) the information required to be included in the Contingent Payment Statements, and (ii) all calculations made by CVE to determine the amount of the Adjusted Contingent Payment. Such books and records shall be kept during the Term and for a period of seven (7) years thereafter and, insofar as they are relevant to an audit conducted pursuant to Section 5.2, until such audit and all Audit Queries arising therefrom have been finally completed.

5.2 Audit

(a) Upon notice to CVE (an “Audit Notice”), CPCRC shall have the right to have an audit of the books and records referred to in Section 5.1 conducted within the twenty-six (26) calendar months next following the end of the calendar year to which they relate for purposes of verifying the Adjusted Contingent Payment and all calculations relied on in arriving at such amount for any Quarterly Period or Quarterly Periods in such calendar year. The costs of any such audit shall be borne by CPCRC.

(b) An audit pursuant to this Section 5.2 must be conducted by an internal or independent auditor (the “Auditor”) designated by CPCRC who is qualified by experience or training to conduct the audit and is acceptable to CVE, acting reasonably. Following receipt of an Audit Notice, CVE agrees to make all personnel responsible for calculating the Adjusted Contingent Payment and all books and records relating to the calculation of the Adjusted Contingent Payment available to the Auditor on request therefor by CPCRC.

(c) The Auditor will be required to enter into a confidentiality agreement with CVE whereby the Auditor agrees to keep all information disclosed to the Auditor in the audit confidential except disclosures to CPCRC. Such confidentiality agreement will be in a form acceptable to CVE, acting reasonably, and will contain terms customary in such circumstances.

(d) Before submitting an audit report to CPCRC, the Auditor will submit Audit Queries to CVE and make good faith attempts to resolve the Audit Queries with CVE. An “Audit Query” is a suspected or actual error, miscalculation, omission, missing information, discrepancy or concern which either: (i) causes the Auditor to believe that there may have been an error in the calculation of the Adjusted Contingent Payment for any Quarterly Period; or (ii) renders the Auditor unable to verify the accuracy of any such calculations.

(e) The Auditor will be entitled to disclose to and discuss with CPCRC all information relating to the audit.

(f) A Contingent Payment Statement submitted by CVE to CPCRC pursuant to Section 3.6 in respect of a Quarterly Period shall be deemed to be true and correct twenty-six (26) calendar months following the end of such calendar year except with respect to unresolved Audit Queries raised pursuant to an audit conducted under this Section 5.2 resulting from an Audit Notice delivered to CVE within such twenty-six (26) month period.

(g) Provided that CVE has made all relevant auditable records available in a timely fashion: (i) CPCRC shall cause the Auditor to complete an audit pursuant to this Section 5.2 within one hundred and eighty (180) days of receipt by CVE of the Audit Notice; and (ii) the Auditor shall not be entitled to raise any Audit Queries and CPCRC shall not be entitled to make any claims arising out of the audit more than three hundred and sixty (360) days after the receipt of the Audit Notice by CVE. CVE and the Auditor will attempt to resolve all Audit Queries within ninety (90) days of completion of the audit.

(h) If CPCRC and CVE are unable to resolve any Dispute in respect of an Audit Query, the matter shall be referred to an expert pursuant to Section 10.21.

(ii) enter into a written, enforceable agreement with CPCRC to assume the obligations of CVE under this Agreement that correspond to the interest acquired by such Person.

(c) in the event, in connection with such transfer or assignment to a Third Party, the Third Party does not acquire, directly or indirectly, all or any portion of CVE’s direct or indirect interest in the FCCL Partnership or the FCCL Partnership Assets, CVE shall remain subject to its obligations under Sections 2, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12.

If CVE transfers or assigns an interest to a Third Party in contravention of the provisions of Section 6.2(b), notwithstanding any other rights that CPCRC may have under this Agreement, in equity or under Applicable Laws, CVE shall remain liable for and guarantee the performance by such Third Party of all of the obligations assigned to it under this Agreement, whether accrued prior to or after such assumption.

- 18 -

interim measures in a given jurisdiction. The Parties agree that seeking and obtaining such interim measures shall not waive the right to arbitration.

10.20 Confidentiality

Subject to Article 8, all negotiations, arbitration, and expert determinations relating to a Dispute (including a settlement resulting from negotiation, an arbitral award, documents exchanged or produced during an arbitration proceeding, and memorials, briefs or other documents prepared for the arbitration) are confidential and may not be disclosed by the Parties or their respective Affiliates, counsel and expert witnesses provided, however, that breach of this confidentiality provision shall not void any settlement, expert determination or award.

10.21 Expert Determination

Any reference to an expert hereunder shall be conducted expeditiously. The expert will not be an arbitrator and will be deemed not to be acting in an arbitral capacity. The Party desiring an expert determination shall give the other Party written notice of the request for such determination. If the Parties are unable to agree upon an expert within ten (10) days after receipt of the notice of request for an expert determination, then, upon the request of either of the Parties, the International Centre for Expertise of the ICC shall appoint such expert and shall administer such expert determination through the ICC’s Rules for Expertise.

provided, however, that any ConocoPhillips Entity (or an Affiliate thereof) who acquires any Common Shares as a result of any of the foregoing provisions shall: (i) to the extent that it is already a Party to this Agreement, continue to be bound by this Agreement in respect of all Common Shares beneficially owned, or over which control or direction is exercised, directly or indirectly, at any time; and (ii) to the extent that, prior to such acquisition, it was not a Party to this Agreement, agrees to be bound by and become a Party to this Agreement as a “ConocoPhillips Entity” (and ConocoPhillips agrees to cause such ConocoPhillips Entity (or any Affiliate) to become a party hereto) and, concurrent with the completion of such Transfer shall validly execute and deliver a joinder or similar document in order to effect the foregoing.

3.3 Transfers to Affiliates

Notwithstanding Section 3.2, a ConocoPhillips Entity may Transfer all or any portion of the Common Shares legally or beneficially owned by such ConocoPhillips Entity to an Affiliate of such ConocoPhillips Entity, provided that such Affiliate agrees to be bound by and become a Party to this Agreement as and in the manner contemplated in the final paragraph of Section 3.2.

ARTICLE 4

CONFIDENTIALITY AND RIGHTS TO INFORMATION

4.1 No Rights to Information

Each ConocoPhillips Entity agrees that neither it nor its Affiliates or their respective Representatives shall have any rights under this Agreement to be provided or obtain from Cenovus, and Cenovus shall have no duty or obligation under this Agreement to provide to any ConocoPhillips Entity or its Affiliates or their respective Representatives, any material non-public information that has not been generally disclosed to the public (including any information which Cenovus senior management determines could reasonably constitute a material change or material fact under Applicable Securities Laws) or any other preferential treatment with respect to access to Cenovus’s material information, including with respect to Cenovus’s annual and quarterly reporting. The Parties further agree that the ConocoPhillips Entities, their Affiliates and their respective Representatives will not be provided with any enhanced or special access to Cenovus management, and will be afforded the same access to Cenovus management as any other shareholder of Cenovus, having regard to the ConocoPhillips Entities’ collective securities ownership in Cenovus at the relevant time, and that Cenovus’s management shall have no reporting requirement or relationship with any ConocoPhillips Entity, either formally or informally, other than through Cenovus’s customary investor relations functions.

4.2 Confidential Information

Each ConocoPhillips Entity hereby agrees that, without the prior written consent of Cenovus (which consent may, in the sole discretion of Cenovus, be withheld or given subject to such conditions as Cenovus may in its sole discretion determine), neither it nor any of its Affiliates, nor any of their respective Representatives acting on behalf of any ConocoPhillips Entity or any of its Affiliates (each an “Informed Party”), will at any time use, disclose or make available, to any Person, any information (herein “Confidential Information”) concerning the business or activities carried on by Cenovus which is acquired in connection with the matters, transactions or activities contemplated herein or in the Registration Rights Agreement, provided that notwithstanding the foregoing, an Informed Party may make use of, reveal or disclose Confidential Information:

(a) where it is already in the public domain when disclosed to the Informed Party or becomes, after having been disclosed to the Informed Party, generally available to the public through publication or otherwise, unless the publication or other disclosure was made directly or indirectly by the Informed Party in breach of this Agreement;

(b) as legally required in order to comply with applicable Laws, the orders or directives of any Governmental Authority or court of competent jurisdiction, the requirements of any stock exchange, or an order, directive or requirement of any other regulatory authority having jurisdiction over the Informed Party; or

(c) where it was made available to the Informed Party on a non-confidential basis from a third party source (excluding any other Informed Party or an Affiliate or Representative of an Informed Party

or its Affiliate) which, to the knowledge of the Informed Party, acting reasonably, is not subject to an obligation of confidentiality in relation to such information.

If an Informed Party or any of its Affiliates or their respective Representatives becomes legally required pursuant to Section 4.2(b) to disclose any Confidential Information, the Informed Party will, to the extent practicable and not prohibited by applicable Law, provide Cenovus with prompt written notice of such requirement so that Cenovus may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy (at Cenovus’s sole cost and expense, unless such requirement to disclose is the result of a breach by any ConocoPhillips Entity or its Affiliates or Representatives of the confidentiality obligations under this Section 4.2), or waive compliance by the Informed Party or an applicable Affiliate or Representative with this paragraph. If such protective order or remedy is not obtained, the Informed Party will (and, in any case where the applicable request, order or other requirement is directed or applicable to an Affiliate or Representative of the Informed Party or its Affiliate, will cause such Affiliate or Representative to) furnish only that portion of such Confidential Information that is legally required to be disclosed and will use reasonable commercial efforts to obtain (at Cenovus’s sole cost and expense, unless such requirement to disclose is the result of a breach by any ConocoPhillips Entity or its Affiliates or Representatives of the confidentiality obligations under this Section 4.2) an assurance that such Confidential Information that is disclosed will be accorded confidential treatment. In addition, the Informed Party will (and will cause its applicable Affiliates and their respective Representatives to) provide all cooperation that Cenovus may reasonably request in connection with any effort on the part of Cenovus to obtain any such protective order or other remedy.

4.3 Access to Investor Meetings

Cenovus shall invite ConocoPhillips to attend any investor day and provide access to any management presentations provided by Cenovus on the same basis as other institutional investors beneficially owning Common Shares.

4.4 Cooperation Concerning Reporting Matters

For as long as any ConocoPhillips Entity is required by Law, as reasonably determined by ConocoPhillips, to include any information with respect to Cenovus or the assets purchased in the Acquisition Transaction in any document filed with or submitted to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, Cenovus shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to provide, at ConocoPhillips’ sole cost and expense, such assistance as ConocoPhillips reasonably requests to comply with Applicable Securities Laws.

GENERAL PROVISIONS

Each of the Parties hereto will promptly do, make, execute or deliver, or cause to be done, made, executed or delivered, all such further acts, documents and things as the other Party hereto may reasonably require from time to time for the purpose of giving effect to this Agreement and will use reasonable efforts and take all such steps as may be reasonably within its power to implement to their full extent the provisions of this Agreement, in each case at such Party’s own cost and expense (except as otherwise explicitly addressed in this Agreement).

6.2 Severability

If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule or law, or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement will nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any Party. Upon any determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the Parties to this Agreement will negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner to the end that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are fulfilled to the fullest extent possible.

Upon any permitted transferee(s) or assignee(s) executing an instrument in writing agreeing to be bound by this Agreement, the transferee(s) or assignee(s) will be entitled to its benefit and be bound by all of its terms as if it were an original signatory hereto as a “ConocoPhillips Entity”. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 6.3 shall in any way restrict or limit any Transfer otherwise permitted pursuant to Sections 3.2(c), 3.3 or 3.4.

This Agreement may not be assigned by Cenovus without the prior written consent of each ConocoPhillips Entity, provided that in the event the Common Shares are converted, reclassified, exchanged or otherwise changed pursuant to a reorganization, amalgamation, merger, arrangement or other form of reorganization in which the shareholders of Cenovus will continue to hold at least 50% of the voting common equity interests of the surviving entity, this Agreement may be assigned by Cenovus to its successor pursuant to any such transaction without the prior written consent of the ConocoPhillips Entities.

6.4 Remedies and Breaches

(a) Each of the ConocoPhillips Entities, on the one hand (and for the purposes of this Section 6.4 collectively considered to be a “Party”), and Cenovus, on the other hand, acknowledges and agrees that irreparable injury to the other Party hereto may occur in the event any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with its specific terms or was otherwise breached and that such injury may not be adequately compensable in damages. It is accordingly agreed that each of the ConocoPhillips Entities, on the one hand, and Cenovus, on the other hand, shall, in addition to any other remedy to which they may be entitled at law or in equity, each be entitled to seek specific enforcement of, and injunctive relief to prevent any violation of, the terms hereof and the other Party hereto will not take any action, directly or indirectly, in opposition to the Party seeking relief on the grounds that any other remedy or relief is available at law or in equity. The prevailing Party in any such action shall be entitled to recover legal fees and expenses from the non-prevailing Party.

(b) Each ConocoPhillips Entity on the one hand, and Cenovus on the other hand, acknowledges that it shall be liable for any breach of this Agreement by any of its Affiliates or any of its or its Affiliates’ Representatives or other Persons acting on their behalf, and that it shall inform its and its Affiliates’ Representatives of the terms of this Agreement and shall cause them to comply with them.

15. CONSOLIDATION AND JOINDER

15.1 The Parties agree that: (i) the Agreement; and (ii) the Contingent Payment Agreement, ROFR Agreement [REDACTED – Excluded Asset Specific Information], Technical Services Agreement, Transition Services Agreement, [Seismic License Agreement] and Non-Compete Agreement (the “Related Agreements”) are substantially related and that it is in the interests of justice and efficiency that Disputes under the Agreement and the Related Agreements be resolved by a single arbitral tribunal whenever possible to avoid diverse findings on the same facts or law. To this

3

end, the Parties agree that, subject to the provisions of Subsections 15.2 and 15.3 of this Arbitration Procedure, an arbitral tribunal appointed under the Agreement or a Related Agreement may exercise jurisdiction over Disputes and Parties under both the Agreement and one or more other Related Agreement.

15.2 The Parties consent to the consolidation of two or more arbitrations commenced under this Agreement and under one or more other Related Agreements as follows:

15.2.1 If:

15.2.1.1 an arbitration (a “Subsequent Arbitration”) is commenced under the Agreement or the Related Agreement within three (3) months of the commencement of a pre-existing arbitration under the Agreement or the Related Agreement (an “Existing Arbitration”); and

15.2.1.2 both the Subsequent Arbitration and Existing Arbitration are being heard by panels of three arbitrators as required by the Agreement and relevant Project Agreement,

such Subsequent Arbitration shall be consolidated into the Existing Arbitration upon the election of any party to the Existing Arbitration or Subsequent Arbitration. If any successive Subsequent Arbitration arises following the consolidation of Arbitrations under this Section 15.2, the consolidation of such successive Subsequent Arbitration with the Existing Arbitration shall be governed by Section 15.2.2 notwithstanding that it was commenced within three (3) months of the commencement date or prior consolidation date of the Existing Arbitration.

15.2.2 If a Subsequent Arbitration is commenced more than three (3) months from the commencement of the Existing Arbitration, and provided that both arbitrations are being heard by panels of three arbitrators as required by the Agreement and relevant Project Agreement, the following rules shall apply:

15.2.2.1 If the initiating party of a Subsequent Arbitration desires that it be consolidated with an Existing Arbitration, it shall so indicate in its Request for Arbitration pursuant to Article 4 of the ICC Rules. In this case, notwithstanding Section 15.2 above, the initiating party shall not nominate an arbitrator, but shall instead apply to the arbitral tribunal in the Existing Arbitration for a consolidation order (a “Consolidation Application”). The responding party shall reply to the Consolidation Application with its Answer pursuant to Article 5 of the ICC Rules.

15.2.2.2 If the initiating party of a Subsequent Arbitration does not make a Consolidation Application with its Request for Arbitration pursuant to Article 4 of the ICC Rules, and the responding party wishes that the Existing Arbitration and Subsequent Arbitration be consolidated, notwithstanding Section 15.2 above, the responding party shall not nominate an arbitrator, but shall instead serve a Consolidation Application with its Answer pursuant to Article 5 of the ICC Rules. The initiating party shall deliver its reply to the responding party’s Consolidation Application within 14 Days of receiving the Answer and the ConsolidationApplication.

15.2.2.3 When a Consolidation Application is made under this Section, the arbitral tribunal in the Existing Arbitration shall, in its discretion, order that the Existing Arbitration and Subsequent Arbitration be consolidated or not consolidated. In making this determination, the arbitral tribunal shall have regard to whether the arbitrations raise common issues of law or fact, whether justice and efficiency would be served by consolidation, and whatever other criteria it deems relevant and necessary.

4

15.2.2.4 If the arbitral tribunal in the Existing Arbitration orders consolidation of the arbitrations, the Subsequent Arbitration shall be consolidated into the Existing Arbitration.

15.2.2.5 If the arbitral tribunal in the Existing Arbitration declines to consolidate the arbitrations, the Parties shall within 14 Days of the tribunal’s order nominate any party-nominated arbitrators that have not yet been nominated in the Subsequent Arbitration. The party-nominated arbitrators shall select the President of the tribunal in accordance with Section 15.2 above, and the Subsequent Arbitration shall proceed in accordance with the ICC Rules independently of the ExistingArbitration.

15.2.2.6 The determination by the arbitral tribunal in the Existing Arbitration of whether to consolidate or not consolidate arbitrations under the Agreement and the Related Agreement shall be final and binding on the Parties and shall not be subject to any appeal or set-aside proceedings.

15.2.2.7 If an Existing Arbitration and Subsequent Arbitration are consolidated in accordance with Sections 15.2.1 above or this Section 15.2.2, each Party to the Subsequent Arbitration shall be bound in respect of any arbitrator appointment or other arbitration process decisions already made by Parties or tribunal in the Existing Arbitration. If any arbitrators were appointed in the Subsequent Arbitration prior to consolidation, their appointment terminates upon the consolidation and they shall be deemed to be functus officio. Such termination shall be without prejudice to the date when any claim or defence was raised for the purpose of applying any limitation bar or any like rule or provision.

15.2.2.8 Where an Existing Arbitration and Subsequent Arbitration are governed by different legislation (e.g., the Arbitration Act (Alberta) and the International Commercial Arbitration Act (Alberta)), the Parties agree that the arbitrations shall not be consolidated, but rather the Parties’ consent to consolidation and all references to consolidation in this Section 15.2 shall be deemed to be consent to, and references to, concurrent hearings before the same arbitraltribunal.

15.3 The Parties agree that in any arbitration under the Agreement, a Party to the Related Agreement may be joined pursuant to Article 7 of the ICC Rules, and that an arbitral tribunal appointed under the Agreement may exercise jurisdiction over a Party to the Related Agreement. Likewise, the Parties agree that in any arbitration under the Related Agreement, a Party to the Agreement may be joined pursuant to Article 7 of the ICC Rules, and that an arbitral tribunal appointed under the Related Agreement may exercise jurisdiction over a Party to theAgreement.

16. CONFIDENTIALITY

The Parties agree that any arbitration carried out hereunder shall be kept private and confidential, and that the existence of the arbitration and any element of it (including all awards, the identity of the Parties and all witnesses and experts, all materials created for the purposes of the arbitration, all testimony or other oral submissions, and all documents produced by a Party that were not already in the possession of the other Party) shall be kept confidential, except (i) with the consent of the Parties, (ii) with Affiliates, employees, and professional advisors who need to know such information for legitimate business purposes and who are bound to obligations of confidentiality consistent with the obligations in this Section 16, (iii) to the extent disclosure may be lawfully required in bona fide judicial proceedings relating to the arbitration, (iv) where disclosure is lawfully required by a legal duty, and (v) where such information is already in the public domain other than as a result of a breach of this clause. The Parties also agree not to use any information disclosed to them during the arbitration for any purpose other than in connection with the arbitration.

5

17. PERFORMANCE TO CONTINUE

The Parties agree that during the resolution of a Dispute pursuant to the Arbitration Procedure, the Parties shall continue to perform their obligations under the Agreement, provided that such performance shall be without prejudice to the rights and remedies of the Parties and shall not be read or construed as a waiver of a Party’s right to claim for recovery of any loss, costs, expenses or damages suffered as a result of the continued performance of the Agreement.

18. TOLLING OF LIMITATIONPERIODS

The Parties agree that any limitation period imposed by the Agreement or by law in respect of a Dispute shall be tolled upon the delivery of a Notice of Dispute pursuant to Section 2 hereto until such time as the Arbitration Procedure has concluded.

19. NO WITHHOLDING OF UNDISPUTED PAYMENTS

Except as otherwise specifically permitted by the Agreement, no undisputed payment due or payable by a Party shall be withheld on account of a pending negotiation or arbitration pursuant to the Arbitration Procedure.

ARTICLE 2 REGISTRATION

RIGHTS

2.1 Filing and Maintenance of Base Prospectus

(a) During the Registration Period, the Corporation shall maintain a short form base shelf prospectus (the “Canadian Base Prospectus”) filed with the Canadian Securities Regulatory Authorities and a registration statement on form F-10 (the “Registration Statement” and collectively with the Canadian Base Prospectus, the “Base Prospectus”), containing a base shelf prospectus filed with the SEC qualifying the Registrable Securities for distribution under Applicable Securities Laws. The Corporation shall cause the Base Prospectus to contain a plan of distribution consistent with the terms of this Agreement and approved in advance by the Holders acting reasonably.

(b) In the event that the Base Prospectus is not effective at any time during the Registration Period, the rights and obligations contained herein shall apply to a Non-Base Prospectus and all references in this Agreement to Prospectus Supplement shall apply mutatis mutandis to a Non- Base Prospectus.

2.2 Required Registration

(a) Subject to the provisions hereof, at any time and from time to time during the Registration Period, one or more Holders (each such Holder, a “Demand Holder”) may request the Corporation to file a Prospectus Supplement offering all or part of the Registrable Securities (such offering being hereinafter referred to as a “Demand Registration”). Such a request shall be in writing and shall specify the Proposed Prospectus Filing Date, number of Registrable Securities to be sold (the “Demand Registrable Securities”), the intended method of disposition and the jurisdictions in which the Demand Holders, acting reasonably, request that the Demand Registration be effected and contain the undertaking of the Demand Holders making the request to provide all such information regarding such Demand Holders as may be required in order to permit the Corporation to comply with all Applicable Securities Laws with respect to such Demand Registration. The Holders may not make more than three requests for Demand Registrations in any Registration Year. A request for a Demand Registration by any Demand Holder shall be delivered not more than 21 days and not less than 10 days (or, no more than once per Registration Year, if the Holders may not sell Registrable Securities in the United States pursuant

to Rule 144 under the U.S. Securities Act without being subject to the limitations imposed by volume and manner of sale restrictions contained therein on the date of such request, not less than 5 days), prior to the Proposed Prospectus Filing Date for such Demand Registration. The Holders shall not request a Demand Registration to be conducted in a manner that would require the filing of a prospectus, registration statement or other disclosure document in a jurisdiction outside Canada or the United States or subject the Corporation to continuous disclosure obligations under applicable securities laws in any such other jurisdiction. No offering of Registrable Securities under this subsection 2.2(a) shall relieve the Corporation of its obligations to effect Piggy Back Registrations pursuant to subsection 2.2(e).

(b) Subject to Section 2.2(c), each Demand Registration shall be for such number of Demand Registrable Securities as requested by the Demand Holders.

(c) The Corporation shall have the right, by providing notice to the Demand Holder not less than five days prior to the Proposed Prospectus Filing Date (or, no more than once per Registration Year, if (x) the Demand Holder expects such offering to be conducted as a block trade or bought deal and such expectation is indicated in the applicable Demand Registration request and (y) the Demand Holder may not sell the Common Shares that it intends to sell under the applicable Demand Registration request in the United States pursuant to Rule 144 under the U.S. Securities Act without being subject to the limitations imposed by volume and manner of sale restrictions contained therein on the date of such request, then the Corporation shall have three days after receiving such Demand Registration request to provide notice to the Demand Holder), to offer and sell Common Shares as part of any Demand Registration initiated by the Demand Holders under this Agreement. If the managing underwriter or underwriters advise(s) the Corporation that, in such firm’s good faith view, the number of Demand Registrable Securities and other securities requested to be included in such Demand Registration exceeds the number that can be sold in such offering without being likely to have an adverse effect upon the price, timing or distribution of the offering and sale of the Demand Registrable Securities, then the Corporation shall include in such Demand Registration:

(i) first, the Demand Registrable Securities to be included in such Demand Registration;

(ii) second, the other Common Shares sought to be included by the Corporation or any other stockholder that can be sold without having the adverse effect referred to above, pro rata on the basis of the relative number of such other Common Shares owned by the Corporation and such other Persons.

(d) The Corporation shall be entitled to postpone the filing of a Prospectus Supplement otherwise required to be prepared and filed by it pursuant to this Section 2.2 (but not the preparation of such Prospectus Supplement) or may request Holders suspend the use of any Prospectus Supplement that has been filed by it pursuant to this Section 2.2 if a Blackout Period is in effect or occurs after a Demand Registration request has been received but before the Demand Registration has been effected. The Corporation will give written notice of its determination to decline to effect (or to suspend) a Demand Registration pursuant to this subsection 2.2(d), including a general description of the basis for such declination (or suspension), promptly after the occurrence thereof. If the Corporation exercises its rights under this subsection 2.2(d), it shall, as promptly as practicable following the expiration of the applicable deferral or suspension period, file or update and use its reasonable best efforts to cause the effectiveness of the deferred or suspended Prospectus Supplement. If the Corporation declines to effect a Demand Registration subject to this subsection 2.2(d) and if the Holder within 30 days after receipt of notice from the Corporation advises the Corporation in writing that it has determined to withdraw such request for a Demand Registration, and such request for a Demand Registration will be deemed to be withdrawn and such request will be deemed to have not been given for purposes of determining whether the Demand Holders have exercised their rights to a Demand Registration permitted to such Holders pursuant to this Section 2.2.

(e) A Demand Holder may, at any time prior to the date on which the Corporation enters into a binding underwriting agreement in connection with a Demand Registration, revoke such Demand Holder’s Demand Registration in whole or in part. The Demand Holders may revoke a Demand Registration in whole once per Registration Year without being responsible for any Registration Expenses incurred in respect of such Demand Registration. The Demand Holders shall be responsible for all Registration Expenses incurred in connection with each other revocation in whole of a Demand Registration during a Registration Year. Each revoked Demand Registration shall constitute a Demand Registration for purposes of the limitation on the number of Demand Registrations in any Registration Year contained in subsection 2.3(a), in each case unless (i) the Corporation has previously notified the Demand Holder that it intends to register securities in connection with such Demand Registration and in fact completes such registration notwithstanding the revocation by the Demand Holder or (ii) the Corporation and such Demand Holders mutually agree not to proceed with such Demand Registration. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, a request for a Demand Registration shall not be deemed to be effective if, at any time after it has become effective, such Demand Registration is interfered with by any stop order, injunction or other order or requirement of the SEC or other Governmental Authority for any reason other than a misrepresentation by a Holder relating to such Demand Registration.

(f) If during the Registration Period the Corporation proposes to file a Prospectus Supplement in Canada and/or with the SEC in order to permit the issuance of its Common Shares pursuant to a public offering for its own account, in a form and manner that, with appropriate changes, would permit the offering of Registrable Securities under such Prospectus Supplement, the Corporation shall give reasonably prompt notice of its intention to do so to the Holders and shall use reasonable efforts to include in the proposed distribution such number of Designated Registrable Securities (the “Piggy Back Registrable Securities”) as the Holders shall request (such offering hereinafter referred to as a “Piggy Back Registration”) within five days after the giving of such notice (provided that if the Corporation expects such offering to be conducted as a block trade or bought deal and such expectation is indicated in the applicable notice, then the Holders shall have one day after the giving of notice by the Corporation to provide such request), upon the same terms (including the method of distribution) as such distribution. If the managing underwriter or underwriters advise(s) the Corporation that, in such firm’s good faith view, the number of Piggy Back Registrable Securities and other securities requested to be included in such Piggy Back Registration exceeds the number that can be sold in such offering without being likely to have an adverse effect upon the price, timing or distribution of the offering and sale of the Piggy Back Registrable Securities and other securities, then the Corporation shall include in such Piggy Back Registration:

(i) first, the Common Shares to be included by the Corporation in such Piggy Back Registration;

(ii) second, the Piggy Back Registrable Securities sought to be included that can be sold without having the adverse effect referred to above; and

(iii) third, any other securities sought to be included by any other stockholder that can be sold without having the adverse effect referred to above, pro rata on the basis of the relative number of such other securities owned by such other Persons.

The Corporation may at any time, at its sole discretion and without the consent of the Holders, withdraw such Prospectus Supplement and abandon the proposed distribution in which the Holders requested to participate. The failure of the Holders to respond within the periods referred to in the immediately preceding sentence shall be deemed to be a waiver of the Holders’ rights under this subsection 2.2(e) with respect to such Piggy Back Registration. The Holders may also waive their rights under this subsection 2.2(e) by giving written notice to the Corporation. No offering of Registrable Securities under this subsection 2.2(e) shall relieve the Corporation of its obligations to effect Demand Registrations pursuant to subsection 2.2(a).

2.3 Selection of Underwriters for Underwritten Demand Registrations

Upon requesting a Demand Registration for an underwritten offering of Registrable Securities, the Demand Holders shall select the investment banker(s) and manager(s) to effect the distribution in connection with such underwritten Demand Registration, it being acknowledged by the Holders that the participation of a registrant shall be required in Canada and a registered broker-dealer in the United States in connection with each underwritten Secondary Registration hereunder and it being further acknowledged that the investment banker(s) and/or manager(s) selected by the Demand Holders must be of nationally recognized standing in the United States and/or Canada (as applicable). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Holders acknowledge that the Corporation shall have the sole right to select the investment banker(s) and manager(s) to effect the distribution in connection with any Piggy Back Registration and shall have no obligation to consult with the Holders with respect to such selection.

2.4 Registration Expenses and Selling Expenses.

(a) Subject to subsection 2.2(e), the Corporation shall be responsible for all Registration Expenses.

(b) Each of the Corporation and the Holders shall be responsible for the Selling Expenses on any Demand Registration or Piggy Back Registration in proportion to their respective amounts of Common Shares sold in any such offering.

4.2 Indemnification

(a) The Corporation agrees to indemnify, to the extent permitted by law, the Holders and each Person who participates as an underwriter in the offering or sale of the Designated Registrable Securities, and each of their respective directors, officers, employees and agents and each Person who controls any such underwriter or Holder (within the meaning of any Applicable Securities Laws) against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses arising out of or based upon: (i) any information or statement contained in the Registration Statement (other than any information which has been furnished to the Corporation by the Holders in writing expressly for use therein pursuant to subsection 3.2(a) or Section 4.1) which at the time contains a misrepresentation or is alleged to contain a misrepresentation; (ii) any information or statement contained in the Prospectus, any filing made in connection with the Secondary Registration under the securities or other “blue sky” laws or any amendment thereto (other than any information which has been furnished to the Corporation by the Holders in writing expressly for use therein pursuant to subsection 3.2(a) or Section 4.1) which at the time and in light of the circumstances in which it was made contains a misrepresentation or is alleged to contain a misrepresentation; (iii) any order made or inquiry, investigation or proceedings commenced or threatened by any applicable securities regulatory authority, court or other competent authority based upon any misrepresentation or alleged misrepresentation in the Prospectus or any amendment thereto (other than any such misrepresentation contained in any information which has been furnished to the Corporation by the Holders in writing expressly for use therein pursuant to subsection 3.2(a) or Section 4.1) or based upon any failure or alleged failure to comply with Applicable Securities Laws (other than any failure to comply with Applicable Securities Laws by any Holder or the underwriters, as applicable, which is not as a result of a failure or an alleged failure of the Corporation to comply with Applicable Securities Laws); and (iv) noncompliance by the Corporation with any Applicable Securities Laws in connection with a Secondary Registration and the distribution effected thereunder, except in the case of any of the foregoing insofar as such

noncompliance was caused by the Holders’ or any underwriter’s failure to deliver to a purchaser of Designated Registrable Securities, a copy of the Prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto or to otherwise comply with Applicable Securities Laws in a manner which is not a result of a failure or an alleged failure of the Corporation to comply with Applicable Securities Laws.

(b) The Holders agree to indemnify, to the extent permitted by law, the Corporation and each Person who participates as an underwriter in the offering or sale of the Designated Registrable Securities, and each of their respective directors, officers, employees and agents and each Person who controls such underwriters (within the meaning of any Applicable Securities Laws) against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses arising out of or based upon: (i) any information or statement contained in the Registration Statement which has been furnished to the Corporation by the Holders in writing expressly for use therein pursuant to subsection 3.2(a) or Section 4.1 which at the time contains a misrepresentation or is alleged to contain a misrepresentation; (ii) any information or statement contained in the Prospectus, any filing made in connection with the Registration under the securities or other “blue sky” laws or any amendment thereto which has been furnished to the Corporation by the Holders in writing expressly for use therein pursuant to subsection 3.2(a) or Section 4.1 which at the time and in light of the circumstances under which it was made contains a misrepresentation or alleged misrepresentation; (iii) any order made or inquiry, investigation or proceedings commenced or threatened by any applicable securities regulatory authority, court or other competent authority based upon (A) any misrepresentation or alleged misrepresentation in the Prospectus or any amendment thereto based upon any information or statement which has been furnished to the Corporation by the Holders in writing expressly for use therein pursuant to subsection 3.2(a) or Section 4.1, or (B) any failure or an alleged failure to comply with Applicable Securities Laws by the Holders which is not as a result of a failure or alleged failure of the Corporation to comply with Applicable Securities Laws; (iv) noncompliance by a Holder with any Applicable Securities Laws in connection with a distribution of Registrable Securities; and (v) the Holders’ failure to deliver to a purchaser of Designated Registrable Securities, a copy of the Prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto or to otherwise comply with Applicable Securities Laws in a manner which is not a result of a failure or an alleged failure of the Corporation to comply with Applicable Securities Laws, except in the case of any of the foregoing insofar as such noncompliance was caused by the Corporation or any underwriter’s failure to deliver to a purchaser of Designated Registrable Securities a copy of the Prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto or to otherwise comply with Applicable Securities Laws.

(c) Any Person entitled to indemnification hereunder will (i) give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification (provided that any failure to give notice pursuant to this subsection 4.2(c) shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations under this Section 4.2 unless such failure to give notice results in material prejudice against such indemnifying party) and (ii) unless in such indemnified party’s reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying parties may exist with respect to such claim, permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel satisfactory to the indemnified party, acting reasonably. If such defense is assumed, the indemnifying party will not be subject to any liability for any settlement made by the indemnified party without its consent (but such consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). An indemnified party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such suit and participate in the defence thereof but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of the indemnified party unless: (i) the indemnifying party fails to assume the defence of such suit on behalf of the indemnified party within a reasonable period of time; (ii) the employment of such counsel has been authorized in writing by the indemnifying party; (iii) the named parties include both the indemnifying party and the indemnified Party and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them; or (iv) the named parties to any such suit or proceeding include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party has reasonably concluded that there may be one or more legal defences available to the indemnified party which are

different from or in addition to those available to the indemnifying party, in which case, if such indemnified party notifies the indemnifying party in writing that it elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party, the indemnifying party shall not have the right to assume the defence of such suit or proceeding on behalf of the indemnified party and shall be liable to pay the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for the indemnified party, it being understood, however, that the indemnifying party shall not, in connection with any one such action or separate but substantially similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one separate law firm (in addition to any local counsel) for all such indemnified parties. No indemnifying party may settle any claims without the express written consent of an indemnified party (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed where such consent does not contain any admission of liability, includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from any liabilities arising out of such claim and has as its only obligation on the indemnified party the payment of funds for which the indemnifying party has unconditionally agreed to provide indemnity under this Section 4.2).

(d) The indemnification provided for under this Agreement will survive the expiry of this Agreement and will remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the indemnified party or any officer, director or controlling Person of such indemnified party and will survive any transfer of securities pursuant thereto. In the event the indemnification is unavailable in whole or in part for any reason under this Section 4.2, the Corporation and the Holders shall contribute to the aggregate of all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Corporation and the Holders in connection with the event giving rise to liability. No Person that has been determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final judgment to have engaged in fraud, willful misconduct, fraudulent misrepresentation or negligence shall be entitled to claim indemnification or contribution pursuant to subsection 4.2(b) or this subsection 4.2(d), as applicable, from any person who has not also been so determined to have engaged in such fraud, willful misconduct, fraudulent misrepresentation or negligence.

(e) The Corporation hereby acknowledges and agrees that, with respect to this Section 4.2, each Holder is contracting on its own behalf and as agent for the other indemnified persons referred to in subsection 4.2(a). In this regard, each Holder will act as trustee for such indemnified persons of the covenants of the Corporation under this Section 4.2 with respect to such indemnified persons and accepts these trusts and will hold and enforce those covenants on behalf of such indemnified persons.

(f) The Holders hereby acknowledge and agree that, with respect to this Section 4.2, the Corporation is contracting on its own behalf and as agent for the other indemnified persons referred to in subsection 4.2(b). In this regard, the Corporation will act as trustee for such indemnified persons of the covenants of the Holders under this Section 4.2 with respect to such indemnified persons and accepts these trusts and will hold and enforce those covenants on behalf of such indemnified persons.

Each of the Parties hereto will promptly do, make, execute or deliver, or cause to be done, made, executed or delivered, all such further acts, documents and things as the other party hereto may reasonably require from time to time for the purpose of giving effect to this Agreement and will use reasonable efforts and take all such steps as may be reasonably within its power to implement to their full extent the provisions of this Agreement.

7.2 Severability

If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule or law, or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement will nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party. Upon any determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the Parties to this Agreement will negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner to the end that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are fulfilled to the fullest extent possible.

7.3 Assignment

This Agreement and the rights and obligations of the Parties hereto shall bind and enure to the benefit of each of the Parties hereto, the other Parties indemnified under Section 4.2 and their respective successors.

Neither Party shall have the right to transfer or assign any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement except that this Agreement shall be assigned in whole or in part by ConocoPhillips Shareholder (upon notice to the Corporation) to any Affiliate of ConocoPhillips Shareholder to whom any Registrable Securities are transferred as permitted under Sections 3.2(c)(iv) or 3.3 of the Investor Agreement. Upon the permitted transferee(s) or assignee(s) executing an instrument in writing agreeing to be bound by this Agreement, the transferee(s) or assignee(s) will be entitled to its benefit and be bound by all of its terms as if it were an original signatory hereto and shall be considered a Holder for the purposes of this

Agreement, provided that if any Person who was a permitted transferee ceases to be an Affiliate of ConocoPhillips Shareholder, such Person shall cease to have any rights or obligations under this Agreement. ConocoPhillips agrees to cause any ConocoPhillips Entity acquiring Registrable Securities subject to this Agreement to become a party hereto and to perform its obligations hereunder, and hereby guarantees the performance of all of the obligations of any such transferee under this Agreement.

This Agreement may not be assigned by the Corporation without the prior written consent of each Holder, provided that in the event the Common Shares are converted, reclassified, exchanged or otherwise changed pursuant to a reorganization, amalgamation, merger, arrangement or other form of reorganization, this Agreement may be assigned by the Corporation to its successor pursuant to any such transaction without the prior written consent of the Holders.

7.4 Remedies and Breaches

(a) Each of the Holders, on the one hand (and for the purposes of this Section 7.4 collectively considered to be a “Party”), and the Corporation, on the other hand, acknowledges and agrees that irreparable injury to the other Party hereto may occur in the event any of the provisions of this Agreement are not performed in accordance with its specific terms or is otherwise breached and that such injury may not be adequately compensable in damages. It is accordingly agreed that each of the Holders, on the one hand, and the Corporation, on the other hand, shall, in addition to any other remedy to which they may be entitled at law or in equity, each be entitled to seek specific enforcement of, and injunctive relief to prevent any violation of, the terms hereof and the other Party hereto will not take any action, directly or indirectly, in opposition to the Party seeking relief on the grounds that any other remedy or relief is available at law or in equity.
