computing its income for the purposes of Part I of the Act; and







	 	(f)	 	that, subject to the requirements of subsection 66(12.73) of the Act, the Corporation
will not reduce the amount renounced to the Subscriber hereunder; and







	 	(g)	 	in the event the amount renounced to the Subscriber hereunder is reduced pursuant to
subsection 66(12.73) of the Act (except as a result of any amendment to the Act) or if the
Corporation fails to renounce Qualifying Expenditures to the Subscriber in an amount or
amounts which in aggregate are equal to the Commitment Amount and with an effective date or
dates of not later than December 31, 2007, the Corporation and OQSI shall jointly and
severally indemnify the Subscriber and pay in settlement thereof to the Subscriber an amount
equal to the amount of any tax payable under the Act (and under any corresponding provincial

the Act in a manner which impairs its ability to renounce Qualifying Expenditures to the
Subscriber in an amount equal to the Commitment Amount; and







	 	(k)	 	that the Corporation has not and will not enter into transactions, take deductions or
make any tax elections or designations which would otherwise reduce its cumulative Qualifying
Expenditures to an extent which would preclude a renunciation of Qualifying Expenditures
hereunder in an amount equal to the Commitment Amount effective on or before December 31,
2007; and







	 	(l)	 	that in the event that the Corporation cannot renounce to Subscribers Qualifying
Expenditures equal to 100% of the Commitment Amount, the Corporation shall renounce such
lesser amount as is permitted and, to the extent the Corporation has incurred expenses which
are capable of renunciation, but which are not Qualifying Expenditures, the Corporation shall,
if agreed to by the Subscriber, renounce such expenses to the Subscriber, without any
prejudice to any other rights the Subscriber may have under this Subscription Agreement.







	10.	 	The Subscriber covenants, agrees and represents and warrants to the Corporation that:







	 	(a)	 	neither the Subscriber, nor the beneficial purchaser, as the case may be, has or will
knowingly enter into any agreement or arrangement which will cause the Flow-Through Shares to
be or become “prescribed shares” for purposes of the Act; and







	 	(b)	 	it (and each beneficial purchaser for whom it is acting) deals at arm’s length with
the Corporation within the meaning of the Act and will continue to deal at arm’s length with
the Corporation to and including January 1, 2009.

Closing





	11.	 	The Subscriber agrees to deliver to TD Securities Inc., 77 King Street West, Toronto,
Ontario M5K 1A2 Attention: Mary Ziotas, not later than 4:00 p.m. (Calgary time) on April 27, 2007:
(a) this duly completed and executed Subscription Agreement; (b) a fully executed and completed
Representation Letter in the form of Exhibit 1; and (c) a certified cheque or bank draft payable to
TD Securities Inc. for the Aggregate Flow-Through Subscription Price or payment of the same amount
in such other manner as is acceptable to the Underwriters.







	12.	 	The sale of the Flow-Through Shares pursuant to this Subscription Agreement will be
completed at the offices of Macleod Dixon LLP, the Corporation’s counsel, in Calgary,
Alberta at 10:00 a.m. (Calgary time) or such other time as the Corporation, OQSI and the
Underwriters may agree (the “Closing Time”) on May 2, 2007 or such other date as the Corporation,
OQSI and the Underwriters may agree (the “Closing Date”). At the Closing Time, the Underwriters
shall deliver to the Corporation all completed subscription agreements, including this Subscription
Agreement, and the aggregate subscription amount against delivery by the Corporation of the
certificates representing the Flow-Through Shares.







	13.	 	The Corporation, OQSI and the Underwriters shall be entitled to rely on delivery of a
facsimile copy of executed subscriptions, and acceptance by the Corporation of such facsimile
subscriptions shall be legally effective to create a valid and binding agreement between the
Subscriber and the Corporation in accordance with the terms hereof. In addition, this Subscription
Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original and all
of which shall constitute one and the same document.






Underwriting Conflicts





	14.	 	TD Securities Inc. is a wholly-owned subsidiary of TD Bank, a lender to OQI and OQI
Sask pursuant to a secured credit agreement entered into on March 19, 2007 (the “Credit Facility”).
Accordingly, OQI may be considered to be a “connected issuer” of TD Securities Inc. for the
purposes of National Instrument 33-105 Underwriting Conflicts. OQI Sask is the borrower under the
Credit Facility and executed an Account Control Agreement that grants a security interest to TD
Bank in funds held in OQI Sask’s TD Bank account. OQI provided a secured guarantee for the
obligations of OQI Sask under the Credit Facility by way of: (i) an unconditional guarantee and
(ii) an assignment to TD Bank of OQI’s entitlement to receive proceeds from Flow-Through Shares
sold pursuant to the Offering after the date of the Credit Facility. The Credit Facility is a
non-revolving facility for up to Cdn. $30 million by way of Prime Rate Loans at the prime rate and
Bankers’ Acceptances at the applicable discount rate plus 50 basis points. Any drawn amount will
be repayable at maturity on October 31, 2007. On March 21, 2007, OQI Sask borrowed Cdn. $25
million under the Credit Facility to fund the purchase of land in the Athabasca region of North
Eastern Alberta. OQI and OQI Sask are in compliance with all material terms of the agreement
governing the Credit Facility and TD Bank has not waived any breach by OQI or OQI Sask of that
agreement since its execution. Neither the financial position of OQI or OQI Sask nor the value of
the security under the Credit Facility has changed substantially since the indebtedness under the
Credit Facility was incurred. TD Securities Inc. was involved in the decision to distribute the
Flow-Through Shares and in the determination of the commercial terms of the Offering. TD Bank did
not have any involvement in such decision or determination, but has been advised of the issuance
and the terms thereof. TD Securities Inc. will be entitled to receive its proportionate and
respective share of the commission described in Section 16 of this Subscription Agreement in
accordance with the terms and conditions of the Underwriting Agreement (as defined below). No
other proceeds of the Offering will be applied for the benefit of TD Securities Inc. OQI does not
intend to utilize the net proceeds of the Offering to repay the indebtedness under the Credit
Facility.

	15.	 	The Subscriber agrees that the representations, warranties and covenants of the
Subscriber herein will be true and correct both as of the execution of this Subscription Agreement

Shares. The representations, warranties and covenants of the Subscriber herein are made with the
intent that they be relied upon by the Corporation, OQSI and the Underwriters and their respective
counsel in determining the eligibility of a purchaser of Flow-Through Shares and the Subscriber (on
its own behalf and, if applicable, on behalf of each person on whose behalf the Subscriber is contracting) agrees to indemnify and hold
harmless the Corporation, OQSI and the Underwriters and their respective affiliates, shareholders,
directors, officers, partners, employees, legal counsel and agents, from and against all losses,
claims, costs, expenses and damages or liabilities whatsoever which any of them may suffer or incur
which are caused or arise from a breach thereof. The Subscriber undertakes to immediately notify
the Corporation at Oilsands Quest Inc., Suite 205, 707 — 7 Avenue S.W., Calgary, Alberta, Canada

	23.	 	This Subscription Agreement represents the entire agreement of the parties hereto
relating to the subject matter hereof and there are no representations, covenants or other
