disposed of (i) pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, (ii) to the Company, in the case of the Note, or to Parent, in the case of the Warrant, the Exchange Shares and the Warrant Shares, or
(iii) pursuant to an available exemption from or in a transaction not subject to the registration requirements of the Securities Act, and in all cases in compliance with any applicable state securities laws. 
  

 12 








 (b) Certificates evidencing the Securities will contain the following legend, so long as is required by
Section 4.1(c): 
 [THIS NOTE AND THE SECURITIES ISSUABLE HEREUNDER] [THIS WARRANT AND THE SECURITIES ISSUABLE HEREUNDER] [THE
SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS INSTRUMENT] HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD, HYPOTHECATED, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE
TRANSFERRED OR DISPOSED OF WITHOUT AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT RELATED THERETO AND QUALIFIED BY APPLICABLE STATE AUTHORITIES, OR AN OPINION OF LEGAL COUNSEL IS DELIVERED TO THE ISSUER STATING THAT AN EXEMPTION FROM SUCH REGISTRATION IS
AVAILABLE. 
 (c) The legend set forth above shall be removed and Parent shall issue or cause to be issued a certificate without such
legend to the holder of the Securities upon which it is stamped, unless additional actions are required by state securities laws, within ten (10) business days after satisfaction or waiver of the following conditions: (i) there shall be an
effective registration statement under the Securities Act covering the resale of the Securities, (ii) in connection with such sale, assignment or other transfer, such holder provides Parent with an opinion of counsel, in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to Parent, to the effect that such sale, assignment or transfer of Securities may be made without registration under the applicable requirements of the Securities Act or (iii) such holder provides Parent with assurances
reasonably satisfactory to Parent that the Securities can be sold, assigned or transferred pursuant to Rule 144. Neither Parent or the Company may make any notation on its records or give instructions to any transfer agent that enlarge the
restrictions on transfer set forth in this Section 4 except as it may reasonably determine are necessary or appropriate to comply or to ensure compliance with those applicable laws that are enacted or modified after the date hereof. 

4.2 Furnishing of Information; Information Rights. As long as Purchaser owns the Securities, Parent covenants to timely file (or obtain
extensions in respect thereof and file within the applicable grace period) all SEC Reports. In furtherance of the foregoing, Parent shall make available to Purchaser or file with the Commission via the EDGAR system: (a) as soon as practicable,
but in any event within ninety (90) days after the end of each fiscal year of Parent, (i) a balance sheet as of the end of such year; (ii) statements of income and of cash flows for such year; and (iii) a statement of
stockholders’ equity as of the end of such year, audited and certified by independent registered public accounting firm selected by Parent and (b) as soon as practicable, but in any event within forty-five (45) days after the end of
each of the first three (3) quarters of each fiscal year of Parent, unaudited statements of income and of cash flows for such fiscal quarter, and an unaudited balance sheet as of the end of such fiscal quarter, all prepared in accordance with
United States generally accepted accounting principles (except that the financial statements may (i) be subject to normal year-end audit adjustments and (ii) not contain all notes thereto that may be required in accordance with United
States generally accepted accounting principles). Parent covenants that (a) at all times it is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, it will comply with the current public information
requirements of Rule 144 under the Securities Act; and (b) at all such times as Rule 144 is 

  

 13 








 
available for use by the Purchaser, Parent will furnish the Purchaser upon reasonable request with all information required to permit the Investor to sell
securities of the Company to the public without registration or pursuant to Rule 144. 
 4.3 Standstill. 
 (a) Purchaser agrees that, for a period of two (2) years from the date of this Agreement, unless specifically invited in writing by Parent, neither
Purchaser nor any of its Affiliates will, directly or indirectly: (i) effect or seek to effect, or announce any intention to effect or in any way encourage any other Person to effect or seek to effect or participate in, (A) any acquisition
of any securities (or beneficial ownership thereof), or rights or options to acquire any securities (or beneficial ownership thereof), or any assets, indebtedness or businesses of Parent or any Subsidiary, (B) any tender or exchange offer,
merger or other business combination involving Parent, any Subsidiary or assets of Parent or the Subsidiaries constituting a significant portion of the consolidated assets of Parent and the Subsidiaries, (C) any recapitalization, restructuring,
liquidation, dissolution or other extraordinary transaction with respect to Parent or any Subsidiary, other than in connection with Purchaser exercising any of its rights under any of the Transaction Documents, or (D) any
“solicitation” of “proxies” (as such terms are used in the proxy rules of the Commission) or consent to vote any voting securities of Parent or any Subsidiary (other than in connection with a solicitation by Parent or its Board
of Directors); (ii) form, join or in any way participate in a “group” (as defined under the Exchange Act) with respect to Parent; (iii) otherwise act, alone or in concert with others, to seek to control or influence the
management or Board of Directors of Parent; (iv) take any action which would reasonably be expected to force Parent to make a public announcement regarding any of the types of matters set forth in (i) above; or (v) enter into any
discussions or arrangements with any third party with respect to any of the foregoing; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 4.3(a) will prohibit or otherwise restrict the Transactions, Purchaser’s satisfaction of
contractual obligations to Royal Dutch Shell PLC or its subsidiaries existing as of the date hereof and as described in Section 5.1(C) of the Farmout Agreement, any sale of Common Stock by Purchaser or the passive ownership by Purchaser of not
more than 19.9% of the outstanding Common Stock in the aggregate through one or more transactions. If at any time during such period, Purchaser or any of its Affiliates is approached by any third party concerning any transaction involving any
assets, indebtedness or business of, or securities issued by, Parent or any Subsidiary, Purchaser will promptly inform Parent of the nature of such transaction and the parties involved. 
 (b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 4.3, if at any time Parent consents to the taking of any action referred to
in clauses (i)(B) through (i)(D), (ii) or (iii) of Section 4.3(a) by one or more third parties, Parent shall be deemed to have provided identical consent to Purchaser and its Affiliates, and this Section 4.3 shall be of no force
or effect with respect to such consented-to actions during the pendency of such actions. 
 (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in this Section 4.3, if at any time a third party does any of the acts referred to in Section 4.3(a)(i)(B) or (C) and Section 4.3(b) does not apply, none of Purchaser and its Affiliates will be prohibited from taking
any actions set forth in Sections 4.3(a)(i)(B) or (C) during the pendency of such acts, provided that Purchaser shall provide Parent with written notice of any such action, including a reasonably detailed description thereof, at least 72
hours prior to taking such action. 
  

 14 








 4.4 Incurrence of Indebtedness. For so long as the Note is issued and outstanding, Parent and the
Subsidiaries will not, directly or indirectly, create, assume, guarantee or otherwise become liable for any indebtedness for borrowed money that ranks senior to or pari passu with the Note in right of payment from the Company. 
 4.5 Use of Proceeds. Until the Farm-In Deadline, the Company shall set aside US$2,000,000 of the net proceeds from the sale of the Securities
hereunder to be used exclusively to satisfy its existing exploration and development commitments in connection with the Qinnan PSC. 
 4.6
Parent’s Obligations Under the Note. Parent shall be bound by the terms of Sections 5 and 6 of the Note, and all capitalized terms used but not defined, as if it were an original signatory thereto. Parent shall at all times reserve and
keep available, out of its authorized and unissued stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the exchange of the Note, such number of shares of Common Stock free of preemptive rights as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the exchange
of the Note in accordance with its terms. Parent shall, in accordance with the laws of the State of Nevada, increase its authorized number of shares of Common Stock if at any time the number of shares available for issuance shall not be sufficient
to permit the exchange of the Note in accordance with its terms. 
 4.7 Regulation D Filings. Each of the Company and Parent will file
on a timely basis all notices of sale required to be filed with the Commission pursuant to Regulation D under the Securities Act with respect to the Transactions and simultaneously furnish copies of each report to the Purchaser. 
 4.8 Public Announcements. Promptly following the execution of this Agreement, each of the Parties shall issue a press release regarding the
Transactions in the form agreed upon by the Parties.

5.4 Amendments; Waivers. No provision of this Agreement may be waived or amended except in a written instrument signed by the Parties. No
waiver of any default with respect to any provision, condition or requirement of this Agreement shall be deemed to be a continuing waiver in the future or a waiver of any subsequent default or a waiver of any other provision, condition or
requirement hereof, nor shall any delay or omission of any Party to exercise any right hereunder in any manner impair the exercise of any such right.

Agreement will be deemed to be the language chosen by the Parties to express their mutual intent, and no rules of strict construction will be applied against either Party. This Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the Parties, and
no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring either Party by virtue of the authorship of any provisions of the Transaction Documents. 
 5.6 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns. No Party may assign this agreement or any of its
rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the other Parties; provided that Purchaser may assign this Agreement to any of its Affiliates in connection with a valid assignment of the Note. 
 5.7 No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is intended for the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns
and is not for the benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced by, any other Person. 
 5.8 GOVERNING
LAW. ALL QUESTIONS CONCERNING THE CONSTRUCTION, VALIDITY, ENFORCEMENT AND
INTERPRETATION OF THIS AGREEMENT, AND ALL DISPUTES AND CONTROVERSIES ARISING
HEREFROM AND THE TRANSACTIONS, SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED AND
ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW
YORK, WITHOUT REGARD TO THE PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAW THEREOF
THAT WOULD APPLY ANY OTHER LAW, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THAT THE
CORPORATE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEVADA APPLY PURSUANT TO THE
“INTERNAL AFFAIRS DOCTRINE” OR WITH RESPECT TO THE ISSUANCE OF SECURITIES.
EACH PARTY AGREES THAT ALL ACTIONS CONCERNING THE INTERPRETATION, ENFORCEMENT AND
DEFENSE OF THE TRANSACTIONS (WHETHER BROUGHT AGAINST A PARTY OR ITS
RESPECTIVE AFFILIATES, EMPLOYEES OR AGENTS) MAY BE COMMENCED IN THE STATE
AND FEDERAL COURTS SITTING IN THE CITY OF NEW YORK, NEW YORK
(THE “NEW YORK COURTS”). 

  

 17 








 
EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE
NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE NEW YORK COURTS FOR THE ADJUDICATION
OF ANY DISPUTE HEREUNDER OR IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR WITH ANY
TRANSACTION (INCLUDING WITH RESPECT TO THE ENFORCEMENT OF THE TRANSACTION
DOCUMENTS), AND HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, AND AGREES NOT TO ASSERT IN
ANY ACTION, ANY CLAIM THAT IT IS NOT PERSONALLY SUBJECT TO THE
JURISDICTION OF ANY SUCH NEW YORK COURT, OR THAT SUCH ACTION HAS
BEEN COMMENCED IN AN IMPROPER OR INCONVENIENT FORUM. EACH PARTY HEREBY
IRREVOCABLY WAIVES PERSONAL SERVICE OF PROCESS AND CONSENTS TO PROCESS BEING
SERVED IN ANY SUCH ACTION BY MAILING A COPY THEREOF VIA REGISTERED
OR CERTIFIED MAIL OR OVERNIGHT DELIVERY (WITH EVIDENCE OF DELIVERY) TO
SUCH PARTY AT THE ADDRESS IN EFFECT FOR NOTICES TO IT UNDER

 5.10 Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any law or public
policy, all other terms and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect for so long as the economic or legal substance of the Transactions is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any Party. Upon such
determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the Parties shall 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 in order that the Transactions are consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible. 
 5.11
Execution. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which when taken together shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each Party and delivered
to the other Parties, it being understood that all Parties need not sign the same counterpart. In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission or by electronic mail in Portable Document Format, such signature shall create a
valid and binding obligation of the Person executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such facsimile signature page were an original thereof. 
 5.12 Further Assurances. Each Party shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, cooperate and take such actions as may be reasonably necessary to
cause the Farm-In Conditions (as defined in the Farmout Agreement) to be satisfied on or before the Farm-In Deadline.
