#### Introductory Note
On June 1, 2026 (the "Closing Date"), Northern Oil and Gas, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), completed its previously announced acquisition (the "Parallax Acquisition") of certain oil and gas properties, interests and related assets (the "Acquired Assets") from Parallax Energy Operating Inc., a corporation existing under the laws of the Province of Alberta ("Seller"), pursuant to that certain asset purchase and sale agreement, dated May 22, 2026 (the "PSA"), among Seller, NOG Energy Canada, Ltd., a corporation existing under the laws of the Province of Alberta and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company ("Purchaser"), and, for certain limited purposes, the Company. In accordance with the PSA, Purchaser paid closing consideration to Seller in respect of the Acquired Assets consisting of CA$237.0 million in cash (which includes a CA$37.5 million cash deposit previously paid by Purchaser upon the execution of the PSA and held in escrow in accordance with the terms of the PSA) and 3,689,413 shares of the Company's common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the "Stock Consideration"). The cash portion of the consideration remains subject to final post-closing settlement between Purchaser and Seller. The cash portion of the closing payment was funded with cash on hand, operating free cash flow and borrowings under the Company's revolving credit facility.

**ARTICLE II** 

**REGISTRATION RIGHTS** 

Section 2.01 <u>Shelf Registration</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) The Company shall prepare and file with the Commission as soon as reasonably practicable but no later than the later of (x) the first (1<sup>st</sup>) Business Day following the Closing Date and (y) three (3) Business Days after receipt of a completed Selling Holder Questionnaire (as defined below) from the initial Holder, and shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause to become or be declared effective as soon as reasonably practicable after the filing thereof (including by filing an automatic shelf registration statement that becomes effective upon filing with the Commission in accordance with Rule 462(e) under the Securities Act to the extent the Company is then a WKSI), a Registration Statement under the Securities Act relating to the offer and sale of all the Registrable Securities by the Holders thereof (the "<u>Shelf Registration Statement</u>") from time to time in accordance with the methods of distribution set forth in the Shelf Registration Statement and Rule 415 under the Securities Act. Promptly following the effective date of the Shelf Registration Statement (the "<u>Effective Date</u>"), the Company shall notify the Holders of the effectiveness thereof.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Notwithstanding anything in <u>Section</u> <u>2.01(a)</u>, if for any reason the Commission does not permit the Company to include any or all of the Registrable Securities in the initial Shelf Registration Statement due to limitations on the use of Rule 415 under the Securities Act for the resale of the Registrable Securities by the Holders, or the Commission informs the Company that any of the Selling Holders would be deemed to be statutory underwriters, the Company shall notify the Holders thereof and use reasonable best efforts to promptly file amendments to the initial Shelf Registration Statement as required by the Commission and/or withdraw the initial Shelf Registration Statement and file a new registration statement on Form S-3 or such other form available for registration of the Registrable Securities as a secondary offering, in either case covering the maximum number of Registrable Securities permitted to be registered by the Commission and avoid the Selling Holders being deemed to be statutory underwriters; *provided*, *however*, that prior to such amendment or subsequent Shelf Registration Statement, the Company shall be obligated to use reasonable best efforts to advocate with the Commission for the registration of all of the Registrable Securities and against the Selling Holders' being deemed statutory underwriters in accordance with Commission guidance, including without limitation, the Compliance and Disclosure Interpretation "Securities Act Rules" No. 612.09, and the Securities Act. In the event the Company amends the initial Shelf Registration Statement by means of a post-effective amendment or files a subsequent Shelf Registration Statement, as the case may be, the Company will use reasonable best efforts to file with the Commission, as promptly as allowed by the Commission, Commission guidance or the Securities Act, one or more additional Shelf Registration Statements covering those Registrable Securities not included in the initial Shelf Registration Statement as amended or any subsequent Shelf Registration Statement previously filed. The number of Registrable Securities that may be included in each such Shelf Registration Statement shall be allocated among the Holders thereof in proportion (as nearly as practicable) to the number of Registrable Securities owned by each Holder or in such other proportion as is necessary to avoid the Selling Holders being deemed to be statutory underwriters. If the Commission requires the Company to name any Holder as a statutory underwriter and such Holder does not consent thereto, then such Holder's Registrable Securities shall not be included on the Shelf Registration Statement and the Company shall have no further obligations under this <u>Section</u> <u>2.01</u> with respect to the Registrable Securities held by such Holder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) The Shelf Registration Statement shall be on Form S-3 (or any equivalent or successor form) under the Securities Act and, if the Company is a WKSI, shall be an automatically effective Registration Statement on Form S-3ASR or, if an existing registration statement on Form S-3ASR is effective, the Company may file a prospectus supplement to such

------

existing registration statement registering the resale of the Registrable Securities (except if the Company is not then eligible to register for resale the Registrable Securities on Form S-3, in which case such registration shall be on Form S-1 or such other form of registration statements as is then available to effect a registration for resale of the Registrable Securities); *provided*, *however*, that if the Company has filed the Shelf Registration Statement on Form S-1 and subsequently becomes eligible to use Form S-3 or any equivalent or successor form or forms, the Company shall (i) file a post-effective amendment to the Shelf Registration Statement converting such Registration Statement on Form S-1 to a Registration Statement on Form S-3 or any equivalent or successor form or forms or (ii) withdraw the Shelf Registration Statement on Form S-1 and file a subsequent Shelf Registration Statement on Form S-3 or any equivalent or successor form or forms.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) Unless otherwise specifically stated herein, the term "Shelf Registration Statement" shall refer individually to the initial Shelf Registration Statement and to each subsequent Shelf Registration Statement, if any, filed pursuant to <u>Section</u> <u>2.01(b)</u> or <u>Section</u> <u>2.01(c)</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) Subject to <u>Section</u> <u>2.02,</u> the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to cause the Shelf Registration Statement to remain effective, and to be supplemented and amended to the extent necessary to ensure that the Shelf Registration Statement is available for the resale of all the Registrable Securities by the Holders until all of the Registrable Securities have ceased to be Registrable Securities.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) When effective, the Shelf Registration Statement (including the documents incorporated therein by reference) will comply as to form in all material respects with all applicable requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading (in the case of any prospectus contained in the Shelf Registration Statement, in the light of the circumstances under which such statements are made); *provided*, *however*, the Company shall have no such obligations or liabilities with respect to any information pertaining to any Holder furnished in writing (including by e-mail) to the Company by or on behalf of such Holder specifically for inclusion therein.

Section 2.02 <u>Delay and Suspension Rights</u>.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Company may (a) delay filing or effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement (or any amendment thereto) or (b) suspend the Holders' use of any prospectus that is a part of a Shelf Registration Statement upon written notice to each Holder whose Registrable Securities are included in such Shelf Registration Statement (*provided* that in no event shall such notice contain any material non-public information regarding the Company) (in which event such Holder shall immediately discontinue sales of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement but may settle any then-contracted sales of Registrable Securities), in each case for a period of up to 60 days, if the Company reasonably determines (i) that such delay or suspension is in the best interest of the Company and its stakeholders generally due to a pending securities offering by the Company, or any proposed material acquisition, merger, tender offer, business combination, corporate reorganization, consolidation or other material transaction involving the Company, in each case that would be materially and adversely affected by required disclosure of such transaction in such prospectus,

------

(ii) that such registration or the use of any prospectus that is a part of a Shelf Registration Statement would render the Company unable to comply with applicable securities laws (including because of requirements to produce financial statements with regard to acquired businesses) or (iii) that such registration would require disclosure of material information and such disclosure would materially adversely affect the Company (any such period, a "<u>Suspension Period</u>"); *provided* that such Suspension Period is also applied to all Existing Registration Rights Holders, *provided further* that in no event shall any Suspension Periods applicable to the Holders collectively exceed an aggregate of 90 days in any twelve-month period.

Section 2.03 <u>Registration and Sale Procedures</u>.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(k) if requested by a Selling Holder, (i) incorporate in a prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment such information as such Selling Holder reasonably requests in writing to be included therein relating to the sale and distribution of Registrable Securities, including information with respect to the number of Registrable Securities being offered or sold, the purchase price being paid therefor and any other terms of the offering of the Registrable Securities to be sold in such offering, and (ii) make all required filings of such prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment after being notified of the matters to be incorporated in such prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(l) if a Holder wishes to engage in a non-marketed offering not involving a "roadshow," an offer commonly known as a "block trade" (a "<u>Block Trade</u>"), with respect to the Registrable Securities (i) effected pursuant to the Registration Statement, (ii) with reasonably anticipated gross proceeds in excess of $25 million or involving Registrable Securities having a fair market value in excess of $25 million and (iii) involving a broker, agent, counterparty, underwriter, bank or other financial institution ("<u>Financial Counterparty</u>"), to the extent reasonably requested by the Financial Counterparty in order to engage in the proposed Block Trade, the Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Holders to allow the Financial Counterparty to conduct due diligence reasonable and customary in connection with such Block Trade, including a customary due diligence call with members of management of the Company and the Financial Counterparty; *provided* that the Company shall have no obligation to facilitate or participate in more than two Block Trades pursuant to this <u>Section</u> <u>2.03(l)</u>; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(m) the U.S. restrictive legend on any Registrable Securities covered by this Agreement shall be removed if (a) such Registrable Securities are sold pursuant to an effective Registration Statement, (b) the Registrable Securities may be resold pursuant to Rule 144 subject only to compliance with paragraph (c) of Rule 144 (i.e., such Holder is not an affiliate of the Company, and has not been an affiliate of the Company for the previous three months, and has satisfied the six-month holding period under Rule 144) and the applicable Holder delivers to the Company a representation and/or "will comply" letter, as applicable, certifying that, among other things, such Holder will only transfer such Shares pursuant to Rule 144 if it is then-available and, upon notice from the Company of any lapse of availability of Rule 144, will not make sales of such Shares pursuant to Rule 144 until Rule 144 becomes available, (c) such Registrable Securities may be sold by the applicable Holder free of U.S. restrictions without regard to Rule 144(b) under the Securities Act (i.e., such Holder is not an affiliate of the Company, and has not been an affiliate of the Company for the previous three months, and has satisfied the one-year holding period under Rule 144) or (d) such Registrable Securities are being sold, assigned or otherwise transferred pursuant to Rule 144; provided, that with respect to <u>clause</u> <u>(b)</u>, <u>(c)</u> or <u>(d)</u> above, the applicable Holder has provided all documentation and evidence (which may include representation letters and an opinion of counsel) as may reasonably be required by the Company or its transfer agent to confirm that the legend may be removed under applicable securities laws (the "<u>Legend Removal Documents</u>"). The Company shall cooperate with the applicable Holder covered by this Agreement to effect the removal of the U.S. legends on such Registrable Securities pursuant to this <u>Section</u> <u>2.03(m)</u> as soon as reasonably practicable after the receipt of all requested Legend Removal Documents in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Company and its transfer agent, as applicable. Any fees of the Company, the transfer agent and Company counsel associated with the issuance of any legal opinion required by the Company's transfer agent or the removal of such legend pursuant to this <u>Section</u> <u>2.03(m)</u> shall be borne by the Company; provided, that the applicable Holder shall be responsible for all fees and expenses (including of counsel for such Holder) incurred by such Holder with respect to delivering the Legend Removal Documents pursuant to this <u>Section</u> <u>2.03(m)</u>.

------

Each Selling Holder, upon receipt of notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in <u>subsection</u> <u>(e)</u> of this <u>Section</u> <u>2.03</u>, shall forthwith discontinue offers and sales of the Registrable Securities by means of a prospectus or prospectus supplement until such Selling Holder's receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by <u>subsection</u> <u>(e)</u> of this <u>Section</u> <u>2.03</u> or until it is advised in writing by the Company that the use of the prospectus may be resumed and has received copies of any additional or supplemental filings incorporated by reference in the prospectus, and, if so directed by the Company, such Selling Holder will deliver to the Company (at the Company's expense) all copies in their possession or control, other than permanent file copies then in such Selling Holder's possession, of the prospectus covering such Registrable Securities current at the time of receipt of such notice.

Section 2.04 <u>Cooperation by each Holder</u>.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Company shall have no obligation to include the Registrable Securities of a Holder in a Registration Statement who has failed to furnish, within three (3) Business Days of a request by the Company, such information that the Company determines, after consultation with its counsel, is reasonably required in order for the Registration Statement or prospectus supplement, as applicable, to comply with the Securities Act. The Company may require each Holder to furnish to the Company a written statement as to the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by such Holder. Without limiting the foregoing, with respect to the Shelf Registration Statement, each Holder agrees to furnish to the Company a completed questionnaire in the form attached to this Agreement as <u>Annex</u> <u>A</u> (a "<u>Selling Holder Questionnaire</u>"), no later than three (3) Business Days following the date on which such Holder receives draft materials in accordance with <u>Section</u> <u>2.03(b)</u>.

Section 2.05 <u>Expenses</u>.

The Company will pay all reasonable Registration Expenses as determined in good faith. Each Selling Holder shall bear or pay its pro rata share of all Selling Expenses in connection with any sale of its Registrable Securities hereunder.

Section 2.06 <u>Indemnification and Contribution</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) <u>Indemnification by the Company</u>. The Company will indemnify and hold harmless each Selling Holder, its directors, officers, managers, employees, members, agents and Affiliates and each other Person, if any, who controls such Selling Holder within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act from and against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several (collectively, "<u>Losses</u>") to which such Selling Holder or any such director, officer or controlling person may become subject, under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such Losses (or actions or proceedings, whether commenced or threatened, in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue

------

statement of any material fact contained in any Registration Statement or any preliminary prospectus, free writing prospectus or final prospectus contained therein or related thereto, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading (in the case of any prospectus, in the light of the circumstances under which such statements were made), or (ii) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any state securities law, or any rule or regulations promulgated under the Securities Act, or the Exchange Act or any state securities law applicable to the Company and relating to action or inaction required of the Company in connection with any such registration, qualification or compliance required under this Agreement, and the Company will reimburse such Selling Holder and each such director, officer, manager, employee, member, agent, Affiliate and controlling person for reasonably and documented legal or any other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such Losses, actions or proceedings (collectively, "<u>Expenses</u>"); *provided* that the Company shall not be liable in any such case to the extent that (i) any such Losses or Expenses arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in such Registration Statement, preliminary prospectus, free writing prospectus, final prospectus, amendment or supplement in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to the Company in writing or electronically by or on behalf of such Selling Holder expressly for use in the preparation thereof, (ii) the Selling Holder continued to use a Registration Statement or any prospectus contained therein or prospectus supplement related thereto, after the Company notified such Selling Holder to cease such use pursuant to <u>Section</u> <u>2.03(e)</u> or (iii) the Company provided a corrected, supplemented or amended Registration Statement or any prospectus contained therein or prospectus supplement related thereto, but the Selling Holder continued to use the then outdated or uncorrected Registration Statement, prospectus contained therein or prospectus supplement related thereto. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of such Selling Holder or any such director, officer or controlling person and shall survive the transfer of such securities by such Selling Holder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) <u>Indemnification by Selling Holders</u>. Each Selling Holder, severally and not jointly, will indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each director of the Company, its directors and officers and each other Person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act from and against any Losses to which the Company or any such director, officer or controlling person may become subject, under the Securities Act or otherwise, and will reimburse them for any Expenses reasonably incurred by any of them (in each case in the same manner and to the same extent as set forth in <u>Section</u> <u>2.06(a)</u>), insofar as such Losses (or actions or proceedings, whether commenced or threatened, in respect thereof) or Expenses arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in any Registration Statement or any preliminary prospectus, free writing prospectus or final prospectus contained therein or related thereto, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading (in the case of any prospectus, in the light of the circumstances under which such statements were made), if such statement or alleged statement or omission or alleged omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished to the Company in writing or electronically by or on behalf of such Selling Holder expressly for use in the preparation thereof

------

(it being understood that any Selling Holder Questionnaire furnished by such Selling Holder is furnished expressly for this purpose). Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Company or any such director, officer or controlling person and shall survive the transfer of such securities by such Selling Holder.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) <u>Notices of Claims; Indemnification Procedures</u>. In case any proceeding (including any governmental investigation) shall be instituted involving any Person in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to <u>Section</u> <u>2.06(a)</u> or <u>Section</u> <u>2.06(b)</u>, such Person (the "<u>Indemnified Party</u>") shall promptly notify the Person against whom such indemnity may be sought (the "<u>Indemnifying Party</u>") in writing (*provided* that the failure of the Indemnified Party to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this <u>Section</u> <u>2.06</u>, except to the extent the Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced by such failure to give notice), and the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate in such proceeding and, unless in the reasonable opinion of outside counsel to the Indemnified Party a conflict of interest between the Indemnified Party and Indemnifying Party may exist in respect of such claim, to assume the defense thereof jointly with any other Indemnifying Party similarly notified, to the extent that it chooses, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party, and after notice from the Indemnifying Party to such Indemnified Party that it so chooses, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to such Indemnified Party for any legal or other Expenses subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation; *provided*, *however*, that (i) if the Indemnifying Party fails to assume the defense or employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, (ii) if such Indemnified Party who is a defendant in any action or proceeding which is also brought against the Indemnifying Party reasonably shall have concluded that there may be one or more legal defenses available to such Indemnified Party that are not available to the Indemnifying Party or (iii) if representation of both parties by the same counsel is otherwise inappropriate under applicable standards of professional conduct then, in any such case, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to assume or continue its own defense as set forth above (but with no more than one firm of counsel for all Indemnified Parties (plus one firm of local counsel for all Indemnified Parties in each relevant jurisdiction)), and the Indemnifying Party shall be liable for any Expenses therefor. No Indemnifying Party shall, without the written consent of the Indemnified Party, effect the settlement or compromise of, or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to, any pending or threatened action or claim in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the Indemnified Party is an actual or potential party to such action or claim) unless such settlement, compromise or judgment (A) includes an unconditional release of the Indemnified Party from all liability arising out of such action or claim and (B) does not include a statement as to, or an admission of, fault, culpability or a failure to act, by or on behalf of any Indemnified Party.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(d) <u>Contribution</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) If the indemnification provided for in this <u>Section</u> <u>2.06</u> is unavailable to an Indemnified Party in respect of any Losses in respect of which indemnity is to be provided hereunder, then each Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party, shall to the fullest extent permitted by law contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such Losses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the

------

relative fault of such party in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such Losses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the Company (on the one hand) and any Selling Holder (on the other hand) shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by such party and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) The Company and each Holder agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this <u>Section</u> <u>2.06(d)</u> were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in <u>Section</u> <u>2.06(d)(</u><u>i</u><u>)</u>. The amount paid or payable by an Indemnified Party as a result of the Losses referred to in <u>Section</u> <u>2.06(d)(</u><u>i</u><u>)</u> shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any Expenses reasonably incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(e) <u>Limitation of each Holder's Liability</u>. Notwithstanding the provisions of this <u>Section</u> <u>2.06</u>, no Holder shall be liable for indemnification or contribution pursuant to this <u>Section</u> <u>2.06</u> for any amount in excess of the net proceeds received by such Holder from the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(f) <u>Indemnification Payments</u>. The indemnification and contribution required by this <u>Section</u> <u>2.06</u> shall be made by periodic payments of the amount of any such Losses or Expenses as and when bills are received or such Losses or Expenses are incurred.

Section 2.07 <u>Rule 144 Reporting</u>.

With a view to making available the benefits of certain rules and regulations of the Commission that may permit the sale of the Registrable Securities to the public without registration, to the extent it shall be required to do so under the Exchange Act, so long as a Holder owns any Registrable Securities, the Company agrees to use its reasonable best efforts to:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) make and keep public information regarding the Company available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act, at all times from and after the date hereof;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) file with the Commission in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act at all times from and after the date hereof; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) furnish, unless otherwise available via EDGAR, to such Holder forthwith upon request a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company, and such other reports and documents so filed as such Holder may reasonably request in availing itself of any rule or regulation of the Commission allowing such Holder to sell any such securities without registration.

------

Section 2.08 <u>Transfer or Assignment of Registration Rights</u>.

The rights to cause the Company to register Registrable Securities granted to the Holders by the Company and to cooperate to remove Canadian resale restrictions on any Shares or Contingent Consideration Shares under this <u>Article II</u> may be transferred or assigned by the Holders only to one or more Permitted Transferees; *provided*, *however*, that (a) the Company is given written notice of such transfer or assignment (*provided, however*, that such transfer or assignment shall not be effective until such notice is provided to the Company) stating the name and address of each such Permitted Transferee and identifying the Registrable Securities or, if applicable, Shares or Contingent Consideration Shares, with respect to which such rights are being transferred or assigned and (b) each such Permitted Transferee assumes in writing responsibility for its portion of the obligations of the transferor under this Agreement.

Section 2.09 <u>Cooperation to Remove Canadian Resale Restrictions</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(a) The Canadian restrictive legend on any Shares or Contingent Consideration Shares shall be removed if (i) a Registration Statement covering the sale of such Shares or Contingent Consideration Shares, as applicable, has been filed and is effective under the Securities Act, or (ii) the conditions in sections 2.14(1)(a) and (b) or 2.15(2)(a) and (b) of NI 45-102 (and, in each case, any similar provision then in effect in Alberta (including, for certainty, ASC Rule 72-501) and any other applicable jurisdiction of Canada) are satisfied with respect to such Shares or Contingent Consideration Shares, as applicable; provided that the applicable Holder has delivered to the Company such Legend Removal Documents as may reasonably be required by the Company or its transfer agent to confirm that the legend may be removed under applicable securities laws, which documents may include an opinion of counsel and a representation letter certifying that such Holder will only sell such Shares or Contingent Consideration Shares, as applicable, if such sale is (x) though an exchange or market outside of Canada where neither the applicable Holder nor any person acting on behalf of the applicable Holder has reason to believe the trade has been pre-arranged with a buyer in Canada, or (y) to a purchaser that the applicable Holder has no knowledge, and no reason to believe, is a person or company in Canada. The Company shall cooperate with the applicable Holder covered by this Agreement to effect the removal of the Canadian legend on such Shares or Contingent Consideration Shares pursuant to this <u>Section</u> <u>2.09(a)</u> as soon as reasonably practicable after the receipt of all requested Legend Removal Documents in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Company and its transfer agent, as applicable. Any fees of the Company, the transfer agent and Company counsel associated with the issuance of any legal opinion required by the Company's transfer agent or the removal of such Canadian legend pursuant to this <u>Section</u> <u>2.09(a)</u> shall be borne by the Company; provided, that the applicable Holder shall be responsible for all fees and expenses (including of counsel for such Holder) incurred by such Holder with respect to delivering the Legend Removal Documents pursuant to this <u>Section</u> <u>2.09(a)</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) On the Closing Date and on the date the Contingent Consideration Shares are issued to Parallax, the Company: (a) is and shall be a "foreign issuer" as defined in NI 45-102 (or any similar provision then in effect in Alberta (including, for certainty, ASC Rule 72-501) and any other applicable jurisdiction of Canada); and (b) is not and shall not be a reporting issuer in any jurisdiction of Canada.

Section 3.02 <u>Successors and Assigns</u>.

This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and permitted assigns of each of the parties, including subsequent Holders of Registrable Securities or, if applicable, Shares or Contingent Consideration Shares, to the extent permitted herein; *provided*, *however*, that all or any portion of the rights and obligations of any Holder under this Agreement may be transferred or assigned by such Holder only in accordance with <u>Section</u> <u>2.08</u>. The Company may assign this Agreement at any time in connection with a sale or acquisition of the Company, whether by merger, consolidation, sale of all or substantially all of the Company's assets, or similar transaction, without the consent of the Holders; *provided*, that the successor or acquiring Person agrees in writing to assume all of the Company's rights and obligations under this Agreement.
