defined in Regulation S under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as
amended. This will include (a) any natural person resident in the United
States; (b) any partnership or corporation organized or incorporated under the
laws of the United States; (c) any trust of which any trustee is a U.S. person;
(d) any partnership or corporation organized outside the United States by a

estates or trusts; (e) any estate of which any executor or administrator is a
U.S. person.

2. The Investor covenants, represents and
warrants to Austral Pacific Energy Ltd.
(the “Issuer”) that:

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
(a) it understands that the Shares have not been and will not be
  registered under the U.S. Securities Act and that the sale contemplated
  hereby is being made in reliance on the exemption from such registration
  requirement provided by Rule 506 of Regulation D;

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
(b) it acknowledges that it has not purchased the Shares as a result
  of any form of general solicitation or general advertising, including

  newspaper, magazine or similar media or broadcast over radio, or television,

  solicitation or general advertising;

(d) it understands and agrees that the financial statements of the

  generally accepted accounting principles, and thus may not be comparable to
  financial statements of United States companies;

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
(e) it understands and acknowledges that upon the issuance thereof,
  and until such time as the same is no longer required under the applicable
  requirements of the U.S. Securities Act or applicable state securities laws
  and regulations, the certificates representing the Shares will bear a legend
  in substantially the following form:

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
“The securities represented hereby have not been and will not be
  registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the
  “U.S. Securities Act”). The holder hereof, by purchasing such securities,
  agrees for the benefit of the Issuer that such securities may be offered,
  sold, pledged or otherwise transferred only (a) to the Issuer, (b) outside
  the United States in accordance with Rule 904 of Regulation S under the U.S.
  Securities Act if applicable, (c) inside the United Sates (1) pursuant to the

  laws and regulations governing the offer and sale of securities, and the
  holder has prior to such sale furnished to the Issuer an opinion of counsel
  or other evidence of exemption in form and substance reasonably satisfactory
  to Austral. Provided 

- 2 -

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
that if Austral is a “foreign issuer” as that term is defined by
  Regulation S of the U.S. Securities Act at the time of sale, a new
  certificate bearing no restrictive legend, delivery of which will constitute
  “Good Delivery” may be obtained form the transfer agent, upon delivery of
  this certificate and a duly executed declaration, in form satisfactory to
  Austral and its transfer agent, to the effect that the sale of the securities
  represented hereby is being made in compliance with Rule 904 of Regulation S
  under the U.S. Securities Act.”

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
If the
  Issuer is a “foreign issuer” within the meaning of Regulation S under the
  U.S. Securities Act at the time of sale, a new certificate, which will
  constitute “good delivery”, will be made available to the Investor upon

(the “U.S. Securities Act”) and (b) certifies that (1) the undersigned is not
an affiliate of the Company (as that term is defined in Rule 405 under the U.S.

the United States and any person acting on its behalf reasonably believed that
the buyer was outside the United States, or (B) the transaction was executed
in, on or through the facilities of the applicable Canadian stock exchanges
designated in Regulation S or any other Designated Offshore Securities Market

engaged or will engage in any directed selling efforts in the United States in
connection with the offer and sale of such securities, (4) the sale is bona

because the securities are “restricted securities” (as such term is defined in

not a transaction, or part of a series of transaction which, although in
technical compliance with Regulation S under the U.S. Securities Act, is part
of a plan or scheme to evade the registration provisions of the U.S. Securities

(a)

	
Share Issue: The payment of NZ$3,000,000
 will be satisfied by the issue to the Vendors of ordinary shares in Austral
 Pacific Energy Ltd. to the value of NZ$3,000,000 (APX Shares). The number of APX Shares to be issued will be

(i)

	
The USD sale
 price for ordinary shares in Austral Pacific Energy Ltd. at close of trade on

 added together and then divided by 5 to determine the average USD sale price
 for the five trading days prior to the Condition Date. 

	
 

	
 

	
Share Sale Agreement

	
Page 6

	 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
(ii)

	
The average
 USD sale price calculated under (i) above will then be converted to a NZD
 sale price using the average buy and sell exchange rate quoted by ASB at
 midday in New Zealand on the Condition Date.

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
(iii)

	
Subject to
 (iv) below, the total number of APX Shares to be issued will be NZ$3,000,000
 divided by the NZD sale price calculated under (ii) above (rounded up to the
 nearest whole number). 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
(iv)

	
On the date
 prior to the date on which the APX Shares are to be issued (“Pricing Date”),
 the USD sale price calculated under (i) above will be will be converted to a
 CND sale price using the average buy and sell cash rate quoted by RBC Royal
 Bank at midday in Vancouver on that day, and compared with the CND sale price
 for ordinary shares in Austral Pacific Energy Ltd. as at the close of trade
 on the Pricing Date on the TSX-V (Market
 Price). If the CND sale price as converted is less than the
 “Discounted Market Price” (as determined under (v) below) then the total
 number of APX Shares to be issued will be determined on the basis of the
 “Discounted Market Price” as follows: 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
(A)

	
The
 “Discounted Market Price” will be converted to a NZD sale price using the
 average buy and sell exchange rate quoted by ASB at midday in New Zealand on
 the Pricing Date. 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
(B)

	
The total
 number of APX Shares to be issued will be NZ$3,000,000 divided by the NZD
 sale price calculated under (A) above (rounded up to the nearest whole
 number). 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
(v)

	
For the
 purposes of this clause the “Discounted Market Price” means the Market Price
 less a discount calculated on the basis of the following table, subject to a
 minimum price of CND0.05: 

	
 

	
 

	
Market Price (CND)

	
Discount

	 

	 

	
0 – 0.50

	
25%

	
0.51 – 2.00

	
20%

	
2.01+

	
15%

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
As soon as
 practicable after the total number of APX Shares has been determined, the
 Purchaser will advise the Vendors, and the Vendors will advise the number of
 those shares to be issued to each Vendor and the register (Canadian or New
 Zealand) applicable for each Vendor. The Purchaser will use its reasonable
 endeavours to procure the issue of the APX Shares in time for settlement on
 21 September 2007 but the Vendors acknowledge that this may not be possible
 taking into account the regulatory and other processes required for such
 issue. In the event that, for any reason, any of the APX Shares has not been
 duly issued by the date that is 120 days after the Condition Date, then
 (unless agreed otherwise) the issue of such shares shall be cancelled and
 instead the Purchaser shall satisfy the relevant portion of the Purchase
 Price by a payment in cash. The amount of the cash payment will be the value
 of the relevant shares (as calculated by multiplying the number of the

	
 

	
 

	
Share Sale Agreement

	
Page 7

	 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
relevant
 shares by the NZD sale price calculated under paragraph (ii) above) plus
 interest at the Default Interest Rate on such amount from 21 September 2007
 through to the date of payment in full. 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
(b)

	
Cash Payment: The remaining NZ$4,000,000
 will be paid on the date that is 120 days after the Condition Date by bank
 transfer of cleared funds to such bank account as is advised in writing by
 the Vendors at Closing. The payment shall be apportioned amongst the Vendors
 in accordance with their agreed percentage entitlements but payment of the
 amount to such bank account shall be a good discharge to the Purchaser. If
 the Purchaser obtains funding for the transaction contemplated by this
 Agreement sooner than the payment date required by this clause, the Purchaser
 shall use reasonable endeavours to pay the cash balance before the payment
 date so required.

(a)

	
Threshold: unless the aggregate amount of
  all individual claims comprising the first claim made in any one year from

  subsequent claims made in that year;

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
(b)

	
Maximum Liability: to the extent that the

7.6

	
Taxation Warranty Claim Limitations: The
  Purchaser will not be entitled to make any claim whatsoever against the

7.7

	
Notification: If, before Closing, the
  Vendors become aware of any Warranty being unfulfilled or materially untrue,
  misleading or inaccurate or of any circumstance which will or would
  reasonably be likely to result in any of the Warranties being unfulfilled or
  materially untrue, misleading or inaccurate at Closing, or any event will
  occur which may entitle the Purchaser to exercise its rights of cancellation
  under clause 7.11, the Vendors must immediately notify the Purchaser in
  writing of all relevant information, circumstances or events.

7.9

	
Gross Up: If:

(b)

	
Payment: the Purchaser is required by law to
  make any payment or suffers any Taxation on or in relation to any amount
  received or receivable by the Purchaser under this agreement;

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
then the sum
  payable by the Vendors will be increased to the extent necessary to ensure
  that after making the deduction, withholding or payment, or suffering the
  Taxation, the Purchaser receives and retains (free of any liability in
  respect of any such deduction, withholding or payment, or Taxation) a net sum
  equal to the sum that the Purchaser would have received and retained had no
  such deduction, withholding or payment been made, and no such Taxation been
  suffered.

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
 

	
7.10

	
Other Rights: The Purchaser’s rights to
  demand payment under this section 7 are additional to and separate from any

  no such rights will detract from the provisions of this section 7.

Cancellation for Breach of Warranty: If on
  or before Closing the Vendors notify the Purchaser or the Purchaser otherwise
  reasonably forms the view that any of the Warranties are or will be
  unfulfilled or materially untrue, misleading or inaccurate and has first
  advised the Vendors of its view and the reasons for this view the Purchaser
  will be entitled by notice in writing to the Vendors (detailing the basis on
  which the Purchaser believes any of the Warranties are or will be unfulfilled
  or materially untrue, misleading or inaccurate) to cancel this agreement but
  failure to exercise this right will not constitute a waiver of any other
  rights of the Purchaser arising out of such Warranties being unfulfilled or
  materially untrue, misleading or inaccurate.
