 WITNESSES THAT WHEREAS: 
  

	A.	The Company is a public company currently listed on the TSX Venture Exchange (the “Exchange”), carrying on the business of acquiring, exploring and developing petroleum and natural gas properties;

  

	B.	The Executive presently provides services to the Company as Chairman of the Board of Directors; 

  

	C.	The parties wish to update the terms of the Executive’s engagement with the Company; 

 NOW
THEREFORE in consideration of the premises and mutual covenants herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged by both parties, the parties hereby covenant and agree with each other
as follows: 
  

	1.	ENGAGEMENT OF EXECUTIVE 

 1.1 Effective Date. This Agreement shall become effective as of
January 1, 2013 (the “Effective Date”) and supercedes all previous agreements entered into between the parties concerning the Executive’s provision of services to the Company. 

1.2 Position. The Company agrees to continue to retain the Executive, and the Executive agrees to continue to serve, as the Chairman of the Board of
Directors (the “Board”). 
 1.3 Term. The term of this Agreement and engagement of the Executive shall be for an initial term of 36
months following the Effective Date, provided that this Agreement may be terminated by either party as provided herein. The term of this Agreement may be extended from time to time by mutual agreement of the parties in writing. 

1.4 Duties and Reporting. The Executive shall report to and be directly responsible to the Board . The Executive will have the duties and
authorities commonly associated with the Executive’s office and such other duties reasonably related thereto as may be assigned by the Company from time to time, but in particular the Executive will be primarily responsible for strategic
direction, corporate development, financing and public relations. 

	2.	COMPENSATION 

 2.1 Monthly Billing. The Company will pay the Executive the sum of $15,000 (USD)
per month, in arrears, on the final business day of each month. The Company will pay the Executive a bonus of $70,000 (USD) each calendar year provided the Executive has been continuously engaged by the Company during the calendar year. The bonus
will be paid in January following the completion of the said calendar year. 
 2.2 Compensation Review. The Board (or its Compensation Committee)
will review the Executive’s compensation following the completion of each calendar year and will make any adjustments it determines are reasonable in its opinion, taking into account, but shall not be limited to considering, the
Executive’s performance, the financial and operating success of the Company in the preceding 12 months and salaries for comparable positions in the marketplace. The compensation shall not be reduced, except by written agreement signed by the
Executive. 
 2.3 Incentive Plans. The Executive shall be entitled to participate in any incentive programs for the Company’s executives,
including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, share option plans, share purchase plans, stock appreciation rights, profit-sharing or bonus plans (collectively, the “Incentive Plans”). Participation shall be on the
terms and conditions of such Incentive Plans as at the date hereof or as may from time to time be amended or implemented by the Board in its sole discretion. Except as hereafter specifically set out, the Executive acknowledges that his participation
in these Incentive Plans will be to such extent, on such terms and in such amounts as the Board in its sole discretion may decide from time to time, and the Executive shall have no absolute entitlement to such participation. Any bonuses paid will
generally be tied to performance of the Company, measured by increased value of the Company or its assets, attributable to the efforts of the Executive (either alone or in conjunction with others). 

The Executive agrees that except in respect to share options or other incentive mechanisms which have been granted to the Executive, the
Company may substitute, reduce, modify the terms of or eliminate its Incentive Plans from year to year in the sole discretion of the Board or to meet regulatory or relevant stock exchange requirements. 

2.4 Expenses. The Executive shall be reimbursed by the Company for all out-of-pocket expenses actually, necessarily and properly incurred by the
Executive in the discharge of his duties for the Company. The Executive agrees that such reimbursements shall be due only after the Executive has rendered an itemized expense account showing all monies actually expended on behalf of the Company and
such other information as may be required and requested by the Company. 
 2.6 Accelerated Vesting. Notwithstanding the provision of any plan or
agreement but subject to any required approval of the Exchange, which the Company will take all reasonable steps to promptly obtain, upon the announcement of any form of transaction which, if completed, would constitute a Change of Control (as
defined herein), all granted share options of the Executive which have not vested shall be deemed to be fully vested and exercisable so as to permit the Executive to exercise such options and participate in the Change of Control transaction in
respect of the shares thereby acquired.

attempt to use any Confidential Information which the Executive may acquire in the course of providing services to the Company for his own benefit or that of any other person, directly or indirectly. The provisions of this section will survive the
termination of this Agreement.

 In any such event, the Executive shall not be entitled to any compensation
or notice, but shall be entitled to receive the compensation earned to the date of termination and payment of any reimbursable expenses.

Company and such shareholding exceeds the collective shareholding of the current directors of the Company, excluding any directors acting in concert with the acquiring party; or 

 

	 	(b)	the removal, by extraordinary resolution of the shareholders of the Company, of more than 51% of the then incumbent Board or the election of a majority of directors to the Board who were not nominees of the
Company’s incumbent Board at the time immediately preceding such election; or 

  

	 	(c)	consummation of a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company; or

Executive’s engagement is not terminated by the Company, the Executive shall be entitled to a bonus pursuant to section 2.3 commensurate with the value received by the Company, as determined by the Board. The Executive shall be entitled to

control. 
 4.10 Right to Deduct. The Company shall have the right to offset any money properly due by the Executive to the Company against any
amounts payable by the Company to the Executive under this Agreement.

4.1, 4.2 or 4.5 may be exercised at any time and from time to time within 30 days after such date. 
 4.12 Incapacity. If the Executive becomes: 

 

	 	(a)	temporarily disabled before termination of his engagement hereunder, the Company and its subsidiaries will pay the Executive his monthly compensation to which he is otherwise entitled pursuant to section 2.1 above
provided the Executive exercises reasonable efforts to return to his duties as soon as practicable until such time as the Executive is eligible for long term disability benefits (if any), or 

 

	 	(b)	permanently disabled (which shall refer to any disability resulting in the Executive being unable to perform substantially all of his obligations under this Agreement for more than 120 consecutive days or more than 120

commencing on such termination, on the last business day of each month following the date of termination of this Agreement, an amount equal to the amount of the monthly fee under section 2.1 at the time of such termination. Such payments shall be in

THEREFORE in consideration of the premises and mutual covenants herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged by both parties, the parties hereby covenant and agree with each other
as follows:

1.2 Position. The Company agrees to continue to retain the Executive, and the Executive agrees to continue to serve, as the Chief Executive Officer,
President and Corporate Secretary. 
 1.3 Term. The term of this Agreement and engagement of the Executive shall be for an initial term of 36 months

	2.	COMPENSATION 

 2.1 Monthly Billing. The Company will pay the Executive a salary, before statutory
deductions, of $5,000 (CDN) per month, in arrears, on the final business day of each month. In addition, the Company acknowledges that Squall Capital Corp., a company wholly owned by the Executive, and the employees thereof, will continue to provide
monthly administrative and support services to the Company on a cost recovery basis. The monthly billings of Squall Capital Corp. will not exceed $20,000 (CDN) per month without approval of the Board. 

2.2 Compensation Review. The Board (or its Compensation Committee) will review the Executive’s compensation following the completion of each
calendar year and will make any adjustments it determines are reasonable in its opinion, taking into account, but shall not be limited to considering, the Executive’s performance, the financial and operating success of the Company in the
preceding 12 months and salaries for comparable positions in the marketplace. The compensation shall not be reduced, except by written agreement signed by the Executive. 

2.3 Incentive Plans. The Executive shall be entitled to participate in any incentive programs for the Company’s executives, including, without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, share option plans, share purchase plans, stock appreciation rights, profit-sharing or bonus plans (collectively, the “Incentive Plans”). Participation shall be on the terms and conditions

performance of the Company, measured by increased value of the Company or its assets, attributable to the efforts of the Executive (either alone or in conjunction with others).

 2.5 Accelerated Vesting. Notwithstanding the provision of any plan or
agreement but subject to any required approval of the Exchange, which the Company will take all reasonable steps to promptly obtain, upon the announcement of any form of transaction which, if completed, would constitute a Change of Control (as

Company and such shareholding exceeds the collective shareholding of the current directors of the Company, excluding any directors acting in concert with the acquiring party; or
