Section 1. Authorization of Notes.

The Company will authorize the issue and sale of GBP 50,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 5.46% Senior Notes due December 1, 2015 (the “Notes”, such term to include any such notes issued in substitution therefor pursuant to Section 13 of this Agreement or the Other Agreements (as hereinafter defined)). The Notes shall be substantially in the form set out in Exhibit 1, with such changes therefrom, if any, as may be approved by you and the Company. Certain capitalized terms used in this Agreement are defined in Schedule B; references to a “Section,” “Schedule” or an “Exhibit” are, unless otherwise specified, to a Section of, or a Schedule or an Exhibit attached to, this Agreement.

Section 2. Sale and Purchase of Notes.

Section 2.1. Sale and Purchase of Notes. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Company will issue and sell to you and you will purchase from the Company, at the Closing provided for in Section 3, Notes in the principal amount specified opposite your name in Schedule A at the purchase price of 100% of the principal amount thereof. Contemporaneously with entering into this Agreement, the Company is entering into separate Note Purchase Agreements (the “Other Agreements”) identical with this Agreement with each of the other purchasers named in Schedule A (the “Other Purchasers”), providing for the sale at such Closing to each of the Other Purchasers of Notes in the principal amount specified opposite its name in Schedule A. Your obligation hereunder, and the obligations of the Other Purchasers under the Other Agreements, are several and not joint obligations, and you shall have no obligation under any Other Agreement and no liability to any Person for the performance or nonperformance by any Other Purchaser thereunder.

Section 2.2. Trust Guaranty. Payment by the Company of all amounts due with respect to the Notes shall be absolutely and unconditionally guaranteed by Pengrowth Energy Trust, a mutual fund trust formed in accordance with the laws of Alberta (the “Trust”), pursuant to a guaranty agreement dated as of the date hereof substantially in the form attached to this Agreement as Exhibit 2.2 (the “Trust Guaranty”) in favor of the holders of the Notes.

Section 2.3. Subordination Agreement.

Section 3. Closing.

The sale and purchase of the Notes to be purchased by you and the Other Purchasers shall occur at the offices of Xxxxxxx and Xxxxxx LLP, 000 Xxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx 00000, at 10:00 a.m. Chicago time, at a closing (the “Closing”) on December 1, 2005.

If at the Closing the Company shall fail to tender such Notes to you as provided above in this Section 3, or any of the conditions specified in Section 4 shall not have been fulfilled to your satisfaction, you shall, at your election, be relieved of all further obligations under this Agreement, without thereby waiving any rights you may have by reason of such failure or such nonfulfillment.

Section 5. Representations and Warranties.

The Company represents and warrants to you on and as of the date of the Closing that:

Section 5.1. Organization; Power and Authority. The Company is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of Alberta, and is duly qualified as an extra-provincial or a foreign corporation and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is required by law, other than those jurisdictions as to which the failure to be so qualified or in good standing could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The Company has the corporate power and authority to own or hold under lease the properties it purports to own or hold under lease, to transact the business it transacts and proposes to transact, to execute and deliver this Agreement, the Other Agreements and the Notes and to perform the provisions hereof and thereof. The Company is subject to the relevant commercial law and civil law and is generally subject to suit and it is not, nor does any of its properties or revenues, enjoy any right of immunity from any judicial proceedings, including attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution, execution of the judgment or otherwise. The execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Other Agreements and the Notes constitute private and commercial acts rather than governmental or public acts of the Company.

Section 5.2. Authorization, Etc. This Agreement, the Other Agreements and the Notes have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Company, and this Agreement constitutes, and upon execution and delivery thereof each Note will constitute, a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by (a) applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and (b) general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).

Section 5.3. Disclosure. The Company, through its agent, HSBC Securities (USA) Inc. has delivered to you and each Other Purchaser a copy of an Information Memorandum dated October 2005 (the “Memorandum”), relating to the transactions contemplated hereby. The Memorandum fairly describes, in all material respects, the general nature of the business and principal properties of the Trust and its Subsidiaries. This Agreement, the Memorandum, the documents, certificates or other writings delivered to you by or on behalf of the Company in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and the financial statements listed in Schedule 5.5, taken as a whole, do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances under which they were made. Since December 31, 2004 there has been no change in the financial condition, operations, business or properties of the Trust or any Subsidiary

-5-

except changes that individually or in the aggregate could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. There is no fact known to the Company that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect that has not been set forth herein or in the Memorandum or in the other documents, certificates and other writings delivered to you by or on behalf of the Company specifically for use in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby.

Section 5.4. Organization and Ownership of Shares of Restricted Subsidiaries or Unrestricted Subsidiaries; Affiliates. (a) Schedule 5.4 contains (except as noted therein) complete and correct lists (i) of the Trust’s Subsidiaries (other than the Company), showing, as to each Subsidiary, the correct name thereof, whether it is a Restricted or Unrestricted Subsidiary, the jurisdiction of its organization and the percentage of shares of each class of its capital stock or similar equity interests outstanding owned by the Trust and each other Subsidiary, (ii) of the Trust’s Affiliates, other than Subsidiaries, and (iii) of the Company’s directors and senior officers.

(b) All of the outstanding shares of capital stock or similar equity interests of each Subsidiary shown in Schedule 5.4 as being owned by the Trust and its Subsidiaries have been validly issued, are fully paid and nonassessable and are owned by the Trust or another Subsidiary free and clear of any Lien (except as otherwise disclosed in Schedule 5.4).

(c) Each Subsidiary identified in Schedule 5.4 is a corporation or other legal entity duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization, and is duly qualified as an extra-provincial or a foreign corporation or other legal entity and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is required by law, other than those jurisdictions as to which the failure to be so qualified or in good standing could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Each such Subsidiary has the corporate or other power and authority to own or hold under lease the properties it purports to own or hold under lease and to transact the business it transacts and proposes to transact.

(d) No Subsidiary is a party to, or otherwise subject to, any legal restriction or any agreement (other than this Agreement, the Subordination Agreement, the Prior Subordination Agreement, the Bank Subordination Agreement and customary limitations imposed by corporate law or legally equivalent statutes) restricting the ability of such Subsidiary to pay dividends out of profits or make any other similar distributions of profits to the Trust or any of its Subsidiaries that owns outstanding shares of capital stock or similar Equity Interests of such Subsidiary.

Section 5.5. Financial Statements. The Company has delivered to each Purchaser copies of the financial statements of the Trust listed on Schedule 5.5. All of said financial statements (including in each case the related schedules and notes) fairly present in all material respects the consolidated financial position of the Trust and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis as of the respective dates specified in such financial statements and the consolidated results of the Trust’s operations and cash flows for the respective periods so specified and have been prepared in accordance with GAAP consistently applied throughout the periods involved except as set forth

-6-

in the notes thereto (subject, in the case of any interim financial statements, to normal year-end adjustments).

Section 5.6. Compliance with Laws, Other Instruments, Etc. The execution, delivery and performance by the Company of this Agreement and the Notes will not (a) contravene, result in any breach of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation of any Lien in respect of any property of the Trust or any Subsidiary under, any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan, purchase or credit agreement, lease, corporate charter or by-laws or the legal equivalent of the foregoing, or any other agreement or instrument to which the Trust or any Subsidiary is bound or by which the Trust or any Subsidiary or any of their respective properties may be bound or affected, (b) conflict with or result in a breach of any of the terms, conditions or provisions of any order, judgment, decree, or ruling of any court, arbitrator or Governmental Authority applicable to the Trust or any Subsidiary, or (c) violate any provision of any statute or other rule or regulation of any Governmental Authority applicable to the Trust or any Subsidiary.

Section 5.7. Governmental Authorizations, Etc. No consent, approval or authorization of, or registration, filing or declaration with, any Governmental Authority is required in connection with the execution, delivery or performance by the Company of this Agreement or the Notes, other than the filing of a report of trade on Form 45-106F1 (and payment of the prescribed fees) within 10 days of the date of the Closing.

Section 5.8. Litigation; Observance of Agreements, Statutes and Orders. (a) There are no actions, suits or proceedings pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened against or affecting the Trust or any Subsidiary or any property of the Trust or any Subsidiary in any court or before any arbitrator of any kind or before or by any Governmental Authority that, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(b) Neither the Trust nor any Subsidiary is in default under any term of any agreement or instrument to which it is a party or by which it is bound, or any order, judgment, decree or ruling of any court, arbitrator or Governmental Authority or is in violation of any applicable law, ordinance, rule or regulation (including, without limitation, Environmental Laws) of any Governmental Authority, which default or violation, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 5.9. Taxes. The Trust and its Subsidiaries have filed all tax returns that are required to have been filed in any jurisdiction, and have paid all taxes shown to be due and payable on such returns and all other taxes and assessments levied upon them or their properties, assets, income or franchises, to the extent such taxes and assessments have become due and payable and before they have become delinquent, except for any taxes and assessments (a) the amount of which is not individually or in the aggregate Material or (b) the amount, applicability or validity of which is currently being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and with respect to which the Trust or a Subsidiary, as the case may be, has established adequate reserves in accordance with GAAP. The Trust knows of no basis for any other tax or assessment that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The charges, accruals and reserves on the books of the Trust and its Subsidiaries in respect of Canadian federal, provincial or other taxes for all fiscal periods are adequate. The Canadian federal and provincial income

-7-

tax liabilities, if any, of the Trust and its Subsidiaries have been assessed by Canada Revenue Agency and paid for all fiscal years up to and including the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004.

Section 5.10. Title to Property; Leases. The Trust and its Subsidiaries have good and sufficient title to their respective properties that individually or in the aggregate are Material, including all such properties reflected in the most recent audited balance sheet referred to in Section 5.5 or purported to have been acquired by the Trust or any Subsidiary after said date (except as sold or otherwise disposed of in the ordinary course of business), in each case free and clear of Liens prohibited by this Agreement. All leases that individually or in the aggregate are Material are valid and subsisting and are in full force and effect in all material respects.

Section 5.11. Licenses, Permits, Etc. (a) The Trust and its Subsidiaries own or possess all licenses, permits, franchises, authorizations, patents, copyrights, service marks, trademarks and trade names, or rights thereto, that individually or in the aggregate are Material, without known conflict with the rights of others.

(b) To the best knowledge of the Company, no product of the Trust or any of its Subsidiaries infringes in any Material respect any license, permit, franchise, authorization, patent, copyright, service xxxx, trademark, trade name or other right owned by any other Person.

(c) To the best knowledge of the Company, there is no Material violation by any Person of any right of the Trust or any of its Subsidiaries with respect to any patent, copyright, service xxxx, trademark, trade name or other right owned or used by the Trust or any of its Subsidiaries.

Section 5.12. Compliance with Pension Laws. Each Pension Plan has been maintained in substantial compliance with its terms and with the requirements of any and all applicable laws, statutes, rules, regulations and orders and has been maintained, where required, in good standing with applicable regulatory authorities; neither the Trust nor any Subsidiary has incurred any obligation in connection with the termination of or withdrawal from any Pension Plan; and the present value of the accrued benefit liabilities (whether or not vested) under each Pension Plan, determined as of the end of the Trust’s most recently ended fiscal year on the basis of actuarial assumptions, each of which is reasonable, did not exceed the current value of the assets of such Pension Plan allocable to such benefit liabilities. All contributions required to be made with respect to a Pension Plan have been timely made.

Section 5.13. Private Offering by the Company. Neither the Company nor anyone acting on its behalf has offered the Notes or any similar securities for sale to, or solicited any offer to buy any of the same from, or otherwise approached or negotiated in respect thereof with, any Person other than you, the Other Purchasers and not more than 35 other Institutional Investors, each of which has been offered the Notes at a private sale for investment.

-8-

Section 5.15. Existing Debt; Future Liens.

Neither the Trust nor any Subsidiary is in default and no waiver of default is currently in effect, in the payment of any principal or interest on any Debt of the Trust or such Subsidiary and no event or condition exists with respect to any Debt of the Trust or any Subsidiary that would permit (or that with notice or the lapse of time, or both, would permit) one or more Persons to cause such Debt to become due and payable before its stated maturity or before its regularly scheduled dates of payment.

(b) Neither the Trust nor any Subsidiary has agreed or consented to cause or permit in the future (upon the happening of a contingency or otherwise) any of its property, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, to be subject to a Lien not permitted by Section 10.4.

Section 5.16. Notes Rank Pari Passu.

Section 8. Prepayment of the Notes.

Section 8.1. Required Prepayments. No regular scheduled payment of the principal of the Notes is required prior to the date of its maturity.

Section 8.2. Optional Prepayments. The Company may, at its option, upon notice provided below, prepay at any time all, or from time to time any part of, the Notes in an amount not less than 5% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding (but if in the case of a partial prepayment, then against the Notes in proportion to the aggregate principal amount outstanding), at 100% of the principal amount so prepaid, together with interest accrued thereon to the date of such prepayment, plus the Make-Whole Amount determined for the prepayment date with respect to such principal amount. The Company will give each holder of Notes written notice of each optional prepayment under this Section 8.2 not less than 30 days and not more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for such prepayment. Each such notice shall specify such date, the aggregate principal amount of the Notes to be prepaid on such date, the principal amount of each Note held by such holder to be prepaid (determined in accordance with Section 8.4), and the interest to be paid on the prepayment date with respect to such principal amount being prepaid, and shall also be accompanied by a certificate of a Senior Financial Officer as to the estimated Make-Whole Amount due in connection with such prepayment (calculated as if the date of such notice were the date of the prepayment), setting forth the details of such computation.

Section 8.3. Redemption for Reasons of Taxation. If in the good faith opinion of the Board of Directors of the Company (which determination shall be accompanied by a written opinion of an independent tax counsel of recognized national standing to the same such effect), the Company would be obligated to pay a Tax Indemnity Amount greater than 5% of any interest payment in respect of the Notes pursuant to Section 14.3 as a result of a change of tax law after the date of this Agreement, then and in such event, but only in such event, on the occasion of any payment pursuant to Section 14.3, the Company may, by giving written notice to each holder of the Notes not less than 30 days nor more than 60 days before the date fixed for a prepayment pursuant to this Section 8.3, prepay all (but not less than all) of the outstanding Notes with respect to which any such amounts will be payable by payment of the principal amount of the Notes and accrued interest thereon to the date of such prepayment, together with any amount then due and owing pursuant to Section 14.3, but without premium. At any time on or after the date on which any holder of the Notes receives notice pursuant to this Section 8.3 that the Company intends to prepay the Notes held by such holder pursuant to this Section 8.3, but not less than two Business Days prior to the date scheduled for such prepayment, such holder may, by notice delivered to the Company in the manner provided in Section 18, irrevocably waive any and all right to any payment of any additional amounts the Company would become obligated to pay under Section 14.3 as a result of any deduction or withholding which would be required with respect to any Relevant Tax, such waiver to be effective as of the date of delivery by the Company of such notice of prepayment and to survive termination of this Agreement and payment in full of the Notes, provided that no such waiver shall be deemed to constitute a waiver of any right to receive a payment in full under Section 14.3 in respect of any other event or condition that shall have given rise to the Company’s prepayment right under this Section 8.3, including, without limitation, any increase in the amount of any payment that a holder of any Note would be entitled to receive under Section 14.3 notwithstanding any waiver previously delivered pursuant to this Section 8.3. Effective upon receipt of notice of such waiver, the Company shall then cease to have any right of prepayment with respect to such Notes under this Section 8.3 in respect of the Relevant Tax to which the notice relates. True, correct and complete copies of any determination by the Board of Directors of the Company as to the existence of any such obligation to pay a Relevant Tax as herein contemplated and the opinion of independent nationally recognized tax counsel to the same such effect shall be furnished to each holder of the Notes concurrently with any written notice delivered to the holders of the Notes pursuant to the first sentence of this Section 8.3.

Section 8.4. Allocation of Partial Prepayments. In the case of each partial prepayment of the Notes pursuant to Section 8.2, the principal amount of the Notes to be prepaid shall be allocated pro rata among all of the holders of the Notes at the time outstanding in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to the respective unpaid principal amounts thereof not theretofore called for prepayment. All prepayments pursuant to Section 8.3 shall be applied as therein provided.

Section 8.5. Maturity; Surrender, Etc. In the case of each prepayment of Notes pursuant to this Section 8, the principal amount of each Note to be prepaid shall mature and become due and payable on the date fixed for such prepayment, together with interest on such principal amount accrued to such date and the applicable Make-Whole Amount, if any. From and after such date, unless the Company shall fail to pay such principal amount when so due and payable, together with the interest and Make-Whole Amount, if any, as aforesaid, interest on such

-15-

principal amount shall cease to accrue. Any Note paid or prepaid in full shall be surrendered to the Company and cancelled and shall not be reissued, and no Note shall be issued in lieu of any prepaid principal amount of any Note.

Section 8.6. Purchase of Notes. The Company will not and will not permit any Affiliate to purchase, redeem, prepay or otherwise acquire, directly or indirectly, the outstanding Notes or any part or portion thereof except upon the payment or prepayment of the Notes in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Notes. The Company will promptly cancel all Notes acquired by it or any Affiliate pursuant to any payment, prepayment or purchase of Notes pursuant to any provision of this Agreement and no Notes may be issued in substitution or exchange for any such Notes.

Section 8.7. Make-Whole Amount. The term “Make-Whole Amount” means, with respect to any Note, an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the Discounted Value of the Remaining Scheduled Payments with respect to the Called Principal of such Note over the amount of such Called Principal; provided that the Make-Whole Amount may in no event be less than zero. For the purposes of determining the Make-Whole Amount, the following terms have the following meanings:

“Called Principal” means, with respect to any Note, the principal of such Note that is to be prepaid pursuant to Section 8.2 or has become or is declared to be immediately due and payable pursuant to Section 12.1, as the context requires.

“Discounted Value” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Note, the amount obtained by discounting all Remaining Scheduled Payments with respect to such Called Principal from their respective scheduled due dates to the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal, in accordance with accepted financial practice and at a discount factor (applied on the same periodic basis as that on which interest on the Notes is payable) equal to the Reinvestment Yield with respect to such Called Principal.

“Reinvestment Yield” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Note, .50%, whether in the case of any prepayment of the Notes pursuant to Section 8.2 or in the case of the acceleration of the Notes pursuant to Section 12.1, over the yield to maturity implied by (i) the gross redemption yield as published in the Financial Times of London on the second Business Day preceding the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal, for the then most actively traded on-the-run UK Treasury securities (the “Reference Share”) having a maturity closest to the Remaining Average Life of such Called Principal as of such Settlement Date, or (ii) if (a) the Financial Times of London is not published on that day, or (b) there is a manifest error in the published figures or (c) the calculation in the Financial Times of London ceases to be in keeping with the Formula for the Calculation of Redemption Yields indicated in the United Kingdom Debt Management Office notice entitled “Formulae for Calculating Gilt Prices from Yields”, page 4, Section One: Price/Yield Formulae “Conventional Gilts: Double-dated and Undated Gilts with assumed (or Actual) Redemption on a Quasi-Coupon Date” published on June 8, 1998, as supplemented, amended or replaced from time to time (the “Formulae”), then the gross redemption yield calculated on the basis of the arithmetic

-16-

mean (to three decimal places 0.0005 rounded down) of the mid-market price for the Reference Share on a dealing basis by three authorized leading market makers in the gilt-edged market selected by the Company and acceptable to the Required Holders on the second Business Day preceding the Settlement Date according to the Formulae and shall be the yield on the then most actively traded United Kingdom Treasury securities having a constant maturity closest to the Remaining Average Life of such Called Principal as of such Settlement Date (such implied yield being determined, if necessary, by (a) converting United Kingdom xxxx quotations to bond-equivalent yields in accordance with accepted financial practice and (b) interpolating linearly between (1) the actively traded United Kingdom Treasury security with the maturity closest to and greater than the Remaining Average Life of such Called Principal and (2) the actively traded United Kingdom government security with the maturity closest to and less than the Remaining Average Life of such Called Principal).

“Remaining Average Life” means, with respect to any Called Principal, the number of years (calculated to the nearest one-twelfth year) obtained by dividing (a) such Called Principal into (b) the sum of the products obtained by multiplying (i) the principal component of each Remaining Scheduled Payment with respect to such Called Principal by (ii) the number of years (calculated to the nearest one-twelfth year) that will elapse between the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal and the scheduled due date of such Remaining Scheduled Payment.

“Remaining Scheduled Payments” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Note, all payments of such Called Principal and interest thereon that would be due after the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal if no payment of such Called Principal were made prior to its scheduled due date; provided that if such Settlement Date is not a date on which interest payments are due to be made under the terms of the Notes, then the amount of the next succeeding scheduled interest payment will be reduced by the amount of interest accrued to such Settlement Date and required to be paid on such Settlement Date pursuant to Section 8.2 or 12.1.

“Settlement Date” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Note, the date on which such Called Principal is to be prepaid pursuant to Section 8.2 or has become or is declared to be immediately due and payable pursuant to Section 12.1, as the context requires.

Section 9. Affirmative Covenants.

The Company covenants that so long as any of the Notes are outstanding:

Section 9.1. Compliance with Law. (a) The Company will, and will cause the Trust and each other Restricted Subsidiary to, comply with all laws, ordinances or governmental rules or regulations to which each of them is subject, including, without limitation, applicable laws in respect of Pension Plans and all Environmental Laws, and will obtain and maintain in effect all licenses, certificates, permits, franchises and other governmental authorizations necessary to the ownership of their respective properties or to the conduct of their respective businesses, in each

-17-

case to the extent necessary to ensure that non-compliance with such laws, ordinances or governmental rules or regulations or failures to obtain or maintain in effect such licenses, certificates, permits, franchises and other governmental authorizations could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(b) Without limiting Section 9.1(a), the Company will not, and will not permit the Trust or any other Restricted Subsidiary, to take any action that would cause any supplemental pension plan, any employee pension arrangement or any employee benefit plan maintained by it to be terminated in a manner which could reasonably be anticipated to result in the imposition of a Material Lien on any property of the Trust or any Restricted Subsidiary pursuant to any Canadian federal or provincial law, nor will the Company permit the Trust or any other Restricted Subsidiary to withdraw from any multiemployer plan if, in any such case, such termination or withdrawal would have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 9.2. Insurance. The Company will, and will cause the Trust and each other Restricted Subsidiary to, maintain, with financially sound and reputable insurers, insurance with respect to their respective properties and businesses against such casualties and contingencies, of such types, on such terms and in such amounts (including deductibles, co-insurance and self-insurance, if adequate reserves are maintained with respect thereto) as is customary in the case of entities of established reputations engaged in the same or a similar business and similarly situated, except where the failure to maintain any such insurance could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 9.3. Maintenance of Properties. The Company will, and will cause the Trust and each other Restricted Subsidiary to, maintain and keep, or cause to be maintained and kept, their respective properties in good repair, working order and condition (other than ordinary wear and tear), so that the business carried on in connection therewith may be properly conducted at all times; provided that this Section 9.3 shall not prevent the Trust or any Restricted Subsidiary from discontinuing the operation and the maintenance of any of its properties if such discontinuance is desirable in the conduct of its business and the Company has concluded that such discontinuance could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 9.4. Payment of Taxes and Claims.

-18-

nonpayment of all such taxes and assessments in the aggregate could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Subject to Sections 10.6 and 10.7, the Company will at all times preserve and keep in full force and effect the legal existence of each other Restricted Subsidiary (unless merged into the Trust, the Company or another Restricted Subsidiary) and all rights and franchises of the Trust and the Restricted Subsidiaries unless, in the good faith judgment of the Company, the termination of or failure to preserve and keep in full force and effect such legal existence, right or franchise could not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 9.6. Nature of Business. Neither the Trust nor any Restricted Subsidiary will engage in any business if, as a result, the general nature of the business, taken on a consolidated basis, which would then be engaged in by the Trust and the Restricted Subsidiaries would be substantially changed from its business relating to the development, production, processing and transportation of hydrocarbons.

Section 9.7. Notes to Rank Pari Passu. The Notes and all other obligations under this Agreement of the Company are and at all times shall remain direct and unsecured obligations of the Company ranking pari passu as against the assets of the Company with all other present and future unsecured Senior Debt (actual or contingent) of the Company.

(b) If any other Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any holder or holders of 51% or more in principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding may at any time at its or their option, by notice or notices to the Company, declare all the Notes then outstanding to be immediately due and payable.

If any Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and irrespective of whether any Notes have become or have been declared immediately due and payable under Section 12.1, the holder of any Note at the time outstanding may proceed to protect and enforce the rights of such holder by an action at law, suit in equity or other appropriate proceeding, whether for the specific performance of any agreement contained herein or in any Note, or for an injunction against a violation of any of the terms hereof or thereof, or in aid of the exercise of any power granted hereby or thereby or by law or otherwise.

Section 12.3. Rescission. At any time after any Notes have been declared due and payable pursuant to clause (b) or (c) of Section 12.1, the holders of not less than 55% in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, by written notice to the Company, may rescind and annul any such declaration and its consequences if (a) the Company has paid all overdue interest on the Notes, all principal of and Make-Whole Amount, if any, on any Notes that are due and payable and are unpaid other than by reason of such declaration, and all interest on such overdue principal and Make-Whole Amount, if any, and (to the extent permitted by applicable

-32-

Section 12.4. No Waivers or Election of Remedies, Expenses, Etc. No course of dealing and no delay on the part of any holder of any Note in exercising any right, power or remedy shall operate as a waiver thereof or otherwise prejudice such holder’s rights, powers or remedies. No right, power or remedy conferred by this Agreement or by any Note upon any holder thereof shall be exclusive of any other right, power or remedy referred to herein or therein or now or hereafter available at law, in equity, by statute or otherwise. Without limiting the obligations of the Company under Section 15, the Company will pay to the holder of each Note on demand such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover all costs and expenses of such holder incurred in any enforcement or collection under this Section 12, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, expenses and disbursements.

Section 13. Registration; Exchange; Substitution of Notes.

Section 13.1. Registration of Notes. The Company shall keep at its principal executive office a register for the registration and registration of transfers of Notes. The name and address of each holder of one or more Notes, each transfer thereof and the name and address of each transferee of one or more Notes shall be registered in such register. Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer, the Person in whose name any Note shall be registered shall be deemed and treated as the owner and holder thereof for all purposes hereof, and the Company shall not be affected by any notice or knowledge to the contrary. The Company shall give to any holder of a Note that is an Institutional Investor promptly upon request therefor, a complete and correct copy of the names and addresses of all registered holders of Notes.

Section 13.2. Transfer and Exchange of Notes. Upon surrender of any Note at the principal executive office of the Company for registration of transfer or exchange (and in the case of a surrender for registration of transfer, duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer duly executed by the registered holder of such Note or its attorney duly authorized in writing and accompanied by the address for notices of each transferee of such Note or part thereof), the Company shall execute and deliver, at the Company’s expense (except as provided below), one or more new Notes (as requested by the holder thereof) in exchange therefor, in an aggregate principal amount equal to the unpaid principal amount of the surrendered Note. Each such new Note shall be payable to such Person as such holder may request and shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit 1. Each such new Note shall be dated and bear interest from the date to which interest shall have been paid on the surrendered Note or dated the date of the surrendered Note if no interest shall have been paid thereon. The Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any stamp tax or governmental charge imposed in respect of any such transfer of Notes. Notes shall not be transferred in denominations of less than GBP 500,000; provided that if necessary to enable the registration of transfer by a holder of its entire holding of Notes, one Note may be in a denomination of less than GBP 1,000,000.

-33-

Section 13.3. Replacement of Notes. Upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the ownership of and the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any Note (which evidence shall be, in the case of an Institutional Investor, notice from such Institutional Investor of such ownership and such loss, theft, destruction or mutilation), and

(a) in the case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it (provided that if the holder of such Note is, or is a nominee for, an original Purchaser or another holder of a Note with a minimum net worth of at least GBP 50,000,000, such Person’s own unsecured agreement of indemnity shall be deemed to be satisfactory), or

(b) in the case of mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation thereof,

the Company at its own expense shall execute and deliver, in lieu thereof, a new Note, dated and bearing interest from the date to which interest shall have been paid on such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Note or dated the date of such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Note if no interest shall have been paid thereon.

Section 14. Payments on Notes.

Section 14.1. Place of Payment. Subject to Section 14.2, payments of principal, Make-Whole Amount, if any, and interest becoming due and payable on the Notes shall be made in Calgary, Canada at the principal office of the Company in such jurisdiction. The Company may at any time, by notice to each holder of a Note, change the place of payment of the Notes so long as such place of payment shall be either the principal office of the Company in such jurisdiction or the principal office of a bank or trust company in such jurisdiction.

Section 14.2. Home Office Payment. So long as you or your nominee shall be the holder of any Note, and notwithstanding anything contained in Section 14.1 or in such Note to the contrary, the Company will pay all sums becoming due on such Note for principal, Make-Whole Amount, if any, and interest by the method and at the address specified for such purpose below your name in Schedule A, or by such other method or at such other address as you shall have from time to time specified to the Company in writing for such purpose, without the presentation or surrender of such Note or the making of any notation thereon, except that upon written request of the Company made concurrently with or reasonably promptly after payment or prepayment in full of any Note, you shall surrender such Note for cancellation, reasonably promptly after any such request, to the Company at its principal executive office or at the place of payment most recently designated by the Company pursuant to Section 14.1. The Company will make such payments in immediately available funds, no later than 11:00 a.m. London, England time on the date due. If for any reason whatsoever the Company does not make any such payment by such 11:00 a.m. transmittal time, such payment shall be deemed to have been made on the next following Business Day and such payment shall bear interest at the Default Rate set forth in the Note. Prior to any sale or other disposition of any Note held by you or your nominee you will, at your election, either endorse thereon the amount of principal paid thereon and the last date to which interest has been paid thereon or surrender such Note to the Company in exchange for a new Note or Notes pursuant to Section 13.2. The Company will afford the benefits of this

-34-

Section 14.2 to any Institutional Investor that is the direct or indirect transferee of any Note purchased by you under this Agreement and that has made the same agreement relating to such Note as you have made in this Section 14.2.

Section 14.3. Payment Free and Clear of Taxes. (a) Each payment by the Company shall be made, under all circumstances, without setoff, counterclaim or reduction for, and free from and clear of, and without deduction for or because of, any and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, duties, fees, charges, deductions, withholding, restrictions or conditions of any nature whatsoever (hereinafter called “Relevant Taxes”) imposed, levied, collected, assessed, deducted or withheld by the Government of Canada or any Provincial or other political subdivision of Canada or by the government of any other country or jurisdiction or any authority therein or thereof (other than the United Kingdom or any other Approved Jurisdiction) from or through which payments hereunder or on or in respect of the Notes are actually made (each a “Taxing Jurisdiction”), unless such imposition, levy, collection, assessment, deduction, withholding or other restriction or condition is required by law. If the Company is required by law to make any payment under this Agreement subject to such deduction, withholding or other restriction or condition, then the Company shall forthwith (a) pay over to the government or taxing authority imposing such tax the full amount required to be deducted, withheld from or otherwise paid by the Company (including the full amount required to be deducted or withheld from or otherwise paid by the Company in respect of the Tax Indemnity Amounts (as defined below)), and (b) pay each holder of the Notes such additional amounts (“Tax Indemnity Amounts”) as may be necessary in order that the net amount of every payment made to each holder of Notes, after provision for payment of such Relevant Taxes (including any required deduction, withholding or other payment of tax on or with respect to such Tax Indemnity Amounts), shall be equal to the amount which such holder would have received had there been no imposition, levy, collection, assessment, deduction, withholding or other restriction or condition. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 14.3, no such Tax Indemnity Amounts shall be payable (i) to any holder of the Notes which is liable for any tax, assessment or other governmental charge by reason of it being or having been effectively connected to Canada for any reason or in any capacity other than solely as a holder of a Note, (ii) for or on account of any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that is imposed or withheld by reason of the failure of the holder to complete, execute and deliver to the Company any form or document within one hundred-twenty (120) days of a written request therefor by the Company to the extent applicable to such holder that may be required by law or by reason of administration of such law to avoid such Relevant Taxes and which is reasonably requested in writing to be delivered by the Company in order to enable the Company to make payments pursuant to this Section 14.3 without deduction or withholding for taxes, assessments or governmental charges, or with deduction or withholding of such lesser amount, or (iii) in the case where such holder is not a resident of an Approved Jurisdiction, the Company shall not be obligated to pay any such Tax Indemnity Amount to such holder in excess of the amount which the Company would have been obligated to pay hereunder if such holder were resident in the United Kingdom. If in connection with the payment of any such Tax Indemnity Amounts, any holder of the Notes that is a United Kingdom person within the meaning of the Inland Revenue tax code or a foreign person engaged in a trade or business within the United Kingdom or is a resident of an Approved Jurisdiction, incurs taxes imposed by the United Kingdom or any political subdivision or taxing authority therein or by any other Approved Jurisdiction (“Approved Jurisdiction Taxes”) on such Tax Indemnity Amounts, the

-35-

Company shall pay to such holder of the Notes such further amount as will insure that the net amount actually received by that holder of the Notes (taking into account any withholding or deduction in respect of any such further amount) is equal to the amount which such holder of the Notes would have received after all United Kingdom, or such other Approved Jurisdiction Taxes, as applicable, on such Tax Indemnity Amounts and on any further amount had such withholding or deduction not been made.

(b) If the Company makes payment of Tax Indemnity Amounts and a recipient thereof subsequently receives a cash refund in respect thereof from the governmental body to which the Relevant Taxes giving rise to the Tax Indemnity Amount were paid (a “Tax Refund”), and such recipient is able to identify the Tax Refund as being attributable to the Relevant Taxes with respect to which the Tax Indemnity Amounts are paid, then such recipient shall, to the extent that it can do so without prejudice to the retention of the amount of such Tax Refund or the right of such recipient to obtain any other relief or allowance available to it, reimburse the Company such amount as it shall determine to be the proportion of the Tax Refund as will leave such recipient, after the reimbursement, in no worse position than such recipient would have been in if payment of the Tax Indemnity Amounts had not been required. Such recipient may charge to the Company (and may deduct from amounts reimburseable to the Company hereunder) a fee reasonably determined by such recipient to compensate it for any additional effort expended or cost incurred in determining such credit or remission or allocating it to the Company. The foregoing notwithstanding, nothing in this Section 14.3 shall restrict the right of any recipient to arrange its tax affairs as it shall think fit or require any recipient to disclose any information regarding its tax affairs or any computation pursuant hereto which, in such recipient’s judgment, constitutes confidential information.

Section 15. Expenses, Etc.

Section 15.1. Transaction Expenses. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, the Company will pay all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees of a special counsel and, if reasonably required, local or other counsel) incurred by you and each Other Purchaser or holder of a Note in connection with such transactions and in connection with any amendments, waivers or consents under or in respect of this Agreement, the Notes, the Trust Guaranty or the Subordination Agreement (whether or not such amendment, waiver or consent becomes effective), including, without limitation: (a) the costs and expenses incurred in enforcing or defending (or determining whether or how to enforce or defend) any rights under this Agreement, the Notes, the Trust Guaranty or the Subordination Agreement, or in responding to any subpoena or other legal process or informal investigative demand issued in connection with this Agreement, the Notes, the Trust Guaranty or the Subordination Agreement, or by reason of being a holder of any Note, (b) the costs and expenses, including financial advisors’ fees, incurred in connection with the insolvency or bankruptcy of the Trust, the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary or in connection with any work-out or restructuring of the transactions contemplated hereby, by the Notes, by the Trust Guaranty or by the Subordination Agreement and (c) the fees and costs incurred in connection with the initial filing of this Agreement and all related documents and financial information and all subsequent annual and interim filings of documents and financial information related to this Agreement, with the Securities Valuation Office of the National Association of Insurance Commissioners or any

-36-

successor organizations succeeding to the authority thereof. The Company will pay, and will save you and each other holder of a Note harmless from, all claims in respect of any fees, costs or expenses, if any, of brokers and finders (other than those retained by you).

Section 15.2. Survival. The obligations of the Company under this Section 15 will survive the payment or transfer of any Note, the enforcement, amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, the Notes, the Trust Guaranty or any Subordination Agreement, and the termination of this Agreement.

Section 16. Survival of Representations and Warranties; Entire Agreement.

All representations and warranties contained herein shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Notes, the Trust Guaranty and the Subordination Agreement, the purchase or transfer by you of any Note or portion thereof or interest therein and the payment of any Note, and may be relied upon by any subsequent holder of a Note, regardless of any investigation made at any time by or on behalf of you or any other holder of a Note. All statements contained in any certificate or other instrument delivered by or on behalf of the Company pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed representations and warranties of the Company or the Trust, as the case may be, pursuant to this Agreement, the Trust Guaranty or the Subordination Agreement. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement, the Notes, the Trust Guaranty and the Subordination Agreement embody the entire agreement and understanding between you and the Company and supersede all prior agreements and understandings relating to the subject matter hereof.

Section 17. Amendment and Waiver.

Section 17.1. Requirements. This Agreement, the Notes, the Trust Guaranty and the Subordination Agreement may be amended, and the observance of any term hereof or of the Notes may be waived (either retroactively or prospectively), with (and only with) the written consent of the Company or the Trust, as the case may be, and the Required Holders, except that (a) no amendment or waiver of any of the provisions of Sections 1, 2.1, 3, 4, 5, 6 or 21 hereof, or any defined term (as it is used therein), will be effective as to you unless consented to by you in writing, and (b) no such amendment or waiver may, without the written consent of the holder of each Note at the time outstanding affected thereby, (i) subject to the provisions of Section 12 relating to acceleration or rescission, change the amount or time of any prepayment or payment of principal of, or reduce the rate or change the time of payment or method of computation of interest or of the Make-Whole Amount on, the Notes, (ii) change the percentage of the principal amount of the Notes the holders of which are required to consent to any such amendment or waiver, (iii) amend any of Sections 8, 11(a), 11(b), 12, 14.3, 17 or 20, or (iv) reduce or alter the scope of the Trust Guaranty or amend Sections 3, 8 or 12 thereof or release the Trust from liability under the Trust Guaranty.

Section 17.2. Solicitation of Holders of Notes.

(a) Solicitation. The Company will provide each holder of the Notes (irrespective of the amount of Notes then owned by it) with sufficient information, sufficiently far in advance of

-37-

the date a decision is required, to enable such holder to make an informed and considered decision with respect to any proposed amendment, waiver or consent in respect of any of the provisions hereof or of the Notes, the Trust Guaranty or the Subordination Agreement. The Company will deliver executed or true and correct copies of each amendment, waiver or consent effected pursuant to the provisions of this Section 17 to each holder of outstanding Notes promptly following the date on which it is executed and delivered by, or receives the consent or approval of, the requisite holders of Notes.

(b) Payment. The Company will not directly or indirectly pay or cause to be paid any remuneration, whether by way of supplemental or additional interest, fee or otherwise, or grant any security, to any holder of Notes as consideration for or as an inducement to the entering into by any holder of Notes of any waiver or amendment of any of the terms and provisions hereof or of the Trust Guaranty or the Subordination Agreement unless such remuneration is concurrently paid, or security is concurrently granted, on the same terms, ratably to the holders of the Notes then outstanding even if such holder did not consent to such waiver or amendment.

Section 17.3. Binding Effect, Etc. Any amendment or waiver consented to as provided in this Section 17 applies equally to all holders of Notes and is binding upon them and upon each future holder of any Note and upon the Company without regard to whether such Note has been marked to indicate such amendment or waiver. No such amendment or waiver will extend to or affect any obligation, covenant, agreement, Default or Event of Default not expressly amended or waived or impair any right consequent thereon. No course of dealing between the Company and the holder of any Note nor any delay in exercising any rights hereunder or under any Note, the Trust Guaranty or the Subordination Agreement shall operate as a waiver of any rights of any holder of such Note. As used herein, the term “this Agreement” and references thereto shall mean this Agreement as it may from time to time be amended or supplemented.

Section 17.4. Notes Held by Company, Etc. Solely for the purpose of determining whether the holders of the requisite percentage of the aggregate principal amount of Notes then outstanding approved or consented to any amendment, waiver or consent to be given under this Agreement, the Notes, the Trust Guaranty or the Subordination Agreement or have directed the taking of any action provided herein or in the Notes to be taken upon the direction of the holders of a specified percentage of the aggregate principal amount of Notes then outstanding, Notes directly or indirectly owned by the Company or any of its Affiliates shall be deemed not to be outstanding.

Section 18. Notices.

All notices and communications provided for hereunder shall be in writing and sent (a) by telefacsimile if the sender on the same day sends a confirming copy of such notice by a recognized overnight delivery service (charges prepaid), or (b) by registered or certified mail with return receipt requested (postage prepaid), or (c) by a recognized overnight delivery service (with charges prepaid). Any such notice must be sent:

-38-

(i) if to you or your nominee, to you or it at the address specified for such communications in Schedule A, or at such other address as you or it shall have specified to the Company in writing,

(ii) if to any other holder of any Note, to such holder at such address as such other holder shall have specified to the Company in writing,

(iii) if to the Company, to the Company at its address set forth at the beginning hereof to the attention of Chief Financial Officer, or at such other address as the Company shall have specified to the holder of each Note in writing, or

(iv) if to the Trust, to the Trust at BP Centre, 2900, 000 - 0xx Xxxxxx X.X., Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxx X0X 0X0 to the attention of Chief Financial Officer, or such other address as the Company shall have specified to the holder of each Note in writing.

Notices under this Section 18 will be deemed given only when actually received.

Section 19. Reproduction of Documents.

This Agreement, the Trust Guaranty and the Subordination Agreement and all documents relating thereto, including, without limitation, (a) consents, waivers and modifications that may hereafter be executed, (b) documents received by you at the Closing (except the Notes themselves), and (c) financial statements, certificates and other information previously or hereafter furnished to you, may be reproduced by you by any photographic, photostatic, microfilm, microcard, miniature photographic or other similar process and you may destroy any original document so reproduced. The Company agrees and stipulates that, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any such reproduction shall be admissible in evidence as the original itself in any judicial or administrative proceeding (whether or not the original is in existence and whether or not such reproduction was made by you in the regular course of business) and any enlargement, facsimile or further reproduction of such reproduction shall likewise be admissible in evidence. This Section 19 shall not prohibit the Company or any other holder of Notes from contesting any such reproduction to the same extent that it could contest the original, or from introducing evidence to demonstrate the inaccuracy of any such reproduction.

Section 20. Confidential Information.

For the purposes of this Section 20, “Confidential Information” means information delivered to you by or on behalf of the Trust or any of its Subsidiaries in connection with the transactions contemplated by or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement, the Trust Guaranty or the Subordination Agreement that is proprietary in nature and that was clearly marked or labeled or otherwise adequately identified when received by you as being confidential information of the Trust or any of its Subsidiaries; provided that such term does not include information that (a) was publicly known or otherwise known to you prior to the time of such disclosure, (b) subsequently becomes publicly known through no act or omission by you or any Person acting on your behalf, (c) otherwise becomes known to you other than through disclosure by the Trust or any of its Subsidiaries or (d) constitutes financial statements delivered to you under Section 7.1 that are

-39-

otherwise publicly available. You will maintain the confidentiality of such Confidential Information in accordance with procedures adopted by you in good faith to protect confidential information of third parties delivered to you; provided that you may deliver or disclose Confidential Information to (i) your directors, trustees, officers, employees, agents, attorneys and affiliates (to the extent such disclosure reasonably relates to the administration of the investment represented by your Notes), (ii) your financial advisors and other professional advisors who agree to hold confidential the Confidential Information substantially in accordance with the terms of this Section 20, (iii) any other holder of any Note, (iv) any Institutional Investor to which you sell or offer to sell such Note or any part thereof or any participation therein (if such Person has agreed in writing prior to its receipt of such Confidential Information to be bound by the provisions of this Section 20), (v) any Person from which you offer to purchase any security of the Company (if such Person has agreed in writing prior to its receipt of such Confidential Information to be bound by the provisions of this Section 20), (vi) any Canadian Federal or Provincial or United Kingdom regulatory authority having jurisdiction over you, (vii) the U.S. National Association of Insurance Commissioners or any similar organization, or any nationally recognized rating agency that requires access to information about your investment portfolio or (viii) any other Person to which such delivery or disclosure may be necessary or appropriate (w) to effect compliance with any law, rule, regulation or order applicable to you, (x) in response to any subpoena or other legal process, (y) in connection with any litigation to which you are a party or (z) if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to the extent you may reasonably determine such delivery and disclosure to be necessary or appropriate in the enforcement or for the protection of the rights and remedies under your Notes and this Agreement. Each holder of a Note, by its acceptance of a Note, will be deemed to have agreed to be bound by and to be entitled to the benefits of this Section 20 as though it were a party to this Agreement. On reasonable request by the Company in connection with the delivery to any holder of a Note of information required to be delivered to such holder under this Agreement or requested by such holder (other than a holder that is a party to this Agreement or its nominee), such holder will enter into an agreement with the Company embodying the provisions of this Section 20.

Section 21. Substitution of Purchaser.

You shall have the right to substitute any one of your Affiliates as the purchaser of the Notes that you have agreed to purchase hereunder, by written notice to the Company, which notice shall be signed by both you and such Affiliate, shall contain such Affiliate’s agreement to be bound by this Agreement and shall contain a confirmation by such Affiliate of the accuracy with respect to it of the representations set forth in Section 6. Upon receipt of such notice, wherever the word “you” is used in this Agreement (other than in this Section 21), such word shall be deemed to refer to such Affiliate in lieu of you. In the event that such Affiliate is so substituted as a purchaser hereunder and such Affiliate thereafter transfers to you all of the Notes then held by such Affiliate, upon receipt by the Company of notice of such transfer, wherever the word “you” is used in this Agreement (other than in this Section 21), such word shall no longer be deemed to refer to such Affiliate, but shall refer to you, and you shall have all the rights of an original holder of the Notes under this Agreement.

-40-

Section 22. Miscellaneous.

Section 22.1. Currency of Payments, Indemnification. Any payment made by the Company to any holder of the Notes or for the account of any such holder in respect of any amount payable by the Company hereunder or under the Notes shall be made in Pounds Sterling. Any amount received or recovered by such holder other than in Pounds Sterling (whether as a result of, or of the enforcement of, a judgment or order of any court, or in the liquidation or dissolution of the Company or otherwise) in respect of any such sum expressed to be due hereunder or under the Notes shall constitute a discharge of the Company only to the extent of the amount of Pounds Sterling which such holder is able, in accordance with normal banking procedures, to purchase with the amount so received or recovered in that other currency on the date of the receipt or recovery (or, if it is not practicable to make that purchase on such date, on the first date on which it is practicable to do so). If the amount of Pounds Sterling so purchased is less than the amount of Pounds Sterling expressed to be due hereunder or under the Notes, the Company shall indemnify such holder in Pounds Sterling against any loss sustained by such holder as a result, and in any event, the Company shall indemnify such holder against the cost of making any such purchase. These indemnities shall constitute a separate and independent obligation from the other obligations herein and in the Notes, shall give rise to a separate and independent cause of action, shall apply irrespective of any indulgence granted by any such holder, shall continue in full force and effect despite any judgment, order, claim or proof for a liquidated amount in respect of any such sum due hereunder and under any Note or any judgment or order and shall survive the payment of the Notes and the termination of this Agreement.

Section 22.2. Time. Time shall be of the essence of this Agreement. The mere lapse of the time provided for the Company to perform its obligations or the arrival of the term shall automatically create a default, without any notice being required.

Section 22.3. Maximum Rate. In no event shall any interest or fee to be paid hereunder or under a Note exceed the maximum rate permitted by Applicable Law. In the event any such interest rate or fee exceeds such maximum rate, such rate shall be adjusted downward to the highest rate (expressed as a percentage per annum) or fee that the parties could validly have agreed to by contract on the date hereof under Applicable Law. It is further agreed that any excess actually received by a holder of a Note shall be credited against the principal of the Notes (or, if the principal shall have been or would thereby be paid in full, the remaining amount shall be credited or paid to the Company).

Section 22.4. Accrual. All interest (including interest on overdue interest) payable by the Company hereunder and under the Notes shall accrue from day to day, computed as provided herein, and shall be payable after as well as before maturity, demand, default and judgment.

Section 22.5. Interest Act (Canada). Interest on the Notes shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. Solely for purposes of the Interest Act (Canada), the yearly rate of interest to which interest calculated for a period of less than one year on the basis of a year of 360 days consisting of twelve 30-day periods is equivalent is such rate of interest multiplied by a fraction of which (i) the numerator is the product of (A) the actual number of days in the year commencing on the first day of such period, multiplied by (B) the sum of (y) the

-41-

product of 30 multiplied by the number of complete months elapsed in such period and (z) the actual number of days elapsed in any incomplete month in such period; and (ii) the denominator is the product of (a) 360 multiplied by (b) the actual number of days in such period.

Section 22.6. Deemed Reinvestment. The theory of “deemed reinvestment” shall not apply to the computation of interest and no allowance, reduction or deduction shall be made for the deemed reinvestment of interest in respect of any payments. Calculation of interest shall be made using the nominal rate method, and not the effective rate method, of calculation.

Section 22.7. Judgment Interest. To the extent permitted by law, Section 6 of the Judgment Interest Act (Alberta) is hereby waived and shall not apply to this Agreement or the Notes.

Section 22.8. Successors and Assigns. All covenants and other agreements contained in this Agreement by or on behalf of any of the parties hereto bind and inure to the benefit of their respective successors and assigns (including, without limitation, any subsequent holder of a Note) whether so expressed or not.

Section 22.9. Payments Due on Non-Business Days. Anything in this Agreement or the Notes to the contrary notwithstanding, any payment of principal of or Make-Whole Amount or interest on any Note that is due on a date other than a Business Day shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day without including the additional days elapsed in the computation of the interest payable on such next succeeding Business Day.

Section 22.10. Severability. Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall (to the full extent permitted by law) not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

Section 22.11. Construction. Each covenant contained herein shall be construed (absent express provision to the contrary) as being independent of each other covenant contained herein, so that compliance with any one covenant shall not (absent such an express contrary provision) be deemed to excuse compliance with any other covenant. Where any provision herein refers to action to be taken by any Person, or which such Person is prohibited from taking, such provision shall be applicable whether such action is taken directly or indirectly by such Person.

Section 22.12. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original but all of which together shall constitute one instrument. Each counterpart may consist of a number of copies hereof, each signed by less than all, but together signed by all, of the parties hereto.

Section 22.13. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be construed and enforced in accordance with, and the rights of the parties shall be governed by, the law of the Province of Alberta and the laws of Canada applicable therein.

-42-

Section 22.14. Submission to Jurisdiction. The Company agrees that the courts of Alberta shall have jurisdiction to hear and determine any suit, action or proceeding and to settle any disputes which may arise out of or in connection with the aforesaid documents and it irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of such courts, without prejudice to the rights of any holder of a Note to take proceedings in any other jurisdictions, whether concurrently or not. The Company agrees that final judgment in any such suit, action or proceeding brought in such courts shall be conclusive and binding upon it and may be enforced against it in the courts of Canada (or any other courts to the jurisdiction of which it or its property is subject) by a suit upon such judgment, provided that it does not waive any right to appeal any such judgment, to seek any stay or otherwise to seek reconsideration or review of any such judgment.

For Value Received, the undersigned, Pengrowth Corporation (herein called the “Company”), a body corporate incorporated under the laws of the Province of Alberta, hereby promises to pay to , or registered assigns, the principal sum of Pounds Sterling on December 1, 2015, with interest (computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months) (a) on the unpaid balance thereof at the rate of 5.46% per annum from the date hereof, payable semiannually, on the first day of June and December in each year, commencing with the June or December next succeeding the date hereof, until the principal hereof shall have become due and payable, and (b) to the extent permitted by law on any overdue payment (including any overdue prepayment) of principal, any overdue payment of interest and any overdue payment of any Make-Whole Amount (as defined in the Note Purchase Agreements referred to below), payable semiannually as aforesaid (or, at the option of the registered holder hereof, on demand), at a rate per annum from time to time equal to the greater of (i) 7.46% or (ii) 2% over the rate of interest publicly announced by Barclays Bank PLC in London, England, as its “base” or “prime” rate.

Interest on this Note shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of 12 30-day months. Solely for purposes of the Interest Act (Canada), the yearly rate of interest to which interest calculated for a period of less than one year on the basis of a year of 360 days consisting of 12 30-day periods is equivalent is such rate of interest multiplied by a fraction of which (i) the numerator is the product of (A) the actual number of days in the year commencing on the first day of such period, multiplied by (B) the sum of (y) the product of 30 multiplied by the number of complete months elapsed in such period and (z) the actual number of days elapsed in any incomplete month in such period; and (ii) the denominator is the product of (a) 360 multiplied by (b) the actual number of days in such period. All interest payable by the Company hereunder shall accrue from day to day, computed as described herein and shall be payable after as well as before maturity, demand, default and judgement. The theory of “deemed reinvestment” shall not apply to the computation of interest hereunder and no allowance, reduction or deduction shall be made for the deemed reinvestment of interest in respect of any payments hereunder. Calculation of interest hereunder shall be made using the nominal rate method, and not the effective rate method, of calculation.

Payments of principal of, interest on and any Make-Whole Amount with respect to this Note are to be made in lawful money of the United Kingdom at London, England or at such
