DOCUMENT ADDRESS FOR SERVICE AND CONTACT INFORMATION OF PARTY FILING THIS DOCUMENT

I, Michelle McQuade, of the City of Calgary, in the Province of Alberta, SWEAR/AFFIRM AND SAY THAT: 1. I am the General Manager, Health, Safety, Environment and Regula tory of Penn West Petroleum Ltd.("Penn West"). My responsibilities in this position include relating with regulatory authorities and First Nations, and as such I have person al knowledge of the facts and matters herein deposed to, except where stated to be based on information and belief, in which case I believe such matters to be true.

VVSLe8aR059614\00063\8322181v16

2 2. Penn West is a corporation registered in Alberta, and is engaged in the exploration, development and production of oil and gas in western Canada under the trade name Penn West Exploration. 3. Since November 27, 2013, there has been a roadblock of an access road used by Penn West to transport crews, material and equipment to a well pad site for the drilling of two wells at a surface site on lands described as 3-25-091-13W5 and 4-25-091-13W5 (collectively, "the 3-25 Wells"). This Affidavit is in support of an application to restrain the participants in the roadblock. Project and Consultation Background 4. Penn West currently is pursuing operations in and around the Sawn and Haig Lake areas of Alberta and has a plan to develop a number of locations consisting of sequential and integrated steps including well site construction, drilling and completion operations (the "Sawn Lake Program"). The Sawn Lake Program includes the 3-25 Wells. 5. The Lubicon Lake Cree is a group of First Nation people which assert aboriginal title and traditional lands in the Sawn and Haig Lake areas (the "Lubicon Cree"). In developing the Sawn Lake Program, Penn West engaged in consultation with the Lubicon Cree, including in regard to the 3-25 Wells in 2011. 6. As described in further detail below, there are currently two groups which claim to properly represent the collective interests of the Lubicon Cree. The first group is the "Lubicon Lake Nation", headed by Bernard Ominiyak. The second group is the federall y and provincially recognized "Lubicon Lake Band", headed by Chief Billy Joe Laboucan, and registered with Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development Canada. Reference in this Affidavit to the terms Lubicon Lake Nation ("LLN") and Lubicon Lake Band ("LLB")refer to the respective leadership groups described above. 7. I am advised by Chris Sillito, Senior Landman for Penn West and do verily believe that the LLN was consulted regarding the site of the 3-25 Wells, as well as the access road to be developed by Penn West for operating in the area. Attached as Exhibit "1" to my Affidavit is a letter dated March 10, 2011 from Alberta Sustainable Resource

WSLega1\059614\00063\8322181v16

3 Development, attaching a log setting out Penn West's consultation efforts to date and deeming such consultation to be adequate. 8. On April 4, 2011, Alberta Sustainable Resource Development ("ASRD") issued a License for an Access Road under License of Occupation No. 110648 ("LOC No. 110648"). Attached as Exhibit "2" to my Affidavit is a copy of LOC No. 110648. Penn West subsequently constructed an access road ("the Access Road") on the lands covered by the Licence. 9. On April 30, 2011, ASRD issued Mineral Surface Lease No. MSL 110673 to Penn West for the site of the 3-25 Wells. Attached as Exhibit "3" to my Affidavit is a copy of MSL 110673. 10. On July 27, 2012, Penn West wrote to the LLN advising of its intention to submit formal application to the ERCB for, amongst other things, the 3-25 Wells. Attached as Exhibit "4" to my Affidavit is a copy of the letter dated July 27, 2012 from Mr. Sillito to the LLN. 11. On August 3, 2012, Garrett Tomlinson on behalf of the LLN wrote to Penn West and forwarded a Notice of Objection. A copy of this correspondence is attached as Exhibit "5" to my Affidavit. 12. On September 19, 2012, Penn West submitted its application to the ERCB, including for the 3-25 Wells, by way of letter to the ERCB. A copy of the letter is attached as Exhibit "6" to my Affidavit. The LLN was copied with this correspondence. 13. Through much of 2012, Penn West communicated and met with representatives of the LLN, including Bernard Ominayak, on a number of occasions to discuss issues arising from the Sawn Lake Program. Attached as Exhibit "7" to this my Affidavit is a copy of Penn West's General Communication Chronology with the LLN that was submitted to the ERCB with its application. 14. Attached as Exhibit "8" and "9" to my Affidavit are copies of two letters dated September 14, 2012 from the ERCB to then Chief Bernard Ominayak reviewing the

WSLegal\059614\00063\8322181v1 6

4 objections submitted by Chief Bernard Ominayak with respect to the larger Sawn Lake Program, and advising of the ERCB's intention to issue licenses requested by Penn West. 15. Counsel for the LLN sent correspondence to Penn West dated September 20, 2012, to which Penn West responded on September 27, 2012. Copies of this correspondence are attached as Exhibit "10" and "11" to my Affidavit. 16. On January 30 and 31, 2013, the ERCB issued the well licenses for the 3-25 Wells ("the Licenses"). Attached as Exhibits "12" and "13" to this my Affidavit are copies of the Licenses. Attached as Exhibit "14" is a copy of the ERCB's letter dated January 30, 2013 to the LLN addressing the LLN objections to the licences including the 3-25 Wells. 17. Penn West also obtained well licenses from the ERCB for a number of other wells in relation to the Sawn Lake Program, including a well located at 14-25-091-13W5M (the "Well Licenses"). To my knowledge, no subsequent challenge to the issuance of the Licences or the Well Licenses was made to the ERCB or by way ofjudicial review.

18.

Lubicon Elections and New Chief 19. On February 25, 2013, the Government of Alberta notified industry proponents that, pursuant to an election on February 15, 2013, the governments of Alberta and Canada recognized the election of Billy Joe Laboucan as Chief of the LLB. The notice further advised that all active and ongoing consultation with the LLB should be directed to Wayne Auger, the consultation contact appointed by a resolution of Chief Laboucan and the LLB dated February 21, 2013. Attached as Exhibit "15" to this my Affidavit is a copy of an email dated February 25, 2013 from Nicole Braun, Team Lead, First Nations Consultation Approvals Unit, received by Penn West. 20. Since receiving notice of Chief Laboucan's election on February 25, 2013, Penn West has met with Mr. Auger, the recognized consultation contact, on a number of occasion s to engage in ongoing communication in respect of Penn West's proposed operations in the Sawn Lake Area, including the 3-25 Wells. Attached as Exhibit "16" to my Affidavi t is

VVSLega1\059614\00063\8322181v16

5 a list of First Nation Consultation Contacts issued by the Alberta Government confirming Mr. Auger as LLB contact as of February 22, 2013, and most recently as of November 7, 2013. 21. On April 2, 2013, Penn West received a letter signed by several members of the LLN including Bernard Ominayak as "Chief' of the LLN. The letter enclosing a "Notice to Industry Proponents" which advises, among other things, that: (a) (b) The LLN is represented by Bernard Ominayak as Chief; Any attempts to undermine, ignore, or otherwise subvert the laws and customs of the LLN will be understood as "acts of invasion" and that the LLN would "respond accordingly"; and Industry and industry proponents should continue to work with Bernard Ominayak's "Consultation Unit".

(c)

Attached as Exhibit "17" to this my Affidavit is a copy of a letter dated April 2, 2013, from Garrett Tomlinson to David Middleton, Executive Vice President of Penn West, enclosing a "Notice to Industry Proponents". 22. Notwithstanding that industry has been directed by Alberta to conduct formal consultations in with LLB under Chief Laboucan, Penn West has continued to communicate with Bernard Ominayak regarding inquiries, and has been prepared to meet with the LLN. 23. Between November 19 and November 25, 2013, Penn West and Bernard Ominayak communicated, including through correspondence. Attached as Exhibit "18" to my Affidavit is a copy of Bernard Ominayak's letter of November 25, 2013, as well as Penn West's letter of November 22, 2013 to which it responded. 24. Penn West was also provided with a "Notice" and "Order and Resolution" of "the Chief and Council of Lubicon Lake Nation", which are attached as Exhibits "19" and "20" respectively to my Affidavit. These documents allege that Penn West is trespassing and refer to an intention to enforce "Lubicon Lake Nation laws to their fullest extent". 25. As recently as November 25, 2013, I and other Penn West personnel met with Bernard Ominayak to discuss their concerns, which involved primarily Penn West's choice of

VVSLegaR059614\00063\8322181v16

6 contractors for the for the Sawn Lake Program as well as the leadership of the LLN. However, no resolution was achieved. During the meeting, I received a copy of a pamphlet entitled "Operation Frack Off! Penn West Trespass Against Lubicon", a copy of which is attached as Exhibit "21" to my Affidavit. Attached as Exhibit "22" to my Affidavit is a copy of a handwritten note signed by "Ladies of the Lubicon Lake Nation" which was provided to me at the November 25,2013 meeting. Roadblock Erected by Members of the LLN 26. of the Access Road in Northern Sunrise County ("the Roadblock"). I am advised by Kim Babb, a Penn West contractor in the area, that the individuals claim to be associat ed with Bernard Oininayak and the Lubicon Lake Nation, and are objecting to Penn West's activities in the area. These activities currently involve, among other things, the construction of a well pad site for the 3-25 Wells, approximately one kilometre south of the Roadblock. Attached as Exhibit "23" to my Affidavit is a map of the area on which I have circled the approximate location ofthe Roadblock. 27. On November 26, 2013, a press release was issued under the auspices of "Chief' Oininayak entitled "Lubicon Lake Nation Tells Penn West Petroleum to Frack Off!: Peaceful Occupation of Penn West Petroleum Site Begins" stating that the individuals at the Roadblock intend to remain until Penn West ceases operations. Attached as Exhibit "24" to this my Affidavit is a copy of the press release dated November 26, 2013, accessed from the LLN website on December 5, 2013. 28. I am further advised by Mr. Babb, and do verily believe that initially the participants in this Roadblock allowed traffic to pass at the urging of the RCMP. After November 27, however, traffic has been stopped by the Roadblock and access to the Penn West sites denied. Attached as Exhibit "25" to my Affidavit is a copy of a tweet entitled "#Lubicon build shelter across @PennWestEx access! Ingenuity + tenacity = #FrackOFF" dated On or about November 26, 2013, approximately 18 individuals blockaded a portion

29.

WSLega1\059614\00063\8322181v16

7 December 3, 2013 with picture of a shelter built at the Roadblock, accessed from the LLN Twitter page on December 5, 2013. 30. Attached as Exhibit "26" to my Affidavit are two photographs taken by Penn West security employee, Tom Clark. I am advised by Mr. Clark and do verily believe that the photographs were taken by him on December 4, 2013 at approximately 10:00 AM at the Roadblock, and show a structure and vehicles placed across the road by participants in the Roadblock. 31. I am advised by Peter McLelland, Penn West Manager, Special Operations & Risk Control, and do verily believe that he received information from Sgt. Brian D. Bohlken, Detachment Commander of the Peace Regional Detachment of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (the "RCMP"), that it is unlikely that the RCMP will be able to confirm the identities of the participants in the Roadblock, as those involved have been covering their license plates and providing either fake names or names in Cree that they refuse to spell. 32. The recognized authority for the Lubicon Lake Band, including Chief Billy Joe Laboucan, continue to support Penn West's activities in the Sawn and Haig Lake areas. Attached as Exhibit "27" to my Affidavit is a copy of a letter I received on November 19, 2013 concerning apprehended action by Bernard Ominayak and his associates. Further, I spoke to Chief Laboucan on December 2, 2013. Chief Laboucan advised, and I do verily believe, that he and his Council continue to oppose the Roadblock and any disruption to Penn West's activities in the Sawn Lake area. 33. On December 2, 2013, another press release was issued under the auspices of "Chief' Ominayak stating that the Roadblock, dubbed "Operation 'Frack Off: the Penn West Eviction", will remain in place until Penn West and the Government of Alberta agree to "respect the jurisdiction of the Government of the Lubicon Lake Nation over their lands". Attached as Exhibit "28" to this my Affidavit is a copy of the press release dated December 2, 2013, accessed from the LLN website on December 5, 2013.

WSLega1\059614\00063\8322181v16

8 34. I am advised by Jay McNeil, V.P. Sales of Trinidad Drilling ("Trinidad"), and do verily believe that on December 9, 2013 the LLN, through counsel, advised Trinidad, Penn West's drilling contractor at the site of a well in the Sawn Lake Program located at 14-25091-13W5M (approximately 1 km from the location of the Roadblock), that Trinidad was trespassing and requested that Trinidad immediately cease all drilling operations. 35. Following the erection of the Roadblock, Penn West also communicated with Alberta Environmental and Sustainable Resource Development (AESRD) and Alberta Energy Regulator (AER) to determine what steps those agencies may take to address the situation. As of the date of this Affidavit, neither AESRD nor AER have taken any formal steps to my knowledge to issue an order to remove the Roadblock. Access to Wells and Irreparable Harm Caused by Roadblocks 36. The Roadblock is on the Penn West access road under LOC No. 110648. The Roadblock impedes Penn West's ability to conduct and complete its operations at the site for the 3-25 Wells. The Roadblock has stopped Penn West's ability to transport crews and equipment on the Access Road to the 3-25 work site, causing delay in preparing the site for the upcoming drilling operations, completion operations and facility operations. 37. Penn West has taken all possible steps to minimize the impact of the Roadblock on the Sawn Lake Program, including modifying the schedule for the rigs and other aspects of the program. If the Roadblock does not end by December 16, 2013, it will result in delay or loss of production revenues and standby and other costs that are not readily capable of calculation. 38. I am further advised by Mr. Vandersalm that, because of the integrated nature of the overall Sawn Lake Program, delay in the 3-25 Wells will impact Penn West's ability to complete its plan to put four wells on stream by April 2014 breakup. 39. In addition, continuing roadblocks and a halt in the operations of Penn West at the Sawn Lake Program will cause irreparable harm and damage which cannot be readily estimated or calculated, or compensated for any court proceeding.

VVSLkgan059614\00063\8322181v16

9 39. In addition, continuing roadblocks and a halt in the operations of Penn West at the Sawn Lake Program will cause irreparable harm and damage which cannot be readily estimated or calculated, or compensated for any court proceeding. 40. In the event that the Court is prepared to grant interim injunctive relief to Penn West in the circumstances, Penn West has provided an undertaking as to damages should such damages be subsequently awarded by this Court in favour ofthe Defendants. I make this Affidavit in support of an application to prohibit and restrain the Defenda nts and other individuals from erecting or continuing roadblocks in and around the Sawn Haig Lake areas, and in particular on the Access Road.

Attached Is a Communication Chronology that captures key meetings and conversations with the Lublcon. Additionally, attached Is a copy of the Alberta Sustainable Resource Development Consultation (SRD)Logs and confirmation of completed consultation for the above noted locations. Background The Lublcon Lake Nation was consulted with for the above projects In early 2011, Subsequently, in March 2011 SRD Issued the Review of Consultation Adequacy (Approvals) based on Penn West's consultation activities. At that time, the Lublcon expressed no concerns with or objections to these projects, Additionally, project-specific Information Packages were provided to the Lublcon In July 2012 and the Lublcon submitted Objection Notice to Penn West on August 3, 2012. Disposition of the Application Penn West respecffully requests that the Energy Resources Conservation Board dismiss the outstanding concerns and/or objections of the Lublcon Lake Nation for the following reasons: Penn West has fulfilled its consultation obligations with the Lublcon Lake Nation as specified in the Alberta's Pirst Nations Consultation on Land Management and Resource Development, November 14, 2007(the Guidelines). The Guidelines state: "Although Proponents will be required to follow specific consultation procedures, Alberta remains responsible far ensuring that ../2 MIS'15 EX71117.7 ", pqArred to iir the Af1;(4,,rvit of, Siv e this \+0 \N A 17 2O a"

Page 2 of 2 performance of delegated consultation activities has been adequate. Alberta has the final decision-making authority In assessing the adequacy of consultation. Where approval is given to move forward with a proposed project, Alberta has deemed consultation to have been adequate." Alberta Sustainable Resource Development has confirmed the adequacy of our consultation efforts as per the attached Review of Consultation Adequacy letters (approvals). Project-specific Information Packages, compliant with the requirements of ERCB Directive 56, and survey plans were provided to the Lubicon in July 2012, yet to date we have been unable to solicit any project-specific concerns from the Lubicon, Please note, the surface locations for the wells are on Crown land and the associated Emergency Planning Zones are less than 200m. There are no residences within the emergency planning zones. With respect to Penn West's overall ongoing consultation with Lubicon Lake Nation, to date the Lubloon's primary concerns have been related to contractor/vendor Issues and economic development opportunities that are not specifically related to the proposed applications, Nonetheless, Penn West is committed to working with the Lubicon Lake Nation, To that end, Penn West extended an invitation to Mr. Garrett Tomlinson and Mr, Torn Day on behalf of the Lubicon to meet with us in Peace River in early September. This was clearly not intended to be another consultation meeting with Chief and Council and the community to fulfill SRD's requirements; rather Penn West proposed that this be a working-level meeting to focus ~~~~~~~~~ on project-specific concerns related to these and other pending ERCB license applications. Bruce Gladue from the ERCB was also Invited to potential meeting. As you will see from the attached correspondence, both parties are unable to come to an agreement on attendees, location or agenda, therefore Penn West remains unaware of any project-specific concerns that they may have with respect to the above noted applications, Penn West has made every reasonable effort to understand the objections that were submitted to the ERCB by Mr. Tomlinson on behalf of the Lublcon Lake Nation to determine if there are any outstanding Issues under the ERCB's jurisdiction. In the absence of any tangible, project-specific concems and with SRD's confirmation that Penn West's consultation was adequate and complete, Penn West respectfully requests that the Lublcon Lake Nation's objections be dismissed and the above referenced applications be approved at the Board's earliest convenience.

At a meeting on. September 14, 2012, the Energy Resources Conservation Board (ERCB/Board) considered the Lubicon Lake Nation's (the LLN) objection contained in letters dated May 29, 2013 (assumed to be misdated and should read 2012), June 1, 2012, and Tune 24, 2012. The Board has also considered the subject applications, survey plans, participant involvement information, the Alberta Sustainable Resource Development's (now Alberta Environment and Sustainable Resource Development) letters confirming the adequacy of consultation for the proposed pad sites dated April 13,2012, April 26, 2012, and May 22, 2012, and the response of Penn West Petroleum Ltd,(Penn West) to LLN's submissions,

Page 2

For the reasons that follow, the Board has determined that the LLN has not met the test to initiate a hearing of the subject applications under subsection 26(2) of the Energy Resources Conservation Act(ERCA), Under subsection 26(2) of the ERCA, the Board must hold a hearing of an application if it appears to the Board that its decision on that application may directly and adversely affect the rights of a person, The Court of Appeal of Alberta has indicated that to meet the test under subsection 26(2) two things must be established; (1) the claim, right or interest asserted by the person is known to law; and (2) that such right or interest may be directly and adversely affected by the application. This test ensures that if the LLN has legal rights or interests that may be directly and adversely affected by a Board decision, the LLN will be given an opportunity to present its concerns at a hearing before the ERCB, Who will make a decision on the application having regard to all evidence before it. The Board decides whether the test under subsection 26(2) is met on a case-by-case basis, taking into account the specific facts and circumstances of each application and any objections received. In its letters, submitted by Garrett Tomlinson, on behalf of the LLN, concerns were expressed with regard to impacts the proposed wells might have on LLN's aboriginal rights and traditional land use in the project area. The LLN notes that the area of the proposed pad sites is home to animals that continue to be hunted for food, income, and to some plants used for medicinal and ceremonial purposes by the LLN and the proposed project would, therefore, infringe upon the LLN's rights, Furthermore, the LLN expressed concerns that the access road and pad construction will have an impact on the local wetland areas near the 8-25 & 5-30 sites thereby, impacting the animals and medicinal plants, The LLN letters also included photographs that appear to depict animal tracks and medicinal plants found in the proposed project area, The LLN also expressed concern regarding signs located in the project area meant to warn citizens of the dangers presented by these sites, The LLN is of the view that these signs could cause concern to Lubicon citizens to such an extent that they attempt to exercise their rights to hunting, trapping and gathering in other areas, In its response letter dated July 20, 2012, Penn West stated that a review of Alberta Land Standing indicates that the lands under consideration are Crown lands and that it received the necessary letters from the Alberta Environment and Sustainable Resource Development (formerly Alberta Sustainable Resource Development) confirming the adequacy of its consultation for the project, Penn West acknowledged the presence of mammals in all of the areas in which it operates, however stated that it follows existing regulations and is diligent in minimizing its long-terra impacts upon the ecology, Regarding the Sty-sagi-was and other unidentified herbs referenced in the LLN letter, Penn West stated that the photographs appeared to be of High Bluebells found throughout Northern Alberta in the boreal forest that are not listed as endangered species. It further noted that there are no water bodies within 100 m of the pad site

Page 3 locations under consideration, and that Penn West will meet and exceed regulatory requirements for every construction project for industrial development With regards to the presence of signage on its sites, it stated that are intended to wam the public of potential dangers associated with industrial developments and it maintained that safety has and always will be Penn West's greatest priority. In deciding whether you or the LLN meet the test under subsection 26(2), the Board considered the following principles and facts, In the decision Dene Tha' First Nation v. Alberta (Energy and Utilities Board)2005 AB CA 68, the Court of Appeal of Alberta stated [14] It was argued before us that more recent case law on primafacie infringement of aboriginal or treaty rights changed things. But the Board still needed some facts to go on. It is not compelled by this legislation to order intervention and a hearing whenever anyone anywhere in Alberta merely asserts a possible aboriginal or treaty right, Some degree of location or connection between the work proposed and the right asserted is reasonable. What degree is a question of fact for the Board,(underlining added) The concerns outlined in LLN's submissions with respect to impacts on the traditional land use by the LLN members in the area of the proposed project are general in nature. They refer to the existence of certain animals, plants, and wetland areas as well as a concern over safety signage in or near the project area but do not provide information to indicate how the proposed wells might specifically and locally impact the LLN's members' use of or access to what are claimed as traditional lands so as to demonstrate a sufficient degree of location or connection between the activity proposed in the subject applications and the rights asserted. Based on the considerations above, the Board finds that approval of the proposed wells would not have a direct and adverse effect on LLN's rights to its traditional land use, Therefore, based on all the information before the Board and the fact that Penn West must comply with all applicable ERCB regulations for the drilling and operation of the proposed wells, it does not appear that the LLN members have rights or interests that may be directly and adversely affected by the approval of the subject applications, As a result, the LLN do not appear to have met the test to initiate a hearing of the applications pursuant to subsection 26(2) of the ERCA, Based on the above and following confirmation that the subject applications meet all applicable requirements, the Board intends to approve the applications and issue the well licences, The ERCA and ERCB Rules ofPractice (Rules) provide mechanisms for and outline the requirements applicable to review and appeal of decisions made by the ERCB. Please refer to sections 39, 40 and 41 of the ERCA and section 48 of the Rules.

laniater and Solicitor APPLICATIONS NO. 1739156 & 1739157(1 4 'OR1VLERLY 1731744 &1731748) (APPLICATIONS) APPLICATION BY PENN WEST PETROLEUM LTD.(PENN WEST) FOR AMENDMENTS TO TWO FACILITY LICENCES LOCATIONS: LSD 14.25-91-13W5M & 3.36-91-13W5M SAWN LAKE FIELD

At a meeting on September 14, 2012, the Energy Resources Conservation Board (ERCB/Board) considered the Lubicon Lake Nation's (the LLN) objection contained in letters dated June 1,. 2012 and June 22, 2012. The Board has also considered the Applications, process flow diagrams, participant involvement information, Alberta Sustainable Resource Development's (now Alberta Envirorunent and Sustainable Resource Development(AESRD)) letter confirming the adequacy of consultation for the Applications dated March 10, 2011, and the response of Penn West Petroleum Ltd,(Penn West) to LLN's submissions,

You will note the reference above to four ERCB application numbers, By way of explanation,
after your objection was submitted, but before the ERCB made a decision on the Applications, Penn West withdrew Applications No. 1731'744 & 1731748 in order to correct the application schedules. Penn West then resubmitted Applications No. 1739156 & 1739157 in replacement and your objection was linked to them, For the reasons that follow, the Board has decided that the LLN has not met the test under the Energy Resources Conservation Act(ERCA)that would entitle the LLN to a hearing of the Applications before the Board, Under subsection 26(2) of the Energy Resources Conservation Act(ERCA), the Board must hold a hearing of an application if it appears to the Board that its decision on that application may directly and adversely affect the rights of a person, The Court of Appeal of Alberta has indicated that to meet the test under subsection 26(2) two things must be established: (1) the claim, right or interest asserted by the person is known to law; and

Page 2 (2) that such right or interest may be directly and adversely affected by the application, This test ensures that if you have legal rights or interests that may be directly and adversely affected by a Board decision, you will be given an opportunity to present concerns at a hearing before the ERCB, who will make a decision on the application having regard to all evidence before it. The Board decides whether the test under subsection 26(2) is met on a case-by-case basis, taking into account the specific facts and circumstances of each application and any objections received, In its letters, submitted by Garrett Tomlinson, on behalf of the LLN, concerns were expressed with regard to impacts the proposed facility amendments might have on LLN's aboriginal rights and traditional land use in the project area, The LLN notes the sites are home to animals that continue to be hunted for food,income, medicinal and ceremonial purposes. The sites proposed at 14-25-91-13W5M and 3-36-91-13W5M have herbs and plants that are commonly used by the LLN community. Furthermore, the LLN expressed concern regarding signs located in the area of the project, stating that signs meant to warn citizens of the dangers presented by these sites could cause concern to Lubicon citizens to such an extent that they attempt to exercise their rights to hunting, trapping and gathering in other areas, The LLN letters further state the area of the proposed project is supportive of large mammal travel and that mammal tracks were noted in the iminediate vicinity of the existing lease, Also, bone and fur fragments from Lynx/Bobcat digestive processes were noted within close proximity from an apparent pool of contaminated water and a leaking chemical barrel was noted at the 14-25 lease site, which had no protective measures in place to prevent the substance from spilling directly onto the ground. Lastly, the LLN expressed concerns with noise emanating from the operating pumpjacks, stating they can be heard as far away as 300m, which has the effect of driving off wildlife in the area. In its response letter dated July 20, 2012, Penn West stated that a review of Alberta Land Standing has determined that the lands under consideration are Crown Lands and that it received the necessary letters from Alberta Environment and Sustainable Resource Development (formerly Alberta Sustainable Resource Development) confirming the adequacy of its consultation for the project, Penn West acknowledged the presence of mammals in all of the areas in which it operates, and stated that it follows existing regulations and is diligent in minimizing its long-term impacts upon the ecology. Regarding the Sty-sagi-was and other unidentified herbs referenced in the LLN letter, Penn West stated that the photographs appeared to be of High Bluebells found throughout Northern Alberta in the boreal forest that are not listed as endangered species. Penn West acknowledged a stain at the 14-25 lease and noted that it proactively reported it to the ERCB, Penn West continues to mitigate this stain under the ERCB's direction, Penn West noted that the presence of signage on its sites is intended to warn the public of potential dangers associated with industrial developments. It maintained that public, contractor and employee safety has and always will be Penn West's greatest priority.

Page 3 With regards to noise, Penn West stated it follows all established standards regarding pump jack operations and noise. It stated that it follows all protocols set out by the regulators. In deciding whether you or the LLN meet the test under subsection 26(2), the Board considered the following principles and facts. In the decision Dem Tha' First Nation v. Alberta (Energy and Utilities Board)2005 AB CA 68, the Court of Appeal of Alberta stated [14] It was argued before us that more, recent case law on prima facie infringement of aboriginal or treaty rights changed things. But the Board still needed some facts to go on. It is not compelled by this legislation to order intervention and a hearing whenever anyone anywhere in Alberta merely asserts a possible aboriginal or treaty right. Some degree of location or connection between the work proposed and the right asserted is reasonable. What degree is a question of fact for the Board,(underlining added) The Board notes that the applications in question pertain to.arnenclments to the license for existing and operating facilities that will not involve any new surface activity. The concerns outlined in LLN's submissions with respect to impacts on the traditional land use by the LLN members in the area of the existing facilities provide information regarding animals and plants that may be in the area, and observations of the surrounding area. They donot provide information on how the proposed changes to the facility licences might specifically and locally impact the LLN's members' use of or access to traditional lands so as to demonstrate a sufficient degree of location or connection between the activity proposed in the subject applications and the rights asserted. Based on the considerations above, the Board finds the approval of the proposed licence amendments would not have a direct and adverse effect on LLN's rights to its traditional land use, Based on the information before the Board and the fact that Penn West must comply with all applicable ERCB regulations for the operation of the facilities, it does not appear that the LLN members have rights or interests that may be directly and adversely affected by the approval of the subject applications. As a result, the LLN do not appear to have met the test to initiate a hearing of the applications pursuant to subsection 26(2) of the ERCA. Based on the above, and following confirmation that the subject applications meet all applicable requirements, the Board intends to approve the applications and issue the well licences, The Energy Resources Conservation Act(ERCA) and ERCB Rules ofPractice (Rules) provide mechanisms for and outline the requirements applicable to review and appeal of decisions made by the BRCB. Please refer to sections 39, 40 and 41 of the ERCA and section 48 of the Rules. If you have any questions, please contact David Miles, Applications Specialist, at 403-297-3582,

Proposed Projects of Penn West PetroleurnLtd. irr Lubicon Lake Cree Nation Traditional Lands

Dear Sirs: We act on behalf of the Lubicon Lake Nation and Chief Bernard Ominay ak. The Lubicon Lake Nation has aboriginal rights-and asserts jurisdiction over substan tial areas of land In northern Alberta containing in excess of 8,600 square miles, This includes all of the areas in and around Haig Lake, in which Penn West Petrol area eum Ltd. proposes to &ill wells, The Lubicon Lake Nation has never ceded any of its rights by treaty or otherwise. It has also enacted a law relating to its traditional territory, The full consent of the Lubicon Lake Nation is required in respect to all development projects in the Nation's traditional territory. The issue .of the rights of the Lubicon Lake Nation has been the object of serious controversy In Canada and internationally for over 70 years. In 1988, the Lubicon Lake Nation was a party to the Grimshaw Accord, which contemplated the setting aside of land in and around Haig Lake, as one of the three(3) Reserves for the Lubico n Lake Nation. The proposed drilling and other activities of your company will not only with the rights and jurisdiction of the Lubicon Lake Nation, but will seriously interfere jeopardize the use by the Lubicon Lake Nation and Its people of its traditional territory and cause irreparable damage to the Lubicon Lake Nation. We have been informed that the ERCB, by letter of September 14, 2012, purported to approve applications by Penn West Petroleum Ltd. for amendments has to facility licenses and licenses to drill ten crude oil wells In the Sawn Lake Field, two In the immediate area of the proposed Lubicon Reserve at Haig Lake.

Penn West Petroleum Lto, September 20, 2012 Page 2

Any such authorization of the ERCB remains subject to the full and direct consent of the Lublcon Lake Nation, which consent has not been given. The present is therefore to advise you that failing the authorization and consent of the Lubicon Lake Nation respecting any of the activities and projects of your company in the Nation's traditional territory and particularly the projects in and around Haig Lake, the Lubicon Lake Nation will vigorously oppose such activity, developments and projects and will avail itself of all legal recourses in order to prevent any such projects, Kindly govern yourselves accordingly.

Your letter dated September 20, 2012 to Penn West's Murray Nunns has been referred to me for reply. Please address all further correspondence With respect to these matters to me. Penn West recognizes that some of its activities occur on Lubicon's traditional lands, We are also mindful of the Crown's duty to consult(and accommodate, where appropriate) with Lubioon, and of Penn West's obligations to fulfill those Crown responsibilities to the extent that the Crown has delegated them to us. We believe that we have done so, both in regard to the ERCB applications referred to in your letter, and otherwise. Furthermore, we remain willing to continue discussions with Lubioon leadership or its members, either with regard to specific projects or more generally. Yours truly, PENN WES PETROL M.

At a meeting on January 30,2013, the Energy Resources Conservation Board (ERCB/Board) considered the Lubicon Lake Nation's(LLN)objection contained in your letters dated August 3, 2012. The Board has also considered the Applications and supporting documents. For the reasons that follow, the Board has determined that you have not met the test to initiate a hearing on the Applications under subsection 26(2) of the Energy Resources Conservation Act (ERCA). Under subsection 26(2) of the ERCA, the Board must hold a hearing of an application if it appears to the Board that its decision on that application may directly and adversely affect the rights of a person. The Court of Appeal of Alberta has indicated that to meet the test under subsection 26(2) two things must be established: (1) the claim, right or interest asserted by the person is known to law; and (2) that such right or interest may be directly and adversely affected by the application. This test ensures that if you have legal rights or interests that may be directly and adversely affected by a Board decision, you will be given an opportunity to present your concerns at a hearing before the ERCB, who will make a decision on the application having regard to all evidence before it.

Page 3 The Board decides whether the test under subsection 26(2) is met on a case -by-case basis, taking into account the specific facts and circumstances of each application and any objectio ns received. In the decision Dene 7'ha' First Nation v. Alberta (Energy and Utilities Board) 2005 ABCA 68, the Court of Appeal of Alberta stated [14] It was argued before us that more recent case law on primafacie infringement of aboriginal or treaty rights changed things, But the Board still needed some facts to go on. It is not compelled by this legislation to order intervention and a hearing whenever anyone anywhere in Alberta merely asserts a possible aboriginal or treaty right. Some degree 9f location or connection between the work proposed and the right asserted is reasonable, What degree is a question of fact for the Board.(underlining added) In your letters, you state that Penn West has failed to consult arid that the project may "raise specific concerns related to the Traditional Land Use by Lubicon citizens in the area the of proposed project". With regard to your statement that Penn West has failed to consult, the Board notes that Penn West responded directly to you in a letter dated August 24, 2012, In the letter, PennWest outlined its attempts to consult with the LLN, and provided a suggestion with respect to further meetings. It also submitted letters of Adequacy of Consultation from ASRD (now AESRD), dated December 15, 2010 and February 3, 2011, indicating that consultation for this project with the LLN is complete, The ERCB sent the LLN a Notice of Objection asking for further information on November 28, 2012, to which the Board did not receive a reply. Based on all the information before the Board, it does not appear that the LLN have rights or interests that may be directly and adversely affected by approval of the proposed project. Accordingly, the Board finds that LLN has not met the test to initiate a hearing of the Applications under subsection 26(2) of the ERCA, As such, following confirmation that the Applications meet the Board's regulatory requirements, the Board intends to approve the Applications and issue the licences. The Board Is aware that Penn West and the LLN have recently reached an agreement with respect to some of the applications in the area of this project. The Board is encouraged by this, and urges both parties to continue to meet. Please be advised that the Energy Resources Conservation Act(ERCA)and the ERCB Rules of Practice(Rules) provide mechanisms for and outline the requirements applicable to review and appeal of decisions made by the ERCB. Please refer to sections 39,40, and 41 of the ERCA and section 48 of the Rules. If you have any questions, please contact David Miles at 403-297-3582.

Resource Development within Lubicon Lake Nation Lands, Notice to Industry

Good day, The attached notice has been drafted for the benefit of resource companies intending to develop lands within Lubicon jurisdiction known as 'the Teardrop'. The government of the Lubicon Lake Nation has made extensive efforts to find mutually respectful ways to allow responsible development to occur on our lands despite the ongoing Jurisdictional concerns between Alberta, Canada and the Lubicon Lal<e Nation. The Chief, Council and Elders' Council of the Lubicon Lal<e Nation intend to continue these efforts to find mutually respectful and beneficial ways to develop Lubicon lands responsibly, However, as a result of actions by the Government of Canada to undermine the authority of the rightful Government of the Lublcon Lake Nation we are providing the following notice to industry in an effort to clarify the position of the Lubicon Lake Nation.

Regards,

Garrett Tomlinson, EMT Communications / Industry Liaison Emergency Services Coordinator CC: Hon. Robin Campbell Minister Aboriginal Relations, Alberta Frank Oberle MLA, Alberta Cole Pederson Executive Director Aboriginal Consultation, Alberta

The Lubicon Lake Nation: Is a Sovereign and self-determining Nation with our authority, autonomy and jurisdiction fully intact and operational.

Self-determination includes decision-making in all area of Lubicon Lake Nation life, This includes cultural, social, spiritual, governmental, legal and economic self-determination. Continues to exercise our sovereign authorities and self-determining powers over our land, territories and peoples, Our Nation has never ceded territory or authority for our Nation to a Canada or any other foreign jurisdiction nor acknowledged the jurisdiction of any other Nation, including Canada, to make decisions related to our territory, peoples or governance of the same. Has always followed our customary leadership and selection system. We have always acted In accordance with our custom related to recognition and acceptance of Lubicon Lake Nation peoples. Leadership was selected on June 25, 2009 and affirmed in accordance with our Custom leadership selection code on July 19, 2012. Provides notice that any other process that professes to be a Lubicon Lake Nation process is not supported by the Nation, fraudulent and rendered no results applicable to or binding on the Lubicon Lake Nation. Any other Individual(s) holding them out to be the leadership of the Lubicon Lake Nation do so without authority and without the support of the people of the Lubicon Lake Nation. Intends to persist In our pursuit of justice for the Lubicon Lake Nation, addressing the rumoured and illegal activities and conflict of interest which Canada formulated, perpetuated, accommodated, endorsed and/or acknowledged in international and other venues in order to address and seek redress for the illegal activities and conflict of interest.

And Whereby: The Government of Canada appears to be attempting to unlawfully forcibly apply foreign Jurisdictional authority, legislative standards, economic force and political pressure to the Lubicon Lake Nation; The Government of Canada continues to provide misinformation regarding the rightful governance of the Nation, including the housing of the portfolio for economic activities in our traditional territory; Our Government, including Chief and Council and our Elders' Council have been recognized by the Lubicon Lake Nation as the representative government for our people; and Our Government has responsibility for, among other things, economic development and consultation and accommodation related to our territoriality,

We Provide Notice That: The Lubicon Lal<e Nation as represented by our government: Chief Bernard Ominayak, the Council and Elders' Council of the Lubicon Lake Nation, continues to act as we have been mandated to do so by the people of the Lubicon Lake Nation; Our Sovereignty, self-determination, governance, and Customs (for example, customary leadership selection processes and authority for economic development) remain in place and authoritative in Lubicon Lal<e Nation territory; Our roles as protector of the land, advocates for our People and governmental portfolio holders for land, territoriality, economic development and consultation (among others) continue; We will continue to abide by our laws and customs as we have always done. This Includes our laws, customs and customs related to all areas of our governance (for example, our customary leadership selection process, customary recognition of Lublcon Lal<e Nation peoples, authority for economic development, and processes related to elections, appeals, etc.); We will understand attempts to undermine, ignore or otherwise subvert our laws and customs as acts of invasion and we will respond accordingly; Industry and industry proponents In Lublcon Lal<e Nation territory are expected to abide by Lubicon Lake Nation laws and customs; and Industry and Industry proponents continue to work with our Consultation Unit in developing mutually reciprocal relationships.

Lubicon Lake Nation Tells Penn West Petroleum to Frack Offl: Peaceful Occupation of Penn West Petroleum Site Begins
Little Buffalo, AB/ The Lubicon Lake Nation people have been driven to enforce their Law against PENN WEST PETROLEUM LTD.(TSX: PWT);(NYSE: PWE)today on an oil lease site located in their Territory by peacefully occupying a nearby access road, The oil and gas giant Penn West has indicated they intend to. drill and use hydraulic fracturing at the location. The site is at the headwaters of a nearby lake, bordered by the traditional Lubicon community of Kinosew Sakahikan referred to provincially as Haig Lake. Long-time Chief Bernard Ominayak said this evening: "We have never signed treaty, ceded our land, nor sold it to anybody, It's high time that all-resource companies operating on Lubicon Lake Nation lands, including Penn West, as well as the Provincial and Canadian governments respect that and stop destroying Lubicon land and stealing Lubicon resources." The Lubicon Lake Nation has not signed treaty with the Crown or any other foreign body at any time. As such, they remain the sole title holders and retain the Aboriginal rights to their land and resources and do not recognize the authority of the Province to issue any type of permits to Industry for the exploitation of Lubicon land. The Government of the Lubicon Lake Nation requires industry to obtain the free, prior and informed consent from the Nation prior to any environmentally harmful project moving forward. This hasn't happened in this case according to Chief Ominayak, Penn West has been repeatedly informed by the Nation that no foreign government, including any Canadian endorsed, illegal, Indlan Act formed government, will represent the Lubicon Lake Nation with regards to their lands. On November 18, 2013, a group of Lubicon Lake Nation people visited the Penn West jobsite to inquire about the presence of equipment and large number of Penn West personnel on location, as the Lubicon Lake Nation was not properly consulted and has not given their consent to Penn West, Initially, Penn West agreed to halt the work and attend a meeting on November 20, 2013, The following day the company called to cancel the meeting and restarted their illegal operations. As a result, the Government of Lubicon Lake Nation passed a Council Resolution and Order indicating that Penn West was trespassing on Lubicon land and had to vacate the territory immediately, This Order was issued in accordance with two Lubicon statutes that had been passed by the Government of the Lubicon Lake Nation in 1988 and 2012. The Government of the Lubicon Lake Nation is enforcing these laws as they would any other and expect the RCMP to join them to do the same. Following receipt of the Orders, on November 25, 2013, Penn West representatives met at the Lubicon Lake Nation Administration Office with Chief Ominayak, Council, Elders' Council representatives and a group of Lubicon Lake Nation citizens. Penn West refused to address the issues and presented a hardline position: They would not engage with the Lubicon Lake Nation government nor would they cease their operations. Lubicon citizens and representatives . 780)629.3939:Da P.0.Box 67,31,. (78.0 629.3945"Eu ( WWW,LU5 00NM ANZran ,NA rkt .AB

outlined yet again that they were being forced into third world living conditions, only to watch while oil and gas companies like Penn West extract billions of dollars in oil and gas from their lands. Forced into this difficult position, the people of the Lubicon Lake Nation have travelled one hour deep into their territory and indicate that they intend to remain at the location until Penn West ceases operations and takes their requests seriously, as Penn West's development is having real consequences on their health, wellbeing and lands of the Lubicon Lake Nation, including the air, water, soils and animal habitats.

Lubicon Lake Nation Sues PennWest Petroleum Ltd.(TSX: PWT); (NYSE: PWE)for Trespass and Destruction of Traditional Lands
Little Buffalo, AB/ The Government of the Lubicon Lake Nation has filed a lawsuit against oil and gas giant PENN WEST PETROLEUM LTD,(TSX: PWT);(NYSE: PWE)late Friday following a week of protest and enforcement of a trespass related eviction order by the Lubicon Lake Nation people at a Penn West site, The assembly has been dubbed: Operation "FrackOff: the Penn West Eviction, and began on Tuesday November 26. "The Lubicon people have sent a message loud and clear by assembling at the Penn West location to enforce our laws, now it's up to us as their government to support them in every way we can." Chief Bernard Ominayak said from his office this morning. The statement of claim argues that because the Government of Canada did not enter into Treaty with the Lubicon as required by Canadian law prior to developing oil and gas on Lubicon lands, the leases issued to Penn West by the province of Alberta are null and void. It goes further, stating that the development has caused irreparable harm to the Lubicon way of life, including hunting, fishing, trapping, their ability to travel in their lands, as well as their ability to use ground water and gather plants for medicines, The statement of claim indicates that Penn West has acted in "bad faith" in their dealings with the Lubicon Lake Nation and that the Lubicon are entitled to an immediate injunction restraining any further work from continuing until the issues are resolved. As for the people assembled at the Penn West site, despite heavy winter storms and below freezing temperatures, they have unanimously indicated that they won't be leaving until the company and the province agrees to respect the jurisdiction of the Government of the Lubicon Lake Nation over their lands.
