except where stated to be based on information and belief, in which case I verily believe

the same to be true.

2. OGAC has been engaged by Argent Energy (US) Holdings Inc. ("Argent US") and

Argent Energy (Canada) Holdings Inc. ("Argent Canada") to assist in soliciting and

evaluating offers for a sale of (i) all of the equity interests of Argent US held by Argent

Canada; or (ii) some or all of Argent US's oil and gas properties. As is explained at

paragraph 143 of to the Affidavit of Sean Bovingdon filed February 17, 2016 (the

"Bovingdon Affidavit No. 1"), OGAC submitted a proposal to assist Argent US in that

regard, and OGAC's bid was selected through a competitive bid process. A copy of the

letter agreement between OGAC and Argent US is attached as Exhibit "21" to the

Bovingdon Affidavit No. 1,

3, Unless otherwise indicated, all capitalized terms herein are defined to have the same

meanings as they have in the Bovingdon AffidaVit No. 1.

OGAC

4. OGAC has been in the business of providing traditional and internet-enabled marketing

and technical assistance for the sale of oil and gas properties since 1993. OGAC is an oil

and gas acquisition and divestiture advisory firm in the U.S. with in-house technical expertise

that offers a complete line of negotiated transaction and auction services. As a premier

provider of oil and gas property marketing and advisory services in the U.S., OGAC has

handled negotiated sales of up to and over U.S.. $1 Billion; its clientele range from small

independent companies to Exxon Mobil. OGAC also provides negotiated transaction

services focused on the mid-market. All marketing and advisory services are supported by a

high level of reserve engineering, geo-science and land expertise. OGAC has had over

32,000 completed sale transactions in the oil and gas industry. Attached hereto as

Exhibit "1" is a true copy of a list of negotiated transactions involving OGAC since

2010, totaling US $2,408,482,228.00 in sales.

Personal Experience

5, In my role as CEO of OGAC, I am personally and directly involved in assisting Argent

US with its sale process. I have over 25 years' experience in the oil and gas asset and

divestiture business, having started my career in 1989, at the beginning of that industry,

as a Principal at Albrecht & Associates, an oil and gas divestment firm specializing in the

property market. During my tenure at Albrecht & Associates, I was responsible for

hundreds of transactions valued at billions of dollars, in every major basin in the U.S,

That experience includes involvement in asset sales processes in insolvency proceedings,

particularly in and around 2009. I also have experience in various positions in E&P

companies. I am a graduate of Harvard College (B.A., Economics) and of Massachusetts

Institute of Technology's Sloan School (M.S. degree). Attached hereto as Exhibit "2" is

a list of deals done by Albrecht (now known as Raymond James Albrecht) from 1987 to

February 2014 (the sale prices listed are in millions of US dollars). From the time

joined the firm in 1989, I was involved in every one of the deals listed after that date.

There are only five or six people in this business in North America with the length of

experience that I have.

6. I joined OGAC on April 13, 2015. Attached hereto as Exhibit "3" is a true copy of a

press release issued on April 14, 2015, announcing my appointment as CEO of OGAC.

Attached hereto as Exhibit "4" are true copies of pages from OGAC's website, at

www.ogclearinghouse.com, about OGAC and its services. I am confident that OGAC

and I have the knowledge and experience to assist Argent in maximizing value through

the Sale Solicitation Process that was approved by this Honourable Court in its Initial

Order granted on February 17, 2016.

Services Provided in relation to the Sale Solicitation Process

7. OGAC has provided and will provide the following services to assist Argent with the

Sale Solicitation Process:

(a) Undertaking a comprehensive analysis of Argent's assets, including analyzing

Argent's financial, engineering and geoscience data, with regard to making

recommendations regarding the most appropriate sale process;

(b) Assisting in determining the Sale Solicitation Process itself, with regard to

Argent's specific situation and circumstances;

(c) Marketing and generating exposure for Argent and its assets through OGAC's

website, email, other websites, publications, brochures, industry events and

catalogues, to precipitate interest and offers;

(d) Creating, hosting and managing a comprehensive virtual and physical data room;

(e) Gathering, organizing, cataloguing and presenting the data included in the data

prior to granting them access to the data room;

(j) Negotiating all bids with the assistance; and under the oversight of, the Monitor;

and

Progress of the Sale Solicitation Process

8. The Sale Solicitation Process has been well-received by potential bidders to date, The

marketing process began on February 11, 2016, The bid and sale process timeline and

milestones were specifically tailored and developed for Argent's asset base, and to take

advantage of current market conditions and the present lack of this quality of assets on

the market. The Sale Solicitation Process is designed to maximize and obtain the highest

and best offer for Argent's assets.

9. The Sale Solicitation Process was formulated and arrived at in conjunction with and in

consultation with Argent, the Monitor, the Syndicate, and the various legal and financial

advisors to those parties. The Interim Financing obtained by Argent supports and is

consistent with the timelines in the Sale Solicitation Process developed and

recommended by OGAC and Argent, which, in my view, are reasonable and appropriate.

10. On February 17, 2016, OGAC distributed an. email marketing flyer regarding Argent to

over 12,000 potentially interested parties in OGAC's database. Attached hereto as

Exhibit "5" is a true copy of the marketing flyer.

11, On February 10 and 11, 2016, OGAC presented a booth at the North American Prospect

Expo ("NAPE"), a premier industry event attended by over 11,000 energy industry

professionals. The booth featured a poster of the marketing flyer and copies of the

marketing flyer were distributed. OGAC personnel and I discussed Argent with potential

interested parties,

12. On or about February 23, 2016, a notice of the Sale Solicitation Process was published in

the Daily Oil Bulletin. A notice of the Sale Solicitation Process will also be published in

the Houston Chronicle on February 29, 2016. A true copy of the notice in the Daily Oil

Bulletin and confirmation of payment for the notice in the Houston Chronicle are

attached hereto as Exhibit "6" and "7", respectively.

13. The staff at Argent presented OGAC with a robust and well organized data set to support

the marketing of the assets. Our staff has reviewed the data and our complete evaluation

was made available to participants in the process on February 17, 2016. The information

available in the Virtual Data Room (the "VDR") is sufficient to allow participants to

provide a bid and binding letter of intent in accordance with the Sale Solicitation Process,

Physical Data Room visits may be scheduled by interested parties if requested.

14. As at February 26, 2016, OGAC had made significant progress in marketing Argent US

and its assets:

WSLEC1ALA068859\00014R13219285v4

- 6 -

(a) Over 80 potential bidders have signed confidentiality agreements, so as to allow

them to participate in the Sale Solicitation Process;

(b) Over 70 potential bidders have visited the virtual data room created for the Sale •

Solicitation Process;

(0) 11 potential bidders have received or requested data room presentations (at which

OGAC engineers and geologists will take the potential bidder through the data to

explain the assets and the potential value).

15, The present level of interest is a strong indicator of a robust and appropriate sales

process. In my view, the response to the Sale Solicitation Process to date is within the

top ten percent of deals that I have been involved with, in terms of participant activity at

this stage of the process. The timelines in the Sale Solicitation Process are appropriate,

are within the bounds of a normal process, and are bolstered by the current market

conditions where at present, there is a lack of quality oil and gas assets available on the

market.

16. The sale methodology that is customarily used for oil and gas asset sales in insolvency

proceedings in the U.S. (which has resulted in few bids and disappointing results of late)

is almost never used outside of insolvency. During my 25 years in the business, I have

never encountered a situation where a seller that was not involved in insolvency

proceedings has asked me to follow the sale methodology customarily used in insolvency

proceedings in the U.S. It is for that reason that OGAC worked with Argent and the

Monitor to create a process specifically tailored to Argent's situation, along the lines of a

typical asset sale that would attract more participants and offers, rather than using the

typical insolvency process to sell assets. A number of participants in the Sale Solicitation

Process have commented to me that if this sale process had been run in the manner of a

typical insolvency process, they would not be participating. As a result of the fact that

OGAC, Argent and the Monitor have worked to find a process that is most suitable for

Argent, there has been strong interest in the process. The use of the negotiated bid and

sale process is customary for potential buyers, eliminates the confusion and uncertainty

from an open auction process, and is designed to avoid the disappointing sales results

recently experienced in certain oil and gas insolvency cases.

17. Based on my extensive experience and expertise in the oil and gas asset and divestiture

industry, I remain confident that the Sale Solicitation Process (including the timelines

incorporated in that process) is reasonable and appropriate, and will allow Argent to

maximize value through a sale of its shares or assets. The progress to date and the fact

that no potential bidder has raised any concerns with the Sale Solicitation Process

(including the timelines incorporated in that process) is good evidence that the process is

working and is a reasonable process in the circumstances. With respect to the timelines,

the usual process (outside of bankruptcy or insolvency) for bidders to conduct their due

diligence and put forth bids is approximately fOur weeks, As such, and in consideration

of the robust response to the Sale Solicitation Process to date, I am confident that the bid

deadline of March 17, 2016 set out in .the Sale Solicitation Process (which is

approximately four weeks from the commencement of that process) is reasonable and

appropriate, The Sale Solicitation Process is ongoing, and should be maintained on

schedule to avoid disruption. I believe that disruption of the Sale Solicitation Process at

this stage is likely to have a significant chilling effect on potential buyers.

I. CONCLUSION

18. I swear this Affidavit in support of an Application for an extension of the stay of

proceedings, and for no other or improper purpose.
