Grounds for making this application:
The Receivership Proceedings
2. Effective November 29, 2018 (the Receivership Date), the Court of Queen’s Bench
of Alberta granted an order (the Receivership Order) appointing Hardie & Kelly as Receiver,
without security, of all of RIl’s current and future assets, undertakings and properties of every
nature and kind whatsoever, and wherever situate, including all proceeds thereof, accounts
receivable and intellectual property and patents related to enhanced oil recovery technology
known as Solvent Thermal Resources Innovations Process (referred to in the Second Report
as “STRIP” and “STRIP IP”), but excepting (I) the petroleum and natural gas properties
CAN_DMS: \128704880\2- 3 -
located in the Province of Saskatchewan (the PNG Property), (ii) any production revenues
derived from the PNG Property, and (iii) any office furniture and computer equipment used at
the Company’s offices in Alberta and Saskatchewan (the Property).
3. Prior to the Receivership Date, Ru had filed a Notice of Intention to File a Proposal
under the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act, RSC 1985, c B-3, as amended (the BIA). MNP
Ltd. (MNP) consented to act as trustee pursuant to the NOl. Ru failed to file a proposal or
seek an extension of time for filing a proposal. Accordingly, on November 18, 2019, the NOl
proceedings were terminated by the Court and Ru was deemed bankrupt, with MNP acting
as trustee of the estate. Espresso then sought and obtained the Receivership Order. As a
result of the specific properties exempted from the Receivership, the PNG Property remained
in the bankrupt estate administered by MNP and was subsequently disclaimed pursuant to a
Court Order.
4. This application is made by Hardie & Kelly solely in its capacity as Receiver.
5. Since the Receivership Date, the Receiver’s actions have included:
(a) taking possession and control of the Property;
(b) assuming control of certain books and records of the Company;
(c) preparing and issuing the Notice of Receiver and Manager and Receiver and
Manager’s Statement to the Trustee;
(d) notifying Canada Revenue Agency (the CRA) and Alberta Tax and Revenue
Administration (Alberta Tax) of the receivership; having the federal Scientific
Research and Experimental Development (SRED) refunds for taxation years
2016 and 2017 paid to the Receiver and obtaining an accounting and
reconciliation of same; and, with respect to provincial SRED refunds,
corresponding with the Company’s former management (Management) and
Alberta Tax regarding anticipated refunds for taxation years 2016 and 2017
(the Alberta Refunds);
(e) engaging independent counsel to conduct of a legal review of the available
intellectual property records and Espresso’s security documentation;
CAN_DMS: \128704880\2- 4 -
(f) assessing the claim advanced by the Saskatchewan Ministry of Energy and
Resources;
(g) obtaining Court approval of certain interim and final distributions (the
Distribution Order) and a sale process (the Sale Process Order, described
further below);
(h) making final distributions to the Saskatchewan Ministry of Energy and
Resources and Employment and Social Development Canada, and an interim
distribution to Espresso, pursuant to the terms of the Distribution Order; and
(i) marketing the Property, following up on expressions of interest in the Property,
and negotiating the purchase and sale of the Property.
6. On May 16, 2019, a sale process was approved by this Court (the Sale Process)
pursuant to the Sale Process Order. The Sale Process commenced immediately.
7. The Receiver and Lumie finalized the Lumie PSA on August 22, 2019, and the Lumie
PSA is anticipated to be executed shortly thereafter.
8. The Receiver has not received the anticipated Alberta Refunds from Alberta Tax.
The Lumie Transaction
9. The Receiver believes that approval of the Lumie PSA is in the best interests of all
stakeholders for the following reasons:
(a) The Receiver was authorized to market and sell the Property pursuant to
section 3(k) of the Receivership Order and the Sale Process Order.
(b) The Lumie PSA arose from the Sale Process conducted by the Receiver.
(c) The Receiver acted in good faith and with due diligence.
(d) The marketing process for the Property included both broad and targeted
marketing efforts. In particular, the Receiver caused a notice of the Sale
Process to be published in the Daily Oil Bulletin and the BOE Report, issued
press releases in Canada and the United States advising of the Sale Process,
CAN DMS: \128704880\2- 5 -
posted a notice of the Sale Process on the Receiver’s website and established
a virtual data room containing documentation relating to the Property. The
Receiver also sent targeted information to the parties identified by
Management as potentially interested purchasers.
(e) The Lumie PSA was negotiated in good faith and is commercially reasonable
in the circumstances.
(f) The Company’s fulcrum creditor, Espresso, is supportive of the Lumie
Transaction. Apart from the priority claims advanced by the Saskatchewan
Ministry of Energy and Resources and Employment and Social Development
Canada, which have been addressed, the Receiver has not identified any
other claims that rank in priority to Espresso.
Sealing Confidential Report
10. It is the view of the Receiver that the Lumie PSA, and the Receiver’s analysis of the
Lumie PSA, which includes a summary of the negotiations and offers with respect to the
Property, all as set out in the Confidential Report, are commercially sensitive and could
negatively impact the Sale Process if made public, particularly if the Lumie PSA does not
close. The Receiver therefore requests that the Confidential Report remain confidential until
three months after the discharge of the Receiver, assuming the contemplated sale to Lumie
is approved by this Court and closes.
Assignment and Distribution Order
11. Espresso is the Company’s first-secured creditor. The proposed assignment of the
Alberta Refunds and distribution to Espresso is just, appropriate and in the best interests of
the administration of the receivership estate.
Discharge of Receiver Upon Close of the Lumie PSA
12. The Receiver’s Statement of Receipts and Disbursements (the R&D) and
professional accounts are described in the Second Report and appendices attached thereto,
and include the following:
CAN_DMS: \128704880\2- 6 -
(a) the Receiver’s accounts through to June 30, 2019, as summarized in
Appendix “A” to the Second Report, copies of which can be made available to
the Court upon request;
(b) the Receiver’s counsel’s accounts through to June 30, 2019, as summarized
in Appendix “B” to the Second Report, copies of which can be made available
to the Court upon request; and
(c) the anticipated final accounts of each of the Receiver and its counsel, which
assume the Lumie Transaction is approved and the Receiver and its counsel
will not be required to undertake significant further action.
(together, the Professional Accounts)
13. In the Receiver’s view, the Professional Accounts are reasonable in the
circumstances. With regard to the Receiver’s accounts and anticipated final accounts, they
are consistent with the Receiver’s standard rates for similar engagements, and were
reasonably necessary given the duties, obligations, and powers of the Receiver as set out in
the Receivership Order, which included, but are not limited to, administering the Sale
Process, attending to matters associated with the Property, and liaising with MNP in respect
of various administrative matters. Further, the legal services rendered and set out in the
legal accounts and estimated final accounts include the significant effort required in
reviewing the records and documentation associated with the Property and Espresso’s
security, advising the Receiver throughout the Sale Process, drafting all necessary court and
transactional documentation, and addressing the priority claims asserted by the
Saskatchewan Ministry of Energy and Resources and Employment and Social Development
Canada.
14. The Receiver thus requests that this Court approve its R&D and Professional
Accounts, and approve the discharge of the Receiver following the closing of the Lumie PSA
and the Receiver filing a Receiver’s Certificate, subject to the provisions and stipulations in
the draft order attached hereto as Schedule “E”.
15. Such further and other grounds as counsel may advise and this Honourable Court
may permit.

RECITALS
A. Pursuant to an Order of the Honourable Justice fN.ane1B. E. C. Romaine of the Court
of Queen’s Bench of Alberta, Judicial District of Calgary (the Court) dated
[Date of Order]. [Name of Receiver]November 29. 2018, Hardie & Kelly Inc. was
appointed as the receiver and manaoer (the Receiver) of thcertain undertakings,
property and assets of [Debtor]R.l.l. North America Inc. (the :Debtorz).
B. Pursuant to an Order of the Court dated [Date], the Court approved the agreement of
purchase and sale and certain patent assignments made as of [Date of Agreement]
(the ISaIe AgreementL) between the Receiver and [Name of Purchaser] (the
Purchaser) and provided for the vesting in the Purchaser of the Debtor’s right, title
CAN_DMS: \128960054\2- 10 -
and interest in and to the Purchased Assets, which vesting is to be effective with
respect to the Purchased Assets upon the delivery by the Receiver to the Purchaser of
a certificate confirming (i) the payment by the Purchaser of the Purchase Price for the
Purchased Assets; (ii) that the conditions to Closing as set out in section • of the Sale
Agreement have been satisfied or waived by the Receiver and the Purchaser; and (iii)
the Transaction has been completed to the satisfaction of the Receiver.
C. Unless otherwise indicated herein, eap1atie4—terms with initial capitals have the
meanings set out in the Sale Agreement.
THE RECEIVER CERTIFIES the following:
1. The Purchaser (or its nominee) has paid and the Receiver has received the
Purchase Price for the Purchased Assets payable on the Closing Date pursuant to
the Sale Agreement;
2. The conditions to Closing as set out in section • of the Sale Agreement have been
satisfied or waived by the Receiver and the Purchaser (or its nominee); and
3. The Transaction has been completed to the satisfaction of the Receiver.

Ensure that there are no legal obstacles to the vesting of assets in a nominee (for examplecompetition and anti trust law). Should land be transferred and vested in a nominee, theRegistrar of Land Titles requires the Purchaser to complete a Certificate of Nomination (whichneeds to be signed under seal if the Purchaser is a corporation. If the Purchaser is anindividual, the signature needs to be witnessed with an affidavit of execution completed.)
Ensure that the application and supporting materials are served on all affected partiesincluding those whose interests will be vested off.
In some cases, notably where this Order may be relied upon for proceedings in the UnitedStates, a finding that the Transaction is commercially reasonable and in the best interests of theDebtor and its stakeholders may be necessary. Evidence should be filed to support such afinding. If supported by evidence, the following sentence could be added at the beginning ofparagraph 2; “The Transaction and Sale Agreement are commercially reasonable and in thebest interest of the Debtor and its stakeholders.”
This bracketed clause, paragraph ‘1(b) and the bracketed words at the end of paragraph 6 areincluded when the Purchased Assets include mineral interests in land.
To allow this Order to be free standing (and not require reference to the Court record and/orthe Sale Agreement), it may be preferable that the Purchased Assets be specifically describedin a Schedule B.
The ‘Claims’ being vested out may, in some cases, include ownership claims, whereownership is disputed and the dispute is brought to the attention of the Court. Such ownershipclaims may, in some cases, continue as against the net proceeds from sale of the claimedassets. In other cases, the ownership claimant may object to its ownership interest beingvested out of the claimed assets. For example, it not clear that vesting orders can vest outoverriding royalties or restrictive covenants which are interests in land. (In Third Eye CapitalCo. v DianorRosourcos Inc., 2018 ONCA 253 at paragraphs 108 130 the Ont. C.A. requestedfurther argument regarding whether an overriding royalty which is an interest in land maynevertheless be vested out.) Similarly, other claimed rights, titles or interests may potentially bevested out if the Court is advised what rights are being affected and the affected persons areserved. The Committee agrees with the view of the Ontario Committee that a non specificvesting out of “rights, titles and interests” is vague and therefore undesirable.
Paragraph ‘1(a) is included when the Purchased Assets include titled lands.Paragraph 1(b) is included when the Purchased Assets include mineral interests in land.The bracketed words in this paragraph are included when the Purchased Assets include
mineral interests in land.The Report should identify the disposition costs and any other costs which should be paid
from the gross sale proceeds, to arrive at “net proceeds”.Successor employer liability is governed by section 5 of the Employmont Standards Codo,
RSA 2000 c. E 9 as amended. Inclusion of the words “or by statute” in paragraph 9 ensures thatparagraph 9 does not purport to abrogate statutory successor employee liability.
Not all sale agreements require, nor do the terms of the Debtor’s possession of humanresources and payroll information always permit, disclosure and transfer of such information tothe Purchaser. If disclosure and transfer of such information to the Purchaser is not required orpermitted, then Section 10 of this Order should be deleted.
The terms of the Permitted Encumbrance and Sale Agreement should be reviewed todetermine whether an encumbrance also constitutes a charge against other assets not beingsold (in addition to the Purchased Assets.) In that circumstance, absent agreement of the
CAN_DMS: \128960054\2- 12 -
encumbrancer to the contrary, the Debtor may not be fully discharged so the encumbrancerdoes not lose its charge over the other assets it holds as security. Do not add the words “or theDebtor” to the end of paragraph 12 if an encumbrancer’s claim against the Debtor should bereserved.
