AFFIDAVIT OF STEPHEN AUSTINSworn on April 21, 2016
I, STEPHEN AUSTIN, of the City of Calgary in the Province of Alberta, SWEAR AND SAY THAT:
1. I am the Chief Financial Officer of One Earth Oil & Gas Inc. (the "Applicant" or "One Earth") and
as such I have personal knowledge of the matters hereinafter deposed to except where stated to
be based upon information and belief, in which case I believe the same to be true.
2. On November 5, 2015 the Applicant filed a Notice of Intention to Make a Proposal (the "NOI")
under the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act R.S.C. 1985 c. B-3 ("BIA"). Hardie & Kelly Inc. (the
"NOI Trustee") was appointed as the proposal trustee.
3. On November 30, 2015 the Honourable Justice B.E.C. Romaine granted an Order pursuant to
s.50.4 of the BIA granting an extension of the period in which One Earth is required to file a
proposal to its creditors with the NOI Trustee to and including January 13, 2016.
4. By Orders dated January 11, 2016, February 24, 2016, and March 9, 2016, this Court granted
further extensions of the period of time in which to file a proposal up to and including March 24,
2016.

5. On March 24, 2016, One Earth filed its Proposal to creditors pursuant to the BIA with the NOI
Trustee. Attached and marked as Exhibit "A" to this my Affidavit is a copy of the Proposal (the
"Proposal").
6. The NOI Trustee scheduled a Meeting of Creditors to consider the Proposal which meeting was
held on April 14, 2016. Attached and marked as Exhibit "B" to this my Affidavit is a true copy of
the Report of the NOI Trustee to the Proposal without exhibits except for Appendix "B" (the
"Trustee's Report").
7 I attended the Meeting of Creditors held on April 14, 2016 and as stated in the Trustee's Report,
the Proposal was accepted by the required majority of creditors. The Voting Summary is shown
in Appendix "B" which is attached to the Trustee's Report (Exhibit "B").
Sale of Chipmunk Properties to Prosper Petroleum Ltd.
8. One key asset of One Earth is a 65% interest in leases, lands and wells in the area described as
the Chipmunk Properties which is located in North Western Alberta. These properties produce
heavy oil and were acquired by One Earth in January of 2015 from Murphy Oil. One Earth
acquired its interest in the Chipmunk Properties together with two other working interest owners,
Gift Lake Resource Development LP ("Gift Lake") and Prosper Petroleum Ltd. ("Prosper").
9. Because of the continued depressed commodity pricing levels, the Chipmunk Properties
substantially decreased in value since they were acquired.
10. In 2015 One Earth consulted with a well-known oil and gas marketing firm as to how best to
market the Chipmunk Properties. It followed the advice of the firm that the best manner of
marketing the properties was to inform potential buyers through word of mouth and to deal with
the other working interest owners. One Earth let it be known to potential purchasers that its
interest in the Chipmunk Properties were available for sale. No formal sales process was
undertaken because it was considered that the other working interest owners were the only
parties that would likely have a serious interest in acquiring an interest in One Earth's interest in
the Chipmunk Properties.
1 1. After extensive negotiations One Earth was able to reach an agreement with Prosper to sell 50%
of its interest in the Chipmunk Properties for a price of $875,000 payable with an initial payment
of $600,000 and a second payment of $275,000 that would only be payable if the price of West
Texas Intermediate Oil averaged US$53 per barrel for 30 consecutive days before March 31,
2017. Attached and marked as Exhibit "C" to this my Affidavit is a copy of the March 11, 2016
Offer from Prosper to One Earth to purchase the interest that One Earth owns in the Chipmunk
Properties (the "Prosper Agreement").
CAN: 21594085.1
-3-
12. One Earth engaged Sayer Energy Advisors ("Sayer"), a well-known and highly respected
marketer and valuator of oil and gas properties to review the terms of the sale of the One Earth
interest in the Chipmunk Properties to Prosper and to provide an opinion on the terms of the
Proposal and the transaction. Attached and marked as Exhibit "D" to this my Affidavit is a copy
of the March 24, 2016 opinion letter of Sayer. The Sayer's opinion letter was also attached to the
Trustee's Report to the Creditors.
13. It is noted that in reference to the Prosper Agreement, Sayer was of the opinion as stated on
page 1 of Exhibit "C" that: "Based on the current attributes of the Chipmunk property, the
Prosper offer is fair, from a financial point of view to the creditors of One Earth".
14. In my assessment, the Prosper Agreement is a fair and reasonable transaction and the purchase
price represents fair value to One Earth in the context of the current commodity price conditions.
15. I make this this Affidavit in support of an application approving the Prosper Agreement and the
transfer of one-half of the interests of One Earth in the Chipmunk Properties to Prosper free and
clear of all claims of the creditors of One Earth and in support of an application for approval of the
Proposal pursuant to section 58 of the BIA.

9. That we are also of the opinion that:
(a) the causes of the insolvency of the debtor are as follows:
As a result of the continued depressed slate of commodity pricing levels, the Company had been unable to satisfy all of
its obligations as they became due Including Its obligations under the Joint Venture Agreement. Consequently, several
of the Company's creditors commenced legal actions against One Earth. As a result, Management was forced to file
the NOI in order to be allowed the opportunity to pursue potential restructuring alternatives for the benefit of all of its
creditors
(b) the conduct of the debtor is subject to censure in the following respects:
N/A
(c) the following facts, mentioned in section 173 of the Act, may be proved against the debtor:
The assets of the bankrupt are not of a value equal to fifty cents on the dollar on the amount of the bankrupt's
unsecured liabilities.
10. That we are further of the opinion that the debtor's proposal is an advantageous one for the creditors, for the following
reasons:
As set out in the Report of Trustee on Proposal to creditors dated March 24, 2016, a copy of which is attached as
Exhibit "E", the proposal provides:
a. Creditors are anticipated to receive a minimum average dividend that Is equal to the best case scenario in
the event of the alternative scenario of a bankruptcy proceeding;b. In the Proposal scenario, Gift Lake Resource is making a significant concession which allows for a greater
distribution to the remaining unsecured creditors and any dispute with respect to the validity and
enforceability of Gift Lake Resources' purported security interest is avoided; and
c. The Proposal will provide for much more expeditious distributions to creditors than would he the case in a
bankruptcy proceeding
11. That we forwarded a copy of this report to the official receiver on this day.
Dated at the City of Calgary in the Province of Alberta, this 14th day of April 2016.

Dear Sirs:
This is Exhibit " " referred toin the Affidavit of
ffiet 0,1 Sworn befo e this a(Day of __ILL-- 6371.0 0 1
A Notary Public - Commiss r Oathsin and for the Province of Alberta
PETER S. JULL Q.C.Barrister and Solicitor
Sayer Energy Advisors ("Sayer", "we", "us" and "our") understands that One Earth Oil & Gas Inc.
("One Earth" or the "Company") intends to make a proposal to its creditors as per a Notice of
Intention to Make a Proposal under subsection 50.4 (1) of the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act
dated'November 5, 2015 (the "Proposal"). As part of the Proposal, One Earth intends to carry
out a transaction with Prosper Petroleum Ltd. ("Prosper") whereby Prosper shall purchase a
50% working interest in One Earth's Chipmunk property (the "Transaction") and the proceeds
from the Transaction will be paid to the creditors of One Earth. The above description is
summary in nature. The Transaction and the disbursement of proceeds will be more clearly
defined in the Proposal to be sent out by One Earth and Hardie & Kelly Inc. (the ''Trustee"). The
remaining 50% working interest of the Chipmunk property and the other assets of One Earth
shall remain in the Company. The Prosper offer for a 50% working interest would value 100% of
the Chipmunk Property at a range of $1.2 million to $1.75 million. Based on the current
attributes of the Chipmunk property, the Prosper offer is fair, from a financial point of view, to the
creditors of One Earth. The remaining oil and natural gas properties and other assets held by
One Earth have only a nominal value at the current time.
To assist One Earth in considering the terms of the Proposal and Transaction, One Earth
engaged Sayer to provide an opinion on the fairness of the Proposal and the Transaction (the
"Opinion") to the creditors of One Earth.
Engagement of Sayer
Sayer was engaged pursuant to an agreement dated March 7, 2016 (the "Engagement
Contract") to review and consider the terms of the Proposal and Transaction and if appropriate,
to deliver an opinion as to the fairness, from a financial point of view, of the Proposal and
Transaction to the creditors of One Earth.
Pursuant to the terms of the Engagement Contract, we have not been engaged to prepare (and
have not prepared) a formal valuation or appraisal of One Earth or of any of the assets, liabilities
or securities of One Earth, and this Opinion should not be construed as such. Sayer was
similarly not engaged to review any legal, tax or accounting aspects of the Proposal and
Transaction and has assumed for the purposes of this Opinion that the Proposal and
Transaction complies with applicable laws and accounting rules and does not result in any
adverse lax consequences to the creditors of One Earth. However, Sayer has performed
research, linancial analyses and testing of assumptions that it considered to be appropriate and
necessary in the circumstances to support the conclusions reached in this Opinion.
The Engagement Contract provides that One Earth will pay Sayer a fee upon the delivery of the
Opinion, regardless of whether the Proposal and Transaction are completed. In addition, the

One Earth Properties
The descriptions of the properties of One Earth described below have been provided to Sayer
by representatives of One Earth and Sayer has relied upon such descriptions without
independent verification or investigation and has assumed the accuracy of such information.
Chipmunk
One Earth holds a 65% working interest in a total of 76.75 sections of land and a 37.5% working
interest in 16 sections of land in Townships 80.82, Ranges 1 I -14W5 In the Chipmunk area of
Alberta. Some of the lands are on the Gift Lake Melis Settlement (the "Settlement') but currently
all of the production is off of the Settlement. During the three months ended December 31, 2015
the net operating income from the Chipmunk property averaged $9,511 on production of
approximately 80 barrels of oil per day. Production from the Chipmunk area in December 2015
averaged approximately 64 bblid but had a negative net operating income of $9,982. It is our
understanding that production associated with the property was recently shut-in as 11 had
become uneconomical to produce.

Gift Lake
One Earth has a 50% working interest in a total of 44.5 sections of land (which include the
Bluesky mineral rights) in the Gift Lake area of Alberta with proriuclion of approximately 17
barrels of oil per clay in December 2015. The net operating income from the properly during
December 2015 was $1,440. It is our understanding that production associated with the
property was recently shut-in as it had become uneconomical to produce.
Other Minor• Progenies
One Earth has non-producing properties located in the Carruthers area of Saskatchewan and in
the Chigwell, Taber, Parkland and Pembina areas of Alberta. There are a total of five non-
producing wells, of which one well in the Taber area Is operated. The only outstanding liability
that remains on the well at Taber is a surlace reclamation.
Assumptions and Limitations
We have assumed and relied upon but, with One Earth's acknowledgement and in accordance
with the terms of our engagement, have not independently verified the accuracy, completeness
and fair representation of any of the data, advice, opinions, materials, information,
representations, reports and discussion (collectively, the "Information") referred to above and
this Opinion is conditional upon such accuracy, completeness and lair representation. Our
assumptions, the procedures we adopted and tho conclusions and opinions reached by us are
dependent, in part, upon all such lads and Information. With respect to operating and financial
forecasts and budgets provided to us and relied upon in our analysis, we have assumed that
they have been reasonably prepared on bases reflecting the most reasonable assumptions,
estimates and judgments of One Earth, as appropriate, having regard to the plans, financial
condition and prospects of One Earth, as the case may be. In addition, a senior officer of One
Earth has made representations to us in certificates dated as of the date hereof that, among
other things, the Information provided to us on behalf of One Earth, Is complete and correct as
at the date the Information was provided to us acrd that, since the date of the Information, there
has been no material change, financial or otherwise, In the position of One Earth, and there has
been no change in any material fact which is of a nature as lo render the Information untrue or
misleading in any material respect. In addition, Sayer has also assumed the accuracy and
completeness of all documents and inlormation referred to herein relating to Prosper.
We believe that the analyses and factors considered in arriving at our Opinion must be
considered as a whole and are not necessarily amenable to partial analysis or summary
description. Selecting podiums of the analyses and the factors we considered, without
considering all factors and analyses together, could create a misleading view of the process
underlying the Opinion that we employed and the conclusions we reached in the Opinion.
Accordingly, this Opinion should be read in its entirety. In arriving at our opinion, in addition to
the facts and conclusions COalilled in the Inlormatioe, we have assumed, among other things,
the legality, validity and efficacy of the procedures being lollowed to implement the Proposal
and Transaction and we express no opinion on such procedures.
We have, with respect to all accounting, legal and lax matters relating to the Proposal and the
Transaction and the implementation thereof, relied on advice of accounting advisors and legal
and tax counsel to One Earth, including with respect to information disclosed in the Proposal,
and express no opinion thereon. The Proposal and Transaction are subject to a number of
conditions outside the control of One Earth and we have assumed all conditions precedent to

One Earth Oil & Gas Inc. March 24, 2016Page 6
the completion of the Proposal and Transaction can be satisfied in due course and all consents,
permissions, exemptions or orders of relevant regulatory authorities will be obtained, without
adverse conditions or qualifications. In rendering this Opinion, we express no view as to the
likelihood that the conditions respecting the Proposal and Transaction will be satisfied or waived
or that the Transaction will be implemented within the time frame indicated in the Proposal.
I n our analysis in connection with the preparation of the Opinion, we made numerous
assumptions which we believe to be reasonable with respect to the industry performance,
general business and economic conditions and other matters, many of which are beyond the
control of Sayer or One Earth. Sayer's conclusion as to the fairness, from a financial point of
view, of the consideration to be received by the creditors of One Earth in connection with the
Proposal and Transaction is based on its review of the Proposal taken as a whole, rather than
on any particular element of the Proposal. Further, Sayer considered the Proposal from the
perspective of all creditors generally and did not consider the specific circumstances of any
particular creditor.
The Opinion is rendered as of March 24, 2016 on the basis of securities markets, economic and
general business and financial conditions prevailing on that date and the condition and
prospects, financial and otherwise, of One Earth as they were reflected in the Information
provided to Sayer and as they were represented to Sayer in its discussions with a senior officer
of One Earth. Any changes therein may affect the Opinion and, although Sayer reserves the
right to change or withdraw the Opinion in such event, it disclaims any undertaking or obligation
to advise any person of any such change that may come to its attention, or to update the
Opinion after the date hereof.
While in the opinion of Sayer the assumptions used in preparing this Opinion are appropriate in
the circumstances, some or all of these assumptions may prove to be incorrect, which could
cause the Opinion given hereunder to change. This Opinion is given in accordance with and
subject to the terms and conditions of the Engagement Contract.
Conclusion
Based upon our analysis and subject to all of the foregoing assumptions and limitations and
such other matters as we have considered relevant, we are of the opinion that the Proposal and
Transaction are fair, from a financial point of view, to the creditors of One Earth.
Yours truly,
Sayer Energy Advisors
