If at any time after the execution and delivery of this Agreement and prior to the termination of this Agreement and provided there is no unresolved material breach or non performance by Cona or any of the WEF Parties of any of its covenants, representations or warranties contained in this Agreement:

(a)

the Pengrowth Board:

(i)

(c)

the Pengrowth Board (or any committee thereof) accepts, recommends, approves, agrees to, endorses or enters into, or proposes publicly to accept, recommend, approve, agree to, endorse or enter into an agreement to implement a Superior Proposal;

(each of the above hereinafter referred to as a “Cona Damages Event”) provided no Pengrowth Damages Event has occurred, Pengrowth shall, in the event of the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1, pay to Cona the Cona Termination Fee, as liquidated damages, in immediately available funds, to an account designated by Cona, on the later of: (i) five Business Days after the occurrence of the first Cona Damages Event; and (ii) the date on which all Secured Indebtedness has been repaid in full, and after the occurrence of such Cona Damages Event, but prior to payment of Cona Termination Fee, Pengrowth shall be deemed to hold an amount equal to Cona Termination Fee in trust for Cona. Pengrowth shall only be obligated to pay one Cona Termination Fee pursuant to this Section 6.1. If for any reason the Cona Termination Fee is not paid five Business Days after the occurrence of the Cona Damages Event (including, for certainty, on account of the Secured Indebtedness being outstanding), and if a perfected and enforceable second lien demand debenture has not been issued to Cona in accordance with Section 2.11, the Cona Termination Fee will accrue interest at the rate of 25% per annum, payable in cash on the last day of each of Pengrowth's fiscal quarters thereafter and if not paid in cash on account of the Secured Indebtedness then being outstanding, will be added to the Cona Termination Fee and also accrue interest at the same 25% rate. For greater certainty, the Parties agree that Cona may file proof of claim with respect to the Cona Termination Fee in any creditor proceeding, file any necessary responsive or defensive pleadings in opposition to any motion, claim, adversary proceeding or other pleading made by any person objecting to or otherwise seeking the disallowance of the claim for the Cona Termination Fee or vote in any proposal or plan in any creditor proceeding.

6.2 Pengrowth Damages

(a)

Cona breaches any of its covenants made in Section 3.1(f) of this Agreement in a material manner; or

(b)

either Cona or the WEF Parties fails to complete the Arrangement prior to the Outside Date notwithstanding that each of the conditions contained in Sections 5.1 and 5.2 have been satisfied, or waived by Cona;

(each of the above hereinafter referred to as a “Pengrowth Damages Event”) provided no Cona Damages Event has occurred, Cona shall, in the event of the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1, pay to Pengrowth the Pengrowth Termination Fee, as liquidated damages, in immediately available funds, to an account designated by Pengrowth (or failing which, by bank draft), within five Business Days after the occurrence of the first Pengrowth Damages Event, and after the occurrence of such Pengrowth Damages Event, but prior to payment of the Pengrowth Termination Fee, Cona shall be deemed to hold in trust for

- 63 -

Pengrowth any amount owing to Pengrowth under this Section 6.2. Cona and the WEF Parties shall only be obligated to pay one Pengrowth Termination Fee pursuant to this Section 6.2.

6.3 Liquidated Damages and Specific Performance

Each of Cona, the WEF Parties and Pengrowth acknowledges that the payment of any amount set out in Section 6.1 and Section 6.2 is a payment of liquidated damages and represents a genuine pre-estimate of the damages that Cona or Pengrowth (as applicable) will suffer or incur as a result of the event giving rise to such damages and the resultant termination of this Agreement and is not a penalty. Each of Cona and Pengrowth irrevocably waives any right it may have to raise as a defence that any such liquidated damages payable by it are excessive or punitive. For greater certainty, Cona and Pengrowth agree that receipt of an amount pursuant to Section 6.1 and Section 6.2 is the sole monetary remedy of Cona or Pengrowth (as applicable) hereunder. Nothing in this Article 6 shall preclude Cona or Pengrowth from seeking and obtaining injunctive relief to restrain any breach or threatened breach of the covenants of the other Party set out in this Agreement, the Confidentiality Agreement or specific performance of any of such covenants of the other Party, without the necessity of posting bond or security in connection therewith.

ARTICLE 7

To the extent that amounts are so deducted or withheld, such deducted or withheld amounts shall be treated, for all purposes hereof, as having been paid to the Shareholders, Secured Debtholders and Incentiveholders, as applicable, in respect of

Article 5

DISSENT RIGHTS

5.1 Dissent Rights

Each registered holder of Shares shall have Dissent Rights with respect to the Arrangement in accordance with the Interim Order. A Dissenting Shareholder shall, at the Effective Time, cease to have any rights as a holder of Shares and shall only be entitled to be paid by Cona the fair value of such holder’s Shares net of all withholding or other taxes. A Dissenting Shareholder shall be deemed to have transferred the holder’s Shares to Cona at the Effective Time, notwithstanding the provisions of Section 191 of the ABCA. A Dissenting Shareholder who is, for any reason, not entitled to be paid the fair value of the holder’s Shares shall be deemed to have participated in the Arrangement on the same basis as a non-dissenting holder of Shares, notwithstanding the provisions of Section 191 of the ABCA. The fair value of the Shares held by a Dissenting Shareholder shall be determined as of the close of business on the last Business Day before the day on which the Arrangement Resolution is approved at the Shareholder Meeting. In no event shall Pengrowth or Cona be required to recognize any Dissenting Shareholder as a Voting Party of Pengrowth after the Effective Time and the names of such holders shall be removed from the register of holders of Shares as at the Effective Time. For greater certainty, in addition to any other restrictions in Section 191 of the ABCA, no Person who has voted in favour of the Arrangement shall be entitled to dissent with respect to the Arrangement. In addition, a Dissenting Shareholder may only exercise Dissent Rights in respect of all, and not less than all, of its Shares.
