RECEIVER'S THIRD REPORT TO COURT February 22, 2016 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 On October 14, 2015, pursuant to an order of the Court of Queen’s Bench of Alberta (the “Court” or “Canadian Court”), PricewaterhouseCoopers Inc. (“PwC”) was appointed as receiver (in such capacity, the “Receiver”), without security, of all of the current and future assets, undertakings and properties of every nature and kind whatsoever, and wherever situate including all proceeds thereof of Enseco Energy Services Corp. (“Enseco Canada”) pursuant to section 243(1) of the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act, R.S.C. 1985, c. B-3 (“BIA”). 1.2 Subsequently, on October 21, 2015, PwC was appointed Receiver of Enseco Energy Services USA Corp. (“Enseco USA”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Enseco Canada operating in the United States (“U.S.”). The Enseco Canada and Enseco USA receivership proceedings were consolidated under an Amended and Restated Receivership Order (the “Receivership Order”). 1.3 Following the commencement of the Receivership proceedings in Canada, the Receiver sought provisional relief from the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Colorado (the "U.S. Court") pursuant to Chapter 15 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (“Chapter 15”). On November 3, 2015 a Preliminary Injunction Order was granted against any person or entity from commencing or continuing any legal proceeding against the Company. 1.4 A final hearing was held on November 30, 2015 for recognition of the Canadian proceeding as the Foreign Main Proceeding, pursuant to Chapter 15, and the U.S. Court granted Recognition Orders for Enseco Canada and Enseco USA. 1.5 Enseco Canada and Enseco USA are collectively referred to herein as “Enseco” or the “Company”, unless otherwise stated. 1.6 On December 21, 2015 the Receiver assigned Enseco Canada into bankruptcy pursuant to paragraph 3 (s) of the Receivership Order and PwC was named Trustee of the Estate. 1.7 HSBC Bank Canada (“HSBC”) is the Company’s major secured lender, holding a general security agreement over all of Company’s present and after acquired personal in Canada and the U.S. 2 ENSECO ENERGY SERVICES CORP. AND ENSECO ENERGY SERVICES USA CORP. RECEIVER'S THIRD REPORT TO COURT February 22, 2016 2. 1.8 HSBC is the plaintiff in these proceedings and we understand based on the materials filed in these proceedings that HSBC is owed approximately $16.4 million. 1.9 This is the Receiver’s Third Report to the Court. The purpose of this report is to inform the Court of the failure of TechMaster Oil Tools Inc. (“TechMaster”) to close on the sale of the Leduc drilling and MWD assets (Lot 2) (the “Leduc Assets”), such sale having been approved by the Court on January 12, 2016, and to seek an order approving an auction of the Leduc Assets by Century Services Corp. (“Century”). 1.10 In accordance with industry practice, except as described in this Third Report, the Receiver has not audited, reviewed or otherwise attempted to verify the accuracy or completeness of the information in a manner that would comply with Generally Accepted Assurance Standards pursuant to the Canadian Institute of Chartered Accountants Handbook. 1.11 The Receiver reserves the right to refine or amend its comments and findings as further information is obtained or brought to its attention subsequent to the date of this Third Report. Unless otherwise stated, all monetary amounts noted herein are expressed in Canadian dollars. STATUS OF THE SALE OF ENSECO’S ASSETS AND TECHMASTER’S FAILURE TO CLOSE ON ITS OFFER ON THE LEDUC ASSETS 2.1 As described in the Receiver’s Second Report dated December 21, 2015, the Receiver sought approval of offers received on the sale of Enseco’s assets from 1st Rate Energy Services Inc. (“1st Rate”) for the Grande Prairie/Red Deer production assets (Lot 1); TechMaster for the Leduc Assets; and, Tiger Capital Group LLC (“Tiger”) for the U.S. assets (Lots 3 and 4). 2.2 On January 12, 2016 the Canadian Court approved the sale of the Enseco assets to 1st Rate, TechMaster and Tiger. Subsequently, on or about January 22, 2016 the U.S. Court approved the sale of the Enseco assets to the above noted parties. The Receiver’s legal counsel at both the Canadian and U.S. applications advised the Court of its concerns over the ability of TechMaster to close on its offer. 2.3 The Receiver confirms that 1st Rate and Tiger closed on their offers on or about January 27, 2016 with the balance of their respective purchase prices having been remitted to the Receiver; however, TechMaster has failed to close in a reasonable time period. 3 ENSECO ENERGY SERVICES CORP. AND ENSECO ENERGY SERVICES USA CORP. RECEIVER'S THIRD REPORT TO COURT February 22, 2016 TechMaster advised that it was having difficulty securing funding for the purchase price. The Receiver advises that TechMaster’s offer was unconditional. 2.4 The Receiver notes the following with respect to TechMaster: 2.4.1 On December 9, 2015, TechMaster provided the Receiver with a cheque for the 15% deposit which accompanied TechMaster’s offer for the Leduc Assets. That cheque bounced. Pursuant to the terms and conditions of sale, offerors were to provide their 15% deposit by way of certified cheque, bank draft or wire; 2.4.2 The Receiver pursued TechMaster for a replacement, certified cheque; however, TechMaster advised that its partner, who was to provide the funding for its offer, was in financial difficulty. TechMaster advised that they were in the process of securing alternate funding from another source; 2.4.3 The Receiver proceeded to seek court approval for the TechMaster offer on January 12, 2016 and advised TechMaster that it would provide TechMaster until the end of January to come up with the 15% deposit and, upon receipt, would consider allowing TechMaster additional time to close the deal, failing which the Receiver would proceed to realize on the assets by other means; 2.4.4 On February 1, 2016, the Receiver was contacted by a representative of Promerita Group who advised they were handling the financing of the Leduc transaction on behalf of TechMaster and offered to pay 50% of the Leduc purchase price with the balance being paid over a 6 to 9 month period. The Receiver declined this offer. 2.4.5 On February 11, 2016, TechMaster advised they had come to an agreement with a company named KCR Fund (“KCR”) for the financing of the Leduc purchase price. On February 13, 2016 a letter on KCR letterhead was provided to the Receiver by TechMaster advising of KCR’s intention to fund the Leduc transaction. 2.4.6 On February 13, 2016, the Receiver formally advised TechMaster that TechMaster had failed to comply with the terms and conditions of sale and that the Receiver was proceeding to realize on the Leduc Assets. 2.4.7 Attached as Appendix “A” is a copy of various email correspondence between the Receiver and TechMaster since December 2015. In addition, attached as 4 ENSECO ENERGY SERVICES CORP. AND ENSECO ENERGY SERVICES USA CORP. RECEIVER'S THIRD REPORT TO COURT February 22, 2016 Appendix “B” is a copy of KCR’s letter along with the Receiver’s February 13, 2016 letter and email sent to TechMaster. 3. 2.5 In early January 2016 the Receiver approached Century and Tiger to seek auction proposals for the Leduc Assets as the Receiver had serious concerns that TechMaster would be unable to close. Both Century and Tiger subsequently provided the Receiver with auction proposals. 2.6 In addition, the Receiver approached a number of parties who were initially interested in the Leduc Assets, but who had not submitted offers. Each party advised that they were interested in some of the Leduc Assets but were not prepared to offer on all Leduc Assets. 2.7 After the issuance of the February 13, 2016 letter to TechMaster, on February 17, 2016 (and with the concurrence of HSBC) the Receiver executed Century’s auction proposal as the Receiver and HSBC were of the view that the Century proposal would likely yield higher recoveries than the Tiger proposal. Attached as Appendix “C” is a signed copy of Century’s auction proposal. 2.8 The general terms of Century’s auction proposal are as follows: 2.8.1 0% commission payable to Century; 2.8.2 Century expenses of $27,500, payable to Century; 2.8.3 Century responsible for charging, collecting and remitting GST; 2.8.4 Century shall be responsible for collection of monies for all sales. All sale proceeds shall be deposited in a trust account; 2.8.5 Century reserves the right to charge and retain a Buyer’s Premium; 2.8.6 Within 21 days of the sale, Century shall provide a full report of all asset sales together with sale proceeds in the form of a cheque. RECEIVER’S RECOMMENDATION 3.1 Despite the Receiver’s efforts to provide TechMaster with additional time, TechMaster was unable to close on its offer to purchase the Leduc Assets and the Receiver has no 5 ENSECO ENERGY SERVICES CORP. AND ENSECO ENERGY SERVICES USA CORP. RECEIVER'S THIRD REPORT TO COURT February 22, 2016 confidence that TechMaster can secure funding in a reasonable time period in the near future. 4. 3.2 The Receiver is of the view that remarketing the Leduc Assets for sale to strategic or industry players would be time consuming, costly and likely not result in the receipt of any offers. The Receiver’s previous efforts to market and sell the Company’s assets were described in the Second Report, the results of which were noted in the Bid Summary attached as Confidential Appendix “H” to the Second Report. As noted above, the Receiver contacted a number of parties in the industry who had previously viewed the Leduc Assets and they advised they were not interested in an en bloc purchase of the Leduc Assets but would be interested if the Leduc Assets were to go to auction. 3.3 Further, the Receiver advises that the monthly rent obligation at the Leduc premises is approximately $30,000. Accordingly, monthly holding costs are significant. Century has advised the Receiver that it believes it will be in a position to sell the Leduc Assets and vacate the Leduc premises by the end of March or shortly thereafter, which will mitigate these holding costs. 3.4 Accordingly, the Receiver believes that proceeding with Century’s auction proposal is the best course of action to realize on the Leduc Assets in an efficient, timely and cost effective manner and that the terms of the Century auction proposal are reasonable. 3.5 Further, HSBC fully supports the Receiver proceeding with Century’s auction proposal. 3.6 The Receiver advises that it will be serving TechMaster with a copy of this Third Report and application materials. CONCLUSION 4.1 The Receiver respectfully requests that the Court grant the Receiver’s motion to approve the auction proposal of Century for the Leduc Assets. 6 ENSECO ENERGY SERVICES CORP.

This has been a time consuming task because as explained the project we have is large-scale and long term. It will span the next two years and requires the tools that we have agreed to purchase from Enseco among other things. The party that we agree to work with will be a part of this project, which makes this step of negotiations very critical for us. We are now preparing the written agreement, and we estimate that we should be able to meet the proposed 2 weeks ending on around January 20th, that we discussed last week.

We should have a firm date confirmed either by tomorrow or in the next couple of days. The commitment we discussed over the phone still stands.

I understand Mark has reached out to you by phone and email over the past week but has not received any responses. We will have to make a decision soon regarding how we will be moving forward on the sale of Leduc assets. In this regard, we request the following: l l l A commitment to provide us with daily updates on the status of funding or payment of the purchase price, including timely responses to any inquiries we make of you. A firm commitment date by which Techmaster will pay the purchase price to PwC. Payment of the deposit immediately. If we feel that the deal is floundering and Techmaster will be unable to close, we will have no choice but to proceed with another offer for the Leduc assets. That decision will likely be made in the next 10 days unless Techmaster can provide us with some comfort that it is able to close, along with providing us with the full amount of the deposit. We look forward to your response.

To summarize: l l l l l No certified cheque was provided with TechMaster's offer despite assurances leading up to the Bid Deadline that one would be provided. We accepted TechMaster's offer, deposited the cheque provided with TechMaster's offer and discovered after that there were insufficient funds in TechMaster's bank account. We were subsequently advised that a certified replacement cheque was in transit. When we followed up with the status of this cheque, we were advised that a wire for the deposit would be made instead and wire instructions were provided by PwC to TechMaster Now we are advised that funding for TechMaster's offer is an issue due to concerns from an investor over the "as is, where is" condition. file:///C:/Users/sfleming010/AppData/Local/Temp/notesF3B52A/~web9058.htm 2/20/2016 Page 2 of 6 To be frank, we are extremely disappointed with TechMaster's handling of its offer. To be clear, the offer submitted by TechMaster is subject to the Terms and Conditions of Sale which were accepted by TechMaster when it submitted its offer. As a reminder, set out below are the key terms agreed to by TechMaster: l l l l Para 5 - All tenders must be accompanied by a certified cheque or bank draft payable to “PricewaterhouseCoopers Inc., Receiver of Enseco”, for an amount equal to 15 percent of the Tender (the“Deposit”). If the tender is accepted, the Deposit will be applied to the purchase price on closing. The tenderer hereby agrees that the Deposit, subject always to paragraph 22, constitutes a genuine preestimate of damages and that the Deposit will be forfeited as liquidated damages by the tenderer to the Receiver if the tender is withdrawn at any time before notification of the acceptance of the successful tender has been given. Otherwise, the Deposit shall be returned to the tenderer if the tender is not accepted and if the tender is accepted, the Deposit will be dealt with in accordance with the Terms and Conditions of Sale. Para 6 - In consideration of the Receiver making available the Terms and Conditions of Sale and/or in consideration of receiving and considering any tender submitted, each tenderer agrees that its tender is irrevocable and cannot be retracted, withdrawn, varied or countermanded prior to acceptance or rejection thereof. Para 12 - The Assets are being sold on an “as is, where is” basis. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, a tender will be accepted on the basis that no representation, warranty, inducement or condition has been expressed, given or made or can be implied as to title, size, description, fitness for purpose or intended use, quantity, number, condition or quality of the Assets or in respect of any other matter or thing whatsoever, and the tenderer shall be deemed to have relied entirely upon his own inspection and investigation of the Assets. All conditions and warranties provided for in the Alberta Sale of Goods Act and any other relevant legislation in Canada or the United States are waived by the tenderer. Para 22 - If the Purchaser fails to comply with the terms and conditions of the Agreement, the Deposit and all other payments shall be forfeited and the Assets may be sold, and the deficiency, if any, by such resale, together with all costs, expenses and charges attending to the same or occasioned by such default, shall be paid forthwith by the Purchaser to the Receiver on demand We have accepted TechMaster's offer and are proceeding to obtain Court approval. Accordingly, we expect TechMaster to close the sale and remit the full amount of the purchase price to PwC once Court approval is obtained in the middle of January. If TechMaster fails to close, we will have no choice but to pursue our legal remedies. We draw your attention to paragraph 22 of the Terms and Conditions of Sale (bolded above). While we are open to assisting TechMaster with providing whatever documentation is in our possession regarding the kits, and we understand there are not issues with respect to the assets, we note that TechMaster has already agreed that it has conducted its owned due diligence and inspection of the assets and is purchasing the assets, "as is, where is". Therefore, from our perspective the availability of this documentation has no bearing on TechMaster's offer and the closing of the sale. Accordingly, we request the 15% deposit to be wired to us immediately. Please confirm to us within the next two days that the wire payment has been made, failing which we will be pursuing other offers and seeking our remedies against TechMaster pursuant to paragraph 22. If you have any questions regarding the foregoing, please do not hesitate to contact us.

I was waiting to reach a conclusion on where we stand. First of all note that we have projects that require these tools, so there is no doubt that these tools are needed. However, as discussed last week, one of the partners has become hesitant about the investment that he is going to have to put in. This is due to the tools being sold “as is”. His concern is that what if a number of the kits that we are purchasing do not work (beyond what can be fixed with regular service). To address this concern, the simple solution for us is that we provide documentation such as test and calibration records showing these tools are in working condition. This is documentation which these tools are required to have, and we are quite certain that they should be available at Enseco, as we have purchased similar tools in 2014 and 2015 from Enseco before (2 purchases with a total value of about $1.5 million USD). We need your cooperation in collecting these documents so we can satisfy this partner. We can send our personnel to assist with this. Convincing that one partner is the quickest way, however we have been working with other parties as alternatives to this partner for the investment, since as stated these tools are needed. These parties have shown high interest, and we are sure that this project will happen, the only issue is the timing. file:///C:/Users/sfleming010/AppData/Local/Temp/notesF3B52A/~web9058.htm 2/20/2016 Page 4 of 6 Merry Christmas, and a happy new year in advance.

At the time of the receipt of the offer, we drew attention to TechMaster that the cheque was not certified. Upon notifying TechMaster of the Receiver's acceptance of the offer on Lot 2, we advised TechMaster that we would be depositing the deposit cheque. You have advised us that although the deposit cheque was signed by TechMaster and issued to PwC, there are insufficient funds in TechMaster's bank account to cover this cheque. We draw your attention to paragraphs 5, 16 and 22 of the Terms and Conditions of Sale described in the Information Package, which TechMaster agreed it was subject to when TechMaster submitted its offer. In this regard, we request the entire amount of the Lot 2 purchase price, totalling $ MM ($ MM + GST of $ ), be wired to us immediately. We understand you will be working to have these funds wired to us immediately. In addition, we confirm having advised you that we will hold these funds in trust pending court approval and the closing of the sale anticipated to occur around January 12, 2016.

(“Enseco”) - In Receivership Techmaster Oil Tools Inc. (“Techmaster”) - Offer on Leduc Assets As you are aware, on December 9, 2015 Techmaster submitted an unconditional offer to purchase the Enseco Leduc assets (Lot 2) pursuant to a sales process conducted by PwC in its capacity as Court appointed Receiver of Enseco. On December 21, 2015, the Receiver accepted Techmaster’s offer and subsequently obtained Court approval on January 12, 2016. As of the date of this letter, and despite additional time afforded Techmaster by the Receiver to obtain funding, we confirm the following: 1. Techmaster failed to provide the Receiver with funds representing the 15% deposit required to be submitted with Techmaster’s December 9, 2015 offer; 2. Techmaster advised that it does not having sufficient funds to complete the transaction or to provide the Receiver with the 15%; and 3. Despite efforts to secure funding, Techmaster has failed to close on its offer to purchase the Leduc assets in a reasonable time period and the Receiver does not have confidence funding is forthcoming in the near future. Accordingly, we advise that Techmaster has failed to comply with the terms and conditions of sale outlined in the Receiver’s Information Package dated November 11, 2015. Accordingly, pursuant to paragraph 22 of the terms and conditions, the Receiver is now free to sell the Leduc assets and pursue Techmaster for any deficiency by such resale, together with all costs, expenses and charges attending to the same.

They are concerned with proposed 6 - 9 month period for the payment in full of the purchase price, which they view as too long a time frame. While they appreciate the offer of 50% of the purchase price and Techmaster only taking 25% of the assets initially, they have advised that the following terms would be acceptable to them. PwC and Techmaster must come to an agreement by tomorrow afternoon based on the foregoing terms. $ million paid to PwC immediately representing 65% of the purchase price, plus 3 months rent in advance (approx. $90K)to account for the storage/holding costs of the Receiver for the balance of the assets at the leased premises in Leduc. Techmaster cannot cherry pick the high quality assets comprising the 25% it proposes to take, leaving the Receiver with less than desirable assets. We can work with you on the list of assets to be released. Techmaster will be given 60 days to pay a further $ (minimum) to PwC, failing which PwC will be free to dispose of the remainder of the equipment in its possession. We note the 3 months prepaid rent will cover the 2 month time frame for additional funding with the remaining month to cover off if we have to go with another offer. If Techmaster pays the $ , we will provide a further 2 months to pay the balance of the $ MM and release a further 25% of the assets, leaving us with 50% in our possession. Techmaster to pay a further 3 months rent. If Techmaster does not pay the remaining balance, PwC will be free to dispose of the remainder of the equipment. If at any time the Leduc landlord demands the Receiver vacate the premises, Techmaster will pay all moving costs to relocate the equipment. Please advise.
