DECLARATION OF JUAN JOSE PENA GIRALDI
`
`I, the below named Declarant, state as follows:
`
`My name is Juan Jose Pena Giraldi.
`
`I am currently the Chief Financial
`
`Officer for Packers Plus, a position I have held since 2010. Over the past twenty-
`
`five years I have had extensive experience in international finance specializing in
`
`oil and gas, manufacturing and industrial products. I am familiar with Packers
`
`Plus’ StackFRAC system, and with Packers Plus’ sales of that system.
`
`Since it was founded in 2000, Packers Plus has grown from a company of
`
`only a handful of individuals generating less than a million dollars in revenue to, at
`
`its height, employing more than 900 employees around the globe and generating
`
`—in annual U.S. revenue. The StackFRAC system has been critical to
`
`that success. Since StackFRAC was first introduced, Packers Plus has sold tools
`
`for or performed fracture treatments for tens of thousands of StackFRAC stages in
`
`the United States. That work accounts for the vast majority of Packers Plus’
`
`overall revenue and profits.
`
`The success and importance of this technology has been recognized in the
`
`industry. Packers Plus and the individuals responsible for its success have won the
`
`2009 Ernst & Young Canadian Entrepreneur of the Year Award, the 2010 SPE
`
`Meritorious Engineering Award, the 2012 Sproule Innovation and Achievement
`
`award, and the TechRev Innovator Award. The Ernst & Young Award is
`
`

`
`particularly prestigious as competitors may come from a Variety of different
`
`industries—past winners include Cirque De Soleil and WestJet.
`
`In addition,
`
`Packers Plus has been recognized as the top service company in Canada by Alberta
`
`Oil magazine. The exhibits attached to this declaration are articles describing these
`
`awards.
`
`Further, Declarant sayeth not.
`
`I, the above—named Declarant, hereby declare that all statements made herein
`
`ofmy own knowledge are true and that all statements made on information and belief
`
`are believed to be true; and further that these statements were made with the
`
`knowledge that willful false statements and the like '.
`
`~ ade are punishable by fine
`
`0 f the United States.
`
` or imprisonment, or both, under Section ll

`PRESS RELEASE
`
`October 3, 2012
`
`UNCONVENTIONAL INDUSTRY AWARDS INNOVATIVE THINKING
`
`Each year, at the CSUR Fall Conference, the Sproule Innovation and
`Achievement Award is presented to an industry representative who has
`made significant contributions and accomplishments towards advancing the
`development of unconventional resources in Canada.
`
`represented Sproule Associates
`Douglas Carsted, VP of GeoScience,
`(sponsor of the Award), and presented the 2012 Award to Dan Themig.
`
`Dan, President of Packers Plus, was an early innovator in the development
`of modern hydraulic fracturing technologies, enabling the recovery of oil
`and gas from shale and similarly challenging hydrocarbon reservoirs,
`particularly using horizontal wells. He continues to be a catalyst within the
`industry for the evolution of reservoir completion technologies that are
`unlocking North America's oil and gas resources.
`
`The actual presentation took place on October 3"‘ during the 14"‘ Annual
`Unconventional Resources Conference (Frac to the Future) at the Telus
`Convention Centre in Calgary.
`CSUR President, Kevin Heffernan
`congratulated Dan on this
`recognition and on his game-changing
`contributions to the industry.

`
`Packers Plus was celebrated for being an established leader and innovator in the industry and recognized for developing the StackFRAC system.
`StackFRAC is the first ball show box system used to complete horizontal wells in multiple stages and enabled operators to maximize production in tight
`rock formations and mature fields. Packers Plus has revolutionized the industry through these horizontal wells and gas plays.
`
`The Calgary-based company was founded in 2000 by Dan Themig, Keri Paltzat, and Peter Krabben with the focus to provide innovative completions
`solutions to operators in the oil and gas industry. In 2001 the StackFRAC system was introduced, allowing access to shale gas that had not been
`monetariiy feasible to produce in the past.
`
`In 2004. operators started evaluating the use of Stac|<FRAC to tap natural gas from the Bakken play in Canada, which oil producers had long ago
`dismissed as inviabie. That same year in Texas, Packers Plus installed the RapidMATRlX system—acid stimulation in carbonates using limited, entry to
`evenly distribute stimulation fluid across isolated intervals. In 2005, they opened a second office in Houston.
`
`By 2007. Packers Plus had completed wells in Saudi Arabia, China, Mexico, Argentina, Romania, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The
`company was awarded Ernst & Young’s Entrepreneur ofthe Year for the prairies and for all of Canada, in 2009.
`
`The company developed the QuickFRAC system in 2010, which uses limited entry to selectively stimulate multiple stages with a single treatment from
`the surface. The system was designed to evenly distribute batch fractures in a select zone of the wellbore. That year also launched the SF Cementor,
`used for cemented-back monobore completions to reduce debris issues and post-cement cleanout costs.
`
`Afler opening new offices in Pennsylvania, Colorado, and China, Packers Plus moved into its MX Manufacturing Centre in Edmonton in 2013. The
`facility was the first of its kind because of the use of robotic assembly, and by testing a torquin system with a proprietary traceability method.
`
`Today, Packers Plus continues to be an innovative leader in the oil and gas industry. in May, the company announced the launch of the ePLUS Retina
`monitoring system. The technology will be used to observe downhole events and their effects on the reservoir. "Uncertainty in downhole operations can
`lead to costly delays," says Themig. “In the current context, the Retina system will allow operators to make on-the-lly operational adjustments with real-
`time data, ensuring a successful stimulation and maximum cost savings."
`
`This year, Packers Plus celebrates 15 years within the oil and gas industry. "Our future is innovation, a long-term focus, trying to anticipate where the
`industry is headed and then really be a key supplier and a good company to do business with for our customers," stated Themig in an article published
`in 2013. "Our continued role into the future is to bring game-changing innovation to markets around the world instead ofjust in North America. We're a
`strong force in the industry right now." Packers Plus has more than delivered on that role, and will hopefully do so for many years to come.
`
`From The OGM, Happy Anniversary Packers Plus, congratulations on your achievement, and thank you for your continuing insight and development of
`innovative technology in oil and gas.
