48.4 Crown Sections in the Huxley Area (30,480 net acres)
– Crown lands provide 5% royalties for 4-6 years @ $60-$70 WTI
– Extensive activity directly offsetting InPlay’s land
• Long land tenure allows InPlay a measured pace of development as
others prove up the play around us
Significant Light Oil Resource (high quality oil - premium price to Edmonton Light)
Upside Potential
– Potential recovery of 250 mbbl to >500 mbbl per well
– 290 net drilling locations (at 6 wells / section) targeting Upper Duvernay
• Hz wells been drilled into Lower Duvernay show similar production
results as Upper Duvernay
– Well costs reflect pad development scenario; single delineation wells
currently estimated to cost 30%-40% more

The reduction in 2020 NAV from 2019 NAV is primarily due to the following decrease in the reserve evaluator’s price decks:
– WTI prices dropping 28%, 24% and 20% in years 1, 2 and 3 respectively and 19% for the remaining years.
– Propane prices dropping 43% and 28% in years 1 and 2 respectively and 21-23% for the remaining years.
– Butane prices dropping 41% and 30% in years 1 and 2 respectively and 16% for the remaining years.
– AECO spot gas prices increasing 21% in year 1, decreasing 4% in year 2 and decreasing 10-13% for the remaining years.
Current WTI strip pricing for 2021 and 2022 is approximately 34% and 13% higher than the pricing used in the 2020 Reserve Report.

All amounts in this presentation are stated in Canadian dollars unless otherwise specified. Throughout this presentation, the terms Boe (barrels of oil equivalent) and Mmboe (millions of barrels of oil equivalent) are used. Such termswhen used in isolation, may be misleading. In accordance with Canadian practice, production volumes and revenues are reported on a company gross basis, before deduction of Crown and other royalties and without including anyroyalty interest, unless otherwise stated. Unless otherwise specified, all reserves volumes in this presentation (and all information derived therefrom) are based on "company gross reserves" using forecast prices and costs. Completedisclosure of our oil and gas reserves and other oil and gas information in accordance with NI 51-101 is available on our SEDAR profile at www.sedar.com. The recovery and reserve estimates contained herein are estimates onlyand there is no guarantee that the estimated reserves will be recovered. In relation to the disclosure of estimates for individual properties, such estimates may not reflect the same confidence level as estimates of reserves and futurenet revenue for all properties, due to the effects of aggregation. The Company's belief that it will establish additional reserves over time with conversion of probable undeveloped reserves into proved reserves is a forward-lookingstatement and is based on certain assumptions and is subject to certain risks, as discussed previously under the heading "Forward-Looking Information and Statements".
The information contained in this corporate presentation does not purport to be all-inclusive or to contain all information that a prospective investor may require. Prospective investors are encouraged to conduct their own analysisand reviews of InPlay and of the information contained in this corporate presentation. Without limitation, prospective investors should consider the advice of their financial, legal, accounting, tax and other advisors and such otherfactors they consider appropriate in investigating and analyzing InPlay.
Oil and Gas Advisories
The recovery and reserve estimates of InPlay's reserves provided herein are estimates only and there is no guarantee that the estimated reserves with be recovered. Throughout this presentation various references are made to"potential" and "targeted" resource and recoveries which have been prepared by management of InPlay and are not estimates of reserves or resources. Accordingly, undue reliance should not be placed on same. Such informationhas been prepared by management for the purposes of making capital investment decisions and for internal budget preparation only. In addition, forward-looking statements or information are based on a number of material factors,expectations or assumptions of InPlay which have been used to develop such statements and information but which may prove to be incorrect. Although InPlay believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-lookingstatements or information are reasonable, undue reliance should not be placed on forward-looking statements because InPlay can give no assurance that such expectations will prove to be correct. In addition to other factors andassumptions which may be identified herein, assumptions have been made regarding, among other things: the impact of increasing competition; the general stability of the economic and political environment in which InPlayoperates; the timely receipt of any required regulatory approvals; the ability of InPlay to obtain qualified staff, equipment and services in a timely and cost efficient manner; the ability of InPlay to add production and reserves throughacquisition, development and exploration activities; drilling results; the ability of the operator of the projects in which InPlay has an interest in to operate the field in a safe, efficient and effective manner; field production rates anddecline rates; the ability to replace and expand oil and natural gas reserves through acquisition, development and exploration; risks associated with the degree of certainty in resource assessments; the timing and cost of pipeline,storage and facility construction and expansion and the ability of InPlay to secure adequate product transportation; future commodity prices; currency, exchange and interest rates; regulatory framework regarding royalties, taxes andenvironmental matters in the jurisdictions in which InPlay operates; and the ability of InPlay to successfully market its oil and natural gas products.
Certain information in this document may constitute "analogous information" as defined in National Instrument 51-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Oil and Gas Activities ("NI-51-101"), including but not limited to, information relatingto the areas in geographical proximity to lands that are or may be held by InPlay. Such information has been obtained from government sources, regulatory agencies or other industry participants. InPlay believes the information isrelevant as it helps to define the reservoir characteristics in which InPlay may hold an interest. InPlay is unable to confirm that the analogous information was prepared by a qualified reserves evaluator or auditor. Such information isnot an estimate of the reserves or resources attributable to lands held or potentially to be held by InPlay and there is no certainty that the reservoir data and economics information for the lands held or potentially to be held by InPlaywill be similar to the information presented herein. The reader is cautioned that the data relied upon by InPlay may be in error and/or may not be analogous to such lands to be held by InPlay.
Any references in this presentation to initial, early and/or test or production/performance rates are useful in confirming the presence of hydrocarbons, however, such rates are not determinate of the rates at which such wells willproduce or continue production and to decline thereafter. Additionally, such rates may also include recovered "load oil" fluid used in well completion stimulation. Readers are cautioned not to place reliance on such rates incalculating the aggregate production for InPlay. The initial production rate may be estimated based on other third-party estimates or limited data available at this time. In all cases in this presentation, initial production or tests are notnecessarily indicative of long-term performance of the relevant well or fields or of ultimate recovery of hydrocarbons.
References to light oil, NGLs or natural gas production in this press release refer to the light and medium crude oil, natural gas liquids and conventional natural gas product types, respectively, as defined in NI-51-101.
Reserves – All reserves disclosed in this presentation are derived from InPlay’s independent reserve evaluation effective December 31, 2020, complete details of which can be found within our Annual Information form filed onSEDAR. Reserves are estimated remaining quantities of oil and natural gas and related substances anticipated to be recoverable from known accumulations, as of a given date, based on the analysis of drilling, geological,geophysical and engineering data; the use of established technology; and specified economic conditions, which are generally accepted as being reasonable. Reserves are classified according to the degree of certainty associatedwith the estimates as follows:
Proved Reserves are those reserves that can be estimated with a high degree of certainty to be recoverable. It is likely that the actual remaining quantities recovered will exceed the estimated proved reserves.
Proved Developed Producing Reserves are those proved reserves that are expected to be recovered from completion intervals open at the time of the estimate. These reserves may be currently producing or,if shut in, they must have previously been on production, and the date of resumption of production must be known with reasonable certainty.
Proved Developed Producing Reserves are those proved reserves that either have not been on production, or have previously been on production but are shut in and the date of resumption of production isunknown.
Probable Reserves are those additional reserves that are less certain to be recovered than proved reserves. It is equally likely that the actual remaining quantities recovered will be greater or less than the sum of theestimated proved plus probable reserves.
Test Results and Initial Production Rates - A pressure transient analysis or well-test interpretation has not been carried out and thus certain of the test results provided herein should be considered to be preliminary until suchanalysis or interpretation has been completed. Test results and initial production rates disclosed herein may not necessarily be indicative of long term performance or of ultimate recovery. Initial Production “IP”) rates indicate theaverage daily production over the indicated daily period.
BOE equivalent - Barrel of oil equivalents or BOEs may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. A BOE conversion ratio of 6 mcf: 1 bbl is based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burnertip and does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead. Given that the value ratio based on the current price of crude oil as compared to natural gas is significantly different than the energy equivalency of 6:1, utilizing a 6:1conversion basis may be misleading as an indication of value.
Estimated Ultimate Recovery – Estimated Ultimate Recovery (“EUR”) is an approximation of the quantity of oil or gas that is potentially recoverable or has already been recovered from a reserve or well. EUR is not a defined termwithin the COGE Handbook and therefore any reference to EUR in this presentation is not deemed to be reported under the requirements of NI 51-101. Readers are cautioned that there is no certainty that the Company willultimately recover the estimated quantity of oil or gas from such reserves or wells.
Net Present Value Estimates - It should not be assumed that the net present value of the estimated future net revenues of the reserves of InPlay included in this presentation represent the fair market value of the reserves. There isno assurance that the forecast prices and cost assumptions will be attained and variances could be material.

Oil and Gas Advisories (cont’d)
Type Curves and Potential Recovery Estimates - The type curves presented herein reflect a selection from a type curves library provided by InPlay’s independent reserve evaluator. In each case the type curve presented is thatwhich in management’s assessment feels best represents the expected average drilling results based upon InPlay producing wells in the area as well as non-InPlay wells determined by management to be analogous for purposes ofthe type curve assignments. Type curves presented incorporate the most recent data from actual well results and would only be representative of the specific drilled locations. There is no guarantee that InPlay will achieve theestimated or similar results derived therefrom. The referenced potential recovery estimates are meant to approximate Proved Plus Probable Undeveloped reserves as defined by COGE. The potential recovery estimates have beengenerated using the relevant oil type curve noted above and incorporating management assumptions relating to gas and NGL amounts which are based on historical results. These estimates are considered internally generatedrecovery targets developed by InPlay’s technical team and are not reserve or resource estimates prepared in accordance with the requirements of COGE. Accordingly, undue reliance should not be placed on the same. Suchinformation has been prepared by management for the purposes of making capital investment decisions and for internal budget preparation only.
Drilling Locations - This presentation discloses drilling locations in two categories: (i) booked locations; and (ii) unbooked locations. Booked locations are proved locations and probable locations derived from the InPlay’sindependent reserves evaluation effective December 31, 2020 and account for drilling locations that have associated proved and/or probable reserves, as applicable. Of the 555 drilling locations identified herein, 92 are booked asproved plus probable locations, 31 are booked as probable locations and 432 are unbooked locations. Unbooked locations are management estimates based on prospective acreage and an assumption as to the number of wells thatcan be drilled per section based on industry practice and internal review. Unbooked locations do not have attributed reserves or resources. Unbooked locations have been identified by management as an estimation of theCompany's potential multi-year drilling activities based on evaluation of applicable geologic, seismic, engineering, production and reserves information. There is no certainty that the InPlay will drill all unbooked drilling locations and ifdrilled there is no certainty that such locations will result in additional oil and gas reserves, resources or production. The drilling locations on which InPlay actually drills wells will depend upon the availability of capital, regulatoryapprovals, seasonal natural gas prices, costs, actual drilling results, additional reservoir information that is obtained and other factors. While certain of the unbooked drilling locations have been derisked by either InPlay restrictions,oil and other industry participants drilling existing wells in relative close proximity to such unbooked drilling locations, certain unbooked drilling locations are farther away from existing wells where management has less informationabout the characteristics of the reservoir. Therefore, there is uncertainty whether wells will be drilled in such unbooked locations and if drilled there is more uncertainty that such wells will result in additional oil and gas reserves,resources or production.
Oil & Gas Metrics - This presentation may contain metrics commonly used in the oil and natural gas industry, such as "finding and development costs", "finding and development recycle ratio", "finding, development and acquisitioncosts", "finding, development and acquisition recycle ratio", “payout”, "RLI" and "IRR". These terms do not have standardized meanings or standardized methods of calculation and therefore may not be comparable to similarmeasures presented by other companies, and therefore should not be used to make such comparisons. Management uses oil and gas metrics for its own performance measurements and to provide shareholders with measures tocompare InPlay's operations over time. Readers are cautioned that the information provided by these metrics, or that can be derived from the metrics presented in this presentation, should not be unduly relied upon.
Finding and development costs ("F&D costs") are calculated on a per boe basis by dividing the aggregate of the change in future development costs from the prior year for the particular reserve category and the costsincurred on exploration and development activities in the year by the change in reserves from the prior year for the reserve category.
F&D recycle ratio is calculated by dividing the operating netback per boe for the period by the F&D costs per boe for the particular reserve category.
Finding, development and acquisition costs ("FD&A costs") are calculated on a per boe basis by dividing the aggregate of the change in future development costs from the prior year for the particular reserve categoryand the costs incurred on exploration and development activities and property acquisitions (net of dispositions) in the year by the change in reserves from the year for the reserve category.
FD&A recycle ratio is calculated by dividing the operating netback per boe for the period by the FD&A costs per boe for the particular reserve category.
Payout refers to the time required to pay back the capital expenditures (on a before tax basis) of a project.
Reserve Life Index (“RLI”) is calculated by dividing the quantity of a particular reserve category of reserves by the forecast of the first year's production for the corresponding reserve category.
Reserve Replacement: The reserves replacement ratio is calculated by dividing the yearly change in reserves before production by the actual annual production for that year.
Internal Rate of Return (“IRR”) refers to the discount rate that makes the net present value of all cash flows of a project equal zero.

Non-GAAP Measures
Included in this document are references to the terms “adjusted funds flow”, “free adjusted funds flow”, “operating income profit margin”, “Net Debt/EBITDA”, “net asset value”, “market capitalization” and “enterprise value”.Management believes these measures are helpful supplementary measures of financial and operating performance and provide users with similar, but potentially not comparable, information that is commonly used by other oil andnatural gas companies. These terms do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP and should not be considered an alternative to, or more meaningful than, “funds flow”, “profit (loss) before taxes”, “profit (loss) andcomprehensive income (loss)” or assets and liabilities as determined in accordance with GAAP as a measure of the Company’s performance and financial position. InPlay’s determination of these Non-GAAP measures may not becomparable to those reported by other companies. For a reconciliation to the nearest GAAP figure, where applicable, for adjusted funds flow, free adjusted funds flow and operating income profit margin, refer to section titled“Forward Looking Information Assumptions”.
Adjusted Funds Flow - InPlay uses “adjusted funds flow” as a key performance indicator. Adjusted funds flow should not be considered as an alternative to or more meaningful than funds flow as determined in accordance withGAAP as an indicator of the Company’s performance. InPlay’s determination of adjusted funds flow may not be comparable to that reported by other companies. Adjusted funds flow is calculated by adjusting for decommissioningexpenditures from funds flow. This item is adjusted from funds flow as decommissioning expenditures are incurred on a discretionary and irregular basis and are primarily incurred on previous operating assets, making the exclusionof this item relevant in Management’s view to the reader in the evaluation of InPlay’s performance. For a detailed description of InPlay’s method of calculating adjusted funds flow and its reconciliation to the nearest GAAP term,refer to the section “Non-GAAP Measures” in the Company’s most recent MD&A filed on SEDAR.
Free Adjusted Funds Flow - InPlay uses “free adjusted funds flow” as a key performance indicator. Free adjusted funds flow should not be considered as an alternative to or more meaningful than funds flow as determined inaccordance with GAAP as an indicator of the Company’s performance. Free adjusted funds flow is calculated by the Company as adjusted funds flow less capital expenditures and is a measure of the cashflow remaining aftercapital expenditures that can be used for additional capital activity, repayment of debt or decommissioning expenditures. Management considers free adjusted funds flow an important measure to identify the Company’s ability toimprove the financial condition of the Company through debt repayment, which has become more important recently with the introduction of second lien lenders. Refer to “Forward Looking Information Assumptions” section for acalculation of forecast free adjusted funds flow.
Operating Income Profit Margin - InPlay uses “operating income profit margin” as key performance indicators. Operating income should not be considered as an alternative to or more meaningful than net income as determined inaccordance with GAAP as an indicator of the Company’s performance. Operating income is calculated by the Company as oil and natural gas sales less royalties, operating expenses and transportation expenses and is a measureof the profitability of operations before administrative, share-based compensation, financing and other non-cash items Operating income profit margin is calculated by the Company as operating income as a percentage of oil andnatural gas sales. Management considers operating income profit margin an important measure to evaluate its operational performance as it demonstrates how efficiently the Company generates field level profits from its salesrevenue. For a detailed description of InPlay’s method of the calculation of operating income profit margin and its reconciliation to the nearest GAAP term, refer to the section “Non-GAAP Measures” in the Company’s most recentMD&A filed on SEDAR.
Net Debt/EBITDA - InPlay uses “Net Debt/EBITDA” as a key performance indicator. EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to or more meaningful than funds flow as determined in accordance with GAAP as anindicator of the Company’s performance. EBITDA is calculated by the Company as adjusted funds flow before interest expense. This measure is consistent with the EBITDA formula prescribed under the Company's Credit Facility.Net Debt/EBITDA is calculated as Net Debt divided by EBITDA. Management considers Net Debt/EBITDA a key performance indicator as it is a key metric under our first lien and second lien credit facilities and is an importantmeasure to identify the Company’s annual ability to fund financing expenses, net debt reductions and other obligations. Refer to the “Forward Looking Information Assumptions” section for a calculation of forecast Net Debt/EBITDA.
Net Asset Value - Management considers net asset value an important measure to evaluate changes to asset value of the Company. Net asset value is calculated by the Company as the net present value of future operatingincome (BT 10%) for proved plus probable reserves derived from InPlay’s independent reserve evaluation effective December 31, 20120 plus Undeveloped Land value less net debt and working capital deficiency. Refer to the slidetitled “2020 Year End Net Asset Value” for a calculation of this measure.
Market Capitalization - Management considers market capitalization an important measure of the market value of InPlay’s equity. Market capitalization is calculated by the Company as the Company’s current share pricemultiplied by the current number of shares outstanding.
Enterprise Value - Management considers enterprise value an important measure to evaluate changes to the market value of the Company. Enterprise value should not be considered as an alternative to or more meaningful thantotal capitalization as determined in accordance with GAAP as an indicator of the Company’s performance. Enterprise value is calculated by the Company as the Company’s market capitalization plus net debt less cash and cashequivalents. Refer below for a calculation of this measure.
