Affidavit # 1 of Darren Stevenson, Sworn February 10, 2013 At Tunis, Republic of Tunisia

Pour Le Commission Nationale d'Investigation sur la Corruption et les Malversations

Between Darren Richard Stevenson (also known as Darren AbdulRahim Stevenson) Plaintiff And Slim Chiboub, Ayoub Knani, Mayodor and Green Oil and Gas Corporation Defendants

AFFIDAVIT I, Darren Richard Stevenson, a Canadian Citizen Passport BA806928 and businessman residing at Suite 302, 5788 Birney Avenue, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada MAKE OATH AND SAY AS FOLLOWS: 1. I am a plaintiff in this action and as such, have personal knowledge of the matters sworn herein except where stated to be based on information and belief, and in relation to such matters, I do believe them to be true.

2.

I carry on business in the field of energy exploitation, both in relation to private and public enterprises. I have over seventeen years experience in the development of technology and in mergers and acquisitions, primarily in the energy sector, with such companies as the Royal Dutch Shell PLC group of companies in the Netherlands.

3.

I am a founding shareholder, past chief executive officer and First Director of Voyageur Oil and Gas Corporation; a private Canadian oil and gas exploration company that was formed specifically to develop the Borj Al Khadra Sud permit(BEKS) in Southern Tunisia. I served as the CEO of the company between 2007 and 2011.

4.

I wish to seek financial compensation from the Defendants for the financial, emotional and physical damage and loss of reputation to continue my business as a result of criminal actions of the Defendants for the unsuccessful attempt to steal the BEKS permit by illegally taking over and trying to bankrupt my company, Voyageur Oil and Gas Corporation, wrongfully dismissing me from the company and for failing to fulfil their legal obligations to resolve a dispute between another Voyageur shareholder, Michael Mumelter and a Tunisian Citizen, Mongi Gharbi.

5.

I have personally visited Slim Chiboub a total of 32 days on 7 separate visits in the year 2012, living with him at the Shangri-La Hotel in Abu Dhabi to try and resolve and discuss my concerns with no success. (See Exhibit 1: Evidence of Visits to Slim Chiboub)

6.

I have also visited Mr. Ayoub Knani several times in Tunis, Tunisia including with Mr. Gharbi and he has refused to cooperate with me and Mr. Gharbi on resolving matters concerning Slim Chiboub.

7.

The following is a timeline of the actions and role of the Defendants along references to documents and emails that support my claims which are attached as Exhibits: The timeline 2006 Voyageur was incorporated in Ontario, Canada to pursue business in Tunisia specifically to build a company on the foundation of the Borj Al Khadra Sud permit Mr. Stevenson is a founding shareholder and First Director (See Exhibit 2: Incorporation Documents) Voyageur negotiates with Pascal Petroleum, the operator of BEKS permit) and Geosat Technology to acquire 45% of the BEKS permit and operatorship with 55% being held by ETAP. Voyageur is to pay 100% of exploration commitments until a commercial discovery. Voyageur acknowledges the contribution of Mr. Mongi Gharbi in helping Voyageur obtain the permit and the existing agreement between himself and another First Director of Voyageur, Michael Mumelter

Page | 2

(See Exhibit 3: Mongi Gharbi Success Fee) 2007 The company secures $4.3 million in investment from Canada and Europe through a private placement, governed by Canadian corporate law. A total $2.25 million USD is paid to Pascal and Geosat (Mumelter's Company) for the BEKS permit and the remainder is used for seismic reprocessing and general working capital, including building a technical and management team. The company begins negotiations with Canadian Investment Company in Calgary, Alberta to raise funds for seismic and drilling commitments. At the end of 2007 the first signs of an economic slowdown mean that Canadian investment company cannot guarantee the investment. As CEO together with the Company management, we decide to pursue investment in the MENA region. We start discussions in Doha, Dubai and Tunisia with several interested investors. 2008 In the middle of 2008 we secure $10 million Canadian dollars from Qatari investor, Mr Abdul Hameed Mustafawi. We continue many discussions with multiple investors in Tunisia for the drilling investment including Mr. Slim Chiboub who is introduced to us by Mr: Imed Deriouche under a finder's fee agreement. Subsequently, Mr. Ayoub Knani is introduced to us as the Slim Chiboub's lawyer and his legal representative for negotiations and agreements. In September 2008, the world suffers the worst economic crises since the great depression, the $10 million Canadian dollars is now worth $7.5 million US dollars and the company is now in cash crises with a major 3D Seismic program underway on the BEKS permit which is employing over 350 people in Southern Tunisia. I invite Slim Chiboub to make investment in Voyageur and help raise further investment for drilling. Several discussions occur and investment project from Slim Chiboub is named Project Tigre. He makes 1 million USD investment equivalent in TND immediately through his company Mayodor to ensure that the seismic program continues and then we negotiate with Maydor for another 4 million USD. Please note that during a discussion with Slim Chiboub on October 27, 2012 he admitted to me that the investment from Mayodor was from funds he had received from the Tunsian Stock Exchange public offering in Nouvelair. Further he stated to me that in 2002 an advisor Page | 3

to then minister of oil in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia had given him a file which indicated that there was major oil and gas prospective resources in the southern part of Tunisia in the Ghadames basin. In a separate discussion he indicated his offer to give up all his shares in Nouvelair to the Tunisian state as part of his negotiations to return to Tunisia as there were some questions on how he received some of the shares for free from Aziz Milad. This supports my claim that the funds he invested in Voyageur were not significant to him and that since he had received this money with little effort, he could use these funds to takeover Voyageur and the very attractive exploration BEKS exploration permit. He chose to use two investment companies for the investment in Voyageur; Mayodor his Tunisian family holding company and Green Oil and Gas Corporation which he has put the shares in the name of a close personal friend in Abu Dhabi, Butti Mohamed Butti Mohammed Al Qubasi

(See Exhibit 4: Green Oil Email-Project Tigre) (See Exhibit 5: Green Oil Document) 2009 Slim Chiboub through Mayodor seeks approval by the Central Bank of Tunisia to convert Tunisian Dinars into US Dollars so he can invest in Voyageur. The central bank of Tunisia withholds approval for Mayodors investment in Voyageur until a shareholder dispute was resolved (ie Michael Mumelters agreement to give Mongi Gharbi 1.5 million Voyageur shares). Chiboub sent his legal representative, Mr Ayoub Knani to Vienna, Austria where he negotiated on Chiboub's behalf to resolve the matter with Mumelter and Gharbi. Michael Mumelter, Wayne Koshman and Darren Stevenson agreed to give to Chiboub 500,000 shares each for free with the condition that the dispute be resolved. (See Exhibit 6 Gharbi Trust Document) Approval is granted and Slim Chiboub invests in Voyageur though a purchase of shares as per a share subscription agreement and requests a Board position as well as an executive position which he states he needs to be able to raise investment from his contacts in Abu Dhabi and Libya. The Board of Directors accepts his investment and requirements (See Exhibit 7: Slim Chiboub joins Voyageur) After analyzing the technical information from the 3D seismic program, it is clear that the exploration targets are much deeper, more complex and more expensive. The Page | 4

company begins to engage companies to raise up to $50 million in drilling investment and Slim Chiboub starts working as an executive under the same terms as the CEO but refuses to sign a contract. He asks that any shares he is granted as an executive be issued into Green Oil and Gas Corporation (See Exhibit 8: Slim Chiboub Working in Voyageur) (See Exhibit 9: Slim Chiboub Bonus Conversion-GreenOil) The executive team gives regular reports to the Board of Directors on progress and becomes obvious that as Slim Chiboub as Chairman of the Board is focused on bringing his own investment from Abu Dhabi or Libya and is not interested in the Company's efforts to raise investment without his involvement. Furthermore he refuses to sign any board resolution with third parties the Company wishes to engage for raising investment. (See Exhibit 10: Fairfax investment-Chiboub did not sign) Chiboub appoints Ayoub Knani as a lawyer for both himself and the Company and he refuses to provide any details about his activities as an executive and in fact he urges the company not to engage with any oil and gas companies for a farm-in after the CEO of ETAP, Khaled Beheickh makes a surprise announcement without any discussions with the Company that we do not have the financial or technical capability to continue as the operator of the BEKS permit. This caused the Company major damage with its investment activities (See Exhibit 11-ETAP-Khaled Bechiekh-farmout no approval) Chiboub and Ayoub Knani without any involvement of the Company executives, engages the Abu Dhabi sovereign investment company, Mudadala. Despite many attempts to be involved in the process myself and the Vice President of Exploration, Duncan McMaster were not allowed to meet with any decision makers. This seems to fit with the pattern of blocking any real attempts to find investors for the Company so that it would become bankrupt. (See Exhibit 12-Mubadala Letter) Without any approval from the Board of Directors, Slim Chiboub took control of the Company's BIAT bank account. This is after successfully convincing the Board of Directors to move its operations and bank accounts from Canada. He also writes a memo to staff that no travel or leave requests can be done without his approval. This action means that he has constructively dismissed Darren Stevenson as CEO, Page | 5

resulting in wrongful termination of the executive employment contract. Stevenson later files for wrongful dismissal in Canadian Court but because of the successful efforts of Slim Chiboub to discredit him with the Company management and Directors, he did not receive a fair settlement. (See Exhibit 13--Chiboub Ilegal Takeover_Travel & Bank) (See Exhibit 14-Canadian Court Filing-wrongfuldismissal) Mongi Gharbi informs Voyageur that he was not compensated by Chiboub or Mumelter. Stevenson attempts to help Gharbi by signing a $USD296,000 agreement to pay Gharbi with the hope that Chiboub will honour his legal obligation (See Exhibit 15-Stevenson 296k USD to Gharbi) 2010 to present. The company faces many internal and external challenges and the world economic crisis has made it very difficult to raise any investment especially with Slim Chiboub blocking all attempts by the management team to bring investors. Slim Chiboub uses his influence on the Minister of Industry to obtain a 2 year extension of the permit 3 months before the allowed date upon which the Company could legally ask for an extension. (See Exhibit 16-Chiboub gets BEKS extension using influence) This extension was then used by Chiboub to turn down a very attractive investment from a qualified Chinese company for a net price of $1.28 per share. In 2012 the Company was forced to raise investment qt $0.05 per share, showing the damage caused by Chiboub. There are other examples of Chiboub blocking investment which can be provided by the Plaintiff upon request. (See Exhibit 17-Chiboub denies Genesis Offer-2yr extension no need) Chiboub then terminates 12 members of the Company's Tunisian staff without any approval from the Board of Directors and without my knowledge, he also stops paying the executive salaries including myself and Duncan McMaster; VP Exploration while still paying himself $USD30,000.00 per month. Both Duncan McMaster and members of the Tunisian staff that were dismissed are willing to be interviewed about the actions of Slim Chiboub. On October 29, 2010 Chiboub holds a meeting in Paris with 2 other large shareholders of Voyageur, Abdul Hameed Mustafawi and Salida Capital from Canada where he presents the Company as bankrupt due to the failure of the Company's management and that the Company should be forced into bankruptcy and liquidated with a new Page | 6

Company formed among themselves only to transfer the BEKS permit to. The other shareholders do not agree as this is considered illegal. The Tunisian revolution happens before Chiboub can complete his plan to liquidate the Company and Stevenson starts the long process of recovering from the financial, psychological and physical health damages caused by the actions of Slim Chiboub. (See Exhibit 18-Damages and debt caused by Chiboub) Mongi Gharbi informs the Company that he has not been compensated and that his 13 year old daughter died from Leukaemia. The funds from Chiboub could have paid for treatment in Europe: (See Exhibit 19-Mongi Gharbi informs not paid) Stevenson attempts to resolve the matter regarding Mongi Gharbi directly with Chiboub but he refuses to acknowledge his legal obligation (See Exhibit 20- Email to chiboub re gharbi) Stevenson then begins a media campaign against Chiboub with a press release and facebook page. (See Exhibit 21- Press Release re Chiboub Gharbi) (See Exhibit 22- Facebook OneMore Day Tunisia) Stevenson informs the Canadian Embassy in Tunisia about the situation with Chiboub and seeks their help. (See Exhibit 23- Email Canadian Embassy Tunis-Re Slim Chiboub) As a result of Chiboub's actions the company was forced to conclude a farmin agreement with Andarko Petroleum who agrees to pay Voyageur for its past costs and pay 100% of the 2 exploration wells. As part of the process, I was personally interviewed by the lawyers of this American Oil Company about the involvement of Slim Chiboub and was required to sign a questionnaire declaring my knowledge and understanding. Due to the extensive psychological damage and incomplete information i did not clearly understand the efforts of Chiboub to steal the BEKS asset and as a result the deal was approved and the work is now underway. Voyageur has not sold any of its shares; rather it has sold 80% of the BEKS permit. Maydor shares are currently confiscated and Green Oil Corporation shares are also frozen by Voyageur pending the clarification of the ownership, which may have already been clarified as the Green Oil $USD2.25 million has been transferred from BIAT Bank under Anadarko control to the Tunisian Government Treasury. Slim Chiboub has never sold or attempted to sell any of his shares of Voyageur. Mayodor less than 6% of the total shares in Voyageur and Green Oil has approximately 15%. (See Exhibit 24- Shareholder list) Page | 7

The following people are prepared to be interviewed with regards to the actions of Chiboub and the content of this submission. Please contact the Plaintiff for their contact information. 1. Duncan McMaster, past Vice President of Exploration Voyageur Oil and Gas Corporation. Settled with the Company in 2011 for wrongful dismissal by Chiboub for refusing to pay his salary. 2. Sonia Harrabi Hammadi, former local Tunisan staff member who as dismissed from her position by Chiboub without approval from the CEO or the Board of Directors. 3. Mongi Gharbi as mentioned in this submission 4. Michael Mumelter as mentioned in this submission 5. Francesca Boulet Stevenson, former founding shareholder and financial controller of Voyageur Oil and Gas who was dismissed by Chiboub in October, 2009 because she married Stevenson in September 2009. She has also suffered great emotional and financial distress as a result the actions of Chiboub including being evicted from the family house and having to sell all the assets of the house to service the past 3 years. 6. Kiran Unadkat, a travel agent based in London that has been owed $USD75,000 since May 2010 from travel expenses that were incurred by myself in the course of raising investment for Voyageur and could not be paid when Chiboub stopped paying me. Kiran has suffered the loss of his business and great emotional distress as a result of this debt.

Please note that the lawyer for Anadarko is also the same lawyer who acts for Slim Chiboub, namely M. Salaheddine Caid Essebsi

(See Exhibit 25- Anadarko BEKS Company Legal representative- M. Salaheddine Caid Essebsi)

Hi Bud,

I am very confused. I thought that Slim was ready. I really think we are getting fucked/delayed so that we have to give up a position.

We still need board approval for the financing Darren. We the management cannot decide the pricing and closing.

Dear Darren, Thank you for your most recent email. I will revert to you shortly on the proposal . I am really sorry to hear that you cannot come to Tunis at this time. Kindly note that, as a result of my recent discussions with the banks, it is absolutely necessary that I be provided with a revised business plan reflecting a potential oil barrel price of 50 US Dollars. This is very urgent as it will be submitted to their committee on the 10th of November. I also require that you confirm to me the total amount of Voyageur?s equity once the subscriptions have been realized. In order to enable me to meet the conditions prior to drawing, the bank requires the fulfillment of the following conditions: an official document stating the amount of equity document executed by the auditors>,

copy of the updated articles of incorporation of Voyageur, copy of the certificate of incorporation as well as a certificate of non bankruptcy, undertaking for the domiciliation of Tunisian earnings opening of an account by Voyageur , legal opinion confirming: the valid existence of Voyageur and its ability to enter into the subscription documents, the absence of any bankruptcy procedure against Voyageur, and the validity of all of the social, legal land regulatory authorizations of Voyageur in connection with the subscription. I would certainly be grateful if you could give the necessary instructions for the preparation of the above documents so that we may proceed to the drawdown as soon as possible. Sincerely, Ayoub Darren Stevenson 005@hotmail.com> Ayoub Knani 04/11/2008 20:29 cc , Objet RE: Project Tigre draft attached> ,

Hi Darren,

As it was discussed at the last BOD meeting, and as per the request of Mr. Slim Chiboub, we have prepared an official letter to Mr. the Minister of Industry &Technology, along with an official extension request with the full Annexes to the Hydrocarbon Consultative Committee. The official letter to Mr. the Minister was handed over by Mr. Slim Chiboub in person to expedite the process, and therefore our request was accepted at the HCC of the February 15, 2010 for consideration.

Today (Feb 22, 2010) we received the official notification of our extension being accepted for two Years (Nov

04,2010 thru Nov 03,2012) at one condition: extend our letter of guaranty by same period, two years. Would you please ask TD to extend our LG in favor of the Ministry of Industry & Technology by two years starting with Nov 04, 2010 till Nov 03, 2012.

All this process for the extension was realized in an exceptional time frame and in a good manner due to the involvement of Mr. Slim Chiboub and the trust in his person by the local authorities.

The price offered per unit is in decalage with the valorization of Voyageur as calculate by our external and internal financial advisors , The level of commissioning is to high in comparison with the price offered per unit and is not in line with the standard in this type of transaction , Voyageur is no more under pressure due to the two year extension obtained by Voyageur.

Regards,

Ayoub

Confidential
Darren R Stevenson, Private <darrenrstevenson2010@gmail.com> To: slimchiboub@hotmail.fr Cc: "A.Hameed Mostafawi" <amustafawi@hotmail.com> Cher Slim: I wish to clarify my position with you on my recent communication. First I apologize for the manner in which I communicated, it was not necessary and for this I am sorry. I have recently been given very reliable information about your involvement with Voyageur, however that is in the past and is between you and Allah. I appreciate your investment in Voyageur and your mentorship and guidance during some very difficult times for me. Sun, Oct 14, 2012 at 11:16 AM

However there are 2 particular issues that I wish to resolve with you.

1) Mongi Gharbi: As you are well aware the central bank of Tunisia withheld approval for Mayodors investment in Voyageur until a shareholder dispute was resolved (ie Michael Mumelters agreement to give Mongi Gharbi 1.5 million Voyageur shares). You sent your legal representative, Mr Ayoub Knani to Vienna, Austria where he negotiated on your behalf to resolve the matter with Mumelter and Gharbi. The 3 founders (myself, Michael Mumelter and Wayne Koshman agreed to give to you 500,000 shares each for free with the condition that the dispute be resolved. SEE ATTACHED TRUST DECLARATION FROM MYSELF.) a. I am shocked and dismayed to hear from Mongi Gharbi that this was not resolved by yourself, despite many attempts to do so, including meetings with Ayob and your representatives in Tunisia even post revolution. Furthermore, at the time of the Mayodor investment, his 13 year old daughter was dying of a rare form of leukemia and if he had the funds from you at the time, her death may have been pro longed or not as painful. Shame on you my friend. b. RESOLUTION: i. Ask Bin Butti to transfer 1.5 million Voyageur shares to Mongi Gharbi ii. Borrow 1 million dollars from Butti to pay Mongi for his suffering, this can be after the funds are released from the Anadarko transaction. Majority of these funds will go to a new Tunisian Foundation for children with cancer.

2) 1 million shares you purchased from me so I could pay for my wedding in September 2009. a. After Mongi Haffouz received approval from you and me for his agreed $300,000 dollar bonus, I asked that I get the my remaining $150,000 bonus. However you withheld your approval and offered to purchase 1 million shares from me at 15 cents, which you wired $100,000 USD to Vancouver and the rest I received in cash. This was done on the condition that both you and I would convert our remaining $150,000 bonuses to share at 15 cents. The Board resolutions were signed for this by everyone EXECPT yourself. Therefore I did not receive my bonus shares.

b. As a result mostly of my own mistakes, I am left with 11,667 shares in my name and 500,000 shares in Francescas name (which are currently frozen). c. PLEASE FIND THE ATTACHED BOARD RESOLUTIONS SIGNED BY ALL DIRECTORS EXCEPT YOU. i. RESOLUTION: I dont have any shares to deliver so it is up to you to get the shares from Voyageur.

I hope that you understand unlike yourself, I will not kick you when you are down. Believe me I could easily go to the prime minister of Tunisia and other key officials with clear evidence and make your life difficult, however as my Muslim name suggests, I am merciful and instead chose to show you love and compassion.

I trust my brother, Hameed Mustafawi, please feel free to contact him. I am prepared to come to Abu Dhabi Wednesday this week to meet in person should you wish this.

Assalamu Alaikum Habibi.

Warmest Regards,

Darren Abdul Rahim Stevenson

Dear Slim: Please find the attached press release that has been sent to all media in Tunisia today as well as international media. Shame on you for not acknowledging what you did to Mongi Gharbi. I have copied my Tunisian lawyer, Ms. Hella Hamzaoui. I have also copied my personal security manager, Mr. Ali Sghaier. Mr Sghaier was born in the difficult part of La Marsa and spent 10 years living in the Bronx, New York where he worked as a security guard trained by the NYPD. Please don't send anyone to me such as your former security guard, Mondher, or anyone else. If you do, I will return the favour. May Allah forgive you for what you did to Mongi Gharbi, have a nice life and never approach me or my family.

Press Release For Immediate Release Friday, January 18, 2013

Slim Chiboub Denies a Tunisian Father One More Day with his 13 Year Old Daughter Dying of Cancer

Tunis - Tunisia: Darren Stevenson, A Canadian businessman who gave 500,000 shares of his Canadian oil and gas exploration company, Voyageur Oil and Gas Corporation to Slim Chiboub for free so that he would pay a Tunisian man as per a legal contract shown below in English with Arabic translation. This Tunisian man was owed 1.5 million shares of Voyageur by a partner in Voyageur and Slim's investment in Voyageur was denied by the Tunisian Central Bank until this matter was resolved. This man had a 13 year old daughter who was dying from a rare form of leukemia (Cancer) and wanted money instead of the shares. Chiboub saw a perfect opportunity to acquire shares nothing as he agreed to take a total of 1.5 million shares from the 3 founders of Voyageur including myself promising to resolve the matter with the Tunisian father, which he never did. While it is true Slim Chiboub did not kill this man's daughter, if he had fulfilled his legal obligation, perhaps this man's daughter would have lived one more day, HOW MUCH WOULD A FATHER PAY TO HAVE ONE MORE DAY WITH HIS DYING DAUGHTER???! SHAME ON YOU SLIM CHIBOUB I forgave Slim Chiboub for using his investment funds and influence to try and bankrupt the company so he could take the exploration asset for himself including taking control of the company bank account, obtaining an early extension for the exploration permit from the Tunisian Minister Responsible, firing all the Tunisian staff and wrongfully dismissing myself and other executives. Despite the fact that, as a result of Chiboub's behavior and actions, I lost everything and had to re start my life, I forgave him, visited him in UAE, prayed with him and tried to resolve this quietly. However for denying a father one more day with his dying daughter, I must do the right thing now. I will take Chiboub to court and expect the Tunisian government to help me as his assets are frozen and controlled by the government at moment. Any funds that I obtain from

this personally I will donate to charity for children with Cancer and other rare illnesses in Tunisia. For updates, visit: www.facebook.com/OneMoreDayTunisia

As such, we suggest that you and your legal counsel get in touch with "Commission nationale d'investigation sur la corruption et les malversations" which has been mandated to investigate the actions undertaken by the leaders and associates of the former regime. Commission nationale d'investigation sur la corruption et les malversations Avenue Khrddine Pacha Tunis 1002 Tel: +216 71 844 938 Should you have questions, please let me know. I look forward to meeting with you.
