Management Information Circular
for the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders
to be held on June 26, 2014

SOLICITATION OF PROXIES

This management information circular (the "Information Circular") is furnished by the officers and directors ("Management") of Advantage Oil & Gas Ltd. (the "Corporation" or "Advantage") in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the Corporation for use at the Annual General Meeting (the "Meeting") of the holders (the "Shareholders") of common shares (the "Shares" or the "Common Shares") to be held on the 26^th day of June, 2014 in Meeting Rooms 1 and 2 at the Ernst & Young Tower, 440 - 2^nd Avenue S.W., Calgary, Alberta at 1:30 p.m. (Calgary time) and at any adjournment(s) thereof, for the purposes set forth in the Notice of Annual General Meeting.

The Corporation is authorized to issue an unlimited number of Common Shares, each of which entitles the holder thereof to vote at meetings of Shareholders. Each Common Share outstanding on the Record Date (as defined below) is entitled to one vote.

The board of directors (the "Board") of the Corporation has fixed the record date for the Meeting at the close of business on May 9, 2014 (the "Record Date"). Shareholders of the Corporation whose names have been entered in the register of Shareholders at the close of business on that date will be entitled to receive notice of and to vote at the Meeting, even if the Shareholder has since that time disposed of his or her Shares, provided that, to the extent a Shareholder transfers the ownership of any of such Shareholder's Shares after such date and the transferee of those Shares establishes that the transferee owns the Shares and requests, not later than 10 days before the Meeting, to be included in the list of Shareholders eligible to vote at the Meeting, such transferee will be entitled to vote those Shares at the Meeting.

Unless otherwise stated, the information contained in this Information Circular is given as at May 9, 2014.

The instrument appointing a proxy shall be in writing and shall be executed by the Shareholder or his or her attorney authorized in writing or, if the Shareholder is a corporation, under its corporate seal or by an officer or attorney thereof duly authorized.

The persons named in the enclosed form of proxy are officers of the Corporation. Each Shareholder has the right to appoint a proxyholder other than the persons designated in the form of proxy furnished by the Corporation, who need not be a Shareholder, to attend and act for the Shareholder and on the Shareholder's behalf at the Meeting. To exercise such right, the names of the persons designated by Management should be crossed out and the name of the Shareholder's appointee should be legibly printed in the blank space provided. If you vote through the internet, you may also appoint another person to be your proxyholder. Please go to www.investorvote.com and follow the instructions.

REVOCABILITY OF PROXY

A Shareholder who has submitted a proxy may revoke it at any time prior to the exercise thereof. If a person who has given a proxy attends personally at the Meeting at which such proxy is to be voted, such person may revoke the proxy and vote in person. In addition to revocation in any other manner permitted by law, a proxy may be revoked by instrument in writing executed by the Shareholder or his or her attorney authorized in writing or, if the Shareholder is a corporation, under its corporate seal or by an officer or attorney thereof duly authorized and deposited either at the head office of the Corporation at any time up to and including the last business day preceding the day of the Meeting, or any adjournment(s) thereof, at which the proxy is to be used, or with the Chairman of the Meeting on the day of the Meeting, or any adjournment(s) thereof, and upon either of such deposits, the proxy is revoked.

PERSONS MAKING THE SOLICITATION

The solicitation is made on behalf of the Management of the Corporation. The costs incurred in the preparation and mailing of the form of proxy, Notice of Annual General Meeting and this Information Circular will be borne by the Corporation. In addition to solicitation by mail, proxies may be solicited by personal interviews, telephone or other means of communication and by directors, officers and employees of the Corporation, who will not be specifically remunerated therefor. The Corporation may pay the reasonable costs incurred by persons who are the registered but not beneficial owners of Shares (such as brokers, dealers, other registrants under applicable securities laws, nominees and/or custodians) in sending or delivering copies of this Information Circular, the Notice of Annual General Meeting and form of proxy to the beneficial owners of such Shares. The Corporation will provide, without cost to such persons, upon request to the Corporation, additional copies of the foregoing documents required for this purpose.

EXERCISE OF DISCRETION BY PROXY

The Shares represented by the form of proxy enclosed with the Notice of Annual General Meeting and this Information Circular will be voted or withheld from voting in accordance with the instructions of the Shareholder on any ballot that may be called for. If the Shareholder specifies a choice with respect to any matter to be acted upon, the Shares will be voted accordingly, but if no specification is made, the Shares will be voted in favour of the matters set forth in the proxy. If any amendments or variations are proposed at the Meeting or any adjournment thereof to matters set forth in the proxy and described in the accompanying Notice of Annual General Meeting and this Information Circular, or if any other matters properly come before the Meeting or any adjournment(s) thereof, the proxy confers upon the Shareholder's nominee discretionary authority to vote on such amendments or variations or such other matters according to the best judgment of the person voting the proxy at the Meeting. At the date of this Information Circular, Management of the Corporation knows of no such amendments or variations or other matters to come before the Meeting.

Advice to Beneficial Holders of Securities

The information set forth in this section is of significant importance to many Shareholders of the Corporation, as a substantial number of the Shareholders of the Corporation do not hold Shares in their own name. Shareholders who do not hold their Shares in their own name (referred to in this Information Circular as "Beneficial Shareholders") should note that only proxies deposited by Shareholders whose name appears on the records of the Corporation as a registered holder of Shares can be recognized and acted upon at the Meeting. If Shares are listed in an account statement provided to a Shareholder by a broker, then in almost all cases those Shares will not be registered in the Shareholder's name on the records of the Corporation. Such Shares will more likely be registered under the name of the Shareholder's broker or an agent of that broker. In Canada, the vast majority of such Shares are registered under the name of CDS & Co. (the registration name for CDS Clearing and Depository Services Inc., which acts as nominee for many Canadian brokerage firms). Shares held by brokers or their nominees can only be voted upon the instructions of the Beneficial Shareholder. Without specific instructions, brokers/nominees are prohibited from voting Shares for their clients. The Corporation does not know and cannot determine for whose benefit the Shares registered in the name of CDS & Co. are held.

Applicable regulatory policy requires intermediaries/brokers to seek voting instructions from Beneficial Shareholders in advance of Shareholders' meetings. Every intermediary/broker has its own mailing procedures and provides its own return instructions, which should be carefully followed by Beneficial Shareholders in order to ensure that their Shares are voted at the Meeting. Often, the form of proxy supplied to a Beneficial Shareholder by its broker is identical to the form of proxy provided to registered Shareholders. However, its purpose is limited to instructing the registered Shareholders how to vote on behalf of the Beneficial Shareholder. The majority of brokers now delegate responsibility for obtaining instructions from clients to Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. ("Broadridge"). Broadridge typically mails a scannable Voting Instruction Form in lieu of the form of Proxy. The Beneficial Holder is requested to complete and return the Voting Instruction Form to them by mail or facsimile. Alternatively, the Beneficial Shareholder can call a toll-free telephone number to vote the Shares held by the Beneficial Shareholder or the Beneficial Shareholder can complete an on-line voting form to vote their Shares. Broadridge then tabulates the results of all instructions received and provides appropriate instructions respecting the voting of the Shares to be represented at the Meeting.A Beneficial Shareholder receiving a Voting Instruction Form cannot use that Voting Instruction Form to vote Shares directly at the Meeting as the Voting Instruction Form must be returned as directed by Broadridge well in advance of the Meeting in order to have the Shares voted. If a Beneficial Shareholder wishes to vote indirectly at the Meeting, the registered Shareholder must strike out the name of the persons named in the instrument of proxy provided to the registered Shareholder and insert the name of the Beneficial Holder in the space provided and return the same to their broker (or the broker's agent) in accordance with the instructions provided by such broker (or agent), well in advance of the Meeting.

The Corporation is not using "notice-and-access" to send its proxy-related materials to Shareholders, and paper copies of such materials will be sent to all Shareholders, including Beneficial Shareholders. The Corporation will be delivering proxy-related materials to non-objecting Beneficial Shareholders with the assistance of Broadridge and the non-objecting Beneficial Shareholder's intermediary and intends to pay for the costs of an intermediary to deliver proxy related materials to objecting Beneficial Shareholders.

other matters

Reserves information contained in this Information Circular is based upon an evaluation (the "Sproule Report") prepared by Sproule Associates Limited ("Sproule") dated March 7, 2014 and effective December 31, 2013 and prepared in accordance with the standards contained in the Canadian Oil and Gas Evaluation Handbook and the reserves definitions contained in National Instrument 51-101 -Standards of Disclosure for Oil and Gas Activities. Reserves are stated on a gross (before royalties) working interest basis. In addition to the information disclosed in this Information Circular, more detailed reserves information on a net interest basis (after royalty burdens and including royalty interests) and on a gross interest basis (before royalty burdens and excluding royalty interests) and the forecast pricing used in such reserves information is included in the Corporation's Annual Information Form for the year ended December 31, 2013, which is available on the Corporation's profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com and the Corporation’s website at www.advantageog.com.

The term "boe" or barrels of oil equivalent may be misleading, particularly if used in isolation. A boe conversion ratio of six thousand cubic feet of natural gas to one barrel of oil equivalent (6 Mcf: 1 bbl) is based on an energy equivalency conversion method primarily applicable at the burner tip and does not represent a value equivalency at the wellhead. As the value ratio between natural gas and crude oil based on the current prices of natural gas and crude oil is significantly different from the energy equivalency of 6:1, utilizing a conversion on a 6:1 basis may be misleading as an indication of value. The term "mcfe" means thousand cubic feet of natural gas equivalent, using the ratio of 6 Mcf of natural gas being equivalent to 1 bbl of oil.

The Finding & Development ("F&D") costs contained herein are calculated based on the Sproule Report by adding capital expenditures, acquisitions net of dispositions and the net change in future development capital ("FDC") divided by reserve additions for the year. Advantage’s F&D cost and Finding, Development & Acquisitions Costs ("FD&A") in the last three years are the same. The aggregate of the exploration and development costs incurred in the most recent financial year and the change during that year in estimated FDC generally will not reflect total finding and development costs related to reserve additions for that year.

The recycle ratio contained herein is calculated as the Corporation's operating netback for its property at Glacier, Alberta for the fourth quarter of 2013, divided by F&D costs (reserves including FDC). Operating netback is calculated as revenue (including realized hedging gains and losses) minus royalties and operating expenses.

VOTING SECURITIES AND PRINCIPAL HOLDERS OF VOTING SECURITIES

The Corporation is authorized to issue an unlimited number of Shares. As at May 9, 2014, an aggregate of 169,363,262 Common Shares were issued and outstanding. At the Meeting, upon a show of hands, every Shareholder present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote shall have one vote. On a poll or ballot, every Shareholder present in person or by proxy has one vote for each Share of which such Shareholder is the registered holder.

The Board has fixed the Record Date for the Meeting at the close of business on May 9, 2014.

When any Share is held jointly by several persons, any one of them may vote at the Meeting in person or by proxy in respect of such Share, but if more than one of them shall be present at the Meeting in person or by proxy, and such joint owners of the proxy so present disagree as to any vote to be cast, the joint owner present or represented whose name appears first in the register of Shareholders maintained by the registrar and transfer agent shall be entitled to such vote.

To the best of the knowledge of the directors and executive officers of the Corporation as at May 9, 2014, other than as disclosed below, there is no person or corporation that beneficially owns or controls or directs, directly or indirectly, Shares carrying more than 10% of the voting rights attached to the issued and outstanding Shares. As at May 9, 2014, based on a Form SC 13G Filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on February 7, 2014, Donald Smith & Co., Inc. beneficially owns 16,953,110 Shares representing 10% of the voting rights attached to the issued and outstanding Shares.

quorum for meeting

At the Meeting, a quorum shall consist of persons present not being less than two (2) in number and holding or representing not less than five per cent (5%) of the Shares entitled to be voted at the Meeting.

APPROVAL REQUIREMENTS

All of the matters to be considered at the Meeting are ordinary resolutions requiring approval by more than 50% of the votes cast in respect of the resolution by or on behalf of Shareholders present in person or represented by proxy at the Meeting.

MATTERS TO BE ACTED UPON AT THE MEETING

Presentation of Financial Statements

At the Meeting, the audited consolidated financial statements of the Corporation for the year ended December 31, 2013 and the Auditor's Report on such statements will be placed before Shareholders, but no vote by the Shareholders with respect thereto is required or proposed to be taken.

Fixing the Number of Directors

At the Meeting, it is proposed that the number of directors of the Corporation to be elected at the Meeting be set at four (4), as may be adjusted between Shareholders' meetings by way of resolution of the Board. Accordingly, unless otherwise directed, it is the intention of Management to vote proxies in the accompanying form in favour of fixing the number of directors of the Corporation to be elected at the Meeting at four (4).

Majority Voting for Directors

The Board has adopted a policy stipulating that if the "WITHHOLD" votes in respect of the election of a director nominee at the Meeting represent more than the "FOR" votes, the nominee will submit his resignation promptly after the Meeting, for the Human Resources, Compensation and Corporate Governance Committee's consideration.

The Human Resources, Compensation and Corporate Governance Committee will consider such resignation and will make a recommendation to the Board after reviewing the matter as to whether to accept it or not, having regard to all matters it deems relevant. The Board will consider the recommendation and the Board's decision to accept or reject the resignation will be disclosed to the public within 90 days of the Meeting. The nominee will not participate in any committee or Board deliberations on the resignation offer. The policy does not apply in circumstances involving contested director elections.

Election of Directors

At the Meeting, Shareholders will be asked to vote "FOR" or "WITHHOLD" on the proposed directors set forth below to hold office until the next annual meeting or until their successors are elected or appointed. There are presently four (4) directors of the Corporation.

It is the intention of the Management designees, if named as proxy, to vote "FOR" the election of the following persons to the Board unless otherwise directed. Management does not contemplate that any of such nominees will be unable to serve as a director. However, if for any reason any of the proposed nominees does not stand for election or is unable to serve as such, the Management designees, if named as proxy, reserve the right to vote for any other nominee in their sole discretion unless a Shareholder has specified in their proxy that their Common Shares are to be withheld from voting on the election of directors.

Mr. McIntosh was appointed a director of post-reorganization Search on May 24, 2001.

(7)

Mr. McIntosh is a director of Fortress Energy Inc. ("Fortress"). On March 2, 2011, the Court of Queen’s Bench of Alberta granted an order (the "Order") under theCompanies’ Creditors Arrangement Act (Canada) ("CCAA") staying all claims and actions against Fortress and its assets and allowing Fortress to prepare a plan of arrangement for its creditors if necessary. Fortress took such step in order to enable Fortress to challenge a reassessment issued by the Canada Revenue Agency ("CRA"). As a result of the reassessment, if Fortress had not taken any action, it would have been compelled to immediately remit one half of the reassessment to the CRA and Fortress did not have the necessary liquid funds to remit, although Fortress had assets in excess of its liabilities with sufficient liquid assets to pay all other liabilities and trade payables. Fortress believed that the CRA’s position was not sustainable and vigorously disputed the CRA’s claim. Fortress filed a Notice of Objection to the reassessment and on October 20, 2011 announced that its Notice of Objection was successful, CRA having confirmed there were no taxes payable. As the CRA claim had been vacated and no taxes or penalties were owing Fortress no longer required the protection of the Order under the CCAA and on October 28,2011 the Order was removed. On March 3, 2011 the Toronto Stock Exchange ("TSX") suspended trading in the securities of Fortress due to Fortress having been granted a stay under the CCAA. In addition the securities regulatory authorities in Alberta, Ontario and Quebec issued a cease trade order with respect to Fortress for failure to file its annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2010 by March 31, 2011. The delay in filing was due to Fortress being granted the CCAA order on March 2, 2011 and the resulting additional time required by its auditors to deliver their audit opinion. The required financial statements and other continuous disclosure documents were filed on April 29, 2011 and the cease trade order was subsequently removed. On September 1, 2010 Fortress closed the sale of substantially all of its oil and gas assets. As a result of the sale Fortress was delisted from the TSX on March 30, 2011 as it no longer met minimum listing requirements. Fortress was renamed Alvopetro Inc. on November 24, 2012. Alvopetro Inc. was renamed Fortaleza Energy Inc. in November 2013.

As at May 9, 2014, the directors and executive officers of the Corporation, as a group, beneficially owned or controlled or directed, directly or indirectly, an aggregate of 1,589,496 Shares, being approximately 0.9% of the outstanding Shares. The information as to Shares beneficially owned or controlled or directed, directly or indirectly, is based upon information furnished to the Corporation by the respective nominees as at May 9, 2014.

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

Executive Summary

The executives and staff of the Corporation have made numerous corporate and operational achievements to transform Advantage into a pure Montney natural gas producer with an industry leading low cost structure and significant growth from its property at Glacier, Alberta.

During 2013, Advantage conducted an extensive and thorough strategic review of the alternatives available to it that included a broad global marketing effort to solicit interest in a sale of the Corporation or other transaction to maximize value for all Shareholders. With the formal conclusion of the strategic alternatives review process in February 2014, the Corporation commenced its three year Glacier development plan which targets strong per Share growth in production and cash flow within existing financial facilities.

Advantage has continued to achieve significant operational and financial success and key accomplishments which have advanced the Corporation’s strategy include:

strengthened the balance sheet by increasing the size of the Corporation’s borrowing base from $230 million to $300 million and repaying debt from disposing Advantage’s remaining non-core natural gas weighted assets and investments in Longview Oil Corp. ("Longview") and Questfire;

improved well productivity in the Upper, Middle and Lower Montney through modified drilling and completion techniques resulting in robust well economics across Glacier;

achieved Phase VI production target of 135 mmcfe/d approximately one month ahead of schedule and accelerated the Corporation's Phase VII drilling program;

established Advantage as an industry leading low cost Montney natural gas producer with reduced operating costs combined with an attractive low royalty rate and low general and administrative cash costs;

proved plus probable ("2P") reserve additions for the year ended December 31, 2013 were achieved at a finding and development cost of $1.33/mcfe ($7.99/boe) and a recycle ratio of 2.1x. The 2P finding and development cost for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 is $1.06/mcfe ($6.36/boe) and a recycle ratio of 2.7x;

proved ("1P") reserve additions for the year ended December 31, 2013 were achieved at a finding and development cost of $1.67/mcfe ($10.00/boe) and $1.43/mcfe ($8.58/boe) for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011;

replaced 840% of Glacier’s 2013 annual production, increased 2P reserves by 20% to 1.70 Tcfe, increased 2P natural gas liquids reserves by 393% to 13.0 million barrels, and proved reserves increased by 17% to 1.03 Tcfe;

undertook delineation drilling and significantly improved well productivity in the Upper, Middle and Lower Montney;

secured natural gas hedges to reduce volatility of future cash flows in support of Advantage's Glacier development plan; and

acquired an additional 43.25 net sections of Montney land holdings in the Valhalla and Wembley areas that complement Advantage's core Glacier holding and increases Advantage's total net Montney acreage to 120 net sections.

Total compensation decreased during 2013 as compared to prior years for the current executives and staff of the Corporation due to a trading blackout associated with the ongoing strategic alternatives review process. As a result, Advantage was restricted in granting equity-based long term incentive compensation to staff. Salary increases in 2013 were also below industry average due to the corporate initiatives that were undertaken. Additional severance costs were incurred in 2013 related to asset dispositions and management changes. Advantage has compensated executives and staff for the reduction in equity-based long term incentive compensation with a grant of stock options ("Options" or "Stock Options") and performance awards ("Performance Awards") in 2014.

General

This Compensation Discussion and Analysis describes the executive compensation program for the financial year ended December 31, 2013 applicable to Advantage's President and Chief Executive Officer ("CEO"), Vice President Finance and Chief Financial Officer ("CFO"), former CFO, and the three (3) other most highly compensated executive officers of Advantage who were serving as executive officers at December 31, 2013 and whose total salary and bonus exceeds $150,000 (collectively referred to as the "Named Executive Officers" or "NEOs"). Advantage’s executive management was reduced from a total of six officers to three officers in 2013. The current NEOs are Mr. Andy Mah, President and CEO, Mr. Craig Blackwood, Vice President Finance and CFO, and Mr. Neil Bokenfohr, Senior Vice President.

This Compensation Discussion and Analysis discusses the objectives of Advantage’s executive compensation program, the roles and responsibilities of Advantage's Human Resources, Compensation and Corporate Governance Committee (the "Compensation Committee") in determining and approving executive compensation, Advantage's philosophy and process for executive compensation, and the elements of compensation.

Technical Services Agreement with Longview Oil Corp.

During the year ended December 31, 2013, Advantage and Longview were parties to a Technical Services Agreement (the "TSA") dated April 14, 2011. Under the TSA, Advantage provided the necessary personnel and technical services to manage Longview's business and Longview reimbursed Advantage on a monthly basis for its share of general and administrative charges based on respective levels of oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids ("NGLs") production. The TSA was terminated by both companies effective February 1, 2014.

Subject to reimbursement by Longview as provided for under the TSA, Advantage was solely responsible for payment of all salaries, consulting fees, benefits and expenses (including severance or termination payments and related expenses) of the Named Executive Officers, including, but not limited to, all source deductions, remittances and assessments such as income tax, employment insurance premiums, Canada Pension Plan contributions, provincial health care contributions and Workers' Compensation contributions and assessments and any other employee benefits. Except as required by the TSA, which provided for a sharing formula for general and administrative expenses based on the relative oil, natural gas and NGLs production of each of Advantage and Longview, Longview was not required to make any direct payments to a Named Executive Officer. The officers of Longview were paid a salary by Advantage and pursuant to, and in accordance with, the TSA and the formula set out therein, a portion of salary was reimbursed by Longview. In addition, all salaries and salary increases for the Named Executive Officers were reviewed and approved in accordance with the terms of the TSA.

Unless otherwise indicated, the disclosure herein of salaries, bonuses, share-based compensation, benefits, and all other compensation received by the Named Executive Officers only reflects compensation received by such Named Executive Officers attributable to Advantage and does not include the portions of such compensation which were reimbursed to Advantage by Longview pursuant to the TSA.

For information in respect of the compensation paid by Advantage to the Named Executive Officers that was attributable to Longview, see page 28 hereof.

Compensation Objectives and Principles

The overall philosophy of Advantage is to provide a compensation program that aligns with shareholder interests and attracts and retains high quality and experienced executives and employees. Advantage believes that compensation should be fair and equitable compared to compensation paid generally in the oil and gas industry.

The principal objectives of Advantage's executive compensation program for the financial year ended December 31, 2013 were as follows:

(a)

to attract, motivate and retain the management talent needed to achieve Advantage's business objectives and create long-term value for Shareholders;

(b)

provide compensation which is competitive in the market place;

(c)

to motivate performance of Named Executive Officers and to attempt to align the Named Executives' interests with those of the Shareholders; and

(d)

to reward leadership and performance in the achievement of business objectives.

The Compensation Committee utilized Mercer (Canada) Limited's ("Mercer")2013 compensation survey data and considered the compensation practices of other companies operating in the same geographic locations as the Corporation, the Corporation's operating and financial performance in comparison to its peers, and its budgeted operations and objectives in determining the compensation to be paid to the Named Executive Officers.

Mandate of the Compensation Committee

The Compensation Committee assists the Board in meeting their responsibilities by:

reviewing and reporting to the directors concerning the overall compensation program and philosophy;

reviewing and recommending to the directors the compensation program, remuneration levels and incentive plans and any changes therein for senior management, including the chief executive officer;

reviewing and approving corporate goals and objectives relevant to CEO compensation, evaluating the CEO's performance in light of those goals and objectives, and either, as a Committee or together with the independent directors (as determined by the board), determining and approving the CEO's compensation based on this evaluation;

making recommendations to the directors with respect to compensation of executive officers other than the CEO and incentive compensation and equity based plans that are subject to board approval;

reviewing the adequacy and form of compensation to the directors ensuring it realistically reflects their responsibilities and risk and making recommendations to the directors;

reviewing and evaluating management's recommendations as to the allocation of Options under the Option Plan (as defined herein) and formulating a recommendation to the directors for approval;

reviewing annually and recommending for approval to the directors the executive compensation disclosure in the "Compensation Discussion and Analysis" section of the Corporation's information circular;

reviewing annually the Compensation Committee's Terms of Reference;

administering the Option Plan and any other incentive plans implemented by the Corporation, in accordance with their respective terms;

producing a report on executive officer compensation on an annual basis; and

succession planning in respect of senior executives and providing guidance in respect of executive capacity.

In early 2014, the Compensation Committee retained Mercer to assist the Board and the Compensation Committee in reviewing and determining the compensation of executive officers of the Corporation. Mercer reviewed the competitiveness and appropriateness of the Corporation's compensation practices as compared to a selected peer group of 24 companies and provided observations and made recommendations for change, where appropriate. As a result of this review, the Board and the Compensation Committee implemented a restricted and performance award incentive plan (the "Award Plan") for all employees excluding non-management directors and a deferred share unit plan (the "DSU Plan") for non-management directors. See "Compensation Discussion and Analysis – Changes to Compensation in 2014" in this Information Circular. No fees were billed by Mercer to the Corporation in the last two most recently completed financial years and no other compensation advisors were retained by the Corporation in the last two most recently completed financial years.

Compensation Committee Review Process

The Compensation Committee reviewed the compensation of the Named Executive Officers for the year ended December 31, 2013 to ensure that such compensation attracted and retained a strong management team and recommended to the Board for approval the compensation of such Named Executive Officers. The Compensation Committee, when making salary determinations, considers individual salaries paid to executives of other issuers within the oil and gas industry as published by Mercer who regularly review compensation practices in Canada, industry reports and surveys, and by review of peer companies. The peer organizations determined in this analysis and benchmarked against, from the 2013 Mercer Total Compensation Survey for the Energy Sector dated effective April 1, 2013, operate in similar business environments to Advantage with between 10,000 and 100,000 barrels of oil equivalent production per day (the "Mercer Survey"). They also have executive management positions similar to those within Advantage that reflect the scope of responsibilities required at the executive level. The Corporation generally targets each employee’s total compensation at approximately the 50^th percentile as compared to a comparable position in the Mercer Survey.

Components of Compensation

Total compensation for the Named Executive Officers in 2013 consisted of base salary, bonuses, retention amounts, certain perquisites and benefits including contributions to the employee share purchase plan of Advantage (the "Purchase Plan"), and Stock Options. For the Named Executive Officers, total compensation was lower in 2013 compared to 2012; however, cash compensation as a percentage of total compensation increased as a direct result of lower equity incentive compensation that was granted. The details of compensation are as follows:

Components of Compensation	2013			2012
Cash Compensation:
Salary		35	%		20	%
Bonuses		19	%		7	%
Retention Amounts		11	%		-
Perquisites and Benefits		4	%		2	%
Equity Incentive Compensation:
Options		31	%		71	%

Advantage’s compensation in 2011 included a restricted share performance incentive plan ("RSPIP"), which was not re-approved by Shareholders within the three year period required by the TSX, and as a result, the RSPIP expired in May, 2012. As a result, the Corporation could not grant any further restricted shares ("Restricted Shares") under the RSPIP, such that there were no Restricted Shares granted in 2012 or 2013 and there are no Restricted Shares outstanding.

The Compensation Committee endeavours to find an appropriate balance between fixed and variable compensation and cash versus equity incentive compensation. Cash compensation (base salary, benefits and perquisites and a discretionary annual bonus) primarily rewards short term internal and individual performance measures. Equity incentive rewards align the Corporation with market performance and encourages the Named Executive Officers to deliver improved corporate performance over a longer period of time such that the Corporation’s value continues to grow.

The Compensation Committee reviews the evaluation and compensation data and consults with the CEO before making a determination to recommend approval of or changes to compensation to the full Board.

In assessing individual executive performance, consideration is given to factors such as level of responsibility, experience and expertise, as well as more subjective factors such as leadership and performance in such Named Executive Officer's specific role. The Compensation Committee also considers quantitative factors in determining compensation of Named Executive Officers such as financial and operational results, reserves growth, staff development, corporate governance, environmental health and safety and the vision and growth strategy of the Corporation.For annual long-term incentive awards, the Compensation Committee primarily considers a Named Executive Officer's potential for future high-quality performance and leadership as part of the executive management team, taking into account past performances as a key indicator.

Risk Adjusted Compensation

As part of its review of the Corporation's compensation program for the year ended December 31, 2013, the Compensation Committee considered whether the compensation program provided executive officers of the Corporation with adequate incentives to achieve both short and long term objectives without motivating them to take inappropriate or excessive risks. This assessment was based on a number of considerations including, without limitation, the following:

a total compensation program appropriately balanced between fixed and variable compensation and short term and long term compensation designed to reward individual performance and encourage delivery of favourable results over both a short term and a longer term period of time;

the terms of the Corporation's stock option plan ("Option Plan") provides that Options vest as determined by the Board with an expiration date between three and five years from the date of grant. This encourages executive officers to continue to develop favourable results over a longer period of time and reduces the risk of actions which may have short term advantages;

a portion of executive compensation in the form of bonuses is not guaranteed and is variable year over year. The Board has discretion to pay bonuses to Named Executive Officers based on recommendations made by the Compensation Committee, which are based on internal corporate, administrative, operating and financial and reserve addition performance as compared to annual quantitative and qualitative targets;

the Corporation's compensation program for certain executive officers is not structured significantly different from the compensation program for other executive officers within the Corporation;

the overall compensation program is market based and aligned with the Corporation's business plan and long-term strategies; and

certain share ownership guidelines and policies that have been implemented by the Corporation for the NEOs. See"Compensation Discussion and Analysis – Share Ownership Policies" in this Information Circular.

The Compensation Committee has not identified any risks that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Corporation.

Salary

Named Executive Officers' salaries are reviewed annually and are established taking into consideration individual salaries as compared to those paid to executives of other companies within the oil and gas industry determined using the Mercer Survey. Base salaries are designed to provide income certainty and to attract and retain executive management. The process undertaken by the Compensation Committee to determine the CEO's salary requires that the CEO receive an industry competitive salary, as approved by the Board. The CEO's salary level was maintained below the median range for oil and gas issuers similar to Advantage in 2013 due to the Corporation’s strategic review process.

Bonus Plan

The Board has discretion to pay bonuses to Named Executive Officers based upon recommendations made by the Compensation Committee, which, after review and consideration of submissions in that regard by the CEO, makes a recommendation to the Board for approval. The payment of annual bonuses is designed to reward exceptional performance of the Named Executive Officers and is not based on defined goals and objectives. The Compensation Committee and Board will give appropriate consideration to a variety of quantitative and qualitative factors including, but not limited to, internal corporate, administrative, operating, financial, health, safety and environment, and reserve addition performance.

Key accomplishments which factored into the bonus determination include the accomplishments listed on page 10 of this Information Circular under the heading "Executive Compensation – Compensation Discussion and Analysis – Executive Summary", as well as the following:

the Corporation met or exceeded all key budget parameters for the year ended December 31, 2013, including production targets, operating cost reductions, operating cash flow, finding and development costs and capital spending;

the termination of the TSA in February 2014 led to the corporate activities of Advantage and Longview being disengaged. This resulted in a significant reduction in the number of Advantage employees and a reduction in general and administrative costs;

the Corporation achieved a score of 98% in the Certificate of Recognition program, which requires commitment to continuous improvement in the environment, health and safety management practices including sound planning and implementation. Only 45 companies achieved this certification in 2013;

there were no lost time incidents in 2013 and the Corporation completed the AER Enhanced Production Audit Program with a compliance rating for Glacier of 100% satisfactory, which exceeds the industry average of 84%; and

Advantage's spill volumes in 2013 were negligible.

Bonuses paid to the Named Executive Officers for the year ended December 31, 2013, totalled $725,000. Retention amounts represent a deferred bonus paid to the Named Executive Officers during the year ended December 31, 2013 totalling $403,393.

Long Term Compensation

The Corporation’s long term compensation consists primarily of equity based awards. This encourages executive officers to continue to develop favourable results over a longer period of time and reduces the risk of actions which may have short term advantages.

Options

The Option Plan grants Options to purchase Common Shares to directors, officers and employees of, and consultants to the Corporation (collectively the "Optionees"). The purpose of the Option Plan is to develop the interest of the directors, officers and employees of, and consultants to Advantage and any of its controlled entities in the growth and development of Advantage by providing them with the opportunity to acquire a proprietary interest in Advantage. See "Option-based Awards – Stock Option Plan" below.

Other Compensation

Employee Share Purchase Plan

Advantage provides a Purchase Plan pursuant to which all full-time employees of Advantage may contribute for investment under the Purchase Plan, an amount of their regular base salary ranging from a minimum of 0% to a maximum of 5% (based upon 1% increments), excluding bonuses, deferred compensation, overtime pay, statutory holiday pay or any special incentive compensation payments. Advantage will then match the contribution on a 2:1 basis. Advantage uses the contributions to acquire Common Shares on behalf of the employees through open market purchases at the current market price on the TSX. Advantage's Named Executive Officers are eligible to participate in the Purchase Plan on the same basis as all other full-time employees of Advantage. For the year ended December 31, 2013,$172,167 was contributed by Advantage to match the contributions of the Named Executive Officers.

Perquisites and Benefits

In order to attract and retain high quality executive talent and offer competitive levels of compensation, Advantage provides certain perquisites and benefits to the Named Executive Officers. Perquisites and benefits are reviewed periodically to ensure an appropriate benefit level is maintained. Executive officers are eligible for benefits paid by Advantage, including life insurance, accidental death and dismemberment, short-term disability, long-term disability, supplementary medical, dental and paid parking.

Share Ownership Policies

In 2014, the Board adopted a mandatory share ownership policy for executive officers, which provides that executive officers (other than the Chief Executive Officer) are required to acquire and hold equity securities of the Corporation with a minimum aggregate market value of two times their annual base salary. The Chief Executive Officer is required to acquire and hold equity securities of the Corporation with a minimum aggregate market value of three times his annual base salary. Executive officers will have a period of five (5) years from the date of the implementation of the policy, or from the date of their appointment as an executive officer of the Corporation, whichever is later, to acquire the value required and compliance with such policy will be confirmed on December 31 of each year. Although this policy was not effective as at December 31, 2013, the current NEOs all complied with this mandatory share ownership policy as depicted in the following table:

Name	Mandatory minimum share ownership value ⁽¹⁾ ($)		Actual Share Ownership value ⁽²⁾ ($)		Actual Share Ownership value as a Multiple of Annual Salary ⁽³⁾
Andy Mah		1,174,251		2,390,792		6.1	x
Neil Bokenfohr		508,334		1,592,359		6.3	x
Craig Blackwood		451,000		768,694		3.4	x

Notes:

(1)

Represents two times the annual base salary for Neil Bokenfohr and Craig Blackwood and three times the annual base salary for Andy Mah.

(2)

The value is calculated based on the number of Shares owned at December 31, 2013 multiplied by the market price of Shares at December 31, 2013, being $4.61 per Share.

(3)

Represents the actual share ownership value divided by annual base salary.

Pursuant to Advantage's Disclosure, Confidentiality and Trading Policy, directors and NEOs shall not knowingly sell, directly or indirectly, a security of the Corporation if such person selling such security does not own or has not fully paid for the security to be sold. In addition, directors and NEOs shall not directly or indirectly buy or sell a call or put in respect of a security of the Corporation. Notwithstanding these prohibitions, a director or NEO may sell a security which such person does not own if such person owns another security convertible into such security or an option or right to acquire such security sold and within 10 days after the sale, such person: (i) exercises the conversion privilege, option or right and delivers the securities so associated to the purchaser; or (ii) transfers the convertible security, option or right, if transferable, to the purchaser.

Other than as disclosed above, Advantage does not have any written policies which prohibit a NEO or director from purchasing financial instruments, including, for greater certainty, prepaid variable forward contracts, equity swaps, collars, or units of exchange funds, that are designed to hedge or offset a decrease in market value of equity securities granted as compensation or held, directly or indirectly, by the NEO or director.

Performance Graph

The following graph illustrates our five year cumulative Shareholder return, as measured by the closing price of the Trust Units and Common Shares, as applicable, at the end of each financial year, assuming an initial investment of $100 on December 31, 2008, compared to the S&P/TSX Composite Index and the S&P/TSX Capped Energy Indexassuming the reinvestment of distributions of Advantage Energy Income Fund (the "Trust"), where applicable.

	12/31/2008		12/31/2009		12/31/2010		12/30/2011		12/31/2012		12/31/2013
Advantage		100		137		134		84		63		91
S&P/TSX Capped Energy Index		100		142		158		135		128		145
S&P/TSX Composite Index		100		135		159		145		155		176

In 2009, we announced the discontinuance of monthly distributions in conjunction with our intention to convert to a growth-oriented corporation. Our conversion to a corporation was approved by the unitholders of the Trust and completed in July 2009. Since becoming a corporation, the Share price performance improved during 2009 and was relatively stable throughout much of 2010. However, during 2011 and 2012 natural gas prices declined dramatically and as a result, the adverse natural gas pricing environment placed considerable downward pressure on the Corporation’s financial results and corresponding Share price, regardless of significant organizational accomplishments. The natural gas pricing environment began to improve during 2013 with a considerable improvement at year end due to the beginning of a cold and prolonged winter that has now reduced inventory levels well below the five year average. This change in the natural gas price environment in combination with our significant corporate, operational and financial accomplishments has had a positive impact on our Share price at December 31, 2013.

Since our conversion to a corporation in 2009, we have been focused on improving Advantage’s financial flexibility through strengthening the balance sheet while developing our signature Glacier Montney natural gas resource play. In 2009 we completed two asset dispositions, an equity financing and an issuance of convertible debentures and in 2010 we completed two additional asset dispositions. During 2011, Longview completed an initial public offering of common shares and in 2012 we completed a secondary offering of Longview common shares. In August 2012, we began a comprehensive disposition process to market for sale all remaining Advantage non-core assets, excluding Advantage’s core Glacier Montney natural gas assets. Advantage completed three disposition transactions in 2012 and two disposition transactions in 2013 which, on a combined basis, constituted the sale of substantially all remaining non-core assets. In early 2014, Advantage closed the sale of its remaining investment in Longview and in the second quarter of 2014, completed the disposition of its investments in Questfire. All net proceeds received from the various recapitalization and disposition transactions were utilized to reduce outstanding bank indebtedness. Advantage is now a pure play company focused on our Glacier Montney property.

Executive compensation has decreased in the last three years due to reduced Share price performance driven primarily by lower natural gas prices. Subsequent to the conversion and reorganization of Advantage from the Trust to a growth corporation in 2009, Share price performance and operating and financial results improved from 2009 through early 2010 and NEOs total compensation was positively impacted through the issuance of equity incentives. However, Advantage's Share price decreased during 2011 and 2012 primarily due to the significant reduction in natural gas prices that adversely impacted our financial results. Consequently, NEOs total compensation decreased from 2010 to 2013 due to lower equity-based compensation. In 2013, Advantage realized numerous corporate and operational achievements; however, total compensation decreased significantly as compared to prior years due to an imposed trading blackout associated with the strategic alternatives review process. As a result, Advantage was unable to grant the appropriate amount of equity-based long term compensation to the NEOs to meet targeted total compensation levels as established by the Compensation Committee. Advantage has compensated executives and staff for the reduction in equity-based long term incentive compensation in 2013 with a grant of Stock Options and Performance Awards in 2014.

Option-Based Awards

Applicable Canadian securities legislation defines an "option-based award" as an award under an equity incentive plan of options, including share options, share appreciation rights and similar instruments that have option-like features.

The Option Plan grants option-based awards to Optionees and for the year ended December 31, 2013, Advantage granted option-based awards to certain executive officers and directors of the Corporation.

Stock Option Plan

Eligibility

The Option Plan provides for the granting of Options to purchase Common Shares to directors, officers and employees of, and consultants to the Corporation.

Administration

The Option Plan is administered by the Board.

Limitations to the Option Plan

Unless otherwise approved by Shareholders, the aggregate number of Common Shares that may be issued pursuant to the exercise of Options awarded under the Option Plan and all other share compensation arrangements of Advantage is 10% of the Common Shares outstanding from time to time. If any Options granted under the Option Plan shall expire, terminate or be cancelled for any reason without having been exercised in full, any unpurchased Common Shares to which such Options relate shall be available for the purposes of the granting of further Options under the Option Plan.

In addition to the limit on the aggregate number of Common Shares that may be issued pursuant to the exercise of Options awarded under the Option Plan:

the number of Common Shares issued to any one person upon exercise of Options awarded under the Option Plan and all other established or proposed share compensation arrangements of Advantage shall not exceed 10% of the outstanding Common Shares;

the number of Common Shares reserved for issuance at any time or issued within one year, pursuant to the Option Plan and all other established or proposed share compensation arrangements of Advantage, to Insiders (as defined in the Option Plan) shall not exceed 10% of the outstanding Common Shares and the number of Common Shares issued within one year, pursuant to the Option Plan and all other established or proposed share compensation arrangements of Advantage, to any one Insider and such Insider's associates shall not exceed 10% of the outstanding Common Shares; and

the participation of non-management directors in the Option Plan is limited to the lesser of: (a) 1.0% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares, in aggregate, for all non-management directors; and (b) an annual equity award value for each non-management director of $100,000, with the value of each Option calculated at the time of grant. All Common Shares issued to non-management directors upon the exercise of Options under the Option Plan must be held by the particular non-management director until the earlier of: (a) three (3) years from the date of issuance of such Common Shares; and (b) the retirement from the Board of the non-management director.

In determining the number of Common Shares issued within one year, the number of Common Shares will be determined on the basis of the number of Common Shares that are outstanding immediately prior to the Common Share issuance, excluding any Common Shares issued pursuant to share compensation arrangements of Advantage over the preceding one-year period.

Vesting of Options

The Board may, in its sole discretion, determine the time during which Options shall vest and the method of vesting, or that no vesting restriction shall exist either before or after the date of grant.

Expiry Date

All Options granted pursuant to the Option Plan will expire on a date (the "Expiry Date") as determined by the Board at the time of the grant. In April, 2014, the Board approved an amendment to the Option Plan to provide that the Expiry Date of any new Options that are granted pursuant to the Option Plan cannot be more than five years from the time of the grant. In accordance with the Option Plan, approval of Shareholders was not required for the amendment. Any Options which have not been exercised by the Expiry Date shall expire and become null and void.

Notwithstanding the foregoing:

(a)

if the Expiry Date of any Option falls within:

(i)

any Blackout Period (as defined below) (the "Restricted Options"), then the Expiry Date of such Restricted Options shall, without any further action, be extended to the last day of the Black-Out Extension Term (as defined below); and

(ii)

a period that an Optionee (other than an Insider) is on a Leave of Absence (as defined below), the Expiry Date shall, without any further action, be extended to the last day of the Leave Extension Term (as defined below).

The foregoing extensions apply to all Options whatever the date of grant and shall not be considered an extension of the term of the Options as referred to in the Option Plan. Unless approved by the Board, no Options may be exercised by an Optionee during a Blackout Period;

(b)

unless otherwise determined by the Board or unless otherwise expressly set forth in a Option Agreement (as defined below), pertaining to a particular Option or any written employment or consulting agreement governing an Optionee, if the Optionee ceases to be a director, officer or employee of Advantage for any reason whatsoever, other than the death or disability (as contemplated under (c) below), the Optionee may, prior to the Expiry Date and within 30 days after the Cessation Date (as defined below), exercise the Options which have vested on or prior to the Cessation Date, after which time the Option shall terminate; and

(c)

unless otherwise determined by the Board or unless otherwise expressly set forth in a Option Agreement pertaining to a particular Option or any written employment or consulting agreement governing an Optionee, if the Optionee ceases to be a director, officer or employee of Advantage as a result of the death or disability of the Optionee, the Optionee or the Optionee's personal representative or estate may, prior to the Expiry Date and within six months after the Cessation Date (as defined in the Option Plan), exercise the Options held by the Optionee which have vested during or prior to the six month period, after which time the Option shall terminate.

In the Option Plan, the following terms have the following meanings:

"Black-Out Extension Term"means ten (10) Business Days from the date that any Black-Out Period ends;

"Black-Out Period"means a period of time imposed by the Board pursuant to the Insider Trading and Disclosure Policy of Advantage upon certain designated persons during which those persons may not trade in any securities of Advantage;

"Cessation Date" means the date of the Optionee's termination of, or resignation from, active employment with Advantage, regardless of whether adequate or proper advance notice of termination or resignation shall have been provided in respect of such cessation of being. For greater certainty, a transfer of employment or services between Advantage and any of its subsidiaries or between any subsidiaries of Advantage shall not be considered an interruption or termination of the employment of an Optionee for any purpose of the Option Plan;

"Leave of Absence" means a period of time designated as a "leave of absence" by the Board which is in excess of three months; and

"Leave Extension Term" means that portion of the duration of the period of the Leave of Absence that is in excess of three (3) months plus ten (10) Business Days from the date that any Leave of Absence ends provided the Leave Extension Term shall not exceed one year from the Expiry Date.

Exercise Price

The exercise price (the "Exercise Price") of any Option granted pursuant to the Option Plan shall be fixed by the Board when the Option is granted, provided that such price shall not be less than the Market Price of the Common Shares on the date of the grant. "Market Price", on any date, shall be the volume weighted average trading price of the Common Shares on the Exchange for the five trading days prior to the date of grant (or, if the Common Shares are not then listed and posted for trading on the Exchange, such price as is required by such stock exchange in Canada on which such Common Shares are listed and posted for trading as may be selected for such purpose by the Board). In the event that the Common Shares are not listed and posted for trading on any stock exchange in Canada, the Exercise Price shall be determined by the Board in its sole discretion.

Assignability

The right to receive Common Shares pursuant to a Option to an Optionee may only be exercised by such Optionee personally or through the Optionee's personal representative or estate and no assignment, sale, transfer, pledge or charge of a Option, whether voluntary, involuntary, by operation of law or otherwise (except by will or the laws of descent and distribution), vests any interest or right in such Option whatsoever in any assignee or transferee and, immediately upon any assignment, sale, transfer, pledge or charge or attempt to assign, sell, transfer, pledge or charge, such Option shall terminate and be of no further force or effect.

Exercise of Option

Subject to the Option Plan and the applicable Option Agreement (as defined in the Option Plan), the Optionee may:

(a)

exercise from time to time by delivery to Advantage, at its head office in Calgary, Alberta, a written notice of exercise ("Exercise Notice") specifying the number of Common Shares with respect to which the Option is being exercised and accompanied by payment in full of the purchase price of the Common Shares then being purchased. Upon exercise of the Option, Advantage will, within 7 days following receipt of the Exercise Notice and payment of the purchase price, cause to be delivered to the Optionee a certificate or certificates, representing such Common Shares in the name of the Optionee or the Optionee's legal personal representative or otherwise as the Optionee may or representative may in writing direct; or

(b)

exercise the right (the "Put Right") from time to time to require Advantage to purchase all or any part of the Options of the Optionee by delivery to Advantage, at its head office in Calgary, Alberta, a written notice of exercise ("Put Notice") specifying the number of Options with respect to which the Put Right is being exercised. Upon the exercise of the Put Right, Advantage will purchase from the Optionee all of the Options specified in the Put Notice at a purchase price (the "Purchase Price") equal to the excess of the Current Market Price, determined on the date of receipt of the Put Notice by Advantage (the "Notice Date"), over the Exercise Price for each Option being purchased under the Put Right. Upon the exercise of the Put Right, Advantage will, at its sole election, cause to be delivered to the Optionee either: (A) a cheque or electronic deposit representing the Purchase Price; or (B) that number of Common Shares that represent a monetary value equal to the Purchase Price, within five business days of the Notice Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Advantage may at its sole discretion decline to accept the exercise of a Put Right at any time.

For purposes of the above provision, the Current Market Price means the volume weighted average trading price of the Common Shares on the Exchange for the five trading days prior to the Notice Date on which at least one board lot traded as reported by the Exchange.

Effect of Certain Changes

In the event:

(a)

of any change in the Common Shares through subdivision, consolidation, reclassification, amalgamation, merger or otherwise; or

(b)

that, as a result of any recapitalization, merger, consolidation or other transaction, the Common Shares are converted into or exchangeable for any other securities,

then, in any such case, the Board may make such adjustments to the Option Plan, to any Options and to any Option Agreements outstanding under the Option Plan as may be appropriate in the circumstances (including changing the Common Shares covered by each Option into other securities on the same basis as Common Shares are converted into or exchangeable for such securities in any such transaction) to prevent dilution or enlargement of the rights granted to Optionees hereunder.

Take-over Bids

If approved by the Board, Option Agreements may provide that, whenever Shareholders receive a take-over bid (as defined in theSecurities Act (Alberta)), which is not exempt from the take-over bid requirements of Part 13 of theSecurities Act (Alberta) (or its replacement or successor provisions) (a "Take-Over Proposal"), such Options may be exercised as to all or any of the Common Shares in respect of which such Option has not previously been exercised (including in respect of Common Shares not otherwise vested at such time) by the Optionee (the "Take-over Acceleration Right"), but any such Option not otherwise vested and deemed only to have vested in accordance with the foregoing may only be exercised for the purposes of tendering to such Take-Over Proposal. If for any reason any such Common Shares are not so tendered or, if tendered, are not, for any reason taken up and paid for by the offeree pursuant to the Take-Over Proposal, any such Common Shares so purchased by the Optionee shall be deemed to be cancelled and returned to the treasury of Advantage, and shall be added back to the number of Common Shares, if any, remaining unexercised under the Option (and shall thus be available for exercise of the Option in accordance with the terms thereof) and upon presentation to Advantage of share certificates representing such Common Shares properly endorsed for transfer back to Advantage, Advantage shall refund to the Optionee all consideration paid by him or her in the initial purchase thereof. The Take-over Acceleration Right shall commence at such time as is determined by the Board, provided that, if the Board approves the Take-over Acceleration Right but does not determine commencement and termination dates regarding same, the Take-over Acceleration Right shall commence on the date of the Take-over Proposal and end on the earlier of the expiry time of the Option and the tenth (10th) day following the expiry date of the Take-over Proposal. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Take-over Acceleration Right may be extended for such longer period as the Board may resolve.

Change of Control

Notwithstanding any other provision in the Option Plan and any Option Agreements, if there takes place a Change of Control, as defined below, at any time before the Expiry Date, Advantage shall give notice of such Change of Control to all Optionees. Each Optionee shall have the right, whether or not such notice is given to it by Advantage, to exercise all Options to purchase all of the Common Shares optioned to them (whether vested or unvested), which have not previously been purchased in accordance with the Option Plan and any Option Agreements. All Options not exercised prior to the effective date determined by the Board shall be deemed to have been cancelled and shall be of no further force or effect. If for any reason such Change of Control is not effected, any such Common Shares so purchased by an Optionee shall be, and be deemed to be, cancelled and returned to the treasury of Advantage, shall be added back to the number of Options, if any, remaining unexercised and upon presentation to Advantage of the Common Share certificates representing such Common Shares properly endorsed for transfer back to Advantage, Advantage shall refund the Optionee all consideration paid by the Optionee in the initial purchase thereof.

In the Option Plan, a "Change of Control" means:

(a)

the acceptance and sale by the Shareholders representing in the aggregate more than fifty (50%) percent of all issued and outstanding Common Shares of any offer, whether by way of a takeover bid or otherwise, for all or any of the Common Shares; or

(b)

the acquisition, by whatever means (including, without limitation, amalgamation, arrangement, consolidation or merger), by a person (or two or more persons who in such acquisition have acted jointly or in concert or intend to exercise jointly or in concert any voting rights attaching to the Common Shares), directly or indirectly, of the beneficial ownership of such number of Common Shares or rights to acquire Common Shares, which together with such person's then owned Common Shares or rights to acquire Common Shares, if any, represent (assuming the full exercise of such rights to acquire Common Shares) more than fifty (50%) percent of the combined voting rights of the Common Shares, together with the Common Shares that would be outstanding on the full exercise of the rights to acquire Common Shares and such person's previously owned rights to acquire Common Shares; or

(c)

the closing of a transaction whereby Advantage merges, consolidates, amalgamates, is arranged or absorbed by or into another person, and as a result of such transaction, the Shareholders prior to the transaction, as the case may be, own directly or indirectly less than 50% of the equity of the entity resulting from the transaction; or

(d)

the passing of a resolution by the Board, or Shareholders to substantially liquidate its assets or wind-up its business or significantly rearrange its affairs in one or more transactions or series of transactions or the commencement of proceedings for such a liquidation, winding-up or re-arrangement; or

(e)

individuals who were members of the Board immediately prior to a meeting of the shareholders of Advantage involving a contest for the election of directors, shall not constitute a majority of the board of directors following such election; or

(f)

the sale or disposition by Advantage of all or substantially all of its assets located at Glacier, Alberta, including anybona fide reorganization transaction pursuant to which the Shareholders exchange their Common Shares for the securities of one or more other entities, whether affiliated with Advantage or not.

No Rights as a Shareholder

An Optionee shall not have any of the rights or privileges of Shareholders in respect of any Common Shares issuable upon exercise of a Option until certificates representing such Common Shares have been issued and delivered.

Option Agreement

A written agreement will be entered into between Advantage and each Optionee to whom a Option is granted hereunder (a "Option Agreement"), which agreement will set out the number of Common Shares subject to option, the Exercise Price, the vesting dates, the Expiry Date and any other terms approved by the Board, all in accordance with the provisions of the Option Plan. The Option Agreement will be in the form of agreement as the Board may from time to time approve or authorize the officers of Advantage to enter into, and may contain such terms as may be considered necessary in order that the Option will comply with any provisions respecting Options in the income tax or other laws in force in any country or jurisdiction of which the person to whom the Option is granted may from time to time be a resident or citizen, or the rules of any regulatory body having jurisdiction over Advantage.

Amendment or Discontinuance of the Option Plan

The Option Plan and any Options granted pursuant to the Option Plan may be amended, modified or terminated by the Board without approval of the Shareholders, subject to any required approval of the Exchange.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Option Plan or any Options may not be amended without shareholder approval to:

(a)

increase the number of Common Shares reserved for issuance under the Option Plan or the Option Plan maximum as described under "Limitations to the Option Plan";

(b)

reduce the Exercise Price of any Option granted pursuant to the Option Plan;

(c)

extend the Expiry Date of any outstanding Options other than as permitted pursuant to the Option Plan;

(d)

amend the limitations to the Option Plan to increase the entitlements of non-management directors under the Option Plan;

(e)

permit an Optionee to transfer or assign Options to a new beneficial holder, other than for estate settlement purposes;

(f)

any amendment to increase the number of Common Shares that may be issued to Insiders above the restrictions described under "Limitations to the Option Plan"; or

(g)

amend this provision of the Option Plan.

In addition, no amendment to the Option Plan or Options granted pursuant to the Option Plan may be made without the consent of the Optionee, if it adversely alters or impairs the rights of any Optionee in respect of any Option previously granted to such Optionee under the Option Plan.

Share-Based Awards

Applicable Canadian securities legislation defines a "share-based award" as an award under an equity incentive plan of equity-based instruments that do not have option-like features, including common shares, restricted shares, restricted share units, deferred share units, phantom shares, phantom share units, common share equivalent units and stock. Advantage’s compensation in 2011 included the RSPIP, which was not re-approved by Shareholders within the three year period required by the TSX, and as a result, the RSPIP expired in May, 2012. As a result, the Corporation could not grant any further Restricted Shares under the RSPIP, such that there were no Restricted Shares granted in 2012 or 2013 and there are no Restricted Shares outstanding.

Changes to Compensation in 2014

On February 4, 2014, the Corporation announced a three year development plan through to 2017 endorsed by the Board and approval of the Glacier Phase VII Capital and Operating Budget for the 12 months ending March 31, 2015.

In early 2014, the Board undertook a review of compensation practices to ensure alignment with the three year development plan objectives and shareholder interests. The Compensation Committee retained Mercer to assist the Board and the Compensation Committee in reviewing and determining the compensation of executive officers of the Corporation. Mercer reviewed the competitiveness and appropriateness of the Corporation's compensation practices as compared to peer comparator companies and performance metrics and provided observations and recommendations for change, where appropriate. As a result of this review, the Board and the Compensation Committee implemented the Award Plan for all employees excluding directors and the DSU Plan for directors.

Pursuant to the Award Plan, long term equity incentives for all employees will consist of 50% from Stock Options and 50% from Performance Awards. Performance Awards are notional securities granted to an employee and are related directly to the Share price performance from grant date to the date on which the Performance Awards vest. Performance Awards will cliff vest after three years and employees will receive a cash payment based on the fair value of the underlying Common Shares, subject to a performance multiplier from 0x (bottom quartile performance) to 2x (top quartile performance) that is applied to the underlying value to determine payout. The performance multiplier is based on a number of performance criteria as determined by the Compensation Committee and Board. The current performance criteria approved by the Board includes Advantage’s total shareholder return during the following three-year period as compared to a peer group, cash flow per share growth as compared to annual approved budget targets, and maintaining a top tier cost structure annually as compared to a peer group. The performance criteria represent foundational components of Advantage’s three year development plan. Therefore, the Performance Awards are designed to focus and reward employees for performance over the medium to long-term both on an absolute and a relative basis.

Pursuant to the DSU Plan, 50% of the annual retainer for each director will be paid through the granting of deferred share units ("DSUs"). DSUs are notional securities granted to a director and are related directly to the Share price performance from grant date to the date on which the DSUs are redeemed. DSUs vest immediately upon grant but cannot be redeemed until the holder ceases to be a director. The granting of DSUs will occur on a monthly basis. The number of DSUs granted is calculated by dividing the value of the awards by the amount that is the closing price for a Share on the TSX on the trading day immediately prior to the date of grant. On the date that a holder of DSUs ceases to be a director, the monetary amount represented by the DSUs shall be calculated and shall be paid to the Director in cash not later than the end of the first calendar year after the calendar year which includes the termination date.

Additionally in 2014, the Board made several changes to Director compensation. Effective March 2014, the fees payable to the Chair of Advantage were reduced to a flat fee annual retainer of $75,000 in cash plus $75,000 which will be paid through the granting of DSUs. The Chair of the Audit Committee will be paid a flat fee annual retainer of $62,500 in cash plus $62,500 which will be paid through the granting of DSUs. Each of the other directors of Advantage, with the exception of those who are employees of Advantage, will receive a flat fee annual retainer of $50,000 in cash plus $50,000 which will be paid through the granting of DSUs. All directors are eligible to receive expense reimbursement for costs of attending Board or committee meetings. No meeting fees will be paid to independent directors, as, absent exceptional circumstances, directors are not entitled to meeting fees.

Notes:

(1)

Represents the grant date fair value of Restricted Shares granted under the RSPIP. Specifically, the fair value of the Restricted Shares was based on the closing trading price on the TSX on the date of grant. The actual value of Share-based awards vesting can fluctuate significantly from the grant date fair value method of valuation as a result of changes in the trading price of the Shares.

(2)

Represents the grant date fair value of Options granted under the Option Plan and does not represent the cash value of such grant. The fair value is determined using a Black-Scholes-Merton valuation model, using weighted average assumptions including: volatility 35% (2012 - 44%), expected forfeiture rate 0.25% (2012 – 0.25%), and risk-free rate 0.98% (2012 - 1.06%). Advantage uses this methodology as it is a commonly recognized means of calculating a meaningful and reasonable estimate of fair value. The actual value of option-based awards vesting can fluctuate significantly from the imputed value derived under the Black-Scholes-Merton valuation model as a result of changes in the trading price of the Shares.

(3)

Reflects cash bonuses earned in 2011 and paid in 2012, cash bonuses earned in 2012 and paid in 2013 and cash bonuses earned in 2013 and paid in 2014. All bonus payments disclosed were paid to the NEOs in their capacities as NEOs of Advantage and do not include any bonus payments attributable to Longview.

(4)

Perquisites received by each of the NEOs including property or other personal benefits provided to the NEOs include: medical and dental benefits; life insurance; short-term and long-term disability insurance; parking allowance; and the Purchase Plan. These benefits are intended to be comparable with those that the NEOs would receive if employed elsewhere in the industry.

(5)

Other compensation includes contributions made by Advantage on behalf of NEOs pursuant to the matching provisions of the Purchase Plan. Advantage contributed under the Purchase Plan for the NEOs an aggregate of $148,668 in 2011, $149,000 in 2012 and $172,167 in 2013.

(6)

Other compensation includes retention amounts paid in 2013 to the NEOs as follows: Mr. Mah $60,000, Mr. Bokenfohr $60,000, Mr. Blackwood $60,000, Mr. Drader $60,000, Mr. Cairns $74,000, and Mr. Derochie $89,393.

(7)

Other compensation includes retiring allowances paid in 2013 to the NEOs that resigned as follows: Mr. Drader $1,111,053, Mr. Cairns $400,000, and Mr. Derochie $157,400.

(8)

On April 21, 2011 Mr. Drader resigned as President of the Corporation and Mr. Mah was appointed President. On August 1, 2013, Mr. Drader resigned as Chief Financial Officer of the Corporation and Mr. Blackwood was appointed as Chief Financial Officer. Mr. Drader remained an employee of Advantage acting as President and CEO for Longview pursuant to the TSA until he resigned as an employee of Advantage on December 31, 2013. Total compensation represents compensation paid to Mr. Drader during the applicable years as an employee of Advantage regardless of the position.

(9)

Mr. Cairns resigned as an officer and employee of the Corporation on December 31, 2013.

(10)

Mr. Derochie was appointed an officer of the Corporation on May 8, 2013 acting as Vice President of Operations for Longview pursuant to the TSA. Mr. Derochie resigned as an officer of Advantage on November 28, 2013 and remained an employee of Advantage acting as Vice President of Operations for Longview pursuant to the TSA until he resigned as an employee of Advantage on December 31, 2013. Total compensation represents compensation paid to Mr. Derochie during the applicable year as an employee of Advantage regardless of the position.

(11)

Total compensation including salary, bonus and all other compensation amounts received only reflect the portion of compensation attributable to Advantage and does not include the portion of such compensation which was reimbursed to Advantage by Longview pursuant to the TSA. A summary of the compensation paid to the NEOs for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, which was paid by Advantage and attributable to Longview is as follows:

Notes:

(1)

Represents Options granted to NEOs. Of the Options held by each NEO, approximately 1/8 of the total number of Options expire on each of April 1, 2014, July 1, 2014, October 1, 2014, January 1, 2015 and April 1, 2015. The remaining 3/8 of the total number of Options granted had their original expiration dates extended to February 21, 2014, the last day of the Black-Out Extension Term (as defined in the Option Plan).

(2)

Represents the weighted average Option exercise price.

(3)

The value is calculated based on the difference between the market price of Shares at December 31, 2013, being $4.61 per Share and the exercise price of the Options.

(4)

Unvested Option-based Awards for individuals no longer employed with Advantage were immediately cancelled on announcement of the conclusion of Advantage’s strategic alternatives review process. For the NEOs that resigned during 2013, the unvested Option-based Awards cancelled in February 2014 are as follows: Mr. Drader 981,890 Options, Mr. Cairns 644,005 Options, and Mr. Derochie 180,495 Options.

(5)

There were no Restricted Shares outstanding during the year ended December 31, 2013 and the Corporation did not have any other share-based awards outstanding as at December 31, 2013.

These contracts provide for participation by the Named Executive Officers in the Option Plan, in any bonus plan in place, participation in any benefit plans in place and further provide for certain payments to be made where the executive is terminated without "just cause", without "good reason" or upon a "change of control". The Named Executive Officer may terminate his employment with Advantage for any reason upon thirty (30) days written notice.

If the executive is terminated without "just cause", without "good reason" or upon a "change of control", the agreements provide that in respect of Mr. Mah, the executive will be entitled to 1.5 times the executive's then annual salary (the "Retirement Allowance") plus an amount equal to 15% of the Retirement Allowance as well as 1.5 times the average cash bonus (if any) paid to the executive by the Corporation under the cash bonus plan during the prior two year period, in each case less the required withholdings or deductions. For Messrs. Bokenfohr and Blackwood, the entitlements are the same except that such executive officers are only entitled to one times the executive's then annual salary and one times the average cash bonus paid over the prior two years.

Indebtedness of Directors and Executive Officers

None of the directors, executive officers, employees, or former directors, officers or employees of the Corporation nor any of its associates or affiliates is now or has been indebted to the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries since the commencement of the last completed fiscal year, nor is, or at any time since the beginning of the most recently completed financial year has, any indebtedness of any such person been subject of a guarantee, support agreement, letter of credit or other similar arrangement or understanding provided by the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries.

Corporate Governance Disclosure

National Instrument 58-101Disclosure of Corporate Governance Practices ("NI 58-101") requires reporting issuers to disclose their corporate governance practices with reference to a series of guidelines for effective corporate governance (the "Corporate Governance Guidelines") set forth in National Policy 58-201 –Corporate Governance Guidelines.

The Corporation has considered recent legislative changes, proposals and recommendations of the applicable regulatory authorities and the Canadian Securities Administrators in respect of corporate governance practices. The impact of National Instrument 52-110 in respect of audit committees, National Instrument 52-109 in respect of certification of disclosure on issuer's annual interim filings, National Instrument 51-101 in respect of standards of disclosure for oil and gas activities, National Instrument 51-102 in respect of continuous disclosure obligations and NI 58-101 and National Policy 58-201 providing guidance on corporate governance practices (the "Guidelines") have been considered.

As a foreign private issuer listed on the New York Stock Exchange (the "NYSE"), Advantage is not required to comply with most of the NYSE rules and listing standards and instead may comply with domestic Canadian requirements. Advantage is, however, required to comply with the following NYSE Rules: (i) Advantage must have an audit committee that satisfies the requirements of Rule 10A-3 under the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended; (ii) the Chief Executive Officer must promptly notify the NYSE in writing after an executive officer becomes aware of any non-compliance with the applicable NYSE Rules; (iii) submit an executed section 303A annual written affirmation to the NYSE, as well as a Section 303A interim affirmation each time certain changes occurs to the audit committee; and (iv) provide a brief description of any significant differences between its corporate governance practices and those followed by U.S. domestic issuers under the NYSE listing standards. Advantage has reviewed the NYSE listing standards followed by U.S. domestic issuers listed under the NYSE and confirms that its corporate governance practices do not differ significantly from such standards.

Set out below is a description of the Corporation's corporate governance practices.
