Dear Sir:

We understand that Canadian Natural Resources Limited (“Canadian Natural”) proposes to issue and sell from time to time in all of the provinces of Canada (the “Selling Provinces”) and in such other jurisdictions as Canadian Natural may determine from time to time, including in the United States as contemplated by Schedule E (collectively with the Selling Provinces, the “Jurisdictions”), unsecured medium term notes (the “Medium Term Notes”), as described in the English and French language versions of Canadian Natural’s short form base shelf prospectus dated July 27, 2023, as amended or supplemented from time to time.

Subject to the terms and conditions contained herein, including the attached schedules, Canadian Natural hereby appoints, severally, ATB Capital Markets Inc., BMO Nesbitt Burns Inc., CIBC World Markets Inc., Desjardins Securities Inc., Merrill Lynch Canada Inc., Mizuho Securities Canada Inc., MUFG Securities (Canada), Ltd., National Bank Financial Inc., RBC Dominion Securities Inc., Scotia Capital Inc., SMBC Nikko Securities Canada, Ltd., and TD Securities Inc. and such other investment dealer or dealers as Canadian Natural may from time to time appoint as hereinafter provided (collectively, the “Dealers” and individually, a “Dealer”) as its exclusive agents (subject to Canadian Natural’s rights to sell Medium Term Notes and to appoint additional agents as provided hereunder) to solicit, from time to time, offers to purchase Medium Term Notes, such solicitations to be made directly or through other investment dealers approved in writing by Canadian Natural (together with the Dealers, referred to herein as the “Selling Firms”) and in the Jurisdictions only, and the Dealers hereby severally accept the appointment. Canadian Natural may appoint additional agents hereunder by delivering to the then existing Dealers a copy of this Agreement or an addendum hereto signed by each such additional agent, whereupon each such additional agent shall become one of the Dealers hereunder unless one or more of the existing Dealers is reasonably of the view that the new agent would not be able to fulfill its responsibilities under this Agreement and so notifies Canadian Natural within ten days of receipt of the foregoing copy of this Agreement. The agency sales will be subject to acceptance by Canadian Natural of all offers to purchase Medium Term Notes and to the requirements of any applicable Securities Laws (as defined below) or any other applicable laws.

A Dealer, either alone or severally, and not jointly, with one or more of the other Dealers, may from time to time purchase, as principal for resale to the public at prices to be negotiated with each purchaser, in the Jurisdictions only, Medium Term Notes from Canadian Natural at prices and commissions, if any, as may from time to time be agreed upon between Canadian Natural and the Dealer or Dealers.

Canadian Natural and the Dealers shall follow the Operating Procedures (as defined below) with respect to the sale of the Medium Term Notes.

Canadian Natural may also, from time to time, offer the Medium Term Notes directly to the public at prices and upon terms agreed to by Canadian Natural and the purchaser of the Medium Term Notes (or any agent or investment dealer acting on behalf of the purchaser), provided that Canadian Natural may not so offer the Medium Term Notes: (a) on a date Canadian Natural requests the Dealers to solicit offers to purchase Medium Term Notes; or (b) during any period commencing on the date on which a Dealer, either alone or together with one or more of the other Dealers, has agreed to purchase Medium Term Notes as principal for resale, and ending, unless otherwise agreed with the Dealer or Dealers, on the date on which all agreements relating to sales of such Medium Term Notes by or through the Dealers are binding on the public purchasers of Medium Term Notes. No commission shall be payable to the Dealers for sales made directly by Canadian Natural.

For each Medium Term Note sold under this Agreement by one or more of the Dealers acting as agent or agents of Canadian Natural, Canadian Natural shall pay, to the Dealer or Dealers making such sale, a commission as determined in accordance with Part I of Schedule A hereto, unless otherwise agreed by such Dealer or Dealers and Canadian Natural. For each Medium Term Note sold to one or more of the Dealers as principal, Canadian Natural shall pay, to the Dealer or Dealers purchasing such Medium Term Note, a commission as determined in accordance with Part II of Schedule A hereto, unless otherwise agreed by such Dealer or Dealers and Canadian Natural. The commission in respect of any particular Medium Term Note shall be payable in the same currency as the principal of the Medium Term Note.

FILING OF PROSPECTUS DOCUMENTS AND MARKETING MATERIALS

(a)

Canadian Natural will as soon as possible fulfill and will continue to fulfill during the term of this Agreement, all legal requirements to be fulfilled by Canadian Natural (including, without limitation, from time to time, any filings, proceedings and legal requirements set forth in the Shelf Procedures) to enable the Medium Term Notes to be continuously offered for sale and sold to the public in each of the Selling Provinces under the Shelf Procedures in compliance with applicable Securities Laws by or through investment dealers and brokers who comply with applicable Securities Laws.

(b)

Without limiting the generality of subsection 3(a), Canadian Natural shall prepare and approve in writing any Marketing Materials proposed to be Provided by the Dealers to any potential investor of Medium Term Notes, such Marketing Materials to comply with applicable Securities Laws and to be acceptable in form and substance to the Dealers and Dealers’ Counsel, acting reasonably, and approved in writing on behalf of the Dealers as contemplated by applicable Securities Laws, and, if required under applicable Securities Laws, Canadian Natural shall file a Template Version and any revised Template Version of such Marketing Materials, as applicable, on SEDAR+ on or before the day that the Marketing Materials are first Provided to any potential investor.

(c)

To the extent that in so fulfilling such legal requirements as referred to in subsection 3(a) and 3(b), the filings or proceedings referred to in subsection 3(a) and 3(b) result in the Dealers assuming additional liability, Canadian Natural shall consult with the Dealers as to such filings and proceedings it proposes to effect, provided that there shall be no obligation of Canadian Natural to consult with the Dealers in respect of documents filed as part of its continuous disclosure obligations.

DISTRIBUTION OF THE MEDIUM TERM NOTES

The Dealers shall, on such dates as Canadian Natural has notified the Dealers in accordance with the Operating Procedures that it requires funds, use their best efforts to solicit offers to purchase the Medium Term Notes from, and sell the Medium Term Notes to, members of the public in the Selling Provinces, directly and through other Selling Firms, only as permitted by and in compliance with applicable Securities Laws, upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Prospectus and in this Agreement. If one or more of the Dealers agrees to purchase the Medium Term Notes in accordance with the Operating Procedures, they may sell Medium Term Notes to members of the public in the Selling Provinces, directly and through other Selling Firms. The Dealers may solicit offers to purchase or sell Medium Term Notes in the United States subject to the provisions of subsection 7(c) and Schedule E. Subject to obtaining the prior agreement of Canadian Natural, the Dealers may solicit offers to purchase or sell Medium Term Notes outside of the Selling Provinces and the United States in accordance with applicable law (including, if applicable, U.S. Securities Laws and state securities laws) but will not solicit offers to purchase or sell Medium Term Notes so as to require registration of Medium Term Notes (or the offering thereof) or the filing of a prospectus with respect to the distribution of Medium Term Notes under the laws of such jurisdictions, and will require each Selling Firm to agree with the Dealers not to so solicit or sell. For purposes of this Section 4, the Dealers shall be entitled to assume that the Medium Term Notes are qualified for Distribution in all of the Selling Provinces, and in the United States subject to the provisions of subsection 7(c) and Schedule E. Canadian Natural has delivered or shall deliver, to the Dealers copies of all receipts received from the Securities Commissions, if any, received from time to time for the Prospectus or any Prospectus Supplement or Prospectus Amendment as soon as they are available. The Dealers shall, as soon as practicable after the Dealers have distributed Medium Term Notes, and in any event within five days of a reasonable request from Canadian Natural, provide Canadian Natural with a comprehensive breakdown of the Medium Term Notes distributed by the Dealers collectively, both through agency sales and principal sales (separately enumerated), in each of the Jurisdictions where a breakdown is required for the purpose of calculating fees payable by Canadian Natural to the Securities Commissions or the SEC.

NO TRADE PERIOD

During the period of a Distribution or Distribution to the public of the Medium Term Notes under the Prospectus, Canadian Natural shall not, during the time period (the “No Trade Period”) in which Canadian Natural believes, in its reasonable judgment, that any change or fact described below (which has not been announced or is the subject of the filing of a confidential material change report) is sufficiently imminent and probable that a reasonably prudent reporting issuer would not Distribute its own securities, continue the Distribution or Distribution to the public of the Medium Term Notes until such No Trade Period ends either through a change in circumstances or a public announcement of such change or fact being made or otherwise:

(a)

any change (actual, anticipated, contemplated or threatened) in the business, affairs, operations, assets, liabilities (contingent or otherwise), capital or ownership of Canadian Natural and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole; or

(b)

any change in any matter covered by a statement contained or incorporated by reference in the Prospectus or any Marketing Documents as amended or supplemented immediately prior to such change; or

(c)

any fact which has arisen or which has been discovered which would have been required to have been stated in the Prospectus or any Marketing Documents had the fact arisen or been discovered on or prior to the date of a Prospectus Supplement or Pricing Supplement or any Marketing Documents,

which change or fact in any case is, or may be, of such a nature as (i) to render the Prospectus or any Marketing Documents, immediately prior to such change or fact, misleading or untrue in any material respect, or (ii) would result in the Prospectus or any Marketing Documents, immediately prior to such change or fact, containing a misrepresentation, or (iii) would result in the Prospectus or any Marketing Documents, immediately prior to such change or fact, not complying with the laws of any Jurisdiction, or (iv) would reasonably be expected to have a significant effect on the market price or value of the Medium Term Notes. Canadian Natural shall promptly comply with all applicable filing and other requirements under Securities Laws in the Selling Provinces arising as a result of such change or fact. In addition, if during the period of the Distribution or Distribution to the public of the Medium Term Notes under the Prospectus, there is any change in any applicable Securities Laws which results in a requirement to file a Prospectus Amendment, Canadian Natural shall make such filing as soon as possible. Canadian Natural shall notify the Dealers in writing, with the full particulars, of such a change and shall also discuss with the Dealers any change or fact in respect of which there may be doubt respecting the applicability of this Section 5.

INDEMNITY AND CONTRIBUTION

(a)

Canadian Natural shall indemnify and save the Dealers, and the Dealers’ controlling shareholders, directors, officers, employees, and agents (“Indemnified Person”), harmless against and from all liabilities, claims, demands, losses (other than losses of profit in connection with the Distribution of the Medium Term Notes) costs, damages and expenses (collectively, a “Claim”) to which the Indemnified Person may be subject or which the Indemnified Person may suffer or incur, whether under the provisions of any statute or otherwise, in any way caused by, or arising directly or indirectly from or in consequence of:

(i)

any information or statement contained in the Prospectus or any Marketing Document (other than any information or statement relating to the Dealers and furnished in writing to Canadian Natural by the Dealers or the Dealers’ Counsel expressly for inclusion in the Prospectus) which is or is alleged to be untrue or any omission or alleged omission to provide any information or state any fact the omission of which makes or is alleged to make any such information or statement untrue or misleading in light of the circumstances in which it was made;

(ii)

any misrepresentation or alleged misrepresentation (except a misrepresentation which is based upon information relating solely to the Dealers and furnished to Canadian Natural by the Dealers or the Dealers’ Counsel in writing expressly for inclusion in the Prospectus) contained in the Prospectus or any Marketing Document;

(iii)

any prohibition or restriction of trading in the securities of Canadian Natural or any prohibition or restriction affecting the Distribution of the Medium Term Notes imposed by any competent authority if such prohibition or restriction is based on any misrepresentation or alleged misrepresentation of a kind referred to in subsection 9(a)(i) or (ii);

(iv)

any order made or any inquiry, investigation (whether formal or informal) or other proceeding commenced or threatened by any one or more competent authorities (not based upon the activities or the alleged activities of the Dealers, a Selling Firm or their banking or selling group members, if any) relating to or materially affecting the trading or Distribution of the Medium Term Notes;

(v)

any breach of, default under or non-compliance by Canadian Natural with any representation, warranty, term or condition of this Agreement;

(vi)

Canadian Natural not complying with any requirement of applicable Securities Laws in connection with the transactions contemplated herein; or

(vii)

the direct sale by Canadian Natural of any Medium Term Notes unless such liability, claim, demand, loss, cost, damage or expense is caused by the actions of the Indemnified Person,

provided that Canadian Natural shall not be liable in such case to the extent that any such Claims are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final judgement as arising out of or based upon the failure of the Indemnified Person to comply with its obligations under the applicable Securities Laws at or within the time specified by the Securities Laws; and in such event, such Dealer shall promptly reimburse Canadian Natural for the respective amounts received from Canadian Natural pursuant to this indemnity in respect of such liabilities, claims, demands and losses. The Dealers shall be entitled, as trustee, to enforce the obligations contained herein on behalf of any other party entitled to indemnity or contribution hereunder.

(b)

If any Claim contemplated by subsection 9(a) shall be asserted against any Indemnified Person, such Indemnified Person shall notify Canadian Natural as soon as possible and in any event within 10 days of becoming aware of the nature of such Claim (provided that any failure to so notify promptly shall relieve Canadian Natural of liability under this Section 9 only to the extent that such failure prejudices Canadian Natural’s ability to defend such Claim or results in any material increase in the liability which Canadian Natural may have under this Section 9, however in the event of such a material increase in the liability of Canadian Natural, shall relieve Canadian Natural of such liability only to the extent of such material increase), and Canadian Natural shall be entitled (but not required) to assume the defence of any suit brought to enforce such claim, provided however, that the defence shall be through legal counsel selected by Canadian Natural and acceptable to the Indemnified Person acting reasonably and that no settlement may be made by Canadian Natural or the Indemnified Person without the prior written consent of the other, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld. The Indemnified Person shall have the right to retain its own counsel in any proceeding relating to a claim contemplated by subsection 9(a) if:

(i)

the Indemnified Person has been advised by counsel in writing that there may be a reasonable legal defence available to the Indemnified Person which is different from or additional to a defence available to Canadian Natural (in which case Canadian Natural shall not have the right to assume the defence of such proceedings on the Indemnified Person’s behalf);

(ii)

Canadian Natural shall not have taken the defence of such proceedings and employed counsel within ten (10) days after notice of commencement of such proceedings; or

(iii)

the employment of such counsel has been authorized by Canadian Natural in connection with the defence of such proceeding;

and, in any such event, the reasonable fees and expenses of such Indemnified Person’s counsel (on a solicitor and his client basis) shall be paid by Canadian Natural, provided that Canadian Natural shall not, in connection with any one such action or separate but substantially similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate law firm (in addition to any local counsel) for all such Indemnified Person; and

(c)

In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in circumstances in which the indemnification provided for in this Agreement is due in accordance with its terms but is, for any reason, held by a court to be unavailable from Canadian Natural on ground of policy or otherwise, each of Canadian Natural and the party or parties seeking indemnification shall contribute to the aggregate liabilities, claims, demands, losses (other than losses of profit in connection with the Distribution of the Medium Term Notes), costs, damages and expenses (including legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigation or defence of the same) to which they may be subject or which they may suffer or incur;

(i)

in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefit received by Canadian Natural on the one hand, and by the party or parties seeking indemnity on the other hand, from the offering of the Medium Term Notes; or

(ii)

if the allocation provided by subsection 9(c)(i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in subsection 9(c)(i) above but also to reflect the relative fault of the party or parties seeking indemnity, on the one hand, and the parties from whom indemnity is sought, on the other hand, in connection with the statements, commissions, or omissions or other matters which resulted in such liabilities, claims, demands, losses, costs, damages or expenses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations;

provided that the Dealers shall not be liable in any event to contribute in the aggregate, any amount in excess of the fees or any portion thereof actually received by them in connection with the Distribution of the Medium Term Notes. The relative benefits received by Canadian Natural, on the one hand, and the Dealers, on the other hand, shall be deemed to be in the same proportion that the aggregate principal amount of the Medium Term Notes sold by the Dealers under the Prospectus (net of fees but before deducting expenses) bear to the fees received by the Dealers. In the case of liability arising out of the Prospectus, the relative fault of Canadian Natural, on the one hand, and of the Dealers, on the other hand, shall be determined by reference, among other things, to whether the misrepresentation or alleged misrepresentation, order, inquiry, investigation or other matter or thing referred to in this Section 9 relates to information supplied or which ought to have been supplied by, or steps or actions taken or done on behalf of or which ought to have been taken or done on behalf of, Canadian Natural or the Dealers, and the parties, relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such misrepresentation or alleged misrepresentation, order, inquiry, investigation or other matter or thing referred to in this Section 9.

Canadian Natural agrees that it would not be just and equitable if contributions pursuant to this Agreement were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraphs. The rights to contribution provided in this subsection 9(c) shall be in addition to, and without prejudice to, any other right to contribution which the Dealers may have.

Canadian Natural waives all right of contribution by statute or common law which it may have against the Dealers in respect of losses, demands, claims, costs, damages, expenses or liabilities which it may sustain as a direct or indirect consequence of the Prospectus or any other document containing or being alleged to contain a misrepresentation, provided that such right against any one of the Dealers is not waived in respect of losses, claims, demands, costs, damages, expenses or liabilities sustained as a direct or indirect consequence of there being a misrepresentation or omission in any information in respect of the Dealers furnished to Canadian Natural by any one or more of the Dealers in writing specifically for use therein.

(d)

If and to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction in a final judgment from which no appeal can be made or any federal, provincial, municipal or other governmental department, commission, board, bureau, agency or instrumentality, domestic or foreign in a final ruling from which no appeal can be made shall determine that the liabilities, claims, actions, suits, proceedings, losses, costs, damages or expenses resulted from the gross negligence, fraud, wilful default or wilful misconduct of an Indemnified Person claiming indemnity, the rights of indemnity and rights of contribution provided for in this Section 9 shall cease to apply to such Indemnified Person. For greater certainty, Canadian Natural and the Dealers agree that they do not intend that any failure by the Dealers to conduct such reasonable investigation as necessary to provide the Dealers with reasonable grounds for believing the Prospectus and any Prospectus Amendment contained no misrepresentation shall constitute “gross negligence” or “wilful misconduct” for purposes of this Section 9 or otherwise disentitle the Dealers from indemnification or contribution hereunder.

(e)

Without limiting the generality of subsection 9(d), the rights of indemnity provided under subsection 9(a) and rights of contribution provided under subsection 9(c) shall not apply if Canadian Natural has complied with subsection 6(a)(i), (ii), (iv), (v), (ix) and (x), as applicable, and the person asserting any claim contemplated by this section 9 was not provided with a copy of the Prospectus, any Prospectus Amendment, any Prospectus Supplement or any Pricing Supplement that corrects any misrepresentation or alleged misrepresentation that is the basis for such claim and that is required, under applicable Securities Laws, to be delivered to such person by the Dealers.

10.

PURCHASERS’ REMEDIES

Should any purchaser of the Medium Term Notes from any of the Dealers or from any of the Selling Firms effectively rescind the purchaser’s contract for the purchase of the Medium Term Notes pursuant to statutory rights of rescission referenced under the heading “Statutory Rights of Withdrawal and Rescission” in the Prospectus, or should the purchaser effectively enforce a statutory right of action for damages referenced under the same heading, Canadian Natural shall upon the request of the Dealer or Selling Firm:

(a)

indemnify the Dealer and the Selling Firm, or any shareholder, director, officer or employee thereof, and save the Dealer and the Selling Firm, or any director or officer thereof, harmless from any losses or damages suffered directly; and

(b)

pay or satisfy all reasonable legal and other expenses incurred by the Dealer and the Selling Firm in connection with the defence of any action to enforce the rescission right or right of action commenced by the purchaser;

provided that these obligations shall not apply if such rescission or right of action for damages arises out of, or is based upon, an untrue statement furnished in writing to Canadian Natural by any of the Dealers specifically for use in the Prospectus or if a purchaser exercises a right of withdrawal within the time limits set forth in Securities Laws.

11.

TERMINATION BY DEALERS OF PURCHASE AS PRINCIPAL

In addition to any other remedies which may be available to the Dealers, a Dealer shall be entitled, at its option, to terminate and cancel its obligations to purchase Medium Term Notes as principal, without any liability on its part, immediately upon written notice to Canadian Natural at any time prior to the completion of such purchase, if after such Dealer has agreed to purchase Medium Term Notes as principal:

(a)

any order to cease or suspend trading in any securities of Canadian Natural, or prohibiting or restricting the Distribution of the Medium Term Notes, is made, or proceedings are announced, commenced or threatened for the making of any such order, by any Securities Commissions or similar regulatory authority, the Exchange or by any other competent authority, and has not been rescinded, revoked or withdrawn;

(b)

any inquiry, investigation (whether formal or informal) or other proceeding in relation to Canadian Natural or any of its directors or senior officers (relating to their activities as directors or senior officers of Canadian Natural or their ability to continue to serve as directors or senior officers of Canadian Natural) is announced, commenced or threatened by any Securities Commission, the Exchange or by any other competent authority if, in the reasonable opinion of any Dealer, the announcement, commencement or threatening thereof materially adversely affects or may materially adversely affect the trading or Distribution of the Medium Term Notes;

(c)

there shall have occurred or been discovered by any Dealer any material adverse change, as determined by any Dealer in its sole discretion, acting reasonably, in the business, operations, capital or condition (financial or otherwise) of Canadian Natural and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole or their properties, assets, liabilities or obligations (absolute, accrued, contingent or otherwise);

(d)

there should develop, occur or come into effect or existence any event, action, state, condition or financial occurrence, or any catastrophe of national or international consequence, any law or regulation, or any other occurrence of any nature whatsoever, which, in the sole opinion of any Dealer, acting reasonably, seriously adversely affect or involve, or will seriously adversely affect or involve, the financial markets or the business, operations or affairs of Canadian Natural, such that it would not be practical (in the sole opinion of any Dealer) to market the Medium Term Notes; or

(e)

the rating assigned by any nationally recognized securities rating agency to the unsecured debt securities of Canadian Natural (which includes the Medium Term Notes) as of the Trade Date (as defined in Schedule B) shall have been lowered since that date or if any such rating agency shall have publicly announced that is has under surveillance or review, with possible negative implications, its rating of any debt securities of Canadian Natural.

In the event of a termination by any Dealer pursuant to this Section 11, there shall be no further liability on the part of such Dealer or of Canadian Natural to such Dealer except in respect of the obligations of Canadian Natural under Sections 9 and 16.

12.

SEVERAL OBLIGATIONS

If, with respect to any particular sale of Medium Term Notes, two or more of the Dealers agree to purchase the Medium Term Notes as principals, the obligations of such Dealers to purchase the Medium Term Notes shall be several and not joint in that:

(a)

each Dealer shall be obligated to purchase and pay for only the percentage of the Medium Term Notes set opposite its name in the applicable Underwriting Addendum; and

(b)

if one or more of the Dealers shall fail or refuse to purchase its applicable percentage of the Medium Term Notes, each of the other relevant Dealers shall be relieved, without liability, of its obligation to purchase its respective percentage of the Medium Term Notes on submission to Canadian Natural of reasonable evidence of its ability and willingness to fulfill its obligation;

provided that those of the remaining Dealers who shall be willing and able to purchase their respective percentage of the Medium Term Notes shall have the right, but not the obligation, to purchase the Medium Term Notes not taken up, on a pro rata basis or as they may otherwise agree. Nothing in this Section 12 shall oblige Canadian Natural to sell to any or all of the Dealers who have entered into an Underwriting Addendum with Canadian Natural less than all of the Medium Term Notes which Canadian Natural has agreed to sell under such Underwriting Addendum or shall relieve from liability to Canadian Natural any of the Dealers who shall default in its obligation to purchase its respective percentage of the Medium Term Notes under such Underwriting Addendum.

13.

DUE DILIGENCE

(a)

Canadian Natural shall allow the Dealers and the Dealers’ Counsel to carry out the due diligence which the Dealers may reasonably require in order to fulfil the Dealers obligations as registrants and to enable the Dealers to responsibly execute the certificate in the Preliminary Prospectus, the Prospectus, a Prospectus Supplement or a Pricing Supplement required to be executed by the Dealers and as contemplated by Schedule D hereto. Canadian Natural shall promptly give the Dealers reasonable notice of the meetings contemplated by Schedule D; and

(b)

If any Dealer is not satisfied with the content of a Prospectus Amendment, including, as applicable, the documents and information incorporated therein by reference required to be filed by Canadian Natural in connection with the Distribution of the Medium Term Notes or if any Dealer gives notice to Canadian Natural that, in that Dealer’s judgment, acting reasonably, a Prospectus Amendment is required under Securities Laws to be filed by Canadian Natural and Canadian Natural is not prepared to file such Prospectus Amendment or if Canadian Natural determines in its sole discretion that it does not wish to continue the agency arrangement specified herein (in respect of one or more of the Dealers), Canadian Natural or that Dealer, as applicable, shall be entitled to terminate its rights and obligations under this Agreement upon delivery of notice to that effect, in which event there shall be no liability on the part of that Dealer to Canadian Natural or of Canadian Natural to that Dealer or Dealers, except in respect of liability, if any, which may arise on the part of Canadian Natural under the provisions of Sections 9 and 16 hereof. Upon such termination Canadian Natural and the remaining Dealers shall promptly file:

(i)

if appropriate, a Prospectus Amendment indicating that the applicable Dealer or Dealers have ceased to be a Dealer or Dealers under the Prospectus and containing a new prospectus certificate page signed by the remaining Dealers; and

(ii)

any other documents as may be required under Securities Laws.

14.

Operating Procedures

The following outlines the procedures that will apply to the sale of Medium Term Notes by a Dealer or Dealers acting as agents of Canadian Natural.

General

Canadian Natural may establish, in consultation with the Dealers, or any of them, for the current Business Day: (i) an appropriate rate structure for Medium Term Notes to be sold by the Dealers pursuant to the Agreement and (ii) Canadian Natural’s requirements for funds to be raised by the sale of such Medium Term Notes. The rate structure requirements for funds so established shall be based upon market conditions and Canadian Natural’s current and prospective funding requirements.

Whenever a Dealer obtains a firm offer to purchase a Medium Term Note at the prevailing rate structure for the current Business Day, the Dealer shall telephone or otherwise contact Canadian Natural to determine whether Canadian Natural still requires funds and, if it does, Canadian Natural shall confirm by telephone or otherwise that the Dealer may accept such offer on behalf of Canadian Natural or may acquire such interest as principal on terms then mutually agreed upon by the Dealer and Canadian Natural for resale by the Dealer pursuant to such offer. If Canadian Natural and the Dealer so agree to the acquisition of such Medium Term Note by the Dealer as principal, the provisions of this Agreement applicable to a Dealer acquiring a Medium Term Note as principal for resale shall apply.

All orders accepted by Canadian Natural on a particular day, such day of acceptance hereinafter referred to as the “Trade Date”, shall be settled on the second Business Day following the Trade Date or such other date as may be agreed to by the Relevant Dealers (as defined below) and Canadian Natural (the “Closing Date”).

As used herein, the term “Relevant Dealers” refers to the Dealer or Dealers through whom any particular sale of Medium Term Notes is affected. For any particular sale of Medium Term Notes where the Medium Term Notes are sold through more than one Dealer, Canadian Natural may appoint a coordinating Dealer, in which case all steps which must or may be taken by the Relevant Dealers as contemplated by the following procedures may be taken by the coordinating Dealer on the Relevant Dealers behalf, and each of the Relevant Dealers authorizes Canadian Natural to deal solely with, accept notification of any such steps from and effect payment of the commissions payable to the Relevant Dealers to, the coordinating Dealer on behalf of all the Relevant Dealers.

All references to time in this Schedule B are to Calgary local time. In this Schedule B a “Business Day” shall mean a day which is not a Saturday, Sunday, holiday or a day on which businesses in either Calgary or Toronto are generally not open for business.

These Operating Procedures shall be in effect until such time as Canadian Natural and the Dealers shall agree that revisions to these Operating Procedures are desirable.

The provisions of Part B of these Operating Procedures shall apply to the issuance of Global Notes and the provisions of Part C of these Operating Procedures shall apply to the issuance of Certificated Notes.

The Book-Entry Interests shall be recorded through the records of such participants or through the records of such participants and one or more indirect participants in CDS.

The Relevant Dealers shall verbally advise Canadian Natural of as much of the following information as is available immediately following the acceptance of any offer by the Relevant Dealers acting as agents on behalf of Canadian Natural:

As soon as practicable thereafter, Canadian Natural shall request eligibility of the ISIN. By the end of the Business Day prior to the Closing Date, the Relevant Dealers shall deliver the Prospectus and any amendments (including the Pricing Supplement) to the purchaser of each Book-Entry Interest as of the Closing Date, provided that Canadian Natural has previously delivered the applicable Pricing Supplement to the Relevant Dealers.

As soon as practicable after ISINs have been made eligible and in any event prior to the Closing Date, Canadian Natural shall prepare and forward a copy of the requisite BEO Acknowledgment Form to the office of CDS in electronic form, with a copy to the Calgary office of CDS by fax or e- mail.

If the Relevant Dealers do not provide the foregoing reference number by 9:00 a.m. on the Closing Date, then in Canadian Natural’s sole discretion the transaction shall not close until the next Business Day and Canadian Natural shall be compensated by the Relevant Dealers for its cost of funds incurred as a result of the delay in closing, as such amount is determined by Canadian Natural, acting reasonably, for the period from but not including the scheduled Closing Date to and including the date that the transaction closes.

The Relevant Dealers shall confirm the purchase of each Book-Entry Interest to the purchaser thereof by mailing a written confirmation to such purchaser.

If the Closing Date is rescheduled or cancelled, Canadian Natural shall deliver to the Trustee and CDS a cancellation message to such effect as soon as possible and by no later than 9:00 a.m. on the Closing Date.
