land so described but also any and all other land owned or claimed by Lessor in
the herein named survey or surveys, or in adjoining surveys, and adjoining the
herein described land up to the boundaries of the abutting landowners, the
leased lands being hereinafter referred to as "said land." For the purpose of
determining the amount of any bonus or other payment hereunder, said land shall
be deemed to contain 9197.83 acres, whether actually containing more or less.
Lessor agrees to execute any supplemental instrument(s) requested by Lessee for
a more complete or accurate description of said land or instrument(s) to perfect
title deficiencies.

2.

Subject to the other provisions herein contained, this lease shall remain in
force for a term of 3 years from this date (called "primary term"), and as long
thereafter as oil, gas or other mineral is produced from said physical land or
land with which said land or any part thereof is pooled, or this lease is
maintained by virtue of some other provision hereof.

3.

This is a PAID-UP LEASE. In consideration of the down cash payment, Lessor
agrees that Lessee shall not be obligated, except as otherwise provided herein,
to commence or continue any operations during the primary term.

4.

The royalties to be paid by Lessee are: (a) on oil and on other liquid
hydrocarbons saved at the well,21.5% of that produced and saved from said land,
same to be delivered at the wells or to the credit of Lessor in the pipeline to
which the wells may be connected with Lessor's interest in either case bearing
its proportion of any expense for treating oil to make it marketable as crude
and Lessee having the option, at any time or from time to time, to purchase
Lessor's oil at the well, paying therefore the lawful market price on the date
of purchase for oil of like grade and gravity prevailing for the field nearest
where such oil is produced; (b) on gas, including casinghead gas and all gaseous
substances, produced from said land and sold by Lessee, 21.5% of the amount
realized from such sale thereof; after deduction of a proportionate part of the
production, severance and other excise taxes and the cost incurred by Lessee in
delivering, processing, compressing, or otherwise making such gas or other
substances merchantable; (c) on gas, including casinghead gas and all gaseous
substances, produced from said land and used off said land by Lessee and not
benefiting Lessor, the market value at the mouth of the well of 21.5%  of the
gas so used off said land; (d) on all minerals mined and marketed21.5%, either
in kind or value at the well or mine, at Lessee's election, except that on
sulphur the royalty shall be One Dollar ($1.00) per long ton; and (e) if at any
time while there is a gas well or wells on the said land or land pooled
therewith (for the purposes of this clause (e) the term "gas well" shall include
wells capable of producing natural gas, condensate, distillate or any gaseous
substance and wells classified as gas wells by any governmental authority) and
such well or wells are shut-in, and this lease is not being maintained otherwise
as provided herein, this lease shall nevertheless remain in force and effect
following the shutting-in of the well(s), whether it be during or after the
primary term (unless released by Lessee), and it shall be considered that gas is
being produced from the land covered by this lease. When the lease is continued
in force in this manner and the well or wells are shut-in for a period of at
least ninety (90) consecutive days, Lessee shall pay or tender as an advanced
annual royalty to the parties who at the time of such payment would be entitled
to receive royalty hereunder if the well were producing, or deposit to their
credit in the Directly to Lessor  bank (Account No.  ), at - $1.00 per net acre
for the acreage then held under this lease by the party making such payment or
tender. The first payment of such sum shall be made on or before either; (1)
ninety (90) days from the date such well or wells are shut-in; (2) ninety (90)
days from the effective date for inclusion of said land or a portion thereof
within a unit on which is located a shut-in gas well; or (3) ninety (90) days
from the date this lease ceases to be otherwise maintained as provided herein,
whichever is the later date, and it shall be considered that gas is being
produced from said land in paying quantities within the meaning of Paragraph 2
hereof for one (1) year from the date of such payment, and in like manner
subsequent advance annual royalty payments may be made or tendered and it will
be considered that gas is being produced from said land in paying quantities
within the meaning of said Paragraph 2 during any annual period for which such
royalty is so paid or tendered; such advanced annual royalty payment shall be
credited against any royalty accruing to the owners thereof on any production
from said land during any annual period for which such advanced annual payment
has been made. Lessee's failure to pay or tender or to pay or tender properly or
timely any such sum as royalty shall render Lessee liable for the amount due but
it shall not operate to terminate this lease. All royalty interests, whether or
not owned by the undersigned, shall be paid out of the royalty as provided for
in said lease.

5.

Lessee shall have the right but not the obligation to pool all or any part of
the leased premises or interest therein with any other lands or interests, as to
any or all depths or zones, and as to any or all substances covered by this
lease, either before or after the commencement of production, whenever Lessee at
its sole discretion deems it necessary or proper to do in order to develop or
operate prudently the leased premises, whether or not similar pooling authority
exists with respect to such other lands or interests. The unit formed by such
pooling for an oil well which is not a horizontal completion shall not exceed 80
acres plus a maximum acreage tolerance of 10%, and for a gas well or a
horizontal completion shall not exceed 640 acres plus a maximum acreage
tolerance of 10%; provided that a larger unit may be formed for an oil well or
gas well or horizontal completion to conform to any well spacing or density
pattern that may be prescribed or permitted by any governmental authority having
jurisdiction to do so. For the purpose of the foregoing, the term "horizontal
completion" means a well in which the horizontal component of the gross
completion interval in the reservoir is at least one hundred (100) feet. In
exercising its pooling rights hereunder, Lessee shall file of record a written
declaration describing the unit and stating the effective date of pooling.
Production, drilling, completion, or reworking operations anywhere on a unit
which includes all or any part of the leased premises shall be treated as if it
were production, drilling, completion or reworking operations on the leased
premises, except that the production on which Lessor's royalty is calculated
shall be that proportion of the total unit production which the net acreage
covered by this lease and included in the unit bears to the total gross acreage
in the unit. Pooling in one or more instances shall not exhaust Lessee's pooling
rights hereunder, and Lessee shall have the recurring right but not the
obligation to revise any unit formed hereunder by expansion or contraction or
both, either before or after commencement of production, in order to conform to
the well spacing or density pattern prescribed or permitted by the governmental
authority having jurisdiction, or to conform to any productive acreage
determination made by such governmental authority. Also each such drilling or
production unit, when limited to any one or more formations and to any one

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

or more of the minerals therein or produced therefrom, may from time to time be
enlarged and extended by Lessee to include additionally any other formation or
formations and any other mineral or minerals therein or produced therefrom. In
making such a revision, Lessee shall file or record a written declaration
describing the revised unit and stating the effective date of revision. To the
extent any portion of the leased premises is included in or excluded from the
unit by virtue of such revision, the proportion of unit production on which
royalties are payable hereunder shall thereafter be adjusted accordingly. Lessee
may place and use on each unit created hereunder common measuring and reworking
tanks for production from such unit. In the absence of production in paying
quantities from a unit, or upon permanent cessation thereof, Lessee may
terminate the unit by filing of record a written declaration describing the unit
and stating the date of termination. Pooling hereunder shall not constitute a
cross-conveyance of interests.

6.

If, at the expiration of the primary term, oil, gas or other mineral is not
being produced from said land or land pooled therewith but Lessee is then
engaged in operations for drilling, mining or reworking of any well or mine
thereon or shall have completed a dry hole thereon within ninety (90) days prior
to the end of the primary term, this lease shall remain in force so long as
operations on said well or for the drilling or reworking of an additional well
are commenced and prosecuted (whether on the same or successive wells) with no
cessation of more than ninety (90) consecutive days, and, if they result in
production, so long thereafter as oil, gas or other mineral is produced from
said land or land pooled therewith. If, after the expiration of the primary term
of this lease and after oil, gas or other mineral is produced from said land or
land pooled therewith, production thereof should cease from any cause, this
lease shall not terminate if Lessee commences operations for drilling or
reworking within ninety (90) days after the cessation of such production, but
shall remain in force and effect so long as such operations are prosecuted with
no cessation of more than ninety (90) consecutive days, and if they result in
the production of oil, gas or other mineral, so long thereafter as oil, gas or
other mineral is produced from said land or land pooled therewith. In the event
a well or wells producing oil or gas in paying quantities should be brought in
on adjacent land and within two hundred (200) feet of and draining said land,
Lessee agrees to drill such offset wells as a reasonably prudent operator would
drill under the same or similar circumstances. The judgment of the Lessee, when
not fraudulently exercised, in carrying out the purpose of this lease shall be
conclusive.

7.

Lessee shall have free use of oil, gas and water from said land, except water
from Lessor's wells and tanks, for all operations hereunder including
repressuring, pressure maintenance, cycling and secondary recovery operations,
and the royalty shall be computed after deducting any so used. Any structures
and facilities placed on said land by Lessee for operations hereunder and any
well or wells on said land drilled or used for the injection of salt water or
other fluids may also be used for Lessee's operations on other lands in the same
area. Lessee shall have the right at any time during or after the expiration of
this lease to remove all property and fixtures placed by Lessee on said land,
including the right to draw and remove all casing. When required by Lessor,
Lessee will bury all pipe lines below ordinary plow depth, and no well shall be
drilled within two hundred (200) feet of any residence or barn now on said land
without Lessor's consent.

8.

The rights of either party hereunder may be assigned in whole or in part and the
provisions hereof shall extend to the heirs, representatives, successors and
assigns, but no change or division in ownership of the land or royalties,
however accomplished, shall operate to enlarge the obligations or diminish the
rights of Lessee. No such change or division in the ownership of the land or
royalties shall be binding upon Lessee for any purpose until such person
acquiring any interest has furnished Lessee with the instrument or instruments,
or certified copies thereof, constituting the chain of title from the original
Lessor. An assignment of this lease, in whole, or in part, shall, to the extent
of such assignment, relieve and discharge Lessee of any obligations hereunder,
and, if Lessee or assignee of part or parts hereof shall fail to comply with any
provision of this lease, such default shall not affect this lease insofar as it
covers a part of said land upon which Lessee or any assignee thereof shall not
be in default. Should more than six parties become entitled to royalties
hereunder, Lessee may require the appointment of a single agent to receive
payment for all and may withhold payment until such appointment has been made.

9.

When drilling or other operations are delayed or interrupted by storm, flood or
other act of God, fire, war, rebellion, insurrection, riot, strikes, differences
with workmen, unavailability of material or equipment, failure of carriers to
transport or furnish facilities for transportation, some order, requisition or
necessity of the government or as a result of any cause whatsoever beyond the
control of the Lessee, the time of such delay or interruption shall not be
counted against Lessee, anything in this lease to the contrary notwithstanding.
All express or implied covenants of this lease shall be subject to all Federal
and State laws. Executive orders, rules or regulations and this lease shall not
be terminated, in whole or in part, nor Lessee held liable in damages for
failure to comply therewith if compliance is prevented by, or if such failure is
the result of, any such law, order, rule or regulation. If from such causes
Lessee is prevented from conducting drilling or reworking operations on, or
producing oil or gas from said land or land pooled therewith, the time while
Lessee is so prevented shall not be counted against Lessee, and this lease shall
be extended for a period of time equal to that during which such Lessee is so
prevented from conducting drilling or reworking operations on, or producing oil
or gas from said land or land pooled therewith, notwithstanding any other
provision hereof.

10.

The breach by Lessee of any obligation arising hereunder shall not work a
forfeiture or termination of this lease nor cause a termination or reversion of
the estate created hereby nor be grounds for cancellation hereof in whole or in
part. In the event Lessor considers that operations are not at anytime being
conducted in compliance with this lease, Lessor shall notify Lessee in writing
of the facts relied upon as constituting a breach hereof, and Lessee, if in
default, shall have sixty (60) days after receipt of notice in which to commence
the compliance with the obligations imposed by virtue of this instrument. After
the discovery of oil, gas or other mineral in paying quantities on said land,
Lessee shall reasonably develop the acreage retained hereunder, but in
discharging this obligation it shall in no event be required to drill more than
one (1) well per forty (40) acres, plus an acreage tolerance not to exceed ten
per cent (10%) of forty (40) acres of the area retained hereunder and capable of
producing oil in paying quantities and one (1) well per six hundred forty (640)
acres, plus an acreage tolerance not to exceed ten per cent (10%) of six hundred
forty (640) acres of the area retained hereunder and capable of producing gas or
other mineral in paying quantities.

11.

Lessor hereby warrants and agrees to defend the title to said land, and agrees
that Lessee, at its option, may discharge any tax, mortgage or other lien upon
said land in the event of default of payment by Lessor, and in the event Lessee
does so, it shall be subrogated to such lien with the right to enforce same and
apply royalties accruing hereunder toward satisfying same. Without impairment of
Lessee's rights under the warranty in the event of failure of title, it is
agreed that, if Lessor owns an interest in said land less than the entire fee
simple estate, whether stated hereinabove as a whole or partial interest, then
the royalties to be paid Lessor shall be reduced proportionately. All royalty
interest covered by this lease (whether or not owned by lessor) shall be paid
out of the royalty herein provided. Should any one or more of the parties named
hereinabove as Lessors fail to execute this lease, it shall nevertheless be
binding upon the party or parties executing the same.

12.

Lessee, its successors and assigns, shall have the right at any time to
surrender this lease, in whole or in part, to Lessor or Lessor's heirs,
representatives, successors and assigns by delivering or mailing a release
thereof to the Lessor, or by placing a release thereof of record in the county
in which said land is situated; thereupon Lessee shall be relieved from all
obligations, express or implied, of this agreement as to the acreage so
surrendered, and thereafter the advance annual royalties payable hereunder shall
be reduced in the proportion that the acreage covered hereby is reduced by said
release or releases.
