PER CURIAM:

We have had the benefit of oral argument in this case and have carefully 

considered the briefs and the record. We affirm the judgment of the district court 

on the basis of the comprehensive opinion of the district court dated June 6, 2014, 

with one caveat. We need not decide whether the potential adjustment to the fortyyear term of the lease (i.e. an adjustment based upon a deviance from the expected 

volume of mineral reserves on the smaller Fuller property) was mandatory, or rather 

was subject only to the mutual agreement of the parties. In either case, for the 

reasons fully explored at oral argument, that would not transform the lease from one 

for years into a mere tenancy at will.

AFFIRMED
