AGREEMENT

Defined Terms.  Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Agreement.













	
2.

	
Mineral Land.  The land described in Exhibit 1 to this Amendment shall be referred to as the “Mineral Land.”

The intent of the parties in providing for a Purchase Price calculation based on acres and shares is to allow for adjustments to the Purchase Price to the extent that the Title Commitments, due diligence review and Surveys identify variances in the actual acres or shares owned by the Seller from those believed to be owned by Seller and to allow for the Buyer to reject Dry-Up Shares in accordance with Section 2(c).  However, under no circumstance did the parties intend, nor may the Buyer elect to purchase or the Seller elect to sell, only selected portions of the Property (other than with respect to the Dry-Up Shares).
