    Granting
      Provisions

     

    Section
      2.1. Granting
      Clause.
      For a
      good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby
      acknowledged, Grantor does hereby GRANT, BARGAIN, SELL, TRANSFER, ASSIGN,
      CONVEY, WARRANT and DELIVER to Grantee a two percent (2.0%) of 8/8ths overriding
      royalty interest (proportionately reduced to Grantor’s Working Interest) in and
      to all Hydrocarbons produced and saved from the Subject Interests described
      on
Exhibit
      A
      (the
“Overriding
      Royalty Interests”).
      In
      the event any Lease covers less than the full oil and gas estate in the Lands
      covered by the Lease, the Overriding Royalty Interests shall be reduced in
      the
      proportion that the oil and gas estate covered by the applicable Lease bears
      to
      the full and undivided oil and gas estate in the Lands.

     

     

    TO
      HAVE
      AND TO HOLD the Overriding Royalty Interests unto Grantee, its successors and
      assigns, forever. This Conveyance is made with full substitution and subrogation
      of Grantee in and to all covenants and warranties by others heretofore given
      or
      made.

     

    Section
      2.2. Non-Cost-Bearing
      Interest.
      Except
      for Specified Costs and except as otherwise specifically provided herein, the
      Overriding Royalty Interests shall be free and clear of, and shall bear no
      burden or part of, all “costs of production” as defined in the Wyoming Royalty
      Payment Act, W.S. § 30-5-301
      through 305. 

     

    Section
      2.3. Measurement:
      Hydrocarbons Lost or Used.
      The
      Overriding Royalty Interests shall not apply to any Hydrocarbons that are
      unavoidably lost in the production thereof or in the compression, processing
      or
      transportation of Subject Hydrocarbons prior to the applicable point of sale
      or
      which are used by Grantor or the operator of any Subject Well for the production
      of Subject Hydrocarbons or for the compression or transportation thereof prior
      to the applicable point of sale, in each case only to the extent the same are
      lost or used in the course of operations which are being conducted prudently
      and
      in a good and workmanlike manner.

    Section
      2.4 Renewals
      and Extensions.
      This
      Conveyance and any overriding royalty interest granted hereunder shall apply
      to
      Grantor’s and any Affiliate’s, successor’s, assign’s, agent’s or
      representative’s of Grantor interests in all renewals and extensions, whether
      such renewals and extensions have heretofore been obtained or are hereafter
      obtained and whether or not the same are described in Exhibit
      A.
      

     

    For
      the
      purposes of the preceding paragraph, a new Hydrocarbon lease (as used in this
      paragraph, “lease”)
      that
      covers the same interest (or any part thereof) covered by a prior lease, and
      which is acquired within one year after the expiration, termination, or release
      of such prior lease, shall be treated as a renewal or extension of such prior
      lease. If a court of competent jurisdiction determines that, due to the
      acquisition or ownership by Grantor or any of its Affiliates, successors,
      assigns, agents or representatives of the Grantor, all or a portion of the
      fee
      interest associated with any of the leases (the “Grantor Fee”), the Overriding
      Royalty Interest associated with such lease has terminated, then Grantor or
      any
      of its Affiliates, successors, assigns, agents or representatives, as the case
      may be, shall immediately convey to Grantee a non-participating royalty interest
      in the Grantor Fee equal to the overriding royalty interests set forth in
      Section 2.1 with respect to the Grantor Fee. Such overriding royalty interest
      shall be reduced on a property-by-property basis in the proportion which the
      percentage of the oil and gas estate covered by the Grantor Fee in that property
      bears to one hundred percent (100%) of the oil and gas estate in that property.
      To the fullest extent allowed by applicable law, the royalty interest shall
      be
      conveyed by Grantor to Grantee with the same provisions, representations,
      warranties and covenants that are in this Conveyance.

    Marketing
      of Overriding Royalty Interest Hydrocarbons and Distribution of
      Proceeds

     

    Section
      3.1 Nature
      of Marketing Arrangements.
      Grantor
      shall have the obligation to prudently market, or cause to be prudently
      marketed, the Overriding Royalty Interest Hydrocarbons on behalf of and for
      the
      account of Grantee in transactions with reputable purchasers, with each such
      marketing arrangement, including those arrangements relating to sales, treating,
      transportation, compression and processing, to be made upon terms and conditions
      (the “Marketing
      Terms and Conditions”)
      that,
      in the case of an arms-length sale to a third party, are the same terms and
      conditions under which Grantor sells its share of produced Hydrocarbons (with
      Grantee receiving the same consideration as Grantor and Grantor’s Affiliates
      receive), or in the case of any other sale (a) are the best reasonably
      obtainable in the general field or area, (b) are at least as favorable as
      Grantor or any Affiliate of Grantor obtains for Grantor’s share of the
      Hydrocarbons attributable to the Subject Interests or attributable to any other
      properties in the same field or general area, and (c) take into account and
      give
      due regard to the best interests of Grantee. No Overriding Royalty Interest
      Hydrocarbons are or will become subject to any sales arrangement whereby (i)
      payment for Overriding Royalty Interest Hydrocarbons is or can be deferred
      for a
      substantial period after the Month in which the Overriding Royalty Interest
      Hydrocarbons are delivered (i.e., in excess of 60 days), or (ii) payments may
      be
      made other than by checks, drafts, wire transfer or similar communications
      for
      the immediate payment of money. Grantor shall duly and prudently perform all
      obligations performable by it under any arrangements by which Overriding Royalty
      Interest Hydrocarbons are sold or otherwise marketed, and shall take all
      appropriate measures to enforce the performance under each such arrangement
      of
      the obligations of the other parties thereto. As to any third parties, all
      acts
      of Grantor in marketing the Overriding Royalty Interest Hydrocarbons and all
      sales or other marketing agreements executed by Grantor in accordance herewith
      shall be binding on Grantee and the Overriding Royalty Interests; it being
      understood that the right and obligation to market the Overriding Royalty
      Interest Hydrocarbons is at all times vested in Grantor, and Grantee does not
      have any such right or obligation. Accordingly, it shall not be necessary for
      Grantee to join in any production sales or marketing agreements or any
      amendments to existing production sales or marketing agreements.

      shall receive all payments for (or on account of) Overriding Royalty Interest
      Hydrocarbons on or before noon on the last business day of each month in which
      proceeds from sale are received by Grantor, net of Specified Costs. All payments
      shall be sent to Grantee by the purchaser of the Hydrocarbons from the Subject
      Interests by wire transfer or check to such account or location as Grantee
      may
      direct from time to time in writing. If any proceeds are received by Grantor
      for
      or on account of Overriding Royalty Interest Hydrocarbons, such proceeds shall
      immediately be paid to Grantee. Grantor shall cause to be prepared and executed
      such division orders, transfer orders, or instructions in lieu thereof, as
      may
      be necessary to cause payments to be made directly to Grantee by the purchaser
      of the Hydrocarbons from the Subject Interests.

     

    Section

      Records, Statements and Payments.

    Representations,
      Warranties and Covenants

     

    Grantor
      hereby represents, warrants and covenants for the benefit of Grantee as
      follows:

     

    Section
      4.1 Operations.
      The
      Subject Interests and properties unitized therewith are being (and, to the
      extent the same could adversely affect the ownership or operation of the Subject
      Interests after the date hereof, have during Grantor’s tenure of ownership been)
      maintained, operated and developed in a good and workmanlike manner, in
      accordance with prudent industry standards and in conformity with all applicable
      laws, rules, regulations and orders of all duly constituted authorities having
      jurisdiction and in conformity with all Hydrocarbon leases, deeds and other
      contracts and agreements forming a part of or pertaining to the Subject
      Interests. Grantor, directly or through appropriate agreements with the operator
      of the Subject Interests, has all governmental licenses and permits necessary
      or
      appropriate to own and operate the Subject Interests, and Grantor has not
      received any notices of any material violations in respect of any such licenses
      or permits. Grantor shall develop, operate and maintain the Subject Interests
      as
      would a prudent operator. Decisions with regard to the conduct of operations
      will be made by Grantor without considering the effect of the Overriding Royalty
      Interests as burdens on the Subject Interests. As to any portions of the Subject
      Interests as to which Grantor is not the operator, Grantor shall take all
      actions and exercise all legal rights and remedies as are available to it to
      cause the operator to so develop, maintain and operate such portions of the
      Subject Interests in accordance with this Section 4.1.

    Section
      4.2. Title;
      Permitted Encumbrances.
      Grantor
      has good and defensible title to the Subject Interests, free and clear of all
      liens, security interests, and encumbrances except for Permitted Encumbrances.
      Such qualification as to Permitted Encumbrances is made for the sole purpose
      of
      limiting the representations and warranties of Grantor made herein, and is
      not
      intended to restrict the description of the Subject Interests, nor is it
      intended that reference herein to any Permitted Encumbrance shall subordinate
      the Overriding Royalty Interests to such Permitted Encumbrance or otherwise
      cause this Conveyance or any rights of Grantee hereunder to be made subject
      to,
      or reduced or encumbered by, such Permitted Encumbrance. Grantor hereby binds
      itself to WARRANT and FOREVER DEFEND all and singular title to the Overriding
      Royalty Interests unto Grantee, its successors and assigns, against every Person
      lawfully claiming or to claim the same or any part thereof. This Conveyance
      is
      made with full substitution and subrogation of Grantee in and to all covenants,
      representations and warranties by others heretofore given or made with respect
      to the Subject Interests.

     

    Section
      4.3. Leases,
      Deeds and Contracts; Performance of Obligations.
      The
      Hydrocarbon leases, contracts, servitudes, fees, deeds, and other agreements
      forming a part of the Subject Interests, to the extent the same cover or
      otherwise relate to the Subject Interests, are in full force and effect, and
      Grantor agrees to so maintain them, or to cause them to be so maintained, in
      full force and effect to the extent a prudent operator, without giving effect
      to
      the Overriding Royalty Interests or this Conveyance, would do so.

     

    Section
      4.4 Ad
      Valorem and Severance Taxes.
      Grantor
      shall timely pay and discharge (or cause to be paid and discharged) (a) all
      ad
      valorem taxes assessed against or with respect to the Subject Interests or
      any
      part thereof, and (b) all production, severance, excise and other taxes assessed
      against, or measured by, the Overriding Royalty Interest Hydrocarbons or the
      value, or proceeds, of the Overriding Royalty Interest Hydrocarbons.


     

    Section
      4.5. Imbalances.

     

    (a)
      Definitions.
      As used
      herein, “undertake”
means
      that an owner of production from a Subject Well takes a lesser share of
      Hydrocarbons produced from such Subject Well than the share which such owner
      is
      entitled to take by virtue of its ownership interest, determined without regard
      to any rights under any production balancing agreement or similar arrangement
      or
      any rights under common law with respect to production balancing, and
“overtake”
means
      that an owner of production from a Subject Well takes a greater share of
      Hydrocarbons produced from such Subject Well than the share which such owner
      is
      entitled to take by virtue of its ownership interest, again determined without
      regard to any rights under any production balancing agreement or similar
      arrangement or any rights under common law with respect to production balancing.
      If an owner undertakes, the amount of production not taken is “underproduction”
and
      if
      an owner overtakes, the extra share of production taken is “overproduction”.

    (b)
      No
      Undertakes Without Consent.
      Grantor
      will not undertake or overtake from a Subject Well (either for itself or on
      behalf of Grantee) if an Affiliate of Grantor is the party that would thereby
      be
      the party which overtakes or undertakes. Grantor may otherwise elect to
      undertake or overtake in its reasonable business judgment exercised for the
      benefit of itself and Grantee. If any undertake by Grantor occurs in violation
      of this subsection (b), the quantity of Overriding Royalty Interest Hydrocarbons
      for which Grantor must account to Grantee hereunder shall be determined (to
      the
      maximum extent allowed under applicable law) without regard
      thereto.

     

    (c)
      No
      Balancing From Other Properties.
      Grantor
      will not allow any Subject Interest to be subject to any production balancing
      arrangement under which one or more third Persons may overtake a portion of
      the
      production attributable to such Subject Interest as a result of undertakes
      or
      overtakes (or other actions or inactions) with respect to properties other
      than
      such Subject Interest. If, however, any overtake by any such third Person occurs
      in violation of this subsection (c), the quantity of Overriding Royalty Interest
      Hydrocarbons for which Grantor must account to Grantee hereunder shall be
      determined (to the maximum extent allowed under applicable law) without regard
      thereto. For the purposes of this subsection (c), a production unit in which
      all
      parties have uniform interests shall be considered to be a single Subject
      Interest.

      Grantor
      agrees to execute and deliver to Grantee, and, to the extent it is within
      Grantor’s power to do so, to cause any third parties to execute and deliver to
      Grantee, all such other and additional instruments and to do all such further
      acts and things as may be necessary or appropriate to more fully vest in and
      assure to Grantee, from time to time, all of the rights, titles, interests,
      remedies, powers and privileges herein granted or intended so to
      be.

     

    Section
      6.2. No
      Waiver.

      failure of Grantee to insist upon strict performance of a covenant hereunder
      or
      of any obligation hereunder, irrespective of the length of time for which such
      failure continues, shall not be a waiver of Grantee’s right to demand strict
      compliance in the future. No consent or waiver, express or implied, to or of
      any
      breach or default in the performance of any obligation hereunder shall
      constitute a consent or waiver to or of any other breach or default in the
      performance of the same or any other obligation hereunder. No provision of
      this
      Conveyance shall be deemed a waiver by Grantee of any rights granted to Grantee
      under applicable Law governing overriding royalty interests and the rights
      and
      privileges of the owners thereof.

     

    Section
      6.3. Applicable
      Law.

      provision hereof is determined to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable for
      any
      reason whatsoever, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not
      affect the validity, legality and enforceability of the remainder of this
      Conveyance.
