agreement to conform with the purposes of this agreement. Such expansion shall
be effected in the following manner:

 

(a)  The working interest owner or owners of a tract or tracts
desiring to bring such tract or tracts into this Unit shall file an application
therefor with Unit Operator requesting such admission.

 

(b)  Unit Operator shall circulate a notice of the proposed
expansion to each Working Interest Owner in the Unit and in the tract proposed
to be included in the Unit, setting out the basis for admission, the Unit
Participation to be assigned to each tract in the enlarged Unit and other
pertinent data. After negotiation (at Working Interest Owners’ meeting or
otherwise) if Working Interest Owners having in the aggregate eighty percent
(80%) Phase II Unit Participation have agreed to such tract or tracts being
brought into the Unit, then Unit Operator shall, after preliminary concurrence
by the Director:

 

(1)  Prepare a notice of proposed
expansion describing the contemplated changes in the boundaries of the Unit
Area, the reason therefor, the basis for admission of the additional Tract or
Tracts, the Unit Participation to be assigned thereto and the effective date
thereof; and

 

6

 

(2)  Deliver copies of said notice to the Commissioner, the
Supervisor, each Working Interest Owner and to the lessee and lessor whose
interests are affected, advising such parties that thirty (30) days will be
allowed for submission to the Unit Operator of any objection to such proposed
expansion; and

 

(3)  File, upon the expiration of said  (30) day
period as set out in (2) immediately above, with the Commission and
Supervisor the following: (a) Evidence of mailing or delivering copies of
such notice of expansion; (b) An application for such expansion;
(c) An instrument containing the appropriate joinders in compliance with
the participation requirements of Article XIV (Tracts Qualified for
Participation); and (d) Copy of any objections received.

 

(4)  There shall be no retroactive allocation or adjustment of
Unit expense or of interests in the Unitized Substances produced, or proceeds
thereof prior to the effective date of expansion and qualification under
Article XIV; however, this limitation shall not prevent an adjustment of
investment by reason of the enlargement.

 

4.2
The expansion shall, after due consideration of all pertinent information and
approval by the Supervisor, become effective as of the date prescribed in the
notice thereof, preferably the first day of a month subsequent to the date of
notice.

 

4.3
In any approved expansion of the Unit Area the revised Tract Participations of
those tracts which were committed prior to each such expansion shall remain in
the same ratio one to another.

UNITIZED LAND AND UNITIZED SUBSTANCES

 

5.1
All land committed to this agreement as to the Unitized Formation shall
constitute land referred to herein as “Unitized Land” or “land subject to this
agreement”. All oil, gas, gaseous substances, sulphur contained in gas,
condensate, distillate and all associated and constituent liquid or liquefiable
hydrocarbons produced from the lands committed to this agreement

 

7

 

as
to the Unitized Formation are unitized under the terms of this agreement and
herein are called “Unitized Substances”. Nothing herein shall be construed to
unitize, pool or in any way affect the oil, gas and other minerals that may be
produced from any formation other than the Unitized Formation as above
described.

 

ARTICLE VI

 

UNIT OPERATOR

 

6.1
Reserve Oil and Gas Company is hereby designated the Unit Operator, and by
signing this instrument as Unit Operator, it agrees and consents to accept the
duties and obligations of Unit Operator for the operation, development and
production of Unitized Substances as herein provided. Whenever reference is
made herein to the Unit Operator, such reference means the Unit Operator acting
in that capacity and not as an owner of interests in Unitized Substances, and
the term “Working Interest Owner”, when used herein, shall include or refer to
the Unit Operator as the owner of a working interest when such an interest is
owned by it.

 

ARTICLE VII

 

RESIGNATION OR REMOVAL OF UNIT OPERATOR

 

7.1
Unit Operator shall have the right to resign at any time, but such resignation
shall not become effective as to release Unit
Operator from the duties and obligations of
Unit Operator and terminate Unit Operator’s rights as such for a period of six
(6) months after written notice of intention to resign has been given by
Unit Operator to all Working Interest Owners and the
Supervisor, and until all Unit Wells are placed in a condition satisfactory to
the Supervisor for suspension, abandonment, or operations, whichever is
intended by the Unit Manager, unless a new Unit Operator shall have taken over
and assumed the duties and obligations of Unit Operator prior to the expiration
of said period.

 

7.2
The Unit Operator shall be subject to removal by Working Interest Owners having
in the aggregate eighty percent (80%) or more of the Phase II Unit
Participation remaining after excluding the Phase II Unit

 

8

 

Participation
of the Unit Operator. Such removal shall be effective upon notice thereof to
the Supervisor.

 

7.3
In all such instances of effective resignation or removal, until a successor to
Unit Operator is selected and approved as hereinafter provided, the Working
Interest Owners shall be jointly responsible for the performance of the duties
of the Unit Operator and shall, not later than thirty (30) days before such
resignation or removal becomes effective, appoint a Unit Manager to represent
them in any action to be taken hereunder.

 

7.4
The resignation or removal of Unit Operator under this agreement shall not
terminate its right, title or interest as the owner of a Working Interest or
other interest in Unitized Substances, but upon the resignation or removal of
Unit Operator becoming effective, such Unit Operator shall deliver possession
of all wells, equipment, books and records, materials, appurtenances and any
other assets, used in connection with the Unit operations and owned by the
Working Interest Owners to the new duly qualified successor Unit Operator or to
the Unit Manager if no such new Unit Operator is elected, to be used for the
purpose of conducting Unit Operations hereunder. Nothing herein shall be
construed as authorizing the removal of any material, equipment or
appurtenances needed for the preservation of any wells. Nothing herein
contained shall be construed to relieve or discharge any Unit Operator who
resigns or is removed hereunder from any liability or duties accruing or
performable by it prior to the effective date of such resignation or removal.

 

ARTICLE VIII

 

SUCCESSOR UNIT OPERATOR

 

8.1
Whenever the Unit Operator shall tender its resignation as Unit Operator or
shall be  removed as
hereinabove provided, the Working Interest Owners shall select  a successor Unit
Operator as herein provided. Such selection shall not become effective until
(a) a Unit Operator so selected shall accept in writing the duties and
responsibilities of Unit Operator, and (b) the selection shall have been
approved by the Supervisor. If no successor

 

9

 

Unit
Operator is selected and qualified as herein provided, the Director may declare
this agreement terminated.

 

8.2
In selecting a successor Unit Operator the affirmative vote of three or more
Working Interest Owners having a total of sixty-five percent (65%) or more of
the total voting interest in the Unit shall prevail; provided, that if any one Working Interest Owner
has a voting interest of more than thirty-five percent (35%), its negative vote
or failure to vote shall not be regarded as sufficient unless supported by the
vote of one or more other Working Interest Owners having a total voting
interest of at least five percent (5%). If the Unit Operator who is removed
votes only to succeed itself or fails to vote, the successor Unit Operator may
be selected by the affirmative vote of at least fifty-one percent (51%) of the
voting interest remaining after excluding the voting interest of Unit Operator
so removed. In voting under this Section 8 each Working Interest Owner
shall have a voting interest equal to its Phase II Participation.

 

ARTICLE IX

 

ACCOUNTING PROVISIONS AND UNIT OPERATING AGREEMENT

 

9.1
Costs and expenses incurred by Unit Operator in conducting Unit operations
hereunder shall be paid, apportioned among and borne by the Working Interest
Owners in accordance with the Unit Operating Agreement. Such Unit Operating
Agreement shall also provide the manner in which the Working Interest Owners
shall be  entitled to receive their respective proportionate
and allocated share of the benefits accruing hereto in conformity with their
underlying operating agreements, leases or other independent contracts and such
other rights and obligations as between Unit Operator and the Working Interest
Owners as may be agreed upon by the Unit Operator and the Working Interest
Owners; however, no such Unit Operating Agreement shall be deemed either to
modify any of the terms and conditions of this Unit Agreement or to relieve the
Unit Operator of any right or obligation established under this agreement and
in case of any inconsistency or conflict between this agreement and the Unit
Operating Agreement, this Unit Agreement shall prevail. Three (3)

 

10

 

true
copies of any Unit Operating Agreement executed pursuant to this
Article shall be filed with the Supervisor as required prior to approval
of this agreement.

 

ARTICLE X

 

RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF UNIT OPERATOR

 

10.1
Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, the exclusive right,
privilege and duty of exercising any and all rights of the parties hereto which
are necessary or convenient for prospecting for, producing, storing, allocating
and distributing the Unitized Substances are hereby delegated to and shall be
exercised by the Unit Operator as herein provided. Upon request by Unit
Operator, acceptable evidence of title to said rights shall be deposited with
said Unit Operator, and together with this agreement, shall constitute and
define the rights, privileges and obligations of Unit Operator. Nothing herein,
however, shall be construed to transfer title to any land or to any lease or
operating agreement, it being understood that under this agreement, the Unit
Operator, in its capacity as Unit Operator, shall exercise the rights of
possession and use vested in the parties hereto only for the purposes herein
specified.

 

ARTICLE XI

 

PLAN OF OPERATIONS

 

11.1
It is recognized and agreed by the parties hereto that all of the land subject
to this agreement is reasonably proved to be productive of Unitized Substances
in paying quantities and that the object and purpose of this agreement is to
formulate and to put into effect a secondary recovery project in order to
effect additional recovery of Unitized Substances, prevent waste and conserve
natural resources consistent with good engineering practices expected of a
prudent operator. The parties hereto agree that the Unit Operator may, subject
to the consent and approval of a plan of operation by the Working Interest
Owners and the Supervisor, inject into the Unitized Formation through any well
or wells completed therein, brine, water, air, gas, oil, liquid petroleum gases
and any one or more other substances or combinations of

 

11

 

substances
whether produced from the Unitized Formation or not, and that the location of
input wells and the rate of injection therein and the rate of production shall
be governed by standards of good geologic and petroleum engineering practices
and conservation methods. The Working Interest Owners and the Supervisor shall
be furnished periodic reports on the progress of the plan of operation and any
revision or changes thereto; provided, however, that any revision of the plan of
operation involving a deviation from the initial plan of operation shall be
subject to the consent and approval of the Working Interest Owners and the
Supervisor.

 

11.2
The initial plan of operation shall be filed with the Supervisor concurrently
with the filing of this Unit Agreement for final approval. Said initial plan of
operation and all revisions thereof shall be as complete and adequate as the
Supervisor may determine to be necessary for timely operation consistent
herewith. Reasonable diligence shall be exercised in complying with the
obligations of the approved plan of operation. Thereafter, from time to time
before the expiration of any existing plan, the Unit Operator shall submit for
like approval a plan for an additional specified period of operation.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, herein contained, if Unit Operator
fails to commence Unit Operations for the secondary recovery of Unitized
Substances from the Unit Area within six months after the effective date of
this agreement or any extension thereto approved by the Supervisor, this
agreement shall terminate automatically upon the expiration of said six month
period.

 

11.3
The parties hereto subject to prior rights, if any, grant to the Unit
Operator the use of brine or water or both from any formation in and under the
Unitized Land for injection into the Unitized Formation insofar as these rights
are granted by the oil and gas leases.

 

ARTICLE XII

 

EASEMENTS OR USE OF SURFACE

 

12.1
The parties hereto, to the extent of their rights and interest, hereby grant to
Working Interest Owners the right to use as much of the
surface

 

12

 

of
the land within the Unit Area as may reasonably be necessary for Unit
Operations, including the free use of water from the Unit Area for Unit
Operations, except water from any well, lake, pond or irrigation ditch of
Royalty Owners, provided that, nothing herein shall be construed as leasing or
otherwise conveying to Working Interest Owners a site for a water, gas
injection, processing or other plant or camp site.

 

ARTICLE XIII

 

TRACT PARTICIPATION

 

13.1
In Exhibit “C” attached hereto there are listed and numbered the various
Tracts within the Unit Area, and set forth opposite each Tract are figures
which represent the percentage of participation allocated to each Tract in the
Unit Area assuming that all tracts are committed hereto.

 

13.2
Tract Participation of each Tract shall be as shown within Exhibit “C” and
shall be determined as follows:

 

(a) Phase I
Participation: Beginning at 7:00 A. M. on the effective date hereof
and remaining in effect until 7:00 A. M. on the first day of the month next
following the month in which the cumulative amount of oil produced from the
Tansill, Yates, Seven Rivers and Queen Formations underlying all of the Tracts
described in Original Exhibit “B” from and after January 1, 1968,
equals 1,000,000 barrels, the Tract Participation of each Tract shall be as
shown in Phase I of Exhibit “C” and shall be determined from the following
formula:

 

Tract
Participation Percentage, Phase I equals 100%

 

A

B

 

Where:                  A equals total income from oil, casinghead gas
and dry gas produced from such Tract from the Unitized Formation during the
period January 1, 1967 to January 1, 1968.

 

B
equals the summation of the total income from oil, casinghead gas and dry gas
produced from all Tracts

 

13

 

in
the Unit Area from the Unitized Formation during the period January 1,
1967 to January 1, 1968.

 

(b) Phase II Participation: Beginning at
7:00 A.M. on the first day of the month next following the date when the
1,000,000 barrels referred to in (a) above shall have been produced, the
Tract Participation of each Tract shall be as shown under Phase II of
Exhibit “C” and shall be determined from the following formula:

 

Tract
Participation Percentage, Phase II equals 100%

 

C

D

 

Where:                  C equals the estimated quantity of oil
ultimately recoverable from the Unitized Formation underlying each such tract
by primary recovery operations.

 

D
equals the summation of the estimated quantity of oil ultimately recoverable
from the Unitized Formation underlying all such Tracts by primary recovery
operations.

 

13.3
In the event less than all tracts are qualified for participation on the effective
date hereof, the Tract Participations shall be calculated on the basis of all
qualified Tracts rather than all Tracts in the Unit Area and Exhibit “C”
shall be revised by the Unit Operator accordingly to show the percentage of
participation of each tract.

 

ARTICLE XIV

 

TRACTS QUALIFIED FOR PARTICIPATION

 

14.1
As the objective of this agreement is to have lands in the Unit Area operated
and entitled to participation under the terms hereof, it is agreed that,
notwithstanding anything else herein, no joinder shall be considered a
commitment to this agreement unless the Tract involved is qualified under this
Article. On and after the effective date hereof, the Tracts within the Unit
Area which shall be entitled to participation (as provided in Article XIII

 

14

 

hereof)
in the production of Unitized Substances therefrom shall be those Tracts within
the Unit Area as shown on Exhibit “A” and described in Exhibit “B”
that corner or have a common boundary, (Tracts separated only by a public
highway or a railroad right-of-way shall be considered to have a common
boundary), and which are otherwise qualified as follows: (The record title
owner shall replace the Royalty Interest with respect to Federal lands for the
purposes of this Article.)

 

(a) Each
Tract as to which Working Interest Owners owning one hundred percent (100%) of
the Working Interest therein have become parties hereto and as to which Royalty
Owners owning seventy-five percent (75%) or more of the Royalty Interest
therein have become parties hereto.

 

(b) Each
Tract as to which Working Interest Owners owning one hundred percent (100%) of
the Working Interest therein have become parties hereto and as to which Royalty
Owners owning less than seventy-five percent (75%) of the Royalty Interest
therein have become parties hereto, and, further, as to which:

 

(1)  All Working Interest Owners in any such Tract have joined
in a request for the inclusion of such Tract, and

 

(2)  Seventy-five percent (75%) of the combined voting
interests of Working Interest Owners in all Tracts meeting the requirements of
paragraph (a) hereof have voted in favor of including such Tract.

 

For
the purpose of this paragraph (b), a Working Interest Owner’s “voting interest”
shall be equal to the ratio (expressed in percent) which its aggregate Phase I
Participation in all Tracts qualifying under paragraph (a) bears to the
total Phase I Participation of all Working Interest Owners in all Tracts
qualifying under paragraph (a).

 

(c) Each
Tract as to which Working Interest Owners owning less than one hundred percent
(100%) of the Working Interest therein have become parties hereto, regardless
of the percentage of Royalty Interest therein which is committed hereto, and,
further, as to which:

 

15

 

(I) The
Working Interest Owner operating any such Tract and all of the other Working
Interest Owners in such Tract who have become parties hereto have joined in a
request for inclusion of such Tract and at least 85% of such parties have
executed and delivered an indemnity agreement indemnifying and agreeing to hold
harmless the other Working Interest Owners in the Unit, their successors and
assigns, against all claims and demands which arise out of the inclusion of
such Tract, which may be made by the owners of Working Interest in such tract
who are not parties hereto; and

 

(2) Seventy-five
percent (75%) of the combined voting interest of Working Interest Owners in all
Tracts meeting the requirements of paragraph (a) and (b) have voted
in favor of the inclusion of such Tract and acceptance of the indemnity
agreement.

 

For
the purpose of this paragraph (c), a Working Interest Owner’s voting interest
shall be equal to the ratio (expressed in percent) which its aggregate Phase I
Participation in all Tracts qualifying under paragraphs (a) and
(b) bears to the total Phase I participation of all Working Interest
Owner’s in all Tracts qualifying under paragraphs (a) and (b). Upon
qualification of such a Tract, the Unit Participation which would have been
attributed to the nonsubscribing owners of the Working Interest in such Tract,
had they become parties to this agreement and the Unit Operating Agreement,
shall be attributed to the Working Interest Owners in such Tract who have
become parties to such agreements, in proportion to their respective Working
interests in the Tract.

 

(d) Each
Tract, regardless of the percentage of Working Interest or Royalty Interest
therein that has been committed hereto, as to which (1) the Working
Interest Owner who operates the Tract has become a party to this agreement and
(2) Working Interest Owners having seventy-five percent (75%) of the
combined voting interest of Working Interest Owners in all Tracts that meet the
requirements of paragraphs (a), (b) and (c) vote in favor of the
inclusion of such Tract. For the purpose of this paragraph (d) the voting
interest

 

16

 

of
a Working Interest Owner shall be equal to the ratio that its Phase I Unit
Participation attributable to Tracts that qualify under paragraphs (a),  (b) and
(c) bears to the total Phase I Unit Participation of all Working Interest
Owners attributable to all Tracts that qualify under paragraphs (a),
(b) and (c). Upon qualification of such a Tract, the Unit Participation
that would have been attributed to the nonsubscribing owners of the Working
Interest in such Tract, had they become parties to this agreement and the Unit
Operating Agreement shall be attributed to the Working Interest Owners in all
Tracts that meet the requirements of paragraphs (a), (b) and (c) in
proportion to their respective Unit Participations attributable to the Tracts
that qualify under paragraphs (a), (b) and (c).

 

14.2
If on the effective date of this agreement there is any Tract or Tracts which
have not been qualified as above provided, then such Tract or Tracts shall not
be entitled to participate hereunder. Unit Operator shall, when submitting this
agreement for final approval by the Supervisor, file therewith, or as soon as
practicable, a schedule of those Tracts which are entitled to participate in
the production of Unitized Substances. This schedule of participation shall be
revised Exhibit “C” and upon approval thereof by the Supervisor shall
become a part of this agreement and shall govern the allocation of production of
Unitized Substances until the effective date of a new  schedule approved by the
Supervisor.

 

ARTICLE XV

 

ALLOCATION OF UNITIZED SUBSTANCES

 

15.1
All Unitized Substances produced and saved (less, save and except any part of
such Unitized Substances used in conformity with good operating practices on
Unitized Land for drilling, operating, camp and other production or development
purposes and for pressure maintenance or unavoidable loss) shall be apportioned
among and allocated to the qualified Tracts within the Unit Area in accordance
with the respective Tract Participation effective hereunder during the
respective periods such Unitized Substances were produced, as set

 

17

 

forth
in the schedule of participation, Exhibit “C”. The amount of Unitized
Substances so allocated to each Tract (regardless of whether it be more or less
than the amount of the actual production of Unitized Substances from the well
or wells, if any, on such Tract), shall, for all intents, uses and purposes, be
deemed to have been produced from such Tract.

 

15.2
The Unitized Substances allocated to each Tract shall be distributed among, or
accounted for, to the parties executing, consenting to or ratifying this
agreement who otherwise are entitled to share in the production from such Tract
in the same manner, in the same proportion, and upon the same conditions, as
they would have participated and shared in the production from such Tracts, or
in the proceeds thereof, had this agreement not been entered into; and with the
same legal force and effect.

 

15.3
No Tract committed to this agreement and qualified for participation as above
provided shall be subsequently excluded from participation hereunder on account
of depletion of Unitized Substances, and nothing herein contained shall be
construed as requiring any retroactive adjustment for production obtained prior
to the effective date of the joinder of any Tract.

 

15.4
If the Working Interest and the Royalty Interest in any Tract are divided with
respect to separate parcels or portions of such Tract and owned severally by
different persons, the percentage participation assigned to such Tract shall,
in the absence of a recordable instrument executed by all owners and furnished
to Unit Operator fixing the divisions of ownership, be divided among such
parcels or portions in proportion to the number of surface acres in each.

 

15.5
The Unitized Substances allocated to each Tract shall be delivered in kind to
the respective Working Interest Owners and parties entitled thereto by virtue
of the ownership of Oil and Gas Rights therein or by purchase from such owners.
Each Working Interest Owner and the parties entitled thereto shall have the
continuing right to receive such production in kind at a common point within
the Unit Area and to sell or dispose of the same as it

 

18

 

sees fit. Each such
party shall have the right to construct, maintain, and operate all necessary
facilities for that purpose on Unitized Land, provided the same are so
constructed, maintained and operated as not to interfere with operations
carried on pursuant hereto. Subject to Article XVI hereof, any extra expenditure
incurred by Unit Operator by reason of the delivery in kind of any portion of
the Unitized Substances shall be borne by the party receiving the same in kind.
If a Royalty Owner has the right to take in kind a share of Unitized Substances
and fails to do so, the Working interest Owner whose Working Interest is
subject to such Royalty Interest shall be entitled to take in kind such share
of the Unitized Substances.

 

15.6
If any party fails to take in kind or separately dispose of its share of
Unitized Substances, Unit Operator shall have the right for the time being and
subject to revocation at will by the party owning the share, to sell, or
otherwise dispose of such production to itself or to others on a day to day
basis at not less than the prevailing market price in the area for like
production. The proceeds of the Unitized Substances so disposed of by Unit
Operator shall be paid to the party entitled thereto.

 

15.7
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Unit Operator shall not make a sale into
interstate commerce of any Working Interest Owner’s share of gas production
without first giving such Working Interest Owner sixty (60) days notice of such
intended sale.

 

15.8
Any Working Interest Owner receiving in kind or separately disposing of all or
any part of the Unitized Substances allocated to any Tract, or receiving the
proceeds therefrom if the same is sold or purchased by Unit Operator, shall be
responsible for the payment of all Royalty on the lease or leases and Tracts
contributed by it and received into the Unit, and each such party shall hold
each other party hereto harmless against all claims, demands and causes of
action for such Royalty on the lease or leases  and Tracts contributed by it
to the Unit.

 

15.9
If, after the effective date of this agreement, there is any Tract or Tracts
that are subsequently committed hereto, as provided in Article

 

19

 

IV
(Expansion of Unit Area) hereof, or any Tract or Tracts within the Unit Area
not committed hereto as of the effective date hereof but which are subsequently
committed hereto under the provisions of Article XXXII (Non-Joinder and
Subsequent Joinder) or if any Tract is excluded from the Unit Agreement as
provided for in Article XXX (Loss of Title), the schedule of participation
as shown in Exhibit “C”, subject to Article XIII (Tract
Participation), and Article XIV (Tracts Qualified for Participation),
shall be revised by the Unit Operator and distributed to the Working Interest
Owners and the Supervisor to show the revised Tract Participation of all the
qualified Tracts; and the revised Exhibit “C”, upon approval by the
Supervisor shall govern all the allocation of production of Unitized Substances
from and after the effective date thereof until a revised schedule is approved
as hereinabove provided.

 

15.10
Unit Operator may use as much of the Unitized Substances as may reasonably be
deemed necessary for the operation and development of the Unitized Lands,
including but not limited to the injection of Unitized Substances into the
Unitized Formation, provided such operations are in accordance with a plan of
operations approved by the Supervisor.

 

15.11
No Royalty shall be payable upon or with respect to Unitized Substances used or
consumed in the operation or development of the Unitized Land or which may be
otherwise unavoidably lost or consumed in production, handling, treating,
transportation or storing of Unitized Substances, provided such operations are
in accordance with a plan of operations approved by  the Supervisor.

 

ARTICLE XVI

 

ROYALTY SETTLEMENT

 

16.1
The United States of America and all Royalty Owners who, under an existing
contract, are entitled to take in kind a share of the substances produced from
any Tract unitized hereunder, shall continue to be entitled to such right to
take in kind their share of the Unitized Substances allocated to such Tract,
and Unit Operator shall make deliveries of such Royalty share taken in kind in
conformity with the applicable contracts, laws and regulations.

 

20

 

Settlement
for Royalty Interest not taken in kind shall be made by Working Interest Owners
responsible therefor under existing contracts, laws and regulations on or
before the last day of each month for Unitized Substances produced during the
preceding calendar month; provided, however, that nothing herein contained
shall operate to relieve the lessee of any land from their respective lease
obligations for the payment of any Royalty due under their leases,  except that such
Royalty shall be computed on Unitized Substances as allocated to each Tract in
accordance with the terms of this Unit Agreement.

 

16.2
If the amount of production or the proceeds thereof accruing to any Royalty
Owner (except the United States of America) in a Tract depends upon the average
production per well or the average pipeline runs per well from such Tract
during any period of time, then such production shall be determined from and
after the effective date hereof by dividing the quantity of Unitized Substances
allocated hereunder to such Tract during such period of time by the number of
wells located thereon capable of producing as of the effective date hereof,
provided, however, any Tract without a producible well on said effective  date shall, for
the purposes herein contained, be considered as having one such well thereon.

 

16.3
If gas, obtained from lands not subject to this agreement is introduced into
the Unitized Formation, for use in repressuring, stimulation of production or
increasing ultimate recovery in conformity with a plan approved pursuant to
Article XI (Plan of Operations), a like amount of gas, less appropriate
deductions for loss or depletion from any cause, may be withdrawn from the
Unitized Formation, Royalty free as to dry gas but not as to the products extracted
therefrom; provided such withdrawal shall be pursuant to such conditions and
formulas as may be prescribed or approved by the Supervisor; and provided
further that such right of withdrawal shall terminate as of the effective date
of termination of the Unit Agreement.

 

16.4
Royalty due the United States shall be computed as provided in the operating
regulations and paid in value or delivered in kind as to all

 

21

 

Unitized
Substances on the basis of the amounts thereof allocated to Unitized Federal
lands as provided herein at the rate or rates as may be authorized by law or
regulation; provided, that for leases on which the royalty rate depends on the
daily average production per well, such average production shall be determined
in accordance with the operating regulations as though the unitized lands were
one lease.

 

16.5
Each Royalty Owner (other than the United States of America) that executes this
agreement represents and warrants that it is the owner of a Royalty Interest in
a Tract or Tracts within the Unit Area as its interest appears in
Exhibit “B” attached hereto. If any Royalty Interest in a Tract or Tracts
should be lost by title failure or otherwise in whole or in part, during the
term of this agreement, then the Royalty Interest of the party representing
himself to be the owner thereof shall be reduced proportionately and the
interest of other parties shall be adjusted accordingly.

 

ARTICLE XVII

 

RENTAL SETTLEMENT

 

17.1
Rentals or minimum royalties due on leases committed hereto shall be paid by
Working Interest Owners responsible therefor under existing contracts, laws and
regulations provided that nothing herein contained shall operate to relieve the
lessees of any land from their respective lease obligations for the payment of
any rental or minimum royalty in lieu thereof, due under their leases. Rental
or minimum Royalty for lands of the United States of America subject to this
agreement shall be paid at the rate specified in the respective leases from the
United States of America, unless rental or minimum Royalty is waived, suspended
or reduced by law or by approval of the Secretary or his duly authorized
representative.

 

ARTICLE XVIII

 

CONSERVATION

 

18.1
Operations hereunder and production of Unitized Substances shall be conducted
to provide for the most economical and efficient recovery of

 

22

 

said
substances without waste, as defined by or pursuant to Federal and State laws
and regulations.

 

ARTICLE XIX

 

DRAINAGE

 

19.
1 The Unit Operator shall take such measures as the Supervisor deems
appropriate and adequate to prevent drainage of Unitized Substances from
Unitized Land by wells on land not subject to this agreement.

 

ARTICLE XX

 

LEASES AND CONTRACTS CONFORMED AND EXTENDED

 

20.1
The terms, conditions and provisions of all leases, subleases and other
contracts relating to exploration, drilling, development or operation for oil
or gas on lands committed to this agreement are hereby expressly modified and
amended to the extent necessary to make the same conform to the provisions
hereof, but otherwise to remain in full force and effect, and the parties
hereto hereby consent that the Secretary, by his approval hereof, or by the
approval hereof by his duly authorized representative, does hereby establish,
alter, change or revoke the drilling, producing, rental minimum Royalty and
Royalty requirements of Federal leases committed hereto and the
regulations of Federal leases committed hereto and the regulations in respect
thereto to conform said requirements to the provisions of this agreement.

 

20.2
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, all leases, sub-leases and
contracts are particularly modified in accordance with the following:

 

(a)  The development and operation of lands subject to this
agreement under the terms hereof shall be deemed full performance of all
obligations for development and operation with respect to each and every
separately owned Tract subject to this agreement, regardless of whether there
is any development of any particular Tract of the Unitized Land.

 

(b)  Drilling, producing or secondary recovery operations
performed hereunder upon any Tract of Unitized Lands shall be accepted and
deemed to be

 

23

 

performed
upon and for the benefit of each and every Tract of Unitized Land, and no lease
shall be deemed to expire by reason of failure to drill or produce wells
situated on land therein embraced.

 

(c)  Suspension of drilling or producing operations on all
Unitized Lands.-pursuant to
direction or consent of the Secretary or his duly authorized representative,
shall be deemed to constitute such suspension pursuant to such direction or
consent as to each and every Tract of Unitized Lands. A suspension of drilling
or producing operation on specified lands shall be applicable only to such
lands.

 

(d)  Each lease, sub-lease or contract relating to the
exploration, drilling, development or operation for oil and gas which by its
terms might expire prior to the termination of this agreement, is hereby
extended beyond any such term so provided therein, so that it shall be
continued in full force and effect for and during the term of this agreement.

 

(e)  The segregation of any Federal lease committed to this
agreement is governed by the following provision in the fourth paragraph of Article 17(j) of
the Mineral Leasing Act, as amended by the Act of September 2, 1960 (74
Stat. 781-784: “Any (Federal) lease heretofore or hereafter committed to any such
(Unit) plan embracing lands that are in part within and in part outside
of the area covered by any such plan shall be segregated into separate
leases as to the lands committed and the lands not committed as of the
effective date of unitization; provided, however, that any such lease as to the
non-unitized portion shall continue in force and effect for the term thereof
but for not less than two years from the date of such segregation and so long
thereafter as oil or gas is produced in paying quantities”.

 

ARTICLE XXI

 

COVENANTS RUN WITH LAND

 

21.1
All terms and conditions herein contained shall be construed to be covenants
running with the land with respect to the interest of the parties hereto and
their successors in title until this agreement terminates, and any

 

24

 

grant,
transfer, conveyance or any passage of any interest in land or leases  subject
hereto, no matter how accomplished, shall be and hereby is conditioned upon the
assumption of all privileges and obligations by such successor in interest. By
way of illustration, but not limitation, if any Working Interest Owner shall,
after executing this agreement, create any overriding royalty, production
payment or any similar interest or interests, the new owner or owners of such
interest or interests shall be bound by the terms of this agreement and the
Unit Operating Agreement. No assignment or transfer of any Working Interest
subject hereto shall be binding upon Unit Operator until the first day of the calendar
month after Unit Operator is furnished with the original or acceptable
photostatic or certified copy, of the recorded instrument of transfer; and no
assignment or transfer of a Royalty Interest subject hereto shall be binding
upon the Working Interest Owner responsible therefor until the first day of the
calendar month after said Working Interest Owner is furnished with the
original, or acceptable photostatic or certified copy, of the recorded
instrument of transfer.

 

ARTICLE XXII

 

EFFECTIVE DATE AND TERM

 

22.1
This agreement shall become binding upon each party who executes or ratifies it
as of the date of execution or ratification by such party and shall become
effective as of 7:00 A.M. of the first day of the calendar month next
following:

 

(a)  The execution or ratification of this agreement and, the

with a combined interest of at least sixty-five percent (65%) of the Royalty
Interest in the Unit Area, calculated on the basis of Phase I Unit
Participation; and

 

(b)  The approval of this agreement by the Supervisor and Commission.

 

25

 

(c)  The filing of at
least one counterpart of this agreement for record in the office of the County

that if (a), (b) and (c) above are not accomplished on or before. July 1, 1971, this agreement shall ipso
facto expire on said date (hereinafter called “expiration date”) and thereafter
be of no further force or effect unless prior thereto this agreement has been
executed or ratified by Working Interest Owners owning a combined Phase I

Owners owning in the aggregate sixty-five percent (65%) or more of the total
Phase I Participation committed to this agreement have decided to extend said
expiration date for a period not to exceed six (6) months (hereinafter
called “extended expiration date”). If said expiration date is so extended and
(a), (b) and (c) are not accomplished on or before said extended expiration
date, this agreement shall ipso facto expire on said extended
expiration date and thereafter be of no further force or effect.

 

22.2
Unit Operator shall, within thirty (30) days after the effective date of this
agreement, file for record in the office where a counterpart of this agreement
is recorded, a certificate to the effect that this agreement has become
effective according to its terms and stating further the effective date.

 

22.3
The term of this agreement shall be for and during the time that Unitized
Substances are produced in quantities sufficient to pay for the cost of producing same
from wells on the Unitized Land and so long thereafter as diligent drilling,
reworking or other operations (including secondary recovery operations) are prosecuted
thereon without cessation of more than ninety (90) consecutive days, and so
long thereafter as Unitized Substances are produced as aforesaid.

 

22.4
This agreement may be terminated at any time for any other reason with the
approval of the Supervisor by at least three Working Interest Owners owning
seventy-five percent (75%) Unit Participation which is in
effect at the time the vote is taken. Notice of any such termination shall be
given to all parties hereto, and a copy filed by Unit Operator in
the office of the County

 

26

 

Clerk
of Lea County, New Mexico.

 

22.5
Upon termination of this agreement, Unit Operations shall cease and the parties
hereto shall be governed by the terms and provisions of the leases and
contracts affecting the separate Tracts.

 

22.6
If not otherwise provided by the leases unitized under this agreement, Royalty
Owners hereby grant Working Interest Owners a period of six (6) months
after termination of this agreement in which to salvage, sell, distribute or
otherwise dispose of the personal property and facilities used in connection
with Unit operations.

 

ARTICLE XXIII

any Federal or State statute. The Director is hereby vested with authority to
alter or modify from time to time, in his discretion, the rate of prospecting and
development and within the limits made or fixed by the Commission to alter or
modify the quantity and rate of production under this agreement, such authority
being hereby limited to alteration or modification in the public interest, the
purpose thereof and the public interest to be served thereby to be stated in
the order of alteration or modification.

 

23.2
Powers in this Article vested in the Director shall only be exercised
after notice to Unit Operator and opportunity for hearing to be held not less
than fifteen (15) days from notice, and thereafter subject to administrative
appeal before becoming final.

 

ARTICLE XXIV

24.1
In connection with the performance of work under this agreement, the Unit
Operator agrees to comply with all of the provisions of Section 202(1) to

incorporated by reference in this agreement.

 

27

 

ARTICLE XXV

 

APPEARANCES

 

25.1
Unit Operator, after notice to other parties affected, shall have the right to
appear for or on behalf of any and all interests affected hereby before the
Department and to appeal from any order issued under the rules and
regulations of the Department, or to apply for relief from any of said rules and
regulations or in any proceedings relative to operations before the Department,
or any other legally constituted authority; provided, however, that any other
interested party shall also have the right at his or its own expense to be
heard in any such proceeding.

 

ARTICLE XXVI

 

NOTICES

 

26.1
All notices, demands, objections or statements required hereunder to be given
or rendered to the parties hereto shall be deemed fully given if made in

ARTICLE XXVII

 

NO WAIVER OF CERTAIN RIGHTS

 

27.1
Nothing in this agreement contained shall be construed as a waiver of any party
hereto of the right to assert any legal or constitutional right or defense as
to the validity or invalidity of any law of the State wherein said Unitized
Lands are located, or of the United States or the rules or regulations
issued thereunder in any way affecting such party, or as a waiver by any such
party of any right beyond his or its authority to waive.

 

28

 

ARTICLE XXVIII

 

PERSONAL PROPERTY EXCEPTED

 

28.1 Each of the Working Interest Owners hereto has
heretofore individually placed in or on the wells drilled by such Working
Interest Owner on its leases or interests and in or on the land covered by said
leases or interests certain casing, casing flanges, tubing, rods, pipes, tanks
as well as other lease and well equipment or other personal property (to all of
which the provisions hereof are applicable whether similar or dissimilar in
nature to the foregoing enumeration). As to all of such equipment, the
installing Working Interest Owner has the contractual right in and under its
respective leases to remove same from the premises, and the installation
thereof by said Working Interest Owner was with the intention and understanding
that all of such equipment would be and remain personal property and that no
part thereof would be or become fixtures to the realty. The Working Interest
Owners hereto have dealt separately among themselves and do hereby make a
separate agreement with each other with respect to such lease and well
equipment and all other such personal property located in or on the well or
their respective leases, on the one hand, and the realty, leasehold estates,
and the wells (exclusive of all equipment in or on said wells) located on and
the Unitized Substances underlying the Unit Area, on the other hand. To that
end, the Working Interest Owners have severed, and do hereby sever for all
purposes of this agreement, all such lease and well equipment and other such
personal property which may be located in or on the respective leases or in or
on the wells thereon from the real leasehold estates, and the wells located on
and the Unitized Substances underlying the Unit Area. To conform their
respective investments in such equipment, Working Interest Owners have made a
separate agreement with each other with respect thereto.

 

ARTICLE XXIX

 

UNAVOIDABLE DELAY

 

29.1 All obligations under this agreement requiring the Unit Operator to
commence or continue secondary recovery operations or to operate on or produce
Unitized Substances from any of the lands covered by this agreement shall be
suspended while, but only so long as the Unit Operator, despite the exercise of
due care and diligence, is prevented from complying with such obligations,

 

29

 

in
whole or in part, by strikes, acts of God, Federal, State or municipal law or
agency, unavoidable accident, uncontrollable delays in transportation,
inability to obtain necessary materials in open market, or other matters beyond
the reasonable control of the Unit Operator whether similar to matters herein
enumerated or not. No Unit obligation which is suspended pursuant to this
section shall become due less than thirty (30) days after it has been
determined that the suspension is no longer applicable. The determination of
creditable “unavoidable delay” time shall be made by Unit Operator subject to
the approval of the Supervisor.

 

ARTICLE XXX

 

LOSS OF TITLE

 

30.1
If any Tract of Unitized Land ceases to have sufficient Working Interest or
Royalty Interest committed to this agreement to meet the conditions of Article XIV
because of failure of title to any party hereto, such Tract shall be regarded
as not committed hereto as of 7:00 A. M. on the first day of the calendar month
in which such failure of title is finally determined; provided, however, that
no such Tract shall be so regarded if same can be re-qualified under said Article XIV
within ninety (90) days after the date on which such title failure was finally
determined. If any such Tract cannot be so re-qualified, Unit Operator shall
recompute the Tract Participation of each Tract of Unitized Land remaining
subject to this agreement so that such Tract Participation shall remain in the
same ratio one to another. Thereafter, Unit Operator shall revise Exhibits “C”
conformably with such recomputation. Each such revised exhibit shall be
effective at 7:00 A. M. on the first day of the calendar month in which such
failure of title is finally determined. If title to a Working Interest fails,
the rights and obligations of Working Interest Owners by reason of such failure
shall be governed by the Unit Operating Agreement. If title to a Royalty
Interest fails, but the Tract to which it relates remains committed to this
agreement, the Royalty Owner whose title failed shall not be entitled to
participate hereunder insofar as its participation is based on such

 

30

 

lost
Royalty Interest. In the event of a dispute as to the title of any Working or
Royalty Interest, or other interest subject hereto, payment or delivery on
account thereof may be withheld without
liability or interest until the dispute is finally settled; provided, that as
to Federal land or leases, no payments of funds due the United States of
America shall be withheld, but such funds shall be deposited as directed by the
Supervisor to be held as unearned money pending final settlement of the title
dispute, and then applied as earned or returned in accordance with such final
settlement.

 

30.2
Unit Operator, as such, is relieved from any responsibility for any defect or
failure of any title hereunder.

 

ARTICLE XXXI

 

BORDER AGREEMENTS

 

31.1
Subject to the approval of the Supervisor, the Unit Operator upon the
concurrence of at least three Working Interest Owners owning at least
sixty-five percent (65%) of Unit Participation which is in effect at the time
the vote is taken may enter into a border-protection agreement or agreements
with the Working Interest Owners of lands adjacent to the committed Tracts with
respect to the operations in the border area for the maximum ultimate recovery,
conservation purposes and proper protection of the parties and interests.

 

ARTICLE XXXII

 

JOINDER IN DUAL CAPACITY

 

32.1
Execution as herein provided by any party either as a Working Interest Owner or
as a Royalty Owner shall commit all interests that may be owned or controlled
by such party, provided that any party owning a Working Interest must also execute
the Unit Operating Agreement for his Working Interest to be committed hereto.

 

ARTICLE XXXIII

 

NON-JOINDER AND SUBSEQUENT JOINDER

 

33.1
Joinder by any Royalty and Record Owner, at any time, must

 

31

 

be
accompanied by appropriate joinder of the corresponding Working Interest Owner
in order for the interest of such Royalty and Record Owner to be regarded as
committed. Joinder to the Unit Agreement by a Working Interest Owner, at any
time, must be accompanied by appropriate joinder to the Unit Operating
Agreement in order for such interest to be regarded as committed to this Unit
Agreement.

 

33.2
Any oil or gas interest in the Unitized Formation not committed hereto prior to
submission of this agreement for final approval may thereafter be committed
hereto upon compliance with the applicable provisions of this Article and
of Article XIV (Tracts Qualified for Participation) hereof, at any time up
to the effective date hereof on the same basis of participation as provided in
said Article XIV, by the owner or owners thereof subscribing, ratifying or
consenting in writing to this agreement and, if the interest is a Working
Interest, by the owner of such interest subscribing also to the Unit Operating
Agreement.

 

33.3
It is understood and agreed, however, that from and after the effective date
hereof the right of subsequent joinder by a Working Interest Owner as provided
in this Article shall be subject to such requirements or approvals and on
such basis as may be agreed upon by Working Interest Owners having not less
than eighty percent (80%) Unit Participation which is in effect at the time the
vote is taken and approved by the Director or Supervisor. Such subsequent
joinder by a proposed Working Interest Owner must be evidenced by his execution
or ratification of this agreement and the Unit Operating Agreement. Such
joinder by a proposed Royalty Owner must be evidenced by his execution,
ratification or consent of this agreement and must be consented to in writing by
the Working Interest Owner responsible for the payment of any benefits that may
accrue hereunder in behalf of such proposed Royalty Owner. Except as may be
otherwise herein provided, subsequent joinder to this agreement shall be
effective at 7:00 A.M. as of the first day of the month following the
filing with the Supervisor of duly executed counterparts of any and all
documents necessary to establish effective commitment of any Tract or interest
to this

 

32

 

agreement,
unless objection to such joinder by the Supervisor is duly made within sixty
(60) days after such filing.

 

ARTICLE XXXIV

 

TAXES

 

34.
1 Each party hereto shall, for its own account, render and pay its share
of any taxes levied against or measured by the amount or value of the Unitized
Substances produced from the Unitized Land; provided, however, that if it is required or
if it be determined that the Unit Operator or the several Working Interest
Owners must pay or advance said taxes for the account of the parties hereto, it
is hereby expressly agreed that the parties so paying or advancing said taxes
shall be reimbursed therefor by the parties hereto, including Royalty Owners,
who may be responsible for the taxes on their respective allocated share of
said Unitized Substances. No such taxes shall be charged to the United States
nor to any lessor who has a contract with a lessee which requires his lessee to
pay such taxes.

 

ARTICLE XXXV

 

CONFLICT OF SUPERVISION

 

35.1
Neither the Unit Operator nor the Working Interest Owners, nor any of them,
shall be subject to any forfeiture, termination or expiration of any rights
hereunder or under any leases or contracts subject hereto, or to any penalty or
liability on account of delay or failure in whole or in part to comply with any
applicable provisions thereof, to the extent that the said Unit Operator or the
Working Interest Owners, or any of them, are hindered, delayed or prevented from
complying therewith by reason of failure of the Unit Operator to obtain, in the
exercise of due diligence, the concurrence of proper representatives of the
United States in and about any matters or things concerning which it is
required herein that such concurrence be obtained. The parties hereto, agree
that all powers and authority are vested in the Commission in and by any
provisions of the laws of the State of New Mexico and subject in any case to
appeal or judicial review as may now or hereafter be provided by the laws of
the State of New Mexico.

 

33

 

ARTICLE XXXVI

 

NO PARTNERSHIP

 

36.1
The duties, obligations and liabilities of the parties hereto are intended to
be several and not joint or collective. This agreement is not intended to
create, and shall not be construed to create, an association or trust, or to
impose a partnership duty, obligation or liability with regard to any one or
more of the parties hereto. Each party hereto shall be individually responsible
for its own obligations as herein provided.

 

ARTICLE XXXVII

 

PRODUCTION AS OF THE EFFECTIVE DATE

 

37.1
Unit Operator shall make a proper and timely gauge of all leases and other
tanks on Unitized Land in order to ascertain the amount of merchantable oil
above the pipeline connection in such tanks as of 7:00 A. M. on the effective
date hereof. The oil that is a part of the prior allowable of the wells from
which it was produced shall be and remain the property of the Interest Owner
entitled thereto, the same as if the Unit had not been formed; and the
responsible Working Interest Owner shall promptly remove said oil from Unitized
Land. Any such oil not so removed may be sold by Unit Operator for the account
of such Working Interest Owner, subject to the payment of all Royalty to
Royalty Owners under the applicable lease or leases and other contracts. The
oil that is in excess of the prior allowable of the wells from which it was
produced shall be regarded as Unitized Substances produced after effective date
hereof.

 

37.2
If, as of the effective date hereof, any Tract is overproduced with respect to
the allowable of the wells on that Tract and the amount of overproduction has been sold or
otherwise disposed of, such overproduction shall be regarded as a part of the
Unitized Substances produced after the effective date hereof and shall be
charged to such Tract as having been delivered to the parties entitled to
Unitized Substances allocated to such Tract.

 

34

 

ARTICLE
XXXVIII

 

COUNTERPARTS

 

38.1

needs to be executed by all parties and may be ratified or consented to by
separate instruments in writing specifically referring hereto, and shall be
binding upon all those parties who have executed such a counterpart,
ratification or consent hereto with the same force and effect as if all parties
had signed the same document, and regardless of whether or not it is executed
by all other parties owning or claiming an interest in the land within the
above described Unit Area.

make every reasonable effort to conduct joint or simultaneous audits in a
manner which will result in a minimum of inconvenience to the Operator.

operator has failed to maintain current operator status as  reflected on the Commission’s P-5 records;

 

AND
