 3.1 The Royalty shall be: 

	 	(a) calculated and paid on a quarterly basis within
        45 days after the end of each quarter of the Operating Year, based on
        the Net Profits for such quarter, and after deducting any credit from
        the payment of advance royalties, if any, as may be set forth in the Agreement.
        However, when calculating the required quarterly payments, a reasonable
        provision may be made for anticipated Costs for the remainder of the Operating
        Year; and 

       (b) calculated by the Operator Participant, by each
        Participant as to its respective share of Royalty and each Participant
        and the Operator shall keep an account relating to its operations related
        to the Property. 

 3.2 The Royalty shall be payable as follows: 

	 	(a) each payment of Royalty will be accompanied by
        an unaudited statement indicating the calculation of the Royalty hereunder
        in reasonable detail and the Holder will receive, within 3 months of the
        end of each Operating Year, an annual summary unaudited statement (an
        “Annual Statement”) showing in reasonable detail the calculation
        of the Royalty for the last completed Operating Year and showing all credits
        and deductions added to or deducted from the amount due to the Holder;
      

       (b) the Holder will have 45 days from the time of receipt
        of the Annual Statement to question the accuracy thereof in writing and,
        failing such objection, the Annual Statement will be deemed to be correct
        and unimpeachable thereafter; 

       (c) if the Annual Statement is questioned by the Holder,
        and if such questions cannot be resolved between the Holder and the Operator
        that prepared the Annual Statement, the Holder will have 12 months from
        the time of receipt of the Annual Statement to have such audited, which
        will initially be at the expense of the Holder; 

       (d) the audited Annual Statement will be final and determinative
        of the calculation of the Royalty for the audited period and will be binding
        on the Holder and the party that prepared the Annual Statement and any
        overpayment of Royalty will be deducted from future payments of Royalty
        and any underpayment of Royalty will be paid to the Holder forthwith;
      

       (e) the costs of the audit will be borne by the Holder
        if the Annual Statement overstated the Royalty payable or understated
        the Royalty payable by not more than 1% and will be borne by the party
        that prepared the Annual Statement if such statement understated the Royalty
        payable by greater than 1%. If the party that prepared the Annual Statement
        is obligated to pay for the audit it will forthwith reimburse the Holder
        for any of the audit costs which it had paid; and 

 6

	 	(f) the Holder will be entitled to examine, on reasonable
        notice and during normal business hours, such books and records as are
        reasonably necessary to verify the payment of the Royalty to it from time
        to time, provided however that such examination shall not unreasonably
        interfere with or hinder the Operator’s operations or procedures.
