said county, reference thereto being made for all purposes; end,
WHEREAS, the parties hereto are still the owners, respectively, of all of
Lessor's and Lessee's rights, title and interest in and to said 1 ; and,
WHEREAS, it is the desire of the parties hereto that said leases, as previously
amended, be amended. •
NOW, THEREFORE, for and In consideration of the sum of Ten Dollars ($10.00)
and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged,
the parties hereto agree that Paragraph 9 of each of the above-listed leases be amended,
to read as follows:
9.a. Lessee may at any time or times, pool or consolidate this lease,
in whole or in part, or as to any stratum or strata with adjacent
lands and leases, so as to constitute a unit hereinafter called
Production Unit, not substantially exceeding the Ras required
for the most efficient and economical location and spacing of
wells in the field or pool, but not exceeding ninety acres (90)
if oil is produced or six hundred and sixty acres (660) if gas
only is produced, by filing for record, an instrument so declaring,
a copy of which shall be mailed to Lessor or to the depository
bank. Drilling, mining or re-working operations upon, or pro-
duction ti of any mineral from any part of any such Production Unit,
shall be treated, for all purposes hereunder, as such operations
upon or such production from this lease, mad shall satisfy any
obligation, expressed or implied for the drilling or producing
of wells hereunder. Upon production from any part of any such
Production Unit, Lessor shall be entitled to royalties calculated
as follows: There shall be allocated to the portion of this lease
included in such Production Unit, a fractional part of such pro-
duction based on the ratio that the number of acres in this lease
included in such Production Unit boars to the total number of acres
included in such Production Unit, and Lesser shell be entitled to
the royalties of this lease provided, on such fractional part of
such production, and no more.
9.b. Lessee may use an Automatic Metering System in determining the
production from any such Production Unit. It is further agreed
that Lessee may commingle in a common tank battery, all oil pro-
duced from the Pierce Field and determine that portion of the
total production from said Pierce Field attributable to the wells
producing from any such Production Unit by means of an Automatic
Metering System set up as a separate measuring device for such
Production Unit. Production from any ono production unit will not
be commingled with that from any other Production Unit until after
it has passed through its separate Automatic Metering System. In
any mamt$ in which there is a discrepancy between the total pro-
duction, as shown by the total metered readings from the Automatic
Metering System from all contributing Production Units, and the
total production determined by gauging the common storage battery,
then, in that event, the gauged production shall be considered as
controlling, and production attributed to any particular Production
Unit shall be adjusted upward or downward in the ratio that the
metered production of this Production Unit bears to the total
metered production for all Production Units gathered into the
common storage battery.
In all other respects said leases remain unchanged, and as modified herein,
are hereby ratified and confirmed as being valid and subsisting leases, and Lessor
hereby grants and leases to Lessee the lands described therein, for the purposes, and
upon the terms and conditions set forth in said Oil, Gas and Mineral Leases as hereby
amended.
THIS ACREBNENT, and the rights extended and designated hereby, shall extend
to and be binding upon the heirs, executors, assigns and legal representatives of the
parties hereto.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, we have hereunto set our hands this 21st day of
December, 1956.
