ROYALTY INTEREST OWNER: BOARD OF WELD COUNTY COMMISSIONERS [Entity Name, if applicable] By: Name: Title: _ Date: Steve Moreno BOCC Chair SEP 2 2 Z0Z1 _ Signature Page for Ratification, Approval and Joinder of Unit Agreement c2ootl- 02 71/9 RECEIVED Chevron April 20, 2021 Weld County, Colorado c/o Board of County Commissioners 1150 O Street Greeley, CO 80631 Dear Royalty Owner: SEP 0 9 2021 WELD COUNTY COMMISSIONERS Noble Energy, Inc. ("Noble") recently filed an application with the Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission ("COGCC" or "Commission") to unitize the below -listed lands in Weld County, Colorado for horizontal well development of the Niobrara, Fort Hays, Codell and Carlile Formations: Township 8 North, Range 61 West, 6th P.M. Sections 2-14: All Section 23: All Township 9 North, Range 60 West, 6th P.M. Section 19: All Section 30: N%2 Township 9 North, Range 61 West, 6th P.M. Sections 23-29: All Section 31-35: All Consisting of approximately 17,479.96 acres, more or less, Unnamed Field, Weld County, Colorado. These lands are sometimes referred to as the "West Pony Unit." The application was filed on April 1, 2021 and is currently under review by COGCC Staff. Noble is excited about the prospect of establishing the West Pony Unit and believes unitization will benefit all mineral owners and working interest owners within the West Pony Unit. Noble is writing to you as a mineral owner in the West Pony Unit, and is seeking your support for this project which will allow Noble to increase the overall recovery of hydrocarbons in this acreage in a manner that best minimizes impacts to surface owners, building unit owners, and the surrounding community. This application will be sent to you, along with a Notice of Hearing prepared by COGCC, in the days or weeks ahead. Unitizing lands and minerals involves the consolidation of mineral and working interests in an area in order to form a single operating unit for mineral development. In Colorado, the COGCC may approve an application for unitization following notice and a hearing as set forth under the Oil and Gas Conservation Act ("Act"). See Colorado Revised Statutes § 34-60-118. Rockies Business Unit Noble Energy, Inc. 1625 Broadway, Suite 2200 Denver, CO 80202 303.228.4000 April 20, 2021 Page 2 As a mineral owner in Colorado, you may be familiar with the traditional oil and gas permitting process involving spacing and pooling lands for subsurface mineral development. Spacing units typically involve a smaller subset of minerals (for horizontal well development, often 640 acres to 2,560 acres). When the COGCC issues an order spacing lands for subsurface mineral development, the order also sets forth the maximum number of wells that may be drilled in the spacing unit, the location of the wells, and the wellbore orientation. Unlike spacing, unitization of minerals often involves a larger area of land and does not expressly limit the number or location of wells that may be drilled in the unit area. An order unitizing lands for cooperative development also designates a single party as the operator of the unit area. There are numerous benefits of unitization to the operator, working interest owners and partners, and mineral owners. A few of the benefits of establishing the West Pony Unit are highlighted below: • The West Pony Unit will designate a single company, Noble Energy, as the operator of the approximate 17,479.96 -acre unit, thereby creating certainty for all stakeholders regarding the company conducting operations. A single operator will minimize or mitigate impacts from oil and gas operations that would otherwise be caused by multiple operators developing acreage in a piece -meal manner. • Unlike traditional drilling and spacing units and pooling orders, the West Pony Unit Agreement and associated order of the COGCC will require Noble to drill a well in the West Pony Unit within one year of the unit's approval. Noble will also be required to conduct continuous drilling operations beginning three years after the initial production date of the test well through the Initial Term of the West Pony Unit. This will result in drilling and production from the unit area for the benefit of the mineral owners within the West Pony Unit. If Noble fails to comply with these mandatory continuous drilling operations requirements, the West Pony Unit will terminate. • The West Pony Unit enables Noble to maximize recovery of minerals, and therefore maximize royalties to mineral owners, by eliminating well location requirements within the unit area. In this way, Noble may adjust drilling plans and completions designs as technology changes and improves without limitation. • Establishing the West Pony Unit creates an economy of scale, which will drive down the overall cost of drilling and completing individual wells in the unit area. This will allow Noble to drill and produce wells in areas of the West Pony Unit with lower quality rock, which will increase the overall production of minerals within the entire unit. • Establishing the West Pony Unit for subsurface development allows Noble to move forward with proposing and establishing a Comprehensive Area Plan governing the siting of oil and gas locations within the unit area. A Comprehensive Area Plan will identify foreseeable impacts from oil and gas operations and minimize or mitigate the impacts following input from all stakeholders. April 20, 2021 Page 3 A COGCC order authorizing unit operations (i.e. unitization) is only effective if the plan for unit operations is approved by at least 80% of the owners required to bear the costs of unit operations and approved by at least 80% of the owners of non -cost bearing interests in the unit (i.e. mineral/royalty owners). According to Noble's information, you own minerals within portions of the proposed West Pony Unit. Accordingly, Noble is providing you with this Ratification Packet for review and approval as part of the unitization process. Enclosed in this packet you will find a copy of the Unit Agreement that will govern operations in the West Pony Unit. This packet includes copies of Exhibits A, B and D to the Unit Agreement. Exhibits C and E are available upon request. Also included in this packet is a Ratification, Approval, and Joinder of Unit Agreement. Please review the enclosed Unit Agreement and contact Noble at the email address or phone number below if you have questions or concerns. If you support Noble's request for unitization for the West Pony Unit, please sign the enclosed Ratification, Approval, and Joinder of Unit Agreement and return a copy to Noble in the stamped envelope included with this packet at your earliest convenience. Please also confirm with us via email or by telephone that you have mailed an executed copy of the Ratification, Approval, and Joinder of the Unit Agreement so we can verify receipt. Noble is excited about the prospect of establishing the West Pony Unit and believes unitization will benefit all mineral owners and working interest owners within the West Pony Unit. Unitization will allow Noble to increase the overall recovery of hydrocarbons in this acreage in a manner that best minimizes impacts to surface owners, building unit owners, and the surrounding community. We hope to hear from you soon and thank you in advance for your consideration of this proposal.

ENABLING ACT AND REGULATIONS. The Oil and Gas Conservation Act (COLO. REV. STAT. §§ 34-60-101-34-60-131, (2019)) ("Act"), together with all current valid, pertinent regulations including operating and unit plan regulations, issued thereunder, in effect as of the effective date of this agreement that are not inconsistent with the terms of this agreement are accepted and made part of this agreement. 2. UNIT AREA. The area specified on the map and legal description attached hereto, marked Exhibit A, is hereby designated and recognized as constituting the Unit Area, containing 17,479.96 acres, more or less. Exhibit B shows, in addition to the boundary of the Unit Area, the boundaries and identity of tracts in said area to the extent known to the Unit Operator. Exhibit C attached hereto is a schedule showing to the extent known to the Unit Operator the acreage, percentage, and kind of ownership of oil and gas interests in all lands in the Unit Area. Exhibit D attached hereto, is a schedule showing the percentage of participation credited to each tract in the Unit Area (tract means each parcel of land described as such and given a tract number in Exhibit C) ("Tract Participation"). Nothing herein or in Exhibits A, B, C, and D shall be construed as a representation by any Party hereto as to the ownership of any interest other than such interest or interests as are shown in the Exhibits as owned by such Party. Exhibits A, B, C, and D shall be revised by the Unit Operator whenever changes in the Unit Area or in the ownership interests in the individual tracts render such revision necessary. The above -described Unit Area shall when practicable be expanded to include therein any additional lands or shall be contracted to exclude lands whenever such expansion or contraction is deemed to be necessary or advisable to conform with the purposes of this agreement. Such expansion or contraction shall be effected in the following manner: (a) Unit Operator, on its own motion, shall prepare a notice of proposed expansion or contraction describing the contemplated changes in the boundaries of the Unit Area, the reasons therefore, any plans for additional drilling, and the proposed effective date of the expansion or contraction, preferably the first day of the month subsequent to the date of notice. (b) Said notice shall be filed with the Commission, and copies thereof mailed to the last known address of each Working Interest Owner, lessee and lessor whose interests are affected, advising that 30 days will be allowed for submission to the Unit Operator or Commission of any objections. (c) Unit Operator shall comply with all procedural requirements of the Commission with respect to unit expansion or contraction as set forth in the Act and COGCC, regulations. Nothing contained in this section shall prohibit or restrict automatic contraction of the Unit Area pursuant to Section 21 of this agreement should production cease from all or portions of the Unit Area following the expiration of the Initial Tenn. 3. UNITIZED LAND AND UNITIZED SUBSTANCES. All land now or hereafter committed to this agreement within the Unit Area shall constitute land referred to herein as "Unitized Land" or "land subject to this agreement." At such time as authorization for unitization of such land has been obtained from the applicable Working Interest Owners and Royalty Owners, such land shall be considered Unitized Land, effective as of the date of approval of this agreement by the Commission. All oil and gas in the Codell, Niobrara, Ft. Hays, and Carlile Shale formations, whether commingled or produced separately ("Unitized Formations") of the Unitized Land is hereby unitized under the terms of this agreement, so that all operations conducted by the Unit Operator under this agreement ("Unit Operations") may be conducted as if the Unit Area had been included in a single lease executed by all Royalty Owners, as lessors, in favor of all Working Interest Owners, as lessees, and as if the lease contained all of the provisions of this agreement. All oil, gas, gaseous substances, sulphur contained in gas, condensate, distillate, and all associated and constituent hydrocarbons within or produced from the Unitized Lands shall be referred to herein as "Unitized Substances." The term "Working Interest Owner" as used herein shall mean the owner of an interest held in Unitized Substances as that term is defined above, or in lands containing Unitized Substances by virtue of a lease, operating agreement, fee title, or otherwise, which is chargeable or burdened with, or, the ownership of which obligates the owner thereof to pay all or a portion of the costs of drilling for, developing, producing, and operating the land under the unit or cooperative agreement for the production of Unitized Substances. The term "Royalty Owner" as used herein shall mean an owner with the right to, or an interest in, any portion of the Unitized Substances or proceeds thereof other than a working interest. 4. METHOD OF OPERATION. To the end that the quantity of Unitized Substances ultimately recoverable may be increased and waste prevented, Unit Operator shall, with diligence and in accordance with good engineering and production practices, engage in primary recovery operations, including horizontal drilling, in the Unitized Formations to achieve that end. 5. CHANGE OF METHOD OF OPERATION. Nothing herein shall prevent Unit Operator from discontinuing or changing in whole or in part any method of operation which, in the Unit Operator's opinion, is no longer in accord with good engineering or production practices. Other methods of operation may be conducted or changes may be made by Unit Operator from time to time if determined to be feasible, necessary, or desirable to increase the ultimate recovery of Unitized Substances. 6. UNIT OPERATOR. Noble Energy, Inc. ("Noble") is hereby designated as Unit Operator and by signature hereto as Unit Operator agrees and consents to accept the duties and obligations of Unit Operator for the discovery, development, and production of Unitized Substances as herein provided. Unit Operator shall have the exclusive right to conduct Unit Operations, which shall conform to the provisions of this agreement and the Unit Operating Agreement and any other agreements existing between the Working Interest Owners at the time the Unit is created. If there is a conflict between such other agreements and this agreement, this agreement shall govern. 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 interest in Unitized Substances, and the tern "Working Interest Owner" when used herein shall include or refer to Unit Operator as the owner of a working interest only when such an interest is owned by it. 7. RESIGNATION OR REMOVAL OF UNIT OPERATOR. Unit Operator shall have the right to resign at any time prior to the establishment of the first Drill Block (defined below) hereunder, but such resignation shall not become effective so 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 6 months after notice of intention to resign has been served by Unit Operator on all Working interest Owners and the Commission and until all wells then drilled hereunder are placed in a satisfactory condition for suspension or abandonment, whichever is required, unless a new Unit Operator shall have been selected and approved and shall have taken over and assumed. the duties and obligations of Unit Operator prior to the expiration of said period. Unit Operator shall have the right to resign in like manner and subject to like limitations as above provided at any time after the first Drill Block established hereunder is in existence, but in all instances of resignation or removal, until a successor Unit Operator is selected and approved as hereinafter provided, the Working Interest Owners shall be jointly responsible for performance of the duties of Unit Operator, and shall not later than 30 days before such resignation or removal becomes effective appoint a common agent to represent them in any action to be taken hereunder. The resignation of Unit Operator shall not release Unit Operator from any liability for any default by it hereunder occurring prior to the effective date of its resignation. The Unit Operator may, upon default or failure in the performance of its duties or obligations hereunder, be subject to removal by the vote of the Working Interest Owners holding a majority of the working interests in the Unit Area. Such removal shall be effective upon notice thereof to the Commission. 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, material, and appurtenances used in conducting the Unit Operations to the new duly qualified successor Unit Operator or to the common agent, if no such new Unit Operator is selected, to be used for the purpose of conducting Unit Operations hereunder. Nothing herein shall be construed as authorizing removal of any material, equipment or appurtenances needed for the preservation of any wells. 8. SUCCESSOR UNIT OPERATOR. Whenever the Unit Operator shall tender its resignation as Unit Operator or shall be removed as hereinabove provided or a change of Unit Operator is negotiated by the Working Interest Owners, the Working Interest Owners according to their respective acreage interests in all Unitized Land shall, pursuant to the requirements of the Unit Operating Agreement, select a Successor Unit Operator. Such selection shall not become effective until a Unit Operator so selected shall accept in writing the duties and responsibilities of Unit Operator. 9. ACCOUNTING PROVISIONS AND UNIT OPERATING AGREEMENT. If the Unit Operator is not the sole Working Interest Owner, costs and expenses incurred by Unit Operator in conducting Unit Operations hereunder shall be paid and apportioned among and borne by the Working Interest Owners, all in accordance with the agreement or agreements entered into by and between the Unit Operator and the Working Interest Owners, whether one or more, separately or collectively. Any agreement or agreements entered into between the Working Interest Owners and the Unit Operator as provided in this Section, whether one or more, are herein referred to as 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 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, and in case of any inconsistency or conflict between this agreement and the Unit Operating Agreement, this agreement shall govern. 10. RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF UNIT OPERATOR. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, the exclusive right, privilege, and duty of exercising any and all rights of the Parties 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. Acceptable evidence of title to said rights shall be deposited with 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 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 only for the purposes herein specified. 11. DRILLING TO DISCOVERY. Within one year after the effective date hereof, the Unit Operator shall commence to drill an adequate test well at a location determined by Unit Operator, unless on such effective date a well is being drilled in conformity with the terms hereof, and thereafter continue such drilling diligently until Unitized Substances shall be discovered which can be produced in paying quantities. If the initial test well is incapable of producing in paying quantities, the Unit Operator shall continue drilling one well at a time, allowing not more than 8 months between the completion of one well and the commencement of drilling operations for the next well, until a well capable of producing Unitized Substances in paying quantities is completed or until it is reasonably proved that the Unitized Land is incapable of producing Unitized Substances in paying quantities in the formations drilled hereunder. Nothing in this section shall be deemed to limit the right of the Unit Operator to resign as provided in Section 7 hereof, or as requiring Unit Operator to commence or continue any drilling during the period pending such resignation becoming effective in order to comply with the requirements of this Section. The Commission may modify any of the drilling requirements of this Section by granting reasonable extensions of time when, in its opinion, such action is warranted, following notice and opportunity for a hearing. Upon failure to commence any well as provided for in this (these) Section(s) within the time allowed, including any extension of time granted by the Commission, this agreement will automatically terminate after Unit Operator has been given 60 days notice of alleged failure to commence any well as provided for in this Section, and a reasonably opportunity to cure. If Unitized Substances in paying quantities are discovered through a test well, the drilling provisions of this Section will be deemed satisfied and will no longer be applicable. 12. DRILLING OBLIGATIONS DURING INITIAL TERM. Beginning thirty-six months after the initial production date of a test well capable of producing Unitized Substances in paying quantities provided for in Section 11 of this agreement, drilling operations shall be continuously prosecuted by the Unit Operator during the remainder of the Initial Term as hereinafter provided. "Drilling operations" includes operations for the drilling of a new well, the reworking, deepening or plugging back of a well or hole or other operations conducted in an effort to obtain or re-establish production of Unitized Substances. Drilling operations shall be considered to be "continuously prosecuted" so long as any one or more of such operations are prosecuted with no cessation of more than 180 consecutive days during the Initial Term. As used in this agreement, the term "operations" shall mean any activity conducted on or off the Unit Area that is reasonably calculated to obtain or restore production of the Unitized Substances, including without limitation, (i) drilling or any act preparatory to drilling (such as obtaining permits, surveying a drill site, staking a drill site, building roads, clearing a drill site, or hauling equipment or supplies); (ii) reworking, plugging back, deepening, treating, stimulating, refitting, installing any artificial lift or production - enhancement equipment or technique; (iii) constructing facilities related to the production, treatment, transportation and marketing of Unitized Substances; and (iv) contracting for marketing services and sale of Unitized Substances. 13. ESTABLISHMENT OF DRILL BLOCKS. Unit Operator will form Drill Blocks, being areas of land designated for the drilling of one or more wells within the Unit Area, based on drilling plans, drainage areas, and facility design, among other things. The lands so designated by the Unit Operator shall constitute the Drill Block, effective as of the date of completion of the first well within the Drill Block. No later than forty-five (45) days prior to drilling the first well in a Drill Block, Unit Operator shall submit a Drill Block schedule to all Working Interest Owners and Royalty Owners within each respective Drill Block. Unit Operator shall provide the Drill Block schedule by mailing a copy of the same to the last known address of the Working Interest Owner or Royalty Owner, or by providing a copy of the Drill Block schedule to the Working Interest Owner or Royalty Owner through electronic mail. The schedule shall set forth the legal description of the lands comprising the Drill Block and also set forth the percentage of Unitized. Substances to be allocated, as provided in Section 14, to each tract in a Drill Block, and shall govern the allocation of production commencing with the effective date of the Drill Block. No land shall be excluded from a Drill Block on account of depletion of its Unitized Substances, except that a Drill Block established under the provisions of this agreement shall terminate automatically whenever all completions in the Unitized Formations underlying the Drill Block are abandoned. The Unit Operator may revise a Drill Block at any time, provided that the Unit Operator shall provide written notice of a Drill Block revision to the Working Interest Owners and Royalty Owners affected by the revision within 30 days of the decision to revise a Drill Block. Regardless of any revision of a Drill Block, nothing herein contained shall be construed as requiring any retroactive adjustment for production obtained prior to the effective date of the revision of the Drill Block. In the absence of agreement at any time between the Unit Operator and a Working Interest Owner as to the proper definition or redefinition of a Drill Block, or until the Drill Block has been established, the portion of all payments affected thereby shall be impounded in a manner mutually acceptable to the Working Interest Owners. For purposes of Section 34-60-118(5), C.R.S., the approval and effectiveness of this agreement for Unit Operations shall be based on the parties (both Working Interest Owners and Royalty Owners) respective interests in the entire Unit Area, as set forth in Exhibit C, and not based on ownership in any individual Drill Block. 14. ALLOCATION OF PRODUCTION. All Unitized Substances produced from a Drill Block established under this agreement, except any part thereof used in conformity with good operating practices within the Unitized Area for drilling, operating, and other production or development purposes, for repressuring or recycling, or unavoidably lost, shall be deemed to be produced equally on an acreage basis from the several tracts of Unitized Land within each respective Drill Block established for such production. For the purpose of determining any benefits accruing under this agreement, each such tract of Unitized Land shall have allocated to it such percentage of said production as the number of acres of such tract included in a Drill Block bears to the total acres of Unitized Land in the Drill Block. As set forth in Section 13, when the Unit Operator establishes Drill Blocks for the Unit Area following completion of a well capable of producing Unitized Substances in paying quantities, Unit Operator shall deliver to all Working Interest Owners and Royalty Owners a schedule containing the legal description of each respective Drill Block, together with percentage of Unitized Substances allocated to each tract within the respective Drill Block ("Drill Block Tract Participation") as set forth in this Section based on the number of acres a tract in a Drill Block bears to the total acres of Unitized Land in the Drill Block. The "Drill Block Participation" of a Working Interest Owner in the Drill Block is the sum of the percentages obtained by multiplying the Working Interest of such Working Interest Owner in each tract within the Drill Block by the Drill Block Tract Participation of such tract. Allocation of production hereunder for purposes other than for settlement of the royalty, overriding royalty, or payment out of production obligations of the respective Working Interest Owners, shall be on the basis prescribed in the Unit Operating Agreement whether in conformity with the basis of allocation herein set forth or otherwise. It is hereby agreed that production of Unitized Substances from a Drill Block shall be allocated as provided herein regardless of whether any wells are drilled on any particular part or tract of the Drill Block. 15. GRANT OF EASEMENTS. The Parties, to the extent of their rights and interests, hereby grant to Unit Operator the right to use as much of the surface of the land within the Unit Area as may be reasonably necessary for Unit Operations and the removal of Unitized Substances from the Unit Area. 16. ROYALTY SETTLEMENT. Settlement for royalty interest shall he made by the Unit Operator on behalf of the Working Interest Owners responsible therefore 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 in this Section shall operate to relieve the lessees of any land from their respective lease obligations for the payment of any royalties due under their leases. If Unitized Substances are used for Unit Operations, including but not limited to the injection thereof into the Unitized Formations, then no royalty, overriding royalty or other payments shall be payable on account of Unitized Substances used, lost or consumed in Unit Operations. If gas obtained from lands not subject to this agreement is introduced into the Drill Blocks established hereunder, for use in repressuring, stimulation of production, or increasing ultimate recovery, a like amount of gas, after settlement as herein provided for any gas transferred from the Drill Block(s) and with appropriate deduction for loss from any cause, may be withdrawn from the Unitized Formation into which the gas is introduced, royalty free as to dry gas, but not as to any products which may be extracted therefrom; provided that such withdrawal as conforming to good petroleum engineering practice; and provided further, that such right of withdrawal shall terminate on the termination of this agreement. 17. RENTAL SETTLEMENT. Rental or minimum royalties due on leases committed hereto shall be paid by the Unit Operator on behalf of the appropriate Working Interest Owners under existing contracts, laws, and regulations. With respect to any lease containing provisions which would terminate such lease unless drilling operations are commenced upon the land covered thereby within the time therein specified or rentals are paid for the privilege of deferring such drilling operations, the rentals required thereby shall be modified in accordance with Section 18 of this Agreement such that rentals will no longer be required provided that drilling and producing operations are commenced on any portion of the Unit Area pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement. 18. CONSERVATION. Operations hereunder and production of Unitized Substances shall be conducted to provide for the most economical and efficient recovery of said substances without waste, as defined by or pursuant to applicable State law or regulation. 19. LEASES AND CONTRACTS CONFORMED AND EXTENDED. 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, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, all leases, subleases, 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 this Unit Area. (b) Drilling and producing operations performed hereunder upon any tract of Unitized Lands and in any Drill Block will be accepted and deemed to be performed upon and for the benefit of each and every tract of Unitized Land, notwithstanding whether a particular tract of Unitized Land is included in a Drill Block in which a well is producing; and no lease shall be deemed to expire by reason of failure to drill or produce wells situated on the land therein embraced. (c) Suspension of drilling or producing operations on all Unitized Lands shall be deemed to constitute such suspension pursuant to such direction or consent as to each and every tract of Unitized Land.
