Notwithstanding any provision of this lease to the contrary, no operations shall he conducted
on the above described land without the written consent of lessor.
2. Without reference to the commencement, prosecution or cessation at any time of drilling or other development operations, and/or to the discovery, de-
velopment or cessation at any time of production of oil or gas and without Nether payments than the royalties herein provided, and notwithstanding any-
thing else herein contained to the contrary, this lease shall be for a term of j year from this date (called "primary term") and as long thereafter as oil
or gas is produced from said land or land with which said land is pooled hereunder.
3. The royalties to be paid by Lessee, are: (a) on oil, one-eighth of that produced and saved from said land,the same to be delivered at the wells or to the-
credit of Lessor into the pipe line to which the wells may be connected: Lessee may from time to time purchase any royalty oil in its possession, paying the
market price therefor prevailing for the field where produced on the date of purchase; (b) on gas, including casinghead gas or other gaseous substance, pro-
duced from said land, and sold or used off the premises or for the extraction of gasoline or other product therefrom, the market value at the well of one-
eighth of the gas so sold or used, provided that on gas sold at the wells the royalty shell be one-eighth of the amount realized from such sale; while there is a
gas well on this lease or on acreage pooled therewith but gas is not being sold or used. Lessee may pay as royalty, on or before ninety (90) days after the
date on which said well is shut in and thereafter at annual intervals the sum of $1.00 per acre. and if such payment is made or tendered, this lease shall not
terminate and it will be considered that gas is being produced from this lease in paying quantities. Lessee shell have free use of oil, gas, coal and water from said
land, except water from Lessor's wells, for all operations hereunder, and the royalty on oil and gas shall be computed after deducting any so used.
4. Lessee, at its option, is hereby given the right end power to pool or combine the acreage covered by this lease, or any portion thereof as to oil
end gas, or either of them, with other land. lease or leases in the immediate vicinity thereof to the extent, hereinafter stipulated, when in Lessee's judgment
it is necessary or advisable to do so in order properly to explore, or to develop and operate said leased premises in compliance with the spacing rules of
the appropriate local governmental authority. or other lawful authority, or when to do so would, in the judgment of Lessee, promote the conservation of oil
and gas in and under and that may be produced from said premises. Units pooled for oil hereunder shall not substantially exceed 40 acres each in area,
and units pooled for gas hereunder shall not substantially exceed in area 640 acres each plus a tolerance of 10% thereof, provided that should government-
al authority having jurisdiction prescribe or permit the creation of units larger than those specified, units thereafter created may conform substantially in size
with those prescribed by governmental regulations. Lessee under the provisions hereof may pool or combine acreage' covered by this lease, or any portion
thereof as above provided as to oil in any one or more strata and as to gas in any one or more strata, The units formed by pooling as to any stratum or strata
need not conform in size or area with the unit or units into which the lease is pooled or combined as to any other stratum or strata, and oil units need
not conform as to area with gas units. The pooling in one or more instances shall not exhaust the rights of the Lessee hereunder to pool this lease or
portions thereof into other tint,. Lessee shall file for record in the appropriate records of the county in which the leaned premises are situated an instrument
describing and designating the pooled acreage as a pooled unit. Lessee may at its election exercise its pooling option after commencing operations for or
completing an oil vas well on the leased premises, and the pooled unit may include, but it is not required to include, land or leases upon which a well
capable of prtxlucinr oil or gas in paying quantities has theretofore been completed or upon which operations for the drilling of a well for oil or gas have
theretofore been commenced. Operations for drilling on or production of oil or gas from any part of the pooled unit which includes all or a portion of the
land covered by this lease regardless of whether such operations for drilling were commenced or such production was secured before or after the execution
of this instrument or the instrument designating the pooled unit,shall be considered as operations for drilling on or production of oil or gas from land covered by
this lease whether or not the well or wells be located on the premises covered by this lease, and the entire acreage constituting such unit or units,as to oil and gas,
or either of them, as herein provided, shall be treated for all purposes, except the payment of royalties on production from the pooled unit, as if the same
were included in this lease. For the purpose of computing the royalties to which owners of royalties and payments out of production and each of them, shall
be entitled on production of oil and gas, or either of them, from the pooled unit, there shall be allocated to the land covered by this lease and included in
said unit n pro rata portion of the oil and gas, or either of them, produced from the pooled unit after deducting that used for operations on the pooled units.
Such allocation shall he on an acreage basis—that is to say. there shell be allocated to the acreage covered by this lease and included in the pooled unit
that pro rata portion of the oil and gas, or either of them, produced from the pooled unit which the number of surface acres covered by this lease and
included in the pooled unit hears to the total number of surface acres included in the pooled unit. Royalties hereunder shall be computed on the portion of
such production, whether it be oil and gas, or either of them, so allocated to the land covered by this lease and included in the unit just as though such
production were front such land. The production from an oil well will be considered production from the lease or oil pooled unit from which it is producing
and not :,e production from a gas pooled unit: and production from a gas well will be considered as production from the lease or gas pooled unit from
which it Ia producing and not from an oil pooled unit.
6. If at the expiration of the primary term oil or gas is not being-produced on said land, or from land pooled therewith, but Lessee is then engaged
in drilling or working operations thereon, or shall have completed a dry hole thereon within 60 days prior to the end of the primary terms, the lease shall
remain in force so long as operations on said well or for drilling or reworking of any additional well are prosecuted with no cessation of more than 60 con-
secutive days, and if they result in the production of oil or gas so long thereafter as oil or gas is produced from said land, or from land pooled therewith. If,
after the expiration of the primary term of this lease and after oil or gas is produced from said land, or from land pooled therewith, the production thereof
shocld sea=e from any exuse, this lease shall not terminate if Lessee commences operations for drilling or reworking within CO days after the cessation of
such production, but shall remain tn force and effect so long as such operations are prosecuted with no cessation of more than 60 consecutive days, and
f they re:nit in the production of oil or gas, so long thereafter as oil or gas is produced from said land. or from land pooled therewith. Any pooled unit
dsigneled by Lessee in accordance with the terms hereof, may be dissolved by Lessee by instrument filed for record in the appropriate records of the county
in which the lea-rd premises are situated at any time after the completion of a dry hole or the cessation of production on said unit. In the event a well or
wells produriing oil or gas in paying quantities should be brought in on adjacent land and within 660 feet of and draining the lease premises, or land pooled
therewith. Lessee agree, to drill such offset well or wells as a circumstances.reasonably prudent operator would drill under the same or similar circumstances. Lessee may
at any time ',amide anti deliver to Lessor or place of record a release or releases covering any portion or portions of the above described premises and
thereby surrender this lease as to such portion or portions and be relieved of all obligations as to the acreage surrendered.

including the right to draw and remove all casing. When required by Lessor, Lessee will bury all pipe lines below ordinary plow depth.
7. The rights of either party hereunder may be assigned in whole or in part, and the provisions hereof shall extend to their heirs, successors and assigns
but no shame or division in rship of the land or royalties,however accomplished, shall operate to enlarge the obligations or diminish the rights of
Lessee; and no change or dix iu on in such ownership shall he binding on Lessee until thirty (30) days after Lessee shall have been furnished by registered
