Upon termination, Lessee shall prepare, execute and deliver to Lessor a recordable release covering the leased premises in accordance with this Lease. Lessee may at any time or times execute and deliver to Lessor, a release or releases of this Lease as to all or any part of the leased premises, and thereby be relieved of all obligations as to the released land or interest, except for the indemnification obligations described in Paragraph 16 and the plugging obligations of this Lease. 4. ROYALTIES Lessee shall pay to Lessor the following royalties, which shall be free of all costs of any kind, including, but not limited to, costs of gathering, production, transportation, treating, compression, dehydration, processing, marketing, trucking or other expense, directly or indirectly incurred by Lessee, whether as a direct charge or a reduced price or otherwise. In this regard, Lessee agrees to bear one hundred percent (100%) of all costs and expenses incurred in rendering hydrocarbons produced on or from the leased premises marketable and delivering the same into the purchaser's pipeline for immediate transportation to an end user or storage facility. Additionally, said royalties shall never bear, either directly or indirectly, under any circumstances, the costs or expenses (including depreciation) to construct, repair, renovate or operate any pipeline, plant, or other facilities or equipment used in connection with the treating, separation, extraction, gathering, processing, refining, compression, transporting, manufacturing or marketing of hydrocarbons produced from the leased premises or lands pooled therewith. A. On oil, gas (including flared gas) and casinghead gas, together with any other liquid or gaseous hydrocarbons recovered by Lease operations (such as in drips or separators) twenty-five percent (25%) of the proceeds of the sale or of the market value thereof, whichever is higher. Such proceeds of oil, gas and casinghead gas, together with any other liquid or gaseous hydrocarbons recovered by Lease operations, is to be delivered free of cost at the well or to the credit of the Lessor into pipelines, gathering lines, barges or other facilities to which the wells and tanks on the property may be connected. Lessor shall always have the right, at any time and from time to time, upon reasonable written notice to Lessee, to take Lessor's share of oil, gas and processed liquids in kind. Lessor may elect to take Lessor's gas in kind at the well, or at the point of delivery where Lessee delivers Lessee's gas to any third party. If gas is processed, Lessor may elect to take Lessor's share of the residue gas attributable to production from the leased premises, at the same point of delivery where Lessee receives its share of residue gas or has its share of residue gas delivered to a third party. Lessor may elect to have its royalty share of processed liquids stored in tanks at the plant or delivered into 2 OIL AND GAS LEASE—McCart Avenue ROW pipelines on the same basis as Lessee's share of liquids is stored or delivered. Lessor shall reimburse Lessee for all reasonable costs incurred by Lessee in installing, operating or maintaining additional facilities necessary for Lessor's royalty gas and processed liquids to be separately metered, accounted for, and delivered to a third party, but Lessor shall not be charged for any expense in the production, gathering, dehydration, separation, compression, transportation, treatment, processing or storage of Lessor's share of gas and processed liquids. B. On products, twenty five percent (25%) of the gross market value or proceeds of sale thereof, whichever is higher. C. On residue gas or gas remaining after separation, extraction or processing operations, twenty five percent(25%)of the proceeds of sale or of the market value thereof, whichever is higher. D. For purposes of this Paragraph 4, the term "market value" shall mean for gas and products therefrom (i) the gross price at which gas or products therefrom are sold pursuant to a Gas Contract, as defined below, that is ratified by Lessor according to Paragraph G below or (ii) if not sold pursuant to a Gas Contract, as defined below, ratified by Lessor and Lessee, the highest gross price reasonably obtainable for the quantity of gas or products available for sale, through good faith negotiations for gas or products produced from the leased premises at the place where such gas or product is available for sale on the date of such a contract with adequate provisions for redetermination of price at intervals of no less frequency than one (1)year to ensure that the production is being sold for no less than the current market price. Included within the definition of"Market Value" as used herein is the presumption that Gas Contracts that are ratified by Lessor are arms-length contracts with purchasers who are not affiliates of Lessee. An "affiliate" includes, but is not limited to, the parent company or a subsidiary of Lessee, a corporation or other entity having common ownership with Lessee, a partner or joint venturer of Lessee with respect to the ownership or operation of the processing plant, a corporation or other entity in which Lessee owns a ten percent or greater interest, or any individual, corporation or other entity that owns a ten percent or greater interest in Lessee. In no event shall "market value" ever be less than the amount actually received by the Lessee for the sale of hydrocarbons. E. This Lease is intended to cover only oil and gas, but some other substances (including helium and sulphur) may be produced necessarily with and incidental to the production of oil or gas from the leased premises; and, in such event, this Lease shall also cover all such other substances so produced. On all such substances so produced under and by virtue of the terms of this Lease, Lessor shall receive a royalty of twenty five percent (25%)of all such substances so produced and saved, same to be delivered to Lessor, free of all costs; or, at Lessor's election, Lessor's twenty five percent(25%) of such substances shall be sold by Lessee with Lessee's portion of such substances and at the same profit realized by Lessee for its portion of such substances. 3 OIL AND GAS LEASE—Mccart Avenue ROW F. All royalties hereinabove provided shall be payable in cash (unless Lessor elects to take such royalty oil or gas in kind) to Lessor within ninety (90) days following the end of the month in which the first commercial sale of production occurred and thereafter no more than sixty (60) days after the end of the month following the month during which production takes place. Subject to the provisions of Paragraph 10 of this Lease concerning shut-in wells, royalties shall be paid to Lessor by Lessee and/or its assigns or by the product purchaser for oil and/or gas. Upon the failure of any party to pay Lessor the royalty as provided in this paragraph, Lessor may, at Lessor's option, elect to terminate this Lease by sending written notice to Lessee. Lessee shall then have thirty (30) days from the date of service of such written notice in which to avoid termination of this Lease by making or causing to be made the proper royalty payment or payments that should have been paid. If such royalty payment is not made on or before the expiration of the 30-day period, or written approval is not obtained from Lessor to defer such payment, Lessor may elect to terminate this Lease by filing a Notice of Termination with the County Clerk in the county where the leased premises are located. The effective date of said termination shall be the date said Notice of Termination is filed with the said County Clerk. G. Lessee agrees that it will not enter into any contract for the sale, delivery, transporting or processing of gas produced from the leased premises which shall extend more than two (2) years from the effective date of such sales contract unless such contract has adequate provisions for redetermination of price at intervals of no less frequency than one (1) year to ensure that production from this Lease is not being sold for less than the then current market value. At least thirty (30) days prior to the delivery or the execution of any contract for the sale, delivery, transporting or processing of gas produced from the leased premises, Lessee shall provide Lessor with a complete copy of each proposed contract for the purchase, transportation and/or processing of such gas that Lessee intends to execute (each a "Gas Contract"), whereupon, Lessor shall have fifteen (15) days within which to either ratify such Gas Contract or notify Lessee in writing that it does not approve of such Gas Contract, including a statement of the reasons that Lessor does not approve of such Gas Contract (Lessor's failure to respond within the fifteen (15) days either by ratification or by written notice that it does not approve of the proposed Gas Contract shall be deemed to be Lessor's ratification of such Gas Contract). If Lessor ratifies the Gas Contract, Lessor shall be deemed bound by the terms of such Gas Contract (and, at Lessee's option, Lessor shall execute such Gas Contract as a party thereto) and the gas or products therefrom sold pursuant to such Gas Contract shall be deemed sold at market value based on the gross price stated therein. Lessee shall not amend or modify any material terms of a Gas Contract ratified by Lessor without the prior written consent of Lessor. If Lessor does not approve of a Gas Contract, Lessee shall consult with Lessor in an effort to agree to the terms of the proposed Gas Contract, and if the other party or parties to the Gas Contract agree to the changes or modifications to the Gas Contract which are 4 OIL AND GAS LEASE—McCart Avenue ROW proposed by Lessor in order for Lessor to ratify such Gas Contract, then Lessor shall be deemed to have ratified such Gas Contract (and, at Lessee's option, Lessor shall execute such Gas Contract as amended and modified, as a party thereto). If Lessor and Lessee cannot agree on the terms of a Gas Contract that are acceptable to the other party or parties thereto, Lessee may elect to execute such Gas Contract and sell, deliver, transport and process gas according to the terms thereof, subject to the other terms of this Paragraph 4 concerning the payment of Lessor's royalty on gas and products there from, including the right of Lessor to take its share of gas in kind. In the event Lessor elects to take and separately dispose of its royalty share of gas, the parties shall enter into a mutually acceptable balancing agreement providing for (a) the right of an under produced party to make up an imbalance by taking up to 150 percent of its share of production and (b) an obligation to settle any imbalance remaining after depletion in cash, based on the proceeds received by the overproduced party when the imbalance was created, or if the overproduced party's gas was used but not sold, based on the market value of the gas when imbalance was created. H. In the event Lessee enters into a gas purchase contract which contains what is commonly referred to as a "take or pay provision" (such provision meaning that the gas purchaser agrees to take delivery of a specified minimum volume or quantity of gas over a specified term at a specified price or to make minimum periodic payments to the producer for gas not taken by the purchaser) and the purchaser under such gas purchase contract makes payment to Lessee by virtue of such purchaser's failure to take delivery of such minimum volume or quantity of gas, then Lessor shall be entitled to twenty five percent (25%) of all such sums paid to Lessee or producer under the "pay" provisions of such gas purchase contract. Such royalty payments shall be due and owing to Lessor within thirty (30) days after the receipt of such payments by Lessee. If the gas purchaser "makes up" such gas within the period called for in the gas contract and Lessee is required to give such purchaser a credit for gas previously paid for but not taken, then Lessor shall not be entitled to royalty on such "make up" gas. If Lessee is not producing any quantities of gas from the leased premises but is receiving payments under the "pay" portion of such "take or pay" gas purchase contract provision, such payments shall not relieve Lessee of the duty to make shut-in royalty payments if Lessee desires to continue this Lease, but such "take or pay" royalty payments shall be applied as a credit against any shut-in royalty obligation of the Lessee. Lessor shall be a third-party beneficiary of any gas purchase contract and/or transportation agreement entered into between Lessee and any purchaser and/or transporter of Lessor's gas, irrespective of any provision of said contracts to the contrary, and such gas purchase contract and/or transportation agreement will expressly so provide. Further, Lessor shall be entitled to twenty-five percent (25%) of the value of any benefits obtained by or granted to Lessee from any gas purchaser and/or transporter for the amendment, modification, extension, alteration, consolidation, transfer, 5 OIL AND GAS LEASE—McCart Avenue ROW cancellation or settlement of any,gas purchase contract and/or transportation agreement. 1. Lessee agrees that before any gas produced from the leased premises is used or sold off the leased premises, it will be run, free of cost to Lessor, through an adequate oil and gas separator of a conventional type or equipment at least as efficient, to the end that all liquid hydrocarbons recoverable from the gas by such means will be recovered and Lessor properly compensated therefor. J. Any payment of royalty or shut-in gas royalty hereunder paid to Lessor in excess of the amount actually due to the Lessor shall nevertheless become the property of the Lessor if Lessee does not make written request to Lessor for reimbursement within one (I) year from the date that Lessor received the erroneous payment, it being agreed and expressly understood between the parties hereto that Lessor is not the collecting agent for any other royalty owner under the lands covered hereby, and a determination of the name, interest ownership and whereabouts of any person entitled to any payment whatsoever under the terms hereof shall be the sole responsibility of Lessee. It is further expressly agreed and understood that: (i) this provision shall in no way diminish the obligation of Lessee to make full and punctual payments of all amounts due to Lessor or to any other person under the terms and provisions of this Lease, and (ii) any overpayments made to the Lessor under any provisions of this Lease shall not be entitled to be offset against future amounts payable to parties hereunder. K. The terms of this Lease may not be amended by any division order and the signing of a division order by any mineral owner may not be made a prerequisite to payment of royalty hereunder. L. Oil, gas or products may not be sold to a subsidiary or affiliate of Lessee as defined herein without the Lessor's prior written permission. M. Lessee shall pay Lessor royalty on all gas produced from a well on the leased premises and sold or used off the leased premises, regardless of whether or not such gas is produced to the credit of Lessee or sold under a contract executed by or binding on Lessee. Should gas be sold under a sales contract not binding on Lessee, Lessor's royalty will be calculated based on the highest price paid for any of the gas produced from the well from which such gas is produced. In no event will the price paid Lessor for Lessor's share of gas be less than the price paid Lessee for Lessee's share of gas. 5. POOLING Lessee, upon the prior written consent of Lessor, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, is hereby given the right to pool or combine the acreage covered by this Lease or any portion thereof as to oil and gas, or either of them with any other land, lease or leases in the immediate vicinity thereof to the extent hereinafter stipulated, when it is necessary or advisable to do so in order to properly explore, or develop, produce and operate said leased premises in compliance with the spacing rules of the appropriate lawful authority, or when to do so would promote the conservation of oil and gas in and under and that 6 OIL AND GAS LEASE—McCart Avenue ROW may be produced from said premises. Should Lessee desire to exercise its pooling right as to any part of the land, Lessee shall first provide written notice to Lessor at The City of Fort Worth, Attention: Planning and Development Department, 1000 Throckmorton Street, Fort Worth, Texas 76102. Lessee shall provide three(3)copies of the notice to the Lessor which shall include a plat of the proposed pooled tract intended to be pooled. Furthermore, Lessee shall describe the amount of the leased premises intended to be included within the pooled unit and the total amount of the proposed pooled unit. Lessor shall have forty-five (45) days following its receipt of the pooling notice to approve or reject the proposed pooled tract by notice to Lessee. If Lessor does not provide notice of approval or rejection within such forty-five (45) day period, the proposed pooled tract shall be deemed approved by Lessor on the forty-sixth day following its receipt of the pooling notice. In the absence of field rules, units pooled for oil and gas hereunder shall not exceed the acreage provided for retained acreage tracts in Section 7. 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 units. Lessee shall file for record in the appropriate records of the county in which the leased premises are situated an instrument describing the pooled acreage as a pooled unit. In this regard,Lessee shall provide Lessor with a copy of any and all documents filed with any regulatory authority or recorded in the records of any county within thirty (30) days of filing such documents. Upon the recordation of the unit in the county records and the timely furnishing of the copies required herein to Lessor the unit shall be effective as to all parties hereto, their heirs, successors, and assigns, irrespective of whether or not the unit is likewise effective as to all other owners of surface, mineral, royalty or other rights in land included in such unit. Lessee may at its election exercise its pooling option before or after commencing operations for or completing an oil or gas 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 producing 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. In the event of operations for drilling on or production of oil or gas from any part of a pooled unit which includes all or a portion of the land covered by this Lease, such operations shall be considered as operations for drilling on or production of oil and gas from land covered by this Lease whether or not the well or wells be located on the premises covered by this Lease and in such event operations for drilling shall be deemed to have been commenced on said land within the meaning of 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 7 OIL AND GAS LEASE—McCart Avenue Row on production of oil and gas, or either of them, there shall be allocated to the land covered by this Lease and included in said unit (or to each separate tract within the unit if this Lease covers separate tracts within the unit) a pro rata portion of the oil and gas, or either of them, produced from the pooled unit. Royalties hereunder shall be computed on the portion of such production, whether it be on 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 from such land. The production from an oil well will be considered as production from this Lease or oil pooled unit from which it is producing and not as production from a gas pooled unit; and production from a gas well will be considered as production from this Lease or gas pooled unit from which it is producing and not from an oil pooled unit. The formation of any unit hereunder shall not have the effect of changing the ownership of any delay rental or shut-in production royalty which may become payable under this Lease. If this Lease now or hereafter covers separate tracts, no pooling or unitization of royalty interest as between any such separate tracts is intended or shall be implied or result merely from the inclusion of such separate tracts within this Lease but Lessee shall nevertheless have the right to pool as provided above with consequent allocation of production as provided above. As used in this paragraph, the words "separate tract" mean any tract with royalty ownership differing, now or hereafter, either as to parties or amounts, from that as to any other part of the leased premises. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary therein above, all of the leased premises contained in this lease shall be included in a unit unless Lessee is able to demonstrate that for prudent development purposes only a portion of the lease should be included in a unit. In such cases, at least 50%of the leased premises must be included in the unit. 6. CONTINUOUS DRILLING At the expiration of the primary term this Lease shall remain in full force and effect for so long as Lessee is conducting Continuous Drilling Operations (as herein defined). Lessee shall be considered to be engaged in Continuous Drilling Operations at the expiration of the primary term if. (1) Lessee is then engaged in drilling operations on the leased premises or lands pooled therewith or(2)Lessee has completed a well as a producer or as a dry hole within one hundred twenty (120) days prior to the expiration of the primary term. Lessee also shall be considered to be engaged in Continuous Drilling Operations for so long thereafter as Lessee conducts drilling operations on the leased premises, or lands pooled therewith,with due diligence and with intervals of no more than one hundred twenty(120) days between the date of completion of one well and the date of commencement of drilling operations on an additional well. "Completion"shall be considered to be the date of release of the completion rig for a completed well,but in no event more than one hundred twenty (120) days following the release of the drilling rig. In the case of a dry hole, "completion" shall be considered to be the date of release of the drilling rig. "Commencement"shall be the 8 OIL AND GAS LEASE—Mccart Avenue ROW actual spud date of a well. Continuous Drilling Operations shall be deemed to have ceased upon the failure of Lessee to commence drilling operations on an additional well within such one hundred twenty (120) day period. When the Continuous Drilling Operations cease, the provisions of Paragraph 7 will be applicable. 7. RETAINED ACREAGE A. Vertical Wells At the expiration of the primary term of this Lease or upon the termination of the continuous drilling program set forth in Paragraph 6, each non-horizontal well drilled hereon capable of producing in paying quantities will hold only forty (40) acres for any formation from the surface to the base of the Barnett Shale formation. As to depths below the base of the Barnett Shale Formation, the proration unit shall be the minimum size necessary to obtain the maximum production allowable. If the proration unit for a well completed below the base of the Barnett Shale Formation is larger than 40 acres, the well may maintain the Lease as to formations above the base of the Barnett Shale Formation as to not more than 40 acres. All other acreage except that included in a proration unit or pooled unit as described above will cease to be covered by this Lease and will be released. To the extent possible, each such proration unit will be in the shape of a square, with the bottom of the well in the center. Further, it is understood and agreed that Lessee shall earn depths as to each proration unit or pooled unit only from the surface down a depth which is the stratigraphic equivalent to a depth of one hundred feet (100') below the deepest producing formation in such well which is capable of producing oil or gas in paying quantities at the expiration of the primary term of this Lease or upon the termination of the continuous drilling program set forth in Paragraph 6. This Lease will terminate at such time as to all depths below such depths as to each respective proration unit or pooled unit. If production should thereafter cease as to acreage included in a proration unit or pooled unit, this Lease will terminate as to such acreage unless Lessee commences reworking or additional drilling operations on such acreage within ninety (90) days thereafter and continues such reworking or additional drilling operations until commercial production is restored thereon, provided that if more than ninety (90) days elapse between the abandonment of such well as a dry hole and the commencement of actual drilling operations for an additional well, or more than ninety (90) days pass since the commencement of reworking operations without the restoration of commercial production, this Lease shall terminate as to the applicable proration unit or pooled unit. At any time or times that this Lease terminates as to all or any portion of the acreage of the leased premises, Lessee shall promptly execute and record in the office of the County Clerk in the County where the leased premises are located, a proper release of such terminated acreage and shall furnish executed counterparts of each such release to Lessor at the address shown in Paragraph 19 hereof. B. Horizontal Wells 9 OIL AND GAS LEASE—Mccart Avenue Row It is expressly understood and agreed that, subject to the other terms, provisions and limitations contained in this Lease, Lessee shall have the right to drill "horizontal wells" under the leased premises, or lands pooled therewith. The term "horizontal well"or "horizontally drilled well" shall mean any well that is drilled with one or more horizontal drainholes having a horizontal drainhole displacement of at least five hundred eighty-five (585) feet. For the purposes of further defining the term "horizontal wells" and "horizontally drilled" reference is made to the definitions contained within Statewide Rule 86, as promulgated by the Railroad Commission of Texas, which definitions are incorporated herein for all purposes. In the event of any partial termination of the Lease as provided in Paragraph 7A, then, with regard to a well which is a horizontal well or a horizontally drilled well, Lessee shall be entitled to retain all sands and horizons at all depths from the surface down to a depth which is the stratigraphic equivalent of a depth of one hundred (100) feet below the base of the deepest producing formation in such well which is capable of producing oil or gas in paying quantities, but only in a spacing unit the area or number of acres of which are equal to the area or number of acres determined by adding twenty (20) acres for each five- hundred eighty-five(585) feet horizontally drilled to the original forty(40) acres deemed to be a proration unit for each vertical well. Each such tract around each horizontally drilled well shall be as nearly in the shape of a square or a rectangle as is practical with the boundaries of the tract including the entire horizontal drainhole and the lateral boundaries of such tract being approximately equal distance from such drainhole and parallel thereto. If production should thereafter cease as to acreage included in a proration unit or pooled unit, this Lease will terminate as to such acreage unless Lessee commences reworking or additional drilling operations on such acreage within ninety (90) days thereafter and continues such reworking or additional drilling operations until commercial production is restored thereon, provided that if more than ninety (90) days pass between the abandonment of such well and the commencement of actual drilling operations for an additional well, or more than ninety (90) days pass since the commencement of reworking operations without the restoration of commercial production, the Lease shall terminate as to the applicable proration unit. At any time or times that this Lease terminates as to all or any portion of the acreage of the leased premises, Lessee shall promptly execute and record in the office of the County Clerk in the County where the leased premises are; located, a proper release of such terminated acreage and shall furnish executed counterparts of each such release to Lessor at the address shown in Paragraph 19 hereof. 8. OFFSET OBLIGATIONS In the event a well or wells producing oil or gas should be brought in on land within 330 feet from 10 OIL AND GAS LEASE—McCart Avenue ROW any boundary of the leased premises, Lessee agrees within ninety (90) days from commencement of production from such well or wells to commence the actual drilling of an offset well or wells on the leased premises; provided that the well or wells which are to be offset are producing in paying quantities and have been perforated and fraced within 330 feet of the leased premises; or Lessee shall release to Lessor free of this Lease the offsetting tract. 9. FORCE MAJEURE A. The term "force majeure" as used herein shall mean and include: requisition, order, regulation, or control by governmental authority or commission; exercise of rights or priority or control by governmental authority for national defense or war purpose resulting in delay in obtaining or inability to obtain either material, equipment or means of transportation normally necessary in prospecting or drilling for oil, gas or other mineral granted herein, or in producing, handling or transporting same from the leased premises; war, scarcity of or delay in obtaining materials or equipment; lack of labor or means of transportation of labor or materials; acts of God; insurrection; flood; strike; or other things beyond the control of Lessee. The term "force majeure" shall not include lack of markets for production or any other events affecting only the economic or financial aspects of drilling, development or production. B. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Lease, but subject to the conditions hereinafter set forth in this Paragraph 9, should Lessee be prevented by "force majeure" as defined above, from conducting drilling or reworking operations on, or producing oil, gas or other mineral from, the leased premises, such failure shall not constitute a ground for the termination of this Lease or subject said Lessee to damages therefore; and the period of time during which Lessee is so prevented shall not be counted against Lessee, but this Lease shall be extended for a period of time equal to that during which such Lessee is so prevented from conducting such drilling or reworking operations on, or producing oil, gas or other mineral from, such leased premises provided, however, that in no event will the primary term be extended unless Lessee has begun the actual drilling of a well prior to the date of the expiration of the primary term. All of the provisions of this paragraph are subject to each of the following express conditions: The terms and conditions of this paragraph shall not extend beyond the expiration date of any law, order, rule or regulation invoked under this paragraph, and shall be applicable and effective only during the following periods: (I) If the force majeure shall occur during the primary term of this Lease, it shall not operate to extend this Lease more than two (2) consecutive years beyond the expiration of the primary term. (2) If the force majeure shall occur during a one hundred twenty (120) day drilling or reworking period provided for in Paragraphs 6 and 7 hereof, after the primary term has 11 011.AND GAS LEASE—McCart Avenue ROW expired, then it shall not operate to extend the Lease more than two (2) successive years beyond the expiration of such one hundred twenty(120)day periods. (3) In no event will the primary term be extended beyond the two (2) year term described in B (1)and B (2). C. None of the provisions of this paragraph shall ever be or become effective and applicable unless Lessee shall, within a reasonable time (not to exceed sixty (60)days in any event)after occurrence of the claimed event of force majeure above referred to, notify the Lessor, in writing, of such occurrence with full particulars thereof. D. The terms of this paragraph do not apply to monetary payments due under the terms of this Lease. 10. SHUT-IN GAS WELL PROVISIONS If at any time after the expiration of the primary term while there is a gas well on the leased premises or land pooled therewith which is capable of producing gas in paying quantities, but the production thereof is shut-in or suspended for any reason, and if this Lease is not then continued in force by some other provision hereof, then this Lease shall nevertheless continue in force as to such well and the pooled unit or proration unit allocated to it for a period of sixty(60)days from the date such well is shut-in or at the end of the primary term, whichever is the later date. Before the expiration of any such sixty(60) day period, Lessee or any Assignee hereunder may pay or tender to the Lessor a shut-in royalty equal to Five Hundred Dollars ($500.00) per shut-in gas well and if such payment or tender is timely made, this Lease shall continue in force but only as to said well or wells and the proration unit or the pooled unit allocated to it or them and it shall be considered that gas is being produced from said well or wells in paying quantities for one (1) year from the date such well or wells are shut-in, and in like manner one, and only one, subsequent shut-in royalty payment may be made or tendered and it will be considered that gas is being produced from said well or wells in paying quantities for such additional one (l)year period as well. Lessee shall not be entitled to recover any shut-in royalty payments from the future sale of gas.
