Re: Kuby Assignments in Palo Pinto County, Texas
Dear Xxxxx:
Attached hereto please find the Kuby, et al. Assignment revised to include the Xxxxx Xxxx Xxxx Lease referred to in the Kuby Assignment of Overriding Royalty Interest. As we discussed, I have no way of knowing, but assume that the two leases listed in the Kuby Assignment are the only two leases covering the 220 acres, If that is not the case, the following would not be correct.
Also attached is an Assignment of Overriding Royalty Interest from Mesa Operating to Mesa Resources which you should sign and record.
Once these documents are signed and recorded, the Working Interest and Overriding Royalty Interest listed on the two Division of Interest statements you provided me will be correct as follows:
A. | 218 Acres and the Bridge #1 and #4 Xxxxx: | |
WI: Mesa Resources, Inc.: | 100% of an 80.25% NR1 | |
ORRI: Xxx Xxxxxx: | 6.25% | |
Xxxx X. Xxxxxxxx- | 1.00% | |
Total: | 87.50% | |
B. | 0 Xxxx Xxxxx xxx Xxxxx #0 Xxxx | |
XX: No change in WI as stated in the DOI. | ||
ORRI: Mesa Resources, Inc.: | 7.500000% | |
Xxxx Xxxx: | 7.298611% | |
Xxx Xxxxxx: | 6.250000% | |
Xxxx X. Xxxxxxxx: | 1.000000% |
