Section 1.05 Warranty.

(a) The Warranty. Assignor warrants to Assignee that (i) Assignor’s Net Revenue Interest in production of Minerals from each Development Well, determined prior to giving effect to this Conveyance and the Perpetual PUD Conveyance, is no less than the Assignor’s Net Revenue Interest used to calculate the NRI Factor for such Development Well pursuant to the Development Agreement, and (ii) the Royalty Interest is free of all Encumbrances, except for Permitted Encumbrances, in all cases by, through, or under Assignor and any predecessor Affiliate of Assignor, but not otherwise.

(b) Remedies. If there is a breach of the foregoing warranty with respect to a Development Well, Assignee shall receive payment of Assignee Proceeds based upon the Assignor’s Net Revenue Interest warranted in this Conveyance as to such Development Well. In such event Assignor’s retained net revenue interest in the Subject Minerals produced through such Development Well after giving effect to this Conveyance and the Perpetual PUD Conveyance (“Assignor Retained Minerals”) shall be reduced by the difference between the Assignor’s Net Revenue Interest warranted in this Conveyance as to such Development Well and the actual Assignor’s Net Revenue Interest in such Development Well and Assignee shall have no further recourse for such breach of warranty. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if as a result of a breach of the foregoing warranty with respect to a Development Well, the actual Assignor’s Net Revenue Interest in such Development Well is less than one-half (1/2) the warranted Assignor’s Net Revenue Interest in such Development Well, and as a result there are not sufficient Assignor Retained Minerals in such Development Well, Assignee’s sole remedy shall be to receive payment on each Payment Date, out of the Assignor Retained Minerals from other Development Xxxxx, without interest (except interest payable under this Conveyance on payments made after the applicable due date as described in Section 5.02 below), of an amount equal to the difference between (x) the Assignee Proceeds that Assignee would have received with respect to such Development Well in the applicable Computation Period if such warranty had not been breached and (y) the Assignee Proceeds that Assignee actually received during that Computation Period with respect to such Development Well, and any such amounts of Assignor Retained Minerals from other Development Xxxxx shall be treated as Assignee Minerals. Assignor may not transfer, sell or otherwise dispose of any of the Subject Interests unless the acquiror thereof agrees to be bound by and assume Assignor’s obligations under this Section 1.05(b) with respect to such Subject Interests assigned.

(c) Excess Interest. In the event Assignor or Assignee determines that Assignor’s Net Revenue Interest in a Development Well prior to giving effect to this Conveyance and the Perpetual PUD Conveyance is greater than the Assignor’s Net Revenue Interest used to calculate the NRI Factor for such Development Well pursuant to the Development Agreement, (i) the NRI Factor used by Assignor for such Development Well shall not be adjusted, (ii) the Royalty Interest shall be reduced by an amount equal to 0.2500 multiplied by the difference between the actual Assignor’s Net Revenue Interest in such Development Well and the Assignor’s Net Revenue Interest used to calculate the NRI Factor for such Development Well warranted in this Conveyance as to such Development Well, and such amount shall automatically and immediately revert to and revest in Assignor, and (iii) the Royalty Interest and the payment of Assignee Proceeds shall be calculated based upon the

Assignor’s Net Revenue Interest used to calculate the NRI Factor for such Development Well pursuant to the Development Agreement.

(d) DISCLAIMER. EXCEPT FOR THE SPECIAL WARRANTY OF TITLE GIVEN IN SECTION 1.05(a), ASSIGNOR MAKES THIS CONVEYANCE AND ASSIGNS THE ROYALTY INTEREST WITHOUT RECOURSE, COVENANT OR WARRANTY OF TITLE OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY. ANY COVENANTS OR WARRANTIES IMPLIED BY STATUTE OR LAW BY THE USE HEREIN OF THE WORDS “GRANT”, “CONVEY” OR OTHER SIMILAR WORDS ARE HEREBY EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMED, WAIVED AND NEGATED. WITHOUT LIMITING THE GENERALITY OF THE TWO PRECEDING SENTENCES, ASSIGNEE ACKNOWLEDGES THAT ASSIGNOR HAS NOT MADE, AND ASSIGNOR HEREBY EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS AND NEGATES, AND ASSIGNEE HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVES, ANY REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY, EXPRESS, IMPLIED, AT COMMON LAW, BY STATUTE OR OTHERWISE RELATING TO (i) PRODUCTION RATES, RECOMPLETION OPPORTUNITIES, DECLINE RATES OR THE QUALITY, QUANTITY OR VOLUME OF THE RESERVES OF MINERALS, IF ANY, ATTRIBUTABLE TO THE SUBJECT INTERESTS, (ii) ANY IMPLIED OR EXPRESS WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, (iii) ANY IMPLIED OR EXPRESS WARRANTY OF FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, (iv) ANY IMPLIED OR EXPRESS WARRANTY OF CONFORMITY TO MODELS OR SAMPLES OF MATERIALS, AND (v) ANY AND ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES EXISTING UNDER ANY APPLICABLE LEGAL REQUIREMENT; IT BEING THE EXPRESS INTENTION OF BOTH ASSIGNEE AND ASSIGNOR THAT THE ROYALTY INTEREST IS HEREBY ASSIGNED TO ASSIGNEE ON AN “AS IS” AND “WHERE IS” BASIS WITH ALL FAULTS, AND THAT ASSIGNEE HAS MADE OR CAUSED TO BE MADE SUCH INSPECTIONS AS ASSIGNEE DEEMS APPROPRIATE. ASSIGNOR AND ASSIGNEE AGREE THAT, TO THE EXTENT REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LEGAL REQUIREMENTS TO BE EFFECTIVE, THE DISCLAIMERS OF CERTAIN WARRANTIES CONTAINED IN THIS SECTION ARE “CONSPICUOUS” DISCLAIMERS FOR THE PURPOSES OF ANY APPLICABLE LEGAL REQUIREMENT.

(e) Substitution of Warranty. This instrument is made with full substitution and subrogation of Assignee in and to all covenants of warranty by Third Persons (other than Affiliates of Assignor) heretofore given or made with respect to the Development Xxxxx, the Subject Interests or any part thereof or interest therein.

Section 1.06 Stipulation. Following the determination of the Adjusted Development Well Amount for a Development Well, Assignor shall execute and deliver a recordable stipulation in the form of Exhibit C attached hereto, to be acknowledged and countersigned by Assignee, identifying (i) the Development Xxxxx drilled to date (including an API number for each such Development Well) and (ii) Assignor’s Net Revenue Interest warranted by Assignor and used to calculate the NRI Factor for each of the Development Xxxxx drilled to date. Each stipulation shall establish the Assignor’s Net Revenue Interest used to calculate the NRI Factor for such Development Well pursuant to the Development Agreement for the purpose of the warranty of title provided in Section 1.05(a) of this Conveyance; provided that, such stipulation shall not waive or otherwise limit Assignee’s rights with respect to any claim for breach of warranty regarding each Development Well or Assignor’s Net Revenue Interest therein.

Section 4.03 Delivery of Subject Minerals. Assignor (whether or not it is serving as Assignee’s agent and representative) shall deliver or cause to be delivered Assignor’s Net Share of Minerals (including Assignee Minerals) to the purchasers thereof.

Section 4.04 Processing. Assignor may, or may by contract cause a Third Person to, dehydrate, separate, treat, compress or otherwise process Assignor’s Net Share of Minerals (including Assignee Minerals) and may commit any of the Subject Interests (including the Royalty Interest) to an agreement for processing Minerals (pursuant to which, for example, the plant owner or operator receives a portion of the Minerals or plant products therefrom or proceeds of the sale thereof as a fee for processing), so long as (a) Assignor enters into such processing arrangements in good faith and in accordance with the Reasonably Prudent Operator Standard and (b) any such processing arrangements entered into with Affiliates of Assignor contain rates and charges that are comparable to the prevailing charges for similar services in the applicable area. Assignee shall be bound by such arrangements and shall permit all Assignee Minerals to be processed by Assignor or its contractor. Assignee shall not, however, be personally liable for any costs or risks associated with such processing operations, but Assignee shall indirectly suffer the energy content reduction and volume reductions associated with processing through corresponding reductions in the content and volumes of Assignee Minerals.

ARTICLE V

PAYMENT

Section 5.01 Obligation to Pay.

(a) The Obligation. After each Computation Period and on or before the Payment Date for that Computation Period, Assignor shall tender to Assignee the Assignee Proceeds for the applicable Computation Period, plus, to the extent applicable, (i) all of the proceeds to be paid to Assignee from the sale of Assignee Minerals produced during any prior Computation Periods, to the extent not previously paid to Assignee, (ii) any amounts payable to Assignee under Section 1.05(b) for the most recently completed Computation Period and (iii) any amounts (including any interest earned thereon) that were previously deposited with a Third Person escrow agent in accordance with Section 5.01(d) and subsequently determined by Assignor to be validly owing to Assignee. All such amounts shall be transmitted to Assignee by Assignor by means of wire transfer of funds to a bank account specified by Assignee pursuant to written instructions which shall remain in effect until and unless changed by subsequent written notice to Assignor.

(b) Payment Date. “Payment Date” for each Computation Period means the thirty-fifth (35th) day after the end of such Computation Period. If such day is not a Business Day, the Payment Date shall be the next Business Day.

(c) No Segregated Account. Prior to distribution to Assignee, all amounts received by Assignor from the sale of Assignee Minerals shall be held by Assignor in one of its general bank accounts and Assignor will not be required to maintain a segregated account for such funds or, as to disputed proceeds, deposited by Assignor with a Third Person escrow agent in accordance with Section 5.01(d).

(d) Disputed Proceeds. If Assignor receives any amount of money from the sale of Assignee Minerals that is subject to controversy or, in the good faith, reasonable opinion of Assignor, possible controversy, Assignor shall promptly deposit such money with a Third Person escrow agent in a segregated interest-bearing account. Such amount shall not be treated as a portion of Assignee Proceeds so long as it remains with such escrow agent, but shall be treated as a portion of Assignee Proceeds, along with the accrued interest, if any, when received from such escrow agent and paid over to Assignee.

Section 5.02 Interest on Past Due Payments.

(a) Obligation to Pay. Any Assignee Proceeds or other amounts of money not paid by Assignor to Assignee when due shall bear, and Assignor will pay, interest at the Prime Interest Rate on the overdue amount commencing on the sixth (6th) day after such due date until such amount is paid.

(b) Definition. “Prime Interest Rate” means the lesser of (i) the rate of interest per annum publicly announced from time to time by The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A. as its “prime rate” in effect at its principal office in New York City, New York (each change in the Prime Rate to be effective on the date such change is publicly announced), with the understanding that such bank’s “prime rate” may be one of several base

rates, may serve as a basis upon which effective rates are from time to time calculated for loans making reference thereto, and may not be the lowest of such bank’s base rates or (ii) the maximum rate of interest permitted under applicable Legal Requirement.

Section 5.03 Overpayments and Refunds.

(a) Overpayments. If Assignor ever pays Assignee more than the amount of money then due and payable to Assignee under this Conveyance, Assignee shall not be obligated to return the overpayment, but Assignor may at any time thereafter deduct from Assignee Proceeds and retain for its own account an amount equal to the overpayment.

(b) Refunds. If Assignor is ever legally obligated to pay any Third Person, including any Minerals purchaser or Governmental Authority, any refund, interest, penalty or other amount of money, because any payment of Assignee Proceeds received by Assignor for the account of Assignee exceeded, or allegedly exceeded, the amount due or lawful under any applicable contract, Legal Requirement, or other obligation, Assignor may thereafter deduct from Assignee Proceeds and retain for its own account an amount equal to such payment.

Section 5.04 Protection of Assignee Proceeds. It is the intent of Assignor and Assignee that Assignee is an “interest owner” with an interest separate and distinct from that of Assignor within the meaning and for the purposes of the Oil and Gas Owners’ Lien Act of 2010, Okla. Stat. tit. 52, § 549.1, et. seq., and that Assignee is entitled to all the benefits of such Act.

ARTICLE VI

RECORDS AND REPORTS

Section 6.01 Books, Records and Accounts.

(a) Obligation to Maintain. Assignor shall maintain true and correct books, records and accounts of (i) all transactions required or permitted by this Conveyance and (ii) the financial information necessary to effect such transactions, including the financial information needed to calculate each installment of Assignee Proceeds.

(b) Right of Inspection. Assignee or its representatives, at Assignee’s expense, may inspect and copy such books, records and accounts in the offices of Assignor during normal business hours and upon reasonable notice.

Section 6.02 Statements.

(a) Quarterly Statements. On each Payment Date, Assignor shall deliver to Assignee a statement showing the computation of the Assignee Proceeds for the applicable Computation Period.

(b) Annual Statements. On the first Payment Date after the end of each calendar year and on the final Payment Date after the Termination Date, such statement shall also show the computation of Assignee Proceeds for the preceding calendar year or, for the Payment Date after the Termination Date, for the portion of the calendar year from 12:01 a.m. Central Time on January 1 of that same year through the Termination Date.

(c) Contents of Statements. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing provisions in this Section 6.02, each statement delivered by Assignor to Assignee pursuant to this Section 6.02 shall state, for the relevant period, to the extent Assignor has the information necessary to determine such amounts, (i) the total volumes of Subject Minerals produced from the Development Xxxxx, (ii) the total volumes of Assignor’s Net Share of Minerals produced from each Development Well, (iii) the total volumes of Assignee Minerals, (iv) the applicable Sales Price, (v) the Chargeable Costs, (vi) the amount of Assignee Proceeds due and payable for the relevant period and (vii) the amounts of money, if any, due and payable by any purchaser of Assignor’s Net Share of Minerals (including Assignee Minerals), the nonpayment of which resulted in a reduction in Assignee Proceeds for the relevant period. If Assignor is not the operator of a Development Well and such information is not made available to the Assignor as a non-operator, Assignor shall use commercially reasonable efforts to exercise its contractual rights with respect to the operator of such Development Well to cause such operator to provide such information to Assignor.

Section 6.03 Assignee’s Exceptions to Quarterly Statements. If Assignee takes exception to any item or items included in any statement required by Section 6.02, Assignee must notify Assignor in writing within sixty (60) days after Assignee’s receipt of such statement. Such Notice must set forth in reasonable detail the specific charges complained of and to which exception is taken. Adjustments shall be made promptly for all complaints and exceptions that are justified. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, all matters reflected in Assignor’s statements for the preceding calendar year (or portion thereof) that are not objected to by Assignee in the manner provided by this Section 6.03 shall be deemed correct as rendered by Assignor to Assignee.

Section 6.04 Other Information.

(a) Disclosure. At Assignee’s request, subject to applicable restrictions on disclosure and transfer of information, Assignor shall give Assignee and its designated representatives reasonable access in Assignor’s office during normal business hours to all title, geological (to the extent not prohibited by any applicable license agreement), Development Well and production data in Assignor’s possession or Assignor’s Affiliates’ possession, relating to operations on the Subject Interests. In addition, Assignor shall promptly provide Assignee with such other information in Assignor’s possession or Assignor’s Affiliates’ possession, relating to operations on the Subject Interests, as reasonably requested by Assignee as well as provide such documentation as the Trustee may reasonably request to confirm the satisfaction of the Assignor’s drilling obligation under the Development Agreement.

(b) Disclaimer of Warranties and Liability. Assignor makes no representations or warranties about the accuracy or completeness of any data, reports, studies or other information made available to Assignee and shall have no liability to Assignee or any other Person resulting from such data, studies, reports or other information.

(c) No Attribution. Assignee shall not, in any securities filings or reports made by Assignee, attribute to Assignor or to the consulting engineers any reports or studies made available to Assignee, or the contents thereof.

(d) Confidentiality. All information furnished to Assignee and its designated representatives pursuant to this Section 6.04 is confidential and for the sole benefit of Assignee

and shall not be disclosed by Assignee or its designated representatives to any other Person, except to the extent that such information (i) is required in any report, statement or testimony submitted to any Governmental Authority having or claiming to have jurisdiction over Assignee or submitted to bank examiners or similar organizations or their successors, (ii) is required in response to any summons or subpoena or in connection with any litigation, (iii) is reasonably believed to be required in order to comply with any applicable Legal Requirement to Assignee, (iv) was publicly available or otherwise known to the recipient at the time of disclosure or (v) subsequently becomes publicly available other than through any act or omission of the recipient; provided, however, with respect to the disclosures with respect to items (i), (ii) and (iii) above, Assignee will notify Assignor prior to any such disclosure in order to provide Assignor an opportunity to seek to limit any such required disclosure. In connection with the marketing of the Trust’s assets upon termination of the Trust, Assignee and its designated representatives may, on a confidential basis in accordance with this Section 6.04(d), mutatis mutandis, provide any potential purchaser of such assets with the same information Assignee has access to pursuant to Section 6.04.

ARTICLE VII

NO LIABILITY OF ASSIGNEE

Assignee shall not be personally liable or responsible under this Conveyance for any cost, risk, liability or obligation associated in any way with the ownership or operation of the Subject Lands, the Subject Interests, the Development Xxxxx or the Subject Minerals. The foregoing sentence does not restrict the right of Assignor to deduct Chargeable Costs in calculating the volumes of Assignee Minerals or Assignee Proceeds.

ARTICLE VIII

OPERATIONS

Section 8.01 Standards of Conduct. Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Conveyance, Assignor shall (a) operate and maintain the Subject Interests and (b) make elections under each applicable lease, operating agreement, unit agreement, contract for development and other similar instrument or agreement (including elections concerning abandonment of any Development Well or release of any Subject Interest) in good faith and in accordance with the Reasonably Prudent Operator Standard. Where Assignor or one of its Affiliates does not operate the Subject Interests but Assignor has elected to participate as a non-operator in the drilling of a Development Well, Assignor shall use commercially reasonable efforts to exercise its contractual rights (under the applicable operating agreement or otherwise) to cause the operators of such Subject Interests to act in accordance with the Reasonably Prudent Operator Standard.

Section 8.02 Abandonment of Properties. Nothing in this Conveyance shall obligate Assignor to continue to operate any Development Well or to operate or maintain in force or attempt to maintain in force any Subject Interest when such Development Well ceases to produce, or Assignor determines, in accordance with Section 8.01 above, that such Development Well or Subject Interest is not capable of producing Minerals in paying quantities. The expiration of a Subject Interest in accordance with the terms and conditions applicable thereto shall not be considered to be a voluntary surrender or abandonment thereof.

ARTICLE IX

POOLING AND UNITIZATION

Section 9.01 Pooling of Subject Interests. Certain Subject Interests have been, or may have been, heretofore pooled and unitized for the production of Minerals. Such Subject Interests are and shall be subject to the terms and provisions of the applicable pooling and unitization agreements and orders, and the Royalty Interest in each pooled or unitized Subject Interest shall apply to and affect only the Minerals produced from such units that accrues to such Subject Interest under and by virtue of the applicable pooling and unitization agreements and orders.

Section 9.02 Pooling and Unitization.

(a) Right to Pool. Assignor has the exclusive executive right and power (as between Assignor and Assignee) to pool or unitize any Subject Interest and to alter, change, amend or terminate any pooling or unitization agreements heretofore or hereafter entered into, as to all or any part of the Subject Lands, as to any one or more of the formations or horizons, and as to any Minerals, upon such terms and provisions as Assignor shall in its sole discretion deem appropriate.

(b) Effect of Pooling. If and whenever through the exercise of such right and power, or pursuant to any Legal Requirement now existing or hereafter enacted or promulgated, any Subject Interest is pooled or unitized in any manner, the Royalty Interest, insofar as it affects such Subject Interest, shall apply to and affect only the Minerals production that accrues to such Subject Interest under and by virtue of the applicable pooling and unitization agreement or order. It shall not be necessary for Assignee to agree to, consent to, ratify, confirm or adopt any exercise of pooling or unitization of any Subject Interest by Assignor.

ARTICLE X

ARTICLE XI

ASSIGNMENT AND SALE OF SUBJECT INTERESTS

Section 11.01 Assignment by Assignor Subject to Royalty Interest.

(a) Right to Sell. Assignor may not Transfer any interest in the Development Xxxxx, the Subject Interests or any part thereof or any undivided interest therein in violation of Section 11.04. Subject to Section 11.02 and 11.04, Assignor may from time to time Transfer, mortgage or pledge its interest in the Development Xxxxx, the Subject Interests, or any part thereof or an undivided interest therein, if and only if (i) such Transfer, mortgage or pledge is made expressly subject to and burdened with the Royalty Interest and this Conveyance, (ii) solely in connection with a Transfer other than a Transfer pursuant to a foreclosure on any mortgage or security interest, Assignor has caused the assignee, purchaser, transferee or grantee of any such transaction to (A) acknowledge that the affected Subject Interests are taken subject to and burdened with the Royalty Interest and this Conveyance and (B) assume and agree to discharge Assignor’s obligations under this Conveyance with respect to such Subject Interests from and after the actual date of any such Transfer and (iii) in connection with any Transfer pursuant to a foreclosure on any mortgage or security interest, Assignor has used commercially reasonable efforts to cause the assignee, purchaser, transferee or grantee of any such transaction to (A) acknowledge that the affected Subject Interests are taken subject to and burdened with the Royalty Interest and this Conveyance and (B) assume and agree to discharge Assignor’s obligations under this Conveyance with respect to such Subject Interests from and after the actual date of any such Transfer. Any assumption and agreement to discharge shall be by appropriate written instrument for the express benefit of and enforceable by the Assignee. For avoidance of doubt, nothing in Section 11.01(a) is intended to permit any assignee, purchaser, transferee or grantee to acquire any interest in the Development Xxxxx, the Subject Interests or any part thereof or undivided interest therein without being subject to and burdened with the Royalty Interest and this Conveyance. Assignee shall not be required to recognize any purported Transfer, mortgage or pledge not made in conformance with this Section 11.01(a) and, notwithstanding any such purported Transfer, mortgage or pledge, Assignor shall remain obligated under this Conveyance just as if such Transfer, mortgage or pledge attempt had not been made and Assignee shall continue to deal with the Assignor to the exclusion of the purported transferee. Further, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any purported Transfer not made in conformance with this Section 11.01(a) shall be void and of no effect.

(b) Effect of Sale. From and after the actual date of any such Transfer by Assignor made in full compliance with Section 11.01(a) (and only upon such full compliance), Assignor shall be relieved of all obligations, requirements and responsibilities arising under this Conveyance with respect to the Subject Interests Transferred, as the same pertain to Assignee Minerals produced from and after (but not prior to) said date of such Transfer.

(c) Allocation of Consideration. Assignee is not entitled to receive any share of the sales proceeds received by Assignor in any transaction permitted by this Section 11.01.

(d) Separate Interest. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in Article IV, effective on the effective date of any Transfer of any Subject Interest made in full

compliance with Section 11.01(a), Assignee Minerals and Assignee Proceeds shall thereafter be computed separately with respect to such Subject Interests, and the assignee, buyer, transferee or grantee of such Subject Interests shall thereafter serve as Assignee’s agent and representative under Article IV with respect to such interests and shall pay all corresponding Assignee Proceeds directly to Assignee.

Section 11.02 Sale and Release of Properties.

(a) Transfer. Subject to Section 11.04, Assignor may from time to time, Transfer the Development Xxxxx, the Subject Interests, or any part thereof or undivided interest therein, free of the Royalty Interest and this Conveyance provided that the aggregate Fair Value of all Royalty Interests conveyed under (i) this Conveyance and/or (ii) any other Assignor Conveyance, which is released during any twelve (12) month period, shall not exceed $5,000,000 in the aggregate.

(b) Payments. In connection with any Transfer pursuant to this Section 11.02, Assignor shall remit to Assignee an amount equal to the Fair Value of the Royalty Interest being released. Assignor shall make such payment to Assignee on the Payment Date for the Computation Period in which Assignor receives the payment with respect to any such Transfer of the Subject Interest.

(c) Release. In connection with any Transfer provided for in Section 11.02(a), Assignee shall, on request, execute, acknowledge and deliver to Assignor a recordable instrument (reasonably acceptable to Assignor) that releases the Royalty Interest with respect to the Development Well and the related Subject Interests and Subject Lands being Transferred.

(d) Effect of Sale. From and after the actual date of any such Transfer by Assignor, Assignor and any assignee, purchaser, transferee or grantee of such Subject Interest shall be relieved of all obligations, requirements and responsibilities arising under the Royalty Interest or this Conveyance with respect to the Development Well or Subject Interests Transferred, except for those that accrued prior to such date.

Section 11.03 Farmouts.

(a) Farmout. Assignor may from time to time enter into Farmout Agreements farming out to Third Persons Assignor’s interest in the Subject Interests. In the event that Assignor enters into any such Farmout Agreement with a Third Person, (i) the Royalty Interest and this Conveyance shall only burden Assignor’s retained interest in the Subject Interest after giving effect to any interest in the Subject Interest that a counterparty to the Farmout Agreement may earn under such Farmout Agreement and (ii) only the Assignor’s retained interest in the Subject Interest will count towards Assignor’s obligation to drill Development Xxxxx under the Development Agreement.

(b) Release. In connection with Assignor entering into any Farmout Agreement as a farmor, Assignee shall, upon request of Assignor, execute, acknowledge and deliver to Assignor a recordable instrument (reasonably acceptable to Assignor) that releases the Royalty Interest and this Conveyance with respect to the Subject Interests being transferred

pursuant to such Farmout Agreement; provided, the Royalty Interest shall still burden the Subject Interest retained by Assignor.

Section 11.04 Transfer of Subject Interests. Assignor will not Transfer any Development Well or any of the Subject Interests pursuant to Sections 11.01 and 11.02 prior to the Drilling Obligation Completion Date, and in the event of any attempted Transfer in violation of this Section 11.04, Assignor shall remain liable and a party hereto, just as if no Transfer attempt had been made, and Assignee shall continue to deal with Assignor to the exclusion of the purported transferee. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 11.04 shall restrict Assignor’s ability to Transfer Subject Interests pursuant to the terms of the Development Agreement. Further, to the extent permitted by applicable law, such attempted Transfer in violation of this Section 11.04 shall be void and of no force or effect. Assignor expressly states and recognizes that the restrictions on transfer imposed on Assignor in this Section 11.04 and in Section 11.01(a) are made in reasonable protection of an interest of the Assignee created hereunder.

Section 11.05 Change in Ownership.

(a) Obligation to Give Notice. No change of ownership or of the right to receive payment of the Royalty Interest, or of any part thereof, by Assignee, however accomplished, shall bind Assignor until notice thereof is furnished to Assignor by the Person making the transfer and the Person claiming the benefit thereof, and then only with respect to payments made after such Notice is furnished.

(b) Notice of Sale. Notice of sale, transfer, conveyance or assignment shall consist of a certified copy of the recorded instrument accomplishing the same.

(c) Notice of Other Changes of Ownership. Notice of change of ownership or of the right to receive payment accomplished in any other manner (e.g., by dissolution of Assignee) shall consist of certified copies of recorded documents and complete proceedings legally binding and conclusive of the rights of all Persons.

(d) Effect of Lack of Notice. Until such Notice accompanied by such documentation is furnished to Assignor in the manner provided above, Assignor may, at Assignor’s election, either (i) continue to pay or tender all sums payable on the Royalty Interest in the same manner provided in this Conveyance, precisely as if no such change in interest or ownership or right to receive payment had occurred or (ii) suspend payment of Assignee Proceeds without interest until such documentation is furnished.

(e) Effect of Nonconforming Notices. The kinds of Notice provided by this Section 11.05 shall be exclusive, and no other kind, whether actual or constructive, shall bind Assignor.

Section 11.06 One Payee. Assignor shall never be obligated to pay Assignee Proceeds to more than one Person. If more than one Person is ever entitled to receive payment of any part of Assignee Proceeds, Assignor may suspend payments of all Assignee Proceeds until the concurrent owners or claimants of the Royalty Interest or the right to receive payment of Assignee Proceeds appoint one Person in writing to receive all payments of Assignee Proceeds

on their behalf. Assignor may thereafter conclusively rely upon the authority of that Person to receive payments of Assignee Proceeds and shall be under no further duty to inquire into the authority or performance of such Person.

Section 11.07 Rights of Mortgagee. If Assignee executes a mortgage or deed of trust covering all or part of the Royalty Interest, the mortgagees or trustees therein named or the holders of any obligation secured thereby shall be entitled, to the extent that such mortgage or deed of trust so provides, to exercise the rights, remedies, powers and privileges conferred upon Assignee by this Conveyance and to give or withhold all consents required to be obtained from Assignee. This Section 11.07 shall not be deemed or construed to impose upon Assignor any obligation or liability undertaken by Assignee under such mortgage or deed of trust or under the obligation secured thereby.

Section 11.08 No Drainage. Assignor covenants and agrees that, prior to the Termination Date, neither Assignor nor any of its Affiliates shall drill any Mineral well that will have a perforated segment in the Target Formation that will be within six hundred (600) feet of any perforated interval in the Target Formation of any Development Well that is producing Minerals from the Target Formation.

ARTICLE XII

FORCE MAJEURE

Section 12.01 Nonperformance. Assignor shall not be responsible to Assignee for any loss or damage to Assignee resulting from any delay in performing or failure to perform any obligation under this Conveyance (other than Assignor’s obligation to make payments of Assignee Proceeds to Assignee) to the extent such failure or delay is caused by Force Majeure.

Section 12.02 Force Majeure. “Force Majeure” means any of the following, to the extent they delay or prevent performance of Assignor’s obligations under this Conveyance (other than Assignor’s obligation to make payments of Assignee Proceeds to Assignee) and are not caused by the breach by Assignor of its duty to perform certain obligations under this Conveyance in accordance with the Reasonably Prudent Operator Standard:

(a) act of God, fire, lightning, landslide, earthquake, storm, hurricane, hurricane warning, flood, high water, washout, tidal wave or explosion;

(b) strike, lockout, or other similar industrial disturbance, act of the public enemy, war, military operation, blockade, insurrection, riot, epidemic, arrest or restraint of Governmental Authority or people, or national emergency;

(d) any breakage of or accident to machinery, equipment or lines of pipe, the repair, maintenance, improvement, replacement, alteration to a plant or line of pipe or related facility, the testing of machinery, equipment or line of pipe, or the freezing of a line of pipe;
