EXHIBIT "C"
ASSIGNMENT OF OIL AND GAS LEASES
This ASSIGNMENT is made this 19th day of June, 1996, by and between
SHIELD PETROLEUM INCORPORATED, whose mailing address is 0000 Xxxx, Xxxxxxx
Xxxxxxx, Xxxxx 00000 ("Assignor"), and HUGOTON ENERGY CORPORATION, whose
mailing address is 000 X. Xxxx, Xxxxx 0000, Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxx 00000 ("Assignee").
1. Assignment. For adequate consideration, the receipt and sufficiency
of which are hereby acknowledged, Assignor does hereby assign and convey to
Assignee, an undivided 50% interest in the oil and gas leases described in
Exhibit "A" (the "Leases"), attached hereto and made a part of this Assignment.
TO HAVE AND TO HOLD the interest assigned in the Leases unto
Assignee, its successors and assigns forever, subject to the following terms
and conditions.
2. Reservations and Exceptions: Assignor reserves from the interest
conveyed to Assignee, and excepts from this Assignment and the warranty
provided below, the following:
a. Definitions:
(i) "Carried Interest" means an ownership interest in the Leases
which does not bear any part of the Well Costs of a particular
well.
(ii) "Initial Unit Well" means the first horizontal or vertical
well drilled upon a Unit after the Effective Date under this
Agreement completed successfully for commercial production in
the Austin Chalk or a deeper formation, or plugged and
abandoned as a dry hole, but shall not mean any subsequent
operation upon such Unit under the terms of the Operating
Agreement.
(iii) "Operating Agreement" means the operating agreement governing
joint operations for all Units to be drilled on the lands
covered by the Leases, a notice of which is executed on this
date by the Parties and is or shall be recorded in the
Parishes in which the Leases are located.
(iv) "Payout" shall be on a well-by-well basis with respect to each
Unit which includes all or a portion of any of the Leases.
Payout shall occur on the first day of the month following
the date on which the gross proceeds of production actually
received by Operator from the Unit, less (i) applicable
production taxes or severance taxes; (ii) all royalties,
overriding royalties, and other payments out of production
which as of the date of this Assignment burden the Leases
included in the Unit, (iii) any overriding royalty reserved by
Assignor under this Assignment; (iv) the purchase price paid
by Assignee for that portion of the Leases included in the
Unit, (v) all Carried Interests borne by Assignee under the
terms of this Agreement attributable to said Unit; and (vi)
operating costs incurred in connection with operations of the
initial unit well as provided under the unit operating
agreement during the time to reach payout, shall equal the
Well Costs incurred by Operator in the first well completed
for production on said Unit. If prior to completion of the
first well on a Unit for production, a prior well is
commenced, but is not completed for production,
Assignment of Oil and Gas Leases - Page 1
32
but is plugged and abandoned, then the costs of such a well
shall be included in the amounts to be recovered for payout to
occur. It is the intent of the parties hereto that only the
costs, as set out above, incurred in connection with the
initial well drilled on a Unit shall be used in the
calculation of payout of awell. No such costs incurred in any
subsequent operations, begun after completion of the Initial
Unit Well as a commercial producer of oil or gas, including
but not limited to costs for the drilling of additional xxxxx
within the Unit, reworking or redrilling of the Initial Unit
Well, or drilling of additional horizontal laterals within
said well, whether undertaken prior to or subsequent to the
payout of a well, shall be counted in the calculation of the
payout of a well.
(v) "Unit" means acreage comprised in whole or in part of the lands
covered by the Leases and (i) pooled according to the terms of
said leases for the drilling of an oil or gas well under this
Agreement, as such pooled acreage is identified by an
instrument filed in the real property records of the Parish
where the lands covered by said leases are situated, as such
instrument may be reformed or (ii) refiled prior to the time of
first production sales; or in the absence of such pooling
designation, the area prescribed or permitted by order or rule
of the Louisiana Office of Conservation.
(vi) "Well Costs" means out-of-pocket costs of preparing to drill
after leases are acquired, title costs, location costs and
costs of drilling, completing, testing, equipping and pipeline
installation and construction costs and all other costs borne
and incurred by the Operator under the terms of the Operating
Agreement in connection with the drilling and completion of a
well, as all such costs and charges are determined in
accordance with the XXXXX Accounting Procedures attached to
the Operating Agreement, up until the time of first sales from
the well for which such costs are calculated, unless such
sales occur prior to the completion of the well, and in the
latter event such costs shall be calculated up until the time
of final completion of the well and connection of the wellhead
to the gathering pipeline system of a third party oil and/or
gas purchaser.
b. Carried Working Interest. Assignor reserves an undivided 3.75%
Carried Interest in the lands covered by the Leases included in each
Unit upon which an Initial Unit Well is drilled. Hugoton shall bear
and pay for the account of Shield, on a well-by-well basis, all of
the costs attributable to said 3.75% Carried Interest which are
incurred by the operator under the Operating Agreement in drilling,
testing, completing, and initially equipping and operating of such
Initial Unit Well through the point of being completed for
production or plugged and abandoned on each Unit, proportionally
reduced to the extent that the Leases comprise only a portion of the
Unit.
c. Back-in Interest After Payout. Assignor reserves, after the Payout
of each Initial Unit Well drilled and completed upon the Leases or
any portion thereof, an undivided 3.75% interest (the "After Payout
Interest") in the Leases and lands included within the Unit for each
such Initial Unit Well, proportionately reduced to the extent that
the Leases comprise only a portion of such unit. It is the intent of
the Parties hereto that the above stated After Payout Interest of
Assignor in the Leases shall automatically revert to and vest in
Assignor upon the Payout of each Initial Unit Well without the
necessity of the execution of an assignment from Assignee to
Assignor. The foregoing After Payout Interest of Assignor shall
only apply to xxxxx defined in this Assignment as "Initial Unit
Xxxxx," and operations upon such xxxxx. Assignor hereby reserves an
undivided 3.75% interest in the Leases included in any Unit as to
any operation upon lands covered by the Leases which do not
constitute Initial Unit Well operations, and Shield shall further be
currently
Assignment of Oil and Gas Leases - Page 2
33
vested with said "After Payout Interest" as to any subsequent
operation, under the provisions of Article VI.B. of the Operating
Agreement, upon the lands covered by any Unit, including a
subsequent operation upon an existing Initial Unit Well, after the
drilling of the Initial Unit Well.
d. Overriding Royalty Reservation. Assignor has previously assigned to
certain third parties an overriding royalty interest in the oil,
gas, and other minerals produced and saved from the lands covered by
the Leases, equal to the following:
(i) As to any of the Leases which provide for a net revenue
interest to the Lessee of 78% or greater, an overriding
royalty interest equal to 3% of 8/8 of the oil, gas and, if
applicable, other minerals produced and saved from the lands
covered by each of such Leases; and
(ii) As to any of the Leases which provide for a net revenue
interest to the Lessee of less than 78%, an overriding royalty
interest equal to the difference, if any, between 25% and the
lease royalty burden as set forth in the lease.
(iii) It is Assignor's intent to assign to Assignee in this
Assignment at least a 75% net revenue interest in the Leases.
Said assignments have or will be recorded in the Parishes where the
lands covered by the Leases are located, and Assignor excepts from
this conveyance said overriding royalty interest.
3. Unrecorded Agreements. This Assignment is subject to the terms and
conditions of the following unrecorded agreements between Assignor and
Assignee:
a. Purchase and Sale Agreement. Purchase and Sale Agreement between
Assignor and Assignee dated June 18, 1996 (the "Purchase and Sale
