|
OVERRIDING
ROYALTY
|
(a)
|
Quantification
Of Overriding Royalty
|
The
Grantor hereby grants to the Owner a non-convertible absolutely gross overriding
royalty, which shall comprise an interest in the Petroleum Substances within,
upon and under the Lands. The gross volume of Petroleum Substances comprising
the Overriding Royalty shall be quantified as follows:
(i)
|
for
Crude Oil:
fifty percent (50%) of the gross monthly production of Crude Oil
produced
from each well on the Lands classified by the appropriate regulatory
authority as an oil well (excluding basic sediment and water);
and
|
(ii)
|
for
Natural Gas:
fifty percent (50%) of the gross monthly production of Natural Gas
produced from each well on the Lands classified by the appropriate
regulatory authority as a gas well;
and
|
(iii)
|
for
all other Petroleum Substances:
fifty percent (50%) of the gross monthly production thereof produced
from
each well on the Lands.
|
For
the
purpose of determining the Overriding Royalty payable to the Owner, the
percentages in paragraphs (a), (b) and (c) of this clause, as the case may
be,
shall be multiplied by the percentage working interest in the Petroleum
Substances held by the Grantor immediately before this Agreement came into
effect.
The
Grantor hereby charges its interest in the Lands and the Leases with payment
of
the Overriding Royalty which shall be a covenant running with and binding the
Grantor’s interest in the Lands and the Leases.
(b)
|
Petroleum
Substances Used For Operations
|
Petroleum
Substances that the Grantor may reasonably consider to be necessary for the
Grantor's operations on the Lands for the production, treating, processing
and
storing of Petroleum Substances shall be exempt from the payment of the
Overriding Royalty. Any Overriding Royalty exemption as aforesaid shall be
restricted to that portion of production used as fuel for heaters, treaters,
compressors, separators, instruments and similar equipment required to produce
Petroleum Substances. The Petroleum Substances so used may be deducted from
gross monthly production by the Grantor in quantifying the Overriding Royalty
payable to the Owner under the preceding subclause. The Grantor shall not be
granted any Overriding Royalty exemption from the production of Petroleum
Substances used for reservoir injection or pressure maintenance, secondary
and
heavy oil recovery or upgrading schemes, or fuel and/or feedstock for any gas
plant, refinery, satellite or multi-well battery.
-3-
(c)
|
Separate
Quantification For Crude Oil
|
If
the
Grantor completes any well on the Lands in more than one zone producing Crude
Oil and production therefrom is segregated and accounted for separately in
accordance with the appropriate regulations, the Overriding Royalty shall be
quantified separately for each producing zone rather than for the total
production from such well, less only those charges permitted
herein.
4.
|
OVERRIDING
ROYALTY NOT TAKEN IN KIND
|
(a)
|
Payments
Made to Owner Monthly
|
When
and
to the extent that the Owner is not taking its share of Petroleum Substances
in
kind, every sale of Petroleum Substances produced from the Lands by the Grantor
shall include the Owner's Overriding Royalty share thereof. The Grantor shall
remit to the Owner all monies accruing to the Owner on account of the Overriding
Royalty on or before the twenty-fifth (25th) working day following the calendar
month next following the calendar month in which such Petroleum Substances
were
sold.
(b)
|
Monthly
Statements Provided to Owner
|
The
Grantor shall enclose with each monthly payment to the Owner the following
information:
(i)
|
a
statement showing the quantity and kind of the Petroleum Substances
produced, saved and sold from the Lands in the immediately preceding
calendar month and the Current Market Value thereof, together with
a
calculation of the Overriding Royalty for such immediately preceding
calendar month; and
|
(ii)
|
if
requested, a copy of the Grantor's governmental production statement
for
the month for which the Overriding Royalty is calculated and, with
respect
to Crown leases, a copy of the Crown royalty statement. Any information
contained in such governmental production statement or Crown royalty
statement need not be repeated in the Grantor's statement to the
Owner.
|
(c)
|
Permitted
Deductions
|
To
the
extent that the Owner does not take its Overriding Royalty share of Petroleum
Substances in kind, as hereinafter provided, the Overriding Royalty shall be
paid on the Current Market Value of the Petroleum Substances without any
deductions whatsoever.
(d)
|
Petroleum
Substances Sold at Less Than Current Market
Value
|
If
any
Petroleum Substances are sold at less than Current Market Value in any
transactions (including those transactions which are not at arm's length or
any
transactions involving any arrangement from which the Grantor obtains a
collateral advantage in consideration of the reduced price), the gross proceeds
of the sale of such Petroleum Substances shall, for the purposes of calculating
the Overriding Royalty share thereof, not be less than the Current Market Value
of those Petroleum Substances when produced from the Lands.

|
OVERRIDING
ROYALTY TAKEN IN KIND
|
(a)
|
Notice
to Grantor
|
The
Owner
shall have the right to take in kind the Owner's share of Petroleum Substances.
Such right may be exercised separately with respect to Crude Oil, Raw Gas,
individual Natural Gas liquids, Condensate, marketable gas or any other
individual Petroleum Substance. In the case of Crude Oil and Condensate, such
right shall only be exercised on a minimum of forty-five (45) days notice to
the
Grantor. In the case of all other Petroleum Substances such right shall only
be
exercised on two (2) months notice to the Grantor. If the Owner, however,
signifies in writing its consent to the sale of any of the Owner's share of
Petroleum Substances under a contract made by the Grantor providing for a
minimum term in excess of the said respective notice periods, the Owner's right
to take in kind any Petroleum Substances subject to such contract shall be
suspended during the term of such contract. The Owner may cease to take in
kind
any Petroleum Substances upon giving the Grantor the same minimum notice as
required in order to permit the Owner to take such Petroleum Substances in
kind
as aforesaid. The right to take in kind or to cease to take in kind may be
exercised from time to time subject only to the foregoing provisions of this
subclause.
(b)
|
Grantor's
Responsibilities
|
When
the
Owner is taking in kind any of the Owner's share of Petroleum Substances other
than Raw Gas, the Grantor shall in respect to Crude Oil and at no cost to the
Owner, remove basic sediment and water therefrom in accordance with good
oilfield practice so that pipeline specifications in that regard will be met,
and the Owner shall also have the right to use free of charge a proportionate
share of the Grantor's lease tankage and storage facilities to store a maximum
of ten (10) days accumulation of the Owner's share of such Petroleum Substances.
In respect to Crude Oil and Condensate the Grantor shall deliver the same to
the
Owner, or its nominee, at the tank outlets in accordance with usual and
customary pipeline and shipping practice, free and clear of all charges
whatsoever. Grantor shall deliver Owner's share of Raw Gas to the Owner or
its
nominee at the Point of Measurement. In any event, the Owner shall not be
responsible for any
costs
whatsoever, including without limitation the costs of gathering, compressing,
transporting, treating and processing such Raw Gas whether or not the Grantor
or
an Affiliate owns such facilities.
6.
|
RIGHT
TO AUDIT
|
(a)
|
Examination
Of Records
|
The
Owner
shall have the right to audit the records of the Grantor insofar as they relate
to any matter or items required to determine the accuracy of any statements
or
payments with respect to the Overriding Royalty. The books, records, vouchers
and accounts maintained by the Grantor shall be open to inspection at all
reasonable times during business hours by an officer, agent, employee or other
person appointed or authorized by the Owner, in writing, to examine the
same.
-5-
(b)
|
Discrepancies
|
Any
payment made or statement rendered by the Grantor hereunder which is not
disputed by the Owner on or before the last day of the twenty-sixth (26th)
month
following the end of the calendar year of the month for which such statement
or
payment was rendered shall be deemed to have been correct.
(c)
|
Right
To View Operations
|
The
Owner
shall also have the right (which may be exercised through servants or agents)
to
enter at its sole cost, risk and expense upon the Lands at all reasonable times
to gauge tanks, check the quantities of Petroleum Substances in storage, witness
tests and otherwise view operations on the Lands.
7.
|
RATEABLE
PRODUCTION
|
The
Grantor shall, subject to the clause entitled "Overriding Royalty Taken In
Kind", make every reasonable endeavour within its legal authority to market
any
of the Petroleum Substances produced or capable of being produced from the
Lands
rateably with any other similar substances produced from any lands within the
same pool in which the Grantor or any Affiliate has an interest and further
the
Grantor covenants that it will not discriminate against the Petroleum Substances
produced or capable of being produced from the Lands in the production and
marketing of the same.
8.
|
RIGHT
TO COMMINGLE
|
The
Grantor shall have the right to commingle Petroleum Substances produced from
the
Lands with Petroleum Substances produced from other lands, provided methods
acceptable to the Owner are used to determine the proper measurement of
individual well production. Where governmental regulations or orders require
segregated production tests of individual xxxxx at intervals not greater than
two months, such tests will be deemed acceptable to the Owner under this clause
and no further tests will be required.
9.
|
POOLING
|
The
Grantor shall have the right to pool any portion of the Lands forming less
than
a spacing unit for the production of Petroleum Substances with lands other
than
the Lands in order to form a complete spacing unit for the production of
Petroleum Substances. Unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the Owner or
ordered by governmental authority, such pooling will be on a surface acreage
basis; that is, the production of Petroleum Substances from the well on the
pooled lands comprising the spacing unit shall be divided between the Lands
and
the other lands in such spacing unit in the proportion that the number of acres
of the Lands in such spacing unit is to the number of acres of the other lands
in such spacing unit.
-6-
10.
|
UNITIZATION
|
The
Grantor shall not include the Lands or any part thereof in any voluntary plan
of
unitization comprising more than one spacing unit without the written consent
of
the Owner. The execution by the Owner of the applicable unit agreement shall
be
deemed to be consent to such unitization under this clause.
11.
|
SURRENDER
|
(a)
|
Grantor
to Keep Leases in Good Standing

of
such proposed surrender in writing (hereinafter called "the Surrender Notice")
to the Owner at least sixty (60) days before the next ensuing anniversary date

the Owner. The Overriding Royalty shall thereafter cease to be payable with
respect to the interest so assigned to the Owner. If the Owner fails to make
the
election as provided for herein, the Grantor may surrender the lands specified
in the Surrender Notice.
(c)
|
Surrender
Subject To Forfeiture
|
If
the
Grantor proposes to surrender any portion of the Lands to avoid an obligation
to
drill a well, the provision for notice and assignment in the preceding subclause
shall apply, mutatis mutandis, provided that the assignment, if requested by
the
Owner, shall be of the entire interest which is subject to forfeiture by reason
of the failure to drill such well and the surrender notice shall be given not
less than sixty (60) days before the well must be commenced to meet the
obligation.
(d)
|
Owner
to Assume Rights and
Obligations
|
Upon
the
Owner electing to acquire the interest to be surrendered as set forth herein,

to
make the Assignee responsible for any obligation or liability which has arisen
or accrued prior to the Transfer Date (as defined in the Assignment
Procedure).
(b)
|
Nomination
Of Assignee
|
If
the
Owner transfers, assigns or otherwise disposes of any part of its interest
hereunder to more than one party, it shall ensure that one of the parties to
whom such disposition is made shall be nominated to receive the payment of

such nomination is received by the Grantor, the Grantor shall be entitled to
continue to make payments of the Overriding Royalty to the Owner.
(c)
|
Assignment
by Grantor
|
If
the
Grantor disposes, in any manner whatsoever, of its interest in this Agreement,
the Lands, the Leases or any portion or portions thereof, it shall at all times
continue to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement as if there had been
no
assignment, until such time as the Owner shall have been served with a document
reflecting the assignment. Such assignment document shall be accompanied by
a
written undertaking by the Assignee, directly enforceable by the Owner, to
perform and be bound thereafter by all of the provisions of this Agreement
to
the same extent and degree, with respect to the interest which has been assigned
to it, as it would have been had it been a party to this Agreement in the place
