restoring production or from producing said substances by $re, brad, storm, act of God, or any cause beyond Lessee s control
(including but not limircd to goverfun -ntal lav:, order or regulation, labor disputes, war, in2Siliry to sccurc m.n, materials or
tr..nspoctation, inability to secure a market for gas, or an adverse claim to Lessor's title when Lessor has been norined pursuant
to paragraph 14 hereof), then the performance of any such operations or the production of said substances shall be suspended
during the period of such prevention or hindrance. If such suspension .occurs during the primary tern^.., the payment of delay
rental during such suspension shall be excused and the primary term shall be extended for a period of time equal to the period
of such suspension and this lease shall remain in full force and effc<c during such period of suspension and any such extension
of the primary term. Lessee may commence or resume the payment or tender of rentals in accordance with paragraph 4 hereof
after the period of suspension by paying or tendering within 60 days after the period of suspension the proportionate part
of the rental for the rental year remaining after such period of suspension. If such suspension occurs after the primary term,
this lease shall remain in full force and effect during such suspension and for a reasonable time thereafter provided that within
sack time following the period of suspension Lessee diligendy commences or resumes operations or the production of said
substances. Lessee's obligation to pay royalty on actin] production shall never be suspended under this paragraph. Whenever
Lessee would otherwise be required to surrender any of said land as an alternative to the performance so suspended, then
so long as such performance is supended by this paragraph Lessee shall not be required to surrender any portion of said land.
If the permission or approval of any governmental agency is necessary before drilling operations may be commenced in
said land, then if such permission or approval has been applied for ac least 30 days prior to the dace upon which such opera -
eons must be commenced under the terms hereof, the obligation to commence such operations shall be suspended until thirty
(30) days after the governmental permit is granted or approval given, or it Such permit or approval is denied initially, then
so long as Lessee in good faith appeals from such denial or conducts further proceedings -in an attempt to secure such permit
or approval and thirty days thereafter.
12. For the consideration paid at the time of execution of this agreement and wirtoue any additional consideration to
be paid therefor, except as provided below, Lessor hereby grants to Lessee, its successors and assigns, the sole and exclusive
righr, right of way and easement to drill into and through said land by means of a well or wells drilled from the surface of
lands other than said land, and the sole and exclusive right to abandon or repair, redrill, deepen, maintain, rework and oper-
ate such well or wells for the production of said substances from or the injection of gas, water, air or other substances into
lands ocher than said land. The rights granted in this paragraph shall continue for, and may be exercised at any time or from
time to time within, ten (10) years from the date hereof and thereafter as long as Lessee in good faith shall conduct drilling
operations under the provisions of this lease or this paragraph, or said substances are produced from wells drilled pursuant
to this lease or this paragraph, or wells drilled pursuant to this paragraph are used for injection as aforesaid, or the perform-
ance of any such operations is suspended or deferred for the reasons or causes sec forth in paragraph I1 hereof. If Lessee
exercises the rights granted in this paragraph and thereafter .completes• a well capable of being used for injection or of
producing said substances in quantities deemed paying quantities by Lessee, then Lessee shall within sixty (60) days after
such completion pay Lessor an annual rental computed at the rate of one dollar ($1) per yard of horizontal projection of the
survey course of that part of the borehole of such well traversing said land; provided, however, that Lessor shall nor be entitled
to receive any rental under the provisions of this paragraph during such times as Lessor is entitled to receive royalty or rentals
under other provisions of this lease Any such renrals Shall continue until such well is abandoned. Any well drilled under the
provisions of this paragraph shall be drilled so that the production or injection interval thereof shall lic wholly outside the
boundary of said land and Lessor recognizes and agrees that Lessor has no interest in any such well or wells drilled pursuant
to this paragraph or any production therefrom. If Lessee shall assign to any third party or parties rights granted to Lessee
under this paragraph, the rights of Lessee shall nor thereby be diminished, but in such event both Lessee and its assignee shall
have, hold and enjoy said rights, each independently of the ocher.
Any surrender or termination under any ocher provision of this lease sb2II be effective notwithstanding the fact that
Lessee in and by such surrender or termination reserves the rights granted to Lessee under this paragraph, and regardless of
surrender or termination, the rights granted under this paragraph shall continue for the hercinabove scared term. -

further consent, pool, consolidate or unitize this lease and said land in whole or in part or as to any zone, with other lands,
mineral interests, and leases in the vicinity thereof so as to constitute a unit or units whenever such action in Lesste's judgment

�o exclude acreage believed to be unproductive or which is not committed to the unit, bur any increase or decrease in Lessor's

changed, and in the absence of production therefrom may be abolished and dissolved, by filing for record an instrument so
declaring, a copy of which shall be delivered to Lessor or to the depositary bank. Drilling or ocher operations (as dc5ned in
paragraph S hereof) in, or production of any one of said subsnnces from, any part of such unit shall be treated and considered
for all purposes of this lease as such operauo i in or such production from said land. Lessee shall allocate to the portion of said
land included in any such unit a fractional put of 211 production from anypare of such unix on the same basis as is provided
in the agrce.•nenc between Lessec and others whereby such unit is established or, in the absence of such an agreement or of a
method -of allocation thrrcin. I-cssce shall elect one of the following hues: (a) The ratio between the acreage of the portion
of this lease included in such unit and the total of 211 acreage included in such unit; or (b) The ratio between the value, as
estimated by Lessee, of recoverable production within the portion of this lease included in such unit and the total value, as
estimated by Lessee, of all recoverable production within such unit Lessee may change from one of the aforesaid bases to the
other at any time or times within 21 years from the date hereof without Lessor's further joinder or consent but any increase
or decrease in Lessor's royalty resulting from any such change $hall not be retroactive. No offset obligation shall accrue under
this lease as a result of any well drilled within any such unit.
