The assignment of Overriding Royalty made herein is subject to the following terms, conditions and provisions:

 

  1. For the purposes of calculating royalty payments, expenses and deductions, the Overriding Royalty shall be subject to the exact terms, conditions and provisions as those found in the Leases, on a lease by lease basis. In other words, should the underlying or referenced lease provide for cost free royalty then the Overriding Royalty shall also be free and clear of all cost and expenses of exploration, production, transportation and marketing, but shall bear its proportionate share of all gross production, severance, ad valorem and similar taxes. However, should the underlying referenced lease, on a lease by lease basis, be subject to deductions for transportation, dehydration and marketing then the Overriding Royalty shall also be subject to the same deductions and proportionate share of all gross production, severance, ad valorem and similar taxes.

 

  2. If any of the Leases cover less than the full (100% of 8/8ths) interest in oil, gas and other minerals in all or any part of the lands and depths described therein, the Overriding Royalty shall be proportionately reduced and paid to Assignee in the proportion that the interest covered by said Lease bears to the entire mineral estate;

 

  3. Assignor may, without the joinder of Assignee, pool and combine Assignee’s Overriding Royalty with other leases and lands in compliance with terms and conditions of the Leases.

 

  4. The Overriding Royalty shall attach to any extension or renewals of the Leases and shall be calculated and paid in the same manner as the original reservation set forth herein. Any lease acquired by Assignor, or its successors or assigns, within one (1) year of the termination of the Leases shall be deemed an extension or renewal lease for the purposes of this provision insofar as the renewal or extension lease covers acreage transferred hereunder.

TO HAVE AND TO HOLD the above described overriding royalty, together with all and singular the rights and appurtenances thereunto in anywise belonging unto Assignee, its successors and assigns forever; and Assignor does by these presents bind itself and its successors and assigns to warrant and forever defend all and singular, the Leases unto Assignee, its successors and assigns, against every person whomsoever lawfully claiming or to claim the same or any part thereof by, through or under Assignor, but not otherwise.
