(a)       With regard to the Interests, Manager may participate in operations which are (i) conceived and commenced after the Effective Time, and (ii) the primary objective of which is to increase production from a well located upon the lands comprising the Interests, such as workovers and recompletions. Manager may participate for up to 15% of Owner’s interest by paying in advance its share of the cost of such operation which shall entitle Manager to receive 15% of the incremental production realized from the subject operation that is in excess of the Baseline Average. For purposes of this Section 8(a), the term “Baseline Average” shall mean the simple average of monthly volumetric production for the most recent 24 calendar month period, during which period continuous production was had from the subject well, preceding the date on which the AFE is issued for the subject operation. To the extent Manager desires so to participate, Manager shall notify Owner in writing simultaneous with tender of the applicable AFE from Manager to Owner. Manager’s entitlement to incremental production from a given operation shall terminate upon the return of production to a volume less than the Baseline Average for a period of three consecutive calendar months. Manager shall have no right to receive a conveyance of a leasehold or other property interest in the relevant Interests as a result of its participation in an operation pursuant to this Section 8(a). With regard to any such incremental production, Manager shall be responsible for bearing its share of Costs attributable to such production and for paying all royalties and other burdens on production.

(b)       With regard to the drilling of new wells upon the lands comprising the Interests, Manager may participate for up to 15% of Owner’s interest (proportionately reduced). Manager shall pay for its share of the costs of drilling, completing, deepening, sidetracking, and plugging and abandonment in accordance with AFEs and/or joint interest billings relating thereto. In the event of the successful drilling of a new well, Manager shall receive from Owner a wellbore-only assignment of its 15% share of Owner’s interest in such well pursuant to a mutually acceptable form of assignment; provided, however, that such interest shall be conveyed without warranty of title and on an “as is, where is” basis, and such conveyance shall be subject to any preferential rights to purchase and consents to assignment, whether of record or not, and Manager shall bear its proportionate share of all obligations and liabilities associated with any such interest. Manager shall not have the right to participate in any future acquisition by Owner from third parties of oil and gas leasehold or mineral interests by virtue of this Agreement.

(c)       In the event any of the Interests so acquired by Manager pursuant to Section 8(b) hereof is not subject to an operating agreement, Owner and Manager shall enter a mutually acceptable operating agreement based upon AAPL Form 610 Model Form Operating Agreement – 1989.

(d)       Manager’s rights and title to any interests acquired during the term of this Agreement pursuant to paragraphs 8(a) or 8(b), above, shall be unaffected by any subsequent termination of this Agreement.

If, prior to the Termination Date, Manager shall fail to perform or observe any of the covenants, agreements or obligations herein provided to be performed or observed by Manager, Owner, in addition to Owner’s right to recover damages and all other remedies available to Owner hereunder or at law or in equity, may, if such failure shall continue unremedied after ten (10) days from delivery to Manager of written notice thereof (unless within such ten (10) days, Manager has begun to cure such noncompliance in a manner satisfactory to Owner and Manager continues to diligently pursue such curative actions until such failure is remedied to the satisfaction of Owner), perform or cause to be performed such act at Manager's expense, in which event Owner may expend funds for such purpose. To secure the obligations owed by Manager to Owner pursuant to this Agreement, Manager hereby grants, bargains, sells and assigns to Owner a first and prior lien and security interest upon the oil and gas production attributable to the Interests, the proceeds from the sale of oil and gas, and all accounts relating thereto. To perfect the lien and security interest granted hereby, Manager agrees to execute and acknowledge a recording supplement and/or financing statement prepared and submitted by Owner in connection herewith or at any time following execution hereof.
