Effective as of the Effective Date, and in the manner provided for in this Agreement, Royalty Payor hereby grants and sets over to Royalty Owner, and Royalty Owner hereby acquires from Royalty Payor, the Overriding Royalty, which shall comprise an interest in the Petroleum Substances within, upon or under the Royalty Lands.

2.2 Interest in Land

  • (a) It is the express intention of the Parties that the Overriding Royalty herein granted by Royalty Payor to Royalty Owner constitutes, and is to be construed as, an interest in land in the Royalty Lands. All terms, covenants, provisions and conditions of this Agreement shall run with and be binding upon the Royalty Lands, the Royalty Wells and the Title and Operating Documents, and the estates affected thereby for the Term.

  • (b) Royalty Payor acknowledges and agrees that the Overriding Royalty is capable of supporting, and Royalty Owner is entitled to, as applicable, register a caveat of its interest against Royalty Payor's Working Interest under the Land Titles Act (Alberta) and the equivalent provincial legislation in those jurisdictions where the Royalty Lands are located. Royalty Payor shall cooperate with Royalty Owner in taking any commercially reasonable actions that are necessary or appropriate to support and defend the Parties’ intentions set out in this Section 2.2, including any applicable registrations.

  • (c) If the Royalty Wells ever become subject to a farmout, production penalty, forfeiture or similar reduction, suspension or loss by Royalty Payor of its rights to take or be paid for any portion of its Royalty Payor’s Working Interest share of production of Petroleum Substances from the Royalty Wells after the Effective Date, Royalty Payor shall continue to be responsible to Royalty Owner for the Overriding Royalty on any such share of production of Petroleum Substances unless or until any Person acquiring or assuming that portion of the Royalty Payor’s Working Interest is assigned and novated into this Agreement and assumes the Royalty Payor’s obligations for the Overriding Royalty under this Agreement with respect to that percentage share of Royalty Payor’s Working Interest.

  • (d) Royalty Payor:

  • (i) acknowledges and agrees that it is forever estopped from taking any action whatsoever to argue, challenge, contest or contend in any manner whatsoever that the Overriding Royalty is not an interest in land;

  • (ii) waives any right or action that they may have to argue, challenge, contest or contend in any manner whatsoever that the Overriding Royalty is not an interest in land; and

  • (iii) specifically agrees not to commence any action to argue, challenge, contest or contend in any manner whatsoever that the Overriding Royalty is not an interest in land.

  • 2.3 Quantification of Overriding Royalty

  • (a) Royalty Determination Methodology : The gross volume of Petroleum Substances comprising the Overriding Royalty shall be determined, on a Royalty Well by Royalty Well basis, as follows:

  • (i) the volume of Petroleum Substances as metered, measured or allocated at the Point of Sale shall be allocated back to each Royalty Well on a fair and reasonable basis, consistent

  • 8 -

with Royalty Payor's customary methodology, taking into account any usage or losses contemplated in Section 2.3(e); and

  • (ii) of the Petroleum Substances allocated to a Royalty Well for the Term shall be nine percent (9%) of such Petroleum Substances.

  • (b) Quantification of Overriding Royalty : Having regard for the Royalty Determination Methodology, the Overriding Royalty shall be quantified as follows:

  • (i) if not taken in kind by Royalty Owner pursuant to Section 2.5, nine percent (9%), as applicable in accordance with Section 2.3(a)(ii), of the Price Factor applicable to Royalty Payor's Working Interest share of sale of Petroleum Substances produced from each Royalty Well; and

  • (ii) if taken in kind by Royalty Owner pursuant to Section 2.5, nine percent (9%), as applicable in accordance with Section 2.3(a)(ii), of the Petroleum Substances applicable to the Royalty Payor’s Working Interest share produced from each Royalty Well, and available at the Point of Sale.

  • (c) Petroleum Substances Not Taken in Kind : For the purposes of Section 2.3(b):

  • (i) Appointment as Agent : Royalty Payor is appointed as the agent of Royalty Owner for the handling and disposition of the Overriding Royalty share of Petroleum Substances. When in the possession of Royalty Payor, the Petroleum Substances attributable to the Overriding Royalty and the proceeds of sale therefrom will be held as trustee for Royalty Owner and subject to the terms of this Agreement;

  • (ii) Sale of Petroleum Substances : Royalty Payor shall sell Royalty Owner's Overriding Royalty share of Petroleum Substances at the same price and on the same terms as Royalty Payor receives for its own share of Petroleum Substances attributable to Royalty Payor's Working Interest in the Royalty Lands, on a pro-rata basis with its own share of Petroleum Substances, provided that in connection with a sale to an Affiliate, price and terms shall not be less than the Price Factor.

  • (d) Deductions : Other than as set forth herein, Royalty Owner's Overriding Royalty share of Petroleum Substances produced from the Royalty Lands will be free and clear of any and all deductions whatsoever for costs and expenses incurred by Royalty Payor to and including the Point of Sale.

  • (e) Petroleum Substances Used in Operations : Notwithstanding the Royalty Determination Methodology and the quantification of the Overriding Royalty pursuant to Section 2.3(b), the Overriding Royalty will not include Petroleum Substances that Royalty Payor reasonably uses or loses in Royalty Payor's drilling, completion and production operations for the Royalty Lands or in the delivery of Petroleum Substances to, and handling at or prior to, the Point of Sale. Those drilling and production operations include the proportionate use of Royalty Owner's Overriding Royalty share of Petroleum Substances in batteries, treaters, compressors, separators, satellites and similar equipment serving the Royalty Wells, but do not include the use of Petroleum Substances for any enhanced recovery operations other than enhanced recovery operations on or in respect of the Royalty Lands.

  • (f) Other Hydrocarbons Used In Fracture Stimulation Programs : Notwithstanding the Royalty Determination Methodology and the quantification of the Overriding Royalty pursuant to Section 2.3(b), any hydrocarbon substances used in a fracture stimulation program on a Royalty Well will not be regarded as Petroleum Substances as and when recovered from that Royalty Well. This Section 2.3(f) does not modify the Royalty Payor's obligations for any such hydrocarbon substances that originally were Petroleum Substances within, upon or under the Royalty Lands or

  • 9 -

allocated thereto and that were produced from another Royalty Well for use in any such fracture stimulation program.

  • (g) Effect of Penalty Position : Notwithstanding that Royalty Payor or any permitted assignee of Royalty Payor may have elected to be in a penalty position with respect to a Royalty Well following the date hereof, Royalty Payor shall nonetheless be required to pay the Overriding Royalty, to the extent it is not paid, without any discount whatsoever, to the Royalty Owner as if Royalty Payor was not in a penalty position with respect to such Royalty Well.

  • (h) Effect of Pooling or Unitization on Calculation :

  • (i) Royalty Payor may pool the Petroleum Substances attributed to Royalty Payor's Working Interest in the Royalty Lands to the extent required to form a Spacing Unit, without the prior consent of Royalty Owner, if the pooling allocates production therefrom to the applicable Royalty Lands in the proportion that the surface area of the Royalty Lands placed on the Spacing Unit bears to the total surface area of the Spacing Unit. Royalty Payor shall promptly give notice to Royalty Owner describing the extent to which the Royalty Lands have been pooled and describing the pooled Spacing Unit.

  • (ii) If Royalty Payor proposes to pool, unitize or otherwise combine any portion of the Royalty Lands with any other lands, other than as provided in Section 2.3(h)(i), Royalty Payor must promptly send notice of that intention to Royalty Owner. Such notice must include the technical justification for that pooling, unitization or combination and the proposed terms thereof, provided that Royalty Payor will not be required to provide interpretive data to Royalty Owner. Royalty Owner has the right to consent or withhold consent to such proposed pooling, unitization or other combination of a portion of the Royalty Lands and must advise Royalty Payor promptly of its decision following receipt of the notice of intention from Royalty Payor.

  • (iii) If any portion of the Royalty Lands is pooled, unitized or combined with any other lands pursuant to this Section 2.3(h), Sections 2.3(a) and (b) will be deemed to be amended to calculate the volume of the Overriding Royalty by applying the percentages set forth in Sections 2.3(a) and (b) to the quantity of Petroleum Substances thereby attributed to Royalty Payor's Working Interest in the affected Royalty Lands, but otherwise as contemplated by Sections 2.3(a) and (b).

  • (i) Overriding Royalty Not Subject to Other Burdens : Except as specifically set forth herein, the Overriding Royalty shall not be subject to any royalties, burdens or other encumbrances payable by Royalty Payor in respect of Royalty Payor's Working Interest in the Royalty Lands or production of Petroleum Substances therefrom.

  • 2.4

Monthly Accounting

  • (a) Royalty Payor shall remit to the Royalty Owner all funds accruing to the Royalty Owner on account of the Overriding Royalty on or before the twenty-fifth (25[th)] day of the calendar month next following the calendar month in which those funds were received by Royalty Payor; provided that, for the purpose of the timing of receipt of proceeds in this Section 2.4, "received" will be read as "normally received" if the purchaser of those Petroleum Substances fails to pay Royalty Payor for that production provided that if such failure to pay is attributable to the default of the purchaser of such Petroleum Substances, Royalty Payor shall make such remittance within ten (10) Business Days of receipt.

  • (b) On or about the date of remittance pursuant to Section 2.4(a), Royalty Payor will provide the Royalty Owner with a statement in written or electronic format showing, on a Royalty Well by Royalty Well

  • 10 -

  • (ii) Royalty Owner shall provide Royalty Payor with evidence, satisfactory to Royalty Payor, acting reasonably, that Royalty Owner has made arrangements to take its share of Petroleum Substances and dispose of them in compliance with the Title and Operating Documents; provided that if Royalty Owner does not provide such evidence on a timely basis, or having done so does not actually take such Petroleum Substances, shall be deemed to have failed to take those Petroleum Substances in kind and Section 2.5(d) shall apply.

  • (b) Re-Establishment of Agency : Insofar as Royalty Owner has elected to revoke the agency established in Section 2.3(c), Royalty Owner may re-establish that agency on a minimum of ninety (90) days' notice to Royalty Payor, effective as of the 1st day of the calendar month next following the minimum ninety (90) day period. This right may be exercised separately for each type of Petroleum Substance. In connection therewith, Royalty Payor may request that Royalty Owner novate Royalty Payor (in accordance with Royalty Owner's share of Petroleum Substances elected to be taken in kind) into the transportation, marketing and sale agreements utilized by Royalty Owner for the handling and sale of such Petroleum Substances and upon such request Royalty Owner shall cause Royalty Payor to be assigned and novated into such arrangements, as Royalty Payor so elects.

  • (c) Royalty Payor's and Royalty Owner's Obligations :

  • (i) If Royalty Owner takes in-kind its Overriding Royalty share of Petroleum Substances at the Point of Sale:

  • 11 -

Petroleum Substances consistent with Royalty Payor's ordinary course of business, provided that to the extent Royalty Payor incurs a cost incremental to what it would have incurred had Royalty Owner not taken in-kind its Overriding Royalty and accumulated its Overriding Royalty share of Petroleum Substances outside of the ordinary course, such incremental cost shall be borne by Royalty Owner;

  - (C) Royalty Payor will deliver the Overriding Royalty share of those Petroleum Substances to Royalty Owner, or Royalty Owner's nominee, at the Point of Sale free and clear of all charges except for those set forth in Section 2.5; and

  - (D) Royalty Owner will assume sole responsibility for all costs and expenses incurred for the transportation, processing or other handling of Petroleum Substances delivered to it herein and therefrom and beyond the Point of Sales.
  • (d) Failure to Take-in Kind : Unless otherwise agreed to by Royalty Payor and Royalty Owner, if and only if Royalty Owner elects to take its Overriding Royalty share of Petroleum Substances in kind, but fails to (or is deemed to have failed to) take possession thereof at the Point of Sale, Royalty Payor shall take possession of such Petroleum Substances as agent of Royalty Owner and shall dispose of those Petroleum Substances by:

  • (i) selling those Petroleum Substances at Price Factor or such lower price as is reasonable in the circumstances, adjusted for deductions, in such case only, to the Point of Sale in an amount not to exceed the reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Royalty Owner to bring those Petroleum Substances to the Point of Sale; or

  • (ii) purchasing those Petroleum Substances for Royalty Payor's own account (or the account of an Affiliate) at Price Factor and accounting to Royalty Owner therefor.

2.6 Royalty Payor's Allowed Deductions

  • (b) Deductions Expressed As Cash Obligations : The allowable deductions from the proceeds of sale of the Royalty Owner's Overriding Royalty share of Petroleum Substances are expressed as cash obligations for convenience of record keeping and audit. This handling is not to be construed as altering the nature of the Overriding Royalty as an interest in land.

2.7 Special Enrichment and Blending Operations

Provided that Royalty Owner has not elected under Section 2.5 to take its Overriding Royalty share of the Petroleum Substances in kind, Royalty Payor shall have the option but not the obligation to purchase from Royalty Owner its Overriding Royalty share of the Petroleum Substances or such portion thereof from Royalty Owner, in connection with Royalty Payor's enrichment or blending operations, if any, at a purchase price equal to the Overriding Royalty amount for such Petroleum Substances as if such enrichment or blending operations were not being performed.

OPERATIONS

3.1 Rateable Production

Subject to the occurrence of a Force Majeure Event impacting production from a Royalty Well, Royalty Payor will not discriminate against the Petroleum Substances attributed to Royalty Payor's Working Interest in the Royalty Lands in the production and marketing of those Petroleum Substances because those Petroleum Substances are subject to the Overriding Royalty. Where it is the operator of a Royalty Well, Royalty Payor will not produce Petroleum Substances from a Royalty Well inequitably with production from any diagonally or laterally offsetting well operated by Royalty Payor and producing from the same pool as a Royalty Well, insofar as the Royalty Payor, or its Affiliate, has an interest in that offsetting well, because the Petroleum Substances are subject to the Overriding Royalty.

3.2 Well Information and Additional Records

Royalty Payor will make available to Royalty Owner Royalty Payor's production volume reporting for each Royalty Well through "Data Scavenger" or such other system as provides comparable information and is used in the ordinary course of Royalty Payor's business. Further, Royalty Payor will provide Royalty

Royalty Payor shall, at its own cost, pay for all rentals, royalties, taxes, expenses and charges payable under the provisions of the Title and Operating Documents with respect to the Royalty Lands and any wells, facilities or equipment on the Royalty Lands and the production of the Petroleum Substances therefrom. Royalty Payor shall, at its own cost, keep the Royalty Lands and the Title and Operating Documents in good standing, provided that nothing shall require Royalty Payor to undertake any operation that would be required to extend, continue or renew a Title and Operating Document.

3.4 Surrender and Abandonment of Royalty Lands

  • (a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if Royalty Payor determines bona fide and in good faith that the Title and Operating Documents pertaining to any portion of the Royalty Lands should be surrendered to the issuer of the Title and Operating Documents, or that such Title and Operating Documents should be allowed to expire, Royalty Payor shall be entitled to proceed with such surrender, or to allow such expiry to occur, and upon the surrender or expiry becoming effective the Overriding Royalty shall no longer be payable in respect of the applicable Royalty Lands, provided that if within twelve (12) months of such surrender or expiry Royalty Payor or any Affiliate of Royalty Payor acquires, directly or indirectly, a right, title, estate or interest in respect of the Royalty Lands or any portion thereof so terminated, surrendered or allowed to expire, such reacquired interest shall be subject to the Overriding Royalty and the terms and conditions of this Agreement, except to the extent such acquisition occurs as a result of an acquisition of a Person holding such right, title, estate or interest where such right, title, estate or interest does not comprise all or substantially all of such Person's assets.

  • (b) Royalty Payor shall have full right, power and authority without the prior consent of Royalty Owner to convert or abandon any Royalty Well if Royalty Payor determines that such Royalty Well is not capable of producing Petroleum Substances in paying quantities, as determined by Royalty Payor, acting reasonably.

  • (c) Royalty Payor shall provide Royalty Owner with written notice of all Title and Operating Documents that are allowed to expire.

3.5 Control Over Development

Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, as between Royalty Payor and Royalty Owner, Royalty Payor shall have exclusive control and authority over development of, and recovery of Petroleum Substances from, the Royalty Lands including, without limitation, making all decisions respecting whether, when and how to drill, complete, equip, produce, suspend, convert, abandon and shut-in wells and whether to elect to convert royalties to working interests. In furtherance thereof, Royalty Payor shall have the right to enter into and amend the Title and Operating Documents from time to time on such terms and conditions as it considers appropriate, provided that it acts in accordance with prudent oil and gas industry practices and in good faith in connection therewith. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Royalty Payor shall not effect, or consent to effect, a change of “operator” under any of the Title and Operating Documents without the prior consent of the Royalty Owner, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

3.6 Restrictions on Further Royalty Grants

Notwithstanding Section 3.5, during the Term, Royalty Payor acknowledges, covenants and agrees that it shall not further grant or sell any additional overriding royalty on the Royalty Lands in any manner

ARTICLE 4 PAYMENT DEFAULT

  • 4.1 Payment Default

If a Payment Default has occurred and is continuing, Royalty Owner shall have the right to:

  • (a) charge interest on any unpaid amounts at 5% calculated monthly from the day such payment is due until the day it is paid;

  • (b) set-off against any amount unpaid by Royalty Payor, any sums due or accruing to Royalty Payor or any Affiliate of Royalty Payor from Royalty Owner under this Agreement or any other agreement between Royalty Owner and Royalty Payor or any Affiliate of Royalty Payor;
