The Grantor may, but will not be under any duty to, engage in price protection (hedging) or speculative transactions such as futures contracts and commodity options in its sole discretion covering all or part of production from the Property, and, except in the case where Products are actually delivered and a sale is actually consummated under such price protection or speculative transactions, none of the revenues, costs, profits or losses from such transactions will be taken into account in calculating Net Smelter Returns or any interest therein.

The Grantor may suspend operations on, in or under the $9.7$ Property (or any part thereof) from time to time or at any time, in its sole and absolute discretion.
