Provision

W: This tract is within an area identified as essential wildlife habitat, however the Department of Trust Lands does not manage the surface.

R: Notwithstanding any other provisions of this lease to the contrary, it is agreed that Lessee has no right, without first obtaining the written consent of Lessor, to drill any well from the surface of said riverbed or lakebed or to use the surface of the riverbed or lakebed for any purpose. Lessor does not warrant its title to the acreage leased by this lease. North Dakota Administrative Code § 85-06-01-01(3) provides ”[a] nomination for a tract containing a body of water may include up to a section of land if the tract cannot reasonably be subdivided by quarter section or half section. The tract acreage, including islands, may be offered and described as ‘more or less’ and may be adjusted by the board within each quarter section.” If, during any time prior to expiration of the lease, it is determined by a court or by Lessor that the acreage is more than that set forth in this lease, then Lessee will pay Lessor an additional bonus for each additional acre. Such bonus will be the same per acre bonus as that paid by Lessee to obtain this lease. If, during any time prior to expiration of the lease, it is determined by a court or by Lessor that the Lessor owns less acreage than that set forth in this lease, then Lessor will refund to Lessee the proportionate per acre bonus paid for this lease.
