This Operating Agreement is entered into this _______ day of ________________, 2021, by and between PETRON OIL AND GAS, LLC, a Kansas Limited Liability Company (hereinafter referred to as “Operator”), OKMIN OPERATIONS, LLC, a Kansas Limited Liability Company (hereinafter referred to as “Non-Operator One”), EARNEST ASHLOCK (hereinafter referred to as “Non-Operator Two”), and J & S MCCOY ENTERPRISES, LLC, a Kansas Limited Liability Company (hereinafter referred to as “Non-Operator Three”)(Non-Operator One, Non-Operator Two and Non-Operator Three all sometimes hereinafter referred to as the "Non-Operators” or as a “Non-Operator”).

WHEREAS, Non-Operators are the owners of all (meaning 100%) of the working interest, this being an 87.5% net revenue interest (“NRI”), in the following oil and gas lease (hereinafter referred to as the “Vitt Lease”):

 

LESSOR: Edward Vitt and Marilyn G. Vitt
LESSEE: Jon McCoy
DATE OF LEASE: 04/20/1983
RECORDED: on 04/22/1983 at Book 93M Pages 369-370
LEGAL DESCRIPTION: NW/4 of Section 1, Township 29S, Range 20E, Neosho County, Kansas  

and the working interest share and NRI of Non-Operators is shown on the attached Exhibit A.

WHEREAS, Operator agrees to operate the Vitt Lease on behalf of Operator and the Non-Operators based on the terms and conditions of this Operating Agreement.

NOW THEREFORE, FOR GOOD AND VALUABLE CONSIDERATION, the receipt and sufficiency of which is acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

1.Non-Operators hereby designate Operator as the operator of the Vitt Lease.
2.The parties agree that there shall be an upfront charge of $3,000 by Operator for administrative overhead, and reimbursements of up $1,000 for personal and travel expenses, per month for the first three months, and beyond that the parties will mutually agree on charges by Operator for administrative overhead. Non-Operators agree to pay their proportionate share of expenses for all third-party charges for materials and services provided to the Vitt Lease, such share to be based on the percentage of the working interest owned by each Non-Operator. Non-Operators shall each be billed their proportionate share of these third-party costs based on their working interest in the Vitt Lease. Operator agrees that all third-party charges for materials and services provided to the Vitt Lease shall be billed to Non-Operators at actual cost with no “mark up” on such charges.
3.Operator agrees to provide Non-Operators a full and complete Joint Interest Billing for the Vitt Lease on a monthly basis according to the terms and conditions of this Operating Agreement. Further, Operator agrees to promptly, upon request, provide Non-Operators with copies of back-up invoices for all Joint Interest Billings to Non-Operators. Operator shall maintain a separate bank account for Vitt Lease operations and will provide monthly accounting summaries to Non-Operators.
 
 

 

4.Operator shall at all times during the term of this Operating Agreement (i) maintain its status as a licensed Operator of oil and gas leases and wells with the Kansas Corporation Commission (KCC), and (ii) operate the Vitt Lease in compliance with Kansas law and KCC rules and regulations and any Federal Agency having jurisdiction over the Vitt Lease.
5.Operator shall operate the Vitt Lease according to the reasonable prudent operator standard prevailing in Southeast Kansas and shall maintain all reasonable insurance policies, including but not limited to casualty and liability insurance naming Non-Operators as additional insureds. At all times while operations are conducted hereunder, Operator and any contractors and subcontractors shall fully comply with Kansas workers compensation laws.
6.Proceeds from the sale of oil and/or gas produced from the Vitt Lease shall be distributed directly to the working interest owners according to the working interest shares shown on the attached Exhibit A.
7.This Operating Agreement shall be effective immediately upon the assignment to Non-Operators of their interests in the Vitt Lease.
8.Notwithstanding Section 2 above, for the purpose of this Operating Agreement, Non-Operator One shall pay all third-party charges up to a total of $50,000.00 for enhancement work, repairs, reworks, recompletions, treatments, insurance, or other work necessary to attempt to increase oil and gas production and also including legal fees and administrative overhead and reimbursements as set forth in Section 2 above. Thereafter, except as provided in section 11 below, Non-Operators shall pay for Vitt Lease third-party charges proportional to their working interest share shown on the attached Exhibit A.
9.The liability of the parties shall be several and not joint or collective. Each party shall be responsible only for its respective obligations and shall therefore be liable for only its proportionate share of the costs of operating the Vitt Lease. It is not the intention of the parties to create nor should this Operating Agreement be construed as establishing a mining or other partnership, joint venture or association or render the parties in any manner liable as partners.
10.Operator shall have the right pursuant to the terms of this Operating Agreement to incur any Vitt Lease operating expenditures up to the sum of $2,500.00. However, for any anticipated expenditure that will exceed the sum of $2,500.00, Non-Operators shall have the right to approve such expenditure. This limitation on expenditures shall not apply in the case of an emergency. Therefore, if an emergency situation is deemed to exist in the sole discretion of the Operator, Operator is hereby authorized on behalf of Non-Operators to spend within reason such sums as are necessary to resolve such emergency.
11.If any Non-Operator does not approve drilling a new well or wells on the Vitt Lease, the Non-Operator(s) who approve the drilling shall have the option and right to proceed with drilling such new well(s) and in such case the approving Non-Operators shall be responsible for all costs and expenses associated with drilling, completing, producing and plugging the new well(s) and shall be entitled to receive all oil and gas production from the new well(s). The non-approving Non-Operator’s share of oil and gas production from the new well(s) shall be proportionally divided between the approving Non-Operators. Nothing herein precludes the approving and non-approving Non-Operators from mutually agreeing to terms to allow the non-approving Non-Operator to participate in oil and gas production from the new well(s).
12.In the event Non-Operators fail to pay any undisputed Joint Interest Billing to Operator within thirty (30) days after the receipt of such Joint Interest Billing, then and in that event, Operator shall be entitled to charge interest on any unpaid balance at the annual rate of Twelve Percent (12%) per annum.
13.In the event Non-Operators fail to pay any Joint Interest Billing due to the Operator and the same becomes delinquent for a period of ninety (90) days, then and in that event, the Operator shall have the right to file an Operator’s Lien against the working interest of the delinquent Non-Operator and shall be entitled to utilize all legal remedies that are available to Operator so that the Operator can be paid for all Joint Interest Billings incurred in the operation of the Vitt Lease. Further, should Non-Operator fail to pay any Joint Interest Billing due Operator for a period of one hundred and twenty (120) days, then and in that event, Operator may declare the delinquent Non-Operator as being in substantial default and Operator shall be entitled to direct the crude oil buyer to suspend all payments of production proceeds to the delinquent Non-Operator and Operator shall be entitled to assess a repayment charge of 110% (meaning, actual amount plus 10%) of the past due Joint Interest Billings which Operator shall be entitled to recover prior to the delinquent Non-Operator being restored to his receipt of oil production proceeds.
 
 

 

14.In the event that Operator or any Non-Operator violates any of the terms and conditions of this Operating Agreement and if legal proceedings are brought to enforce the terms and conditions of this Operating Agreement, then and in that event, the prevailing party in such litigation shall be entitled to recover its reasonable attorney’s fees and costs as a part of the terms of this Operating Agreement.
15.The Non-Operators hereby designate Operator as the operator of the Vitt Lease for so long as Non-Operators are working interest owners in the Vitt Lease. Notwithstanding the above, Non-Operators may remove Operator of the Vitt Lease and terminate this Agreement if Operator (a) becomes a debtor in bankruptcy, or (b) commits a material breach or default hereunder and fails to cure, or commence and thereafter diligently proceed to cure, such breach or default within 30 days after receipt of written notice from a Non-Operator describing the breach or default or (c) is deemed guilty of willful or gross negligence in the operation of the Vitt Lease, or (d) is not timely paying third-party vendors who perform services or provide materials or equipment to the Vitt Lease, provided however that non-payment of vendors will be excused if Non-Operators have failed to timely pay their share of Joint Interest Billings.
16.This Operating Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties, their successors and assigns.
17.Whenever this Operating Agreement requires the approval of or action by the Non-Operators, such approval or action shall be based on the affirmative vote of those owning a majority of the non-operating working interest.
18.This Operating Agreement may be executed by the parties by Fax, or by copy signed, scanned and sent via Email, and this Operating Agreement may be executed in counterparts and shall be deemed one document.
19.If any term or provision of this Operating Agreement is held invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of the Operating Agreement shall not be affected thereby, and each provision of this Operating Agreement shall be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.
20.This Operating Agreement has been made in, and shall be governed by and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Kansas.
21.This Operating Agreement constitutes the entire agreement concerning the operation of the Vitt Lease and may be modified only in writing signed by all parties.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, this Operating Agreement is executed and effective the day and year first above written.
