Except as provided in clauses 7.1.4 and 7.1.5, CONTRACTOR shall be entitled to take and receive and freely export such Crude Oil. For purposes of determining the quantity of Crude Oil delivered to CONTRACTOR required to recover said Operating Costs, the weighted average price of all Crude Oil produced and sold from the Contract Area during the Calendar Year will be used, excluding however deliveries made pursuant to clause 5.2.15. lf, in any Calendar Year, the Operating Costs exceed the value of the Crude Oil produced and saved hereunder and not used in Petroleum Operation, then the unrecovered excess shall be recovered in succeeding Years. 6.1.3 Of the Crude Oil remaining after deducting Operating Costs: (a) If the first Crude Oil production of this Contract Area is from a Marginal Field as described herein below, for such production the Parties shall be entitled to take and receive each Year, respectively sixty-four point two eight five seven percent (64.2857%) for PERTAMINA and thirty-five point seven one four three percent (35.7143%) for CONTRACTOR over the life of such field. A "Marginal Field" is the first field of the Contract Area proposed by CONTRACTOR for development and approved by PERTAMINA, capable of Crude Oil production not exceeding ten thousand (10,000) Barrels daily average projected for the initial two (2) production years (24 consecutive production months). Marginal field production represents a separate segment from the others. (b) For Crude Oil production as a result of tertiary recovery of enhanced oil recovery (EOR) projects, the Parties shall be entitled to take and receive each Year, respectively sixty-four point two eight five seven percent (64.2857%) for PERTAMINA and thirty-five point seven one four three percent (35.7143%) for CONTRACTOR. Tertiary recovery EOR production represents a separate segment from the others. (c) For Crude Oil production from pre-Tertiary reservoir rocks, the Parties shall be entitled to take and receive each Year respectively as follows: (i) PERTAMINA sixty-four point two eight five seven percent (64.2857%) and CONTRACTOR thirty-five point seven one four three percent (35.7143%) for the segment of zero (0) to fifty thousand (50,000) Barrels daily average of all of such pre-Tertiary production of the Contract Area for the Calendar Year; (ii) PERTAMINA seventy-three point two one four three percent (73.2143%) and CONTRACTOR twenty-six point seven eight five seven percent (26.7857%) for the segment of fifty thousand and one (50,001) Barrels to one hundred and fifty thousand (150,000) Barrels daily average of all of such pre-Tertiary production of the Contract Area for the Calendar Year; (iii) PERTAMINA eighty-two point one four two nine percent (82.1429%) and CONTRACTOR seventeen point eight five seven one percent (17.8571%) for the segment of more than one hundred and fifty thousand (150,000) Barrels daily average of all of such pre-Tertiary production of the Contract Area for the Calendar Year; Pre-Tertiary reservoir rocks mean petroleum reservoir rocks deposited or formed in pre-Tertiary times. (d) For Crude Oil production of the Contract Area other than those under paragraphs (a), (b) and (c) herein above, each year PERTAMINA and CONTRACTOR shall be entitled to take and receive seventy-three point two one four three percent (73.2143%) and twenty-six point seven eight five seven percent (26.7857%) respectively. Each of the above segments represents separate production segments from the others. The deduction of investment Credit and Operating Costs before the entitlement are taken by each respective Party as provided under this clause 6.1.3, shall be subject to the following proration method: for each Calendar Year, the recoverable Investment Credit and Operating Costs shall be apportioned for deduction from the production of each of the segments as herein above defined, at the same ratios as the production from each such segment bears to the total production of such year. In the event that Crude Oil production from a field qualifies for more than one of the definitions set out in paragraphs (a), (b) and (c) of this clause 6.1.3, CONTRACTOR will have the option to elect which of the clause shall be applied. Such election when made shall not be changed. 6.1.4 Title to CONTRACTOR's portion of Crude Oil under clauses 6.1.3, 6.1.7 and 6.3.1, as well as to such portion of Crude Oil exported and sold to recover Operating Costs and the investment credit provided for in clause 6.1.7 shall pass to CONTRACTOR at the Point of Export, or, in the case of oil delivered to PERTAMINA pursuant to clause 5.2.15 or otherwise at the point of delivery. 6.1.5 CONTRACTOR will use its best reasonable efforts to market the Crude Oil to the extent markets are available. Either Party shall be entitled to take and receive their respective portion in kind. 6.1.6 If PERTAMINA elects to take any of its portion of Crude Oil in kind, it shall so advise CONTRACTOR in writing not less than ninety (90) days prior to the commencement of each semester of each Calendar Year specifying the quantity which it elects to take in kind, such notice to be effective for the ensuing semester of each Calendar Year, provided, however, that such election shall not interfere with the proper performance of any Crude Oil sales agreement for Petroleum produced within the Contract Area which CONTRACTOR has executed prior to the notice of such election. Failure to give such notice shall be conclusively deemed to evidence the election not to take in kind. Any sale of PERTAMINA's portion of Crude Oil shall not be for a term of more than one Calendar Year without PERTAMINA's consent. 6.1.7 (a) CONTRACTOR may recover an investment credit amounting to fifteen point seven eight zero zero percent (15.7800%) of the capital investment cost directly required for developing Crude Oil production facilities as provided under clause 2.3.3 of Exhibit "C" hereof, of a new field producing from Tertiary reservoir rock out of deduction from gross production before recovering Operating Costs, commencing in the earliest production Year or Years before tax deduction (to be paid in advance in such production year when taken). (b) CONTRACTOR may recover an investment credit amounting to one hundred and two point one four zero zero percent (102.1400%) of the capital investment cost directly required for developing Crude Oil production facilities as provided under clause 2.3.3 of Exhibit "C" hereof, of a new field producing from pre-Tertiary reservoir rock out of deduction from gross production before recovering Operating Costs, commencing in the earliest production Year or Years before tax deduction (to be paid in advance in such production Year when taken). The investment credits referred to in paragraphs (a) and (b) above (the "Investment Credit") may be applied to new secondary recovery and tertiary recovery EOR projects but are not applicable to "interim production schemes” nor further investments to enhance production and reservoir drainage in excess of what was contemplated in the original development program as approved by PERTAMINA. 6.2 NATURAL GAS: 6.2.1 Any Natural Gas produced from the Contract Area to the extent not used in Petroleum Operations hereunder, may be flared if the processing and utilization thereof is not economical.

Operating Costs incurred for production of both Natural Gas and Crude Oil will be allocated to Natural Gas and Crude Oil based on the relative value of the products produced for the current Year. Common support costs will be allocated on an equitable basis agreed to by both Parties. If after commencement of production, the Natural Gas revenues do not permit full recovery of Natural Gas costs, as outlined above, then the excess costs shall be recovered from Crude Oil revenues. Likewise, if excess Crude Oil costs (Crude Oil costs less Crude Oil revenues) exists, this excess can be recovered from Natural Gas revenues. If production of either Natural Gas or Crude Oil has commenced while the other has not, the allocable production costs and common support costs will be allocated in an equitable manner. Propane and butane fractions extracted from Natural Gas but not spiked in Crude Oil shall be deemed as Natural Gas for the purpose of accounting. 3.5 lnventory Accounting The costs of non-capital items purchased for inventory will be recoverable at such time the items have landed in Indonesia. 3.6 Insurance and Claims Operating Costs shall include premiums paid for insurance normally required to be carried for the Petroleum Operations relating to CONTRACTOR's obligations conducted under the Contract, together with all expenditures incurred and paid in settlement of any and all losses, claims, damages, judgements, and other expenses, including fees relating to CONTRACTOR's obligation under the Contract. 3.7 Abandonment and Site Restoration Operating Costs shall include all expenditures incurred in the abandonment of all exploratory wells and the restoration of their drillsites, together with all estimates of monies required for the funding of any abandonment and site restoration program established in conjunction with an approved plan of development for a commercial discovery. Expenditures incurred in the abandonment of exploratory wells and the restoration of their drillsites shall be charged as Operating Costs in accordance with Article II of this Exhibit "C". Estimates of the monies required for the funding of any abandonment and site restoration program established pursuant to paragraph (e) of clause 5.2.5 of the Contract shall be charged as Operating Costs annually on the basis of accounting accruals beginning in the year of first production. The amount charged in each Year will be calculated by dividing the total estimated cost of abandonment and site restoration for each discovery by the total estimated number of years in the economic life of each discovery. The estimates of monies required for all abandonment and site restoration activities shall be reviewed on an annual basis and such estimates shall be adjusted each Year as required.

CONTRACTOR shall be the sole Operator of the venture under properly defined rights and obligations. 2. Authorized representatives of both parties shall meet periodically for the purpose of conducting the venture's operations. All decisions shall be taken by majority vote except in case of terminating the Contract, which decision shall require the unanimous consent of both parties. However, if either of the parties wishes to withdraw from the venture, it shall transfer without cost its undivided interest to the other party. 3. Both parties shall have the obligation to provide or cause to be provided their respective proportions of such finance and in such currencies as may be required from time to time by the Operator for the operations envisaged under the Contract.

The Operator shall prepare the annual work program and budgets which shall be submitted to the authorized representative of both partners for decision prior to their submission to PERTAMINA in accordance with the provisions of the Contract. 5. In respect of any exploratory drilling operation, a "nonconsent" provision shall be made which assures the Indonesian Participant that it does not have to participate in such operation if it were to disagree to the inclusion of such operation in the work program and budget and which in case of success adequately compensates CONTRACTOR for the cost and risk incurred by the latter. 6. Subject to adequate lifting tolerances, each party shall offtake at CONTRACTOR's point of export its production entitlement and its proportionate share of any portion of the Crude Oil which PERTAMINA elects not to take in kind, both as provided under the Contract. However, if the Indonesian Participant is not in a position to market such quantity wholly or partly, it shall, in respect of the quantity which it cannot market itself, have the option under an adequate notification procedure: either to require CONTRACTOR (or its associates if CONTRACTOR so desires) to purchase that quantity, or to lift that quantity at a later date under an adequate procedure. 7. In respect of any quantity to be purchased from the Indonesian Participant by CONTRACTOR (or its associates) the price in respect of each quality of Crude Oil shall be: 7.1 for Crude Oil to be delivered for local consumption under the terms of the Contract fifteen percent (15%) of the price pursuant to Section VII or as otherwise provided for in the Contract. 7.2 For all other Crude Oil, the weighted average net realized price received by CONTRACTOR for comparable types and quantities sold by it during the Calendar Year involved, minus five percent (5%).
