                             Allocation of Royalties and Other Lease Revenues
                             Royalty and all other revenue from gas leases associated with the Nature Center will
                             be  allocated  in  accordance  with  the  paragraphs  below.    Allocation  shall  vary
                             depending on whether such allocation occurs before or after Full Funding of the
                             Master Plan as defined in the following paragraph.

                             In 2009, the City Council adopted Resolution 3765-07-2009, which endorsed the
                             allocation of $62 million, adjusted for inflation, to provide full funding of the Nature
                             Center Master Plan, which was incorporated into the City’s Comprehensive Plan in
                             February 2004 (M&C G-14276).  In accordance with that Resolution, the term “Full
                             Funding of the Master Plan” shall mean a total combined allocation to the Nature
                             Center Endowment Gas Lease Fund and  the  Nature  Center  Capital  Improvement
                             Program of an amount that, as adjusted by the Consumer Price Index, represents the
                             equivalent of $62  million in 2009.

                             Until Full Funding of the Master Plan (as described above) has been achieved, all
                             royalties and other revenue  received  from  gas leases associated with the Nature
                             Center will be  allocated as follows:
