Reasonable efforts shall be made by Lessee in designating production units to avoid excluding small or irregular shaped portions of the Leased Premises. Units assigned to ▇▇▇▇▇ producing from different zones may overlap, and shall overlap when necessary to comply with the requirements of this section. If a well is producing from more than one formation, its production unit’s size and configuration shall conform to the to the limitations set forth herein or the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (“ODNR”) (or other government entity with jurisdiction) rules applicable to the well which provides the largest production unit (subject to the size limitations stated above).

Lessor specifically recognizes that Lessee, at Lessee’s option, may drill multiple ▇▇▇▇▇ within a unit provided that such is permitted by the ODNR.
