        Energy advised the trustee that this was a one-time adjustment, based on
        BP&#8217;s
        written statement that these principal and interest payments would complete
        the
        adjustment process related to the overriding royalty recalculation for these
        prior periods. While net profits income received by the trust often includes
        amounts related to purchaser adjustments, due to the size and nature of this
        adjustment, XTO Energy believes it is effectively nonrecurring. Because most
        of

        properties not operated by XTO Energy, such adjustments are generally not
        known
