County of San Diego (1955), 45 Cal. 2d 546, over the present worth of the rentals under said lease for the unexpired term thereof.

This section does not apply to leasehold estates for the production of gas, petroleum and other hydrocarbon substances from beneath the surface of the earth, and other rights relating to such substances which constitute incorporeal hereditaments or profits a prendre.
