commenced during such primary term or any extension thereof, or while this lease is in force by reason of
such drilling or reworking operations or other production.
EXPLORATION - Lessor reserves the right to conduct exploration on the leased land provided such
exploration does not interfere with rights granted herein.
In consideration of the premises, the parties covenant and agree as follows:
1. RENTAL - If this lease is extended for an additional term as provided for in the EXTENSION
paragraph hereof, Lessee shall pay to Lessor the sum of One Dollar ($1.00) per acre for the land
covered hereby as delayed rental for the term of the extension. Rentals set at the time of
established production shall be paid during the remaining life of this lease, annually, in advance,
on or before each anniversary date hereof. There shall be no refund of unused rental.
2. ROYALTY - Lessee shall account for any and all substances produced on the leased land and
Lessee shall pay to Lessor as royalty, in addition to the rentals provided, but except for products
used on the leased land, unavoidably lost or flared on the leased land, with approval of Lessor,
the following:
A. On oil, 20% of the oil produced and saved from the leased land.
At the option of Lessor, and with sixty(60)days' notice to Lessee, Lessor may take its royalty
oil in kind, in which event Lessee shall deliver such royalty oil to Lessor on the leased land,
free of cost or deduction, into the pipelines or storage tanks designated by Lessor, but
Lessee shall not in such case be required to provide free tankage for any such oil for a longer
period than one month after the same is run into tanks. With sixty (60) days' notice to
Lessee, Lessor may cease taking oil royalty in kind. When paid in cash, the royalty shall be
calculated upon the fair market value of the oil at the well which shall not be deemed to be
less than the price actually paid to Lessee at the well by the purchaser thereof; and in no
event shall the royalties be based upon a market value at the well less than the posted price
in the field for such oil, or in the absence of a posted price in the field for such oil, upon a
market value at the well less than the prevailing price received by other producers in the field
for oil of like grade and gravity at the time such oil is run into pipelines or storage tanks.
B. On gas, including casing head gas or other gaseous substance, 20% of the fair market
value at the well or of the price received by Lessee at the well, whichever is greater, of all gas
produced and sold from the leased land or utilized off the land by Lessee. A copy of all
contracts for sale of gas shall be furnished to Lessor. Where gas is sold under contract that
has been approved by Lessor, the fair market value of such gas for determining the royalties
payable hereunder shall be the price at which such gas is sold under such contract. No
approval by Lessor of the terms of any such agreement shall operate to make Lessor a party
thereto or obligate it thereunder in any way. At the option of Lessor, and with sixty (60) days'
notice to Lessee, Lessor may take its royalty in kind. With sixty(60) days' notice to Lessee,
Lessor may cease taking gas royalty in kind.
C. All costs of marketing the oil and/or gas produced shall be borne by Lessee and such costs
shall not directly or indirectly reduce the royalty payments to Lessor. Except that marketing
costs for Lessor's in-kind royalty shall be borne by Lessor.

D. If Lessor owns a lesser interest in the oil and gas deposits of the above-described land than
the entire and undivided fee simple estate, then the royalties and rentals herein provided
shall be paid to Lessor only in the portion which its interest bears to the whole and undivided
fee, but no refund of any bonus consideration shall be made by Lessor hereunder.
3. RECORDS - Lessee agrees to keep and to have in possession complete and accurate books and
records showing the production and disposition of any and all substances produced on the leased

unreasonable with requests. All said books and records shall be retained by Lessee and made
available in Colorado to Lessor for a period of not less than five years.
4. MEASUREMENTS - All production shall be accurately measured using standards established by
the American Gas Association (AGA) and/or the American Petroleum Institute (API) and all
measuring devices shall be tamper proof as nearly as possible. Oil royalties due within the terms
of this lease shall be calculated on actual and accurate measurements within API standards
unless a different means of measurement, subject to Lessor's approval, is provided.
5. PAYMENTS AND REPORTS - All payments and reports due hereunder shall be made on or
before the day such payments and reports are due. Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed
to extend the expiration of the primary term hereof.
Oil royalty payments and supporting documents shall be submitted prior to the last day of the
month following each month's sale of production, and gas royalty payments and supporting
documents shall be submitted prior to the last day of the second month following each month's
sale of production.
All payments shall be made by cash, check, certified check, or money order. Payment having
restrictions, qualifications, or encumbrances of any kind whatsoever shall not be accepted by
Lessor. A penalty for a late payment shall be charged as set forth in the PENALTIES paragraph
herein.

payments, operational deficiencies, violation of any covenant of this lease, or false statements
made to Lessor. Penalties shall be determined by Lessor unless otherwise provided for by law
and may be in the form of, but not limited to, interest, fees, fines, and/or lease cancellation. A
penalty schedule shall be prepared by Lessor and shall become effective immediately after public

regulations governing oil and gas operations in Colorado. Violations shall result in penalties as
provided for by law or as set forth in the aforementioned schedule or shall, at the option of
Lessor, result in default as provided hereinafter.
8. SURRENDER - Lessee may at any time, by paying to Lessor all amounts then due as provided
herein, surrender this lease insofar as the same covers all or any portion of the land herein
leased and be relieved from further obligations or liability hereunder with respect to the land so
surrendered; provided that this surrender clause and the option herein reserved to Lessee shall
cease and become absolutely inoperative immediately and concurrently with the institution of any
suit in any court of law by Lessee, Lessor or any assignee of either to enforce this lease, or any of
its terms expressed or implied. In no case shall any surrender be effective until Lessee shall

have made full provision for conservation of the leased products and protection of the surface
rights of the leased land.
9. ASSIGNMENTS -
A. Lessee, upon payment of a $25.00 fee and prior written consent of Lessor (which shall not
be unreasonably withheld), shall have the right to assign the entire leasehold interest of
said Lessee in all or part of the land covered hereby. Prior to written approval by Lessor of
assignment of this lease, Lessee (assignor) shall not be relieved of its obligations under the
terms and conditions herein. An assignment shall not extend the term of this lease.
B. If any assignment of a portion of the land covered hereby shall be approved, a new lease
shall be issued to the assignee covering the assigned land, containing the same terms and
conditions as this lease, and limited as to term as this lease is limited, and the assignor shall
be released and discharged from all further obligations and liabilities as to that portion so
assigned.
C. Lessee shall notify Lessor of all assignments of undivided percentage or other interests. Said
interests will not be recognized or approved by Lessor, and the effect of any such
assignments will be strictly and only between the parties thereto, and outside the terms of this
lease: and no dispute between parties to any such assignment shall operate to relieve
Lessee from performance of any terms or conditions hereof or to postpone the time therefore.
Lessor shall at all times be entitled to look solely to Lessee or his assignee shown on its
books as being the sole owner hereof, and for the sending of all notices required by this lease
and for the performance of all terms and conditions hereof.
D. Although not binding on Lessor, all instruments of every kind and nature whatsoever affecting
this lease should be filed with the Lessor.
10. OVERRIDING ROYALTY - Any and all reservations or assignments or overriding royalties shall
be subject to approval by Lessor. The total of said overriding royalties shall not exceed five
percent (5%), including any overriding royalty previously provided for unless production exceeds
a monthly average of fifteen (15) barrels per day or ninety thousand cubic feet of gas per day(90
MCF/D). In the event production drops to this amount or less, any overriding royalties which
exceed five percent (5%) may be suspended. Lessor's approval of a reservation or assignment
of an overriding royalty shall not bind Lessor for payment of said overriding royalty and shall not
relieve Lessee of any of its obligations for payment of royalties to Lessor as provided by
ROYALTY paragraphs herein.
11. OFFSET WELLS - Lessee agrees to protect the leased land from drainage by offset wells located
on adjoining lands not owned by Lessor, when such drainage is not compensated for by counter-
drainage. It shall be presumed that the production of oil and gas from offset wells results in
drainage from the leased land, unless Lessee demonstrates to Lessor's satisfaction, by
engineering, geological, or other data, that production from such offset well does not result in
such drainage, or that the drilling of a well or wells on the leased land would not accomplish the
purposes of protecting the deposits under the leased land. Lessor's decision as to the existence
of such drainage shall be final, and Lessee shall comply with Lessor's order thereon or surrender
this lease as to any such undeveloped acreage as designated by Lessor.
12. DEVELOPMENT - Upon discovery of oil and gas or either of them on the leased land, Lessee
shall proceed with reasonable diligence to develop said land at a rate and to an extent
commensurate with the economic development of the field in which the leased land lies.

13. POOLING CLAUSE - Lessee may at any time or times pool any part or all of said land or lease or
any stratum or strata with other lands and leases, stratum or strata, in the same field so as to
constitute a spacing unit to facilitate an orderly or uniform well-spacing pattern or to comply with
any order, rule, or regulation of the State or Federal regulatory or conservation agency having
jurisdiction. Such pooling shall be accomplished or terminated by filing of record a declaration of
pooling, or declaration of termination of pooling, and by mailing or tendering a copy to Lessor, or
to the depository bank. Drilling or reworking operations upon or production from any part of such
spacing unit shall be considered for all purposes of this lease as operations or productions from
this lease. Lessee shall allocate to this lease the proportionate share of production which the
acreage in this lease included in any such spacing unit bears to the total acreage in said spacing
unit.
14. UNITIZATION - COMMUNITIZATION - In the event Lessor permits the land herein leased to be
included within a communitization or unitization agreement, the terms of this lease may be
deemed to be modified to conform to such agreement. When only a portion of the land under this
lease is committed by an agreement, Lessor may segregate the land and issue a separate lease
for each portion not committed thereunder; the term of such separate lease shall be limited as to
the original term of this lease. The terms of the lease on that portion remaining in the unit shall
be deemed to be modified to conform to such agreement. Non-producing leases shall terminate
on the first anniversary date of the lease following the termination date of the unit or part thereof
modifying the lease, but in no event prior to the end of the primary term of the lease or the
extension term of the lease.
15. PRODUCTION - Lessee shall, subject to applicable laws, regulations and orders, operate and
produce all wells upon the leased land so long as the same are capable of producing in paying
quantities, and shall operate the same so as to produce at a rate commensurate with the rate of
production of wells on adjoining lands within the same field and within the limits of good
engineering practice, except for such times as there exist neither market nor storage therefore,
and except for such limitations on or suspensions of production as may be approved in writing by
Lessor. Lessee shall be responsible for adequate site security on all producing properties.
16. SHUT-IN WELLS - If Lessee shall complete a well on the leased land productive of gas and
Lessee is unable to produce such gas due to a lack of suitable market therefore, Lessor may
grant Lessee suspension of his obligations to produce hereunder until a suitable market for such
gas can be found, and during any such suspension period, it shall be deemed that gas is being
produced hereunder in paying quantities. Except, however, that beginning on the anniversary
date next, of the year of an extension of the lease by reason of a shut-in well, Lessee shall pay to
Lessor a shut-in royalty equal to $2.00 per acre of the lease per annum in addition to the annual
rental. The minimum amount of such shut-in royalty payment shall be $240. Each year's shut-in
royalty shall be forfeited to Lessor except for the shut-in royalty paid for the year during which the
well begins production. The maximum extension of the lease, due to the existence of a shut-in
well, shall be five years beyond the extension term as described in the EXTENSION paragraph
herein. The granting of any further extensions shall be at the sole option of Lessor.
17. OPERATIONS - No exploration, drilling or production operation, including permanent
installations, shall be within 200 feet of any existing building or other improvement, including
water well or reservoir, without the written permission of the owner of said improvements. Lessee
shall keep a correct log of each well drilled hereunder, showing by name or description the
formations passed through, the depth at which each formation was reached, the number of feet of
each size casing set in each well, where set, and the total depth of each well drilled. Lessee,
within thirty(30)days after the completion or abandonment of any well drilled hereunder, shall file
in the office of Lessor a complete and correct log of such well, together with a copy of the electric
log and the radioactivity log of the well when such logs, or either of them, are run; and also a copy

of all drill stem test results, core records and analyses, record of perforations and initial
production tests, if any. If any of the information required by this paragraph is contained in
reports required to be filed with the Oil and Gas Conservation Commission of Colorado, the
requirements of this paragraph for such information may be satisfied by such filing with said
Commission, except for copies of the reports as are required by the following paragraph, and
provided that all such information is immediately available to Lessor. Any proprietary information
so submitted shall not be subject to public inspection under Colorado law.
Lessee shall bury pipelines below plow depth. Lessee shall set and cement sufficient surface

the payment for such damages as may be caused by Lessee's operations on said land and to
assure compliance with all the terms and provisions of this lease, the laws of the State of
Colorado, and the rules and regulations thereto appertaining. A bond may be held in effect for
the life of production of any well.
20. SETTLEMENT - Lessee shall not remove any machinery, equipment or fixtures placed on said
land, other than drilling equipment, nor draw the casing from any well unless and until all
payments and obligations currently due Lessor under the terms of this lease shall have been paid
or satisfied. Any machinery, equipment or fixtures left on this land for a period of more than six
(6)months after the expiration hereof, shall automatically become the property of Lessor.
21. OTHER DISCOVERY- Should Lessee discover any valuable products other than oil and gas, on
or within the leased land, Lessee shall within seven (7) days report such discovery to Lessor, in
which event Lessee and Lessor may negotiate a provision for production of such discovery.
22. WATER - This lease does not grant permission, express or implied, to Lessee for water
exploration, drilling, or establishing water wells without the written permission of the surface
owner. If Lessor is the surface owner, said permission shall not be unreasonably withheld. If
Lessee desires to establish or adjudicate any water right for beneficial use on the leased land,
any such adjudication or application shall be in the name of Lessor if Lessor is the surface owner.
The same shall apply to any non-tributary water rights established on the leased land which may
be put to beneficial use off said land.
23. DEFAULT - Upon failure or default of Lessee to comply with any of the terms and provisions
hereof including but not limited to the failure to comply with laws, rules and regulations governing
Colorado oil and gas operations, Lessor is hereby authorized upon notice and hearing, as
hereinafter provided, to cancel this lease as to all of the leased land so claimed or possessed by
lessee hereunder. In the event of any such default or failure, Lessor shall, before making any
such cancellation, send to Lessee by certified mail, to the post office address of said lessee as
shown by the records of Lessor, a notice of intention to cancel for such failure or default,
specifying the same, stating that if within forty-five (45) days from the date of mailing said notice,
Lessee shall correct such failure or default, no cancellation will be made. If such failure or default
is not corrected within forty-five(45)days after the mailing of such notice, and if Lessee does not

in which event of such specific award(s) shall be paid to Lessor in lieu of royalty
lost by virtue of the condemnation. Improvements shall be removed by Lessee per terms in the
SETTLEMENT paragraph herein. If only a portion of the leased land is taken by condemnation,
