Wade ,
Thank you for the information . Based on the fact there were wells spud , prior to the expiration of the original lease at
Reception No . 3754266, this lease is considered held by production and considered active when the . 095 acres was
deeded to Weld County in 2018 . I will prepare the Division Order for review by the County Attorney' s Office and once
they've reviewed it will be presented to the Board of Commissioners for approval . Upon approval , would you like
Noble ' s copy emailed or mailed , and would you like it sent to your attention or someone else ?

COMMENT F : (Uncertainty Regarding Validity of Subject Lease A - Sec. 24: pt NE/4)
Comment/Requirement N of the January 19 , 2015 Prior Opinion , covering the Ni2N1/2 of Section
24 ( including [Tracts la through 5b] of this Opinion ) discussed the continued validity of Subject
Lease A of this Opinion , which covers a 100 % mineral interest in a that portion of the Et2 of
Section 24 lying east of the center line of Crow Creek ( including [Tracts 1 a and I b] of this Opinion).
The prior examiner noted that Subject Lease A of this Opinion expired on March 3 , 2013 . As noted
above in Comment/Requirement XIII of this Opinion , pursuant to Colo . Rev. Stat . § 38-42- 106 a
lessee is required to record within six months of an expiration date of the primary term of a
producing oil and gas lease an affidavit of lease extension regarding the producing lease in the
records of the office of the Clerk and Recorder in the county in which the producing lease is
located . If the lessee fails to record the affidavit accordingly, the recorded lease will cease to be
constructive notice to third parties and will otherwise lose the protection afforded by the lease and its
owners under the recording statutes. The materials examined for the Prior Opinion did not include
an affidavit of lease extension for Subject Lease A of this Opinion , and the six month deadline in
which to record an affidavit of lease extension expired on September 3 , 2013. In order to determine
whether there were any wells extending this lease beyond its primary term, the prior examiner
reviewed the online records of the COGCC records and found the following wells : '

#2-24 _ El2NE/4 9/ 18/2011 9/22/2011 10/2013
As identified above , all of these wellbores were spud , completed and producing prior to the
expiration of Subject Lease A' s primary term . Therefore , despite the absence of Affidavits of
Production for the producing wells above , the prior examiner presumed that Subject Lease A
remains valid and covers Larson Farm' s 100% mineral interest in [Tracts la and lb] of this
Opinion . Ew
The materials examined for this Opinion did not include any additional information in regard to this
issue. Finally , the examiner notes that the working interest in Subject Lease A in the captioned lands
is [now owned by Noble.1051
REQUIREMENT F : Prior to operations , you should verify whether Subject Lease A remains
a valid oil and gas lease covering [Tracts 1 a and 1 b of this Opinion] either by production or
by continued operations . In the event that Subject Lease A remains valid , [Noble, as the
successor-in -interest to] Bayswater Blenheim Holdings I I , LLC and Bayswater Exploration &
Production, LLC [and the current working interest owner of Subject Lease A] , should ensure
that an Affidavit of Production is filed evidencing the extension of Subject Lease A beyond
its primary term .
In the event you determine that Subject Lease A is no longer a valid oil and gas lease, you
should attempt to obtain and record a new oil and gas lease from Larson Farms , LLC ,
covering its 100% mineral interest in [Tracts la and 1 b of this Opinion] . In this event, you
should also contact this office , together with all supporting documentation , for purposes of an
update to this Opinions

COMMENT BP : 191 (Uncertainty Regarding Validity of Subject Lease A - Sec. 24: pt. SE/4)
Subject Lease A, covering a 100% mineral interest in that portion of Section 24 lying east of the
center line of Crow Creek (including [Tract la] of this Opinion ), 192 expired on March 4 , 2013. As
noted above in Comment/Requirement XIII , Pursuant to Cola Rev. Stat. § 38 -42- 106 a lessee is
required to record within six months of an expiration date of the primary term of a producing oil
and gas lease an affidavit of lease extension regarding the producing lease in the records of the
office of the clerk and recorder in the county in which the producing lease is located .
If the lessee fails to record the affidavit accordingly, the recorded lease will cease to be constructive
notice to third parties and will otherwise lose the protection afforded by the lease and its owners
under the recording statutes. The materials examined for this Opinion did not include an affidavit of
lease extension for Subject Lease A. and the six month deadline in which to record an affidavit of
lease extension expired on September 3 , 2013 . In order to determine whether there were any wells
extending this lease beyond its primary term , the examiner reviewed the online records of the
COGCC records on January 26 , 2016 and found the following wells that are currently producing :

As identified above , all of these wellbores were spud , completed and producing prior to the
expiration of Subject Lease A' s primary to rm . Therefore, despite the absence of Affidavits of
Production for the producing wells above , the examiner presumes that Subject Lease A remains
valid and covers Larson Farm' s 100 % mineral interest in [Tract la] of this Opinion. The examiner
notes that the working interest in Subject Lease A in the captioned lands is [now owned by Noble . 1g5]
REQUIREMENT BP: Prior to operations , you should verify whether Subject Lease A
remains a valid oil and gas lease covering [Tract la of this Opinion] either by production or
by continued operations . In the event that Subject Lease A remains valid , [Noble, as the
successor-in-interest to] Bayswater Blenheim Holdings II , LLC and Bayswater Exploration &
Production, LLC [and the current working interest owner of Subject Lease A] , should ensure
that an Affidavit of Production is filed evidencing the extension of Subject Lease A beyond
its primary term _
In the event you determine that Subject Lease A is no longer a valid oil and gas lease, you
should attempt to obtain and record a new oil and gas lease from Larson Farms , LLC ,
covering its 100% mineral interest in [Tract la of this Opinion] . In this event, you should
also contact this office , together with all supporting documentation , for purposes of an update
to this Opinion .
[This Comment/Requirement is similar to Comment/Requirement F above from the
