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
land and to permit Lessor, at all reasonable hours, to examine the same, or to furnish copies of
same to Lessor upon request along with purchaser's support documentation. Lessor will not be
unreasonable with requests. All said books and records shall be retained by Lessee and made
available in enlnrarin to I ecsnr fnr a narinti of not lose than five voarc

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.

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.
6. PENALTIES -A penalty shall be imposed for, but not limited to late payments, improper payments,
operational deficiencies, violation of any covenant of this lease, or false statements made to Lessor.

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 notice. Said schedule
may be changed from time to time after public notice.

rules, regulations, orders, local ordinances or resolutions applicable to and binding upon the
administration of lands and minerals owned by the County of Weld, and to laws, rules and
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 no partial surrender or cancellation of this lease shall be for less than
contiguous tracts of approximately forty (40) acres or Governmental lot corresponding to a quarter-
quarter section; provided further 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, with prior written consent of Lessor, shall have the right to assign the entire leasehold
interest of said Lessee in all, or part of, the land covered hereby, but not less, however, than
contiguous tracts of approximately forty (40) acres or Governmental lot corresponding to a
quarter-quarter section for any partial assignment, and for approval of such assignment Lessor
shall make an assignment charge in an amount to be determined by Lessor. 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
casing to protect the fresh water wells of the area.
18. NOTIFICATION - Lessee shall notify Lessor and the surface lessee or surface owner of the location
of each drill site at least two weeks prior to commencing drilling operations thereon. Lessee shall
notify Lessor before commencing to plug and abandon any well by copy of Lessee's request for
approval or sundry notice of intent to plug and abandon.
19. BONDS - Lessee shall be liable for all damages to the surface of the land, livestock, growing crops,
water wells, reservoirs, or improvements caused by Lessee's operations on said land. No

operations shall be commenced on the land hereinabove described unless and until Lessee shall
have filed a good and sufficient bond with Lessor, in an amount to be fixed by Lessor, to secure 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 thirty (30) 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 thirty
(30) days after the mailing of such notice, and if Lessee does not request a hearing on such notice
within thirty (30) days, this lease will terminate and be canceled by operation of this paragraph
without further action by Lessor, or further notice to Lessee.
24. EXTENSION -If Lessee fails to make discovery of oil and gas, or either of them, in paying quantities
during the primary term hereof, or during drilling operations commenced during the primary term
hereof, Lessee may make written application to Lessor for an extension of this lease. The granting
of such extension shall be at the sole option of Lessor, according to the following conditions:
A. No lease term will be extended for more than six(6) months from the original expiration date.

rental for the term of the extension.
D. That the royalty will remain the same.
25. HOLD HARMLESS - Lessee shall indemnify Lessor against all liability and loss, and against all
claims and actions, including the defense of such claims or actions, based upon or arising out of
damage or injury, including death, to persons or property caused by or sustained in connection with

shall automatically terminate as of the date of taking. The award for such condemnation shall be
paid to Lessor, except for any specific award(s) paid to Lessee for severed oil and gas reserves, 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,
Lessor may, at its option, terminate this lease or terminate only that portion of the lease so taken.
27. ERRORS - Every effort is made by Lessor to avoid errors in all procedures including but not limited
to auction listings and lease preparation. Lessor shall not be liable for any inconvenience or loss
caused by errors which may occur. Lessee shall notify Lessor immediately upon discovery of any
errors or discrepancy whatsoever.
28. ARCHAEOLOGY - Lessee shall not destroy, disturb, mar, collect, remove or alter any prehistoric or
