Arries Weld County Attorney's Office P. O. Box 758 Greeley, CO 80632 Re: Weld County Properties Schenk wells Located in Section 35 Weld County, Colorado Dear Ms. Arries: Pursuant to your several requests for ownership breakdown of the Schenk wells, I am enclosing a spreadsheet that provides well names, spacing unit information, mineral interest information, royalty interest information and the calculations as to how Weld County's RI was derived. Please note that the yellow highlight will be on the lines under which Weld County owns a MI/RI; the pink highlight will be used on the lines under which Weld County DOES NOT OWN a MI/RI; and the blue highlight will be used on the lines under which we have recently ordered new title opinions or under which another company is to provide title opinions to Noble. This should be helpful to you for your use In determining your RI in future wells in Section 35, too. If you have any questions, or if you require additional information, please do not hesitate to contact the undersigned at the letterhead address, or by calling 303-228- 4287, or via email at Ijohnson@nobleenergvinc.com.

Others in your company have provided the County with the title information. Weld County has historical information for its interest in the NW and NE quarters of Section 35, but nothing which verifies its interest in the SW or SE quarters of Section 35.

First sales occurred February 13, 2008. According to our records, the interest shown above represents your total share of production. Noble will tender payment to you based upon the stated interest UNLESS you notify Noble, in writing, that said interest is incorrect or that you are not the owner of said interest. As the owner of the above interest, you shall have the sole liability to notify Noble, in writing, of any address changes and/or changes in ownership. Until such written notification is received by Noble, payments will continue as previously described. For your information, Noble makes revenue disbursements on a monthly basis. Please be advised, however, that payments are made upon accrual of twenty five dollars ($25.00) for all of the properties paid to you by our company or annually, on amounts less than twenty five dollars ($25.00). You are currently being paid the same interest on other wells within this same spacing, therefore, please be advised that Noble does not require a signed Division Order as a prerequisite for payment. This Payment Letter is intended to replace the traditional division order form and should be retained for your records.
