WHEREAS, in its application for the permit, the Operator has agreed to be bound by all requirements of the Act and all applicable rules and regulations of the Board, as amended from time to time. WHEREAS, the Board has determined, in accordance with the Act, that the estimated costs of reclamation with regard to those affected lands in Weld County which are now or may become subject to the permit are those amounts for the stated periods of time as set forth in the financial warranty, which may be amended from time to time to reflect revised estimates of said costs of reclamation. WHEREAS, the Operator hereby gives the Board a performance warranty pursuant to Section 34-32-117(2) of the Act, and herein promises the Board that it will comply with all applicable requirements of the Act with regard to those Affected Lands.

The description of lands herein is for convenience of reference only, and no error in such description, nor any revision of the permitted mining area, nor the disturbance by the Warrantor of lands outside of the permitted mining area shall alter or diminish the Operator' s obligation hereunder, which shall extend to the reclamation of all such lands disturbed. The obligation of the Operator hereunder is such that, if the Operator shall successfully comply with the requirements of the Act, applicable rules and regulations, and the permit, then the Board, upon a finding that the Operator has so complied, shall release this performance warranty, and the Operator from its obligation hereunder, to the extent that the Board determines that such compliance has been accomplished.

If the Board determines that the Operator is in default under this performance warranty and has failed to cure such default, although written notice of such default and ample time to cure such default have been given, the Operator's financial warranty shall be subject to forfeiture. This performance warranty may be executed in multiple copies, each of which shall be treated as an original, but together they constitute only one agreement, the validity and interpretation of which shall be governed by the laws of the State of Colorado. The provisions hereof shall bind and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their successors and assigns. Signed and dated this 6th day of February , 1984.
