Dear Mr..Barker:
As discussed,;Bonanza Creek Operating Compai#y as.an actives drilling program to develop our leasehold

2. SEJ4 Section 15,T5N,R61°t ,recorded August 18,.2003,.#3096556;and
3, SEJ4 Section 22,TSN,R61W,recorded August 18,2003,#3096558'
On:June 28,2006:we forwarded to Mr. Lee Morrison,Assistant.County Attorney for Weld County,three
(3)separate requests and checks covering the above referenced leasee for a six (6)month extension as
provided for in Article 24 of the oil_and gas leases.
Unfortunately,the timing of our development:drilling program has been:delayed due to the high demand
for drilling rigs and the aforementioned six-month extension will not provide adequate time to allow us to
develop all three leases.
To allow us the necessary tiuteto.properly slale•astr drilling program and obtain the necessary
drilling rigs,it is.requested-that Weld County grant a one-year extension to the aforementioned
.leases..
Your consideration regarding this request will be greatly appreciated. Should you have any questions,
please call me at 661-638-2730,x204 or Monica Ward Killer at x205.
