KNOW ALL MEN BY THESE PRESENTS, THAT:
WHEREAS, the Colorado Mined Land Reclamation Act, C.R.S. 1973,

described in Exhibit A, attached hereto, and are referred to herein as the
"Affected Lands."
WHEREAS, in its application for the permit, the Operator has agreed

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

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

The Operator further promises the Board, pursuant to 34-32-112(1 ) (d)
of the Act, that it has the lawful authority to enter upon the Affected Lands
to conduct mining operations, including, but not limited to, reclamation.
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. The
obligation of the Operator hereunder shai : continue until released ih whole or
in part by the Board in accordance with applicable law.
In further satisfaction of the requirements of the Act, the Operator
has attached hereto its financial warranty, which may be amended from time to
time. The Operator agrees that it will maintain a financial warranty (or
warranties) for the estimated costs of reclamation in good standing for the
entire life of the permit.
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.
