primary term the production thereof should cease during the last year of said term from any cause, no rental payment
or operations are necessary in order to keep the lease in force during the remainder of the primary term. If, at the
expiration of the primary term, Lessee is conducting operations for drilling a new well or reworking an old well, this

6. Lessee,at its option, is hereby given the right-and power to pool or combine the land covered by this lease,
or any portion thereof, as to oil and gas, or either of them, with any other land lease or leases when in Lessee's
judgment it is necessary or advisable to do so in order to properly develop and operate said premises, such pooling to
be into a well unit or units not exceeding forty (40) acres, plus an acreage tolerance of ten per cent (10%) of forty
(40) acres, for oil, and not exceeding six hundred and forty (640) acres, plus an acreage tolerance of ten per cent
(lot) of six hundred and forty (640) acres, for gas, except that larger units may be created to conform to any spacing
or well unit pattern that may be prescribed by governmental authorities having jurisdiction. Lessee may pool or com-
bine acreage covered by this lease, or any portion thereof, as above provided, as to oil or gas in any one or more
strata, and units so formed need not conform in size or area with the unit or units into which the lease is pooled or
combined as to any other stratum or strata, and oil units need not conform as to area with gas units. The pooling in

one or more instances shall not exhaust the rights of the Lessee hereunder to pool this lease or portions thereof into
other units, Lessee shall execute in writing and place of record an instrument or instruments identifying and describ-
ing the pooled acreage. The entire acreage so pooled into a unit shall be treated for all purposes, except the payment
of royalties, as if it were included in this lease, and drilling or reworking operations thereon or production of oil
or gas therefrom, or the completion thereon of a well as a shut-in gas well, shall be considered for all purposes,
except the payment of royalties, as if such operations were on or such production were from or such completion were
on the land covered by this lease, whether or not the well or wells be located on the premises covered by this lease.
In lieu of the royalties elsewhere herein specified, Lessor shall receive from a unit so formed, only such portion of
the royalty stipulated herein as the amount of his acreage placed in the unit or his royalty interest therein bears
to the total acreage so pooled in the particular unit involved. Should any unit as originally created hereunder con-
tain less than the maximum number of acres hereinabove specified, then Lessee may at any time thereafter, whether
before or after production is obtained on the unit, enlarge such unit by adding additional acreage thereto, but the
enlarged unit shall in no event exceed the acreage content hereinabove specified. In the event an existing unit is
so enlarged, Lessee shall execute and place of record a supplemental declaration of unitization identifying and
describing the land added to the existing unit; provided, that if such supplemental declaration of unitization is not
filed until after production is obtained on the unit as originally created, then and in such event the supplemental
U, declaration of unitization shall not become effective until the first day of the calendar month next following the
,? CJ filing thereof. In the absence of production Lessee may terminate any unitized area by filing of record notice of
".•• termination.
`_ 7. Lessee also shall have the right to unitize, pool , or combine all or any part of the above described lands
C
with other lands in the same general area by entering into a cooperative or unit plan of development or operation
A approved by any governmental authority and, from time to time, with like approval, to modify, change or terminate
any such plan or agreement and, in such event, the terms, conditions, and provisions of this lease shall be deemed
IL
• 3 modified to conform to the terms, conditions, and provisions of such approved cooperative or unit plan of development
or operation and, particularly, all drilling and development requirements of this lease, express or implied, shall
s be satisfied by compliance with the drilling and development requirements of such plan or agreement, and this lease
' Ls! shall not terminate or expire during the life of such plan or agreement. In the event that said above described
Rlands or any part thereof, shall hereafter be operated under any such cooperative or unit plan of development or
O operation whereby the production therefrom is allocated to different portions of the land covered by said plan, then
it the production allocated to any particular tract of land shall, for the purpose of computing the royalties to be
ix paid hereunder to Lessor, be regarded as having been produced from the particular tract of land to which it is al-
located and not to any other tract of land and the royalty payments to be made hereunder to Lessor shall be based
upon production only as so allocated. Lessor shall formally express Lessor's consent to any cooperative or unit
• plan of development or operation adopted by Lessee and approved by any governmental agency by executing the same
,e upon request of Lessee.
N _ 8. Lessee shall have the right at any time without Lessor's consent to surrender all or any portion of the
03 U leased premises and be relieved of all obligation as to the acreage surrendered. Lessee shall have the right at
rr z any time during or after the expiration of this lease to remove all property and fixtures placed by Lessee on said
v F-' land, including the right to draw and remove all casing. When required by Lessor, Lessee will bury all pipe lines
W below ordinary plow depth, and no well shall be drilled within two hundred (200) feet of any residence or barn now

or improvements, caused by or resulting from any operations of Lessee. All disturbed portions of surface land are
to be returned to original condition within time designated by Lessor.
Nu! 9. The rights of either party hereunder may be assigned, in whole or in part, add the provisions hereof shall
G extend to the heirs, successors and assigns of the parties hereto, but no change or division in ownership of the land,
Z rentals, or royalties, however accomplished, shall operate to enlarge the obligations or diminish the rights of Lessee.
No change in the ownership of the land or any interest therein, shall be binding on Lessee until Lessee shall be
furnished with a certified copy of all recorded instruments, all court proceedings and all other necessary evidence
�. of any transfer, inheritance, or sale of said rights. In event of the assignment of this lease as to a segregated
oce
cc portion of said land, the rentals payable hereunder shall be apportionable among the several leasehold owners ratably
'Q according to the surface area of each, and default in rental payment by one shall not affect the rights of other lease-
hold Y owners hereunder. 'In case Lessee assigns this lease, in whole or in part, Lessee shall be relieved of all obli-
i^ w gations with respect to the assigned portion or portions arising subsequent to the date of assignment.
rrn
T
0 .- 10. All express or implied covenants of this lease shall be subject to all Federal and State Laws, Executive
Orders, Rules or Regulations, and this lease shall not be terminated, in whole or in part, nor Lessee held liable in
(14 damages, for failure to comply therewith, if compliance is prevented by, or if such failure is the result of, any
such Law, Oder, Rule or Regulation, or if prevented by an act of God, of the public enemy, labor disputes, inability
- to obtain material, failure of transportation, or other cause beyond the control of Lessee.
If during the term of this lease, oil or gas or other hydrocarbons is discovered upon the leased premises, but
Lessee is prevented from producing the same by reason of any of the causes set out in this Section, this lease shall
nevertheless be considered as producing and shall continue in full force and effect until Lessee is permitted to pro-
duce the oil, gas and other hydrocarbons, and as long thereafter as such production continues in paying quantities
or drilling or reworking operations are continued as elsewhere herein provided.
11. Lessor does not warrant title to said real estate or to the mineral interests in said real estate, however,
it is agreed that if Lessor owns less than 100% of the minerals, then, and in that event, the royalties and rentals to
be paid Lessor shall be reduced proportionately.
12. Not withstanding in a provision of this lease to the contrary, no operations shall be conducted on the above
described land without the written consent of the Lessor.
13, Upon the termination of this lease in whole or in part by election or by failure to make payments as afore-
said, Lessee or its assigns shall within thirty (30) days release by written instrument the land or portion thereof
which said lease terminates, and said notice shall also be sent to Lessor giving the book and page number of said
lease. It is expressly understood that this lease is subject to and controlled by any law of the State of Colorado
now in effect restricting or limiting the powers of counties or boards of county commissioners, and any provision
herein in conflict therewith shall be inoperative and void.
14. All of the provisions of this lease shall inure to the benefit of and he binding upon the parties hereto,
