referred to may be made in currency, or check at the option of the Lessee; and the depositing of such currency, or
check in any post office, properly addressed to the Lessor, on or before the rental paying date, shall be deemed pay-
ment as herein provided. The down cash payment is consideration for the lease according to its terms and shall not
he allocated as mere rental for a period. Lessee may at any time execute and deliver to Lessor or place of record
a release or releases covering any portion or portions of the above described premises and thereby surrender this
lease as to such portion or portions and be relieved of all obligations as to the acreage surrendered, and thereafter
the rentals payable hereunder shall be reduced in the proportion that the acreage covered hereby is reduced by said
release or releases.
5. Should any well drilled on the above described land during the primary term before production is obtained be
a dry hole, or should production be obtained during the primary term and thereafter cease, then and in either event,
if operations for drilling an additional well are not commenced or operations for reworking an old well are not pur-
sued on said land on or before the first rental paying date next succeeding the cessation of production or drilling
or reworking on said well or wells, then this lease shall terminate unless Lessee, on or before said date, shall re-
sume the payment of rentals. Upon resumption of the payment of rental, Section 4 governing the payment of rentals,
shall continue in force Just as though there had been no interruption in the rental payments. If during the last year
of the primary term and prior to the discovery of oil, gas, or other hydrocarbons on said land Lessee should drill a
dry hole thereon, or -if after discovery of oil, gas or other hydrocarbons before or during the last year of the
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
lease neverthelessshall continue in force as long as such drilling or reworking operations continue, or if, after the
expiration of the primary term, production on this lease shall cease, this lease nevertheless shall continue in force
if drilling or reworking operations are commenced within sixty (60) days after such cessation of production; if pro-
duction is restored or additional production is discovered as a result of any such drilling or reworking operations.
conducted without cessation of more than sixty (60) days, this lease shall continue as long thereafter as oil, gas,
other hydrocarbons or other mineral is produced and as long as additional drilling or reworking operations are had
without cessation of such drilling or reworking operations for more than sixty (60) consecutive days.
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
(4O) acres, for oil, and not exceeding six hundred and forty (640) acres, plus an acreage tolerance of ten per cent
(10:.) 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 thjs 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
declaration of unitization shall not become effective until the first day of the calendar month next following the
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
with other lands in the same general area by entering into a cooperative or unit plan of development or operation
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
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
be satisfied by compliance with the drilling and development requirements of such plan or agreement, and this lease
shall not terminate or expire during the life of such plan or agreement. In the event that said above described
lands or any part thereof, shall hereafter be operated under any such cooperative or unit plan of development or
operation whereby the production therefrom is allocated to different portions of the land covered by said plan, then
the production allocated to any particular tract of land shall, for the purpose of computing the royalties to be
paid hereunder to Lessor, he 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
upon request of Lessee.
8. Lessee shall have the right at any time without Lessor's consent to surrender all or any portion of the
leased premises and be relieved of all obligation as to the acreage surrendered. Lessee shall have the right at
any time during or after the expiration of this lease to remove all property and fixtures placed by Lessee on said
land, including the right to draw and remove all casing. When required by Lessor, Lessee will bury all pipe lines
below ordinary plow depth, and no well shall be drilled within two hundred (200) feet of any residence or barn now
on said land without Lessor's consent. The Lessee agrees to promptly pay to the owner thereof any damages to crops,
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.
9. The rights of either party hereunder may be assigned, in whole or in part, and the provisions hereof shall
extend to the heirs, successors and assigns of the parties hereto, but no change or division in ownership of the land,
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
portion of said land, the rentals payable hereunder shall be apportionable among the several leasehold owners ratably
according to the surface area of each, and default in rental payment by one shall not affect the rights of other lease-
hold owners hereunder. In case Lessee assigns this lease, in whole or in part, Lessee shall be relieved of all obli-
gations with respect to the assigned portion or portions arising subsequent to the date of assignment.
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
damages, for failure to comply therewith, if compliance is prevented by, or if such failure is the result of, any
such Law, Order, 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 be binding upon the parties hereto,
their heirs, administrators, successors and assigns.

Re: Oil and Gas Lease
Dear Commissioners:
Please let this letter serve as a request on behalf of Cache Exploration,
Inc., a Colorado Corporation, to waive your normal bid procedures concerning a
parcel of land upon which Cache Exploration, Inc., desires to have a lease. The
property involved is .570 acres located in the East 1/2 of the Northwest Quarter
of Section 25, Township 6 North, Range 66 West of the 6th P.M. (southeast of
Seeleys Lake). The highlights of the lease, the original and 1 copy of which is
attached to this letter include the payment of a $125.00 per acre bonus, a 1 year
term and a 20 percent royalty. We consider these terms to be quite favorable
as it is expected that production will commence upon this property in the very
near future.
The reason that we request a waiver of the bid procedure is the fact that
Cache Exploration, Inc., has leased all other property in the east half of the
above described quarter section. Additionally, this land is going to be drilled
upon a 40 acre spacing and the 1/2 acre which the county owns cannot be drilled
upon. Finally, the .570 acre is a narrow strip of land constituting a curve along
County Road 66.
We hope that the attached lease and its terms are acceptable to you and
we thank you for your consideration and cooporation in this matter.
Very truly yo
