Drilling or reworking operations shall be deemed to be diligently performed if there is no delay or cessation thereof for a greater period than sixty consecutive days unless an extension in ' writing is granted by Lessor; provided that such drilling or reworking operations are commenced during said primary term or any extension thereof or while this lease is in force by reason of production of oil and gas or either of them, or that such reworking is commenced within sixty days upon cessation of production for the purpose of re-establishing the same, and provided further that such production is commenced during such primary term or any extension thereof, or while this lease is in force by reason of such drilling or reworking operations or other production. (Rev. 2/85) EXPLORATION - Lessor reserves the right to conduct exploration on the leased land provided such exploration does not interfere with rights granted herein. In consideration of the premises, the parties covenant and agree as follows: 1. RENTAL - If this lease is extended for an additional term as provided for in the EXTENSION paragraph hereof, Lessee shall during such extended period pay to lessor an annual rental at double the rate above specified for the land covered hereby. The rental in effect at the time production is established shall not be increased due to the term of this lease being extended by such production. Rentals set at the time of established production shall be paid during the remaining life of this lease, annually, in advance, on or before each anniversary date hereof. There shall be no refund of unused rental. 2. ROYALTY - Lessee shall account for any and all substances produced on the leased land and Lessee shall pay to Lessor as royalty, in addition to the rentals provided, but except for products used on the leased land, unavoidably lost or flared on the leased land, with approval of Lessor, the following: (a) On oil, 21% of the oil produced and saved from the leased land. At the option of Lessor, and with sixty (60) days' notice to Lessee, Lessor may take its royalty oil in kind, in which event Lessee shall deliver such royalty oil to Lessor on the leased land, free of cost or deduction, into the pipelines or storage tanks designated by Lessor, but Lessee shall not in such case be required to provide free tankage for any such oil for a longer period than one month after the same is run into tanks. With sixty (60) days' notice to Lessee, Lessor may cease taking oil royalty in kind. When paid in cash, the royalty shall be calculated upon the fair market value of the oil at the well which shall not be deemed to be less than the price actually paid to Lessee at the well by the purchaser thereof; and in no event shall the royalties be based upon a market value at the well less than the posted price in the field for such oil, or in the absence of a posted price in the field for such oil, upon a market value at the well less than the prevailing price received by other producers in the field for oil of like grade and gravity at the time such oil is run into pipelines or storage tanks. (b) On gas, including casinghead gas or other gaseous substance, 21% of the fair market value at the well or of the price received by Lessee at the well, whichever is greater, of all gas produced and sold from the leased land or utilized off the land by Lessee. A copy of all contracts for sale of gas shall be furnished to Lessor. Where gas is sold under contract that has been approved by Lessor, the fair market value of such gas for determining the royalties payable hereunder shall be the price at which such gas is sold under such contract. No approval by Lessor of the terms of any such agreement shall operate to make Lessor a party thereto or obligate it thereunder in any way. At the option of Lessor, and with sixty (60) days' notice to Lessee, Lessor may take its royalty in kind. With sixty (60) days' notice to Lessee, Lessor may cease taking gas royalty in kind. (c) All costs of marketing the oil and/or gas produced shall be borne by Lessee and such costs shall not directly or indirectly reduce the royalty payments to Lessor. Except that marketing costs for Lessor's in-kind royalty shall be borne by Lessor. (d) If Lessor owns a lesser interest in the oil and gas deposits of the above-described land than the entire and undivided fee simple estate, then the royalties and rentals herein provided shall be paid to Lessor only in the portion which its interest bears to the whole and undivided fee, but no refund of any bonus consideration shall be made by Lessor hereunder.

Said interests will not be recognized or approved by Lessor, and the effect of any such assignments will be strictly and only between the parties thereto, and outside the terms of this lease: and no dispute between parties to any such assignment shall operate to relieve Lessee from performance of any terms or conditions hereof or to postpone the time therefor. Lessor shall at all times be entitled to look solely to Lessee or his assignee shown on its books as being the sole owner hereof, and for the sending of all notices required by this lease and for the performance of all terms and conditions hereof. (d) Although not binding on Lessor, all instruments of every kind and nature whatsoever affecting this lease should be filed with the Lessor. 10.

OFFSET WELLS - Lessee agrees to protect the leased land from drainage by offset wells located on adjoining lands not owned by Lessor, when such drainage is not compensated for by counter-drainage. It shall be presumed that the production of oil and gas from offset wells results in drainage from the leased land, unless Lessee demonstrates to Lessor's satisfaction, by engineering, geological, or other data, that production from such offset well does not result in such drainage, or that the drilling of a well or wells on the leased land would not accomplish the purposes of protecting the deposits under the leased land. Lessor's decision as to the existence of such drainage shall be final, and Lessee shall comply with Lessor's order thereon or surrender this lease as to any such undeveloped acreage as designated by Lessor.

Lessee shall be responsible for adequate site security on all producing properties. 15. SHUT-IN WELLS - If Lessee shall complete a well on the leased land productive of gas and Lessee is unable to produce such gas due to a lack of suitable market therefor, Lessor may grant Lessee suspension of his obligations to produce hereunder until a suitable market for such gas can be found, and during any such suspension period, it shall be deemed that gas is being produced hereunder in paying quantities. Except, however, that beginning on the anniversary date next, of the year of an extension of the lease by reason of a shut-in well, Lessee shall pay to Lessor a shut-in royalty equal to $2 per acre of the lease per annum in addition to the annual rental.

It has come to our attention that several small tracts of land (minerals included) actually belong to Weld County and we are now seeking to lease those tracts. Please see the photo- copies enclosed of the four tracts involved which include the complete legal descriptions of record. There are 4.7694 acres total, more or less, that we wish to lease. We are requesting that this proposal be made a part of the September 9th Commissioner's meeting. We would sincerely appreciate immediate attention to this matter in order that we might go ahead with our drilling schedule. We understand that ordinarily land that is not leased is put up for open bidding but that we may request that this be waived. We now request that open bidding be waived in this case as we have the adjacent acreage leased which creates the 80 acre spaced units required by the State Oil and Gas Commission. Copies of the leases for the adjacent tracts of land will be provided at the meeting if required. We understand that having someone present at the meeting who represents our interest will help facilitate the leasing procedure. We will have some one present who also can negotiate terms on the lease and have it executed at that time if possible. Our leasing structure at this time allows us to take shorter term leases rather than your usual 3 year term and therefore hopefully we can negotiate an appropriate bonus consideration as well as royalty. Thank you for your time. We will sincerely appreciate your assistance and prompt attention to this matter. Sincerely, -:•‘k,';'kyi ST. MICHAEL EXPLORATION Co. Sst'Art Cynthia J. Olejniczak AglYld L0.
