WELD COUNTY OIL AND GAS LEASE
(Small Tract)
THIS AGREEMENT, made and entered into this day of , 19 , by and between WELD COUNTY,
COLORADO, a political subdivision of the Sate of Colorado acting by and through the Board of County Commissioners
of the County of Weld, c/o Weld County Centennial Center, 915 10th Street, Greeley, CO 80631, hereinafter called
Lessor, and:
hereinafter called Lessee.
WITNESSETH, that Lessor, for and in consideration of the sum of
, cash in hand paid, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, and the
covenants and agreements hereinafter described, has granted, demised, leased and let, and by these presents does
grant, demise, lease and let exclusively unto the said Lessee, the land hereinafter described, with the exclusive
right for the purpose of mining, exploring by geophysical and other methods, and operating for and producing
therefrom; oil and all gas of whatsoever nature or kind, with rights of way and easement for laying pipe lines,
and erection of structures thereon to produce, save and take care of said products, all that certain tract of land
situated in the County of Weld, State of Colorado, described as follows, to wit:
Township North, Range West, 6th P.M.
Section
and containing acres, more or less.
1. It is agreed that the lease shall remain in force for a term of three (3) years from this date
and as long thereafter as oil or gas of whatsoever nature or kind is produced from said leased premises or on
acreage pooled therewith, or drilling operations are continued as hereinafter provided. If, at the expiration of
the primary term of this lease, oil or gas is not being produced on the leased premises or on acreage pooled
therewith but Lessee is then engaged in drilling or re-working operations thereon, then this lease shall continued
in force so long as operations are being continuously prosecuted on the leased premises or on acreage pooled
therewith; and operations shall be considered to be continuously prosecuted if not more than ninety (90) days shall
elapse between the completion or abandonment of one well and the beginning of operations for the drilling of a
subsequent well. If after discovery of oil or gas on said land or on acreage pooled therewith, the production
thereof should cease from any cause after the primary term, this lease shall not terminate if Lessee commences
additional drilling or re-working operations within ninety (90) days from date of cessation of production or from
date of completion of dry hole. If oil or gas shall be discovered and produced as a result of such operations;
at or after the expiration of the primary term of this lease, this lease shall continue in force so long as oil
or gas is produced from the leased premises or on acreage pooled therewith.
2. This is a PAID-UP LEASE. In consideration of the down cash payment, Lessor agrees that Lessee
shall not be obligated, except as otherwise provided herein, to commence or continue any operations during the
primary term. Lessee may at any time or times during or after the primary term surrender this lease as to all or
any portion of said land and as to any strata or stratum by delivering to Lessor or by filing for record a release
or releases, and be relieved of all obligation thereafter accruing as to the acreage surrendered.
3. In consideration of the premises the said Lessee covenants and agree to pay Lessor one-eighth
(1/8) of the proceeds received by Lessee, payable monthly, for the oil, gas and other hydrocarbons produced and
saved from the leased premises.
4. Where gas from a well capable of producing gas is not sold or used, Lessee may pay or tender as
royalty to Lessor One Dollar per year per net mineral acre owned by Lessor and covered by this lease, such payment
or tender to be made on or before the anniversary date of this lease next ensuing after the expiration of 90 days
from the date such well is shut in and thereafter on or before the anniversary date of this lease during the period
such well is shut in. If such payment or tender is made, it will be considered that gas is being produced within
the meaning of this lease.
5. If said Lessor owns less than the entire oil and gas fee simple estate in the above described
lands, then the royalties (including any shut-in gas royalty) herein provided for shall be paid the said Lessor
only in the proportion which Lessor's interest bears to the entire oil and gas mineral fee simple estate.

6. Lessee shall have the right to use, free of cost or royalty, gas, oil and water produced on said
land for Lessee's operations thereon, except water from the wells of Lessor.
7. When requested by Lessor, Lessee shall bury Lessee's pipe lines below plow depth.
8. No well shall be drilled nearer than 200 feet to any occupied building on said premises without
the written consent of Lessor.
9. Lessee shall have the right at any time to remove all of Lessee's machinery and fixtures placed
on said premises, including the right to draw and remove casing.
10. The rights of Lessor and Lessee hereunder may be assigned in whole or in part. No change in
ownership of Lessor's interest (by assignment or otherwise) shall be binding on Lessee until Lessee has been
furnished with notice, consisting of certified copies of all recorded instruments or documents and other
information necessary to establish a complete chain of record title from Lessor, and then only with respect to
payment thereafter made. No other kind of notice, whether actual or constructive, shall be binding upon Lessee.
No present or future division of Lessor's ownership as to difference portions or parcels of said land shall operate
to enlarge the obligations or diminish the rights of Lessee, and all Lessee's operations may be conducted without
regard to any such division. If all or any part of this lease is assigned, no leasehold owner shall be liable for
any act or omission of any other leasehold owner.
11. Lessee, at its option, is hereby given the right and power at any time and from time to time as
a recurring right, either before or after production, as to all or any part of the land described herein and as
to any one or more of the formations hereunder, to pool or unitize the leasehold estate and the mineral estate
covered by this lease with other land, lease or leases in the immediate vicinity for the production or oil and gas,
or separately for the production or either, when in Lessee's judgment it is necessary or advisable to do so, and
irrespective of whether authority similar to this exists with respect to such other land, lease or leases.
Likewise, units previously formed to include formations not producing oil or gas may be reformed to exclude such
non-producing formations. The forming or reforming of any unit shall be accomplished by Lessee executing and
filing of record a declaration of such unitization or reformation, which declaration shall describe the unit. Any
unit may include land upon which a well has theretofore been completed or upon which operations for drilling have
theretofore been commenced. Production, drilling or reworking operations or a well shut in for want of a market
anywhere on a unit which includes all or a part of this lease shall be treated as if it were production, drilling
or reworking operation or a well shut in for want of a market under this lease. In lieu of the royalties elsewhere
herein specified, including shut-in gas royalties, Lessor shall receive on production from the unit so pooled
royalties only on the portion of such production allocated to this lease; such allocation shall be that proportion
of the unit production that the total number of surface acres covered by this lease and included in the unit bear
to the total number of surface acres in such unit. In addition to the foregoing, lessee shall have the right to
unitize, pool or combine all or any part of the above described lands as to one or more of the formations
thereunder 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 impled, 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 or 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, be regarded as having been produced from the particular
tract of land to which it is allocated 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.
12. 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.

13. Lessor does not warrant title to the leased premises, but it shall, upon request, allow Lessee
access to such abstracts and other title papers as it has in its files. Lessee shall have the right at any time
to redeem for Lessor, by payment, any mortgages, taxes or other liens on the above described lands in the event
of a default of payment by Lessor, and be subrogated to the rights of the holder thereof.
14. Lessee shall indemnify Lessor against all liability and loss, and against all claims and actions,
including the defense of such claims or actions, based upon or arising out of damage or injury, including death,
to persons or property caused by or sustained in connection with operations on this leased land or by conditions
created thereby, or based upon any violation of any statute, ordinance or regulation.
15. Upon failure or default of Lessee to comply with any of the terms and provisions hereof including
but not limited to the failure to comply with laws, rules and regulations covering Colorado oil and gas operations,
Lessor is hereby authorized upon notice and hearing, as hereinafter provided, to cancel this lease as to all of
the leased land so claimed or possessed by Lessee hereunder. In the event of any such default or failure, Lessor
shall, before making any such cancellation, send to Lessee by certified mail, to the post office address of said
lessee as shown by the records of Lessor, a notice or intention to cancel for such failure or default, specifying
the same, stating that if within thirty (30) days from the date of mailing said notice, Lessee shall correct such
failure or default, no cancellation will be made. If such failure or default is not corrected with thirty (30)
days after the mailing of such notice, and if Lessee does not request a hearing on such notice within thirty (30)
days, this lease will terminate and be cancelled by operation of the paragraph without further action by Lessor,
or further notice to Lessee.
16. All of the provisions of this lease shall be binding upon the heirs, personal representatives,
successors and assigns of Lessor and Lessee.
17. Lessee shall not conduct operations of any kind upon the surface of the lands herein described
without the express written consent of Lessor.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, this instrument is executed as of the date first above written.

Dear Sirs :
On April 14 , 1993 the Weld County Attorney' s Office will recommend to
the Board of County Commissioners of Weld County, Colorado that the
Board consider adopting a new "Small Tract - Paid-Up" oil and gas lease
form to be used for leases of Weld County property being five acres or
less in size. A copy of the proposed lease form is enclosed.
Weld County currently has a policy of waiving the bidding procedures
for those tracts which are five acres or less in size. Such parcels
are required to have a minimum $200 royalty bonus . The proposed lease
form will correspond with the small tract leasing policy.
The Weld County Attorney' s Office is proposing the enclosed lease form
in order to simplify the leases for these small tracts .
Please be informed that the Board of County Commissioners will consider
the use of the "Small Tract - Paid-Up" oil and gas lease form at its
meeting at 9 a .m. on April 14, 1993 in the First Floor Meeting Room,
Weld County Centennial Center Complex, 915 Tenth Street, Greeley,
Colorado. Please feel free to be present at that meeting in order to
voice any thoughts which you may have regarding the use of the lease
form for leases being five acres or less in size.
If you should have any questions regarding this letter, please feel
free to call me at 356-4000, Extension 4389 .
'Very/truly yours,

Board of County Commissioners February 16, 1993
To Date
Bruce T. Barker, Assistant County Attorney
COLORADO From
s"b;ectRequest by Bill Crews to Change Weld County Oil &
Gas Lease
Attached as Exhibit "A" is a copy of Weld County's current Oil and
Gas Lease for all properties . This lease seems to have served the
County well and has not been altered or amended since May of 1991 .
It is based upon the oil and gas lease form used by the State of
Colorado.
As you may recall, Bill Crews asked the Board to waive its bidding
requirement for the property which he wishes to lease on behalf of
H & C Colton Company. Mr. Crews asked that his request be placed
on the agenda for January 18, 1993 . The total number of mineral
acres at issue is 3 . 717 .
Attached as Exhibit "B" is a copy of the lease form which Mr. Crews
proposes the County use for the lease to H & C Colton. Exhibit "B"
is almost identical to Weld County' s normal lease form, with the
exception that changes have been made to the assignments paragraph
(# 9 ) and the overriding royalty paragraph (# 10) has been
eliminated.
Attached as Exhibit "C" is a form which Mr. Crews would like to
have the County use on all tracts less than 40 acres in size.
I met with Mr. Crews on the afternoon of February 10, 1993 . I told
him that I would be happy to listen to his arguments as to why he
would like to see the changes made to the Weld County lease form.
Mr. Crews firmly believes that Weld County should adopt the "paid
up" lease form which is Exhibit "C" for all tracts less than 40
acres in size. He believes it provides considerable advantages in
terms of being able to deal with small acreages in a much more
efficient manner.
After talking with Mr. Crews on February 10, I realized that his
proposed changes will take hours of work to consider. I talked
with Tom David, County Attorney, about the amount of time which
would be involved in the change of Weld County's lease form. Tom
agreed with me in my assessment that we should not change one lease
form for Mr. Crews without changing the lease form across the board
for all oil and gas lessees . Tom and I are both interested in
spending time on the lease form to make sure it is adequate for all
of Weld County' s oil and gas leasing needs; however, our department
930315
Board of County Commissioners
Page 2
February 16, 1993
currently does not have the time to spend on this endeavor.
Mr. Crews would like to have the form changed within three weeks .
We do not believe that is possible given our current time
constraints .
Mr. Crews also mentions that Weld County leased property to Eddy
Oil Company in September, 1989, using the "Producer' s 88-Paid Up"
lease form. Attached as Exhibit "D" is a copy of that lease. I am
not entirely certain how Weld County agreed to the lease and the
use of that form. Mr. Crews would like the Board to believe that
by using the form on that one occasion in 1989 Weld County locked
itself into using the form for all properties of like size in the
future. I strongly recommend that the Board refrain from using any
form for Mr. Crews other than the one which we use for all lessees
(Exhibit "A" ) . There will be ample time in the future for the
County Attorney' s Office to review the Weld County lease form with
the generous assistance of Mr. Crews and personnel from other
companies in the area.

not interfere with rights granted herein.
In consideration of the premises, the parties covenant and agree as follows:

Lessee shall pay to lessor the sum of One Dollar ($1.00) per acre for the land covered hereby as delayed

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, 12.55 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.
R. On gas, including casinghead gas or other gaseous substance, 12.55 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.

records shall be retained by Lessee and made available in Colorado to Lessor for a period of not less than
five years.
4. MEASUREMENTS - All production shall be accurately measured using standards established by the American Gas
Association (AGA) and/or the American Petroleum Institute (API) and all measuring devices shall be

actual and accurate measurements within API standards unless a different means of measurement, subject to
Lessor's approval, is provided.

payments and reports are due. Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to extend the expiration of the
primary term hereof.
Oil royalty payments and supporting documents shall be submitted prior to the last day of the month following

operations in Colorado. Violations shall result in penalties as provided for by law or as set forth in the
aforementioned schedule or shall, at the option of Lessor, result in default as provided hereinafter.

effective until Lessee shall have made full provision for conservation of the leased products and protection
of the surface rights of the leased land.
(Revised 5/91) 3 930315
9. ASSIGNMENTS -
A. Lessee, with prior written consent of Lessor, shall have the right to assign the entire leasehold
interest of said Lessee in all or part of the land covered hereby, but not less, however, than
contiguous tracts of approximately forty (40) acres or Governmental lot corresponding to a quarter-
quarter section for any partial assignment, and for approval of such assignment Lessor shall make an
assignment charge in an amount to be determined by Lessor. Prior to written approval by Lessor of
assignment of this lease, Lessee (assignor) shall not be relieved of its obligations under the terms
and conditions herein. An assignment shall not extend the term of this lease.
B. If any assignment of a portion of the land covered hereby shall be approved, a new lease shall be issued
to the assignee covering the assigned land, containing the same terms and conditions as this lease, and
limited as to term as this lease is limited, and the assignor shall be released and discharged from all
further obligations and liabilities as to that portion so assigned.
C. Lessee shall notify Lessor of all assignments of undivided percentage or other interests. 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. OVERRIDING ROYALTY - Any and all reservations or assignments or overriding royalties shall be subject to
approval by Lessor. The total of said overriding royalties shall not exceed five percent (5%), including
any overriding royalty previously provided for unless production exceeds a monthly average of fifteen (15)
barrels per day or ninety thousand cubic feet of gas per day (90 MCF/D). In the event production drops to
this amount or less, any overriding royalties which exceed five percent (5%) may be suspended. Lessor's
approval of a reservation or assignment of an overriding royalty shall not bind Lessor for payment of said
overriding royalty and shall not relieve Lessee of any of its obligations for payment of royalties to Lessor
as provided by ROYALTY paragraphs herein.
11. 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.
12. DEVELOPMENT - Upon discovery of oil and gas or either of them on the leased land, Lessee shall proceed with
reasonable diligence to develop said land at a rate and to an extent commensurate with the economic
development of the field in which the leased land lies.

operations shall be considered to be continuously prosecuted if not more than ninety(90)days shall elapse between

If after discovery of oil or gas on said land or on acreage pooled therewith, the production thereof should cease

dry hole. If oil or gas shall be discovered and produced as a result of such operations; at or after the expiration
of the primary term of this lease,this lease shall continue in force so long as oil or gas is produced from the leased

on said land, the equal one-eighth(1/8) part of all oil produced and saved from the leased premises. Lessee may

for the gas from each well where gas only is found,while the same is being used off the premises, and if used in
the manufacture of gasoline a royalty of one-eighth(1/8),payable monthly at the prevailing market rate for gas,
but in no case shall such market rate be deemed more than Lessee actually receives from the sale of such gas.
3rd. To pay Lessor for gas produced from any oil well and used off the premises or in the manufacture
of gasoline or any other product a royalty of one-eighth(1/8) of the proceeds received by Lessee from the sale of
such gas.
4. Where gas from a well capable of producing gas is not sold or used,Lessee may pay or tender as royalty
to Lessor One Dollar per year per net mineral acre owned by Lessor and covered by this lease, such payment or
tender to me made on or before the anniversary date of this lease next ensuing after the expiration of 90 days from
the date such well is shut in and thereafter on or before the anniversary date of this lease during the period such
well is shut in. If such payment or tender is made, it will be considered that gas is being produced within the
meaning of this lease.
5. If said Lessor owns a less interest in the above described land than the entire and undivided fee simple
estate therein,then the royalties(including any shut-in gas royalty)herein provided for shall be paid the said Lessor
only in the proportion which Lessor's interest bears to the whole and undivided fee.
6. Lessee shall have the right to use, free of cost, gas,oil and water produced on said land for Lessee's
operations thereon, except water from the wells of Lessor.

furnished with notice,consisting of certified copies of all recorded instruments or documents and other information
necessary to establish a complete chain of record title from Lessor, and then only with respect to payment
thereafter made. No other kind of notice, whether actual or constructive, shall be binding upon Lessee. No
present or future division of Lessor's ownership as to difference portions or parcels of said land shall operate to
enlarge the obligations or diminish the rights of Lessee, and all Lessee's operations may be conducted without

act or omission or any other leasehold owner.

one or more of the formations hereunder,to pool or unitize the leasehold estate and the mineral estate covered
by this lease with other land, lease or leases in the immediate vicinity for the production or oil and gas, or
separately for the production or either, when in Lessee;s judgment it is necessary or advisable to do so, and
irrespective of whether authority similar to this exists with respect to such other land, lease or leases. Likewise,
units previously formed to include formations not producing oil or gas may be reformed to exclude such non-
producing formations. The forming or reforming of any unit shall be accomplished by Lessee executing and filing
of record a declaration of such unitization or reformation,which declaration shall describe the unit. Any unit may
include land upon which a well has theretofore been completed or upon which operations for drilling have
theretofore been commenced. Production,drilling or reworking operations or a well shut in for want of a market
anywhere on a unit which includes all or a part of this lease shall be treated as if it were production, drilling or
reworking operation or a well shut in for want of a market under this lease. In lieu of the royalties elsewhere
herein specified,including shut-in gas royalties,Lessor shall receive on production from the unit so pooled royalties
only on the portion of such production allocated to this lease; such allocation shall be that proportion of the unit
2

production that the total number of surface acres covered by this lease and included in the unit bear to the total
number of surface acres in such unit. In addition to the foregoing,lessee shall have the right to unitize,pool or
combine all or any part of the above described lands as to one or more of the formations thereunder 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 impled, 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 or 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,be regarded as having been produced from the particular tract of land to which it is allocated
an 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.
13. 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.
14. Lessor does not warrant title to the leased premises,but it shall,upon request, allow Lessee access to
such abstracts and other title papers as it has in its files. Lessee shall have the right at any time to redeem for
Lessor, by payment, any mortgages,taxes or other liens on the above described lands in the event of a default of
payment by Lessor, and be subrogated to the rights of the holder thereof.

and assigns of Lessor and Lessee.
