operations shall be deemed to be diligently performed if there is no delay or cessation thereof for
a greater period than sixty (60) 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 (60) 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.
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 - 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

surrendered.
2. ROYALTY PROVISIONS:
A. Lessee Responsible for All Costs/Expenses: Lessee shall account for any and all
substances produced on the leased land and shall pay to Lessor as royalty, in addition
to the rentals provided, the royalties described in paragraphs B through E below, which
shall be free of all costs of any kind. In this regard, Lessee agrees to bear one hundred
percent (100%) of all costs and expenses incurred in rendering hydrocarbons
produced on or from the Leased Premises marketable and delivering the same into
the purchaser's pipeline for immediate transportation to an end user or storage facility.
If a gas purchase contract makes any deductions for the expenses of dehydrating,
transporting, compressing, manufacturing, processing, treating, gathering or
marketing of such gas, then such deductions shall be added to the price received by
Lessee for such gas for the purpose of the payment of royalties to Lessor. Additionally,
royalties payable to Lessor shall never bear, either directly or indirectly, under any
circumstances, the costs or expenses (including depreciation) to construct, repair,
renovate or operate any pipeline, plant, or other facilities or equipment used in
connection with the treating, separation, extraction, gathering, processing, refining,
transporting, manufacturing or marketing of hydrocarbons produced from the Leased
Premises or lands pooled therewith. It is the intent of the parties that the provisions of
this Paragraph 2 are to be fully effective and enforceable.

B. Royalty Payment on Products: On products, Lessee shall pay Lessor a royalty
payment of twenty-two and one-half percent (22.5%) of the gross market value or
proceeds of sale thereof, whichever is higher.
C. Royalty Payment on Residue Gas: On residue gas or gas remaining after separation,
extraction or processing operations, Lessee shall pay Lessor twenty-two and one-half
percent (22.5%) of the proceeds of sale or of the market value thereof, whichever is
higher.
D. Royalty Payment on Oil: 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, Lessee shall pay Lessor for oil produced and saved
from the leased land, twenty-two and one-half percent (22.5%) the market value of the
oil at the wellhead, or the price actually paid to Lessee at the well by the purchaser
thereof, whichever is higher; 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.
E. No Refund of Bonus: 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.
F. Timing of Royalty Payments: All royalties payable under the terms of this lease shall
be payable in cash (unless Lessor elects to take such royalty oil or gas in kind) to
Lessor within one hundred twenty (120) days following the first commercial sale of
production and thereafter no more than sixty (60) days after the end of the month
following the month during which production takes place. Subject to the provisions of
Paragraph 16 of this Lease concerning shut-in wells, royalties shall be paid to Lessor
by Lessee and/or its assigns or by the product purchaser for oil and/or gas. Upon the
failure of any party to pay Lessor the royalty as provided in this paragraph, Lessor
may, at Lessor's option, elect to terminate this Lease by sending written notice to
Lessee. Lessee shall then have forty-five (45) days from the date of service of such
written notice in which to avoid termination of this Lease by making or causing to be
made the proper royalty payment or payments that should have been paid. If such
royalty payment is not made on, or before, the expiration of the 45 -day period, or
written approval is not obtained from Lessor to defer such payment, Lessor may elect
to terminate this Lease by filing a Notice of Termination with the Weld County Clerk
and Recorder. The effective date of said termination shall be the date said Notice of
Termination is recorded.
(Revised 3/2023)

G. Effect of "Take or Pay Provision": In the event Lessee enters into a gas purchase
contract which contains what is commonly referred to as a "take or pay provision"
(such provision meaning that the gas purchaser agrees to take delivery of a specified
minimum volume or quantity of gas over a specified term at a specified price or to
make minimum periodic payments to the producer for gas not taken by the purchaser)
and the purchaser under such gas purchase contract makes payment to Lessee by
virtue of such purchaser's failure to take delivery of such minimum volume or quantity
of gas, then Lessor shall be entitled to twenty-two and one-half percent (22.5%) of all
such sums paid to Lessee or producer under the "pay" provisions of such gas
purchase contract. Such royalty payments shall be due and owing to Lessor within
sixty (60) days after the receipt of such payments by Lessee. If the gas purchaser
"makes up" such gas within the period called for in the gas contract and Lessee is
required to give such purchaser a credit for gas previously paid for but not taken, then
Lessor shall not be entitled to royalty on such "make up" gas. If Lessee is not producing
any quantities of gas from the Leased Premises but is receiving payments under the
"pay" portion of such "take or pay" gas purchase contract provision, such payments
shall not relieve Lessee of the duty to make shut-in royalty payments if Lessee desires
to continue this Lease, but such "take or pay" royalty payments shall be applied as a
credit against any shut-in royalty obligation of the Lessee. Lessor shall be a third -party
beneficiary of any gas purchase contract and/or transportation agreement entered into
between Lessee and any purchaser and/or transporter of Lessor's gas, irrespective of
any provision of said contracts to the contrary, and such gas purchase contract and/or
transportation agreement will expressly so provide. Further, Lessor shall be entitled to
twenty-two and one-half percent (22.5%) of the value of any benefits obtained by, or
granted to, Lessee from any gas purchaser and/or transporter for the amendment,
modification, extension, alteration, consolidation, transfer, cancellation or settlement
of any gas purchase contract and/or transportation agreement.
H. Recovery of Liquid Hydrocarbons: Lessee agrees that before any gas produced from
the Leased Premises is used or sold off the Leased Premises, it, will be run, free of
cost to Lessor, through an adequate oil and gas separator of a conventional type or
equipment at least as efficient, to the end that all liquid hydrocarbons recoverable from
the gas by such means will be recovered on the lease and Lessor properly
compensated therefor.
I. Excess Payments to Lessor: Any payment of royalty or shut-in gas royalty hereunder
paid to Lessor in excess of the amount actually due to the Lessor shall nevertheless
become the property of the Lessor if Lessee does not make written request to Lessor
for reimbursement within one (1) year from the date that Lessor received the erroneous
payment, it being agreed and expressly understood between the parties hereto that
Lessor is not the collecting agent for any other royalty owner under the lands covered
hereby, and a determination of the name, interest ownership and whereabouts of any
person entitled to any payment whatsoever under the terms hereof shall be the sole
responsibility of Lessee. It is further expressly agreed and understood that: (i) this
provision shall in no way diminish the obligation of Lessee to make full and punctual
payments of all amounts due to Lessor or to any other person under the terms and
(Revised 3/2023)
Small -Tract Oil and Gas Lease
Page 5
provisions of this Lease, and (ii) any overpayments made to the Lessor under any
provisions of this Lease shall not be entitled to be offset against future amounts
payable to parties hereunder.
J. Effect of Division Order: The terms of this Lease may not be amended by any division
order and the signing of a division order by any mineral owner may not be made a
prerequisite to payment of royalty hereunder.
K. Limitation of Sale to Subsidiaries and/or Affiliates: Oil, gas or products may not be
sold to a subsidiary or affiliate of Lessee as defined herein without the Lessor's prior
written permission.
L. Royalty Payable on All Gas Produced: Lessee shall pay Lessor royalty on all gas
produced from a well on the Leased Premises and sold or used off the Leased
Premises, regardless of whether or not such gas is produced to the credit of Lessee
or sold under a contract executed by or binding on Lessee. Should gas be sold under
a sales contract not binding on Lessee, Lessor's royalty will be calculated based on
the highest price paid for any of the gas produced from the well from which such gas
is produced. In no event will the price paid Lessor for Lessor's share of gas be less
than the price paid Lessee for Lessee's share of gas.
3. LESSOR'S ACCESS TO LEASED PROPERTY AND RECORDS
A. Records Generally: Lessee agrees to keep and to have in its possession complete
and accurate books and records showing the production and disposition of any and all
substances produced on the leased land and to permit Lessor, at all reasonable hours,
to examine the same, or to furnish copies of same to Lessor upon request along with
purchaser's support documentation. Lessor will not be unreasonable with requests.
All said books and records shall be retained by Lessee and made available in Colorado
to Lessor for a period of not less than five (5) years.
B. Access to Premises: Lessor shall have free access, at all times, to all wells, tanks,
and other equipment on the Leased Premises, including drilling wells, and Lessee
agrees to furnish Lessor, or Lessor's nominee, currently and promptly, upon written
request, with full well information including cores, cuttings, samples, logs (including
Schlumberger and other electrical logs), copies and results of deviation tests and
directional and seismic surveys, and the results of all drill stem tests and other tests of
other kind or character that may be made of wells on the Leased Premises. Lessor or
Lessor's nominee shall be furnished with, and have free access at all times to,
Lessee's books and records relative to the production and sale of oil, gas or other
minerals from the Leased Premises, including reports of every kind and character to
local, State or Federal governmental authorities. Lessor shall have the right, at its
election, to employ gaugers or install meters to gauge or measure the production of all
minerals produced from the premises, and Lessee agrees to prepare and deliver to
Lessor or Lessor's gauger or nominee duplicate run or gauge tickets for all minerals
removed from the premises. Lessee shall furnish to Lessor daily drilling reports on
each well drilled upon request.

shall furnish Lessor a copy of the following reports: core record, core analysis, well
completion, bottom hole pressure measurement, directional survey records, electrical
and induction surveys and logs, gas and oil ratio reports, paleontological reports
pertaining to the paleontology of the formations encountered in the drilling of any wells
on the Leased Premises, and all other reports which pertain to the drilling, completing
or operating of the wells located on the Leased Premises. Such information shall be
solely for Lessor's use, and Lessor shall attempt to keep same confidential for twelve
(months after receipt, subject to its obligation to comply with the Public Records
requirements under Colorado law. Lessee agrees that it will not enter into any contract
for the sale, delivery, transporting or processing of gas produced from the Leased
Premises which shall extend more than two (2) years from the effective date of such
sales contract unless such contract has adequate provisions for redetermination of
price at intervals of no less frequency than one (1) year to ensure that production from
this Lease is not being sold for less than the then current market value.
D. Lessee to Advise Regarding Well Status: Lessee shall advise Lessor, in writing, of
the location of all wells drilled upon the Leased Premises on or before thirty (30) days
prior to commencement of operations, and shall advise Lessor, in writing, the date of
completion and/or abandonment of each well drilled within thirty (30) days after
completion or abandonment.
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 tamper proof as nearly as possible. Oil
royalties due within the terms of this lease shall be calculated on actual and accurate
measurements within API standards unless a different means of measurement, subject to
Lessor's approval, is provided.
5. PAYMENTS AND REPORTS: All payments and reports due hereunder shall be made on
or before the day such payments and reports are due. Nothing in this paragraph shall be

C. Lessee to Notify: 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 therefore. 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. Filing with Lessor: 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.
13. POOLING CLAUSE: Lessee may at any time or times pool any part or all of said land or
lease or any stratum or strata with other lands and leases, stratum or strata, in the same
field so as to constitute a spacing unit to facilitate an orderly or uniform well -spacing
pattern or to comply with any order, rule, or regulation of the State or Federal regulatory
or conservation agency having jurisdiction. Such pooling shall be accomplished or
terminated by filing of record and with the Colorado Oil and Gas conservation Commission
a declaration of pooling, or declaration of termination of pooling, and by mailing or
tendering a copy to Lessor. Drilling or reworking operations upon or production from any
(Revised 3/2023)
Small -Tract Oil and Gas Lease
Page 9
part of such spacing unit shall be considered for all purposes of this lease as operations
or productions from this lease. Lessee shall allocate to this lease the proportionate share
of production which the acreage in this lease included in any such spacing unit bears to
the total acreage in said spacing unit.
14. UNITIZATION —COMMUNITIZATION: In the event Lessor permits the land herein leased
to be included within a communitization or unitization agreement, the terms of this lease
may be deemed to be modified to conform to such agreement. When only a portion of the
land under this lease is committed by an agreement, Lessor may segregate the land and
issue a separate lease for each portion not committed thereunder; the term of such
separate lease shall be limited as to the original term of this lease. The terms of the lease
on that portion remaining in the unit shall be deemed to be modified to conform to such
agreement. Non -producing leases shall terminate on the first anniversary date of the
lease following the termination date of the unit or part thereof modifying the lease, but in
no event prior to the end of the primary term of the lease or the extension term of the
lease.
15. PRODUCTION: Lessee shall, subject to applicable laws, regulations and orders, operate
and produce all wells upon the leased land so long as the same are capable of producing
in paying quantities, and shall operate the same so as to produce at a rate commensurate
with the rate of production of wells on adjoining lands within the same field and within the
limits of good engineering practice, except for such times as there exist neither market nor
storage therefore, and except for such limitations on, or suspensions of, production as
may be approved in writing by Lessor. Lessee shall be responsible for adequate site
security on all producing properties.
16. 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 therefore,
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 $2.50 per
acre of the lease per annum. The minimum amount of such shut-in royalty payment shall
be $240. Shut-in royalty payments shall not be reduced or proportioned when the Lessor
is not the sole mineral interest owner. Each year's shut-in royalty shall be forfeited to
Lessor except for the shut-in royalty paid for the year during which the well begins
production. The maximum extension of the lease, due to the existence of a shut-in well,
shall be five (5) years beyond the extension term as described in the EXTENSION
paragraph herein. The granting of any further extensions shall be at the sole option of
Lessor.
17. OPERATIONS: Exploration, drilling or production operation, including permanent
installations, shall be in compliance with all Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation
Commission and State of Colorado Regulations. Reports required to be filed with the
Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission shall be made immediately available to
Lessor upon request.
(Revised 3/2023)

18. NOTIFICATION: Lessee shall notify Lessor and the surface lessee or surface owner of
the location of each drill site at least two weeks prior to commencing drilling operations
thereon. Lessee shall notify Lessor before commencing to plug and abandon any well by
copy of Lessee's request for approval or sundry notice of intent to plug and abandon.
19. BONDS: Lessee shall be liable for all damages to the surface of the land, livestock,
growing crops, water wells, reservoirs, or improvements caused by Lessee's operations
on said land. No operations shall be commenced on the land hereinabove described
unless and until Lessee shall have filed a good and sufficient bond with Lessor, in an
amount to be fixed by Lessor, to secure the payment for such damages as may be caused
by Lessee's operations on said land and to assure compliance with all the terms and
provisions of this lease, the laws of the State of Colorado, and the rules and regulations
thereto appertaining. A bond may be held in effect for the life of production of any well.
20. SETTLEMENT: Lessee shall not remove any machinery, equipment or fixtures placed
on said land, other than drilling equipment, nor draw the casing from any well unless and
until all payments and obligations currently due Lessor under the terms of this lease shall
have been paid or satisfied. Any machinery, equipment or fixtures left on this land for a
period of more than six (6) months after the expiration hereof, shall automatically become
the property of Lessor.
21. OTHER DISCOVERY: Should Lessee discover any valuable products other than oil and
gas, on or within the leased land, Lessee shall within seven (7) days report such discovery
to Lessor, in which event Lessee and Lessor may negotiate a provision for production of
such discovery.
22. WATER: This lease does not grant permission, express or implied, to Lessee for water
exploration, drilling, or establishing water wells without the written permission of the
surface owner. If Lessor is the surface owner, said permission shall not be unreasonably
withheld. If Lessee desires to establish or adjudicate any water right for beneficial use on
the leased land, any such adjudication or application shall be in the name of Lessor if
Lessor is the surface owner. The same shall apply to any non -tributary water rights
established on the leased land which may be put to beneficial use off said land.
23. DEFAULT: 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 governing 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 of intention
to cancel for such failure or default, specifying the same, stating that if within forty-five
(45) 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 within forty-five
(45) days after the mailing of such notice, and if Lessee does not request a hearing on
(Revised 3/2023)
Small -Tract Oil and Gas Lease
Page 11
such notice within forty-five (45) days, this lease will terminate and be canceled by
operation of this paragraph without further action by Lessor, or further notice to Lessee.
24. EXTENSION: If Lessee fails to make discovery of oil and gas, or either of them, in paying
quantities during the primary term hereof, or during drilling operations commenced during
the primary term hereof, Lessee may make written application to Lessor for an extension
of this lease. The granting of such extension shall be at the sole option of Lessor,
according to the following conditions:

RE: Weld County Lease Needed
etyyGOY anie4t bb ndt,cI
Thank you again for taking my call yesterday. I was able to dig back into title since we spoke, and there are actually 3
tracts tied to the 1935 Decree that we need to get leased:
1. 8N -61W-21: that part of the S/2 described as a strip of land 20 feet wide adjacent and North of the present
highway right-of-way, extending Westward approximately 5280 feet from the East Boundary line of Section 21,
to the West boundary line of said Section. 2.42 gross acres.
2. 8N -61W-28: that part of the NE/4 described as a strip of land 20 feet wide adjacent and South of the present
highway right-of-way, extending Westward approximately 2640 feet from the East boundary line of Section 28
to the North and South center line of said Section. 1.21 gross acres (Weld County own undivided 50%
minerals in the tract).
3. 8N -61W-28: that part of the NW described as a strip of land 20 feet wide adjacent and South of the present
highway right-of-way, extending Westward approximately 7920 feet from the North and South center line of
Section 28 to the West boundary line of Section 28. 1.21 gross acres.
Before I finalize these leases and process for bonus payment, should I put them all on one lease or do they need to be
separated per the different tracts? Also, please note that tract No. 2 above is a 50% mineral interest tract for Weld
County. Wanted to highlight that since the bonus payment will be for .605 net mineral acres.

I just left you a voicemail about this. Weld County has an unleased ROW tract in one of our units that we'd like to get a
lease on.
The tract is described as: T8N, R61 W, SEC. 28: That part of the NW/4 described as a strip of land 20 feet wide
adjacent and South of the present highway right-of-way, extending Westward approximately 7920 feet from the North
and South center line of Section 28 to the West boundary line of Section 28. I believe this is associated with the 1935
Decree recorded at Book 983, Page 30 , Rec. No. 721497.
Please give me a call at your earliest convenience so that we can discuss.
