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 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.
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.
IN B. Royalty Payment on Products: On products, Lessee shall pay Lessor a royalty payment of
eighteen and one-half percent (18.5%) of the gross market value or proceeds of sale thereof,
PI whichever is higher.
o s
C. Royalty Payment on Residue Gas: On residue gas or gas remaining after separation,
extraction or processing operations, Lessee shall pay Lessor eighteen and one-half percent
(18.5%) of the proceeds of sale or of the market value thereof, whichever is higher.
W-
Sa-t
CI
'mw3' D. Royalty Payment on Oil: At the option of Lessor, and with sixty (60) days' notice to Lessee,
,.;;ate Lessor may take its royalty oil in kind, in which event Lessee shall deliver such royalty oil to
° GI
o Lessor on the leased land, free of cost or deduction, into the pipelines or storage tanks
Nex ecr--a designated by Lessor, but Lessee shall not in such case be required to provide free tankage
mED� for any such oil for a longer period than one month after the same is run into tanks. With sixty
lostM (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, eighteen and one-
T. half percent (18.5%) the market value of the oil at the wellhead, or the price actually paid to
e Lessee at the well by the purchaser thereof, whichever is higher; and in no event shall the
CO
{DM 0 "1 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.
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 eighteen and one-half
percent(18.5%)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
2:- ' 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
s 22 shall be applied as a credit against any shut-in royalty obligation of the Lessee. Lessor shall
coi-
n 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,
- ills irrespective of any provision of said contracts to the contrary, and such gas purchase contract
rra 2=c and/or transportation agreement will expressly so provide. Further, Lessor shall be entitled to
ce,''. eighteen and one-half percent (18.5%) of the value of any benefits obtained by, or granted to,
'"c`� Lessee from any gas purchaser and/or transporter for the amendment, modification, extension,
mmx alteration, consolidation, transfer, cancellation or settlement of any gas purchase contract
aNU- and/or transportation agreement.
vryfSe H. Recovery of Liquid Hydrocarbons: Lessee agrees that before any gas produced from the
I.
Leased Premises is used or sold off the Leased Premises, it will be run, free of cost to Lessor,
a°30)we— 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.
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 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

accurate books and records showing the production and disposition of any and all substances

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 a declaration of
pooling, or declaration of termination of pooling, and by mailing or tendering a copy to Lessor, or to
the depository bank. Drilling or reworking operations upon or production from any 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
Si
portion not committed thereunder; the term of such separate lease shall be limited as to the original
8- term of this lease. The terms of the lease on that portion remaining in the unit shall be deemed to
awe 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
0 lease, but in no event prior to the end of the primary term of the lease or the extension term of the
m3mka lease.

15. PRODUCTION: Lessee shall, subject to applicable laws, regulations and orders, operate and
°LL�x 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
incp production of wells on adjoining lands within the same field and within the limits of good engineering
Waco practice, except for such times as there exist neither market nor storage therefore,
a ta
a, and except for such limitations on, or suspensions of, production as may be approved in writing by
NU
Lessor. Lessee shall be responsible for adequate site security on all producing properties.

ton c ry 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
cm � suspension of his obligations to produce hereunder until a suitable market for such gas can be

Mr. Smith:
Thank you for your inquiry to lease our mineral interests. We are in need of more information to
process this request. Please submit the following:
*Title Opinion, or such, showing that Weld County owns the mineral interests.
*The attached lease agreement signed and notarized. You will need to complete the acres, amounts,
legal description, etc. *Check made payable to Weld County—it is $600.00 per acre. (Small Tract—
you would take the acres x $600 to get the correct amount. Example .287 acres x $600 = $172.20).
Please let me know if you have any other questions!
