Annual rental rates per acre or fraction thereof are:
(a) Noncompetitive lease. $1.50 for the first 5 years; thereafter $2.00;
(b) Competitive lease, $1.50; for the first 5 years; thereafter $200;
(c) Other, see attachment, or
as specified in regulations at the time this lease is issued.
If this lease or a portion thereof is committed to an approved cooperative or unit plan which
includes a well capable of producing leased resources, and the plan contains a provision for
allocation of production, royalties shall be paid on the production allocated to this lease. However,
annual rentals shall continue to be due at the rate specified in (a), (b), or (c) for those lands
not within a participating area.
Failure to pay annual rental, if due, on or before the anniversary date of this lease (or next
official working day if office is closed) shall automatically terminate this lease by operation of
law. Rentals may be waived, reduced, or suspended by the Secretary upon a sufficient showing
by lessee.
Sec. 2. Royalties Royalties shall be paid to proper office of lessor. Royalties shall be computed
in accordance with regulations on production removed or sold. Royalty rates are:
(a) Noncompetitive lease, 121/2
(b) Competitive lease, 121/2%;
(c) Other, see attachment; or

right to establish reasonable minimum values on products after giving lessee notice and an
opportunity to be heard. When paid in value, royalties shall be due and payable on the last day
of the month following the month in which production occurred. When paid in kind, production
shall be delivered, unless otherwise agreed to by lessor, in merchantable condition on the premises
where produced without cost to lessor. Lessee shall not be required to hold such production
in storage beyond the last day of the month following the month in which production occurred,
nor shall lessee be held liable for Toss or destruction of royalty oil or other products in storage
from causes beyond the reasonable control of lessee.
Minimum royalty in lieu of rental of not less than the rental which otherwise would be required
for that lease year shall be payable at the end of each lease year beginning on or after a discovery
in paying quantities. This minimum royalty may be waived, suspended, or reduced, and the
above royalty rates may be reduced, for all or portions of this lease if the Secretary determines
that such action is necessary to encourage the greatest ultimate recovery of the leased resources,
or is otherwise justified.
An interest charge shall be assessed on late royalty payments or underpayments in accordance
with the Federal Oil and Gas Royalty Management Act of 1982 (FOGRMA) (30 U.S.C. 1701).
Lessee shall be liable for royalty payments on oil and gas lost or wasted from a lease site when
such Toss or waste is due to negligence on the part of the operator, or due to the failure to comply
with any rule, regulation, order, or citation issued under FOGRMA or the leasing authority.
Sec. 3. Bonds —A bond shall be filed and maintained for lease operations as required under
regulations.
Sec. 4. Diligence, rate of development, unitization, and drainage— Lessee shall exercise reasonable
diligence in developing and producing, and shall prevent unnecessary damage to, loss of, or

proceeds therefrom, and amount used for production purposes or unavoidably lost. Lessee may
be required to provide plats and schematic diagrams showing development work and
improvements, and reports with respect to parties in interest, expenditures, and depreciation
costs. In the form prescribed by lessor, lessee shall keep a daily drilling record, a log, information
on well surveys and tests, and a record of subsurface investigations and furnish copies to lessor
when required. Lessee shall keep open at all reasonable times for inspection by any authorized
officer of lessor, the leased premises and all wells, improvements, machinery, and fixtures thereon,

During existence of this lease, information obtained under this section shall be closed to
inspection by the public in accordance with the Freedom of Information Act (5 U.S.C. 552).
Sec. 6. Conduct of operations Lessee shall conduct operations in a manner that minimizes adverse
impacts to the land, air, and water, to cultural, biological, visual, and other resources, and to
other land uses or users: Lessee shall take reasonable measures deemed necessary by lessor to
accomplish the intent of this section. To the extent consistent with lease rights granted, such
measures may include, but are not limited to, modification to siting or design of facilities, timing
of operations, and specification of interim and final reclamation measures. Lessor reserves the
right to continue existing uses and to authorize future uses upon or in the leased lands, including
the approval of easements or rights -of -way. Such uses shall be conditioned so as to prevent
unnecessary or unreasonable interference with rights of lessee.
Prior to disturbing the surface of the leased lands, lessee shall contact lessor to be apprised
of procedures to be followed and modifications or reclamation measures that may be necessary.
Areas to be disturbed may require inventories or special studies to determine the extent of impacts
to other resources. Lessee may be required to complete minor inventories or short term special
studies under guidelines provided by lessor. If in the conduct of operations, threatened or
endangered species, objects of historic or scientific interest, or substantial unanticipated
environmental effects are observed, lessee shall immediately contact lessor. Lessee shall cease
any operations that would result in the destruction of such species or objects.
Sec. 7. Mining operations —To the extent that impacts from mining operations would be
substantially different or greater than those associated with normal drilling operations, lessor
reserves the right to deny approval of such operations.
Sec. 8. Extraction of helium— Lessor reserves the option of extracting or having extracted helium
from gas production in a manner specified and by means provided by lessor at no expense or
loss to lessee or owner of the gas. Lessee shall include in any contract of sale of gas the provisions
of this section.
Sec. 9. Damages to property— Lessee shall pay lessor for damage to lessor's improvements,
and shall save and hold lessor harmless from all claims for damage or harm to persons or property
as a result of lease operations.
Sec. 10. Protection of diverse interests and equal opportunity— Lessee shall: pay when due all
taxes legally assessed and levied under laws of the State or the United States; accord all employees
complete freedom of purchase; pay all wages at least twice each month in lawful money of the
United States; maintain a safe working environment in accordance with standard industry practices;
and take measures necessary to protect the health and safety of the public.
Lessor reserves the right to ensure that production is sold at reasonable prices and to prevent
monopoly. If lessee operates a pipeline, or owns controlling interest in a pipeline or a company
operating a pipeline, which may be operated accessible to oil derived from these leased lands,
lessee shall comply with section 28 of the Mineral Leasing Act of 1920.
Lessee shall comply with Executive Order No. 11246 of September 24, 1965, as amended,
and regulations and relevant orders of the Secretary of Labor issued pursuant thereto. Neither
lessee nor lessee's subcontractors shall maintain segregated facilities.
Sec. 11. Transfer of lease interests and relinquishment of lease —As required by regulations,
lessee shall file with lessor any assignment or other transfer of an interest in this lease. Lessee
may relinquish this lease or any legal subdivision by filing in the proper office a written
relinquishment, which shall be effective as of the date of filing, subject to the continued obligation
of the lessee and surety to pay all accrued rentals and royalties.
Sec. 12. Delivery of premises —At such time as all or portions of this lease are returned to lessor,
lessee shall place affected wells in condition for suspension or abandonment, reclaim the land
as specified by lessor and, within a reasonable period of time, remove equipment and
improvements not deemed necessary by lessor for preservation of producible wells.
Sec. 13. Proceedings in case of default —If lessee fails to comply with any provisions of this
lease, and the noncompliance continues for 30 days after written notice thereof, this lease shall
be subject to cancellation unless or until the leasehold contains a well capable of production
of oil or gas in paying quantities, or the lease is committed to an approved cooperative or unit
plan or communitization agreement which contain$ a well capable of production of unitized
substances in paying quantities. This provision shall not be construed to prevent the exercise
by lessor of any other legal and equitable remedy, including waiver of the default. Any such
remedy or waiver shall not prevent later cancellation for the same default occurring at any other
time. Lessee shall be subject to applicable provisions and penalties of FOGRMA (30 U.S.C. 1701).
Sec. 14. Heirs and successors -in- interest —Each obligation of this lease shall extend to and be
binding upon, and every benefit hereof shall inure to the heirs, executors, administrators,

Under Regulation 43 CFR 3101.1 -2 and terms of the lease (BLM Form 3100 -11),
the authorized officer may require reasonable measures to minimize adverse
impacts to other resource values, land uses, and users not addressed in lease
stipulations at the time operations are proposed. Such reasonable measures
may include, but are not limited to, modification of siting or design of
facilities, timing of operations, and specification of interim and final
reclamation measures, which may require relocating proposed operations up to
200 meters, but not off the leasehold, and prohibiting surface disturbance
activities for up to 60 days.
The lands within this lease may include areas not specifically addressed by
lease stipulations that may contain special values, may be needed for special
purposes, or may require special attention to prevent damage to surface and /or
other resources. Possible special areas are identified below. Any surface
use or occupancy within such special areas will be strictly controlled or, if
absolutely necessary, prohibited. Appropriate modifications to imposed
restrictions will be made for the maintenance and operation of producing
wells.
The intent of this notice is to inform interested parties (potential lessees,
permittees, operators) that when one or more of the above conditions exist,
surface disturbing activities will be prohibited unless or until the permittee
or the designated representative and the surface management agency (SMA)
arrive at an acceptable plan for mitigation of anticipated impacts. This
negotiation will occur prior to development and become a condition for
approval when authorizing the action.
Specific threshold criteria (e.g., 500 feet from water) have been established
based upon the best information available. However, geographical areas and
time periods of concern must be delineated at the field level (i.e., "surface
water and /or riparian areas" may include both intermittent and ephemeral water
sources or may be limited to perennial surface water).
The referenced oil and gas leases on these lands are hereby made subject to
the stipulation that the exploration or drilling activities will not interfere
materially with the use of the area as a materials site /free use permit. At
the time operations on the above lands are commenced, notification will be
made to the appropriate agency. The name of the appropriate agency may be
obtained from the proper BLM Field Office.
