Asher, President <br />SunflowEr Energy Corporation <br />770 Grant Street, No. 2 <br />Denver, Colorado 80203 <br />Dear Mr. Asher: <br />The United States Steel Corporation (USSC) and the Sunflower Energy <br />Corporation (SEC) made and entered into a Sublease Agreement dated July 28, <br />1976 which granted, conveyed and subleased to SEC from the USSC's Federal <br />Coal Lease C-033301 all of the "E-Coal Seam" contained in the easternmost <br />184 feet of Lot 19 and all of Lots 20 and 21, Section 35, T. 12 S. , R. 91 W. , <br />6 PM, containing 80 acres, more or less. The USSC has an approved mining <br />plan for operation in the B-Seam of Federal Coal Lease C-033301 and is <br />presently mining coal from this lease in accord with the approved plan. <br />It is our understanding that the SEC is presently mining coal in the <br />E-Seam on fee coal land and desires to extend their underground mining <br />operation from these fee lands into the adjacent sublease of federal coal <br />lease C-033301. It is also our understanding that SEC will require regulatory <br />agency approval of the proposed SEC mining plan before mining can begin on <br />the Sublease. <br />In the interest of timely execution of the mining of the reserves in <br />the Sublease, the USSC does not object to the SEC applying for approval of <br />the Blue Ribbon Mine plan for mining on the Sublease as a Modification of the <br />USSC Somerset Mine approved plan subject to the terms and conditions of the <br />"Sublease Agreement. " The USSC agreement to not object to the mine plan <br />modification is based on the following: <br />1. The SEC at its own expense will secure and maintain the <br />necessary bonding required by the state and federal <br />regulatory agencies for operating coal mines. <br />2. The extension of mining into the Sublease from the fee <br />coal will not require additional surface disturbance. <br />1 <br />
