Noble <br />agrees to access the Property and the Oil and Gas Operations Areas along those routes depicted and <br />identified as "Access Roads" on Exhibit B. Access to the Oil and Gas Operations Areas may be changed <br />by mutual agreement of Mining Parties and Noble; provided, however, all costs and expenses of such <br />relocations unless requested by Noble shall be borne by Mining Parities. <br />b. Mining Parties shall maintain and keep access roads that are jointly used by Mining <br />Parties and Noble in a condition and state of repair that serves the needs of Mining Parties or, in the case <br />of relocated existing roads, to at least the standard such road was maintained prior to its relocation, if a <br />more substantial condition. In the event that joint access roads need to be improved in order to serve the <br />needs of Noble, the parties agree to cooperate to allow Noble to construct the improvements, such <br />improvements to be at the sole cost and expense of Noble. Neither Noble nor Mining Parties shall <br />unreasonably interfere with the use by the other of access roads. <br />C. If Mining Parties, as part of the relocation of any then existing access road used by <br />Noble, moves the point of intersection of such road and any public road or highway, Mining Parties shall <br />be responsible for obtaining and shall pay the costs to obtain from Weld County or any municipal <br />authority having jurisdiction over the Property, as necessary, permits or authorization for the replacement <br />access to and from the public road. <br />d. Construction and Width of Access Roads. <br />i. Noble shall be responsible for construction of its own roads in the locations <br />shown on Exhibit B to Oil and Gas Operations Areas for Wells where Mining <br />Parties are not constructing roads for its own operations. <br />ii. If Mining Parties relocate any then existing road being used by Noble for access <br />to any Oil and Gas Operations Area, such relocated road shall be built, at Mining <br />Parties' expense, to at least the quality of the road it replaces. <br />Access roads or portions of access roads that are jointly used by Noble and <br />Mining Parties shall be thirty (30) feet in width. If Mining Parties improve or <br />pave such joint-use roads for regular permanent or extended use, Mining Parties <br />shall construct or improve them so as to withstand the weight of oilfield <br />equipment. <br />iv. Access roads or portions of access roads that are used exclusively by Noble shall <br />be thirty (30) feet in width, and Noble shall install and maintain them to COGCC <br />standards that apply to oil and gas operations. <br />e. Mining Parties agree that they will not mine or extract materials from any portion of the <br />access roads identified on Exhibit B, or those access roads that may be otherwise mutually agreed upon <br />by the Parties, without the written consent of Noble. <br />Batteries and Eauinment/ Production Facility Locations/ Electrical Service Lines. <br />a. Noble shall have the right to locate, build, repair and maintain tanks, separators, <br />dehydrators, compressors and other equipment ("Production Facility" or "Production Facilities") <br />reasonably appropriate for the operation and production of Wells within the Oil and Gas Operations Areas <br />locations depicted on Exhibit B ("Production Facility Locations.") <br />-5-
