Lease Forms
- Start a state-specific lease for the rental of commercial property. Specify the term and rent due, as well as whether the landlord or tenant is responsible for property taxes, insurance, and maintenance and repairs.
- When a tenant vacates commercial property before the lease term has expired, it may be able to rent the premises to a third party. The tenant would be the sublessor and the third party would be the sublessee. Besides preparing a sublease, both parties will want to review the provisions for assignment or subletting in the original lease agreement between the landlord and the sublessor.
- Tenants of residential property should prepare a sublease agreement if they are seeking to sublease a room or the entire apartment or house to a third party. All parties should review the original lease agreement to see if there are any restrictions on subletting or assigning the premises.
- Triple net leases are a type of commercial leases where the tenant has to pay for property taxes, insurance, utilities, and maintenance, in addition to the monthly rent.
- When renting an office space, tenants should understand the amount of the rent and duration of the lease. Other important terms include whether the space can be subleased, which parties are responsible for maintenance, and whether any furniture and furnishings will be provided.

obligation accrues.
(b) ADVANCE ROYALTIES - Upon request by the lessee, the BLM may accept, for a
total of not more than 10 years, the payment of advance royalties in lieu of
continued operation, consistent with the regulations. The advance royalty will

lessee requests approval to pay advance royalties in lieu of continued
operation.
Sec. 3. BONDS - Lessee must maintain in the proper office a lease bond in the
amount of $219,304,000. *The BLM may require an increase in this amount when
additional coverage is determined appropriate.
Sec. 4. DILIGENCE - This lease is subject to the conditions of diligent
development and continued operation, except that these conditions are excused
when operations under the lease are interrupted by strikes, the elements, or
casualties not attributable to the lessee. The lessor, in the public interest,
may suspend the condition of continued operation upon payment of advance
royalties in accordance with the regulations in existence at the time of the
suspension. Lessee's failure to produce coal in commercial quantities at the end
of 10 years will terminate the lease. Lessee must submit an operation and
reclamation plan pursuant to Section 7 of the Act not later than 3 years after
lease issuance.

Secretary of Labor. Neither lessee nor lessee's subcontractors should maintain
segregated facilities.
Sec. 9. (a) TRANSFERS
[X] This lease may be transferred in whole or in part to any person,
association or corporation qualified to hold such lease interest.
[ ] This lease may be transferred in whole or in part to another public body
or to a person who will mine the coal on behalf of, and for the use of, the
public body or to a person who for the limited purpose of creating a
security interest in favor of a lender agrees to be obligated to mine the
coal on behalf of the public body.
[ ] This lease may only be transferred in whole or in part to another small
business qualified under 13 CFR 121.
Transfers of record title, working or royalty interest must be approved in
accordance with the regulations.
(b) RELINQUISHMENT - The lessee may relinquish in writing at any time all rights

premises or deposits and place all workings in condition for suspension or
abandonment. Within 180 days thereof, lessee must remove from the premises all
other structures, machinery, equipment, tools, and materials that it elects to
or as required by the BLM. Any such structures, machinery, equipment, tools, and
materials remaining on the leased lands beyond 180 days, or approved extension
thereof, will become the property of the lessor, but lessee may either remove
any or all such property or continue to be liable for the cost of removal and
disposal in the amount actually incurred by the lessor. If the surface is owned
by third parties, lessor will waive the requirement for removal, provided the
third parties do not object to such waiver. Lessee must, prior to the
termination of bond liability or at any other time when required and in
accordance with all applicable laws and regulations, reclaim all lands the
surface of which has been disturbed, dispose of all debris or solid waste,
repair the offsite and onsite damage caused by lessee's activity or activities
incidental thereto, and reclaim access roads or trails.
Sec.11. PROCEEDINGS IN CASE OF DEFAULT - If lessee fails to comply with
applicable laws, existing regulations, or the terms, conditions and stipulations
of this lease, and the noncompliance continues for 30 days after written notice
thereof, this lease will be subject to cancellation by the lessor only by
judicial proceedings. This provision will 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 will not prevent later cancellation for
the same default occurring at any other time.
Sec. 12. HEIRS AND SUCCESSORS-IN-INTEREST - Each obligation of this lease will
extend to and be binding upon, and every benefit hereof will inure to, the
heirs, executors, administrators, successors, or assigns of the respective
parties hereto.

SEC. 15. SPECIAL STIPULATIONS -
In addition to observing the general obligations and standards of performance
set out in the current regulations, the lessee shall comply with and be bound by
the following special stipulations.
These stipulations are also imposed upon the lessee's agents and employees. The
failure or refusal of any of these persons to comply with these stipulations
shall be deemed a failure of the lessee to comply with the terms of the lease.
The lessee shall require his agents, contractors and subcontractors involved in
activities concerning this lease to include these stipulations in the contracts
between and among them. These stipulations may be revised or amended, in
writing, by the mutual consent of the lessor and the lessee at any time to
adjust to changed conditions or to correct an oversight.
(a) CULTURAL RESOURCES - (1) Before undertaking any activities that may disturb
the surface of the leased lands, the lessee shall conduct a cultural resource
intensive field inventory in a manner specified by the Authorized Officer of the
BLM or of the surface managing agency, if different, on portions of the mine
plan area and adjacent areas, or exploration plan area, that may be adversely
affected by lease-related activities and which were not previously inventoried
at such a level of intensity. The inventory shall be conducted by a qualified
professional cultural resource specialist (i.e., archeologist, historian,
historical architect, as appropriate), approved by the Authorized Officer of the
surface managing agency (BLM, if the surface is privately owned), and a report
of the inventory and recommendations for protecting any cultural resources
identified shall be submitted to the Assistant Director of the Western Support
Center of the Office of Surface Mining, the Authorized Office of the BLM, if
activities are associated with coal exploration outside an approved mining
permit area (hereinafter called Authorized Officer), and the Authorized Officer
of the surface managing agency, if different. The lessee shall undertake
measures, in accordance with instructions from the Assistant Director, or
Authorized Officer, to protect cultural resources on the leased lands. The
lessee shall not commence the surface disturbing activities until permission to
proceed is given by the Assistant Director or Authorized Officer.
(2) The lessee shall protect all cultural properties that have been determined
eligible to the National Register of Historic Places within the lease area from
lease-related activities until the cultural resource mitigation measures can be
implemented as part of an approved mining and reclamation or exploration plan
unless modified by mutual agreement in consultation with the State Historic
Preservation Officer.
(3) The cost of conducting the inventory, preparing reports, and carrying out
mitigation measures shall be borne by the lessee.
(4) If cultural resources are discovered during operations under this lease, the
lessee shall immediately bring them to the attention of the Assistant Director
or Authorized Officer, or the Authorized Officer of the surface managing agency,
if the Assistant Director is not available. The lessee shall not disturb such
resources except as may be subsequently authorized by the Assistant Director or
Authorized Officer.
Within two (2) working days of notification, the Assistant Director or
Authorized Officer will evaluate or have evaluated any cultural resources
discovered and will determine if any action may be required to protect or
<PAGE>
BOOK 2001 OF PHOTOS, PAGE 473
WYW154001
Page 6 of 8
SEC. 15. SPECIAL STIPULATIONS (Continued) -
preserve such discoveries. The cost of data recovery for cultural resources
discovered during lease operations shall be borne by the lessee unless otherwise
specified by the Authorized Officer of the BLM or of the surface managing
agency, if different.
(5) All cultural resources shall remain under the jurisdiction of the United
States until ownership is determined under applicable law.
(b) PALEONTOLOGICAL RESOURCES - If paleontological resources, either large and
conspicuous, and/or of significant scientific value are discovered during mining
operations, the find will be reported to the Authorized Officer immediately.
Mining operations will be suspended within 250 feet of said find. An evaluation
of the paleontological discovery will be made by a BLM approved professional
paleontologist within five (5) working days, weather permitting, to determine
the appropriate action(s) to prevent the potential loss of any significant
paleontological value. Operations with 250 feet of such discovery will not be
resumed until written authorization to proceed is issued by the Authorized
Officer. The lessee shall bear the cost of any required paleontological
appraisals, surface collection of fossils, or salvage of any large conspicuous
fossils or significant scientific interest discovered during the operations.
(c) THREATENED AND ENDANGERED SPECIES - The lease area may now or hereafter
contain plants, animals, or their habitats determined to be threatened or
endangered under the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended, 16 U.S.C. 1531
et seq., or that have other special status. The Authorized Officer may recommend
modifications to exploration and development proposals to further conservation
and management objectives or to avoid activity that will contribute to a need to
list such species or their habitat or to comply with any biological opinion
issued by the Fish and Wildlife Service for the proposed action. The Authorized
Officer will not approve any ground-disturbing activity that may affect any such
species or critical habitat until it completes its obligations under applicable
requirements of the Endangered Species Act. The Authorized Officer may require
modifications to, or disapprove a proposed activity that is likely to result in
jeopardy to the continued existence of a proposed or listed threatened or
endangered species, or result in the destruction or adverse modification of
designated or proposed critical habitat.
The lessee shall comply with instructions from the Authorized Officer of the
surface managing agency (BLM, if the surface is private) for ground disturbing
activities associated with coal exploration on federal coal leases prior to
approval of a mining and reclamation permit or outside an approved mining and
reclamation permit area. The lessee shall comply with instructions from the
Authorized Officer of the Office of Surface Mining Reclamation and Enforcement,
or his designated representative, for all ground-disturbing activities taking
place within an approved mining and reclamation permit area or associated with
such a permit.

SEC. 15. SPECIAL STIPULATIONS (Continued) -
(d) MULTIPLE MINERAL DEVELOPMENT - Operations will not be approved which, in the
opinion of the Authorized Officer, would unreasonably interfere with the orderly
development and/or production from a valid existing mineral lease issued prior
to this one for the same lands.
(e) OIL AND GAS/COAL RESOURCES - The BLM realizes that coal mining operations
conducted on Federal coal leases issued within producing oil and gas fields may
interfere with the economic recovery of oil and gas; just as Federal oil and gas
leases issued in a Federal coal lease area may inhibit coal recovery. BLM
retains the authority to alter and/or modify the resource recovery and
protection plans for coal operations and/or oil and gas operations on those
lands covered by Federal mineral leases so as to obtain maximum resource
recovery.
(f) RESOURCE RECOVERY AND PROTECTION - Notwithstanding the approval of a
resource recovery and protection plan (R2P2) by the BLM, lessor reserves the
right to seek damages against the operator/lessee in the event (i) the
operator/lessee fails to achieve maximum economic recovery (MER) (as defined at
43 CFR 3480.0-5(21)) of the recoverable coal reserves or (ii) the
operator/lessee is determined to have caused a wasting of recoverable coal
reserves. Damages shall be measured on the basis of the royalty that would have
been payable on the wasted or unrecoverable coal.
The parties recognize that under an approved R2P2, conditions may require a
modification by the operator/lessee of that plan. In the event a coal bed or
portion thereof is not to be mined or is rendered unmineable by the operation,
the operator/lessee shall submit appropriate justification to obtain approval by
the Authorized Officer to lease such reserves unmined. Upon approval by the
Authorized Officer, such coal beds or portions thereof shall not be subject to
damages as described above. Further, nothing in this section shall prevent the
operator/lessee from exercising its right to relinquish all or portion of the
lease as authorized by statue and regulation.
In the event the Authorized Officer determines that the R2P2, as approved, will
not attain MER as the result of changed conditions, the Authorized Officer will
give proper notice to the operator/lessee as required under applicable
regulations. The Authorized Office will order a modification if necessary,
identifying additional reserves to be mined in order to attain MER. Upon a final
administrative or judicial ruling upholding such an ordered modification, any
reserves left unmined (wasted) under that plan will be subject to damages as
described in the first paragraph under this section.
Subject to the right to appeal hereinafter set forth, payment of the value of
the royalty on such unmined recoverable coal reserves shall become due and
payable upon determination by the Authorized Officer that the coal reserves have
been rendered unmineable or at such time that the operator/lessee had
demonstrated an unwillingness to extract the coal.
The BLM may enforce this provision either by issuing a written decision
requiring payment of the MMS demand for such royalties, or by issuing a notice
of non-compliance. A decision or notice of non-compliance issued by the lessor
that payment is due under this stipulation is appealable as allowed by law.

SEC. 15. SPECIAL STIPULATIONS (Continued) -
(g) PUBLIC LAND SURVEY PROTECTION - The lessee will protect all survey
monuments, witness corners, reference monuments, and bearing trees against
destruction, obliteration, or damage during operations on the lease areas. If
any monuments, corners or accessories are destroyed, obliterated, or damaged by
this operation, the lessee will hire an appropriate county surveyor or
registered land surveyor to reestablish or restore the monuments, corners, or
accessories at the same locations, using the surveying procedures in accordance
with the "Manual of Surveying Instructions for the Survey of the Public Lands of
the United States." The survey will be recorded in the appropriate county
records, with a copy sent to the Authorized Officer.
(h) RAILROAD RIGHT-OF-WAY - No mining activity of any kind may be conducted
within the Burlington Northern/Santa Fe and Union Pacific railroad right-of-way.
The lessee shall recover all legally and economically recoverable coal from all
leased lands not within the foregoing right-of-way. Lessee shall pay all
royalties on any legally and economically recoverable coal which it fails to
mine without the written permission of the Authorized Officer.
