(a) From time to time, subject to Section 2.2(b), Shipper may designate its interests in oil and/or gas leases, mineral interests and other similar interests within the Dedication Area that are not Joint Dedicated Properties as Sole Dedicated Properties. If Gatherer accepts such dedication (or is obligated to accept such designation pursuant to Section 2.2(b)), then subject to the provisions of Section 2.3 through Section 2.7 and Article 14, Shipper will be deemed to have (i) dedicated and committed to deliver to Gatherer under this Agreement, as and when produced, all of the Gas owned by Shipper thereafter produced during the Term from Sole Dedicated Properties and (ii) committed to deliver to Gatherer under this Agreement, as and when produced, all of Third Party Gas under the Control of Shipper that is thereafter produced during the Term from the lands covered by such Sole Dedicated Properties.

(b) If Shipper wishes to dedicate to Gatherer hereunder its interests in oil and/or gas leases, mineral interests and other similar interests within the Dedication Area that are not Joint Dedicated Properties as Sole Dedicated Properties, then Shipper shall prepare in good faith and deliver to Gatherer a notice (a “Sole Dedication Notice”) setting forth (i) the oil and/or gas leases, mineral interests and other similar interests Shipper wishes to designate as Sole Dedicated Properties (the “Proposed Sole Dedicated Properties”), (ii) the general location of such Proposed Sole Dedicated Properties, (iii) a current production forecast for such Proposed Sole Dedicated Properties, including the date on which production from such Proposed Sole Dedicated Properties is anticipated to come online, and the locations of the planned wells on such Proposed Sole Dedicated Properties, (iv) the proposed Gathering Services to be provided by Gatherer (the “Proposed Gathering Services”) and (v) proposed fees for such Services to be provided by Gatherer (collectively, the “Proposed Fee”). As soon as reasonably practicable, but in any event within 30 Days following receipt of a Sole Dedication Notice, Gatherer shall provide a written response to Shipper setting forth Gatherer’s election to accept or reject the dedication of such Proposed Sole Dedicated Properties; provided, however, if the Proposed Fee would provide Gatherer at least the Target Return with respect to the Proposed Gathering Services, then Gatherer shall be obligated to accept the dedication of such Proposed Sole Dedicated Properties and provide the Proposed Gathering Services with respect to the applicable Proposed Sole Dedicated Properties at the applicable Proposed Fee. If Gather elects to reject the dedication of such Proposed Sole Dedicated Properties for the Proposed Fee because the acceptance of such dedication would not provide Gatherer at least the Target Return, then Gatherer shall provide in such notice of rejection a calculation showing the anticipated return on the Subject Expenses Gatherer anticipates it would earn based on the Subject Expenses associated with the Proposed Gathering Services using the Proposed Gathering Fee and, within 30 Days following the receipt by Shipper of Gatherer’s rejection of the dedication of such

 

15


Proposed Sole Dedicated Properties, Shipper may deliver a revised Sole Dedication Notice including a revised Proposed Fee.

Gatherer will use its commercially reasonable efforts to modify the Gathering System Plan and to cause the necessary gathering facilities to be constructed prior to the On-Line Deadline for such Additional/Accelerated Well; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, if Gatherer fails to complete the facilities necessary to connect an Additional/Accelerated Well to the Gathering System by the On-Line Deadline for such Additional/Accelerated Well, Section 3.2(d) shall not apply to such failure to connect such Additional/Accelerated Well to the Gathering System by the On-Line Deadline and there shall be no penalty to Gatherer hereunder.

(g) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, nothing shall give rise to any liability of Shipper for any failure to develop or produce any hydrocarbons from the Dedicated Properties or to pursue or complete any drilling or development on the Dedicated Properties, whether or not envisioned in any Development Report.

Section 3.2 Expansion of Gathering System and Connection of Well Pads.

(a) Gatherer shall, at its sole cost and expense, design, construct and operate and use its commercially reasonable efforts to optimize the Gathering System for the purpose of providing Gathering Services as and when needed to timely support the upstream development of the Dedicated Properties and production of the Dedicated Production, all in accordance with this Section 3.2.

(b) Subject to Section 3.3, Gatherer shall by the later of the applicable Target On-Line Date and the date that the first Planned Well on a particular Planned Well Pad is ready for connection to the Gathering System (as may be extended pursuant to Section 3.2(c), the “On-Line Deadline”), (i) have completed or caused the completion of the construction, in accordance with the then current approved Gathering System Plan, or the necessary facilities (A) to connect each Planned Well Pad and Planned Wells to the Gathering System and (B) to connect the Gathering System to each planned Delivery Point for such Planned Well Pad and Planned Wells and (ii) be ready and able to commence Gathering Services with respect to Dedicated Production from each Planned Well on the Planned Well Pad.

(c) If and to the extent Gatherer is delayed in completing any such facilities or providing such services by a Force Majeure event, then the On-Line Deadline applicable thereto shall be extended for a period of time equal to that during which such obligations of Gatherer was delayed by such events; provided, however, that in the event of a Force Majeure described in sections (a) through (l) of the definition of Force Majeure such adjustment shall not exceed 180 Days.

 

22


(d) If Gatherer fails to connect any such Planned Well or Planned Well Pad to the Gathering System and/or is not ready or is unable to provide Gathering Services for such Planned Well Pad and Planned Wells, in each case, on or before the applicable On-Line Deadline, then, subject to Shipper’s rights under Section 2.6(a)(ii) and Section 2.6(a)(iii), (i) Shipper (or Noble, where exercising any similar right under the Noble Agreement) shall have the right (but not the obligation) to complete those uncompleted facilities and forward invoices such Person receives with respect to such work to Gatherer for immediate payment and Gatherer will pay Shipper (or Noble (as applicable) or reimburse to Shipper or Noble (as applicable), if already paid by such Person, such invoices within two Business Days of Gatherer’s receipt of any such invoice and (ii) upon the commencement of the Gathering Services by Gatherer with respect to the Delayed Planned Wells the Fee for such Delayed Planned Wells will be zero for a number of Days equal to the number of Delayed Connection Days. For the avoidance of doubt, the reduction of the Fee and the right to complete those uncompleted facilities as set forth in this Section 3.2(d) shall be Shipper’s only remedy with respect to such Delayed Planned Wells.

Section 3.3 Cooperation. Because of the interrelated nature of the actions of the Parties required to obtain the necessary permits and authorizations from the appropriate Governmental Authorities and the necessary consents, rights of way and other authorizations from other Persons necessary to drill and complete each Planned Well and construct the required extensions of the Gathering System to each Planned Well Pad, the Parties agree to work together in good faith to obtain such permits, authorizations, consents and rights of way as expeditiously as reasonably practicable, all as provided in this Agreement. The Parties further agree to cooperate with each other and to communicate regularly regarding their efforts to obtain such permits, authorizations, consents and rights of way. Upon request by Shipper, Gatherer shall promptly provide to Shipper copies of all state and federal permits and approvals obtained by Gatherer in order to construct any Facility Segment of the Gathering System.

Section 3.4 Compression. The Gathering System Plan will describe the compression facilities that will be constructed as part of the Gathering System as well as the maximum operating pressures of the gathering lines, which shall be subject to the approval of Shipper and no higher than the MAOP and other maximum operating parameters.

(b) Shipper shall not have a duty to maintain in force and effect any underlying agreements (such as any lease, easement, or surface use agreement) that the grants of easements or rights of way by Shipper to Gatherer pursuant to Section 3.5(a) are based upon, and such grants of easements or rights of way will terminate if Shipper loses its rights to the applicable property, regardless of the reason for such loss of rights.

(c) Gatherer hereby grants to Shipper, without warranty of title, either express or implied, to the extent that it may lawfully and is contractually permitted to do so without the incurrence of additional expense, an easement and right of way upon all lands covered by the Gathering System. Gatherer shall not have a duty to maintain in force and effect any underlying agreements that the grants of easements or rights of way by Gatherer to Shipper pursuant to this Section 3.5(c) are based upon, and such grants of easements or rights of way will terminate if Gatherer loses its rights to the applicable property, regardless of the reason for such loss of rights.

(d) The exercise of the rights granted to a Party by the other Party pursuant to Section 3.5(a) and Section 3.5(c) shall not unreasonably interfere with such other Party’s operations or with the rights of owners in fee with respect to the applicable lands, and such rights will be exercise in material compliance with all applicable Laws and the safety and other reasonable access requirements of the granting Party.

(e) Each Party shall be responsible for any Losses caused by such Party’s use of its access rights pursuant to this Section 3.5. Subject to Section 3.5(b) and Section 3.5(c), each Party shall maintain all roads owned by that Party upon the Dedicated Properties as reasonably necessary for the other Party to access the Wells and its facilities located thereon; provided that the Party given access to such roads shall bear its proportionate share (based on use) of the costs of maintenance of such roads.

Section 3.6 Blending Rights.

(a) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Shipper shall be permitted to blend Gas, subject to Section 3.6(d) below, by (i) changing the Receipt Point for any Gas to be Tendered by Shipper to Gatherer hereunder to another Receipt Point, (ii) taking Gas from the Gathering System at an Intermediate Delivery Point selected by Shipper and re-Tendering such Gas at another Receipt Point selected by Shipper or (iii) Tendering volumes of Third Party Gas (including coal bed methane Gas or other Gas) at (or near) any Tap. All Gas Tendered by Shipper to the Gathering System for blending shall be entitled to Priority One Service. In the event that Shipper takes volumes of Gas at an Intermediate Delivery Point and re-Tenders such volumes to the Gathering System at a different Receipt Point in the exercise of its blending rights hereunder, only one fee for such volumes will be due and owing (calculated based upon the volumes of such Gas Tendered by Shipper at the original Receipt Point(s)).

(b) In the event that Shipper Tenders volumes of coal bed methane or other Gas at (or near) any Tap under Section 3.6(a) (“Blending Gas”) and Gatherer is not required to perform any additional services with respect to such Gas, no fee will be due and owing by Shipper pursuant to Section 5.1 or otherwise for such Blending Gas. For the avoidance of doubt, the Fee will apply to any Blending Gas for which Gatherer performs Gathering Services.

 

24


(c) Any pipeline or gathering system that may be necessary in order for Shipper to Tender to the Gathering System Shipper owned or Controlled Gas solely for blending purposes will be constructed by Shipper or by a Third Party on behalf of Shipper at Shipper’s cost and expense and shall not constitute a portion of the Gathering System; provided that the Parties may separately agree, by an amendment to this Agreement, that Gatherer will build facilities to connect the Gathering System to wells to provide Shipper’s owned or Controlled Gas for blending purposes for a fee mutually agreeable by the Parties.

Section 3.7 Liquid Condensate. Shipper shall be responsible for measuring and injecting into the Gathering System any Joint Dedicated Liquid Condensate or Sole Dedicated Liquid Condensate at the applicable Receipt Point.

(d) For the avoidance of doubt, the Parties acknowledge that there is no separate fee chargeable by Gatherer hereunder for Gathering Services with respect to Drip Condensate and that the fees chargeable by Gatherer hereunder for Gas (including Dry Gas and Wet Gas) are sufficient to compensate Gatherer for Gathering Services with respect to Drip Condensate.

Section 5.2 Fee Adjustments.

(a) As of January 1 of each Year (commencing as of January 1, 2016), each of the Fees will be increased by an amount equal to the sum of the then applicable fee as of the preceding Month plus the product of the Annual Escalation Factor multiplied by such fee.

(b) If there has been a Downtime Event, such Downtime Event was not a result of Shipper’s production being in excess of the production forecast in the Development Report on which the Gathering System or Individual System, as applicable, was based, and such Downtime Event caused (i) the Downtime Percentage for the Gathering System during any calendar quarter to be greater than 4% during such calendar quarter; (ii) the Downtime Percentage for any Individual System during any calendar quarter to be greater than 10% during such calendar

 

30


quarter or (iii) the Downtime Percentage for any Individual System during any two consecutive calendar quarters to be greater than 6% during such two consecutive calendar quarters, then in any such case, the Dry Gas Gathering Fee and the Wet Gas Gathering Fee shall be reduced as set forth in Exhibit I-1. For the avoidance of doubt, only the highest penalty set forth on Exhibit I-1 shall be applicable to a Downtime Event.

(c) Gatherer shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the Daily arithmetic average operating pressure of the system pressures at the Target Pressure. Except in the event of Force Majeure, if, during any calendar quarter, (i) the Daily arithmetic average operating pressure of an Individual System exceeds the pressure set forth in the design documents for the applicable Individual System in the applicable, approved Gathering System Plan (the “Target Pressure”) for such Individual System, (ii) such increase is not a result of Shipper’s production being in excess of the production forecast in the applicable Development Report and (iii) Gatherer has sufficient production data available to confirm that the increased pressure is not a result of Shipper’s increased production, then the Dry Gas Gathering Fee and the Wet Gas Gathering Fee with respect to such Individual System shall be reduced based on the calculation of the Pressure Overage Percentage, as set forth in Exhibit I-2 for each Month during such calendar quarter.

(d) Subject to Gatherer’s consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld), to the extent that there is an option between fuel sources at any Fuel Point, prior to the beginning of each Month (the “Month of Service”), Shipper may request the fuel source for such Fuel Point with respect to the Gathering Services to be provided to Shipper at such Fuel Point during such Month of Service. If Shipper requests electricity as the fuel source for such Fuel Point with respect to the Gathering Services being provided to Shipper at such Fuel Point for such Month of Service, then each of the Dry Gas Gathering Fee and the Wet Gas Gathering Fee for such Month of Service shall be increased by the Compression Charge applicable to such Month of Service.

(e) The Parties acknowledge that (i) Shipper owns that certain facility in Rogersville, Pennsylvania (the “Greenhill Facility”) that is located near Gatherer’s facility in Rogersville, Pennsylvania (the “McQuay Facility”), (ii) production being transported by Gatherer may flow through the Greenhill Facility, and (iii) certain of Shipper’s production that is not Dedicated Production may flow through the McQuay Facility (such production that is capable of flowing through the McQuay Facility, the “Other Production”). For the avoidance of doubt, Other Production is neither Joint Dedicated Production nor Legacy Well Dedicated Production and shall not be entitled to Priority One Service. Within 30 Days following the end of each Month, Shipper shall provide to Gatherer a statement setting forth (A) the volumes, stated in MMBtu, of Other Production produced during such Month (the “Monthly Other Production”) and (B) the volumes, stated in MMBtu, of production that were delivered at the tailgate of the Greenhill Facility during such Month (the “Greenhill Delivered Production”). If the Greenhill Delivered Production exceeds the Monthly Other Production, then Gatherer shall pay Shipper an amount equal to the product of (1) the difference between the Greenhill Delivered Production and the Other Monthly Production, stated in MMBtu, multiplied by (2) the applicable Fee. If the Monthly Other Production exceeds the Greenhill Delivered Production, then Shipper shall pay Gatherer an amount equal to the product of (x) such volumes, stated in MMBtu, of the difference between the Other Monthly Production and the Greenhill Delivered Production multiplied by (y) the applicable Fee.

 

31


Section 5.3 Fee Reset. As soon as practical following a Rate Reset Trigger, Gatherer shall provide written notice to Shipper of such Rate Reset Trigger. On or before September 1 of each Year (commencing with September 1, 2015) and/or within 30 Days following receipt from Gatherer of notice of a Rate Reset Trigger, Shipper shall provide to Gatherer an updated production forecast for each Year for the following ten Years based on the good faith estimates of Shipper based on the best information reasonably available at the time. Within 45 Days following receipt of Shipper’s updated production forecasts, Gatherer shall prepare and deliver to Shipper (a) an updated Fee Model that replaces projected costs, throughput, revenue and other data in the Fee Model with actual data and includes projected costs and production forecasts for future Years based on estimates developed by Gatherer and (b) revised Fees that have been determined by Gatherer’s management team (taking into account, among other things, the updated Fee Model, return on invested capital and recovery of operating and overhead costs) and approved by Gatherer’s board of directors. For the avoidance of doubt, Gatherer’s board of directors may take into account any factors it deems relevant to determining the revised Fees, including Shipper’s drilling economics to ensure drilling by Shipper on the Dedication Area. If Shipper and Gatherer cannot agree on the revised Fees within 45 Days following Gatherer’s delivery of the updated Fee Model and revised Fees, the Fees in effect prior to the Rate Reset Trigger will remain in effect.

Section 5.4 Condensate. Except as provided for in Section 4.8, whereby Shipper elects to market and sell all or any portion of Shipper’s Condensate, Gatherer shall pay Shipper, each Month, an amount equal to product of the Net Condensate Price for such Month multiplied by the number of allocated Barrels of Condensate received by Gatherer from Shipper or for Shipper’s account at the Receipt Points.

Section 5.5 Excess Gathering System L&U. If, during any Month, Gathering System L&U allocated to Shipper in accordance with this Agreement exceeds 1.5% of the total quantities of Shipper’s owned or Controlled Gas and Condensate delivered to the Gathering System in such Month by Shipper, then Gatherer will conduct a field-wide meter balance. Gatherer shall provide Shipper with prior notice of, and reasonable access to observe, any such field-wide meter balance. If, during any 60 Day period, Gathering System L&U allocated to Shipper in accordance with this Agreement exceeds 2.5% of the total quantities of Shipper’s owned or Controlled Gas and Condensate delivered to the Gathering System in such Month by Shipper and such discrepancy cannot be corrected by a field-wide meter balance, then Gatherer shall pay Shipper in respect of such excess an amount equal to (a) the volume of such excess multiplied by (b) the price received for Shipper’s Gas and Condensate in the prior Month.

Section 5.6 Excess Gathering System Fuel Usage.

(a) Gatherer shall measure the Gas used for Gathering System Fuel and shall only use Gas as Gathering System Fuel for the operation of the Gathering System consistent with a reasonably prudent operator’s use of Gas as Gathering System Fuel for the operation of the Gathering System. If, during any Month, Gathering System Fuel exceeds the amount a reasonably prudent operator would use as fuel for the Gathering System, then Gatherer shall pay Shipper in respect of such excess that is allocated to Shipper in accordance this Agreement an amount equal to (a) the volume of such excess allocated to Shipper in accordance this Agreement multiplied by (b) the prices received for Shipper’s Gas in the prior Month.

(b) If Shipper and Gatherer cannot agree on the amount a reasonably prudent operator would use as fuel for the Gathering System, then either Party may notify the other of its request to have an Industry Expert determine such amount (the Party to give such a notice, the “Notifying Party”, and the recipient of such a notice, the “Receiving Party”). Upon the receipt of such a request for an Industry Expert determination from the Notifying Party, the Notifying Party and Receiving Party shall confer in good faith for up to five Business Days to agree on the selection of an Industry Expert to determine the amount a reasonably prudent operator would use as fuel for the Gathering System. If the Parties are unable to agree upon the selection of an Industry Expert within such five Business Day period, then each of the Notifying Party and Receiving Party will select an Industry Expert and the two Industry Experts so selected will select a Person to serve as the Industry Expert. Following such selection of an Industry Expert, each Party shall present to the Industry Expert a written statement of its position on the amount a reasonably prudent operator would use as fuel for the Gathering System (including its methodology for calculating such amount) not later than 30 Days after the selection of such Industry Expert. The Industry Expert may, within 30 Days after its receipt of such statements, request such additional information from either or both Parties as the Industry Expert may deem reasonably necessary or desirable for purposes of making its determination. Each Party agrees to promptly provide the Industry Expert with all information so requested of it. The Industry Expert shall be instructed to determine and submit to the Parties its decision regarding the amount a reasonably prudent operator would use as fuel for the Gathering System. The decision of the Industry Expert shall be conclusive, binding upon, and non-appealable by the Parties. The costs and expenses of the Industry Expert shall be shared equally by the Parties.

ARTICLE 6

QUALITY AND PRESSURE SPECIFICATIONS

Section 6.1 Quality Specifications. Subject to Section 6.2 below, all Gas delivered at the Receipt Points by Shipper to Gatherer shall meet the quality specifications set forth in Section 1.1 of the Operating Terms. Provided that Shipper’s Gas delivered to the Receipt Points complies with such quality specifications or otherwise complies with the first sentence of Section 6.2, all Gas and Condensate re-delivered at the Delivery Points by Gatherer to Shipper shall meet the quality specifications applicable at the relevant Delivery Points. The Parties recognize and agree that all Gas gathered by Gatherer through the Gathering System will be commingled with other Gas shipments (including in connection with Shipper’s exercise of its blending rights hereunder) and, subject to Gatherer’s obligation to re-deliver to Shipper at the Delivery Points Gas that satisfies the applicable quality specifications of the Delivery Points, (a) such Gas shall be subject to such changes in quality, composition and other characteristics as may result from such commingling, and (b) Gatherer shall have no other obligation to Shipper associated with changes in quality of Gas as the result of such commingling. Gatherer will not receive any Gas on the Gathering System, other than Gas owned or Controlled by Shipper or Noble, that does not meet applicable tariff requirements (subject to any waivers in place) with respect to the Delivery Point for such Gas.

Section 6.2 Failure to Meet Specifications. If any Gas (other than Gas used by Shipper for blending or blended) Tendered by Shipper to the Gathering System fails at any time to conform to the applicable specifications, then Gatherer will have the right to immediately discontinue receipt of such non-conforming Gas so long as such Gas continues to be

 

33


non-conforming; provided that (a) the applicable meter operator will seek quality waivers from Downstream Pipelines, (b) Gatherer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to blend and commingle such Gas with other Gas in the Gathering System so that it meets the applicable specifications, and (c) if such Gas cannot be brought into compliance with such blending, then Gatherer will continue to accept and re-deliver such Gas to the Delivery Points that will accept such non-conforming Gas as long as (i) no harm is done to the Gathering System, (ii) no harm is done to other shippers or their Gas, and (iii) other shippers are not prevented from nominating Gas to their preferred Delivery Point. In any event, Shipper will undertake commercially reasonable measures to eliminate the cause of such non-conformance. If, in order to comply with clause (c) above, Gatherer would be required to install any additional processing or treatment facilities not included in the then current Gathering System Plan, Gatherer shall notify Shipper that it requires additional processing or treatment facilities in order to accept Gas Tendered by Shipper that does not conform to the applicable specifications and the necessary timing of installation of such facilities, and Gatherer shall be provided a period of 6 Months after receiving written notice from Shipper to install such facilities.

Section 6.3 Pressure. Shipper shall Tender or cause to be Tendered Gas and Joint Dedicated Liquid Condensate to each applicable Receipt Point at sufficient pressure to enter the Gathering System against its operating pressure, but not in excess of the maximum operating pressure set forth in the design documents for the applicable Facility Segment contained in the applicable, approved Gathering System Plan (which such maximum operating pressure shall be sufficient to permit such Gas and Joint Dedicated Liquid Condensate to enter the Gathering System and the facilities of the Processing Plants, Downstream Pipelines or Downstream Condensate Storage Tanks (as applicable) but not higher than the MAOP of the Downstream Pipelines or other facilities). Shipper shall have the obligation to ensure that Gas and Joint Dedicated Liquid Condensate is prevented from entering the Gathering System at pressures in excess of such maximum operating pressure, and Gatherer shall have the right to restrict or relieve the flow of Gas and Joint Dedicated Liquid Condensate into the Gathering System to protect the Gathering System from over pressuring. Gatherer shall not change such maximum operating pressures without prior written notification to Shipper. Gatherer shall install, own, operate and maintain compression facilities sufficient to deliver Shipper’s owned and Controlled Gas and Joint Dedicated Liquid Condensate into the applicable Delivery Points. Re-deliveries of Gas and Joint Dedicated Liquid Condensate by Gatherer to or for the account of Shipper at the applicable Delivery Points shall be at such pressures as may exist from time to time in the Gathering System at the applicable Delivery Point. Gatherer’s obligation to re-deliver Gas and Joint Dedicated Liquid Condensate to a given Delivery Point shall be subject to the operational limitations of the Processing Plant or Downstream Pipelines (as applicable) receiving such Gas or Joint Dedicated Liquid Condensate (as applicable), including the Processing Plant’s or Downstream Pipeline’s capacity, Gas measurement capability, operating pressures and any operational balancing agreements as may be applicable.

ARTICLE 7

TERM

ARTICLE 8

TITLE AND CUSTODY

Section 8.1 Title. A nomination of Gas by Shipper shall be deemed a warranty of title to such Gas (including any Drip Condensate attributable to such Gas) by Shipper, or a warranty of the good right in Shipper to deliver such Gas for gathering under this Agreement. Joint Dedicated Liquid Condensate injected by Shipper at the applicable Receipt Point(s) shall be deemed a warranty of title to such injected Joint Dedicated Liquid Condensate by Shipper, or a warranty of the good right in Shipper to deliver such injected Joint Dedicated Liquid Condensate for gathering under this Agreement. By nominating Gas (including any Drip Condensate attributable to such Gas) and/or by injecting Joint Dedicated Liquid Condensate at Receipt Point(s), Shipper also agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Gatherer harmless from any and all Losses resulting from any claims by a Third Party of title or rights to such Gas or Joint Dedicated Liquid Condensate, other than any claims arising out of Gatherer’s breach of its warranty made in the succeeding sentence of this Section 8.1. By receiving Gas from Shipper at the Receipt Points or receiving Joint Dedicated Liquid Condensate injected by Shipper at Receipt Point(s), Gatherer (a) warrants to Shipper that Gatherer has the good right to accept and re-deliver such Gas and/or Joint Dedicated Liquid Condensate received from Shipper under this Agreement free and clear of any title disputes, liens or encumbrances arising by, through or under Gatherer, and (b) agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Shipper harmless from any and all Losses resulting from title disputes, liens or encumbrances arising by, through or under Gatherer.

Section 8.2 Custody. From and after Shipper’s delivery of its owned or Controlled Gas to Gatherer at the Receipt Point(s) or injection of its owned or Controlled Liquid Condensate at the Receipt Point(s), and, subject to Section 3.6 and Section 4.8, until Gatherer’s re-delivery of such Gas and/or such Liquid Condensate to or for Shipper’s account at the applicable Delivery Point(s), as between the Parties, Gatherer shall have custody and control of such Gas and/or Liquid Condensate. In all other circumstances, as between the Parties, Shipper shall be deemed to have custody and control of such Gas and/or Liquid Condensate.

ARTICLE 9

BILLING AND PAYMENT

Section 9.1 Statements. As soon as practicable after the end of each Month but in no event later than ten Business Days following the end of such Month (the “Statement Deadline”),

 

35


Gatherer will render to Shipper an invoice for all amounts owed for Gathering Services and any other amounts as may be due under this Agreement during the preceding Month, net of the amounts payable by Gatherer in respect of (a) Condensate in accordance with Section 5.4, (b) excess Gathering System L&U in accordance with Section 5.5, (c) the use of excess Gathering System Fuel in accordance with Section 5.6 and (d) any other amounts payable by Gatherer to Shipper under this Agreement. Such invoice will include (i) for Gas, the product of (A) the measured volumes of Gas (other than Drip Condensate) in MSCF multiplied by (B) the Gross Heating Value of such Gas and expressed in MMBtus and (ii) for Liquid Condensate and Drip Condensate (if applicable), the measured volumes stated in Barrels, in each case, received and delivered by Gatherer and will be in detail sufficient for Shipper to identify the particular services rendered and the basis for such charges. If actual measurements of volumes of Gas and/or Liquid Condensate are not available by the Statement Deadline, then, on or after such Statement Deadline, Gatherer may prepare and submit its invoice based on Gatherer’s good faith estimate of the volumes of Gas and/or Liquid Condensate received in such Month. If Gatherer submits an invoice based on estimated volumes, Gatherer shall prepare and submit to Shipper an invoice based on actual measurements on or before the close of business of the 45th Day (or if such 45th Day is not a Business Day, on the following Business Day) after the applicable Month of delivery of Gas and/or Liquid Condensate. Gatherer’s invoices shall include information reasonably sufficient to explain and support any estimates and charges reflected therein, the reconciliation of any estimates made in a prior Month to any actual measurements, and any adjustments to prior period volumes and quantities.

Section 9.2 Payments.

(a) Unless otherwise agreed by the Parties, all invoices under this Agreement shall be due and payable in accordance with each invoice’s instructions on or before the later of the 25th Day of each Month and the 10th Day after receipt of the invoice or, if such Day is not a Business Day, then on the next Business Day. All payments by Shipper under this Agreement shall be made by electronic funds transfer to the account designated by Gatherer. Any amounts not paid by the due date will be deemed delinquent and will accrue interest at the Interest Rate, such interest to be calculated from and including the due date but excluding the date the delinquent amount is paid in full. All invoices shall be paid in full, but payment of any disputed amount shall not waive the payor’s right to dispute the invoice in accordance with this Section 9.2. Shipper may, in good faith, dispute the correctness of any invoice or any adjustment to an invoice rendered under this Agreement or request an adjustment of any invoice for any arithmetic or computational error within 24 Months following the end of the Year of the date the invoice, or adjustment to an invoice, was rendered. Any invoice dispute or invoice adjustment shall be in writing and shall state the basis for the dispute or adjustment.

(b) If Shipper, in good faith, disputes the amount of any invoice of Gatherer, Shipper will pay Gatherer such amount, if any, that is not in dispute and shall provide Gatherer notice, no later than within 30 Days after the date that payment of such invoice would be due under Section 9.2(a), of the disputed amount accompanied by documentation to support the disputed amount. If the Parties are unable to resolve such dispute, such dispute may be resolved in accordance with Section 15.7 of this Agreement. Upon resolution of the dispute, any required payment shall be made within 15 Days of such resolution, along with interest accrued at the Interest Rate from and including the due date but excluding the date paid.

 

36


Section 9.3 Audit. Each Party or any Third Party representative of a Party has the right, at its sole expense and during normal working hours, to examine the records of the other Party to the extent reasonably necessary to verify the accuracy of any statement, charge or computation made pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement. The scope of such examination will be limited to the previous 24 Months following the end of the Year in which such notice of audit, statement, charge or computation was presented. No more than one audit shall take place during any Year. If any such examination reveals any inaccuracy in any statement or charge, the necessary adjustments in such statement or charge and the payments necessitated thereby shall be made within 60 Days of resolution of the inaccuracy. This provision of this Agreement will survive any termination of the Agreement for the later of (a) a period of 24 Months from the end of the Year in which the date of such termination occurred or (b) until a dispute initiated within the 24 Month period is finally resolved, in each case for the purpose of such statement and payment objections.

ARTICLE 10

REMEDIES

Section 10.1 Suspension of Performance; Release from Dedication.

(a) If Shipper fails to pay any invoice rendered pursuant to Section 9.2 and such failure is not remedied within 20 Business Days of written notice of such failure to Shipper by Gatherer, Gatherer shall have the right to suspend performance under this Agreement until such amount, including interest at the Interest Rate, is paid.

(b) In the event a Party fails to perform or comply with any material warranty, covenant or obligation contained in this Agreement (other than as provided in Section 10.1(a), and such failure has not been remedied within 45 Days after receipt of written notice from the other Party of such failure, then the non-defaulting Party shall have the right to suspend its performance under this Agreement. If Shipper elects to suspend performance as the result of Gatherer’s uncured default, then (i) Shipper’s Dedicated Production shall be deemed to be temporarily released from the terms of this Agreement during the period of such suspension of performance and (ii) in the event of an interruption in the receipt or delivery of Shipper’s owned or Controlled Gas or Liquid Condensate and/or the provision by Gatherer of the Gathering Services hereunder, that lasts for 45 Days or longer and such interruption is a result of Gatherer’s uncured default, then Shipper may elect to permanently release from dedication under this Agreement the Dedicated Production from Wells affected by such interruption and their respective Drilling Units.

Section 10.2 No Election. In the event of a default by a Party under this Agreement, the other Party shall be entitled in its sole discretion to pursue one or more of the remedies set forth in this Agreement, or such other remedy as may be available to it under this Agreement, at Law or in equity, subject, however, to the limitations set forth in Article 13. No election of remedies shall be required or implied as the result of a Party’s decision to avail itself of a remedy under this Agreement.

FORCE MAJEURE

Section 11.1 Force Majeure. If either Gatherer or Shipper is rendered unable by an event of Force Majeure to carry out, in whole or part, its obligations under this Agreement and such Party gives notice and reasonably full details of the event to the other Party as soon as practicable after the occurrence of the event, then, during the pendency of such Force Majeure, but only during that period, the obligations of the Party affected by the event shall be canceled or suspended, as applicable, to the extent required; provided, however, that notwithstanding anything in the foregoing to the contrary, neither Party shall be relieved from any indemnification obligation or any obligation to make payments, as the result of Force Majeure, regardless of which Party is affected. The Party affected by Force Majeure shall use commercially reasonable efforts to remedy the Force Majeure condition with all reasonable dispatch, shall give notice to the other Party of the termination of the Force Majeure, and shall resume performance of any suspended obligation promptly after termination of such Force Majeure.

(i) Shipper may assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement to any Person to whom Shipper assigns or transfers an interest in any of the Dedicated Properties, insofar as this Agreement relates to such Dedicated Properties, without the consent of Gatherer; provided that (A) such Person assumes the obligations of Shipper under this Agreement insofar as it relates to such Dedicated Properties, (B) if such assignment or transfer is made to an Affiliate of Shipper, Shipper shall not be released from any of its obligations under this Agreement, (C) if such transfer or assignment is to a Person that is not an Affiliate of Shipper, Shipper shall be released from its obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Dedicated Properties so assigned, and (D) except in the case where original Shipper hereunder assigns or transfers all of its interests in the Dedicated Properties to another Person, no assignee of Shipper’s interest in any Dedicated Properties will be entitled to exercise the original Shipper’s rights under Section 14.1(b) and such rights shall remain with the original Shipper; and

(ii) Gatherer may assign its rights and obligations under the Gathering Agreement to any Controlled Affiliate (an “Affiliate Gatherer”) insofar and only insofar as the Gathering Agreement relates to the Dedicated Properties for which such Affiliate Gatherer will be providing Gathering Services (such Dedicated Properties, the “Affiliate Gatherer Dedicated Properties”); provided that if Gatherer assigns certain of its rights and obligations under the Gathering Agreement to an Affiliate Gatherer, Gatherer shall not be released from any of its obligations under the Gathering Agreement; provided further, that in lieu of assigning the Gathering Agreement, Shipper and Affiliate Gatherer may enter into a separate gathering agreement applicable to the Affiliate Gatherer Dedicated Properties that is substantially similar to this Agreement.

 

41


(b) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Shipper may assign Dedicated Properties free of the terms, conditions and obligations of this Agreement in a transaction:

(i) where such assignment is an exchange of undeveloped Dedicated Properties for other properties located in the Dedication Area, which other properties become subject to dedication under this Agreement or

(ii) where such assignment, farmout or other transfer of Dedicated Properties would not cause the amount of Dedicated Properties assigned pursuant to this Section 14.1(b)(ii) during the Term of this Agreement, on an aggregate basis, to exceed the then current Total Shipper Permitted Transfer Acres.

(c) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Shipper may assign ROFO Properties free of the terms, conditions and obligations of this Agreement.

Gathering Agreement


EXHIBIT A

OPERATING TERMS AND CONDITIONS

1.1 Quality Specifications. It is the intent of the Parties that the Gathering System will be operated as a field gathering system, and as such, Gas and Liquid Condensate received from Shipper at the Receipt Points generally will be commercially free from objectionable odor, dust, gum, dirt, sand, impurities and other solid, (other than Liquid Condensate) free liquids or hazardous matter which might interfere with the merchantability of the Gas or Condensate or cause injury to or interference with proper operation of the lines, regulators, meters, or other appliances through which the Gas and Condensate flows.

1.2 Gas Nominations and Scheduling.

(a) Gas shall be gathered only under a nomination submitted by Shipper. For purposes of this Agreement, a nomination is an offer by Shipper to Gatherer of a stated quantity of Gas for gathering from a specified Receipt Points to a specified Delivery Points. The terms of such nomination shall comply with the nominating procedures set forth below.

(b) If required by Gatherer, Shipper shall nominate according to the then effective NAESB standards and any additional Downstream Pipeline’s requirements. Nominations may be submitted by telephone or electronically transmitted according to the same NAESB standards and any additional Downstream Pipeline’s requirements. Should Shipper desire to change the nomination during such Month, such change to the nomination shall be made in accordance with the nomination procedures of the Downstream Pipeline. Gas shall be delivered by Gatherer in accordance with confirmation by the Downstream Pipeline of the nomination and/or changes to the nomination.

1.3 Gas Balancing.

(a) Volumes of Gas delivered by Shipper and received by Gatherer at the Receipt Points shall conform as closely as possible to the volumes nominated by Shipper at each Receipt Point and shall be delivered by Shipper to Gatherer at hourly rates of flow that are, as nearly as practicable, uniform throughout the Day. Subject to Gatherer’s operating conditions and contractual requirements, volumes delivered by Gatherer to Shipper or for Shipper’s account at the Delivery Points shall conform as closely as possible to the volumes nominated by Shipper for delivery by Gatherer that Day at the Delivery Points, less any deductions applicable to Shipper for Gathering System L&U, Gathering System Fuel and any imbalance corrections, except that Gatherer may conform such volumes to the volumes actually delivered by Shipper at Gatherer’s Receipt Points to the extent possible. Upon prior notice to Shipper, Gatherer may temporarily interrupt or curtail receipts and/or deliveries at any time, and from time to time in accordance with operating conditions on the Gathering System in order to balance receipt or deliveries on the Gathering System or to correct any current or anticipated imbalances.

(b) Shipper and Gatherer agree that:

(i) It is the intent of Shipper and Gatherer that Gas be received and re-delivered under this Agreement at the same rates, as nearly as practicable and subject to changes mandated by the Downstream Pipeline, and Shipper shall not in any manner utilize the Gathering System for storage or peaking purposes.

 

A-1


(ii) Gas delivered to Gatherer under this Agreement during any Day shall be delivered at as nearly a constant rate as operating conditions and relevant Downstream Pipelines will permit.

(iii) In the event interruption or curtailment of service is required, Gatherer’s dispatcher will advise (by telephone, following up by e-mail) Shipper of an interruption or curtailment as soon as practicable or in any event within four hours of the occurrence of such event.

(iv) Subject to its adherence to the priority of service and related obligations imposed by the Agreement to which these Operating Terms and Conditions are attached, nothing contained in this Agreement shall preclude Gatherer from taking reasonable actions necessary to adjust receipts or deliveries under this Agreement in order to maintain the operational integrity and safety of the Gathering System.

(c) Gatherer shall maintain an imbalance account (the “Imbalance Account”) for Shipper and each other shipper which reflects for each Month with respect to each shipper (including Shipper) (i) the total volumes received, delivered, and retained; (ii) the total imbalance for such Month, and the cumulative imbalance through the end of such Month; (iii) previous and new imbalance positions; and (iv) any other information deemed necessary and appropriate by Gatherer, all on a total system basis. Gatherer shall provide Shipper reasonable access to Shipper’s Imbalance Account and a statement of Shipper’s Imbalance Account within five Business Days following the end of each Month. Gatherer may provide Shipper with notices of imbalances and the Monthly statement of Shipper’s Imbalance Account by electronic mail, United States Mail or other delivery service, or any other means deemed reasonable by Gatherer under the circumstances.

(d) Each Month, Gatherer and Shipper shall cooperate and use all reasonable efforts to reduce any cumulative imbalance in the Imbalance Account to zero. At any time such an imbalance exists, Gatherer shall advise Shipper to deliver volumes of Gas in addition to its nominated volumes to address an imbalance in favor of Shipper, or to deliver volumes of Gas that are less than its nominated volumes to address an imbalance in favor of Gatherer. Gatherer may also require Shipper to make appropriate adjustments to its nominations and deliveries to correspond to adjustments that Gatherer is required to make by Downstream Pipelines. Gatherer shall also have the right (acting in its reasonable discretion) to adjust nominations or take other actions, including suspending receipts and deliveries of Gas by Gatherer, necessary to correct an existing imbalance or mitigate an anticipated imbalance. The Parties may also cash out cumulative imbalances using the foregoing methodology for any period prior to the end of the Term as the Parties mutually agree, in which case all Monthly imbalances during such period shall be deemed reduced to zero for purposes of the cash out price to be calculated at the end of the Term.

(e) As between the Parties, Shipper shall be responsible for and shall bear any penalties imposed or assessed by Downstream Pipelines for imbalances in receipts and/or

 

A-2


deliveries with respect to and solely attributable to Shipper’s Gas. In the event Gatherer incurs any costs and/or penalties from a Downstream Pipeline as a result of and solely attributable to Shipper’s over-deliveries or under-deliveries, Shipper shall also be responsible for and shall reimburse Gatherer for such costs and/or penalties and indemnify and hold Gatherer harmless and free from all such payments, charges, and/or penalties so long as such imbalances and/or over/under deliveries are caused by and solely attributable to Shipper and not by Gatherer or a Third Party.

(f) At the end of the Term, if any cumulative imbalance remains, the Parties shall cash out such cumulative imbalance using the average first of the Month price for Gas for the prior two production Months at the end of the term reflected by the index price in Inside F.E.R.C., Gas Market Report of Spot Prices Delivered to Pipelines as published by McGraw-Hill for the relevant geographic area where the imbalance occurred. Should such index cease to be published, then the Parties will mutually agree on a similar index or publication for such index price for the relevant geographic area where the imbalance occurred.

1.4 Measurement Devices.

(a) Gatherer shall construct, install, own and operate the Measurement Devices located at the Receipt Points other than the Shipper Meters. The Measurement Devices installed by Gatherer shall be, subject to Shipper’s approval of such location, as close as practicable to the applicable Well or Well Pad. Shipper shall have the right, at its sole expense, to install, own and operate Measurement Devices located at the Receipt Points (such Measurement Devices installed, owned and operated by Shipper or Noble, the “Shipper Meters”); provided that (i) such equipment is installed so as not to interfere with Gatherer’s Measurement Devices (if any) and (ii) Shipper shall take steps that are reasonable and customary in the industry to mitigate or prevent any Gas pulsation problems or Gas quality problems (such as sand or water) that may interfere with Gatherer’s Measurement Devices at the Receipt Points. Gather may elect to use a Shipper Meter as the Measurement Device for a Receipt Point in lieu of constructing, installing, owning and operating a Measurement Device located at such Receipt Point by providing written notice to Shipper. If Gatherer elects to use such Shipper Meter as the Measurement Device for a Receipt Point, Shipper shall provide Gatherer reasonable access to such Shipper Meter, including as set forth under Section 1.4(f) of this Exhibit A, and prior advance written notice of, and the ability to witness, the calibration of such Shipper Meter.

(b) Gatherer shall install, own and operate (or cause to be installed, owned, and operated) the Measurement Devices located at the Delivery Points and any check meters at the Delivery Points. The Measurement Devices must have the capacity to compensate for Gas characteristics in real time and/or through periodic spot sampling and, where applicable, shall also be capable of measuring by component the volumes of NGLs contained in the Gas stream. Gatherer shall provide reasonable access to Gatherer’s Measurement Devices.

(c) Gatherer’s Measurement Devices will be constructed, installed and operated in accordance with the following depending on the type of meters used:

(i) Orifice Meters – in accordance with ANSI/API 2530 (American Gas Association Report No. 3), Orifice Metering of Natural Gas and Other Hydrocarbon Fluids, Second Edition, dated September 1985, and any subsequent amendments, revisions or modifications thereof.

 

A-3


(ii) Electronic Transducers and Flow Computers (solar and otherwise) – in accordance with the applicable American Gas Association standards, including American Gas Association Measurement Committee Report Nos. 3, 5, 6 and 7 and any subsequent amendments, revisions, or modifications thereof.

(iii) Ultrasonic Meters – in accordance with the American Gas Association Measurement Committee Report No. 9 (American Gas Association Report No. 9), dated June 1998, and any subsequent amendments, revisions or modifications thereof.

(d) Gatherer may, but shall not be obligated to, replace or make any alterations to the Measurement Devices necessary to comply any subsequent amendments, revisions or modifications of the American Gas Association Reports cited above.

(e) The accuracy of all owned Measurement Devices will be verified by Gatherer at bi-annual intervals and, if requested, in the presence of a representative of Shipper. Gatherer shall verify the accuracy of any owned Measurement Device before the next bi-annual verification required by the preceding sentence if Shipper requests a special test as described below. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, when Daily deliveries of Gas at any Receipt Point or Delivery Point average 15,000 MSCF per Day or greater during any Month, the accuracy of the Measurement Devices at such Receipt Point or Delivery Point will be verified quarterly. If, upon any test, any Measurement Device is found to be inaccurate by 2% or less, previous readings of such Measurement Device will be considered correct in computing the deliveries of Gas under this Agreement, but such Measurement Device will immediately be adjusted to record accurately (within the manufacturer’s allowance for error). If, upon any test, any Measurement Device is found to be inaccurate by more than 2% of a recording corresponding to the average hourly flow rate for the period since the last test, such Measurement Device will immediately be adjusted to record accurately (within the manufacturer’s allowance for error) and any previous recordings of such Measurement Device will be corrected to zero error for any period which is known definitely or agreed upon. If such period is not known or agreed upon, such correction will be made for a period covering one-half ( 12) of the time elapsed since the date of the latest test, but not to exceed 45 Days when the Measurement Device is tested quarterly and not to exceed 180 Days when the Measurement Device is tested bi-annually. If Shipper desires a special test of any Measurement Device, at least 72 hours’ advance notice will be given to Gatherer by Shipper, and both Parties will cooperate to secure a prompt test of the accuracy of such Measurement Device. If the Measurement Device so tested is found to be inaccurate by 2% or less, Gatherer will have the right to bill Shipper for the costs incurred due to such special test, including any labor and transportation costs, and Shipper will pay such costs promptly upon invoice therefor.

(f) If requested by Shipper the Measurement Devices shall include a sufficient number of data ports, and Gatherer shall permit Shipper to connect to such data ports, as shall be required to provide to Shipper on a real-time basis all measurement data generated by such measurement equipment. Shipper shall be responsible at its own cost for obtaining

 

A-4


equipment and/or services to connect to such data ports and receive and process such data. If requested by Gatherer the Shipper Meters shall include a sufficient number of data ports, and Shipper shall permit Gatherer to connect to such data ports, as shall be required to provide to Gatherer on a real-time basis all measurement data generated by such measurement equipment. Gatherer shall be responsible at its own cost for obtaining equipment and/or services to connect to such data ports and receive and process such data.

(g) The charts and records by which measurements are determined shall be available for the use of both Parties in fulfilling the terms and conditions thereof. Each Party shall, upon request of the other, mail or deliver for checking and calculation all volume and temperature meter records in its possession and used in the measurement of Gas delivered under this Agreement within 30 Days after the last chart for each billing period is removed from the meter. Such data shall be returned within 90 Days after the receipt thereof.

(h) Each Party shall preserve or cause to be preserved for mutual use all test data, charts or other similar records in accordance with the applicable rules and regulations of regulatory bodies having jurisdiction, if any, with respect to the retention of such records, and, in any event, for at least 24 Months.

1.5 Measurement Procedures. The measurements of the quantity and quality of all Gas delivered at the Receipt Points and Delivery Points will be conducted in accordance with the following:

(a) The unit of volume for measurement will be one Standard Cubic Foot. Such measured volumes, converted to MSCF, will be multiplied by their Gross Heating Value per MSCF.

(b) The temperature of the Gas will be determined by a recording thermometer installed so that it may record the temperature of the Gas flowing through the meters, or such other means of recording temperature as may be mutually agreed upon by the Parties. The average of the record to the nearest one degree Fahrenheit, obtained while Gas is being delivered, will be the applicable flowing Gas temperature for the period under consideration.

(c) The specific gravity of the Gas will be determined by a recording gravitometer or chromatographic device installed and located at a suitable point determined by Shipper to record representative specific gravity of the Gas being metered or, at Shipper’s or its designee’s option, by continuous sampling or spot sampling using standard type gravity methods. If a recording gravitometer or chromatographic device is used, the gravity to the nearest one-thousandth (0.001) obtained while Gas is being delivered will be the specific gravity of the Gas sampled for the recording period. The gravity to the nearest one-thousandth (0.001) will be determined concurrently with the accuracy of the Measurement Devices as provided in Section 1.4(e) of this Exhibit A.

(d) Adjustments to measured Gas volumes for the effects of supercompressibility will be made in accordance with accepted American Gas Association standards. Gatherer or its designee will obtain appropriate carbon dioxide and nitrogen mole

 

A-5


fraction values for the Gas delivered as may be required to compute such adjustments in accordance with standard testing procedures. At Gatherer’s or its designee’s option, equations for the calculation of supercompressibility may be taken from the American Gas Association Report No. 8, 1992, Compressibility and Supercompressibility for Natural Gas and Other Hydrocarbon Gases, latest revision.

(e) For purposes of measurement and meter calibration, the atmospheric pressure for each of the Receipt Points and Delivery Points will be assumed to be the pressure value determined by Shipper for the county elevation in which such point is located pursuant to generally accepted industry practices irrespective of the actual atmospheric pressure at such points from time to time.

(f) The Gross Heating Value of the Gas delivered at the Receipt Points and Delivery Points will be determined when each Well is placed on-line and at least bi-annually by means of some approved method of general use in the Gas industry; provided, however, that when Daily deliveries of Gas at any Receipt Point or Delivery Point average 1,000 MSCF per Day or greater during any Month, the Gross Heating Value of the Gas delivered at such Receipt Point or Delivery Point will be determined Monthly by a chromatographic analysis of a flow proportional sample taken at a suitable point on the facilities to be representative of the Gas being metered.

(g) Other tests to determine water content, sulfur and other impurities in the Gas will be conducted whenever requested by either Party and will be conducted in accordance with standard industry testing procedures. The Party requested to perform such tests will bear the cost of such tests only if the Gas tested is determined not to be within the quality specification set forth below. If the Gas is within such quality specification, the requesting Party will bear the cost of such tests.

(h) If, during the Term of this Agreement, a new method or technique is developed with respect to Gas measurement or the determination of the factors used in such Gas measurement, such new method or technique may be substituted for the method set forth in this Agreement; provided that Gatherer receives Shipper’s written consent, and that the new method or technique is in accordance with accepted standards of the American Gas Association.

1.6 Gas Meter Adjustments. In the event a meter is out of service or registering inaccurately, the quantities of Gas received or delivered during such period shall be determined as follows:

(a) By using the registration of any check meter or meters, if installed and accurately registering; or in the absence of such check meters,

(b) By using a meter operating in parallel with the estimated volume corrected for any differences found when the meters are operating properly,

(c) By correcting the error if the percentage of error is ascertainable by calibration, tests or mathematical calculation; or in the absence of check meters and the ability to make corrections under this subparagraph (b), then,

(d) By estimating the quantity received or delivered by receipts or deliveries during periods under similar conditions when the meter was registering accurately.

 

A-6


1.7 Curtailment of Gas. If capacity on the Gathering System, or any Facility Segment, is interrupted, curtailed or reduced, or capacity is insufficient for the needs of all shippers desiring to use such capacity, the holders of Interruptible Service will be curtailed first, the holders of Priority Two Service shall be curtailed second and the holders of Priority One Service shall be curtailed last. As among the holders of Priority One Service, the capacity available on each Facility Segment to Priority One Service under the preceding sentence shall be allocated among the holders of Priority One Service on a pro rata basis, based on the percentage derived by dividing the Daily average volume of Gas actually Tendered by each holder of Priority One Service to Receipt Points on the Gathering System during the prior 90 Day period by the total volume of such Gas actually Tendered by all holders of Priority One Service during such period. As among the holders of Priority Two Service, the capacity available on each Facility Segment to Priority Two Service under the preceding sentence shall be allocated among the holders of Priority Two Service on a pro rata basis, based on the percentage derived by dividing the Daily average volume of Gas actually Tendered by each holder of Priority Two Service to Receipt Points on the Gathering System during the prior 90 Day period by the total volume of such Gas actually Tendered by all holders of Priority One Service during such period. As among holders of Interruptible Service, the capacity available to such service, if any, shall be allocated pro rata among the holders of such service based on the percentage derived by dividing the Daily average volume of Gas actually Tendered by each holder of Interruptible Service to Receipt Points on the Gathering System during the prior 60 Day period by the total volume of such Gas actually Tendered by all holders of Interruptible Service during such period. In the event only one or more non-integrated Facility Segments are curtailed, in each case such pro ration shall be based upon the volumes nominated on the Facility Segment in question.

1.8 Allocations. Allocations required for determining payments or fees due under this Agreement shall be made by Gatherer. Gatherer shall provide an allocation methodology to Shipper for its review and approval. This Section 1.8 and shall be based upon the measurements taken and quantities determined for the applicable Month.

(a) The following definitions shall be applicable:

(i) “Fuel Point” means a point on the Gathering System where Gathering System Fuel is measured, sampled, calculated or consumed; and

(ii) “System Receipt Point” means all receipt points at which Gas is delivered into the Gathering System, including the Receipt Points.

(b) Gathering System Fuel shall be allocated to each System Receipt Point upstream of the applicable Fuel Point by multiplying the Gathering System Fuel in MMBtus measured at the applicable Fuel Point during the applicable Month by a fraction, the numerator of which is the volume of Gas in MSCFs received into the Gathering System at such System Receipt Point during such Month, and the denominator of which is the aggregate volume of Gas in MSCFs received into the Gathering System at all System Receipt Points upstream of the applicable Fuel Point during such Month.

 

A-7


(c) For Facility Segments where there is no injected Liquid Condensate, Drip Condensate collected from a Facility Segment shall be allocated to each Gathering System Receipt Point on such Facility Segment by (i) multiplying the total volume of Gas (in MSCFs) received at each such Receipt Point on such Facility Segment during the applicable Month by the Gallons per MSCF of pentanes and heavier components in such Gas, determined at the relevant System Receipt Point, to determine the theoretical quantity of Drip Condensate in such Gas and (ii) allocating the volume of Drip Condensate measured at the Delivery Point on such Facility Segment during such Month to each such System Receipt Point based on a fraction the numerator of which is the theoretical volume of Drip Condensate attributable to such System Receipt Point during such Month and the denominator of which is the theoretical volume of Drip Condensate for all such System Receipt Points during such Month.

(d) For Facility Segments where there is injected Liquid Condensate, the Liquid Condensate collected from a Facility Segment and sold or delivered to Shipper in accordance with Section 4.8 shall first be allocated to injected Liquid Condensate at each System Receipt Point and then to Drip Condensate from Gas received at System Receipt Points. If the total Condensate collected from the Facility Segment is equal to, or less than, the sum of the injected Liquid Condensate from each receipt point, then the Condensate allocated to each System Receipt Point shall be allocated by (i) dividing the individual System Receipt Point injected Liquid Condensate volume by the sum of the individual System Receipt Point injected Liquid Condensate volumes, and (ii) multiplying the resulting fraction by the total volume of Condensate received from the Facility Segment and sold or delivered to Shipper in accordance with Section 4.8. If the total Condensate volume collected from the Facility Segment and sold or delivered to Shipper in accordance with Section 4.8 is greater than the sum of the injected Liquid Condensate volumes from each System Receipt Point, the allocation to each System Receipt Point first allocates injected Liquid Condensate volumes to each System Receipt Point and then allocates Drip Condensate volumes to each System Receipt Point. In the first allocation of injected Liquid Condensate volumes, each System Receipt Point is credited with 100% of its injected Liquid Condensate volume. In the second allocation of Drip Condensate to each System Receipt Point, the total Drip Condensate volume collected from the Facility Segment is calculated by subtracting the sum of the individual System Receipt Point injected Liquid Condensate volumes received in the Facility Segment from the total Condensate volume received from the Facility Segment and sold or delivered to Shipper in accordance with Section 4.8, and then allocating the total Drip Condensate volume according to the preceding paragraph.

(e) The Gathering System L&U in any Month shall be determined by subtracting from the sum of the total Thermal Content of Gas received at all System Receipt Points on the Gathering System during such Month the sum of (i) the Thermal Content of Gas actually delivered to the Delivery Points on the Gathering System during such Month, (ii) the Thermal Content of Gas consumed as Gathering System Fuel measured at all Fuel Points on the Gathering System during such Month, (iii) the Thermal Content of all Condensate recovered from the Gathering System during such Month (other than Liquid Condensate vaporized and re-injected into the Gas stream), and (iv) the Thermal Content of fuel, shrinkage, and lost and unaccounted for Gas associated with any processing carried out by or on behalf of Shipper and other shippers between the System Receipt Points and the Delivery Points, as allocated to Producer pursuant to its agreement with the processor.
