Expansion of Gathering System; Connection of ▇▇▇▇▇; Delivery Points. (a) New Receipt Points within the Applicable Area. If, at any time following the Effective Date and during the term hereof, Producer desires Gatherer to construct pipelines and facilities to establish any additional new Receipt Point(s) within the Applicable Area that was not subject to a Conflicting Dedication (“Additional Receipt Points”), Producer will deliver to Gatherer written notice (“Additional Connection Notice”) not less than 24 Months prior to the Anticipated Production Date. (i) The Additional Connection Notice will include the name and planned location of the new Receipt Point, the Anticipated Production Date, the required delivery pressure, the required Delivery Point(s), Producer’s applicable working interest in the planned ▇▇▇▇▇, the operator, target formation and depth, minimum lateral length, and depth of the planned ▇▇▇▇▇, the numbers of ▇▇▇▇▇ to be connected (if connecting to a Well Pad), the number of existing ▇▇▇▇▇, Producer’s twenty-four (24) Month rolling production forecast for the new Receipt Point, the availability of space on the Well Pad for the installation of the applicable Receipt Point and dehydration facilities, and any other information that Gatherer reasonably requests in association with such Additional Receipt Point (collectively, “Connection Notice Information”), provided Gatherer acknowledges that the Connection Notice Information shall be based upon Producer’s reasonable and good faith forecast, which forecast is subject to change in Producer’s sole discretion for which Producer shall have no liability except as expressly set forth hereunder. The Parties shall coordinate and reasonably cooperate with respect to the design, route and size of the facilities (including pipe diameter and dehydration equipment) taking into account Producer’s volume forecasts and required delivery pressure. (ii) If the Connection Notice Information provided with respect to any Connection Notice meets the Additional Connection Criteria for the ▇▇▇▇▇ to be connected to the proposed Receipt Point, Gatherer will complete construction of all facilities for and establish the Additional Receipt Point(s), at Gatherer’s sole cost and expense, provided however, Gatherer may elect to complete any Additional Receipt Point regardless of whether the Connection Notice Information provided with respect to any Connection Notice meets the Additional Connection Criteria in its sole discretion. (iii) With respect to Additional Receipt Points that Gatherer elects to connect to or is required to connect to hereunder, not later than 270 Days prior to the Anticipated Production Date set forth in each Additional Connection Notice (the “Additional Confirmation Date”), Producer will deliver a notice to Gatherer either confirming the Additional Connection Notice or cancelling the Additional Connection Notice (a “Additional Confirmation Notice”). Each Additional Confirmation Notice confirming an Additional Connection Notice will contain Producer’s good faith update, if any, to the applicable Connection Notice Information, including (subject to Section 3.3(a)(iv)) the Anticipated Production Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing in this Section 3.3(a)(iii), in the event Producer fails to deliver the Additional Confirmation Notice on or before 270 Days prior to the Anticipated Production Date set forth in an Additional Connection Notice, the Anticipated Production Date for such Additional Receipt Point will be extended on a day-for-day basis until Producer issues the Additional Confirmation Notice to Gatherer. (iv) Additionally, in the event Producer modifies any of the information provided in the Connection Notice Information such that the Additional Connection Notice would not meet the Additional Connection Criteria or, following delivery of an Additional Connection Notice, changes to the location of the Additional Receipt Point such that it is no longer located within the LOD, then Gatherer shall have no further obligation to construct such Additional Receipt Point, subject to Section 3.3(d), and if Producer then elects not to make the connection as provided in Section 3.3(d)(iii)(B), Producer shall reimburse Gatherer in accordance with Section 3.3(f).
