Operations Subsequent to Completion of the ▇▇▇▇▇. Beginning with the month in which a well drilled under this Agreement begins to produce, Operator shall be entitled to an operating fee of $285 per month for each well being operated under this Agreement, proportionately reduced to the extent the Developer owns less than 100% of the Working Interest in the ▇▇▇▇▇. This fee shall be in lieu of any direct charges by Operator for its services or the provision by Operator of its equipment for normal superintendence and maintenance of the ▇▇▇▇▇ and related pipelines and facilities. The operating fees shall cover all normal, regularly recurring operating expenses for the production, delivery and sale of natural gas, including without limitation: (i) well tending, routine maintenance and adjustment; (ii) reading meters, recording production, pumping, maintaining appropriate books and records; (iii) preparing reports to the Developer and government agencies; and (iv) collecting and disbursing revenues. The operating fees shall not cover costs and expenses related to the following: (i) the production and sale of oil; (ii) the collection and disposal of salt water or other liquids produced by the ▇▇▇▇▇; (iii) the rebuilding of access roads; and (iv) the purchase of equipment, materials or third party services; which, subject to the provisions of sub-section (c) of this Section 6, shall be paid by the Developer in proportion to the share of the Working Interest owned by the Developer in the ▇▇▇▇▇. Any well which is temporarily abandoned or shut-in continuously for the entire month shall not be considered a producing well for purposes of determining the number of ▇▇▇▇▇ in the month subject to the operating fee.
