Common use of Processing Clause in Contracts

Processing. Assignor may, or may by contract cause a Third Person to, dehydrate, separate, treat, compress or otherwise process Assignor’s Net Share of Minerals (including Assignee Minerals) and may commit any of the Subject Interests (including the Royalty Interest attributable thereto) to an agreement for processing Minerals (pursuant to which, for example, the plant owner or operator receives a portion of the Subject Minerals or plant products therefrom or proceeds of the sale thereof as a fee for processing), so long as (a) Assignor enters into such processing arrangements in good faith and in accordance with the Reasonably Prudent Operator Standard, and (b) any such processing arrangements entered into with Affiliates of Assignor contain rates and charges that are comparable to the prevailing charges for similar services in the applicable area. Assignee shall be bound by such arrangements and shall permit Assignor’s Net Share of Minerals (including Assignee Minerals) to be processed by Assignor or its contractor. Assignee shall not, however, be personally liable for any costs or risks associated with such processing operations, but Assignee shall indirectly suffer the energy content reduction and volume reductions associated with processing through corresponding reductions in the content and volumes of Assignee Minerals.
