a. The right to use and consume the Gas produced from the Leases prior to delivery to Gatherer for the following purposes:
(i) For consumption as fuel in the development and operation of the Leases from which the Gas is produced.
(ii) For delivery to the lessors and owners of overriding royalties or other interests in the Leases, if such lessors and owners are entitled to use such Gas or take such Gas in kind under the terms of the Leases and other definitive instruments creating their interests entered into (1) prior to the Effective Date, with respect to Leases owned by Producer at the Effective Date, or (2) prior to the date such Leases are acquired by Producer, with respect to Leases acquired by Producer after the Effective Date.
(iii) For consumption as fuel in the operation of the facilities which Producer may install in order to deliver Gas hereunder in accordance with the terms hereof.
(iv) Reasonable and customary amounts of Gas for its operational needs including gas lift (estimated not to exceed 500 Mcfd as of the Effective Date) and secondary or tertiary recovery projects to the extent communicated to Gatherer pursuant to Section 2.7.
b. The right to pool or unitize the Leases (or any portion thereof) with other lands and leases. In the event of any such pooling or unitization, the Agreement will cover Producer's interest in the pool or unit and the Gas attributable thereto to the extent that such interest is derived from Producer's interest in the Leases.

Producer reserves the right to determine the maximum efficient rate of flow for any Well (including the right to curtail production due to low market demand for Gas) and shall not be required to produce any Well or Wxxxx in any manner which in its sole judgment and discretion would not constitute good operating practice, nor shall Producer be obligated to drill additional Wxxxx or to deepen, repair or rework any existing Wxxxx.
