requiring payment to El Paso at the appropriate rate

set forth in Section 19.12(e)(iv) above and such

Shipper also has an Unauthorized Gas balance, as

such term is defined in Section 27.1 of these

General Terms and Conditions, such Unauthorized Gas

balance may be offset against the quantities due

El Paso within the same production basin and

adjusted to reflect the point at which the imbalance

is held. At the time of invoicing for the net

imbalance, El Paso shall appropriately invoice or

account for any production area charges and liquid

credits applicable to the unauthorized gas used as

an offset. This provision is not applicable to the

Unauthorized Gas retained as a penalty pursuant to

Section 27 of these General Terms and Conditions.

Prior to any offsets, El Paso at its option may

first offset any under or over-deliveries between

contracts with such Shipper.
