has ended, the Unauthorized Gas penalty of retention of gas

remains applicable on each subsequent day without further

notification and the party(ies) shall not resume or continue

flow of Unauthorized Gas from a well, plant or interconnected

pipeline or gathering facility.

27.3 Notification of Unauthorized Gas Not Causing a Critical

Situation - After the end of each month El Paso shall send

each operator a notice of Unauthorized Gas flow entitled

succeeding statement. Such notice shall include the volume,

the receipt point(s) and the time frame in which the

Unauthorized Gas was received into El Paso's system.
