provide that any variance between actual quantities and scheduled
and confirmed quantities for any day shall be resolved in-kind
promptly or Cash-out pursuant to the terms of the Operational
Balancing Agreement. To facilitate such determination of
variances on a timely basis, Pipeline and the OBA Party will agree
in the Operational Balancing Agreement on necessary measurement
and accounting procedures. Pipeline shall post on the LINKþ

are subject to an Operational Balancing Agreement. Pipeline will
also provide to any party upon request a copy of any executed
Operational Balancing Agreement.
