		Section 3.05	– Sender’s Contracted Capacity



 


		(a)	Throughout the Term for the Provision of the Service, the Sender shall be entitled to a contracted
capacity subject to the existence of Excess Capacity for the transportation of Crude Oil owned by the Sender for up to 10,000
BPDC (the “Contracted Capacity”), provided that the Quality Specifications of the Crude Oil owned by the Sender
meet those established in this Agreement.



 


		(b)	If the Sender were to nominate a volume higher than its Contracted Capacity (the “Additional
Capacity”), said capacity will be subject to the existence of Excess Capacity and it must be subject to the Nomination

Capacity nominated.



 


		Section 3.06	– Disposal of the Not - Utilized Capacity



 


		(a)	The Not - Utilized Capacity (as this term is defined below) will be offered by Cenit as part of

Released Capacity (the “Not - Utilized Capacity”).



 


		(c)	The utilization on Cenit’s part of the Not - Utilized Capacity according to the provisions

    	10



    	 



    

  


	Crude Oil Transportation Agreement Ship and Pay	


 


		(b)	In the event that the Sender nominates for transportation Crude Oil that does not meet the Quality
Specifications established in Annex C, which together with all the Crude Oils nominated in the Pipeline may generate a reduction
of the Effective Capacity of the Pipeline, or can affect or be disadvantageous for the quality of the other Crude Oils to be delivered
for transportation on the Pipeline, Cenit will consider this effect and it could be reflected in a reduction of the capacity to
be assigned to the Sender as a consequence of the change of Quality Specifications and that will not vary or reduce the amount
payable by the Sender, in the terms and conditions set forth by Clause 5 of this Agreement.



 


		(c)	In the event that the Sender delivers for the provision of the Service Crude Oil that does not
meet the Quality Specifications set forth in Annex C and that affects the Effective Capacity of the Pipeline, the Sender accepts,
provided that it is operationally possible, that a smaller amount will be transported due to the change of quality of the Crude
Oil to be delivered or that the Service will not be provided if such change of the quality of the Crude Oil prevents its transportation
without varying or reducing the amount payable by the Sender, in the terms and conditions set forth in Clause 5 of this Agreement.



 


Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the Sender will be the sole responsible for the impacts that may occur because of the delivery of a quantity different from the
one nominated, in relation to the mix of Crude Oil transported by Cenit to the other Senders of the Pipeline, and therefore, as
from this moment, the Sender ensures and guarantees that it will hold Cenit harmless for this reason if any claim, damage cost
or loss derived from affecting the blend occurs.

		Clause 5.	Price and Terms of payment of the Service



 


		Section 5.01	– Amount of the Agreement

Clause 17 of this Agreement.


 


Under no circumstances may the Sender be
exonerated or released from its responsibility to pay the Fee for the number of barrels actually transported in the respective
Month of Operation during the Term for the Provision of the Service as per the provisions of this Agreement.


 


		Section 5.02	–  Modality
of Payment of the Service



 


The Agreement is made under the “Ship
and Pay” modality, so the Sender, throughout the Term for the Provision of the Service, has the obligation to pay to Cenit

Month of Operation.


 


		Section 5.03	– Fee



 


The Sender agrees, irrevocably and
unconditionally, by the execution of this Agreement to the payment of the fee approved by the Ministry of Mines and Energy
for each Barrel effectively transported under the Sender’s Contracted Capacity namely the sum of US$ 0.5539 per Barrel
(the “Fee”). The Fee must be paid by the Sender pursuant to the provisions of Section 5.04 of this
Agreement.


 


“The Fee will be readjusted on an
annual basis, on the first (1st) day of July of every year using the formula for the calculation of the so – called
“Factor Φ” which has been defined by Resolutions No. 72 146 of the 7th of May of 2014 and 72 216
of 2014  “whereby the methodology for the determination of fees for the transportation of Crude Oil through pipelines
is established”, enacted by the Ministry of Mines and Energy, as amended, supplemented or replaced from time to time.

the Service the sum of money resulting from the multiplication of the Fee, by the number of Barrels nominated and accepted for
the Month of Operation, without prejudice to the credit notes contemplated by Section 5.06.

	Crude Oil Transportation Agreement Ship and Pay	


 


		(c)	Frequency and Term for the Payment: The Sender irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to
pay the sums of money established in Section 5.04(b), on a monthly basis (as applicalbe), within thirty (30) Days after the date
in which Cenit produces the invoice for the provision of the Service.



 


		(d)	Currency of Payment: The payments will be made in Colombian pesos using the arithmetic average
of the Representative Market Rate certified by the Financial Superintendence or the entity that takes its place, of the first day
of the month that corresponds to the Service invoice.



 


		(e)	Place of Payment: The Sender must make the payment by bank deposit or transfer into any
of the bank accounts that Cenit, as the holder, informs to the Sender in each invoice.



 


		Section 5.05	– Transportation Tax



 


		(a)	The Sender shall be responsible for the transportation tax as per the provisions of the regulations
in force. The calculation of the amount payable as transportation tax on the Sender’s charge will be made based on the “Net
Standard Volume” (“NSV”) without considering the compensation reported in the Volumetric Compensation
by Quality of the Pipeline and certified by the independent inspector at the Point of Entry of the Pipeline.



 


		(b)	The process for the payment of the transportation tax will be performed by Cenit in its capacity
as Transporter. However, the amount determined according to the legal procedure in force will be paid to Cenit by the Sender.



 


		(c)	The transportation tax will be invoiced on a quarterly basis, independent from the invoices for
the Service, no later than twenty (20) Days after the closing of the Volumetric Compensation by Quality of the last month of the
quarter, by the issuance of an invoice or equivalent document in Colombian pesos charged to the Sender, based on the NSV to which
the Volumetric Compensation by Quality has not been applied. The Sender irrevocably agrees to pay the invoice or equivalent document
in Colombian Pesos within fifteen (15) Days after the filing of the invoice or bill issued by Cenit. The objections to the invoice
will not interrupt the term for the payment of the invoice. The delays in the payment thereof will generate late payment interest.



 


		(d)	For information purposes, Cenit will send to the Sender the information of the estimate of the
amount of the transportation tax every month, on the last day of the month after the closing of the Volumetric Compensation by
Quality at the latest.



 


		(e)	The adjustments in the invoicing or equivalent document related to the Transportation tax, will
be made when: (i) there are adjustments in the amount charged to the Sender, derived from the calculation received by the Ministry
of Mines and Energy; or (ii) there are adjustments due to objections to the invoices, as per the procedure set forth by the Parties.
Those adjustments will be acknowledged and offset by Cenit against the amounts of the liquidation of the immediately subsequent
quarter.

		Section 5.06	– Adjustments of the Invoicing for Service



 


		(a)	Cenit will make adjustments of the invoices based on the “Gross Standard Volumes” reported
in the CVC of each Pipeline and certified by the Independent Inspector of the Pipeline’s Entry Point.



 


		(b)	Cenit will make adjustments of the invoices based on the volumes invoiced and the volumes actually
transported. If as a result of the adjustment the subject matter of this item it is determined that the SENDER made an excess payment
for the Service, CENIT will compensate the SENDER by generating a credit note for the amounts paid in excess, in favor of the SENDER,
to be credited to the invoices issued for the services provided under this Agreement or under other agreements entered into by
the SENDER and CENIT. In case that the Term for the Provision of the Service hereunder has ended or if there is no other contractual
