		(a)	Pipeline
                                         for the Shareholders’ Contracted Capacity: During the Ship or Pay Term, in relation
                                         with the Shareholders’ Contracted Capacity, the Shipper that has not nominated and/or used
                                         all of the Shipper's Contracted Capacity with respect to one Nomination Month, generating
                                         Unused Capacity, and that this Capacity is used by any of the other Shareholder shippers
                                         and/or their Affiliates, credit notes will then be issued in favor of the under-utilizing
                                         Shipper. For such purposes, the value of the credit note shall be equal to that at which
                                         Bicentenario has effectively invoiced said Unused Capacity to the shipper Shareholder
                                         and/or its Affiliates and these will be accredited to the Service payment of the immediately
                                         subsequent month after issuing said credit note. In the event of more than one shipper

                                         proportionately for Unused Capacity of all shippers that have generated Unused Capacity
                                         in an Operation Month.

 

In
the event in which Bicentenario has effectively commercialized with a third party the Unused Capacity as available capacity of
the Pipeline, the value of the credit note shall be equal to the value at which Bicentenario has effectively commercialized said
Unused Capacity. In the event of more than one shipper generating Unused Capacity, the credit note will be issued proportionately
for Unused Capacity of all shippers that have generated Unused Capacity in an Operation Month.

 

It
is understood that the cost and expenses incurred on by Bicentenario for commercialization shall be borne by the shipper that
generated the commercialized Unused Capacity, and should that Unused Capacity be used by a Shareholder, said charge shall not
be applicable. In any event, payment of interest in favor of the Shipper will not apply on account of commercialization of its
Unused Capacity.

                                         Capacity, Bicentenario shall issue the respective invoice for a value equivalent to the
                                         MME  Fee multiplied by the barrels effectively transported during the Operation Month,
                                         chargeable to the advance payments referred to in Section 4.01(b).
	 	 	 
	 	 	In the event that Bicentenario has effectively
                                         commercialized with a third party the Excess Capacity as Pipeline available capacity,
                                         the values that are invoiced and charged shall be considered as Bicentenario revenues
                                         and there will be no possibility of either credit notes or recognition of interest payment
                                         in favor of the Shipper.
