Common use of In-Kind Balancing Clause in Contracts

In-Kind Balancing. If all of the downstream pipelines with Delivery Points on a Super-System (or single System not part of a Super-System) require Imbalances to be resolved via in-kind balancing, then the Imbalance on such Super-System or System will be settled in the following manner: (a) if there is a Negative Imbalance then Gatherer will reduce Shipper’s nomination to such Super-System or System by a mutually acceptable percentage below the actual deliveries that is calculated to fully cure such Negative Imbalance within three (3) months, and such reduction will continue until such Negative Imbalance is eliminated; and (b) if there is a Positive Imbalance then Shipper will either adjust its production downward in the subsequent months or increase its nominations to such Super-System or System by a mutually acceptable percentage in either event in an amount that is calculated to fully cure such Positive Imbalance within three (3) months, and such adjustment will continue until such Positive Imbalance is eliminated.
