20.5 Gulf Crossing may agree to pay all or part of the costs of the
Requested Facilities and their Construction, other related costs
and tax gross up if the Construction is economically or
operationally beneficial to Gulf Crossing. In determining
economic or operational benefit, Gulf Crossing may consider the
following factors, among others: costs of the Requested
Facilities and their Construction; the estimated incremental
throughput and/or revenues attributable to the Requested
Facilities; the related costs and tax gross up attributable to
the Requested Facilities; the marketability of the capacity
associated with the Requested Facilities; the location of the
markets associated with the Requested Facilities; the
interruptible or firm nature of the transportation service; the
availability of capital funds on terms and conditions acceptable
to Gulf Crossing; the time value of money; increased system or
operational reliability or flexibility; and increased access to
new supplies or markets.
20.6 Subject to Section 20.3 above, the Requesting Customer may
construct its own interconnect facilities at its sole expense;
provided, however, such interconnecting facilities shall meet all
of Gulf Crossing's technical and engineering requirements. These
interconnect facilities shall be built to Gulf Crossing's
pipeline but only Gulf Crossing shall construct the tap, at the
Requesting Customers sole cost, to complete the interconnect.
20.7 Lateral Line Policy - Gulf Crossing will not build or contribute
to the cost of building any lateral pipelines to Customers,
except where Gulf Crossing determines that such construction or
contribution is economically advantageous to Gulf Crossing or
Gulf Crossing is obligated, pursuant to its agreements for
service to its Customers to seek requisite authorization to
expand, enlarge or augment its existing lateral pipelines, where
necessary, to meet the increased requirements of Customers
receiving service. This Section shall not require Gulf Crossing
to file an application for a certificate of public convenience
and necessity under Section 7(c) of the Natural Gas Act unless
obligated to do so pursuant to an agreement. Further, this
Section shall not prevent Gulf Crossing from contesting an
application for service.
