constructed by Transporter hereunder will be paid for by Shipper as

the actual construction costs of such facilities and the present
value of Transporter's future tax benefits resulting from tax

between Transporter and Shipper. Determination of the initial

of the facilities. Such applicable cost of service will be
adjusted prospectively to reflect Commission-approved cost
factors, including only operation and maintenance and
administrative and general costs actually incurred as a result of
