modify or rearrange Tap Facilities or Tap and Connecting Facilities for any
requesting party who agrees to pay Transporter for the cost of such Construction
as set forth in a facilities agreement and which may also be set forth in a
Transportation Service Agreement. On a not unduly discriminatory basis,
Transporter may condition its Construction of Tap Facilities or Tap and
Connecting Facilities on payment from the requesting party of any or all costs
which are directly related to the Construction of the Tap Facilities or Tap and
Connecting Facilities and which arise prior to the in-service date of the
facilities ("Related Costs"). These Related Costs include, but are not limited
to, operating and maintenance expenses, administrative and general expenses,
taxes other than income taxes, depreciation costs and the time value of money as
set forth in a facilities agreement. In any agreement for the Construction of
Tap Facilities or Tap and Connecting Facilities, Transporter and the requesting
party shall mutually agree to one or a combination of the following methods of
payment:
4.1 Unless otherwise agreed, the requesting party shall pay Transporter for
the costs of Construction and any applicable Related Costs prior to the
commencement of Construction of the Tap Facilities or Tap and Connecting
Facilities. On a basis which is not unduly discriminatory, Transporter
also may require the requesting party to pay a gross-up for state and
federal income taxes. These costs may also be set forth in a
Transportation Service Agreement. For requesting parties paying
Transporter in accordance with this Section 4.1, service shall not
commence at the Tap Facilities or Tap and Connecting Facilities until all
costs of Construction and applicable Related Costs have been paid by the
requesting party to Transporter.
4.2 The requesting party shall pay Transporter over time for the costs of
Construction and any applicable Related Costs including the time value
of money. On a basis which is not unduly discriminatory, Transporter
also may require the requesting party to pay a gross-up for state and
federal income taxes. These costs shall also be set forth in a
Transportation Service Agreement. A requesting party paying Transporter
in accordance with this Section 4.2 is not required to pay for all costs
of Construction and any Related Costs prior to the commencement of
service at the Tap Facilities or Tap and Connecting Facilities.
5. On a not unduly discriminatory basis, Transporter may agree to pay for all or
part of the costs for the Construction of Tap Facilities or Tap and Connecting
Facilities if the Construction is economically or operationally beneficial to
Transporter. Transporter shall post notice of any such subsidy on PASSKEY for a
period of thirty (30) days following any such agreement. In determining
