    1. Upon oral or written request by Receiving Company, Providing Company will provide legal, regulatory, environmental, accounting, engineering, pipeline integrity transmission and general administrative services, including collection of costs, and such related services as are deemed necessary or desirable.

    2. All services rendered under and in accordance with this Agreement shall be provided at cost.
    3. The cost of rendering such services shall include: (1) a portion of the salaries and wages of employees of Providing Company determined according to the time devoted by such employees to the performance of services hereunder for Receiving Company; (2) the costs of such employees' benefits, payroll taxes and compensated absences attributable to salaries and wages directly billed, as determined in accordance with Providing Company policies and procedures in place from time to time, (3) all other out-of-pocket operating costs, including expenses for transportation, tolls and other expenses incurred by Providing Company or its employees in connection with the performance of services under this Agreement , (4) the actual costs of materials and supplies furnished by Providing Company in connection with the performance of services under this Agreement, and (5) administrative and general costs attributable to services performed under this Agreement (including reasonable amounts for general office maintenance and depreciation, amortization, return and related taxes on Providing Company's general plant investment), determined in accordance with Providing Company's policies and procedures.
