This agreement shall provide that the expense of returning a person to the other state or territory and of returning a person from the other state or territory to this state, if applicable, shall be paid by the other state or territory. Any waiver of extradition from this state to another state or territory for the purposes of trial, sentence or punishment in the other state or territory, made by a person imprisoned or held under criminal proceedings pending against the person in this state, shall include a waiver of extradition for the return of a person to this state from the other state or territory for trial, sentence or punishment in this state on the charges against the person at the time of the execution of this waiver, at any time agreed upon by the governor of this state and executive authority of the other state or territory, at the time of this waiver or any later time.
