Common use of Default Budget Clause in Contracts

Default Budget. In the event the LIPA Board of Trustees has not approved a Consolidated LIPA Budget by the beginning of a Contract Year, the approved Consolidated LIPA Budget for the immediately preceding Contract Year (as the same may have been amended) as adjusted for inflation (such Consolidated LIPA Budget, a “Default Budget”) will remain in effect until such time as a Consolidated LIPA Budget for that Contract Year is so approved by the Parties or effected in accordance with Section 8.6(G)(3) hereof. Expenditures made pursuant to a Default Budget, and any related Excess Expenditures, shall be deemed as if made in accordance with an approved Consolidated LIPA Budget.
