Upon Company approval of such budget, Operator shall have the authority to award and execute contracts within the expenditure limits set forth in such budget.  When expense and capital appropriation requests are not required (such as with annual maintenance contracts), Operator shall have the authority to award and execute such contracts without additional Company approval, subject to Section 2.05 of this Agreement.

 

(b)                                 If it appears at any time after Operator receives a budget approved by Company that the total actual expenditures for any calendar Year will exceed the total annual budgeted amount for such calendar Year, Operator shall notify Company of such expected excess expenditure as part of the normal Monthly billing process.  If it subsequently appears that the total actual expenditures for any calendar Year will exceed ten percent (10%) of the total annual budgeted amount (“Overrun”), Operator shall submit to Company for approval an amendment to the then-applicable budget, together with an explanation of the reason(s) for the anticipated budget Overrun.  As soon as practicable following the last Day of each Month, Operator shall submit to Company a Monthly report comparing actual expenditures for such Month to budgeted operating expenses and capital projects for such Month.

3.04                        Safety, Environmental and Emergency Expenditures.  Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, Operator may incur (and be reimbursed for) any expenditures or take any other actions as Operator in its reasonable judgment deems to be immediately necessary:  (a) to protect the environment from immediate and present harm; (b) to protect the health and safety of Persons from immediate and present harm; (c) to safeguard lives or property in connection with the initial response to any emergencies affecting the Operated Assets; and (d) proceed with maintenance or repair work necessary to keep the Operated Assets operating, or to restore the Operated Assets to operating conditions; however, it is also understood that every reasonable effort will be made by

(b)                                 Payments by Company.  Company shall pay all charges from Operator in accordance with Section 3.05 of the Agreement.

 

(c)                                  Adjustments.  Except as otherwise provided in the Agreement, the actual payment of any such bills shall not prejudice the right of Company to protest or question the correctness or appropriateness thereof; provided, however, that all bills and statements rendered to Company during any calendar Year shall conclusively be presumed to be true and correct after twenty-four (24) Months following the end of any such calendar Year, unless prior to the end of said twenty-four (24) Month period Company takes written exception thereto and makes a claim against Operator for adjustment.

by Company.
