Common use of Budgeting Process Clause in Contracts

Budgeting Process. During the annual budgeting process, ▇▇▇ ----------------- shall project ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ for the sale of Telecommunications Services over the System for the coming year, as described in Section 5.3. In addition, SRP and its Affiliates shall project the type and quantity of Utilicom Services that will be provided over the System in the coming year. ▇▇▇ shall calculate the total charges that SRP and its Affiliates, or their Utilicom Services customers, would be billed for the projected Utilicom Services if such services were treated as Telecommunications Services sold by ▇▇▇ to its Telecommunications Services customers. The charges shall be calculated using ELI's Preferred Rates to be in effect for the coming year. The charges shall be calculated as additional marginal costs to a customer. For example, the use of an existing customer line for Utilicom Services shall not be considered in the calculation, because this use would not create additional charges to the customer. If the calculation of total Utilicom Services charges based on the SRP budget (at ELI's Preferred Rates) exceeds five percent (5%) of the total projected ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ for the sale of Telecommunications Services for such year, SRP and its Affiliates, shall reduce their projected Utilicom Services to a level that does not exceed such five percent (5%) limit. Alternatively, upon request by SRP and its Affiliates, ▇▇▇ shall sell at ELI's Preferred Rates in effect for such coming year the excess volume of services desired by them for their Utilicom Services customers to the extent that ▇▇▇ reasonably has available capacity.
