Please note that funding allocations and individual sub-award amounts are subject to change. Sub-recipients shall recognize and agree that both the initial provision of funding and the continuation of such funding under a grant agreement is expressly depending upon the availability to the LPS of funds appropriated by the State or Federal legislature from State and/or Federal revenue or such other funding sources as may be applicable. A failure of LPS to make any payment under a grant agreement or to observe and perform any condition on its part to be performed under a grant agreement as a result of the failure of the State or Federal legislature to appropriate funds shall not in any manner constitute a breach of a grant agreement by LPS or an event of default under a grant agreement and LPS shall not be held liable for any breach of a grant agreement because of the absence of available funding appropriations. In addition, future funding shall not be anticipated from LPS beyond the duration of the award period set forth in a grant agreement and in no event shall a grant agreement be construed as a commitment by LPS to expend funds beyond the termination date set in a grant agreement.
