3.2.6 Budget Deficit Reconciliation. In the event of a Budget Deficit, Medical Group shall not be responsible for making any payments under the PacifiCare POS Control Program. However, fifty percent (50%) of the Budget Deficit amount shall be considered a Medical Group obligation for purposes of offsetting surpluses under other incentive programs under the Agreement.
