Public Liability Insurance (a) The public liability insurance referred to in paragraph 12.1(b) shall (i) provide that in as much as such policies cover more than one insured, all terms, conditions, insuring agreements and endorsements, with the exception of limits of liability, deductibles or retentions and liability for premiums, commissions, assessments or calls (which shall be solely a liability of Lessee), shall operate in the same manner as if there were a separate policy or policies covering each insured, (ii) waive any rights of subrogation of the insurers against Owner Participant, Lessor, the Trust Company, the Indenture Trustee, the Policy Provider and Loan Participant (iii) provide that neither Owner Participant, Lessor, the Trust Company, the Policy Provider, the Indenture Trustee nor Loan Participant shall have any responsibility for any insurance premiums, whether for coverage before or after cancellation or termination of any such policies as to Lessee and (iv) be primary without contribution from any similar insurance maintained by Owner Participant, Lessor, the Trust Company, the Indenture Trustee, the Policy Provider or Loan Participant.
(b) Lessee shall use its reasonable efforts to obtain public liability insurance policies which stipulate that coverage thereunder will not be invalidated (as to Owner Participant, Loan Participant, Lessor, as Lessor of the Units and in its individual capacity, and the Indenture Trustee) by any act or neglect of Lessee, or any breach or violation by Lessee of any warranties, declarations or conditions contained in such policies, but shall be under no obligation to obtain such policies containing such stipulations if they are not available to Lessee at commercially reasonable rates in the markets in which Lessee has then placed its insurance program.
(c) In the event any public liability insurance policy or coverage thereunder which are required to be maintained under Section 12.1(b) shall not be available to Lessee in the commercial insurance market on commercially reasonable terms, Lessor shall not unreasonably withhold its agreement to waive such requirement. Lessee shall make written request for any such waiver in writing, accompanied by written reports prepared, at Lessee's option, either by (i) one independent insurance advisor chosen by Lessee and Lessor or (ii) three independent insurance advisors, one chosen by Lessor, one chosen by Lessee and one chosen by the other two advisors (one of which may be the regular insurance broker or brokers of Lessee). The fees and expenses of all such advisors shall be paid by Lessee. The written reports required hereunder shall unanimously (x) state that such insurance (or the required coverage thereunder) is not reasonably available to Lessee at commercially reasonable premiums in the commercial insurance markets within which Lessee or the Manager normally purchases its insurance from insurers, acceptable to Lessee, with "A.M. Best's" rating of A- or better for railcars of similar type and capacity and (y) explain in detail the basis for such conclusions. At any time after the granting of such waiver, but not more often than once a year, Lessor may make a written request for a supplemental report (in form reasonably acceptable to Lessor) from such insurance advisor(s) updating the prior report and reaffirming the conclusions set forth therein. Lessee shall provide any such required supplemental report within 60 days after receipt of the written request therefor. Any such waiver shall be effective for only as long as such insurance is not reasonably available to Lessee in the commercial markets in which Lessee normally purchases its insurance at commercially reasonable rates, it being understood that the failure of Lessee to furnish timely any such supplemental report shall be conclusive evidence that such condition no longer exists. If such supplemental report shows that such coverage is available, Lessee shall within 90 days of such report obtain such insurance coverage. During any period with respect to which such waiver has been granted and remains in effect under this Section 12.3(c), Lessee shall obtain public liability insurance as set forth in Section 12.1(b) from such carriers, in such amounts and with coverage limits and deductibles as may be reasonable in its judgment under the circumstances, but in any event (i) no less than prudent industry standards and (ii) in an amount that may be purchased for a premium equal to 200% of Lessee's cost (on a fleet-wide basis) of public liability insurance premiums for the coverage on a fleet-wide basis required by Section 12.1(b) for the final year immediately preceding the fiscal year in which such waiver first was granted.
