Neither failure to comply comply, nor full compliance compliance, with the insurance provisions of this Agreement shall relieve the LEP Project Co of its liabilities and obligations under this Agreement. The LEP If a risk usually covered by [contractors’ ‘all risks’ insurance, property damage insurance, third party liability insurance, delay in start up and business interruption insurance (but not loss of profits) or statutory insurances] in each case required under this Agreement becomes Uninsurable then: Project Co shall take all reasonable steps to mitigate notify the effects Authority of any risks risk becoming Uninsurable within five (5) Business Days of becoming aware of the same and in any event at least five (5) Business Days before expiry or claims covered cancellation of any existing insurance in respect of that risk; and if both parties agree, or it is determined in accordance with the Dispute Resolution Procedure that the risk is Uninsurable and that: the risk being Uninsurable is not caused by the actions of Project Co or any sub-contractor of Project Co (of any tier); and Project Co has demonstrated to the Authority that Project Co and a prudent board of directors of a company operating the same or substantially similar businesses in the United Kingdom to that operated by Project Co would in similar circumstances (in the absence of the type of relief envisaged by this clause Clause) be acting reasonably and in the best interests of the company if they resolved to cease to operate such businesses as a result of that risk becoming Uninsurable, taking into account inter alia (and without limitation) the likelihood of the Uninsurable risk occurring (if it has not already occurred), the financial consequences for such company if such Uninsurable risk did occur (or has occurred) and other mitigants against such consequences which may be available to such company the parties shall meet to discuss the means by which the risk should be managed or shared (including without limitation minimising considering the issue of self–insurance by either party).

The LEP Where the risk is Uninsurable for part of a year only the reduction in the Annual Service Payment shall give be pro rated to the Local number of months for which the risk is Uninsurable; where pursuant to Clauses 53.14.2.1(a) and/or 53.14.2.1(b) this Agreement continues Project Co shall approach the insurance market at least every four months to establish whether the risk remains Uninsurable. As soon as Project Co is aware (and, in relation to a risk that has become Uninsurable during the Operational Term, the Authority twenty agrees) that the risk is no longer Uninsurable, Project Co shall take out and maintain or procure the taking out and maintenance of insurance (to be incepted as soon as is reasonably practicable) for such risk in accordance with this Agreement; in respect of any period between the Authority receiving notification in accordance with Clause 53.14.1.1(a) that a TPL Risk has become Uninsurable and the Authority’s notification to the Project Co in accordance with Clause 53.14.2.1(a) in respect of such risk then, provided it is ultimately agreed or determined that the requirements of Clause 53.14.1.1(b) are satisfied in respect of the Uninsurable TPL Risk and subject to Clause 53.14.2.1(f) below, Clause 53.14.2.1(b) shall apply in respect of occurrences of the Uninsurable TPL Risk during such period unless the parties otherwise agree how to manage the risk during this period; and Clause 53.14.2.1(e) shall only apply provided the Project Co does not unreasonably materially delay (a) agreement and/or determination in accordance with the Dispute Resolution Procedure as to whether the requirements of Clause 53.14.1.1(b) are satisfied in respect of the Uninsurable TPL Risk and/or (b) meeting with the Authority to discuss the means by which the risk should be managed.

During the Operational Term, the Authority shall be entitled to notify Project Co that a risk has become Uninsurable under paragraph (b) of the definition of "Uninsurable".
