Common use of Amendment of Requirements Clause in Contracts

Amendment of Requirements. (a) If any insurance required to be maintained by the Facility Lessee pursuant to this Section 11 (including the limits or deductibles or any other terms under policies for such insurance) ceases to be available on a commercially reasonable basis, the Facility Lessee shall provide written notice to the Owner Lessor and, so long as the Lien of the Lease Indenture shall not have been terminated or discharged, the Lease Indenture Trustee accompanied by a letter from the Facility Lessee's insurance broker stating that such insurance is unavailable on a commercially reasonable basis. Such notice shall be given not less than thirty (30) days prior to the scheduled date for renewal of any such policy. Upon receipt of such notice by the Owner Lessor, the Owner Lessor and the Facility Lessee shall immediately enter into good faith negotiations in order to obtain an alternative to such insurance. (b) In the event that the Owner Lessor and the Facility Lessee cannot reach a resolution acceptable to both parties within ten (10) days, the Owner Lessor and the Facility Lessee shall make arrangements for the formation of an insurance panel consisting of the Facility Lessee's insurance advisor (or broker), the Owner Lessor's insurance advisor (or broker) and an independent insurance expert from a nationally recognized insurance brokerage firm, chosen by the Facility Lessee and reasonably acceptable to the Owner Lessor. Such independent expert shall conduct a separate review of the relevant insurance requirements of this Section 11 and the market for such insurance at the time, giving due consideration to the representations of both insurance advisors, and upon conclusion of such review shall issue a written report stating whether such insurance is available or unavailable on a commercially reasonable basis. (c) If the insurance expert concludes that such insurance is not available on a commercially reasonable basis, the insurance expert shall provide a written recommendation (which shall include the amount and type of insurance which is available upon a commercially reasonable basis) not less than fifteen (15) days before the date for renewal of such insurance. The Facility Lessee shall, prior to the expiration of the insurance then in effect, obtain the insurance required by this Section 11 that is available on a commercially reasonable basis. If the credit rating of the Lessee Guarantor (or, if there is no Lessee Guarantor, of the Facility Lessee) is at least BBB- and Baa3 by S&P and Xxxxx'x, respectively, at the time of renewal, the recommendation of the insurance expert shall be conclusive and binding upon the Facility Lessee and the Facility Lessee shall, for the immediately succeeding one (1) year policy period, only be required to carry the insurance required by this Section 11 that the expert has certified is available on a commercially reasonable basis. (d) If the credit rating of the Lessee Guarantor (or, if there is no Lessee Guarantor, of the Facility Lessee) is below the rating specified in clause (c) at such time of renewal and in the Owner Participant's reasonable judgment, keeping the insurance coverage at the level that is available on a commercially reasonable basis is reasonably likely to result in a Material Adverse Effect, then the Facility Lessee shall (i) obtain the insurance required by Section 11 whether or not available on a commercially reasonable basis or (ii) obtain the insurance that is available on a commercially reasonable basis and provide collateral or credit support for the difference of a type and in an amount satisfactory to the Owner Participant. For the purposes of this Section 11.6, insurance will be considered "not available on a commercially reasonable basis" if it is not obtainable or obtainable only at excessive costs which are not justified in terms of the risk to be insured and is generally not being carried by or applicable to projects or operations similar to the Facility because of such excessive costs. (e) All fees, costs and expenses associated with the insurance panel (including the review by the insurance expert) shall be for the sole account of the Facility Lessee.
