The Insurances

3.1 Subject to clauses 3.3 and 3.6 and clauses 7.13 and 7.14 and unless the parties to this Agreement agree to put in place alternative insurance arrangements or the following insurances are no longer available at commercially acceptable terms or are no longer available in the insurance market, LUL shall take out and maintain throughout the duration of this Agreement the following insurances:
3.1(a) asset damage insurance covering "all risks" of physical loss, destruction or damage to the Insured Assets on the basis of not less than standard market terms, conditions and exclusions as are detailed in Part A of the Schedule to this Agreement ( the Asset Damage Insurance ); and
3.1(b) third party liability insurance covering liabilities to third parties including general liability for death, personal injury and loss or destruction of, or damage to, property on the basis of not less than standard market terms, conditions and exclusions as are detailed in Part B of the Schedule to this Agreement ( the Third Party Liability Insurance ).
3.2.1 In the event that any of the Insurances are (i) unavailable in the insurance market or are no longer available at commercially acceptable terms or, (ii) are available in the insurance market but are not purchased by LUL, and an Infraco and/or any of the other Insured Parties that would have been covered under the Insurances incurs any Losses that would be covered under the Insurances if such insurances (a) had been available in the insurance market or had been available at commercially acceptable terms, or (b) had been purchased by LUL, then LUL shall indemnify the relevant Infraco ( on its own behalf and/or as agent for other relevant Insured Parties ) for such Losses suffered or incurred. The amount payable by LUL under this indemnity shall not exceed the amount of the proceeds of a claim under the Insurances had they been so available or purchased. For the avoidance of doubt this clause 3.2.1 is without limitation to LUL's obligation to take out and maintain the Insurances in accordance with clause 3.1.

Application of proceeds

3.5.1 If a claim is made under the Asset Damage Insurance the proceeds of any such claim shall be paid into the Insurance Proceeds Account. LUL agrees that such proceeds shall be applied pursuant to clause 26 ( Reinstatement of Infrastructure ) of the PPP Contract to which the relevant Infraco is a party in paying for, or reimbursing Infraco for, the costs of the replacement of, or rectification of the loss, destruction or damage to, any Insured Asset. If payments on account are agreed to be made by the insurers to an Infraco ( on its own behalf and/or as agent for the other relevant Insured Parties ) in accordance with the terms of the policy then LUL shall ensure that proceeds are applied from the Insurance Proceeds Account as they are received from the insurers in reimbursing Infraco ( on its own behalf and/or as agent for the other relevant Insured Parties ) for the costs of the replacement of, or rectification of the loss, destruction or damage to, any Insured Asset.
3.5.2 The parties to this Agreement shall ensure that the escrow arrangements in respect of the Insurance Proceeds Account facilitate the application of the proceeds of any insurance claim in accordance with this clause 3.5.

PFI Contracts

3.6.1 The relevant PFI Contractor has obligations under the relevant PFI Contracts to effect certain insurances. The parties to this Agreement acknowledge that to effect the Insurances in respect of the assets and/or liabilities required to be insured under the PFI Contracts may amount to double insurance of the assets and/or liabilities insured under the insurances to be effected under the PFI Contracts. LUL shall be entitled to limit the coverage of the Insurances in respect of such assets and/or liabilities to the extent that such limitation in the coverage provided by the Insurances is otherwise provided to the Insured Parties by the insurances effected by the relevant PFI Contractors under the PFI Contracts. In the event that the insurances so effected by the PFI Contractors do not provide the coverage that would have been provided to the Insured Parties by the Insurances had the Insurances covered such PFI related assets and/or liabilities and an Infraco and/or any of the other Insured Parties incurs any Losses that would be covered by any of the Insurances, then LUL shall indemnify the relevant Infraco ( on its own behalf and/or as agent for the other relevant Insured Parties ) for such Losses suffered or incurred. The amount payable by LUL under this indemnity shall not exceed the amount of the proceeds of a claim under the Insurances had they been so effected.
3.6.2 Infraco shall ( and Infraco and LUL shall each use its reasonable endeavours to procure that each of the other Insured Parties shall ), so far as reasonably practicable, mitigate the Losses incurred by it ( or by the other Insured Parties as the case may be ) which are the subject of the indemnity in clause 3.6.1. LUL's liability to indemnify Infraco and/or the other Insured Parties as provided in clause 3.6.1 shall be reduced proportionately to the extent that the relevant Infraco or other Insured Party has failed to mitigate such Losses.
3.6.3 In the event that JNP is obliged to insure any Northern Line assets pursuant to the Northern Line Train Service Contracts then JNP shall give written notice to LUL to that effect and LUL shall take out the Insurances in respect of the Northern Line assets with effect from the date falling thirty (30) days from the date the notice given by JNP is received by LUL. Any increase in premium, insurance premium tax and insurance brokerage or fees shall be payable, by way of an Exceptional Amount in the first Payment Period after such premiums have been paid by LUL, by JNP.

Additional Insurances

4.1 Each party to this Agreement shall take out and maintain all those insurances which it is required to have by any applicable Law or by the terms of any contract to which it is a party.
4.2 Subject to clauses 3.6.3, 4.3, 4.4, 4.5, 4.6, 4.7 and Schedule 5.19 ( Insurance ) of the PPP Contracts, each party to this Agreement may take out insurance additional to the Insurances which shall be at the option and cost of the party requiring such additional insurance provided that no party may effect additional insurance in respect of the Asset Damage Mandatory Deductible and the Third Party Mandatory Deductible.

Unrelated Activities/Related Activities

4.3 Any activities ( regardless of whether or not such activities are related to the Services, the PPP Contract, the Transaction Documents or the Ancillary Agreements ) may be added to the Insurances on request by an Infraco if agreed to by LUL in its absolute discretion. Any resulting increase in the premium, insurance premium tax and insurance brokerage or fees payable by LUL in respect of the Insurances shall be payable, by way of an Exceptional Amount in the first Payment Period after such premiums have been paid by LUL, by the Infraco requesting the extension. LUL may at any subsequent date give written notice to the Infraco that it is declining to include such unrelated activities in the Insurances with effect from the date falling thirty (30) days from the date of the notice, in which event the Infraco requesting the extension must take out its own insurance in respect of such activity.

Commercial exploitation

4.4 LUL may at any time add: (a) LUL Commercial Exploitation permitted pursuant to clause 29 ( Commercial Exploitation ) of the PPP Contract; or

(b) any Major Enhancement, Major Enhancement Services or Major Enhancement Works,
to the Insurances.
4.5 Any Infraco may request that commercial exploitation activities which it is permitted to carry out in accordance with clause 29 ( Commercial Exploitation ) of the PPP Contract are added to the Insurances. LUL may add such commercial exploitation activities to the Insurances in its absolute discretion. Any increase in premium, insurance premium tax and insurance brokerage or fees due to the addition of Infraco's commercial exploitation activities shall be payable, by way of an Exceptional Amount in the first Payment Period after such premiums have been paid by LUL, by the Infraco requesting the extension. LUL may at any subsequent date give written notice to the Infraco that it is declining to include such commercial exploitation activities in the Insurances with effect from the date falling thirty (30) days from the date of the notice, in which event the Infraco requesting the extension must take out its own insurance in respect of such activity.

Employers' Liability Insurance/Contract Works Insurance/other insurances

4.6 Subject to clauses 4.3, 4.5 and 4.7, any Infraco ( in respect of that Infraco only ) or LUL in its absolute discretion may request that risks and liabilities covered by Employers' Liability Insurance and/or Contract Works Insurance required to be taken out and maintained by Infraco pursuant to clause 8 of this Agreement and Schedule 5.19 ( Insurance ) of the PPP Contracts, respectively, and/or any other insurances taken out and maintained by Infraco, are taken out and maintained by LUL. LUL may take out and maintain such employers' liability insurance or add such risks and liabilities to its Employers' Liability Insurance and/or take out and maintain such contract works insurance or add such risks and liabilities to the Insurances and/or add further risks and liabilities to the Insurances and/or take out further insurances, in each case, in its absolute discretion if requested by Infraco ( in respect of that Infraco only ) or if at LUL's request, with the consent of the relevant Infraco. If any such request is: (a) made by an Infraco, any increase in premium, insurance premium tax and insurance brokerage or fees payable by LUL in respect of its insurances in any year as a result of the addition of the relevant Infraco's risks and liabilities shall be payable to LUL, by way of an Exceptional Amount in the first Payment Period after such premiums have been paid by LUL, by the Infraco requesting the change; or

(b) made by LUL which results in LUL paying a higher premium, insurance premium tax and insurance brokerage or fees than the relevant Infraco would otherwise have had to pay for such insurances for any year, the difference between the amount that Infraco would otherwise have had to pay for such insurances and the amount LUL is required to pay in respect of any premium, insurance premium tax and insurance brokerage or fees due to the addition of the relevant Infraco's risks and liabilities, shall be payable by LUL. Infraco shall pay to LUL, by way of an Exceptional Amount in the first Payment Period before such premiums are due to be paid by LUL for such additional insurances for such risks and liabilities the amount that Infraco would otherwise have had to pay for such insurances for such risks and liabilities ( including premium, insurance premium tax and insurance brokerage or fees ) for any such year.

LUL may at any subsequent date give written notice to the Infraco that LUL is declining to take out and maintain additional insurances and/or extend LUL's Employers' Liability Insurance and/or Insurances to include risks and liabilities that would be covered by Infraco's Employers' Liability Insurance and/or Contract Works Insurance and/or any other insurances with effect from the date falling sixty (60) days from the date of the notice, in which event the relevant Infraco must take out and maintain its own Employers' Liability Insurance pursuant to clause 8 of this Agreement and/or Contract Works Insurance in accordance with Schedule 5.19 ( Insurance ) of its PPP Contract and/or such other additional insurances to the extent that it is required to take out such additional insurances or in respect of any other insurances, to the extent it wishes to take out such additional insurances.

4.7 The purpose of clause 4.6 is to facilitate the most economical and effective basis for taking out and maintaining the insurances required to be taken out and maintained by the Infracos pursuant to clause 8 of this Agreement and Schedule 5.19 ( Insurance ) of the PPP Contracts and of other insurances to be taken out and maintained by the Infracos. In the event that any Infraco ( in respect of that Infraco only ) and LUL agree that LUL shall take out and maintain Infraco's Employers' Liability Insurance and/or Contract Works Insurance and other insurances as provided in this Agreement and/or Schedule 5.19 ( Insurance ) of its PPP Contract, then Infraco shall be discharged from its obligations under this Agreement and/or Schedule 5.19 ( Insurance ) of its PPP Contract ( as the case may be ) to take out and maintain such insurances and LUL shall assume such obligations but otherwise the provisions of this Agreement and Schedule 5.19 ( Insurance ) of its PPP Contact shall continue to apply to Infraco and LUL as if such insurance had been taken out and maintained by that Infraco.

Liability for Premiums and Renewal

5.1 LUL shall pay the premiums in respect of the Insurances and any insurance premium tax payable thereon in accordance with the terms thereof together with any insurance brokerage or fees and shall upon request promptly provide the Infracos, with satisfactory evidence of such payment.
5.2 Infracos shall in no circumstances have any liability for the payment of premiums and any insurance premium tax payable thereon or any insurance brokerage or fees, save as provided in clauses 3.6.3, 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, 4.5, 4.6 and 5.3 and save in relation to its Employers' Liability Insurance and its Contract Works Insurance where Infracos shall have liability for the payment of premiums and any insurance premium tax payable thereon or any insurance brokerage or fees ( save as may be provided in Schedule 5.19 ( Insurance ) of the PPP Contracts ).
5.3 If the premium ( including insurance premium tax, insurance brokerage or fees ) payable for an Insurance has been increased due to claims caused by an Infraco Party arising from events within the control of that Infraco Party ( including claims attributable to its direct or indirect contractors or sub-contractors ), LUL shall notify Infraco of the amount by which such premium ( including insurance premium tax, insurance brokerage or fees ) has increased and request payment for such increase. On receipt of such request for payment Infraco shall promptly pay to LUL the amount of such increase. In the event that Infraco disagrees that the increase in premium ( including insurance premium tax, insurance brokerage or fees ) is due to claims caused by it then such Dispute shall be determined in accordance with the Dispute Resolution Agreement.
5.4 LUL agrees that any premium, insurance premium tax, insurance brokerage or fees ( if any ) payable in respect of any amounts of Asset Damage Insurance and/or Third Party Liability Insurance that LUL takes out and maintains with any captive insurer of Transport for London from time to time shall not exceed the amount of premium, insurance premium tax, insurance brokerage or fees that would have been payable at the relevant time had such amounts been insured with independent insurers in the insurance market.

LUL agrees that it shall only be able to increase the Asset Damage Non-Insured Amount with the consent of each Infraco, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. If the amount of the Asset Losses suffered by an Insured Party exceeds the Asset Damage Mandatory Deductible then LUL shall pay to that Insured Party any shortfall in claims proceeds between the Asset Damage Mandatory Deductible and the Asset Damage Non-Insured Amount. Upon request by Infraco ( on its own behalf and/or as agent for other relevant Insured Parties ), LUL shall make such payments to Infraco or other relevant Insured Parties on account if it is reasonable in the circumstances for such payments to be made at interim stages to reimburse Infraco or other relevant Insured Parties for the costs of replacement of, or rectification of the loss, destruction or damage to, any Insured Asset.

10.2 Subject to clause 10.1, the parties agree that any limits ( including the limits under clauses 7.13 and 7.14 ) and deductibles on the Insurances and the Employers' Liability Insurance shall be maintained throughout the duration of this Agreement unless otherwise agreed between the parties to this Agreement or unless such insurance is no longer available on commercially acceptable terms.

Indemnity

11.1 Subject to clause 11.4, each Infraco ( the Indemnifying Infraco ) shall be responsible for, and shall indemnify each other Infraco, its agents, officers and employees ( Indemnified Parties ) from and against: (a) subject to clauses 11.2 and 11.3, Losses suffered or incurred by the Indemnified Parties as a result of:
(i) claims relating to liabilities to third parties; or

(ii) damage to property owned or used by Indemnified Parties,

to the extent that such Losses are Insured Losses and agreed or determined to have been caused by the Indemnifying Infraco in accordance with clause 7 of this Agreement or, subject to paragraph (c) below and clause 11.3A, to the extent that such Losses are Insured Losses and agreed or determined to have been caused by a contractor or sub-contractor, in each case acting on behalf of the Indemnifying Infraco;

(b) Losses suffered or incurred by Indemnified Parties as a result of personal injury or death of any director, officer or employee caused or occurring in the course of their employment by the Indemnifying Infraco to the extent that such Losses are covered ( both as to the nature and amount of such Losses ) within the scope of the Employers' Liability Insurance required to be put in place by the Indemnifying Infraco pursuant to clause 8 of this Agreement. The amount payable by the Indemnifying Infraco under this indemnity shall not exceed the aggregate of the amount of the proceeds of the relevant claim under the Employers' Liability Insurance and the amount of any deductible that may apply to that insurance; and

(c) subject to clause 11.3A, Losses suffered or incurred by Indemnified Parties to the extent that such Losses are covered ( both as to the nature and amount of such Losses ) within the scope of the Indemnifying Infraco's Contract Works Insurance required to be put in place pursuant to Schedule 5.19 ( Insurance ) of the PPP Contract to the extent that such Losses are agreed or determined to have been caused by the Indemnifying Infraco or by a contractor or sub-contractor, in each case acting on behalf of the Indemnifying Infraco. Subject to paragraph 3.6 of Schedule 5.19 ( Insurance ) of the PPP Contracts in the case of BCV and SSL only, the amount payable by Infraco under this indemnity shall not exceed the amount of any deductible that may apply to the Indemnifying Infraco's Contract Works Insurance.
11.2 Subject to clause 11.3, the amount payable by the Indemnifying Infraco under the indemnity in clause 11.1(a) shall not exceed the amount of the Asset Damage Mandatory Deductible or the Third Party Mandatory Deductible ( as the case may be ).
11.3 The limitation at clause 11.2 shall not apply where an Indemnified Party suffers or incurs Losses in the circumstances described at clause 11.1(a)(i) or (ii) if, as a result of the wilful act or omission of the Indemnifying Infraco, such Losses are not Insured Losses. In circumstances where this clause 11.3 applies, the Indemnifying Infraco shall be responsible for, and shall indemnify the Indemnified Parties from and against, such Losses and the amount payable by the Indemnifying Infraco under this clause 11.3 shall not exceed the aggregate of the amount of the proceeds of the relevant claim and the amount of the relevant deductible under the Insurances required to be put in place by LUL pursuant to this Agreement which would have been valid but for the Indemnifying Infraco's wilful act or omission.
11.3A The limitation at clause 11.1(c) shall not apply where an Indemnified Party suffers or incurs Losses in the circumstances described at clause 11.1(c) if, as a result of the wilful act or omission of the Indemnifying Infraco, such Losses are not insured losses under Infraco's Contract Works Insurance. In circumstances where this clause 11.3A applies, the Indemnifying Infraco shall be responsible for, and shall indemnify the Indemnified Parties from and against, such Losses and the amount payable by the Indemnifying Infraco under this clause 11.3A shall not exceed the aggregate of the amount of the proceeds of the relevant claim and the amount of the relevant deductible under the Contract Works Insurance required to be put in place by the Indemnifying Infraco pursuant to Schedule 5.19 ( Insurance ) of the PPP Contract which would have been valid but for the Indemnifying Infraco's wilful act or omission.
11.4 Each Infraco shall, so far as reasonably practicable, mitigate the Losses incurred by it which are the subject of the indemnity at clause 11.1. The Indemnifying Infraco's liability to indemnify the Indemnified Parties as provided in clause 11.1 shall be reduced proportionately to the extent that the relevant Infraco has failed to mitigate such Losses.
11.5 Subject to the other terms of this Agreement and the terms of the Risk Management and Insurance Code, if any Infraco ( the Recipient ) becomes aware of any third party claim against the Recipient which may result in a claim against another Infraco ( the Covenantor ) under any of the indemnities contained in clause 11 of this Agreement, the Recipient shall give written notice to the Covenantor as soon as is reasonably practicable thereafter. The Covenantor shall be entitled at its discretion ( but after consultation with the Recipient ) to resist at the Covenantor's own expense such claim on behalf of the Recipient provided that: (a) the Covenantor shall not be entitled to resist any such claim before any court unless it has been advised by leading counsel, after disclosure of all relevant information and documents, that it is reasonable to resist such claim in the manner proposed by the Covenantor;

(b) the Recipient shall be kept fully informed of all matters pertaining to the claim; and

(c) the Recipient is indemnified and secured to its reasonable satisfaction by the Covenantor against all Losses which may thereby be incurred.
11.6 The Recipient shall give the Covenantor all reasonable co-operation, access and assistance, technical or otherwise, for the purpose of resisting such a claim subject as provided in sub-clause 11.5(c).
11.7 If the Covenantor does not request the Recipient to take any appropriate action or shall fail to indemnify and secure the Recipient to its reasonable satisfaction within twenty-one (21) days of the said notice to the Covenantor, the Recipient shall be free to pay or settle the claim on such terms as it may in its absolute discretion think fit. Prior to the expiry of such notice period, the Recipient shall make no admission prejudicial to the resistance of such claim.
11.8 The liability of one Infraco ( the Liable Infraco ) to another Infraco under this Agreement ( except clause 7.12 of this Agreement to which this clause 11.8 shall not apply ) in relation to: (a) loss of profits or revenue;

(b) loss of business;

(c) loss of contracts;

(d) indirect, special, incidental or consequential loss or damage; and

(e) claims of third parties for any of the matters referred to in subparagraphs (a) - (d) above,
( Consequential Losses ) shall be limited to £500,000 in each Contract Year, and this limitation shall apply even if the Liable Infraco has notice of the likelihood of such Consequential Loss, save that the limitation in this clause shall not apply so as to prevent the recovery from the Liable Infraco by another Infraco of: (i) amounts that would have been recoverable under the Employer's Liability Insurances or the Contract Works Insurances had the Liable Infraco complied with its obligations under this Agreement and Schedule 5.19 ( Insurance ) of its PPP Contract; and/or

(ii) amounts otherwise recoverable from the Liable Infraco under the provisions of clause 11 of this Agreement.

Dispute Resolution

12 Subject to clause 10.1, any Dispute shall be resolved in accordance with the Dispute Resolution Agreement.

Survival

13.1 The provisions of clause 7, 12 and 14 shall survive the expiry of this Agreement and continue in full force and effect, along with any other provisions of this Agreement ( including the schedule ) necessary to give effect to them.
13.2 In addition, any other provisions of this Agreement ( including the schedule ), which by their nature or by implication ( including so far as they relate to accrued rights and liabilities ) are required to survive expiry of this Agreement, shall survive expiry as aforesaid.

Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999

14 LUL agrees that the Insured Parties shall be entitled to enforce directly against LUL those rights expressed to be for their benefit ( including those expressed to be in Infraco's favour as their agent ) in clauses 3.2.1, 3.5.1, 3.6.1, 7.13, 7.14 and 9.2 along with any other provisions of this Agreement ( including the Schedule ) necessary to give effect to such rights, pursuant to the Contracts ( Rights of Third Parties ) Act 1999. Save as aforesaid, a person who is not a party to this Agreement shall have no right under the Contracts ( Rights of Third Parties ) Act 1999 to enforce any of its terms.

Governing Law

15 Without prejudice to clause 12, this Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with laws of England and Wales and the parties to this Agreement irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales as provided for in clauses 9.1 and 9.2 of the Dispute Resolution Agreement.

Assignment

16 No Infraco may assign, transfer, charge or otherwise deal with, in whole or in part, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement ( nor grant, declare a trust of, create or dispose of any right or interest in it ) other than in accordance with the terms of the relevant PPP Contract.
