1.3 Conditions to Section 1

1.3.1 Basis of Indemnity


In the event of insured Loss, the basis of indemnity shall be as follows:

a) in respect of Loss which can be repaired, the cost of repairs necessary to


restore the Insured Property to its condition immediately before the occurrence
of the Loss, less the value of any salvage;

b) in respect of total loss or destruction, the cost of reconstruction or replacement


of the Insured Property by property substantially the same as, but not better or
more extensive than that which was lost or destroyed, less the value of any
salvage.

If the anticipated cost of repairs equals or exceeds the cost of reconstruction or


replacement, the indemnity shall be as described in (b) above. The cost of any
temporary repairs will be borne by Insurers, provided such repairs do not increase the
total repair costs which would otherwise have been incurred.

Subject to General Condition 6.6, all repairs, reconstruction or replacement shall take
place with reasonable dispatch, and the costs recoverable shall be those actually
incurred, which shall be confirmed by the production of settled invoices, accounts or
other documents as may be required by the Insurers, together with justifiable
contributions towards overheads and net profit, both of which must be directly
relevant in the circumstances and agreed by the Insurers.

The cost of any alterations, additions or improvements shall not be recoverable under
this Policy.

1.3.2 Maintenance Period

a
1.3.7 50/50 Sharing
In the event of loss or damage being discovered after the cover provided for any item
of Insured Property under any marine or transit policy of insurance has terminated
and if after proper investigation it is not possible to ascertain whether such loss or
damage happened prior to termination of such policy, Insurers shall indemnify the
Insured in respect of insured Loss, provided that:

(a) immediately upon delivery to the Project Site Insured Property shall be

the increase not exceeding in any case the automatic escalation percentage indicated
in the Schedule. Where it is apparent, or should be reasonably apparent, to the
Insured that the automatic escalation percentage will be exceeded, the Insured must
advise Insurers immediately so that Insurers can concur with such revisions at terms
and conditions to be agreed, subject to General Condition 6.3.

1.3.10 72 Hours Clause


Any Loss arising during any one period of 72 hours caused by storm, tempest, flood,

(a) the amount obtained by multiplying the percentage by which the actual turnover
during the Period of Indemnity falls short of the turnover which would have
been achieved had the Delay in Start-up not occurred, by the amount of the
Debt Servicing Costs and/or the Fixed Costs that would have been payable
and/or the Net Profit that would have been earned out of the revenue had the
Delay in Start-up not occurred; and/or

(b) the Increased Cost of Working being defined as any additional expenditures
necessarily and reasonably incurred with the prior consent of Insurers, by the
Insured or any other party on his behalf, for the sole purpose of avoiding or
diminishing the amount which Insurers would have been liable to pay under (a)

reduced;

(c) less any amount contractually or legally recoverable by the Insured under the
form of liquidated damages or penalties or any other sum saved during the
Period of Indemnity in consequence of the Delay in Start-up.

exceed the Annual Sum Insured specified in the Schedule calculated pro rata
temporis for the Period of Indemnity.

Engineering Project Insurance Policy 2007 page 25 of 36


a
3.3.2 Period of Indemnity
The Period of Indemnity begins with the date upon which, had the Delay in
Start-up not occurred, the Business of the Principal would have commenced,
but not prior to the Anticipated Commencement Date of the Business, and
ends with the actual date the Business commences.

The Period of Indemnity shall not exceed the length of time it takes with the
exercise of due diligence and dispatch to repair, reconstruct or replace such
part of the Insured Property which has been lost or damaged or the
Maximum Period of Indemnity stated in the Schedule, whichever shall be
shorter.

The Business of the Principal shall be deemed to have commenced on the


date of the Certificate of Practical Completion, or upon handover to the
Principal, or the taking over by the Principal of the Project or of any part
thereof which shall be capable (at that date) of earning revenues, whichever
shall occur first.

3.3.3 Time Deductible


The monetary amount corresponding to the Time Deductible shall be
calculated by multiplying the average daily value of loss sustained during the
Period of Indemnity by the number of days agreed upon as the Time
Deductible and shall be deducted from the amount payable.

3.3.4 Progress Reports


The Insured shall submit Progress Reports to the Insurers at the intervals
stated in the Schedule. Each such report shall be submitted within 14 days of

5 Special Conditions

5.1 Full Insurance


If it is found, in the event of Loss or Delay in Start-up, that any actual Sum Insured is
less than the Sum Insured which would correspond to the definition provided in the
Schedule, in any Condition and/or Endorsement, then the amount recoverable by the
Insured shall be reduced in such proportion as the actual Sum Insured bears to the
respective Sum Insured which would correspond to the definition. Each item specified
in the Schedule or any Endorsement is separately subject to this condition.

5.2 Suspension or Cessation of Work


In the event of any partial or total unscheduled suspension or cessation of work, the
Insured shall give immediate notice in writing to Insurers if such a suspension or
cessation is anticipated to exceed 30 calendar days. Any such suspension or
cessation shall be considered as a Material Change as per General Condition

5.3 Premium Adjustment


The Premium charged for Section 1, Material Damage and Section 2, Third Party
Liability is the Premium based upon the Total Sum Insured at Inception Date as
stated in the Schedule under Insured Property.

If at any time during the Construction Period, the value of Insured Property, which
would correspond to the definition provided in the Schedule, is higher than the Total
Sum Insured stated in the Schedule, increased by the provisions of Condition 1.3.9,
the Insured shall declare the amount of such value to Insurers and shall supply any
other information that Insurers may reasonably require so that, subject to Condition
6.3, the Premium hereon shall be appropriately adjusted.

At the termination of the Construction Period, the Insured shall declare the amount of
the final Total Contract Value to Insurers, plus (if applicable) the final value of the
materials, services and labour supplied by the Principal, such value being the Final
Total Value of Insured Property, and shall supply any other information that Insurers
may reasonably require. Should the Final Total Value be higher than the Total Sum
Insured at Inception Date, the Premium due for Sections 1 and 2 shall be increased
proportionally and the Insured shall pay the difference between such Premium and
the Premium already paid.

6 General Conditions

6.1 Unity of Policy


The Schedule, Sections, Special Conditions, General Exclusions, General Conditions,
Endorsements and any other terms herein are deemed to be integral parts of this
Policy, and any word or expression to which a specific meaning has been attached in
any part shall bear such meaning wherever it may appear.

6.2 Due Observance of Policy Terms


The due observance and fulfilment of the terms of this Policy insofar as they relate to
anything to be done or complied with by the Insured shall be a condition precedent to
any liability of Insurers.

6.3 Material Change


If at any time any change shall occur materially varying any of the facts relating to the
Project, the Contract, this Policy or the degree of risk assumed hereunder, the Insured
shall immediately give notice in writing of such Material Change in risk to the
Insurers, supplying, as soon as possible thereafter, any further particulars as the
Insurers may reasonably require.

In the event of a Material Change in risk, the continuance of this insurance shall be at
terms and conditions to be agreed, in writing, between the Insured and the Insurers,
but should the parties be unable to agree to the new terms and conditions within 30
days of the Insurers initially advising the Insured of their requirements, any
indemnifiable Loss, Liability or Delay in Start-up shall be covered only to the extent it
would have been covered had the Material Change not occurred.

Engineering Project Insurance Policy 2007 page 30 of 36


a
6.4 Reasonable Precautions
The Insured shall take and cause to be taken at his own expense for the full Period of
Insurance all reasonable precautions for the safety of persons and property and the
prevention of loss or damage, delay, bodily injury, illness and death, which might give
rise to a claim under this Policy. The Insured shall, in particular, take care in the
selection of labour, comply with best industry practice, statutory requirements and
manufacturers’ recommendations and take action to maintain all plant and equipment
in good working condition.

6.5 Access and Inspection


Representatives of Insurers shall, at any reasonable time, have the right to inspect
and examine all or any part of the Insured Property on the Project Site or in any off-
site storage insured hereunder. In addition, the representatives shall be provided by
the Insured with any other information or document pertaining to the Project,
including independent engineering reports, as may be reasonably requested by
Insurers.

6.6 Claims
In the event of any loss or damage, delay, or third party claim, which might give rise to
a claim under this Policy, the Insured shall:

(a) immediately notify Insurers by telephone or email via the address specified in
the Schedule, giving an indication as to the nature and extent of the loss or
damage, delay or third party claim and confirm such advice in writing as soon as
possible;

Engineering Project Insurance Policy 2007 page 31 of 36


a
(e) inform the police authorities promptly in the event of loss or damage by theft,
burglary or any malicious person;

(f) take at his own expense such immediate action, do and concur in doing
and permit to be done all things which may be reasonably practicable
to minimise or to avoid or diminish any claim, and to prevent any
repetition in that or any other part of the Insured Property;

(g) give to Insurers every assistance to enable the Insurers to adjust, settle or resist
any claim against the Insured, or institute any proceedings;

(h) advise Insurers of any other insurance which may cover any loss or damage,
delay or third party claim, or any part thereof, which has been notified under
this Policy;

In the event of any delay giving rise or likely to give rise to a claim under Section 3,
Delay in Start-up, the Insured shall:
(i) comply with condition (c) above as far as may be reasonably practicable
without causing any increase in the period of interruption or interference;
(ii) allow Insurers and every person authorised by Insurers to contact directly any
Insured under Section 1, Material Damage in order to establish the cause and
probable extent of the interruption or interference and its effect and, if
necessary, to make any reasonable recommendations for the avoidance or
minimisation of the Delay in Start-up.

The Insured shall not be entitled to abandon any property to the Insurers.

In respect of claims under Sections 1, Material Damage and Section 3, Delay in Start-
up, Insurers shall not be liable for any loss or damage for which no notice has been
received by Insurers within 14 days of the occurrence of Loss.

Engineering Project Insurance Policy 2007 page 32 of 36


a
In respect of claims under Section 2, Third Party Liability, Insurers will not indemnify
the Insured for liability for which no notice has been received by Insurers within 6
months of the expiry of the Insurance Period.

If a claim is made and rejected, which means that the liability under this Policy is
declined in writing by the Insurers, and no reference to mediation is commenced by
the Insured within three months after such rejection, then, for all purposes, the claim
shall be regarded as having been abandoned and shall not be recoverable under this
Policy.

6.7 Subrogation
The Insured shall, at the expense of Insurers, do and concur in doing and permit to be
done, all such acts and things as may be necessary or reasonably required by the
Insurers for the purpose of enforcing any rights and remedies or of obtaining relief or
indemnity from other parties to which Insurers shall be or would become entitled or
subrogated, upon their paying for or making good any Loss, Delay in Start-up or
Liability, whether such acts and things shall be or become necessary or required
before or after the Insured's indemnification by Insurers.

6.8 Mediation
If any dispute or difference of whatsoever nature arises out of or in connection with
this Policy, including any question regarding its existence, validity or termination,
hereafter termed as Dispute, the parties undertake that, prior to a reference to
arbitration in accordance with Condition 6.9, they will seek to have the Dispute
resolved amicably by mediation.

All rights of the parties in respect of the Dispute are and shall remain fully reserved
and the entire mediation including all documents produced or to which reference is
made, discussions and oral presentations shall be strictly confidential to the parties
and shall be conducted on the same basis as without prejudice negotiations,
privileged, inadmissible, not subject to disclosure in any other proceedings
whatsoever and shall not constitute any waiver of privilege whether between the
parties or between either of them and a third party.

Engineering Project Insurance Policy 2007 page 33 of 36


a
The mediation may be terminated should any party so wish by written notice to the
appointed mediator and to the other party to that effect. Notice to terminate may be
served at any time after the first meeting or discussion has taken place in the
mediation.

If the Dispute has not been resolved to the satisfaction of either party within 90 days
of service of the notice initiating mediation, or if either party fails or refuses to
participate in the mediation, or if either party serves written notice terminating the
mediation under this clause, then either party may refer the Dispute to arbitration in
accordance with Condition 6.9.

Unless the parties otherwise agree, the fees and expenses of the mediator and all
other costs of the mediation shall be borne equally by the parties and each party shall
bear their own respective costs incurred in the mediation regardless of the outcome
of the mediation.

6.9 Arbitration
Subject to Condition 6.8, any Dispute shall be referred to an arbitrator appointed by
the parties.

In the absence of any such statutory provisions, and unless the parties agree upon a
single arbitrator within thirty days of one receiving a written request from the other
for arbitration, the claimant shall appoint his arbitrator and give written notice thereof
to the respondent. Within thirty days of receiving such notice, the respondent shall
appoint his arbitrator and give written notice thereof to the claimant, failing which,
the claimant may apply to the appointer, hereinafter named, to nominate an arbitrator
on behalf of the respondent.

Before entering upon the reference, the two arbitrators shall appoint a third
arbitrator, but should they fail to do so within thirty days of the appointment of the
respondent's arbitrator, then either of them, or either of the parties, may apply to the
appointer for the appointment of the third arbitrator. The appointer shall be the
Chairman, for the time being, of AIDA Reinsurance and Insurance Arbitration Society
of the UK (ARIAS), c/o The International Underwriting Association, 3 Minster Court,
London EC3R 7DD. The three arbitrators shall decide by a majority, but if no majority
can be reached, the verdict of the third arbitrator shall prevail. The third arbitrator
shall also act as the chairman.

Engineering Project Insurance Policy 2007 page 34 of 36


a
Unless the parties agree otherwise, the arbitration tribunal shall consist of persons
with no less than ten years experience in international insurance business, having
been engaged in such business or in advising on such business in a professional
capacity.

The arbitrator(s) shall have power to set all procedural rules for the holding of the
arbitration, and all costs of the arbitration shall be paid by the parties and in the
manner as directed by the arbitrator(s). The award of the arbitrator(s) shall be given in
writing, with reasons, and both parties hereby agree to be bound by the award given
in accordance with the above provisions.

The seat of the arbitration shall be in the capital city of the country or state of the Law
specified in the Schedule.

This condition remains valid, should the Policy become void.

6.10 Contribution
This Policy is not to be called upon in contribution and is only to pay any Loss, Delay
in Start-up or Liability if and so far as not recoverable under any other insurance
policy.

6.11 Applicable Law


The construction validity and performance of this Policy shall be in all respects
governed exclusively by and interpreted in accordance with the Law specified in the
Schedule.

6.12 Multiple Insured Cover


(a) It is noticed and agreed that if the Insured described in the Schedule comprises
more than one insured party each operating as a separate and distinct entity,
then (save as provided in this Multiple Insured Clause) cover hereunder shall
apply in the same manner and to the same extent as if individual policies had
been issued to each such insured party provided that the total liability of the
Insurers to all of the insured parties collectively shall not exceed the Sums
Insured and Limits of Indemnity including any inner limits set by Condition or

Engineering Project Insurance Policy 2007 page 35 of 36


a
Endorsement stated in the Policy.

(b) It is understood and agreed that any payment or payments by Insurers to any
one or more such insured parties shall reduce, to the extent of that payment,
Insurers’ liability to all such parties arising from any one event, giving rise to a
claim under this Policy and (if applicable) in the aggregate.

(c) It is further understood that the insured parties will at all times preserve the
various contractual rights and agreements entered into by the insured parties
and the contractual remedies of such parties in the event of Loss, Liability or
Delay in Start-up.

(d) It is further understood and agreed that Insurers shall be entitled to avoid
liability to or (as may be appropriate) claim damages from any of the insured
parties in circumstances of fraud, material misrepresentation, material non-
disclosure or breach of any warranty or condition of this Policy by such insured
party each referred to in this clause as a Vitiating Act. In circumstances of fraud,
material mis-representation, material non-disclosure or breach of any warranty
of this Policy, it shall be void ab initio but only for the insured party who has
committed the aforementioned act.

(e) It is however agreed that (save as provided in this Multiple Insured clause), a
Vitiating Act committed by one insured party shall not prejudice the right to
indemnity of any other insured party who has an insurable interest and who has
not committed a Vitiating Act.

(f) Insurers hereby agree to waive all rights of subrogation, which they may have or
acquire, against any insured party, except where such rights are either expressly
provided for in this Policy or by Endorsement or are acquired in consequence of
or otherwise following a Vitiating Act, in which circumstances Insurers may
enforce such rights notwithstanding the continuing or former status of the
vitiating party as an Insured.

(g) In the event that the Lenders to the Project are included in the Schedule, they
shall not be entitled to any indemnity under this Policy for or arising from Loss,
Liability or Delay in Start-up in respect of which Insurers are, by reason of a
Vitiating Act, no longer liable to indemnify any one or more other insured party.
