1  CONSEQUENCES OF TERMINATION FOR FORCE MAJEURE

1.1  If Project Co or the Authority terminates this Agreement pursuant to Clause 31.1 (Force Majeure) or Clause 53.14.2 the Authority shall pay to Project Co the "Force Majeure Termination Sum" as set out in paragraph 1.2.

1.2  Subject to paragraphs 1.4 to 1.6 below the Force Majeure Termination Sum shall be an amount equal to the aggregate of:

1.2.1  the Base Senior Debt Termination Amount

1.2.2  Redundancy Payments and Sub-Contractor Losses (but excluding therefrom any claims for loss of profit); 

1.2.3  an amount equal to the Subordinated Debt less an amount equal to the aggregate of payments of interest paid on the Subordinated Debt provided that where such figure is a negative number it shall be instead fixed at zero; and

LESS, to the extent it is a positive amount, the aggregate of (without double counting) in relation to the calculation of the Base Senior Debt Termination Amount or the amounts below:

1.2.4  the value of any right of Project Co to receive insurance proceeds (save where such insurance proceeds are held in the Insurance Proceeds Account and are to be applied in accordance with Clause 53.19 of this Agreement in reinstatement, restoration or replacement, or in the case of third party legal liability or employer's liability, in satisfaction of the claim, demand, proceeding or liability) or sums due and payable from third parties (but only when received from third parties) but excluding any claims under any Sub-Contracts or claims against other third parties which have not been determined or have been determined but not yet paid provided that in such case Project Co shall assign any such rights and claims under the Sub-Contracts or claims against other third parties to the Authority and give the Authority reasonable assistance in prosecuting such claims; 

1.2.5  to the extent realised before the Invoice Date, the market value of any other assets and rights of Project Co (other than those transferred to the Authority pursuant to this Agreement) less liabilities of Project Co properly incurred in carrying out its obligations under this Agreement as at the Termination Date provided that no account should be taken of any liabilities and obligations of Project Co arising out of:

(a)  agreements or arrangements entered into by Project Co to the extent that such agreements or arrangements were not entered into in connection with Project Co's obligations in relation to the Project; and 

(b)  agreements or arrangements entered into by Project Co to the extent that such agreements or arrangements were not entered into in the ordinary course of business and on commercial arm's length terms; and

1.2.6  amounts which the Authority is entitled to set off pursuant to Clause 46.12 of this Agreement.  

1.3  To the extent that such assets and rights referred to in paragraph 1.2.4 above are not realised and applied pursuant to that paragraph Project Co shall on payment of the Force Majeure Termination Sum assign such assets and rights to the Authority.

1.4  If the aggregate of the amounts referred to in paragraphs 1.2.1 and 1.2.3 is less than the Revised Senior Debt Termination Amount, then the Force Majeure Termination Sum shall be increased so that it is equal to the aggregate of the Revised Senior Debt Termination Amount and the amount referred to in paragraph 1.2.2 LESS the amounts referred to at paragraphs 1.2.4 to 1.2.6 above; provided always that (a) the amount referred to in paragraph 1.2.2 LESS the amounts referred to at paragraphs 1.2.4 to 1.2.6 above shall only be paid to the extent that Project Co has demonstrated to the reasonable satisfaction of the Authority that the amount will not be paid (in whole or in part) in payment of any Distribution and (b) if, at the time of termination, there are any Additional Permitted Borrowings outstanding, no Sub-Contractor Losses shall be paid in respect of any Sub Contract in circumstances where there is an event of default under such Sub-Contract which would entitle Project Co to terminate such Sub-Contract.

1.5  If a Distribution is made whilst any Additional Permitted Borrowing is outstanding and Project Co has wilfully, or through gross negligence failed to comply with its obligations under clause 9.4.4(a) of the Funders' Direct Agreement then in addition to the deduction of the Distribution made pursuant to paragraph (v) of the definition of Revised Senior Debt Termination Amount, the Authority shall be entitled to set off the value of that Distribution a second time against the Force Majeure Termination Sum, provided that the amount of the Force Majeure Termination Sum shall never be less than the Revised Senior Debt Termination Amount.

1.6  If Project Co has wilfully or through gross negligence failed to comply with its obligations under clause 9.4.4(b) of the Funders' Direct Agreement and there has been an overstatement of the cash balances by Project Co as at that date which has caused the Authority to reasonably believe that it would be required to pay a lesser sum at the Termination Date than it actually is required to pay under the terms of this Section 3 (Compensation on Termination for Force Majeure), then the Force Majeure Termination Sum shall be reduced by the amount of such overstatement (to the extent such overstatement is still applicable at the Termination Date), provided that the amount of the Force Majeure Termination Sum will never be less than the Revised Senior Debt Termination Amount.

1.7  The Force Majeure Termination Sum shall be paid in accordance with Section 5 (General) of this Schedule Part 17 (Compensation on Termination).
