23.1.4  Amendments

(a)  The approved insurances are not to be materially changed (including, without limitation, the scope of cover, limits/sub-limits to liability and deductible levels) without government's prior consent (which is not to be unreasonably withheld).  

(b)  In determining whether and on what basis to provide its consent, government will consider the proposed changes in the light of market conditions at the time, the impact of the changes on the project risk profile and value for money considerations generally.  

(c)  The private party must indemnify government for its reasonable legal and other costs (if any) associated with determining whether or not to consent to any requested change.
