42.4.  Step-In without Service Provider Breach

If the Service Provider (or any of its Sub-Contractors) are not in breach of their obligations under this Agreement, then for so long as and to the extent that the Required Action is taken and this prevents the Service Provider from providing any part of the Services:-

42.4.1.  the Service Provider shall be relieved from its obligations to provide such part of the Services; and

42.4.2.  in respect of the period in which the Authority is taking the Required Action and provided the Service Provider provides the Authority with reasonable assistance (such assistance to be at the expense of the Authority to the extent additional costs are incurred) the Payment due from the Authority to the Service Provider shall equal the amount the Service Provider would receive if it were satisfying all its obligations and providing the Services affected by the Required Action in full over that period.
