Increased payments during a force majeure event

In most project deeds, if the private party's obligations have been suspended due to a force majeure event, and the event is not covered by insurance, the government party will service the private party's senior debt commitments while the obligations are suspended (usually only the lower of the forecast and actual commitments). Like the force majeure termination payment, the servicing of senior debt is a contingent liability of the State, and so the State should receive compensation from the private party for any increase in this liability so that it is no worse off.
