Paragraph 70 Facilities and rights for alternative apparatus

Where, in accordance with the provisions of this Part of this Schedule, the undertaker affords to Exolum facilities and rights for the construction of alternative apparatus and the grant of alternative rights, in substitution for Apparatus to be removed, those facilities and rights must be granted upon such terms and conditions as may be agreed between the undertaker and Exolum acting reasonably in accordance with this Part of this Schedule or in default of agreement settled in accordance with article 38 (arbitration).

Alternative rights must be granted before any alternative apparatus is brought into use.

The Parties agree that the alternative rights shall be granted by way of a 999-year subsoil lease, substantially in the form of Exolum’s precedent from time to time as amended by written agreement between the parties acting reasonably, or such other form of agreement as the parties otherwise agree acting reasonably.

Nothing in this Part of this Part of this Schedule or contained in the alternative rights shall require Exolum to divert or remove any alternative apparatus.

If the facilities and rights to be afforded by the undertaker in respect of any alternative apparatus, and the terms and conditions subject to which those facilities and rights are to be granted, are in the opinion of Exolum acting reasonably less favourable on the whole to Exolum than the facilities and rights enjoyed by it in respect of the apparatus to be removed and the terms and conditions to which those facilities and rights are subject, Exolum may refer the matter to arbitration in accordance with article 38 (arbitration).
