Input: 1992 to reserve its rights, Liberty waived its notice provision defense to liability under the policy. Liberty knew of the Johnson Lawsuit by April, 1987 and the DEQ order by May, 1987. There is undisputed evidence that soon thereafter, a Liberty representative contacted Joslyn's attorney, William J. Rotenberry, to request information about the Site. In a letter, dated February 2, 1988, Mr. Rotenberry enclosed a copy of the Environmental Investigation performed at the Site "as well as other documents which indicate activity through the current date." Liberty's communication with Joslyn's attorney after it had notice of both the occurrence and suit gave rise to an obligation to issue a reservation of rights letter within a reasonable amount of time. See Peavey, 971 F.2d at 1175 (<HOLDING>); V/O Exportkhleb v. M/V ANPA 773 F.Supp. 832,
