in each case in accordance with any applicable laws of the flag state and within the safe capabilities of the Vessel and crew.



 


		(c)	Owners shall at all times have responsibility for the proper stowage of the cargo and shall keep
a strict account of all cargo loaded, Boil-Off, commencement and termination of forced cargo vaporisation and cargo discharged.



 


		3.	Duty
                                         to Maintain



 


		(a)	Throughout the charter service Owners shall, whenever the passage of time, wear and tear or any
event (whether or not coming within Clause 29 hereof) requires steps to be taken to maintain or restore the conditions stipulated
in Clauses 1 and 2(a), exercise due diligence so to maintain or restore the Vessel.



 


		(b)	If at any time whilst the Vessel is on hire under this Charter the Vessel fails to comply with
the requirements of Clauses 1, 2(a) or 12 then hire shall be reduced to the extent necessary to indemnify Charterers for such failure.
If and to the extent that such failure affects the time taken by the Vessel to perform any services under this Charter, hire shall
be reduced by an amount equal to the value, calculated at the rate of hire, of the time so lost. Any reduction of hire under this
sub-Clause (b) shall be without prejudice to any other remedy available to Charterers, but where such reduction of hire is in respect
of time lost; such time shall be excluded from any calculation under Clause 26 and Appendix C.



 


		(c)	If Owners are in breach of their obligations under Clause 3(a), Charterers may so notify Owners
in writing and if, after the expiry of ***** following the receipt by Owners of





    	Page 9 of 89



    	



    
Private and Confidential


 


any such notice,
Owners have failed to demonstrate to Charterers reasonable satisfaction the exercise of due diligence as required in Clause 3(a),
the Vessel shall be off-hire, and no further hire payments shall be due, until Owners have so demonstrated that they are exercising
such due diligence.


 


		(d)	Owners shall advise Charterers immediately, in writing, should the Vessel fail an inspection by,
but not limited to, a governmental and/or port state authority, and/or terminal and/or major charterers of similar tonnage. Owners
shall simultaneously advise Charterers of their proposed course of action to remedy the defects, which have caused the failure
of such inspection.



 


		(e)	If, in Charterers reasonably held view:



 


		(i)	failure of an inspection, or,



 


		(ii)	any finding of an inspection,



 


referred to in Clause 3 (d),
prevents normal commercial operations then Charterers shall have the option to place the Vessel off-hire from the date and
time that the Vessel fails such inspection, or becomes commercially inoperable, and the Vessel shall remain off hire until
the earlier of the date and time that the Vessel passes a re-inspection by the same organisation, or until the date and time
that Owners and Charterers mutually agree that the Vessel is in a condition to pass such re-inspection or until the date and
time that the Vessel becomes commercially operable, which shall be in a position no less favourable to Charterers than at
which she went off-hire. Owners shall provide Charterers with full details of their plans to remedy the cause of the failure
or finding and the period within which this remedy will be completed.


 


		(f)	Furthermore, at any time while the Vessel is off-hire for a continued period of ***** under
                                                          this Clause 3 (with the exception of Clause 3(e)(ii)), Charterers have the option to terminate this Charter by giving notice
                                                          in writing with effect from the date on which such notice of termination is received by Owners or from any later date stated
                                                          in such notice. This sub-Clause (f) is without prejudice to any rights of Charterers or obligations of Owners under this
                                                          Charter or otherwise (including without limitation Charterers’ rights under Clause 22 and 63 hereof).



 


		(g)	In the event that during this charter the Vessel undergoes modifications related to the LSGO conversion
of the current Kawasaki main boilers, as per the agreement between GasLog and Wartsila dated 14 August 2012 as instructed by BG,
the Vessel shall remain on-hire for all such work related to this (including commissioning time), and all costs of such modifications
shall be reimbursed by Charterer.



 


		4.	Trading
                                         Limits and Safe Places



 


		(a)	The Vessel shall be used for the purpose of carrying all lawful merchandise (subject always to
Clause 30) including in particular, LNG, in any part of the world as Charterers





    	Page 10 of 89



    	



    
Private and Confidential


 


shall direct,
subject to the limits of the current British Institute Warranties and any subsequent amendments thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
but subject to Clause 36, Charterers may order the Vessel beyond such limits provided that Owners consent thereto (such consent
not to be unreasonably withheld) and that Charterers pay for any insurance premium required by the Vessel’s underwriters as a consequence
of such order.


 


		(b)	Charterers shall use due diligence to ensure that the Vessel is only employed between and at safe
places (which expression when used in this Charter shall include ports, berths, wharves, docks, anchorages, submarine lines, alongside
vessels or lighters, bunker barges and other locations including locations at sea, subject to rights and obligations under Clause
23) where she can safely lie always afloat. Notwithstanding anything contained in this or any other Clause of this Charter, Charterers
do not warrant the safety of any place to which they order the Vessel and shall be under no liability in respect thereof except
for loss or damage caused by their failure to exercise due diligence as aforesaid. Subject as above, the Vessel shall be loaded
and discharged at any places as Charterers may direct.



 


		(c)	Owners warrant that the Vessel is compatible with the LNG Terminals listed in Appendix A for berthing,
unberthing, loading and discharging LNG cargo without modification to the Vessel. In the event that such modification to the Vessel
becomes necessary as a result of changes in international regulations, national law or standards and/or are required by the Vessel’s
Classification Society or flag state, the cost of such modification shall be for Owners’ account, and the Vessel shall be
off-hire for the time required to effect such modifications unless this can be achieved without affecting the performance of the
Vessel under this Charter.



 


		(d)	If Charterers request, Owners shall agree to perform compatibility studies of terminals not listed
as Primary Terminals in Appendix A hereof. Costs of routine communications and documentation support, such as submission of Gas
Form C, Optimoor® studies and other data requests shall be for Charterers’ account. Required travel by Owners’
representative to the terminal as specifically requested and approved by Charterers shall be for Charterers’ account. If
following such compatibility studies, Owners deem a terminal compatible; such terminal shall be added to the Primary Terminals
list in Appendix A.



 


		(e)	If Charterers direct the Vessel to any LNG loading or receiving facilities other than the LNG Terminals
listed in Appendix A, Charterers shall give notice to Owners sufficiently in advance thereof so as to enable Owners to comply with
environmental, fire prevention, health, safety and other similar regulations, including but not limited to compatibility studies
of those terminals, applicable at such other place including any alteration in ship design. The reasonable cost and the necessary
time taken to comply with such regulations, necessary, solely, to allow the Vessel to load or discharge at such other place, shall
be for Charterers account. Charterers shall reimburse such costs to Owners against presentation to Charterers of appropriate invoices
and supporting vouchers, except insofar as Owners are otherwise obliged to bear such costs in accordance with this Charter. For
purposes of this sub Clause 4(d), should an alteration in ship design be required, Charterers and Owners shall discuss in good
faith the requirement and its





    	Page 11 of 89



    	



    
Private and Confidential


 



impact on the
Vessel, with the aim of ensuring that Owners are not penalized by lower performance, reduced residual value, or similar.


 


		(f)	In the event that at any time during the term of this Charter, Charterers request and Owners agree
that upgrading works shall be carried out to the Vessel which constitute an alteration on the Vessel from that prevailing at the
time of Delivery, the cost of such upgrading shall be agreed between Owners and Charterers. For the avoidance of doubt, if a “Change
of Law” requires the Vessel to be modified in order for the Vessel to continue to operate in accordance with Clause 4 and
this Charter, the cost of such modification shall be for Owners’ account. For the purpose of this sub Clause (f), “Change
of Law” shall be defined as any law, statute, act, ordinance, rule, regulation, requirement or order of any international
or national government or regulatory agency that comes into effect after the date of execution of this Charter.



 


		(g)	Notwithstanding the above, the Vessel shall not be required to force ice or to follow icebreakers.



 


		(h)	The Vessel shall not trade in breach of UN or other relevant sanctions.



 


		5.	Bunkers
                                         and LNG Heel at Delivery and Redelivery



 


		(a)	Upon delivery, Charterers shall retain ownership of all HFO, gas oil and diesel on board. Original
supplier invoices must be provided by Charterers to Owners. For the avoidance of doubt, any LNG on board the Vessel upon delivery,
was and remains the property of Charterers.



 


		(b)	The Vessel shall be redelivered to Owners with its cargo tanks under natural gas vapours
                                                            unless Owners declare the option to retain up to 3,000m3 of LNG heel at last discharge. Such option shall be declared no
                                                            later than five (5) days prior to the loading of the final cargo and will be priced at the LNG Price.



 


		(c)	Upon redelivery, Owners shall purchase all HFO, gas oil and diesel on board at the documented cost
of each. Original supplier invoices must be provided by Charterers to Owners.



 


		(d)	Throughout the Charter (and upon delivery and redelivery) the Vessel shall operate with at

may direct (subject always to Clauses 36 (a) and 41) without prejudice to this Charter. Charterers hereby indemnify Owners against
all consequences or liabilities that may arise:



 


		(i)	from signing Bills of Lading in accordance with the directions of Charterers or their agents, to
the extent that the terms of such Bills of Lading fail to conform to the requirements of this Charter, provided, however, that

of Lading and/or
at a discharge place other than that named in a Bill of Lading and/or that is different from the Bill of Lading quantity, then
Owners shall discharge such cargo in accordance with Charterers’ instructions in consideration of receiving the following
indemnity, which shall be deemed to be given by Charterers on each and every such occasion and which is limited in value to 200%
of the CIF value of the cargo carried on board:


 


		(i)	Charterers shall indemnify Owners and Owners’ servants and agents in respect of any liability
loss or damage of whatsoever nature (including legal costs as between attorney or solicitor and client and associated expenses)
which Owners may sustain by reason of delivering such cargo in accordance with Charterers’ request.



 


		(ii)	If any proceeding is commenced against Owners or any of Owners’ servants or agents in connection
with the Vessel having delivered cargo in accordance with such request, Charterers shall provide Owners or any of Owners’
servants or agents from time to time on demand with sufficient funds to defend the said proceedings.



 


		(iii)	If the Vessel or any other vessel or property belonging to Owners should be arrested or detained,
or if the arrest or detention thereof should be threatened, by reason of discharge in accordance with Charterers’ instruction
as aforesaid, Charterers shall provide on demand such bail or other security as may be required to prevent such arrest or detention
or to secure the release of such Vessel or property and Charterers shall indemnify Owners in respect of any loss, damage or expenses
caused by such arrest or detention whether or not same may be justified.



 


		(iv)	Charterers shall, if called upon to do so at any time while such cargo is in Charterers’
possession, custody or control, redeliver the same to Owners.



 


		(v)	As soon as all original Bills of Lading for the above cargo which: a) name as discharge port the
place where delivery actually occurred and, b) in the case of a negotiable bill of lading, entitle, either by consignment or endorsement,
the party to whom the cargo was released to take delivery of said cargo, arrived and/or come into Charterers’ possession,
Charterers shall produce and deliver the same to Owners whereupon Charterers liability hereunder shall cease.



 


Provided however, if Charterers
have not received all such original Bills of Lading by 24.00 hours on the day thirty-six (36) calendar months after the date
of discharge, that this indemnity shall terminate at that time unless before that time Charterers have received from
Owners’ written notice that


aaa)      Some person is making a claim, in connection with
Owners delivering cargo pursuant to Charterers’ request or,




    	Page 19 of 89



    	



    
Private and Confidential


 


bbb)      Legal proceedings have been
commenced against Owners and/or carriers and/or Charterers and/or any of their respective servants or agents and/or the Vessel
for the same reason.


 


When Charterers have received such
a notice, then this indemnity shall continue in force until such claim or legal proceedings are settled. Termination of this indemnity
shall not prejudice any legal rights a party may have outside this indemnity.


 


		(vi)	Owners shall promptly notify Charterers if any person (other than a person to whom Charterers ordered
cargo to be delivered) claims to be entitled to such cargo and/or if the Vessel or any other property belonging to Owners is arrested
by reason of any such discharge of cargo.



 


		(vii)	This indemnity shall be governed and construed in accordance with English law and each and any
dispute arising out of or in connection with this indemnity shall be subject to the jurisdiction of the High Court of Justice of
England.



 


		(c)	Owners warrant that the Master will comply with orders to carry and discharge against one or more
duly endorsed Bills of Lading from a set of original negotiable Bills of Lading should Charterers so require. Once delivery has
been completed against one bill of lading, the others are to stand void.



 


		15.	Conduct
                                         of Vessel’s Personnel



 


If Charterers complain of the conduct of the
master or any of the officers or crew, Owners shall immediately investigate the complaint. If the complaint proves to be well founded,
Owners shall, without delay, make a change in the appointments and Owners shall in any event communicate the result of their investigations
to Charterers as soon as possible.

Private and Confidential


 


		(i)	in the event that the quantity of LNG Heel retained on board pursuant to Clause 16 (a) is not sufficient

result of a direct act or omission on the part of Owners or fault of the Vessel;



 


		(ii)	when LNG is required by reason of:



 


		(aa)	strikes, quarantine restrictions, seizure under legal process, restraint of labour, none of which
arise in connection with the Vessel or crew; or

or people;



 


		(iii)	when LNG is required by reason of any Restricted Period as defined in Appendix C Article 2 (e)

		(iv)	upon return of the Vessel to the first load port after any lay-up ordered by Charterers pursuant
to Clause 32, after any underwater cleaning ordered under B Article 11 (a), or after the Vessel has been withdrawn from service

		(c)	***** shall pay for LNG required for gassing up and cooling down the Vessel’s cargo tanks
at the LNG Price:



 


		(i)	following periods of off-hire and such off-hire has solely caused the need to cool down. If the
off-hire event is partially responsible for the requirement to gas up and/or cool down, both parties shall mutually discuss the
allocation of costs;



 


		(ii)	following requisition under Clause 33;



 


		(iii)	where the LNG is required and directly caused by Owners’ breach of this Charter.

instructions (even if such pilots or tugboat personnel are in fact the servants of Charterers their agents or any affiliated company);
provided, however, that the foregoing indemnity shall not exceed the amount to which Owners would have been entitled to limit their
liability if they had themselves employed such pilots or tugboats. The Master shall have the right to reject pilots, stevedores
or similar contractors and tugs which in Master’s reasonable opinion are below industry standard.

		21.	Loss
                                         of Vessel


 


Should the Vessel be lost, this Charter shall
terminate and hire shall cease at noon on the day of her loss; should the Vessel be a constructive total loss, this Charter shall
terminate and hire shall cease at noon on the day on which the Vessel’s underwriters agree that the Vessel is a constructive total
loss; should the Vessel be missing, this Charter shall terminate and hire shall cease at noon on the day on which she was last
heard of. Any hire paid in advance and not earned shall be returned to Charterers and Owners shall reimburse Charterers for the
value of the estimated quantity of bunkers on board at the time of termination, at the price paid by Charterers at the last bunkering
port.


 


		22.	Off-hire



 


		(a)	On each and every occasion that there is loss of time or when the Vessel is unavailable to Charterers
(whether by way of interruption in the Vessel’s service or, from reduction in the Vessel’s performance, or in any other manner
whatsoever):



 


		(i)	due to deficiency of personnel or stores; repairs; gas-freeing for repairs; time in and waiting
to enter dry-dock for repairs; breakdown (whether partial or total) of machinery, boilers or other parts of the Vessel or her equipment
(including without limitation tank coatings); overhaul, maintenance or survey; collision, stranding, accident or damage to the
Vessel; or any other cause whatsoever preventing the efficient working of the Vessel; and such loss or unavailability continues
for more than six (6) consecutive hours if resulting from interruption in the Vessel’s service) or cumulates to more than six (6)
hours (if resulting from partial loss of service); or



 


		(ii)	due to industrial action, refusal to sail, breach of orders or neglect of duty on the part of the
master, officers or crew; or



 


		(iii)	for the purpose of obtaining medical advice or treatment for or landing any sick or injured person
(other than a Charterers’ representative carried under Clause 18 hereof) or for the purpose of landing the body of any person
(other than a Charterers’ representative), and such loss continues for more than six (6) consecutive hours; or



 


		(iv)	due to any delay in quarantine arising from the master, officers or crew having had communication
with the shore at any infected area without the written consent or instructions of Charterers or their agents, or to any detention
by customs or other authorities caused by smuggling or other infraction of local law on the part of the master, officers, or crew;
or



 


		(v)	due to detention of the Vessel by authorities at home or abroad attributable to legal action against
or breach of regulations by the Vessel, the Owners (unless brought about by the act or neglect of Charterers); or





    	Page 24 of 89



    	



    
Private and Confidential


 


		(vi)	due to pre-docking and repair procedure including warming, gas freeing and inerting post arrival
at the dry-dock port; or



 


		(vii)	due to scheduled dry-docking and maintenance, maintaining, overhauling, repairing or dry-docking
the Vessel and submitting her for survey; waiting for any of the aforesaid purposes; and whilst at, any port or place for any of
the aforesaid purposes; or



 


		(viii)	due to post-docking or repair procedure including inerting, if such inerting is undertaken prior
to sailing from the dry-dock port, gassing and cooling in excess of that undertaken for normal loading; or



 


		(ix)	due to any other circumstances where the Vessel is off-hire under this Charter; or



 


		(x)	due to late arrival for allocated opening for canal transit when such late arrival is due to Owners’
negligence or Vessel breakdown



 


then without prejudice to Charterers’
rights under Clause 3 or to any other rights of Charterers hereunder, or otherwise, the Vessel shall be off-hire from the commencement
of such loss of time until she is again ready and in an efficient state to resume her service from a position not less favourable
to Charterers than that at which such loss of time commenced; provided, however, that any service given or distance made good by
the Vessel whilst off-hire shall be taken into account in assessing the amount to be deducted from hire.


 


		(b)	If the Vessel fails to proceed at any Guaranteed Speed (as defined in Appendix C Article 2 (a)
(iv)) pursuant to Clause 26 and Appendix C, and such failure arises wholly or partly from any of the causes set out in Clause 22(a)
above, then the following provisions shall apply:



 


		(i)	if the Vessel is unable to maintain a speed of at least 85% of the Guaranteed Speed under Clause
26 in wind and sea state not exceeding Beaufort force 5, Charterers shall have the option to place the Vessel off-hire but any
distance made good by the Vessel whilst off-hire shall be taken into account in accordance with Clause 22(a);



 


		(ii)	except where Charterers have placed the Vessel off-hire pursuant to Clause 22(b)(i), failure of
the Vessel to proceed at any Guaranteed Speed shall be dealt with under Clause 26 and Appendix C and the Vessel will not be off-hire
under Clause 22.



 


		(c)	Further and without prejudice to the foregoing, in the event of the Vessel deviating (which expression
includes without limitation putting back, or putting into any port other than that to which she is bound under the instructions
of Charterers) for any cause or purpose mentioned in Clause 22 (a), the Vessel shall be off-hire from the commencement of such
deviation until the time when she is again ready and in an efficient state to





    	Page 25 of 89



    	



    
Private and Confidential


 


resume her service
from a position not less favourable to Charterers than that at which the deviation commenced, provided, however, that any service
given or distance made good by the Vessel whilst so off-hire shall be taken into account in assessing the amount to be deducted
from hire. If the Vessel, for any cause or purpose mentioned in Clause 22 (a), puts into any port other than the port to which
she is bound on the instructions of Charterers, the port charges, pilotage and other expenses at such port shall be borne by Owners.
Should the Vessel be driven into any port or anchorage by stress of weather hire shall continue to be due and payable during any
time lost thereby.


 


		(d)	If the Vessel’s flag state becomes engaged in hostilities, and Charterers in consequence of such
hostilities find it commercially impracticable to employ the Vessel and have given Owners’ written notice thereof then from
the date of receipt by Owners of such notice until the termination of such commercial impracticability the Vessel shall be off-hire
and Owners shall have the right to employ the Vessel on their own account.



 


		(e)	Time during which the Vessel is off-hire under this Charter shall count as part of the charter
period except where Charterers declare their option to add off-hire periods under Clause 4 (b).



 


		(f)	All references to “time” in this Charter party shall be references to local time except
where otherwise stated.



 


	(g)	(i)	If as a consequence of any cause or purpose mentioned in this Clause 22 or
in Clause 16 (c), the Vessel presents for loading with tank temperatures other than that which would otherwise allow bulk loading
to commence within 1/2 (half) an hour after cooling of the loading arms, any time lost as a consequence thereof, including without
limitation any time lost in additional cooling of tanks prior to loading shall count as off-hire and the cost of any LNG supplied
for such additional cooling shall be paid for by Owners at the LNG Price.



 


		(ii)	If any LNG is lost as Boil-Off during periods of off-hire, Owners shall reimburse Charterers for
the LNG lost at the LNG Price, less any Boil-off consumed in distance made good during the off-hire period by Owners.



 


Where accurate measurement of LNG
lost as Boil-Off during any such off-hire period is impossible for whatever reason, the LNG lost as Boil-Off shall be assumed to
have occurred at a constant rate equal to that obtained by measurement between official gaugings of the cargo in question in accordance
with Appendix C Article 8 (b). Where, due to the off-hire occurring during a ballast passage, all LNG Heel is lost as Boil-Off
prior to the Vessel next commencing to load, such Boil-Off shall be deemed to have occurred at a constant rate equal to that which
occurred during the Vessel’s last previous ballast voyage.


 


		(h)	If the cargo capacity of the Vessel is reduced for any reasons, Charterers shall have the option
of putting the Vessel off-hire or using the Vessel, in which case hire shall be reduced pro rata to the reduction in the Vessel’s
cargo capacity from the commencement





    	Page 26 of 89



    	



    
Private and Confidential


 


of loading at the
loading port until the Vessel is again ready to load at the next loading port without such reduction in capacity. Notwithstanding
the option granted to Charterers by the foregoing and subject to Charterers’ need for transportation, Charterers may agree
(such agreement not to be unreasonably withheld) to allow Owners to repair the tanks of the Vessel at the earliest opportunity.


 


		(i)	The Vessel shall additionally be off-hire as provided in this Clause 22 whenever there is loss
of time:



 


		(i)	as a result of a boycott arising in connection with the business of Owners, the terms or
                                                               conditions of employment of Owners’ servants, or employment, trades, or cargoes of the Vessel other than under this
                                                               Charter;



		(ii)	due to restraint or interference in the Vessel’s operation by any governmental
                                                                authority in connection with the ownership, registration, or obligations of Owners or the Vessel, or stowaways, or in
                                                                connection with smuggling or other prohibited activities, unless such restraint or interference involves a cargo carried
                                                                under this Charter, or Charterers themselves, or the shippers or receivers of such a cargo; or



		(iii)	due to strikes, labour boycotts or any other discrimination/difficulties against the Vessel
                                                                 because of Owners and/or their affiliates’ previous trade and/or the ownership and/or flag and/or officers and crew
                                                                 and/or officers and crews’ employment conditions;



 


and all losses, damages and expenses
directly or indirectly incurred thereby (including bunkers consumed) shall be for Owners’ account.


 


		(j)	In the event that the Vessel is off-hire for any reason other than in connection with
                                                          periodical dry-docking pursuant to Clause 24 for any period in excess of ninety (90) consecutive days or exceeding ninety
                                                          (90) days in any period of three hundred and sixty five (365) days, Charterers shall have the option to terminate this
                                                          Charter by giving notice in writing with effect from any date stated in such notice provided that the Vessel is free of cargo
                                                          (other than LNG Heel) at such date. If the Vessel is not free of cargo (other than LNG Heel) at such date then the notice
                                                          shall be deemed to be effective on the next date that the Vessel is free of cargo (other than LNG Heel). This Clause 22(j) is
                                                          without prejudice to any other rights or obligations of Owners or Charterers under this Charter. For the purposes of this
                                                          Clause 22(j), in the event of partial loss of service, the period of off-hire shall be the total period during which the
                                                          Vessel is not fully efficient rather than the resulting loss of time.



 


		(k)	Notwithstanding any other provision of this Charter, the Charterers shall not be precluded, prevented
or estopped from relying on, enforcing and enjoying the full benefit of any provision of this Charter concerning the condition
or performance of the Vessel, including but not limited to any provision resulting in the Vessel being placed off-hire, by virtue
of the fact that a breach or triggering of such provision occurred directly or indirectly as a result of the status or condition
of the Vessel prior to delivery to the Charterers.

		23.	Ship
                                         to Ship Transfers and FPSO/FSRU Cargo Operations



 


		(a)	Subject to the provisions of Clause 23 (b), Owners shall allow a transhipment of the cargo to another
ship or floating storage re-gasification unit (FSRU) or loading from an LNG floating production storage and offloading unit (LNG-FPSO)
to be carried out, provided that a suitably documented formalised risk assessment is carried out, identifying potential hazards,
probability and consequences and all risks identified can be mitigated adequately to the reasonable satisfaction of Charterers
and Owners.



 


		(b)	Subject to Clause 23(a), such cargo operation shall be carried out in accordance with the recommendations
set out in the latest version of ICS/OCIMF Ship-to-Ship Transfer Guide (Liquefied Gases), and SIGTTO’s “Considerations
for Planning a Ship-to-Ship Transfer of LNG” as amended from time to time. Owners shall permit, at Charterers’ expense,
personnel nominated by Charterers to attend any pre operation risk assessment workshops and to attend on board, subject to Clause
18, to observe in the transhipment operation although such operation shall always be the responsibility of Owners. All expenses
incurred for the Ship-to-Ship Transfer shall be for the Charterers’ account, except insofar as Owners are otherwise obliged
to bear such costs in accordance with this Charter.



 


		(c)	Any transfer operations (herein also referred to as “lighterage”) to another ship,
FSRU, or FPSO, and any extra equipment required for such, will be for Charterers’ account. All time including shifting time,
if any, from the Vessel’s arrival and tendering notice of readiness at lighterage position until disconnection of hoses upon
completion of lighterage operation or the removal /unloading of all fendering, hoses and other lighterage equipment (whichever
is the later), to count as time on hire. All and any time during which the lighterage operation is discontinued due to breakdown
of the Vessel’s equipment and/or operational inefficiency arising as a direct consequence of the additional requirements
on the Vessel by the need to conduct such lightering operation, shall not count as off hire. All time and cost used and incurred
for steaming/mooring, at Charterers request, from the Vessel’s arrival at the originally agreed lighterage location, shall
count as time on hire. All port expenses, if any, incurred as a consequence of such lighterage operation always to be for Charterers’
account. If Owners are obliged to extend their existing insurance policies to cover lighterage operations, Charterers shall reimburse
Owners for additional premium incurred, provided that Charterers are given prior notification (if possible) of the additional amount
involved. Charterers must obtain permission from proper authorities to perform lighterage operation and all expenses in this connection
shall be for Charterers’ account.



 


		(d)	The loading or discharge at FSRUs, FPSOs, and to another ship shall be subject to Clause 23 and
shall, for the avoidance of doubt, always be at the sole discretion of the Master and if at any time the loading or discharge operations
are, or become unsafe then he/she may discontinue such operations.

		(a)	Owners shall dry-dock the Vessel at least once in any five year period for the purposes of maintaining
the Vessel’s underwater area, undergo cargo tank inspection and to effect equipment overhaul, scheduled maintenance, other
necessary repairs, and re-certification, so that the Vessel is fit in every way for service under this Charter. Provided that Owners
can demonstrate to Charterers satisfaction that a performing five year coating system has been applied to the hull and that an
Impressed Current Cathodic Protection system and a Marine Growth Prevention System are installed and intermediate dockings will
be permitted to be carried out afloat. If Owners elect to apply a five (5) year dry-docking cycle, they shall provide to Charterers
a detailed master maintenance plan clearly showing how they will overhaul and maintain all critical equipment.



Owners shall give Charterers approximately
twelve (12) months’ notice of any intended non-emergency dry-docking and the proposed locations for the Dry-dock, together
with the reasons for such dry-docking.


 


		(b)	Owners and Charterers shall work together to find the most optimal economic location for the dry-docking
for both parties. The costs for different dry-dock locations shall be disclosed by Owners. If Charterers incur costs in delivering
the Vessel to a cheaper dry-dock location versus one that falls outside the Vessel’s actual trade route, Owners and Charterers
shall mutually agree an equitable economic solution. Owners and Charterers shall agree the actual date that the Vessel will be
required to enter the dry-dock port ninety (90) days prior to such date.



 


		(c)	In addition to any technical superintendent, the Owners shall supply a superintendent whose primary
function is HSSE, to attend dry-docking periods. The suitability of the HSSE superintendent shall be agreed by the Owners and Charterers.



 


		(d)	Charterers shall have the right to review the dry docking specifications and programme and, at
Charterers’ costs, shall have the right to send up to two personnel to witness the dry docking



 


		(e)	In the event of dry docking, the Vessel shall be off-hire when the Vessel arrives at the dry dock
port on the actual date. On completion of dry docking, the Vessel will be on hire again upon exit from the dry dock yard.



 


		(f)	All dry-dock expenses and expenses of preparing the Vessel for dry-dock shall be for Owners’ account.
Any natural gas vapour lost in gas freeing for the purpose of dry-docking shall be for Charterers’ account provided that during
the last discharge prior to dry-docking Owners shall use their reasonable endeavours to pump out the maximum amount of cargo.



 


		(g)	Provided that Charterers have been previously notified and agreed to the period in advance, Charterers
agree to provide the Owners with a preventative maintenance

window or windows
that shall not exceed ***** per annum following Delivery until the first anniversary thereof and thereafter for each twelve (12)
month period beginning on each anniversary of the Delivery (the “Yearly Allowance”). Owners shall be entitled to use
the Yearly Allowance to carry out, with the approval of Charterers, scheduled preventative maintenance work to the Vessel. Owners
shall provide Charterers with a completed Maintenance Request Form and subsequent maintenance reports on completion of maintenance.


 


		(h)	After the first special survey of the Vessel; this Yearly Allowance shall increase to up to *****
per annum, provided that Charterers is able to provide up to *****in underutilised time and that the maintenance has no impact
on Charterers’ commercial operations. For the avoidance of doubt, the Yearly Allowance shall never be lower than *****.

Charterers or their representatives shall have
the right at any time during the charter period to make such inspection of the Vessel or necessary operational and condition audits
of the Vessel, crew, Owners’ office or Vessel’s technical manager as they may consider necessary. This right may be
exercised as often and at such intervals as Charterers in their absolute discretion may determine and whether the Vessel is in
port or on passage.


 


Owners shall afford all necessary co-operation
and accommodation on board provided, however:


 


		(a)	that neither the exercise nor the non-exercise, nor anything done or not done in the exercise or
non-exercise, by Charterers of such right shall in any way reduce the master’s or Owners’ authority over, or responsibility
to Charterers or third parties for, the Vessel and every aspect of her operation, nor increase Charterers’ responsibilities
to Owners or third parties for the same;



 


		(b)	that Charterers shall not be liable for any act, neglect or default by themselves, their servants
or agents in the exercise or non-exercise of the aforesaid right;



 


		(c)	that any cost incurred by such inspections or audits shall be for Charterers’ account provided
such costs have been disclosed to and approved by Charterers in advance;



 


		(d)	that any inspection carried out by Charterers shall be made without interference with or hindrance
to the Vessel’s safe and efficient operation, and shall be limited to a maximum of two persons; and

                                                          master and Owners shall not, unless otherwise in this Charter expressly provided, be liable for any loss or damage or delay
                                                          or failure arising or resulting from any act, neglect or default of the master, pilots, mariners or other servants of Owners
                                                          in the navigation or management of the Vessel; fire, collision or stranding; dangers and accidents of the sea; explosion,

                                                          Clauses 1, 2, 3 and 26 hereof shall be unaffected by the foregoing. Further, neither the Vessel, her master or Owners, nor
                                                          Charterers shall, unless otherwise in this Charter expressly provided, be liable for any loss or damage or delay or failure
                                                          in performance hereunder arising or resulting from act of God, act of war, seizure under legal process,

		(b)	The Vessel shall have liberty to sail with or without pilots, to tow or go to the assistance of

		(c)	Clause 29 (a) shall not apply to, or affect any liability of Owners or the Vessel or any other
relevant person in respect of:



 


		(i)	loss or damage caused to any berth, jetty, dock, dolphin, buoy, mooring line, pipe or crane or
other works or equipment whatsoever at or near any place to which the Vessel may proceed under this Charter, whether or not such
works or equipment belong to Charterers; or



 


		(ii)	any claim (whether brought by Charterers or any other person) arising out of any loss of or damage
to or in connection with cargo. Any such claim shall be subject to the Hague-Visby Rules or the Hague Rules or the Hamburg Rules,
as the case may be, which ought pursuant to Clause 40 hereof to have been incorporated in the relevant Bill of Lading (whether
or not such Rules were so incorporated) or, if no such Bill of Lading is issued, to the Hague-Visby Rules unless the Hamburg Rules
compulsorily apply in which case to the Hamburg Rules.



 


		(d)	In particular and without limitation, the foregoing subsections (a), (b) and (c) of this Clause
shall not apply to or in any way affect any provision in this Charter relating to off-hire or to reduction of hire or Boil-Off

		30.	Injurious
                                         Cargoes



 


No acids, explosives or cargoes injurious to
the Vessel shall be shipped and without prejudice to the foregoing any damage to the Vessel caused by the shipment of any such
cargo, and the time taken to repair such damage, shall be for Charterers’ account. No voyage shall be undertaken, nor any
goods or cargoes loaded, that would expose the Vessel to capture or seizure by rulers or governments.


 


		31.	Disbursements



 


Should the master require advances for ordinary
disbursements up to a cap of United States Dollars twenty-five thousand ($25,000) at any port, Charterers or their agents shall
make such advances to him, in consideration of which Owners shall pay a commission of two and a half per cent, and all such advances
and commission shall be deducted from hire.


 


		32.	Laying-up



 


Charterers shall have the option, after consultation
with Owners, of requiting Owners to lay up the Vessel at a safe place nominated by Charterers, taking into account questions of
maintenance access and security and with Owners’ consent and always subject to Clause 4, in which case the hire provided
for under this Charter shall be adjusted to reflect any net increases in expenditure reasonably incurred or any net saving which
should reasonably be made by Owners as a result of such lay up. Charterers may exercise the said option any number of times during
the charter period.


 


		33.	Requisition



 


Should the Vessel be requisitioned by any government,
de facto or de jure, during the period of this Charter, the Vessel shall be off-hire during the period of such requisition, and
any hire paid by such governments in respect of such requisition period shall be for Owners’ account. Any such requisition
period shall count as part of the charter period.

		34.	Outbreak
                                         of War



 



If war or hostilities break out between any
two or more of the following countries: United States of America, the countries or republics having been part of the former U.S.S.R
(except that declaration of war or hostilities solely between any two or more of the countries or republics having been part of
the former USSR shall be exempted), Peoples Republic of China, United Kingdom, and the country that the Vessel is registered in,
then both Owners and Charterers shall have the right to cancel this charter provided that such war or hostilities materially and
adversely affect the trading of the Vessel for a period of at least thirty (30) days.


 


		35.	Additional
                                         War Expenses



 


If the Vessel is ordered to trade in areas
where there is war (de facto or de jure) or threat of war, Charterers shall reimburse Owners for any additional insurance premiums,
crew bonuses and other expenses which are reasonably incurred by Owners as a consequence of such orders, provided that Charterers
are given notice of such expenses as soon as practicable, and provided further that Owners obtain from their insurers a waiver
of any subrogated rights against Charterers in respect of any claims by Owners under their war risk insurance arising out of compliance
with such orders.


 


Any payments by Charterers under this Clause
will only be made against proven documentation. Any discount or rebate refunded to Owners, for whatever reason, in respect of additional
war risk premium shall be passed on to Charterers.


 


In the event that Owners are unable to secure
adequate war risk coverage, Charterers shall have the option of providing war risk coverage for the Vessel, subject to Owners’
consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld. Charterers shall always make Owners aware of the cover limits to ensure
Owners have excess War P&I cover available under their respective P&I Club entries.


 


		36.	War
                                         Risks



 


		(a)	The master shall not be required or bound to sign Bills of Lading for any place which in his or
Owners’ reasonable opinion is dangerous or impossible for the Vessel to enter or reach owing to any blockade, war, hostilities,
warlike operations, civil war, civil commotions, terrorism or piracy revolutions.



 


		(b)	If in the reasonable opinion of the master or Owners it becomes, for any of the reasons set out
in Clause 36 (a) or by the operation of international law, dangerous, impossible or prohibited for the Vessel to reach or enter,
or to load or discharge cargo at, any place to which the Vessel has been ordered pursuant to this Charter (a “place of peril”),
then Charterers or their agents shall be immediately notified in writing or by radio messages, and Charterers shall thereupon have
the right to order the cargo, or such part of it as may be affected, to be loaded or discharged, as the case may be, at any other
place within the trading limits of this Charter (provided such other place is not itself a place of peril). If





    	Page 35 of 89



    	



    
Private and Confidential


 


			any place of discharge is or becomes a place of peril, and no orders
have been received from Charterers or their agents within 48 hours after dispatch of such messages, then Owners shall be at liberty
to discharge the cargo or such part of it as may be affected at any place suitable for the discharge of LNG which they or the master
may in their or his discretion select within the trading limits of this Charter and such discharge shall be deemed to be due fulfilment
of Owners obligations under this Charter so far as cargo so discharged is concerned.



 


		(c)	The Vessel shall have liberty to comply with any directions or recommendations as to departure,
arrival, routes, ports of call, stoppages, destinations, zones, waters, delivery or in any other wise whatsoever given by the government
of the state under whose flag the Vessel sails or any other government or local authority or by any person or body acting or purporting
to act as or with the authority of any such government or local authority including any de facto government or local authority
or by any person or body acting or purporting to act as or with the authority of any such government or local authority or by any
committee or person having under the terms of the war risks insurance on the Vessel the right to give any such directions or recommendations.
If by reason of or in compliance with any such directions or recommendations anything is done or is not done, such shall not be
deemed a deviation. If by reason of or in compliance with any such direction or recommendation the Vessel does not proceed to any
place of discharge to which she has been ordered pursuant to this Charter, the Vessel may proceed to any place which the master
or Owners in his/her or their discretion select and there discharge the cargo or such part of it as may be affected. Such discharge
shall be deemed to be due fulfilment of Owners’ obligations under this Charter so far as cargo so discharged is concerned.



 


Charterers shall procure that all
Bills of Lading issued under this Charter shall contain the Chamber of Shipping War Risks Clause 1952.


 


		37.	Piracy



 


		a)	Subject to Clause 37(e) below, if the Vessel proceeds to or through an area in which there is a
current risk of piracy, verified by the International Group of P&I Clubs, Owners shall be entitled:



 


		i)	to take reasonable preventive measures to protect the Vessel, her crew and cargo by proceeding
in convoy, using escorts, avoiding day or night navigation, adjusting speed or course, or engaging security personnel or equipment
provided that such security personnel or equipment is provided by third party, private sector and non-governmental entities; on
or about the Vessel;



 


		ii)	to follow any orders given by the flag state, any governmental or supra governmental organization;
and





    	Page 36 of 89



    	



    
Private and Confidential


 


 


		iii)	where there is an actual, imminent act of piracy, and only after giving Charterers reasonable advance
notice, to take a safe and reasonable alternative route in place of the normal, direct or intended route to the next port of call,
provided that such alternative route does not, in the case of the Gulf of Aden, physically extend beyond the transit of the Gulf
of Aden in which case Owners shall give Charterers reasonable advance notice of the alternative route, an estimate of time and
bunker consumption and a revised estimated time of arrival.



 


		b)	Subject to sub Clause 37(e) below, *****.



 


		c)	Subject to Clause 37(e), the Vessel shall remain on-hire for any time lost taking the measures
referred to in sub Clause 37(a) of this Clause.



 


		d)	Where, notwithstanding the taking of any of the measures referred to in sub Clause 37(a) above,
and where not caused by a lack of due diligence on Owners’ part, and where Charterers have not purchased off-hire insurance
pursuant to sub Clause 37(e) below, the Vessel is captured by pirates, hire shall be payable at 100% of the hire rate for the duration
of any such capture. As is further set forth in sub Clause 37(e) and for the avoidance of doubt, should Charterers purchase the
off-hire insurance more fully described below, the Vessel shall be off-hire during the attack or seizure by pirates.



 


		e)	Charterers shall have the option, where the Vessel is scheduled to transit to or through an area
in which there is a current risk of piracy, verified by the International Group of P&I Clubs, to require Owners to either (a)
extend existing war risk insurance; or (b) purchase off-hire insurance, adding Charterers as co-assured, and which in either case
will cover loss of hire, the cost of which shall be reimbursed by Charterers, provided always that (i) the terms of cover and cost
have been disclosed to, and agreed by, Charterers prior to the purchase of such insurance; and (ii) that following the exercise
of such option, the Vessel shall be off-hire for any time lost as a result of an attack or capture by pirates.



 


		f)	Charterers may elect, at any time, to pay any relevant insurances as described in sub Clause 37(e)
directly.



 


		g)	Boil-off losses during piracy shall be for Charterers’ account.

Private and Confidential


 


“If the ship comes into collision with
another ship as a result of the negligence of the other ship and any act, neglect or default of the master, mariner, pilot or the
servants of the carrier in the navigation or in the management of the ship, the owners of the cargo carried hereunder will indemnify
the carrier against all loss, or liability to the other or non-carrying ship or her owners in so far as such loss or liability
represents loss of, or damage to, or any claim whatsoever of the owners of the said cargo, paid or payable by the other or non-carrying
ship or her owners to the owners of the said cargo and set off, recouped or recovered by the other or non-carrying ship or her
owners as part of their claim against the carrying ship or carrier.”


 


The foregoing provisions shall also apply where
the owners, operators or those in charge of any ship or ships or objects other than, or in addition to, the colliding ships or
objects are at fault in respect of a collision or contact.


 


Charterers shall procure that all Bills of
Lading issued under this Charter shall contain a provision in the foregoing terns to be applicable where the liability for any
collision in which the Vessel is involved falls to be determined in accordance with the laws of the United States of America.

General average contributions shall be payable
according to York/Antwerp Rules, 1994, as amended from time to time, and shall be adjusted in London in accordance with English
law and practice but should adjustment be made in accordance with the law and practice of the United States of America, the following
position shall apply:


 


“In the event of accident, danger, damage
or disaster before or after the commencement of the voyage, resulting from any cause whatsoever, whether due to negligence or not,
for which, or for the consequence of which, the carrier is not responsible by statute, contract or otherwise, the cargo, shippers,
consignees or owners of the cargo shall contribute with the carrier in general average to the payment of any sacrifices, losses
or expenses of a general average nature that may be made or incurred and shall pay salvage and special charges incurred in respect
of the cargo.”


 


“If a salving ship is owned or operated
by the carrier, salvage shall be paid for as fully as if the said salving ship or ships belonged to strangers. Such deposit as
the carrier or his agents may deem sufficient to cover the estimated contribution of the cargo and any salvage and special charges
thereon shall, if required, be made by the cargo, shippers, consignees or owners of the cargo to the carrier before delivery.”


 


Charterers shall procure that all Bills of
Lading issued under this Charter shall contain a provision in the foregoing terms, to be applicable where adjustment of general
average is made in accordance with the laws and practice of the United States of America.

signed at Brussels on 25th August 1924 (hereafter the “Hague Rules”) as amended by the Protocol signed at Brussels
on 23rd February 1968 (hereafter the “Hague-Visby Rules”). Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to be either a
surrender by the carrier of any of his rights or immunities or any increase of any of his responsibilities or liabilities under
the Hague-Visby Rules.”



 


		“(b)	If there is governing legislation which applies the Hague Rules compulsorily to this Bill of Lading,
to the exclusion of the Hague-Visby Rules, then this Bill of Lading shall have effect subject to the Hague Rules. Nothing therein

responsibilities or liabilities under the Hague Rules.”



 


		“(c)	If there is governing legislation which applies the United Nations Convention on the Carriage of

to require cargo owners forthwith to nominate an alternative discharge place for the discharge of the cargo, or such part of it
as may be affected, which alternative place shall not be subject to the prohibition, and carriers shall be entitled to accept orders
from cargo owners to proceed to and discharge at such alternative place. If cargo owners fail to nominate an alternative place
within 72 hours after they or their agents have received from carriers notice of such prohibition, carriers shall be at liberty
to discharge the cargo or such part of it as may be affected by the prohibition at any safe place on which they or the master may
in their or his absolute discretion decide and which is not subject to the prohibition, and such discharge shall constitute due
performance of the contract contained in this Bill of Lading so far as the cargo so discharged is concerned”.


 


The foregoing provision shall apply mutatis
mutandis to this Charter, the references to a Bill of Lading being deemed to be references to this Charter.

	(a)	(i)	During the currency of this Charter, Owners shall procure that both the Vessel and “the Company”
(as defined by the ISPS Code) and the “owner” (as defined by the MTSA) shall comply with the requirements of the ISPS
Code relating to the Vessel and “the Company” and the requirements of MTSA relating to the Vessel and the “owner”.
Upon request Owners shall provide documentary evidence of compliance with this Clause 46 (a) (i).



 


		(ii)	Except as otherwise provided in this Charter, loss, damage, expense or delay, caused by failure
on the part of Owners or “the Company”/“owner” to comply with the requirements of the ISPS Code/MTSA or
this Clause shall be for Owners’ account.



 


	(b)	(i)	Charterers shall provide Owners/Master with their full style contact details
and shall ensure that the contact details of all sub-charterers are likewise provided to Owners/Master. Furthermore, Charterers
shall ensure that all sub-charter parties they enter into during the period of this Charter contain the following provision:



 


“The Charterers shall provide
the Owners with their full style contact details and, where sub-letting is permitted under the terms of the Charter party, shall
ensure that the contact details of all sub-charterers are likewise provided to the Owners”.

on the part of Charterers to comply with this sub-Clause 46 (b) shall be for Charterers’ account.

1 Primary Terminals


 


* 1 A - Primary Terminals ~ Pending


Signifies terminals where some terminal data is
not complete, but which will be treated as Primary Terminals so long as, in order for the Vessel to be accepted by the terminal,
no changes are required to the principal dimensions of the Vessel, including: length, breadth, draft, displacement, location of
cargo manifolds and lay-out of cargo manifolds (pipe size, layout of liquid and vapour lines, manifold dimensions, etc). Owners
and Charterers to cooperate to complete any missing terminal data and to achieve Terminal acceptance and any minor changes to the
Vessel (gangway landing areas/rails, etc.) will be the responsibility of the Owners.


 


*2 Terminals Under Construction


Signifies terminals that are under construction
at the date of signing the Charter party and are not Primary Terminals (“Terminals Under Construction”). Owners and
Charterers agree to work together in good faith in order to obtain: (i) the necessary relevant information to enable Owners to
reasonably assess whether each of the Terminals Under Construction are in all material respects compatible with the Vessel; and
(ii) acceptance of the Vessel by the Terminal Under Construction. Once Owners are reasonably satisfied that a Terminal Under Construction
is in all material respects compatible with the Vessel so as to allow safe navigation, loading and/or discharge, and the Terminal
Under Construction has confirmed to Owners that they are prepared to accept the vessel to call and carry out cargo operations at
their terminal (once completed), Owners agree to add such Terminal Under Construction to the list of Primary Terminals.


 


*3 Terminals With Compatibility Issues


Signifies terminals which have identified compatibility
issues and are not Primary Terminals. However, Owners agree to allow the Vessel to call at such terminals provided: (i) they are
reasonably satisfied that there is sufficient compatibility to allow safe navigation, loading and/or discharge; and (ii) the terminal
have confirmed to Owners their acceptance of the Vessel to call, and carry out cargo operations at their terminal.


 


*4 Terminals Pending Further Data


Signifies terminals in respect of which, at the
date hereof, there is insufficient information available in order to allow Owners to assess whether the terminal is in all material
respects compatible with the Vessel so as to allow safe navigation, loading and/or discharge (“Pending Terminals”).
Owners and Charterers agree to work together in good faith in order to obtain: (i) the necessary relevant information to enable
Owners to reasonably assess whether each of the Pending Terminals are in all material respects compatible with the Vessel; and
(ii) acceptance of the Vessel by the Pending Terminals. Once Owners are reasonably satisfied that a Pending Terminal is in all
material respects compatible with the Vessel so as to allow safe navigation, loading and/or discharge, and the Pending Terminal
has confirmed to Owners that they are prepared to accept the vessel to call and carry out cargo operations at their terminal (once
completed), Owners agree to add such Pending Terminals to the list of Primary Terminals.

		1.	Speed Warranties



 


		(a)	Owners guarantee that the Vessel is capable of steaming and, subject to Article 1(b), shall steam
at the Laden Service Speed or the Ballast Service Speed as set out in Clause 26(a) and (b) as applicable (the “Service Speed”).



 


		(b)	Charterers may order the Vessel to steam at the Service Speed or at any lesser average speed but
not less than the Minimum Speed as set out in Clause 26(c) and not at a greater average speed, except with Owners’ consent,
which shall not be unreasonably withheld. For the avoidance of doubt, it is agreed that Owners may decline orders to steam at any
lesser average speed than the Minimum Speed or at any greater average speed than the Service Speed for operational reasons.

		2.	Timeliness



 


		(a)	Prior to each voyage Charterers may, subject to Article 1(b), instruct the Vessel to proceed so
as to arrive at the pilot boarding station at each port at a given date and time (the “Scheduled Arrival Time” or “SAT”).
Provided however:



 


		(i)	In the event that Charterers fail to provide a SAT to Owners the SAT shall be deemed to be the
estimated arrival time of the Vessel assuming the Vessel steams at the Service Speed by the shortest safe route to the named port
measured from pilot station to pilot station (a “Sea Passage”) (or the route specified by Charterers, if different)
from the time Charterers instruct the Vessel to proceed.



 


		(ii)	The SAT shall in any event not be earlier than the estimated arrival time calculated in accordance
with Article 2(a)(i).



 


		(iii)	Subject to Article 1(b), Charterers may amend the SAT from time to time during or prior to each
voyage to accommodate changes in circumstances concerning the voyage (the “Amended SAT”).



 


		(iv)	The speed at which the Vessel needs to steam in order to meet the SAT or the Amended SAT or any
permissible speed ordered by the Charterers shall be a “Guaranteed Speed”.



 


		(b)	Charterers shall compare the actual time of arrival of the Vessel at the pilot station at each
port with the SAT save that if the SAT was amended solely for reasons not attributable to any failure in performance by the Vessel,
then such comparison shall be made with the Amended SAT.



 


		(c)	If the Vessel arrives at the pilot station at the arrival port not later than ***** after the SAT
or Amended SAT, where applicable, the Vessel shall be deemed to have arrived “On Time”. If the Vessel arrives at the
pilot station more than ***** after the SAT, or Amended SAT where applicable, the Vessel shall be deemed to have arrived “Late”.



 


		(d)	Subject to Article 2(e) and (f), Charterers shall be entitled to make a deduction from hire in
respect of any period by which the Vessel arrives Late.



 


		(e)	Notwithstanding the foregoing but subject to Article 2(f), Charterers shall not be entitled to
make any deduction from hire if the Vessel arrives Late to the extent that such late arrival is caused by one or more of the following
during the voyage and is not indirectly or directly due to Owners’ negligence:



 


		(i)	the incidence of bad weather, being any day in which the Vessel has to proceed in wind force in
excess of Beaufort Force 5 for more than ***** hours noon to noon, or




    	Page 70 of 89



    	



    
Private and Confidential


 


		(ii)	poor visibility, or



 


		(iii)	congested waters, or



 


		(iv)	alterations in speed or course to avoid areas of bad weather, or



 


		(v)	any period spent at a waiting area following arrival, or



 


		(vi)	the saving of life or (with Charterers’ consent) property, or



 


		(vii)	time lost waiting for or as a result of a canal transit, or



 


		(viii)	time taken for bunkering during a sea passage in accordance with Charterers’ instructions,
or



 


		(ix)	time spent steaming at a reduced speed by mandatory order of regulatory bodies having jurisdiction
over the Vessel, or



 


		(x)	time spent steaming at reduced speed as a result of fouling caused by extraordinary delays in port
beyond Owners’ control or as a result of lay-up or usage as storage vessel (if mutually agreed), or



 


		(xi)	time lost for safe navigation and navigating restricted areas



 


		(xii)	time lost in order to observe recommendations as to traffic separation and routing as issued by
the International Maritime Organisation, or any state or agencies whose waters the Vessel may pass.



 


(Article 2(e)(i)(ii)(iii)(iv)(v),(vi)(vii),(viii),(ix),(x),(xi)
and (xii) being known as “Restricted Periods”), or


 


		(xii)	any period when the Vessel is off-hire at sea on any individual voyage. The master shall record
in his daily noon report the time lost in the previous 24 hours due to any of the matters referred to in this Article 2(e).



 


		(f)	If the Vessel arrives Late the following calculation shall be made to assess the period in respect
of which Charterers shall be entitled to deduct hire. The speed of the Vessel shall be calculated over the Sea Passage excluding
all Restricted Periods (the “Achieved Speed”). If the Achieved Speed equals or exceeds the Guaranteed Speed Owners
shall be deemed to have met the speed warranties. If the Achieved Speed is less than the Guaranteed Speed Charterers shall apply
the Achieved Speed to the total Sea Passage and the time at which the Vessel would have arrived if steaming at the Achieved Speed
shall be the Deemed Arrival Time. Charterers shall be entitled to deduct hire to the extent to which the Deemed Arrival Time exceeds
the SAT by more than ***** hours.



 


		(g)	The relationship between this Article 2 and Clause 22 shall be as follows:




    	Page 71 of 89



    	



    
Private and Confidential


 


		(i)	Periods of off-hire under Clause 22 shall be excluded for all purposes from calculations under
this Article 2.



 


		(ii)	Article 2 shall apply to deal with lateness to which Clause 22 does not apply pursuant to Clause
22 (b).



 


		3.	Guaranteed Daily Fuel Consumption



 


		(a)	Owners guarantee that subject to the other provisions of Appendix C, the maximum daily fuel consumption
of the Vessel for all purposes shall not exceed the quantities tabulated in Clause 26(e) and, where applicable shall be prorated
between the speeds shown.



 


		(b)	The average speed in knots on any Voyage (as defined in Article 4) shall be calculated by reference
to the observed distance steamed and the duration of the Voyage, but

excluding from the calculation of average speed the duration of all off-hire periods and distance covered in such periods and excluding
the distance covered during any deviation which is not an off-hire period because the Vessel arrives On Time.



 


		4.	Definitions for Fuel Consumption



 


		(a)	In this Appendix C:



 


		(i)	“EOP” means the time the Vessel records End of Passage on arrival after any voyage.



 


		(ii)	“FAOP” means the time the Vessel proceeds Full Away On Passage from her departure point
on a voyage.



 


		(iii)	“fuel” refers collectively to its two components, fuel oil and Boil-Off, measured in
tonnes



 


		(b)	For the purpose of fuel consumption calculations a voyage shall, where applicable, be divided into
separate segments (each a “Voyage”). A Voyage shall be deemed to have started either:



 


		(i)	at FAOP or



 


		(ii)	immediately after an off-hire period, or



 


		(iii)	at the time the Vessel alters speed to comply with an amended SAT or otherwise pursuant to Charterers’
orders as the case may be.



 


		(c)	A Voyage shall be deemed to have ended either:




    	Page 72 of 89



    	



    
Private and Confidential


 


		(i)	at EOP, or



 


		(ii)	immediately before an off-hire period, or



 


		(iii)	at the time the Vessel alters speed to comply with an amended SAT or otherwise pursuant to Charterers’
orders as the case may be.



 


		5.	Basis of Calculation for Fuel Consumption



 


		(a)	For each Voyage the guaranteed fuel consumption shall be calculated by multiplying the maximum
daily consumption as determined pursuant to Article 3 by the duration of the Voyage calculated on the assumption that the Vessel
steamed at the Guaranteed Speed. In calculating both the guaranteed fuel consumption and the actual fuel consumption Restricted
Periods pursuant to Article 2(e) shall be excluded. Subject as hereinafter provided, there shall be a saving of fuel for that Voyage
equal to the amount by which the guaranteed fuel consumption exceeds the actual fuel consumption and an excess consumption for
that Voyage equal to the amount by which the actual fuel consumption exceeds the guaranteed fuel consumption. Such saving or excess
shall be adjusted to take into account the Restricted Periods by dividing such saving or excess by the number of miles over which
the fuel consumption has been calculated and multiplying by the same number of miles plus the miles steamed during the Restricted
Periods in order to establish the total saving or excess in fuel consumption for the Voyage.



 


		(b)	If on any Voyage the Vessel has to steam faster than the Service Speed or slower than the Minimum
Speed pursuant to Charterers’ orders, or in order to achieve the SAT (provided this is not attributable to any failure of
performance by the Vessel), the Vessel shall be deemed to have complied with the fuel consumption guarantees for the duration of
such Voyage.



 


		(c)	Owners’ warranties relating to speed and fuel consumption shall not apply to the period between
the end of one Voyage and the start of the next Voyage as described in Article 4.



 


		(d)	As soon as practicable after receipt of the necessary voyage returns, Charterers shall furnish
Owners with their calculations determining fuel consumption on each Voyage.



 


		(e)	At the conclusion of the charter period or annually (whichever occurs first) (the “Performance
Period”), the quantities of excess fuel used and the quantities of fuel saved on all voyages in the Performance Period shall
each be added up. The total of fuel saved for the Performance Period shall then be subtracted from the total of excess fuel used
for the Performance Period and if the balance is positive Charterers shall deduct from hire due under Clause 11 an amount calculated
by multiplying the net excess quantity of fuel consumed for the Performance Period by the weighted average price paid by the Charterers
for fuel oil for the Vessel over the Performance Period in question. If the balance is zero or negative, Owners shall be deemed
to have complied with their Fuel consumption obligations for the Performance Period.

		6.	Actual Fuel Consumption on a Voyage



 


		(a)	The actual fuel consumption on a Voyage shall, subject to Article 6(b), be the sum of,



 


		(i)	the fuel oil consumed during the Voyage (expressed in tonnes ) and excluding any fuel oil used
in any off-hire period on that voyage; and



 


		(ii)	the fuel equivalent of the total volume of cargo lost as Boil-Off during the Voyage (expressed
in tonnes of Fuel Oil Equivalent) excluding any Boil-Off in any off-hire period on that voyage and excluding any Boil-Off in excess
of guaranteed maximum Boil-Off under the provisions of Article 8, except the excess that is a result of Charterers’ orders
as per Article 7(b).



 


		(b)	For the purpose of this Article 6 the Fuel Oil Equivalent of the LNG lost as Boil-Off which is
available as fuel during the voyage shall be assumed to be the total volumetric loss of the cargo, measured in cubic meters, as
determined from the difference between gaugings at the loading and discharging ports (in accordance with Article 9), pro rated
for the difference between the on hire voyage and gauging times and multiplied by the Fuel Oil Equivalent factor set out in Clause
26(f).



 


		7.	Guaranteed Maximum Boil-Off



 


		(a)	Owners guarantee that Boil-Off shall not exceed:



 


		(i)	the maximum laden Boil-Off percentage stated in Clause 26(g); and



 


		(ii)	the maximum ballast Boil-Off percentage stated in Clause 26(h).



 


		(b)	If Charterers give orders that require the temperature or vapour pressure of a cargo to fall during
a laden sea passage and that order is complied with, the Boil-Off guarantee shall be deemed to have been complied with on that
sea passage.



 


		8.	Boil-Off Calculations



 


		(a)	The Boil-Off excess or saving on any sea passage shall be calculated by comparing the guaranteed
Boil-Off for the sea passage (i.e. the daily guaranteed maximum Boil-Off multiplied by the time between gaugings) with the actual
Boil-Off.



 


		(b)	The actual amount of Boil-Off on a sea passage shall be calculated by subtracting the volume of
LNG contained in the Vessel’s tanks at gauging after the sea passage from the volume therein at gauging before the sea passage.



 


		(c)	If the Vessel was off-hire during any sea passage the excess or saving shall be pro rated in the
same proportion as the time on hire is to the total time between gaugings.




    	Page 74 of 89



    	



    
Private and Confidential


 


		(d)	At the conclusion of the charter period or annually (whichever occurs first) (the “Performance
Period”), the quantities of excess Boil-Off and the quantities of Boil-Off saved on all trips in the Performance Period shall
each be added up. The total Boil-Off saved for any such period shall then be subtracted from the total excess Boil-Off in the same
period and if the balance is positive Charterers may deduct from hire due under Clause 11 an amount calculated by multiplying the
said balance by the LNG Price or, if more than one LNG Price is applicable during the Performance Period, the arithmetical average
of such LNG Prices. If the balance is zero or negative, then Owners shall be deemed to have complied with this Clause for the Performance
Period.



 


		9.	Spray Cooling, Forced Vaporisation and use of Boil-Off



 


		(a)	If on any sea passage, Charterers order the Vessel to force vaporise LNG to eliminate or minimise
the use of bunkers and the order is complied with, the Boil-Off guarantee shall be deemed to have been complied with on that sea
passage.



 


		(b)	The master shall notify Charterers if he/she is of the opinion that the Vessel will not, on arrival
at the loading port, be able to commence bulk loading within half an hour after cooling of the loading arms without spray cooling
on the ballast sea passage.



 


		(c)	Without prejudice to any of Owners’ or Charterers’ obligations under this Article 9;
if Owners intend to order spray cooling at any time during the charter period, Owners agree, if requested by Charterers, to discuss
the reasons and technical basis for spray cooling.



 


		(d)	Subject to the provisions of this Charter, Owners shall have free use of Boil-Off. At no time during
the charter period, (except for safety reasons) shall the Vessel use the vent system as a primary means of controlling the cargo
tank pressures. Any such safety related venting, or venting caused by any other reason, shall immediately be reported to Charterers
(as per Clause 68(d)) with full explanation as to why venting was required and duration and quantity of venting.



 


		(e)	Each of the Vessel’s four diesel generators is to be equipped with a dual system to burn
either Boil-Off gas from the LNG carried (together with a diesel pilot oil) or, diesel oil alone or heavy fuel oil (together with
a diesel pilot oil) as independent of the other engines as the Vessel’s design allows. The Vessel shall, at Charterers’
option, use the available Boil-Off gas, or fuel, or complement the boil-off gas being used as fuel by forced vaporised natural
gas or by fuel oil, within such limits as may be imposed by Charterers and, in any event, by safety regulations and the safety
of the Vessel.



 


		10.	Provisions for Gauging



 


		(a)	The time at which any volume of LNG is determined is referred to in this Charter as a gauging time.



 


		(b)	In relation to any laden sea passage the cargo volume on loading at the start of the laden sea
passage shall be the volume of LNG contained in the Vessel’s cargo tanks measured




    	Page 75 of 89



    	



    
Private and Confidential


 


			promptly after the closing of the Vessel’s manifold vapour return valve in the loading port
and on discharge at the end of the laden sea passage shall be the volume of LNG contained in the Vessel’s cargo tanks measured
promptly before the opening of the Vessel’s manifold vapour return valve in the discharge port.



 


		(c)	In relation to any ballast sea passage the LNG heel volume after discharge (i.e. at the start of
the ballast sea passage) shall be the volume of LNG contained in the Vessel’s cargo tanks measured promptly after the closing
of the manifold vapour return valve in the discharge port and the LNG heel volume on loading (i.e. at the end of the ballast sea
passage) shall be the volume of LNG contained in the Vessel’s cargo tanks measured promptly before the opening of the Vessel’s
manifold vapour return valve in the loading port.



 


		11.	Underwater Cleaning / Waiting at Anchorage



 


		(a)	Charterers may request Owners at any time to arrange for the cleaning afloat of the Vessel’s
underwater hull and propeller whereupon Owners shall arrange for the said cleaning to take place provided that:



 


		(i)	the Vessel is free of cargo but may be under vapour if permitted by the port authority and;



 


		(ii)	in Owners’ opinion such cleaning will not damage in any way the Vessel’s underwater
hull coatings and the cleaning method is approved by the coating manufacturer, and;



 


		(iii)	such cleaning afloat can be carried out safely at a place approved by Owners and where the water
is sufficiently clear for an underwater survey to be made of cleanliness of the Vessel’s hull and propeller immediately thereafter.
The Vessel shall be considered clean when the hull is substantially free from macroscopic and microscopic biofouling.



 


		(iv)	Charterers may request Owners to perform underwater cleaning
to be carried out when the vessel is fully loaded to enable access to entire underwater area. Owners and Charterers shall agree
whether this procedure can be safely carried out.



 


		(b)	The cost of such underwater hull and propeller cleaning and underwater survey referred to in Article
11 (a) shall be for Charterers’ account and the Vessel shall remain on hire for their duration. If the underwater survey
shows that both the Vessel’s underwater hull and propeller are substantially free from macroscopic and microscopic biofouling,
a successful cleaning shall be deemed to have occurred.




    	Page 76 of 89



    	



    
    Private and Confidential


 



		(c)	If Charterers order the Vessel to wait at anchorage or in lay up for more than 20 days on any one
occasion or more than 60 days comprising periods of not less than 5 days each in any period of 6 months, and, if as a result of
such waiting or lay up Owners have good reason to believe that the performance of the Vessel or her fuel consumption is affected
and speed and/or fuel warranties can no longer be met because of fouling then Owners shall so state by written notice to Charterers
and if Charterers request, shall carry out an underwater inspection at Charterers’ expense to see if there is fouling of
the hull and/or propeller.



 


			To prevent hull fouling from marine growth during charter period, wherever
                                                                            practically possible, Charterers are required to steam the Vessel for a period of 24 hours, every 7 days after anchoring, at
                                                                            a speed between 14 and 15 knots.



 


		(d)	If as a result of the aforesaid inspection, Owners consider that there is evidence of such fouling
then if Charterers so request, Owners shall arrange and carry out cleaning afloat of the Vessel’s underwater hull and propeller
provided that the provisions of Article 11 (a)(i), (ii) and (iii) apply.



 


		(e)	The cost of such underwater hull and propeller cleaning and underwater survey referred to in Article
11 (d) shall be for Charterers’ account and the Vessel shall remain on hire for their duration. If the underwater survey
shows that both the Vessel’s underwater hull and propeller are substantially free from macroscopic and microscopic biofouling,
a successful cleaning shall be deemed to have occurred.



 


		(f)	If any inspection pursuant to Article 11 (c) reveals the presence of hull or propeller fouling,
or if Charterers decline to request an inspection following receipt of a notice from Owners under Article 11 (c), then from the
time Owners give written notice that performance is affected by fouling, Owners shall be deemed to have complied with the speed
and fuel warranties until the completion of the next periodic dry-docking or successful cleaning, whichever occurs sooner.



 


		12.	Interpretation



 


		(a)	In this Appendix C, “Article” shall mean an Article of this Appendix, and “Clause”
shall mean a Clause of the Charter.



 


		(b)	In the event of any conflict between the Charter and Appendix C, Appendix C shall prevail.



 


		13.	Weather Limits for Performance Warranties



 


Speed, boil-off and fuel consumption warranties
defined in this Appendix are not valid under weather conditions in which the Vessel has to proceed in wind force in excess of Beaufort
Force 5 for more than ***** hours noon to noon.



    	Page 77 of 89



    	



    
Private and Confidential


 


For the purposes of calculating claims, the Wind
Force reported in the Master’s noon report shall be used. Charterers may employ the services of a reputable weather reporting
company at their own cost.


 


In the event of a consistent discrepancy between
deck logs and weather reporting company’s reports, Owners and Charterers shall meet in good faith to agree which numbers
shall be used.

LETTER OF QUIET ENJOYMENT


 


[Letterhead of Mortgagee]


 


[To Charterers]


 


[ —
] 2014


 


Dear Sirs,


 


Re: [ —
] (the “Vessel”)


 


We refer to:


 


		a.	the time charter dated [ — ] (the “Time
Charter”) made between [ — ] as owners and you (the “Time
Charterer”) as charterers in respect of the Vessel;



 


		b.	a facility agreement dated [ — ] (the “Loan
Agreement”) made between [ — ] (the “Owner”) as
borrower, us as agent and as security agent and trustee (the “Security Agent”), and the financial institutions
named on the signature pages therein as lenders the “Finance Parties”); and



 


		c.	[ — ] the first priority mortgage executed
or to be executed by the Owner over the Vessel in our favour between the Owners and us (the “Mortgage”).



 


		1.	References in this Letter to the Time Charter or to the Loan Agreement and the Mortgage (together
the “Finance Documents”) shall include such documents as amended, supplemented or varied from time to time so
long as any such amendment, supplement or variation has been notified to, and agreed by, us. References to paragraphs are to paragraphs
of this Letter.



 


		2.	The Security Agent confirms that:



 


a. it has received
a copy of the Time Charter and is familiar with its terms; and


 


b. it consents to
the Owners’ execution of the Time Charter.


 


		3.	In consideration of the sum of US$10.00 and for other good and valuable consideration (receipt
and the sufficiency of which the Security Agent acknowledges), the Security Agent undertakes for itself and on behalf of the other
Finance Parties not, without the Time Charterer’s prior written consent, but subject as provided below and subject to this
undertaking expiring on the expiry of the charter period to:



 


		(a)	issue any arrest, detention or similar proceedings against the Vessel in any jurisdiction; or



 


		(b)	exercise any power of sale or other disposal of the Vessel or of foreclosure to which the Security
Agent may be entitled or make any application for the sale of the Vessel or any

			share therein in any part of the world whether by public auction or private treaty or
                                                                            otherwise (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any steps to be taken solely to protect, but not enforce, the Finance
                                                                            Parties’ rights in any arrest proceedings or applications for sale made against the Vessel by any third parties, but
                                                                            only insofar as any such proceedings or applications are continuing and not permanently stayed, and subject to the condition
                                                                            that the Security Agent shall cease any such action upon the relevant proceedings or application being permanently stayed
                                                                            (and release any arrest, or caveat against release, upon the relevant third party arrest being released) and the Security
                                                                            Agent shall notify the Time Charterer in writing promptly upon taking or ceasing any such action); or



 


		(c)	take possession of the Vessel; or



 


		(d)	appoint a receiver in respect of the Vessel; or



 


		(e)	exercise against the Vessel any right or remedy which would diminish, prejudice or interfere with
the Time Charterer’s rights, options, benefits or privileges under the Time Charter or otherwise interfere with the quiet
use and enjoyment of the Vessel by the Time Charterer under the Time Charter; or



 


		(f)	take any step to wind up, liquidate, or place in administration or receivership the Owner nor commence
or continue any analogous steps, actions or proceedings in any jurisdiction (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, proving in
a liquidation commenced by any third party, but only insofar as any such steps, actions or proceedings are continuing and not permanently
stayed, and subject to the condition that the Security Agent shall cease any such steps, actions or proceedings upon the relevant
third party steps, actions or proceedings being permanently stayed and the Security Agent shall notify the Time Charterers in writing
promptly upon taking or ceasing any such steps, actions or proceedings);



 


SUBJECT ALWAYS:


 


		(i)	to there having occurred no event under the Time Charter (a “Charterers’ Termination
Event”) in consequence of which the Owner, is entitled to terminate and has lawfully terminated the Time Charter in accordance
with its terms including, without limitation, withdrawal of the Vessel from the Time Charter by the Owner under the terms of the
Time Charter for non-payment of hire; and



 


		(ii)	to the Vessel not having become an actual, agreed, arranged or constructive total loss and being
no longer available to the Owner;



 


		4.	The Security Agent agrees that unless the Time Charterer is no longer entitled to the use and quiet
enjoyment of the Vessel under paragraph 3 above, if the Security Agent enforces or exercises its rights pursuant to the Finance
Documents in accordance with the terms thereof, the Security Agent may only sell or transfer the Vessel expressly subject to the
terms of the Time Charter (a “Permitted Transfer”) and provided that:



 


(a)the rights of the Time Charterer
under the Time Charter shall be fully preserved and protected following the Permitted Transfer; and



    	Page 86 of 89



    	



    
Private and Confidential


 


(b)before the Permitted Transfer,
if the Owners’ rights as “Owners” under the Time Charter are to be assigned or transferred to a third party,
such third party (the “Substitute”) has assumed the rights and obligations of the Owner under the Time Charter
and this Letter; and


 


(c)the Substitute is acceptable to
the Time Charterer acting reasonably.


 


The Time Charterer shall give its consent
to the proposed Substitute if the Time Charterer is satisfied, acting reasonably, that the validity and enforceability of the Time
Charter will not in any way be prejudiced, and if that Substitute (not being a competitor of the Time Charterer) has such (i) legal
capacity (ii) technical competence and (iii) financial capability as are reasonably required to become a party and to perform the
obligations of the Owner under the Time Charter, and, provided that (but without prejudice to such Substitute’s ability
to meet the foregoing criteria in other circumstances):


 


		(a)	arrangements concluded with third parties by the proposed Substitute shall be taken into account
in evaluating its technical competence and financial capability; and



 


		(b)	in the case of any proposed Substitute which is an affiliate of the Security Agent or a Finance
Party, evidence that it is controlled by the Security Agent or a Finance Party shall be sufficient evidence of financial capability
for the purposes of this paragraph 4(a);



 


The Owner undertakes not to make any claim
against the Vessel and/or Substitute and/or the Time Charterer arising directly from a Permitted Transfer made under this Letter.


 


The Time Charterer shall use all reasonable
endeavours to co-operate with the Security Agent in order to effect a Permitted Transfer at the expense of the Security Agent.


 


		5.	By countersigning this Letter, the Time Charterer hereby acknowledges and agrees that:



 


		(a)	subject to the provisions of paragraphs 3 and 4, the enforcement, in accordance with the terms
of the Finance Documents, by the Security Agent of any security interests granted in favour of the Security Agent pursuant to the
Finance Documents or the sale or transfer of the Vessel pursuant to the Finance Documents to any other person shall not constitute
a disturbance of the Time Charter or the Time Charterer’s use and quiet enjoyment of the Vessel in accordance with the terms
of the Time Charter;



 


		(b)	the covenant by the Security Agent in this Letter is the sole covenant by the Security Agent in
respect of quiet enjoyment and is in substitution for, and to the exclusion of, any other covenant for quiet enjoyment which may
have otherwise been given by any other party or implied at law or otherwise.



 


		6.	The Time Charterer agrees that:



 


		(a)	without prejudice to any other rights the Time Charterer may have in respect of any default by
the Owner of any of its obligations under the Time Charter, the Time Charterer will not take any enforcement action in respect
of or otherwise terminate the Time Charter without first notifying the Security Agent in writing and giving the Security Agent
the opportunity to remedy (or procure the remedy of) any default by the Owner of any of its obligations under or in connection
with the Time Charter within the relevant period referred to below. Unless the Security Agent notifies the Time Charterer in writing
that it does not wish to exercise any remedy rights, the Time Charterer will not




    	Page 87 of 89



    	



    
Private and Confidential


 


			terminate the Time Charter if the Security Agent does so remedy (or procure the remedy of) the
default within thirty (30) days of the Time Charterer giving notice to the Owner (copied to the Security Agent) of the default
by the Owner to perform its obligations under the Time Charter (which cure period shall be extended to sixty (60) days if it is
demonstrated to the Time Charterer (acting reasonably) that the Security Agent is continuing to diligently remedy (or procure the
remedy of) the default);



 


		(b)	if the Security Agent, pursuant to a Permitted Transfer, exercises the power of sale under the
Mortgage and/or assigns or transfers the rights of the “Owners” under the Time Charter to the Substitute, the Time
Charterer will not terminate the Time Charter by reason solely of such transfer (without prejudice to any accrued rights). In such
circumstances, the Time Charterer agrees that the Substitute shall, with effect from the date of the Permitted Transfer and notwithstanding
any other provisions thereof, become a party to the Time Charter in place of the Owner and shall be treated for all purposes as
if the Substitute had originally been named a party in place of the Owner (without prejudice to any accrued rights).



 


		7.	The Security Agent acknowledges that the Time Charterer is not a party to and is not bound by the
provisions of any of the Finance Documents.



 


		8.	The Security Agent acknowledges that the terms of this Letter shall (subject to such beneficiary
similarly confirming and consenting to the terms of this Letter) enure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the Time
Charterer under the Time Charter.



 


		9.	The Security Agent confirms that it has been duly authorised to issue this Letter on behalf of
the Finance Parties and that its issuance conforms with the Loan Agreement and, without limitation, the agency provisions described
therein.



 


		10.	The terms of this Letter (including any non-contractual obligations in connection with this Letter)
shall be governed by and construed in accordance with English law and the provisions of Clause 47 (Law and litigation) of
the Time Charter shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to any dispute arising out of this Letter (including any non-contractual obligations
in connection with this Letter) as if such provisions were set out in this Letter.



 


Please acknowledge your receipt of and your agreement
to the terms of this Letter by signing the attached copy where indicated and returning it to us.


 


Each of the parties signing this Letter intends
that the agreement constituted by this Letter shall take effect as a deed notwithstanding the fact that a party may only sign this
Letter under hand.
