 PART II 
  

	1	Delivery and Redelivery 


The Charterer, as bareboat charter operator of the Vessel before entry and inception of this Charter, is fully aware of the Vessel’s
condition. 
 The Charterer agrees that the Vessel’s condition is acceptable in every respect whatsoever and that the Vessel
is in full compliance with this Charter. 
 Accordingly, the Vessel shall be deemed delivered and taken over strictly “as
is, where is” and, notwithstanding any term, condition, representation or warranty whatsoever (whether express or implied) to the contrary, the Charterer shall not have or assert (and hereby waives) all claims whatsoever against the Owner,
whether known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, accrued or unaccrued, with respect to the Vessel. 
 The Charterer
acknowledges and agrees that all conditions and recommendations of class shall be removed before the Vessel is redelivered to the Owner if it is not purchased pursuant to Part I Clause 7(f) of the Bareboat Charter. 

If any latent defect, deficiency or non-conformity should appear or arise during the Charter Term, the Charterer shall repair or replace
the same at its cost and in its time. The Charterer agrees that the Owner shall not have any liability whatsoever to the Charterer if the Vessel should prove to be unsuitable for the Charterer’s purposes for any reason whatsoever, or if the
Vessel should cease to be available to the Charterer for any reason whatsoever except where the Charterer is deprived of the use of the Vessel by an independent breach of this Charter by the Owner. 

At the end of the Charter Term the Charterer shall redeliver the Vessel to the Owner at the place of redelivery specified in Part I.

  

	2	Permitted Use

	3	Charter Hire And Payment 


[*] 
  

	4	Insurance And Agreed Value 


Throughout the term of this Charter the Charterer shall keep the Vessel insured at its cost and risk (including deductible risks), against
all risks usually insured against by first class and prudent owners and operators of passenger vessels including marine risks, hull and machinery risks, war risks, excess risks, protection and indemnity risks with full standard coverage up to the
highest limit of liability available for pollution risks, and any risks against which it is compulsory to insure by reason of the Vessel’s operations (including financial security in respect of third party liabilities) in such amounts, on such
conditions (including conditions protecting the Owner’s interest in the Vessel), and with such independent first class insurers, underwriters and protection and indemnity associations as the Owner (acting reasonably) may approve from time to
time. 

  
 6 








 For the purposes of the insurance cover to be arranged and maintained by the Charterer, the
agreed total loss value shall not be less than the amount specified in Part I, Clause 6. 
 The Charter shall punctually pay all
premiums, calls, contributions or other sums payable in respect of the Vessel’s insurances and shall renew all insurances on a timely basis. 
 The Charterer shall bear all risks of loss of or damage to the Vessel, however and whenever the same may be caused. The Charterer shall ensure that all sums receivable in respect of any partial loss and
damage relating to the Vessel shall be applied promptly to discharge all liabilities in respect of the loss or (as the case may be) to pay all costs in respect of full repair of damage or (as the case may be) replacement of parts or equipment so as
to put the Vessel back into the condition required by this Charter. 
 All repair and replacement work in relation to the Vessel
shall be planned and carried out (including with respect to materials and workmanship) in accordance with best practice and so as not to diminish the value or to adversely affect the classification or insurance status of the Vessel. 

For the avoidance of doubt, if any loss of or damage to or in respect of the Vessel (including any relating to any latent defect,
deficiency or non-conformity in the Vessel) is not be covered by insurance or if for any reason whatsoever the Charterer does not make any or a full insurance recovery in respect of any such loss or damage, this shall not relieve the Charterer of
its obligation promptly to discharge all liabilities in respect of the loss or (as the case may be) to pay all costs in respect of the full repair of the damage or (as the case may be) replacement of parts or equipment so as to put the Vessel back
into the condition required by this Charter. 
 All time relating to repair or replacement works, including time expended in any
deviation from the Vessel’s itinerary, shall be for the Charterer’s account. 
 The Charterer shall immediately notify
the Owner of any circumstance or occurrence in consequence of which the Vessel is likely to become a total loss. 
 Should the
Vessel become a total loss, the Charterer agrees promptly to pay the Owner the full amount of the agreed total loss value specified in Part I, Clause 6 less the amount of any insurance proceeds received by the Owner from the Vessel’s insurers
in respect of such total loss. 
 All insurance proceeds for loss of the Vessel shall be paid to the Owner who shall distribute
the moneys between the Owner and the Charterer according to their respective interests and taking into account any payment previously made by the Charterer to the Owner in respect of the loss. 

Before inception of this Charter and upon the Owner’s request from time to time during the Charter Term, the Charterer shall provide
the Owner with such documentation and information as the Owner may require showing the insurance cover that the Charterer has arranged and is maintaining in connection with the Vessel. 

If the Charterer fails to place or maintain any of the required insurance cover or if, by any act or omission, the Charterer vitiates or
invalidates any 

  
 7 








 
of such cover, the Charterer shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Owner and the other beneficiaries of such insurance to the extent it or any of them suffers or incurs any loss, damage,
liability, cost in consequence of such failure, act or omission. In addition, the Owner may (but shall not be bound) to take such steps as it considers fit to remedy the Charterer’s default and in any such case all costs expended by the Owner
shall be paid on demand by the Charterer to the Owner. 
  

	5	Surveys and Inspections 


The Owner and the Charterer shall jointly appoint an independent surveyor for the purpose of determining and recording in writing the
condition of the Vessel and an inventory of the Vessel’s main parts and equipment at the redelivery of the Vessel under this Charter. Each Party shall bear and pay one half of the surveyor’s costs. The survey report of the Vessel prepared
by the independent surveyor in [*] shall be the base for the condition at delivery. 
 From time to time upon reasonable notice
by the Owner, the Charterer shall make the Vessel available for survey or inspection by the Owner’s nominated surveyor or inspector who shall be paid for by the Owner. 

 

	6	Maintenance and Documentation 

 Throughout the Charter Term and without prejudice to the Charterer’s obligations respecting the redelivery condition of the Vessel, the Charterer shall at its cost and in its time: 

 

	 	(i)	maintain the Vessel, its parts and equipment in a good and efficient state of repair and operating condition, in accordance with good commercial maintenance practice
and otherwise in full compliance with all conditions, recommendations, regulations and other requirements of the agencies, authorities and bodies having jurisdiction over the Vessel from time to time including, without limitation, the flag and port
state authorities, the International Maritime Organisation and the Classification Society; 

  

	 	(ii)	submit the Vessel to continuous survey in respect of its hull and machinery and to such other surveys as may be required for classification, insurance or regulatory
purposes; 

  

	 	(iii)	keep the Vessel’s classification up to date with the Classification Society and comply with all classification conditions, recommendations and other requirements
on a timely basis; 

  

	 	(iv)	dry-dock the Vessel and clean and paint her underwater parts whenever the same may be necessary; 


 

	 	(v)	replace any parts or equipment that are damaged or become so worn as to be unfit for use, and carry out such repairs as may from time to time be necessary, in
accordance with best practice and so as not to diminish the value or to adversely affect the classification or insurance status of the Vessel ; and 

  

	 	(vi)	 procure and maintain in full force and effect, with full validity and without any restriction, all such certificates, permits, licenses and other
documents as may be required from time to time by 



  
 8 









	 	 
the Classification Society and by all such national, state, local or international codes (including, without limitation, the International Management Code for the Safe Operation of Ships and for
Pollution Prevention, and the International Ship and Port Facility Security Code), laws, regulations or conventions as may be or as may become applicable to the Vessel from time to time. 



If any improvements, capital expenditures, structural changes or new equipment should become necessary, whether by reason of new
classification or regulatory requirements or otherwise, the Charterer shall arrange for the relevant works to be carried out during the Charter Term and all related costs and time shall be for the Charterer’s account. 

 

	7	Debts, Liens 

 The
Charterer shall promptly pay all assessments, charges, debts, damages, dues, fines, liabilities, monetary sanctions, penalties, taxes, tolls and other outgoings in respect of the Vessel. 

Neither the Charterer nor the Master of the Vessel nor any other person shall have any authority, power or right to create, incur or
permit to be asserted against or imposed upon the Vessel, any claims, liens or other encumbrances of any nature whatsoever, and the Charterer shall so notify any entity or person which has dealings with the Vessel including (without limitation)
repairers, suppliers, or providers of towage services or necessaries to the Vessel. 
 The Charterer shall carry a certified true
copy of this Charter with the Vessel’s papers on board the Vessel and undertakes that it shall, on demand, to exhibit the same to any person having business with the Charterer or the Vessel. 

The Charterer agrees to defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Owner against all claims, liens and encumbrances whatsoever and to
promptly remove any claims, liens or encumbrances that are at any time asserted against or imposed on the Vessel and which are alleged to have arisen at any time before or during the Charter Term. 

The Charterer further agrees to defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Owner against all loss, damage and cost resulting from any arrest,
capture, detention, restraint or other seizure of the Vessel and the consequences thereof or from acts of piracy, warlike operations or other hostile acts against or affecting the Vessel, whether there be a declaration of war or not, and against any
consequences of civil war, revolution, rebellion, insurrection or civil strife affecting the Vessel. 
 If the Vessel should be
arrested, captured, detained, restrained or otherwise seized the Charter will immediately notify the Owner in writing and, at the Charter’s cost and risk, take all such steps (whether by posting bail or otherwise) as may be required to procure
the immediate release of the Vessel. 
 Without prejudice to the Charterer’s responsibility for all claims, liens or
encumbrances arising out of the ownership or operation of the Vessel before the Charter Term and the chartering of the Vessel under this Charter, the Charterer shall not be responsible for any claims, liens or encumbrances asserted or imposed on the
Vessel in respect of any 

  
 9 








 
independent obligation or liability of the Owner which does not arise out of or by reason of or in connection with the chartering of the Vessel under this Charter. 

 

	8	Charterer’s Equipment 


The Charterer may fit additional equipment on the Vessel for use in connection with the Charterer’s operations provided that this is
done without any damage to the Vessel or any diminution in the value of the Vessel or any adverse effect on the Vessel’s classification or insurance status and further provided that no structural change may be made to the Vessel without the
Owner’s prior written consent. The Charterer may remove equipment installed by it before redelivery provided that it restores the Vessel to the same condition existing prior to installation of such equipment. The Charterer shall bear all cost
and risk of fitting, installation, removal and restoration works. 
  

	9	Assignment, Sub-charter 


The Charterer shall not sub-charter the Vessel on any basis whatsoever or sell, assign or transfer this Charter without the prior written
consent of the Owner which consent, in the free discretion of the Owner, may be withheld without the need to give any reason or may be granted subject to the imposition of such conditions as the Owner may require.

Owner shall not be responsible for any transportation, use, sales, property or any other similar or dissimilar taxes or royalties levied or assessed by any taxing entity, foreign or domestic, in connection with this Charter, the Vessel or the
operation or use of the Vessel before or during the Charter Term or, to the extent applicable, for any U.S. Customs duties for repairs performed in non-U.S. shipyards, and all such taxes, duties and royalties shall be for the Charterer’s
account, and if any such are incurred, the Charterer shall promptly pay the same or defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Owner (if any have been levied or assessed against it).
