any liability to pay any Charterhire, the Advance Charterhire, the Deposit or other payment due under this Charter or the other Leasing Documents. 



CLAUSE 40 – TERMINATION, REDELIVERY AND TOTAL LOSS 
  

	40.1	 If the Termination Purchase Price becomes payable in accordance with Clause 44.2 or 44A.1 or 44A.3, the same shall be
payable in consideration of the purchase and transfer of the legal and beneficial title of the Vessel pursuant to Clause 40.4 and it is agreed by the Parties that payment of the Termination Purchase Price is deemed to be proportionate as to amount,

	40.2	 Upon the full and irrevocable receipt by the Owners of the Termination Purchase Price pursuant to Clause 40.1 on the
Termination Date, this Charter shall terminate and the title in the Vessel shall be transferred to the Charterers on the Termination Date pursuant to Clause 40.4. 



 

	40.3	 If the Charterers fail to make full payment of the Termination Purchase Price on the Termination Date:



  

	(a)	 (i)         Clauses 36.10 and 36.11 shall apply; and 



 

	 	(ii)	 the Charterers’ right to possess and operate the Vessel shall cease on the Termination Date and (without in any way

Vessel to the Owners on the Termination Date (or such other date as the Owners may require) at such ready and safe port as the Owners may require. 


  

	(b)	 Without prejudice to any rights which the Owners may have in the capacity as owner of the Vessel, the Owners shall

the Termination Purchase Price, in which case if:

this Charter following such application the Charterers shall continue to be liable for the shortfall and interest shall continue to accrue on such shortfall in accordance with Clause 36.10 and 36.11. 



For the avoidance of doubt once the Owners has applied the Termination Value in accordance with this Clause 40.3(b)(ii)(B) the Owners’ obligation

the Charterers) execute a bill of sale and a protocol of delivery and acceptance evidencing the same and the Vessel shall be deemed to have to be delivered to the Charterers (or their nominee) on the date and time set out in such protocol of

	40.5	 The Charterers hereby undertake to indemnify the Owners against any claims incurred in relation to the Vessel as a result

limitation, the costs of any docking and/or repairs which may be required to restore the Vessel to the structure, state, condition and class as that in which the Vessel was delivered (fair wear and tear not affecting class excepted, but without any
overdue recommendations or conditions as to class)) as a result of the Vessel not being redelivered in accordance with the terms of this Charter.

 provided that it is hereby agreed that any insurance
proceeds in respect of the Vessel received by the Owners and/or their financiers (if any) shall be applied in or towards discharging the Charterers’ obligation to pay the Termination Purchase Price and any interest accrued thereon (and such
application shall be deemed satisfaction of the Charterers’ obligation to pay the Termination Purchase Price to the extent so satisfied) and in the event that the insurance proceeds received from the insurers exceed the Termination Purchase
Price due (and any interest accrued thereon), the excess shall be firstly paid towards satisfying any amounts outstanding and owing by the Charterers or any of their Affiliates under any Other Charter and thereafter paid to the Charterers.

made by the Charterers in accordance with the terms thereof unless and until the Owners receive in full the Termination Purchase Price; 


  

	 	(B)	 should insurance proceeds be received by the Owners from the insurers, the Charterers’ obligations to pay the
Termination Purchase Price shall be accordingly reduced by an amount corresponding to such insurance proceeds but in the event that such insurance proceeds are less than the amount of the Termination Purchase Price together with any interest accrued
thereon, the Charterers remain obliged to pay to the Owners the balance so that the full amount of the Termination Purchase Price due together with any interest accrued thereon is received by the Owners; and 



 

	 	(C)	 the obligation of the Charterers to pay the Termination Purchase Price shall remain unaffected and exist regardless of
whether any of the insurers have agreed or refused to meet or have disputed in good faith, the claim for Total Loss.

regarding the existence, validity or termination of this Agreement or any non-contractual obligation arising out of or in connection with this Agreement) (a “Dispute”) shall be referred to and finally resolved by arbitration in London in
accordance with the Arbitration Act 1996 or any statutory modification or re-enactment thereof save to the extent necessary to give effect to the provisions of this Clause 30. The arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the London Maritime

appoints its own arbitrator and gives notice that it has done so within the 14 days specified. If the other party does not appoint its own arbitrator and give notice 5

notice to the other party, appoint its arbitrator as sole arbitrator and shall advise the other party accordingly. The award of a sole arbitrator shall be binding on both parties as if he had been appointed by agreement. Nothing herein shall prevent
