				The Sellers shall place the Vessel in
				drydock at the port of delivery for inspection by the Classification Society of
				the Vessel’s underwater parts below the deepest load line, the extent of
				the inspection being in accordance with the Classification Society’s
				rules. If the rudder, propeller, bottom or other underwater parts below the
				deepest load line are found broken, damaged or defective so as to affect the
				Vessel’s class, such defects shall be made good at the Sellers’
				expense to the satisfaction of the Classification Society without
				condition/recommendation*.

				      The Vessel is to be delivered without
				drydocking. However, the Buyers shall have the right at their expense to
				arrange for an underwater inspection by a diver approved by the Classification
				Society prior to the delivery of the Vessel. The Sellers shall at their cost
				make the Vessel available for such inspection. The extent of the inspection and

				Classification Society. If the conditions at the port of delivery are
				unsuitable for such inspection, the Sellers shall make the Vessel available at
				a suitable alternative place near to the delivery port.
			 

		  
	 	 
	 	
			 
				(ii)       If the rudder, propeller,
				bottom or other underwater parts below the deepest load line are found broken,
				damaged or defective so as to affect the Vessel’s class, then unless
				repairs can be carried out afloat to the satisfaction of the Classification
				Society, the Sellers shall arrange for the Vessel to be drydocked at their
				expense for inspection by the Classification Society of the Vessel’s
				underwater parts below the deepest load line, the extent of the inspection

				drydocked pursuant to Clause 6 b) (ii) and no suitable dry-docking facilities
				are available at the port of delivery, the Sellers shall take the Vessel to a
				port where suitable drydocking facilities are available, whether within or
				outside the delivery range as per Clause 5 b). Once drydocking has taken place
				the Sellers shall deliver the Vessel at a port within the delivery range as per
				Clause 5 b) which shall, for the purpose of this Clause, become the new port of
				delivery. In such event the cancelling date provided for in Clause 5 b) shall

				steaming, but limited to a maximum of 14 running days.
			 

		  
	 	 
	
			 
				c)
			 

		  	
			 
				If the Vessel is drydocked pursuant to

				satisfaction of the Classification surveyor. If such survey is not required by
				the Classification Society, the Buyers shall have the right to require the
				tailshaft to be drawn and surveyed by the Classification Society, the extent of
				the survey being in accordance with the Classification Society’s rules for
				tailshaft survey and consistent with the current stage of the Vessel’s
				survey cycle. The Buyers shall declare whether they require the tailshaft to be
				drawn and surveryed not later than by the completion of the inspection by the
				Classification Society. The drawing and refitting of the tailshaft shall be
				arranged by the Sellers. Should any parts of the tailshaft system be condemned
				or found defective so as to affect the Vessel’s class, those parts shall
				be renewed or made good at the Seller’s expense to the satisfaction of the
				Classification Society without condition/recommendation*.

				survey of the tailshaft system shall be borne by the Buyers unless the
				Classification Society requires such survey to be carried out, in which case
				the Sellers shall pay these expenses. The Sellers shall also pay the expenses
				if the Buyers require the survey and parts of the system are condemned or found
				defective or broken so as to affect the Vessel’s class*.
			 

		  
	 	 
	 	
			 
				(iii)       the expenses in connection
				with putting the Vessel in and taking her out of drydock, including the drydock
				dues and the Classification Society’s fees shall be paid by the Sellers if
				the Classification Society issues any condition/recommendation* as a result of
				the survey or if it requires survey of the tailshaft system. In all other cases
				the Buyers shall pay the aforesaid expenses, dues and fees.
			 

		  
	 	 
	 	
			 
				(iv)       the Buyers’ representative
				shall have the right to be present in the drydock, but without interfering with
				the work or decisions of the Classification surveyor.
			 

		  
	 	 
	 	
			 
				(v)       the Buyers shall have the right
				to have the underwater parts of the Vessel cleaned and painted at their risk
				and expense without interfering with the Sellers’ or the Classification
				surveyor’s work, if any, and without affecting the Vessel’s timely
				delivery. If, however, the Buyers’ work in drydock is still in progress
				when the Sellers have completed the work which the Sellers are required to do,
				the additional docking time needed to complete the Buyers’ work shall be
				for the Buyers’ risk and expense. In the event that the Buyers’ work
				requires such additional time, the Sellers may upon completion of the
				Seller’s work tender Notice of Readiness for delivery whilst the Vessel is
				still in drydock and the Buyers shall be obliged to take delivery in accordance
				with Clause 3, whether the Vessel is in drydock or not and irrespective of
				Clause 5 b).

		sale in connection with, any distribution thereof.  The Sellers understand
		that the Purchased Securities have not been registered under the Securities Act

		copy all material documents related to the Buyers, including, but not
		limited to, the Buyers' Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws and to
		obtain any additional information that is necessary to verify the accuracy of
		the information the Sellers have received.  The foregoing, however,
		does not limit or modify the representations and warranties of the Buyers
		in this Agreement or the right of Sellers to rely thereon.
	 

	 
		20.2.3
	 

	 
		Experience.  Sellers have substantial experience in evaluating and
		investing in transactions of securities and Sellers acknowledge that
		they are capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in
		the Buyers and have the capacity to protect their own interests.
		 Sellers represent and warrant to the Buyers that they are aware that
		their acceptance and receipt of the Purchased Securities hereunder
		involves substantial risk and that their financial condition and investments
		are such that they are in a financial position to hold the Purchased Securities
		for an indefinite period of time and to bear the economic risk of a loss of
		such investment.
