	Owner further undertakes, subject to the provisions of this Clause 27(b) and subject to a seven (7) day start-up period (“Start Up Period”), that the Regasification Components will, throughout the Term, enable the Vessel’s cargo to be regasified and discharged at not less than a regasified LNG discharge rate ***** MMScf/day (“Normal Performance”). Charterer will provide not less than ***** days prior notice to Owner if Charterer requires the Vessel to operate in FSRU Mode (such notice period not to commence any earlier than the date of delivery of the Vessel under the Project Agreement) in order that the Vessel may commence operating in FSRU Mode at the end of such ***** day period. The Parties will use reasonable endeavours to develop and agree a commissioning procedure in respect of the Start Up Period no later than ***** days prior to the Vessel being required to operate in FSRU Mode, including final testing and commissioning of the Modification Work. Furthermore, if during the Start Up Period, the Owner is prevented from adhering to the commissioning procedure for reasons not directly attributable either to the acts or omissions of the Owner or to the Vessel, the Start Up Period shall be automatically extended for the period of time that the Owner is prevented from adhering to the commissioning procedure.  For the avoidance of doubt, any delays in Owner adhering to the commissioning procedure which arise due to COVID 19 travel restrictions to or within China shall not be considered reasons attributable to Owner or the Vessel, provided that Owner shall use all reasonable endeavours to mitigate any adverse effects of any such travel restrictions.

​

SPECIFIC TERMS IN THIS EXHIBIT HAVE BEEN REDACTED BECAUSE THEY ARE BOTH (I) NOT MATERIAL AND (II) WOULD BE COMPETITIVELY HARMFUL IF PUBLICLY DISCLOSED, AND THE TERMS HAVE BEEN MARKED AT THE APPROPRIATE PLACE WITH FIVE ASTERISKS (*****).

In every case where the Actual Discharge Rate is higher than the then-current Normal Performance during regasification of LNG and has been in operation for three (3) periods of at least eight (8) hours without any unplanned shut down so that total operating time accumulates to twenty four (24) hours , the value of such Actual Discharge Rate shall immediately replace the then-current Normal Performance until subsequently re-adjusted up to a maximum Normal Performance of ***** MMScf/day. Each such increase in the Normal Performance shall be formalized by signature by both Parties of the Discharge Performance Certificate attached as Schedule 3 to Amendment No. 7.
		(ii)
	Subject always to the provisions of Clause 27(b)(iii) below, Owner shall, subject to applicable terms of the FSRU Gas Nomination Procedures, deliver the Nominated Discharge Rate in accordance with the daily curve agreed with Charterer in accordance with the FSRU Gas Nomination Procedures (“Send Out Profile”), subject to such Send-Out Profile for that FSRU Gas Day being agreed no later than twelve (12) hours before the commencement of the relevant FSRU Gas Day.  In case the Owner fails to deliver gas in accordance with the Send Out Profile as required pursuant to the applicable terms of the FSRU Gas Nomination Procedures, then the applicable terms of the FSRU Gas Nomination Procedures will apply to such failure (provided always that such terms are fair, reasonable and proportionate to the failure). Owner shall use reasonable endeavors to accommodate any change to the Send Out Profile requested by Charterer, during the relevant FSRU Gas Day (“Intraday Nomination”), but Owner shall not be liable for any failure in this respect.

		(iii)
	Whenever Charterer requests a Nominated Discharge Rate above Normal Performance, Owner shall use reasonable endeavors to make such higher rate available, subject always to the maximum capacity of the Regasification Components when all three units of the Regasification Components are operating. Notwithstanding the provisions of the immediately following paragraph, if the Vessel is incapable of discharging its cargo at such higher rate, such performance shall not be considered Reduced Performance and Charterer shall not be entitled to pay hire at a rate equal to the Reduced Rate or claim a reduction in hire.

If, on any day, commencing from 10.00 A.M. (China local time) on that day and ending at 09.59 A.M. (China local time) on the immediately following day (an “FSRU Gas Day”), the Vessel’s actual discharge rate calculated over that FSRU Gas Day as measured in accordance with Clause 27(b)(iv)-(v) (the “Actual Discharge Rate”), is less than the daily nominated discharge rate

requested by Charterer in accordance with the FSRU Gas Nomination Procedures for that FSRU Gas Day (the “Nominated Discharge Rate”), and such Actual Discharge Rate is lower than Normal Performance (such deficient performance hereinafter being referred to as “Reduced Performance”), then a Hire Rate equal to a reduced rate determined by multiplying the Fixed Element of the Hire Rate by a factor calculated by dividing the Actual Discharge Rate by ***** (the “Reduced Rate”) shall be payable for each of such FSRU Gas Day in respect of which an Actual Discharge Rate lower than the Nominated Discharge Rate and the Normal Performance has been determined during the FSRU Discharge Period in question. This Reduced Rate in case of Reduced Performance shall replace in its entirety Paragraph 4 of Schedule III. For the avoidance of doubt, any reduction of hire to which Charterer is entitled under this Clause 27(b)(iii) shall be credited against hire payments in accordance with Clause 12(a) as promptly as possible.
		(iv) 
	If no discharge of regasified LNG is ongoing from the Vessel, measurement of the Actual Discharge Rate shall commence when the vaporizers, piping and pressurizing risers are cooled down and the last high pressure pump required to achieve the ordered discharge rate is placed on line and the Vessel starts the discharge of Regasified LNG, and shall terminate when the first high pressure pump is secured near the end of the discharge (“FSRU Discharge Period”).

Prior to the commencement of an FSRU Discharge Period a notification of FSRU Readiness to Discharge Gas (as defined in the FSRU Gas Nomination Procedures) shall be delivered by Charterer to Owner in accordance with the FSRU Gas Nomination Procedures  and an FSRU Discharge Period shall start no later than ***** hours after Owner’s receipt of the above notification, unless such time is extended by reasons attributable to Charterer, Project Sub-Charterer, the FSRU Terminal, governmental or regulatory authorities or Force Majeure (as defined in the FSRU Gas Nomination Procedures).
The Actual Discharge Rate shall be the rate of regasified LNG discharged as measured by the Vessel’s metering station. When measuring the Actual Discharge Rate against Normal Performance a variation of ***** percent (*****%) shall be allowed.
Normal Performance shall be based upon LNG with a chemical composition (Mass%) as follows:

SCHEDULE 2
GAS NOMINATION PROCEDURES
Introduction:  This Schedule 2 outlines the principles governing Charterer’s and Owner’s notifications and nominations of gas dispatch volumes from the Vessel to the Downstream Systems, as may be amended from time to time to be consistent with industry practice (hereinafter the “Gas Nomination Procedures”).
“Commercial Operations” shall mean representative(s) of Project Sub-Charterer responsible for the overall management and scheduling of the nominated dispatch volumes on the Downstream Systems and related procedures as outlined in, but not limited to, this Schedule 2.
	1.
	Rolling 1-month and 1.-week nomination protocols:

A rolling 1-month nomination protocol and 1-week nomination protocol shall be established and updated weekly as a tool to plan FSRU and LNG storage operations and maintenance planning. These nomination protocols will be suspended in the event that the Vessel leaves berth due to the order of the master of the Vessel to ensure that the safety of the ship or the environment is not compromised or due to the orders of the Charterer.  For the avoidance of doubt, the 1-month nomination protocol and 1-week nomination protocol shall be for Owner’s reference only.
	2.
	Actions on arrival:

For the Vessel’s first arrival at Delivery, or the Vessel’s return to the FSRU Terminal berth either while operating in LNG Carrier Mode or as a result of an interruption to FSRU operations the following actions shall be undertaken:
	(a)
	Within ***** hours’ of the master and the Charterer’s designated representative(s) (“Charterer’s Representative(s)”) receiving notice from the Project Sub-Charterer to transit to the FSRU Terminal, the master of the Vessel will consult and send to Commercial Operations (copying in Charterer’s Representative(s)) in writing either (i) Notice of Arrival (“NOA”) or (ii) an indication of the ***** hour Expected Time of Arrival (“ETA”) at the FSRU Terminal and in each case, the expected time of notification of “Readiness to Receive LNG” and/or “Readiness to Discharge Gas” and/or “Readiness to Discharge LNG”.

	(b)
	Commercial Operations will, within ***** hours of receiving the NOA from the arriving Vessel, respond in writing to the master of the Vessel copying in the Charterer’s Representative(s) providing the expected discharge profile for the following 1-month and 1- week nomination protocols.

	(c)
	The master of the Vessel will, within ***** hours of receiving Commercial Operations’ notification under paragraph 2(b) of this Schedule 2 notify in writing Commercial Operations and Charterer’s Representative(s) of the Vessel’s readiness to make available LNG for discharge or to load a cargo or vaporization capacity to meet the expected unloading or loading quantity or discharge profile, taking into account any time needed to connect the Vessel to the

FSRU Terminal, conduct all necessary ESD connections and tests, pressure and leak tests, cooling down of regasification plant if applicable, gas up the line to required pressure, ramp up to send out level required if applicable unless such time is extended by reasons attributable to Project Sub-Charterer, the FSRU Terminal, tugs, governmental or regulatory authorities, or Force Majeure..
	3.
	Updated notifications:

	(a)
	Concurrent with any ***** hour ETA notice or NOA pursuant to paragraph 2(a) above, the master of the Vessel shall notify in writing Commercial Operations, copying in the Charterer’s Representative(s), in hard copy and electronic form, of the expected time of “Readiness to Discharge Gas”, “Readiness to Receive LNG”, or “Readiness to Discharge LNG” (“***** Hour Notice”) and of the Vessel’s vaporization capability for the impending offloading (with such confirmation not affecting performance requirements under the Charter).

	(b)
	Commercial Operations shall, within ***** hours of receiving the ***** Hour Notice, provide in hard copy and electronic form to the master and the Charterer’s Representative(s) the expected discharge profile for the impending 1-month and 1-week nomination protocols.

	(c)
	The master of the Vessel shall provide written notice to the port authority of its arrival at the FSRU Terminal, where “arrival” shall mean the time when the Vessel is at the FSRU Terminal’s anchorage or waiting zone and waiting to be cleared by the port authority (having submitted a request for clearance) to approach the FSRU Terminal to moor to the berth, connect to the Upstream facilities and Downstream Systems and prepare to discharge gas.

	4.
	Readiness to Receive LNG:

Subsequent to receiving port clearance notification, a hard and electronic format notice of “Readiness to Discharge Gas”, “Readiness to Receive LNG”, or “Readiness to Discharge LNG” shall be given (or if not given, then deemed given) by the master of the Vessel to the Charterer’s Representative(s) and Commercial Operations upon the earliest occurrence of the following conditions:
	(a)
	The Vessel is moored, connected to LNG/HP arms at the FSRU Terminal and is ready in all respects to receive LNG or discharge gas or LNG; or

	(b)
	The Vessel has received clearance to enter port and ***** hours have passed since such notice was given, unless such time is extended by reasons attributable to Commercial Operations, the port authorities, governmental or regulatory authorities, or Force Majeure.

For purposes of this Schedule 2, “Force Majeure” means any act or event that prevents or delays a Party’s performance of its contractual obligations if and to the extent:  (a) such act or event, whether foreseeable or unforeseeable, is beyond the affected Party’s reasonable control and is not the result of the affected Party’s fault or negligence; and (b) the affected Party has been unable to overcome the consequences of such act or event by the exercise

and Owner’s FSRU Representative each day in advance;
		(v)
	include the principle that the start of ramp up or ramp down to achieve the Nominated Discharge Rate for a Gas Day X shall start at the beginning of Gas Day X in the event the Nominated Discharge Rate for Gas Day X-1 is different from the Nominated Discharge Rate for Gas Day X regardless of the metering tolerance.

	(d)
	Owner shall have the right to adjust the intra-day send-out rate by plus or minus *****percent (*****%) or ***** mmscfd (whichever is the greater) for operational reasons (the “Operational Tolerance”).  Provided that the Nominated Discharge Rate is within the agreed parameters, and subject to any adjustment under this paragraph 5(d) or under paragraph 5(e) of this Schedule 2 to the intraday send-out rate, Owner will dispatch gas volumes on each Gas Day in accordance with the agreed Nominated Discharge Rate (after the application of any Operational Tolerance) ;

	(e)
	After the occurrence of an event that reduces gas send out, Owner shall have the right to adjust the gas send out by no more than *****percent (*****%) over the balance of the Gas Day to meet the Nominated Discharge Rate.  Charterer shall not unreasonably refuse to adjust the actual gas send out requested by the Owner.

	(f)
	Charterer shall have the right to request an “Intraday Nomination” being any change to the agreed daily Nominated Discharge Rate(s) and corresponding Daily Discharge Curve, and requested later than ***** hours before the start of the Gas Day and including changes requested during a Gas Day.

	(c)
	Always excluding ramp up/down period, it is understood and agreed between Charterer and Owner that the characteristics of the regasification plant onboard the Vessel will at all times have ongoing self-adjustments causing the actual send-out rate to fluctuate above and below the set value for the send-out with the aim of delivering as close to required send-out as possible.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the actual send-out being within ***** per cent (*****%) above/or below the agreed send-out profile shall at no time be considered underperformance by the Charterer.

	7.
	Interruption of accepted Nominated Discharge Rate:

In the event that the discharge operations are interrupted or reduced for a material period for any reason attributable to the actions of the Owner, the master of the Vessel, or Commercial Operations, if any Party becomes aware of such interruption or reduction shall notify the other Party in writing of all relevant information including:
		(i)
	the aggregate impact on the discharge of gas for the relevant Gas Day;

		(ii)
	the nature of the interruption or reduction detailing, if available, the cause of the interruption; and
