  ADDITIONAL CLAUSES TO BARECON 2001

   

  CLAUSE 32 – CHARTER PERIOD

   

  
    	
            32.1

          	
            The period of this Charter (the “Charter Period”) shall, subject to the terms of this Charter, continue for a period of sixty (60) months starting from the Commencement
              Date.

          

  

   

  
    	
            32.2

          	
            Notwithstanding the fact that the Charter Period shall commence on the Commencement Date, this Charter shall be:

          

  

   

  	(a)	
          in full force and effect; and

        

   

  	(b)	
          valid, binding and enforceable against the parties hereto,

        

   

  with effect from the date hereof until the end of the Charter Period (subject to the terms of this Charter).

   

  CLAUSE 33 – CANCELLATION

   

  
    	
            33.1

          	
            If:

          

  

   

  	(a)	
          the Vessel is not delivered by the Charterers as sellers to the Owners as buyers under the MOA by the Cancelling Date (or such later date as the parties to the MOA may agree); or

        

   

  	(b)	
          the MOA expires, is cancelled, terminated, rescinded or suspended or otherwise ceases to remain in full force and effect for any reason (in whole or in part),

        

   

  then this Charter shall immediately terminate and be cancelled (without prejudice to Clause 57 (Indemnities) and without the need for either the Owners or the
    Charterers to take any action whatsoever), provided that the Owners shall be entitled to retain all fees and expenses paid by the Charterers pursuant to Clause 44 (Fees and Expenses) (and without prejudice to
    Clause 44 (Fees and Expenses) and any clause of the MOA, if such fees have not been paid, the Charterers shall forthwith pay such fees and expenses to the Owners in accordance with Clause 44 (Fees and Expenses)), save that if the Charter is terminated and/or the Vessel not delivered under the MOA for a reason solely related to a default of the Owners, then the Charterers shall not be obliged to pay the
    Arrangement Fee (and if the Arrangement Fee has already been paid at such time, the Owners shall refund the Arrangement Fee to the Charterers within a reasonable time). Any such payment by the Charterers under this Clause shall be irrevocable and
    unconditional and is acknowledged by the Charterers to be proportionate as to amount, having regard to the legitimate interest of the Owners, in protecting against the Owners’ risk of the Charterers failing to perform its obligations under this
    Charter. For the avoidance of doubt, the termination of the Charter shall not prejudice the operation of any provision of any Leasing Document which is expressed to survive the termination or cancellation of this Charter.

              Vessel:

          

  

  

  

  	(a)

              completed in time to allow redelivery of the Vessel within any time period required by this Clause 41 (Termination and Redelivery). Notwithstanding the above, should the Charterers fail to redeliver
              the Vessel within any time period required by this Clause 41 (Termination and Redelivery), the Charterers shall pay the daily equivalent to the rate of Charterhire plus five per cent. (5%) or to the
              then applicable BCI rate, whichever is the higher, for the number of days by which the Charter Period is exceeded.

  	(a)	
          save as required to comply with this Clause 42.1, the Charterers’ right to possess and operate the Vessel shall immediately cease and (without in any way affecting the Charterers’ obligation to pay the Charterer the Termination Sum and
            comply with its other obligations under this Charter) the Charterers shall hold the Vessel as gratuitous bailee only to the Owners, the Charterers shall procure that the master and crew follow the orders and directions of the Owners and the
            Charterers shall, upon the Owners’ request (at Owners’ sole discretion), be obliged to immediately (and at the Charterers’ own cost) redeliver the Vessel to the Owners at such ready and nearest safe port or location as the Owners may require
            and for the avoidance of doubt, any such redelivery shall not extinguish the Owners’ right to recover the Termination Sum from the Charterers under this Charter;

        

   

  	(b)	
          the Owners shall be entitled (at Owners’ sole discretion) to operate the Vessel as they may require and may create whatsoever interests thereon, including without limitation charterparties or any other form of employment contracts provided
            that the Earnings of the Vessel during such period less its operational expenses (the “Net Trading Proceeds”) shall be applied against the Termination Sum and any other amounts payable under the Leasing
            Documents pursuant to Clause 64 provided that if such use of the Vessel results in the Owners suffering a loss then such losses shall be included in the indemnities contained in Clause 57 and be added to the Termination Sum; and

        

   

  	(c)	
          the Owners shall be entitled (at Owners’ sole discretion) to immediately thereafter sell the Vessel to any person on such terms as they deem fit, subject to the right of the Charterers to have a period of 45 days from the Termination Date

            Purchaser subject to all of the following conditions being satisfied:

          the Nominated Purchaser is acceptable to the Owners (such acceptability not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); and

        

   

  	

        	(ii)

            unless the shortfall is paid by any Obligor or member of the Group on or before such sale,

        

   

  and any net sale proceeds (after deducting all fees, taxes, disbursements and any other documented costs and expenses incurred by the Owners in connection with such sale) (the “Net Sales Proceeds”) derived from any such sale to a Nominated Purchaser or any other person shall be applied towards reduction of the Termination Sum in accordance with Clause 64 (General

      Application of Proceeds). If the Net Sales Proceeds are not sufficient to settle the Termination Sum in full, the Charterers shall remain liable to pay the shortfall and default interest shall continue to accrue on the unpaid portion of the
    Termination Sum in accordance with Clause 37.5.

   

  
    	
            42.2

          	
            Notwithstanding Clause 42.1, the Owners may, by written notice to the Charterers at any time after the expiry of the Nomination Period, elect to retain the Vessel instead of selling the Vessel instead of
              selling the Vessel under Clause 42.1(c) above (with such option to elect to retain the Vessel to take effect from such date as they may nominate after the Termination Date (regardless of date of the notice)), and in doing so, the Owners shall
              first obtain the Fair Market Value of the Vessel (after deducting any commissions, taxes and costs which would be likely to be incurred in connection with a sale of the Vessel) and if the Fair Market Value (less such deductions) of the Vessel
              as at the date of such nomination is less than the Termination Sum as at such date, the Charterers shall immediately pay the difference to the Owners upon the Owners’ demand. If the Fair Market Value of the Vessel (subject to the aforesaid
              deductions) exceeds the Termination Sum as at such date, the Owners shall within twenty five days (of the date of the notice) pay the difference to the Charterers.

          

  

   

  CLAUSE 43 – TOTAL LOSS

            Throughout the Charter Period, the Charterer shall bear the full risk of any Total Loss of or any other damage to the Vessel howsoever arising. If the Vessel becomes a Total Loss after Delivery, the Charterer
              shall, subject to Clause 43.2, pay the Termination Sum to the Owners on the Total Loss Payment Date. Upon such receipt by the Owners of the Termination Sum, this Charter shall terminate (without prejudice to any provision of this Charter
              expressed to survive termination) but until such receipt, the Charterers shall remain liable to make all payments of Charterhire and all other amounts to the Owners under this Charter, notwithstanding that the Vessel has become a Total Loss.

            Any Total Loss Proceeds unconditionally received by the Owners (or the Owners’ Financiers in accordance with the terms of the relevant loss payable clause) shall be applied in accordance with Clause 64 and
              shall satisfy the obligation of the Charterers to pay the Termination Sum to the extent received by the Owners or the Owners’ Financiers in accordance with the terms of the relevant loss payable clause). The obligation of the Charterers to
              pay the Termination Sum shall remain unaffected and exist regardless of whether any of the insurers have agreed or refused to meet or has disputed in good faith, the claim for Total Loss.

            either a FATCA Deduction or any payment required in connection with that FATCA Deduction, the Charterers shall deliver to the Owners evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Owners that the FATCA Deduction has been made or (as applicable) any

    they make such a FATCA Deduction or otherwise compensate the recipient for that FATCA Deduction.

              free and clear of any tax deduction or withholding for or on account of any tax payable under any law of its Original Jurisdiction except a tax deduction or withholding which the Guarantor is required by such

      If the Guarantor is required by law to make a tax deduction then the Guarantor shall increase the payment due from them to the Owners to an amount which (after making any
        tax deduction) leaves an amount equal to the payment which would have been due if no tax deduction had been required.

              The Guarantor shall fully indemnify the Owner within three (3) Business Days of the Owner’s demand in respect of all documented claims, expenses, liabilities and losses incurred by the Owner by reason of any
                failure of the Guarantor to make any tax deduction or by reason of any increased payment not being made on the due date for such payment in accordance with Clause 6.2 (Grossing up for taxes).

            

       

      	(b)	
              Within thirty (30) days after making tax deduction, the Guarantor shall deliver to the Owner any receipts, certificates or other documentary evidence satisfactory to the Owner that the tax had been paid to

      Any amount due under this Guarantee shall carry interest after the date on which the Owner demands payment of it from the Guarantor until it is actually paid, unless
        interest on that same amount also accrues under the relevant Leasing Document.

       

      	7.2	
              Calculation of interest

            

       

      Interest under this Guarantee shall be calculated and accrue at the rate described in clause 37.5 of the Bareboat Charter and otherwise in
        accordance with the terms thereof. For the avoidance of doubt, it is confirmed that this Guarantee covers all interest payable under the relevant Leasing Document.

      The Owner may, for the purpose of claiming or proving in an insolvency of any Obligor, place any sum received or recovered under or by virtue of this Guarantee on a separate

                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 16 (Governing Law and Enforcement). The arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the London
                Maritime Arbitrators Association (LMAA) Terms current at the time when the arbitration proceedings are commenced.

            

       

      	16.3	
              The seat of the arbitration shall be London, England, even where any hearing takes place outside England.

            

       

      	16.4	
              The reference shall be to three (3) arbitrators. A party wishing to refer a Dispute to arbitration shall appoint its arbitrator and send notice of such appointment in writing to the other party requiring the
                other party to appoint its own arbitrator within fourteen (14) calendar days of the date that the notice is delivered to the other party and stating that it will appoint its arbitrator as sole arbitrator unless the other party appoints its
                own arbitrator and gives notice that it has done so within the fourteen (14) days specified. If the other party does not appoint its own arbitrator and give notice that it has done so within the fourteen (14) days specified, the party
                referring a Dispute to arbitration may, without the requirement of any further prior 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 the parties agreeing in writing to vary these provisions to provide for the appointment of a sole arbitrator.

            

       

      	16.5	
              Nothing herein shall prevent the parties agreeing in writing to vary these provisions to provide for the appointment of a sole arbitrator.

            

       

      	16.6	
              Where the reference is to three arbitrators the procedure for making appointments shall be in accordance with the procedure for full arbitration stated above.

            

       

      	16.7	
              In cases where neither the claim nor any counterclaim exceeds the sum of US$100,000 (or such other sum as the parties may agree) the arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the LMAA Small Claims
                Procedure current at the time when the arbitration proceedings are commenced.

            

       

      	16.8	
              The language of the arbitration shall be English.
