	II.	The Sellers’ financing, insurance and supervision costs are for their own account. The Buyers are entitled to receive the liquidated damages required to be credited by the

under the Sellers’ construction finance, for the period of delay, plus any reasonable additional costs incurred for the newbuilding supervision during the delay period shall be deducted from such liquidated damages to be credited to the Buyers.
Such credit in respect of the liquidated damages shall be made by adjustment of the Purchase Price.

Building Contract.

accordance with Article III of the Building Contract.

  

	 	b)	Insofar as the Sellers are entitled under the Building Contract, at their option, to reject the Vessel and consequently rescind or cancel the Building Contract in accordance with
Article III of the Building Contract, the Sellers will without prejudice to Clause 18(II) of this Agreement accept the Vessel in accordance with the Building Contract if so instructed in writing by the Buyers, provided that the Sellers
have received clear and unconditional acceptance of the Vessel by the Buyers in writing. 

  

	 	c)	The Sellers shall notify the Buyers of their right to accept or reject the Vessel without undue delay. The Buyers have to make their decision of whether to accept or reject the

	 	d)	In case the Buyers elect to accept the Vessel by expressed acceptance as described above, then the related Instruction shall be deemed to constitute an obligation of the Buyers to

	V.	If the Sellers have the right to reject the Vessel and consequently rescind or cancel the Building Contract in accordance with Article III of the Building Contract and the
Buyers have instructed in writing the Sellers to reject the Vessel, the Sellers shall be free to accept the Vessel or to rescind or cancel the Building Contract. Should the Sellers in such case decide to accept the Vessel, the Buyers are not bound
to accept delivery of the Vessel under this Agreement. In such case this Agreement shall become null and void and the Sellers are not entitled to claim any compensation and/or any costs and expenses from the Buyers or vice versa and the amount of

does not exceed USD 100,000.00 (one hundred thousand United States Dollars); (iii) the Buyers’ representatives are duly advised/informed about such changes/ modifications and (iv) such changes or modifications do not affect the

 The Sellers shall give the Buyers copies of all notices and correspondence with or to the Builders
relating to the Vessel, her construction and trials. Changes involving any additional cost payable to the Builder or credit due to the Seller shall be respectively paid by or credited to the Buyers at the time of delivery of the Vessel under this
Agreement. 
  

	 	b)	The Buyers shall have the right to request the Sellers who will request from the Builders modifications, changes and/or extras in and to the Vessel in accordance with Article

compensation payable to the Builders with regard to each such change that is carried out, and subject to such request not having regard to the fact that the Buyers’ request may result in the Vessel’s Specifications deviating from the
specifications of the remainder of the series which the Builders are building for the Sellers. The Sellers acting in good faith shall not unreasonably withhold their co-operation to changes/modification which the Buyers consider necessary, provided
the Builders also accept such changes/modifications in accordance with their obligations under Article V of the Building Contract. Further, the Sellers will use their best endeavours to keep the additional cost at a reasonable level. The
Buyers shall pay the Sellers for such modifications, changes and/or actions at the time when due under Article V of the Building Contract or the Builder may require and such sums shall be reimbursed by the Sellers if this Agreement is
cancelled, rescinded or terminated. 

  

	 	c)	The Buyers shall pay the Builders, at the time of delivery of the Vessel, for any increase in the price payable by the Sellers to the Builders for the construction of the Vessel if

	 	d)	The Sellers shall provide the Buyers with one set of building drawings at the Buyers’ sole cost after drawing approval has taken place.
