	Stock-Settled Stock Appreciation Right
	The right to receive a payment in Brunswick Stock (as defined in the Plan) equal to the excess of the Stock’s Fair Market Value (as defined in the Plan) at exercise over the exercise price as established on the Grant Date attributable to the number of underlying Stock-Settled Stock Appreciation Rights (“Stock-Settled SARs”) granted.

By exercising Stock-Settled SARs, you agree to the terms and conditions of the grant.

	Exercise Price
	Closing price as reported on the New York Stock Exchange Composite Transactions Tape on the Grant Date.

	Grant Date
	___________, 2018

	Award
	____________ Stock-Settled SARs

	
		
	Vesting
	Stock-Settled SARs vest and become exercisable as follows:
* One-fourth of the Stock-Settled SARs granted on each of the first, second, third, and fourth anniversaries of the Grant Date, so long as employment by Brunswick or its designated affiliates continues on each such anniversary date;
* In the case of a termination of employment (other than for Cause (as defined below) or due to death or Permanent Disability (as defined below)) (i) prior to a Change in Control (as defined in the Plan) and (ii) on or after (A) the first anniversary of the Grant Date and (B) the date on which age plus years of continuous service from latest start date equals 70 or more or age is 62 or more (the “Rule of 70/Age 62”), vesting will continue on the normal vesting schedule described immediately above;
* In the case of a termination of employment (other than for Cause or due to death or Permanent Disability) (i) prior to (A) a Change in Control and (B) the first anniversary of the Grant Date, and (ii) on or after the date on which the Rule of 70/Age 62 has been attained, a pro-rata portion of the award will vest on each anniversary of the Grant Date pursuant to the normal vesting schedule described above.  For purposes of the foregoing sentence, a “pro-rata portion” will mean the product of (x) the number of shares underlying the Stock-Settled SAR award that would have vested on the applicable anniversary of the Grant Date pursuant to the normal vesting schedule and (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days that have elapsed since January 1 of the year of grant through the date of termination of the recipient’s employment, provided number does not exceed 365, and the denominator of which is 365.  All remaining shares will be forfeited;
* In the event of a Change in Control pursuant to which the award is effectively assumed or continued by the surviving or acquiring corporation and (i) the termination of the Grantee’s employment (other than for Cause or due to death or Permanent Disability) on or after the date on which the Grantee’s age plus years of service equals the Rule of 70/Age 62, or (ii) Brunswick terminates the Grantee’s employment without Cause or the Grantee resigns for Good Reason (as defined below), in each case, all of the award shall vest as of the date of such termination of employment;
* In the event of a Change in Control pursuant to which the award is not effectively assumed or continued by the surviving or acquiring corporation in such Change in Control, the award shall vest as of the date of the Change in Control; or
* The award shall vest on death or termination due to Permanent Disability.
* Determinations as to whether the award has been effectively assumed or continued by the surviving or acquiring corporation shall be made by the Human Resources and Compensation Committee, as constituted prior to the Change in Control. 

	
		
	Grant Term
	Vested Stock-Settled SARs will remain exercisable as follows:
* Until the termination of employment, if involuntarily terminated for Cause, including any termination for Cause of an employee who has attained the Rule of 70/Age 62, or
* Based on eligibility as of the last day employed, the latest of the following:
* 30 days after voluntary termination;
* One year after involuntary termination without Cause (for example, reductions-in-force or reorganization), or if your employer ceases to be a Subsidiary (as defined in the Plan) of Brunswick, unless the Committee provides otherwise;
* Two years after termination following a Change in Control;
* Five years after termination due to death or Permanent Disability; or
* Five years after termination of employment (other than for Cause or due to death or Permanent Disability), provided that such termination occurs on or after the date on which the Rule of 70/Age 62 provisions are achieved.
* But, in no event may your Stock-Settled SAR be exercised later than ten years from the Grant Date.

	Exercise Settlement-Payment / Tax Withholding
	On exercise, the number of shares of Brunswick Stock delivered will be determined as follows:

ŸThe difference between the Fair Market Value on date of exercise and the per share exercise price will be determined.
ŸThis difference will be multiplied by the number of Stock-Settled SARs being exercised to determine the total dollar gain.
ŸThe total dollar gain will be divided by the Fair Market Value on date of exercise.

If, upon exercise, you would be entitled to a fractional security, such fractional security shall be disregarded and the cash equivalent of such fractional security shall be applied to your tax withholding liability.  Should you elect to have the required tax withholding satisfied by delivery of shares, then the ultimate Stock delivered will be reduced by an amount necessary to accommodate the required tax withholding.
 
Tax withholding liability (to meet required FICA, federal, state, and local withholding) can be paid in any combination of the following:

* Reduction in shares delivered to accommodate the required minimum tax withholding, or
* Cash or check.

	
		
	Additional Terms and Conditions
	Grants are subject to the terms of the Plan.  To the extent any provision herein conflicts with the Plan, the Plan will govern.  The Committee administers the Plan.  The Committee may interpret the Plan and adopt, amend and rescind administrative guidelines and other rules as deemed appropriate.  Committee determinations are binding. 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in these terms and conditions, for purposes of applying the favorable Rule of 70/Age 62 vesting terms set forth herein to grants made to residents of the European Union, the Grantee shall be deemed to have satisfied the Rule of 70/Age 62 if, and only if, the Grantee has attained the retirement date specified in the retirement plan in which such Grantee participates. 

“Permanent Disability” means the inability, by reason of a medically determinable physical or mental impairment, to engage in any substantial gainful activity, which condition, in the opinion of a physician selected by the Committee, is expected to have a duration of not less than 120 days.

“Good Reason” shall have the meaning set forth in the employment agreement, if any, between the Grantee and Brunswick as in effect on the Grant Date, provided that if the Grantee is not a party to an employment agreement that contains such definition, then Good Reason means the occurrence of any of the following events without the Grantee’s express written consent: (a) a material breach by Brunswick of any provision of this Agreement; (b) Brunswick’s failure to pay any portion of Grantee’s compensation when due or to include Grantee in any bonus or incentive plan that applies to similarly situated employees of Brunswick; (c) Brunswick’s failure to provide, or continue to provide, Grantee with either the perquisites or employee health and welfare benefits (including, without limitation, life insurance, medical, dental, vision, long-term disability and similar benefits), generally provided to similarly situated employees of Brunswick; (d) a Reduction in Authority or Responsibility of the Grantee (as defined below); (e) a Reduction in Compensation (as defined below); and (f) a Business Relocation Beyond a Reasonable Commuting Distance (as defined below); provided, however, that the occurrence of any such condition shall not constitute Good Reason unless (x) the Grantee provides written notice to Brunswick of the existence of such condition not later than 60 days after the Grantee knows or reasonably should know of the existence of such condition, (y) Brunswick fails to remedy such condition within 30 days after receipt of such notice and (z) Grantee resigns due to the existence of such condition within 60 days after the expiration of the remedial period described in clause (y) hereof.

	
		
	Additional Terms and Conditions
	Whether a Reduction in Authority or Responsibility of the Grantee has occurred shall be determined in accordance with the criteria set forth below in the definition of Reduction in Authority or Responsibility; provided, however, that (A) a change in the Grantee’s reporting relationship to another employee who is within the same reporting level (as that term is used in Brunswick’s Delegation of Authority Policy or any successor policy); or (B) a reduction in the Grantee’s business unit’s budget or a reduction in the Grantee’s business unit’s head count or number of direct reports, by themselves, shall not constitute Good Reason.

“Reduction in Authority or Responsibility” shall mean the assignment to the Grantee of any duties that are materially inconsistent in any respect with the Grantee’s position (which may include status, offices, titles, and reporting requirements), authority, duties, or responsibilities as in effect immediately prior to such assignment.  It is intended by this definition that a Change in Control by itself, absent a Reduction in Authority or Responsibility as described above, will not constitute Good Reason.

“Reduction in Compensation” shall mean (i) a reduction in the Grantee’s total annual compensation (defined as the sum of the Grantee’s base salary and target annual bonus) for any calendar or fiscal year, as applicable, to an amount that is less than the Grantee’s total annual compensation in effect immediately prior to such reduction, (ii) the elimination of any Brunswick incentive compensation plan in which Grantee is a participant without the adoption of a substantially comparable replacement plan, or (iii) the failure to provide Grantee with equity compensation opportunities or long-term cash incentive compensation opportunities that have a value that is substantially comparable to the value of the equity compensation opportunities provided to the Grantee immediately prior to the Change in Control.

“Business Relocation Beyond a Reasonable Commuting Distance” shall mean that, as a result of either a relocation of Brunswick or a reassignment of the Grantee, a change occurs in the Grantee’s principal work location to a location that (i) is more than fifty (50) highway miles from the Grantee’s principal work location immediately prior to the relocation, and (ii) increases the Grantee’s commuting distance in highway mileage.

“Cause” shall mean willful misconduct in the performance of duties.

This award and any shares delivered pursuant to this award are subject to forfeiture, recovery by Brunswick or other action pursuant to any clawback or recoupment policy which Brunswick may adopt from time to time, including without limitation any such policy which Brunswick may be required to adopt under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and implementing rules and regulations thereunder, or as otherwise required by law.

The Plan may be amended, suspended or terminated at any time.  The Plan will be governed by the laws of the State of Illinois, without regard to the conflict of law provisions of any jurisdiction.

*    *    *    *    *

Nothing contained in these Terms and Conditions or the Plan constitutes or is intended to create a contract of continued employment.  Employment is at-will and may be terminated by either the employee or Brunswick (including affiliates) for any reason at any time.

    to offset any claim it may have, the Buyer may by paying the entire amount demanded by the Builder require the Builder to
    provide a bank guarantee or other security satisfactory to the Buyer for the disputed amount. The Builder cannot in such case
    refuse to deliver the Vessel. If the Builder does not wish to issue security for the disputed part of the claim, the Buyer

	ARTICLE
    IV	ADJUSTMENT
    OF CONTRACT PRICE – CANCELLATION BY THE BUYER

 

The
Contract Price shall be subject to adjustments, as hereinafter set forth, in any of the events set out in this Article IV (it
being understood by both parties that any reduction of Contract Price is by way of liquidated damages and not by way of penalty).
The liquidated damages payable by the Builder hereunder represent the sole and exclusive financial compensation payable to the
Buyer in respect of the breaches of the Contract to which they relate and the Builder shall not in any way be responsible or liable
to remedy or rectify such breaches or for any other loss or consequences by way of damages or otherwise as a consequence of any
of the matters hereinafter set forth in this Article IV.

 

The
Buyer’s rights to liquidated damages, by way of a reduction in the Contract Price, for each of the circumstances set forth
in this Article, are cumulative. If more than one circumstance applies, there shall be separate reductions for each, subject always
to the limit set out below.

 

Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Article, or elsewhere in the Contract, the Builder’s maximum total Financial Liability

including without limitation, a liability arising by breach of contract, arising by tort (including, without limitation, negligence
of any type), arising by breach of statutory duty, or arising by direct consequence of a contractual obligation or right, including
the credit of liquidated damages pursuant to this Article IV. The limitation of liability set out in this paragraph shall not
apply to the Builder’s obligation to rectify Defects pursuant to Section VII.4(d)(i) and (iii) and Article X of this Contract.

 

	1.	Delivery

 

	(a)	If
    the delivery of the Vessel is delayed beyond the Delivery Date, the Contract Price shall be reduced by deducting therefrom

Provided
the Buyer has not sent notice of cancellation as provided for in Article XII hereof within [*] of delay having elapsed after the
Delivery Date, the Builder may thereafter demand in writing that the Buyer shall make an election either to cancel the Contract,
or to consent to the acceptance of the delivery at a specific future date reasonably estimated by the Builder to be the date when
the Vessel will be ready for delivery; in which case the Buyer shall, within fifteen (15) days after such demand is received by
Buyer, notify the Builder of its choice it being understood that, if the Buyer elects not to cancel and the Vessel is not delivered
by such future date, the Buyer shall have the right to cancel the Contract. Should the Buyer fail to give such notification within
the said fifteen (15) days, the Buyer shall be deemed to have accepted the new date for delivery as proposed by the Builder. Buyer’s
acceptance (or deemed acceptance) of a later delivery date pursuant to this paragraph or paragraph (c) following shall be without
prejudice to Buyer’s rights to liquidated damages.

 

	(c)	If
    the total accumulated delay of non-Permissible Delay and of Force Majeure Delay, but excluding other Permissible Delay, amounts
    to [*] or more, then in such event the Buyer may cancel the Contract. The Builder may, at any time after expiry of the said
    [*] demand in writing that the Buyer shall make an election either to cancel the Contract or to consent to the acceptance
    of the delivery at a specific future date reasonably estimated by the Builder to be the date when the Vessel will be ready
    for delivery, in which case the Buyer shall, within fifteen (15) days after such demand is received by Buyer, notify the Builder
    of its choice; it being understood that, if the Buyer elects not to cancel and the Vessel is not delivered by such future
    date, the Buyer shall have the right to cancel the Contract. Should the Buyer fail to give such notification within the said
    15 days, the Buyer shall be deemed to have accepted the new date for delivery as proposed by the Builder.

    the speed as stipulated in Article II, clause 2 (as adjusted pursuant to Article II, clause 3 and/or Article VI as the case
    may be) is not achieved at the sea trial pursuant to Article VII and the specifications and this is not due to incorrect or

    Supplies, the Contract Price shall be reduced as follows:

 

	 	(i)	[*].

 

	 	(ii)	[*].

	 	(i)	for

As
soon as practical after the Date of Contract the Builder shall put forward a proposed detailed building schedule, including a
schedule for testing. The Buyer shall make its comment on the schedule as soon as practical and at the latest within seven (7)
days. The schedules shall be issued by the Builder in writing not later than thirty (30) days after the Date of Contract.

 

	(a)	In
    accordance with the construction schedule of the Vessel and provisions in the Specifications, the Builder shall submit to
    the Buyer the plans and drawings for its approval in pdf format for ease of transmission and sharing. Plans and drawings will
    be distributed through Synergi Project Exchange WEB-portal. The Buyer and its designated Representative(s) will receive a
    notification by e-mail for all plans and drawings distributed to the said WEB-portal. The Buyer shall within ten (10) Working
    Days after receipt of e-mail notification, set approval status or upload its comments (if any) for the relevant plans and
    drawings to the Synergi Project Exchange WEB-portal. Such comments shall be as complete as possible.

 

	(b)	If
    Buyer’s uploaded comments on the plans and drawings are unclear or unspecified, the Builder may, by e-mail notice to
    the Buyer, request a clarification, and failure by the Buyer or its Representative to respond to this request within three
    (3) Working Days of receipt of such notice shall entitle the Builder to place its own reasonable interpretation on such comments
    or amendments when implementing the same.

 

    	 	PAGE 18 

     

    

 

	(c)	If
    the Builder and the Buyer fail to agree whether such comments are of such a nature or extent as to constitute modification
    or change under Article VI hereof, the Builder shall nevertheless proceed with the construction based on the Buyer’s
    comments if so requested in writing by the Buyer. If it is established by mutual agreement or by arbitration as per Article
    XIX, that the Buyer’s uploaded comments, constitute a modification or change under Article VI, the Builder shall be
    entitled to an appropriate adjustment of the Contract Price, Delivery Date and/or the characteristics of the Vessel and Article
    VI, clause 1, first paragraph shall apply.

 

	(d)	In
    the event that the Buyer fails to set approval status or upload its comments (if any) for the relevant plans and drawings
    to the Synergi Project Exchange WEB-portal within the time limit specified in (a) above, the Builder shall through Synergi
    Project Exchange WEB-portal or by e-mail to the Buyer request approval status or comments (if any) within three (3) days,
    failing which the Builder shall have the right to consider such plans and drawings as approved by the Buyer.

 

	(e)	The
    Buyer’s approval or non-approval of drawings shall not affect any of the Builder’s obligations hereunder, including
    the Builder’s obligation to deliver the Vessel fully approved by the Regulatory Bodies, or the Builder’s responsibility
    under Article X hereof.

 

	2.	Appointment
    of Buyer’s Representative

 

The
Buyer shall send to and maintain at the Builder’s yard, at the Buyer’s own cost and expense, one or more representatives
at least one of which shall be duly authorised in writing by the Buyer (herein called the “Representative”) to act
on behalf of the Buyer in connection with approval of the plans and drawings, attendance to the tests and inspections relating
to the Vessel, its machinery, equipment and outfitting, and any other matters for which he is specifically authorised by the Buyer.
Any other limitation in the authorisation shall be specified in writing, and such authorisation shall be valid and binding upon
the Buyer until withdrawn in writing by notice from the Buyer to the Builder.

 

The
Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to have the Representative present at all times required for necessary approvals
to facilitate the construction of the Vessel in an effective manner.

 

	3.	Inspection
    by Representative

 

Builder
shall provide unimpeded access for the inspection of the Vessel, its machinery, equipment and outfittings (and to anywhere in
the Builder’s yard where there is work on or storage of items connected with construction of the Vessel) by the Classification
Society, Regulatory Bodies and the Representative and/or his assistants throughout the entire period of construction.

 

The
Representative and his assistants shall, during the construction of the Vessel, have the right to attend all tests, trials and
inspections undertaken in respect of the Vessel, its machinery, equipment and outfittings. The Builder shall give reasonable notice
in advance of any such tests and inspections to the Representative to enable him or any of his assistants to attend. Failure of
the Representative or his assistant(s) to be present at such tests and inspections after due notice to him as above provided shall
be deemed to be a waiver of his right to be present.

 

    	 	PAGE 19 

     

    

 

The
Builder shall provide the Representative and/or his assistants with a similar right of inspection and supervision in respect of
the work performed by the Subcontractor(s) of the construction of the hull of the Vessel, and the Builder shall make reasonable
efforts to cause its other Subcontractors to provide the Representative and/or his assistants with a similar right of inspection
and supervision in respect of the work performed by such Subcontractors.

 

In
the event that Buyer or the Representative on behalf of the Buyer discovers any design, construction or material or workmanship
which in its or his opinion does not conform to the requirements of the Contract (including the requirements for subcontracting),
Buyer, the Representative or his assistants shall as soon as possible advise the Builder of such non-conformity. Unless the Builder
agrees to rectify the matter, a notice thereof (which may be included in minutes of meeting or similar) shall be given to the
Builder.

 

Neither
any Inspection nor attendance of any test nor any failure to timely notify Builder of any defect or non-conformity shall relieve
the Builder’s obligation under the Contract or operate as a waiver of any objection to any design, construction, material
or workmanship considered (or later determined to be) non-conforming or not of the standard required for due performance of this
Contract.

 

	4.	Facilities

 

The
Builder at its own expense shall furnish the Representative and his assistant(s) with adequate office space, and such other reasonable
facilities according to the Builder’s practice at, or in the immediate vicinity of, the shipyard as may be necessary or
reasonably requested by Buyer to enable them to effectively carry out their duties.

 

	5.	Division
    of Liability

 

The
Representative and his assistant(s) shall at all times be deemed to be the employees of the Buyer and not of the Builder.

 

The
Builder, the Builder’s employees, Affiliates and Subcontractors shall be under no liability whatsoever to the Buyer, the
Representative or his assistant(s), or the Buyer’s employees, Affiliates and/or subcontractors, and the Buyer shall keep
the Builder, the Builder’s employees, Affiliates and Subcontractors harmless, for personal injuries, including death, suffered
during the time when he/she or they are on the Vessel, or within the premises of either the Builder or its Subcontractors or are
otherwise engaged in or about the construction of the Vessel, unless, however, such personal injuries, including death, were caused
by Gross Negligence of the Builder, or any of the Builder’s employees, Affiliates or Subcontractors. Nor shall the Builder,
the Builder’s employees, Affiliates and/or Subcontractors be under any liability whatsoever to the Buyer, the Representative
or his assistant(s), or the Buyer’s employees, Affiliates and/or subcontractors for damage to, or loss or destruction of
property of the Buyer or of the Representative or his assistant(s), or the Buyer’s employees, Affiliates and/or subcontractors
unless such damage, loss or destruction is caused by Gross Negligence of the Builder, or any of the Builder’s employees,
Affiliates or Subcontractors.

Buyer’s employees, Affiliates and/or subcontractors be under any liability whatsoever to the Builder, the Builder’s
employees, Affiliates or Subcontractors for damage to, or loss or destruction of property of the Builder, the Builder’s
employees, Affiliates and/or Subcontractors unless such damage, loss or destruction were caused by Gross Negligence of the Buyer,

	6.	Responsibility
    of Buyer

 

The
Buyer shall undertake and assure that the Representative and his assistant(s) shall carry out their duties hereunder in accordance
with normal shipbuilding practice and in such a way as to avoid any unnecessary increase in building cost, delay in the construction

The
Builder has the right to request the Buyer to replace the Representative or any of his assistant(s) who is deemed by the Builder
to be unsuitable and unsatisfactory for the proper progress of the Vessel’s construction. The Buyer shall investigate the
situation by sending its representative(s) to the Shipyard if necessary, and if the Buyer considers that such Builder’s
request is justified, the Buyer shall effect such replacement as soon as convenient.

 

	7.	Progress
    Reporting

 

The
Builder shall provide monthly progress reporting to the Buyer, which inter alia shall include reporting on progress, planned production
schedule, disclosure and exploration of any slippage in previously reported schedule, list of agreed/disputed changes, list of
agreed/disputed force majeure delays, etc.

	ARTICLE
    VI	MODIFICATIONS
    AND CHANGES

 

	1.	Modification
    of Specifications

 

The
work to be performed by the Builder under the Contract can be modified or changed by written request from S.V.P,        ,
unless another person is duly appointed in writing by the Buyer, provided that such modifications or changes will not adversely
affect the Builder’s other commitments, and provided further that the parties shall first agree to possible adjustment in
Contract Price, the Delivery Date and such other terms and conditions occasioned by or resulting from such modification or change.
Such agreement shall be effected either by way of exchange of letters duly signed by authorised representatives of the parties,
or by signed change order form, or by minutes of meeting or similar signed by authorised representatives of the parties, which
shall constitute the necessary amendments to the Contract. Any proposed increase or decrease in the Contract Price shall be calculated
in accordance with unit prices (inclusive of administration costs) or budget prices if such prices are available, otherwise as
per the Builder’s customary price for such work. Notwithstanding the foregoing (but subject always to the Builder’s
right to refuse modifications or changes which adversely affect the Builder’s other commitments), if Builder and Buyer do
not agree on the nature or extent of any such adjustments, Buyer may by written instruction require Builder to proceed with the
requested modification(s) or change(s) with the consequences of implementing such modification(s) and/or change(s) to be determined
pursuant to Article XIX.

 

Any
reasonable time and costs incurred by the Builder in preparation of offer(s) to the Buyer following a request for modification
or change as set out above, which is not effected by way of signed change order forms or similar, shall be compensated by the
Buyer.

 

The
Builder is entitled to make minor modifications or changes to the Specifications if found necessary or desirable due to the availability
of materials and equipment, the introduction of improvement methods or otherwise, provided that the Builder shall first obtain
the Buyer’s approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

 

	2.	Change
    in Rules and Regulations

 

If,
after the Date of Contract, there are any changes in the rules, regulations and requirements (or their application) of Class or
Regulatory Bodies, the following shall apply:

 

	(a)	Upon
    receipt of notice of such changes either party shall promptly notify the other party thereof. 

 

	(b)	If
    such change will be compulsory for the Vessel at the Contract Delivery Date, the Builder shall, unless the Buyer at its sole
    discretion seeks and obtains a waiver from the Classification Society or Regulatory Authorities (as appropriate), incorporate
    such alteration and/or change into the construction of the Vessel. The parties shall endeavour to agree on such adjustments
    to the Contract Price, Contract Delivery Date, changes in the Vessel’s characteristics or other changes in the Contract
    as set out in clause 1 above. If the parties fail to agree on the changes, the Builder shall proceed with the required changes
    and the matter shall be decided in accordance with Article XIX;

 

	(c)	If
    such change is not or will not be compulsory for the Vessel, but the Buyer nevertheless desires to incorporate such change,
    this shall be considered a change or modification, as provided for in clause 1 of this Article VI.

 

	3.	Substitution
    of Materials

 

If
any of the materials, machinery or equipment required by the Specifications or the Maker’s List or otherwise pursuant to
this Contract cannot be procured in time or are in short supply, the Builder may, in order to maintain the Delivery Date and subject
to the Buyer’s approval, which shall not unreasonably be withheld and which shall be provided without undue delay, supply
other materials, machinery or equipment of equal quality capable of meeting the requirements of the Classification Society or
Regulatory Bodies if not negatively affecting performance or functionality or the appearance of any public space. No extra charges
shall be made to the Buyer and, except that any savings shall be credited to the Buyer, the Contract shall remain unaltered.

	ARTICLE
    VII	TEST
    AND TRIALS

 

	1.	Notice

 

The
Builder shall before delivery, by not less than fifteen (15) days written notice to the Buyer, notify the time and place for the
sea trial for the Vessel. The Buyer shall have its Representative on board the Vessel to witness the sea trial. Failure by the
Representative to attend at the sea trial without any valid reason despite a notice to the Buyer as aforesaid, shall be deemed
to be a waiver by the Buyer of its right to be present. Buyer may also have others, including prospective crew, aboard for the
sea trial, which in total shall not exceed twelve (12) persons.

 

The
Builder may after due notice conduct the sea trial without the Representative of the Buyer being present, provided a representative
of the Classification Society is present, and in such case the Buyer shall be obligated to accept the results of the sea trial
on the basis of a certificate of the Builder confirmed by the Classification Society stating the results of the sea trial.

 

	2.	Weather
    Conditions

 

The
sea trial shall be carried out under weather conditions set out in the Specifications. Any delay in delivery caused by delay of
the sea trial due to unfavourable weather conditions shall be considered Permissible Delay, provided that in the event of a delay
so occasioned the sea trial shall be held on the first favourable day thereafter when conditions permit.

 

	3.	How
    conducted

 

The
sea trial shall be carried out in the presence of representatives from the Classification Society and/or Regulatory Bodies, and
shall be conducted in the manner described in the Specifications, and shall be sufficient in scope and duration to enable all
parties to verify and establish that all elements are functioning in accordance with the Contract.

 

All
expenses in connection with the sea trial shall be for the account of the Builder, including without limitation all necessary
crew.

 

	4.	Method
    of Acceptance or Rejection

 

	(a)	Upon
    completion of the sea trial and when the trial results are available, Builder shall promptly provide the results of the tests
    to Buyer in writing. If the Builder considers the results thereof demonstrates that the Vessel conforms with the Contract,
    the Builder shall promptly give the Buyer a written notice of completion stating when the Vessel is ready for delivery. This
    notice shall state where and when the vessel shall be available for delivery, which shall be at least fifteen (15) days after
    the notice is given (unless Buyer consents in writing to a shorter period). The Buyer shall within two (2) days after receipt
    of this notice (and the test results) notify the Builder in writing of its acceptance or rejection of the Vessel.

= CERTAIN CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS DOCUMENT, MARKED BY BRACKETS, HAS BEEN OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH
THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION.

 

	(b)	If
    the results of the sea trial demonstrate that the Vessel or any part or equipment thereof does not conform to the requirements
    of the Contract the Builder shall take all necessary steps to rectify such non-conformity. If necessary the Builder shall
    for its own account carry out further sea trial in accordance with this Article VII to ascertain that the Vessel complies
    with the terms of the Contract. Upon demonstration by the Builder that the deficiencies have been corrected, Builder shall
    give a notice thereof, with the results of such re-test in writing and of the readiness of the Vessel for delivery, to the
    Buyer, who shall then within two (2) days after receipt of such notice together with the new test results notify the Builder
    of its acceptance or rejection of the Vessel.

 

	(c)	If
    the Buyer for any reason rejects the Vessel, the Buyer shall state in which respects the Vessel does not confirm to the requirements
    of the Contract with sufficient specificity to allow the Builder to consider whether there is a non-conformity or not.

 

	(d)	If
    the non-conformity with the requirements of the Contract is of such a nature as to not materially interfere with the Vessel’s
    ability to operate in the luxury polar expedition cruise service, and the Builder is unable to rectify the matter within a
    reasonable time, the Builder may nevertheless require the Buyer to take delivery of the Vessel, provided that the Builder
    first:

 

	 	(i)	undertakes
    writing to remedy the deficiency or fulfil the requirement for its own cost and expense and as soon as possible,

 

	 	(ii)	agrees
    in writing to indemnify the Buyer for any direct and documented loss incurred as a consequence thereof, including loss of
    time, and

 

	 	(iii)	provides
    a work guarantee or other security reasonably acceptable to Buyer in an amount sufficient to cover the expected cost (if accomplished
    by a third party in its own facility) of such deficiency.

 

Whereupon
the Buyer shall accept delivery of the Vessel.

 

	(e)	The
    Builder’s liability in respect of (d) (ii) above shall be [*].

 

	(f)	If
    the Builder disputes the rejection by the Buyer, the case shall be submitted for final decision by arbitration in accordance
    with Article XIX hereof.

 

	 	(g)	Failure
    in responding to the notice given by Builder under (a) or (b) above shall be deemed as unconditional acceptance of the Vessel
    by the Buyer.

 

	5.	Effect
    of Acceptance

 

Acceptance
of the Vessel as provided above, shall be final and binding and shall preclude the Buyer from refusing formal delivery on basis
of any alleged deficiency in any part or parts of the Vessel which were tested during the sea trial, provided all other procedural
requirements for delivery have been met.

 

	6.	Disposition
    of Stores of consumable nature

 

Any
fuel oil, unused lubricating oil, grease, fresh water or other consumable stores furnished by the Builder for the sea trial, remaining
on board the Vessel at the time of Delivery and Acceptance shall be purchased by the Buyer from the Builder at the original net
purchase price thereof (Builder to provide supporting invoices and documentation/monitoring or certificate (if applicable) as
to quantities to Buyer establishing the total amount due). Payment thereof shall be effected by the Buyer together with payment
of the final instalment of the Contract Price.

	ARTICLE
    VIII	DELIVERY
    DATE AND DELIVERY

 

	1.	Time
    and Place

 

Subject
to the provisions of the following paragraphs, the Vessel shall be delivered at the Builder’s yard (see Article II) or in
the vicinity thereof free and clear of all liens, claims, mortgages and other encumbrances, on 21st January, 2020 (the
Contract Delivery Date), except that in the event of delays in the construction of the Vessel or any performance required under
the Contract due to causes which under the terms of the Contract permit postponement of the Delivery Date (Permissible Delay),
the Delivery Date shall be postponed as provided by Article IX, clause 4.

 

The
delivery range for the Vessel is not earlier than 18th November 2019 and not later than 21st January 2020
(the “Delivery Range”) but for all purposes in relation to this Contract the contractual Delivery Date by which the
Vessel shall be delivered shall be the date stated in this Article VIII Clause 1, first paragraph. Where the Builder considers
that it may be able to deliver the Vessel prior to the last date within the Delivery Range then the provisions of this clause
shall apply. By no later than 10th January 2019 the Builder shall make an assessment of whether it may be possible
for the Vessel to be delivered within the Delivery Range. If in its sole assessment the Builder concludes that it is possible
for the Vessel to be delivered prior to the last date within the Delivery Range then it shall give written notice to the Buyer
of the date by which the Vessel can be delivered (the “Revised Delivery Date”). At the same time the Builder shall
notify the Buyer of any additional price which the Builder estimates will be incurred in order to achieve the Revised Delivery
Date. The Builder’s notice shall include an offer to the Buyer to take delivery of the Vessel on the Revised Delivery Date
on terms that there is an adjustment in Contract Price for any such additional price related to the delivery of the Vessel on
the Revised Delivery Date and any other terms and conditions occasioned by or resulting from delivery of the Vessel on the Revised
Delivery Date. Buyer shall accept or reject such offer by notice to Builder within twenty (20) days of receipt, and if accepted
the change in the Delivery Date, the adjustment in the Contract Price and such other conforming adjustment to the terms and conditions
of this Contract shall become binding on the parties.

 

The
Buyer shall be obliged to take delivery of the Vessel before the Contract Delivery Date if validly tendered for delivery by the
Builder, but not before 20th November 2019, and provided that the Builder has given notice in writing to the Buyer
fifteen (15) days before such early delivery.

 

	2.	When
    and how effected

 

Upon
the Vessel and the documents identified in clause 3 following being ready for delivery in accordance with the Contract and subject
to the Builder having provided notice pursuant to Article VII, clause 4 (unless Buyer has validly rejected the Vessel and Article
VII, clause 4(d) has not become effective), the Builder shall tender notice to the Buyer that the Vessel is ready for delivery,
and the Buyer is obliged to accept delivery of the Vessel as then presented.

 

Provided
that the Buyer has fulfilled all of its obligations under the Contract, Delivery and Acceptance of the Vessel shall be effected
forthwith upon exchange and acceptance by the parties hereto of a Protocol of Delivery and Acceptance signed by each party acknowledging
delivery of the Vessel and the required documentation by the Builder and the acceptance thereof by the Buyer.

 

    	 	PAGE 25 

     

    

 

	3.	Documents

	(b)	Protocol
    of Inventory and Equipment of the Vessel, including spare parts and the like, all as specified in the Specifications.

	(e)	All
    Certificates including the Builder’s Certificate required to be furnished upon Delivery and Acceptance of
    the Vessel pursuant to the Contract and the Specifications. It is agreed that if, through no fault on the part of the Builder,
    the Classification Certificate and/or other required certificates are not available at the time of delivery, provisional certificates
    shall be accepted by the Buyer, provided that the Builder at its expense shall furnish the Buyer with final certificates as
    promptly as possible. All certificates with expiry dates shall be valid for a minimum period equal to the Guarantee Period.

 

	(f)	Declaration
    of Warranty by the Builder that the Vessel is free and clear of any liens, claims, charges, mortgages, taxes, fines, duties
    or other encumbrances or obligations of any nature whatsoever.

 

	(g)	Commercial
    invoice

 

	(h)	Acknowledgement
    of receipt of information about the Vessel’s stability

 

	(i)	Such
    other documents as may reasonably be required by Buyer for purposes of registering the Vessel.

 

	4.	Title
    and Risk

 

Title
to and risk of loss of or damage to the Vessel shall rest with the Builder until exchange of the Protocols of Delivery and Acceptance
is effected, immediately upon which title and risk shall pass to the Buyer.

 

	5.	Removal
    of Vessel

 

The
Buyer shall take possession of the Vessel immediately upon Delivery and Acceptance thereof, and shall remove the Vessel from the
premises of the Builder within five (5) days after the Delivery and Acceptance as aforesaid. If the Buyer does not remove the
Vessel within the said period, the Buyer shall pay reasonable mooring charges for the Vessel for up to seven (7) days and shall
thereafter compensate the Builder for all losses and expenses arising in addition to mooring charges.

	ARTICLE
    IX	DELAYS
    AND EXTENSION OF TIME FOR DELIVERY (PERMISSIBLE DELAY, FORCE MAJEURE)

 

	1.	Causes
    of Delay

 

	(a)	In
    case of Force Majeure Delay, the actual time lost by all such delays shall be Permissible Delay. A Force Majeure Delay shall
    occur if either the construction of the Vessel or any performance required as a prerequisite of Delivery and Acceptance of
    the Vessel is prevented or delayed as a consequence of:

 

Acts
of God; acts of princes and rulers; requirements of government authorities; war or warlike condition, blockade, revolution, insurrections,
mobilisation, civil commotion or riots, mobilisation; sabotage; strike or lockout (except a strike, lockout or other local labour
disturbances at the Builder’s yard and/or other facilities of the Builder), plague or other epidemics, pandemics, quarantines;
flood, typhoons, hurricanes, storms or other extraordinary weather conditions not included in normal planning; earthquakes, volcanic
eruptions, tidal waves, landslide; fires, explosions, collisions or stranding; embargoes; import or export bans or restrictions;
prolonged failure, or shortage or restriction of electrical current, oil or gas;

 

and/or:
any other extraordinary events beyond the control of the Builder;

 

and/or:
inability to obtain delivery or delay in delivery of materials, machinery or equipment by Subcontractor(s) where the cause of
delay would have been recognised as Force Majeure Delay under this Article IX if it had affected the Builder, provided that the
Builder has shown due diligence in its choice of Subcontractor, so that at the time of ordering same it could reasonably be expected
by the Builder to be delivered in time;

 

and/or:
delays in the Builder’s other commitments resulting from Force Majeure as herein described directly causing delay of the
Builder’s performance hereunder;

 

Provided
always:

 

that
there shall be no Force Majeure Delay if such delay could reasonably have been foreseen or anticipated by the Builder (or the
Subcontractor, if applicable) on the Date of Contract (or date of subcontract, if applicable, or that it could have been prevented
or overcome by the exercise of due diligence by the Builder (or Subcontractor, if applicable);

 

	(b)	The
    provisions under sub-clause (a) above apply whether or not the Force Majeure occurs after the Delivery Date.

 

	2.	Notice
    of delay

 

	(a)	Within
    ten (10) days after the Builder becomes aware of any cause of delay as aforesaid, on account of which the Builder will claim
    that it is entitled under the Contract to postpone the Delivery Date, the Builder shall notify the Buyer in writing or by
    e-mail, confirmed by registered mail, of the date such cause of delay commenced. Likewise, within ten (10) days after the
    Builder becomes aware of any such cause of delay ending, the Builder shall notify the Buyer in writing or by e-mail, confirmed
    by registered mail, of the date when such cause of delay ended.

 

    	 	PAGE 27 

     

    

 

Failure
by the Builder to timely give such notices as aforesaid shall prevent the Builder from claiming Force Majeure Delay on account
of such circumstances.

 

	(b)	The
    Builder shall notify the Buyer of the period of Permissible Delay arising by reason of such Force Majeure Delay, with all
    reasonable despatch after it has been determined. Failure by the Buyer to object to the Builder’s claim for Permissible
    Delay within ten (10) days after receipt by the Buyer of such notice shall be deemed to be a waiver by the Buyer of its right
    to object to the determination of the actual time lost by delay caused by the responsible event of Force Majeure.

 

	3.	Permissible
    Delay

 

Actual
Delays in the construction of the Vessel arising on account of (i) Force Majeure Delay; (ii) Article VI and Article XII, clause
2 hereof; (iii) any other non-fulfilment by the Buyer of the Buyer’s obligations hereunder; (iv) delays in the delivery
of Buyer’s Supplies; (v) late action by the Classification Society or other bodies whose documents are required; and/or
(vi) delays in deliveries from the interior designer (architect) shall constitute Permissible Delay.

 

	4.	Net
    Delay

 

All
events and circumstances giving rise to Permissible Delay shall be evaluated and re-evaluated from time to time during the construction
process to assess their actual net effect, taken together in the aggregate, on the construction schedule using a critical path
analysis (“Net Delay”). The Delivery Date shall be extended Working day for Working day for each day of Net Delay
for any actual time lost by delay caused thereby.

 

    	 	PAGE 28 

     

    

 

	ARTICLE
    X	WARRANTY
    OF QUALITY

 

	1.	Extent
    of Builder’s Responsibility

 

Save
as provided for in this Article, the Builder shall have no responsibility whatsoever for Defects or the consequences thereof (including,
without limitation, any direct or indirect loss of any type) that are discovered or occur after the Delivery and Acceptance of
the Vessel.

 

	2.	Guarantee

 

The
Builder undertakes to repair and rectify or replace at its own cost and expense and free of charge to the Buyer, any Defects (but
excluding any Buyer’s Supplies and/or defects or deficiencies caused thereby) discovered during the Guarantee Period, but
excluding defects arising after Delivery and Acceptance due to normal wear and tear or improper handling of the Vessel or caused
by improper use or maintenance of the Vessel on part of the Buyer, its servants or agents or by any other external effect after
the Delivery and Acceptance.

 

The
Builder’s liability as stated herein shall terminate in full if any Defects as aforesaid have not been discovered within
the Guarantee Period (of twelve (12) months or such other period as the Builder and the Buyer may agree in writing) unless otherwise
provided for in the Contract or otherwise agreed to in writing by Builder and Buyer and provided that any such Defects shall be
notified in writing to the Builder as soon as practicably possible but in any event no later than twenty-one (21) days after Buyer’s
discovery. Any notice hereunder must in any event be received by the Builder at the latest within twenty-one (21) days after expiry
of the Guarantee Period, and shall include particulars of the deficiency in such detail as can reasonably be expected and the
extent of the damage caused thereby (if any).

 

Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the deadline for giving notice of a Defect shall not apply to any Defects that could only be discovered on dry
docking the Vessel, in such case notice of such Defect(s) need not be tendered before the Vessel is in the dock, but must be tendered
before the Vessel leaves the dry-dock.

 

The
Guarantee Period will be extended in the following case:

 

From
the completion of performance of any repair or replacement under this Article X, there will, except as provided below in this
paragraph, be a further period of guarantee of twelve (12) months for the repaired items, but subject to an overall time-limit
of twenty-four (24) months counted from the Delivery Date. Such further period of guarantee shall, however, not reduce the Guarantee
Period below the original Guarantee Period for any such repaired or replaced item. Any additional guarantee period will be granted
on the remedial works undertaken by the Builder or its Subcontractors in the Guarantee Period. The Buyer shall, however, not be
entitled to any additional guarantee for defective repair work or defective replacement parts deficiencies not performed or provided
by the Builder or its Subcontractors.

 

Notwithstanding
anything here to the contrary, but subject always to the Builder’s written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld,
the Buyer may defer any repair or replacement of a Defect discovered during the Guarantee Period (provided timely notice thereof
was given to Builder as required herein) that would otherwise require an interruption to the Vessel’s operations to the
next schedule drydock period for the Vessel.

THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION.

 

	3.	Rectification
    of Defects

 

If
the Builder is liable for Defects as aforesaid, its obligations shall be as follows:

 

	(a)	The
    Builder shall make any necessary repairs or replacements to rectify the Defect, or cause the Defect to be rectified at its
    own cost, and, to the extent not covered by Buyer’s insurance, provided always that the Buyer is in full compliance
    with all covenants and warranties in such insurance policy when the Defect occurs, any damage to the Vessel’s part(s)
    that has been damaged as a direct and immediate consequence of such Defect without any intermediate cause, ; provided, however,
    that the amount of any damage to the Vessel subject to a deductible under the applicable Buyer insurance policy shall not
    be regarded as “covered” for purposes of this provision. The Builder shall in any event not be liable for any
    consequential damage as stated herein over and above [*]. The Builder shall have no other liability whatsoever for any damage
    or loss caused as a consequence of the Defect.

 

	(b)	The
    repairs, replacements and/or rectifications shall be made at the Builder’s yard.

 

However,
if it is impractical to bring the Vessel to the Builder’s yard or if the Builder cannot supply the necessary replacement
parts, material or labor without undue delay to the Vessel, the Buyer may, after having notified the Builder in writing, cause
the necessary repairs, replacements and/or rectifications to be carried out elsewhere. In such case, the Builder shall at its
own cost be entitled to forward necessary replacement parts or materials.

 

The
Builder’s liability shall in such case be limited to pay the cost of repairs and replacements including travelling and forwarding
expenses (unless such costs and/or expenses have been paid by Subcontractors), but always limited to the price of the work which
the Builder would normally charge at its yard as documented by Builder’s books and records. Upon such payment, the Builder
shall immediately be discharged from any further guarantee obligation in respect of – and to the extent of – any such
repairs or replacements performed by any other yard or supplier; provided that in the event operational necessities or a lack
of required parts or labor are such that the repair or replacement is of a temporary or partial nature, the Builder shall have
no responsibility for the quality of the parts or workmanship provided by such other yard or supplier but shall retain responsibility
to provide for the full repair, replacement or other rectification of the subject Defect (and subject to clause 3(a) above, any
attendant consequential damage).

 

    	 	PAGE 30 

     

    

 

In
any case, the Builder shall co-operate with the Buyer to find proper solutions to rectify any Defect subject to Builder’s
guarantee obligations under this Article X.

 

	(c)	The
    Vessel shall in any case be taken at the Buyer’s cost and expense to the place elected for guarantee work, ready for
    the necessary repairs, replacements and/or rectifications.

 

	(d)	The
    Builder shall have the ownership to all replaced parts. The Buyer shall return any such parts to the Builder at Builder’s
    request and at Builder’s expense.

 

	4.	Subcontractors’
    Guarantees

 

The
Builder shall - upon the Buyer’s request - assign to the Buyer any rights the Builder may have against any Subcontractors,
including any right to pursue any claim under the relevant subcontract. In the event of any such assignment, any liability the
Builder had to the Buyer in respect of the work, equipment or other subject matter of the relevant subcontract shall be released
to the extent of any recovery actually received by Buyer from such Subcontractor.

 

The
Builder shall endeavour to have provisions in the subcontracts whereby the Buyer may claim against the Subcontractor directly.

 

	5.	Extent
    of Builder’s Responsibility, Assignment

 

	(a)	Upon
    Delivery and Acceptance of the Vessel to the Buyer in accordance with the terms of the Contract, the Builder shall thereby
    and thereupon be released of all responsibility and liability whatsoever and howsoever arising under or by virtue of this
    Contract (save in respect of those obligations to the Buyer expressly provided for in this Article X and in Article VII(4)(d)),
    VIII(3), XIV, and XV) including without limitation, any responsibility or liability for defective workmanship, materials or
    equipment, design or in respect of any other defects whatsoever and any loss or damage resulting from any act, omission or
    default of the Builder, or for any losses, damages or expenses whether of a direct or indirect nature arising from any cause
    whatsoever including, without limitation, any direct or indirect loss of time, loss of use, loss of profit or earnings or
    demurrage, or any additional costs or expenses incurred by the Buyer.

 

	(b)	The
    guarantee provided in this Article and the obligations and the liabilities of the Builder hereunder are exclusive and in lieu
    of and the Buyer hereby waives all other remedies, warranties, guarantees or liabilities, express or implied, arising by Law
    or otherwise (including without limitation any obligations of the Builder with respect to fitness, merchantability and damages)
    or whether or not occasioned by the Builder’s negligence. This guarantee shall not be extended, altered or varied except
    as expressly provided in this Article X or by a written instrument signed by the duly authorized representatives of the Builder
    and the Buyer.

 

	(c)	If
    the Buyer sells the Vessel during the Guarantee Period and wishes to assign its rights hereunder, such assignment shall be
    subject to the Builder’s consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

 

    	 	PAGE 31 

     

    

 

	6.	Exclusion
    of Liability

 

	(a)	The
    Builder shall in no event be liable for nor required to indemnify the Buyer for any claim for damages from any third party

    be to assist Buyer and its crew to obtain the most efficient use of the Vessel and to identify and assist in planning and
    preparation for the rectification of Defects (or in rectifying such minor Defects as may be practicable). The Buyer shall
    accord the Guarantee Engineer board and treatment comparable to the Vessel’s Chief Engineer and reasonable accommodation
    based on availability of crew cabins, at no cost to the Builder. The Builder shall cover the salary and direct expenses of
    the Guarantee Engineer for the first six (6) months of the Guarantee Period, including the expenses of repatriation by air
    to the Guarantee Engineer’s home country. Thereafter, to the extent he is still serving aboard,, the Buyer shall pay
    to the Builder the same wages as an European Chief Engineer as compensation for part of the cost and charges to be borne by

	(b)	The
    Guarantee Engineer shall, at all times and in all respects, be deemed to be the employee of the Builder. The Buyer shall be
    under no liability whatsoever to the Builder or to the Guarantee Engineer for personal injuries, including death, suffered
    by the Guarantee Engineer during the time when he or she is on board the Vessel, unless such personal injuries, including
    death, were caused by Gross Negligence of the Buyer, or of any of its employees or agents. Nor shall the Buyer be under any
    liability whatsoever to the Guarantee Engineer for damage to or loss or destruction of property of the Guarantee Engineer,
    unless such damage, loss or destruction is caused by Gross Negligence of the Buyer, or of any of its employees or agents.
    The Guarantee Engineer shall if requested sign a Letter of Indemnity required by the Buyer.

 

	(c)	The
    Builder shall be under no liability whatsoever to the Buyer, or any of its employees or agents for personal injuries, including
    death or for damage to or loss or destruction of property of the Buyer, or of any of its employees or agents, caused by the
    Guarantee Engineer during the time when he or she is on board the Vessel unless such damage loss or destruction is caused
    by the Gross Negligence of the Guarantee Engineer. The presence on board of the Guarantee Engineer(s) shall in no way affect
    the rights and obligations of Builder and Buyer respectively as provided for in this Contract.

The
Builder may mortgage the Vessel and its materials (excluding Buyer’s Supplies if possible) as security for the construction
financing, including the provision of refund guarantee(s), for the Vessel and the Buyer shall if necessary give its consent for
that purpose. Any such mortgage shall be cancelled and deleted from the relevant registry at the latest on Delivery and Acceptance.

 

Any
materials, parts, machinery or equipment purchased by the Builder and appropriated for the Vessel which are not utilised for the
Vessel shall remain the property of the Builder after Delivery and Acceptance of the Vessel, unless identifiable as an item paid

	2.	Risk
    and Insurance

 

	(a)	Until
    Delivery and Acceptance, the Builder bears the risk of loss of or damage to the Vessel, materials, parts, machinery, boilers
    and equipment, excluding the Buyer’s Supplies.

 

	(b)	The
    Builder will arrange and pay for customary builders’ risk insurance for the Vessel by insurers reasonably acceptable
    to Buyer, and keep same in force throughout the construction process until Delivery and Acceptance. The insurance shall include
    necessary fire and transport insurance of materials and equipment which the Builder procures from Subcontractors. If requested
    by Buyer, the Builder shall arrange the coverage to include Buyer’s Supplies, with the increase in insurance of Buyer’s
    Supplies to be paid by the Buyer. 

 

The
insured amount shall as a minimum cover the aggregate of the instalments paid by the Buyer pursuant to Article III from time to
time together with interest thereon and, where the Builder is requested by the Buyer to so insure, for the value of any Buyer’s
Supplies.

 

By
paying extra insurance premiums the Buyer may require that the building insurance is increased to cover the rebuilding value at
any time.

 

The
Builder shall cause copies of the policy main terms to be provided to Buyer.

 

	(c)	(i)	The
    insurance policies shall be taken out in the name of the Builder and Buyer as their interests may appear, and shall include,

	 	(iii)	In
    the event of partial damage which is to be repaired and which is recoverable under the insurance policies, and provided that
    such damage shall not constitute a total loss of the Vessel, the Builder shall apply the proceeds recovered under the insurance
    policies to the repair of such damage satisfactory to the Class and Regulatory Bodies, and (subject to satisfaction of all
    requirements) the Buyer shall accept the Vessel under the Contract if completed and delivery duly tendered thereafter in compliance
    with the Contract.

 

	 	(iv)	If
    prior to its delivery the Vessel sustains such heavy damage that the Builder has no obligation to rebuild the Vessel, or if
    the parties and/or the insurance company agree that the damage to the Vessel constitutes a total / constructive / compromised
    total loss, then the Builder shall by mutual agreement between the parties hereto either:

 

	 	(a)	Proceed
    in accordance with the terms of the Contract, in which case the amount recovered under the insurance policies shall be applied
    to the reconstruction of the Vessel, provided that the Buyer and the Builder shall first agree in writing to such reasonable
    postponement of the Delivery Date and adjustment of other terms of the Contract as may be necessary for such reconstruction,
    or

 

	 	(b)	Refund
    immediately to the Buyer the amount of all instalments paid to the Builder under this Contract, and the cost of any Buyer’s
    Supplies insofar these are insured by the coverage procured by the Builder and destroyed, and return any other Buyer’s
    Supplies in “as is” condition whereupon this Contract shall be deemed to be cancelled and all rights and obligations
    of the parties hereunder shall terminate forthwith.

 

If
the parties are unable to agree within thirty (30) days as to option (a) or (b) above, then option (b) shall apply.

 

	 	(v)	Subject
    to the foregoing, the Builder shall for its own account insure the Vessel on terms that are normally used for insuring vessels
    under construction at Norwegian yards with coverage to be maintained until Delivery and Acceptance of the Vessel.

 

	 	(vi)	War
    risk insurance for the Vessel with accessories shall be taken out only at the request of the Buyer and for its account.

 

	3.	Waiver
    of subrogation

 

The
Buyer shall ensure that any insurances procured by or on behalf of the Buyer for the Vessel for coverage from and after Delivery
and Acceptance, shall include a waiver of subrogation against the Builder and the Builder’s Subcontractors, and the Buyer
shall document the same latest upon Delivery and Acceptance of the Vessel.

    Law

 

The
parties hereto agree that the validity and interpretation of the Contract and of each Article and part thereof and any non-contractual
obligations arising under or in relation hereto, shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with English law.

 

	2.	Arbitration

 

In
the event of any dispute between the parties hereto arising out of or relating to this Contract or any stipulation herein or with
respect thereto which cannot be settled by the parties themselves, such dispute shall be resolved by arbitration in London, England
in accordance with the Rules of the London Maritime Arbitrators Association (“LMAA”) and the following provisions:

 

	(a)	Either
    party may demand arbitration of any such disputes by giving written notice to the other party. Any demand for arbitration
    by either party hereto shall state the name of the arbitrator appointed by such party and shall also reasonably identify the
    dispute. Within fourteen (14) days after receipt of notice of such demand for arbitration, the other party shall in turn appoint
    a second arbitrator. The two arbitrators thus appointed shall thereupon select a third arbitrator, and the three arbitrators
    so named shall constitute the tribunal of arbitration (hereinafter called the “Arbitration Tribunal”) for the
    settlement of such dispute.

 

	(b)	In
    the event however, that said other party should fail to appoint a second arbitrator as aforesaid within fourteen (14) days
    following receipt of notice of demand of arbitration, it is agreed that such party shall thereby be deemed to have accepted
    and appointed as its own arbitrator the one already appointed by the party demanding arbitration, and the arbitration shall
    proceed forthwith before this sole arbitrator, who alone, in such event, shall constitute the Arbitration Tribunal. And in
    the further event that the two arbitrators appointed respectively by the parties hereto as aforesaid should be unable to reach
    agreement on the appointment of the third arbitrator within fourteen (14) days from the date on which the second arbitrator
    is appointed, either party or the said two arbitrators may apply to the President of the LMAA to appoint a third arbitrator.
    The award of the arbitration made by the sole arbitrator or by the majority of the three arbitrators as the case may be, unless
    appealed by either party, shall be final, conclusive and binding upon the parties hereto.

 

	(c)	All
    arbitrations shall be conducted in the English language.

 

	(d)	The
    arbitrator(s) shall determine which party shall bear the expenses of the arbitration or the proportion of such expenses which
    each party shall bear.

 

	(e)	Judgment
    on any award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

 

	3.	Technical Matters

 

Notwithstanding
clause 2, in the event of any dispute regarding the interpretation of a Specification, or the determination as to whether any
work performed or material provided for the construction of the Vessel conforms to the Specifications, Drawings, or other approved
plans or modifications, either party may by notice to the other cause the matter to be referred to DNV●GL, who is hereby
appointed as technical mediator and whose decision as to the matters referred to him shall not be binding on the parties but shall
be admissible in any subsequent proceeding. The costs of the technical mediator shall be borne by the parties in shares proportionate
to the outcome of the dispute, and in the event of the failure of a party to pay its share within thirty (30) days of invoice
the other party may advance the amount thereof to the technical mediator and in such event shall be entitled to recover in any
subsequent proceedings as liquidated damages an amount equal to double the amount so advanced.
