The Supplier alone is responsible for the design, manufacturing and quality of the Product, unless otherwise agreed and specified by the Parties in writing. 3.2. In case of doubt, the Buyer´s approval of drawings, specification and alike shall not limit the Supplier´s responsibility. Any instructions given to the Supplier by the Buyer for the performance of the Supplier’s obligations under the Contract do not relieve the Supplier of the full responsibility for the Product. 3.3. The Supplier shall in accordance with the Buyer’s instructions and free of charge provide the required manuals, instructions and technical documentation in English or in Finnish, as separately agreed, to permit the Buyer to carry out design, installation, commissioning, operation and maintenance of all parts of the Product. 3.4. The Supplier warrants that all Products will be manufactured and supplied in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations, including, but not limited to, environmental and product safety laws and regulations. 4. Manufacturing and Production Schedule, Inspection, Acceptance 4.1. The supply of Product shall be subject to inspection and tests by the Buyer, the possible Enduser and all agencies and authorities having jurisdiction at all times and places including the place of manufacture and installation. Such inspections and tests shall not in any way diminish, affect or impair the Supplier’s obligations and the fact that the Buyer is present or received a report of inspections and tests does not infer any form of acceptance of the Product by the Buyer nor limit the liability of the Supplier. 4.2. If specified in the Contract, an acceptance test shall be held before delivery takes place. Unless otherwise agreed, the acceptance test shall be held at the place of production and is only valid if a representative of the Buyer is present. Failure to meet the contractual requirements during the acceptance test shall not release the Supplier from its obligations to deliver the Product in accordance with the Contract. In such a situation, the cost for renewed acceptance test and any related additional costs shall be borne by the Supplier. 4.3. If the Buyer refrains from exercising its right of inspection or examination, or from attending an acceptance test, this shall not be interpreted to the detriment of the Buyer in any subsequent assessment of defects.

The Supplier shall, in accordance with the provisions of Sections 6.2 – 6.5 below, by replacement or repair, remedy any defects or non-conformities in the Product resulting from faulty design, materials, workmanship or installation (hereinafter “Defect(s)”). Therefore, the Supplier is responsible for all defects detected in his supply, including the application of the supply to the appropriate use. Where the Supplier is liable for a defect, the Supplier shall also be liable for damage to Product and equipment that have been damaged as a direct and immediate consequence of the defect. 6.2. The Supplier is obliged to remedy, at its own cost and risk, all above mentioned Defects by repairing or replacing the Product without undue delay after consulting the Buyer and subject to the Buyer’s instructions. The Supplier’s liability to remedy Defect(s) commences upon delivery of the Product and covers all Defects that arise within a period of two (2) years from the date the Product were put into final service by the Buyer or, as the case may be, the Enduser, or three (3) years from the date the Product were delivered to the Buyer, whichever period expires later. However, in any case the afore-mentioned liability shall not expire before the warranty period of the respective Vessel has expired. For the Product which are used for Buyer’s internal purposes (not for ship projects directly) the period is two (2) years from the date the Product were delivered to, and accepted by the Buyer. For parts which have been repaired or replaced under this Section 6.2, the Supplier shall have the same liability for Defects as for the original Product for a period of two (2) years from the date the Product were repaired or replaced. The liability period for the non-defective parts of the Product shall be extended by the period equal to the period during which they could not, in consequences of the said defectiveness, be put into the intended use. 6.3. The Supplier shall reimburse the Buyer all costs and expenses in connection with remedy of any Defects. Return of defective or non-confirming Product and transportation of replacement Product shall be at the Supplier´s cost and risk. 6.4. If the Supplier fails to fulfil his obligations under Section 6.2 within a reasonable time, the Buyer may give the Supplier a written notice of a final date for compliance with this obligation. If the Supplier fails to fulfil his obligations by this date, the Buyer shall be entitled, at its choice, to have the necessary remedial actions or have new parts made at the Supplier’s cost and risk and receive a compensation for all expenses and losses incurred by the Buyer. 6.5. The Supplier shall not be liable for defects which are solely caused by the Buyer or the Enduser or their agents or customers e.g. through incorrect installation, use or maintenance. 6.6. Notwithstanding this Section 6, faultiness of Works shall be evaluated according to Section 11 of these MT GPC. III SPECIFIC TERMS FOR PRODUCTION OF WORK 7. Working Instructions 7.1. The Supplier warrants that he has prior to the conclusion of the Contract reviewed and approved Meyer Turku Oy working instructions and accepts that all Works performed at the Shipyard and the Buyer’s area shall be done in their strict observance. 7.2.

The Buyer has a contractual relation only with the Supplier, who shall fulfil the obligations towards his employees, which in accordance with the legislation and the Contract are the employer’s responsibilities. The Supplier is responsible for his own and his personnel’s property as well as for insuring such property for the duration of the Contract. 8.2. The Supplier undertakes to apply, for his employees, the generally applicable collective labour agreement of his field and to ensure that his subcontractors, in turn, comply with their respective collective agreement. If there is no applicable collective agreement, the generally applicable collective agreement for employees within the Technology Industries will be observed, additionally taking into account the current labour laws of Finland. For the purposes of the Contract, the Supplier may not employ such persons from a country outside the EU that the Federation of Finnish Technology Industries defines as hired labour, except as stated in the provisions of the Act on Co-operation within Undertakings (334/2007). A list of the employees’ names must be submitted to the Buyer’s appointed representative at least five (5) working days prior to commencing the Works. The list is to state the names of the shop stewards including the person’s name who is responsible for the labour protection. 8.3. The Supplier must not, without the consent of the Buyer, subcontract or otherwise transfer the Works or other responsibilities to another supplier. The Supplier will remain liable for the Works of its subcontractors as for its own. The Buyer has the right to restrict or prevent the Supplier’s use of subcontractors or the use of a certain subcontractor. 9. Working Hours, Overtime, Waiting Hours, Travel and Daily Allowances and Other Possible Compensation 9.1. The Buyer’s working hours shall be observed at the Shipyard and as instructed in the Meyer Turku Oy Working Instructions. In case the Contract price is determined on the basis of completed hours, the Supplier is obliged to follow the same system of time control as applied by the Buyer to his own employees. In guarantee, repair and installation Works on board the Vessel, the working hours shall be applied so that there is no disturbance in the construction or operation of the Vessel. 9.2. The Works performed against hourly compensation shall mainly be carried out within the normal working hours as followed by the Buyer. The normal weekly working time is from Monday to Saturday. Overtime or Sunday work carried out under pressing circumstances shall be agreed on with the Buyer in advance and the Shipyard’s fire department shall be notified. Works shall not be carried out outside normal working time without such agreement and notification. The Supplier is also responsible for ensuring that his subcontractors do not work at the Shipyard outside normal working time without said agreement and notification. 9.3. For Works charged according to the number of working hours, the Supplier shall present the timecards signed weekly by the Buyer’s representative. Without the signed time cards, the Works in question shall not be compensated. 9.4. The total price agreed for the Works also includes overtime expenses as well as possible travel, daily and lodging allowances and other possible compensation. Possible waiting hours will not be compensated separately. Only overtime works carried out expressly at the Buyer’s written request (with pieceworks the percentage-wise parts) will be compensated to the amount agreed in the Contract. 10. Additional and Modification Works 10.1. When requested by the Buyer, the Supplier commits himself without additional charge to carry out changes to agreed Works that do not cause significant additional cost or postpone the delivery. 10.2. Additional and modification work will be compensated only when the workload alters essentially or the Supplier is obliged to undo work already done, due to reasons resulting from the Buyer’s actions. Before initiating modification or additional work, the content shall be agreed in writing with the Buyer’s representative. Without a written agreement signed in advance, the Supplier is not entitled to receive compensation from the Buyer for performed additional or modification work. Additional and modification work shall be invoiced with the final invoicing of the Works for the Contract in question. After this, the Buyer has no obligation to compensate said work. 11. Liability for Faultiness of Works 11.1. The Works included in the delivery shall be presented for the approval of the Buyer, the classification society and the Enduser’s inspectors. Before delivering the Works for inspection, the Supplier shall carry out a preliminary inspection to ensure that the quality and degree of work completion is such that it will obviously pass final inspection. The inspection shall be ordered and, in practice, carried out in accordance with the Buyer’s instructions. 11.2. The Supplier shall undertake to correct, at his own expense, any faults or deficiencies detected in the performance of his Works. In case the Supplier does not carry out the repair work rapidly enough, the Buyer has the right, at his own discretion, to do the repair work himself, or have it done by a third party and either charge the expenses to the Supplier or deduct the cost from the Contract price. To repair a found fault, the Buyer is entitled either to carry out the repair work himself or to have it done by an outside executor at the Supplier’s expense immediately after the fault has been spotted without consulting the Supplier, if these actions are necessary in order to prevent damage, or it is otherwise obviously necessary considering the project schedule of the Vessel. 11.3. The Supplier is responsible for all costs caused to the Buyer by the faults or defects mentioned above. 11.4. Liability for defective Product shall be evaluated according to Section 6 of these MT GPC. IV GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS 12. Permits 12.1.

If no delivery term has been agreed, the delivery shall be “DAP Shipbuilding Completion Oy Finland (Incoterms 2020)”. 13.3. Title to the Deliverables shall pass to the Buyer upon full payment or delivery of the Deliverables according to the agreed delivery term, whichever comes first. Delivery shall take place without any reservation of ownership and the transfer of ownership to the Buyer shall be free of any rights and claims of third Parties. 13.4. If the Buyer is responsible for the installation of the Product, the delivery shall be deemed to have taken place when the Product and the written instructions regarding its installation are delivered to the Buyer. If the Supplier is responsible for the installation of the Product, the delivery shall be deemed to have taken place when the installation is accepted by the Buyer. 13.5. In case there is a disagreement on whether the risk has been transferred to the Buyer, it is the Supplier’s responsibility to show that the delivery of the Deliverables has taken place, and the risk has been transferred to the Buyer. 13.6. The Shipyard or the Vessel shall not be used as a place of storage. In case the Product or machinery and equipment that are essential for the performance of the Works need to be stored at the Shipyard or on the Vessel, the Product shall be covered and the machinery and equipment shall be stored in accordance with the Buyer’s instructions for the aforesaid. 14. Time for Delivery, Delay 14.1. The delivery time for the Deliverables and partial deliveries is defined in the Contract. If no delivery time is defined in the Contract, the Supplier shall deliver the Deliverables as soon as possible. If, instead of a fixed date for delivery, the Parties have agreed on a period of time within which delivery shall take place, such period shall start to run when the Contract is concluded or the Order is placed. 14.2. The Buyer is entitled to change the original delivery time, in writing, as follows without a price increase: 14.2.1. Time for notification is twelve (12) weeks before the original delivery time in case of change to earlier delivery. 14.2.2.

Time for notification is three (3) weeks before the original delivery time in case of postponements. 14.4. If the Supplier finds that the Supplier will not be able to deliver the Deliverables at the agreed time or if delay seems likely, the Supplier shall without undue delay notify the Buyer thereof in writing, stating the reason for the delay and if possible, the time when delivery can be expected. If the Supplier fails to give such notice, the Supplier shall reimburse the Buyer for any additional costs and expenses, which the Buyer incurs. If the Buyer anticipates a delay in the supply of the Deliverables, the Buyer shall be entitled to request the Supplier to submit a plan for making up for the delay, and implement it in mutual understanding with the Buyer. 14.5. If it has been agreed that the Buyer´s approval, consent or other specific input is required for any particular matter and the Buyer fails to provide its input within the agreed time, other than due to the Supplier’s default, then the Supplier shall not be liable for the possible delay to the extent directly and solely caused by the Buyer’s failure to provide said input within the agreed time. The Supplier must immediately inform the Buyer’s representative about this in writing. Otherwise the Buyer may not accept such negligence as a reason for late delivery. 14.6. Notwithstanding Section 14.5, if the Supplier does not receive required technical information, drawings, charts or materials at the agreed time for reasons due to the Buyer and this negatively impacts to the Supplier’s ability to deliver the Deliverables within the agreed delivery time, the Supplier must without undue delay notify about this impact in writing to the Buyer. If the Supplier does not notify of this delay in said manner to the Buyer, the delay in the delivery of said information or material shall not relieve the Supplier from the liquidated damages or other compensation obligations stated in the Contract or in these MT GPC. 14.7. If the stipulated delivery date for the Deliverables, or documents pertaining thereto, is not met, and exception under the grounds stated in Section 17.1 cannot be invoked, the Buyer shall be entitled to liquidated damages calculated from the day the delivery should have taken place. The Supplier shall pay the liquidated damages also if an error in delivery causes a delay or break in the accepting or implementation of the delivery. The liquidated damages shall be payable at rate of two per cent (2%) of the total price of the Deliverables under the Contract for each commenced week that delivery is delayed. This Section 14.7 will be applied irrespective of whether the delay has caused financial loss to the Buyer. The Buyer is entitled to a higher compensation, if the Buyer can prove higher damages. 14.8. Delays in delivery due to Force Majeure as stated in Section 17.1 below, shall not release the Supplier from his duties to inform, communicate, and act pursuant to this Section 14. 14.9.

The last payment(s) are due to be paid on the condition that all deliveries included in the Deliverables (including drawings, manuals, instruction books, certificates, as-built drawings etc.) have taken place and the delivery is in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Contract. 15.6. In case the Supplier considers that certain circumstances allow the Supplier to claim for extra payments, such claims must be notified in writing in a detailed manner to the Buyer within 10 (ten) days after the said circumstances are known by the Supplier. 15.7.

Unless otherwise agreed by the Buyer, the Deliverables and all materials, machinery and other equipment or components belonging to the Deliverables shall, until risk has been transferred to the Buyer, be insured by the Supplier at the Supplier´s expense for the full value against all risks usually insured against in the European shipbuilding industry.

Whenever requested by the Buyer, the Supplier shall provide insurance cover notes which document that the insurance requirements are fulfilled. 17. Force Majeure 17.1. Unexpected events having the nature of Force Majeure, such as fires, earthquakes, floods and other acts of nature that are beyond the control of the Parties shall, if they direct impede the Buyer’s or the Supplier’s performance under the Contract, be considered as a cause for an exemption, provided that the Party wishing to be exempted because of any of the said circumstances notifies within three (3) days the other Party in writing of the intervention of such an event. The Supplier shall produce written evidence of the fact that an unexpected Force Majeure type event beyond the Supplier´s control has created a real obstacle to the Supplier, preventing the Supplier from completing the Deliverables. However, provided always that there shall be no Force Majeure if such delay could reasonably have been foreseen or anticipated by the Supplier on the date signing the Contract or placing the Order, or that it could have been prevented or overcome by the exercise of due diligence by the Supplier, his servants, employees or subcontractors. If the Supplier was overdue on his performance already before the occurrence of a Force Majeure, this will not affect the Supplier’s responsibilities. 17.2. Neither of the Parties shall be considered in breach of an obligation under the Contract to the extent the respective Party can prove that fulfilment of the obligation has been prevented by Force Majeure.

KG and their affiliates and to those third parties, such as subcontractors of the Buyer, who necessarily need the Data and Documentation in purposes relating to the design, construction or maintenance of the Vessel or its sister ships. 19.5. To the extent it is impossible for whatever reason to transfer and assign the rights referred to in Section 19.2 to the Buyer, the Supplier grants to the Buyer an unrestricted and fully paid up worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, transferable and sub-licensable right to use, modify, develop, distribute, create derivative works of and otherwise freely utilise the Data and Documentation. 19.6. For any technical or constructional innovation or new development made by the Supplier together with the Buyer in the course of designing, constructing, installing and/or commissioning of the Deliverables, patents, licences or the like can only be applied for by both the Buyer and the Supplier as separately agreed by the Parties. 19.7.
