(i)Lessee shall exercise the Pre-Delivery Cargo Option at the latest ***** months prior to the Delivery Due Date; and

 

(ii)Owner shall not be required to load a cargo of LNG from any loading point in respect of which, having used reasonable endeavours, it has been unable to obtain all necessary approvals.

 

(b)If Lessee has exercised the Pre-Delivery Cargo Option, Owner shall notify Lessee in writing as early as reasonably possible of the location from which the Vessel would commence its voyage to the loading point directed by Lessee (the "Vessel Starting Point"). On this basis, Owner shall provide Lessee with an estimated price range for the Pre-Delivery Cargo Option, based on: (i) Owner's good faith estimate of the additional number of days (or part thereof) required for the Vessel to travel from Vessel Starting Point, via the loading point directed by Lessee, to the Place of Delivery (including time at the loading point), as compared to the time required for the Vessel to travel from the Vessel Starting Point directly to the Place of Delivery (such additional number of days being the "Pre-Delivery Voyage Time"), multiplied by the Rate; plus (ii) the Pre-Delivery Voyage Time multiplied by the Daily Fee; plus (iii) Voyage Expenses. Such estimated price range shall be subject to change only as necessary to reflect additional Pre-Delivery Voyage Time (not attributable to Owner, Contractor or Owner's or Contractor's Affiliates, contractors, servants and subcontractors) and applicable Voyage Expenses. Lessee shall have ***** days from the date of receipt of such notice from Owner to elect whether to proceed with the Pre-Delivery Cargo Option or to cancel the Pre-Delivery Cargo Option.

 

(c)Lessee may at any time prior to notification by Owner of the Vessel Starting Point under Clause 4.1(b) request a fixed lump sum price for the Pre-Delivery Cargo Option from Owner. If so requested by Lessee, Owner shall notify Lessee of such fixed lump sum price within ***** days following receipt of Lessee’s request. Lessee shall have ***** days from the date of receipt of such notice from Owner to elect whether to proceed with the Pre-Delivery Cargo Option on the basis of the lump sum price, to cancel the Pre-Delivery Cargo Option altogether, or to maintain the Pre-Delivery Cargo Option on the basis of Clause 4.1(b) above.

 

 19 

 

 

(d)If Lessee elects to cancel the Pre-Delivery Cargo Option under Clause 4.1(b) or 4.1(c), Owner shall not be required to deliver the Vessel with a cargo of LNG on the Delivery Date and Lessee shall not be obliged to pay Owner any amounts under this Clause 4.1.

(c)Lessee shall discharge its liability to pay the Hard Arms Optional Change Amount and/or the MSO Optional Change Amount (as applicable) as set out in Clause 4.3(b) above, either (at Lessee's election) by:

 

(i)Lessee paying to Owner the Hard Arms Optional Change Amount (if Lessee has exercised the Hard Arms Optional Change) and/or the MSO Optional Change Amount (if Lessee has exercised the MSO Optional Change) on the Vessel Acceptance Date; or

 

(ii)Lessee paying to Owner the Daily Hard Arms Reimbursement (if Lessee has exercised the Hard Arms Optional Change) and/or the Daily MSO Reimbursement (if Lessee has exercised the MSO Optional Change), each in accordance with Clause 11.1(d).

(a)an Affiliate of Owner without Lessee's consent, provided that Owner shall always remain responsible for due fulfilment of this Agreement notwithstanding such assignment; and/or

 

(b)subject to Clause 25.4, the Approved Mortgagee by way of security, provided any claims and encumbrances arising from such assignment and/or grant of a security interest by Owner shall be subject to the terms of the Approved Mortgagee's Direct Agreement.

 

25.LIENS AND MORTGAGE

 

25.1Owner's Liens

 

Subject to Clause 25.4, Owner shall not have, or allow any third party (claiming through Owner) to have, any Encumbrance on the Vessel, any cargoes, or fuel, or any sums payable to Lessee or with respect to the sale of regasified LNG discharged by the Vessel, without the prior consent of Lessee, other than any Permitted Encumbrance.

 

25.2Lessee's Liens

 

Lessee shall not have, or allow any third party (in their dealings with Lessee) to have, a lien on the Vessel.

 

25.3Release of Lien

 

In the event that any lien shall attach by operation of Law or in violation of this Clause 25, Owner and/or Lessee, as the case may be, shall take such steps as reasonably necessary to ensure that the lien does not interfere with the Vessel's operations or with Lessee's right to the Vessel and its cargo or Redelivery and export of the Vessel from Colombia and to effect prompt release of such lien prior to the enforcement thereof.

 

25.4Mortgage

 

As a condition for the effectiveness of any Approved Mortgage, Owner shall cause that the Approved Mortgagee shall enter into an Approved Mortgagee's Direct Agreement with Lessee.

 

26.EXCLUSIONS, LIMITATION OF LIABILITY AND LIQUIDATED DAMAGES

SPECIFIC TERMS IN THIS EXHIBIT HAVE BEEN REDACTED BECAUSE CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT FOR THOSE TERMS HAS BEEN REQUESTED. THE REDACTED MATERIAL HAS BEEN SEPARATELY FILED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION, AND THE TERMS HAVE BEEN MARKED AT THE APPROPRIATE PLACE WITH FIVE ASTERISKS (*****).

 

26.2Cumulative cap on liability

 

(a)Subject to Clauses 26.2(b) and 26.2(c), but notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or the FSRU Operation and Services Agreement:

 

(i)the aggregate, cumulative total liability of Lessee under or in connection with this Agreement and of Customer under or in connection with the FSRU Operation and Services Agreement howsoever arising, whether in contract, tort (including negligence) or otherwise arising at law, shall in no event exceed an amount equal to ***** Dollars (USD *****); and

 

(ii)the aggregate, cumulative total liability of Owner under or in connection with this Agreement and of Contractor under or in connection with the FSRU Operation and Services Agreement howsoever arising, whether in contract, tort (including negligence) or otherwise arising at law, shall in no event exceed an amount equal to ***** Dollars (USD *****). For avoidance of doubt if, following total loss of the Vessel, Owner decides to procure a replacement Vessel, costs associated with the procurement of such replacement Vessel will not count toward the above liability limit.

 

(b)Subject to Clause 26.2(c), but notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or the FSRU Operation and Services Agreement:

 

(i)the cap specified in Clause 26.2(a)(i) shall be increased to ***** Dollars (USD *****) in the event of Gross Negligence/Wilful Misconduct of Lessee and/or Customer; and

 

(ii)the cap specified in Clause 26.2(a)(ii) shall be increased to ***** Dollars (USD *****) in the event of Gross Negligence/Wilful Misconduct of Owner and/or Contractor.

 

(c)The provisions of Clauses 26.2(a) and 26.2(b) shall not apply to any payments made under the indemnity provisions in Clause 22 and/or clause 24 of the FSRU Operation and Services Agreement, or to the payment of Hire, Standby Hire and Accrued Hire earned by Owner under this Agreement and/or the payment of any amounts in respect of the MSO Optional Change, the Hard Arms Optional Change or the Pre-VAD Lessee LOC Costs and/or the payment of the Daily Fee earned by Contractor under the FSRU Operation and Services Agreement.

 

26.3Liquidated Damages

 

It is understood and agreed by the Parties that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the payment of sums specified as liquidated damages in this Agreement is in lieu of actual damages for any losses in respect of any event in respect of which such liquidated damages are payable and that, subject to Clause 20 and any other express provisions of this Agreement, recovery of such liquidated damages is the sole remedy of the Party being entitled to liquidated damages in respect of any event in

 

 64 

 

 

respect of which such liquidated damages are payable. To the extent permitted by applicable Law, the Party being liable to pay liquidated damages waives any defence as to the validity of the liquidated damages specified in this Agreement on the grounds that such liquidated damages are void as penalties. In the event that such amounts are declared or agreed not to be liquidated damages then, the liability of the Party being liable to pay liquidated damages to pay actual damages in respect thereof shall be capped at an amount equivalent to the amount which would otherwise have been paid as liquidated damages.

 

27.REMEDIES AND WAIVER

 

27.1Remedies

 

Except as otherwise expressly stated in this Agreement, the rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative with and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law.

 

For the avoidance of doubt, when under the terms of this Agreement a particular remedy is described as the "sole and exclusive remedy" of a Party for a particular event, circumstance or breach, such remedy shall, save for any specified exceptions, be the sole and exclusive remedy of such Party to the exclusion of any other remedy whatsoever which may otherwise have been available to it whether under this Agreement, in tort (including negligence) or otherwise arising at law.

 

27.2Waiver

 

A waiver of any term, provision or condition of, or consent granted under, this Agreement shall be effective only if given in writing and signed by the waiving or consenting Party and then only in the instance and for the purpose for which it is given. No failure or delay on the part of any Party in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power or privilege preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. No breach of any provision of this Agreement shall be waived or discharged except with the express written consent of the Parties.

 

27.3Waiver of claims against the Thermal Generators

 

Owner hereby irrevocably waives any actual or future claim it may have against the Thermal Generators in respect of any breach of the terms of this Agreement.

 

Lessee hereby warrants that the TUAs with the Thermal Generators contain confirmation from the Thermal Generators that they waive any actual or future claim they may have against Owner in respect of any breach of the terms of this Agreement.

 

28.CONSTRUCTION

 

28.1Entire Agreement

 

This Agreement comprises the full and complete agreement of the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior communications, understandings

 

 65 

 

 

and agreements between the Parties, whether written or oral, expressed or implied, with regard to said subject matter.

 

28.2Independent Construction

 

No provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted or construed against a Party because that Party or its legal representative drafted the provision.

 

28.3Severability

 

All provisions of this Agreement are severable, and the unenforceability of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement. If, at any time, any provision of this Agreement is or becomes illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any respect under any law of any jurisdiction, neither the legality, validity or enforceability of the remaining provisions nor the legality, validity or enforceability of such provision under the law of any other jurisdiction will in any way be affected or impaired.

30.GOVERNING LAW AND DISPUTE RESOLUTION

 

30.1Governing Law

 

This Agreement, and any dispute, controversy, proceedings or claim of whatever nature arising out of or in any way relating to this Agreement or its formation (including any non-contractual disputes or claims), shall be governed by and construed in accordance with English law.

 

30.2Expert Determination

 

(a)In the event that a Technical Dispute arises between the Parties, and the Parties have been unable to resolve such matter within ***** days of service of a dispute notice, the Parties agree to refer the dispute or difference for determination to an expert who meets the Expert Criteria (the "Expert").

 

(b)The identity of the Expert and the terms of appointment are to be agreed by the Parties, provided that the Expert agreed by the Parties meets the Expert Criteria. If agreement on appointment (and its terms) is not reached within ***** days of the decision to refer the dispute to an Expert, either Party can apply to the ICC, to appoint an expert who meets the Expert Criteria. To the extent the terms of appointment of the Expert are not agreed by the Parties, the Expert shall decide the terms of his appointment.

 

(c)In making a determination the Expert shall act as an expert and not as an arbitrator and his decision will (in the absence of manifest error and/or fraud) be final and binding on the Parties.

 

(d)The Expert shall provide his determination within ***** months of the matter being referred to him and shall give reasons for his determination.

 

(e)In the event the Expert dies or becomes unwilling or incapable of acting, or does not deliver the decision within the time required by Clause 30.2(d), then either Party may apply to the ICC to discharge the Expert and to appoint a replacement Expert who meets the Expert Criteria. This Clause 30.2 applies in relation to the new Expert as if he were the first Expert appointed.

 

(f)Each Party agrees to bear the costs incurred in relation to the reference to the Expert (which includes each Party's own costs and those of the Expert) in the proportions the Expert may direct or, in the absence of direction, equally. To the extent permitted by law, the Parties shall, as soon as reasonably practicable, provide to the Expert access to their respective premises and documents as may be required by the Expert to make his decision.

 

(g)In the event that any disputes to be decided pursuant to this Clause 30.2 are Related Disputes (either under this Agreement, the FSRU Operation and Services Agreement, a TUA or the EPC Contract), the following shall apply:

 

 68 

 

 

SPECIFIC TERMS IN THIS EXHIBIT HAVE BEEN REDACTED BECAUSE CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT FOR THOSE TERMS HAS BEEN REQUESTED. THE REDACTED MATERIAL HAS BEEN SEPARATELY FILED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION, AND THE TERMS HAVE BEEN MARKED AT THE APPROPRIATE PLACE WITH FIVE ASTERISKS (*****).

 

(i)where one or more Related Disputes have been referred to an Expert for determination and those Related Disputes arise under either this Agreement or this Agreement and the FSRU Operation and Services Agreement, the Parties agree that such disputes shall be determined (separately) by whichever Expert was first appointed;

 

(ii)subject to the provisions of Clause 30.2(g)(iii), where one or more Related Disputes have been referred to an Expert for determination and at least one of the Related Disputes arises out of a TUA or the EPC Contract, and an Expert is first appointed in respect of a TUA or EPC Contract Related Dispute, a Party will not be bound to use that same Expert to determine the Related Dispute under this Agreement unless it has consented to do so;

 

(iii)in case of Related Disputes where an Expert has yet to be appointed in relation to either, the Parties agree to appoint the same Expert to determine both (at the same time). Where a Related Dispute arises first out of a TUA or the EPC Contract, Lessee will notify Owner of the Related Dispute and the proposed Expert under the EPC Contract or TUA Related Dispute (the "Proposed Expert"). Owner shall confirm whether or not it agrees to the appointment of the Proposed Expert, such confirmation to be provided in writing within ***** days of notification of the Related Dispute and Proposed Expert. If no such confirmation is provided by Owner, Owner will be deemed to have accepted the Proposed Expert. In the event that Owner confirms that it does not agree to the Proposed Expert, the provisions of Clause 30.2(b) of this Agreement shall apply, save that the ICC will also be requested to appoint the same Expert to determine such Related Disputes at the same time;

 

(iv)if a Related Dispute which has already been determined gives rise to common issues, the Parties agree that submissions and evidence adduced, and the determination made, in the Related Dispute shall be admissible as evidence in the expert determination concerning the more recent dispute.

 

30.3Arbitration

 

(a)Save as set out in Clause 30.2, any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or its formation, including any non-contractual disputes (a "Dispute") shall be finally and (except as expressly provided otherwise in this Clause 30.3) exclusively determined by referral to arbitration in London, England, in accordance with the Rules of the London Court of International Arbitration ("LCIA Rules"), as may be amended from time to time, by a panel of three (3) suitably qualified arbitrators, fluent in English, familiar with the general principles of English law, and experienced in arbitrations conducted under the LCIA Rules. Notwithstanding the above

 

 69 

 

 

provisions, either Party may seek interlocutory relief in equity, if appropriate. Each Party shall appoint one (1) arbitrator, and the two (2) so appointed shall thereafter appoint the third arbitrator.

 

(b)The language of the arbitration shall be English.

 

(c)The arbitrators are not authorized to make any decision or award ex aequo et bono but shall apply the governing law chosen by the Parties.

 

(d)The arbitral panel shall issue its reasoned award in writing, and is authorized to award costs and attorneys' fees to the prevailing Party as part of its award.

 

(e)Any award shall be binding and enforceable against the Parties in any court of competent jurisdiction, and the Parties hereby waive any right to appeal such award on the merits or to challenge the award except on the grounds set forth in Article V of the United Nations Convention on the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards.

 

(f)Notwithstanding the foregoing agreement to arbitrate, the Parties expressly reserve the right to seek provisional relief from any court of competent jurisdiction to preserve their respective rights pending arbitration, and in seeking such relief shall not waive the right of arbitration.

 

(g)The Parties shall continue to perform this Agreement during arbitration proceedings and the arbitral panel shall have the authority to determine the validity of this Agreement and to arbitrate any Dispute submitted to it.

 

30.4Common Disputes

 

Subject to Clause 30.5(b) below, the Parties agree as follows:

 

(a)where a Dispute arises which raises one or more common issues of fact or law with a Dispute that has already arisen under this Agreement or the FSRU Operation and Services Agreement (whether or not arbitration of the other Disputes has already been commenced) (the "Common Disputes"), then the Parties agree to appoint the same tribunal in respect of the Common Disputes (the "Common Tribunal"). Where arbitrators have already been appointed to determine any of the Common Disputes, the tribunal first appointed will constitute the Common Tribunal. The Parties will ensure that the appointment of any other arbitrator is terminated immediately. The termination is without prejudice to: (A) the validity of any act done or order made by that arbitrator or by the court in support of that arbitration before his appointment is terminated; (B) his entitlement to be paid his proper fees and disbursements; and (C) the date when any claim or defence was raised for the purpose of applying any limitation bar or any similar rule or provision;

 

(b)if it considers it to be in the interests of justice and efficiency, the Common Tribunal can order the Common Disputes to be consolidated (a "Consolidation Order"). On making a Consolidation Order, the Common Tribunal will have jurisdiction to the exclusion of any other tribunal which may have been

 

 70 

 

 

appointed in respect of any of the Common Disputes, to finally resolve all the consolidated disputes;

 

(c)if a Consolidation Order is made, the Parties to each of the proceedings that are the subject of the order will be treated as having consented to the consolidated proceedings. The Parties agree that the Consolidation Order and the award of the Common Tribunal will be final and binding;

 

(d)if Common Disputes have already been finally determined under the FSRU Operation and Services Agreement, the determination of the Common Disputes will be binding on the Parties under this Agreement.

 

30.5Joinder

 

(a)Subject to Clause 30.5(b) below, the Parties agree:

 

(i)that the arbitral tribunal has power to join any party that is not party to the arbitration to the proceedings (an "Additional Party") as conferred by Article 22.1(h) of the LCIA Rules and each Party consents to such joinder;

 

(ii)that it may be joined as an Additional Party to any arbitration commenced under the FSRU Operation and Services Agreement; and

 

(iii)not to unreasonably object to the joinder or otherwise obstruct any attempt to join an Additional Party.

 

(b)The arbitral tribunal may only exercise such powers in Clauses 30.4 and 30.5(a) above if all parties to the relevant arbitral proceedings (including in relation to Clause 30.5(a), any Additional Party) have been given a reasonable opportunity to make representations to the arbitral tribunal in relation to the exercise of such powers.

 

(c)If more than two (2) Parties are involved in any arbitral proceedings the arbitral tribunal shall have all powers necessary to establish any supplementary procedural rules required or desirable in view of the multi-party nature of the arbitral proceedings. Such powers shall include the ability to issue one or more arbitration awards during or at the conclusion of the arbitration as considered necessary, appropriate or expedient by the arbitral tribunal.

 

30.6Caveat

 

Notwithstanding the reference of a Dispute for resolution under the provisions of Clause 30.3, the Parties shall continue diligently to observe and perform their respective obligations and duties under this Agreement as if no Dispute had arisen, except if a Party has given notice to terminate this Agreement. This Clause 30 shall survive termination of this Agreement.

 

31.WAIVER OF IMMUNITY

 

To the extent that a Party is entitled in any jurisdiction to claim for itself or its property or assets any right of immunity, including immunity from submission to jurisdiction,

 

 71 

 

 

service of any documents, recognition of an award or suit, judgment, enforcement, execution, attachment (whether in aid of execution, before judgment or otherwise) or other legal process whatsoever or wheresoever, or to the extent that in any such jurisdiction there may be attributed to such Party or its assets or property such immunity (whether or not claimed), the such Party hereby irrevocably agrees in respect of any Disputes or the enforcement of any judgment or arbitration award against any of its property or assets not to claim and hereby irrevocably waives such immunity to the fullest extent permitted by the laws of such jurisdiction and, without limitation, it is intended that the foregoing waiver of immunity shall have irrevocable effect for the purposes of the United States Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act 1976 in any Disputes to which that Act is applicable.

 

32.CONFIDENTIALITY

 

32.1Confidential Information

 

The Parties agree to keep Confidential Information strictly confidential, except in the following cases when a Party shall be permitted to disclose such information:

 

(a)it is already known to the public or becomes available to the public other than through the act or omission of the disclosing Party;

 

(b)it is required to be disclosed under Law or order of Governmental Authority or stock exchange regulations (provided that the disclosing Party shall give written notice of such required disclosure to the other Party prior to the disclosure);

 

(c)in filings with a court or arbitral body in proceedings in which the Confidential Information is relevant and in discovery arising out of such proceedings; or

 

(d)to any of the following Persons to the extent necessary for the proper performance of their duties or functions:

 

(i)a supplier or carrier, or a potential supplier or carrier, of LNG shipped or to be shipped on the Vessel;

 

(ii)the Terminal Users;

 

(iii)an Affiliate of the disclosing Party;

 

(iv)employees, officers, directors and agents of the disclosing Party (or an Affiliate);

 

(v)professional consultants retained by a disclosing Party; or

 

(vi)financial institutions advising on, providing or considering the provision of financing to the disclosing Party or its Affiliates,

(e)to the Colombian Central Bank (Banco de la República) and any Colombian Foreign Exchange Market Intermediary to the extent necessary for Lessee to submit any necessary forms or tax returns in connection with this Agreement.

33.SANCTIONS

 

33.1Operation of the Vessel and Sanctions

(b)If the Vessel is operating and such operation contravenes or becomes illegal under Sanctions Laws, Owner shall have the right to require the cessation of such operations and to require that any LNG on board the Vessel be discharged and redelivered to Lessee. The Vessel shall remain on Hire for the period of time during which such discharge of LNG on board the Vessel is occurring.

 

(c)If the Vessel is already performing a pre-delivery voyage under Clause 4.1, performance of which contravenes or becomes illegal under Sanctions Laws, Owner shall have the right to refuse to proceed with the employment and Lessee shall be obliged to issue alternative voyage orders within ***** hours of receipt of Owner's notification of its refusal to proceed. Lessee shall compensate Owner for completing Lessee's alternative voyage orders by: (i) paying the Rate and the Daily Fee for each additional day (not attributable to Owner, Contractor or Owner's or Contractor's Affiliates, contractors, servants and subcontractors) taken by Owner to complete such alternative voyage orders; and (ii) reimbursing Owner for any additional documented Voyage Expenses. If Lessee does not issue such alternative voyage orders within the ***** hour period, Owner may discharge any cargo already loaded at the nearest safe port (including the port of loading), and Lessee shall compensate Owner by: (i) paying the Rate and the Daily Fee for each additional day (not attributable to Owner, Contractor or Owner's or Contractor's Affiliates, contractors, servants and subcontractors) taken by Owner to travel to such safe port and discharge such cargo and (ii) reimbursing Owner for any additional documented Voyage Expenses.

 

(d)Subject to Clause 33.2 below, any time during which the Vessel ceases to be at the disposal of Lessee by reason of this Clause 33.1, shall be treated in the same way as an Event of Force Majeure in accordance with Clause 19 hereof.

SPECIFIC TERMS IN THIS EXHIBIT HAVE BEEN REDACTED BECAUSE CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT FOR THOSE TERMS HAS BEEN REQUESTED. THE REDACTED MATERIAL HAS BEEN SEPARATELY FILED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION, AND THE TERMS HAVE BEEN MARKED AT THE APPROPRIATE PLACE WITH FIVE ASTERISKS (*****).

 

33.2Non-Compliant Parties

 

(a)Each of Owner and Lessee respectively warrant for itself and their respective Affiliates that at the date of this Agreement:

 

(i)it is in compliance with Sanctions Laws applicable to such Party;

 

(ii)it is not a Restricted Party; and

 

(iii)it is not subject to or involved in any inquiry, claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation against it with respect to Sanctions Laws applicable to such Party by any Sanctions Authority.

 

(b)If at any time during the performance of this Agreement either Party becomes aware that the other Party (the "Non-Compliant Party") would be in breach of the warranties in Clause 33.2(a) if such warranties were to be given from the date of this Agreement until the end of the Term:

 

(i)such Party shall give notice to the Non-Compliant Party (a "Sanctions Warranty Notice");

 

(ii)from the date of the Sanctions Warranty Notice, performance of the obligations of Owner and Lessee under this Agreement shall be suspended without liability of either Party unless and until performance resumes in accordance with Clause 33.2(b)(iv) below or this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Clause 33.2(b)(v) below;

 

(iii)if Owner is the Non-Compliant Party, such period of suspension shall count as Off-Hire. If Lessee is the Non-Compliant Party, Lessee shall continue to be obliged to pay Hire during the period of suspension subject to such payment of Hire, and its receipt by Owner, not being in breach of Sanctions Laws. If payment of Hire by Lessee and its receipt by Owner is in breach of Sanctions Laws and remains so for a period of ***** days or more, Owner shall be entitled to terminate this Agreement with immediate effect by sending written notice thereof to Lessee, such termination being treated as a termination under Clause 20.3;

 

(iv)Owner and Lessee shall use all reasonable endeavours to apply for and obtain any applicable license or authorisation which will enable the Parties to resume performance of this Agreement notwithstanding the circumstances giving rise to the operation of this Clause 33.2 and upon the obtaining of such license or authorisation performance of the obligations of Owner and Lessee under this Agreement shall resume and any amount of Hire which has not been paid by reason of it being contrary to Sanctions Laws shall to the extent legally permissible, become immediately due and payable by Lessee to Owner; and

(v)if no licence or authorisation as referred to in Clause 33.2(b)(iv) above is obtained within ***** days of the Sanctions Warranty Notice referred to in Clause 33.2(b)(i) above or if it shall at any earlier time be apparent to the Party which is not the Non-Compliant Party that there is no reasonable prospect of any such licence or authorisation being obtained, either Party may terminate this Agreement by notice to the other Party, such termination being treated as a termination under Clause 20.3.

 

(c)Notwithstanding anything in this Clause 33 to the contrary, Owner or Lessee shall not be required to do anything which constitutes a violation of Sanctions Laws applicable to such Party, or of any other laws and regulations of any State to which either of them is subject.

THE PARTIES AGREE AS FOLLOWS:

 

1.             DEFINITIONS AND INTERPRETATION

 

1.1           In this Deed, words and phrases commencing with capital letters will, unless a contrary intention appears or unless such words and phrases are otherwise defined in this Deed, have the same meaning ascribed to them under the Relevant Agreements.

 

1.2           In the event of any conflict between the Relevant Agreements and this Deed, this Deed will prevail.

 

2.             GUARANTEE AND INDEMNITY

 

2.1           The Guarantor guarantees to SPEC that each of the Höegh Contractors shall duly perform all of its obligations contained in the Relevant Agreements (the "Obligations"). If either of the Höegh Contractors shall in any respect fail to perform its respective obligations under the Relevant Agreements (subject to the terms and conditions provided therein) or shall commit any breach thereof, the Guarantor undertakes to perform said obligations under the Relevant Agreements. When the Guarantor renders performance as described herein, the relevant Höegh Contractor shall be released and discharged from performance under the Relevant Agreements to the extent that such obligations and liabilities have been discharged by the Guarantor hereunder.

 

2.2           The Guarantor agrees that if, for any reason, any amount claimed under this Deed is not recoverable solely on the basis of a guarantee, the Guarantor will, as principal obligor and as separate and independent obligations and liabilities from its obligations and liabilities under clause 2.1, indemnify SPEC against all loss, debt, damage, interest, liability, cost and expense (including reasonable legal expenses) incurred or suffered by SPEC by reason of a failure by the Höegh Contractors to perform any or all of the Obligations when they are due and performable.

2.3           For the purposes of this Deed, any money judgment, arbitrator's award or expert's decision against the Höegh Contractors in favour of SPEC under or in connection with the Relevant Agreements shall be conclusive evidence of any liability of the Höegh Contractors to which that judgment, award or decision relates and the Guarantor agrees to satisfy and discharge any money judgment, arbitrator's award or adjudicator's decision made against the Höegh Contractors in favour of SPEC.

 

[2.4          The Guarantor agrees and acknowledges that the guarantee in clause 2.1 and the indemnity in clause 2.2 shall apply to any breach by the Höegh Contractors of the Relevant Agreements that may arise on or after the date of release of the guarantee provided by Höegh LNG Holdings Ltd and also any liability that may arise on or after the date of such release from any breach by the Höegh Contractors of the Relevant Agreements committed before the date of such release.] [Note: to be included in Höegh LNG Partners LP guarantee]

3.2           The Guarantor's guarantee and undertakings hereunder shall be unconditional and irrevocable, and without prejudice to the generality of the foregoing, the Guarantor shall not be released or discharged from its liability hereunder by:

 

(a)           any waiver or forbearance by SPEC of or in respect of any of the Höegh Contractors' obligations under the Relevant Agreements whether as to performance or otherwise howsoever, or by any failure by SPEC to enforce the Relevant Agreements or this instrument; or

 

(b)           any alteration to, addition to, or deletion from the Relevant Agreements or the scope of work to be performed under the Relevant Agreements; or

 

(c)           any change in the shareholding relationship between the Guarantor and the Höegh Contractors; or

 

(d)           any other fact, circumstance, act, event, omission or provision of statute or law or otherwise which but for this clause might operate to discharge, impair or otherwise affect any of the obligations of the Guarantor under this Deed or any of the rights, powers or remedies conferred on SPEC by this Deed or by law,

 

and the Guarantor's guarantee and undertakings hereunder shall continue in force until all the Höegh Contractors' obligations under the Relevant Agreements and all of the Guarantor's obligations hereunder have been duly performed[, or this Deed is released by SPEC in accordance clause 12.12(c) of the FSRU ILA] [Note: to be included in Hoegh LNG Holdings guarantee only].

 

3.3           Notwithstanding any other provision of this Deed the obligations guaranteed by the Guarantor and the liability of the Guarantor under this Deed shall not exceed the liability of the Höegh Contractors under the Relevant Agreements.

 

3.4           Subject to clause 2.3, the Guarantor shall be entitled to exercise all of the contractual protections, limitations and exclusions of liability in respect of any claim made hereunder as are available to the Höegh Contractors under the Relevant Agreements.

 

4.             CLAIM LIMITATIONS

 

4.1           The Guarantor must not (so long as the Höegh Contractors have any actual or contingent Obligations pursuant to the Relevant Agreements) by reason of performance by it of its obligations under this Deed claim by the institution of proceedings or the threat of proceedings or otherwise (whether on the basis of an indemnity or otherwise) any sum from the Höegh Contractors, where and to the extent that such claim:

 

(a)           would lead to the insolvency of the Höegh Contractors, or either of them, or place either of the Höegh Contractors at material risk of becoming insolvent; or

 

(b)           would otherwise materially affect the ability of the Höegh Contractors, or either of them, to perform their obligations under the relevant Agreements.

 

 98 

 

 

5.             RECOURSE IN ACCORDANCE WITH RELEVANT AGREEMENTS

 

5.1           Notwithstanding the provisions of clause 2.3, SPEC shall be entitled to make a claim under this Deed in accordance with clause 12.6(c) of the FSRU ILA or clause 9.6(c) of the FSRU OSA or otherwise if either of the Höegh Contractors has failed to perform any other obligation under the Relevant Agreements.

 

5.2           SPEC will not be obliged, before enforcing any of its rights or remedies conferred upon it by this Deed or by law, to take any step or action, including (without limitation):

 

(a) the taking of any legal proceedings or action or the obtaining of any judgment against the Höegh Contractors in any court, arbitration, determination or adjudication;

 

(b) the making or filing of any claim in bankruptcy, liquidation, winding up or dissolution of the Höegh Contractors; or

 

(c) the pursuance or exhaustion of any other right or remedy against the Höegh Contractors,

 

and the liabilities of the Guarantor under this Deed may be enforced as set out in clause 5.1 irrespective of whether any legal proceedings are being or have been taken against the Höegh Contractors.

 

6.             CONTINUING OBLIGATION

 

This Deed is a continuing guarantee and will remain in full force and effect until each and every part of the Obligations have been discharged and performed in full [or this Deed is released by SPEC in accordance clause 12.12(c) of the FSRU ILA] [Note: to be included in Hoegh LNG Holdings guarantee only]

 

7.             REINSTATEMENT

 

If the Guarantor is discharged or released in any way as a result of any payment or performance by the Höegh Contractors or any other person which is set aside under insolvency legislation or for any other reason, the Guarantor's liability hereunder shall be reinstated as if such payment or performance had not occurred.

 

8.             NO WITHHOLDING TAX

 

All payments made by the Guarantor under this Deed must be made in full without deduction or withholding for or on account of any Taxes. If any deduction or withholding from any payment is required by law then, to the extent that such deduction or withholding would not be required if such payment were made by the Höegh Contractors under the Relevant Agreements, the Guarantor will promptly pay to SPEC an additional amount being the amount required to procure that the aggregate net amount received by SPEC will equal the full amount which would have been received by it had no deduction or withholding been made.

Schedule 8 - Approved Mortgagee's Direct Agreement

 

To:[·] ("Lessee")

 

Re:[LNG floating storage and regasification vessel with builder's hull no. 2551 (IMO No. [·]) (the "Vessel")

 

1.We refer to:

 

(a)the international leasing agreement dated [·] between [Owner] as owner of the Vessel ("Owner") and [Lessee] as Lessee of the Vessel ("Lessee"), under which Owner agreed to let the Vessel to Lessee on the terms and conditions set out therein (the "Agreement"); and

 

(b)the senior secured term loan credit facility dated [·] between [Owner] as borrower and [·] as lenders (the "Lenders"), under which the Lenders agreed to loan certain sums to [Owner] (the "Credit Facility").

 

2.(a)In consideration of Lessee signing the acknowledgement to the notice of assignment given by Owner to Lessee of Owner's assignment to the Lenders by way of security of its rights under the Agreement, and subject always to Lessee complying in all respects with its commitments under the Agreement, we, as mortgagee of the Vessel and on behalf of the Lenders (the "Mortgagee"), hereby agree and undertake that we shall not, directly or through the actions of others, take any action which may interfere directly or indirectly with or otherwise disturb Lessee's exclusive, quiet and peaceful use, possession, employment and enjoyment of the Vessel in accordance with the terms of the Agreement and that Lessee will be allowed unfettered use of the Vessel in accordance with the terms of the Agreement.

 

(b)The commitments in Paragraph 2(a) do not extend to committing the Mortgagee to preserving Lessee's quiet enjoyment of the Vessel if: (i) Lessee has breached the terms of the Agreement; and (ii) such breach entitles Owner under the terms of the Agreement to withdraw the Vessel from service or otherwise terminate the Agreement, whether or not Owner has exercised its right to terminate the Agreement.

 

3.Further, the Mortgagee also hereby agrees and undertakes that if an Event of Default (as that term is defined in the Credit Facility) has occurred and is continuing, except in the circumstance described Paragraph 2(c) above, the Mortgagee will not exercise any rights it may have against the Vessel, except as provided below.

 

Lessee agrees that if:

 

(a)the Mortgagee notifies Lessee that an Event of Default (as that term is defined in the Credit Facility) has occurred and is continuing and that either the Mortgagee or its designee wants to assume Owner's rights, obligations and liabilities under the Agreement and be substituted for Owner under the Agreement (the "Substitute Owner"), which notice shall give Lessee details of the Substitute Owner, and

 

(b)the Substitute Owner is an entity which has the financial and technical capacity to perform Owner's obligations under the Agreement,

 

109

 

 

SPECIFIC TERMS IN THIS EXHIBIT HAVE BEEN REDACTED BECAUSE CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT FOR THOSE TERMS HAS BEEN REQUESTED. THE REDACTED MATERIAL HAS BEEN SEPARATELY FILED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION, AND THE TERMS HAVE BEEN MARKED AT THE APPROPRIATE PLACE WITH FIVE ASTERISKS (*****).

 

then if (x) Lessee approves of the Substitute Owner in writing, which approval may not be unreasonably withheld, and shall be deemed given if not disapproved in writing by Lessee within ***** days after such notice, and (y) the Substitute Owner agrees that the assumption of obligations and liabilities by the Substitute Owner shall include all of the Owner's obligations and liabilities under the Agreement to the fullest extent they remained unperformed or unpaid at the time of assumption (including any obligations in respect of the Purchase Option (as such term is defined in the Agreement)), the Lessee shall enter into a novation agreement (in form and substance satisfactory to Lessee) with Owner and Substitute Owner in relation to the Agreement and, following such novation, Lessee shall continue to perform Lessee's obligations under the Agreement in favour of the Substitute Owner.

 

4.Nothing in this letter shall create any additional obligations or liabilities on Lessee under the Agreement and nothing in this letter shall modify or limit any of Lessee's rights or benefits under the Agreement.

 

5.This letter and any dispute, controversy, proceedings or claim of whatever nature arising out of or in any way relating to this letter or its formation (including any non-contractual disputes or claims) shall be governed by and construed in accordance with English law, and any dispute relating to it shall be subject to arbitration in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Agreement.
