Financial Notes (Unaudited) (a) The Condensed Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2002, the Condensed Statements of Income for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001, and the Condensed Statements of Cash Flows for the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001 are unaudited. Because of the nature of the Company's operations, the results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the year. In the opinion of management, all material adjustments necessary for the fair presentation of interim period results have been included in the interim financial statements. (b) The 2002 estimated effective annual income tax rate differs from the statutory rate, due primarily to the favorable settlement of prior years' federal and state tax audits. The 2001 estimated effective annual income tax rate differs from the statutory rate, due primarily to the dividends- received deduction, various tax credits and the charitable donation of appreciated stock. (c) Accounting for and Classification of Discontinued Operations: The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets," on January 1, 2001. This standard requires the classification of the sales of certain income-producing assets as discontinued operations if the operations and cash flows of the assets can be clearly distinguished from the remaining assets of the Company, if the cash flows for the assets have been, or will be, eliminated from the ongoing operations of the Company, if the Company will not have a significant continuing involvement in the operations of the assets sold and if the amount is considered material. Certain assets that are "held for sale," based on the likelihood and intention of selling the property within 12 months, are also treated as discontinued operations. Sales of land and residential houses are generally considered inventory and are not included in discontinued operations. Revenue and operating profit in the Industry Segment Data for the property development and management segment include operating results and gains from properties sold and property classified as "held for sale," that are reported as discontinued operations, since this is how management views and evaluates this business segment. These amounts are subtracted in deriving total revenue and operating profit and are shown, net of tax, under the caption "Discontinued Operations: Properties." The Company intends to continue its practice of reinvesting the proceeds from the sales of investment property into new income-earning property, using tax- deferred exchanges. (d) Commitments that are not included in the Company's Condensed Balance Sheet at June 30, 2002 include a guarantee by Matson of $31,500,000 of debt of an unconsolidated affiliate, a Company guarantee of up to $15,000,000 of debt of a sugar marketing and transportation cooperative, performance bonds totaling $6,640,000, and standby letters of credit totaling $20,449,000. Based on the Company's current knowledge, it is not expected that the Company or its subsidiaries will be called upon to advance funds under these commitments. Additional discussion of these commitments is contained in Item 2 of this Form 10-Q. (e) As described in Note 13 to the 2001 financial statements included in Item 8 of the Company's 2001 Form 10-K, the State of Hawaii Department of Taxation (State) had informed the Company that it believes a portion of the Company's ocean transportation revenue is subject to the Public Service Company tax. The Company strongly disagrees with the State's tax position, but if the State were to prevail fully, the amount of the claim could be material. Discussions with the State are continuing and the Company believes that the ultimate resolution of this matter will not have a material adverse effect on its results of operations or financial position. (f) Certain amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current year's presentation. ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - ------------------------------------------------ The following analysis of the consolidated financial condition and results of operations of Alexander & Baldwin, Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, the "Company") should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto. FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS The Company, from time to time, may make or may have made certain forward- looking statements, whether orally or in writing, such as forecasts and projections of the Company's future performance or statements of management's plans and objectives. These statements are "forward-looking" statements as that term is defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such forward-looking statements may be contained in, among other things, Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) filings, such as the Forms 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K, press releases made by the Company, the Company's Internet Web sites (including Web sites of its subsidiaries), and oral statements made by the officers of the Company. Except for historical information contained in these written or oral communications, such communications contain forward- looking statements. These forward-looking statements involve a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected in the statements, including, but not limited to: (1) impact of events of September 11, 2001; (2) economic conditions in Hawaii and elsewhere; (3) market demand; (4) competitive factors and pricing pressures in the Company's primary markets; (5) legislative and regulatory environments at the federal, state and local levels, such as government rate regulations, land-use regulations, government administration of the U.S. sugar program, and modifications to or retention of cabotage laws; (6) dependence on third-party suppliers; (7) fuel prices; (8) raw sugar prices; (9) labor relations; (10) risks associated with current or future litigation and resolution of tax issues with the IRS and state tax authorities; (11) the performance of unconsolidated affiliates and ventures; and (12) other risk factors described elsewhere in these communications and from time to time in the Company's filings with the SEC. SECOND QUARTER AND FIRST HALF EVENTS: Operating Results: Net income for the second quarter of 2002 was $13,197,000, or $0.32 per basic share. In the second quarter of 2001, income was $24,514,000, or $0.60 per basic share. Revenue in the second quarter of 2002 was $279,185,000, compared with revenue of $293,012,000 in the second quarter of 2001. Second quarter 2001 net income included a gain of $9,400,000 ($0.23 per basic share), due to the sale of the Company's investment in Pacific Century Financial Corporation ("Pacific Century") (NYSE:BOH). Excluding this gain on sale, net income decreased by $1,917,000, or 13 percent, compared with the second quarter of 2001. Net income for the first half of 2002 was $23,004,000, or $0.56 per basic share, compared with $46,948,000, or $1.16 per basic share, for the first half of 2001. Excluding the gain on the sale of the Pacific Century investment, net income decreased by $14,544,000, or 39 percent, compared with the first half of 2001. Interest expense for the first half and second quarter of 2002 was lower than in the comparable periods last year, due to lower debt balances and lower rates. RESULTS OF SEGMENT OPERATIONS - SECOND-QUARTER 2002 COMPARED WITH THE SECOND-QUARTER 2001 OCEAN TRANSPORTATION revenue of $223,074,000 for the second quarter of 2002 increased ten percent from the $203,212,000 reported in 2001. Operating profit of $14,818,000 decreased 21 percent from the $18,713,000 reported in 2001. The higher revenue was mainly due to new intermodal business and higher cargo volume. These two factors, however, had little impact on the lower operating profit, which was primarily a result of continuing productivity problems at the Sand Island (Honolulu) terminal following the 2001 conversion of the terminal's operations, partially offset by rate actions taken in 2002. Second quarter operating results also included a $1.2 million charge for the write-off of assets made obsolete by the replacement of two cranes at the Company's Sand Island terminal. Second quarter 2002 Hawaii service container volume was seven percent higher than in the second quarter of 2001. Most of this increased volume was carried, however, under slot-charter agreements at lower than normal margins. Automobile volume was eight percent lower for the second quarter compared with a year earlier. A general rate increase of 2.75 percent became effective April 14, 2002. Additionally, effective May 5, 2002, Matson increased its fuel surcharge from 3.25 percent to 4.75 percent, due to increases in the prices of bunker fuel. During the quarter, Matson entered into an agreement with Kvaerner Philadelphia Shipyards, Inc. to purchase two container ships at a cost of approximately $110 million each. The cost is expected to be funded with the Capital Construction Fund and external borrowings. The first ship is expected to be delivered in mid-2003, with the second ship in 2004. No significant payments are required until the delivery of the first ship. Matson's ownership interest in SSA Terminals, LLC (SSAT), a West Coast stevedoring and terminal service provider, was reduced to 35 percent from 49.5 percent, as a result of an agreement to eliminate the majority owner's preferred cash return. The operating agreement for Sea Star Line, LLC (Sea Star), an ocean transportation venture carrying cargo between Florida and Puerto Rico in which Matson is a minority owner, was revised when Matson did not participate with other owners in capital calls associated with acquisition of the assets of a Puerto Rico competitor. As a result, Matson's future ownership interest in Sea Star was reduced from 45 percent to approximately 20 percent and it is anticipated that Matson's loan guarantees associated with Sea Star will, over time, be reduced in accordance with a pre-determined schedule. At June 30, 2002, the amount of the loan guarantee was $31.5 million. On May 13, 2002, the International Longshore and Warehouse Union (ILWU) and the Pacific Maritime Association (of which Matson is a member) began negotiations on the contract that governs longshore labor for U.S. Pacific Coast marine terminals. The existing Pacific Coast Longshore Contract was scheduled to expire on July 1, 2002. Since then, negotiations have continued and the contract has been extended on a day-to-day basis. Along with wages and benefits, the principal negotiating issues are the use of technology in marine terminal operations and the modification of certain work rules. The Hawaii labor agreement with the ILWU Local 142 also was scheduled to expire on July 1, 2002, and subsequently was being extended on a day-to-day basis. Although discussions about local issues are continuing, this contract is not expected to be renewed until after the West Coast negotiations are completed. The Company is not currently experiencing any work slowdowns or stoppages as a result of these ongoing West Coast and Hawaii labor negotiations. PROPERTY DEVELOPMENT AND MANAGEMENT - LEASING operating profit, before removing amounts treated as discontinued operations, was $7,616,000 for the second quarter of 2002, or 12 percent lower than in the second quarter of 2001. This decrease was the result of lower occupancies for both the Mainland and Hawaii properties and the write-off of approximately $200,000 of pursuit costs for an acquisition that did not occur. Second quarter 2002 occupancy levels for Mainland properties averaged 91 percent, versus 93 percent in the second quarter of 2001. Occupancy levels for Hawaii properties averaged 87 percent in the second quarter of 2002, versus 90 percent a year earlier. Mainland occupancy declined, principally due to a lease expiration for a large industrial tenant and vacancies resulting from two tenant bankruptcies. The decrease in Hawaii occupancy was due primarily to the loss of a significant office tenant in late 2001. This space subsequently was re-leased in the second quarter of 2002. In the second quarter of 2002, two shopping centers were acquired, one in Long Beach, California and one in Mililani, Hawaii. PROPERTY DEVELOPMENT AND MANAGEMENT - SALES revenue and operating profit (before subtracting amounts treated as discontinued operations) of $16,636,000 and $2,974,000, respectively, for the second quarter of 2002 were primarily the result of selling a Colorado shopping center, seven residential properties, four business parcels and an 85-acre parcel on Maui, partially offset by the write-off of approximately $400,000 of pursuit costs for an acquisition that did not occur. Sales revenue of $29,155,000 and operating profit of $3,551,000 for the second quarter of 2001 were the result of the sale of 46 residential properties, four business parcels and a four-acre parcel on Maui. This variability in sales and operating profit is an inherent characteristic of property sales activity. The Company has accelerated development plans for its Kukui'Ula project on the island of Kauai and has entered into a joint venture with an affiliate of DMB Associates. The venture will have responsibility for planning, development and sales of the project. The Company will contribute the land and existing improvements to the venture, and DMB will fund all future development costs, subject to an option available to the Company, that diminishes over time, to participate in a portion of that funding. The Kukui'Ula project comprises 1,045 acres on the southern coast of Kauai, adjacent to the Poipu resort. The project consists of 837 acres fully entitled for a resort, an 18-hole golf course, residential and commercial use, and parks and open space. The remaining 208 acres are partially entitled. The Company has two other joint ventures to develop smaller projects in Hawaii. One project is Kai Lani, a 116-unit townhouse condominium project at Ko'Olina, a resort community on the island of Oahu. The other is HoloHolo Ku, consisting of 44 single-family condominium ranch homes bordering Parker Ranch pastures in Waimea on the island of Hawaii. The Company accounts for these two joint ventures and the Kukui'Ula joint venture following the equity method of accounting. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS: PROPERTIES - During the second quarter, the sale of a small shopping center in Colorado met the criteria for classification as a discontinued operation. The after-tax gain on the sale and the earnings of this property totaled $673,000, or $0.01 per share, for the second quarter of 2002. These are classified, therefore, under the caption "Discontinued Operations: Properties." The revenue and operating profit generated from this property, as well as from the qualifying properties sold in the first quarter of 2002, were removed from continuing operations in prior years. The after- tax operating profit during the second quarter of 2001 that was reclassified as discontinued operations following the sale of this property, as well as sales of property in the first quarter of 2002, totaled $367,000. Consistent with the Company's intention to reinvest the sales proceeds into new investment property, the proceeds from this sale were put in escrow accounts for tax- deferred reinvestment in accordance with Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code. For the current quarter, no unsold assets were classified as held for sale. FOOD PRODUCTS revenue of $27,523,000 for the second quarter of 2002 was $553,000 lower than the $28,076,000 of revenue reported in the second quarter of 2001. Operating profit of $1,033,000 for the second quarter of 2002 compared with $1,509,000 for the second quarter of 2001. The decrease in operating profit was due primarily to lower domestic raw sugar prices, and lower sugar and molasses production, partially offset by reduced losses from A&B's 36 percent minority investment in C&H Sugar Company, Inc. (C&H). As of June 30, 2002, the Company had forward-priced 42 percent of its expected total-year sugar production at approximately $21/cwt. Domestic sugar prices for 2002 are expected to be slightly lower than for 2001. During the first half of 2002, wet harvesting conditions on Maui have affected sugar production and costs adversely. Sugar production and costs in 2001 were affected adversely by drought conditions. Even with the wet harvesting conditions, however, the 2002 total-year sugar production is expected to improve modestly, compared with the 191,512 tons produced during 2001. Coffee prices are not expected to improve during 2002, due to continued world oversupply of lower quality commercial grades, particularly from Brazil. OTHER operating profit for the second quarter of 2001 included a $15,100,000 pre-tax gain, due to the sale of the Company's investment in Pacific Century. RESULTS OF SEGMENT OPERATIONS - FIRST SIX MONTHS 2002 COMPARED WITH THE FIRST SIX MONTHS OF 2001 OCEAN TRANSPORTATION revenue of $415,818,000 for the first half of 2002 was four percent higher than the $399,821,000 reported in the first half of 2001. Operating profit of $17,325,000 for the first half of 2002 declined 52 percent from $36,168,000 in the first half of 2001. The higher revenue was due to the same factors cited in the second quarter comparisons. The decline in operating profit resulted primarily from productivity issues at the Sand Island (Honolulu) terminal, favorable one-time revenue and insurance reserve adjustments in 2001, barge drydockings in Hawaii early in 2002 which increased third-party service costs, lower pension credits and the assets write-off previously noted in the second quarter comparisons partially offset by previously noted rate actions. First half 2002 Hawaii service container volume was two percent higher than in the first half of 2001. Automobile volume was 15 percent lower for the first six months of 2002, compared with the first half of 2001. In January 2002, Matson sold two vessels to Sea Star for $17,000,000, which approximated the vessels' carrying value. PROPERTY DEVELOPMENT AND MANAGEMENT - LEASING revenue (before subtracting amounts treated as discontinued operations) was $35,220,000 for the first half of 2002, or two percent higher than the $34,586,000 reported for the first half of 2001. Operating profit, also before subtracting discontinued operations, was $15,858,000 for the first half of 2002, or nine percent lower than the $17,419,000 reported for the first half of 2001. This decrease in operating profit was due to lower occupancies overall in both Mainland and Hawaii properties, partially offset by the timing of sales and acquisitions of properties in 2002 as compared with 2001. 2002 occupancy levels for Mainland properties averaged 91 percent, versus 93 percent in the first half of 2001. Average occupancy levels for Hawaii properties were 87 percent, versus 90 percent in the comparable period of 2001. The fluctuations in occupancy rates were due to the same factors cited for the second quarter. PROPERTY DEVELOPMENT AND MANAGEMENT - SALES (before subtracting amounts treated as discontinued operations) revenue of $53,907,000 and operating profit of $11,852,000 in the first half of 2002 were primarily the result of the sales of a seven-building distribution complex in Texas, a number of smaller Hawaii commercial properties, 11 residential homes, a small shopping center in Colorado and an 85-acre parcel in upcountry Maui. Sales revenue of $72,239,000 and operating profit of $15,767,000 in the first half of 2001 included the sale of an industrial lot to Wal-Mart, three commercial properties in Washington state, a four-acre parcel on Maui, 68 residential properties and four business parcels. The lower revenue and operating profit for 2002 compared with 2001 were the result of a lower number of property sales in 2002. This variability in sales and operating profit is an inherent characteristic of property sales activity. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS: PROPERTIES - During the first half of 2002, the sales of a seven-building distribution complex in Texas, a land parcel subject to a ground lease, and the small Colorado shopping center noted previously met the criteria for classification as discontinued operations. The after-tax gain on the sales and the earnings of these properties, totaling $5,166,000, or $0.12 per share, for the first half of 2002, are classified, therefore, under the caption "Discontinued Operations: Properties." The revenue and operating profit generated from these properties in prior years were removed from continuing operations. The after-tax operating profit during the first half of 2001 that was reclassified as discontinued operations following the sale of the properties in 2002 totaled $603,000. Consistent with the Company's intention to reinvest the sales proceeds into new investment property, the proceeds from these sales were put in escrow accounts for tax-deferred reinvestment in accordance with Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code. As permitted by SFAS No. 144, comparable property sales that were initiated prior to the Company's adoption of this accounting standard on January 1, 2001 have not been reported as discontinued operations. The 2001 first half includes the sales of three properties in Washington state for an aggregate price of $15.6 million and a $2.1 million after-tax gain, all of which were initiated prior to the adoption of the new standard. FOOD PRODUCTS revenue of $43,951,000 in the first half of 2002 compared with $46,261,000 in revenue for the comparable period of 2001. Operating profit for the first half of 2002 was $3,128,000 compared with $7,311,000 for the first half of 2001. Both of these decreases were due primarily to a first quarter 2001 one-time $5,000,000 (pre-tax) distribution from HS&TC, the sugar marketing and transportation cooperative that handles the Hawaii sugar growers' production. In 2001, the Company ceased the operations of and abandoned its panelboard manufacturing business operated by Hawaiian DuraGreen, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (reported in 2001 discontinued operations). This is discussed further in Item 8 of the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001. OTHER operating profit for the first half of 2001 included the previously noted gain from the sale of the Company's investment in Pacific Century. FINANCIAL CONDITION AND LIQUIDITY, FINANCING ARRANGEMENTS AND WORKING CAPITAL Liquid Resources: The Company's principal liquid resources, comprising cash and cash equivalents, receivables, sugar and coffee inventories and unused lines of credit, less accrued deposits to the Capital Construction Fund, totaled $499,348,000 at June 30, 2002, a decrease of $28,508,000 from December 31, 2001. This net decrease was due primarily to $33,000,000 in higher drawn balances on variable rate facilities (including both short and long-term facilities) following the payment of federal income taxes related to the December 2001 bank stock sales, and lower cash balances, partially offset by higher receivables of $11,900,000 and agricultural inventories that were $7,700,000 higher than at year-end 2001, due to seasonality of production cycles. Other Financing Arrangements: Other financing arrangements at the end of the second quarter included (1) a guarantee by Matson of $31,500,000 of debt of Sea Star, an unconsolidated affiliate, (2) a Company guarantee of up to $15,000,000 of debt of Hawaiian Sugar & Transportation Cooperative (HS&TC), a sugar marketing and transportation cooperative, under its $30 million revolving credit agreement, (3) performance bonds totaling $6,640,000, and (4) standby letters of credit totaling $20,449,000. These amounts are not recorded on the Company's balance sheet and, based on the Company's current knowledge, it is not expected that the Company or its subsidiaries will be called upon to advance funds under these commitments. It is expected that the Sea Star debt guarantee will be reduced, over time, following the previously noted change that reduced Matson's ownership interest in that venture. The performance bonds primarily are related to real estate construction projects in Hawaii. These bonds are required either by the state or county governments to ensure that certain infrastructure work required as part of real-estate development is completed as required. The Company has the financial ability and intention to complete these improvements. HS&TC's $30 million credit line is used primarily to fund purchases of raw sugar from the Hawaii growers and is fully secured by the inventory, receivables and transportation assets of the cooperative. The amount drawn by HS&TC under the facility is limited to 95% of its inventory value plus up to $15 million of its receivables. The Company's guarantee is limited to the lesser of $15,000,000 or the actual amounts drawn. Although the amount drawn by HS&TC on its credit line varies, as of June 30, 2002, the amount drawn was $15,750,000. The standby letters of credit include one letter of credit for $4,339,000 for workers' compensation claims incurred by C&H employees, under a now-closed self insurance plan, prior to December 25, 1998. The Company only would be called upon to honor this letter of credit in the event of C&H's insolvency. Working Capital: Working capital was $34,901,000 at June 30, 2002, an increase of $10,456,000 from the amount at the end of 2001. The higher working capital was due primarily to paying the federal income taxes (which were unusually high due to the gain realized from the December 2001 sale of the Company's BancWest Corporation holdings), higher trade receivables, higher agricultural products inventory, and lower trade payables, partially offset by lower cash balances and lower inventory of real estate available for sale due to sales of property. Cash Flows: Cash Flows used in Operating Activities were $7,496,000 for the first half of 2002 compared with Cash Flows from Operating Activities of $76,929,000 for the first half of 2001. This decline of $84.4 million was due principally to the timing of payments for taxes ($38.4 million that, in large part, resulted from the December 2001 sale of the Company's stock in BancWest Corporation), changes in accounts and notes receivable ($20.8 million), and the timing of sales and expenditures for real estate development projects that are classified as a current asset as Real Estate Held for Sale ($14.4 million). OTHER MATTERS Significant Accounting Policies: The Company's significant accounting policies are described in Note 1 of the 2001 consolidated financial statements included in Item 8 of the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001. There have been no changes to the policies since that filing. Significant Estimates: The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. The more significant of these include (1) assumptions underlying the calculation of pension, post-retirement, and non-qualified benefit obligations and costs, (2) assumptions underlying the carrying value of investments, (3) the estimation of allowances for doubtful accounts, (4) the estimation of liabilities for self insurance programs, (5) the calculation and classification of tax obligations and provisions prior to completion of tax returns and completion of taxing authority audits, (6) the application of cost accounting methods for sugar, molasses and coffee inventory and cost of sales, (7) depreciable lives and salvage values for fixed assets, (8) liabilities for environmental assessments and remedial efforts, (9) estimates of joint venture earnings or losses prior to the issuance of final annual joint venture financial statements, (10) accruals for obligations incurred but not yet billed to the Company, (11) recoverability of claims from losses under insurance coverage, and (12) value of securities held in the Capital Construction Fund and in the Company's pension plans. The Company believes that the methods it uses to determine these estimated amounts are in compliance with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied. Charter Agreement: Matson and American President Lines, Ltd. (APL), are parties to the Successor Alliance Slot Hire and Time Charter Agreement dated January 28, 1998 (Agreement). This Agreement provides the structure of an alliance through which Matson provides a weekly service to Guam. Pursuant to this eight-year Agreement, Matson time charters three C-9 class vessels to APL and APL reserves a designated number of container slots on each vessel for Matson's exclusive use. This Agreement generates revenue of approximately $2.9 million per month for Matson. Tax-Deferred Real Estate Exchanges: During the first half of 2002, the Company recorded, on a tax-deferred basis, real-estate sales of $39,474,000. The proceeds from these sales were immediately available for reinvestment in replacement property on a tax-deferred basis. The funds from these sales were held in escrow, pending future use to purchase new real estate assets. These amounts are not included in "Cash Flows from Operating Activities" and "Capital Expenditures," but are reported under the caption "Other Non-cash Information" in the Condensed Statements of Cash Flows. There were two purchases during the first half of 2002 that utilized $38,584,000 of these escrowed funds. Composition of Property Sales: The mix of property sales in any year or quarter can be diverse. Sales can include developed residential real estate, commercial properties, developable subdivision lots, undeveloped land and property sold under threat of condemnation. The sale of undeveloped land and vacant parcels in Hawaii generally provides a greater contribution to earnings than does the sale of developed and commercial property, due to the low historical-cost basis of the Company's Hawaii land. Consequently, property sales revenue trends, cash flows from the sales of real estate and the amount of real estate held for sale on the balance sheets do not necessarily indicate future profitability trends for this segment. The reporting of property sales is also affected by the classification of certain property sales as discontinued operations. Accounting for and Classification of Discontinued Operations: The Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets," on January 1, 2001. This standard requires the classification of the sales of certain income-producing assets as discontinued operations if the operations and cash flows of the assets can be clearly distinguished from the remaining assets of the Company, if the cash flows for the assets have been, or will be, eliminated from the ongoing operations of the Company, if the Company will not have a significant continuing involvement in the operations of the assets sold and if the amount is considered material. Certain assets that are "held for sale," based on the likelihood and intention of selling the property within 12 months, are also treated as discontinued operations. Sales of land and residential houses are generally considered inventory and are not included in discontinued operations. Revenue and operating profit in the Industry Segment Data for the property development and management segment include operating results and gains from properties sold and property classified as "held for sale," that are reported as discontinued operations, since this is how management views and evaluates this business segment. These amounts are subtracted in deriving total revenue and operating profit and are shown, net of tax, under the caption "Discontinued Operations: Properties." The Company intends to continue its practice of reinvesting the proceeds from the sales of investment property into new income-earning property using tax-deferred exchanges. New Accounting Standards: SFAS No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets" became effective and was adopted by the Company on January 1, 2002. This statement addresses how intangible assets, including goodwill, should be accounted for in the consolidated financial statements. The adoption of the standard had no material effect on the Company's financial statements. SFAS No. 143, "Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations" becomes effective in January 2003. This statement addresses accounting and reporting for obligations and costs which will occur when long-term assets are retired. Among other things, the statement requires that the present value of the liability associated with future asset retirements be recorded on the balance sheet when an obligation has been incurred and when it can be measured. The amortization of the capitalized cost and increases in the present value of the obligation which result from the passage of time, are recorded as charges to earnings. The possible financial impacts of this standard, when it is adopted by the Company in January 2003, are not yet known, but are being assessed. In April 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 145, "Rescission of FASB Statements No. 4, 44 and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections." SFAS No. 4 addressed how gains and losses from extinguishment of debt should be reported. SFAS No. 64 made certain exceptions to SFAS No. 4 for sinking fund payments. SFAS No. 44 established accounting requirements for the transition effects of the Motor Carrier Act of 1980. These three standards were entirely rescinded. SFAS No. 145 also made technical corrections to 17 APB Opinions, FASB Statements, FASB Interpretations and FASB Technical Bulletins. None of these changes will significantly affect the Company's accounting or reporting practices. In June 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities," which addresses accounting for restructuring and similar costs. SFAS No. 146 supersedes previous accounting guidance, principally Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 94-3. The Company will adopt the provisions of the new standard for restructuring activities initiated after December 31, 2002. The standard requires that the liability for costs associated with an exit or disposal activity be recognized when the liability is incurred. Under Issue 94-3, a liability for an exit cost was recognized at the date of the Company's commitment to an exit plan. SFAS No. 146 also establishes that the liability initially should be measured and recorded at fair value. Accordingly, this may affect the timing of recognizing future restructuring costs as well as the amounts recognized. Additional information about the impacts of newly issued accounting standards is discussed in Item 8 of the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001. Pensions: As noted in Item 8 of the Company's 2001 Form 10-K, the Company has realized earnings benefits from pension returns and the excess of pension assets over pension obligations. For 2001, the total year benefit was approximately $12.7 million. For 2002, the Company expects that the full year benefit will be approximately $1.4 million. Environmental Matters: As with most industrial and land-development companies of its size, the Company's operations have certain risks, which could result in expenditures for environmental remediation. The Company believes that it is in compliance, in all material respects, with applicable environmental laws and regulations, and works proactively to identify potential environmental concerns. The Company has received a claim for reimbursement of environmental remediation costs associated with a sugar refinery site previously owned by California and Hawaiian Sugar Company that was sold in 1994. The resolution of this claim is not expected to have a material effect on the Company's financial results. Management believes that appropriate liabilities have been accrued for environmental matters. Economic Conditions: Recent statistical reports on Hawaii's economy have been, for the most part, moderately favorable. Visitor-days in the month of June, an important measure of economic contribution, rose above prior-year figures for only the second time since the events of 9/11; unemployment, which rose 0.3 percent in June to 4.5 percent, remained well (150 basis points) below the national rate of 6.0 percent; Hawaii's leading economic indicator (LEI), last reported in late May, rose sharply, only its second increase since July 2000. Visitors from Japan also have enjoyed greater purchasing power with the recent strengthening of the yen versus the U.S. dollar. In addition, total aircraft seats scheduled to be offered this summer to Hawaii actually would be slightly (0.8 percent) higher than last summer's capacity, with a 12.2 percent increase in the very important U.S. West area, the strongest source of the recovery in domestic travel to Hawaii. Interest-sensitive measures, such as residential home sales, also continue to be strong. The dollar volume of single-family and condominium sales on Oahu was up 20 percent in the first half of 2002 versus the first half of 2001. For the same period, single-family transactions rose 11 percent and the median price was up 11 percent, to $320,000. Condominium sales rose 16 percent, with the median price of $144,000 up eight percent. All of these reports, however, pre-dated the "melt-down" that took place in the U.S. equity market in mid-July 2002. It is unclear, therefore, what effect the resulting decrease in household wealth might have in the coming months on consumers' willingness to travel to Hawaii or to purchase real estate. As noted in previous filings, the outlook for A&B's businesses reflects, in large measure, the outlook for the economy of Hawaii. In particular, Matson's cargo demand, especially for freight and for autos involved in the visitor rental-car trade, benefits from growth in visitor traffic and the resulting greater overall activity within Hawaii's business community. Similarly, leasing of A&B's commercial properties and residential sales also benefit from overall economic growth. Although we remain hopeful that the effects of the decline in financial markets will be modest and short-lived, the outlook now is less positive and more uncertain than earlier this year. Assuming that visitor trends do improve as the year progresses, A&B's core operations also should improve. Management Changes: On July 1, 2002, the following management changes occurred at Matson: - W. Allen Doane, president and chief executive of Alexander & Baldwin, Inc. and, previously, vice chairman of the board of Matson, was appointed chairman. - C. Bradley Mulholland, previously president and chief executive officer of Matson, was appointed vice chairman of its board, reporting to W. Allen Doane. - James S. Andrasick, executive vice president and chief financial officer of A&B, was appointed to additional duties as president and chief executive officer of Matson, on an interim basis, also reporting to W. Allen Doane. - Raymond L. Smith, chief operating officer of Matson, left the company. - Paul E. Stevens, previously senior vice president (ocean services) of Matson, was promoted to executive vice president. ITEM 3.

SUPPORT AND TRAINING AGREEMENT VESSEL CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT THIS VESSEL CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT (this "Contract"), is entered into as of this 29th day of May, 2002, by and between MATSON NAVIGATION COMPANY, INC., a corporation organized under the laws of the State of Hawaii (hereinafter called the "Purchaser"), and KVAERNER PHILADELPHIA SHIPYARD INC., a corporation organized under the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania (hereinafter called the "Contractor"). WITNESSETH: WHEREAS: The Contractor entered into that certain shipbuilding contract dated April 18, 2002, (the "KSI Shipbuilding Contract"), with Kvaerner Shipholding, Inc., an affiliate of the Contractor ("KSI"), pursuant to which the Contractor agreed to sell to KSI one container vessel of the Contractor's Philadelphia CV 2600 design, designated as Hull 001 ("Hull 001"); WHEREAS: The Purchaser and KSI have negotiated a purchase and sale agreement, to be executed the date hereof (the "Purchase Agreement"), pursuant to which the Purchaser has agreed to purchase Hull 001 from KSI upon its delivery from the Contractor to KSI; WHEREAS: The Contractor has begun construction of a second container vessel of the Contractor's Philadelphia CV 2600 design, designated as Hull 002; and WHEREAS: The Purchaser desires to purchase from the Contractor and the Contractor desires to sell to the Purchaser Hull 002 upon its completion. NOW THEREFORE: In consideration of the mutual premises and covenants herein contained, and other good and valuable consideration, the adequacy and receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows: ARTICLE I. GENERAL STATEMENT OF WORK (a) The Contractor shall furnish all plant, facilities, labor, materials, supplies and equipment, and shall perform all work necessary to design, construct, launch, outfit, test and deliver one (1) Philadelphia CV 2600 type container vessel for operation under the U.S. flag and in the U.S. coastwise trade (hereinafter the "Vessel"), to be identified as Hull 002, at its own risk and expense, in strict accordance with the Plans and Specifications referred to in ARTICLE II hereof, and shall do everything required of the Contractor by this Contract and the Plans and Specifications, including the development of working plans and the installation of any Purchaser's Supplies that the Plans and Specifications provide shall be furnished by the Purchaser, all for the consideration set forth in paragraph (a) of ARTICLE III below for , including the spare parts specifically identified in the Specifications, together with such additions and subject to such deductions as are herein provided (hereinafter called the "Contract Price"). (i) The Contractor shall arrange with the American Bureau of Shipping (hereinafter the "Classification Society") for the assignment by the Classification Society of a representative or representatives (hereinafter referred to as the "Classification Surveyor") to the Vessel during construction. All fees and charges incidental to classification and compliance with the Classification Society class requirements as required under this Contract, including all fees and charges relating to the Alternative Compliance Program with the United States Coast Guard (hereinafter referred to as "USCG"), unless otherwise specified, shall be for the account of the Contractor. Prior to the construction of the respective parts of the Vessel the Contractor shall submit to the Classification Society and obtain all necessary approvals of the plans and drawings related to the construction of the Vessel. The Contractor shall promptly furnish to the Purchaser copies of all correspondence with the Classification Society.

The Classification Society, the USCG and all government and other departments or agencies (both domestic and international) having jurisdiction over the contract work, the Shipyard, the Vessel or whose certificates are required for operation of the Vessel in the international and domestic trades of the United States of America are hereinafter collectively called the "Regulatory Bodies." (b) The Vessel shall be constructed at the Contractor's plant or shipyard (hereinafter called the "Shipyard"), located at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. When the work on the Vessel is complete or substantially complete in accordance with this Contract and the Vessel has passed the tests required by this Contract, the Vessel as completed or substantially completed shall be delivered by the Contractor and accepted by the Purchaser alongside a safe and accessible pier at the Shipyard, where there must be sufficient water for the Vessel always to be afloat and during egress from the berth, custom to the contrary notwithstanding, free and clear of all liens, security interests, and claims of every nature, excepting, however, those in favor of a claimant, other than the Contractor, arising out of the acts or omissions of the Purchaser,with not less than ten (10) days prior written notice to the Purchaser of such delivery. Upon such delivery, the Contractor shall furnish to the Purchaser a Builder's Certification (U.S. Coast Guard Form 1261), a bill of sale and a Certificate of Freedom from Liens in the form of Exhibit D hereto, and the Contractor and the Purchaser shall execute a Delivery Certificate in the form of Exhibit A accepting the Vessel and the Purchaser shall, within ten (10) days thereafter, remove or cause the Vessel to be removed from the Shipyard. Delivery and Acceptance by the Purchaser of the Vessel shall be expressly conditioned upon (i) the Purchaser's rights under ARTICLE XVIII of this Contract, and (ii) the Purchaser's right to completion by the Contractor thereafter of any uncompleted contract work and correction by the Contractor of any defective contract work as shown in the Delivery Certificate in accordance with ARTICLE XVII below. (c) As used in this Contract, the term "substantially complete" shall mean complete except for minor items not affecting the commercial utility and safe operation of the Vessel and not violating any requirement of a Regulatory Body. Unless waived by the Purchaser, in the Purchaser's sole discretion, the Vessel shall not be deemed to be "substantially complete" if a delivery deficiency will require the Vessel to be taken out of service prior to the Vessel's regular maintenance schedule or if the aggregate value of such delivery deficiencies is in excess of SIX HUNDRED AND TWENTY-FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS ($625,000.00). (d) The work on the Vessel shall be prosecuted with due diligence, and delivery of the Vessel shall be made to the Purchaser on or before April 30, 2004 (such date, as modified pursuant to paragraph (e) of this ARTICLE I, ARTICLE IV and ARTICLE VI, hereinafter called the "Contract Delivery Date") The Contractor shall promptly notify the Purchaser in writing if, at any time during the performance of the contract work, the Contractor's Master Production Schedule (referred to in paragraph (d) of ARTICLE XIV hereof) estimates that the actual delivery date of the Vessel will differ from the Contract Delivery Date by more than five (5) days, and in any event shall notify the Purchaser not less than one hundred fifty (150) days, one hundred twenty (120), one hundred (100) days, sixty (60) days, thirty (30) days and ten (10) days prior to the estimated delivery date provided for in such schedule. (e) The Contractor, in its sole discretion, may accelerate the Contract Delivery Date set forth in paragraph (d) above by providing written notice to the Purchaser. If the Contractor accelerates the Contract Delivery Date pursuant to this paragraph (e), such new date shall become the Contract Delivery Date for the purposes of determining liquidated damages pursuant to ARTICLE XXI and the Purchaser's right to terminate this Contract pursuant to ARTICLE XXII. To the extent that any of the Purchaser's obligations under this Contract are based on the Contract Delivery Date, Purchaser's fulfillment of such obligations will be extended as reasonably required by the Purchaser with reference to the original Contract Delivery Date and the Contractor's proposed adjustment; provided, there shall be no such adjustment to the Purchaser's obligation to make the Delivery Payment, as provided in this Contract, on the Contract Delivery Date. (f) Fourteen (14) days prior to the projected delivery of the Vessel, employees of the Purchaser and the Purchaser's contractors or agents shall be entitled to access to the Vessel to engage in such activities and perform such work as the Purchaser may specify and to familiarize the crew with the Vessel and to provision the Vessel; provided that the Purchaser's activities shall not (i) interfere with any work being performed by the Contractor or (ii) contravene any collective bargaining agreement of the Contractor. (g) To the extent the Plans and Specifications referred to in ARTICLE II require without limitation work, trials, spares, materials or equipment to be furnished to the "first vessel," the parties agree that such work, trials, spares, material or equipment shall be furnished to Hull 001 under the Purchase Agreement. Where any work, trials, spares, material or equipment is to be furnished to one vessel only, but it is not clear if it is Hull 001 or Hull 002, the parties will agree on which vessel is to receive same. ARTICLE II. PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS, INTERPRETATION (a) The Specifications for the construction of the Vessel, entitled "SPECIFICATION - PHILADELPHIA CV2600," Document number 001 0101 80 202 Version F, dated and initialed by the parties on April 19, 2002 and May 16, 2002, and the related Plans identified therein and initialed by the parties on April 19, 2002 are hereby made a part of this Contract with the same force and effect as though herein set out in full (herein the "Plans and Specifications"). (b) If any discrepancy, difference or conflict exists between the provisions of this Contract and the Plans and Specifications, then to the xtent of such discrepancy, difference or conflict only, the Plans and Specifications shall be ineffectual and the provisions of this Contract shall prevail; provided, however, any work called for by the Specifications in addition to that specified in the Contract shall be performed by the Contractor as part of the contract work, but in all other respects the Plans and Specifications shall be in full force and effect. If there is any discrepancy, difference or conflict between the Plans and the Specifications, then to the extent of such discrepancy, difference or conflict the Specifications shall prevail; provided, however, any work called for by the Specifications and not shown on the Plans and any work shown on the Plans but not called for in the Specifications shall be performed by the Contractor as a part of the contract work. Any discrepancy, difference or conflict between the Plans and Specifications and the provisions of this Contract and any discrepancy, difference or conflict between the Plans and the Specifications themselves discovered by one party to this Contract shall be brought to the attention of the other party promptly in writing. ARTICLE III. CONTRACT PRICE AND PAYMENT (a) The Contract Price with respect to the Vessel shall be NINETY-SEVEN MILLION DOLLARS ($97,000,000); provided, if the Purchaser waives its right to cancel this Contract pursuant to ARTICLE XXII hereof and its right to cancel the Purchase Agreement pursuant to Article XI thereof, before December 31, 2002, the Contract Price for the Vessel shall be NINETY-FOUR MILLION DOLLARS ($94,000,000). (b) The Contract Price with respect to the Vessel shall be paid upon delivery of the Vessel by wire transfer to an account specified by the Contractor (the "Delivery Payment"); provided that the Delivery Payment shall be subject to (i) deferral of payment of the amounts stated on the Delivery Certificate to be withheld in accordance with ARTICLE XVII; (ii) the holdback described in paragraph (j) of ARTICLE XVIII; (iii) disputed amounts deposited in escrow pursuant to paragraph (d) of this ARTICLE III, and (iv) less any reduction in the Contract Price pursuant to ARTICLE XXI hereof. (c) In the event that an increase or decrease in the Contract Price due to a change is not finally determined prior to delivery of the Vessel, appropriate adjustment of any overpayments or underpayments shall be made promptly upon final determination of the increase or decrease after such delivery. (d) To the extent that there is a dispute with respect to the amount that the Contractor owes to the Purchaser for liquidated damages pursuant to ARTICLE XXI of this Contract or the amount that the Purchaser owes the Contractor for changes pursuant to ARTICLE IV hereof, or any other amounts alleged to be owed by either party pursuant to this Contract, such disputed amounts shall be placed into an interest-bearing escrow account (the "Disputes Escrow Account") prior to the delivery of the Vessel and released to the appropriate party upon resolution of such dispute pursuant to this Contract. In the case of liquidated damages, the Purchaser shall deduct from the Delivery Payment the amount of liquidated damages it is seeking from the Contractor and deposit such amount into the Disputes Escrow Account. With respect to disputed amounts resulting from changes, the Purchaser shall make a deposit into the Disputes Escrow Account equal to the amount that the Contractor is seeking from the Purchaser for the changes. The accrued interest from the Disputes Escrow Account shall be distributed pro rata between the parties based on the final distribution of the amounts held in the Disputes Escrow Account. Provided that the Purchaser has complied with the provisions of this paragraph (d), the Contractor shall not delay or refuse delivery of the Vessel by reason of any disputes with respect to such amounts. (e) All amounts payable by either party under this Contract, which are not paid within the time period specified, shall bear interest from the date on which such payment should have been paid until paid or credited in full, to the extent legally enforceable, at the one-month LIBOR Rate charged by Wells Fargo Bank, National Association. The "one-month LIBOR rate" is a base rate that Wells Fargo Bank, National Association from time to time establishes and which serves as the basis upon which effective rates of interest are calculated for those loans making reference thereto. Each change in the one-month LIBOR Rate shall become effective at 12:01 a.m. on the day such change becomes effective. (f) Concurrently with the execution of this Contract, the Contractor will deliver to the Purchaser the Contract Guarantee, in the form of Exhibit B attached hereto (the "Contract Guarantee"), of Kvaerner ASA (in its capacity as guarantor, hereinafter the "Guarantor") pursuant to which the Guarantor guarantees (i) repayment of all amounts paid by Purchaser to the Contractor pursuant to this Contract, and (ii) performance of the Contractor's obligations under this Contract through the Guarantee Period (as defined in ARTICLE XVIII hereof) for the Vessel. (g) The Purchaser agrees that prior to the waiver, exercise or expiration of its cancellation rights under ARTICLE XXII, it will not enter into any agreement for the construction of one container vessel required to fill the need for one such new vessel (which the Vessel would fulfill) in its current fleet replacement program. ARTICLE IV. CHANGES (a) The Contractor shall not, except as provided in paragraph (b) of ARTICLE II, depart from the requirements of the Plans and Specifications or make any other changes in the contract work required by the Plans and Specifications without all prior authorization required by the provisions of this ARTICLE IV. (b) For purposes of this ARTICLE IV, changes in contract work shall be classified as either "essential" changes or "non-essential" changes. "Essential Changes" shall consist of changes in the contract work due to an action of any of the Regulatory Bodies as set forth in paragraph (a)(iii) of ARTICLE XIII or due to any other promulgation of a new law or rule which renders it illegal to own or operate the unchanged Vessel. All other changes shall be "Non-essential Changes." (c) (i) The Contractor shall be entitled to a fair and reasonable adjustment in the Contract Price and Contract Delivery Dates relating to any Essential Change or Non-essential Change performed hereunder. Upon receipt of the Purchaser's written direction for a change, the Contractor shall submit within fifteen (15) days to the Purchaser a "rough-order-of-magnitude" ("ROM") estimate of the net increase or decrease in the Contract Price and the effect on the Contract Delivery Date resulting from such change. (ii) As soon as practicable thereafter, but in no event more than fifteen (15) days after the submission of the ROM estimate except for good cause due to the nature of the change requested by the Purchaser, the Contractor shall provide the Purchaser with a detailed estimate for such hange, which estimate shall include the following: (A) the net increase or decrease in the Contract Price, including (1) a materials cost estimate complete with copies of material quotations valued at over $5,000 per item and with a ten percent (10%) mark-up for materials handling and administration, and (2) a labor man-hour estimate broken down by SFI at the one digit level and multiplied by the composite labor charge out rate (including burden, overhead and fees) for the relevant elements of engineering, planning and production labor cost, which rates as of the date hereof are attached hereto as Exhibit E and are subject to the provisions of subparagraph (iii) below; (B) the estimate of the impact on the Contract Delivery Date for the Vessel and the Contractor's Master Production Schedule, both in calendar days and to the contract and additional overhead (as appropriate); (C) the effect on weight, moments and centers; (D) the changes to the Vessel's speed, fuel consumption, deadweight and container capacity; (E) the effect of such change on the other terms and conditions of this Contract; and (F) a list of the plans and drawings affected by the proposed change. The foregoing hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Essential Terms." (iii) The composite labor rates set forth in Exhibit E attached hereto are subject to periodic adjustment by the Contractor not less than annually unless otherwise specified in a union contract. Such adjustments will be communicated to the Purchaser at which times the parties will execute an amendment to this Contract for the purposes of amending Exhibit E. (iv) The Purchaser shall accept or reject the detailed estimate within fifteen (15) days after receipt of such estimate. If the estimate is accepted, the Contractor shall prepare, and the Purchaser and the Contractor shall execute, a contract change using the form attached to this Contract and identified as Exhibit C, Contract Change (the "Contract Change") to amend the terms and conditions of this Contract with respect to such Essential Change or Non-essential Change. (d) The Purchaser shall have the right to direct the Contractor to perform an Essential Change, and the Contractor upon receipt of Purchaser's written direction shall commence the performance of the Essential Change at such time as the Purchaser may direct without regard to whether prior agreement has been reached as to the effect of the Essential Change on the Essential Terms. (e) The Purchaser shall have the right to propose to the Contractor in writing a Non-essential Change in the contract work, and the Contractor shall promptly review such proposal and provide the Purchaser with estimates relating to such change in accordance with the procedures described in paragraph (c) above. The Contractor's obligation to perform such Non-essential Change shall be as follows: (i) The Contractor shall perform such Non-essential Change, provided: (A) such change or an accumulation of such Non-essential Changes will not, in the Contractor's reasonable judgment, adversely affect the Contractor's planning or program in relation to the Contractor's other commitments; (B) prior to the expiration or waiver of the Purchaser's right to cancel this Contract pursuant to ARTICLE XXII, such change or an accumulation of such Non-essential Changes will not, in the Contractor's reasonable judgment, adversely affect the Contractor's ability to sell the Vessel to another party in the event that the Purchaser cancels the Contract pursuant to ARTICLE XXII; and (C) the parties agree on the effect of the Non-essential Change on the Essential Terms and execute a Contract Change with respect thereto. (ii) In the event that the parties are unable to agree as to the effect of the Non-essential Change on the Essential Terms pursuant to subparagraph (i) above, the Purchaser may direct the Contractor to perform a Non-essential Change without the prior agreement of the parties as to the effect of the Non-essential Change on the Essential Terms if such change will not, in the Contractor's reasonable estimate, cause a delay of more than thirty (30) days, or in the aggregate for all Non-essential Changes for which no agreement has been reached, of more than ninety (90) days, or that such Non-essential Change, in the aggregate with all other Non-essential Changes for which no agreement has been reached, will not cost, in the Contractor's reasonable estimate, more than SEVEN HUNDRED AND FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS ($750,000). (f) The Contractor shall have the right to propose to the Purchaser in writing any change in the contract work. The Contractor shall transmit to the Purchaser its proposed change accompanied by a detailed estimate containing the information provided in and in accordance with the procedures of paragraph (c), provided that nothing herein shall require the Purchaser to accept a change proposed by the Contractor. (g) In all cases where changes are proposed by the Purchaser but the proposals are subsequently withdrawn, the reasonable costs incurred by the Contractor in preparing an estimate of the net increase or decrease in the Contract Price and the probable delay in delivery shall be paid to the Contractor by the Purchaser; provided that where withdrawal of the proposal is due to good-faith failure to agree as to cost and delay attributable to the proposed change, the Contractor shall be entitled to recover only those reasonable costs in excess of FIVE-HUNDRED DOLLARS ($500). (h) In the event that the Purchaser has directed the Contractor to make an Essential Change pursuant to paragraph (d) or a Non-essential Change pursuant to paragraph (e) and the parties are unable to agree on the price and other Essential Terms of such change within thirty (30) days, the matter shall be settled in accordance with ARTICLE XXXII of this Contract, and the work on such Non-essential Change shall proceed during the pendency of the proceedings pursuant to ARTICLE XXXII, except as otherwise provided herein. ARTICLE V. RIGHTS OF PURCHASER WITH RESPECT TO ENGINEERING AND DESIGN DATA (a) All design and engineering data furnished to the Contractor by the Purchaser that are the property of the Purchaser shall remain the property of the Purchaser, and the Contractor undertakes therefore not to disclose the same or divulge any information contained therein to any third parties without the prior written consent of the Purchaser except where necessary for the construction of the Vessel. (b) Save as aforesaid and subject to ARTICLE XX, the Contractor shall retain all rights with respect to the Plans and Specifications, working drawings, technical descriptions, calculations, test results and other data, information and documents concerning the design and construction of the Vessel, and the Purchaser undertakes therefore not to disclose the same or divulge any information contained therein to any third parties without the prior written consent of the Contractor, except where necessary for the usual operation, repair, modification or maintenance of the Vessel.

(c) The Contractor shall not be entitled to any extension of the Contract Delivery Date (i) for any delay resulting from a cause of delay in existence as of the execution of this Contract (other than a cause of delay determined to be industry-wide), or (ii) for any delay resulting from the late performance or default of a subcontract (whether for delivery of machinery, equipment and supplies to be incorporated in the Vessel or otherwise) if such delay results from the continuation of a cause of delay in effect as of the date of the award of the subcontract where the Contractor had notice of such subcontractor's cause of delay prior to or at the time of such award (other than a cause of delay determined to be industry-wide). (d) Within thirty (30) days (or such longer period as may be allowed) after a cause of delay has ceased to exist, the Contractor shall furnish to the Purchaser a written statement of the actual or estimated delay in the completion of the contract work resulting from such cause. The documentation submitted by the Contractor to the Purchaser shall include documentation of the demonstrated effects of the delay on the most current schedule documents submitted to the Purchaser by the Contractor. The failure of the Contractor to give the required notices within the periods specified by paragraph (a) shall constitute a waiver by the Contractor of its right to seek an extension of the Contract Delivery Date as is provided in paragraph (a). (e) The granting of a time extension under this ARTICLE VI by reason of delays caused by the Purchaser shall not foreclose any other rights or remedies that the Contractor may have under this Agreement.

(c) All major items of the equipment and machinery incorporated in the Vessel and Hull 001 shall be of the same manufacture, except as otherwise provided in the Specification. (d) If the Purchaser elects to treat the Vessel as a qualified vessel for purposes of using its capital construction fund pursuant to Section 607 of the Merchant Marine Act, 1936, as amended, the Contractor will provide the Purchaser, promptly upon the Purchaser's written request, all documentation reasonably necessary to assist the Purchaser with such election. (e) If the Purchaser elects to finance the Vessel by using Title XI of the Merchant Marine Act, 1936, as amended, the Contractor will provide the Purchaser, promptly upon the Purchaser's written request, all documentation requested by the U. S. Maritime Administration that may be necessary to support a waiver request by the Purchaser under 46 CFR 298.13 (b) (2) (ii). ARTICLE XIV. INSPECTION-APPROVAL OF PLANS (a) The Vessel and the Shipyard shall at all times during working hours be subject to inspections by the Purchaser. All material and workmanship, unless otherwise designated by the Plans and Specifications or by this Contract, shall be subject to inspection by representatives of the Purchaser, representatives of the Regulatory Bodies having jurisdiction in the premises or the Vessel at any and all proper times during manufacture and/or construction at any and all places where such manufacture and/or construction are carried on; provided, however, the Contractor shall exercise reasonable efforts to schedule tests and, to the extent that they are scheduled by the Contractor, inspections between the hours of 7am and 6pm on workdays. Construction of Hull 002 has been inspected and approved prior to the date of this Contract by Barber Ship Management, Inc., which inspection shall not be repeated by the Purchaser, provided that the Contractor shall not be relieved of its responsibility under the last sentence of paragraph (e) of this ARTICLE XIV. (b) The Contractor shall furnish promptly, without additional charge, all reasonable facilities and materials, including suitably furnished offices (to be at least equivalent to the offices of the Contractor's employees of comparable responsibility) with light, heat and air conditioning, as required by climatic conditions, telephone, desks, drawing tables, and filing cabinets, necessary for the safe and convenient administration of the inspection and tests that may be reasonably required by the representatives of the Regulatory Bodies and as specified in the Plans and Specifications for the representatives of the Purchaser. (c) The Contractor represents and the Purchaser acknowledges that (i) construction of the Vessel has begun, (ii) with the exception of a few outstanding comments, all necessary plan approvals have been obtained from the Regulatory Bodies, and (iii) the Contract Price for the Vessel has been agreed on this basis. Attached hereto as Exhibit F is a list of Basic Design Drawings that have previously been submitted to the Regulatory Bodies for approval and the Purchaser for review, which are the "Approval Plans" referred to in Section G-17 of the Specification. The Purchaser may submit additional comments on such Approval Plans within forty-five (45) days of the date of this Contract. The Contractor shall implement all changes required by the Plans and Specifications without additional cost to the Purchaser. Any other comment, to the extent it requests a change in such Approval Plans, shall be treated as a request for a change under ARTICLE IV hereof. Any prior approval or acceptance of such Approval Plans by the Purchaser, or the failure to comment within the forty-five (45) day period referred to above, shall not relieve the Contractor from the liabilities specified in ARTICLE XVIII for deviations from any express requirement of the Plans and Specifications unless the Contractor has in writing called the Purchaser's attention to such deviations at the time of submission. The Purchaser also shall have the right to reasonably request copies of any working plans only for review and comment as to the conformity with the Plans and Specifications. (d) On or before the execution of this Contract, the Contractor shall have provided the Purchaser with a copy of the Master Production Schedule current as of the date hereof. The Contractor shall submit to the Purchaser any other schedules reasonably required by the Purchaser to keep the Purchaser informed as to the construction of the Vessel and the progress of construction. The Contractor shall update such schedules monthly, if possible, but in no event less than bi-monthly. (e) The Purchaser shall promptly approve all work and materials conforming to the requirements of this Contract and shall promptly reject all work and material not conforming to the requirements of this Contract. Rejected workmanship shall be satisfactorily corrected, and rejected material shall be satisfactorily replaced with proper material without charge therefor, unless such work or material shall have been furnished by the Purchaser, in which event the remedying of such defective work, or the replacing of such defective material, if done by the Contractor, shall be treated as a change under this Contract. The Contractor shall promptly segregate and remove the rejected material. The acceptance of such workmanship and materials shall not prejudice the rights of the Purchaser under ARTICLE XVIII hereof. Defects appearing in any stage of the work shall be cause for rejection even though the item in question may have previously been passed as satisfactory. (f) All inspection, tests, and approvals shall be performed in such a manner as not to delay the work unnecessarily and the Purchaser shall not conduct unreasonable repeat inspections. Inspections performed by the Purchaser shall not be a substitute for in-process control of quality by the Contractor. The Contractor is certified to ISO 9001-2000, and Exhibit G attached hereto describes the Contractor's Quality Assurance Program. The Contractor shall maintain its said Quality Assurance Program throughout the duration of this Contract. (g) The provisions of this ARTICLE XIV are subject to the provisions of other Articles of this Contract and Plans and Specifications relative to the trials, tests and acceptance of work done on the Vessel. ARTICLE XV. TRIALS (a) The Vessel shall have the dock trials and other trials and tests as set forth in the Plans and Specifications and in this Contract. The reasonably necessary expenses of such trials and tests shall be borne by the Contractor. (b) When the work on the Vessel is substantially complete, as required by this Contract, and when the Contractor shall have made sufficient trials at the dock to be reasonably sure of satisfactory performance under the requirements of this Contract, the Vessel shall be subject to trials at sea to test it and its power as prescribed by the Plans and Specifications and this Contract. (c) Arrangements will be made so as to obtain specific data during the trials that are required to determine compliance with this Contract and the Plans and Specifications. At a reasonable time, but no less than sixty (60) days before the Vessel is ready for trial, the Contractor shall submit a schedule and description of trials to the Purchaser for approval by the Purchaser. (d) The Purchaser shall have the right to have authorized representatives, employees, inspectors and any other person reasonably designated by the Purchaser present at all sea trials. ARTICLE XVI. ADDITIONAL TRIALS-EXPENSES If at and upon trials required by the Plans and Specifications and by this Contract there shall be any failure of the Vessel to meet the requirements of this Contract, the Contractor shall, after corrective action is taken, be required to make further trials sufficient in number reasonably to demonstrate compliance with the Plans and Specifications and this Contract. The costs of all additional trials required by this ARTICLE XVI shall be borne by the Contractor, except that with regard to any trials made necessary by failure or malfunction upon prior trial of equipment or machinery furnished by the Purchaser, the Purchaser shall bear the cost of such additional trials. ARTICLE XVII. POST-TRIAL INSPECTION-ACCEPTANCE AND DAMAGES After the trials required by this Contract or by the Plans and Specifications have been completed, the Vessel shall be returned to the Shipyard, and in cases where the performance is in question, in accordance with the equipment vendor's recommendations or required by the Regulatory Bodies, the machinery shall be opened up for post-trial inspection and examination. If the requirements and conditions hereof shall, upon the trials mentioned, be fulfilled, the Vessel shall be accepted subject to the provisions of ARTICLE XVIII hereof. If any defects, deficiencies or non-conformance with the Plans or Specifications or damage due to such defects or deficiencies or non-conformance with the Plans or Specifications appear in the work performed by the Contractor, or in the materials and equipment supplied by the Contractor, the defects, deficiencies, non-conformance with the Plans or Specifications or damage shall be corrected by and at the expense of the Contractor after which the machinery shall be closed and connected, ready for service; provided, however, that if the requirements, conditions and guarantees of this Contract shall not be met, the parties may stipulate money damages in lieu of performance by the Contractor, or the Purchaser may accept delivery subject to completion or correction of all incomplete or defective contract work listed by the Purchaser in the Delivery Certificate with an appropriate holdback from the Delivery Payment for the Vessel to cover the work, provided that any amount held back by the Purchaser that is disputed by the Contractor shall be deposited in the escrow account pursuant to paragraph (d) of ARTICLE III. Prior to delivery all oily water wastes, pumpable sludge and any sludge beyond the amount reasonably expected to be present under the circumstances shall be removed from the Vessel by the Contractor at the Contractor's expense. ARTICLE XVIII. GUARANTEE-PERIOD LIABILITY FOR DEFECTIVE WORK OR MATERIAL (a) Notwithstanding any inspection or failure to reject by the Purchaser or any of the applicable Regulatory Bodies pursuant to ARTICLES XIV through XVII of this Contract, if at any time within twelve (12) months after delivery of the Vessel (the "Guarantee Period") there shall appear or be discovered, any weakness, any defect, any deficiency, any failure, any breaking down or deterioration in design, workmanship or material furnished by the Contractor in performing the contract work, or any failure of any equipment, machinery or material, so furnished by the Contractor, to function as prescribed and as intended by the Plans and Specifications and this Contract (herein called a "Guarantee Deficiency"), such Guarantee Deficiency shall be made good, at the Contractor's expense, to the requirements of the Plans and Specifications and this Contract; provided, however, the Contractor shall not be responsible for the cost of correcting any such Guarantee Deficiency to the extent that such Guarantee Deficiency resulted from the Purchaser's specific written direction (including Plans and Specifications furnished by Purchaser) later found to result in a Guarantee Deficiency (but only if the Contractor gave the Purchaser written notice that such specific direction was technically improper) nor to the extent that it is due to ordinary wear and tear, nor to the extent increased by the negligence or other improper act of the Purchaser or any operator of the Vessel or of any other person other than the Contractor or its subcontractors during said period. In the event that the Vessel is prevented from entering or is taken out of service as a result of a Guarantee Deficiency, then the Guarantee Period shall be extended by the period of time that the Vessel is out of service for such reason. In the event that repairs or correction of a Guarantee Deficiency are completed within ninety (90) days of the expiration of the Guarantee Period, the Guarantee Period shall be extended with respect to such item for a period of ninety (90) days from the date of completion of repairs or corrections of the Guarantee Deficiency. (b) The liability of the Contractor to the Purchaser under this Contract on account of any Guarantee Deficiency shall not extend beyond the actual repair or replacement thereof at straight time commercial shipyard or ship repair yard rates including the cost of the drydocking and dockage of the Vessel, if necessary, and any tariffs, imposts or levies incurred in connection therewith, plus the actual cost of any investigation by the Purchaser or any subcontractor required to determine the cause of a Guarantee Deficiency including, without limitation, the cost of repair parts, material, testing, and any charges or expenses reasonably incurred by the Purchaser in connection therewith. The Contractor shall not be liable to the Purchaser for any damage to the Vessel or its equipment or cargo or other property of the Purchaser or for consequential damages of the Purchaser arising out of any such Guarantee Deficiency, except that in the event any Guarantee Deficiency in any item of machinery or equipment furnished by the Contractor or in the event that any workmanship or material furnished by the Contractor in performance of work upon any of the Vessel's machinery or equipment, gives rise to a Guarantee Deficiency causing any damage to such items of machinery or equipment, the Contractor shall be liable not only for the cost of correcting or repairing such Guarantee Deficiency, but also shall be liable for the cost of correcting or repairing such damage to such item of machinery or equipment caused by such Guarantee Deficiency. Any work required to be performed pursuant to the provisions of this ARTICLE XVIII shall be carried out, if practicable and at the Purchaser's option, at the Shipyard. The Contractor may, with the concurrence of the Purchaser, have such work performed by its subcontractor, another shipyard or repair facility. The Purchaser may, however, have such work performed by the vessel crew, or by a shipyard or ship repair yard at any port satisfactory to it and in that event the Contractor shall be liable to the Purchaser for the expense thereof at the straight time commercial shipyard or ship repair yard rates prevailing in such port areas, including the cost of dockage of the Vessel, if necessary. In all events, Purchaser shall bring the Vessel to the site where repairs are to be effected at its own cost. In the case of guaranty repairs made by the crew, the Purchaser shall make a reasonable effort to consult with the Contractor prior to making such repairs, and shall provide such documentation as reasonably requested by the Contractor to establish the nature of the deficiency. In any event, unless otherwise agreed, the Contractor shall be responsible only for the cost of materials and any necessary overtime labor cost incurred in the case of crew repairs, and the Contractor will not guaranty such repairs; provided, however, for any repair performed under the direction or supervision of the Contractor's guarantee engineer, the Contractor shall pay for the cost of materials and labor and shall continue to provide any guaranty required hereunder. (c) The Contractor shall assign the program manager or another designee for the Guarantee Period to supervise the Contractor's responsibilities under this ARTICLE in the correction and repair of Guarantee Deficiencies. The Contractor shall have an engineer on board the Vessel for at least ninety (90) days and, at its option, for the respective Guarantee Period who shall have full opportunity to observe and inspect the working of the Vessel in all its parts, but without any directing or controlling authority over the Vessel. In computing the Guarantee Period from the date of the Purchaser's acceptance of the completed Vessel, there shall be excluded any time the Vessel is prevented from entering or is taken out of service on account of any Guarantee Deficiency for which the Contractor is responsible, as herein provided. (d) The Purchaser shall notify the Contractor of any Guarantee Deficiencies or damage for which the Contractor is liable pursuant to paragraph (a) above, discovered or appearing within the Guarantee Period, within thirty (30) days of the end of such period or if the Vessel is at sea at the end of such period, within thirty (30) days of the end of the voyage. In the event the Purchaser proposes the repair or correction of such Guarantee Deficiency or damage before the Vessel reaches its next continental United States port, notice shall be given to the Contractor not later than five (5) days after the discovery of the Guarantee Deficiency or damage and before repair, otherwise notice shall be given five (5) days after the Vessel next reaches a continental United States port and before the Guarantee Deficiency or damage is repaired or corrected. Whenever practical (taking into consideration the necessity of keeping the Vessel on schedule) the Contractor shall be given an opportunity to inspect the Guarantee Deficiency or damage before it is remedied. (e) A final guarantee survey of the Vessel shall be conducted by the Purchaser at or near the expiration of the Guarantee Period. Such survey shall be based on the Guarantee Deficiencies in the contract work appearing or discovered during the Guarantee Period. In the event that the Vessel is not available for the guarantee survey on or before the end of the Guarantee Period, the Purchaser promptly shall submit to the Contractor a list of all of the Guarantee Deficiencies in the contract work appearing or discovered during the Guarantee Period and all damage for which the Contractor is liable under the provisions of this ARTICLE XVIII. The final guarantee survey shall be held at such port in the United States as the Purchaser designates and seven (7) days written notice of time and place for such guarantee survey shall be given to the Contractor by the Purchaser. (f) For the determination of any underwater Guarantee Deficiencies, the Purchaser, at the Purchaser's expense, may drydock the Vessel within twelve (12) months of the Vessel's delivery or within such longer period as is required by the Vessel's operating schedule. If the Vessel is drydocked after the twelve (12) month period, the Contractor's liability for Guarantee Deficiencies discovered on drydocking is limited to those Guarantee Deficiencies that arose in the Guarantee Period. In the event that the drydocking is postponed beyond the Guarantee Period, the Purchaser may continue to withhold from the payment of the Guarantee Holdback pursuant to paragraph (j) below an amount to be agreed upon by the parties, but in no case more than ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS ($150,000.00), unless there is reasonable evidence of underwater Guarantee Deficiencies that will require a greater holdback, which amount will be payable to the Purchaser for any drydocking Guarantee Deficiencies that are discovered and to the Contractor for any excess, upon the successful completion of the drydocking. In the event Guarantee Deficiencies are discovered in the course of the drydocking of the Vessel and such deficiencies are corrected, the Purchaser shall pay, as his expense, the haul day and any lay days required to accomplish the Vessel's normal drydocking maintenance; provided, however, that if a Guarantee Deficiency is discovered, the correction of which requires additional drydocking time, the Contractor, in addition to the cost of the correction of the Guarantee Deficiency, as provided in this ARTICLE XVIII, shall also pay, as its expense, for each additional drydocking lay day. If it becomes necessary to drydock the Vessel solely for the correction of a Guarantee Deficiency for which the Contractor is responsible, the cost of the entire drydocking required for the correction of the Guarantee Deficiency, as well as the cost of remedying the deficiency, as provided in this ARTICLE XVIII, shall be at the expense of the Contractor. (g) [intentionally not used] (h) At the end of the Guarantee Period, the Contractor agrees to transfer and assign to the Purchaser, as to any item of material installed in the Vessel, the guarantee rights of the Contractor against the vendor of such item of material where under the terms of such vendor's guarantee the vendor's obligations extend for a period beyond the Guarantee Period; provided that the Contractor may exclude from such assignment any rights against the vendor in favor of the Contractor for Guarantee Deficiencies and damages within the Guarantee Period. The Contractor shall advise the Purchaser of the terms of any such guarantees that are assigned to the Purchaser. (i) The liability of the Contractor for a Guarantee Deficiency and for any damage to the Vessel or to its cargo, resulting from any Guarantee Deficiency, as set out in this ARTICLE XVIII, is intended as the exclusive remedy of the Purchaser against the Contractor for any Guarantee Deficiency in the Vessel or any damage to the Vessel or to its cargo resulting from any such Guarantee Deficiency and replaces and excludes any other liability, guarantee, warranty and/or condition imposed by law, statutory or otherwise. THE CONTRACTOR MAKES NO FURTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS OF THE VESSEL, ITS MACHINERY OR EQUIPMENT FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. (j) The Purchaser may withhold ONE MILLION SEVEN HUNDRED AND FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS ($1,750,000) from the Delivery Payment (the "Guarantee Holdback"). At the time of the delivery of the Vessel, the Purchaser shall deposit the full amount of the Guarantee Holdback into an escrow account. The Purchaser shall pay to the Contractor the entire Guarantee Holdback, less any amount to cover any outstanding Guarantee Deficiency, upon completion of the Guarantee Period for the Vessel. Any amounts withheld beyond the end of the Guarantee Period pursuant to paragraph (g) above or this paragraph (j) shall be paid to the Contractor upon the correction of all Guarantee Deficiencies for which such amounts were withheld. Any dispute with respect to the disposition of the Guarantee Holdback shall be settled pursuant to ARTICLE XXXII of this Contract. ARTICLE XIX. DEFAULT OF PURCHASER (a) The Purchaser shall be deemed to be in default of performance of its obligations under this Contract in the following cases: (i) If the Purchaser fails to take delivery of the Vessel when the Vessel is duly tendered for delivery by the Contractor under the provisions of this Contract; or (ii) The Purchaser being dissolved or adjudged bankrupt or making a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or the appointment of a receiver of any kind whatsoever, whether or not appointed in bankruptcy, common law or equity proceedings, whether temporary or permanent, for the property of the Purchaser, or the filing by the Purchaser of a petition for reorganization or other proceedings with reference to the Purchaser, under the Bankruptcy Code of the United States or any similar law, state or federal or in any jurisdiction in which the Purchaser has assets or is registered to do business, or the filing of such petition of creditors and approval thereof by the courts, whether proposed by a creditor, a stockholder or any other person whatsoever, or the filing of an answer to such a petition admitting insolvency or inability to pay its debts. (b) If the Purchaser shall fail to take delivery of the Vessel as provided in paragraph (a) of this ARTICLE XIX, the Purchaser shall be deemed in default of payment of the Delivery Payment for the Vessel and shall pay interest thereon at the same rate as aforesaid from and including the day on which the Vessel is tendered for delivery by the Contractor. In any event of default by the Purchaser, the Purchaser shall also pay all reasonable charges and expenses incurred by the Contractor as a result thereof. (c) If any default by the Purchaser occurs as provided herein, the Contract Delivery Date shall be automatically postponed for a period of continuance of such default by the Purchaser. If any default by the Purchaser continues for a period of fifteen (15) days, the Contractor may, at its option, terminate this Contract by giving notice of such effect to the Purchaser in accordance with ARTICLE XXXIII hereof unless the Purchaser proceeds to the dispute resolution under the provisions of ARTICLE XXXII. Upon receipt by the Purchaser of such notice of termination, this Contract shall forthwith become null and void and any of the Purchaser's Supplies shall become the sole property of the Contractor. In the event of such termination of this Contract, the Contractor shall be entitled to retain any amounts theretofore paid by the Purchaser to the Contractor on account of this Contract. (d) In the event of termination of this Contract as above provided, the Contractor shall have full right and power either to complete or not to complete the Vessel, as it deems fit, and to sell the Vessel at a public or private sale on such terms and conditions as the Contractor thinks fit without being answerable for any loss or damage; provided that the Contractor shall give the Purchaser thirty (30) days' notice of the date of any such sale and the Contractor shall be bound in good faith to secure the best price obtainable and shall account for the proceeds and expenses as set forth below. (i) In the event of the sale of the Vessel in its completed state, the proceeds of the sale received by the Contractor shall be applied firstly to payment of all expenses attending such sale and otherwise incurred by the Contractor as a result of the Purchaser's default, and then to payment of the Contract Price and interest on the Contract Price at the rate provided in paragraph (e) of ARTICLE III. (ii) In the event of sale of the Vessel in its incomplete state, the proceeds of the sale received by the Contractor shall be applied firstly to payment of all expenses attending such sale and otherwise incurred by the Contractor as a result of the Purchaser's default, and then to payment of all costs of construction of the Vessel and compensation to the Contractor for a reasonable loss of profit due to the termination of this Contract. (iii) If the proceeds of sale are insufficient to pay such total amounts payable as aforesaid, the Purchaser shall promptly pay the deficiency to the Contractor upon request. ARTICLE XX. DEFAULT OF CONTRACTOR; ACTION BY THE PURCHASER UPON DEFAULT (a) The following shall constitute events of default of the Contractor under this Contract: (i) The failure of the Contractor to prosecute the contract work with such diligence and in such manner as will enable it to complete said work within 210 days after the Contract Delivery Date, except and to the extent that such failure is due to the causes stated in ARTICLE VI of this Contract for which the Contractor would be entitled to an extension of the Contract Delivery Date; provided that the Purchaser shall have given the Contractor notice of such failure and that the Contractor shall not, within fifteen (15) days of the date of receipt of such notice, have shown to the satisfaction of the Purchaser that it has taken steps sufficient to remedy the failure in a manner satisfactory to the Purchaser. (ii) The failure of the Contractor in any other respect to use due diligence in the performance of the contract work or its failure to perform any of the covenants, agreements or undertakings on its part to be performed under this Contract, including but not limited to, its agreement to make prompt payment for all labor, material, services and other charges which are to be paid by the Contractor; provided that the Purchaser shall give notice to the Contractor as to such failure, and the Contractor shall not, within fifteen (15) days after being so notified, correct any failure to use due diligence or undertake the performance of said covenants, undertakings or agreements required to cure such failure, and thereafter prosecute in good faith to completion all such work or performance required to cure such failure. (iii) The Contractor being dissolved or adjudged a bankrupt or making a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or the appointment of a receiver or receivers of any kind whatsoever, whether or not appointed in bankruptcy, common law or equity proceedings, whether temporary or permanent, for the property of the Contractor, or the filing by the Contractor of a petition for reorganization or other proceedings with reference to the Contractor, under any of the provisions of the Bankruptcy Code of the United States or any similar law, state or federal or in any jurisdiction in which the Contractor has assets or is registered to do business, or the filing of such petition by creditors and approval thereof by the Court, whether proposed by a creditor, a stockholder or any other person whatsoever, or the filing of an answer to such petition admitting insolvency or inability to pay its debts. (iv) any default by the Guarantor of its obligations under the Contract Guarantee; (v) any default by KWW of its obligations under the Support and Training Agreement that would have a materially adverse impact on the Contractor's ability to construct and deliver the Vessel pursuant to this Contract; or (vi) any default by the Contractor under the KSI Shipbuilding Contract or by KSI under the Purchase Agreement. (b) If any default by the Contractor continues for a period of fifteen (15) days, the Purchaser may, at its option, terminate this Contract by giving notice of such effect to the Contractor in accordance with ARTICLE XXXIII hereof, which termination shall be effective, without further act or deed, immediately upon the receipt of such notice provided, such termination shall not prevent either party from initiating proceedings pursuant to the provisions of ARTICLE XXXII with respect to any claim it may allege concerning rights and obligations under this Contract. The Purchaser, if it so elects, may, notwithstanding the pendency of any such proceedings under ARTICLE XXXII (i) require a refund of the full amount of all sums paid by the Purchaser to the Contractor on account of the Vessel and, at the Purchaser's option, the Contractor shall either purchase for their fair market value or return to the Purchaser all of the Purchaser's Supplies, or (ii) subject to the terms and conditions of the Standstill Agreement and the rights of the Lender, the Purchaser may elect to take possession of the Vessel and proceed to have all or part of the work on the Vessel completed and for such purpose (A) may take possession and use and occupy so much of the Contractor's Shipyard, plant, equipment, tools, machinery and appliances, as may be needed for such purposes, without the payment of any rental or other charge thereby to the Contractor and the Contractor shall assist the Purchaser for purposes of such completion or (B) the Purchaser may remove the Vessel, or any components thereof, and all materials and equipment appertaining thereto, to such other place as it may choose to complete the Vessel, or any such components. (c) In the event of termination under this ARTICLE, and if the Purchaser shall elect, subject to the terms and conditions of the Standstill Agreement and the rights of the Lender, to have all or part of the contract work completed for the Vessel, the Contractor shall (i) assure to the Purchaser such use and occupancy of the Shipyard and facilities and other property of the Contractor for such period of time as may be necessary for the completion of the contract work, (ii) assign such subcontracts and orders for material, services, and supplies to be used in the performance of said contract work to the Purchaser as the Purchaser may direct, and (iii) grant the Purchaser a license and provide the Purchaser with the originals or copies of all Plans and Specifications, working plans, technical data for the purpose of having the Vessel constructed. The Purchaser shall pay the Contractor the amount of the Contract Price for the Vessel so completed less the amount by which the total cost to the Purchaser of completing said work (including all amounts paid to the Contractor hereunder) exceeds the total Contract Price provided in this Contract, as adjusted hereunder, and upon such payment, title to the Vessel and all work and materials paid for in connection therewith shall vest in the Purchaser; provided, however, that in computing the amount, if any, to be offset from the Contract Price, appropriate adjustment shall be made for changes in the contract work subsequent to the termination of this Contract and for liquidated damages that otherwise would have been payable to the Purchaser pursuant to ARTICLE XXI, provided that payment of liquidated damages pursuant to paragraphs (b) through (e) thereof shall be limited to the work performed by the Contractor prior to the termination of the Contract. ARTICLE XXI. ADJUSTMENT OF CONTRACT PRICE AND TERMINATION FOR NON-PERFORMANCE The Contract Price shall be subject to adjustment, as hereinafter set forth, in the event of the following contingencies (it being understood by the parties that any reduction of the Contract Price is by way of liquidated damages and not by way of penalty): (a) Delivery: (i) No adjustment shall be made and the Contract Price shall remain unchanged for the first thirty (30) days of delay in delivery of the Vessel beyond the Contract Delivery Date as defined in ARTICLE I hereof (ending as of twelve o'clock midnight of the thirtieth (30th) day of delay). (ii) If the delivery of the Vessel is delayed more than thirty (30) days after the Contract Delivery Date, then, in such event, beginning at twelve o'clock midnight of the thirtieth day after the Contract Delivery Date, the Contract Price shall be reduced by deducting therefrom $20,000 per day. (iii) But, if the delay in delivery of the Vessel should continue for a period of one hundred and eighty (180) days from the thirty-first (31st) day after the Contract Delivery Date, then in such event, and after such period has expired, the Purchaser may at its option terminate this Contract in accordance with the provisions of paragraph (g) of this ARTICLE XXI. The Contractor may, at any time after the expiration of the aforementioned one hundred and eighty (180) days of delay in delivery, if the Purchaser has not served notice of termination as provided in paragraph (g) of this ARTICLE XXI, demand in writing that the Purchaser shall make an election, in which case the Purchaser shall, within fifteen (15) days after such demand is received by the Purchaser, notify the Contractor of its intention either to terminate this Contract or to consent to the acceptance of the Vessel at an agreed future date and with the reduction in the Contract Price determined in accordance with this ARTICLE; it being understood by the parties hereto that, if the Vessel is not delivered by such future date, the Purchaser shall have the same right of termination upon the same terms and conditions as hereinabove provided. (iv) If the Purchaser requests in writing that the delivery of the Vessel be made earlier than the Contract Delivery Date, and if the delivery of the Vessel is made in response to such request of the Purchaser, then, in such event, beginning with the first (1st) day prior to the Contract Delivery Date, the Contractor shall promptly furnish the Purchaser with an estimate of increased costs and other changes attributable to any such request in accordance with the procedures set forth in paragraph (c) of ARTICLE IV and action shall be taken as provided in such ARTICLE. In the event that a new Contract Delivery Date is established both payments and liquidated damages will be related to the new Contract Delivery Date. (b) Container Carrying Capacity (i) The design container capacity of the Vessel is 1441 containers under conditions according the Vessel's Container Stowage Plan 001 0315 80 401 Version H (typical loading). Should there be a deficiency in said container carrying capacity of a Vessel of more than 10 containers (independent of size), i.e. less than 1431 containers, the Contract Price shall be reduced with THIRTY THOUSAND DOLLARS ($30,000) per 20' and 24' container, SIXTY THOUSAND DOLLARS ($60,000) per 40' and 45' container, and EIGHTY THOUSAND DOLLARS ($80,000) per refrigerated container in accordance with the agreed stowage plan short of 1431 containers. (ii) Should the container carrying capacity be reduced by more than fifty (50) containers, then the Purchaser may, at its option, reject the Vessel and terminate this Contract in accordance with the provisions of paragraph (g) of this ARTICLE XXI, or may accept the Vessel at a reduction in the Contract Price as specified above. (c) Deadweight: (i) The Contract Price shall not be affected or changed by reason of the actual deadweight of the Vessel as determined in accordance with the Specification if the difference is less than 300 metric tonnes of the 29400 metric tonnes guaranteed deadweight of the Vessel. (ii) However, in the event that the deficiency in the actual deadweight of the Vessel as determined in accordance with the Specification is more than 300 metric tonnes of the guaranteed deadweight of the Vessel, the Contract Price shall be reduced by the sum of ONE THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS ($1,500.00) for each full metric ton of such deficiency being more than 300 metric tonnes (disregarding fractions of one (1) metric tonnes). (iii) In the event of such deficiency in the actual deadweight of the Vessel being 1000 metric tonnes or more, then, the Purchaser may, at its option, reject the Vessel and terminate this Contract in accordance with the provisions of paragraph (g) of this ARTICLE XXI or accept the Vessel at a reduction in the Contract Price as specified above.

To the extent that any of Purchaser's obligations under this Agreement are based on the Delivery Date, Purchaser's fulfillment of such obligations will be extended as reasonably required by Purchaser with reference to the original Delivery Date and Seller's proposed adjustment; provided, there shall be no such adjustment to Purchaser's obligation to make the Delivery Payment, as provided in this Agreement, on the Delivery Date.

APPROVALS BY REGULATORY BODIES. Seller shall cause the Builder to arrange with the USCG for all necessary plan approvals and for the inspection of the Vessel by representatives of USCG during construction of the Vessel at the Shipyard.

SECTION 3.3. ESCROW ACCOUNT. To the extent that there is a dispute with respect to the amount that Seller owes to Purchaser for liquidated damages pursuant to Section 6.1 of this Agreement or the amount that Purchaser owes Seller for changes pursuant to Article VI hereof, or any other amounts alleged to be owed by either party pursuant to this Agreement, such disputed amounts shall be placed into an interest-bearing escrow account (the "Disputes Escrow Account") prior to the delivery of the Vessel and released to the appropriate party upon resolution of such dispute pursuant to this Agreement. In the case of liquidated damages, Purchaser shall deduct from the Delivery Payment the amount of liquidated damages it is seeking from Seller and deposit such amount into the Disputes Escrow Account. With respect to disputed amounts resulting from changes, Purchaser shall make a deposit into the Disputes Escrow Account equal to the amount that Seller is seeking from Purchaser for the changes.

The Seller represents and Purchaser acknow- ledges that (i) construction of the Vessel has begun, (ii) with the exception of a few outstanding comments, all necessary plan approvals have been obtained from the Regulatory Bodies, and (iii) the Purchase Price for the Vessel has been agreed on this basis. Attached hereto as Exhibit B is a list of Basic Design Drawings that have previously been submitted to the Regulatory Bodies for approval and Purchaser for review, which are the "Approval Plans" referred to in Section G-17 of the Plans and Specifications. The Purchaser may submit additional comments on such Approval Plans within forty-five (45) days of the date of this Agreement. The Seller shall cause the Builder to implement all changes required by the Plans and Specifications without additional cost to Purchaser. Any other comment, to the extent it requests a change in such Approval Plans, shall be treated as a request for a change under Article V hereof. Any prior approval or acceptance of such Approval Plans by Purchaser, or the failure to comment within the forty-five (45) day period referred to above, shall not relieve Seller from the liabilities specified in Article VIII hereof for deviations from any express requirement of the Plans and Specifications unless Seller has in writing called Purchaser's attention to such deviations at the time of submission. The Purchaser also shall have the right to reasonably request copies of any working plans only for review and comment as to the conformity with the Plans and Specifications. SECTION 4.5. MASTER PRODUCTION SCHEDULE. On or before the execution of this Agreement, Seller shall have caused the Builder to provide Purchaser with a copy of the Builder's Master Production Schedule current as of the date hereof. The Seller shall cause the Builder to submit to Purchaser any other schedules reasonably required by Purchaser to keep Purchaser informed as to the construction of the Vessel and the progress of construction. The Seller shall cause the Builder to update such schedules monthly, if possible, but in no event less than bi-monthly. SECTION 4.6. APPROVAL AND REJECTION OF WORK AND MATERIALS. The Purchaser shall promptly approve all work and materials conforming to the requirements of this Agreement and shall promptly reject all work and material not conforming to the requirements of this Agreement. Rejected workmanship shall be satisfactorily corrected, and rejected material shall be satisfactorily replaced with proper material without charge therefor, unless such work or material shall have been furnished by Purchaser, in which event the remedying of such defective work, or the replacing of such defective material, if caused to be done by Seller, shall be treated as a change under this Agreement. The Seller shall cause the Builder to promptly segregate and remove the rejected material. The acceptance of such workmanship and materials shall not prejudice the rights of Purchaser under Article VIII hereof. Defects appearing in any stage of the work shall be cause for rejection even though the item in question may have previously been passed as satisfactory. SECTION 4.6. QUALITY CONTROL. All inspection, tests, and approvals shall be performed in such a manner as not to delay the work unnecessarily and Purchaser shall not conduct unreasonable repeat inspections. Inspections performed by Purchaser shall not be a substitute for in-process control of quality by the Builder and Seller. The Builder is certified to ISO 9001-2000, and Exhibit C attached hereto describes the Builder's Quality Assurance Program. The Seller shall cause the Builder to maintain its said Quality Assurance Program throughout the duration of this Agreement. ARTICLE V - CHANGES AND SPARES SECTION 5.1. GENERALLY. The Seller shall cause the Builder to perform all changes to the Vessel required by this Article V. The Seller shall not, except as provided in Section 2.1(b), depart from the requirements of the Plans and Specifications or make any other changes in the contract work required by the Plans and Specifications without all prior authorization required by the provisions of this Article V. SECTION 5.2. CLASSIFICATION OF CHANGES. For purposes of this Article V, changes in contract work shall be classified as either "essential" changes or "non-essential" changes. "Essential Changes" shall consist of changes in the contract work due to an action of any of the Regulatory Bodies as set forth in clause (iii) of Section 2.3 or due to any other promulgation of a new law or rule that renders it illegal to own or operate the unchanged Vessel. All other changes shall be "Non-essential Changes." SECTION 5.3. CHANGE ORDER PROCEDURE. (a) The Seller shall be entitled to a fair and reasonable adjustment in the Purchase Price and Delivery Dates relating to any Essential Change or Non-essential Change performed hereunder. Upon receipt of Purchaser's written direction for a change, Seller shall submit within fifteen (15) days to Purchaser the Builder's "rough-order-of-magnitude" ("ROM") estimate of the net increase or decrease in the Purchase Price and the effect on the Delivery Date of the Vessel resulting from such change. (b) As soon as practicable thereafter, but in no event more than fifteen (15) days after the submission of the ROM estimate except for good cause due to the nature of the change requested by Purchaser, Seller shall provide Purchaser with the Builder's detailed estimate for such change, which estimate shall include the following: (i) the net increase or decrease in the Purchase Price, including (1) a materials cost estimate complete with copies of material quotations valued at over $5,000 per item and with a ten percent (10%) mark-up for materials handling and administration, and (2) a labor man-hour estimate broken down by SFI at the one digit level and multiplied by the composite labor charge out rate (including burden, overhead and fees) for the relevant elements of engineering, planning and production labor cost, which rates as of the date hereof are attached hereto as Exhibit D and are subject to the provisions of subparagraph (iii) below; (ii) the estimate of the impact on the Delivery Date for the Vessel and the Builder's Master Production Schedule, both in calendar days and to the contract and additional overhead (as appropriate); (iii) the effect on weight, moments and centers; (iv) the changes to the Vessel's speed, fuel consumption, deadweight and container capacity; (v) the effect of such change on the other terms and conditions of this Agreement; and (vi) a list of the plans and drawings affected by the proposed change. The foregoing hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Essential Terms." (c) The composite labor rates set forth in Exhibit D attached hereto are subject to periodic adjustment by the Builder not less than annually unless otherwise specified in a union contract. Such adjustments will be communicated to Purchaser at which times the parties will execute an amendment to this Agreement for the purposes of amending Exhibit D. (d) The Purchaser shall accept or reject the detailed estimate within fifteen (15) days after receipt of such estimate. If the estimate is accepted, Seller shall prepare, and Purchaser and Seller shall execute, an amendment to this Agreement, in the form of Exhibit G attached hereto (the "Change"), to amend the terms and conditions of this Agreement with respect to such Essential Change or Non-essential Change. SECTION 5.4. ESSENTIAL CHANGES. The Purchaser shall have the right to direct Seller to cause the Builder to perform an Essential Change, and Seller upon receipt of Purchaser's written direction shall cause the Builder to commence the performance of the Essential Change at such time as Purchaser may direct without regard to whether prior agreement has been reached as to the effect of the Essential Change on the Essential Terms. SECTION 5.5. NON-ESSENTIAL CHANGES. The Purchaser shall have the right to propose to Seller in writing a Non-essential Change in the contract work, and Seller shall promptly review such proposal and provide Purchaser with estimates relating to such change in accordance with the procedures described in Section 5.3 above. The Seller's obligation to perform such Non-essential Change shall be as follows: (a) The Seller shall perform such Non-essential Change, provided: (i) such change or an accumulation of such Non-essential Changes will not, in the Builder's reasonable judgment, adversely affect the Builder's planning or program in relation to the Builder's other commitments; (ii) prior to the expiration or waiver of Purchaser's right to cancel this Agreement pursuant to Article XI, such change or an accumulation of such Non-essential Changes will not, in Seller's reasonable judgment, adversely affect Seller's ability to sell the Vessel to another party in the event that Purchaser cancels the Agreement pursuant to Article XI; and (iii) the parties agree on the effect of the Non-essential Change on the Essential Terms and execute a Change with respect thereto. (b) In the event that the parties are unable to agree as to the effect of the Non-essential Change on the Essential Terms pursuant to subsection (a) above, Purchaser may direct Seller to cause the Builder to perform a Non- essential Change without the prior agreement of the parties as to the effect of the Non-essential Change on the Essential Terms if such change will not, in the Builder's reasonable estimate, cause a delay of more than thirty (30) days, or in the aggregate for all Non-essential Changes for which no agreement has been reached, of more than ninety (90) days, or that such Non-essential Change, in the aggregate with all other Non-essential Changes for which no agreement has been reached, will not cost, in Seller's reasonable estimate, more than SEVEN HUNDRED AND FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS ($750,000). SECTION 5.6. CHANGE PROPOSALS BY SELLER. The Seller shall have the right to propose to Purchaser in writing any change in the contract work. The Seller shall transmit to Purchaser its proposed change accompanied by a detailed estimate containing the information provided in and in accordance with the procedures of Section 5.3, provided that nothing herein shall require Purchaser to accept a change proposed by Seller. SECTION 5.7. COST REIMBURSEMENT. In all cases where changes are proposed by Purchaser but the proposals are subsequently withdrawn, the reasonable costs incurred by Seller in preparing an estimate of the net increase or decrease in the Purchase Price and the probable delay in delivery shall be paid to Seller by Purchaser; provided that where withdrawal of the proposal is due to good- faith failure to agree as to cost and delay attributable to the proposed change, Seller shall be entitled to recover only those reasonable costs in excess of FIVE-HUNDRED DOLLARS ($500). SECTION 5.8. DISPUTED CHANGES. In the event that Purchaser has directed Seller to make an Essential Change pursuant to Section 5.4 or a Non-essential Change pursuant to Section 5.5 and the parties are unable to agree on the price and other Essential Terms of such change within thirty (30) days, the matter shall be settled in accordance with Section 19.10 of this Agreement and the work on such Non-essential Change shall proceed during the pendency of the proceedings pursuant to Section 19.10, except as otherwise provided herein. SECTION 5.9. SPARES. (a) The Purchaser will provide Seller with a list of spares in excess of those set forth in the Plans and Specification. At Purchaser's option, Seller shall cause the Builder to purchase such spares on behalf of Purchaser at the prices available to Builder, which shall be treated as a Non-essential Change pursuant to this Article V. (b) For spares that are purchased by Seller prior to the expiration or waiver of Purchaser's right to cancel this Agreement pursuant to Article XI, Seller shall cause the Builder to include a cancellation provision in the purchase orders for such spares. In the event that Purchaser cancels this Agreement pursuant to Article XI, Purchaser shall reimburse Seller for any cancellation fees assessed by the vendors or for any deposits or payments that Seller is unable to have refunded as a result of such cancellation. ARTICLE VI - PERFORMANCE GUARANTEES AND TERMINATION FOR NON-PERFORMANCE SECTION 6.1. PERFORMANCE GUARANTEES. The Purchase Price shall be subject to adjustment, as hereinafter set forth, in the event of the following contingencies (it being understood by the parties that any reduction of the Purchase Price is by way of liquidated damages and not by way of penalty): (a) Delivery. (i) No adjustment shall be made and the Purchase Price shall remain unchanged for the first thirty (30) days of delay in delivery of the Vessel beyond the Delivery Date (ending as of twelve o'clock midnight of the thirtieth (30th) day of delay). (ii) If the delivery of the Vessel is delayed more than thirty (30) days after the Delivery Date, then, in such event, beginning at twelve o'clock midnight of the thirtieth day after the Delivery Date, the Purchase Price shall be reduced by deducting therefrom $20,000 per day. (iii) But, if the delay in delivery of the Vessel should continue for a period of one hundred and eighty (180) days from the thirty-first (31st) day after the Delivery Date, then in such event, and after such period has expired, Purchaser may at its option terminate this Agreement in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.3 hereof. The Seller may, at any time after the expiration of the aforementioned one hundred and eighty (180) days of delay in delivery, if Purchaser has not served notice of termination as provided in Section 6.3 hereof, demand in writing that Purchaser shall make an election, in which case Purchaser shall, within fifteen (15) days after such demand is received by Purchaser, notify Seller of its intention either to terminate this Agreement or to consent to the acceptance of the Vessel at an agreed future date and with the reduction in the Purchase Price determined in accordance with this ARTICLE; it being understood by the parties hereto that, if the Vessel is not delivered by such future date, Purchaser shall have the same right of termination upon the same terms and conditions as hereinabove provided. (iv) If Purchaser requests in writing that the delivery of the Vessel be made earlier than the Delivery Date, and if the delivery of the Vessel is made in response to such request of Purchaser, then, in such event, beginning with the first (1st) day prior to the Delivery Date, Seller shall promptly furnish Purchaser with an estimate of increased costs and other changes attributable to any such request in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 5.3 hereof and action shall be taken as provided therein. In the event that a new Delivery Date is established both payments and liquidated damages will be related to the new Delivery Date. (b) Container Carrying Capacity. (i) The design container capacity of the Vessel is 1441 containers under conditions according the Vessel's Container Stowage Plan 001 0315 80 401 Version H (typical loading). Should there be a deficiency in said container carrying capacity of the Vessel of more than 10 containers (independent of size), i.e. less than 1431 containers, the Purchase Price shall be reduced with THIRTY THOUSAND DOLLARS ($30,000) per 20' and 24' container, SIXTY THOUSAND DOLLARS ($60,000) per 40' and 45' container, and EIGHTY THOUSAND DOLLARS ($80,000) per refrigerated container in accordance with the agreed stowage plan short of 1431 containers. (ii) Should the container carrying capacity be reduced by more than fifty (50) containers, then Purchaser may, at its option, reject the Vessel and terminate this Agreement in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.3 hereof, or may accept the Vessel at a reduction in the Purchase Price as specified above. (c) Deadweight. (i) The Purchase Price shall not be affected or changed by reason of the actual deadweight of the Vessel as determined in accordance with the Specification if the difference is less than 300 metric tonnes of the 29400 metric tonnes guaranteed deadweight of the Vessel. (ii) However, in the event that the deficiency in the actual dead- weight of the Vessel as determined in accordance with the Specification is more than 300 metric tonnes of the guaranteed deadweight of the Vessel, the Purchase Price shall be reduced by the sum of ONE THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS ($1,500.00) for each full metric ton of such deficiency being more than 300 metric tonnes (disregarding fractions of one (1) metric tonnes). (iii) In the event of such deficiency in the actual deadweight of the Vessel being 1000 metric tonnes or more, then, Purchaser may, at its option, reject the Vessel and terminate this Agreement in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.3 hereof or accept the Vessel at a reduction in the Purchase Price as specified above. (d) Speed. (i) The Purchase Price shall not be affected or changed by reason of the actual speed, as determined by the trial run, being less than two- tenths (2/10) of one (1) knot below the guaranteed speed of twenty-two and one-half (22.5) knots as defined in the Specification for any Vessel. (ii) However, commencing with each full one-tenth (1/10) knot thereafter, the Purchase Price shall be reduced as follows for each full one-tenth (1/10) of a knot (but disregarding fractions of one-tenth (1/10) of a knot): 3/10th of a knot-5/10th of a knot $115,000 per full one-tenth (1/10) of a knot 6/10th of a knot-1 full knot $165,000 per full one-tenth (1/10) of a knot (iii) If the deficiency in actual speed of the Vessel upon trial run is more than one (1) full knot below the guaranteed speed of the Vessel, Purchaser may, at its option, reject the Vessel and terminate this Agreement in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.3 hereof, or may accept Vessel at a reduction in the Purchase Price as specified above. (e) Fuel Consumption: (i) The Purchase Price shall not be affected or changed by reason of the fuel consumption of the main engine on the test bed, as determined per the Plans and Specifications, being more than the guaranteed fuel consumption of the Vessel, if such excess is not more than five percent (5%) over the guaranteed fuel consumption, equaling 179.55 g/kWh (171g/kwh +5%). (ii) However, commencing with an excess of five percent (5%) in the actual fuel consumption over the guaranteed fuel consumption, equaling 179.55g/kWh, the Purchase Price shall be reduced by the sum of TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS ($200,000.00) for each full gram increase in fuel consumption. (iii) If such actual fuel consumption exceeds 189.55 g/kWh, Purchaser may, at its option, reject the Vessel and terminate this Agreement in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.3 hereof, or may accept the Vessel at a reduction in the Purchase Price as specified above. SECTION 6.2. EFFECT OF TERMINATION AND OFFSET. Notwithstanding any other provision of this ARTICLE VI, it is expressly understood and agreed by the parties hereto that in any case: (a) If Purchaser terminates this Agreement under this Article VI, Purchaser shall not be entitled to any liquidated damages. (b) Any amounts of liquidated damages payable under this Article VI may be offset from payments due on the Purchase Price under Section 3.2. SECTION 6.3. PROCEDURE FOR TERMINATION BY PURCHASER. (a) In the event that Purchaser shall exercise its right to terminate this Agreement under this ARTICLE VI, then Purchaser shall notify Seller pursuant to Section 19.11 hereof, and such termination shall be effective as of the date notice thereof is received by Seller. (b) Thereupon Seller shall promptly refund to Purchaser the full amount of all sums paid by Purchaser to Seller on account of the Vessel, unless Seller proceeds to dispute such termination under the provisions of Section 19.10 hereof. (c) Upon such refund by Seller to Purchaser, all obligations, duties and liabilities of each of the parties hereto to the other under this Agreement shall be forthwith completely discharged. ARTICLE VII - TRIALS AND DELIVERY SECTION 7.1. TRIALS. (a) The Vessel shall have the dock trials and other trials and tests as set forth in the Plans and Specifications and in this Agreement. The reasonably necessary expenses of such trials and tests shall be borne by Seller. (b) When the work on the Vessel is substantially complete, as required by this Agreement, and when Seller and the Builder shall have made sufficient trials at the dock to be reasonably sure of satisfactory performance under the requirements of this Agreement, the Vessel shall be subject to trials at sea to test it and its power as prescribed by the Plans and Specifications and this Agreement. (c) Arrangements will be made so as to obtain specific data during the trials that are required to determine compliance with this Agreement and the Plans and Specifications. At a reasonable time, but no less than sixty (60) days before the Vessel is ready for trial, Seller shall submit a schedule and description of trials to Purchaser for approval by Purchaser. (d) The Purchaser shall have the right to have authorized representa- tives, employees, inspectors and any other person reasonably designated by Purchaser present at all sea trials. SECTION 7.2 ADDITIONAL TRIALS-EXPENSES. If at and upon trials required by the Plans and Specifications and by this Agreement there shall be any failure of the Vessel to meet the requirements of this Agreement, Seller shall, after corrective action is taken, cause the Builder to make further trials sufficient in number reasonably to demonstrate compliance with the Plans and Specifica- tions and this Agreement. The costs of all additional trials required by this Section 7.2 shall be borne by Seller or the Builder, except that with regard to any trials made necessary by failure or malfunction upon prior trial of equipment or machinery furnished by Purchaser, Purchaser shall bear the cost of such additional trials. SECTION 7.3. POST-TRIAL INSPECTION-ACCEPTANCE AND DAMAGES. After the trials required by this Agreement or by the Plans and Specifications have been completed, the Vessel shall be returned to the Shipyard, and in cases where the performance is in question, in accordance with the equipment vendor's recommendations or required by the Regulatory Bodies, the machinery shall be opened up for post-trial inspection and examination. If the requirements and conditions hereof shall, upon the trials mentioned, be fulfilled, the Vessel shall be accepted subject to the provisions of Article VIII hereof. If any defects, deficiencies or non-conformance with the Plans or Specifications or damage due to such defects or deficiencies or non-conformance with the Plans or Specifications appear in the work performed by the Builder, or in the materials and equipment supplied by the Builder, Seller shall cause the Builder to correct the defects, deficiencies, non-conformance with the Plans or Specifications or damage at the expense of Seller or the Builder, after which the machinery shall be closed and connected, ready for service; provided, however, that if the requirements, conditions and guarantees of this Agreement shall not be met, the parties may stipulate money damages in lieu of performance by Seller, or Purchaser may accept delivery subject to completion or correction of all incomplete or defective contract work listed by Purchaser in the Delivery Certificate with an appropriate holdback from the Delivery Payment for the Vessel to cover the work, provided that any amount held back by Purchaser that is disputed by Seller shall be deposited in the escrow account pursuant to Section 3.3. Prior to delivery all oily water wastes, pumpable sludge and any sludge beyond the amount reasonably expected to be present under the circumstances shall be removed from the Vessel by the Builder at Seller's expense. SECTION 7.4. SUPPLIES USED DURING TRIALS AND ON BOARD AT DELIVERY. Seller shall use and cause the Builder to use during trials and shall have on board at the time of delivery of the Vessel, the supplies (including without limitation lubricating oil, diesel oil, fuel oil and fresh water) requested by Purchaser from the suppliers designated by Purchaser, and Purchaser shall pay for the supplies left on board at delivery at Seller's invoiced cost, provided that Seller will use its best efforts to obtain competitive prices for such supplies. SECTION 7.5. DELIVERY. (a) When the work on the Vessel is complete or substantially complete in accordance with this Agreement and the Vessel has passed the tests required by this Agreement, the Vessel as completed or substantially completed shall be delivered by Seller and accepted by Purchaser at the time of delivery from the Builder to Seller alongside a safe and accessible pier at the Shipyard, where there must be sufficient water for the Vessel always to be afloat and during egress from the berth, custom to the contrary notwithstanding, free and clear of all liens, security interests, and claims of every nature, excepting, however, those in favor of a claimant, other than Seller or Builder, arising out of the acts or omissions of Purchaser, with not less than ten (10) days prior written notice to Purchaser of such delivery. (b) As used in this Agreement, the term "substantially complete" shall mean complete except for minor items not affecting the commercial utility and safe operation of the Vessel and not violating any requirement of a Regulatory Body. Unless waived by Purchaser, in Purchaser's sole discretion, the Vessel shall not be deemed to be "substantially complete" if a delivery deficiency will require the Vessel to be taken out of service prior to the Vessel's regular maintenance schedule or if the aggregate value of such delivery deficiencies is in excess of SIX HUNDRED AND TWENTY-FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS ($625,000.00). (c) Upon delivery, Seller shall furnish to Purchaser a copy of the Builder's Certification (U.S. Coast Guard Form 1261) issued to Seller pursuant to the KSI Shipbuilding Agreement, a bill of sale (U.S. Coast Guard Form 1340), and a Certificate of Freedom from Liens (pursuant to Section 7.6 hereof), and Seller and Purchaser shall (i) deliver to Purchaser a copy of the delivery certificate given by the Builder to the Seller at the delivery of the Vessel, and (ii) execute a Delivery Certificate in the form of Exhibit E accepting the Vessel, and Purchaser shall, within ten (10) days thereafter, remove or cause the Vessel to be removed from the Shipyard. (d) Delivery and Acceptance by Purchaser of the Vessel shall be expressly conditioned upon (i) Purchaser's rights under Article VIII hereof, and (ii) Purchaser's right to completion by Seller thereafter of any uncompleted contract work and correction by Seller of any defective contract work as shown in the Delivery Certificate in accordance with Section 7.3. SECTION 7.6. LIENS. At the time of delivery of the Vessel, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser (i) a copy of the certificate of no liens given by the Builder to the Seller at the delivery of the Vessel, and (ii) a Certificate of No Liens, in the form of Exhibit F attached hereto ("Lien Certificate"), certifying the absence of any liens, security interests or rights in rem of any kind on said Vessel, other than a lien, security interest or rights in rem arising out of the actions of Purchaser. If Seller is unable to provide a Lien Certificate because there is a lien, security interest or right in rem on the Vessel, Purchaser may secure the discharge or release of such lien, security interest or right in rem by withholding from the Delivery Payment the amount required to bond and secure the release or discharge of such lien, security interest or right in rem, which amount shall include the estimated amount of all expenses which might be incurred therewith. SECTION 7.7. TITLE. Title and risk of loss of the Vessel shall pass to Purchaser only upon the completion of the delivery to and acceptance by Purchaser of the Vessel in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Until such time, title to and risk of loss of the Vessel shall remain with Seller except as otherwise provided in Article X. Title to all scrap and title to any material that is surplus to the requirements of this Agreement (except Purchaser's Supplies or which under any adjustment of the Purchase Price under the provisions of Article V of this Agreement remains the property of the Purchaser) shall vest in Seller or the Builder, as the case may be. Title to all Purchaser's Supplies shall at all times remain in Purchaser. ARTICLE VIII - GUARANTEE PERIOD LIABILITY FOR DEFECTIVE WORK OR MATERIAL SECTION 8.1. ASSIGNMENT OF GUARANTEES. The Seller shall assign or cause to be assigned to Purchaser all guarantees received from the Builder under the KSI Shipbuilding Contract. In addition, Seller shall cause the Builder to fulfill any guaranty obligation in this Article VIII not otherwise contained in and performed by Builder in the guarantees assigned pursuant to the this Section 8.1. SECTION 8.2. GUARANTEE PERIOD. Notwithstanding any inspection or failure to reject by Purchaser or any of the applicable Regulatory Bodies pursuant to Article IV and Sections 7.1 through 7.3 of this Agreement, if at any time within twelve (12) months after delivery of the Vessel (the "Guarantee Period") there shall appear or be discovered, any weakness, any defect, any deficiency, any failure, any breaking down or deterioration in design, workmanship or material furnished by Seller or the Builder in performing the contract work, or any failure of any equipment, machinery or material, so furnished by Seller or the Builder, to function as prescribed and as intended by the Plans and Specifications and this Agreement (herein called a "Guarantee Deficiency{ XE "Guarantee Deficiency" }"), such Guarantee Deficiency shall be made good, at Seller's or Builder's expense, to the requirements of the Plans and Specifications and this Agreement; provided, however, neither Seller nor Builder shall be responsible for the cost of correcting any such Guarantee Deficiency to the extent that such Guarantee Deficiency resulted from Purchaser's specific written direction (including Plans and Specifications furnished by Purchaser) later found to result in a Guarantee Deficiency (but only if Seller or Builder gave Purchaser written notice that such specific direction was technically improper) nor to the extent that it is due to ordinary wear and tear, nor to the extent increased by the negligence or other improper act of Purchaser or any operator of the Vessel or of any other person other than Seller, the Builder or its subcontractors during said period. In the event that the Vessel is prevented from entering or is taken out of service as a result of a Guarantee Deficiency, then the Guarantee Period shall be extended by the period of time that the Vessel is out of service for such reason. In the event that repairs or correction of a Guarantee Deficiency are completed within ninety (90) days of the expiration of the Guarantee Period, the Guarantee Period shall be extended with respect to such item for a period of ninety (90) days from the date of completion of repairs or corrections of the Guarantee Deficiency. SECTION 8.3. LIMITATION OF GUARANTEE LIABILITY. The liability of Seller to Purchaser under this Agreement on account of any Guarantee Deficiency shall not extend beyond the actual repair or replacement thereof at straight time commercial shipyard or ship repair yard rates including the cost of the drydocking and dockage of the Vessel, if necessary, and any tariffs, imposts or levies incurred in connection therewith, plus the actual cost of any investigation by Purchaser or any subcontractor required to determine the cause of a Guarantee Deficiency including, without limitation, the cost of repair parts, material, testing, and any charges or expenses reasonably incurred by Purchaser in connection therewith. The Seller shall not be liable to Purchaser for any damage to the Vessel or its equipment or cargo or other property of Purchaser or for consequential damages of Purchaser arising out of any such Guarantee Deficiency, except that in the event any Guarantee Deficiency in any item of machinery or equipment furnished by Seller or the Builder or in the event that any workmanship or material furnished by Seller or the Builder in performance of work upon any of the Vessel's machinery or equipment, gives rise to a Guarantee Deficiency causing any damage to such items of machinery or equipment, Seller shall be liable not only for the cost of correcting or repairing such Guarantee Deficiency, but also shall be liable for the cost of correcting or repairing such damage to such item of machinery or equipment caused by such Guarantee Deficiency. Any work required to be performed pursuant to the provisions of this Article VIII shall be carried out, if practicable and at Purchaser's option, at the Shipyard. The Seller may, with the concurrence of Purchaser, have such work performed by its subcontractor, another shipyard or repair facility. The Purchaser may, however, have such work performed by the vessel crew, or by a shipyard or ship repair yard at any port satisfactory to it and in that event Seller shall be liable to Purchaser for the expense thereof at the straight time commercial shipyard or ship repair yard rates prevailing in such port areas, including the cost of dockage of the Vessel, if necessary. In all events, Purchaser shall bring the Vessel to the site where repairs are to be effected at its own cost. In the case of guaranty repairs made by the crew, Purchaser shall make a reasonable effort to consult with Seller or the Builder prior to making such repairs, and shall provide such documentation as reasonably requested by Seller or the Builder to establish the nature of the deficiency. In any event, unless otherwise agreed, Seller shall be responsible only for the cost of materials and any necessary overtime labor cost incurred in the case of crew repairs, and Seller will not guaranty such repairs; provided, however, for any repair performed under the direction or supervision of Builder's guarantee engineer, Seller shall pay for the cost of materials and labor and shall continue to provide any guaranty required hereunder. SECTION 8.4. LIMITATION OF GUARANTEE LIABILITY. The Seller shall cause the Builder to assign the program manager or another designee for the Guarantee Period to supervise Seller's responsibilities under this Article in the correction and repair of Guarantee Deficiencies. The Seller shall cause the Builder to have an engineer on board the Vessel for at least ninety (90) days and, at its option, for the Guarantee Period, who shall have full opportunity to observe and inspect the working of the Vessel in all its parts, but without any directing or controlling authority over the Vessel. In computing the Guarantee Period from the date of Purchaser's acceptance of the completed Vessel, there shall be excluded any time the Vessel is prevented from entering or is taken out of service on account of any Guarantee Deficiency for which Seller or Builder is responsible, as herein provided. SECTION 8.5. NOTIFICATION OF GUARANTEE DEFICIENCIES. The Purchaser shall notify Seller or the Builder of any Guarantee Deficiencies or damage for which Seller is liable pursuant to Section 8.2 above, discovered or appearing within the Guarantee Period, within thirty (30) days of the end of such period or if the Vessel is at sea at the end of such period, within thirty (30) days of the end of the voyage. In the event Purchaser proposes the repair or correction of such Guarantee Deficiency or damage before the Vessel reaches its next continental United States port, notice shall be given to Seller not later than five (5) days after the discovery of the Guarantee Deficiency or damage and before repair, otherwise notice shall be given five (5) days after the Vessel next reaches a continental United States port and before the Guarantee Deficiency or damage is repaired or corrected. Whenever practical (taking into consideration the necessity of keeping the Vessel on schedule) Seller or the Builder shall be given an opportunity to inspect the Guarantee Deficiency or damage before it is remedied. SECTION 8.6. FINAL GUARANTY SURVEY. A final guarantee survey of the Vessel shall be conducted by Purchaser at or near the expiration of the Guarantee Period. Such survey shall be based on the Guarantee Deficiencies in the contract work appearing or discovered during the Guarantee Period. In the event that the Vessel is not available for the guarantee survey on or before the end of the Guarantee Period, Purchaser promptly shall submit to Seller or the Builder a list of all of the Guarantee Deficiencies in the contract work appearing or discovered during the Guarantee Period and all damage for which Seller is liable under the provisions of this Article VIII. The final guarantee survey shall be held at such port in the United States as Purchaser designates and seven (7) days written notice of time and place for such guarantee survey shall be given to Seller or the Builder by Purchaser. SECTION 8.7. UNDERWATER GUARANTEE DEFICIENCIES. For the determination of any underwater Guarantee Deficiencies, Purchaser, at Purchaser's expense, may drydock the Vessel within twelve (12) months of the Vessel's delivery or within such longer period as is required by the Vessel's operating schedule. If the Vessel is drydocked after the twelve (12) month period, Seller's liability for Guarantee Deficiencies discovered on drydocking is limited to those Guarantee Deficiencies that arose in the Guarantee Period. In the event that the drydocking is postponed beyond the Guarantee Period, Purchaser may continue to withhold from the payment of the Guarantee Holdback pursuant to Section 8.9 below an amount to be agreed upon by the parties, but in no case more than ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS ($150,000.00) for the Vessel, unless there is reasonable evidence of underwater Guarantee Deficiencies that will require a greater holdback, which amount will be payable to Purchaser for any drydocking Guarantee Deficiencies that are discovered and to Seller for any excess, upon the successful completion of the drydocking. In the event Guarantee Deficiencies are discovered in the course of the drydocking of the Vessel and such deficiencies are corrected, Purchaser shall pay, as his expense, the haul day and any lay days required to accomplish the Vessel's normal drydocking maintenance; provided, however, that if a Guarantee Deficiency is discovered, the correction of which requires additional drydocking time, Seller, in addition to the cost of the correction of the Guarantee Deficiency, as provided in this Article VIII, shall also pay, as its expense, for each additional drydocking lay day. If it becomes necessary to drydock the Vessel solely for the correction of a Guarantee Deficiency for which Seller is responsible, the cost of the entire drydocking required for the correction of the Guarantee Deficiency, as well as the cost of remedying the deficiency, as provided in this Article VIII, shall be at the expense of Seller. SECTION 8.8. EXCLUSIVE REMEDY. The liability of Seller for a Guarantee Deficiency and for any damage to the Vessel or to its cargo, resulting from any Guarantee Deficiency, as set out in this Article VIII, is intended as the exclusive remedy of Purchaser against Seller for any Guarantee Deficiency in the Vessel or any damage to the Vessel or to its cargo resulting from any such Guarantee Deficiency and replaces and excludes any other liability, guarantee, warranty and/or condition imposed by law, statutory or otherwise. THE SELLER MAKES NO FURTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS OF THE VESSEL, ITS MACHINERY OR EQUIPMENT FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. SECTION 8.9. GUARANTEE HOLDBACK. The Purchaser may withhold TWO MILLION DOLLARS ($2,000,000) from the Delivery Payment. At the time of the delivery of the Vessel, Purchaser shall deposit the full amount of the Guarantee Holdback into an escrow account. The Purchaser shall pay to Seller the entire Guarantee Holdback, less any amount to cover any outstanding Guarantee Deficiency, upon completion of the Guarantee Period for the Vessel. Any amounts withheld beyond the end of the Guarantee Period pursuant to Section 8.7 above or this Section 8.9 shall be paid to Seller upon the correction of all Guarantee Deficiencies for which such amounts were withheld. Any dispute with respect to the disposition of the Guarantee Holdback shall be settled pursuant to Section 19.10 of this Agreement. ARTICLE IX - DEFAULT OF PURCHASER SECTION 9.1. NON-MONETARY DEFAULT. The Purchaser shall be deemed to be in default of performance of its obligations under this Agreement in the following cases: (a) If Purchaser fails to take delivery of the Vessel when such Vessel is duly tendered for delivery by Seller under the provisions of this Agreement; or (b) The Purchaser being dissolved or adjudged bankrupt or making a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or the appointment of a receiver of any kind whatsoever, whether or not appointed in bankruptcy, common law or equity proceedings, whether temporary or permanent, for the property of Purchaser, or the filing by Purchaser of a petition for reorganization or other proceedings with reference to Purchaser, under the Bankruptcy Code of the United States or any similar law, state or federal or in any jurisdiction in which Purchaser has assets or is registered to do business, or the filing of such petition of creditors and approval thereof by the courts, whether proposed by a creditor, a stockholder or any other person whatsoever, or the filing of an answer to such a petition admitting insolvency or inability to pay its debts. SECTION 9.2. MONETARY DEFAULT.

In any event of default by Purchaser, Purchaser shall also pay all reasonable charges and expenses incurred by Seller as a result thereof. SECTION 9.3. EFFECT OF DEFAULT. If any default by Purchaser occurs as provided herein, the Delivery Date shall be automatically postponed for a period of continuance of such default by Purchaser. If any default by Purchaser continues for a period of fifteen (15) days, Seller may, at its option, terminate this Agreement by giving notice of such effect to Purchaser in accordance with Section 19.11 hereof unless Purchaser proceeds to the dispute resolution under the provisions of Section 19.10. Upon receipt by Purchaser of such notice of termination, this Agreement shall forthwith become null and void and any of Purchaser's Supplies shall become the sole property of Seller. In the event of such termination of this Agreement, Seller shall be entitled to retain any amounts theretofore paid by Purchaser to Seller on account of this Agreement. SECTION 9.4. SALE OF THE VESSEL.

(b) In the event of sale of the Vessel in its incomplete state, the proceeds of the sale received by Seller shall be applied firstly to payment of all expenses attending such sale and otherwise incurred by Seller as a result of Purchaser's default, and then to payment of all costs of construction of the Vessel and compensation to Seller for a reasonable loss of profit due to the termination of this Agreement. (c) If the proceeds of sale are insufficient to pay such total amounts payable as aforesaid, Purchaser shall promptly pay the deficiency to Seller upon request.

SECTION 19.8. CONTRACTOR TO COMPLY WITH ALL LAWS AND REGULATIONS. (a) The Seller shall cause the Builder to comply with all laws, rules, regulations, and requirements of the Regulatory Bodies. At delivery thereof, the Vessel shall be in class, qualified and in compliance with all laws, rules, regulations and requirements of the Regulatory Bodies. The Seller shall procure at its own expense, or cause the Builder to procure, such permits and certificates from the United States of America, State and local authorities as may be necessary in connection with beginning or carrying on to completion of the contract work and shall at all times comply with all United States of America, state and local laws in any way affecting the contract work; provided, however, that the provisions of Article V and Section 2.3 of this Agreement shall govern Seller's right to recover any increased costs due to changes. (b) Without limiting Seller's obligations under paragraph (a), Seller shall, during the construction of the Vessel, cause the Builder to comply with applicable laws, rules and regulations relating to workplace safety and hazardous materials, and, during construction of the Vessel, to be responsible and assume sole liability for developing plans for and for undertaking the removal, transportation and disposal of any hazardous waste relating to the construction of the Vessel in conformance with applicable laws, rules and regulations. The Seller shall cause the Builder to utilize the Builder's EPA identification number in connection with any such disposal. The Seller shall indemnify Purchaser against any and all loss, cost, penalty or expense arising out of the negligent or willful acts or omissions of Seller or the Builder with respect to such hazardous waste. SECTION 19.9. APPLICABLE LAW. This Agreement shall be governed by federal law of contracts, to the extent applicable, and otherwise by the laws of the State of New York. SECTION 19.10. DISPUTES. (a) Any dispute or any difference of opinion between the parties hereto relating to conformity of the construction of the Vessel or material used to the Classification Society requirements or relating to any other technical matters shall be referred to the Classification Society for settlement by and between the parties and the Classification Society. In the event that the settlement cannot be reached by the three parties above-mentioned, then such matter shall be referred to arbitration as hereinafter provided. (b) Except for cases that are settled under paragraph (a), any dispute arising under or by virtue of this Agreement or any difference of opinion between the parties hereto concerning their rights and obligations under this Agreement, shall be referred to arbitration in New York City, unless otherwise agreed by the parties. The arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the commercial arbitration rules of the American Arbitration Association and the parties shall be able to conduct reasonable discovery. (c) Either party may demand arbitration of any such dispute or difference of opinion by giving notice in writing to the other party. Any demand for arbitration by either of the parties hereto shall state specifically the question or questions as to which such party is demanding arbitration. A single arbitrator chosen by the parties shall hear the matter. In the event that Seller and Purchaser cannot agree on a single arbitrator within fourteen (14) days of the parties agreeing to arbitration, then the arbitration shall be by a board of three persons, consisting of one arbitrator appointed by each party, and one arbitrator chosen by the other two arbitrators. (d) In the event of arbitration of any dispute arising or occurring prior to the delivery of the Vessel, an award of the arbitrators shall include a finding as to whether or not the Delivery Date of the Vessel is in any way altered thereby.
