Box No. Description

Cancellation Fee: The Contractor and Government agree the purpose of this clause is to induce the Contractor to offer and to provide the required services when the Contractor otherwise would not offer to provide them because of the Contractor's inability to recover its out-of-pocket costs in the event the Government does not exercise an option to extend the term of the contract or terminates the contract for the convenience of the Government.

In the event the Government does not exercise an option to extend the term of the contract or terminates the contract for convenience, the Contractor shall be entitled to not-to-exceed cancellation costs subject to the following conditions and according to the following schedule:

Prior to Delivery (of vessel or layberth) $ During Base Performance Period $ During 1st Option Performance Period $

During 2nd Option Performance Period $ During 3rd Option Performance Period $ During 4th Option Performance Period $ During 5th Option Performance Period $

"Cancellation costs" means, and only means, costs specifically identified by the Contractor in its proposal and actually incurred by the Contractor between contract award and vessel delivery to the Government including, and limited to, the following categories of costs: costs incurred by the Contractor for vessel acquisition, reflagging costs and modification, or conversion costs, and only to the extent such modification, or conversion costs were incurred in order for the vessel to meet contract requirements. The Government will ensure it has sufficient working capital funds for these cancellation costs.

When requesting payment of cancellation costs, the Contractor shall provide evidence satisfactory to the Contracting Officer verifying that Contractor actually incurred the specified categories of cancellation costs prior to delivery of the vessel to the Government and the amount thereof.

The cancellation costs must be reasonable, allowable, and allocable to the contract. The Government will not be obligated in any event to reimburse the Contractor for the specified categories of cancellation costs in excess of the amount allotted in the schedule above for each contract period regardless of anything to the contrary in the clause entitled: "Termination for Convenience of the Government." The Contractor agrees that payment of the specified cancellation costs according to the schedule above for any contract period fully compensates the Contractor for the specified categories of cancellation costs. The Contractor waives any right it may have to claim any additional costs for the specified categories of cancellation costs in the event such cancellation costs become payable, whether as a result of a termination for convenience or as a result of the Government's failure to exercise an option. As used in this clause, the total amount payable by the

Government for the specified categories of cancellation costs in the event the Government does not exercise an option or terminates the contract for convenience is as set forth in the schedule above.

This clause does not limit the rights of the Government under the clause entitled "Default" or under the clause entitled "Termination for Convenience of the Government."

Note: Pursuant to 10 USC§2401, the Government is prohibited from entering into a vessel lease or charter that contains a substantial termination liability. Offerors who submit substantial termination liabilities will not be considered for award. A substantial termination liability is defined by the statute as:

i. An agreement by the U.S., under the contract, to pay an amount greater than 25% of the value of the vessel for the termination liability; or

ii. An agreement by the U.S., under the contract, to pay an amount greater than 50% of the value of the vessel for the sum of the termination liability and the value of the total payments attributable to capital-hire.

Similarly, should the

Vessel become a constructive total loss, Charterer may, at its sole discretion, terminate this Charter, in which case hire shall cease to be payable at the time of the casualty resulting in the constructive loss.
