"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 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 as defined in FAR 31.201.

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 clauses entitled “Default,”

“Termination for Convenience of the Government,” “Loss of Vessel,” “No Cost Cancellation – Deficiencies,”

“Remedies,” or “Excessive Time Lost.” The clauses entitled “Default,” “Loss of Vessel,” “No Cost Cancellation –

Deficiencies,” “Remedies,” and “Excessive Time Lost” are not subject to cancellation costs.

Note: Pursuant to 10 U.S.C. § 2401, the Government is prohibited from entering into a vessel 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 equal to or 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 equal to or 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.

Notice of intent to substitute by the Contractor shall identify the vessel(s) being substituted and the vessel(s) for which substitution is being made and shall provide the Contracting Officer with sufficient information on which to base a determination regarding good cause for substitution and the acceptability of the nominated substitute vessel. Notice shall be submitted in writing and shall be submitted sufficiently in advance to permit the Contracting Officer to make a reasoned determination regarding good cause and substitute vessel(s) suitability. If circumstances require oral notification, said notice shall provide all of the above-required information and shall include a statement of circumstances that preclude a written notice prior to substitution. Confirmation of the information given in an oral notice shall be submitted to the Contracting Officer in writing within forty-eight (48) hours of the giving of oral notification.

Charterer. Any vessel(s) substituted under this Clause shall result in no cost increase for Charterer, and substitution shall result in no operation delay for Charterer except as provided above. It shall not otherwise excuse any other performance required under this Charter party.

c) The Contracting Officer’s notice of acceptance or rejection of the substitute vessel(s) shall be made within reasonable time following Owner’s nomination thereof, provided that the Contracting Officer is furnished sufficient information on which to base such a determination. Silence of the Contracting Officer shall not be construed as acceptance of any nominated vessel(s).

d) Notwithstanding the Charterer's prior acceptance of any substitute vessel(s) under this paragraph, the
