OTHER REQUIREMENTS

OFF HIRE

1. GENERAL. In the event of the loss of time resulting from deficiency and/or default of men including but not limited to misconduct, illness, injury, strikes, labor disruptions, lockouts; deficiency of stores; fire; breakdown of or damage to hull, machinery, or equipment; collision; stranding; grounding; detention by authorities;

average accidents to Vessel or cargo unless resulting from inherent vice, quality, or defect of the cargo; repairs;

inspections; all dry-dockings including those for the purpose of examination/inspection or painting bottom but not for those dry-dockings under the Alterations clause contained herein; or deviation for the purpose of landing any ill or injured person on board other than any passenger, supercargo, or military personnel who may be carried at Charterer's request; or by any other cause whatsoever preventing the full working of the Vessel, the payment of hire shall cease for all time lost until the Vessel is again, at a position not less favorable to the Charterer than that at which such loss of time commenced, ready and in a fully efficient state to resume her service. Should the Vessel deviate or put back during a voyage contrary to the orders or directions of the Charterer for any reason, the hire is to be suspended from the time of her deviating or putting back until she is again, at a position not less favorable to the Charterer than that at which such loss of time commenced, ready and in a fully efficient state to resume her service. When the period of time lost to the Charterer on any one occasion is less than two (2) consecutive hours, the hire shall not be reduced for such period, provided no missions were missed during that period of time.

2. COSTS FOR OWNER. The cost of fuel consumed while the Vessel is off-hire, as well as all port charges, pilotages, and other expenses incurred during such period and consequent upon the putting in to any port or place other than that to which the Vessel is bound, shall be borne by the Owner. All fuel used by the Vessel being driven into port or to shallow harbors or to rivers or ports with bars, the delay of the Vessel and/or expenses resulting there from shall be for Charterer's account.

3. DELAYS/EXCESSIVE FUEL CONSUMPTION. If upon any passage the Vessel fails to make the warranted speed or if her warranted fuel consumption exceeds that offered due to defect in or breakdown of any part of her hull, machinery, or equipment; casualty; or inefficiency of Master, Officers, or crew or their failure to proceed with utmost dispatch, and if the Vessel is delayed more than two (2) hours, provided no missions were missed during that period of time, the hire for the time lost and any cost of extra fuel consumed, if any, shall be borne by the Owner.

LOSS OF VESSEL

4. LOSS OF VESSEL. Should any or all of the vessels be either lost or missing, or become a constructive total loss, the portion of the charter for such vessel(s) shall terminate and hire shall cease to be payable at the time of the loss or, if said time is unknown, at the time of the vessel(s) last received communication. If the vessel(s) should be off hire or missing when a payment of hire would otherwise be due, such payment shall be postponed until the off-hire period ceases or the safety of the vessel(s) is ascertained, as the case may be.

INSURANCE

INSURANCE

1. Vessel Owner’s Insurance

(1) General. During the full period of this Contract, the Owner shall maintain commercially reasonable and standard marine insurance coverage on the Vessels, including Broad Form Tower’s Liability Insurance (including damage to the Tow) on each tug performing under this Contract, Hull and Machinery, Protection and Indemnity (P&I) (including Tower’s Protection and Indemnity Liability Insurance on each tug performing under this Contract), Pollution Liability, War Risk Hull and Machinery, War Risk P&I, and Second Seamen's War Risk and Government Personnel Training Insurance (shall cover hands-on operation of the vessel equipment by Government personnel while training to operate the tug under the Emergency Situations and Training clause). Except as provided herein, the Owner shall be responsible for the cost of such insurance, including deductibles, premia, additional premia, calls, commissions, advancements, assessments, and overspill claims where applicable. Within 10 calendar days following award of the contract, the Owner shall notify the Contracting Officer in writing that the required insurance has been obtained.

(2) Limitation of Liability. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, the Charterer shall not be liable for any loss, damage, expense, cost, or liability whatsoever and howsoever incurred by the Owner or Vessel, or which are imposed upon the Owner or Vessel by operation of law. Any Amount due the Owner under paragraph (1) shall be subject to setoff by the Charterer to the extent of any amount recovered under insurance carried by the Owner, or to the extent of any amount recoverable under insurance required by paragraph (1).

(3) Cancellation or Material Change in Coverage. All policies shall contain an endorsement stating that “in the event of cancellation or any material change in policies adversely affecting the interest of the Government in such insurance, the cancellation or change shall not be effective until 30 days after written notice thereto the Contracting Officer.” Wording such as “will endeavor to mail notice” or “failure to mail such notices shall impose no obligation or liability” is not acceptable.

(4) Charterer Named Assured. The United States of America shall be named as an additional assured with waiver of subrogation under the Vessel’s Broad Form Tower’s Liability policy, Tower’s P&I policy, Hull and Machinery policy (and the Increased Value policy if applicable), the Vessel’s P&I entry, any additional pollution liability coverage, the Vessel’s War Risk Hull and Machinery policy including P&I, and Second Seaman’s War Risk.

2. War

(1) Voyage Instructions. Operating limits of the vessel subject to this contract shall be worldwide. If the Vessel is ordered under this Contract to any port, place, or zone involved in a state of war, warlike operations or hostilities, civil strife, or piracy (whether there be a declaration of war or not) where it might be reasonably expected to be subject to capture, seizure, arrest, or hostile act by a belligerent power (whether de facto or de jure), pirate, or terrorist, it shall be unreasonable for the Owner not to prosecute said voyage if insurance against said risks is then available commercially or under a Government program, or if the Government offers the Owner indemnification against said risks pursuant to Public Law 85-804.

(2) The Vessel Owner shall immediately notify the Charterer: (i) whenever any sailing orders will result in a vessel subject to this contract being sent beyond the limits of the War Risk Trading Warranties of insurance policies required under this contract (to include entry into a war risk exclusion zone or when the vessel will enter, sail for, or deviate towards the territorial waters of any of the Countries or places, or any other waters described in the Lloyd’s Joint War Committee’s current List of Areas of Perceived Enhanced Risk); (ii) if there are any changes to the War Risk Trading Warranties of insurance policies required under this contract (including changes to the exclusion zones or the List of Areas of Perceived Enhanced Risk) or changes to War Risk premiums, charges, or deductibles; or (iii) whenever additional premium charges or costs will be incurred as a direct result of compliance with any sailing orders issued by the Charterer under this contract.

The Owner shall ensure that the insurers provide it relevant information in a timely manner. If the Owner has given this required notice to the Charterer, the Charterer will reimburse the Owner for the increase in costs (if any) of insurance premiums, charges, or deductibles which arise from the vessel sailing beyond the applicable War Risk Trading Warranties (including changes to the war risk exclusion zones) when entry into any exclusion zone or Area of Perceived Enhanced Risk under such insurance has been approved in advance by the Charterer. The issuance of sailing orders, by itself, does not constitute approval in advance by the Charterer. The Charterer may give the Owner notice and instructions concerning suspension of commercial War Risk insurance coverage and substitution of Government indemnity or Government War Risk insurance as detailed in the section entitled “Government War Risk Insurance/Indemnity” below.

(3) Additional Wage Costs. The Charterer shall reimburse Owner for the cost of provable additional master and crew wages (including all additional bonuses and payments required) to the extent that such additional costs arise directly from exposure of the Vessel, and/or Vessel’s master and crew, to the risks described in the paragraph entitled “Voyage Instructions” above. However, any of said wages or payments shall not exceed in amount that which would be payable, under applicable laws and regulations, to U.S. civil service mariners in the employ of the Military Sealift Command in a similar port, place, zone, or route. Owner shall notify Charterer of all anticipated additional wage costs prior to entering any location which would trigger such additional costs; and no such costs shall be reimbursable unless Charterer, after notification of such costs, provides approval to enter such location.

3. Government War Risk Insurance / Indemnity

(1) General. Upon receipt of notice and instruction from the Contracting Officer, as specified in the last sentence of Section (2) of the section entitled “War” above, with respect to any area excluded by the War Risk Trading Warranties or included by the Lloyd’s Joint War Committee on the Hull War, Strikes, Terrorism and Related Perils Listed Areas (also known as Listed Areas of Perceived Enhanced Risk) under the Owner’s commercial War Risk coverage, the Owner shall, as soon as practicable, contact its insurance brokers or underwriters and arrange for the suspension of its commercial War Risk insurance upon entry of the vessel into, or extension of stay of the vessel in such area(s), or when the vessel will enter, sail for, or deviate towards the territorial waters of any of the Countries or places, or any other waters described in the Lloyd’s Joint War Committee’s current Listed Areas of Perceived Enhanced Risk, as the case may be, subject to resumption of its commercial War Risk insurance upon exiting such area(s). In such instances, the Owner shall accept the Government’s indemnity or War Risk insurance, whichever is applicable, in lieu of such commercial War Risk insurance. The Owner shall ensure that the suspension of its commercial War Risk coverage is coincident with the time that any Government indemnity or War Risk insurance becomes effective, and shall likewise ensure that its commercial War Risk insurance is resumed at the time when any Government indemnity or War Risk insurance becomes ineffective. The Owner shall retain the same risks, such as deductibles (if any), that it has under its commercial insurance.

(2) Government War Risk Insurance. Under the authority of 46 U.S.C. § 53905, the United States Maritime

Administration (MARAD), at the request of Commander, Military Sealift Command, may furnish the following war risk insurance coverage, which will be effective during the vessel’s transit under this Contract in areas which are in war risk exclusion zones, or waters described in the current Lloyd’s Joint War Committee Listed Areas of Perceived Enhanced Risk, or otherwise excluded under the Owner’s commercial marine War Risk trading warranties, and which are designated by notice from the Contracting Officer to the Owner:

a. War Risk Protection and Indemnity insurance covering all liabilities up to an amount of $250,000,000;

b. War Risk Second Seaman’s coverage, the principal sum of which shall be $200,000 per Crew Member for loss of life.

(3) Government Indemnity. Under the authority of Public Law 85-804 (72 Stat. 972, August 28, 1958) and Executive Order 10789, as amended by Executive Order 11610, the Secretary of Defense or the Secretary of the Navy may authorize the Contracting Officer to indemnify the Owner against loss from risks that would be covered by MARAD war risk coverage as set forth in the paragraph entitled “Government War Risk Insurance” directly above.

In accordance with FAR 12.301(e) and FAR 12.302, the following paragraphs, stating additional terms and conditions consistent with customary commercial practice and necessary for performance of the contract, are added to FAR 52.212-4.

(a) NO COST CANCELLATION OF CONTRACT. The Government shall have the right to cancel the contract at no cost upon 30-days written notice by the Contracting Officer in any option period, including the firm period.

(b) INVOICE ADDRESS. See DFARS 252.232-7006 WIDE AREA WORKFLOW PAYMENT
