REPLACE PART III(d)(1) with the following language:

Conduct of Master, Officers, and Crew. The Master, Officers, and crew shall be appointed or hired by the Owner and shall be deemed to be the servants and agents of the Owner at all times except as otherwise specified in this Charter. The Master of the Vessel shall be under the Charterer’s direction with regard to the employment of the Vessel, but shall not be under the Charterer's orders with regard to the navigation, care, and custody of the Vessel. If the Charterer shall have reason to be dissatisfied with the conduct of the Master, Officers, or crew, the Owner shall, upon receiving the particulars of the complaint, investigate the matter and resolve the issue to the satisfaction of the charterer. Any and all additional costs including but not limited to attorney’s fees incurred as a result of removal of such personnel shall be for the Owner’s account.

ADD PART IV (d) (3): Offerors shall identify those ports in which they have any active arrest warrants or similar actions pending that would either delay the vessel from performing, or otherwise prevent the vessel from free entry/departure.

The USMMA will determine whether it has cadets available for cadet training. Cadet wages, berthing, training, subsistence, and transportation shall be solely the responsibility of the Owner/Operator. If USMMA cadets are not available, the Owner shall participate in programs for Merchant Marine cadet training under the sponsorship of, and in accordance with the policies and procedures of, accredited state academies. The state academies will determine whether they have cadets available for cadet training. Available positions shall be distributed as equally as possible among the requesting schools. Cadet wages, berthing, training, subsistence, and transportation shall be solely the responsibility of the Owner.

ADD PART IV (ar): Option to Purchase This Time Chartered Vessel (TAILORD) - The Government has an option to purchase the vessel as stated herein. The Government may purchase the vessel following the completion of any contract period provided this option to purchase is exercised by the giving of written notice no later than the end of the then current contract period. "Contract period" means the base period or any option period following the exercise of an option under FAR 52.217-9, including any extension pursuant to FAR 52.217-8. Upon exercise of this purchase option, the Government and the Contractor shall proceed diligently to closing which shall include, inter alia, transfer of title warranted by Contractor to be free of any claims, liens, charges, or other encumbrances of any kind or nature. Closing shall occur no later than thirty (30) calendar days following the end of the contract period in which the option is exercised. The purchase price shall be the GREATER of the contractor's offered purchase price as stated in this time charter contract or the "fair market value" of the vessel at the time this option is exercised.

“Fair market Value” shall be determined by an appraiser, appointed and contracted solely by the Government, who shall provide such appraisal no earlier than ninety (90) days prior to the end of the contract period in which this option to purchase is exercised.

The vessel shall be delivered to the Government at the place and time designated in the option exercise notice. If the purchase price is the "fair market value" of the vessel, then the vessel shall be delivered in the condition considered by the appraiser in determining the "fair market value." If the purchase price is the contractor's offered option purchase price, then the vessel shall be delivered in the condition that the Government accepted it at the initial time of on-hire under this time charter contract, and previously issued modifications, ordinary wear and tear excepted.

G. INSURANCE.

(Paragraph’s with the Checked Box are incorporated into this contract)

G‐1 Vessel Owner’s Insurance.

G‐1.1 During the full period of this Charter Party, Contractor shall maintain marine insurance coverage on the Vessel, including:

i. Hull and Machinery,

ii. Protection and Indemnity (P&I) (including pollution liability),

iii. War Risk Hull and Machinery,

iv. War Risk Protection and Indemnity (P&I), and

v. Second Seaman’s War Risk. (the principal sum of which shall be $200,000.00 per Master, Officer, or crew member (this is also the loss-of-life benefit)).

Except as otherwise expressly provided in Section G‐1.3 below or as expressly provided in the section entitled “War” (H‐1), all expenses for such insurance coverage (including but not limited to premiums, additional premiums, calls, commissions, overspill claims, advancements, assessments, deductibles, and all other insurance costs regardless of Charterer or Contractor fault, neglect, action or inaction, or cause of claim or cost whatsoever) shall be for Contractor’s account and shall be deemed to be included in the hire payable under this Charter Party. Contractor shall make insurance claims under applicable policies for all damages, injuries, or claims arising from or related to this Charter when directed by Charterer regardless of Charterer’s fault, neglect, action, inaction, or breach of clauses, obligations or warranties (express, implied or otherwise) of this Charter Contract.

1.1.1 At least 10 calendar days prior to delivery of Vessel, Contractor shall provide the Contracting Officer copies of policies or cover notes evidencing that required coverage has been obtained and demonstrating that the coverage is consistent with the requirements of this section.

Contractor’s failure to provide the required policies or cover notes may be considered material breach of this Contract.

G‐1.2 Contractor agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Charterer for all liability, costs, or expenses arising from or related to this contract and involving covered risks and losses under the terms of the insurance required in G-1.1 above. Contractor shall obtain an endorsement on all of Contractor’s insurance policies listed in Section G-1.1 by which Contractor’s Insurer “waives all rights of subrogation against the United States of America regardless of amount.”

G‐1.3 If Vessel is sent beyond the limits of American Institute Trade Warranties under this Charter Party, the Charterer agrees to reimburse the Contractor for the actual extra cost of additional premiums and/or increased deductible levels to the extent such extra cost is occasioned by the Vessel’s trading beyond such limits.

Contractor shall immediately notify Charterer whenever any sailing orders will send the Vessel beyond such limits, shall identify to Charterer any anticipated additional cost of insurance relating thereto, and shall obtain Charterer’s approval to proceed beyond such limits prior to doing so. If Contractor fails to provide the

MSC DRYTIME 2013 (Rev 1 (10-13)) I-14 notifications required or to obtain Charterer’s informed prior approval, Charterer shall not be required to reimburse the Contractor for the costs described in this paragraph. The issuance of sailing orders, by itself, does not constitute approval in advance by Charterer.

G-1.4 All policies shall contain an endorsement stating that “in the event Insurer receives from Vessel Owner any notice of cancellation or any notice of material change to the policy or its coverage, the cancellation or change shall not be effective until 30 days after written notice thereof is provided to Charterer’s Contracting Officer by the Insurer (unless such change is directed by the Charterer’s Contracting Officer).” Additionally, Contractor shall immediately notify Charterer of any change whatsoever in coverage.

G-2 Charterer Named Additional Assured on Owner’s Hull Policy, War Risk Hull Policy, and Second Seaman’s War Risk Policy.

G-2.1 The United States of America (as Charterer) shall be named as an additional assured with waiver of subrogation under the Contractor’s Hull and Machinery policy (and Increased Value policy if applicable), War Risk Hull and Machinery policy, and Second Seaman’s War Risk policy.

2.1.1 At least 10 calendar days prior to delivery of vessel, Contractor shall provide the Contracting Officer copies of policies or cover notes evidencing that the required coverage has been obtained. Contractor’s failure to provide the required policies or cover notes may be considered material breach of this contract.

G-2.2 “Other than owner” and “as owner” limitations. If Contractor’s Hull and Machinery policy (and Increased Value policy if applicable), War Risk Hull and Machinery policy, or Second Seaman’s War Risk policy contain(s) any provision limiting coverage under the policy only to liabilities arising as owner of the vessel, Contractor shall arrange for such limiting provision to be stricken from the policy.

G-2.2.1 If Contractor’s Hull and Machinery policy (and Increased Value policy if applicable), War Risk Hull and Machinery policy, or Second Seaman’s War Risk policy contain(s) any provision designed to limit the effect of striking “other than owner” or “as owner” provisions as required in Section G-2.2, such provisions shall also be amended to ensure Charterer is provided full benefit of the insurance for its acts as Charterer.

G‐2.3 Limitations of Coverage to U.S. Limitation of Shipowners’ Liability Act (or similar) limitation amounts. If Contractor’s Hull and Machinery policy (and Increased Value policy if applicable), War Risk Hull and Machinery policy, and/or Second Seaman’s War Risk policy contain(s) any provision(s) limiting maximum payment to Owner in any instance to the amount to which Owner is able to limit Owner’s liability pursuant to the U.S. Limitation of Shipowners’ Liability Act of 1851, the 1976 Convention on Limitation of Liability for Maritime Claims, or any similar law, Contractor shall arrange for such limiting language to be stricken or amended to ensure the policy or policies are not similarly limited in payment or coverage amount with respect to coverage afforded the United States of America as additional assured Charterer.

G‐3 P&I Insurance for Charterer’s Risks or Time Charterer Protection and Indemnity (P&I) with

P&I War Risk Coverage.

G‐3.1 Contractor shall obtain P&I Insurance for Charterer’s Risks or a Time Charterer Protection and Indemnity policy/entry with P&I War Risk coverage for the United States of America (as Charterer) covering all risks typically covered by P&I Insurance for Charterer’s Risks or Time Charterer Protection and Indemnity entries with P&I War Risk coverages in Protection and Indemnity associations that are members of the International Group. Except as otherwise expressly provided in the section entitled “War,” all expense of such policy/entry described in this section (including but not limited to premiums, additional premiums, calls, commissions, overspill claims, advancements, assessments, deductibles, and all other insurance costs regardless of Charterer or Contractor fault, neglect, action or inaction, or cause of claim or cost whatsoever) shall be for Contractor’s account and shall be deemed to be included in the hire payable under this Charter Party. Contractor shall make insurance claims under the Time Charterer Protection and Indemnity policy/entry described in this section when directed by Charterer.

MSC DRYTIME 2013 (Rev 1 (10-13)) I-15

3.1.1 At least 10 calendar days prior to delivery of Vessel, Contractor shall provide the Contracting Officer a copy of the policy. Contractor’s failure to provide the required copy of the policy may be considered material breach of this Contract.

3.1.2 The Time Charterer Protection and Indemnity policy/entry with P&I War Risk coverage shall provide coverage of $500,000,000.00.

G‐3.2 Charterer shall not be obliged to declare to the insurer all ships chartered by it. Contractor will advise the insurer that the Charterer will not declare all ships chartered by it to the insurer, and shall obtain an endorsement on the policy stating, “the United States of America, as Charterer, is not required to declare to [insert insurer name] all ships chartered by it.”

G-4 Contractor to Indemnify. If Contractor fails to name the United States as additional assured with waiver of subrogation on Contractor’s Hull and Machinery policy (and Increased Value policy if applicable), War Risk Hull and Machinery policy, or Second Seaman’s War Risk policy as required by Section G-2; or fails to obtain for the United States the P&I Insurance for Charterer’s Risks or Time Charterer P&I policy/entry with War Risks coverage required by Section G-3; the Contractor shall indemnify and hold harmless the Charterer for all liability, costs, or expenses involving covered risks and losses under the required insurance policies/coverage.

G-4.1 Contractor shall not, through action or inaction (including but not limited to failing to meet all conditions of a policy, causing through action or inaction cessation of a policy, or violating any warranty of a policy), vitiate or void the coverage afforded by the Contractor’s Hull and Machinery policy (and Increased Value policy if applicable), War Risk Hull and Machinery policy, Second Seaman’s War Risk policy, or the coverage afforded by the Time Charterer Protection and Indemnity policy/entry with P&I War Risk coverage.

If any such policy is vitiated or voided by Contractor’s action or inaction as described in this Section G-4.1, Contractor shall indemnify and hold harmless the Charterer for all liability, costs, or expenses which would have been covered by the policy had such policy or coverage remained in full force and effect.

G-4.2 In the event Contractor fails to strike “other than owner” or “as owner” provisions per Section G‐2.2, fails to amend supplemental limiting provisions as described in Section G‐2.2.1, or fails to amend provisions limiting payment or coverage as described in Section G-2.3, Contractor shall indemnify and hold harmless the Charterer for all liability, costs, or expenses which would have been covered by Contractor’s Hull and Machinery policy (and Increased Value policy if applicable), War Risk Hull and Machinery policy, and Second Seaman’s War Risk policy had such provisions been stricken or amended as required.

H‐1 War.

H‐1.1 Voyage Instructions. Operating limits of the Vessel subject to this Contract shall be worldwide. If the Vessel is ordered under this Charter Party to any port, place, zone, or route 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 Contractor 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 Contractor indemnification against said risks pursuant to Public Law 85‐804 (72 Stat. 972, August 28, 1958).

H‐1.2 The Contractor shall immediately notify the Charterer: (i) whenever any sailing orders will result in the 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 Hull War, Strikes, Terrorism and Related Perils Listed Areas); (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 Hull War, Strikes, Terrorism and Related Perils Listed Areas) 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 Contractor shall ensure that the insurers provide it relevant information in a timely manner. If the Contractor has given this required notice to the Charterer, the Charterer will reimburse the Contractor 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

MSC DRYTIME 2013 (Rev 1 (10-13)) I-16 risk exclusion zones) when entry into any exclusion zone or Hull War, Strikes, Terrorism and Related Perils Listed Areas 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 Contractor 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.

H‐1.3 Additional Wage Costs. The Charterer shall reimburse Contractor 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.
