OFFHIRE

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.

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.

LOSS OF VESSEL

Should a Vessel be either lost or missing, or become a constructive total loss, the portion of the charter for such

Vessel 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 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 is ascertained, as the case may be.

INSURANCE

(1) General. During the full period of this Charter Party, the Owner shall maintain marine insurance coverage on the Vessel, including Hull and Machinery, Protection and Indemnity (P&I), Pollution Liability, War Risk Hull and Machinery, War Risk P&I and Second Seamen's War Risk. Except as otherwise provided in this Charter

Party, the expense for such insurance coverages shall be for the Owner's account and shall be deemed to be included in the hire payable under this Charter Party. 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 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.

WAR

(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, 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.

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 (j)” 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.

PASS THROUGH REIMBURSABLES

The Government will reimburse the Contractor only for the actual price paid for those supplies and services that are expressly identified as reimbursable items by this contract. “Actual price" paid by the Contractor for such supplies and services, includes tax paid, if any, and reduced by any and all credits and rebates, whether accrued or realized, associated with the supplies and services provided. “Actual price” does not include material handling charges, overhead, general and administrative costs, profit, or any other indirect cost that is in any way associated with the Contractor’s purchase or provision of such supplies and services. The parties expressly agree that the offered and accepted daily rate includes all costs incurred or paid by the Contractor, including but not limited to material handling charges, overhead, general and administrative costs, or profit, that are in any way associated with the Contractor’s purchase or provision of such supplies and services.

To be eligible to receive reimbursement for services and supplies identified in this contract as reimbursable items and obtained in support of this contract, the Contractor must obtain at least three quotes for each transaction in excess of $3,000 to ensure that adequate price competition was sought or the Contractor must provide an acceptable justification as to why it was impracticable to do so. In the case of fuel purchases, unless directed otherwise by the

Contracting Officer, the Contractor shall provide the documentation listed in subparagraphs (1) through (3) below to the Contracting Officer for approval prior to purchasing fuel. For purchases of services and supplies other than fuel, the Contractor need provide the aforementioned documentation only when requested by the Contracting Officer.

The Contractor shall maintain documentation of all reimbursable purchases until three years after the contract is completed and shall provide access to and copies of such documentation when requested by the Contracting Officer.

(1) A description of the supplies or services to be subcontracted

(2) Identification of the proposed subcontractor and price

(3) Suppliers contacted and price quotes. Include other pertinent data such as price lists used if suppliers were not contacted and information regarding the selection if other than price-related factors were considered

The Contracting Officer may reduce the reimbursement by any amount above that which the Contracting Officer finds, in his/her sole discretion, is greater than that which is fair and reasonable for the supplies or services provided, giving due consideration to the facts and circumstances prevailing at the time that the Contractor procured the supplies and services. Disputes as to the amount by which any reimbursement is reduced shall be resolved in accordance with the “Disputes” clause of the contract. It shall be the Contractor’s burden to demonstrate that the price it paid for reimbursable supplies and services was fair and reasonable.

When the Contractor expects total funding expended for reimbursable items to reach 85 percent of the total funds available on each Reimbursable Supplies and Services CLIN, the Contractor shall notify the Contracting Officer and the COR and any other Government official identified by the Contracting Officer. The notice shall state the estimated amount of additional funds required to continue performance for the period specified in the Schedule. The

Contractor shall not exceed or incur costs that exceed the amount of funding stated on each Reimbursable Supplies and Services CLIN at the time a reimbursable item is ordered.

The Government is not obligated to reimburse the Contractor for otherwise reimbursable supplies and services in excess of the funded amount stated in the Schedule under each Reimbursable CLIN.

The Contractor is not obligated to continue performance of any reimbursable work under this Contract or otherwise incur costs for reimbursable supplies or services in excess of the funded amount stated in the Schedule under each

Reimbursable CLIN unless the Contracting Officer notifies the Contractor that the funded amount stated in the

Schedule under the applicable Reimbursables CLIN has been increased. Notification shall be in writing. In the event notification is made orally, such notification shall be followed up in writing within two working days.

No notice, communication, or representation from any person other than the Contracting Officer shall affect the

Government’s obligation to reimburse the Contractor.

Change orders shall not be considered an authorization to exceed the funded amount stated in the Schedule under the

Reimbursable CLIN unless they contain a statement expressly increasing the funded amount of the Reimbursables

CLIN by a sufficient amount to cover the change order.

CLAUSES INCORPORATED BY FULL TEXT

52.204-13 SYSTEM FOR AWARD MANAGEMENT MAINTENANCE (JULY 2013)

(a) Definitions. As used in this clause--

Data Universal Numbering System (DUNS) number means the 9-digit number assigned by Dun and

Bradstreet, Inc. (D&B) to identify unique business entities, which is used as the identification number for

Federal Contractors.

Data Universal Numbering System+4 (DUNS+4) number means the DUNS number assigned by D&B plus a 4-character suffix that may be assigned by a business concern. (D&B has no affiliation with this 4-character suffix.) This 4-character suffix may be assigned at the discretion of the business concern to establish additional SAM records for identifying alternative Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) accounts

(see the FAR at subpart 32.11) for the same concern.

Registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) database means that—

(1) The Contractor has entered all mandatory information, including the DUNS number or the DUNS+4 number, the Contractor and Government Entity (CAGE) code, as well as data required by the Federal

Funding Accountability and Transparency Act of 2006 (see subpart 4.14), into the SAM database;

(2) The Contractor has completed the Core, Assertions, Representations and Certifications, and Points of

Contact sections of the registration in the SAM database;

(3) The Government has validated all mandatory data fields, to include validation of the Taxpayer

Identification Number (TIN) with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). The Contractor will be required to provide consent for TIN validation to the Government as a part of the SAM registration process; and

(4) The Government has marked the record ``Active''.

System for Award Management (SAM) means the primary Government repository for prospective

Federal awardee and Federal awardee information and the centralized Government system for certain contracting, grants, and other assistance-related processes. It includes—

(1) Data collected from prospective Federal awardees required for the conduct of business with the

Government;

(2) Prospective contractor-submitted annual representations and certifications in accordance with FAR subpart 4.12; and

(3) Identification of those parties excluded from receiving Federal contracts, certain subcontracts, and certain types of Federal financial and non-financial assistance and benefits.

(b) The Contractor is responsible for the accuracy and completeness of the data within the SAM database, and for any liability resulting from the Government's reliance on inaccurate or incomplete data. To remain registered in the SAM database after the initial registration, the Contractor is required to review and update on an annual basis, from the date of initial registration or subsequent updates, its information in the SAM database to ensure it is current, accurate and complete. Updating information in the SAM does not alter the terms and conditions of this contract and is not a substitute for a properly executed contractual document.

(c)(1)(i) If a Contractor has legally changed its business name, doing business as name, or division name

(whichever is shown on the contract), or has transferred the assets used in performing the contract, but has not completed the necessary requirements regarding novation and change-of-name agreements in subpart

42.12, the Contractor shall provide the responsible Contracting Officer a minimum of one business day's written notification of its intention to—

(A) Change the name in the SAM database;

(B) Comply with the requirements of subpart 42.12 of the FAR; and

(C) Agree in writing to the timeline and procedures specified by the responsible Contracting Officer. The

Contractor shall provide with the notification sufficient documentation to support the legally changed name.

(ii) If the Contractor fails to comply with the requirements of paragraph

(c)(1)(i) of this clause, or fails to perform the agreement at paragraph (c)(1)(i)(C) of this clause, and, in the absence of a properly executed novation or change-of-name agreement, the SAM information that shows the Contractor to be other than the Contractor indicated in the contract will be considered to be incorrect information within the meaning of the ``Suspension of Payment'' paragraph of the electronic funds transfer (EFT) clause of this contract.

(2) The Contractor shall not change the name or address for EFT payments or manual payments, as appropriate, in the SAM record to reflect an assignee for the purpose of assignment of claims (see FAR subpart 32.8, Assignment of Claims). Assignees shall be separately registered in the SAM. Information provided to the Contractor's SAM record that indicates payments, including those made by EFT, to an ultimate recipient other than that Contractor will be considered to be incorrect information within the meaning of the ``Suspension of Payment'' paragraph of the EFT clause of this contract.

(3) The Contractor shall ensure that the DUNS number is maintained with Dun & Bradstreet throughout the life of the contract. The Contractor shall communicate any change to the DUNS number to the

Contracting Officer within…
