In the event Certification of the DSOX System does not occur prior to the expiration of the Certification Period, DCL shall have the option to purchase an “Exhaust System” (to be defined as and consist of all equipment, materials and control systems necessary for an exhaust scrubber system to service one engine that will reduce exhaust sulfur content to no more than 0.1%, and will reduce exhaust carbon dioxide (CO2) content by at least 20%, and will reduce exhaust nitrous oxides (NOx) content by at least 20% (“Exhaust Standard”)), to be installed and commissioned by a third party on the Contract Vessel at DCL’s expense, from Contractor for the amount set forth in the Exhaust System Confidential Price Summary (the “Exhaust Option”). DCL may exercise the Exhaust Option by notifying Contractor in writing of DCL’s intent to exercise the Exhaust Option within one-hundred eighty (180) days following the expiration date of the Certification Period. In the event that DCL exercises the Exhaust Option, then: (i) Contractor will credit the actual purchase payments made by DCL for the DSOX System, together with all necessary costs DCL expended toward Certification of the DSOX System, toward the purchase price of the Exhaust System; (ii) the parties will enter into an agreement for the purchase of the Exhaust System on mutually agreeable terms substantially similar to terms of this Agreement within a reasonable period after exercise of the Exhaust Option; and (iii) DCL shall make an additional payment of Seven Hundred Fifty Thousand United States Dollars (US$750,000) on execution of the agreement for the purchase of the Exhaust System, which shall be credited against the price of the Exhaust System.

eighty (180) days following the determination by Lloyds Register that the Exhaust System meets the Exhaust Standard. In the event the the Exhaust System does not meet the Exhaust Standard, then: (i) Contractor shall, at the sole discretion and request of DCL, remove the DSOX System and/or the Exhaust System from the Contract Vessel within 90 days after request by DCL, all at Contractor’s own cost and expense, except that DCL will be responsible for the provision and cost of items listed under “RESPONSIBILITIES OF DCL” set forth in Exhibit A; (ii) DCL shall not be required to make any additional payments to Contractor in connection the Exhaust System; and, (iii) thereafter the parties will have no other obligations to each other except for third party indemnities pursuant to Section 6, the confidentiality obligations pursuant to Exhibit F, and any other obligations or rights under this Agreement that are intended to survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement (it being understood by the Parties that this provision is not intended to, and does not, limit any rights or remedies available to the Parties for any breach of this Agreement).
(f)
DCL shall have the option to purchase any additional Exhaust Systems that DCL desires to be installed on vessels operated by DCL, with installation and commissioning by a third party at DCL’s expense, from Contractor for the amount set forth in the Exhaust System Confidential Price Summary (the “Exhaust X Unit Option”). DCL may exercise the Exhaust X Unit Option on a unit by unit basis (DCL may order one or multiple units at a time) by notifying Contractor in writing of DCL’s intent to exercise the Exhaust Option any time prior to December 31, 2020. In the event that DCL exercises an Exhaust X Unit Option, then: (i) the parties will enter into an agreement for the purchase of the Exhaust System on mutually agreeable terms substantially similar to terms of this Agreement within a reasonable period after exercise of the Exhaust X Unit Option; and (ii) DCL shall make a payment of Seven Hundred Fifty Thousand United States Dollars (US$750,000) for each Exhaust System on execution of the agreement for the purchase of the Exhaust System, which shall be credited against the total price.
(g)
DCL covenants and warrants that so long as any DSOX System is in use on any vessel operated by DCL, and so long as all Exhaust Systems in use on any vessel operated by DCL continue to meet the Exhaust Standard, DCL will not use any exhaust scrubber or other technology that removes sulfur from exhaust in combination with the DSOX System aboard any vessel operated by DCL. However, if any Exhaust System in use on any vessel operated by DCL fails to meet the Exhaust Standard, DCL has no obligation to purchase exhaust gas scrubbers from Contractor and can continue to use any DSOX System in use on any vessel operated by DCL in combination with any exhaust scrubber technology which is commercially available. If the DSOX System does not receive Certification within the Certification Period or if the Exhaust System does not meet the Exhaust Standard, such events shall not be defaults by the Contractor, it being understood that the Contractor shall make best efforts to obtain such results, but makes no covenants or warranties to that effect. The Parties understand that in any event, all initial payments paid to Contractor in connection with any DSOX System or any Exhaust System are non-refundable.
