The CONTRACT PRICE of the VESSEL shall be adjusted as hereinafter set forth in the event of the following contingencies.  It is hereby understood by both parties that any adjustment of the CONTRACT PRICE as provided for in this Article is by way of liquidated damages and not by way of penalty.

1. DELAYED DELIVERY

	(a)	No adjustment shall be made and the CONTRACT PRICE shall remain unchanged for the first thirty (30) days of the delay in delivery of the VESSEL ending as of 12 o'clock midnight Korean Standard Time on the thirtieth (30th) day of delay beyond the DELIVERY DATE calculated as provided in Article VII.1. hereof.
	(b)	If delivery of the VESSEL is delayed more than thirty (30) days beyond the DELIVERY DATE then, in such event, beginning at midnight of the thirtieth (30th) day after such due date, the CONTRACT PRICE of the VESSEL shall be reduced by U.S. Dollars Twenty Three Thousand (US$ 23,000) for each full day of delay.

-13-

In the event that the BUYER'S REPRESENTATIVE shall advise the BUILDER that he has discovered or believes the construction or materials do not or will not conform to the requirements of this CONTRACT and the SPECIFICATIONS or the PLAN, and the BUILDER shall not agree with the views of the BUYER'S REPRESENTATIVE in such respect, either the BUYER or the BUILDER may, with the agreement of the other party, seek an opinion of the CLASSIFICATION SOCIETY or failing such agreement, request an arbitration in accordance with the provisions of Article XIII hereof.  The CLASSIFICATION SOCIETY or the arbitration tribunal, as the case may be, shall determine whether or not a nonconformity with the provisions of this CONTRACT, the SPECIFICATIONS and the PLAN exists.  If the CLASSIFICATION SOCIETY or the arbitration tribunal, as the case may be, enters a determination in favour of the BUYER, then in such case the BUILDER shall make the necessary alterations or changes.  If the CLASSIFICATION SOCIETY or the arbitration tribunal, as the case may be, enters a determination in favour of the BUILDER, then the time for delivery of the VESSEL shall be extended for the period of delay in construction, if any, occasioned by such proceedings, and the BUYER shall compensate the BUILDER for the proven loss and damages incurred by the BUILDER as a result of the dispute herein referred to.

-14-

	(c)	In the event that the BUYER or the BUYER'S REPRESENTATIVE shall fail to return the plans and drawings to the BUILDER within the time limit as hereinabove provided, such plans and drawings shall be deemed to have been automatically approved without any comment.

	(e)	In the event the plans and drawings submitted by the BUILDER to the BUYER or the BUYER'S REPRESENTATIVE in accordance with this Article do not meet with the BUYER's or the BUYER'S REPRESENTATIVE's approval, the matter may be submitted by either party hereto for determination pursuant to Article XIII hereof.
	(f)	Any actual or deemed approval of the plans and drawings by BUYER or the BUYER'S REPRESENTATIVE shall not in any way diminish the obligations of BUILDER or relieve BUILDER of his obligations hereunder, nor shall any such approval be deemed a waiver by the BUYER of any of its rights or constitute a request for modification, unless otherwise agreed by the BUYER.

ARTICLE VIII : DELAYS AND EXTENSIONS OF TIME (FORCE MAJEURE)

1.	CAUSES OF DELAY
	If, at any time after signing this CONTRACT, either the construction or delivery of the VESSEL or any performance required hereunder as a prerequisite to the delivery thereof is delayed by any of the following events, namely: war, acts of state or government, blockade, revolution, insurrections, mobilization, civil commotion, riots or sabotage; strikes, lockouts or other labour disturbances happening generally in the relevant location or industry sector; Acts of God or the public enemy, quarantines, plague or other epidemics; shortage or prolonged failure of electric current, freight embargoes, or shortage of materials, machinery or equipment or an inability to obtain delivery or delays in delivery of materials, machinery or equipment, provided that at the time of ordering the same could reasonably be expected by the BUILDER to be delivered in time; earthquakes, tidal waves, typhoons, hurricanes, prolonged or unusually severe weather conditions; or destruction of the premises or works of the BUILDER or its sub-contractors, or of the VESSEL, or any part thereof, by fire, landslides, flood, lightning or explosion; or delays in the BUILDER's other commitments directly related to the construction activities at the SHIPYARD resulting from any such causes as described in this Paragraph 1, which in turn delay the construction of the VESSEL or the BUILDER's performance under the CONTRACT; or other causes beyond the control of the BUILDER, or its sub-contractors, as the case may be, which are not due to the negligence or default of the BUILDER or its subcontractors using reasonable care; or for any other causes which, under the terms of this CONTRACT, authorise and permit extension of the time for delivery of the VESSEL, then, in the event of delays due to the happening of any of the aforementioned contingencies, the DELIVERY DATE of the VESSEL under this CONTRACT shall be extended for the period of time that the VESSEL is delayed which shall not exceed the total accumulated time of all such delays.
	The BUILDER shall, however, always do his utmost to minimise the delay in delivery of the VESSEL.
2.	NOTICE OF DELAYS
	Within two (2) weeks from the date of commencement of any delay on account of which the BUILDER claims that it is entitled under this CONTRACT to an extension of the DELIVERY DATE of the VESSEL, excluding delays due to arbitration, the BUILDER shall

-28-

	advise the BUYER by email or facsimile of the date such delay commenced, the reasons thereof and, if possible, its estimated duration of the probable delay in the delivery of the VESSEL, and shall supply the BUYER if reasonably available with evidence to justify the delay claimed. Failure of the BUILDER to issue a notification and/or claim for an extension of the DELIVERY DATE within two (2) weeks as aforesaid, shall be deemed to be a waiver by the BUILDER of its right to seek such extension.
	Within one (1) week after such delay ends, the BUILDER shall likewise advise the BUYER by email or facsimile of the date that such delay ended, and also, shall specify the period of time by which the BUILDER claims the DELIVERY DATE should be extended by reason of such delay. Failure of the BUYER to object to the BUILDER's notification of any claim for extension of the DELIVERY DATE within one (1) week after receipt by the BUYER of such notification shall be deemed to be a waiver by the BUYER of its right to object to such extension.

Such cancellation shall be effective as of the date the notice thereof is received by the BUILDER.
	If the BUYER has not served the notice of cancellation as provided in the above or Article III.1. hereof, the BUILDER may, at any time after expiration of the accumulated time of the delay in delivery, either two hundred and seventy (270) days in case of the delay in this Paragraph or two hundred and ten (210) days in case of the delay in Article III.1, notify the BUYER of the future date upon which the BUILDER estimates the VESSEL will be ready for delivery and demand by email or facsimile that the BUYER make an election either to cancel this CONTRACT or to consent to the delivery of the VESSEL at such future date, in which case the BUYER shall, within seven (7) days after receipt of such demand, make and notify the BUILDER of such election. If the BUYER elects to consent to the delivery of the VESSEL at such future date (or other future date as the parties may agree):
	(a)	Such future date shall become the contractual delivery date for the purposes of this

-29-

		CONTRACT and shall be subject to extension by reason of permissible delays as herein provided, and
	(b)	If the VESSEL is not delivered by such revised contractual delivery date (as extended by reason of permissible delays), the BUYER shall have the same right of cancellation upon the same terms as provided in the above and Article III. 1.
	If the BUYER shall not make an election within seven (7) days as provided hereinabove, the BUYER shall be deemed to have accepted such extension of the DELIVERY DATE to the future delivery date indicated by the BUILDER.
4.	DEFINITION OF PERMISSIBLE DELAYS

	The BUILDER, for a further period of twelve (12) months in addition to the twelve (12) month period stipulated above, guarantees the main engine of the VESSEL, against all defects which are due to defective materials, faulty design, poor workmanship and/or defective equipment.

However, email or facsimiled advice received by the BUILDER within three (3) days

-31-

	after such expiry date that a claim is forthcoming will be sufficient compliance with the requirement as to time, provided that such emailed or facsimiled advice shall include at least a brief description of the defect including the identity of the equipment, extent of damage, name and number of any replacement part and description of any remedial work required, and that full particulars are given to the BUILDER not later than seven (7) days after the expiry date.

-32-

		Upon the BUILDER's acceptance of the defects as justifying remedy under this Article, or upon award of the arbitration so determining, the BUILDER shall compensate the BUYER an amount equal to the reasonable cost of making the same repairs or replacements at the SHIPYARD.
	(c)	In the event that it is necessary for the BUILDER to forward a replacement for a defective part under this guarantee, replacement parts shall be shipped to the BUYER under the C.I.F terms to the BUYER's nominated port. The BUILDER reserves the option to retrieve, at the BUILDER's cost, any of the replaced equipment/parts in case defects are remedied in accordance with the provisions in this Article.
	(d)	Any dispute under this Article shall be referred to arbitration in accordance with the provisions of Article XIII hereof.

	(b)	The BUILDER shall be under no obligation with respect to defects in respect of which the BUILDER has not received notice in accordance with Paragraph 2 of this Article by the expiry date of the guarantee specified in Paragraph 1, nor in any event shall the BUILDER be liable for any worsening of the defects after the expiry date of the guarantee specified in Paragraph 1.

	(d)	The BUILDER shall not be obliged to repair, not be liable for, damage to the VESSEL or any part of the equipment thereof, which after delivery of the VESSEL, is caused other than by the defects of the nature specified in this Article. The guarantees contained as hereinabove in this Article replace and exclude any other liability, guarantee, warranty and/or condition imposed or implied by statute, common law, custom, contract (including this CONTRACT) or otherwise on the part of the BUILDER by reason of the construction and sale of the VESSEL for and to the BUYER or for any other reason whatsoever.
