5.3

Waiver.

5.5

Awareness of Seller. Where any Warranty is qualified by reference to the awareness, knowledge, information or belief of the Seller (or any similar expression), such awareness, knowledge, information and belief shall be limited to the actual knowledge of Nicolas Saverys, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ De Brabandere, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, Karel Stes, and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, in each case having made all reasonable enquiries.

5.6

Data Room Disclosure. In the absence of any fraud, dishonesty or wilful concealment on the part of the Seller or any of its representatives, agents or advisers, the Warranties are qualified by reference to those matters fairly Disclosed.

No matter shall be deemed fairly Disclosed unless it is accurately, unambiguously, expressly and explicitly contained in the Data Room, in a manner not misleading, which enables the Purchaser or its advisers to assess the impact of such matter on the relevant Warranty.

Except to the extent that matters are fairly Disclosed, the Purchaser shall not be prevented from making any Claim, and the amount recoverable by the Purchaser shall not be reduced, because relevant facts, matters or circumstances were known to, or could have been discovered by, the Purchaser, its advisers or agents, or any of its or their respective directors, officers or employees, on or before the date of this Agreement.

6	REMEDIES OF THE PURCHASER

6.1

(a)	pay 50 per cent of the amount of the Claim to the Purchaser, on a dollar for dollar basis; or

(b)	pay 100 per cent of the amount of the Claim directly to the Company or the relevant Subsidiary, on a dollar for dollar basis.

6.4

6.5

Downward adjustment of Consideration. The Seller shall have no obligation to indemnify the Purchaser in respect of any Claim if and to the extent that the events, matters or circumstances giving rise to the Claim have been taken into account in any downward adjustment of the Consideration, in accordance with Clause 3.3.

7	SPECIFIC INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS

7.1

Limits on liability. The provisions of Schedule 3 shall apply as if set out in this Clause 8 in full.

(a)	it is duly formed, validly existing and:

(i)

TGP is in good standing under the laws of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Islands; and

(ii)

the Purchaser has not been declared bankrupt or put under judicial liquidation by a judgement rendered by the Commercial Court of the City of Luxembourg,

and it has the requisite power and authority to enter into, execute, deliver and perform all its obligations under the Transaction Documents to which it is a party;

(b)	the Transaction Documents to which it is a party have been duly authorised, executed and delivered by it and each constitutes legal, valid and binding obligations enforceable against it in accordance with their respective terms;

(c)

the execution and delivery of, and performance by it of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party does not and will not result in a breach of, or constitute any default under, any law or regulation, any order, judgement or decree by any court or governmental agency to which it is a party or by which it is bound, its constitutional documents or any agreement to which it is a party; and

(d)	All consents, licences, approvals and authorisations required by it in connection with the Transaction Documents to which it is a party and the transactions contemplated thereby have been obtained and are in full force and effect.

9.3

Each warranty in this Clause 9 shall be construed as a separate and independent warranty and, save as expressly provided otherwise, shall not be limited or restricted by reference to or inference from any other terms of this Agreement.

If the “Donau” is sold or scrapped for less than $8 million before the next dry-docking, the Seller shall adjust the Consideration retroactively in favour of the Purchaser. The Seller undertakes to repay any amounts due within thirty business days after the effective transfer of ownership of the Donau or receipt by the Company of the consideration paid for the “Donau”, whichever event occurs first.

(b)

A waiver by any person of a breach of or default under any Transaction Document shall not constitute a waiver of any other breach or default, shall not affect the other terms of any Transaction Document or the rights of any other person thereto and shall not prevent a party from subsequently requiring compliance with the waived obligation.

(c)

Any waiver (in whole or in part) of any right or remedy under this Agreement must be set out in writing, signed by or on behalf of the person granting the waiver and may be given subject to any conditions thought fit by the grantor and, unless otherwise expressly stated, any waiver shall be effective only in the instance and only for the purpose for, and in favour of the person to, which it is given.
