II.

ARTICLE 3.B. (Fifth Paragraph) DELIVERY AND ACCEPTANCE

        "Each date for such delivery of each Hull described in the foregoing four paragraphs is herein called the "Delivery Date" for such Vessel. Delivery shall be evidenced by the execution and delivery by Bollinger and Buyer of a Protocol of Delivery and Acceptance substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A. Upon execution and delivery of such Protocol, subject to the terms of Article 6A, title to and risk of damage to or loss of the Vessel shall pass to Buyer. Until delivery is effected by the execution and delivery of such Protocol, title to and risk of damage or loss of the Vessel and its equipment are entirely with Bollinger."

RISK OF LOSS AND INSURANCE

        "A.    Title to the Work, and all material, machinery and equipment (in each case, other than that furnished by Buyer) shall vest in Buyer upon execution and delivery of a Protocol of Delivery and Acceptance respecting each Vessel. Bollinger shall have during construction and until execution and delivery of a Protocol of Delivery and Acceptance, title to and risk of loss or damage to the Vessel and the Work, including all material, machinery, and equipment (in each case, other than that furnished by Buyer), whether or not already attached to or installed in the Vessel. With respect to items (including Buyer-furnished equipment) furnished by parties other than Bollinger, Bollinger shall have risk of loss or damage commencing at the time such items have been received by Bollinger at the Shipyard. Buyer shall report, or cause to be reported as promptly as possible, to Bollinger the dates of arrival at Bollinger's facility, of all materials and equipment being furnished by any party other than Bollinger and the value thereof for insurance purposes. Title to all Buyer-furnished materials and equipment is at all times recognized by Bollinger to be vested in Buyer free and clear of any interest or claim of Bollinger or of any other person through Bollinger.

        Delivery and acceptance of the Vessel by execution and delivery of a Protocol of Delivery and Acceptance by Bollinger and Buyer shall transfer title to and risk of loss or damage of the Vessel, and all work, material, machinery, and equipment respecting such Vessel, to Buyer."

        "(z)    Bollinger shall fail to cause to be maintained in full force and effect the Guaranty satisfying the terms of this Agreement respecting a Vessel from and including the dates specified in Article 2(F) hereto to and including the Delivery Date of such Vessel."

        "(i)    may terminate the employment of Bollinger and take possession of all materials, equipment, tools, and machinery thereon owned or furnished by Buyer and stored by Bollinger, and may enter the premises of Bollinger and, at Buyer's option, remove one Vessel or all Vessels and all components thereof, Buyer-furnished equipment and material relating thereto (and upon such removal title shall be deemed vested in Buyer with respect to all removed Vessels and related components and materials), and may finish the work by whatever method Buyer may deem appropriate at the facilities of Bollinger or at another location or facility. If the unpaid balance of the Agreement Price for any Vessel exceeds the costs of finishing the work, including compensation for additional services made necessary thereby, and damages sustained by Buyer, such excess shall be paid to Bollinger. If such costs exceed the unpaid balance, Bollinger shall pay the difference to Buyer; or"
