　　到达卸货港ARRIVAL AT UNLOADING PORT

　　在LNG船舶离开装货港之后，卖方或LNG船长需立即向买方发出通知，对该LNG船舶离开装货港的日期和时间，以及预计到达时间(ETA)进行确认。卖方需在上述通知中，对下列事项进行说明：

　　As soon as possible after the LNG Ship has departed from the Loading Port, Seller or the LNG Ship's master shall give Buyer notice confirming the date and time on which the LNG Ship departed from the Loading Port and the ETA. Seller shall include in such notice a statement of:

　　装货作业完成的日期和时间;the date and time that loading was completed;

　　向LNG船舶装载的LNG量(以立方米计);

　　the volume, expressed in cubic metres, of LNG loaded on to the LNG Ship;

　　预计待卸载的LNG量(如果与预计卸载量不同);以及

　　the estimated quantity of LNG to be unloaded (if different from the Estimated Unloaded Quantity); and

　　可能会影响LNG船舶根据相关交易进行LNG交付的任何操作性缺陷。

　　any operational deficiency of the LNG Ship that may affect its ability to cause LNG to be delivered in accordance with the relevant Transaction.

　　在下述情况下，卖方需促使LNG船船东立即通知买方：

　　Seller shall cause the LNG Ship's master to notify Buyer promptly regarding:

　　预计到达时间的任何变更，导致LNG船舶无法按时到达的;以及

　　any change in the ETA which will prevent the LNG Ship from arriving On Schedule; and

　　LNG船舶的相关操作条件发生的任何改变，与先前通知或约定所不同的。

　　any change of the relevant operational condition of the LNG Ship from that previously notified or agreed.

　　在预计到达时间九十六(96)小时前，卖方需促使LNG船船长向买方发出通知，告知预计到达时间的日期和时间。如果预计到达时间随后变动超过六(6)个小时，卖方需促使LNG船船长立即将纠正后的预计到达时间通知买方。

　　Ninety-six (96) hours prior to the ETA, Seller shall cause the LNG Ship's master to give notice to Buyer stating the date and hour of ETA. If this ETA subsequently changes by more than six (6) hours, Seller shall cause the LNG Ship's master to give notice of the corrected ETA promptly to Buyer.

　　在预计到达时间四十八(48)小时前，卖方需促使LNG船船长向买方发出通知，对最新的预计到达时间通知进行确认和更正。如果预计到达时间随后变动超过六(6)个小时，卖方需促使LNG船船长立即将纠正后的预计到达时间通知买方。

　　Forty-eight (48) hours prior to the ETA, Seller shall cause the LNG Ship's master to give notice to Buyer confirming or amending the last ETA notification. If this ETA subsequently changes by more than six (6) hours, Seller shall cause the LNG Ship's master to give notice of the corrected ETA promptly to Buyer.

　　在预计到达时间二十四(24)小时前，卖方需促使LNG船船长向买方发出通知，对最新的预计到达时间通知进行确认和更正。如果预计到达时间随后变动超过两(2)个小时，卖方需促使LNG船船长立即将纠正后的预计到达时间通知买方。

　　Twenty-four (24) hours prior to the ETA, Seller shall cause the LNG Ship's master to give notice to Buyer confirming or amending the last ETA notice. If this ETA subsequently changes by more than two (2) hours, Seller shall cause the LNG Ship's master to give notice of the corrected ETA promptly to Buyer.

　　在预计到达时间五(5)小时前，卖方需促使LNG船船长向买方发出最后一次预计到达时间通知。

　　Seller shall cause the LNG Ship’s master to give a final ETA notice to Buyer five (5) hours prior to the ETA.

　　根据本条第10条发送给买方的所有通知需发送至买方设施运营方处，因此买方需将正确的联系方式提供给卖方。

　　All notices to be sent to the Buyer in accordance with this Clause 10 shall also be sent to operator of Buyer’s Facilities, provided that Buyer shall have supplied the appropriate contact details to Seller.

　　本条第10条项下的所有通知需采用英语，并通过电子邮件或传真方式发送。

　　All notices pursuant to this Clause 10 shall be sent in English and by electronic mail or facsimile.

　　靠泊BERTHING ASSIGNMENTS

　　当LNG船舶到达领航员登船区(PBS)时，一旦该LNG船受到了所有必要的通关和安全检查，并在各方面做好了卸货、靠泊的准备，卖方需要求LNG船舶船长发出准备就绪通知书。

　　Upon arrival of an LNG Ship at the PBS, once the LNG Ship has received all necessary port and security clearances and is in all respects ready to discharge, berth or no berth, Seller shall procure that the LNG Ship’s master shall tender a NOR.

　　协议双方需采用所有合理努力，避免LNG船舶在卸货港的靠泊过程中与其它LNG船发生冲突。如果该LNG船按时进入卸货港，买方需通过合理努力，确保该LNG船比其它LNG船舶相比具备靠泊优先权。如果该LNG船与其它LNG船舶预期在相似时间到达领航员登船区，且两艘船预计均在按时条件以外，则采用先到先泊的船运行业常规惯例，并以卸货港和/或买方设施的相关规范为准。

　　The Parties shall use all reasonable endeavours to avoid any conflict with other LNG vessels in berthing the LNG Ship at the Unloading Port. If the LNG Ship arrives On Schedule, Buyer shall use reasonable endeavours to procure that the LNG Ship is berthed in priority over other LNG vessels. If the LNG Ship and another LNG vessel are due to arrive at the PBS at a similar time and both the LNG Ship and the other LNG vessel are not expected to be On Schedule, then the normal shipping industry practice of first come, first served shall apply, subject to the rules applicable to the Unloading Port and/or Buyer’s Facilities.

　　如果有多艘LNG船(包括上述LNG船)按时到达卸货港，但由于卸货港遭受不可抗力或恶劣天然条件因素，而正在等待靠泊和/或卸货的，则(从不可抗力或恶劣天气条件不再影响靠泊或卸货之时起)相关LNG船舶(包括上述LNG船)需根据卸货港和/或买方设施的相关规范进行卸货。

　　If a number of LNG vessels (including the LNG Ship), having each arrived On Schedule, are waiting to proceed to berth and/or unload, having been prevented from doing so as a result of Force Majeure or Adverse Weather Conditions affecting the Unloading Port, then (from the time when berthing and unloading is no longer prevented by Force Majeure or such Adverse Weather Conditions) such LNG vessels (including the LNG Ship) shall be unloaded in accordance with the rules applicable to the Unloading Port and/or Buyer’s Facilities.

　　如果该LNG船未在预期到达窗口期结束之前发出准备就绪通知书，但在该窗口期之后发出准备就绪通知书的，买方需保证买方设施运营方通过所有合理努力，在上述准备就绪通知书发出之后，在合理可行范围内尽快进行该LNG船舶的靠泊和卸载。但是，如果进行该LNG船舶的靠泊和卸载会导致其它按时到达或预期按时到达的LNG船舶的靠泊或卸货作业发生延误，或会对买方设施的安全有效运行产生危害，则买方不保证运营方进行该船舶的靠泊和卸载。

　　If the LNG Ship does not tender an NOR by the end of the Scheduled Arrival Window but does thereafter tender an NOR, Buyer shall procure that the operator of Buyer’s Facilities uses all reasonable endeavours to berth and unload the LNG Ship as soon as reasonably practicable after such NOR is tendered; provided that Buyer shall not be obliged to procure that the operator berths and unloads the LNG Ship if doing so would delay the berthing or unloading of other LNG vessels which arrive, or are expected to arrive, On Schedule or would compromise the safe and efficient operation of Buyer’s Facilities.

　　卸货UNLOADING

　　在准备就绪通知书发出，且LNG船舶完成了相关机构的必要手续之后，卖方需负责实施LNG船舶的靠泊作业，并保障靠泊作业的安全高效，买方则需在LNG的靠泊作业中予以协助。协议双方需通过合作开始并完成卸货作业，并尽量保证卸货作业的安全性与高效性。Following issuance of NOR, and after the LNG Ship has cleared the necessary formalities with the relevant authorities, Seller shall cause the LNG Ship to be berthed safely and expeditiously at the berth and Buyer shall co-operate in the LNG Ship being safely and expeditiously berthed. The Parties shall cooperate to commence and complete unloading of the LNG Ship safely and as expeditiously as reasonably possible.

　　除非相关确认通知书中另行规定，买方进行LNG船卸货的的允许时长(以下简称允许卸货时长)应为二十四(24)小时。如果LNG船的卸货工作因以下原因延迟，允许卸货时长应延长一段(或数段)时间：Unless otherwise specified in the relevant Confirmation Notice, the laytime allowed to Buyer for the unloading of the LNG Ship (Allowed Laytime) shall be twenty-four (24) hours. Allowed Laytime shall be extended by a period or periods of time whereby unloading of the LNG ship was delayed, and this delay is attributable to or caused by:

　　卖方、承运方、LNG船舶或其船东或船员的直接作为或不作为;

　　the direct action or omission of Seller, Transporter, the LNG Ship or her master or crew;

　　因LNG的合理审慎作业者要求，LNG船舶遵守卸载港的规定而导致卸货时间超出正常范围;

　　compliance by the LNG Ship with Unloading Port regulations beyond the normal time required by a Reasonable and Prudent Operator of an LNG Ship;

　　恶劣天气条件;或Adverse Weather Conditions; or

　　任何不可抗力事件。any event of Force Majeure.

　　LNG船卸货中使用的卸货时长(以下简称使用卸货时长)从下列时间开始起计：Laytime used in unloading the LNG Ship (Used Laytime) shall begin to count:

　　如果LNG船在预计到达窗口期以内发出准备就绪通知书，以如下较早时间点为准：

　　if the LNG Ship tenders NOR within the Scheduled Arrival Window, at the earlier of:

　　发出准备就绪通知书六(6)小时后;或six (6) hours after NOR; or

　　LNG船舶在泊位中泊牢之时;when the LNG Ship is all fast at berth;

　　如果LNG船在预计到达窗口期之前发出准备就绪通知书，以如下较早时间点为准：

　　if the LNG Ship tenders NOR before the Scheduled Arrival Window, at the earlier of:

　　预期到达窗口期首日的当地时间06：00整;或

　　06:00 hours local time on the first day of the Scheduled Arrival Window; or

　　LNG船舶在泊位中泊牢之时;和when the LNG Ship is all fast at berth; and

　　如果LNG船在预计到达窗口期之后发出准备就绪通知书，LNG船舶在泊位中泊牢之时。if the LNG Ship tenders NOR after the Scheduled Arrival Window, when the LNG Ship is all fast at berth.

　　一旦卸货完成，计时随之结束，并视作完成使用卸货时长的计时。但是，如果由于买方原因或经买方要求，LNG船舶进行了移泊(且该移泊不是由于不可抗力事件所导致)，与移泊相关的任何费用需由买方承担，同时，因LNG船舶移泊而造成卸货作业的时间损失，不应促使延长允许卸货时长。

　　Used Laytime shall be deemed to be completed and time shall cease to count upon Completion of Unloading provided, however, that where the LNG Ship is shifted away from the berth for the Buyer's purpose or at the request of Buyer (and the shift is not as a result of the occurrence of a Force Majeure event), Buyer shall pay for any expense relating to such shifting and any time lost in unloading due to such shifting of the LNG Ship shall not extend Allowed Laytime.

　　在卸货完成以后，卖方需(在对当前的天气情况进行考虑之后)负责实施LNG船舶的离泊作业，并保障离泊作业的安全高效，买方则需在LNG的离泊作业中予以协助。

　　After Completion of Unloading, Seller shall cause the LNG Ship to depart safely and expeditiously (taking into account the then prevailing weather conditions) from the berth and Buyer shall co-operate to ensure the LNG Ship's safe departure from the berth.

　　就特定交易而言，如果使用卸货时长超过允许卸货时长，买方应根据相关确认通知书中规定的每日费率(以下简称每日滞期费)向卖方支付滞期费。滞期费通过超时的小时数(四舍五入至最近的整小时数)乘以按比例的小时费率计算得出。

　　For a given Transaction, Buyer shall pay demurrage to Seller at the daily rate specified in the relevant Confirmation Notice (the Daily Demurrage Rate) in respect of the period by which Used Laytime exceeds Allowed Laytime, pro rated for every hour of such delay, rounded to the nearest full hour.

　　如果允许卸货时长由于第12.2(a)或12.2(b)条中指定的原因而根据第12.2条进行了延长，或由于卖方、承运方或LNG船舶或其船东或船员原因而导致LNG船舶的离泊发生延误，并由此导致其它的LNG船舶无法进行卸货，或卸货延误(如果不发生上述延误，该船的卸货作业可以正常启动)，买方由于上述延误而向受延误的船运方进行赔偿而产生的所有合理、真实、有据可查的费用，卖方需向买方予以补偿。补偿上限不应超过相当于每日滞期费率的每日金额上限。

　　If the Allowed Laytime has been extended in accordance with Clause 12.2 for reasons provided in Clause 12.2(a) or Clause 12.2(b), or if the LNG Ship delays in vacating the berth after the end of the Used Laytime for reasons attributable to Seller, Transporter or the LNG Ship or her master or crew, and as a result another LNG ship (which would have commenced unloading had this delay not occurred) is prevented from or delayed in unloading, then Seller shall reimburse to Buyer all reasonable actual documented costs properly incurred by Buyer in having to compensate the delayed shipper as a result of such delay, up to but not exceeding a maximum daily amount equal to the Daily Demurrage Rate.

　　买方未能接收BUYER'S FAILURE TO TAKE DELIVERY

　　若买方在买方设施处遇到或预期会遇到困难，并因此可能导致：

　　If Buyer encounters or expects to encounter difficulties that may result in:

　　LNG船舶靠泊发生延误和/或船上货品卸货发生延误;和/或

　　a delay in berthing the LNG Ship and/or unloading the LNG on the LNG Ship; and/or

　　买方无法接收相关LNG货品;Buyer not being able to take delivery of such LNG;

　　则买方应立即通知卖方。协议双方应通过合理努力，对预期到达窗口期进行适当修改(把卖方对其它客户的交付义务，以及买方在买方设施的卸货义务考虑在内)，或将LNG的交付地点改在其它LNG接收站，以便买方接收，该接收站需由协议双方共同约定，且不对卖方产生额外费用。

　　at Buyer’s Facilities, then Buyer shall promptly notify Seller. The Parties shall use their reasonable endeavours either to make the appropriate changes to the Scheduled Arrival Window, having regard to Seller's delivery obligations to its other customers and Buyer's unloading obligations at Buyer’s Facilities or to arrange for the LNG to be delivered and taken by Buyer, at no additional cost to Seller, at an alternative LNG receiving facility, as mutually agreed between the Parties.

　　如果由于不可抗力、卖方过失或买方根据第4.3条拒收货品以外的任何其它原因，买方未能在预计到达窗口期结束后的四十八(48)小时内接收(根据交易需交付给买方的)所有或部分LNG，且在上述四十八(48)小时内(或在协议双方约定的更长期限内)，协议双方无法就买方未能接收事宜达成任何补救措施，则卖方需向买方发出通知(以下简称买方交付失败通知)，通知中需注明：

　　If, for any reason other than Force Majeure, the fault of Seller, or where Buyer has rejected a cargo in accordance with Clause 4.3, Buyer fails to take delivery of all or any part of the LNG scheduled for delivery to Buyer under the Transaction within forty-eight (48) hours after the expiry of the Scheduled Arrival Window and the Parties are unable to agree a mechanism to mitigate such failure to take by Buyer within such forty-eight (48) hour period (or such longer period as the Parties may agree), then Seller may issue a notice to Buyer (Buyer Delivery Failure Notice) stating:

　　买方未能接收交易项下的所有或部分上述LNG;以及

　　that Buyer has failed to take all or any part of such LNG under the Transaction; and

　　买方未能接收的，遗留在LNG船上的LNG量(以MMBtu计)(以下简称买方差额量)，为预计卸载量与交付量之间的差值，

　　the quantity of LNG (in MMBtu) remaining on the LNG Ship that Buyer failed to take ( Buyer Deficiency Quantity), being the Estimated Unloaded Quantity less any Quantity Delivered,

　　并根据第13.3条进行处理。and Clause 13.3 shall apply.

　　如果卖方根据第13.2条向买方发出买方交付失败通知：

　　If Seller issues a Buyer Delivery Failure Notice to Buyer in accordance with Clause 13.2, then:

　　卖方无需再向买方交付等同于买方差额量的LNG量;

　　Seller shall cease to be obliged to deliver to Buyer a quantity of LNG equal to the Buyer Deficiency Quantity;

　　卖方负责将LNG船驶离泊位(适用时)并离开买方设施;

　　Seller shall cause the LNG Ship to depart the berth (where applicable) and depart Buyer’s Facilities;

　　对于发出买方交付失败通知之后，卖方可以合理负责LNG船离泊作业的最早时间之后的期间，买方无需根据第12.6条向卖方支付滞期费;

　　Buyer shall not be liable to Seller for demurrage under Clause 12.6 in respect of any period after the earliest time, following the issue of the Buyer Delivery Failure Notice, at which the Seller could reasonably have caused the LNG Ship to depart the berth;

　　买方需根据第16条向卖方支付相当于买方差额量与相关合同价格的乘积的同等金额(以下简称买方未交付量款项);

　　Buyer shall pay Seller, in accordance with Clause 16, an amount equal to the product of the Buyer Deficiency Quantity and the relevant Contract Price (Buyer Failure Payment);

　　卖方需作为合理审慎的作业者(并对卖方在商业和运营方面的限制条件予以考虑)，通过合理努力将买方差额量销售给第三方，以通过上述销售活动将净收益(若有)最大化;以及

　　Seller acting as a Reasonable and Prudent Operator (and taking into account Seller’s commercial and operational constraints) shall use reasonable endeavours to dispose of the Buyer Deficiency Quantity by sale to a Third Party so as to maximise the Net Proceeds (if any) from such sale; and

　　如果卖方将全部或部分买方差额量销售给第三方，卖方应向买方支付相当于a-(b-c)的费用(其中a=卖方通过上述销售活动所得的总收益，b=卖方由于上述LNG量的运输(包括蒸发量)、交付和销售而合理产生的任何合理、且有据可查的费用，c=原本将上述LNG量运输往买方设施，并在买方设施进行卸载而合理产生的费用的部分)(以下简称净收益)。但是，前提是(i)净收益不得超过买方的买方未交付量款项;(ii)卖方计算得出的净收益为最终版本，对协议双方具有约束力，除非存在诈骗或明显错误的情况。

　　if Seller sells all or part of the Buyer Deficiency Quantity to a Third Party, then Seller shall pay Buyer the total proceeds received by Seller from such sale less any reasonable actual documented costs properly incurred by Seller in relation to the transportation (including boil off), delivery and sale of such quantities of LNG in excess of those costs which would have reasonably been incurred in transporting such quantity to, and unloading such quantity at, Buyer’s Facilities (Net Proceeds) provided, however, that (i) the Net Proceeds shall not exceed the Buyer Failure Payment made by Buyer; and (ii) the Net Proceeds as calculated by Seller shall be final and binding upon the Parties, save in the case of fraud or manifest error.

　　针对买方未能接收买方差额量所造成的损失或其它问题，买方进行买方未交付量款项的支付是卖方可以采取的唯一补救措施。由于买方未能接收买方差额量，卖方无需向买方出售或交付任何替代LNG量。

　　Buyer’s payment of the Buyer’s Failure Payment shall be Seller's sole and exclusive remedy in damages or otherwise for Buyer’s failure to take delivery of the Buyer Deficiency Quantity, and Seller shall not be obliged to sell or deliver any replacement quantities of LNG to Buyer on account of Buyer’s failure to take delivery of the Buyer Deficiency Quantity.

　　卖方未能交付SELLER'S FAILURE TO DELIVER

　　若卖方遇到或预期会遇到困难，并因此可能导致：

　　If Seller encounters or expects to encounter difficulties that may result in:

　　LNG货品的装载、运输和/或通过买方设施向买方进行交付发生延误;和/或

　　a delay in loading, transporting and/or delivering the cargo of LNG to Buyer’s Facilities to Buyer; and/or

　　卖方无法将相关LNG货品交付给买方;Seller not being able to deliver to Buyer such LNG;

　　则卖方应立即通知买方。协议双方应通过合理努力，对预期到达窗口期进行适当修改(把卖方对其它客户的交付义务，以及买方在买方设施的卸货义务考虑在内)，或安排从卖方设施以外的其它LNG气源在预期交付窗口期或互相协商修改后的预期交付窗口期内，将等同于预计卸货量的LNG量交付给买方，且不由买方承担额外费用。

　　then Seller shall promptly notify Buyer. The Parties shall use their reasonable endeavours either to make the appropriate changes to the Scheduled Arrival Window, having regard to Seller's delivery obligations to its other customers and Buyer's unloading obligations at Buyer’s Facilities, or to arrange for the delivery to Buyer, at no additional cost to Buyer, of an equivalent quantity of LNG to the Estimated Unloading Quantity within the Scheduled Arrival Window or mutually agreeable revised Scheduled Arrival Window from an LNG source other than Seller's Facilities.

　　如果由于不可抗力或买方过失以外的任何其它原因，导致卖方无法或未能在预期到达窗口期结束后的的四十八(48)小时内向买方按期交付交易项下的所有或部分LNG，且在上述四十八(48)小时内(或在协议双方约定的更长期限内)，协议双方无法就卖方未能交付事宜达成任何补救措施，则买方需向卖方发出通知(以下简称卖方交付失败通知)，通知中需注明：

　　If, for any reason other than Force Majeure or the fault of Buyer, Seller is unable to or fails to deliver all or any part of the LNG scheduled for delivery to Buyer under the Transaction within forty-eight (48) hours after the expiry of the Scheduled Arrival Window, and the Parties are unable to agree a mechanism to mitigate such failure to deliver by Seller within such forty-eight (48) hour period (or such longer period as the Parties may agree), then Buyer may issue a notice to Seller (Seller Delivery Failure Notice) stating:

　　卖方未能交付交易项下的所有或部分上述LNG;以及

　　that Seller has failed to deliver all or any part of such LNG under the Transaction; and

　　卖方未能交付的LNG量(以MMBtu计)(以下简称卖方差额量)，为预计卸载量与交付量之间的差值;

　　the quantity of LNG (in MMBtu) that Seller has failed to deliver (Seller Deficiency Quantity), being the Estimated Unloaded Quantity less any Quantity Delivered;

　　并根据第14.3条进行处理。and Clause 14.3 shall apply.

　　如果买方根据第14.2条向卖方发出卖方交付失败通知：

　　If Buyer issues a Seller Delivery Failure Notice to Seller in accordance with Clause 14.2, then:

　　买方无需再向卖方接收等同于卖方差额量的LNG量;

　　Buyer shall cease to be obliged to take from Seller a quantity of LNG equal to the Seller Deficiency Quantity;

　　卖方负责将LNG船驶离泊位(适用时)并离开买方设施;

　　Seller shall cause the LNG Ship to depart the berth (where applicable) and depart Buyer’s Facilities;

　　由于卖方未进行卖方差额量的交付，而导致买方承担的合理、真实且有据可查的费用(买方需通过合理努力尽量减少上述费用)，卖方需根据第16条向买方支付等同于上述费用金额的款项(以下简称卖方未交付量款项)，上述费用需受以下约束;

　　Seller shall be liable to pay Buyer, in accordance with Clause 16, an amount equal to Buyer’s reasonable actual documented costs, which Buyer shall use reasonable endeavours to mitigate, properly incurred as a result of Seller’s non-delivery of the Seller Deficiency Quantity (Seller Deficiency Payment), such costs being limited to either:

　　(若买方对卖方差额量的转售安排予以终止)由于上述终止行为合理导致的买方成本;或(where Buyer has terminated its resale arrangements in respect of the Seller Deficiency Quantity) Buyer’s costs properly incurred as a result that termination; or

　　(若买方未对卖方差额量的转售安排予以终止)买方采购与卖方差额量相同的替代天然气(无论是作为LNG、LNG再气化所得的天然气或管道天然气)的成本，扣除买方差额量和相关合同价格的乘积的同等值;和

　　(where Buyer has not terminated its resale arrangements in respect of the Seller Deficiency Quantity) Buyer’s cost of purchasing replacement Natural Gas (whether as LNG, Natural Gas from regasified LNG or pipeline Natural Gas) of the same quantity as the Seller Deficiency Quantity, less an amount equal to the product of the Seller Deficiency Quantity and the relevant Contract Price; and

　　买方需作为合理审慎的作业者(并对买方在商业和运营方面的限制条件予以考虑)，通过合理努力将卖方差额款项最小化，前提是(i)卖方差额款项不应超过交易项下LNG价值的百分之十五(15)(上述价值为卖方差额量与合同价的乘积);和(ii)买方计算得出的卖方差额款项需为最终版本，对协议双方具有约束力，除非存在诈骗或明显错误的情况。

　　Buyer acting as a Reasonable and Prudent Operator (and taking into account Buyer’s commercial and operational constraints) shall use reasonable endeavours to minimise the Seller Deficiency Payment provided that (i) the Seller Deficiency Payment shall not exceed fifteen (15) percent of the value of the LNG under the Transaction (such value being the product of the Seller Deficiency Quantity and the Contract Price); and (ii) the Seller Deficiency Payment amount calculated by Buyer shall be final and binding upon the Parties, save in the case of fraud or manifest error.

　　第14.3条中，如果买方为任何替代天然气所支付的金额未基于已出版价格来源，卖方需有权指定一名独立审计员，以验证该相关替代天然气支付的价格基于市场，并以公平交易为基础从LNG或天然气第三方供应商处购买而得。买方需以保密性为基础，向上述审计员提供与上述替代天然气的购买所相关的文件，提供的文件需能帮助审计员完成验证工作。For the purposes of Clause 14.3, if the price paid by Buyer for any replacement Natural Gas is not based on published pricing sources, Seller shall have the right to appoint an independent auditor to verify that the price paid for such replacement Natural Gas is market based and purchased from a Third Party supplier of LNG or Natural Gas under an arms length relationship, and Buyer shall make available to such auditor on a confidential basis such documentation relating to the purchase of such replacement Natural Gas as is appropriate to enable the auditor’s verification.

　　针对卖方未能交付卖方差额量所造成的损失或其它问题，卖方进行卖方差额款项的支付是买方可以采取的唯一补救措施。由于卖方未能交付买方差额量，买方无需向卖方购买或接收任何替代LNG量。

　　Seller’s payment of the Seller Deficiency Payment shall be Buyer's sole and exclusive remedy in damages or otherwise for failure by Seller to deliver the Seller Deficiency Quantity and Buyer shall not be obliged to purchase or take delivery of replacement quantities of LNG from Seller on account of Seller’s failure to deliver the Buyer Deficiency Quantity.

Testing shall be performed using methods that are recommended by the manufacturer or any other method agreed upon by the Parties.

　　测量、计量和测试装置的允许偏差需根据附件A中第2和3条中的规定。如果发现有设备的误差超过了允许偏差范围，需对该设备进行对应的调节，并对相关货品有关的记录值以及据此得出的计算数据进行纠正。在适用时，由于上述误差而导致卖方向买方所开的价格存在过高或过低(若适用)的情况，协议一方需根据第16条就买方应补交或卖方应退还的款项向另一方开具发票(视情况而定)。

　　Permissible tolerances of the measurement, gauging and testing devices shall be as described in Sections 2 and 3 of Schedule A. Where the inaccuracy of a device is found to exceed the permissible tolerances, the device shall be adjusted accordingly and recordings and computations made on the basis of those recordings shall be corrected in relation to the relevant cargo. Where applicable, one Party shall send an invoice to the other in accordance with Clause 16 in order that the undercharge or overcharge as applicable made by Seller to Buyer as a result of any said inaccuracy may be paid by Buyer or refunded by Seller, as the case may be.

　　Unless otherwise provided under the Confirmation Notice, each Final Invoice and Provisional Invoice for a given Transaction shall become due and payable fourteen (14) days after Completion of Unloading; provided, however, if Seller does not deliver the invoice to Buyer at least five (5) days prior to such date, the invoice shall become due and payable seven (7) days following Buyer’s receipt of the invoice. An invoice in relation to an amount payable under this Agreement other than a payment of a Final Invoice or a Provisional Invoice shall become due and payable seven (7) days following receipt of such invoice. In all cases, if an amount falls due for payment on a day that is not a Banking Day, then such amount shall be due on the immediately preceding Banking Day. For the purpose of this Clause 16.5 Banking Day means a day on which the bank of the paying party is open for the transaction of normal banking business.

　　到期款项(包括任何逾期利息的支付，若适用)需以可立即存取的资金通过电汇方式支付到收款方在相关确认通知书中指定的银行账户中。每次支付需对到期全额进行支付，不得以任何理由扣减、扣留或抵偿(包括但不限于外汇手续费、银行转账手续费或其它费用)。Payment of amounts due (including any late interest payment if applicable) shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds into the bank account nominated by the payee Party in the relevant Confirmation Notice. Each payment shall be for the full amount due, without reduction, withholding or set-off for any reason (including any exchange charges, bank transfer charges or other fees).

　　如果协议一方未根据第16.5条在确定的到期日期向另一方进行任何到期金额的支付，未支付方需向另一方支付从到期日的后一日(包括当日)起，到支付完成之日(包括当日)为止期间的利息。利息需以高出款项到期日当天适用的LIBOR百分之三(3%)的费率计算得出。如果当天没有发布LIBOR费率，则采用前一日发布的LIBOR费率。上述利息需以一年三百六十(360)天为基础计算得出，并在到期款项支付之日进行支付。

　　If a Party fails to pay the other Party any amount due by the due date ascertained in accordance with Clause 16.5 , the Party failing to pay shall pay interest thereon to the other Party for the period commencing on and including the next day following the due date up to and including the day when payment is made. Interest shall be calculated at the rate of three per cent (3%) above LIBOR applicable on the day when payment was due. If no LIBOR rate is published on that day, then the LIBOR rate published on the nearest preceding day shall be used. Such interest shall be calculated on the basis of a three hundred and sixty (360) day year and shall be paid on the date when payment of the sum due is made.

　　如果协议一方对任何发票存在异议，该方仍然需对发票指定的总额进行临时付款，并需立即告知另一方发票存在异议的原因。如果是发票存在明显计算错误，发票接收方则可以对错误项予以忽略，并进行正确金额的支付。除第15.11条所述之外，发票信息仅可以由发票接收方在收到发票后的九十(90)天内以书面形式向另一方提出异议，或由发票开具方在开出发票后的九十(90)个工作日内书面通知另一方提出修改，视实际情况而定。如果未发出上述通知，则视作双方认定发票信息正确，认可发票。在发票异议得到解决以后，相关方应向另一方进行多退少补，其中需包括相关多付/少付金额的利息，利息需从费用到期日开始，到支付日为止，以第16.7条中规定的费率计算得出。

　　If a Party disputes any invoice, it shall nevertheless make provisional payment of the total amount specified in the invoice and shall immediately notify the other Party of the reasons for such disagreement, except that in the case of manifest error in computation the Party receiving the invoice shall pay the correct amount after disregarding such error. Save in respect of Clause 15.11, an invoice may only be contested by the Party that received it, or modified by the Party that sent it, by written notice delivered to the other Party within a period of ninety (90) days after such receipt or sending, as the case may be. If no such notice is served, such invoice shall be deemed correct and accepted by both Parties. Promptly after resolution of any dispute as to an invoice, the amount of any over-payment or under-payment shall be paid by the relevant Party to the other Party, together with interest on such over-payment or under-payment, such interest being calculated at the rate provided in Clause 16.7 from the date payment was due to the date of payment.

　　如果买方未就某项交易项下根据本项协议到期应付的款项进行支付，卖方有权向买方发出书面通知，对所欠金额进行确认，并表明卖方是否有意向取消协议双方之间上述交易和/或任何其它交易中需交付的任何和/或所有未来货品。如果在卖方发出上述通知后七(7)天之后，买方仍未对界定为逾期未付的款项进行全额支付，卖方可以取消协议双方之间根据本协议中上述交易或任何或所有其它交易中需交付的任何或所有未来LNG。这项补救措施不应影响卖方在本协议项下的其它权利或补救措施，包括卖方根据第16.7条对利息应有的权利。若卖方选择取消其在本条第16.9条项下的义务，导致交易项下的LNG未交付给卖方，买方需认定为未成功接收上述LNG，并根据第13条进行处理。

　　If Buyer fails to pay an amount that is due and payable under this Agreement with respect to a Transaction, Seller shall be entitled to deliver written notice to Buyer identifying the amounts owing and Seller’s intention to cancel any and/or all future cargoes due to be delivered under such Transaction and/or any other Transactions between the Parties. If after seven (7) days following delivery of such notice Buyer has failed to pay in full the amounts specified as overdue, Seller may cancel any or all future LNG to be delivered pursuant to such Transaction or any or all other Transactions between the Parties pursuant to this Agreement. This remedy shall be without prejudice to Seller’s other rights and remedies under this Agreement, including Seller’s entitlement to interest under Clause 16.7. Where Seller elects to cancel its obligations under this Clause 16.9 resulting in LNG pursuant to a Transaction not being delivered by Seller, Buyer shall be deemed to have failed to have taken delivery of such LNG and Clause 13 shall apply.

　　如果卖方未就某项交易项下根据本项协议到期应付的款项进行支付，买方有权向卖方发出书面通知，对所欠金额进行确认，并表明买方是否有意向取消协议双方之间上述交易和/或任何其它交易中需交付的任何和/或所有未来货品。如果在买方发出上述通知后七(7)天之后，卖方仍未对界定为逾期未付的款项进行全额支付，买方可以取消协议双方之间根据本协议中上述交易或任何或所有其它交易中需交付的任何或所有未来LNG。这项补救措施不应影响买方在本协议项下的其它权利或补救措施，包括买方根据第16.7条对利息应有的权利。若买方选择取消其在本条第16.10条项下的义务，导致交易项下的LNG未交付给买方，卖方需认定为未成功交付上述LNG，并根据第14条进行处理。

　　If Seller fails to pay an amount that is due and payable under this Agreement with respect to a Transaction, Buyer shall be entitled to deliver written notice to Seller identifying the amounts owing and Buyer’s intention to cancel any and/or all future cargoes due to be delivered under such Transaction and/or any other Transactions between the Parties.

This remedy shall be without prejudice to Buyer’s other rights and remedies under this Agreement, including Buyer’s entitlement to interest under Clause 16.7. Where Buyer elects to cancel its obligations under this Clause 16.10 resulting in LNG pursuant to a Transaction not being taken by Buyer, Seller shall be deemed to have failed to have delivered such LNG and Clause 14 shall apply.

Prior to resumption of normal performance, the Parties shall continue to perform their obligations under this Agreement to the extent not prevented by such event of Force Majeure.

　　根据第19条寻求责任免除的协议一方需尽快通知另一方，并需在通知中注明：

　　A Party seeking relief under this Clause 19 shall notify the other Party as soon as reasonably practicable and shall state in such notice:

　　导致不可抗力的行为、事件或情况的细节，需在合理可用范围内包含尽量充分的细节;the particulars of the act, event or circumstance giving rise to the Force Majeure claim, in as much detail as is then reasonably available;

　　实际受到妨碍、阻碍或延误履行的职责，和妨碍、阻碍或延误履行的预计期间，包括(在已知或可确定的范围内)妨碍、阻碍或延误履行的预计范围;和

　　the obligations which have been actually prevented, impeded or delayed in performance and the estimated period during which such performance may be prevented, impeded or delayed, including (to the extent known or ascertainable) the estimated extent of such prevention, impediment or delay in performance; and

　　为确保本协议项下的职责重新得到正常履行，而待执行程序的细节(若有)。

　　the particulars of the program to be implemented, if any, to ensure full resumption of normal performance hereunder.

　　上文所述的通知需进行及时、规律的更新。本条第19条中，履行职责需从不可抗力事件发生之时予以免除，而不以寻求责任免除方发出相关通知之时为准。

　　The notification provided as aforesaid shall be updated on a timely and regular basis. Performance is excused under this Clause 19 from the beginning of the Force Majeure event, not upon notification thereof by the Party seeking relief.

　　若经协议另一方要求，由于不可抗力事件而受到影响的协议方需为数量合适的另一方代表提供机会(如果是第三方设施受到影响，需通过合理努力尽量取得机会)访问受到不可抗力事件影响的设施或场址，前提是对上述场址进行检验的费用和风险需由另一方承担。

　　Upon request of the other Party, the Party affected by the Force Majeure event shall provide access (or in the event a Third Party’s facilities are affected, use all reasonable endeavours to procure access) for a reasonable number of the other Party’s representatives to the facilities or site affected by the Force Majeure event, provided that the other Party shall bear the expense and risk of examining facilities or such site.

　　如果对受影响方履行本协议项下的自身职责产生妨碍、阻碍或延误的不可抗力事件经预测的持续(或实际持续)时间将长达七(7)个连续天，另一方有权在向受影响方发出书面通知的情况下对受到不可抗力事件影响的LNG予以取消交付或接收(视情况而定)，且受影响方无需承担任何责任。

　　If the Force Majeure event is forecast to last (or actually lasts) for a period such that the Party affected shall be prevented, delayed or interfered in performing its obligations hereunder for a period of seven (7) consecutive days or more, the other Party shall have the right to cancel the delivery or receipt, as the case may be, of the LNG affected by the Force Majeure event without incurring any liability to the Party affected by giving written notice to that Party.
