The key terms of such insurance are as set out in the insurance certificate. Full policy terms are available on request by the Assured. 4.2.4 The parties agree that the Carrier (or its parent, subsidiary, sister company or agent) making the Insurance Arrangements is not the Assured s agent for the purposes of the Insurance Arrangements and/or any insurance provided by Underwriters. 4.2.5 The Carrier (or its parent, subsidiary, sister company or agent) making Insurance Arrangements for any Assured does so without any obligation or duty to undertake any enquiry into the Assured s needs (including, without limitation, the adequacy of the sum insured or the limits of cover). Furthermore, the Carrier (or its parent, subsidiary, sister company or agent) making Insurance Arrangements makes no representations or warranty as to the suitability or sufficiency of any such insurance for the Assured or whether the insurance is on best available terms from the perspective of the Assured. If the Assured requires advice on the suitability or sufficiency of the insurance, or whether it is on best available terms, the Assured should seek that advice from an independent insurance broker. 4.2.6 The Carrier (or its parent, subsidiary, sister company or agent) making Insurance Arrangements for any Assured (a) makes no representations about the regulatory authorisation, credit rating, solvency, or appropriateness in any other respect of the Underwriters who provide insurance to the Assured and (b) has no duty to make enquiries into the same. 4.2.7 The parties agree the Carrier (or its parent, subsidiary, sister company or agent) making the Insurance Arrangements will have no liability to the Assured (or the Assured s successors, assigns beneficiaries, transferees, representatives or agents) in the event that the Underwriters do not indemnify the Assured under any policy of insurance made available by means of the Insurance Arrangements. 4.2.8 The Carrier (or its parent, subsidiary, sister company or agent) making the Insurance Arrangements is entitled to deduct commission from any premiums paid by the Assured as agreed with Underwriters from time to time. 4.2.9 The Assured s obligations: 4.2.9.1 the Assured has a duty to make a fair presentation of the risk for consideration by the Underwriters and to (a) disclose every material circumstance it knows or ought to know or (b) provide disclosure which gives Underwriters sufficient information to put a prudent insurer on notice that it needs to make further enquiries for the purpose of revealing those material circumstances. That disclosure must be made in a manner which would be reasonably clear and accessible to a prudent insurer. What the Assured ought to know is what should reasonably have been revealed by a reasonable search of information available to the Assured. Failure to comply with this duty may affect the validity of the insurance Underwriters provide and/or mean the Underwriters do not have to pay all or part of the Assured s claim. 4.2.9.2 The duty set out at paragraph 4.2.9.1 requires the Assured to disclose, inter alia, accurate and complete information about the Goods and any associated risks. For example, the Page 5 of 24

Assured must provide details of the correct insured value and any specific or unusual risks such as where commodities must be temperature controlled. All disclosure (as set out at out at paragraph 4.2.9.1) should be made to the Carrier (or its parent, subsidiary, sister company or agent) making the Insurance Arrangements before the insurance is placed. 4.2.9.3 The Assured must inform the Underwriters immediately about any new facts or changes which may affect the risk where these arise or occur after the insurance incepts. 4.2.9.4 In the event of loss or damage to the Goods or other insured peril the Assured must comply with the claims procedure set out in the Insurance Certificate. Notification to the Carrier (or its parent, subsidiary, sister company or agent) which made the Insurance Arrangements will not comply with that claims procedure. The parties agree that the Carrier (or its parent, subsidiary, sister company or agent) making the Insurance Arrangements has no duty to pass on such notifications to Underwriters. 4.2.10 Any insurance provided by Underwriters may impose limits of liability. In some cases, the insurance may apply a deductible to any indemnity, which the Assured will be obliged to pay. 4.2.11 Any insurance provided by Underwriters may contain exclusions including, without limitation, in relation to the following: 4.2.11.1 rejection, confiscation, sequestration, requisition and block running; 4.2.11.2 smuggling, arrest or seizure; 4.2.11.3 wilful misconduct or gross negligence of the Assured; 4.2.11.4 inherent vice of the Goods, wear and tear, ageing, gradual deterioration; 4.2.11.5 delay in forwarding or arrival of the Goods unless resulting from sinking, capsizing or standing or grounding of the vessel or craft, fire or explosion, collision or contact of the vessel or craft with a fixed movable or floating object including ice, falling aircraft, entry of water causing the vessel or craft to enter a port of refuge and the discharge of all or part of its cargo; 4.2.11.6 damage due to operation of transformation, modification, test, use, assembly or disassembly; 4.2.11.7 simple or unexplained disappearance; 4.2.11.8 leakage of liquids; 4.2.11.9 scratches, flaking, burns; 4.2.11.10 electrical phenomena suffered by electric or electronic apparatus; or 4.2.11.11 Fire or explosion occurring inside electric or electronic apparatus. 4.2.12 Any insurance provided by Underwriters may be deemed not to provide any cover or benefit, or liability to pay any indemnity if this might expose Underwriters to any sanction, prohibition or restriction resulting Page 6 of 24

from a resolution of the United Nations and/or economic or trade sanctions imposed by national law or by regulations. 4.2.13 Any insurance provided by Underwriters may impose geographical restrictions upon cover. 4.2.14 The Assured should direct all communications regarding insurance provided by Underwriters to Underwriters. 5 WARRANTY 5.1 The Merchant warrants that in agreeing to these Conditions he is, or has the authority of, the Person owning or entitled to the possession of the Goods, and this Bill of Lading. 6 SUB-CONTRACTING AND INDEMNITY 6.1 The Carrier shall be entitled to Sub-contract the Carriage and / or the Services on any terms whatsoever. 6.2 The Merchant undertakes that no claim or allegation shall be made against any Person who performs or undertakes the Carriage or Services (including all Sub-Contractors of the Carrier), other than by the Carrier, which imposes or attempts to impose upon any such Person, or any vessel owned by any such Person, any liability whatsoever in connection with the Goods, the Carriage of the Goods or the provision of the Services, whether or not arising out of negligence on the part of such Person. 6.3 In the event that any such claim or allegation should nevertheless be made, the Merchant will indemnify the Carrier against all consequences thereof. 6.4 Without prejudice to the foregoing every such Person or vessel shall have the benefit of every right, defence, limitation and liberty of whatsoever nature herein contained or otherwise available to the Carrier as if such provisions were expressly for his benefit; and in entering into this contract, the Carrier, to the extent of these provisions, does so not only on his own behalf but also as agent and trustee for such Persons or vessel. 6.5 The provisions of Clause 6.2 to 6.4, including but not limited to the undertakings of the Merchant contained therein, shall extend to claims or allegations of whatsoever nature against other Persons chartering space on the carrying vessel. 6.6 The Merchant further undertakes that no claim or allegation in respect of the Goods shall be made against the Carrier by any Person other than in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Bill of Lading which imposes or attempts to impose upon the Carrier any liability whatsoever in connection with the Goods or the Carriage of the Goods, whether or not arising out of negligence on the part of the Carrier.

20 MATTERS AFFECTING PERFORMANCE 20.1 If at any time the Carriage, the vessel or other Goods on board the vessel are or are likely to be affected by any hindrance, risk, delay, difficulty or disadvantage of any kind (other than the inability of the Goods, due to their condition, safely or properly to be carried or carried further) and howsoever arising (even though the circumstances giving rise to such hindrance, risk, delay, difficulty or disadvantage existed at the time this contract was entered into or the Goods were received for Carriage), the Carrier (whether or not the Carriage is commenced) may, without prior notice to the Merchant and at the sole discretion of the Carrier, either: 20.1.1 Carry the Goods to the contracted Port of Discharge or Place of Delivery, whichever is applicable, by an alternative route to that indicated in this Bill of Lading or that which is usual for goods consigned to that Port of Discharge or Place of Delivery. If the Carrier elects to invoke the terms of this Clause then, notwithstanding the provisions of Clause 19 hereof, he shall be entitled to charge such additional Freight as the Carrier may determine; or 20.1.2 Suspend the Carriage of the Goods and store them ashore or afloat upon the terms of this Bill of Lading and endeavour to forward them as soon as possible, but the Carrier makes no representations as to the maximum period of such suspension of Carriage.

If any such Goods are delivered to the Carrier without such written consent and / or marking, or if in the opinion of the Carrier the Goods are or are liable to become of a dangerous, inflammable, damaging or injurious nature, they may at any time be destroyed, disposed of, abandoned or rendered harmless without compensation to the Merchant and without prejudice to the Carrier s right to Freight. 21.2 The Merchant undertakes that such Goods are packed in a manner adequate to withstand the risks of Carriage having regard to their nature and in compliance with all laws or regulations which may be applicable during the Carriage. In particular, but without prejudice to the generality of this Clause, if the Goods are not packed into the Container by or on behalf of the Carrier, the Merchant undertakes that incompatible Goods are not packed in the same Container.
