(9) Upon award of this contract, the Contractor shall immediately notify all contractor personnel, who are or who will be employed by, or who are or who will be accompanying, United States Naval Forces outside the continental United States (OCONUS), and who are not a host country national ordinarily resident in the host country, that such personnel, and any dependents residing with such personnel, who engage in conduct OCONUS that would constitute an offense punishable by imprisonment for more than one year if the conduct had been engaged in within the special maritime and territorial jurisdiction of the United States, may potentially be subject to the criminal jurisdiction of the United States as required by the Military Extraterritorial Jurisdiction Act of 2000, Pub. L. 106-523, 114 Stat. 2488, codified at 18 U.S.C. 3261 – 3267, as implemented by DoD Instruction 5525.11, “Criminal Jurisdiction over Civilians Employed by or accompanying the Armed Forces outside the United States.” ADD: IN-TRANSIT VISIBILITY. (1) The Military Sealift Command has implemented a fully automated satellite tracking system (ASTARS) for the purpose of providing In-Transit Visibility (ITV) of its vessels. To support this system MSC utilizes position data provided by a ship's INMARSAT-C Terminal (the terminal must have a GPS input). This is a critical requirement and is therefore mandatory. (2) In order to initiate reporting and start receiving the required data from a ship, MSC needs to know the make and model of the INMARSAT C terminal, its registered identification number, and the specific satellite (POR, AORE, AORW, or IOR) it is currently logged on to. Once this information is received MSC technicians will remotely communicate with the terminal to activate reporting. When no longer required, MSC technicians will stop the terminal from reporting. MSC technicians may require some assistance from ship's personnel should problems occur. The ship's terminal will accrue a nominal cost associated with the sending of small data packets, said cost to be included in the offered rate. ADD: SECURITY THREAT. In the event of a security threat or incident involving the ship, crew or cargo during the voyage, the ship's master should report any incident immediately to the MSC Area Command in whose area the ship is currently located. The MSCHQ Command Center should be contacted if the Area Command cannot be reached. Contact numbers will be provided upon award. ADD: SALVAGE. (1) When engaged in the carriage of government cargo and if requested by Charterer, Owner agrees to accept Navy salvage services. Such services may be provided using Navy personnel and resources or Navy contracted resources. (2) In providing such services, the Navy, through Charterer, agrees to waive all claims for “pure” or “bonus” salvage. Instead, Charterer shall be entitled to the following: a. In those cases in which the salvage services are provided by Navy personnel and resources, the salvage claim shall be limited to a schedule of current per diem rates and allowable expenses as established by the Navy’s Supervisor of Salvage. In no event shall such amount exceed a maximum claim of $25,000 per day. b. In those situations in which the Navy utilizes contracted resources to deliver assistance, Owner shall be liable for the actual daily rate charged to the Navy by the contractor(s). (3) It is understood that this limited Supervisor of Salvage claim is asserted against the vessel only, is solely for the vessel's account, and does not include any amounts for the salvage of the Government's cargo. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this contract, this limited Supervisor of Salvage claim IS NOT directly or by way of setoff chargeable in whole or in part to the Government by way of general average or otherwise. ADD: DEMURRAGE/DETENTION DOCUMENTATION. In the event of demurrage/detention, all supporting documents as identified in the invoicing clause shall be submitted to the Contracting Officer for approval prior to submission of demurrage/detention invoices. After receiving the Contracting Officer's concurrence, Owner may submit demurrage/detention invoices to the office identified in Box 18b of SF 1449. MODIFY: II – Incorporate revised clause 52.212-4 (Feb 2007). Tailored language still applies. MODIFY: II (k) – Add to the end of the first sentence “and for their account.” Delete the second sentence. MODIFY: III(b)(1) – revise to read, “In the event Charterer furnishes and Owner loads cargo in excess of the maximum cargo quantity identified in Box 2, an overage rate shall be developed by dividing the lump sum rate in Box 19 by the cargo amount (e.g. TEU’S, FEU’S, Sq Ft; in the case of mixed cargo, 1 TEU shall equate to 160 Sq Ft, 1 FEU shall equate to 320 Sq Ft, and vehicles will be measured in square feet based on vehicle dimensions) specified in Box 2 (excluding allowable variations). One third the resultant per unit rate shall be payable on such excess quantity.” MODIFY: III(j) and (k) - change “SSHEX” to “SSHINC.” MODIFY: III(n)(1) – first sentence, delete the words “customary full form.” MODIFY: III(n)(2) – Add the following sentence at the beginning of the subparagraph: “Trading limits of the vessel shall be worldwide.” MODIFY: Part III(n) – add new subparagraph: “(5) Charterer Named Assured.

MODIFY: IV(i)(1) – add the following sentence at the end of the subparagraph: “No other additional costs shall be reimbursable except as is expressly provided for in this charter.” MODIFY: IV(i)(3) – change the second and third sentences to read: “Provided, however, that no proportion of additional premia allocable to insuring an amount in excess of the coverage in place as of the Charter Party date shall be reimbursable by Charterer in respect of any of the foregoing war risk policies. Provided further that Owner shall apply for and remit to Charterer as savings any rebates by reason of reductions in or rebates of premiums charged for entry into war risk exclusion zones.” MODIFY: IV(i) – add new subparagraph: “(5) Owner must immediately notify Charterer of any changes in the Vessel’s commercial war risk insurance, including but not limited to, extensions of war risk exclusion zones and increases in commercial war risk insurance premiums.

The parties expressly agree that the offered and accepted daily rate includes all costs incurred or paid by the Contractor, including but not limited to material handling charges, overhead, general and administrative costs, or profit, that are in any way associated with the Contractor’s purchase or provision of such supplies and services. (2) To be eligible to receive reimbursement for services and supplies identified in this contract as reimbursable items and obtained in support of this contract, the Contractor must obtain at least three quotes for each transaction in excess of $2,500 to ensure that adequate price competition was sought or the Contractor must provide an acceptable justification as to why it was impracticable to do so.

Disputes as to the amount by which any reimbursement is reduced shall be resolved in accordance with the “Disputes” clause of the contract. It shall be the Contractor’s burden to demonstrate that the price it paid for reimbursable supplies and services was fair and reasonable.

The notice shall state the estimated amount of additional funds required to continue performance for the period specified in the Schedule. The Contractor shall not exceed or incur costs that exceed the amount of funding stated on each Reimbursable Supplies and Services CLIN at the time a reimbursable item is ordered. (5) The Government is not obligated to reimburse the Contractor for otherwise reimbursable supplies and services in excess of the funded amount stated in the Schedule under each Reimbursable CLIN. (6) The Contractor is not obligated to continue performance of any reimbursable work under this Contract or otherwise incur costs for reimbursable supplies or services in excess of the funded amount stated in the Schedule under each Reimbursable CLIN unless the Contracting Officer notifies the Contractor that the funded amount stated in the Schedule under the applicable Reimbursables CLIN has been increased. Notification shall be in writing. In the event notification is made orally, such notification shall be followed up in writing within two working days. (7) No notice, communication, or representation from any person other than the Contracting Officer shall affect the Government’s obligation to reimburse the Contractor. (8) Change orders shall not be considered an authorization to exceed the funded amount stated in the Schedule under the Reimbursable CLIN unless they contain a statement expressly increasing the funded amount of the Reimbursables CLIN by a sufficient amount to cover the change order.
