a)
Management and administrative services agreement - On March 30, 2011, Golar Partners entered into a management and administrative services agreement with Golar Management Limited ("Golar Management"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Golar, pursuant to which Golar Management will provide to Golar Partners certain management and administrative services. The services provided by Golar Management are charged at cost plus a management fee equal to 5% of Golar Management’s costs and expenses incurred in connection with providing these services. Golar Partners may terminate the agreement by providing 120 days written notice.

b)
Ship management fees - Golar and certain of its affiliates charge ship management fees to Golar Partners for the provision of technical and commercial management of Golar Partners' vessels. Each of Golar Partners’ vessels is subject to management agreements pursuant to which certain commercial and technical management services are provided by Golar Management. Golar Partners may terminate these agreements by providing 30 days written notice.

c)
Interest expense on deposits payable

Deferred purchase price - In May 2017, the Golar Tundra had not commenced her charter and, accordingly, Golar Partners elected to exercise the Tundra Put Right to require us to repurchase Tundra Corp at a price equal to the original purchase price. In connection with Golar Partners exercising the Tundra Put Right, we and Golar Partners entered into an agreement pursuant to which we agreed to purchase Tundra Corp from Golar Partners on the date of the closing of the Tundra Put Sale in return we were required to pay an amount equal to $107.2 million (the "Deferred Purchase Price") plus an additional amount equal to 5% per annum of the Deferred Purchase Price (the "Additional Amount"). The Deferred Purchase Price and the Additional Amount was applied to the net sale price of the Hilli Disposal (defined below) on July 12, 2018.

Deposit received from Golar Partners - On August 15, 2017, we entered into the Hilli Sale Agreement with Golar Partners for the Hilli, or the Hilli Disposal, from the Sellers of the Hilli Common Units in Hilli LLC. On the Closing Date of the Hilli Disposal, Hilli LLC will be the disponent owner of the Hilli. The Disposal Interests represent the equivalent of 50% of the two liquefaction trains, out of a total of four, that are contracted to Perenco and SNH under an eight-year LTA. Concurrent with the execution of the Hilli Sale Agreement, we received a further $70 million deposit from Golar Partners, upon which we pay interest at a rate of 5% per annum. We applied the deposit received and interest accrued to the purchase price on July 12, 2018, upon completion of the Hilli Disposal.

We have accounted for $nil and $2.7 million, and $nil and $1.8 million from the above arrangements as interest expense on the Deferred Purchase Price and the $70 million deposit for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

d)
Trading balances - Receivables and payables with Golar Partners and its subsidiaries are comprised primarily of unpaid management fees, interest expense and expenses for management, advisory and administrative services and may include working capital adjustments with respect to disposals to the Partnership, as well as charterhire expenses. In addition, certain receivables and payables arise when we pay an invoice on behalf of a related party and vice versa. Receivables and payables are generally settled quarterly in arrears. Trading balances owing to or due from Golar Partners and its subsidiaries are unsecured, interest-free and intended to be settled in the ordinary course of business. They primarily relate to recharges for trading expenses paid on behalf of Golar Partners, including ship management and administrative service fees due to us.

e)
Methane Princess Lease security deposit movements - This represents net advances from Golar Partners since its IPO, which correspond with the net release of funds from the security deposits held relating to the Methane Princess Lease. This is in connection with the Methane Princess tax lease indemnity provided to Golar Partners under the Omnibus Agreement. Accordingly, these amounts will be settled as part of the eventual termination of the Methane Princess Lease.
