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. Where external service providers costs are incurred by us on behalf of Golar Partners, these are recharged at cost. 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.

Under the predecessor Omnibus Agreement, we provided a $11.4 million tax indemnification guarantee to Golar Partners in connection with the Methane Princess finance lease which was voluntarily terminated contemporaneously with closing of the GMLP Merger (note 20) where we paid $8.6 million and $0.8 million to the lessor and Golar Partners respectively, and released the remaining liability (note 9).
