(d) Upon termination of this Agreement for any reason or expiry of this Agreement or upon the Manager otherwise ceasing to manage a Vessel under this Agreement, with respect to the Stores and Equipment provided by the relevant Company Group Member or the Manager, as applicable, the following shall occur:

(i) in the case of any Vessel where the necessary Stores and Equipment were provided by the Manager, at the time of delivery of such Vessel to the relevant Company Group Member, the Company or such Company Group Member shall reimburse the Manager for the fair market value (as of the time of such termination, expiry or cessation) of the Stores and Equipment that had been placed on board the Vessel by the Manager, taking into account reasonable wear and tear (such value to be proposed by the Manager and subject to approval by the Company), except that if such Vessel is to be scrapped immediately following such termination, expiry or cessation, the Manager shall use commercially reasonable efforts to sell, re-use or recycle the Stores and Equipment and any compensation received by the Manager in doing so shall be deducted from the amounts to be reimbursed by the Company or such Company Group Member to the Manager; and

(ii) in the case of any Vessel where the necessary Stores and Equipment were provided by the relevant Company Group Member, at the time of delivery of such Vessel to such Company Group Member, the Manager shall either, at the Company’s option, (A) return the Vessel with materially the same level and complement of Stores and Equipment as required to continue operating the Vessel in accordance with customary ship operation and practice that a prudent owner of a Vessel such as the Vessel would deem reasonably necessary, taking into account reasonable wear and tear, or (B) pay to the Company or such Company Group Member an amount representing the amount of Stores and Equipment needed to be added to existing levels to satisfy the levels described in subclause (A) above (such amount to be proposed by the Manager and subject to approval by the Company); provided, however, that if such Vessel is to be scrapped immediately following such termination, expiry or cessation, the Manager shall be required to make the payment contemplated in subclause (B) above.

Until any of the foregoing events arise, neither any Company Group Member nor the Manager shall have any obligation to each other to account for any diminution in value of the Stores and Equipment.

(e) Upon termination or expiry of this Agreement, this Agreement will be void and there shall be no liability on the part of any Party (or their respective officers, directors, employees or Affiliates) except that the obligation of the Company to pay to the Manager or its Affiliates the amounts accrued but outstanding under Section 8 and the terms and conditions set forth in Sections 9, 10.6 and 12.4 shall survive such termination. After a written notice of termination has been given under this Section 10 or upon expiry, the Company may direct the Manager to, at the cost of the Company (subject to Section 10.5(d)), undertake any actions reasonably necessary to transfer any aspect of the ownership or control of the assets of the Company to the Company or to any nominee of the Company and to do all other things reasonably necessary to bring the appointment of the Manager to an end at the appropriate time, and the Manager shall promptly comply with all such reasonable directions. Upon termination or expiry of this Agreement, the Manager shall promptly deliver to any new manager or the Company any Books and Records held by the Manager under this Agreement and shall execute and deliver such instruments and do such things as may reasonably be required to permit the new manager of the Company to assume its responsibilities.
