销售税和使用税。买方购买该船舶应缴纳的销售税或使用税（如适用）由买方负责，买方应于成交时向卖方经纪人支付应缴税款。买方特此就其负责的任何销售税或使用税，对卖方及经纪人作出赔偿并使其免受损害。\n\n10. 陈述与保证。卖方和经纪人相信，其任何一方就该船舶提供的任何信息均属真实且正确，并系善意提供该等信息，但不保证且无法保证该等信息的准确性。买方保证并陈述，截至成交时：(a) 已对该船舶进行全面检查并进行了试航（或已自愿放弃该等权利）；且(b) 未依赖卖方或经纪人提供的任何广告、承诺、说明、确认或陈述（无论口头或书面，且无论在本PSA之前或与本PSA同时作出）。成交时，买方应被视为已按该船舶“现状”接受该船舶。卖方和经纪人未作出任何明示或默示保证，亦未就该船舶的状况、其对任何特定用途的适用性或适销性作出任何陈述；上述一切均予否认。\n\n11. 融资。买方的义务不以买方获得融资为条件。买方陈述，如有必要，其将安排融资。买方和卖方确认，经纪人未就买方获得融资的能力、买方获得该船舶任何类型抵押贷款的资格，或买方在任何司法管辖区为该船舶办理入籍或登记的能力，作出任何陈述或保证。\n\n12. 副本。双方可签署任意数量的相同副本，每份副本均应视为正本（包括通过传真、电子邮件或其他电子方式证明的签名），如同签名均载于同一文书。\n\n13. 约束效力；同时合同；未来销售。本PSA对所有当事人、其继承人、遗产代理人和/或受让人具有约束力。在本PSA有效期间，卖方不得出售该船舶或就出售该船舶订立任何合同。如未依照本PSA条款完成销售，且买方与卖方在本PSA终止后两年内，无论直接或通过由任一方拥有或控制的实体，相互订立合同，卖方同意向经纪人支付与经纪人如本PSA所设想的交易已成交本应获得的佣金相同的金额。\n\n14. 托管资金。双方确认：(a) 在资金已结清并存入卖方经纪人账户之前，卖方经纪人不对该等资金负责；(b) 资金结清后，卖方经纪人应以托管方式持有保证金，任何经纪人从任何一方收到的其他资金均应为该方以信托方式持有；(c) 卖方经纪人可在向卖方支付保证金或尾款前向经纪人支付款项；及(d) 对于任何涉及经纪人持有资金的争议，买方和卖方应就与该争议以任何方式有关的法律费用和成本向经纪人作出赔偿，包括任何上诉中发生的费用和成本（该义务以托管资金上的留置权作为担保），以及与佣金请求有关的费用和成本；但经不可上诉的终局判决认定经纪人故意不当行为或存在重大过失的情况除外。\n\n15. 附加条款。见附件。\n\n16. 其他事项。本PSA，包括其附件和附表，构成双方就本协议标的达成的完整协议，并取代此前及同时就此作出的一切谈判、协议、陈述、保证和谅解，无论其为书面、口头或其他形式。如任何经纪人成为涉及本PSA的任何诉讼的一方，经纪人的成本和律师费，包括所有审前、审判及上诉阶段的费用，应由被认定违反本PSA的一方或多方偿还。如本协议双方之间发生因本PSA产生的任何争议，胜诉方（包括经纪人）有权在所有审前、审判及上诉程序中追偿合理费用和律师费。如本PSA的任何条款、条件或规定因任何理由被认定为不可执行，则应在可能范围内作出解释以实现本PSA双方的意图，而非予以废止。在任何情况下，本PSA的所有其他条款和条件均应视为有效且可执行。除本协议明确规定外，不存在其他职责、义务、责任或保证。本PSA不得修改或变更，除非以书面形式作出并由买方和卖方签署。由代表任何一方的律师或经纪人发出或向其送达的通知和交付，与由该方发出或向该方送达具有同等效力。所有通知均须通过亲自送达、隔夜快递、传真、电子邮件或其他电子方式作出，并于声称送达时生效。买方可将本PSA转让给\n\n买方首字母签名：\n\n©2020 International Yacht Brokers Association（国际游艇经纪人协会）。保留所有权利。\n\n卖方首字母签名：\n\n修订版3.10.20\n经纪船舶购买与销售协议附件，于2023年[-----]日签署，由(i) Luc A. Despins（卢克·A·德斯平斯）作为Ho Wan Kwok（郭文贵）遗产的第11章受托人，与(ii) [--------------]签订（以下简称“本附件”）\n\n本附件中使用但未定义的首字母大写术语，具有2023年[-------]日就Lady签署的《经纪船舶购买与销售协议》中所载的含义。为免生疑问，对PSA的任何提述（无论在本PSA或本附件中）均指经本附件修订后的PSA。\n\n1. Luc A. Despins（卢克·A·德斯平斯）仅以Ho Wan Kwok（郭文贵）遗产的第11章受托人身份，而非以其个人身份，作为PSA的一方。因此，买方不得以任何方式对Luc A. Despins先生以其个人身份或Paul Hastings LLP（保尔·黑斯廷斯律师事务所）提出任何请求。\n\n2. PSA及PSA中的所有条款均须经United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Connecticut（美国康涅狄格联邦地区破产法院）（“破产法院”）批准；Ho Wan Kwok的第11章案件，即Case No. 22-50073（“第11章案件”），正在该法院审理中。\n\n3. 尽管PSA中有任何相反规定，破产法院对与PSA有关或因PSA而产生的任何请求或争议享有专属管辖权；双方当事人及经纪人不可撤销地服从破产法院的专属管辖权，放弃其目前或日后可能就审判地或法院便利性提出的任何异议，同意所有与PSA有关的请求均由该法院裁决，并进一步同意不在任何其他法院提出任何与PSA有关的请求。为免疑义，现删除PSA第17节中关于对涉及PSA的任何争议进行仲裁的全部规定。\n\n4. 尽管PSA中有任何相反规定，PSA应受State of New York（纽约州）法律管辖并依其解释，而不考虑其法律冲突原则。\n\n5. PSA第1节第四句和第五句现修改如下：\n\n“船舶”还包括截至本PSA日期船上所有的，和/或载于该船舶挂牌规格中的所有器具、机械、设备、家具、燃料、消耗品，以及所有已登记或未登记的附属艇、玩具、物品和附属物。不存在排除清单。协议，但卖方或挂牌经纪人于以下较早日期提供的排除清单中所列项目除外：(a) 生效日期起五日，或(b) 接受/拒绝日期；该等项目不包括在本次出售中。如买方接受该船舶，即视为其已接受排除清单。为免疑义，根据本PSA，Lady May II不包括在该船舶的出售范围内。\n\n6. PSA第1节第八句现修改如下：\n\n如根据本PSA出售该船舶涉及以旧换新折让，则该以旧换新的条件应受随附的Trade In Vessel-Addendum（以旧换新船舶附录）管辖。\n\n7. PSA第2节现修改如下：\n\n在卖方签署本PSA后-------个营业日内（如留空，则为3个营业日），于[ ---- ]，2023年，买方已将/应将定金支付至卖方销售经纪人的账户，如下文确认，作为购买价款的定金，并应依本PSA条款予以托管。在定金结清并存入卖方销售经纪人的托管账户前，卖方可拒绝允许买方进行该船舶的试航、检验及其他检查。\n\n8. PSA第3节现修改如下：\n\n买方购买该船舶的义务以买方对该船舶试航和检验的满意程度为条件，并由买方自行决定；但买方可选择不对该船舶进行检查，但前提是，买方仅可在验船师（应为日常业务为检验与该船舶质量和价值相近船舶的适格海事验船师）书面证明其发现影响该船舶或其机械或系统运行完整性的缺陷，或使该船舶不适航时，方可拒绝该船舶。为免疑义，买方不得基于任何其他理由拒绝该船舶。如买方决定对该船舶进行检验：(a) 买方将选择验船师；(b) 验船师而非经纪人，将对有关检验的任何错误或遗漏承担唯一责任，即使经纪人可能已向买方提供信息并协助买方聘请验船师；(c) 卖方应提供该船舶，且买方应在切实可行的情况下尽快完成试航和检验，以使检验于接受/拒绝日期前完成；(d) 卖方应支付试航的所有运行费用并承担与试航有关的风险，买方应支付检验的所有费用，包括相关费用，例如吊船、干船坞和分包商费用；(e) 买方及其验船师应独自负责确定检验和试航的范围，以评估该船舶是否符合买方的要求；以及(f) 买方应于接受/拒绝日期当日或之前，向卖方或挂牌经纪人递交书面拒绝或接受该船舶的通知。无论买方是否已检查该船舶，如其未能依本PSA及时发出书面拒绝/接受通知，即视为其已接受该船舶。买方接受该船舶后，卖方在交割（定义见\n\nCase 22-50073 Doc 1930-18 Filed 06/22/23 Entered 06/22/23 18:40:24 Page 10 of 14\n\n第4款）之前不得使用该船舶，但为将该船舶移至交付地点而使用的除外。如买方依本PSA拒绝或被视为拒绝该船舶，且未以其他方式违反本PSA，则在代表买方发生的全部费用付清后，(i) 卖方销售经纪人应向买方返还定金；(ii) 本PSA将终止；以及(iii) 双方当事人及经纪人将免除其项下任何进一步责任。经纪人不负责承担修复试航和检验期间发现的任何缺陷或不足之费用。\n\n9. PSA第4节第六句现修改如下：\n\n交割时，买方应向卖方支付余额（受第6款约束），定金应在扣除紧接下一句所述款项和/或通过电汇向卖方销售经纪人支付以转交卖方后，予以释放。卖方应付给(i) 经纪人的佣金、仓储、保险、修理和/或其他项目的任何款项（须经破产法院批准），或(ii) 任何其他权利负担持有人的任何款项，均应由销售经纪人在向卖方支付款项前，从应付卖方的金额中扣除；卖方特此不可撤销地指示任何定金持有人依本协议条款从定金中向经纪人支付佣金，并在向卖方释放定金前支付给经纪人。为免疑义，破产法院批准向买方出售该船舶的命令应规定，该船舶在出售时不存在任何权利负担，任何权利负担应附着于出售所得款项。\n\n10. PSA第5节第二句现修改如下：\n\n如挂牌经纪人与销售经纪人为同一家经纪公司，双方当事人同意该经纪人在本交易中担任双重代理人，即同时代表买方和卖方；经纪人可向双方披露其知悉的、对该船舶价值或可取性有重大影响的事实；但在该情况下，(a) 未经卖方同意，经纪人不得向买方披露卖方愿意以低于要价的金额出售该船舶；及(b) 经纪人就该船舶的出售对买方不负任何义务，或者未经买方同意，不得向卖方披露买方愿意支付高于报价的价格。\n\n11. PSA第6节第二句现修改如下：\n\n交割前不少于两（2）个营业日，卖方应向买方交付：(a) 令买方满意的所有权证据；(b) 已支付或解除全部权利负担的证明（将在交割时全额清偿的权利负担除外），该证明可为破产法院作出的批准出售该船舶的命令（且该命令应规定该船舶出售给买方时不存在任何权利负担）；(c) 卖方作出的保证及赔偿，保证卖方在本第6款中的陈述和保证；(d) 如卖方为法人实体，则由卖方实益所有人作出的个人保证及赔偿，保证卖方在本第6款中的陈述和保证；以及(e) 向买方转让完整且可流通所有权所需的任何其他文件副本。\n\n12. PSA第7节第二句和第三句现修改如下：\n\n如买方接受该船舶后该船舶受损，且必要修理的费用低于购买价款的百分之五（5%）并可在30日内完成，则由卖方选择，(a) 卖方可/必须在交割前依良好海事实务，将损害修复至紧接损害发生前该船舶的标准，且买方可检查该等修理；在此情形下，(b) 买方应/必须支付余额并接收经修复的该船舶，及(c) 交割日期将按修理期间的时长延长。如买方接受该船舶后该船舶受损程度更大，或卖方未行使前句所述选择权，任何一方均可终止本PSA，其后果与买方拒绝该船舶时相同。\n\n13. PSA第8节现修改如下：\n\n尽管本协议另有任何相反规定，如保证金未在到期时支付，或因买方未履行义务而未完成交割，包括但不限于未能在交割日之前支付余额或签署完成购买所必需的全部文件：(i) 保证金应由卖方和经纪人留存（或者，如保证金未支付，买方应向卖方和经纪人支付同等金额），作为约定的违约赔偿金及清算损害赔偿金，作为签署本PSA的对价，并就双方之间的所有索赔作出完全和解；(ii) 销售经纪人应向买方返还从买方收到的任何其他资金；及(iii) 双方应免除本PSA项下的全部义务；但是，前提是，在破产法院批准本PSA后，如因买方未履行义务而未完成交割，卖方应从保证金中向挂牌经纪人支付等于$200,000的金额，该金额应抵扣并减少挂牌经纪人在船舶向另一买方完成出售时可能赚取的任何佣金（根据其与卖方签订的委托函）。买方和卖方同意，保证金应首先用于支付买方或经纪人就船舶产生的任何未付成本或费用，随后按百分之五十（50%）分配给卖方，并按百分之五十（50%）分配给经纪人；经纪人应按若完成出售时佣金本应分配的相同比例进行分配。如因卖方未履行义务而未完成交割（为免生疑问，不包括破产法院拒绝批准本PSA），保证金以及买方根据本PSA支付或存入的任何其他款项，应在要求时返还给买方，或者买方有权要求继续履行。卖方同意，鉴于船舶的独特性、损失证明的困难以及以其他方式获得充分救济的不便或不可能性，继续履行是合理的。如因卖方未履行义务而未完成交割，在卖方违约时，卖方应立即向经纪人支付如交易已完成交割本应支付的相同佣金；但是，破产法院拒绝批准本PSA不构成卖方未履行义务。如破产法院未批准本PSA，本PSA应视为终止，其后果与买方依照本PSA拒绝接受船舶时相同。尽管本PSA有任何相反规定，如因任何原因未完成交割（包括(a)买方未履行其在本PSA项下的义务，(b)破产法院未批准本PSA，或(c)买方依照本PSA拒绝接受船舶），卖方有权选择以成本价向买方购买勘验报告；如卖方行使该选择权，买方应在收到该勘验报告成本的付款后立即向卖方提供完整的勘验报告。\n\n14. 兹将PSA第9条第一句修改如下：\n\n如适用，买方购买船舶应付的销售税或使用税由买方负责，且买方应于交割时向受托人/销售经纪人支付应付税款。\n\n15. 兹在PSA第11条第一句之后增加以下句子：\n\n买方声明并保证，其拥有足够的现金及/或融资以于交割时支付购买价款。买方还声明并保证，其不与Ho Wan Kwok（郭文贵）有关联或存在关系，且/或并非代表Ho Wan Kwok或应Ho Wan Kwok之要求行事。\n\n16. 兹将PSA第14条修改如下：\n\n双方确认，(a) 在资金结算进入销售经纪人的账户之前，销售经纪人不对保证金负责；(b) 资金结算后，销售经纪人应以托管方式持有保证金，且任何一名经纪人从任何一方收到的任何其他资金均应为该方以信托方式持有；(c) 销售经纪人应依照本PSA付款，并可在向卖方发放或支付保证金或余额之前留存应付给经纪人的佣金；及(d) 在涉及经纪人持有的任何资金的任何争议中，买方和卖方应就与该争议以任何方式相关的律师费和成本向经纪人作出赔偿，包括任何上诉中产生的费用（该义务由托管资金上的留置权担保）以及与佣金索赔相关的费用，但破产法院作出的最终且不可上诉的判决认定某经纪人故意不当行为或存在重大过失的除外。\n\n17. 兹将PSA第16条第二句和第三句修改如下：\n\n如经纪人成为涉及本PSA的任何诉讼的一方，经纪人应由被认定违反本PSA的一方或多方偿还其在审前、审判及上诉各阶段产生的合理成本和律师费，除非破产法院作出的最终且不可上诉的判决认定该经纪人故意不当行为或存在重大过失。如本协议双方之间因本PSA的标的事项发生任何争议，胜诉方（包括经纪人）有权追回所有审前、审判及上诉程序中的合理支出、律师费和成本，除非破产法院作出的最终且不可上诉的判决认定该胜诉方故意不当行为或存在重大过失。\n\n18. 兹将PSA第16条第九句和第十句修改如下：\n\n买方可将本PSA转让给买方的任何直系家庭成员，或由买方及/或其任何直系家庭成员拥有或控制的任何实体。除此之外，任何一方均不得未经另一方同意而转让本PSA，且该同意不得被无理拒绝。\n\n19. 兹将PSA第4页签字栏中的“销售经纪人保证金确认（以资金结算为准）”修改为：“卖方保证金确认（以资金结算为准）”。\n\n卖方\n\n签署人：\n姓名：Luc A.
