Without lawful excuse, the Contractors (A) fail to perform the Works or any substantial part of them for a running period of at least 5 days, provided that thereafter the Owners give the Contractors at least 2 days written notice of their intention to terminate under this Clause 9(a), and within that period the Contractors fail to remedy their breach, or (B) clearly indicate their intention not to perform the Contract; or

Thereupon the Owners shall be obliged to pay any part of the Contract Price that relates to the Works performed up to the date of termination. However, the Owners shall be entitled to set-off against which payment

 

（A）依照第六条（a）述及的费用；（B）因终止的理由而发生的灭失/或索赔。在这个事件中，（A）和（B）超过了承修方的总责，委修方应从其中支付一笔相同费用作为合同价格的未付部分。此后，尽管有第五条（c）(3)规定，委修方仍然有权把承修船舶从承修方船厂移走而不受妨碍和干预。

(A) any sums payable pursuant to Clause 6(a), and (B) any losses and/or claims not otherwise excluded which they may suffer by reason of the termination. To the extent that (A) and (B) exceed the Contractors’ Total Liability, the Owners shall be discharged from their obligation to pay an equivalent sum out of any unpaid part of the Contract Price. Thereafter, notwithstanding the provisions of Clause 5 (c)(3), the Owners shall have the right to remove the Vessel from the Contractors’ Yard without hindrance or interference by the Contractors or those for whom they are responsible.

Without lawful excuse, the Owners(A) fail to pay any sums due under the Contract for a period of 5 days provided that thereafter the Contractors give the Owners at least 2 days written notice of their intention to terminate under this clause 9(b), and within that period Owners fail to remedy the breach, or (B) clearly indicate their intention not to perform the Contract; or

 

（3）           在承修工程施工期间，承修方的财产遭到委修方在本合同项下应负责的损害情况，合理估算修复损害的费用超过委修方的总责。

There is damage to the Contractors’ property in the course of the Works for which the Owners are liable under the terms of the Contract and the reasonably estimated cost of repairing the damage exceeds the Owners’ Total Liability.

 

因此，承修方有权收回合同终止前完工部分尚未支付的合同价款，（A）承修方或分包方或其他已发生遭受的全部灭失；（B）上述尚未支付部分及承修船舶通讯费用，但在任何时候，（A）和（B）之和不应超过委修方的总责部分。

Either party shall be deemed insolvent(the Insolvent Party) if it(A) makes any voluntary arrangement with its creditors or becomes subject to an administration order or gore into liquidation (otherwise than for the purposes of amalgamation or reconstruction); or (B) an encumbrance takes possession of, or a receiver is appointed in respect of any of the Insolvent Party’s property or assets; or (C) the other party reasonably apprehends that any of the events mentioned in (A) or (B) above is about to occur in relation to the Insolvent Party and, after notification to the Insolvent Party is not reasonably satisfied as to its continuing creditworthiness an/or not provided with suitable guarantees.
