Miscellaneous

Section 8.1 Survival of Representations and Warranties. The representations and warranties of Höegh LNG and Höegh LNG Ltd. in this Agreement, and in or under any documents, instruments and agreements delivered pursuant to this Agreement, will survive the completion of the transactions contemplated hereby regardless of any independent investigations that the Partnership may make or cause to be made, or knowledge it may have, prior to the date of this Agreement and will continue in full force and effect for a period of one year from the date of this Agreement. At the end of such period, such representations and warranties will terminate, and no claim may be brought by the Partnership against Höegh LNG and Höegh LNG Ltd. in respect of such representations and warranties, except for claims that have been asserted by the Partnership prior to the date of this Agreement.

Section 8.3 Headings; References, Interpretation. All Article and Section headings in this Agreement are for convenience only and will not be deemed to control or affect the meaning or construction of any of the provisions hereof. The words “hereof,” “herein” and “hereunder,” and words of similar import, when used in this Agreement, refer to this Agreement as a whole, including, without limitation, all Schedules attached hereto, and not to any particular provision of this Agreement. All references herein to Articles, Sections and Schedules will, unless the context requires a different construction, be deemed to be references to the Articles and Sections of this Agreement and the Schedules attached hereto, and all such Schedules attached hereto are hereby incorporated herein and made a part hereof for all purposes. All personal pronouns used in this Agreement, whether used in the masculine, feminine or neuter gender, include all other genders, and the singular includes the plural and vice versa. The use herein of the word “including” following any general statement, term or matter will not be construed to limit such statement, term or matter to the specific items or matters set forth immediately following such word or to similar items or matters, whether or not non-limiting language (such as “without limitation,” “but not limited to” or words of similar import) is used with reference thereto, but rather will be deemed to refer to all other items or matters that could reasonably fall within the broadest possible scope of such general statement, term or matter.

Section 8.4 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and assigns.

Section 8.5 No Third-Party Rights. The provisions of this Agreement are intended to bind the Parties as to each other and are not intended to, and do not create, rights in any other person or confer upon any other person any benefits, rights or remedies. No person is or is intended to be a third-party beneficiary of any of the provisions of this Agreement.

Section 8.6 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts with the same effect as if all Parties had signed the same document. All counterparts will be construed together and constitute one and the same instrument. The delivery of an executed counterpart copy of this Agreement by facsimile or electronic transmission in PDF format will be deemed to be the equivalent of delivery of the originally executed copy thereof.

Section 8.7 Governing Law. This Agreement is governed by, and construed in accordance with, the Laws of the state of New York, United States of America, applicable to contracts made and to be performed wholly within such jurisdiction without giving effect to conflict-of-Law principles thereof other than Section 5-1401 of the New York General Obligations Law, except to the extent that it is mandatory that the Law of some other jurisdiction applies.

Section 8.8 Severability. If any of the provisions of this Agreement are held by any court of competent jurisdiction to contravene, or to be invalid under, the Laws of any governmental body having jurisdiction over the subject matter hereof, such contravention or invalidity will not invalidate the entirety of this Agreement. Instead, this Agreement will be construed as if it did not contain the particular provision or provisions held to be invalid, and an equitable adjustment will be made and necessary provision added so as to give effect, as nearly as possible, to the intention of the Parties as expressed in this Agreement at the time of execution of this Agreement.

Section 8.9 Deed; ▇▇▇▇ of Sale; Assignment. To the extent required and permitted by applicable Law, this Agreement will also constitute a “deed,” “▇▇▇▇ of sale” or “assignment” of the interests referenced herein.

This Agreement and the instruments referenced herein supersede all previous understandings or agreements among the Parties, whether oral or written, with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement and such instruments. This Agreement and such instruments contain the entire understanding of the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof. No understanding, representation, promise or agreement, whether oral or written, is intended to be or will be included in or form part of this Agreement unless it is contained in a written amendment hereto executed by the Parties after the date of this Agreement.
