16.2Performance Failure

16.2.1Failure by Project Co to make available required volume of LNG

If, with respect to any cargo scheduled for delivery under the FOB ADP or FOB Ninety Day Schedule, as applicable, Project Co fails to make available to the Transporter all or part of the FOB SCQ, and such failure is not for any reasons attributable to the Transporter (including Transporter Force Majeure), (a) the Transporter shall have no obligation to make available to DES Buyer the equivalent quantity of LNG in respect of the corresponding cargo scheduled for delivery under the DES ADP or DES Ninety Day Schedule, as applicable, and (b) Project Co shall pay the Transporter the amount that is equal to the aggregate of: (i) the Transport Fee in respect of such cargo as calculated in accordance with Clause 11.2.3 and (ii) any net incremental shipping costs incurred by the Transporter as a result of such failure (including cool-down costs). Notwithstanding part (a) of the foregoing sentence, Project Co’s failure to make available all or part of the FOB SCQ of a Diverted Cargo shall not impact the Transporter’s obligation to deliver the Swapped Cargo to DES Buyer.

16.2.2Failure by the Transporter to complete the delivery of cargo

If, with respect to any cargo scheduled for delivery under the DES ADP or DES Ninety Day Schedule, as applicable, the Transporter does not make available (and is not deemed to have made available in accordance with the DES SPA) all or part of the DES SCQ to the DES Buyer under the DES SPA (to the extent such shortfall is not otherwise excused pursuant to Section 5.7.1 of the DES SPA) (the “Transporter Shortfall Quantity”), and such failure is not (i) for any reasons attributable to Project Co (including Project Co Force Majeure) or (ii) due to Transporter Force Majeure, the Transporter shall:

(A)make payment to Project Co for any amounts owed by Project Co to DES Buyer by way of Cargo DoP Payment in respect of the Transporter Shortfall Quantity;

(B)if the Transporter Shortfall Quantity resulted from the Transporter’s failure to deliver all or part of a cargo loaded hereunder that was scheduled in the FOB ADP or FOB Ninety Day Schedule, use its reasonable efforts to resell such Transporter Shortfall Quantity on behalf of Project Co (whether as LNG or Gas) to Third Parties in order to achieve the maximum net price achievable for such Transporter Shortfall Quantity; and

(C)make payment to Project Co of any proceeds of sale received by Project Co or the Transporter (on behalf of Project Co) as a result of the resale of such Transporter Shortfall Quantity pursuant to Clause 16.2.2(B), where applicable;

and the amounts set out in Clauses 16.2.2(A) and 16.2.2(C) shall together comprise the "Transporter Failure Amount".

For the avoidance of doubt, in the event the Transporter Shortfall Quantity is less than the DES SCQ, such cargo shall be deemed a “Delivered Cargo” and Project Co shall pay the Transport Fee calculated in accordance with Clause 11.1.2 in respect of such Delivered Cargo.

16.3Demurrage and Excess Boil-off

16.3.1In the event that Project Co incurs liability for demurrage or excess boil-off under Section 7.15 of the DES SPA the following shall apply:

(A)to the extent Project Co incurred said liability as a result of the Transporter's failure to act as a Reasonable and Prudent Operator, Project Co shall have the right to invoice Transporter for any amounts due under said Section 7.15 and the Transporter shall pay such invoice; or

(B)to the extent Project Co incurred said liability as a result of circumstances other than those set out in Clause 16.3.1(A):

(1)Project Co shall be responsible for amounts due to DES Buyer under said Section 7.15; and

(2)the Transporter shall have the right to invoice Project Co for any reasonable and direct costs which the Transporter incurred as a result of the delay, provided that the Transporter used reasonable efforts to mitigate such costs.

(A)any amount paid by DES Buyer to Project Co pursuant to said Section 7.13.3 shall be for the Transporter's account; and

(B)to the extent the amount paid to the Transporter pursuant to Clause 16.3.2(A) is less than the costs or expenses suffered or incurred by the Transporter as a result of the applicable Terminal Operator failing to berth the LNG Tanker as set out in said Section 7.13.3, the Transporter shall be entitled to invoice Project Co for any shortfall, provided that the Transporter used commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate such costs and expenses.

16.4Limitations on Liability

16.4.1Incidental and Consequential Losses

Neither Party shall be liable to the other Party hereunder as a result of any act or omission in the course of, or in connection with, the performance of this Agreement, for, or in respect of:

(A)any indirect, incidental, consequential or exemplary losses;

(B)any loss of income or profits;

(C)except as expressly provided in this Agreement, any failure of performance or delay in performance to the extent relieved by the occurrence of Transporter Force Majeure or Project Co Force Majeure in accordance with Clause 15; or

The Parties agree that it would be impracticable to determine accurately the extent of the loss, damage and expenditure that either Party would have in the circumstances described in Clauses 14, 15.3, 16.2 and Paragraph 5.3 of Schedule 1. Accordingly, the Parties have estimated and agreed in advance that the sole liability, and exclusive remedy for such circumstances shall be as provided in those Clauses, and neither Party shall have additional liability as a result of any such circumstances. Each amount described in or determined by the provisions of Clauses 14, 15.3, 16.2 and Paragraph 5.3 of Schedule 1 is intended to represent a genuine pre-estimate by the Parties as to the loss or damage likely to be suffered by the Party receiving the payment or benefit in each such circumstance and is intended to constitute compensation, and not a penalty. Each Party waives any right to claim or assert, in any arbitration or expert determination pursuant to Clause 24 (Dispute Resolution and Governing Law) in any action with respect to this Agreement, that any of the exclusive remedies set forth in Clauses 14, 15.3, 16.2 and Paragraph 5.3 of Schedule 1 do not represent a genuine pre-estimate by the Parties as to the loss or damage likely to be suffered by the Party receiving the payment or benefit in each such circumstance or otherwise are not valid and enforceable damages.

16.4.4Express Remedies

The Parties agree that Clause 16.4.1 shall not impair a Party’s obligation to pay the amounts specified in, or the validity of or limitations imposed by, Clause 14, Clause 15.3, Clause 16.2, Paragraph 5.3 of Schedule 1, Paragraph 11.1 of Part B of Schedule 2 and Paragraph 11.2 of Part B of Schedule 2.

16.4.5Remedies in Contract

Except with respect to claims for injunctive relief under Clauses 21 (Confidentiality), a Party’s sole remedy against the other Party for non-performance or breach of this Agreement or for any other claim of whatsoever nature arising out of or in relation to this Agreement shall be in contract and (save for any liability arising from the death or personal injury of a person arising from the negligence of a Party) no Party shall be liable to another Party (or its Affiliates and contractors and their respective members, directors, officers, employees and agents) in respect of any damages or losses suffered or claims which arise out of, under or in any alleged breach of statutory duty or tortious act or omission or otherwise.

16.4.6Transporter Aggregate Liability for Certain Events

(C)The "Transporter Liability Cap" shall be USD *** (US$***).

16.4.7Disclaimer of Warranties

EXCEPT FOR WARRANTIES OF TITLE AND NO LIENS OR ENCUMBRANCES, AND SUBJECT TO THE PROVISIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT CONCERNING THE QUALITY OF LNG TO BE DELIVERED UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, TRANSPORTER EXPRESSLY NEGATES ANY WARRANTY WITH RESPECT TO LNG DELIVERED UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, WRITTEN OR ORAL, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY WITH RESPECT TO CONFORMITY TO SAMPLES, MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

23.2Subject to Clause 23.1, unless this Clause 23 is applicable as a result of the termination of the DES SPA that is due to the fault of Transporter, Project Co shall pay to Transporter termination compensation equal to the net present value of the total revenue reasonably expected by the Transporter under this Agreement, from delivery of the cargoes that would have otherwise been delivered during the remainder of the Term had the DES SPA not been terminated, minus the amount Transporter can reasonably be expected to recover by redeploying LNG Tankers under contract at the time of termination of this Agreement. Each of the Parties agree that the termination compensation is not a penalty but is liquidated damages in a reasonable amount that will compensate Transporter in circumstances in which the termination compensation is payable, which amount would otherwise be impossible to calculate with precision.

24.DISPUTE RESOLUTION AND GOVERNING LAW

Any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement, including its subject matter, existence, formation, validity, interpretation, performance, breach, enforceability, or termination (including any non-contractual dispute or claim) (“Dispute”) shall be determined in accordance with the procedure in this Clause 24.

24.1Arbitration

24.1.1Any Dispute, other than a Dispute submitted to an Expert under Clause 24.2, shall be referred to and finally be determined by arbitration in accordance with the Arbitration Rules of the International Chamber of Commerce (the “ICC Rules”).

The two arbitrators nominated by the parties shall within [30] days of the confirmation of the second arbitrator jointly nominate a third arbitrator to act as president of the arbitral tribunal. If the party-nominated arbitrators fail to agree, the ICC Court shall appoint the president of the arbitral tribunal.

24.1.6No Party may publish, disclose or communicate any documents or information relating to (a) the arbitral proceedings under this Clause 24.1; or (b) any order or award made in those arbitral proceedings, save and to the extent that the Party is required to make such disclosure to fulfil a legal duty, to protect or pursue a legal right or to enforce or challenge an award in bona fide legal proceedings before a state court or other judicial authority.

24.1.7The Parties do not consent to the publication of any award made pursuant to this clause.

24.1.8Each Party agrees (i) to be joined to any arbitration commenced under this Agreement or any Related Agreement; (ii) to the consolidation of any two or more arbitrations commenced under this Agreement or any Related Agreement into a

single arbitration; and (iii) that Disputes may be determined in a single arbitration together with disputes arising out of or in connection with any Related Agreement.

24.1.9Without in any way prejudicing or intending to limit the application, scope or effectiveness of this agreement to arbitrate, to the extent that any claim or cause of action arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or any transaction contemplated by this Agreement is not arbitrated, each of the Parties irrevocably and voluntarily waives any right they may have had to a trial by jury in respect of such claim or cause of action.

24.2Expert Determination

24.2.1Where there is a disagreement between the Parties regarding a measurement under Exhibit A or in accordance with Clause 1.3.2 or any other Dispute which the Parties agree in writing to submit to an Expert (“Measurement Dispute”), the Parties hereby agree that such Measurement Dispute may be resolved by Expert Determination in accordance with this Clause 24.2.1. The Party desiring to refer a Measurement Dispute to an expert determination shall give the other Party written notice of the referral.

24.2.2The Expert shall be appointed by agreement between the parties within [10] days of the notice of referral or, failing such agreement, by the ICC International Centre for ADR (“the Centre”). Where the Expert has to be appointed by the Centre, the Centre shall administer the proceedings in accordance with the Rules for the Administration of Expert Proceedings of the International Chamber of Commerce. The Expert shall be and remain at all times wholly independent and impartial, and, once appointed, the Expert shall have no ex parte communications with any of the Parties to the Measurement Dispute concerning the expert determination or the underlying Measurement Dispute. The Parties to the Measurement Dispute shall cooperate fully in the expeditious conduct of such expert determination and provide the Expert with access to all facilities, books, records, documents, information and personnel necessary to make a fully informed decision in an expeditious manner.

24.2.3The Expert Determination proceedings shall not be regarded as an arbitration.

24.2.4The Expert Determination proceedings, including the Expert’s decision, shall be confidential and any evidence given, or statements made in the course of the hearing may not be used against a Party in any other proceedings other than in relation to this Agreement.

24.2.5The Expert shall render its reasoned decision in writing (including reasons) on the Measurement Dispute no later than sixty (60) Days after his or her appointment. Before issuing a final decision, the Expert shall issue a draft report and allow the Parties to the Measurement Dispute five (5) days to comment on it (which comments the Expert shall consider but not be under any duty to incorporate).

24.2.6The Expert shall determine the portion of the costs of the referral to be paid by each Party; however, each Party shall be responsible for its own costs associated with the referral.

24.2.7In the absence of fraud, the Expert’s decision shall be final and binding on the Parties to the Measurement Dispute upon the notification to them of the Expert’s written decision unless any of the Parties refer the Measurement Dispute to arbitration pursuant to Clause 24.1 of this Agreement within thirty (30) Days upon notification of the Expert’s decision.

24.2.8The Expert shall not be appointed in the arbitration as an arbitrator or as advisor to either Party without the agreement of the Parties to the Measurement Dispute.

24.3Governing Law

This Agreement, including the other provisions of this Clause 24.3, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York (United States of America) without regard to principles of conflict of laws that would specify the use of other laws.

11.1.2If, with respect to any Diverted Cargo identified in Paragraph 11.1.1, the Transporter does not take all or part of the FOB SCQ of such cargo, and such failure to take is not otherwise excused pursuant to Paragraph 11.1.1, then the amount by which the FOB SCQ for such cargo exceeds the quantity of LNG taken by the Transporter in relation to such cargo shall be the “Diverted Cargo Shortfall Quantity”.

11.1.3With respect to any Diverted Cargo Shortfall Quantity, the Transporter shall pay to Project Co Cover Damages, if Cover Damages are a positive amount, in accordance with the following:

(A)“Cover Damages” shall be equal to: (i) the FOB Price, multiplied by the Diverted Cargo Shortfall Quantity; minus (ii) the proceeds of any Diverted Cargo Mitigation Sale, if any; minus (iii) reasonable and verifiable savings obtained by Project Co (including savings related to avoided fuel Gas for LNG production, transportation and Third Party costs avoided) as a result of the Diverted Cargo Mitigation Sale as opposed to the sale to the Transporter; plus (iv) any actual, reasonable, verifiable, incremental costs incurred by Project Co as a result of such Diverted Cargo Mitigation Sale (including costs related to transporting, marketing, selling, and delivery of the Diverted Cargo Shortfall Quantity). For purposes of calculating Cover Damages, the FOB Price shall be determined as of the Month in which the applicable FOB Delivery Window begins.

(B)Project Co shall use reasonable efforts to mitigate its Losses and reduce Cover Damages payable resulting from the Transporter's failure to take such Diverted Cargo Shortfall Quantity by reselling such Diverted Cargo Shortfall Quantity (whether as LNG or Gas) to Third Parties (each such sale a “Diverted Cargo Mitigation Sale”); except that any sale of a quantity of LNG (or Gas) by Project Co to any Third Party that Project Co was already obligated to make at the earlier to occur of (i) the Transporter’s failure to take such LNG; or (ii) the Transporter’s notice to Project Co that it will not take such LNG, is not a Diverted Cargo Mitigation Sale.

(C)Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Diverted Cargo Shortfall Quantity is within the operational tolerance of *** percent (***%) of the FOB SCQ for such Diverted Cargo (“Operational Tolerance”) (such Operational Tolerance to be exercised by Transporter only with respect to operational matters regarding the LNG Tanker, and without regard to Gas markets or other commercial considerations), the Cover Damages shall be zero USD (US$0.00).

11.1.4Any payment that Transporter makes under this Paragraph 11.1 shall not be limited by Clause 16.4.1.

11.1.5For the purposes of this Part B of Schedule 2, the "FOB Price" shall be calculated as follows:

(A)in respect of any Loaded Cargo, the FOB Price shall be an amount equal to the FOB CSP (as defined in Clause 11.1.2) multiplied by the loaded quantity of the Loaded Cargo; and

(B)in respect of any cargo that is not loaded by the Transporter hereunder, the FOB Price shall be an amount equal to the FOB CSP (as defined in Clause 11.1.2) multiplied by the FOB SCQ of such cargo,

in each case where 'FOB CSP' shall have the meaning given in Clause 11.1.2.

11.2Project Co's Failure to Make Available

11.2.1In respect of each Diverted Cargo, Project Co shall make available to the Transporter the FOB SCQ set forth in the FOB ADP or FOB Ninety Day Schedule, less:

(A)quantities of LNG not taken by the Transporter for any reason attributable to the Transporter (other than quantities for which the Transporter is excused from taking pursuant to this Agreement due to Project Co’s breach of this Agreement), including Diverted Cargo Force Majeure affecting the Transporter;

(B)quantities of LNG for which the Transporter has provided a notice of cancellation pursuant to Paragraph 1.4 of Part A of Schedule 2; and

(C)quantities of LNG not made available by Project Co due to Diverted Cargo Force Majeure.

11.2.2Except as otherwise excused pursuant to this Agreement, if for any reason other than those specified in Paragraph 11.2.1, Project Co does not make available the FOB SCQ in respect of any Diverted Cargo identified in Paragraph 11.2.1 then the amount by which the FOB SCQ for such Diverted Cargo exceeds the quantity of LNG made available by Project Co shall be the “Diverted Cargo DoP Quantity”. Project Co shall make a payment to the Transporter for each MMBtu of the Diverted Cargo DoP Quantity in an amount equal to: (a) the actual, documented price incurred by the Transporter for the purchase of a replacement quantity of LNG or Gas (not to exceed the MMBtu equivalent of the Diverted Cargo DoP Quantity), or, in respect of any Diverted Cargo DoP Quantity for which a replacement quantity cannot be purchased, the market price of LNG at such time for delivery FOB in the U.S. Gulf Coast; less (b) the FOB Price; plus (c) any actual, reasonable, and verifiable costs (if any), incurred by Transporter due to such failure, including costs associated with transportation; plus (d) any actual, verifiable costs incurred by the Transporter in respect of idling the LNG Tanker scheduled to load the Diverted Cargo DoP Quantity; less (e) actual, reasonable, and verifiable cost savings realised by the Transporter due to Project Co’s failure to make the FOB SCQ for such Diverted Cargo available (the “Diverted Cargo DoP Payment”). For the purposes of calculating the Diverted Cargo DoP Payment, the FOB Price shall be determined as of the Month in which the applicable FOB Delivery Window begins.

11.2.3Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Diverted Cargo DoP Quantity is within the Operational Tolerance (such Operational Tolerance to be exercised by Project Co only with respect to operational matters regarding the Corpus Christi Facility (or Alternate Production Facility, as applicable), and without regard to Gas markets or other commercial considerations), the Diverted Cargo DoP Payment shall be zero USD (US$0.00).

11.2.4The Transporter shall use reasonable efforts to mitigate Project Co’s liability to make any payments pursuant to this Paragraph 11.2.

11.2.5In the event the ability of the Corpus Christi Facility to produce and deliver LNG is impaired due to an unscheduled services interruption that does not constitute Diverted Cargo Force Majeure, then during such event of interruption, Project Co shall comply with the Foundation Customer Priority in allocating the LNG that is available from the Corpus Christi Facility.

11.2.6If as a result of Project Co’s failure to make available the FOB SCQ in respect of a Diverted Cargo, a partial cargo is made available to the Transporter, and the master of the relevant LNG Tanker deems in his sole discretion the loading of such quantity unsafe for loading and/or transporting to the relevant Receiving Terminal, then the Transporter may reject such quantity and such quantity shall be added to the Diverted Cargo DoP Quantity.

11.2.7Any payment that Project Co makes under this Paragraph 11.2 shall not be limited by Clause 16.4.1.

11.2.8Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no circumstances shall the Diverted Cargo DoP Payment exceed an amount equal to the FOB CSP (as defined in Clause 11.1.2) multiplied by the Diverted Cargo DoP Quantity.

12.DIVERTED CARGO FORCE MAJEURE

12.1Diverted Cargo Force Majeure

Neither Party shall be liable to the other Party for any delay or failure in performance under this Agreement in respect of a Diverted Cargo if and to the extent such delay or failure is a result of Diverted Cargo Force Majeure. To the extent that the Party so affected fails to use commercially reasonable efforts to overcome or mitigate the effects of such events of Diverted Cargo Force Majeure, it shall not be excused for any delay or failure in performance that would have been avoided by using such commercially reasonable efforts. Subject to the provisions of this Paragraph 12, the term “Diverted Cargo Force Majeure” shall mean any act, event or circumstance, whether of the kind described herein or otherwise, that is not reasonably within the control of, does not result from the fault or negligence of, and would not have been avoided or overcome by the exercise of reasonable diligence by, the Party claiming Diverted Cargo Force Majeure or an Affiliate of the Party claiming Diverted Cargo Force Majeure (provided that for these purposes, “Affiliate” shall not include the other Party), such Party and, as applicable, its Affiliate having observed a standard of conduct that is consistent with a Reasonable and Prudent Operator, and that prevents or delays in whole or in part such Party’s performance of one or more of its obligations under this Agreement.

12.3.2the particulars of the program to be implemented to resume normal performance under this Agreement; and

12.3.3the anticipated portion of the FOB SCQ in respect of such Diverted Cargo that will not be made available or taken, as the case may be, by reason of Diverted Cargo Force Majeure.

Such notices shall thereafter be updated at least monthly during the period of such claimed Diverted Cargo Force Majeure specifying the actions being taken to remedy the circumstances causing such Diverted Cargo Force Majeure.

12.4Measures

Prior to resumption of normal performance, the Parties shall continue to perform their obligations under this Agreement to the extent not excused by such event of Diverted Cargo Force Majeure.

12.5No Extension of Term

The Term shall not be extended as a result of or by the duration of an event of Diverted Cargo Force Majeure.

12.6Settlement of Industrial Disturbances

Settlement of strikes, lockouts, or other industrial disturbances shall be entirely within the discretion of the Party experiencing such situations, and nothing in this Agreement shall require such Party to settle industrial disputes by yielding to demands made on it when it considers such action inadvisable.

12.7Foundation Customer Priority

Notwithstanding any other provision in this Paragraph 12, during any event of Diverted Cargo Force Majeure affecting Project Co, the Transporter acknowledges that the remaining capacity at the Corpus Christi Facility is apportioned by Project Co according to the Foundation Customer Priority.

13.BUSINESS PRACTICES

The Transporter shall promptly provide to Project Co all information required by Project Co or Project Co’s Affiliate to comply with the Export Authorizations. If any Export Authorization requires conditions to be included in this Agreement then, within fifteen (15) days following the issuance of the Export Authorization imposing such condition, the Parties shall discuss the appropriate changes to be made to this Agreement to comply with such Export Authorization and shall amend this Agreement accordingly. The Transporter acknowledges and agrees that it may resell or transfer LNG purchased hereunder for delivery only to the countries identified in an Export Authorization and/or to purchasers that have agreed in writing to limit their direct or indirect resale or transfer of such LNG to such countries. The Transporter represents and warrants that the final delivery of LNG received pursuant to the terms of this Agreement are permitted and lawful under United States of America laws and policies, including the rules, regulations, orders, policies, and other determinations of the United States Department of Energy, the Office of Foreign Assets Control of the United States Department of the Treasury and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, and the Transporter shall not take any action which would cause any Export Authorization to be withdrawn, revoked, suspended or not renewed.

13.2Records; Audit

Each Party shall keep all records necessary to confirm compliance with Paragraph 13.1 for a period of five (5) years following the year for which such records apply. If either Party asserts that the other Party is not in compliance with Paragraph 13.1, the Party asserting non-compliance shall send a notice to the other Party indicating the type of non-compliance asserted. After giving such notice, the Party asserting non-compliance may cause an independent auditor to audit the records of the other Party in respect of the asserted noncompliance. The costs of any independent auditor under this Paragraph 13.2 shall be paid (i) by the Party being audited, if such Party is determined not to be in full compliance with this Paragraph 13.1, and (ii) by the Party requesting the audit, if the Party being audited is determined to be in full compliance with Paragraph 13.1.

2.4Project Co shall have the right to reject any LNG vessel that the Transporter intends to use to take delivery of LNG hereunder at the Corpus Christi Facility (or Alternate Production Facility, as applicable) if such LNG vessel does not comply materially with the provisions of this Agreement, provided that:

2.4.1neither the exercise nor the non-exercise of such right shall reduce the responsibility of the Transporter to Project Co in respect of such LNG vessel and her operation, nor increase Project Co’s responsibilities to the Transporter or Third Parties for the same; and

2.4.2the Transporter’s obligations under this Agreement shall not be excused or suspended by reason of Transporter’s inability (pursuant to the foregoing) to use a vessel as an LNG Tanker.

In the event the master of an LNG Tanker fails to execute such FOB Port Liability Agreement, the Transporter, subject to Clause 16.4, shall indemnify and

hold Project Co and its Affiliates harmless from any Claims brought against, or Losses incurred by Project Co or any of its Affiliates arising from such failure.

3.2Subject to Paragraph 3.1 and without prejudice to the terms of the FOB Port Liability Agreement, Project Co releases Transporter, its Affiliates, and their respective shareholders, officers, members, directors, employees, designees, representatives, and agents from liability to Project Co incident to all Claims and Losses that may exist, arise or be threatened currently or in the future at any time following the Effective Date and whether or not of a type contemplated by either Party at any time, brought by any Person for injury to, illness or death of any employee of Project Co, or for damage to or loss of the Corpus Christi Facility (or Alternate Production Facility, as applicable), which injury, illness, death, damage or loss arises out of, is incident to, or results from the performance or failure to perform this Agreement by Transporter, or any of its Affiliates, shareholders, officers, members, directors, employees, designees, representatives and agents.

3.3Subject to Paragraph 3.1 and without prejudice to the terms of the FOB Port Liability Agreement, Transporter releases Project Co, its Affiliates, and their respective shareholders, officers, members, directors, employees, designees, representatives, and agents from liability to Transporter incident to all Claims and Losses that may exist, arise or be threatened currently or in the future at any time following the Effective Date and whether or not of a type contemplated by either Party at any time, brought by any Person for injury to, illness or death of any employee of Transporter, or for damage to or loss of any LNG Tanker, which injury, illness, death, damage or loss arises out of, is incident to, or results from the performance or failure to perform this Agreement by Project Co or its Affiliates, shareholders, officers, members, directors, employees, designees, representatives and agents.

3.4The form of FOB Port Liability Agreement may be amended from time to time without the consent of the Transporter only if after any such amendment the revised terms of such FOB Port Liability Agreement:

3.4.1do not negatively impact Transporter’s ability to perform its obligations or exercise its rights under this Agreement;

3.4.2treat Transporter in a non-discriminatory manner in comparison to all other owners and charterers of LNG vessels that use or transit the Loading Port; and

3.4.3do not prevent any Transporter from obtaining, on commercially reasonable terms, xxxx X&X insurance coverage from a Protection and Indemnity Club that is a member of the International Group of P&I Clubs, and such P&I insurance will cover all Claims and Losses pursuant to such FOB Port Liability Agreement in relation to use of the Loading Port by an LNG Tanker.

Project Co shall promptly notify Transporter upon any amendment to the FOB Port Liability Agreement and shall provide a copy of the amended FOB Port Liability Agreement to Transporter.

4.CORPUS CHRISTI MARINE OPERATIONS MANUAL

4.1The Parties acknowledge that Project Co has delivered to Transporter a copy of the marine operations manual developed for the Corpus Christi Facility (as amended from time to time, the “Corpus Christi Marine Operations Manual”) which governs activities at the Corpus Christi Facility, consistent with International Standards, and which applies to each LNG Tanker and each other LNG vessel berthing at the Corpus Christi Facility.

4.2In the event of a conflict between this Agreement and the Corpus Christi Marine Operations Manual, the provisions of this Agreement shall take priority.

4.3Project Co shall promptly notify Transporter upon any amendment to the Corpus Christi Marine Operations Manual and shall provide a copy of the amended Corpus Christi Marine Operations Manual to Transporter.

5.LOADING OF LNG TANKERS

5.1Except as otherwise specifically provided, the terms of this Paragraph 5 shall apply to all LNG Tankers calling at the Corpus Christi Facility (or Alternate Production Facility, as applicable).

5.2As soon as practicable after the LNG Tanker’s departure from the point of departure en route to the Corpus Christi Facility (or Alternate Production Facility, as applicable), Transporter shall notify, or cause the master of the LNG Tanker to notify, Project Co of the information specified below ("In-Transit First Notice"):

5.2.1name of the LNG Tanker and, in reasonable detail, the dimensions, specifications, tank temperatures, volume of LNG onboard, operator, and owner of such LNG Tanker;

5.2.2any operational deficiencies in the LNG Tanker that may affect its performance at the Corpus Christi Facility (or Alternate Production Facility, as applicable) or berth; and

5.2.3the estimated time of arrival at the customary Pilot boarding station for the Loading Port ("ETA").

5.3With respect to each LNG Tanker scheduled to call at the Corpus Christi Facility (or Alternate Production Facility, as applicable), Transporter shall give, or cause the master of the LNG Tanker to give, to Project Co the following notices:

5.3.1A second notice ("In-Transit Second Notice"), which shall be sent ninety-six (96) hours prior to the ETA set forth in the In-Transit First Notice or as soon as practicable prior to such ETA if the sea time between the point of departure of the LNG Tanker and the Loading Port is less than ninety six (96) hours, stating the LNG Tanker’s then ETA. If, thereafter, such ETA changes by more than six (6) hours, the Transporter shall give promptly, or cause the master of the LNG Tanker to give promptly, to Project Co's notice of the corrected ETA;

5.3.2The forty-eight (48) hour informational notice as required by the Corpus Christi Marine Operations Manual;

5.3.3A third notice ("In-Transit Third Notice"), which shall be sent twenty-four (24) hours prior to the ETA set forth in the In-Transit Second Notice (as corrected), confirming or amending such ETA. If, thereafter, such ETA changes by more than three (3) hours, the Transporter shall give promptly, or cause the master of the LNG Tanker to give promptly, to Project Co notice of the corrected ETA;

5.3.4A fourth notice ("In-Transit Final Notice"), which shall be sent twelve (12) hours prior to the ETA set forth in the In-Transit Third Notice (as corrected), confirming or amending such ETA. If, thereafter, such ETA changes by more than one (1) hour, the Transporter shall give promptly, or cause the master of the LNG Tanker to give promptly, to Project Co notice of the corrected ETA; and

5.3.5A Notice of Readiness which shall be given at the time prescribed in Paragraph 6.

5.4The Transporter shall have the right to cause a LNG Tanker to burn Gas as fuel during operations at the Corpus Christi Facility (including while conducting cargo transfer operations).

5.5All vapour returned to Project Co during cool-down or loading operations may be used or disposed of by Project Co without compensation to Transporter.

6.NOTICE OF READINESS

6.1The master of an LNG Tanker arriving at the Corpus Christi Facility (or Alternate Production Facility, as applicable), or such master’s agent, shall give to Project Co its Notice of Readiness for loading upon arrival of such LNG Tanker at the pilot boarding station, provided that such LNG Tanker has all required Approvals from the relevant Governmental Authorities, and is ready, willing, and able, to proceed to berth and load LNG or to commence cool-down operations (as applicable).

6.2A valid Notice of Readiness given under Paragraph 6.1 shall become effective as follows:

6.2.1For an LNG Tanker arriving at the pilot boarding station at any time prior to the FOB Delivery Window allocated to such LNG Tanker, a Notice of Readiness shall be deemed effective at the earlier of 6:00 a.m. Central Time on such FOB Delivery Window or the time at which the LNG Tanker is all fast at the berth;

6.2.2For an LNG Tanker arriving at the pilot boarding station at any time during the FOB Delivery Window allocated to such LNG Tanker, a Notice of Readiness shall become effective at the time of its issuance; or

6.2.3For an LNG Tanker arriving at the pilot boarding station at any time after the expiration of the FOB Delivery Window, a Notice of Readiness shall become effective upon Project Co’s notice to the LNG Tanker that it is ready to receive the LNG Tanker at berth.

7.BERTHING ASSIGNMENT

7.1Project Co shall berth an LNG Tanker which has tendered a valid Notice of Readiness before or during its FOB Delivery Window promptly after Project Co determines such LNG Tanker will not interfere with berthing and loading or unloading of any other scheduled LNG vessel with a higher berthing priority but in no event later than the end of the FOB Delivery Window allocated to such LNG Tanker; provided, however, that if Project Co does not berth such LNG Tanker by the end of the FOB Delivery Window, but berths such LNG Tanker within seventy-two (72) hours after the end of its FOB Delivery Window, Transporter’s sole recourse and remedy for Project Co’s failure to berth the LNG Tanker by the end of the FOB Delivery Window is:

7.1.1demurrage pursuant to Paragraph 8.3,

7.1.2payment for excess boil-off pursuant to Paragraph 8.4; and

7.1.3provision by Project Co of a cool-down pursuant to Paragraph 13.1.

If, as of the seventy-second (72nd) hour after the end of the FOB Delivery Window, Project Co has not berthed the LNG Tanker, and such delay is not attributable to a reason that would result in an extension of Allotted Laytime under Paragraph 8.1, Project Co shall be deemed to have failed to make the FOB SCQ of the relevant cargo available for delivery and the provisions of Clause 16.2 shall apply.

7.2For each delivery window period, Project Co shall determine the berthing priority among LNG vessels which have tendered a valid Notice of Readiness before or during their scheduled delivery window as follows:

7.2.1The first berthing priority for a delivery window period shall be for an LNG vessel scheduled for such delivery window period. Priority within this group shall be given to the LNG vessel which has first tendered Project Co its valid Notice of Readiness. Once an LNG vessel achieves a first berthing priority pursuant to this Paragraph 7.2.1 or Paragraph 7.2.2, such LNG vessel shall maintain such priority until such LNG vessel is berthed, so long as its tendered Notice of Readiness remains valid; and

7.2.2The second berthing priority for a delivery window period shall be for an LNG vessel scheduled for arrival after such delivery window period. Priority within this group shall be given to the LNG vessel which has first tendered Project Co its valid Notice of Readiness. An LNG vessel with second berthing priority pursuant to this Paragraph 7.2.2. will achieve a first berthing priority on its scheduled delivery window pursuant to Paragraph 7.2.1 if such LNG vessel has not been berthed prior to such date, so long as its tendered Notice of Readiness remains valid.

7.3If an LNG Tanker tenders a valid Notice of Readiness after the end of its FOB Delivery Window, Project Co shall use reasonable efforts to berth such LNG Tanker as soon as reasonably practical; provided, however, that, unless otherwise agreed with the Transporter, Project Co shall have no obligation to use such efforts to berth an LNG Tanker

that tenders a Notice of Readiness more than seventy-two (72) hours after the end of its FOB Delivery Window. If, as of the seventy-second (72nd) hour after the end of the FOB Delivery Window, the LNG Tanker has not tendered a valid Notice of Readiness, and such delay is not attributable to a reason that would result in an extension of allowed berth time under Paragraph 10.2.2, the Transporter shall be deemed to have failed to take delivery of the FOB SCQ of the relevant cargo and the provisions of Clause 16.2.2 shall apply.

8.BERTH LAYTIME

8.1The allotted laytime for each LNG Tanker (“Allotted Laytime”) shall be (i) for an LNG Tanker with an LNG cargo containment capacity of *** (***) Cubic Meters or less, thirty-six (36) hours and (ii) for an LNG Tanker with an LNG cargo containment capacity of greater than *** (***) Cubic Meters, according to the following formula:

36 + x = Allotted Laytime (in hours)

where:

x = y/12,000 Cubic Meters; and

y = the LNG cargo containment capacity of the LNG Tanker in excess of *** (***) Cubic Meters).

8.2Allotted Laytime shall be extended by any period of delay that is caused by:

8.2.1reasons attributable to the Transporter, a Governmental Authority, the LNG Tanker or its master, crew, owner or operator or any Third Party outside of the reasonable control of Project Co;

8.2.2force majeure or Adverse Weather Conditions;

8.2.3unscheduled curtailment or temporary discontinuation of operations at the Corpus Christi Facility (or Alternate Production Facility, as applicable) necessary for reasons of safety, except to the extent such unscheduled curtailment or temporary discontinuation of operations is due to Project Co’s failure to operate and maintain its facilities as a Reasonable and Prudent Operator;

8.2.4time at berth during cool-down pursuant to Paragraphs 13.1.1 and 13.1.3; and

8.2.5night-time transit restrictions.

8.3The actual laytime for each LNG Tanker ("Actual Laytime") shall commence when the Notice of Readiness is effective and shall end when (i) the LNG transfer and return lines of the LNG Tanker are disconnected from the Corpus Christi Facility’s (or Alternate Production Facility’s, as applicable) LNG transfer and return lines, (ii) the cargo documents are on board of the LNG Tanker and (iii) the LNG Tanker is cleared for departure and able to depart.

8.4In the event Actual Laytime exceeds Allotted Laytime (including any extension in accordance with Paragraph 8.1) ("Demurrage Event"), Project Co shall pay to the Transporter as liquidated damages demurrage at the daily demurrage rate set forth in Section 7.13.3(a) of the DES SPA. If a Demurrage Event occurs, the Transporter shall invoice Project Co for such demurrage within one hundred eighty (180) Days of such event.

8.5If an LNG Tanker is delayed in berthing at the Corpus Christi Facility (or Alternate Production Facility, as applicable) and/or commencement of LNG transfer due to an event occurring at the Corpus Christi Facility (or Alternate Production Facility, as applicable) and for a reason that would not result in an extension of Allotted Laytime under Paragraph 8.1, and if, as a result thereof, the commencement of LNG transfer is delayed beyond twenty-four (24) hours after the Notice of Readiness is effective, then, for each full hour by which commencement of LNG transfer is delayed beyond such twenty-four (24) hour period, Project Co shall pay the Transporter as liquidated damages an amount, on account of excess boil-off, equal to the DES CSP applicable to such cargo, multiplied by a quantity equal to *** percent (***%) of the cargo containment capacity of the applicable LNG Tanker (in MMBtu), multiplied by the duration of the Demurrage Event (in hours). Transporter shall invoice Project Co for such excess boil-off within one hundred eighty (180) Days after the applicable event.

9.LNG TRANSFERS

9.1Project Co shall cooperate with the Transporter (or its agents) and with the master of each LNG Tanker to facilitate the continuous and efficient transfer of LNG hereunder.

9.2During LNG transfer, Project Co shall provide or take receipt of (as applicable), through the Corpus Christi Facility (or Alternate Production Facility, as applicable) vapour return line, Gas in such quantities as are necessary for the safe transfer of LNG at such rates, pressures and temperatures as may be required by the design of the LNG Tanker.

9.3Promptly after completion of loading of each cargo, Project Co shall send to Transporter a certificate of origin, together with such other documents concerning the cargo as may reasonably be requested by DES Buyer.

9.4The Transporter, in cooperation with Project Co, shall cause the LNG Tanker to depart safely and expeditiously from the berth upon completion of LNG transfer.

10.LNG TANKER NOT READY FOR LNG TRANSFER; EXCESS LAYTIME

10.1If any LNG Tanker previously believed to be ready for LNG transfer is determined to be not ready after being berthed, the Notice of Readiness shall be invalid, and Project Co may direct the LNG Tanker’s master to vacate the berth and proceed to anchorage, whether or not other LNG vessels are awaiting the berth, unless it appears reasonably certain to Project Co that such LNG Tanker can be made ready without disrupting the overall berthing schedule of the Corpus Christi Facility (or Alternate Production Facility, as applicable) or operations of the Corpus Christi Facility (or Alternate Production Facility, as applicable). When an unready LNG Tanker at anchorage becomes ready for LNG transfer, its master shall notify Project Co. If, as a result of such LNG Tanker’s not being ready to load, Transporter fails to take a cargo, the provisions of Paragraph 11.1.5(B) of Part B of Schedule 2 shall apply.

10.2The following shall apply with respect to berthing:

10.2.1An LNG Tanker shall complete LNG transfer and vacate the berth as soon as possible but not later than the following allowed laytime:

(A)twenty-four (24) hours from the time the LNG Tanker is all fast at the berth, in the case of an LNG Tanker with an LNG cargo containment capacity less than or equal to *** (***) Cubic Meters; or

(B)in accordance with the following formula, in the case of an LNG Tanker with an LNG cargo containment capacity greater than *** (***) Cubic Meters:

24 + x = allowed laytime (in hours)

where:

x = y/12,000 Cubic Meters; and

y = the LNG cargo containment capacity of the LNG Tanker in excess of *** (***) Cubic Meters.

10.2.2Notwithstanding the foregoing, the allowed laytime shall be extended for: (i) reasons attributable to Project Co or the operator of the Corpus Christi Facility (or Alternate Production Facility, as applicable); (ii) reasons attributable to a Governmental Authority; (iii) reasons attributable to any Third Party outside of the reasonable control of Project Co; (iv) time at berth during any cool-down pursuant to Paragraph 13.1; (v) unscheduled curtailment or temporary discontinuation of operations at the Corpus Christi Facility (or Alternate Production Facility, as applicable) necessary for reasons of safety, except to the extent attributable to Project Co or the Transporter; (vi) force majeure; and (vii) night-time transit restrictions.

10.2.3If an LNG Tanker fails to depart at the end of its allowed laytime (as extended pursuant to Paragraph 10.2.2), another LNG vessel is awaiting the berth and the LNG Tanker’s continued occupancy of the berth will disrupt the overall berthing schedule of the Corpus Christi Facility (or Alternate Production Facility, as

applicable) or operations of the Corpus Christi Facility (or Alternate Production Facility, as applicable), Project Co may direct the LNG Tanker to vacate the berth and proceed to sea at utmost dispatch.

10.2.4If an LNG Tanker fails to depart the berth at the end of its allowed laytime (as extended pursuant to Paragraph 10.2.2) and as a result the subsequent LNG vessel is prevented from or delayed in loading or unloading, the Transporter shall reimburse Project Co for any and all actual documented demurrage or excess boil-off that Project Co becomes contractually obligated to pay to any Third Party with respect to such subsequent LNG vessel, as a result of the LNG Tanker not completing LNG transfer and vacating the berth as required by this Paragraph 10.2; provided that the Transporter shall not be required to reimburse Project Co for any amounts based on a demurrage rate or excess boil-off rate or price in excess of the amounts specified in Paragraphs 8.3 and 8.4, as applicable. Project Co shall invoice Transporter for any amounts due under this Paragraph 10.2.4 within one hundred eighty (180) Days after the relevant FOB Delivery Window.

10.2.5In the event an LNG Tanker fails to vacate the berth pursuant to this Paragraph 10 and Transporter is not taking actions to cause it to vacate the berth, Project Co may effect such removal at the expense of Transporter.

11.COOPERATION

11.1If any circumstance occurs or is foreseen to occur so as to cause delay to an LNG Tanker or any other LNG vessel in berthing, loading, unloading or departing, the Transporter and Project Co shall, without prejudice to any other provision of this Agreement, discuss the problem in good faith with each other and, if appropriate, with other users of the Loading Port, and the Parties shall use reasonable efforts to minimise or to avoid the delay, and at the same time shall cooperate with each other and with such other users of the Loading Port, as appropriate, to find countermeasures to minimise or to avoid the occurrence of any similar delay in the future.

11.2With respect to an LNG Tanker scheduled to load a cargo at the Corpus Christi Facility (or Alternate Production Facility, as applicable), if such LNG Tanker is unable to berth at the Corpus Christi Facility (or Alternate Production Facility, as applicable) by the end of its FOB Delivery Window solely due to a force majeure event, then the relevant cargo shall be cancelled, to the extent affected; provided, however, that if requested by Transporter, Project Co shall use reasonable efforts to change the FOB ADP or Ninety Day Schedule in order to maximise the safe, reliable and efficient usage of the Corpus Christi Facility (or Alternate Production Facility, as applicable) and to assist the Transporter, or buyers having a firm contract to purchase LNG from the Corpus Christi Facility (or Alternate Production Facility, as applicable) to load quantities of LNG which would otherwise have been loaded at the Corpus Christi Facility (or Alternate Production Facility, as applicable) during such cancelled FOB Delivery Windows or other affected delivery windows allocated to such buyers having a firm contract to purchase LNG from the Corpus Christi Facility (or Alternate Production Facility, as applicable).

12.OFF-SPEC LNG

12.1Specifications

LNG delivered under the FOB ADP or FOB Ninety Day Schedule, as applicable, shall, when converted into a gaseous state, comply with the specifications set out in Section 12.1 of the DES SPA (the “FOB Specifications”).

12.2Determining LNG Specifications

LNG shall be tested pursuant to Exhibit A to determine whether such LNG complies with the FOB Specifications.

12.3Off-Specification LNG

12.3.1If Project Co, acting as a Reasonable and Prudent Operator, determines prior to loading a cargo that the LNG is expected not to comply with the FOB Specifications (“Off-Spec FOB LNG”) upon loading, then:

(A)Project Co shall give notice to the Transporter of the extent of the expected variance as soon as practicable (but in no case later than the commencement of loading of the cargo);

(B)the Transporter shall use reasonable efforts, including coordinating with DES Buyer the operator of the Receiving Terminal, to accept such LNG for delivery to DES Buyer where the LNG would be acceptable to the DES Buyer and the operator of the Receiving Terminal, each of them acting in their sole discretion, and would not prejudice the safe and reliable operation of any LNG Tanker, the Receiving Terminal, and any downstream facilities being supplied regasified LNG;

(C)if the Transporter can accept delivery of such cargo, then the Transporter shall notify Project Co of the Transporter’s estimate of the direct costs to be incurred by the Transporter, any Affiliate of the Transporter, and the operator of the Receiving Terminal in transporting and treating such Off-Spec FOB LNG (or to otherwise make such LNG marketable), and, to the extent Project Co agrees to such estimate, the Transporter shall take delivery of such cargo, and Project Co shall reimburse the Transporter for all reasonable documented direct costs incurred by the Transporter (including costs owed to any Affiliate of the Transporter, and the operator of the Receiving Terminal in transporting and treating such Off-Spec FOB LNG (or to otherwise make such LNG marketable) prior to and at the Receiving Terminal), provided, however, that Project Co’s liability shall not exceed *** percent (***%) of the estimate notified by the Transporter and agreed by Project Co; and

(D)if (1) the Transporter determines in good faith that it cannot, using reasonable efforts, receive such cargo, (2) Project Co rejects the cost estimate or (3) the Transporter anticipates that it might be liable for costs that would not otherwise be reimbursed pursuant to Paragraph 12.3.1(C), then the Transporter shall be entitled to reject such cargo by giving Project Co notice of rejection within seventy-two (72) hours of the Transporter’s receipt of Project Co’s notice pursuant to Paragraph 12.3.1(A). In the event the Transporter rejects a cargo under this Paragraph 12.3.1(D), Project Co shall be deemed to have failed to make available such cargo and Clause 16.2.1 shall apply.

12.3.2If Off-Spec FOB LNG is delivered to the Transporter without the Transporter being made aware of the fact that such Off-Spec FOB LNG does not comply with the FOB Specifications, or without the Transporter being made aware of the actual extent to which such Off-Spec FOB LNG does not comply with the FOB Specifications, then:

(A)if the Transporter is able, using reasonable efforts, to transport and treat the Off-Spec FOB LNG to meet the FOB Specifications (or to otherwise make such LNG marketable), then Project Co shall reimburse the Transporter for all reasonable documented direct costs incurred by the Transporter (including direct costs owed to any Affiliate of the Transporter and the operator of the Receiving Terminal in transporting and treating such Off-Spec FOB LNG received at the Receiving Terminal to meet the Specifications (or to otherwise make such LNG marketable)); or

(B)if the Transporter determines in good faith that it cannot, using reasonable efforts, transport and treat such Off-Spec FOB LNG to meet the Specifications (or to make such LNG marketable), then: (i) the

Transporter shall be entitled to reject such Off-Spec FOB LNG by giving Project Co notice of such rejection as soon as practicable, and in any case within ninety-six (96) hours after (A) Project Co notifies the Transporter in writing that such LNG is Off-Spec FOB LNG and the actual extent to which such Off-Spec FOB LNG does not comply with the FOB Specifications or (B) the Transporter becomes aware that such LNG is Off-Spec FOB LNG, whichever occurs first; (ii) the Transporter shall be entitled to dispose of the loaded portion of such Off-Spec FOB LNG (or regasified LNG produced therefrom) in any manner that the Transporter, acting in accordance with the standards of a Reasonable and Prudent Operator, deems appropriate; and (iii) Project Co shall reimburse the Transporter in respect of and indemnify and hold the Transporter harmless from all direct loss, damage, costs and expenses incurred by the Transporter as a result of the delivery of such Off-Spec FOB LNG, including in connection with the handling, treatment or safe disposal of such Off-Spec FOB LNG or other LNG being held at the Receiving Terminal or being carried onboard the LNG Tanker which was contaminated by it, cleaning or clearing the LNG Tanker and Receiving Terminal, and damage caused to the LNG Tanker and Receiving Terminal. In the event the Transporter rejects a cargo under this Paragraph 12.3.2(B), Project Co shall be deemed to have failed to make available such cargo and Clause 16.2.1 shall apply.

13.COOL-DOWN AND GAS-UP OF LNG TANKERS

13.1The Transporter shall be solely responsible for ensuring that each LNG Tanker elected by the Transporter for taking a cargo arrives at the Corpus Christi Facility (or Alternate Production Facility, as applicable) cold and in a state of readiness. Notwithstanding the foregoing and subject to Paragraph 13.2, in respect of LNG Tankers scheduled to load a cargo hereunder at the Corpus Christi Facility, Project Co shall provide cool-down service to LNG Tankers at the Transporter’s request as follows:

13.1.1Project Co shall use reasonable efforts (taking into account availability of sufficient berth time) to accept the Transporter’s request to provide cool-down service for any LNG Tanker, subject to the Transporter requesting such cool-down service by notice to Project Co as far in advance of the relevant cargo’s FOB Delivery Window as is reasonably practicable but in no case less than thirty (30) Days before the relevant cargo’s FOB Delivery Window, provided that Project Co shall accept the Transporter’s request to provide a cool-down service if (i) the Transporter makes such request by notice at the time the Transporter proposes its schedule of cargoes pursuant to Paragraph 1.2.2 of Schedule 5 for the relevant Contract Year or (ii) at the time of the request, the loading schedule for the Corpus Christi Facility for the relevant Contract Year indicates sufficient available berth time to accommodate such cool-down service. Project Co shall have no obligation to provide a cool-down service under this Paragraph 13.1.1 in excess of *** (***) cool-downs during any Contract Year. All LNG provided by Project Co for cooling such LNG Tankers shall be sold, delivered and invoiced by Project Co, and paid for by Transporter, at a price equal to the FOB CSP (as defined in Clause 11.1.2);

13.1.2Project Co shall provide cool-down service without charge to any LNG Tankers requiring cool-down solely as a result of a delay caused by Project Co, but only if such LNG Tanker made no other call between the original FOB Delivery Window and the requested cool-down time; and

13.1.3Project Co shall use reasonable efforts, contingent on the availability of sufficient berth time and facilities status to provide cool-down service at any time other than as described in Paragraphs 13.1.1 and 13.1.2 upon request by the Transporter, provided that all LNG provided by Project Co for cooling such LNG Tankers shall be sold, delivered and invoiced by Project Co, and paid for by the Transporter, at a price equal to the FOB CSP (as defined in Clause 11.1.2).

13.2The following shall apply to any cool-down service provided by Project Co pursuant to Paragraph 13.1:

13.2.1the MMBtu content of the total liquid quantities delivered for cooling, measured before evaporation (without deduction of the quantity of vapour returned from the LNG Tanker), shall be determined by reference to the relevant LNG Tanker’s cool-down tables;

13.2.2the Parties will determine by mutual agreement the rates and pressures for delivery of LNG for cool-down, but always in full accordance with safe operating parameters and procedures mutually established and agreed by both the LNG Tanker and the Corpus Christi Facility; and

13.2.3LNG provided during cool down by Project Co pursuant to Paragraph 13.1 shall not be applied against the FOB SCQ for the relevant cargo.

d) Dispute. Any Dispute arising under this Exhibit A shall be submitted to an Expert under Clause 24.2 of this Agreement.

2. Selection of Devices

All devices provided for in this Exhibit A shall be approved by Project Co, acting as a Reasonable and Prudent Operator. The required degree of accuracy (which shall in any case be within the permissible tolerances defined herein and in the applicable standards referenced herein) of such devices selected shall be mutually agreed upon by the Transporter and Project Co. In advance of the use of any device, the Party providing such device shall cause tests to be carried out to verify that such device has the required degree of accuracy.

3. Verification of Accuracy and Correction for Error

a) Accuracy. Accuracy of devices used shall be tested and verified at the request of either Party, including the request by a Party to verify accuracy of its own devices. Each Party shall have the right to inspect at any time the measurement devices installed by the other Party, provided that the other Party is notified in advance. Testing shall be performed only when both Parties are represented, or have received adequate advance notice thereof, using methods recommended by the manufacturer or any other method agreed to by Project Co and the Transporter. At the request of any Party hereto, any test shall be witnessed and verified by an independent surveyor mutually agreed upon by the Transporter and Project Co. Permissible tolerances shall be as defined herein or as defined in the applicable standards referenced herein.

b) Inaccuracy. Inaccuracy of a device exceeding the permissible tolerances shall require correction of previous recordings, and computations made on the basis of those recordings, to zero error with respect to any period which is definitely known or agreed upon by the Parties as well as adjustment of the device. All invoices issued during such period shall be amended accordingly to reflect such correction, and an adjustment in payment shall be made between the Transporter and Project Co. If the period of error is neither known nor agreed upon, and there is no evidence as to the duration of such period of error, corrections shall be made and invoices amended for each delivery of LNG made during the last half of the period since the date of the most recent calibration of the inaccurate device. However, the provisions of this Paragraph 3 shall not be applied to require the modification of any invoice that has become final pursuant to Clause 12.3.2 of this Agreement.

118

c) Costs and Expenses of Test Verification. All costs and expenses for testing and verifying Project Co’s measurement devices shall be borne by Project Co, and all costs and expenses for testing and verifying the Transporter’s measurement devices shall be borne by the Transporter. The fees and charges of independent surveyors for measurements and calculations shall be borne by the Parties in accordance with Paragraph 1.10.3 of Part C of Schedule 4 of this Agreement.

4. Tank Gauge Tables of LNG Tankers

a) Initial Calibration. The Transporter shall arrange or caused to be arranged, for each tank of each LNG Tanker, a calibration of volume against tank level. The Transporter shall provide Project Co or its designee, or cause Project Co or its designee to be provided, with a certified copy of tank gauge tables for each tank of each LNG Tanker verified by a competent impartial authority or authorities mutually agreed upon by the Parties. Such tables shall include correction tables for list, trim, tank contraction and any other items requiring such tables for accuracy of gauging.

Tank gauge tables prepared pursuant to the above shall indicate volumes in cubic meters expressed to the nearest thousandth (1/1000), with LNG tank depths expressed in meters to the nearest hundredth (1/100).

b) Presence of Representatives. Project Co and the Transporter shall each have the right to have representatives present at the time each LNG tank on each LNG Tanker is volumetrically calibrated.

c) Recalibration. If the LNG tanks of any LNG Tanker suffer distortion of such nature as to create a reasonable doubt regarding the validity of the tank gauge tables described herein (or any subsequent calibration provided for herein), the Transporter or the Transporter’s agent shall recalibrate the damaged tanks, and the vessel shall not be employed as an LNG Tanker hereunder until appropriate corrections are made. If mutually agreed between the Transporter and Project Co representatives, recalibration of damaged tanks can be deferred until the next time when such damaged tanks are warmed for any reason, and any corrections to the prior tank gauge tables will be made from the time the distortion occurred. If the time of the distortion cannot be ascertained, the Parties shall mutually agree on the time period for retrospective adjustments.

5. Units of Measurement and Calibration

The Parties shall co-operate in the design, selection and acquisition of devices to be used for measurements and tests in order that all measurements and tests may be conducted in the SI system of units, except for the quantity delivered which is expressed in MMBtu, the Gross Heating Value (volume based) which is expressed in Btu/SCF and the pressure which is expressed in millibar and temperature in Celsius. In the event that it becomes necessary to make measurements and tests using a new system of units of measurements, the Parties shall establish agreed upon conversion tables.

6. Accuracy of Measurement

All measuring equipment must be maintained, calibrated and tested in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations. In the absence of a manufacturer’s recommendation, the minimum frequency of calibration shall be one hundred eighty (180) Days, unless otherwise mutually agreed between the Parties. Documentation of all tests and calibrations will be made available by the Party performing the same to the other Party. Acceptable accuracy and performance tolerances shall be:

a) Liquid Level Gauging Devices.

Each LNG tank of the LNG Tanker shall be equipped with primary and secondary liquid level gauging devices as per Paragraph 7(b) of this Exhibit A.

119

The measurement accuracy of the primary gauging devices shall be plus or minus seven point five (± 7.5) millimeters and the secondary liquid level gauging devices shall be plus or minus ten (± 10) millimeters.

The liquid level in each LNG tank shall be logged or printed.

b) Temperature Gauging Devices.

The temperature of the LNG and of the vapor space in each LNG tank shall be measured by means of a number of properly located temperature measuring devices sufficient to permit the determination of average temperature.

The measurement accuracy of the temperature gauging devices shall be as follows:

(i) in the temperature range of minus one hundred sixty five to minus one hundred forty degree Celsius (-165C to -140°C), the accuracy shall be plus or minus zero point two degree Celsius (± 0.2 °C);

(ii) in the temperature range of minus one hundred forty to plus forty degree Celsius (-140C to +40 °C), the accuracy shall be plus or minus one point five degree Celsius (± 1.5 °C).

The temperature in each LNG tank shall be logged or printed.

c) Pressure Gauging Devices.

Each LNG tank of the LNG Tanker shall have one (1) absolute pressure gauging device.

The measurement accuracy of the pressure gauging device shall be plus or minus one percent (± 1%) of the measuring range.

The pressure in each LNG tank shall be logged or printed.

d) List and Trim Gauging Devices.

A list gauging device and a trim gauging device shall be installed. These shall be interfaced with the custody transfer system.

The measurement accuracy of the list and the trim gauging devices shall be better than plus or minus zero point zero five (±0.05) degrees for list and plus or minus zero point zero one (± 0.01) meters for trim.

7. Gauging and Measuring LNG Volumes Delivered

a) Gauge Tables. Upon Project Co’s representative and the independent surveyor, if present, arriving on board the LNG Tanker prior to the commencement of or during loading, the Transporter or the Transporter’s representative shall make available to them a certified copy of tank gauge tables for each tank of the LNG Tanker.

b) Gauges. Volumes of LNG delivered pursuant to this Agreement shall be determined by gauging the LNG in the tanks of the LNG Tankers before and after loading. Each LNG Tanker’s tank shall be equipped with a minimum of two (2) independent sets of level gauges, each set utilizing preferably a different measurement principle. Comparison of the two (2) systems, designated as Primary and Secondary Measurement Systems, shall be performed from time to time to ensure compliance with the acceptable performance tolerances stated herein.

c) Gauging Process. Gauging the liquid level of each tank of the LNG Tankers and measuring of liquid temperature, vapor temperature and vapor pressure in each LNG tank, trim and list of the LNG Tankers, and atmospheric pressure shall be performed, or caused to be performed, by the

120

Transporter before and after loading. Project Co’s representative shall have the right to be present while all measurements are performed and shall verify the accuracy and acceptability of all such measurements. The first gauging and measurements shall be made immediately before the commencement of loading. The second gauging and measurements shall take place immediately after the completion of loading.

d) Records. Copies of gauging and measurement records shall be furnished to Project Co immediately upon completion of loading.

e) Gauging Liquid Level of LNG. The level of the LNG in each LNG tank of the LNG Tanker shall be gauged by means of the primary gauging device installed in the LNG Tanker for that purpose. The level of the LNG in each tank shall be logged or printed.

Measurement of the liquid level in each LNG tank of the LNG Tanker shall be made to the nearest millimeter by using the primary liquid level gauging devices. Should the primary devices fail, the secondary device shall be used.

Five (5) readings shall be made following manufacturer’s recommendations on reading interval. The arithmetic average of the readings rounded to the nearest millimeter using one (1) decimal place shall be deemed the liquid level.

f) Determination of Temperature. The temperature of the LNG and of the vapor space in each LNG tank shall be measured by means of a sufficient number of properly located temperature measuring devices to permit the determination of average temperature. Temperatures shall be measured at the same time as the liquid level measurements and shall be logged or printed.

In order to determine the temperature of liquid and vapor respectively in the LNG Tanker one (1) reading shall be taken at each temperature gauging device in each LNG tank. An arithmetic average of such readings rounded to the nearest zero point one degree Celsius (0.1 °C) using two (2) decimal places with respect to vapor and liquid in all LNG tanks shall be deemed the final temperature of the vapor and liquid respectively.

The Transporter shall cause each cargo tank in the LNG Tanker to be provided with a minimum of five (5) temperature measuring devices. One such measuring device shall be located in the vapor space at the top of each cargo tank, one near the bottom of each cargo tank and the remainder distributed at appropriate intervals from the top to the bottom of the cargo tank. These devices shall be used to determine the average temperatures of the liquid cargo and the vapor in the cargo tank.

The average temperature of the vapor in an LNG Tanker shall be determined immediately before loading by means of the temperature measuring devices specified above at the same time as when the liquid level is measured. The temperature measuring devices shall be fully surrounded by the vapor. This determination shall be made by taking the temperature readings of the temperature measuring devices in question to the nearest zero point zero one degrees Celsius (0.01°C), and if more than one of the devices are fully surrounded by the vapor, by averaging those readings, and rounding to one (1) decimal place.

The average temperature of the liquid in an LNG Tanker shall be determined immediately after loading by means of the temperature measuring devices specified above.

g) Determination of Pressure. The pressure of the vapor in each LNG tank shall be determined by means of pressure measuring devices installed in each LNG tank of the LNG Tankers. The atmospheric pressure shall be determined by readings from the standard barometer installed in the LNG Tankers. Pressures shall be measured at the same time as the liquid level measurements, and shall be logged or printed.

121

the Transporter shall cause the LNG Tanker to be provided with pressure measuring equipment capable of determining the absolute pressure of the vapor in each cargo tank with an accuracy equal to or better than plus or minus one percent (± 1%) of the measuring range.

The pressure of the vapor in an LNG Tanker shall be determined immediately before loading at the same time as when the liquid level is measured.

Such determination shall be made by taking the pressure readings of the pressure measuring devices to the nearest millibar, then averaging these readings and rounding to a whole millibar.

h) Determination of Density. The LNG density shall be calculated using the revised Xxxxxx-XxXxxxxx method. Should any improved data, method of calculation or direct measurement device become available which is acceptable to both the Transporter and Project Co, such improved data, method or device shall then be used.

8. Samples for Quality Analysis

a) General. Representative liquid samples shall be collected from an appropriate point located as close as practical to the loading line starting one (1) hour after full loading rate is reached and ending one (1) hour before ramping down from the full loading rate.

Sampling conducted by Project Co will conform with the procedure specified in (i), (ii) or (iii) as follows:

i)Online chromatograph: A sample shall be taken and analyzed at least once every twenty (20) minutes by an on-line chromatograph during the sampling period referenced in the opening paragraph of section 8(a) of this Exhibit A. These intermittent samples will be passed through a vaporizer, and samples of the vaporized liquid will be analyzed. The arithmetically averaged analysis, representative of the delivered LNG cargo shall be used for all appropriate calculations. Samples taken when biphasic or where overheated LNG is suspected to be in the main transfer line will be disregarded.

In instances where the on-line chromatograph system being utilized were to fail during loading operations manual samples (composite or spot) collected shall be analyzed.

ii) Composite sample: One (1) representative sample of the loading shall be collected by continuous sampling of the delivered LNG. If applicable the sample analysis shall be applied to the appropriate calculations associated with the delivered LNG cargo.

iii) Spot samples: One (1) spot sample shall be collected from the vaporizer at each point in time corresponding to approximately twenty-five percent (25%), fifty percent (50%) and seventy-five percent (75%) of loading is completed. If applicable the analysis of spot samples shall be conducted, averaged and applied to the appropriate calculations associated with the delivered LNG cargo.

b) Manual Samples. It is recognized that for every loading manual samples should be retained for use by the Transporter and Project Co.

i) Where sampling analysis is conducted using spot samples per section 8(a)iii of this Exhibit A, two (2) sets of samples shall be collected from the vaporizer at each point in time corresponding to approximately twenty-five percent (25%), fifty percent (50%) and seventy-five percent (75%) of loading is completed and retained.

122

ii) Where sampling analysis is conducted using a composite sample per section 8(a)ii of this Exhibit A, two (2) samples shall be collected from the collection devices at the end of loading and retained.

The samples collected shall be properly labeled and sealed by the independent surveyor in attendance. Project Co shall retain all samples for a period of thirty (30) Days, unless the analysis is disputed prior to the end of such thirty (30) Day period. If the analysis is in dispute, the samples will be retained until the dispute is resolved.

Notwithstanding the above, it is recognized from time to time that the Transporter may require one (1) of the retained samples to accompany the LNG cargo delivery, provided sufficient notice.

Where the Transporter receives a set of samples, the Transporter shall return the set of sample cylinders provided or an identical set within sixty (60) Days. If the set of sample cylinders provided are not returned or replaced to Project Co’s satisfaction within the sixty (60) Day period, Project Co will procure replacement cylinders and the Transporter will be invoiced for the cost of replacement cylinders inclusive of preparation cost.

Sampling and analysis methods and procedures that differ from the above may be employed with the mutual agreement of the Parties.

9. Quality Analysis

a) Certification and Deviation. Chromatograph calibration gasses shall be provided and their composition certified by an independent third party. From time to time, deviation checks shall be performed to verify the accuracy of the gas composition mole percentages and resulting calculated physical properties. Analyses of a sample of test gas of known composition resulting when procedures that are in accordance with the above mentioned standards have been applied will be considered as acceptable if the resulting calculated gross heating value is within plus or minus zero point three percent (± 0. 3%) of the known gross heating value of the test gas sample. If the deviation exceeds the tolerance stated, the gross real heating value, relative density and compressibility previously calculated will be corrected immediately. Previous analyses will be corrected to the point where the error occurred, if this can be positively identified to the satisfaction of both Parties. Otherwise it shall be assumed that the drift has been linear since the last recalibration and correction shall be based on this assumption.

b) GPA Standard 2261. All samples shall be analyzed by Project Co to determine the molar fraction of the hydrocarbon and other components in the sample by gas chromatography using a mutually agreed method in accordance with GPA Standard 2261 - Method of Analysis for Gas and Similar Gaseous Mixtures by Gas Chromatography, current as of January 1st, 1990 and as periodically updated or as otherwise mutually agreed by the Parties. If better standards for analysis are subsequently adopted by GPA or other recognized competent impartial authority, upon mutual agreement of the Transporter and Project Co, they shall be substituted for the standard then in use, but such substitution shall not take place retroactively. A calibration of the chromatograph or other analytical instrument used shall be performed by Project Co immediately prior to the analysis of the sample of LNG delivered. Project Co shall give advance notice to the Transporter of the time Project Co intends to conduct a calibration thereof, and the Transporter shall have the right to have a representative present at each such calibration; provided, however, Project Co will not be obligated to defer or reschedule any calibration in order to permit the representative of the Transporter to be present.

c) GPA Standard 2377. Project Co shall determine the presence of Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S) by use of GPA Standard 2377 – Test of Hydrogen Sulfide and Carbon Dioxide in Gas Using Length of Stain Tubes. Total sulfur will be determined as the summation of sulfur compounds (i.e. mercaptans) following ASTM D1988-06 (Standard Test Method for Mercaptans in Natural Gas using Length-of-Stain Detector Tubes). If the presence of Hydrogen Sulfide or sulfur compounds is detected, an additional test shall be performed to confirm the respective concentration(s) following either: (i) ASTM D6228 (Determination of Sulfur Compounds in Natural Gas and Gaseous Fuels by Gas Chromatography and Flame Photometric Detection), (ii) ASTM D5504 (Determination of Sulfur

123

Compounds in Natural Gas and Gaseous Fuels by Gas Chromatography and Chemiluminescence), (iii) ASTM D6667 (Determination of Total Volatile Sulfur in Gaseous Hydrocarbons and Liquefied Petroleum Gases by Ultraviolet Fluorescence), or (iv) any other testing method mutually agreed by the Parties.

10. Operating Procedures

a) Notice. Prior to conducting operations for measurement, gauging, sampling and analysis provided in this Exhibit A, the Party responsible for such operations shall notify the appropriate representatives of the other Party, allowing such representatives reasonable opportunity to be present for all operations and computations; provided that the absence of the other Party’s representative after notification and opportunity to attend shall not prevent any operations and computations from being performed.

b) Independent Surveyor. At the request of either Party any measurement, gauging, sampling and analysis shall be witnessed and verified by an independent surveyor mutually agreed upon by the Transporter and Project Co. The results of such surveyor’s verifications shall be made available promptly to each Party.

c) Preservation of Records. All records of measurement and the computed results shall be preserved by the Party responsible for taking the same, or causing the same to be taken, and made available to the other Party for a period of not less than three (3) years after such measurement and computation.

11. Quantities Delivered

a) Calculation of MMBtu Quantities. Project Co shall calculate, or cause to be calculated and the Transporter shall verify, the quantity of MMBtu delivered. Either Party may, at its own expense, require the measurements and calculations and/or their verification by an independent surveyor, mutually agreed upon by the Parties. Consent to an independent surveyor proposed by a Party shall not be unreasonably withheld by the other Party.

b) Determination of Gross Heating Value. All component values shall be in accordance with the latest revision of GPA Standard 2145 SI (2009) - Physical Constants for Hydrocarbons & Other Compounds of Interest to the Natural Gas Industry and the latest revision of the reference standards therein. Standard reference conditions for Hi component should be 15°C & 101.325 kPa.

c) Determination of Volume of LNG Loaded.

(i) The LNG volume in the tanks of the LNG Tanker before and after loading (valves have to be closed) shall be determined by gauging on the basis of the tank gauge tables provided for in Paragraph 6. During the period when measurement is occurring, no LNG cargo, ballast, boil-off gas, fuel oil or other cargo transfer activity will be carried out on the LNG Tanker. Measurements shall first be made immediately before loading commences. Accordingly, after connection of the loading arms, but prior to their cool-down, and immediately before opening the manifold ESD valves of the LNG Tanker, the initial gauging shall be conducted upon the confirmation of stoppage of all spray pumps and compressors and shut-off of the gas master valve to the LNG Tanker’s boilers or any other gas consuming unit. The gas master valve to the LNG Tanker’s boilers or any other gas consuming unit shall remain closed until after the second gauging, unless a regulatory change requires the consumption of gas during the vessel loading operations and/or upon mutual agreement between all parties upon which event the procedure for the measurement of gas consumed during loading shall be calculated in accordance with Paragraph 12.4 of this Exhibit A. A second gauging shall be made immediately after loading is completed. Accordingly, the second gauging shall be conducted upon the confirmation of shut-off of the manifold ESD valves, with transfer pumps off and allowing sufficient time for the liquid level to stabilize. Measurements prior to loading and after loading will be carried out based on the condition of the LNG Tanker’s lines upon arrival at berth. Since significant volumes of LNG may remain in the LNG Tanker’s manifold and crossover, gauging will be performed with these lines in the same condition prior to loading and after loading. If the LNG Tanker’s manifold and crossover lines are empty (warm) when

124

measurement is taken before loading commences, they will be emptied prior to measurement following the completion of loading. If the crossover lines are liquid filled (cold) when measurement is taken before loading commences, they will remain full (cold) until measurement is taken following the completion of loading. The volume of LNG remaining in the tanks immediately before loading of the LNG Tanker shall be subtracted from the volume immediately after loading and the resulting volume shall be taken as the volume of the LNG delivered from the terminal to the LNG Tanker.

The volume of LNG stated in cubic meters to the nearest zero point zero zero one (0.001) cubic meter, shall be determined by using the tank gauge tables and by applying the volume corrections set forth therein.

(ii) Gas returned to the terminal and gas consumed by the LNG Tanker during loading shall be taken into account to determine the volume loaded for the Transporter’s account in accordance with the formula in Paragraph 12.4 of this Exhibit A – MMBtu Calculation of the Quantity of LNG Loaded.

(iii) If failure of the primary gauging and measuring devices of an LNG Tanker should make it impossible to determine the LNG volume, the volume of LNG loaded shall be determined by gauging the liquid level using the secondary gauging and measurement devices. If an LNG Tanker is not so equipped, the volume of LNG loaded shall be determined by gauging the liquid level in Project Co’s onshore LNG storage tanks immediately before and after loading the LNG Tanker, in line with the terminal procedures, and such volume shall have subtracted from it an estimated LNG volume, agreed upon by the Parties, for boil-off from such tanks during the loading of such LNG Tanker. Project Co shall provide the Transporter, or cause the Transporter to be provided with, a certified copy of tank gauge tables for each onshore LNG tank which is to be used for this purpose, such tables to be verified by a competent impartial authority.

12. Calculations

The calculation procedures contained in this Paragraph 12 are generally in accordance with the Institute of Petroleum Measurement Manual, Part XII, the Static Measurement of Refrigerated Hydrocarbon Liquids, Section 1, IP 251/76.

Hv = gross heating value (volume based) of the LNG loaded in Btu/SCF, calculated in accordance with the method specified in Paragraph 12.5 of this Exhibit A.

K1 = volume correction in m3/kmol, at temperature Tl, obtained by linear interpolation from Paragraph 12.6(c) of this Exhibit A, rounded to six (6) decimal places.

K2 = volume correction in m3/kmol, at temperature Tl obtained by linear interpolation from Paragraph 12.6(d) of this Exhibit A, rounded to six (6) decimal places.

125

Mi = molecular mass of component “i” in kg/kmol, in accordance with Paragraph 12.6(a) of this Exhibit A.

P = average absolute pressure of vapor in an LNG Tanker immediately before loading, in millibars, rounded to a whole millibar.

Q = number of MMBtu contained in the LNG delivered, rounded to the nearest ten (10) MMBtu.

Tl = average temperature of the liquid cargo in the LNG Tanker immediately after loading, in degrees Celsius, rounded to one (1) decimal place.

Tv = average temperature of the vapor in an LNG Tanker immediately before loading, in degrees Celsius, rounded to one (1) decimal place.

V = the volume of the liquid cargo loaded, in cubic meters, rounded to three (3) decimal places.

Vh = the volume of the liquid cargo in an LNG Tanker immediately before loading, in cubic meters, rounded to three (3) decimal places.

Vb = the volume of the liquid cargo in an LNG Tanker immediately after loading, in cubic meters, rounded to three (3) decimal places.

Vi = molar volume of component “i” at temperature Tl, in m3/kmol, obtained by linear interpolation from Paragraph 12.6(b) of this Exhibit A, rounded to six (6) decimal places.

Xi = molar fraction of component “i” of the LNG samples taken from the loading line, rounded to four (4) decimal places, determined by gas chromatographic analysis.

Xm = the value of Xi for methane.

Xn = the value of Xi for nitrogen.

12.1 Density Calculation Formula

The density of the LNG loaded which is used in the MMBtu calculation in 12.4 of this Exhibit A shall be calculated from the following formula derived from the revised Xxxxxx-XxXxxxxx method:

In the application of the above formula, no intermediate rounding shall be made if the accuracy of “d” is thereby affected.

12.2 Calculation of Volume Delivered

The volume, in cubic meters, of each LNG cargo loaded shall be calculated by using the following formula:

126

12.3 Calculation of Gross Heating Value (Mass Based)

The gross heating value (mass based), in MJ/kg, of each LNG cargo loaded shall be calculated by using the following formula:

12.4 MMBtu Calculation of the Quantity of LNG Loaded

The number of MMBtu contained in the LNG loaded shall be calculated using the following formula:

The derivation of the conversion factor 1/1055.12 in the formula in this Paragraph for the conversion of MJ into MMBtu is obtained from GPA-2145:1994 and IP-251:1976 as follows:

(a) q(T,P) means the gross heating value (measured at temperature T and pressure P), contained in a given quantity of gas;

(b) q(60°F, 14.696 psia) in MJ = 1/1.00006 x q(15°C, 1013.25 millibar) in MJ;

(d) q(60°F, 14.696 psia) in MMBtu = 1/1055.06 x q(60°F, 14.696 psia) in MJ; and

(e) Combining (b) and (d) above yields:

q(60°F, 14.696 psia) in MMBtu = 1/1055.12 x q(15°C, 1013.25 millibar) in MJ.

Hence the number of MJ derived shall be divided by 1055.12 to obtain the number of MMBtu for invoicing purposes.

QBOG = the quantity of boil off gas in MJ consumed by the LNG tanker during loading, calculated as follows:

QBOG = (V2 x 55.575)

where:

V2 = the quantity of natural gas consumed by the LNG tanker during loading (as calculated pursuant to the below formula), stated in kg and rounded to the nearest kg; and

55.575 = the heating value of the vapor (assumed to be 100% of methane) stated in MJ/kg at standard reference conditions (15˚C, 1.01325 bar) for both combustion & metering references (tables below).

Quantity of Natural Gas Consumed by LNG Tanker (V2)

The quantity of natural gas consumed by the LNG tanker during loading shall be computed by taking the initial and the final reading of Natural Gas Consumption Meter on board the

127

tanker (i.e. final reading of Natural Gas Consumption Meter after completion of loading minus initial reading of Natural Gas Consumption Meter before the start of loading) and is calculated by using the following formula:

V2 = Vf – Vi

where:

V2 = the quantity of natural gas consumed by the LNG tanker during loading, stated in kg;

Vf = the reading of Natural Gas Consumption Meter on board the tanker after the completion of loading, stated in kg; and

Vi = the reading of Natural Gas Consumption Meter on board the tanker before the start of loading, stated in kg.

12.5 Calculation of Gross Heating Value (Volume Based)

The calculation of the Gross Heating Value (volume based) in Btu/SCF shall be derived from the same compositional analysis as is used for the purposes of calculating the Gross Heating Value (mass based) Hm and the following formula shall apply:

The derivation of the conversion factor 1.13285 for the conversion of MJ/kmol into Btu/SCF is obtained as follows:

(a) molar gross heating value = ∑ (Xi x Mi x Hi) MJ/kmol;

(b) 1 kmol = 2.20462 lbmol;

(d) hence 1 kmol = 836.614 SCF; and

(e) Hv = 1,000,000/ (1055.12 x 836.614) x ∑ (Xi x Mi x Hi) Btu/SCF
