O&M shall second, or cause its applicable seconding Affiliate to second, the Provided Personnel to MLP GP to provide the Services.

2.2	Fees and Expenses.

Each month, MLP GP will pay to O&M, within a reasonable time following receipt thereof, all payments that MLP GP receives from Sabine Pass LNG pursuant to Articles VIII and IX of the O&M Agreement less any costs incurred by MLP GP in hiring personnel provided by a third party to provide Services pursuant to Section 3.6 hereof.

ARTICLE 3

SECONDMENT

3.1	Provided Personnel.

Subject to the terms of this Agreement, O&M agrees to second to MLP GP, and MLP GP agrees to accept the Secondment of, those certain specifically identified individuals listed in Exhibit B (the “Provided Personnel Schedule”) for the purpose of performing job functions related to the Project. The Provided Personnel will be temporary employees of MLP GP during the Period of Secondment and shall, at all times during the Period of Secondment, work under the direction, supervision and control of MLP GP. Provided Personnel shall have no authority or apparent authority to act on behalf of O&M during the Period of Secondment. The Provided Personnel Schedule sets forth the names of the Provided Personnel seconded by O&M, the job functions of the Provided Personnel, and the starting and ending dates for the Period of Secondment of the Provided Personnel. Individuals may be added or removed from the Provided Personnel Schedule from time to time by the execution by the Parties of a completed “Addition/Removal/Change of Responsibility of Provided Personnel” form, the form of which shall be similar to the form attached to this Agreement as Exhibit C, which will be fully binding on the Parties for all purposes under this Agreement. Those rights and obligations of the Parties under this Agreement that relate to individuals that were on the Provided Personnel Schedule but then later removed from the Provided Personnel Schedule, which rights and obligations accrued before the removal of such individual, will survive the removal of such individual from the Provided Personnel Schedule to the extent necessary to enforce such rights and obligations.

3.2	Period of Secondment.

O&M will second, or cause its applicable seconding Affiliate to second, to MLP GP such Provided Personnel on the start date set forth on the Provided Personnel Schedule and continuing, during the period (and only during the period) that the Provided Personnel are performing Services for MLP GP, until the earlier of:

(a) the end of the term of this Agreement;

(b) the end date set forth for the Provided Personnel on the Provided Personnel Schedule (or another end date for such Provided Personnel as mutually agreed in writing by the Parties) (the “End Date”);

(d) a termination of Secondment of such Provided Personnel under Section 3.4.

The period of time that any Provided Personnel is provided by O&M to MLP GP is referred to in this Agreement as the “Period of Secondment.” At the end of the Period of Secondment for any Provided Personnel, such Provided Personnel will no longer be subject to the direction by MLP GP of the Provided Personnel’s day-to-day activities. The Parties acknowledge that certain of the Provided Personnel may also provide services to Cheniere Energy, Inc. and its Affiliates in connection with their respective operations, including other services provided to MLP GP and its Affiliates (“Shared Provided Personnel”), and the Parties intend that such Shared Provided Personnel shall only be seconded to MLP GP during those times that the Shared Provided Personnel are performing Services for MLP GP hereunder.

3.3	Withdrawal, Departure or Resignation.

O&M will use reasonable efforts to prevent any early withdrawal, departure or resignation of any Provided Personnel prior to the End Date for such Provided Personnel’s Period of Secondment. If any Provided Personnel tenders his resignation to O&M as its employee, O&M will promptly notify MLP GP. During the Period of Secondment of any Provided Personnel, O&M will not voluntarily withdraw or terminate any Provided Personnel except with the written consent of MLP GP (which may be through the execution of a completed “Addition/Removal/Change of Responsibility of Provided Personnel” form, which shall be similar to the form set forth on Exhibit C hereto), such consent not to be unreasonably withheld. O&M will indemnify, defend and hold harmless MLP GP, its directors, officers and employees against all Losses arising out of or in any way connected with or related to the termination of employment of the Provided Personnel by O&M EVEN THOUGH SUCH LOSS MAY BE CAUSED BY THE NEGLIGENCE OF ONE OR MORE OF MLP GP AND ITS DIRECTORS, OFFICERS AND EMPLOYEES, except to the extent that such Losses arise out of or result from the sole negligence, gross negligence or willful misconduct of any of MLP GP or its directors, officers or employees. Upon the termination of employment, the Provided Personnel will cease performing Services for MLP GP.

3.4	Termination of Secondment.

MLP GP will have the right to terminate the Secondment to MLP GP of any Provided Personnel for any reason at any time. Upon the termination of any Provided Personnel’s Period of Secondment, O&M will be solely liable for any costs or expenses associated with the termination of the Secondment, except as otherwise specifically set forth in this Agreement. O&M will indemnify, defend and hold harmless MLP GP, its directors, officers and employees against all Losses arising out of or in any way connected with the termination of Secondment of the Provided Personnel by O&M EVEN THOUGH SUCH LOSS MAY BE CAUSED BY THE NEGLIGENCE OF ONE OR MORE OF MLP GP AND ITS DIRECTORS, OFFICERS AND EMPLOYEES, except to the extent that such Losses arise out of or result from the sole negligence, gross negligence or willful misconduct of any of MLP GP or its directors, officers or employees. Upon the termination of a Secondment, the Provided Personnel will cease performing Services for MLP GP.

3.5	Supervision.

During the Period of Secondment, MLP GP shall:

(a) be ultimately and fully responsible for the daily work assignments of the Provided Personnel (and with respect to Shared Provided Personnel, during those times that the Shared Provided Personnel are performing Services for MLP GP hereunder), including supervision of their the day-to-day work activities and performance consistent with the purposes stated in Section 3.1 and the job functions set forth in the Provided Personnel Schedule;

(b) set the hours of work and the holidays and vacation schedules (other than with respect to Shared Provided Personnel, as to which MLP GP and O&M shall jointly determine) for Provided Personnel; and

In the course and scope of performing any Provided Personnel job functions, the Provided Personnel will be integrated into the organization of MLP GP, will report into MLP GP’s management structure, and will be under the direct management and supervision of MLP GP employees or Provided Personnel designated by MLP GP to be responsible for the supervisory functions set forth in this Section 3.5 on behalf of MLP GP.

3.6	Provided Personnel Qualifications; Approval.

O&M will provide such suitably qualified and experienced Provided Personnel as O&M is able to make available to MLP GP, and MLP GP will have the right to approve such Provided Personnel. In the event that O&M is unable to provide suitably qualified and experienced personnel, MLP GP may hire personnel provided by a third party to provide Services.

ARTICLE 4

TERM

The term of this Agreement will commence on the Effective Date and, unless sooner terminated as provided herein, will continue for the Initial Term and each Extension Term of the O&M Agreement until the O&M Agreement is terminated pursuant to the terms thereof.

The number of arbitrators required for the arbitration hearing shall be determined in accordance with the AAA Rules.
