A-17

CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED PURSUANT TO RULE 83

Buyer may issue to Seller requests or non-material clarifications that are not inconsistent with the obligations of Seller under Appendix C (Scope of Supply & Project Schedule) which Buyer may consider necessary or helpful to Seller in the performance of Seller’s obligations under the Agreement. Seller will evaluate Buyer’s requests or clarifications within a reasonable time period and provide feedback in writing to Buyer. Xxxxxx agrees to cooperate with Buyer’s other contractors, including the EPC Contractor.

In the event any such request or clarification of Buyer is transmitted orally, Seller may require Buyer to confirm such request or clarification in writing. Seller shall notify Buyer of such requirement to confirm in writing without undue delay but in any event within seven (7) Working Days of receipt of Buyer’s verbal transmission.

Seller may only transfer or assign the Agreement or any of its rights under or interest in the Agreement (including monies that are due or monies that may be due) with the prior written consent of Buyer, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided, however, that Seller shall not need the consent of Buyer to assign or novate the Agreement to any Affiliate of Seller that is ultimately wholly owned by Xxxxx Xxxxxx Company and assign any receivables due Seller hereunder to one (1) or more Affiliates of Seller or to third parties.

A-19

CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED PURSUANT TO RULE 83

any modifications to the Agreement that are reasonably requested by the EPC Contractor, so long as such modifications do not impose any additional risk, costs, expenses or liability on Seller or Owner. In the event of a transfer or assi_gnment of the Agreement by (i) Buyer, (A) Buyer’s assignee or transferee shall have financial capabilities, directly or by virtue of credit enhancements or other financial arrangements, that are comparable or better than Buyer’s, as of the Effective Date, and (B) Buyer shall cause the credit support under Clause 7.8 to be maintained or provide Seller with replacement credit support that is reasonably acceptable to Seller and substantially similar as provided to Seller hereunder (in which case, if the conditions of Clause 4.l(i)(A) and (i)(B) are met, any credit support that was provided to Seller prior to such assignment shall be promptly returned by Seller to Buyer) and (ii) Seller, Seller shall cause the credit support under Clause 7 .9 to be maintained or provide Buyer with replacement credit support that is reasonably acceptable to Buyer and substantially similar as provided to Buyer hereunder. Any assignment, novation, transfer or other disposal in violation of this Clause 4.1 shall be null and void ab initio and shall not be binding on the Parties. For any assignment by Buyer of the Agreement either to Affiliates, EPC Contractor or any other third parties, Buyer acknowledges that Seller shall perform its standard “Know Your Customer” due diligence (which involves various compliance and financial due diligence) on the proposed assignee and the proposed assignee must satisfy the “Know Your Customer” requirements.

4.2 Subcontracting

Seller and Buyer agree that Seller may not utilize the services of any Subcontractors without obtaining Buyer’s prior written approval, which approval may not be unreasonably delayed or withheld. As of the Effective Date, Xxxxx has agreed that Seller may, subject to the remaining provisions of this Clause 4.2 and Clause 8.4, utilize the services of the Approved Subcontractors listed in Appendix G (Approved Subcontractors). Seller may only utilize the services of the Approved Subcontractors (a) that satisfy Buyer’s quality requirements and (b) in accordance with the requirements set forth in this Clause 4.2. If Seller is considering utilizing the services of any Subcontractor that is not an Approved Subcontractor, then Seller shall notify Buyer of its proposal for such Subcontractor to become an Approved Subcontractor and furnish to Buyer all information reasonably requested by Buyer with respect to the qualifications of such proposed Subcontractor. Buyer shall have the right, acting reasonably, to reject any such proposed Subcontractor, and Seller shall not enter into any subcontract with such proposed Subcontractor that is rejected by Buyer. If an Approved Subcontractor, that has been selected to provide or is providing equipment, becomes subject to bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings or is unable, in Seller’s reasonable judgment, to supply all of the relevant equipment due to capacity constraints, Seller and Buyer will collaborate to develop a list of three or fewer acceptable Subcontractors to replace or supplement such Approved Subcontractor, and shall amend Appendix G accordingly. If Buyer rejects such proposed Subcontractor and the existing Approved Subcontractors are not acceptable in Seller’s reasonable determination for price, quality or schedule reasons, then Seller shall be entitled to a Change Order for any resulting incremental increase in price or delay in the Delivery Date as a result of Buyer’s rejection of such proposed Subcontractor. Approval of any Subcontractor under this Clause 4.2 shall only be for the portion of Seller’s obligations so approved by Xxxxx. No subcontract with an Approved Subcontractor shall bind or purport to bind Buyer, but each such subcontract shall contain a provision permitting its assignment to Buyer, Owner or the Lenders upon Buyer’s or Seller’s written request.

A-20

CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED PURSUANT TO RULE 83

Seller acknowledges and agrees that Buyer shall have the right to consent to and approve the supplier of each major component of equipment comprising the Liquefaction Train System, [***] ( each a “Major Component”), and confirms the strategy to use the same Approved Subcontractor identified on Appendix G for each item, as identified by its specific Tag Number, for all Liquefaction Trains. To assist Buyer in the selection of Major Components, for each potential vendor or supplier of a Major Component, Seller agrees to provide Buyer with access to: (a) the identity of the potential vendor or supplier; (b) the delivery and schedule terms for the Major Component; ( c) in the case of the Cold Boxes and heat exchangers, the price negotiated by Seller for such Major Components; and (d) all technical and performance information for each Major Component requested by Xxxxx. To the extent a Major Component supplier is changed based on a Buyer directive and, as a result of such change in Major Component supplier, Seller incurs a documented incremental increase in the price of the Major Component or delay in the delivery of the Major Component that adversely affects the Delivery Date, Seller shall be entitled to a Change Order for an equitable adjustment in the Contract Price and the Project Schedule for the applicable Liquefaction Train System. To the extent that Seller obtains a discount or reduced purchase price from the supplier of Cold Boxes as referenced against the pricing provided by the supplier of Cold Boxes with respect to the First LTS Purchase Order, Seller agrees to pass such discount or savings on to Buyer through a reduction in the Contract Price, except to the extent such discount or reduced purchase price results from a material change in the terms and conditions between Seller and such supplier of Cold Boxes that is adverse to Seller. No such discount or material change shall result in a reduction in the quality or capability of performance of the Liquefaction Train System.

Seller further acknowledges that it shall notify Buyer before subcontracting with any Major Subcontractor (excluding for the avoidance of doubt any Approved Subcontractor) supplying materials or fabrication services in connection with the performance of this Agreement that is located in Asia. Buyer shall have the right to reject any such Major Subcontractor so long as a reasonably comparable subcontractor located outside of Asia is identified as capable of performing the relevant scope of supply, and in such event Seller shall not enter into a subcontract with the Asia-based entity. If Buyer has rejected such proposed Major Subcontractor and the comparable subcontractor located outside of Asia that was identified as capable of performing the relevant scope of supply is not acceptable, in Seller’s reasonable determination, for price, quality or schedule reasons (with Seller having validated for Buyer its determination as to such comparable subcontractor), then, unless such comparable subcontractor is an Approved Subcontractor, Seller shall be entitled to a Change Order for any resulting incremental and documented increase in the Contract Price or adjustment to the Project Schedule, in each case as a result of Xxxxx’s rejection of such proposed Major Subcontractor.

If Seller fails to deliver a Liquefaction Train or such Deliverable by its associated Delivery Date, as the Delivery Date may be extended according to a Change Order, Seller shall be obligated to pay to Buyer liquidated damages (the “Delivery Delay Liquidated Damages”) for delay in achieving the Delivery Date as from the first Day following the scheduled Delivery Date until the Day on which delivery of (i) that specific Liquefaction Train to the Delivery Point actually occurs, provided that Seller shall not be obligated to pay Delivery Delay Liquidated Damages for any Day (or part thereof) beyond [***] that is required for a Liquefaction Train to clear U.S. customs for reasons that are not attributable to Seller’s or its Subcontractors’ acts or omissions or (ii) that specific Deliverable to Buyer actually occurs.

(b) The Delivery Delay Liquidated Damages payable by Seller to Buyer for each Day of delay in delivery of a specific Deliverable to Buyer beyond the Delivery Date for such Deliverable is [***] per Day.

(d) The aggregate amount of Delivery Delay Liquidated Damages payable by Seller to Buyer for (i) each Liquefaction Train shall not exceed the applicable Delivery Delay Liquidated Damages Cap, and (ii) all Liquefaction Trains shall not exceed the Aggregate Delivery Delay Liquidated Damages Cap.

(e) Buyer shall invoice Seller for any amounts due for Delivery Delay Liquidated Damages. Payment of any Delivery Delay Liquidated Damages shall occur by Seller within [***] following the date Buyer submits to Seller an invoice therefore. Buyer and Seller agree that the amount of Delivery Delay Liquidated Damages are reasonable in light of the anticipated harm caused by the breach of duty related thereto and the difficulties of proof of loss and inconvenience or non-feasibility of obtaining any adequate remedy with respect to the actual level of damages Buyer is likely to suffer as the result of a Delivery Delay Event, and the Parties are estopped from contesting the validity or enforceability of such liquidated damages. Except as provided in Clause 28.1 and Clause 28.3, the payment of Delivery Delay Liquidated Damages during the period prior to the Delay Limit Date shall be Buyer’s sole and exclusive remedy and Seller’s sole and exclusive liability for any Delivery Delay Event. In the event the Delivery Delay Liquidated Damages provisions in the Agreement are found for any reason to be void, invalid or otherwise inoperative so as to disentitle Buyer from claiming and recovering Delivery Delay Liquidated Damages from Seller for any Delivery Delay Event, Buyer shall, in addition to the remedies set forth below in Clause 6.5, be entitled to claim against Seller and recover for damages for any Delivery Delay Event; provided that such damages shall not exceed the limitations set forth in Clause 6.4(d).

6.5 Delays – Other remedies

Notwithstanding Clause 6.2, if Seller has reached the Delay Limit Date, Buyer may by notice to Seller, at Xxxxx’s sole discretion:

(a) require Seller to agree, within [***] of Buyer’s demand, to remedy the Delivery Delay Event, within the period of time identified by Xxxxx, at Buyer’s sole discretion. If Seller fails to agree within [***] of Xxxxx’s demand, or fails to remedy the Delivery Delay Event within such agreed period(s), Buyer shall be free to exercise its rights or remedies under clause (b) hereafter; or

(b) terminate the Agreement in accordance with Clause 28.l(g) and seek to recover from Seller Buyer’s damages pursuant to Clause 28.3 (subject to the limit of liability cap in Clause 19.2) arising from the applicable Delivery Delay Event, and, upon such termination by Buyer, Seller shall deliver to Buyer the portions of the Liquefaction Train System for which Seller has received payment and which have not been delivered to the Delivery Point; provided, however, that Buyer shall not be entitled to terminate the Agreement for so long as Seller continues to pay Buyer the applicable Delivery Delay Liquidated Damages, despite the fact that the aggregate amount of Delivery Delay Liquidated Damages paid by Seller have exceeded the limitations set forth in Clause 6.4(d).

8.1 Seller Taxes; Buyer Taxes

Seller shall be responsible for and shall pay all Seller Taxes.

If Buyer requires tax residence certificates from Seller to apply an exempted or reduced tax regime, Seller shall submit the appropriate certificates, upon Xxxxx’s written request. If Buyer, under the applicable Laws of any country other than Seller’s country of incorporation, deducts or withholds Seller Taxes, Buyer shall pay additional amounts to Seller so that Seller receives the full amount of the Contract Price, as though no such Seller Taxes had been deducted or withheld.

8.2 Exemptions

If either Party benefits from any tax, fee or Duty exemption (a “Benefitted Party”) applicable to the other Party or its Subcontractors (the “Other Party”), such Benefitted Party agrees to provide the Other Party, without charge, before invoicing, or before any other relevant event, documentation acceptable to supporting the tax or customs authorities supporting the exemption, together with instructions for the Other Party on the procedure for the exemption. Pursuant to state Law, certain tax and incentive programs are available to qualifying manufacturers in certain circumstances, including the Louisiana Quality Jobs Program, Enterprise Zone Program, and the Manufacturing Machinery and Equipment sales tax exclusion (collectively, the “Rebatable Louisiana Sales and Use Tax”).

CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED PURSUANT TO RULE 83

tax and incentive consultant, in obtaining tax and incentive benefits under these and any other available programs. Such assistance may include, but is not limited to, documenting purchase transactions, providing reports and supporting documents required to be submitted to obtain the tax and incentive benefits, and acting as agent for Owner in connection with the purchase of manufacturing machinery and equipment. If the determination of the proper amount of such Rebatable Louisiana Sales and Use Tax assessed on the Seller work is dependent upon knowing the actual cost incurred by Seller or its Subcontractors for the compensation of such Seller work, that portion of the audit devoted to reviewing the actual cost incurred by Seller or its Subcontractors for such Seller work shall be performed by Buyer or Owner’s tax consultant, which shall be retained by Buyer or Owner at Owner’s sole expense. The Parties agree that (unless the amount of Rebatable Louisiana Sales and Use Tax properly payable for the Seller work is subject to audit, litigation, arbitration, subpoena or summons issued by a Governmental Authority) such tax consultant shall not disclose to Buyer or Owner the actual cost incurred by Seller or its Subcontractors for such work, but the Parties agree that such tax consultant may report to Buyer or Owner the proper Rebatable Louisiana Sales and Use Taxes properly payable under Applicable Law. No access to documents shall be granted to Buyer or Owner’s tax consultant until such tax consultant has signed a confidentiality agreement with Seller and any applicable Subcontractor with terms customary in the audit industry for audits of this kind.

8.3 No Taxes Included

The Contract Price does not include any Buyer Taxes. Therefore if any Buyer Taxes are required to be collected by Seller, such Buyer Taxes will be added to the Contract Price. For Country sales and use tax, and in other jurisdictions where applicable, Buyer may report or remit sales taxes or similar taxes directly if Buyer timely provides a direct pay or exemption certificate to Seller.

8.4 Exemptions for Steel and Aluminum Imports

Seller shall provide all reasonably requested support and assistance to Owner and Buyer related to such filings (including any joint filings by Owner and Seller or its Affiliates) or deliverables that are necessary or appropriate to request an exclusion or exemption from the remedies instituted in Presidential Proclamations Adjusting Imports of Steel Into the United States and Adjusting Imports of Aluminum Into the United States under Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962 or similar tariff measures; although Seller does not guarantee that it will achieve any particular results related to Seller’s support so provided. Such assistance may include, but is not limited to, documenting purchase transactions and providing reports and supporting documents required to be submitted to obtain the exclusion or exemption. If and to the extent the same would (to Seller’s knowledge) reasonably be expected to result in Xxxxx becoming liable hereunder for the payment of additional amounts in relation to tariffs or Duties, Seller shall consult with Buyer in good faith in relation to the selection of an alternative Approved Subcontractor not located in Asia.

Buyer and Seller agree that the amount of Performance Liquidated Damages and Performance Delay Liquidated Damages are reasonable in light of the anticipated harm caused by the breach of duty related thereto and the difficulties of proof of loss and inconvenience or non-feasibility of obtaining any adequate remedy with respect to the actual level of damages Buyer is likely to suffer in the event that Seller fails to achieve the (i) Liquefaction Train Power Demand Performance Guarantee, (ii) Liquefaction Train System Power Demand Performance Guarantee, or (iii)(A) the Liquefaction Train Performance Guarantees for a Liquefaction Train by the Guaranteed Liquefaction Train Substantial Completion Date for such Liquefaction Train or (B) the Liquefaction Train System Performance Guarantees by the Guaranteed Liquefaction Train System Substantial Completion Date, and the Parties are estopped from contesting the validity or enforceability of such liquidated damages.

In the event the Performance Liquidated Damages or Performance Delay Liquidated Damages provisions are found for any reason to be void, invalid or otherwise inoperative so as to disentitle Buyer from claiming and recovering Performance Liquidated Damages or Performance Delay Liquidated Damages from Seller, Buyer shall, in addition to the remedies set forth below in Clause 25.4, be entitled to claim against Seller and recover for damages for Seller’s failure to achieve (1) the Liquefaction Train Performance Guarantees for a Liquefaction Train by the Guaranteed Liquefaction Train Substantial Completion Date for such Liquefaction Train, (2) the Liquefaction Train System Performance Guarantees by the Guaranteed Liquefaction Train System Substantial Completion Date, (3) Liquefaction Train Power Demand Performance Guarantee or (4) Liquefaction Train System Power Demand Performance Guarantee; provided that such damages shall not exceed, in the case of Clauses (1) and (2), the Performance Delay Liquidated Damages Cap or Aggregate Performance Delay Liquidated Damages Cap, as applicable, and, in the case of Clauses (3) and (4), the Performance Liquidated Damages Cap.
