(e) All calculations of financial ratios set forth herein shall be calculated to the same number of decimal places as the relevant ratios are expressed in and shall be rounded upward if the number in the decimal place immediately following the last calculated decimal place is five or greater. For example, if the relevant ratio is to be calculated to the hundredth decimal place and the calculation of the ratio is 5.126, the ratio will be rounded up to 5.13.

(f) As used herein and in the other Loan Documents, references to agreements or other Contractual Obligations shall, unless otherwise specified, be deemed to refer to such agreements or Contractual Obligations as amended, restated, replaced, refinanced, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time.

1.3 Timing of Payment or Performance. When the payment of any obligation or the performance of any covenant, duty or obligation is stated to be due or performance required on a day which is not a Business Day, the date of such payment (other than as described in the definition of “Interest Period” and in the definition of “Maturity Date”) or performance shall extend to the immediately succeeding Business Day.

1.4 Currency Equivalents Generally.

(a) For purposes of determining compliance with Sections 6.2, 6.3 and 6.8 with respect to any amount of Indebtedness or Investment in a currency other than Dollars, no Default or Event of Default shall be deemed to have occurred solely as a result of changes in rates of currency exchange occurring after the time such Indebtedness or Investment is incurred (so long as such Indebtedness or Investment, at the time incurred, made or acquired, was permitted hereunder).

(b) For purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, where the permissibility of a transaction or determination of required actions or circumstances depend upon compliance with, or are determined by reference to, amounts stated in Dollars, any requisite currency translation shall be based on the exchange rate in effect on the Business Day immediately preceding the date of such transaction (subject to the following proviso) or determination and shall not be affected by subsequent fluctuations in exchange rates; provided that for purposes of determining the Total Debt Leverage Ratio or Total Secured Debt Leverage Ratio, amounts denominated in a currency other than Dollars will be converted to Dollars at the currency exchange rates used in preparing the financial statements corresponding to the Test Period with respect to the applicable date of determination.

Section 2. LOANS

2.1 Term Loans.

(a) Loan Commitments. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, each Lender severally agrees to make, from time to time during the period from and including the Closing Date to but not including the earlier of (i) the Plant Completion Date and (ii) the second anniversary of the Closing Date, Term Loans to the Borrower in an aggregate amount up to but not exceeding such Lender’s Commitment. The Borrower may not borrow Term Loans on the Closing Date in an amount in excess of the Initial Equity Contribution. The Borrower may not borrow Term Loans on any Credit Date occurring prior to the Plant Encumbrance Date if such borrowing would cause (after giving effect to such borrowing) the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loans outstanding on such Credit Date to exceed the Initial Equity Contribution. The Borrower may not borrow Term Loans on any Credit Date until the date that the Aggregate Equity Contribution exceeds $24,300,000 (the “Equity Fulfillment Condition”) if such borrowing would cause (after giving effect to such borrowing) the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loans outstanding to exceed the Aggregate Equity Contribution. Upon and after the satisfaction of the Equity Fulfillment Condition, the Borrower may borrow the then remaining Commitments. Any amount borrowed under this Section 2.1(a) and subsequently repaid or prepaid may not be reborrowed. Subject to Sections 2.13, 2.14(a) and 2.15, all amounts owed hereunder shall be paid in full no later than the Maturity Date. On each Credit Date (including the Closing Date), each Lender’s Commitment shall be reduced immediately and without further action in the amount of the Term Loans made on such Credit Date. Each Lender’s Commitment to make additional Term Loans shall terminate immediately and without further action on the earlier of (i) the Plant Completion Date and (ii) the second anniversary of the Closing Date to the extent such Commitment is unused or not otherwise terminated prior to such date.

(b) Borrowing Mechanics for Term Loans.

(i) With respect to each Term Loan requested by the Borrower, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a fully executed Funding Notice no later than 3:00 p.m. (New York City time) (x) at least one Business Day prior to the proposed Credit Date with respect to Base Rate Loans and (y) at least three days prior to the proposed Credit Date with respect to Eurodollar Rate Loans (or, with respect to a Term Loan requested to be made on the Closing Date, such shorter period as may be acceptable to the Lenders on the Closing Date). Promptly upon receipt by the Administrative Agent of such Funding Notice, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the proposed borrowing.

(ii) Each Lender shall make its Pro Rata Share of the Term Loans requested to be made on any Credit Date available to the Administrative Agent not later than 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on such Credit Date, by wire transfer of same day funds in Dollars, at the principal office designated by Administrative Agent. Upon satisfaction or waiver of the conditions precedent specified herein and subject to any required funding of the Debt Service Reserve Account with the proceeds of any Term Loans pursuant to the Depositary Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall make the proceeds of the Term Loans available to the Borrower on the requested Credit Date by causing an amount of same day funds in Dollars equal to the proceeds of all such Term Loans received by the Administrative Agent from Lenders to be credited to the account of the Borrower at the Principal Office designated by the Administrative Agent or to such other account as may be designated in writing to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower.

2.2 [Reserved].

2.3 [Reserved].

2.4 [Reserved].

2.5 [Reserved].

2.6 Pro Rata Shares; Availability of Funds.

(a) Pro Rata Shares. All Term Loans shall be made, and all participations purchased, by Lenders simultaneously and proportionately to their respective Pro Rata Shares, it being understood that no Lender shall be responsible for any default by any other Lender in such other Lender’s obligation to make a Term Loan requested hereunder nor shall any Commitment of any Lender be increased or decreased as a result of a default by any other Lender in such other Lender’s obligation to make a Term Loan requested hereunder.

(b) Availability of Funds. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by any Lender prior to the applicable Credit Date that such Lender does not intend to make available to the Administrative Agent the amount of such Lender’s Term Loan requested on such Credit Date, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such amount available to the Administrative Agent on such Credit Date and the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, but shall not be obligated to, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount on such Credit Date. If such corresponding amount is not in fact made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such corresponding amount on demand from such Lender, together with interest thereon, for each day from such Credit Date until the date such amount is paid to the Administrative Agent, at the customary rate set by the Administrative Agent for the correction of errors among banks for three Business Days and thereafter at the Base Rate. If such Lender does not pay such corresponding amount forthwith upon the Administrative Agent’s demand therefor, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Borrower shall immediately pay such corresponding amount to the Administrative Agent together with interest thereon, for each day from such Credit Date until the date such amount is paid to the Administrative Agent, at the rate payable hereunder for Base Rate Loans. Nothing in this Section 2.6(b) shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its Commitments hereunder or to prejudice any rights that the Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder. In the event that (i) the Administrative Agent declines to make a requested amount available to the Borrower until such time as all Lenders have made payment to the Administrative Agent, (ii) a Lender fails to fund to the Administrative Agent all or any portion of the Term Loans required to be funded by such Lender hereunder prior to the time specified in this Agreement and (iii) such Lender’s failure results in the Administrative Agent failing to make a corresponding amount available to the Borrower on the applicable Credit Date, then, at the Administrative Agent’s option, such Lender shall not receive interest hereunder with respect to the requested amount of such Lender’s Term Loans for the period commencing with the time specified in this Agreement for receipt of payment by the Borrower through and including the time of the Borrower’s receipt of the requested amount.

2.7 Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of the Term Loans requested to be made on any Credit Date shall be applied by the Borrower to (a) pay fees and expenses incurred in connection with the Term Loan Facility, (b) directly fund the Debt Service Reserve Account to the extent required under the Depositary Agreement, and (c) fund construction costs consistent with the Budget, other costs related to the Plant and working capital with respect to and/or related to the Plant.

2.8 Evidence of Debt; Register; Lenders’ Books and Records; Notes.

(a) Lenders’ Evidence of Debt. Each Lender shall maintain on its internal records an account or accounts evidencing the Borrower Obligations to such Lender, including the amounts of the Term Loans made by it and each repayment and prepayment in respect thereof. Any such recordation shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower, absent manifest error; provided that the failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation, shall not affect any Lender’s Commitments or the Borrower Obligations in respect of any Term Loan; and provided, further, that in the event of any inconsistency between the Register and any Lender’s records, the recordations in the Register shall govern.

(b) Register. The Administrative Agent (or its agent or sub-agent appointed by it) shall maintain at its Principal Office a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of Lenders and the Commitments and Term Loans (and related interest and fee amounts) of each Lender from time to time (the “Register”). The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower or any Lender (with respect to (i) any entry relating to such Lender’s Commitments and Term Loans or (ii) the identity of the other Lenders (but not any information with respect to such other Lenders’ Commitments and Term Loans except upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default)) at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. The Administrative Agent shall record, or shall cause to be recorded, in the Register the Commitments and the Term Loans (and related interest amounts), as well as any assignments thereof, in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.6, and each repayment or prepayment in respect of the principal amount (and related interest and fee amounts) of the Term Loans, and any such recordation shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower and each Lender, absent manifest error; provided that any failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation, shall not affect any Lender’s Commitments or the Borrower Obligations in respect of any Term Loan. The Borrower hereby designates the Administrative Agent to serve as the Borrower’s agent solely for purposes of maintaining the Register as provided in this Section 2.8. The parties hereto shall treat each Person listed in the Register as the owner of the applicable Term Loan, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. This Section 2.8(b) is intended to establish a “book entry system” within the meaning of Treasury regulation Section 5f.103-1(c)(1)(ii) and shall be interpreted consistently with such intent.

(c) Notes. If so requested by any Lender by written notice to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) at least two Business Days prior to the Closing Date, or at any time thereafter, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender (and/or, if applicable and if so specified in such notice, to any Person who is an Assignee of such Lender pursuant to Section 9.6) on the Closing Date (or, if such notice is delivered after the Closing Date, promptly after the Borrower’s receipt of such notice) a Term Loan Note to evidence such Lender’s Term Loan.

2.9 Interest on Term Loans.

(a) Except as otherwise set forth herein, each Term Loan shall bear interest on the unpaid principal amount thereof from the date made through repayment (whether by acceleration or otherwise) thereof as follows:

(i) if a Base Rate Loan, at the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin; or

(ii) if a Eurodollar Rate Loan, at the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate plus the Applicable Margin.

(b) The basis for determining the rate of interest with respect to any Term Loan, and the Interest Period with respect to any Eurodollar Rate Loan, shall be selected by the Borrower and notified to Administrative Agent and Lenders pursuant to the applicable Funding Notice or Conversion/Continuation Notice, as the case may be.

(c) In connection with Eurodollar Rate Loans there shall be no more than ten (10) Interest Periods outstanding at any time. In the event the Borrower fails to specify between a Base Rate Loan or a Eurodollar Rate Loan in the applicable Funding Notice or Conversion/Continuation Notice, such Term Loan (if outstanding as a Eurodollar Rate Loan) will be automatically converted into a Base Rate Loan on the last day of the then current Interest Period for such Term Loan (or if outstanding as a Base Rate Loan will remain as, or (if not then outstanding) will be made as, a Base Rate Loan). In the event the Borrower fails to specify an Interest Period for any Eurodollar Rate Loan in the applicable Funding Notice or Conversion/Continuation Notice, the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month. As soon as practicable after 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on each Interest Rate Determination Date, the Administrative Agent shall determine (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final, conclusive and binding upon all parties) the interest rate that shall apply to the Eurodollar Rate Loans for which an interest rate is then being determined for the applicable Interest Period and shall promptly give notice thereof (in writing or by telephone confirmed in writing) to the Borrower and each Lender.

(d) Interest payable pursuant to Section 2.9(a) shall be computed (i) in the case of Base Rate Loans on the basis of a 365 day or 366 day year, as the case may be, and (ii) in the case of Eurodollar Rate Loans, on the basis of a 360 day year, in each case for the actual number of days elapsed in the period during which it accrues. In computing interest on any Term Loan, the date of the making of such Term Loan or the first day of an Interest Period applicable to such Term Loan or the last Interest Payment Date with respect to such Term Loan or, with respect to a Base Rate Loan being converted from a Eurodollar Rate Loan, the date of conversion of such Eurodollar Rate Loan to such Base Rate Loan, as the case may be, shall be included, and the date of payment of such Term Loan or the expiration date of an Interest Period applicable to such Term Loan or, with respect to a Base Rate Loan being converted to a Eurodollar Rate Loan, the date of conversion of such Base Rate Loan to such Eurodollar Rate Loan, as the case may be, shall be excluded; provided that if a Term Loan is repaid on the same day on which it is made, one day’s interest shall be paid on that Term Loan.

(e) Except as otherwise set forth herein, interest on each Term Loan (i) shall accrue on a daily basis and shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date with respect to interest accrued on and to each such payment date; (ii) shall accrue on a daily basis and shall be payable in arrears upon any prepayment of that Term Loan, whether voluntary or mandatory, to the extent accrued on the amount being prepaid; and (iii) shall accrue on a daily basis and shall be payable in arrears at maturity of the Term Loans, including final maturity of the Term Loans.

2.10 Conversion/Continuation.

(a) Subject to Section 2.19 and so long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and then be continuing, the Borrower shall have the option:

(i) to convert at any time all or any part of any Term Loan equal to $1,000,000 and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess of that amount from one Type of Term Loan to another Type of Term Loan; provided that a Eurodollar Rate Loan may only be converted on the expiration of the Interest Period applicable to such Eurodollar Rate Loan unless the Borrower shall pay all amounts due under Section 2.19 in connection with any such conversion; or

(ii) upon the expiration of any Interest Period applicable to any Eurodollar Rate Loan, to continue all or any portion of such Term Loan equal to $1,000,000 and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess of that amount as a Eurodollar Rate Loan.

(b) Subject to clause (c) below, the Borrower shall deliver a Conversion/Continuation Notice to the Administrative Agent no later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) at least one Business Day in advance of the proposed conversion date (in the case of a conversion to a Base Rate Loan) and at least three Business Days in advance of the proposed conversion/continuation date (in the case of a conversion to, or a continuation of, a Eurodollar Rate Loan). Except as otherwise provided herein, a Conversion/Continuation Notice for conversion to, or continuation of, any Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be irrevocable on and after the related Interest Rate Determination Date, and the Borrower shall be bound to effect a conversion or continuation in accordance therewith. If on any day a Term Loan is outstanding with respect to which a Funding Notice or Conversion/Continuation Notice has not been delivered to the Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms hereof specifying the applicable basis for determining the rate of interest, then for that day such Term Loan shall be a Base Rate Loan.

(c) Any Conversion/Continuation Notice shall be executed by a Responsible Officer in a writing delivered to the Administrative Agent. In lieu of delivering a Conversion/Continuation Notice, the Borrower may give the Administrative Agent telephonic notice by the required time of such proposed conversion or continuation, as the case may be; provided that each such notice shall be promptly confirmed in writing by delivery of the applicable Conversion/Continuation Notice to the Administrative Agent on or before 5:00 pm (New York City time) on the Business Day that the telephonic notice is given. In the event of a discrepancy between the telephone notice and the written Conversion/Continuation Notice, the written Conversion/Continuation Notice shall govern. In the case of any Conversion/Continuation Notice that is irrevocable once given, if the Borrower provides telephonic notice in lieu thereof, such telephone notice shall also be irrevocable once given. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall incur any liability to the Borrower in acting upon any telephonic notice referred to above that the Administrative Agent believes in good faith to have been given by a duly authorized officer or other person authorized on behalf of the Borrower or for otherwise acting in good faith.

2.11 Default Interest. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default under Section 7.1(a) or Section 7.1(f), the overdue principal amount of all Term Loans outstanding and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any overdue interest payments on the Term Loans or any overdue fees or other amounts owed hereunder shall bear interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under Debtor Relief Laws) payable on demand at a rate that is 2% per annum in excess of the interest rate otherwise payable hereunder with respect to the applicable Term Loans. Payment or acceptance of the increased rates of interest provided for in this Section 2.11 is not a permitted alternative to timely payment and shall not constitute a waiver of any Event of Default or otherwise prejudice or limit any rights or remedies of the Administrative Agent or any Lender.

2.12 Fees.

(a) The Borrower agrees to pay to Lenders undrawn commitment fees (“Undrawn Commitment Fees”) equal to (i) the average of the daily difference between the Commitments and the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Term Loans (such difference, the “Undrawn Amount”), times (ii) 25% of the Applicable Margin then applicable to Eurodollar Rate Loans. Such Undrawn Commitment Fees shall be paid to the Administrative Agent at its Principal Office and upon receipt, the Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute to each Lender its Pro Rata Share thereof. Such Undrawn Commitment Fees shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year and the actual number of days elapsed and shall be paid in arrears on the last Business Day of March, June, September and December of each year and on the date of any termination of Commitments pursuant to Section 2.14(c), such payment commencing on December 31, 2014 (but accruing beginning on the Closing Date).

(b) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of MSSF and Credit Suisse, out of the proceeds of the initial Term Loans made by the Lenders on the Closing Date, an underwriting fee in an amount equal to 2.00% of the stated principal amount of the aggregate Commitments immediately prior to the funding of the initial Term Loans, payable to the Administrative Agent from the proceeds of the initial Term Loans as and when funded on the Closing Date. Such underwriting fee will be in all respects fully earned, due and payable on the Closing Date and non-refundable and non-creditable thereafter.

(c) In addition to any of the foregoing fees, the Borrower agrees to pay to the Arranger, any Lender and the Administrative Agent such other fees in the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon.

2.13 Scheduled Payments. The outstanding principal amounts of the Term Loans shall be repaid in consecutive quarterly installments (each such payment, together with the payment required to be made on the Maturity Date, an “Installment”) on the last Business Day of March, June, September and December of each year, commencing on March 31, 2015, in equal quarterly amounts of 1.00% per annum of the principal amount of the Term Loans outstanding on March 31, 2015; provided that such quarterly amounts shall be adjusted by the Administrative Agent after each making of a Term Loan to maintain and reflect a 1.00% per annum scheduled amortization and/or to maintain fungibility among the Term Loans. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (x) such Installments shall be reduced in connection with any voluntary or mandatory prepayments of the Term Loans in accordance with Sections 2.14, 2.15 and 2.16, as applicable; and (y) the Term Loans, together with all other amounts owed hereunder with respect thereto, shall, in any event, be paid in full no later than the Maturity Date.

2.14 Voluntary Prepayments/Commitment Reductions.

(a) Voluntary Prepayments of Term Loans.

(i) Any time and from time to time (and subject to Section 2.14(b)):

(1) with respect to Base Rate Loans, the Borrower may prepay any such Term Loans on any Business Day in whole, or in part in an aggregate minimum amount of $1,000,000 and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess of that amount; and

(2) with respect to Eurodollar Rate Loans, the Borrower may prepay any such Term Loans on any Business Day in whole, or in part in an aggregate minimum amount of $1,000,000 and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess of that amount.

(ii) All such prepayments shall be made:

(1) upon written or telephonic notice on the date of prepayment, in the case of Base Rate Loans; and

(2) upon not less than two Business Days’ prior written or telephonic notice in the case of Eurodollar Rate Loans;

in each case given to the Administrative Agent by 3:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date required and, if given by telephone, promptly confirmed by delivery of written notice thereof to the Administrative Agent (and the Administrative Agent will promptly transmit such original notice for Term Loans by telefacsimile or telephone to each applicable Lender). Upon the giving of any such notice, the principal amount of the Term Loans specified in such notice shall become due and payable on the prepayment date specified therein; provided that a notice of voluntary prepayment may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities, the receipt of proceeds from the issuance of other Indebtedness or the Disposition of assets or the closing of a merger or acquisition transaction, in which case such notice of prepayment may be revoked or extended by the Borrower (by written notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified date) if such condition is not satisfied or delayed in effectiveness. Any such voluntary prepayment shall be applied as specified in Section 2.16(a).

(b) Prepayment Premium. If, on or prior to the first anniversary of the Closing Date, any Term Loans are voluntarily prepaid pursuant to this Section 2.14 or mandatorily prepaid pursuant to Section 2.15(c)(i), such prepayments shall be made at 101% of the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loans so prepaid. Any repricing amendment in respect of the Term Loans shall be deemed a voluntary prepayment for purposes of the previous sentence, and such prepayment premium shall accrue for the benefit of each Lender prior to giving effect to such amendment.

(i) The Borrower may, upon not less than three Business Days’ prior written or telephonic notice promptly confirmed by delivery of written notice thereof to the Administrative Agent (which original written notice Administrative Agent will promptly transmit by telefacsimile or telephone to each Lender), at any time and from time to time terminate in whole or permanently reduce in part, without premium or penalty, the Commitments; provided that any such partial reduction of the Commitments shall in each case be in an aggregate minimum amount of $1,000,000 and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess of that amount.

(ii) The Borrower’s notice to the Administrative Agent shall designate the date (which shall be a Business Day) of such termination or reduction and the amount of any partial reduction, and such termination or reduction of the Commitments shall be effective on the date specified in the Borrower’s notice and shall reduce the Commitment of each Lender proportionately to its Pro Rata Share thereof; provided that a notice of termination or partial reduction of the Commitments may state that such notice is conditional upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities, the receipt of proceeds from the issuance of other Indebtedness or the Disposition of assets or the closing of a merger or acquisition transaction, in which case such notice of termination or partial reduction may be revoked or extended by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified date) if such condition is not satisfied or delayed in effectiveness. All Undrawn Commitment Fees in respect of the Commitments accrued until the effective date of any termination of the Commitments shall be paid on the effective date of such termination.

2.15 Mandatory Prepayments.

(a) Net Cash Proceeds from Asset Sales. No later than the tenth Business Day following the date of receipt by any LNG Group Member of any Net Cash Proceeds from any Asset Sale, the Borrower shall prepay the Term Loans as set forth in Section 2.16(b) in an aggregate amount equal to such Net Cash Proceeds; provided that so long as no Event of Default under Section 7.1(a) or (f) shall have occurred and be continuing at the time such Net Cash Proceeds from Asset Sales are received, the Borrower shall have the option, directly or through one or more of its Subsidiaries, to reinvest such Net Cash Proceeds within 180 days of receipt thereof in assets useful in the business of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries or to enter into a binding commitment to acquire such assets within 180 days of receipt thereof so long as such assets are actually acquired within 360 days of receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds; provided, further, that any Net Cash Proceeds not so reinvested shall be applied to the prepayment of the Term Loans as set forth in this Section 2.15(a) at the end of such reinvestment period; provided, further, that no such Net Cash Proceeds received in connection with any Asset Sale and not reinvested pursuant to the first or second proviso above shall be required to be used to prepay the Term Loans until the aggregate amount of all such Net Cash Proceeds received and not reinvested during the term of this Agreement shall exceed $100,000 (the “Asset Sale Threshold Amount”) (and thereafter, only Net Cash Proceeds received and not reinvested in excess of such Asset Sale Threshold Amount shall be required to be used to prepay the Term Loans as set forth in Section 2.16(b)).

(b) Net Cash Proceeds from Recovery Events.

(A) No later than the tenth Business Day following the date of receipt by any LNG Group Member of any Net Cash Proceeds from any Recovery Event, the Borrower shall prepay the Term Loans as set forth in Section 2.16(b) in an aggregate amount equal to such Net Cash Proceeds; provided, (I) in the case of any Recovery Event other than a material Recovery Event relating to the Plant, so long as no Event of Default under Section 7.1(a) or (f) shall have occurred and be continuing, the Borrower shall have the option, directly or through one or more of its Subsidiaries, to reinvest such Net Cash Proceeds within 180 days of receipt thereof in assets useful in the business of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries (or to use such Net Cash Proceeds to replace assets damaged or destroyed in connection with the property or casualty insurance claim or condemnation proceeding that is the basis for such Recovery Event) or to enter into a binding commitment to acquire such assets within 180 days of receipt thereof so long as such assets are actually acquired within 360 days of receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds; provided further, that any Net Cash Proceeds not so reinvested shall be applied to the prepayment of the Term Loans as set forth in this Section 2.15(b) at the end of such reinvestment period; and (II) in the case of any material Recovery Event relating to the Plant, the Borrower shall prepay the Term Loans as set forth in Section 2.16(b) in an aggregate amount equal to such Net Cash Proceeds, unless each of the following conditions are satisfied or waived by the Required Consent Parties, within 90 Business Days after any Loan Party’s receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds, in which event such amounts shall be permitted to be applied to the repair or restoration of the Plant:

(i) the Borrower certifies in writing that the damage or destruction or Casual-ty Event giving rise to such Recovery Event does not constitute the destruction of all or substantially all of the Plant;

(ii) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under at the time of receipt of such Net Cash Proceeds, and after giving effect to any proposed repair and resto-ration, no Event of Default would reasonably be expected to be continuing after giving effect to the proposed repair and restoration;

(iii) the Borrower certifies in writing that repair or restoration of the Plant to a condition substantially similar to the condition of the Plant immediately prior to the dam-age or destruction or Casualty Event to which the relevant Recovery Event relates, is technically and economically feasible within a 12-month period after receipt of any such Net Cash Proceeds, and that a sufficient amount of funds is or will be available to the Borrower to make such repairs and restorations;

(iv) the Borrower delivers to the Administrative Agent a plan describing in reasonable detail the nature of the repairs or restoration to be effected and the anticipated costs and schedule associated therewith (the “Repair Plan”), and the Administrative Agent, in the exercise of its reasonable judgment, acknowledges in writing that the Repair Plan is achievable;

(v) the Debt Service Reserve Account shall be funded with such Net Cash Proceeds in an amount equal to the DSRA Shortfall (as defined in the Depositary Agree-ment) resulting from the extension to the expected Plant Completion Date resulting from the damage, destruction or Casualty Event giving rise to such Recovery Event;

(vi) the Borrower reasonably expects it or the appropriate Loan Party to obtain any Permit necessary to proceed with the repair and restoration of the Plant; and

(vii) the Borrower agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such additional title insurance, endorsements, mechanic’s lien waivers or other documents as may reasonably be requested by the Administrative Agent as necessary or appropriate in connection with such repairs or restoration of the Plant or to preserve or protect the Lenders’ interests hereunder and in the applicable Collateral.

(i) Subject to Section 2.14(b), no later than the first Business Day following the date of receipt by any LNG Group Member of any Net Cash Proceeds from the incurrence by any LNG Group Member of any Indebtedness (other than with respect to any Indebtedness permitted to be incurred pursuant to Section 6.2), the Borrower shall prepay the Term Loans as set forth in Section 2.16(b) in an aggregate amount equal to 100% of such Net Cash Proceeds.

(ii) No later than the fifth Business Day following the date of receipt by any LNG Group Member of any Net Cash Proceeds from the incurrence of any Indebtedness pursuant to Section 6.2(u) in excess of $10,000,000 in the aggregate, the Borrower shall prepay the Term Loans as set forth in Section 2.16(b) in an aggregate amount equal to 100% of such Net Cash Proceeds in excess of $10,000,000 in the aggregate.

(d) Consolidated Excess Cash Flow. If, as of any Excess Cash Flow Determination Date, the Excess Cash Flow Prepayment Amount exceeds $0, then within ten (10) Business Days after the date the financial statements for the second fiscal quarter after each fiscal year ended on any Excess Cash Flow Determination Date are required to be delivered pursuant to Section 5.1(b), the Borrower shall prepay the Term Loans as set forth in Section 2.16(b) in an amount equal to (i) 100% of the Excess Cash Flow Prepayment Amount, minus (ii) voluntary prepayments of Term Loans made during such fiscal year, and amounts paid by the Borrower in connection with any Borrower Loan Purchase during such fiscal year, in each case in this clause (ii) except to the extent funded with any Financing Proceeds.

(e) [Reserved].

(f) Prepayment Certificate. Concurrently with any prepayment of the Term Loans pursuant to Sections 2.15(a) through 2.15(d), the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent for distribution to the Lenders a certificate of a Responsible Officer of the Borrower demonstrating the calculation of the amount of the applicable Net Cash Proceeds or Excess Cash Flow Prepayment Amount, as the case may be. In the event that the Borrower shall subsequently determine that the actual amount required to be prepaid exceeded the amount set forth in such certificate, the Borrower shall promptly make an additional prepayment of the Term Loans in an amount equal to such excess, and the Borrower shall concurrently therewith deliver to the Administrative Agent for distribution to the Lenders a certificate of a Responsible Officer of the Borrower demonstrating the derivation of such excess.

2.16 Application of Prepayments/Reductions.

(a) Application of Voluntary Prepayments. Any prepayment of any Term Loan pursuant to Section 2.14(a) shall be applied as specified by the Borrower in the applicable notice of prepayment; provided that in the event the Borrower fails to specify the Term Loans to which any such prepayment shall be applied, such prepayment shall be applied to prepay the Term Loans in direct order of maturity of the scheduled remaining Installments of principal of the Term Loans.

(b) Application of Mandatory Prepayments. Any amount required to be used to prepay the Term Loans pursuant to Sections 2.15(a) through 2.15(d) shall be applied as specified by the Borrower in the applicable notice of prepayment; provided that in the event the Borrower fails to specify the Term Loans to which any such prepayment shall be applied, such prepayment shall be applied to prepay the Term Loans in direct order of maturity of the scheduled remaining Installments of principal of the Term Loans.

(c) Waivable Mandatory Prepayment. Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, so long as any Term Loans are outstanding, in the event the Borrower is required to make any mandatory prepayment (a “Waivable Mandatory Prepayment”) of the Term Loans, not less than five Business Days prior to the date (the “Required Prepayment Date”) on which the Borrower is required to make such Waivable Mandatory Prepayment, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of the amount of such prepayment, and the Administrative Agent will promptly thereafter notify each Lender holding an outstanding Term Loan of the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such Waivable Mandatory Prepayment and such Lender’s option to refuse such amount. Each such Lender may exercise such option to refuse its Pro Rata Share of such Waivable Mandatory Prepayment (such refused amount of all such Lenders, the “Refused Proceeds”) by giving written notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of its election to do so on or before the third Business Day prior to the Required Prepayment Date (it being understood that any Lender which does not notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of its election to exercise such option on or before the third Business Day prior to the Required Prepayment Date shall be deemed to have elected, as of such date, not to exercise such option). On the Required Prepayment Date, the Borrower shall (i) pay to the Administrative Agent the amount of the Waivable Mandatory Prepayment, less the Refused Proceeds, which such remaining amount shall be applied to prepay the Term Loans of those Lenders that have elected not to exercise such option (which prepayment shall be applied to the scheduled Installments of principal of the Term Loans in accordance with Section 2.16(b)), and (ii) retain any Refused Proceeds or use such Refused Proceeds for any other purpose permitted hereunder.

(d) Application of Prepayments of Term Loans to Base Rate Loans and Eurodollar Rate Loans. Any prepayment of Term Loans shall be applied first to Base Rate Loans to the full extent thereof before application to Eurodollar Rate Loans, in each case in a manner which minimizes the amount of any payments required to be made by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.19(c).

2.17 General Provisions Regarding Payments.

(a) All payments by the Borrower of principal, interest, fees and other Obligations shall be made in Dollars in same day funds, without defense, recoupment, setoff or counterclaim, free of any restriction or condition, and delivered to the Administrative Agent not later than 3:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date due at the Principal Office of the Administrative Agent for the account of Lenders; for purposes of computing interest and fees, funds received by the Administrative Agent after that time on such due date shall be deemed to have been paid by the Borrower on the next succeeding Business Day.

(b) All payments in respect of the principal amount of any Term Loan shall be accompanied by payment of accrued interest on the principal amount being repaid or prepaid, and all such payments (and, in any event, any payments in respect of any Term Loan on a date when interest is due and payable with respect to such Term Loan) shall be applied to the payment of interest then due and payable before application to principal.

(c) The Administrative Agent (or its agent or sub-agent appointed by it) shall promptly distribute to each Lender at such address as such Lender shall indicate in writing, such Lender’s applicable Pro Rata Share of all payments and prepayments of principal and interest due hereunder, together with all other amounts due related thereto, including all fees payable with respect thereto, to the extent received by the Administrative Agent.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions hereof, if any Conversion/Continuation Notice is withdrawn as to any Affected Lender or if any Affected Lender makes Base Rate Loans in lieu of its Pro Rata Share of any Eurodollar Rate Loans, the Administrative Agent shall give effect thereto in apportioning payments received thereafter.

(e) Whenever any payment to be made hereunder with respect to any Term Loan shall be stated to be due on a day that is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day.

(f) The Administrative Agent shall deem any payment by or on behalf of the Borrower hereunder that is not made in same day funds prior to 3:00 p.m. (New York City time) (unless a later time is otherwise specified herein with respect to such payment) to be a nonconforming payment. Any such payment shall not be deemed to have been received by the Administrative Agent until the later of (i) the time such funds become available funds, and (ii) the applicable next Business Day. The Administrative Agent shall give prompt telephonic notice to the Borrower and each Lender (confirmed in writing) if any payment is non-conforming. Any non-conforming payment may constitute or become a Default or Event of Default in accordance with the terms of Section 7.1(a). Interest shall continue to accrue on any principal as to which a non-conforming payment is made until such funds become available funds (but in no event less than the period from the date of such payment to the next succeeding applicable Business Day) at the rate determined pursuant to Section 2.11, if applicable, from the date such amount was due and payable until the date such amount is paid in full.

2.18 Ratable Sharing. The Lenders hereby agree among themselves that if any of them shall, whether by voluntary payment (other than a voluntary prepayment of Term Loans made and applied in accordance with the terms hereof), through the exercise of any right of set off or banker’s lien, or by counterclaim or cross action or by the enforcement of any right under the Loan Documents or otherwise, or as adequate protection of a deposit treated as cash collateral under Debtor Relief Laws, receive payment or reduction of a proportion of the aggregate amount of principal, interest, fees and other amounts then due and owing to such Lender hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (collectively, the “Aggregate Amounts Due” to such Lender) which is greater than the proportion received by any other Lender in respect of the Aggregate Amounts Due to such other Lender, then the Lender receiving such proportionately greater payment shall (a) notify the Administrative Agent and each other Lender of the receipt of such payment and (b) apply a portion of such payment to purchase participations (which it shall be deemed to have purchased from each seller of a participation simultaneously upon the receipt by such seller of its portion of such payment) in the Aggregate Amounts Due to the other Lenders so that all such recoveries of Aggregate Amounts Due shall be shared by all Lenders in proportion to the Aggregate Amounts Due to them; provided, if all or part of such proportionately greater payment received by such purchasing Lender is thereafter recovered from such Lender upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of the Borrower or otherwise, those purchases shall be rescinded and the purchase prices paid for such participations shall be returned to such purchasing Lender ratably to the extent of such recovery, but without interest. The Borrower expressly consents to the foregoing arrangement and agrees that any holder of a participation so purchased may exercise any and all rights of banker’s lien, consolidation, set off or counterclaim with respect to any and all monies owing by the Borrower to that holder with respect thereto as fully as if that holder were owed the amount of the participation held by that holder. The provisions of this Section 2.18 shall not be construed to apply to (a) any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement as in effect from time to time (including the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender) or (b) any payment obtained by any Lender as consideration for the assignment or sale of a participation in any of its Term Loans or other Obligations owed to it. For purposes of clause (a)(iii) of Section 2.21, a Lender that acquires a participation pursuant to this Section 2.18 shall be treated as having acquired such participation on the earlier date on which such Lender acquired the applicable interest in the Term Loan to which such participation relates.

2.19 Making or Maintaining Eurodollar Rate Loans.

(a) Inability to Determine Applicable Interest Rate. In the event that the Required Lenders shall have reasonably determined (which determination shall be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto but shall be made only after consultation with the Borrower and the Administrative Agent) on any Interest Rate Determination Date with respect to any Eurodollar Rate Loans, that by reason of circumstances affecting the London interbank market adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the interest rate applicable to such Term Loans on the basis provided for in the definition of “Adjusted Eurodollar Rate,” the Administrative Agent shall on such date give notice (by telefacsimile or by telephone confirmed in writing) to the Borrower and each Lender of such determination, whereupon (i) no Term Loans may be made as, or converted to, Eurodollar Rate Loans until such time as the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, and (ii) any Funding Notice or Conversion/Continuation Notice given by the Borrower with respect to the Term Loans in respect of which such determination was made shall be deemed to be rescinded by the Borrower.

(b) Illegality or Impracticability of Eurodollar Rate Loans. In the event that on any date (i) any Lender shall have reasonably determined (which determination shall be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto but shall be made only after consultation with the Borrower and the Administrative Agent) that the making, maintaining, converting to or continuation of its Eurodollar Rate Loans has become unlawful as a result of compliance by such Lender in good faith with any law, treaty, governmental rule, regulation, guideline or order (or would conflict with any such treaty, governmental rule, regulation, guideline or order not having the force of law even though the failure to comply therewith would not be unlawful), or (ii) the Administrative Agent is advised by the Required Lenders (which determination shall be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto) that the making, maintaining, converting to or continuation of its Eurodollar Rate Loans has become impracticable, as a result of contingencies occurring after the date hereof which materially and adversely affect the London interbank market or the position of the Lenders in that market, then, and in any such event, such Lenders (or in the case of the preceding clause (i), such Lender) shall be an “Affected Lender” and such Affected Lender shall on that day give notice (by e-mail or by telephone confirmed in writing) to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of such determination (which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each other Lender). If the Administrative Agent receives a notice from (x) any Lender pursuant to clause (i) of the preceding sentence or (y) Lenders constituting Required Lenders pursuant to clause (ii) of the preceding sentence, then (1) the obligation of the Lenders (or, in the case of any notice pursuant to clause (i) of the preceding sentence, such Lender) to make Term Loans as, or to convert Term Loans to, Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be suspended until such notice shall be withdrawn by each Affected Lender, (2) to the extent such determination by the Affected Lender relates to a Eurodollar Rate Loan then being requested by the Borrower pursuant to a Funding Notice or a Conversion/Continuation Notice, the Lenders (or in the case of any notice pursuant to clause (i) of the preceding sentence, such Lender) shall make such Term Loan as (or continue such Term Loan as or convert such Term Loan to, as the case may be) a Base Rate Loan, (3) the Lenders’ (or in the case of any notice pursuant to clause (i) of the preceding sentence, such Lender’s) obligations to maintain their respective outstanding Eurodollar Rate Loans (the “Affected Loans”) shall be terminated at the earlier to occur of the expiration of the Interest Period then in effect with respect to the Affected Loans or when required by law, and (4) the Affected Loans shall automatically convert into Base Rate Loans on the date of such termination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent a determination by an Affected Lender as described above relates to a Eurodollar Rate Loan then being requested by the Borrower pursuant to a Funding Notice or a Conversion/Continuation Notice, the Borrower shall have the option, subject to the provisions of Section 2.19(c), to rescind such Funding Notice or Conversion/Continuation Notice as to all Lenders by giving written or telephonic notice (promptly confirmed by delivery of written notice thereof) to the Administrative Agent of such rescission on the date on which the Affected Lender gives notice of its determination as described above (which notice of rescission the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each other Lender). Except as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, nothing in this Section 2.19(b) shall affect the obligation of any Lender other than an Affected Lender to make or maintain Term Loans as, or to convert Term Loans to, Eurodollar Rate Loans in accordance with the terms hereof.

(c) Compensation for Breakage or Non-Commencement of Interest Periods. The Borrower shall compensate each Lender, upon written request by such Lender (which request shall set forth the basis for requesting such amounts in reasonable detail), for all reasonable losses, expenses and liabilities (including any interest paid or payable by such Lender to Lenders of funds borrowed by it to make or carry its Eurodollar Rate Loans and any loss, expense or liability sustained by such Lender in connection with the liquidation or re-employment of such funds but excluding loss of anticipated profits) which such Lender may sustain: (i) if for any reason (other than a default by such Lender) a borrowing of any Eurodollar Rate Loan does not occur on a date specified therefor in a Funding Notice or a telephonic request for borrowing, or a conversion to or continuation of any Eurodollar Rate Loan does not occur on a date specified therefor in a Conversion/Continuation Notice or a telephonic request for conversion or continuation; (ii) if any prepayment or other principal payment of, or any conversion of, any of its Eurodollar Rate Loans occurs on a date prior to the last day of an Interest Period applicable to that Term Loan; or (iii) if any prepayment of any of its Eurodollar Rate Loans is not made on any date specified in a notice of prepayment given by the Borrower.

(d) Booking of Eurodollar Rate Loans. Any Lender may make, carry or transfer Eurodollar Rate Loans at, to, or for the account of any of its branch offices or the office of an Affiliate of such Lender.

(e) Assumptions Concerning Funding of Eurodollar Rate Loans. Calculation of all amounts payable to a Lender under this Section 2.19 and under Section 2.20 shall be made as though such Lender had actually funded each of its relevant Eurodollar Rate Loans through the purchase of a Eurodollar deposit bearing interest at the rate obtained pursuant to clause (i) of the definition of “Adjusted Eurodollar Rate” in an amount equal to the amount of such Eurodollar Rate Loan and having a maturity comparable to the relevant Interest Period and through the transfer of such Eurodollar deposit from an offshore office of such Lender to a domestic office of such Lender in the United States of America; provided, however, that each Lender may fund each of its Eurodollar Rate Loans in any manner it sees fit and the foregoing assumptions shall be utilized only for the purposes of calculating amounts payable under this Section 2.19 and under Section 2.20.

2.20 Increased Costs; Capital Adequacy.

(a) Compensation for Increased Costs and Taxes. In the event that any Lender shall reasonably determine (which determination shall be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto but shall be made only after consultation with the Borrower and the Administrative Agent) that any law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation or order, or any change therein or in the interpretation, administration or application thereof (regardless of whether the underlying law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation or order was issued or enacted prior to the date hereof), including the introduction of any new law, treaty or governmental rule, regulation or order but excluding solely proposals thereof, or any determination of a court or Governmental Authority, in each case that becomes effective after the date hereof, or compliance by such Lender with any guideline, request or directive by any central bank or other governmental or quasi-governmental authority (whether or not having the force of law) or any implementation rules or interpretations of previously issued guidelines, requests or directives, in each case that is issued or made after the date hereof: (i) subjects such Lender (or its applicable lending office) to any additional tax (other than taxes excluded from Section 2.21 pursuant to clauses (i) through (vi) of Section 2.21(a) and Non-Excluded Taxes and Other Taxes indemnifiable under Section 2.21) with respect to this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or any of its obligations hereunder or thereunder or any obligations or payments to such Lender (or its applicable lending office) of principal, interest, fees or any other amount payable hereunder; (ii) imposes, modifies or holds applicable any reserve (including any marginal, emergency, supplemental, special or other reserve), special deposit, liquidity, compulsory loan, FDIC insurance or similar requirement against assets held by, or deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, or advances or loans by, or other credit extended by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Lender (other than any such reserve or other requirements with respect to Eurodollar Rate Loans that are reflected in the definition of “Adjusted Eurodollar Rate”); or (iii) imposes any other condition (other than with respect to a tax matter) on or affecting such Lender (or its applicable lending office) or such Lender’s obligations hereunder or the London interbank market; and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender by any amount of agreeing to make, making or maintaining Term Loans hereunder or to reduce any amount received or receivable by such Lender (or its applicable lending office) by any amount with respect thereto; then, in any such case, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender, within thirty (30) days of receipt of the statement referred to in the next sentence, such additional amount or amounts (in the form of an increased rate of, or a different method of calculating, interest or in a lump sum or otherwise as such Lender in its sole discretion shall determine) as may be necessary to compensate such Lender for any such increased cost or reduction in amounts received or receivable hereunder. Such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) a written statement, setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for calculating the additional amounts owed to such Lender under this Section 2.20(a), which statement shall be conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto absent manifest error. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Lender may demand compensation pursuant to this Section 2.20(a) unless it is then the general policy of such Lender to pursue similar compensation in similar circumstances under comparable provisions of other credit agreements.

(b) Capital Adequacy Adjustment. In the event that any Lender shall have reasonably determined (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto) that (A) the adoption, effectiveness, phase in or applicability of any law, rule or regulation (or any provision thereof) regarding liquidity and capital adequacy, or any change therein or in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or (B) compliance by any Lender (or its applicable lending office) with any guideline, request or directive regarding liquidity and capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency, in each case after the date hereof, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the capital of such Lender by a material amount as a consequence of, or with reference to, such Lender’s Term Loans, or participations therein or other obligations hereunder with respect to the Term Loans to a level below that which such Lender could have achieved but for such adoption, effectiveness, phase in, applicability, change or compliance (taking into consideration the policies of such Lender with regard to liquidity and capital adequacy), then from time to time, within thirty (30) days after receipt by the Borrower from such Lender of the statement referred to in the next sentence, the Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such controlling company on an after tax basis for such reduction. Such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) a written statement, setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for calculating the additional amounts owed to Lender under this Section 2.20(b), which statement shall be conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto absent manifest error. For the avoidance of doubt, subsections (a) and (b) of this Section 2.20 shall apply to all requests, rules, guidelines or directives concerning liquidity and capital adequacy issued by any United States regulatory authority (i) under or in connection with the implementation of the Xxxx-Xxxxx Xxxx Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and (ii) in connection with the implementation of the recommendations of the Bank for International Settlements or the Basel Committee on Banking Regulations and Supervisory Practices (or any successor or similar authority), in each case pursuant to Basel III, regardless of the date adopted, issued, promulgated or implemented. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Lender may demand compensation pursuant to this Section 2.20(b) unless it is then the general policy of such Lender to pursue similar compensation in similar circumstances under comparable provisions of other credit agreements.

2.21 Taxes.

(a) All payments made by or on behalf of any Loan Party to the Administrative Agent, the Arranger or any Lender or other recipient (each, a “Recipient”) under any Loan Document shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of, any present or future taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings, now or hereafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any Governmental Authority, excluding any of the following taxes (or any interest, additions to tax or penalties applicable thereto): (i) net income, net profit, branch profits, franchise and similar taxes imposed on any Recipient as a result of (x) such Recipient being organized under the laws of, or having its principal office or applicable lending office located in, the jurisdiction of the Governmental Authority imposing such tax, or (y) any other present or former connection between such Recipient and the jurisdiction of the Governmental Authority imposing such tax or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein (other than any such connection that would not have arisen but for and solely as a result of such Recipient having executed, delivered, been a party to, performed its obligations or received a payment under, received or perfected a security interest under, enforced or engaged in any other transaction pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document); (ii) taxes imposed on any Recipient that are attributable to such Recipient’s failure to comply with the requirements of paragraph (d), (e), (f), (g) or (h) of this Section 2.21; (iii) with respect to any Lender, any U.S. federal withholding tax imposed on such Lender pursuant to any Law in effect at the time such Lender becomes a party hereto or, in the case of any additional interest in a Term Loan acquired after such Lender becomes a party hereto, at the time such Lender acquires such additional interest (or changes its applicable lending office) except to the extent that (x) such Lender’s assignor (if any) was entitled, immediately prior to the assignment to such Lender, to additional amounts in respect of such withholding tax, or (y) such Lender was entitled, immediately prior to such change in applicable lending office, to additional amounts in respect of such withholding tax; (iv) United States federal backup withholding taxes under Section 3406 of the Code; (v) taxes that are imposed pursuant to Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Code as of the date of this Agreement (or any amended or successor version that is substantively comparable and not materially more onerous to comply with) or any intergovernmental or FFI agreement entered into pursuant thereto, or any applicable Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder or official interpretations thereof (such Code provisions, agreements, regulations and interpretations, collectively, “FATCA”); and (vi) any penalties, interest or additions to tax that are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the Recipient’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. If any taxes not described in clauses (i) through (vi) of the preceding sentence and/or any interest, additions to tax or penalties applicable thereto (“Non-Excluded Taxes”) or any Other Taxes are required to be withheld by any applicable withholding agent from or are otherwise imposed on any amounts payable to the Administrative Agent, the Arranger or any Lender by any Loan Party under any Loan Document, the amounts so payable by or on behalf of any Loan Party to the Administrative Agent, the Arranger or such Lender shall be increased to the extent necessary to yield to each Lender (or, in the case of any payment made to the Administrative Agent for its own account, the Administrative Agent), after payment of all Non-Excluded Taxes and Other Taxes (including with respect to additional amounts payable under this Section 2.21), interest or any such other amounts payable under such Loan Document at the rates or in the amounts specified in such Loan Document as if no such withholding or deduction had been made.

(b) Without duplication of Section 2.21(a), the Loan Parties shall pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.

(c) Whenever any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes are payable or remittable by a Loan Party, as promptly as possible thereafter the Loan Party shall send to the Administrative Agent and to the Arranger or the relevant Lender, as the case may be, a certified copy of an original official receipt received by the Loan Party or other reasonably satisfactory evidence showing payment thereof. Without duplication of Section 2.21(a), the Loan Parties, jointly and severally, shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, the Arranger or the relevant Lender for the full amount of Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes (including any Non-Excluded Taxes and Other Taxes imposed on amounts payable under this Section 2.21) payable by the Administrative Agent, the Arranger or the relevant Lender, as the case may be, and any liability (including penalties, additions to tax, interest and reasonable expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally asserted by the relevant taxing authority or other Governmental Authority. Such indemnification shall be made within 30 days after the date the Administrative Agent, any Arranger or any relevant Lender, as the case may be, makes written demand therefor (which demand shall set forth in reasonable detail the nature and amount of Non-Excluded Taxes and Other Taxes for which indemnification is being sought). If the Administrative Agent, the Arranger or a Lender determines, in its reasonable discretion, that it has received a refund of any taxes as to which it has been indemnified by a Loan Party or with respect to which a Loan Party has paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.21, it shall pay such Loan Party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Loan Party under this Section 2.21 with respect to the taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including taxes) of the Administrative Agent, the Arranger or such Lender and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund); provided that the Loan Party, upon the request of the Administrative Agent, the Arranger or such Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Loan Party (plus interest attributable to the period during which the Loan Party held such funds and any penalties, additions to tax, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent, the Arranger or such Lender in the event the Administrative Agent, the Arranger or such Lender, as the case may be, is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. This Section 2.21(c) shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent, the Arranger or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person. The agreements in this Section 2.21 shall survive the resignation and/or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other Obligations.

(d) Without limiting the generality of Section 2.21(e), each Lender, to the extent such Lender is not a “U.S. person” (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent whichever of the following is applicable:

(i) two duly completed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (or any successor form) claiming eligibility for benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party and which provides for an exemption from or reduction in United States federal withholding tax;

(ii) two duly completed copies of IRS Form W-8ECI (or any successor form);

(iii) in the case of a Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under section 881(c) of the Code, (A) a certificate in substantially the form of Exhibit E-1, to the effect that such Lender is not (1) a “bank” within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (2) a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, (3) a “controlled foreign corporation” described in section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code, and (4) was not engaged in a conduct of a trade or business within the United States to which the interest payment is effectively connected, and (B) two duly completed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (or any successor form);

(iv) to the extent a Lender is not the beneficial owner (for example, where the Lender is a partnership or a participating Lender granting a participation), a complete and executed IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by a Form W-8ECI, W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, a certificate in substantially the form of Exhibit E-2, E-3, or E-4, as applicable, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner (or any successor forms), as applicable; provided that, if the Lender is a partnership (and not a participating Lender) and one or more partners of such Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Lender may provide a certificate, in substantially the form of Exhibit E-2 or E-4, as applicable, on behalf of such beneficial owner(s) in lieu of requiring each beneficial owner to provide its own certificate; or

(v) any other form prescribed by applicable Law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in United States federal withholding tax on payments under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents duly completed together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable Law to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made.

To the extent a Lender is a “U.S. person” (as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent two duly completed copies of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax.

(e) Upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, a Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of any applicable withholding tax with respect to any payments under this Agreement or any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate; provided that such Lender is legally eligible to provide such documentation.

(f) If a payment made to any Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA, to determine whether such Lender has complied with its obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount, if any, to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for the purpose of this Section 2.21(f), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

(g) Each Lender shall deliver the forms and other documentation required to be provided under this Section 2.21 (i) on or before the date it becomes a party to this Agreement, (ii) promptly upon the obsolescence, expiration, inaccuracy, or invalidity of any form previously delivered by such Lender, and (iii) at such other times as may be reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent or as required by Law. Each Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower at any time it determines that it is no longer in a position to provide any documentation previously delivered to the Borrower or the Administrative Agent. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 2.21, a Lender shall not be required to deliver any documentation pursuant to Sections 2.21(d), (e), (f) or (g) that such Lender is not legally eligible to provide.

(h) If the Administrative Agent is a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code, then it shall, on or prior to the date on which it becomes the Administrative Agent, provide the Borrower with a properly completed and duly executed copy of IRS Form W-9 confirming that the Administrative Agent is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding. If the Administrative Agent is not a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code, then it shall, on or prior to the date on which it becomes the Administrative Agent, provide the Borrower with, (i) with respect to payments made to the Administrative Agent for its own account, a properly completed and duly executed IRS Form W-8ECI (or other applicable IRS Form W-8), and (ii) with respect to payments made to the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders, a properly completed and duly executed IRS Form W-8IMY confirming that the Administrative Agent agrees to be treated as a “United States person” for U.S. federal withholding tax purposes. The Administrative Agent shall, (i) promptly upon the obsolescence, expiration, inaccuracy or invalidity of any form previously delivered by the Administrative Agent under this clause (h), and (ii) at such other times as may be reasonably requested by the Borrower or as required by Law, deliver promptly to the Borrower an updated form or other appropriate documentation or promptly notify the Borrower in writing of its legal ineligibility to do so. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this clause (h), the Administrative Agent shall not be required to provide any documentation under this clause (h) that it is legally ineligible to provide as a result of a change in Law after the date hereof.

2.22 Obligation to Mitigate. Each Lender agrees that, as promptly as practicable after the officer of such Lender responsible for administering its Term Loans becomes aware of the occurrence of an event or the existence of a condition that would cause such Lender to become an Affected Lender or that would entitle such Lender to receive payments under Section 2.19, 2.20 or 2.21, it will, to the extent not inconsistent with the internal policies of such Lender and any applicable legal or regulatory restrictions, use reasonable efforts to (a) make, issue, fund or maintain its Term Loans, including any Affected Loans, through another office of such Lender, or (b) take such other measures as such Lender may deem reasonable, if as a result thereof the circumstances which would cause such Lender to be an Affected Lender would cease to exist or the additional amounts which would otherwise be required to be paid to such Lender pursuant to Section 2.19, 2.20 or 2.21 would be reduced and if, as determined by such Lender in its sole discretion, the making, funding or maintaining of such Term Loans through such other office or in accordance with such other measures, as the case may be, would not otherwise adversely affect such Term Loans or the interests of such Lender; provided that such Lender will not be obligated to utilize such other office or take such other measures pursuant to this Section 2.22 unless the Borrower agrees to pay all incremental expenses incurred by such Lender as a result of utilizing such other office or taking such other measures as described above. A certificate as to the amount of any such expenses payable by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.22 (setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for requesting such amount) submitted by such Lender to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall not be required to make any payments to any Lender under Section 2.19 or 2.20 for any costs or reductions incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of the circumstances giving rise to such costs or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided that if the event giving rise to such costs or reductions is given retroactive effect, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect therefor.

2.23 Defaulting Lenders.

(a) Defaulting Lender Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as such Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable law:

(i) Defaulting Lender Waterfall. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Section 8 or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 9.7 shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Term Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; third, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Term Loans under this Agreement; fourth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; fifth, so long as no Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender's breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and sixth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Term Loans in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Term Loans were made at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 4.2 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Term Loans of all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Term Loans of such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Term Loans are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the applicable Commitments. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender pursuant to this Section 2.23(a)(i) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

(ii) Certain Fees. No Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any fee pursuant to Section 2.12(a) for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the Borrower shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender).

(b) Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Borrower and the Administrative Agent agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein, that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Term Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Term Loans to be held pro rata by the Lenders in accordance with the applicable Commitments, whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided further, that, except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender having been a Defaulting Lender.

2.24 Removal or Replacement of a Lender. Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event that: (a) (i) any Lender (an “Increased Cost Lender”) shall give notice to the Borrower that such Lender is an Affected Lender or that such Lender is entitled to receive payments under Section 2.19, 2.20 or 2.21, (ii) the circumstances which have caused such Lender to be an Affected Lender or which entitle such Lender to receive such payments shall remain in effect, and (iii) such Lender shall fail to withdraw such notice within five Business Days after the Borrower’s request for such withdrawal; or (b) (i) any Lender shall become and continues to be a Defaulting Lender, and (ii) such Defaulting Lender shall fail to cure the default pursuant to Section 2.23(b) within five Business Days after the Borrower’s request that it cure such default; or (c) in connection with any proposed amendment, modification, termination, waiver or consent with respect to any of the provisions hereof as contemplated by Section 9.1, the consent of Required Lenders shall have been obtained but the consent of one or more of such other Lenders (each, a “Non-Consenting Lender”) whose consent is required shall not have been obtained; then, with respect to each such Increased Cost Lender, Defaulting Lender or Non-Consenting Lender (the “Terminated Lender”), the Borrower may, by giving written notice to the Administrative Agent and any Terminated Lender of its election to do so, elect to cause such Terminated Lender (and such Terminated Lender hereby irrevocably agrees) to assign its outstanding Term Loans and Commitments, if any, in full to one or more Persons permitted to become Lenders hereunder pursuant to and in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.6 (each, a “Replacement Lender”) and the Borrower shall pay the fees, if any, payable thereunder in connection with any such assignment from an Increased Cost Lender, a Defaulting Lender or a Non-Consenting Lender; provided that (1) on the date of such assignment, such Terminated Lender shall have received payment from the Replacement Lender or the Borrower in an amount equal to the sum of (A) the principal of, and all accrued interest on, all outstanding Term Loans of the Terminated Lender, (B) all unreimbursed drawings that have been funded by such Terminated Lender, together with all then unpaid interest with respect thereto at such time and (C) all accrued, but theretofore unpaid fees, premiums and other amounts accruing but unpaid hereunder owing to such Terminated Lender; (2) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 2.19(c), 2.20 or 2.21, such assignment will result in a material reduction in such compensation and on the date of such assignment, the Borrower shall pay any amounts payable to such Terminated Lender pursuant to Section 2.19, 2.20 or 2.21; or otherwise as if it were a prepayment and (3) in the event such Terminated Lender is a Non-Consenting Lender, each Replacement Lender shall consent, at the time of such assignment, to each matter in respect of which such Terminated Lender was a Non-Consenting Lender. Upon the prepayment of all amounts owing to any Terminated Lender and the termination of such Terminated Lender’s Commitments, such Terminated Lender shall no longer constitute a “Lender” for purposes hereof; provided that any rights of such Terminated Lender to indemnification hereunder shall survive as to such Terminated Lender. Each Lender agrees that if the Borrower exercises its option hereunder to cause an assignment by such Lender as a Non-Consenting Lender, Defaulting Lender or Terminated Lender, such Lender shall, promptly after receipt of written notice of such election, execute and deliver all documentation necessary to effectuate such assignment in accordance with Section 9.6; provided that each party hereto agrees that an assignment required pursuant to this Section 2.24 may be effected pursuant to an Assignment and Acceptance executed by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the assignee and that the Lender required to make such assignment need not be a party thereto, and each Lender hereby authorizes and directs the Administrative Agent to execute and deliver such documentation as may be required to give effect to an assignment in accordance with Section 9.6 on behalf of a Non-Consenting Lender or Terminated Lender and any such documentation so executed by the Administrative Agent shall be effective for purposes of documenting an assignment pursuant to Section 9.6.

2.25 Maturity Extension Option. The Borrower may from time to time after the second anniversary of the Closing Date, pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2.25, exercise in its sole discretion the right to extend the maturity date of the Term Loan Facility to a date no later than the date that is 18 months past the Original Maturity Date (the “Maturity Extension Option”), by giving irrevocable written notice (the “Maturity Extension Notice”) to the Administrative Agent of the exercise of the Maturity Extension Option (including the date of such new maturity date) at least five Business Days prior to the Original Maturity Date. The Maturity Extension Option shall not become effective unless (a) on the date that the Maturity Extension Notice is delivered, (i) the Plant Completion Date has occurred, (ii) no Default or Event of Default is continuing and (iii) the Borrower has paid to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Lender party to this Agreement as a Lender on such date, an extension fee in cash in an amount equal to 1.00% of the principal amount of such Lender’s Term Loans outstanding on such date, and (b) the Total Secured Debt Leverage Ratio (calculated on a Pro Forma Basis) as of the last day of the Test Period most recently ended prior to the Original Maturity Date for which financial statements are required to have been delivered pursuant to Section 5.1 is less than or equal to 4.50:1.00; provided that, for the purpose of calculating the Total Secured Debt Leverage Ratio for this clause (b), (A) any Cure Right exercised in respect of such Test Period shall be disregarded, and (B) any contracted revenue in respect of agreements that expire prior to the date that is two years after the Original Maturity Date shall be disregarded for purposes of calculating Consolidated EBITDA. Such fees shall be paid to the Administrative Agent at its Principal Office and upon receipt, the Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute to each Lender its Pro Rata Share of the aggregate amount of such fees paid to the Administrative Agent.

The projections and pro forma financial information contained in the materials referenced above are based upon good faith estimates and assumptions believed by management of the Borrower to be reasonable at the time made, it being recognized by the Lenders that such financial information as it relates to future events is not to be viewed as fact and that actual results during the period or periods covered by such financial information may differ from the projected results set forth therein by a material amount.

3.19 Security Documents.

(a) Subject to Section 5.12, each of the Security Documents (other than the Mortgages) is effective to create in favor of the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a legal, valid and enforceable security interest in the Collateral described therein and proceeds thereof. In the case of (i) any Pledged Equity as described in the Security Documents which is in certificated form, when any stock, membership or partnership unit certificates representing such Pledged Equity are delivered to, and in the possession of, the Administrative Agent, (ii) the Debt Service Reserve Account, when the Depositary Agreement is duly executed and delivered to the Administrative Agent, (iii) in the case of any Intellectual Property that is the subject of any application or registration in the United States Patent and Trademark Office and/or United States Copyright Office, when an Intellectual Property Security Agreement in appropriate form for filing is recorded in the United States Patent and Trademark Office and/or United States Copyright Office, as appropriate, and (iv) the other Collateral described in the Security Documents, when financing statements in appropriate form are filed in the offices specified on Schedule 3.19(a), the security interest created in favor of the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties in such Pledged Equity, Debt Service Reserve Account, Intellectual Property and other Collateral shall constitute a fully perfected Lien on, and security interest in, all right, title and interest of the Loan Parties in such Pledged Equity, Debt Service Reserve Account, Intellectual Property and other Collateral and the proceeds thereof, in which a security interest may be perfected by delivery to the Administrative Agent of such Pledged Equity, due execution and delivery of the Depositary Agreement to the Administrative Agent or by filing a financing statement in the United States, as security for the Obligations, in each case prior and superior in right to any other Person (other than Persons holdings Liens or other encumbrances or rights that are permitted by this Agreement to be incurred pursuant to Section 6.3).

(b) Subject to Section 5.12, each of the Mortgages is effective to create in favor of the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a legal, valid and enforceable Lien on the Mortgaged Properties described therein and proceeds thereof; and when the Mortgages are filed or published in the offices specified on Schedule 3.19(b) (in the case of the Mortgages to be executed and delivered pursuant to Section 5.12) or in the recording office designated by the Borrower (in the case of any Mortgage to be executed and delivered pursuant to Section 5.10), each Mortgage shall constitute a fully perfected Lien on, and security interest in, all right, title and interest of the applicable party to the Mortgage in the Mortgaged Properties described therein and the proceeds thereof, as security for the Obligations, in each case prior and superior in right to any other Person (other than Persons holding Liens or other encumbrances or rights permitted by this Agreement to be incurred pursuant to Section 6.3).

3.20 Solvency. As of the Closing Date and each Credit Date, and after giving effect to the Transactions occurring on the Closing Date or such Credit Date or any extension of credit, as applicable, the LNG Group Members, on a consolidated basis, are Solvent.

No Mortgage encumbers improved real Property which is located in an area that has been identified by the Director of the Federal Emergency Management Agency or any successor agency as an area having special flood hazards and in which flood insurance has been made available under Flood Insurance Laws (except any Mortgaged Properties as to which such flood insurance as required by Flood Insurance Laws has been obtained and is in full force and effect as required by this Agreement or the other Loan Documents).

3.22 [Reserved].

3.23 PATRIOT Act; FCPA; OFAC.

(a) To the extent applicable, each LNG Group Member (including any Unrestricted Subsidiary) is in compliance, in all material respects, with (i) the Trading with the Enemy Act and each of the foreign assets control regulations of the United States Treasury Department (31 C.F.R., Subtitle B, Chapter V) and any other enabling legislation or executive order relating thereto, and (ii) the PATRIOT Act. No part of the proceeds of the Term Loans will be used, directly or indirectly, for any payments to any governmental official or employee, political party, official of a political party, candidate for political office, or anyone else acting in an official capacity, in order to obtain, retain or direct business or obtain any improper advantage, in violation of the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977 (the “FCPA”). The LNG Group Members, and to their knowledge their employees, officers, directors, affiliates and agents, are in compliance in all material respects with the FCPA.

3.24 Material Construction-Related Contracts and Permits. No default by any LNG Group Member under any Material Construction-Related Contracts has occurred and is continuing, and no Material Construction-Related Contract has been terminated by any counter-party thereto. No Requirement of Law or Contractual Obligation applicable to any Loan Party would, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. Schedule 3.24 accurately and completely lists all Material Construction-Related Contracts to which any Loan Party is a party which are in effect on the Closing Date and thereafter, as of the date of delivery of the Compliance Certificate required to be delivered under Section 5.2(a) (the “Delivery Date”), and the Borrower has delivered to the Administrative Agent complete and correct copies of all such Material Construction-Related Contracts as of the Closing Date (and thereafter, either copies or descriptions of all such Material Construction-Related Contracts as of the most recent Delivery Date), including any amendments, supplements or modifications with respect thereto entered into on or prior to the Closing Date (and thereafter, either copies or descriptions thereof as of the most recent Delivery Date), and all such Material Construction-Related Contracts are in full force and effect as of the Closing Date (and thereafter, as of the most recent Delivery Date). Other than exceptions set forth on Schedule 3.24 and except as could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect: (a) each Loan Party has obtained and holds all Permits required for the current operation of its business and for the current stage of construction of the Plant at such date, (b) each Loan Party has performed and observed all requirements of such Permits (to the extent required to be performed by it) and (c) as of the Closing Date, no other Permits are required for the commencement of construction of the Plant.

Each of the Loan Parties is insured by insurers of recognized financial responsibility (as of the date such insurance was purchased) against such losses and risks and in such amounts as are customary in the businesses in which it is engaged, for companies located in a similar geographic area, taking into account the activities and relative size (as compared to other similarly situated companies) of the Loan Parties and in any event in accordance with Section 5.5.

(j) any of the Security Documents shall cease, for any reason (other than by reason of the express release thereof pursuant to Section 8.10 or the terms thereof or the failure of the Administrative Agent to file continuation statements or take any other actions required to be taken by the Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents), to be in full force and effect, or any Loan Party or any Affiliate of any Loan Party shall so assert in writing, or any Lien created by any of the Security Documents shall cease for any reason (other than by reason of the express release thereof pursuant to Section 8.10 or the terms thereof or by the failure of the Administrative Agent to file continuation statements or take any other actions required to be taken by the Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents) to be valid, perfected, enforceable and of the same effect and priority purported to be created thereby with respect to any of the Collateral, or any Loan Party or any Affiliate of any Loan Party shall so assert in writing; or

7.2 Application of Proceeds. All proceeds collected by the Administrative Agent upon any collection, sale, foreclosure or other realization upon any Collateral (including without limitation any distribution pursuant to a plan of reorganization), including any Collateral consisting of cash, shall be applied as follows:

FIRST, to the payment of all costs and expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as such hereunder or under any other Loan Document) in connection with such collection, sale, foreclosure or realization or otherwise in connection with this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any of the Obligations, including all court costs and the fees and expenses of its agents and legal counsel, the repayment of all advances made by the Administrative Agent hereunder or under any other Loan Document on behalf of any Loan Party and any other costs or expenses incurred in connection with the exercise of any right or remedy hereunder or under any other Loan Document;

SECOND, to the payment in full of all Obligations (the amounts so applied to be distributed among the Secured Parties pro rata in accordance with the amounts of the Obligations owed to them on the date of any such distribution);

THIRD, to the Loan Parties, their successors or assigns, or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct.

In addition, in the event that the Administrative Agent receives any non-cash distribution upon any collection, sale, foreclosure or other realization upon any Collateral, such non-cash distribution shall be allocated in the manner described above, with the value of such non-cash distribution being reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent; provided that the Administrative Agent shall apply any cash distribution in accordance with this Section 7.2 prior to application of any such non-cash distribution. The Administrative Agent shall have absolute discretion as to the time of application of any such proceeds, moneys or balances in accordance with this Agreement. Upon any sale of Collateral by the Administrative Agent (including pursuant to a power of sale granted by statute or under a judicial proceeding), the receipt of the Administrative Agent or of the officer making the sale shall be a sufficient discharge to the purchaser or purchasers of the Collateral so sold and such purchaser or purchasers shall not be obligated to see to the application of any part of the purchase money paid over to the Administrative Agent or such officer or be answerable in any way for the misapplication thereof.

7.3 Cure Right.

(a) In the event that (x) an Excess Cash Restriction Period occurs or is expected to occur in respect of any Test Period or (y) the ECF Percentage is equal to or is expected to equal 100% in respect of any Test Period, on or before the tenth Business Day after the date that the financial statements with respect to the fiscal quarter or fiscal year, as applicable, ending on the last day of such Test Period are required to be delivered pursuant to Section 5.1, Fortress shall have the right (the “Cure Right”), exercisable no more than two times during the term of this Agreement, to make, or cause one or more Affiliates of Fortress to make, cash contributions to, or purchase for cash common equity (or other Capital Stock not constituting Disqualified Capital Stock of, of Holdings (with such cash contributions or proceeds to be contributed to the Borrower in the form of common equity), in an amount equal to the amount required to cause an Excess Cash Restriction Period or an ECF Percentage of 100%, as applicable, to no longer occur (the “Cure Amount”), upon which the financial ratios set forth in such definition shall be recalculated, giving effect to a pro forma increase to Consolidated EBITDA of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries in accordance with the definition thereof for the fiscal quarter with respect to which such Cure Right was exercised in an amount equal to such Cure Amount (and such increase shall be included in each period that includes such fiscal quarter); provided, however, that such pro forma adjustment to Consolidated EBITDA of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries shall be given solely for the purpose of determining the occurrence of either an Excess Cash Restriction Period or an ECF Percentage of 100%, as applicable, and not for any other purpose under any Loan Document.

(b) If, after the exercise of the Cure Right and the recalculations pursuant to Section 7.3(a), the conditions to an Excess Cash Restriction Period or an ECF Percentage of 100%, as applicable, would no longer be satisfied, such Excess Cash Restriction Period or ECF Percentage of 100%, as applicable, shall be deemed to have not occurred on such date; provided, however, that (i) the Cure Amount shall be no greater than the amount required to cause such Excess Cash Sweep Event to not apply and (ii) all Cure Amounts and the use of proceeds therefrom will be disregarded for all other purposes (including pro forma reduction of Indebtedness by netting or otherwise) under the Loan Documents.

Section 8. THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

8.1 Appointment and Authority.

(a) Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints MSSF to act on its behalf as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Section are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and none of the Borrower nor any other Loan Party shall have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions (except as provided in Section 8.6).

(b) [Reserved].

(c) The Administrative Agent shall also act as the collateral agent under the Loan Documents, and each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to act as the agent of such Lender for purposes of acquiring, holding and enforcing any and all Liens on Collateral granted by any of the Loan Parties to secure any of the Obligations, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto. In this connection, the Administrative Agent, as collateral agent, and any coagents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact appointed by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 8.5 for purposes of holding or enforcing any Lien on the Collateral (or any portion thereof) granted under the Security Documents, or for exercising any rights and remedies thereunder at the direction of the Administrative Agent, shall be entitled to the benefits of all provisions of this Section 8 and Section 9 (including Section 9.5(b), as though such co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact were the collateral agent under the Loan Documents) as if set forth in full herein with respect thereto.

8.2 Rights as a Lender. The Person serving as the Administrative Agent here-under shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder in its individual capacity.
Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with Holdings, the Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.

8.3 Exculpatory Provisions. The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent:

(a) shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing;

102

(b) shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents), provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law;

(c) shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity;

(d) shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Sections 9.1 and 7.1) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until notice describing such Default is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower or a Lender;

(e) shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, or the creation, perfection or priority of any Lien purported to be created by the Security Documents, (v) the value or the sufficiency of any Collateral, (vi) perfecting, maintaining, monitoring, preserving or protecting the security interest or lien (including the priority thereof) granted under this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, (vii) the filing, refiling, recording, re-recording or continuing of any document, financing statement, mortgage, assignment, notice, instrument of further assurance or other instrument in any public office at any time or times, (viii) providing, maintaining, monitoring or preserving insurance on or the payment of taxes with respect to any of the Collateral or (ix) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Section 4 or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent;

(f) shall not be required to qualify in any jurisdiction in which it is not presently qualified to perform its obligations as Agent; and

103

(g) shall not be required to (i) expend or risk its own funds or provide indemnities in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or the exercise of any of its rights or powers, or (ii) otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of its duties hereunder or the exercise of any of its rights or powers, except for such expense, indemnity or liability, if any, arising out of the Administrative Agent’s gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct in the performance of its duties hereunder or under any other Loan Document, as determined by a judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.

No requirement in any Loan Document for a Loan Party to provide evidence, opinion, information, documentation or other material requested or required by the Administrative Agent shall be construed to mean that the Administrative Agent has any responsibility to request or require such evidence, opinion, information, documentation or other material. No Lender shall assert, and each Lender hereby waives, any claim against the Administrative Agent, including any predecessor agent, its sub-agents and their respective Affiliates in respect of any action taken or omitted to be taken by any of them, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Term Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof.

8.4 Reliance by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Term Loan that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Term Loan. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower or any Lender), independent accountants and other experts, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

8.5 Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Section 8 shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facility provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent.

104

8.6 Resignation of Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders and the Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, with the consent of the Borrower (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) unless an Event of Default under Section 7.1(a) or (f) is continuing, to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, with the consent of the Borrower (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) unless an Event of Default under Section 7.1(a) or (f) is continuing, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above; provided that if the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (a) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed) and (b) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above in this Section. Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section). The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Section 8 and Section 9.5 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent.

8.7 Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

8.8 No Other Duties, Etc. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Arranger listed on the cover page hereof shall not have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as the Administrative Agent or a Lender hereunder.

105

8.9 Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or any other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Term Loan shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

(a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Term Loans and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders and the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.12 and 9.5) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

(b) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, if the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.12 and 9.5.

Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender or in any such proceeding.

8.10 Collateral and Guaranty Matters; Rights Under Hedge Agreements.

(a) Each of the Lenders irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent to release or evidence the release of any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document, to release any Guarantor from its obligations under a Guarantee Agreement or any Loan Document or to subordinate any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document, in each case as provided in Section 9.22.

(b) Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release or subordinate its interest in particular types or items of property, or to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Loan Documents pursuant to Section 9.22.

106

(c) No Secured Hedge Agreement will create (or be deemed to create) in favor of any Lender Counterparty that is a party thereto any rights to manage or release any Collateral or of the obligations of any Guarantor under the Loan Documents except as expressly provided in Section 9.1(ix). By accepting the benefits of the Collateral, such Lender Counterparty shall be deemed to have appointed the Administrative Agent as its agent and agreed to be bound by the Loan Documents as a Secured Party, subject to the limitations set forth in this clause (c).

8.11 Withholding Taxes. To the extent required by any applicable Requirements of Law, the Administrative Agent may withhold from any payment to any Lender an amount equivalent to any applicable withholding tax except to the extent that such Lender has established an exemption from or reduction of such withholding tax by complying with the requirements of paragraph (d), (e) or (f) of Section 2.21 or that such tax has been withheld by a Loan Party. Without limiting or expanding the provisions of Section 2.21, each Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent against, and shall make payable in respect thereof within thirty (30) days after demand therefor, any and all taxes and any and all related losses, claims, liabilities and expenses (including fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Administrative Agent) incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent by the Internal Revenue Service or any other Governmental Authority as a result of the failure of the Administrative Agent to properly withhold tax from amounts paid to or for the account of such Lender for any reason (including because the appropriate form was not delivered or not properly executed, or because such Lender failed to notify the Administrative Agent of a change in circumstance that rendered the exemption from, or reduction of, withholding tax ineffective). A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any amount due the Administrative Agent under this Section 8.11. The agreements in this Section 8.11 shall survive the resignation and/or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other Obligations.

In the case of any waiver, the Loan Parties, the Lenders and the Administrative Agent shall be restored to their former position and rights hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, and any Default or Event of Default waived shall be deemed to be cured and not continuing; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default, or impair any right consequent thereon. Any such waiver, amendment, supplement or modification shall be effected by a written instrument signed by the parties required to sign pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section; provided that delivery of an executed signature page of any such instrument by facsimile transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart thereof.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Guarantee Agreements, Security Documents and related documents executed in connection with this Agreement may be in a form reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent and may be, together with this Agreement, amended and waived with the consent of the Administrative Agent, Holdings and the Borrower only and without the need to obtain the consent of any Lender if such amendment or waiver is delivered solely to the extent necessary to (i) comply with local Law or advice of local counsel or (ii) cause such Guarantee Agreement, Security Document or related document to be consistent with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (which, for the avoidance of doubt, includes resolving any conflicts between the operation of the terms in the Depositary Agreement and this Agreement).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be amended (or amended and restated) with the written consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (i) to add one or more additional credit facilities to this Agreement and to permit the extensions of credit from time to time outstanding thereunder and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof to share ratably in the benefits of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with the Term Loans and Commitments hereunder and the accrued interest and fees in respect thereof and (ii) to include appropriately the Lenders holding such credit facilities in any determination of the Required Lenders and provide for class voting to the extent appropriate.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in connection with any amendment, modification, waiver or other action requiring the consent or approval of Required Lenders, Lenders that are Affiliated Lenders shall not be permitted, in the aggregate, to account for more than 49.9% of the amounts actually included in determining whether the threshold in the definition of Required Lenders has been satisfied. The voting power of each Lender that is an Affiliated Lender shall be reduced, pro rata, to the extent necessary in order to comply with the immediately preceding sentence.

THE PLATFORM IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” THE AGENT PARTIES (AS DEFINED BELOW) DO NOT WARRANT THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF THE MATERIALS AND/OR INFORMATION PROVIDED BY OR ON BEHALF OF THE BORROWER HEREUNDER (“BORROWER MATERIALS”) OR THE ADEQUACY OF THE PLATFORM, AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM LIABILITY FOR ERRORS IN OR OMISSIONS FROM THE BORROWER MATERIALS. NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS OR FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER CODE DEFECTS, IS MADE BY ANY AGENT PARTY IN CONNECTION WITH THE BORROWER MATERIALS OR THE PLATFORM.

9.3 No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No failure to exercise and no delay in exercising, on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under the other Loan Documents shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by law.

9.4 Survival of Representations and Warranties.

111

9.5 Payment of Expenses; Indemnification.

(a) The Borrower agrees (a) to pay or reimburse each of the Agents and the Arranger for all their reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the syndication of the Term Loan Facility (other than fees payable to syndicate members) and the development, negotiation, preparation and execution of, and any amendment, supplement or modification to, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any other documents prepared in connection herewith or therewith, and the consummation and administration of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, including, without limitation, the reasonable and documented fees and disbursements of a single law firm as counsel to the Agents and the Arranger and one local counsel to the Agents in any relevant jurisdiction and the charges of Intra-Links, (b) [Reserved], (c) to pay or reimburse each Lender and the Agents for all their reasonable and documented costs and expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement or preservation of any rights under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any other documents prepared in connection herewith or therewith, including, without limitation, all costs and expenses incurred during any legal proceeding, including any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Laws, the reasonable and documented fees and disbursements of a single law firm as counsel to the Lenders and the Agents taken as a whole and one local counsel to the Lenders and the Agents taken as a whole in any relevant material jurisdiction (or, with respect to enforcement, any relevant jurisdiction) and, if a conflict exists among such Persons, one additional primary counsel and, if necessary or advisable, one local counsel in each relevant jurisdiction, (d) to pay, indemnify, or reimburse each Lender and the Agents for, and hold each Lender and the Agents harmless from, any and all reasonable recording and filing fees and any and all reasonable liabilities with respect to, or resulting from any delay in paying Other Taxes, if any, which may be payable or determined to be payable in connection with the execution and delivery of, or consummation or administration of any of the transactions contemplated by, or any amendment, supplement or modification of, or any waiver or consent under or in respect of, this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any such other documents, and (e) to pay, indemnify or reimburse each Lender, the Agents, their respective affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, trustees, employees, advisors, agents and controlling persons (each, an “Indemnitee”) for, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from and against any and all other liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims (including Environmental Claims), actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (limited to, in the case of counsel, the reasonable and documented fees and disbursements of a single law firm as counsel to the Indemnitees taken as a whole and one local counsel to the Indemnitees taken as a whole in any relevant jurisdiction and, if a conflict exists among such Persons, one additional primary counsel and, if necessary or advisable, one local counsel in each relevant jurisdiction) whether direct, indirect, special or consequential, incurred by an Indemnitee or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution, enforcement or delivery of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties hereto or thereto of their respective obligations hereunder or thereunder or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, (ii) any Term Loan or the use or proposed use of the proceeds thereof, (iii) any actual or alleged presence or Release of Hazardous Materials on, at, under or from any property owned, occupied or operated by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or any liability under any Environmental Law related in any way to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective properties, or (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, whether brought by any third party or by the Borrower or any other Loan Party, and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto (all the foregoing in this clause (e), collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”), but excluding, in each case, taxes other than any taxes that represent losses, damages, etc., in respect of a non-tax claim; provided that the Borrower shall have no obligation hereunder to any Indemnitee with respect to Indemnified Liabilities to the extent such Indemnified Liabilities (x) are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence, bad faith, willful misconduct or material breach of its obligations under this Agreement of such Indemnitee or (y) resulted from any dispute that does not involve an act or omission by the Borrower or any of their respective affiliates, shareholders, partners or other equity holders and that is brought by an Indemnitee against another Indemnitee other than any claims against an Indemnitee in its capacity or in fulfilling its role as the Administrative Agent or the Arranger under the Term Loan Facility. No Indemnitee shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unauthorized persons of information or other materials sent through electronic, telecommunications or other information transmission systems that are intercepted by such persons or for any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages in connection with the Term Loan Facility. Without limiting the foregoing, and to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrower agrees not to assert and to cause its Subsidiaries not to assert, and hereby waives and agrees to cause its Subsidiaries so to waive, all rights for contribution or any other rights of recovery with respect to all claims, demands, penalties, fines, liabilities, settlements, damages, costs and expenses of whatever kind or nature, under or related to Environmental Laws, that any of them might have by statute or otherwise against any Indemnitee except to the extent wholly unrelated to the Facility and this Agreement. All amounts due under this Section 9.5(a) shall be payable not later than 30 days after written demand therefor. Statements payable by the Borrower pursuant to this Section shall be submitted to X. Xxxxxxx (Telephone No. (000) 000-0000) (Fax No. (000) 000-0000), at the address of the Borrower set forth in Section 9.2, or to such other Person or address as may be hereafter designated by the Borrower in a notice to the Administrative Agent. The agreements in this Section shall survive the termination of the Commitments and the repayment of the Term Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.

112

(b) Reimbursement by Lenders. To the extent that the Borrower for any reason fails to indefeasibly pay any amount required under subsection (a) of this Section to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent thereof) or any Related Party of any of the foregoing, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Lender’s Pro Rata Share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount, provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) in its capacity as such, or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) in connection with such capacity.

9.6 Successors and Assigns; Participations and Assignments.

(a) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Holdings, the Borrower, the Lenders, the Administrative Agent, all future holders of the Term Loans and their respective successors and assigns, except that the Borrower may not assign or transfer any of their rights or obligations under this Agreement except in a transaction permitted pursuant to Section 6.4(a)(i)(x) without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender.

113

(b) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower, in accordance with applicable law, at any time sell to one or more banks, financial institutions or other entities (each, a “Participant”) participating interests in any Term Loan owing to such Lender, any Commitment of such Lender or any other interest of such Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents; provided, however, that no Lender shall be permitted to sell any such participating interest to (i) Fortress, any of its Affiliates (other than any Affiliated Loan Fund) or any of their respective associated investment funds, (ii) a natural person or (iii) any Disqualified Assignee. In the event of any such sale by a Lender of a participating interest to a Participant, such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement to the other parties to this Agreement shall remain unchanged, such Lender shall remain solely responsible for the performance thereof, such Lender shall remain the holder of such Term Loan and Commitments for all purposes under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. In no event shall any Participant under any such participation have any right to approve any amendment or waiver of any provision of any Loan Document, or any consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom, except to the extent that such amendment, waiver or consent would require the consent of all the Lenders or of each affected Lender pursuant to Section 9.1. The Borrower agrees that if amounts outstanding under this Agreement and the Term Loans are due or unpaid, or shall have been declared or shall have become due and payable upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, each Participant shall, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, be deemed to have the right of setoff in respect of its participating interest in amounts owing under this Agreement to the same extent as if the amount of its participating interest were owing directly to it as a Lender under this Agreement; provided that, in purchasing such participating interest, such Participant shall be deemed to have agreed to share with the Lenders the proceeds thereof as provided in Section 9.7(a) as fully as if such Participant were a Lender hereunder. The Borrower also agrees that each Participant shall be entitled through the Lender granting the participation to the benefits of Sections 2.19, 2.20 or 2.21 (subject to the requirements and limitations of such Sections, Section 2.22 and 2.24, including the requirements of Section 2.21(d) through (g) (it being agreed that any required forms shall be provided solely to the participating Lender)) with respect to its participation in the Commitments and the Term Loans outstanding from time to time as if such Participant were a Lender; provided that no Participant shall be entitled to receive any greater amount pursuant to any such Section than the transferor Lender would have been entitled to receive in respect of the amount of the participation transferred by such transferor Lender to such Participant had no such transfer occurred, except to the extent that entitlement to a greater amount results from a change in Law that occurs after such Participant acquires the applicable participation, unless such transfer was made with the Borrower’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal and interest amounts of each Participant’s interest in the Term Loans held by it (the “Participant Register”). The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of the participation in question for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. No Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of a Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations and to confirm a Participant is not a Disqualified Assignee.

114

(c) Any Lender (an “Assignor”) may, in accordance with applicable law and the written consent of the Administrative Agent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, and which consent shall not be required in connection with an assignment made by or to the Arranger or Affiliate of the Arranger) and, so long as no Event of Default under Section 7.1(a) or (f) has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, and which consent shall not be required in connection with an assignment made by or to the Arranger or Affiliate to the Arranger) (provided that the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within five Business Days after having received notice thereof), at any time and from time to time assign to any Lender or any affiliate, Related Fund or Control Investment Affiliate thereof, to an additional bank, financial institution or other entity (an “Assignee”) all or any part of its rights and obligations under this Agreement pursuant to an Assignment and Acceptance executed by such Assignee and such Assignor and delivered to the Administrative Agent for its acceptance and recording in the Register; provided that assignments made to any Lender, an affiliate of a Lender or a Related Fund will not be subject to the above described consents; provided, further, that no assignment to an Assignee (other than any Lender or any affiliate thereof) of Term Loans and Commitments shall be in an aggregate principal amount of less than $1,000,000 (other than in the case of an assignment of all of a Lender’s interests in the Term Loan Facility under this Agreement) and, after giving effect thereto, the assigning Lender (if it shall retain any Term Loans and Commitments) shall have Term Loans aggregating at least $1,000,000 unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower; provided, however, no Lender shall be permitted to assign all or any part of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to (i) Fortress, any of its Affiliates or any of their respective associated investment funds (other than Holdings, the Borrower or any of their respective Subsidiaries), unless the additional limitations set forth in Section 9.6(d) are satisfied, (ii) Holdings, the Borrower or any of their respective Subsidiaries, except pursuant to Borrower Loan Purchase made in accordance with Section 9.6(i), (iii) any natural person or (iv) any Disqualified Assignee. Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording in the Register, from and after the effective date determined pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, (x) the Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder with Commitments and/or Term Loans as set forth therein, and (y) the Assignor thereunder shall, to the extent provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all of an Assignor’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Assignor shall cease to be a party hereto, except as to Sections 2.20, 2.21 and 9.5 in respect of the period prior to such effective date). For purposes of the minimum assignment amounts set forth in this paragraph, multiple assignments by two or more Related Funds shall be aggregated. Any assignment or participation to a Disqualified Assignee is void ab initio unless such assignment or participation, as the case may be, has been approved by the Borrower, in which case such assignee or participant shall not be considered a Disqualified Assignee solely for such particular assignment or participation, as the case may be. In the case of an assignment not approved by the Borrower, such Disqualified Assignee shall be deleted from the Register upon written notification from the Borrower. Except for providing the list of Disqualified Assignees to each Lender, the Administrative Agent shall have no responsibility or liability to monitor or enforce such list of Disqualified Assignees.

(d) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or any other Loan Document to the contrary, any Lender may assign all or a portion of its Term Loans and Commitments to Fortress or any of its Affiliates or any of their respective associated investment funds, other than Holdings, the Borrower or any of their respective Subsidiaries (an “Affiliated Lender”), pursuant to an Affiliated Lender Assignment and Assumption in accordance with this Section 9.6(d) (which assignment will not constitute a prepayment of Term Loans or termination of Commitments for any purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents); provided that:

115

(i) Affiliated Lenders (other than Affiliated Loan Funds) will not have the right to receive, and will not receive, information provided solely to Lenders by the Administrative Agent or any Lender and will not be permitted to, and will not, attend or participate in meetings or conference calls attended solely by the Lenders and the Administrative Agent, other than the right to receive notices of prepayments and other administrative notices in respect of its Term Loans required to be delivered to the Lenders;

(ii) notwithstanding anything in Section 9.1 or the definition of “Required Lenders” to the contrary, for purposes of determining whether the “Required Lenders” have (A) consented (or not consented) to any amendment, modification, waiver, consent or other action with respect to any of the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any departure by any Loan Party therefrom, (B) otherwise acted on any matter related to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or (C) directed or required the Administrative Agent or any Lender to undertake any action (or refrain from taking any action) with respect to or under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, all Term Loans and Commitments held by any Affiliated Lender (other than Affiliated Loan Funds) shall be deemed to have voted in the same proportion as the allocation of voting with respect to such matter by Lenders who are not Affiliated Lenders for all purposes of calculating whether the Required Lenders have taken any actions, and each Affiliated Lender (other than Affiliated Loan Funds) hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent (such appointment being coupled with an interest) as such Affiliated Lender’s attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of such Affiliated Lender and in the name of such Affiliated Lender, from time to time in the Administrative Agent’s discretion to take any action and to execute any instrument that the Administrative Agent may deem reasonably necessary to carry out the provisions of this clause (ii);

(iii) the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans and Commitments held at any one time by Affiliated Lenders (other than Affiliated Loan Funds) may not exceed 20% of the then outstanding principal amount of all Term Loans and Commitments, and any assignments that cause the Affiliated Lenders (other than Affiliated Loan Funds) in the aggregate to exceed such percentages, as applicable, shall be deemed void ab initio and the Register shall be modified to reflect a reversal of such assignment;

(iv) each of the parties hereto and any Lender participating in any assignment to an Affiliated Lender acknowledge and agree that in connection with such assignment, (A) the assignee then may have, and later may come into possession of Excluded Information, (B) such Lender has, independently and without reliance on such Affiliated Lender, any of its Subsidiaries, the Administrative Agent or any of its affiliates, made its own analysis and determination to participate in such assignment notwithstanding such Lender’s lack of knowledge of the Excluded Information, (C) none of the Affiliated Lenders or any of its Subsidiaries, the Administrative Agent or any of its affiliates shall have any liability to such Lender, and such Lender hereby waives and releases, to the extent permitted by law, any claims such Lender may have against such Affiliated Lender, any of its Subsidiaries, the Administrative Agent and any of its affiliates, under applicable laws or otherwise, with respect to the nondisclosure of the Excluded Information and (D) the Excluded Information may not be available to the Administrative Agent or the other Lenders;

116

(v) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment to an Affiliated Lender (other than an Affiliated Loan Fund) or would result from such assignment; and

(vi) each Affiliated Lender, solely in its capacity as a Lender, hereby further agrees that if any Loan Party shall be subject to any voluntary or involuntary proceeding commenced under any Debtor Relief Law, each such Affiliated Lender shall be deemed to have voted in such proceeding in the same proportion as the allocation of voting with respect to such proceeding by those Lenders who are not Affiliated Lenders, except to the extent that any matter under such proceeding proposes to treat the Obligations of the Loan Parties under the Loan Documents held by such Affiliated Lender in a manner that is less favorable to such Affiliated Lender in any material respect than the proposed treatment of similar Obligations of the Loan Parties under the Loan Documents held by other Lenders. Each Affiliated Lender agrees and acknowledges that the foregoing constitutes an irrevocable proxy in favor of the Administrative Agent to vote or consent on behalf of such Affiliated Lender in any proceeding in the manner set forth above; provided that any Affiliated Lender that qualifies as an Affiliated Loan Fund shall not be subject to the limits set forth in this Section 9.6(d)(vi).

(e) Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance executed by an Assignor and an Assignee (and, in any case where the consent of any other Person is required by Section 9.6(c), by each such other Person) together with payment to the Administrative Agent of a registration and processing fee of $3,500 (provided, however, that (i) the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any assignment and (ii) no such fee shall be required to be paid (A) in connection with an assignment by or to the Arranger or any Affiliate thereof or (B) in the case of an Assignee which is already a Lender or any Affiliate, Related Fund or Control Investment Affiliate thereof), the Administrative Agent shall (i) promptly accept such Assignment and Acceptance and (ii) on the effective date determined pursuant thereto record the information contained therein in the Register and give notice of such acceptance and recordation to the Borrower. On or prior to such effective date, the Borrower, at its own expense, upon request, shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent (in exchange for the applicable Term Loan Notes of the assigning Lender) a new Term Loan Note to the order of such Assignee in an amount equal to the Term Loans assumed or acquired by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance and, if the Assignor has retained Term Loans, upon request, a new Term Loan Note to the order of the Assignor in an amount equal to the Term Loans retained by it hereunder. Such new Term Loan Note or Term Loan Notes shall be dated the Closing Date and shall otherwise be in the form of the Term Loan Note or Term Loan Notes replaced thereby.

(f) For the avoidance of doubt, the parties to this Agreement acknowledge that the provisions of this Section 9.6 concerning assignments of Term Loans and Commitments and Term Loan Notes relate only to absolute assignments and that such provisions do not prohibit assignments creating security interests in Term Loans and Term Loan Notes, including, without limitation, any pledge or assignment by a Lender of any Term Loan or Term Loan Note to any Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with applicable law.

117

(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a “Granting Lender”) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle (an “SPC”), identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, the option to provide to the Borrower all or any part of any Term Loan that such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to make to the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement; provided that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by any SPC to make any Term Loan and (ii) if an SPC elects not to exercise such option or otherwise fails to provide all or any part of such Term Loan, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to make such Term Loan pursuant to the terms hereof. The making of a Term Loan by an SPC hereunder shall utilize the Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Term Loan were made by such Granting Lender. Each party hereto hereby agrees that no SPC shall be liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement (all liability for which shall remain with the Granting Lender). In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereto hereby agrees (which agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement) that, prior to the date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper or other indebtedness of any SPC, it will not institute against, or join any other person in instituting against, such SPC any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings under the laws of the United States or any state thereof. Each party hereto also agrees that each SPC shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.19, 2.20 or 2.21 (subject to the requirements and limitations of such Sections, Section 2.22 and 2.24, including the requirements of Section 2.21(d) through (g) (it being agreed that any required forms shall be provided solely to the Granting Lender)) with respect to its granted interest in the Commitments and the Term Loans outstanding from time to time as if such SPC were a Lender; provided that no SPC shall be entitled to receive any greater amount pursuant to any such Section than the Granting Lender would have been entitled to receive in respect of the amount of the interest granted by such Granting Lender to such SPC had no such grant occurred, except to the extent that entitlement to a greater amount results from a change in Law that occurs after such interest was granted, unless such grant was made with the Borrower’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably with held or delayed). In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 9.6(g), any SPC may (A) with notice to, but without the prior written consent of, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and with the payment of a processing fee in the amount of $3,500 (which processing fee may be waived by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion), assign all or a portion of its interests in any Term Loans to the Granting Lender, or with the prior written consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) and with the payment of a processing fee in the amount of $3,500 (which processing fee may be waived by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion) to any financial institutions providing liquidity and/or credit support to or for the account of such SPC to support the funding or maintenance of Term Loans, and (B) disclose on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its Term Loans to any rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety, guarantee or credit or liquidity enhancement to such SPC; provided that non-public information with respect to the Borrower may be disclosed only with the Borrower’s consent which will not be unreasonably withheld. This Section 9.6(g) may not be amended without the written consent of any SPC with Term Loans outstanding at the time of such proposed amendment. To the extent an SPC provides a Term Loan, the applicable Lender may maintain a register on behalf of the Borrower and the SPC’s interest must be entered in the register.

(h) [Reserved].

118

(i) Purchases of Term Loans and Commitments by the Borrower.

(i) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or any other Loan Document to the contrary, the Borrower shall have the right to voluntarily purchase Term Loans and Commitments from one or more Lenders and simultaneously cancel or retire such Term Loans and Commitments and the Lenders shall be permitted to sell or assign such Term Loans and Commitments to the Borrower (in each case, a “Borrower Loan Purchase”) subject to all the other requirements of this Section 9.6(i).

(ii) The Borrower may conduct one or more modified “Dutch auctions” (each, an “Auction”) to repurchase all or any portion of the Term Loans and Commitments; provided that (A) notice of the Auction shall be made to all Lenders having or holding Term Loans and Commitments and (B) the Auction shall be conducted pursuant to such customary procedures as the Auction Manager may establish which are consistent with this Section 9.6(i) and are otherwise reasonably acceptable to the Auction Manager and the Administrative Agent.

9.7 Adjustments; Set-off.

(a) If any Lender (a “Benefited Lender”) shall at any time receive any payment of all or part of the Obligations owing to it, or receive any collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by set-off, pursuant to events or proceedings of the nature referred to in Section 7.1(f), or otherwise), in a greater proportion than any such payment to or collateral received by any other Lender, if any, in respect of such other Lender’s Obligations, such Benefited Lender shall purchase for cash from the other Lenders a participating interest in such portion of each such other Lender’s Obligations, or shall provide such other Lenders with the benefits of any such collateral, as shall be necessary to cause such Benefited Lender to share the excess payment or benefits of such collateral ratably with each of the Lenders; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from such Benefited Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned, to the extent of such recovery, but without interest. For purposes of clause (iii) of Section 2.21(a), a Benefited Lender that acquires a participation interest in another Lender’s Obligations pursuant to this Section 9.7(a) shall be deemed to have acquired such participating interest on the earlier date(s) on which such Benefited Lender acquired its Obligations to which the participating interest relates.

(b) In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by law, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any Event of Default, each Lender shall have the right, without prior notice to Holdings or the Borrower, any such notice being expressly waived by Holdings and the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon any amount becoming due and payable by Holdings or the Borrower hereunder (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), to set off and appropriate and apply against such amount any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by such Lender or any branch or agency thereof to or for the credit or the account of Holdings or the Borrower, as the case may be. Each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent after any such setoff and application made by such Lender; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.

120

9.8 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts, and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument.

A set of the copies of this Agreement signed by all the parties shall be lodged with the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section 9.14 shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.

To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of the Borrower is made to the Administrative Agent or any Lender, or the Administrative Agent or any Lender exercises its right of setoff, and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Administrative Agent or such Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise, then (a) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred, and (b) each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent upon demand its applicable share (without duplication) of any amount so recovered from or repaid by the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Effective Rate from time to time in effect.

(b) Any Guarantor shall be released from its obligations under a Guarantee Agreement or any other Loan Document (i) with respect to any Guarantor that is designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary upon such designation in accordance with Section 5.15 or (ii) if such Person ceases to be a Subsidiary as a result of a transaction permitted hereunder, to the extent necessary to permit consummation of such transaction as permitted by the Loan Documents; provided that no such release shall occur if such Guarantor continues to be a guarantor in respect of any other Indebtedness expressly subordinated to the Obligations.

(c) At the request of the Borrower, it will subordinate or release its Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document (other than the Plant) to the holder of any Lien on such property that is permitted by Section 6.3(p) solely to the extent, and for so long as, the terms of the obligations secured by such Liens do not permit such property to be subject to a Lien in favor of the Administrative Agent or require that such Lien in favor of the Administrative Agent be subordinated to the Lien of the holder of such Lien on such property.

125

(d) At the request of the Borrower, it will subordinate its Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document (other than the Plant) to the holder of any Lien on such property that is permitted by Section 6.3(e), (f), (g), (i), (j), (s) or (y), in each case to the extent required by the terms of the obligations secured by such Liens, or with respect to which the Required Lenders (or such other Lenders as may be required to give such consent under Section 9.1) have otherwise consented.

(e) On the date that the Termination Conditions are satisfied, the Collateral shall be released from the Liens created by the Security Documents, and the Security Documents and all obligations (other than those expressly stated to survive such termination) of the Administrative Agent and each Loan Party under the Security Documents shall terminate, all without the need to deliver any instrument or performance of any act by any Person.

(f) It will promptly execute, authorize or file such documentation as may be reasonably requested by any Grantor to release or subordinate, or evidence the release or subordination (in registrable form, if applicable), its Liens with respect to any Collateral or the guarantee obligations of any Guarantor as set forth in this Section 9.22; provided that the foregoing shall be at the Borrower’s expense.

The Depositary Agent hereby agrees to act, as depositary agent, as “securities intermediary” (within the meaning of Section 8-102(a)(14) of the UCC) with respect to the Debt Service Reserve Account and the Financial Assets credited to such Debt Service Reserve Account, and as “bank” (within the meaning of 9-102(a)(8) of the UCC) with respect to the Debt Service Reserve Account and credit balances not constituting Financial Assets credited thereto and to accept all cash, payments, other amounts and Cash Equivalents to be delivered to or held by the Depositary Agent pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. The Depositary Agent shall hold and safeguard the Debt Service Reserve Account during the term of this Agreement in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.

Section 2.2 Establishment of the Debt Service Reserve Account. The Depositary Agent has established the following separate account (inclusive of any sub-account (which may include a separate internal ledger)), which shall be maintained at all times upon the date hereof in accordance with the terms of this Agreement until the Discharge Date as further set forth in Section 3.7: an account in the name of the Borrower entitled “Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx Senior Funding Inc. –LNG HOLDINGS (FLORIDA) LLC DEBT SERVICE RESERVE ACCT” with account number 876-021263 (the “Debt Service Reserve Account”);

The Depositary Agent shall not change the name or account number of the Debt Service Reserve Account without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and at least ten (10) Business Days’ prior notice to the Borrower. The Borrower shall at all times maintain, or cause to be maintained, the Debt Service Reserve Account with the Depositary Agent until the Discharge Date as further set forth in Section 3.6.

All amounts from time to time held in the Debt Service Reserve Account shall be disbursed solely in accordance with the terms hereof, shall constitute the property of the Borrower, and shall be (a) subject to the Lien of the Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) and (b) held in the sole custody and “control” (within the meaning of Section 8-106(d) or Section 9-104(a), as applicable, of the UCC) of the Administrative Agent for the purposes and on the terms set forth in this Agreement and all such amounts shall constitute a part of the Account Collateral and shall not constitute payment of any Obligations until applied as hereinafter provided.

The Administrative Agent hereby acknowledges that it has control of the Debt Service Reserve Account on behalf of the other Secured Parties.

Section 2.3 Security Interests.

(a) As collateral security for the prompt and complete payment and performance when due of all Obligations, the Borrower hereby pledges, assigns, hypothecates and transfers to the Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties), and grants to the Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties), a first-priority Lien on all of the Borrower’s right, title and interest in, to and under (i) the Debt Service Reserve Account and (ii) all Cash, instruments, investment property, securities, “security entitlements” (as defined in Section 8-102(a)(17) of the UCC) and other Financial Assets at any time on deposit in or credited to the Debt Service Reserve Account, including all income, earnings and distributions thereon and all proceeds, products and accessions of and to any and all of the foregoing, including whatever is received or receivable upon any collection, exchange, sale or other disposition of any of the foregoing and any Property into which any of the foregoing is converted, whether cash or non-cash proceeds, and any and all other amounts paid or payable under or in connection with any of the foregoing together with all books and records, credit files, computer files, programs, printouts and other computer materials and records to the extent related thereto and any “general intangibles” (as defined in Article 9 of the UCC) at any time to the extent evidencing or to the extent relating to any of the foregoing (collectively, the “Account Collateral”). The security interest of the Administrative Agent granted pursuant hereto shall at all times be valid, perfected and enforceable as a first priority security interest. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Borrower hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to file one or more UCC financing statements (including amendments thereto and continuations thereof) in such jurisdictions and filing offices and containing such description of Account Collateral as may be reasonably necessary in order to perfect the security interest granted herein.

(b) The Depositary Agent is the agent of the Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) for the purpose of receiving payments contemplated hereunder and for the purpose of perfecting the Lien of the Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) in and to the Debt Service Reserve Account and the other Account Collateral; provided that the Depositary Agent shall not be responsible to take any action to perfect such Lien except through the performance of its express obligations hereunder or upon the written direction of the Administrative Agent complying with this Agreement. This Agreement constitutes a “security agreement” as defined in Article 9 of the UCC.

Section 2.4 Debt Service Reserve Account Maintained as UCC “Securities Account”.

(a) The Depositary Agent hereby agrees and confirms that it has established the Debt Service Reserve Account as set forth and defined in this Agreement. The Depositary Agent agrees that (i) the Debt Service Reserve Account established by Depositary Agent is and will be maintained as a “securities account” (within the meaning of Section 8-501 of the UCC); (ii) the Depositary Agent will treat the Account Collateral, and all rights related thereto, now or hereafter deposited in or credited to the Debt Service Reserve Account as “financial assets” (within the meaning of Section 8-102(a)(9) of the UCC and together with all such property and rights, the “Financial Assets”), to be held by the Depositary Agent, acting as “securities intermediary” (as defined in Section 8-102(a)(14) of the UCC); (iii) the Borrower and the Administrative Agent are each an “entitlement holder” (within the meaning of Section 8-102(a)(7) of the UCC) in respect of Financial Assets credited to the Debt Service Reserve Account; (iv) all Financial Assets in registered form or payable to or to the order of and credited to the Debt Service Reserve Account shall be registered in the name of, payable to or to the order of, or specially endorsed to, the Depositary Agent or in blank, or credited to another securities account maintained in the name of the Depositary Agent as “securities intermediary” for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent; and (v) in no case will any Financial Asset credited to the Debt Service Reserve Account be registered in the name of, payable to or to the order of, or endorsed to, the Borrower except to the extent the foregoing have been subsequently endorsed by the Borrower to the Depositary Agent or in blank. Each item of Property (including a security, security entitlement, investment property, instrument or obligation, share, participation, interest or other property whatsoever) credited to the Debt Service Reserve Account shall to the fullest extent permitted by law be treated as a Financial Asset. Until the Discharge Date, the Administrative Agent shall have “control” (within the meaning of Section 8-106(d) or Section 9-104(a) (as applicable) of the UCC) of the Debt Service Reserve Account and the “security entitlements” (within the meaning of Section 8-102(a)(17) of the UCC) with respect to the Financial Assets credited to the Debt Service Reserve Account. All property delivered to the Depositary Agent pursuant to this Agreement will be promptly credited to the Debt Service Reserve Account. The Borrower hereby irrevocably directs, and the Depositary Agent (in its capacity as securities intermediary) hereby agrees, that the Depositary Agent will comply with all instructions and orders (including entitlement orders within the meaning of Section 8-102(a)(8) of the UCC) regarding the Debt Service Reserve Account and any Financial Asset therein originated by the Administrative Agent without the further consent of the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Person. In the case of a conflict between any instruction or order originated by the Administrative Agent and any instruction or order originated by the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Person other than a court of competent jurisdiction, the instruction or order originated by the Administrative Agent shall prevail. The Depositary Agent shall not change the entitlement holder in respect of any Financial Asset credited to any Account, which shall at all times be the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

(b) The Administrative Agent hereby agrees with the Borrower that the Administrative Agent will not originate any instruction or order (including entitlement orders within the meaning of Section 8-102(a)(8) of the UCC) regarding the Debt Service Reserve Account, any Financial Asset therein or any other amounts on deposit or credited thereto unless and until a Trigger Event has occurred and is continuing. The foregoing is solely the agreement between the Administrative Agent and the Borrower; therefore, such provision (i) in no way limits or modifies the Depositary Agent’s obligations under paragraph 2.4(a) herein and (ii) imposes no duty or obligation on the Depositary Agent to investigate or inquire of any party whether a Trigger Event has occurred and is continuing.

Section 2.5 Jurisdiction of Depositary Agent. The Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Depositary Agent agree that, for purposes of the UCC, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any other agreement relating to the establishment and operation of the Debt Service Reserve Account, the jurisdiction of the Depositary Agent (in its capacity as the securities intermediary and bank) is the State of New York and the laws of the State of New York govern the establishment and operation of the Debt Service Reserve Account.

Section 2.6 Degree of Care; Liens. The Depositary Agent shall exercise the same degree of care in administering the funds held in or credited to the Debt Service Reserve Account and the investments purchased with such funds in accordance with the terms of this Agreement as the Depositary Agent exercises in the ordinary course of its day-to-day business in administering other funds and investments for its own account and as required by Law. The Depositary Agent is not party to and shall not execute and deliver, or otherwise become bound by, any agreement under which the Depositary Agent agrees with any Person other than the Administrative Agent to comply with entitlement orders or instructions originated by such Person relating to the Debt Service Reserve Account or the Account Collateral that are the subject of this Agreement. The Depositary Agent shall not grant any Lien on any Financial Asset credited to the Debt Service Reserve Account.

Section 3.5 Disbursements to Pay Debt Service. On each date on which Debt Service is due under and in accordance with the Loan Documents, if the funds available for payment of Debt Service are not anticipated to be, or are not, adequate to pay the full amount of Debt Service due (any such shortfall, a “Debt Service Payment Deficiency”), then the Depositary Agent (at the direction of (A) the Borrower pursuant to a Withdrawal Certificate or (B) if the Borrower has not so delivered a Withdrawal Certificate by 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Business Day on which such amounts were due and not paid, the Administrative Agent) shall withdraw from the Debt Service Reserve Account and immediately transfer to the Administrative Agent cash in an amount equal to the Debt Service Payment Deficiency (or, if less, the aggregate amount of funds then on deposit in or credited to the Debt Service Reserve Account).

Any loss shall be charged to the Debt Service Reserve Account.

(b) In the event that at any time amounts are funded into the Debt Service Reserve Account after 1:00 P.M. (New York City time) on any Business Day, the Depositary Agent shall have no obligation to invest or reinvest such amounts on the date on which such amounts are funded. Instructions with respect to the investment of amounts received into the Debt Service Reserve Account after 1:00 P.M. (New York City time) may, in the sole discretion of the Depositary Agent, be deemed to apply for the following Business Day.

(c) If and when cash is required for the making of any transfer, disbursement or withdrawal in accordance with this Agreement, the Borrower shall cause Cash Equivalents to be sold or otherwise liquidated into cash (without regard to maturity) as and to the extent necessary in order to make such transfers, disbursements or withdrawals required pursuant to this Agreement. The Depositary Agent shall comply with any instruction from the Borrower with respect to the liquidation of such Cash Equivalents. In the event any such investments are so redeemed prior to the maturity thereof, neither the Depositary Agent nor the Administrative Agent shall be liable for any loss or penalties relating to any investment.

(d) For purposes of determining responsibility for any income tax payable on account of any income or gain on any Cash Equivalents hereunder, such income or gain shall be for the account of the Borrower.

Section 3.7 Disposition of the Debt Service Reserve Account upon Discharge Date. In the event that the Depositary Agent shall have received a certificate from the Administrative Agent stating that the Discharge Date shall have occurred (and the Administrative Agent agrees to deliver such certification to the Depositary Agent immediately upon the occurrence of the Discharge Date), all amounts remaining in the Debt Service Reserve Account shall be remitted to the Borrower or as otherwise directed in writing by the Borrower.

Section 3.8 Account Balance Statements.

(a) The Depositary Agent shall, on a monthly basis within 15 days after the end of each month, and at such other times as the Administrative Agent or a financial officer of the Borrower on a list to be provided to the Administrative Agent (which may be supplemented from time to time) may from time to time reasonably request, provide to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, fund balance statements in respect of the Debt Service Reserve Account and any sub-accounts. Such balance statement shall also include deposits, withdrawals and transfers from and to the Debt Service Reserve Account and any sub-account and the net investment income or gain received and collected in the Debt Service Reserve Account and each such sub-account. The Depositary Agent shall maintain records of all receipts, disbursements, and investments of funds with respect to the Debt Service Reserve Account until the third anniversary of the Discharge Date.

(b) Upon the Borrower’s election (which the Borrower hereby elects until further notice to the Depositary Agent), the Depositary Agent also hereby agrees to provide the Borrower and the Administrative Agent with electronic access to all bank and account statements related to the Debt Service Reserve Account (subject to the Borrower and Administrative Agent providing the Depositary Agent reasonable information that is needed to provide such Person with access to such system). Such statements will be delivered via the Depositary Agent’s online trust and custody service and while electing such service, paper statements will be provided only upon request.

(c) The Borrower waives the right to receive brokerage confirmations of security transactions effected by the Depositary Agent as they occur, to the extent permitted by Law. The Borrower and Administrative Agent further understands that trade confirmations for securities transactions effected by Depositary Agent will be available upon request and at no additional cost and other trade confirmations may be obtained from the applicable broker.

(a) On and after any date on which the Depositary Agent receives written notice from the Administrative Agent that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and that the Administrative Agent has been instructed by the requisite Lenders under the Credit Agreement to exercise any right or remedy in respect of the Debt Service Reserve Account (such action and application, a “Trigger Event,” and the date of receipt of such notice, the “Trigger Event Date”), notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Depositary Agent shall thereafter accept all notices and instructions required or permitted to be given to the Depositary Agent pursuant to the terms of this Agreement only from the Administrative Agent and not from the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Person and the Depositary Agent shall not withdraw, transfer, pay or otherwise distribute any monies in any of the Debt Service Reserve Account except pursuant to such notices and instructions from the Administrative Agent unless the Depositary Agent shall have received written notice from the Administrative Agent that such Event of Default has been waived, cured or no longer exists in accordance with the terms of the applicable Loan Documents, in which event the terms of this Section 3.9 shall thereafter be inapplicable to such Event of Default.

(b) Within three Business Days of a Trigger Event Date, the Depositary Agent shall, upon the receipt of a written request the Administrative Agent or the Borrower, provide a statement of all monies in the Debt Service Reserve Account as of such Trigger Event Date to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower.

As to any matters not expressly provided for by this Agreement (including enforcement of collection of the obligations of the Loan Parties), the Depositary Agent shall not be required to exercise any discretion or take any action, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the instructions of the Administrative Agent, and such instructions shall be binding upon all of the Secured Parties; provided, however, that the Depositary Agent shall not be required to take any action that exposes the Depositary Agent to personal liability or that is contrary to this Agreement or applicable law. The Depositary Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this Agreement and no implied duties or covenants shall be read against the Depositary Agent.

Whenever in the administration of this Agreement the Depositary Agent shall deem it necessary or desirable that a factual or legal matter be proved or established in connection with the Depositary Agent taking, suffering or omitting to take any action hereunder, such matter (unless other evidence in respect thereof is herein specifically prescribed) may be deemed to be conclusively proved or established by a certificate of a Responsible Officer of the Borrower or a certificate of an officer of the Administrative Agent, if appropriate. The Depositary Agent shall have the right at any time to seek instructions concerning the administration of this Agreement from the Administrative Agent, the Borrower or any other Loan Party.

The Depositary Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement in accordance with a request of the Administrative Agent, and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Secured Parties.

Section 4.4 Resignation or Removal.

(a) Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Depositary Agent as provided below, the Depositary Agent may resign at any time by giving 30 days’ written notice thereof to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower. The Depositary Agent may be removed at any time with or without cause by the Administrative Agent. So long as no Event of Default shall have then occurred and be continuing, the Borrower shall have the right to remove the Depositary Agent for cause upon 60 days’ notice to the Depositary Agent and the Administrative Agent, subject to the consent of the Administrative Agent (not to be unreasonably withheld). In the event that the Depositary Agent shall decline to take any action without first receiving adequate indemnity (as reasonably determined by the Depositary Agent) from the Borrower, the other Loan Parties or the Secured Parties and, having received an adequate indemnity, shall continue to decline to take such action, each of the Borrower, the other Loan Parties and the Administrative Agent shall be deemed to have sufficient cause to remove the Depositary Agent. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, no resignation or removal of the Depositary Agent shall be effective until (i) a successor Depositary Agent is appointed in accordance with this Section 4.4, (ii) the resigning or removed Depositary Agent has transferred to its successor all of its rights and obligations in its capacity as the Depositary Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and (iii) the successor Depositary Agent has executed and delivered an agreement to be bound by the terms hereof and perform all duties required of the Depositary Agent hereunder. Within 30 days of receipt of a written notice of any resignation or removal of the Depositary Agent, the Administrative Agent shall appoint a successor Depositary Agent with, so long as no Event of Default shall have then occurred and be continuing, the consent of the Borrower (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided that if the Borrower does not confirm such acceptance or reject such appointee in writing within 30 days following selection of such successor by the Administrative Agent, then it shall be deemed to have given acceptance thereof and such successor shall be deemed appointed as the Depositary Agent hereunder. If no successor Depositary Agent shall have been appointed by the Administrative Agent and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Depositary Agent’s giving of notice of resignation or the removal of the retiring Depositary Agent or if an Event of Default shall have then occurred and be continuing, then the retiring Depositary Agent may appoint a successor Depositary Agent, which shall be a bank or trust company which has an office in New York, New York and that has a combined capital surplus of at least $500,000,000 or at least $100,000,000 and is a wholly owned subsidiary of a bank or trust company that has a combined capital surplus of at least $500,000,000 and is reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent; provided that if the Administrative Agent does not confirm such acceptance or reject such appointee in writing within 30 days following selection of such successor by the retiring Depositary Agent, then it shall be deemed to have given acceptance thereof and such successor shall be deemed appointed as the Depositary Agent hereunder.

(b) Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Depositary Agent hereunder by the successor Depositary Agent, (i) such successor Depositary Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Depositary Agent, and the retiring Depositary Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and (ii) the retiring Depositary Agent shall promptly transfer all monies and Cash Equivalents within its possession or control to the possession or control of the successor Depositary Agent and shall execute and deliver such notices, instructions and assignments as may be necessary or desirable to transfer the rights of the Depositary Agent with respect to the monies and Cash Equivalents to the successor Depositary Agent. After the retiring Depositary Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder as Depositary Agent, the provisions of this Article IV and of Article V shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as Depositary Agent. Any corporation into which the Depositary Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Depositary Agent shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to the business of the Depositary Agent shall be the successor of the Depositary Agent hereunder without the execution or filing of any paper with any party hereto or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto except where an instrument of transfer or assignment is required by law to effect such succession, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding.

The parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.

2. Subordination. Each Creditor hereby agrees to subordinate all of the Subordinated Debt to the full and final payment and Discharge of Senior Debt (including, without limitation, with respect to any Lien granted by any Debtor in favor of any Creditor) on the terms set forth herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event of any distribution, division or application, partial or complete, voluntary or involuntary, by operation of law or otherwise, of all or any part of the assets of any Debtor or the proceeds thereof to any Creditor (except to the extent such distribution, division or application is permitted under the terms of the Credit Agreement) or upon any payment or distribution to any Creditor by reason of an Insolvency Proceeding, then and in any such event any payment or distribution of any kind or character, either in cash, securities or other property, which shall be payable or deliverable upon or with respect to any of the Subordinated Debt, shall be paid or delivered directly to the Agent for application to the Senior Debt (whether or not the same is then due) until the Discharge of Senior Debt. Each Debtor’s and each Creditor’s books shall be marked to evidence the subordination of all of the Subordinated Debt to the Senior Debt. The subordination provisions of this Section 2 shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any amendment, supplement, restatement, replacement, Refinancing or other modification with respect to the Credit Agreement and the Obligations of the Debtors thereunder (including, without limitation, all costs, expenses and interest accruing on the Senior Debt after the commencement of any Insolvency Proceeding whether or not such costs, expenses or interest would be allowed in such Insolvency Proceeding).

3. Nature of Senior Debt. Each Creditor acknowledges that the terms of the Senior Debt may be modified, extended or amended from time to time, and the aggregate amount of the Senior Debt may be increased or Refinanced, in either event, without notice to or the consent of any Creditor and without affecting the provisions hereof. The payment and lien priorities provided herein shall not be altered or otherwise affected by any such amendment, modification, supplement, extension, repayment, reborrowing, increase, replacement, renewal, restatement or Refinancing of either the Senior Debt or the Subordinated Debt, or any portion thereof.

4. Warranties and Representations of Debtor and Creditor. The Debtors and Creditors hereby represent and warrant that, as of the date hereof: (a) none of the Debtors nor any of the Creditors have relied nor will rely on any representation or information of any nature made by or received from the Agent or any Claimholder in deciding to execute this Agreement; (b) each Creditor is the lawful owner of its interest in the Subordinated Debt; (c) each Creditor has not heretofore assigned or transferred any of the Subordinated Debt, any interest therein or any collateral or security pertaining thereto; and (d) each Creditor has not heretofore given any subordination in respect of any of the Subordinated Debt that remains outstanding (other than any subordination with respect to the Senior Debt); and (e) any promissory note evidencing Subordinated Debt issued after the date hereof will be marked with a legend stating that it is subject to this Agreement.

5. Negative Covenants. Except as otherwise provided or permitted hereunder (including payments permitted to be made on account of the Subordinated Debt pursuant to Section 6), for so long as this Agreement is in effect: (a) no Debtor shall, directly or indirectly, make any payment (other than to a Loan Party and other than interest paid in kind and the accrual and addition to principal of capitalized interest) on account of the Subordinated Debt if an Event of Default under the Credit Agreement has occurred and is continuing and the Agent has given notice to the applicable Loan Parties prohibiting such payments (which notice shall be deemed to have been given immediately upon the commencement of any Insolvency Proceeding constituting an Event of Default under the Credit Agreement), or grant a security interest in, mortgage, pledge, assign or transfer any properties to secure all or any part of the Subordinated Debt; (b) no Creditor (other than a Loan Party) shall demand, collect or accept from any Debtor or any other Person or entity now or hereafter obligated, directly or indirectly, to the Agent or any Claimholder for payment or performance of the Senior Debt, any payment if an Event of Default under the Credit Agreement has occurred and is continuing and the Agent has given notice to the applicable Loan Parties prohibiting such payment (which notice shall be deemed to have been given immediately upon the commencement of any Insolvency Proceeding constituting an Event of Default under the Credit Agreement) (other than interest paid in kind and the accrual and addition to principal of capitalized interest) or collateral on account of the Subordinated Debt or any part thereof or realize upon or enforce any collateral securing the Subordinated Debt; (c) no Creditor shall set off any part of the Subordinated Debt if an Event of Default under the Credit Agreement has occurred and is continuing and the Agent has given notice to the applicable Loan Parties prohibiting such set off (which notice shall be deemed to have been given immediately upon the commencement of any Insolvency Proceeding constituting an Event of Default under the Credit Agreement); (d) no Creditor shall hereafter give any other subordination in respect of the Subordinated Debt, other than with respect to the Senior Debt; (e) no Creditor shall transfer or assign any of the Subordinated Debt to any Person, other than to the Agent or any LNG Group Member to the extent permitted by the Credit Agreement; (f) no Creditor will commence or join with any other creditors of any Debtor in commencing any bankruptcy, reorganization, receivership or Insolvency Proceeding against any Debtor; and (g) each Creditor shall give the Agent prompt written notice of any default or event of default under any promissory note or other agreement evidencing Subordinated Debt.

6. Payments. No payments (whether in cash or other property and whether received directly, indirectly or by set off, counterclaim or otherwise) of principal or interest of any nature (other than interest paid in kind and the accrual and addition to principal of capitalized interest) may be made on account of the Subordinated Debt or any promissory note evidencing Subordinated Debt if an Event of Default under the Credit Agreement has occurred and is continuing and the Agent has given notice to the applicable Loan Parties prohibiting such payments (which notice shall be deemed to have been given immediately upon the commencement of any Insolvency Proceeding constituting an Event of Default under the Credit Agreement), provided that any Debtor may make any payment on account of any Subordinated Debt due and owing to a Creditor that is also a Loan Party.

7. Turnover of Prohibited Transfers. If any payment, distribution or security or the proceeds thereof are received by any Creditor on account of or with respect to the Subordinated Debt in violation of this Agreement, such Creditor shall immediately deliver same to the Agent in the form received (except for the addition of any endorsement or assignment necessary to effect a transfer of all rights therein to the Agent) for application to the Senior Debt; provided, that, if such payments are in a form other than cash or cash equivalents (“Non-Cash Consideration”), the Agent, for the benefit of the Claimholders, shall be authorized to, but shall have no obligation to, monetize such Non-Cash Consideration in its sole discretion and any cash proceeds shall be applied to the Senior Debt. The application of such cash proceeds shall reduce the Senior Debt only to the extent of the actual cash payment indefeasibly received by the Claimholders, net of fees, costs and commissions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent any indemnification obligation or contingent obligation becomes due and payable after such time as the remainder of the Senior Debt are paid, such Creditor is obligated to turn over any such amounts to the Agent. The Agent is hereby authorized to make any such endorsements as agent for the applicable Creditor. This authorization is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable until the Discharge of Senior Debt. The Agent is irrevocably authorized to supply any required endorsement or assignment which may have been omitted to the extent that the same would have been required by any Creditor hereunder. Until so delivered any such payment, distribution or security shall be held by such Creditor in trust for Agent and shall not be commingled with other funds or property of such Creditor.

8. Authority to Act for Creditors. Prior to the Discharge of Senior Debt, Agent shall have the right to act as each Creditor’s attorney-in-fact for the purposes specified herein and each Creditor hereby irrevocably appoints the Agent as such Creditor’s true and lawful attorney, which appointment is coupled with an interest, with full power of substitution, in the name of such Creditor or in the name of the Agent, for the use and benefit of the Agent for itself and on behalf of the Claimholders, without notice to any Creditor or any Creditor’s representatives, successors or assigns, to perform the following acts, at the Agent’s option, at any meeting of any Creditor or any Debtor in connection with any case or proceeding, whether of a Debtor or of a Creditor, whether voluntary or involuntary, for the distribution, division or application of the assets of any Debtor or the proceeds thereof, regardless of whether such case or proceeding is for the liquidation, dissolution, winding up of the affairs, reorganization or arrangement of any Debtor, or for the composition of any Debtor, in bankruptcy or in connection with a receivership, or under an assignment for the benefit of any Creditor or otherwise:

(a) to enforce and collect on claims comprising the Subordinated Debt, either in its own name or in the name of any Creditor, by proof of debt, proof of claim, adversary proceeding, motion, suit or otherwise;

(b) to collect any assets of any Debtor distributed, divided or applied by way of dividend or payment, or any securities issued, on account of the Subordinated Debt and to apply the same, or the proceeds of any realization upon the same that the Agent in its discretion elects to effect, to the Senior Debt until the Discharge of Senior Debt, rendering any surplus to the applicable Creditors if and to the extent permitted by law; and

(c) to take generally any action in connection with any such meeting, case or proceeding that such Creditor would be authorized to take but for this Agreement, including without limitation casting any votes or ballots with respect to the Subordinated Debt.

Anything in this Section 8 to the contrary notwithstanding, the Agent agrees that it will not exercise any rights under the power of attorney provided for in this Section 8 with respect to any Creditor unless an Event of Default by an Obligor shall have occurred and be continuing under the Credit Agreement. In no event shall the Agent be liable to any Creditor for any failure to prove or file proofs of claim with respect to the Subordinated Debt, to exercise any right with respect thereto or to collect any sums payable thereon.

9. Waivers. If any Creditor is or becomes indebted to any Debtor in any respect, whether now or in the future, then such Creditor shall not offset its indebtedness to such Debtor against any Subordinated Debt if an Event of Default under the Credit Agreement has occurred and is continuing and the Agent has given notice to the applicable Loan Parties prohibiting such offset (which notice shall be deemed to have been given immediately upon the commencement of any Insolvency Proceeding constituting an Event of Default under the Credit Agreement). Furthermore, no Debtor shall compromise or settle any present or future debts that any Creditor may owe to such Debtor if an Event of Default under the Credit Agreement has occurred and is continuing and the Agent has given notice to the applicable Loan Parties prohibiting such compromise or settlement (which notice shall be deemed to have been given immediately upon the commencement of any Insolvency Proceeding constituting an Event of Default under the Credit Agreement) unless the Agent shall grant its prior written consent to the same. Each Debtor and each Creditor hereby waive any defense based on the adequacy of a remedy at law which might be asserted as a bar to the remedy of specific performance of this Agreement in any action brought therefor by Agent. To the fullest extent permitted by law, each Debtor and each Creditor hereby further waive the following: presentment, demand, protest, notice of default or dishonor, notice of payment or nonpayment and any and all other notices and demands of any kind in connection with all negotiable instruments evidencing all or any portion of the Senior Debt or the Subordinated Debt to which such Debtor or such Creditor may be a party; the right to require Agent to xxxxxxxx any security, or to enforce any security interest or lien the Agent may now or hereafter have in any collateral securing the Senior Debt or to pursue any claim it may have against any guarantor of the Senior Debt, as a condition to the Agent’s entitlement to receive any payment on account of the Subordinated Debt; notice of any loans made, extensions granted or other action taken in reliance hereon; and all other demands and notices of every kind in connection with this Agreement, the Senior Debt or the Subordinated Debt. Each Creditor assents to any release, renewal, extension, compromise or postponement of the time of payment to the Senior Debt, to any substitution, exchange or release of collateral therefor and to the addition or release of any Person primarily or secondarily liable thereon (collectively, the “Consented Actions”). Each Debtor agrees to use its best efforts to give such Creditor notice of any Consented Actions, but the failure of such Creditor to receive such notice from such Debtor shall in no way affect the validity or enforceability of the subordination granted hereunder, or the agreements, consents or waivers of such Creditor set forth in this Agreement.

10. Subrogation. Provided that the Discharge of Senior Debt has occurred, each Creditor shall be subrogated to the rights of the Agent to receive payments or distributions of cash, property or securities payable or distributable on account of the Senior Debt, to the extent of all payments and distributions paid over to or for the benefit of Agent pursuant to this Agreement.

11. Statement of Account. Each Debtor and each Creditor agree to render to the Agent from time to time upon the Agent’s reasonable written request therefor a statement of such Debtor’s account with such Creditor and to afford each Agent reasonable access to the books and records of such Debtor during normal business hours in order that the Agent may make a full examination of the state of accounts of such Debtor with such Creditor.

12. Validity of Subordinated and Senior Debt. The provisions of this Agreement subordinating the Subordinated Debt are solely for the purpose of defining the relative rights of the Agent and Claimholders, on the one hand, and the Creditors, on the other hand, and shall not impair, as between each Creditor and each Debtor or between the Agent and Claimholders and the Debtors, the Borrower or other Obligors, the obligations of Debtors, the Borrower or other Obligors which are unconditional and absolute, to pay the Subordinated Debt and the Senior Debt, respectively, in accordance with their terms subject to the provisions of this Agreement.

13. Indulgences Not Waivers. Neither the failure nor any delay on the part of the Agent or any Claimholder to exercise any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof or give rise to an estoppel, nor be construed as an agreement to modify the terms of this Agreement, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege with respect to any occurrence be construed as a waiver of such right, remedy, power or privilege with respect to any other occurrence. No waiver by a party hereunder shall be effective unless it is in writing and signed by the party making such waiver, and then only to the extent specifically stated in such writing.

14. Effectiveness; Duration. This Agreement shall become effective when executed by each Debtor and each Creditor, and, when so executed, shall constitute a continuing agreement of subordination, and shall remain in effect until the Discharge of Senior Debt. Claimholders may, without notice to any Creditor, extend or continue credit and make other financial accommodations to or for the account of the Debtors in reliance upon this Agreement. If, in the context of any Insolvency Proceeding, the Agent is required to or agrees to disgorge any payments received by the Agent on account of the Senior Debt, the transfer of which is challenged as avoidable by a trustee or debtor-in-possession, such amount shall be deemed not to be paid to the Agent and this Agreement shall remain in effect with respect to any such disgorged payments.

15. Default and Enforcement. This Agreement shall create an irrebuttable presumption and admission by each Creditor that relief against such Creditor by injunction, specific performance and/or other appropriate equitable relief is necessary to prevent irreparable harm to the Claimholders, it being understood and agreed by each Creditor that (i) the Claimholders’ damages from its actions may at that time be difficult to ascertain and may be irreparable, and (ii) such Creditor waives any defense that the Obligors and/or the Claimholders cannot demonstrate damage and/or be made whole by the awarding of damages. If at any time any Creditor fails to comply with any provision of this Agreement that is applicable to such Creditor, Agent may demand specific performance of this Agreement, whether or not any Debtor has complied with this Agreement, and may exercise any other remedy available at law or equity. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if any Creditor, in violation of this Agreement, shall institute or participate in any action, suit or proceeding against any Debtor, such Debtor may interpose as a defense or dilatory plea this Agreement and Agent is irrevocably authorized to intervene and to interpose such defense or plea in such Debtor’s name. If any Creditor attempts to enforce or realize upon any collateral securing the Subordinated Debt in violation of this Agreement, any Debtor or Agent (in such Debtor’s or any applicable Agent’s name) may by virtue of this Agreement restrain such realization or enforcement.

16. Exercise of Remedies. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Credit Agreement or the other Senior Loan Documents, until the Discharge of Senior Debt has occurred, the Creditors shall not (i) take or omit to take any action or assert any claim with respect to the Subordinated Debt or otherwise (or support any other Person in taking any action or asserting any claim) which is inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement, (ii) take any action or enforce any rights or remedies against the Loan Parties or any collateral securing the Senior Debt, (iii) exercise any rights to set-offs or recoupments and/or counterclaims in respect of any of the Subordinated Debt or any other obligation with respect thereto, or (iv) accept any additional collateral without the Senior Claimholders obtaining prior ranking liens on such collateral.

17. Assumption and Releases.

(a) Any party that elects to become a party to this Agreement shall become either a Creditor or Debtor for all purposes of this Agreement upon execution and delivery of an assumption agreement in the form of Annex C hereto.

(b) If in connection with any action by the Agent to enforce the rights and remedies of the Claimholders (whether against the collateral or otherwise), the Agent or any other Claimholder, for itself or on behalf of any of the Claimholders, releases any of its liens on any part of the collateral or releases any Obligor from its obligations under the Senior Debt, then the liens, if any, of any Creditor on such collateral, and the obligations, if any, of such Obligor as a guarantor under any Subordinated Debt, shall be automatically, unconditionally and simultaneously released. Each Creditor promptly shall execute and deliver to the Agent or such Debtor such termination statements, releases and other documents as the Agent, applicable Claimholder or such Debtor may request to effectively confirm such release.

18. No Motions. In connection with an Insolvency Proceeding, without the prior written consent of the Agent as to both form and substance, no Creditor shall file any motion or other application, objection, joinder or other filing in connection with sections 362, 363, 364 and/or 506 of the Bankruptcy Code (or any equivalent section of other Bankruptcy Law) or otherwise or in connection with any valuation issues, marshalling issues or otherwise make any filing adverse to the interests of the Claimholders, including, without limitation, motions seeking adequate protection, relief from the automatic stay, expense claims, motions requesting post-petition interest and/or similar relief sought pursuant to other Bankruptcy Laws. No Creditor will participate in or otherwise support the “priming” of, or granting of any “pari passu” liens with respect to, any of the liens supporting the Senior Debt in connection with a proposed debtor-in- possession facility or otherwise.

19. Effectiveness in Insolvency Proceedings. This Agreement, which the parties hereto expressly acknowledge is a “subordination agreement” under Section 510(a) of the Bankruptcy Code (or substantially equivalent or similar provisions and concepts in other Bankruptcy Laws) shall be effective before, during and after the commencement of an Insolvency Proceeding. All references in this Agreement to any Debtor or Obligor shall include such Person as a debtor-in-possession and any receiver or trustee for such Person in any Insolvency Proceeding.

20. Litigation. In the event of any litigation with respect to any matter concerned with this Agreement, each Debtor hereby waives all rights of setoff, crossclaim and counterclaim of any nature. Each Creditor and each Debtor hereby irrevocably consents to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Courts of the State of New York and of any Federal court located in the State of New York, in connection with any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement. The exclusive choice of forum set forth herein shall not be deemed to preclude the enforcement of any judgment obtained in such forum or the taking of any action under this Agreement to enforce the same in any appropriate jurisdiction.

21. Addresses for Notices. Except in the case of notices and other communications expressly permitted to be given by telephone, all notices and other communications to any party herein to be effective shall be in writing and shall be delivered by hand or overnight courier service, mailed by certified or registered mail or sent by telecopy, with respect to any Debtor, Creditor or the Agent as set forth in the Credit Agreement. Any party hereto may change its address or telecopy number for notices and other communications hereunder by notice to the other parties hereto. All such notices and other communications may be transmitted by overnight delivery, faxed, or mailed, provided, that notices shall not be effective until actually received by such Person at its address specified in this section.

22. Agent’s Duties Limited. The rights granted to the Agent in this Agreement are solely for its protection and nothing herein contained imposes on the Agent any duties with respect to any property either of any Debtor or of any Creditor heretofore or hereafter received by the Agent beyond reasonable care in the custody and preservation of such property while in the Agent’s possession. The Agent has no duty to preserve rights against prior parties on any instrument or chattel paper received from any Debtor or any Creditor as collateral security for the Senior Debt or any portion thereof.

23. Continuing Nature of this Agreement. Each Creditor hereby waives any right it may have under applicable law to revoke this Agreement or any of the provisions of this Agreement. The terms of this Agreement shall survive, and shall continue in full force and effect, in any Insolvency Proceeding.

24. Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes and expresses the entire understanding between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements and understandings, inducements or conditions, whether express or implied, oral or written. Neither this Agreement nor any portion or provision hereof may be changed, waived or amended orally or in any manner other than by an agreement in writing signed by the Agent, Debtors and Creditors. None of the parties hereto are entering into this Agreement in reliance on any oral or other representations made by other parties or other Persons.

25. Additional Documentation. Each Debtor and each Creditor shall execute and deliver to the Agent such further instruments and shall take such further action as Agent may at any time or times reasonably request in order to carry out the provisions and intent of this Agreement.
