(b) During the Advisory Period, the Consultant shall provide services as a consultant to the Company, which shall include, but will not be limited to, making himself available to the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”), Executive Chairman, and Chief Executive Officer to provide advisory services to the Company Group regarding the “Driftwood” project or any other project, as may be reasonably requested from time to time by the Company (collectively, the “Services”).

The Consultant shall devote the Consultant’s business time and best efforts to providing the Services during the Advisory Period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it shall not be a violation of this Section 1.1(c) for the Consultant to (i) manage the Consultant’s personal investments and family affairs; (ii) participate or engage in businesses that are not natural gas, liquefied natural gas (LNG), hydrogen, ammonia or alternative fuel-related businesses; or (iii) perform and participate in civic, community, charitable, educational, religious, or other related activities, so long as such activities described in the foregoing clauses (i) through (iii) do not, individually or collectively, (x) materially interfere with the Consultant’s duties and responsibilities to the Company Group, (y) create an actual or potential conflict of interest with, or result in an adverse effect or material injury to, the business interests or goodwill of the Company Group, or (z) violate the Consultant’s obligations under this Agreement or the Retirement Agreement.
(d) Except as set forth in Section 1.3(b), the Consultant shall furnish, at Consultant’s own expense, the equipment, supplies, and other materials used to perform the Services.
1.2 Advisory Period. The term of this Agreement (the “Advisory Period”) shall commence on July 18, 2022 and shall automatically expire at the close of business on the second (2nd) anniversary thereof (such second (2nd) anniversary, the “Expiration Date”), unless earlier terminated in accordance with ARTICLE V; provided, that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if the Consultant fails to timely execute and deliver the Retirement Agreement (including Annex B attached thereto) in accordance with its terms, or if the Consultant timely revokes the Retirement Agreement (or Annex B attached thereto) in accordance with its terms, then this Agreement shall automatically terminate and become null and void ab initio, and neither Party shall have any further obligation or liability hereunder.
1.3 Fees and Expenses.
(a) As compensation for the Services and the rights granted to the Company in this Agreement, the Company shall pay the Consultant an annualized advisory fee of $250,000 during the Advisory Period, paid in substantially equal monthly installments in arrears within thirty (30) days following the end of each calendar month during the Advisory Period (the “Advisory Fees”). The Consultant acknowledges that the Consultant will receive an IRS Form 1099-NEC (or equivalent successor form) from the Company with respect to the Advisory Fees, and that the Consultant shall be solely responsible for all federal, state, local, and non-U.S. taxes relating thereto, as set out in Section 2.1(b).

1.4 Full Consideration. The compensation payable and provided to the Consultant under this Agreement shall constitute the full consideration to be paid to the Consultant for the provision of all Services.
ARTICLE II
INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR RELATIONSHIP
2.1 Relationship of the Parties.
(a) The Consultant is an independent contractor of the Company, and this Agreement shall not be construed to create any association, partnership, joint venture, employee, or agency relationship between the Consultant and the Company for any purpose. The Consultant has no authority (and shall not hold himself out as having authority) to bind the Company or any other member of the Company Group, and the Consultant shall not make any agreements or representations on the Company Group’s behalf without the Company’s prior written consent.
(b) Without limiting Section 2.1(a), the Consultant will not be eligible to participate in any group medical or life insurance, disability, profit sharing, or retirement benefits, or any other fringe benefits, benefit plans, or bonus or compensation programs offered by the Company to its employees (but, for the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing shall not be construed as limiting the Consultant’s ability to elect continuation coverage pursuant to the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, as amended, in connection with the Consultant’s termination of employment with the Company Group as described in the Retirement Agreement, at the Consultant’s sole cost and expense and in accordance with the applicable Company Group health and welfare benefit plans). Without limitation of the foregoing, in the event that the Consultant’s relationship to the Company Group during the Advisory Period is reclassified as an employment relationship, the Consultant hereby expressly waives participation in any of the foregoing employee benefit, bonus, or compensation plans, programs, or arrangements. In addition, the Company Group will not be responsible for withholding or paying any federal, state, local, or non-U.S. income taxes, required withholdings, Social Security and other payroll taxes, or other required deductions under federal, state, local, or non-U.S. regulation, or making any insurance contributions, including for unemployment or disability, or obtaining workers’ compensation insurance on the Consultant’s behalf. The Consultant shall be responsible for all such taxes, contributions, and amounts, and shall indemnify and hold the Company Group harmless against any liability arising from the failure to withhold or make payment of such amounts, including as may be claimed or assessed by any taxing authority and including any related fines, penalties, and reasonable attorneys’ fees. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Consultant acknowledges and agrees that the Company will report any payments under the Retirement Agreement (including, without limitation, any payments in respect of the CIP Award and the Outstanding ICP LTI Award, each as defined in the Retirement Agreement) on an IRS Form W-2 (or applicable successor form), and all such payments shall be subject to all applicable withholdings and other deductions as described in Section 22 of the Retirement Agreement.
(c) Any doubt as to the construction of this Agreement shall be resolved to maintain the Consultant’s status as an independent contractor of the Company.

(a) The Company is and will be the sole and exclusive owner of all right, title, and interest throughout the world in and to all the results and proceeds of the Services performed under this Agreement (collectively, the “Deliverables”) and all other writings, technology, inventions, discoveries, processes, techniques, methods, ideas, concepts, research, proposals, and materials, and all other work product of any nature whatsoever, that are created, prepared, produced, authored, edited, modified, conceived, or reduced to practice in the course of performing the Services or other work performed in connection with the Services or this Agreement (collectively, and including the Deliverables, the “Work Product”) including all patents, copyrights, trademarks (together with the goodwill symbolized thereby), trade secrets, know-how, and other confidential or proprietary information, and other intellectual property rights (collectively, the “Intellectual Property Rights”) therein. The Consultant agrees that the Work Product is hereby deemed “work made for hire” as defined in 17 U.S.C. § 101 for the Company, and all copyrights therein automatically and immediately vest in the Company. If, for any reason, any Work Product does not constitute “work made for hire,” the Consultant hereby irrevocably assigns to the Company, for no additional consideration, the Consultant’s entire right, title, and interest throughout the world in and to such Work Product, including all Intellectual Property Rights therein, including the right to sue for past, present, and future infringement, misappropriation, or dilution thereof.
(b) To the extent any copyrights are assigned under Section 2.2(a), the Consultant hereby irrevocably waives in favor of the Company, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any and all claims the Consultant may now or hereafter have in any jurisdiction to all rights of paternity or attribution, integrity, disclosure, and withdrawal and any other rights that may be known as “moral rights” in relation to all Work Product to which the assigned copyrights apply.
(c) Upon the request of the Company, during and after the Advisory Period, the Consultant shall promptly take such further actions, including execution and delivery of all appropriate instruments of conveyance, and provide such further cooperation, as may be necessary to assist the Company to apply for, prosecute, register, maintain, perfect, record, or enforce its rights in any Work Product and all Intellectual Property Rights therein. In the event the Company is unable, after reasonable effort, to obtain the Consultant’s signature on any such documents, the Consultant hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Company as the Consultant’s agent and attorney-in-fact, to act for and on the Consultant’s behalf solely to execute and file any such application or other document and do all other lawfully permitted acts to further the prosecution and issuance of patents, copyrights, or other intellectual property protection related to the Work Product with the same legal force and effect as if the Consultant had executed them. The Consultant agrees that this power of attorney is coupled with an interest.
(d) As between the Consultant and the Company, the Company is, and will remain, the sole and exclusive owner of all right, title, and interest in and to any documents, specifications, data, know-how, methodologies, software, and other materials provided to the Consultant by the Company (collectively, the “Company Materials”), including all Intellectual Property Rights therein. The Consultant has no right or license to use, publish, reproduce, prepare derivative works based upon, distribute, perform, or display any Company Materials except solely during the Advisory Period to the extent necessary to perform the Consultant’s obligations under this Agreement. All other rights in and to the Company Materials are expressly reserved by the Company. The Consultant has no right or license to use the Company’s trademarks, service marks, trade names, logos, symbols, or brand names.
