RECITALS

WHEREAS, reference is made to the Amended and Restated Note Purchase Agreement,
dated as of March 1, 2015 (as amended, amended and restated, modified or
supplemented prior to the date hereof, the “Note Purchase Agreement”), among
Issuer and the other parties thereto;

and refinance its existing senior debt;

WHEREAS, Issuer will concurrently amend the terms of the Common Terms Agreement

Common Terms Agreement as in effect on the CTA Signing Date) and amend certain
provisions relating to a Fundamental Event of Default;

“Material Project Agreements” means:

 

  (a) the Initial LNG SPAs,

 

  (b) the Second Phase LNG SPAs (as defined in the Train 3 Finance Documents),

  (n) any Subsequent Material Project Agreement;

in each case as amended, amended and restated or otherwise modified from time to
time in accordance with the terms of the Permitted Senior Debt Documents and
this Agreement.

(b)    The following defined term shall be inserted into Section 1.1 of the Note
Purchase Agreement in appropriate alphabetical order:

“Train 3 Finance Documents” means the amended and restated Term Loan Facility
Agreement and the amended and restated Common Terms Agreement in the forms
attached as Exhibit A and Exhibit B, respectively, to Amendment No. 3 to the
Amended and Restated Note Purchase Agreement, dated May 22, 2018, among Issuer,
Parent, Agent and the Note Holders party thereto.

(c)    The following language shall be inserted in the Note Purchase Agreement
as Section 3.3B(vii):

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(vii) Until the Date Certain, if CCH is or would be required, pursuant to the
terms of the CCH Senior Financing Documents (as amended by the Train 3 Finance
Documents) or other Permitted Senior Debt Documents as in effect on the date
hereof, to make (or offer to make) a mandatory prepayment (including as a result
of a mandatory offer) of Senior Debt as a result of the occurrence of an LNG SPA
Prepayment Event resulting from failure to achieve the “date of first commercial
delivery” deadlines under and as defined in the Initial LNG SPAs (without regard
to any waiver or amendment of such mandatory prepayment requirement or rejection
of any offer to prepay by the holders of the Senior Debt and including as a
“mandatory prepayment” for purposes of this clause (vii), any voluntary
prepayment made by CCH prior to the Date Certain (which shall be deemed for this
purpose to be made at the time the corresponding mandatory prepayment would have
been made) in anticipation of or in connection with the termination of a
Qualifying LNG SPA for a failure to achieve the “date of first commercial
delivery” deadline under such Qualifying SPA that has the effect of reducing or
eliminating the amount of Senior Debt that would otherwise have been mandatorily
prepaid as a result of an LNG SPA Prepayment Event arising due to the
termination of such Qualifying LNG SPA as a result of a failure to achieve the
“date of first commercial delivery” deadline thereunder), then (A) the Issuer
shall make a pro rata offer to repurchase the Notes at par pursuant to
Section 3.3B(vi) of the Note Purchase Agreement in an aggregate amount equal to
(1) the amount of Senior Debt that is or would be required to be so prepaid
divided by (2) the aggregate amount of Senior Debt then outstanding on the date
of the LNG SPA Prepayment Event, multiplied by (3) the aggregate principal
amount of the Notes then outstanding on the date of the LNG SPA Prepayment Event
and (B) the Issuer shall, following the time period specified in the applicable
CCH Senior Financing Documents for such prepayment to occur (including following
any relevant offer period), make a further pro rata offer to repurchase the
Notes at par pursuant to Section 3.3B(vi) in an amount equal to the amount of
Senior Debt required (or that would, absent a waiver, have been required) to be
prepaid in connection with such LNG SPA Prepayment Event that was not ultimately
applied towards prepayment of any Senior Debt due to the holders of such Senior
Debt not accepting or waiving such prepayment.

References in this clause (vii) to “Date Certain”, “Initial LNG SPA” “LNG SPA
Prepayment Event” and “Senior Debt”, are in each case references to those terms
as they are defined in the Train 3 Finance Documents. In no case shall the
amount offered to repurchase the Notes pursuant to this clause (vii) exceed the
aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding on the date that notice
of prepayment is provided to the Note Holders, plus accrued and unpaid interest
thereon, if any, to, but excluding, the Offer Settlement Date.

(d)    Section 3.3B(vi)(a) of the Note Purchase Agreement shall be hereby
deleted and replaced with the following:

(a) Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control or within five Business Days
after the occurrence of any event described in subsection 3.3B(i), (iii) (iv) or
(vii) requiring Issuer to make an offer to redeem and prepay the Notes, Issuer
shall prepare and provide to each Note Holder a notice (each, an “Offer to Repay
Notice”), which shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit E and shall
include an offer (the “Offer to

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Repay”) pursuant to the covenant in subsections (i), (ii), (iii), (iv) or
(vii) as applicable, to repay, on the date (each, an “Offer Settlement Date”)
that is twenty (20) Business Days, after the date of the Offer to Repay Notice,
(A) in the case of an event described in subsection (i), (iii) or (iv) above,
the maximum principal amount of Notes that may be purchased with the amounts
described in such subsections (or in the case of subsection (iii) above, the
amount described in subsection 7.6A), at an offer price in cash in an amount
equal to 100% of the outstanding principal amount thereof plus accrued and
unpaid interest thereon, if any, to, but excluding, the Offer Settlement Date
plus the Yield Maintenance Amount with respect thereto, (B) in the case of an
event described in subsection (ii) above, 101% of the outstanding principal
amount of the Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to, but
excluding, the Offer Settlement Date or (C) in the case of an event described in
subsection (vii) the maximum principal amount of Notes that may be purchased
with the amounts described in such subsection, at an offer price in cash in an
amount equal to 100% of the outstanding principal amount thereof plus accrued
and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to, but excluding, the Offer Settlement
Date. Each Note Holder (or its appointee) wishing to accept all or any portion
of the Offer to Repay shall reply, substantially in the form of Schedule 1 to
Exhibit E, indicating whether such Offer to Repay is accepted by 5:00 p.m.
(Houston time) on the fifth Business Day immediately preceding the Offer
Settlement Date. Each Note Holder accepting the Offer to Repay shall surrender
such Note Holder’s Note to Issuer and, if required, furnish appropriate
endorsements and transfer documents.

(e)    Exhibit E of the Note Purchase Agreement shall be hereby deleted and
replaced with Exhibit E attached hereto.

Section 3.    Miscellaneous.

(a)    Except as expressly set forth herein, this Amendment shall not alter,
modify, amend or in any way affect any of the terms, conditions, obligations,
covenants or agreements contained in the Note Purchase Agreement, all of which
are ratified and affirmed in all respects and shall continue in full force and
effect. All references to the “Note Purchase Agreement” or the “Amended and
Restated Note Purchase Agreement” in this Amendment and the other Note Documents
shall be deemed to be references to the Note Purchase Agreement as amended by
this Amendment. This Amendment does not, except as explicitly set forth herein,
constitute a waiver of compliance with, or modification or amendment of, any
other term or condition under the Note Purchase Agreement. This Amendment is an
“Additional Note Document”.

(b)     Section and subsection headings in this Amendment are included herein
for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part of this
Amendment for any other purpose or be given any substantive effect.

(c)    This Amendment and any claims, controversy, dispute or cause of action
(whether sounding in contract, tort or otherwise) based upon, arising out of or
relating to this Amendment and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be
governed by, and be construed in accordance with, the law of the State of New
York without giving effect to any choice of law principles that would apply the
laws of another jurisdiction. The provisions of Section 12.21 of the Note
Purchase Agreement shall apply with like effect to this Amendment.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(d)     This Amendment may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties
hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original,
but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single agreement. This
Amendment constitutes the entire agreement among the parties hereto relating to
the subject matter hereof and supersedes any and all previous agreements and
understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. The
delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Amendment by
facsimile or other electronic transmission shall be as effective as the delivery
of a manually executed counterpart of this Amendment.

except by the written agreement of all of the parties hereto.
