 AMENDED AND RESTATED PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT 

This AMENDED AND RESTATED PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated as of August 9, 2012, is entered
into by and among (a) Cheniere Pipeline Company, a Delaware corporation (“Cheniere GP Seller”), and Grand Cheniere Pipeline, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Cheniere LP Seller”, and together with
Cheniere GP Seller, the “Seller Parties”), on the one hand, (b) Cheniere Energy Partners, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “Partnership” or the “Buyer”), on the other hand, and
(c) solely for the purposes of Sections 5.5 and 5.6 and Article VII, Cheniere Energy, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“CEI”). The above-named entities are sometimes referred to in this Agreement each as a “Party”
and collectively as the “Parties.” 
 WHEREAS, Cheniere GP Seller owns 100% of the member interests of Cheniere
Pipeline GP Interests, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Cheniere CTP GP”) and sole general partner of Cheniere Creole Trail Pipeline, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“CCTP”); 

WHEREAS, Cheniere LP Seller owns all of the outstanding limited partner interests in CCTP; 

WHEREAS, the Parties had entered into that certain Purchase and Sale Agreement, dated as of May 14, 2012, which they desire to amend
and restate in accordance with the terms set forth herein; 
 WHEREAS, on the terms and conditions set forth herein, Cheniere GP
Seller desires to sell, assign, transfer and convey to Buyer, and Buyer desires to accept and purchase, all of Cheniere GP Seller’s right, title and interest in and to all of the membership interests of Cheniere CTP GP (the “Cheniere GP
Interest”), free and clear of all Encumbrances, other than Permitted Encumbrances, in exchange for cash consideration in the amount of $1,000; 
 WHEREAS, on the terms and conditions set forth herein, Cheniere LP Seller desires to sell, assign, transfer and convey to Buyer, and Buyer desires to accept and purchase, all of Cheniere LP Seller’s
right, title and interest in and to all of the limited partner interests in CCTP (the “CCTP LP Interests”, and together with the Cheniere GP Interest, the “Assigned Interests”), free and clear of all Encumbrances,
other than the Permitted Encumbrances, in exchange for cash consideration in the amount of $479,999,000; 
 WHEREAS, Buyer has
agreed to reimburse the Seller Parties for all expenditures incurred by CCTP in connection with the Specified Purpose (as defined herein) if the Closing occurs; 
 WHEREAS, immediately following the assignments of the Assigned Interests described above, the Partnership shall issue to Cheniere Class B Units Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the

 WHEREAS, the parties intend to treat the assignments of the Assigned Interests and the issuance of the Class B Units described above as two separate transactions for U.S. federal







 
income tax purposes: (a) first as a taxable sale by the Seller Parties to the Partnership of 100% of the CCTP assets for $480,000,000, and (b) second as a separate contribution by the
Purchaser of $180,000,000 to the Partnership in exchange for 12,000,000 Class B Units pursuant to the CEI Subscription Agreement; and 
 WHEREAS, immediately following the assignments of the Assigned Interests and the consummation of the CEI Subscription Agreement described above, pursuant to a contribution agreement to be entered into,
the Partnership will contribute its rights to the Assigned Interests to Cheniere Energy Investments, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and wholly owned subsidiary of Buyer. 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual covenants set forth herein, and other good and valuable consideration,
the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows: 
 ARTICLE I. 
 CONTRIBUTION OF ASSIGNED INTERESTS, CASH CONSIDERATION AND

 ASSUMPTION OF LIABILITIES 
 1.1 Contributions of Assigned Interests. 
 (a) At the Closing,
(i) Cheniere GP Seller shall irrevocably sell, assign, transfer and convey to the Partnership all of Cheniere GP Seller’s right, title and interest in and to the Cheniere GP Interest, free and clear of all Encumbrances, other than
Encumbrances under the Charter Documents of the Subject Entities and (ii) the Partnership shall accept and purchase such Cheniere GP Interest for its own account in exchange for the GP Consideration. The certificate representing the Cheniere GP
Interest shall be duly endorsed in blank or accompanied by a membership interest assignment separate from certificate, as applicable, duly executed in blank by Cheniere GP Seller, in a form reasonably acceptable to the Partnership, with all
necessary transfer tax or other revenue stamps, acquired at Seller Parties’ expense, affixed and canceled. 
 (b) At the
Closing, (i) Cheniere LP Seller shall irrevocably sell, assign, transfer and convey to the Partnership all of Cheniere LP Seller’s right, title and interest in and to the CCTP LP Interests, free and clear of all Encumbrances, other than
Encumbrances under the Charter Documents of the Subject Entities and (ii) the Partnership shall accept and purchase such CCTP LP Interests for its own account in exchange for the LP Consideration. The certificate representing the CCTP LP
Interests shall be duly endorsed in blank or accompanied by a membership interest assignment separate from certificate, as applicable, duly executed in blank by Cheniere LP Seller, in a form reasonably acceptable to the Partnership, with all
necessary transfer tax or other revenue stamps, acquired at Seller Parties’ expense, affixed and canceled. Cheniere GP Seller irrevocably waives its right of first refusal to purchase the CCTP LP Interests, pursuant to Section 8.3(a) of
Cheniere LP Seller’s Charter Document (including the right to notice of any such sale). 
 1.2 Consideration.

 (a) Consideration. The aggregate consideration payable by the Buyer to Cheniere GP Seller in exchange for the
assignment of the Cheniere GP Interests at Closing shall be $1,000 (the “GP Consideration”) and to Cheniere LP Seller in exchange for the assignment of the CCTP LP Interests at Closing shall be $479,999,000 (the “LP
Consideration” and, together with the GP Consideration, the “Cash Consideration”). 

  
 2 







 (b) Expenditure Reimbursement. Subject to Section 1.2(d), at the Closing, Buyer
shall pay to Cheniere LP Seller an amount equal to capital contributions made by Cheniere LP Seller to CCTP after the date hereof if (x) such amounts are used by CCTP for expenditures, including maintenance expenses, operating expenses, capital
expenditures and taxes (but which shall in no event include any interest expense or other fees and costs related to Indebtedness), incurred by CCTP for (i) the Specified Purpose or (ii) matters other than for the Specified Purpose which
are consented to by the CQP Board and (y) Cheniere LP Seller provides written notice of such amounts prior to the Closing (the “Expenditure Reimbursement”). 

(c) Payments. The Partnership shall pay to the Cheniere GP Seller the GP Consideration and to the Cheniere LP Seller the LP
Consideration and the Expenditure Reimbursement at the Closing by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the accounts specified by each of the Cheniere GP Seller and Cheniere LP Seller, respectively, in writing prior to the Closing;
provided, however, that the Parties may mutually agree to substitute equity of the Partnership in lieu of cash, in whole or in part, with respect to such payment. The Parties agree that the Cash Consideration is allocable to each of Cheniere GP
Seller and Cheniere LP Seller in the manner set forth in Section 1.2(a), and the Seller Parties acknowledge that payment of the Cash Consideration in the manner set forth in Section 1.2(a) constitutes payment in full of the applicable
portion of the Cash Consideration to which the Seller Parties are entitled. The Seller Parties agree that payment of the Cash Consideration shall be deemed made in full when the Parties receive confirmation from the financial institution holding the
accounts into which payment of the Cash Consideration is made that the payment has been successfully received in such accounts in immediately available funds. Such confirmation shall be conclusive evidence of such receipt. 

(d) Expenditure Reimbursement Dispute. The Seller Parties shall provide monthly updates to the Buyer regarding the expenditures
incurred by CCTP, which updates shall be the same as presented to the CQP Board. In the event that a component of the Expenditure Reimbursement exceeds an amount set forth therefor in the budget attached to Schedule 1.2 for a particular year (viewed
collectively with previous years to the extent the full amount for the particular budget item was not used in previous years) or a budget subsequently approved by the CQP Board and Buyer provides notice to the Seller Parties that Buyer disputes the
necessity of such excess amount in connection with the Specified Purpose or a non-Specified Purpose approved by the CQP Board, the Parties shall work in good faith to resolve such disputed amount. If the Parties are unable to resolve such disputed
amount by the Closing, the Expenditure Reimbursement paid by the Buyer at the Closing shall be the amount stated in the budget most recently approved prior to the occurrence of such expenditure (to the extent such amount was contributed by Cheniere
LP Seller to the Buyer), and the Parties shall submit the necessity of such disputed amount for the Specified Purpose (or non-Specified Purpose, if such was approved by the CQP Board) to binding arbitration in accordance with the American
Arbitration Association Rules for Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR), with the Parties bearing their own costs with respect thereto, and the costs of the arbitrator shall be split evenly between Cheniere LP Seller, on the one hand, and Buyer, on
the other hand. If the arbitrator determines at any time after the Closing that the disputed amount was necessary for the Specified Purpose (or the non-Specified Purpose, if applicable), the Buyer shall pay such amount within ten (10) days
after such determination.

Cheniere CTP GP, as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date as follows (except that all representations and warranties contained herein are subject to the specific exceptions set forth on the disclosure schedules attached hereto, as
supplemented by the Seller Parties not less than three (3) Business Days prior to the anticipated Closing Date, which supplements shall be permitted to contain only those matters that arose from the activities of the Seller Parties and the
Subject Entities permitted in accordance with Section 5.1 and any matters otherwise consented to by Buyer):

corporate or limited liability company action, as applicable, of such Seller Party. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered, and the other Transaction Documents will be duly executed and delivered at or prior to Closing, by such Seller
Party party thereto and, assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery by the Buyer of those Transaction Documents to which the Buyer is a party, constitutes, or in the case of the Transaction Documents delivered at the Closing, will as of
Closing constitute, a valid and legally binding obligation of such Seller Party, enforceable against such Seller Party in accordance with the terms hereof or thereof, except as such enforceability may be limited by (i) applicable bankruptcy,

both) any provision of its Charter Documents, (B) in violation of any Order applicable to it or (C) except as set forth on Schedule 3.3, in violation of any applicable Law or material Contract binding upon it, except in the case of clauses
(B) and (C), where such violations or conflicts would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect with respect to any Subject Entity or the Assigned Interests and (ii) the execution, delivery and performance by each
Seller Party of the Transaction Documents, and the consummation of the Transactions, will not as of the Closing Date, (X) give rise to the creation of any Encumbrance upon any of the assets of the Subject Entities or the Assigned Interests, or
(Y) except as permitted by Section 5.1, give rise to any right of termination, amendment, cancellation or acceleration of any obligations contained in, or the loss of any benefit under (with or without notice, lapse of time or both), any
Contract to which the Subject Entities are a party, by which any Subject Entity’s assets are bound or to which the Assigned Interests are subject, except in the case of clause (Y), where such rights would not reasonably be expected to result in
a Material Adverse Effect with respect to any Subject Entity or the Assigned Interests. 
 (b) Except as set forth on Schedule

interest in CCTP, Cheniere GP Seller directly owns 100.0% of the member interest in Cheniere CTP GP, and Cheniere CTP GP directly owns 100% of the general partner interest in CCTP (collectively, the “Outstanding Interests”), all of
which Outstanding Interests are duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable (except as such nonassessability may be affected by Sections 18-607 and 18-804 of the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act or Sections 17-607 and 17-804 of the
Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act). Except for the Outstanding Interests, no other Capital Stock of the Subject Entities is authorized, issued, outstanding or reserved for issuance, and neither Subject Entity has issued or is
obligated to issue any warrant, option, call, put or security which is convertible into, exercisable or exchangeable for any Capital Stock of such Subject Entity. No Subject Entity is a party to any Contract obligating it to issue, sell, purchase or
redeem any of the Capital Stock of such Subject Entity. No Subject Entity is a party to any notes or other Indebtedness the holders of which have the right to vote (or which are convertible into, exchangeable for or evidence the right to subscribe
for or acquire securities having the right to vote) with the partners or members of such Subject Entity on any matter. There are no voting trusts, irrevocable proxies or other Contracts to which any Subject Entity or the Assigned Interests are bound
with respect to voting any Capital Stock

of any Subject Entity. There are no Contracts restricting or preventing the payment of distributions by the Subject Entities other than as set forth in their Charter Documents. All securities
issued by the Subject Entities have been issued in transactions exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder and applicable state securities laws. CCTP does not own any
Capital Stock of any Person, and Cheniere CTP GP does not own any Capital Stock of any Person (other than its interest in CCTP) except for its interest in CCCP and Frontera, which will be distributed to Cheniere GP Seller prior to the Closing in
accordance with Cheniere CTP GP’s organizational documents and Delaware law. Immediately following the Closing, all power and control over the Subject Entities will be vested in the Subject Entities or the Buyer. 

3.5 Absence of Litigation. There is no Action pending or, to the Knowledge of the Seller Parties, threatened against any
Seller Party or any of its affiliates relating to the Transactions, the Subject Entities or the Assigned Interests or which, if adversely determined, could reasonably be expected to materially impair the ability of the Seller Parties to perform
their obligations and agreements under the Transaction Documents and to consummate the Transactions. 
 3.6 Material
Contracts. All of the Material Contracts are, unless otherwise terminated or expired in accordance with their respective terms (other than as a result of a breach or default thereunder), valid, binding and in full force and effect and
are enforceable against the Subject Entities party thereto and to the Knowledge of the Seller Parties, the other parties thereto, in accordance with their respective terms, except as limited by Laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’
rights generally, by general equitable principles or by the discretion of any Governmental Entity before which any proceeding seeking enforcement may be brought. Except as set forth on Schedule 3.6, the Material Contracts constitute all of the
Contracts necessary in connection with the maintenance, operation and servicing of the Pipeline as currently constructed. The Subject Entities have performed all material obligations required to be performed by them under the Material Contracts, and
no Subject Entity is (with or without notice or lapse of time, or both) in breach or default in any respect thereunder and, to the Knowledge of the Seller Parties, no other party to any Material Contract is (with or without notice or lapse of time,
or both) in breach or default in any respect thereunder, except for such noncompliance, breaches and defaults that would not reasonably be expected to result in any material liabilities to the Subject Entities taken as a whole. No Subject Entity has
received written notice (or to the Knowledge of the Seller Parties, any other notice) of any default of a Subject Entity under any Material Agreement in the 12 month period prior to the date hereof. To the Knowledge of the Seller Parties, no
circumstances exist and no event has occurred that (with or without notice or lapse of time, or both) would contravene, conflict with, or result in a violation or breach of, or give any Subject Entity or any other Person the right to declare a
default or exercise any remedy under, or to accelerate the maturity or performance of, or to cancel, terminate or modify, any Material Contract other than as permitted by Section 5.1. 

3.7 Title and Condition of Assets. 
 (a) Title to CCTP Capital Stock and Assigned Interests. Cheniere GP Seller and Cheniere LP Seller are the sole direct or indirect legal and beneficial owners of all of the Outstanding Interests of
the Subject Entities as described in Section 3.4, free and clear of all 

  
 9 







 
Encumbrances, other than Permitted Encumbrances. Except for the right of refusal that has been irrevocably waived by Cheniere GP Seller in the last sentence of Section 1.1(b), no Person has
any right of first refusal, option or other right to purchase or acquire all or any portion of the Assigned Interests or the Capital Stock of the Subject Entities. On the Closing Date the Partnership will own the Outstanding Interests free and clear
of any Encumbrances, other than Permitted Encumbrances. 
 (b) Title to Assets. Each Subject Entity has good and
indefeasible title to, or a valid leasehold or easement interest in, all of the tangible assets, properties and interests in properties, whether real, personal or mixed, used or necessary in connection with such Subject Entity’s business, as

of available insurance coverage), (b) seek any material injunctive relief, or (c) would reasonably be expected to result in a material liability, individually or in the aggregate, to the Subject Entities, taken as a whole.

including those relating to occupational health and safety and the Natural Gas Act (together with any applicable regulations, orders and tariffs thereunder), and all Orders applicable to any Subject Entity or any assets owned or used by any of them,
except for any instances of noncompliance that, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to result in material liability to the Subject Entities taken as a whole. 

(b) FCPA. No Subject Entity, nor, to the Knowledge of the Seller Parties, any representative of any Subject Entity, has directly
or indirectly, (i) made any unlawful payment to foreign or domestic government officials or employees or to any foreign or domestic political parties or campaigns or violated any provisions of any applicable antibribery Laws, including the
Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder (collectively, the “FCPA”) or the UK Bribery Act of 2010, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder (collectively, the
“UK Act”), or (ii) taken any action that would constitute a violation of any applicable antibribery Laws, including the FCPA or UK Act, including making

material Tax Returns required to be filed. All such Tax Returns are complete and correct in all material respects. All Taxes owed by each Subject Entity (whether or not shown on any Tax Return) have been timely paid, other than those that are being
contested in good faith by appropriate action and for which adequate reserves have been established in accordance with GAAP. No deficiencies for Taxes of any Subject Entity have been claimed, proposed or assessed by any taxing authority. There are

 11 








 
Agreement, CCTP is treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes. On the Closing Date, CCTP will be a disregarded entity of Cheniere GP Seller for U.S. federal income tax

insurance policies applicable to the Subject Entities as of the date hereof, including insurance of directors and officers of the Subject Entities (collectively, the “Insurance Policies”). Each Subject Entity is insured by insurers
of recognized financial responsibility (with an A.M. Best rating of at least A-VII) against such losses and risks and in such amounts as are prudent and customary in connection with its respective business, and all such insurance is in full force
and effect. There is no existing default (or any condition that would cause a default with due notice or lapse of time or both) under the Insurance Policies, and the execution and delivery and performance of this Agreement does not and will not
require a consent under, constitute a violation of, breach under or default (or an event that, with or without notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute such default) under any Insurance Policy. Since January 1, 2009, there has not been
any notice of cancellation or nonrenewal with respect to, or disallowance of any claim or reservation of rights under, any Insurance Policies applicable to the Subject Entities. No Person has received written notice (or to the Knowledge of the
Seller Parties, any other notice) from any insurer or agent of such insurer that substantial capital improvements or other substantial expenditures will have to be made in order to continue the Insurance Policies. All premiums due under the
Insurance Policies that have been invoiced to the Subject Entities have been paid by the applicable due date.

and workmanlike condition (subject to normal wear and tear), and, other than the segments of the Pipeline that are currently under construction, is suitable for the use by CCTP in accordance with its FERC tariffs and good industry practices, in each
case, without materially violating any Law or contractual, legal, title, property or other right of any Person.

before the expiration of the applicable period, made a claim by delivering a written notice of such claim in accordance with Section 7.4 to the Indemnifying Party. 
 7.4 Procedures. 
 (a) Third Party Claims. In order for
a Person (the “Indemnified Party”) to be entitled to any indemnification provided for under this Article VII in respect of, arising out of or involving a claim made by any Person not a party hereto against the
Indemnified Party (a “Third Party Claim”), such Indemnified Party must notify the indemnifying party (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing of such Third Party Claim (setting forth in
reasonable detail the facts giving rise to such Third Party Claim (to the extent known by the Indemnified Party) and the amount or estimated amount (to the extent reasonably estimable) of Losses arising out of, involving or otherwise in respect of
such Third Party Claim) promptly following receipt by such Indemnified Party of written notice of such Third Party Claim; provided, however, that, subject to Section 7.3, failure to give such notification promptly shall not affect the
indemnification provided hereunder except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party shall have been actually prejudiced as a result of such failure. Thereafter, the Indemnified Party shall deliver to the Indemnifying Party, promptly following the
Indemnified Party’s receipt thereof, copies of all notices and documents (including court papers) received by the Indemnified Party relating to the Third Party Claim. 

  
 24 








 (b) Assumption. If a Third Party Claim is made against an Indemnified Party, the
Indemnifying Party shall (unless the Indemnifying Party is also a party to such Third Party Claim and the Indemnified Party determines in good faith that joint representation would be inappropriate) be entitled to participate in the defense thereof
and, if it so chooses, to assume the defense thereof with counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party (provided that such counsel is not reasonably objected to by the Indemnified Party), at its own expense by giving written notice to the Indemnified
Party within fifteen Business Days of receiving notice of the Third Party Claim. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of a Third Party Claim in accordance with this Section 7.4(b), the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to the
Indemnified Party for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of a Third Party Claim in accordance with this Section 7.4(b), the
Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in the defense thereof and to employ counsel (provided such counsel is not reasonably objected to by the Indemnifying Party), at its own expense, separate from the counsel employed by the
Indemnifying Party, it being understood that the Indemnifying Party shall control such defense. The Indemnifying Party shall be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel employed by the Indemnified Party for any period during which the
Indemnifying Party has not assumed the defense thereof (other than during any period in which the Indemnified Party shall have failed to give notice of the Third Party Claim as provided above). If the Indemnifying Party chooses to defend or
prosecute a Third Party Claim, all of the Indemnified Parties shall cooperate in the defense or prosecution thereof. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the Indemnifying Party’s request) the provision to the Indemnifying
Party of records and information that are reasonably relevant to such Third Party Claim, and making employees available at such times and places as may be reasonably necessary to defend against such Third Party Claim for the purpose of providing
additional information, explanation or testimony in connection with such Third Party Claim. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall defend such Third Party Claim vigorously and diligently to
final conclusion or settlement of such Third Party Claim; provided that the Indemnifying Party shall not settle such Third Party Claim without the consent of the Indemnified Party. 

(c) Other Claims. In the event any Indemnified Party has a claim against any Indemnifying Party under this Article VII that does
not involve a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall deliver written notice of such claim to the Indemnifying Party (setting forth in reasonable detail the facts giving rise to such claim (to the extent known by the Indemnified Party) and
the amount or estimated amount (to the extent reasonably estimable) of Losses arising out of, involving or otherwise in respect of such claim) promptly after becoming aware of such claim; provided, however, that, subject to Section 7.3,
failure to give such notification promptly shall not affect the indemnification provided hereunder except to the extent the Indemnifying Party shall have been actually prejudiced as a result of such failure (except that the Indemnifying Party shall
not be liable for any expenses incurred during the period in which the Indemnified Party failed to give such notice). If the Indemnifying Party does not notify the Indemnified Party within thirty (30) days following its receipt of such notice
that the Indemnifying Party disputes its liability to the Indemnified Party under this Article VII, such claim specified by the Indemnified Party in such notice shall be conclusively deemed a liability of the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnifying
Party shall pay the amount of such liability to the Indemnified Party on demand or, in the case of any notice in which the amount of the claim (or any portion thereof) is estimated, on such later date when the amount of such claim (or such portion
thereof) becomes finally determined. 

  
 25 








 7.5 Taxes. 

(a) Liability for Taxes. The Seller Parties shall be liable for and pay, and pursuant to this Article VII shall indemnify the Buyer
Indemnitees against, all Taxes (including any amounts owed by a Buyer Indemnitee relating to Taxes pursuant to a contract or otherwise) applicable to the business and the assets of CCTP, in each case attributable to taxable years or periods ending
on or prior to the Closing Date and, with respect to any Straddle Period, the portion of such Straddle Period ending on and including the Closing Date. Buyer shall be liable for and pay, and pursuant to this Article VII (but without duplication of
any amount specified in Section 2.5 or any indemnity under Section 7.1) shall indemnify each Seller Indemnitee from and against, all Taxes applicable to the business and the assets of CCTP that are attributable to taxable years or periods
beginning after the Closing Date and, with respect to any Straddle Period, the portion of such Straddle Period beginning after the Closing Date; provided, however, that Buyer shall not be liable for or pay, and shall not indemnify any Seller
Indemnitee from and against, any Taxes for which the Seller Parties are liable under this Agreement, including pursuant to the preceding sentence. For purposes of this Section 7.5(a), any Straddle Period shall be treated on a “closing of
the books” basis as two partial periods, one ending at the close of the Closing Date and the other beginning on the day after the Closing Date, except that Taxes (such as property Taxes) imposed on a periodic basis shall be allocated on a daily
basis. 
 (b) Assistance and Cooperation. After the Closing Date, each of the Seller Parties and Buyer shall (and cause
their respective affiliates to): (i) assist the other party in preparing any Tax Returns which such other party is responsible for preparing and filing; (ii) cooperate fully in preparing for any audits of, or disputes with taxing
authorities regarding, any Tax Returns of or relating to the business or the assets of CCTP; (iii) make available to the other and to any taxing authority as reasonably requested all information, records, and documents relating to Taxes of or
relating to the business or the assets of CCTP; (iv) provide timely notice to the other in writing of any pending or threatened Tax audits or assessments relating to Taxes of or relating to the business or the assets of CCTP for taxable periods
for which the other may have a liability under Section 7.5(a); and (v) furnish the other with copies of all correspondence received from any taxing authority in connection with any Tax audit or information request with respect to any such
taxable period. 
 (c) Survival. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the obligations of the
parties set forth in this Section 7.5 shall be unconditional and absolute and shall terminate sixty (60) days following the applicable statute of limitations. 
 7.6 Limitation of Liability. IN NO EVENT SHALL ANY PARTY HERETO BE LIABLE HEREUNDER FOR EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE, SPECIAL OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES, REGARDLESS OF SOLE OR CONCURRENT
NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY, OR DEFECT IN PREMISES, EQUIPMENT OR MATERIAL, AND REGARDLESS OF WHETHER PRE-EXISTING THIS AGREEMENT OR THE OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT PAYABLE TO A PERSON THAT IS NOT A PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT (OR
AN AFFILIATE THEREOF) IN CONNECTION WITH A THIRD PARTY CLAIM. 

  
 26

Agreement following the Closing Date except (a) as is provided in this Article VII, (b) for claims or causes of action arising from fraud or (c) for specific performance as provided in Section 10.3.

terminate this Agreement shall not be available to the Seller Parties if Closing thereunder has not occurred by the Purchase Expiration Date because the conditions set forth in Sections 6.1 and 6.2(a) through 6.2(h) (other than 6.2(f)) have not been
satisfied by such date. 
 (b) Effect of Investigation. The right of any Party to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this
