the Partners as of the following times: (i) the acquisition of an additional interest in the Partnership by any new or existing Partner in exchange for more than a de minimis Capital Contribution, provided that no adjustment will
be made to the Carrying Values of the Partnership’s assets in connection with any Capital Contribution made by a Common Limited Partner for the purpose of funding the construction of the Liquefaction Project; (ii) the distribution by the
Partnership to a Partner of more than a de minimis amount of asset as consideration for an interest in the Partnership; (iii) the liquidation of the Partnership within the meaning of Treasury Regulations

(b)(i) through (b)(v), the Partnership shall adjust the Carrying Values of its Properties in accordance with Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f)(1) and

 (c) The Carrying Value of any asset distributed to any Partner
will be adjusted to equal the gross fair market value of the asset on the date of distribution as determined by the General Partner; and

the asset pursuant to Code Sections 734(b) (including pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.734-2(b)(1)), but only to the extent that the adjustments are taken into account in determining Capital Accounts pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m) and subparagraph (c) of the definition of “Gain” and “Loss”; provided, however, that Carrying Values will not be
adjusted pursuant to this subparagraph (d) to the extent that an adjustment pursuant to subparagraph (b) is required in connection with a transaction that would otherwise result in an adjustment pursuant to this subparagraph (d).

(e) Nonrecourse Deductions. Nonrecourse Deductions for any Fiscal Year will be allocated to the holders of the
Common LP Interests and the holders of the Preferred LP Interests, each as a class, in proportion to how all prior Depreciation that did not constitute Nonrecourse Deductions was allocated to each class pursuant to Section 5.3(h), and the
portion so allocated to the Common LP Interests will be allocated Pro Rata and the portion so allocated to the Preferred LP Interests will be allocated Pro Rata. 

(f) Partner Nonrecourse Deductions. Any Partner Nonrecourse Deductions for any Fiscal Year will be allocated to the Partner who bears
the economic risk of loss with respect to the Partner Nonrecourse Debt to which the Partner Nonrecourse Deductions are attributable in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(1).

 (g) Section 754 Adjustments. To the extent an adjustment to the adjusted tax basis of
any Partnership asset, pursuant to Code Section 734(b) (including pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.734-2(b)(1)) is required, pursuant to Treasury Regulations

complete liquidation of the Partner’s interest in the Partnership, the amount of the adjustment to Capital Accounts will be treated as an item of gain (if the adjustment increases the basis of the asset) or loss (if the adjustment decreases the
basis) and the gain or loss will be allocated to the Partners in proportion to their interests in the Partnership in the event Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(2) applies, or to the
Partner to whom the distribution was made in the event Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)(4) applies.

the Disposition or adjustment to the Carrying Value of any Initial Asset, the Loss will be allocated to the holders of the Common LP Interests and to holders of the Preferred LP Interests based on their respective Sharing Ratio, and the portion so
allocated to the Common LP Interests will be allocated Pro Rata and the portion of Loss so allocated to the Preferred LP Interests will be allocated Pro Rata. 

(ii) In the event that, in any Fiscal Year, the Partnership realizes, or is deemed to realize, Loss from the Disposition or adjustment

“Regulatory Allocations”) are intended to comply with certain requirements of the Treasury Regulations. It is the intent of the Partners that, to the extent possible, the Regulatory Allocations will be offset
either with special allocations of other items of Partnership income, gain, loss, or deduction pursuant to this Section 5.4. Therefore, notwithstanding any other provision of this Article V (other than the Regulatory Allocations), special
allocations of Partnership income, gain, loss, or deduction will be made so that, after the offsetting allocations are made, each Partner’s Capital Account balance is, to the extent possible, equal to the Capital Account balance the Partner
would have had if the Regulatory Allocations were not part of this Agreement and all Partnership items were allocated pursuant to Section 5.1, Section 5.2, and Section 5.3 (other than the Regulatory Allocations). In exercising its
discretion under this Section 5.4, the General Partner will take into account future Regulatory Allocations under Sections 5.3(a) and 5.3(b) that, although not yet made, are likely to offset other Regulatory Allocations previously made under
Sections 5.3(e) and 5.3(f). 
 5.5. Other Allocation Rules. 

(a) Net Operating Income, Net Operating Loss, and any other items of income, gain, loss, or deduction will be allocated to the Partners
pursuant to this Article V as of the last day of each Fiscal Year; provided that Net Operating Income, Net Operating Loss, and such other items shall also be allocated at such times as the Carrying Values of the Partnership’s assets
are adjusted pursuant to subparagraph (b) of the definition of “Carrying Value” in Section 1.1. 

  
 20 








 (b) For purposes of determining the Net Operating Income, Net Operating Loss, or any other
items allocable to any period, Net Operating Income, Net Operating Loss and any such other items will be determined on a daily, monthly, or other basis, as determined by the General Partner using any permissible method under Code Section 706
and the Treasury Regulations thereunder. 
 5.6. Tax Allocations; Code Section 704(c). 

(a) In accordance with Code Section 704(c) and the Treasury Regulations thereunder, income, gain, loss, and deduction with respect
to any asset contributed to the capital of the Partnership will, solely for tax purposes, be allocated among the Partners so as to take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of the asset to the Partnership for federal income tax
purposes and its initial Carrying Value (computed in accordance with the definition of “Carrying Value” in Section 1.1) using the “remedial allocation method” described in Treasury Regulations
Section 1.704-3(d). 
 (b) In the event the Carrying Value of any Partnership asset is
adjusted pursuant to subparagraph (b) of the definition of Carrying Value, subsequent allocations of income, gain, loss, and deduction with respect to the asset will take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of the asset for
federal income tax purposes and its Carrying Value in the same manner as under Code Section 704(c) and the Treasury Regulations thereunder applying the “remedial allocation method” described in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-3(d). 
 (c) Any elections or other decisions relating to allocations described
in this Section 5.6 shall be made by the General Partner in any manner that reasonably reflects the purpose and intention of this Agreement. Allocations pursuant to this Section 5.6 are solely for purposes of federal, state, and local
taxes and will not affect, or in any way be taken into account in computing, any Partner’s Capital Account or share of Net Operating Income, Net Operating Loss, other items, or distributions pursuant to any provision of this Agreement. 

ARTICLE VI 

DISTRIBUTIONS 
 6.1.
Quarterly Distributions. Except as otherwise provided in Section 6.3 or Section 9.3, quarterly distributions by the Partnership of cash will be made within 45 days of the end of the Fiscal Quarter, unless otherwise determined by the
General Partner. Any distributions of cash to the Limited Partners in respect of any Fiscal Quarter will be made as follows:  

(a) First, to the holders of the Preferred LP Interests, Pro Rata, in an amount equal to the Preferred Return for the Fiscal Quarter;
provided that any distribution made pursuant to this Section 6.1(a) may not exceed an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the cumulative amount of Net Operating Income of the Partnership for the period beginning on the
Initial Effective Date and ending on the last day of the applicable Fiscal Quarter, over (ii) the cumulative amount of distributions made for all prior Fiscal Quarters pursuant to this Section 6.1(a) and Sections 6.1(b) and 6.2; and

 (b) Second, to the holders of the Common LP Interests, Pro Rata, in such amount determined by the General Partner. 

  
 21 








 For purposes of clause (i) of Section 6.1(a), in the event Net Operating Income is being determined as
of the end of any Fiscal Quarter that is not the last day of a Fiscal Year, the General Partner shall reasonably determine the amount of the Net Operating Income for the current Fiscal Year to date as if the last day of the Fiscal Quarter was the
last day of the current Fiscal Year and in accordance with the definition of “Net Operating Income” set forth in Section 1.1. 

6.2. Annual Distribution. Except as provided in Section 9.2, within 55 days after the end of each Fiscal Year, the General Partner
shall cause the Partnership to distribute to the holders of the Preferred LP Interests, Pro Rata, an amount of cash equal to the amount of Net Operating Income allocated to the holders of the Preferred LP Interests pursuant to Section 5.1(e)
for the Fiscal Year; provided that, in the event cash is insufficient in amount to distribute to the holders of the Preferred LP Interests the full amount to which they are entitled for any Fiscal Year pursuant to this Section 6.2, the
General Partner shall cause future distributions of cash to be made to the holders of the Preferred LP Interests until any such shortfall has been eliminated prior to making any future distributions to the holders of the Common LP Interests pursuant
to Section 6.1(b). 
 6.3. Limitation on Distributions. 

(a) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Partnership will make no distributions that are prohibited by the
Delaware Act. 
 (b) Until the Liquefaction Project Commences Commercial Service, the Partnership shall not make a distribution to
the holders of Common LP Interests until the Partnership has established a distribution reserve sufficient to pay the Preferred Return for two Fiscal Quarters. 

ARTICLE VII

PARTNERS

(a) All reports provided to the Partners pursuant to this Section 6.1 will be prepared on such basis as the General Partner
determines will appropriately reflect the operations and assets of the Partnership.

each Fiscal Year, the General Partner, at the expense of the Partnership, shall cause to be delivered to the Partners: (i) such information as is necessary (including a statement for the previous Fiscal Year of each Partner’s share of
items of net income, net gains, net losses and other items of the Partnership and distributions of cash made) for the preparation by the Partners of their federal, state and local income and other tax returns and (ii) a copy of all income tax
and information returns to be filed by the Partnership for the preceding Fiscal Year.

financial statements shall set forth, as of the end of and for the Fiscal Year: (i) a profit and loss statement and a balance sheet of the Partnership, (ii) the balance in the Capital
Account of each Partner, and (iii) such other information as, in the judgment of the General Partner, is reasonably necessary for the Partners to be advised of the financial status and results of operations of the Partnership. 

ARTICLE VIII 

EXCULPATION AND INDEMNIFICATION 

8.1. Exculpation and Indemnification. 

(a) The General Partner will not be liable to the Partnership or to any other Partner for monetary damages for any losses, claims,
damages or liabilities arising from any act or omission performed or omitted by it arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or the Partnership’s business or affairs, except for any such loss, claim, damage or liability to the extent
caused by the General Partner’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. 
 (b) The Partnership shall, to the fullest extent
permitted by Applicable Law, indemnify, defend and hold harmless the General Partner against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which the General Partner may become subject in connection with any matter arising out of or in connection
with this Agreement or the Partnership’s business or affairs, except for any such loss, claim, damage or liability to the extent caused by the General Partner’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. Subject to Section 3.4(g), if the
General Partner becomes involved in any capacity in any action, proceeding or investigation in connection with any matter arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or the Partnership’s business or affairs, the Partnership shall
reimburse the General Partner for its legal and other expenses (including the cost of any investigation and preparation) as they are incurred in connection therewith, provided that the General Partner shall promptly repay to the Partnership
the amount of any such reimbursed expenses paid to it if it is ultimately determined that the General Partner was not entitled to be indemnified by the Partnership in connection with such action, proceeding or investigation. If for any reason (other
than the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the General Partner) the foregoing indemnification is unavailable to the General Partner, or insufficient to hold it harmless, then the Partnership shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by
the General Partner as a result of such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Partnership on the one hand and the General Partner on the other hand or, if such
allocation is not permitted by Applicable Law, to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to above but also any other relative equitable considerations. 

(c) Each Partner covenants for itself and its successors and assigns that such Person will, at any time prior to or after dissolution
of the Partnership, on demand, whether before or after such Person’s withdrawal from the Partnership, pay to the Partnership or the General Partner any amount that the Partnership or the General Partner, as the case may be, pays in respect of
taxes (including withholding taxes) imposed upon income of or distributions to such Partner. Any such payment shall not increase the Capital Account of such Partner. 

  
 23 








 (d) Notwithstanding anything else contained in this Agreement, the obligations of the
Partnership or any Partner under Sections 8.1 (b) and (c) will: 
 (i) be in addition to any liability that the
Partnership or any Partner may otherwise have; and 
 (ii) inure to the benefit of Affiliates of the General Partner and the
directors, officers, employees and agents of the General Partner and its Affiliates and any successors, assigns, heirs and personal representatives of such Persons.

 9.1. Dissolution. Subject to the Delaware Act and other Applicable Law, the Partnership shall be dissolved
and its affairs shall be wound up upon the earliest to occur of: 
 (a) an election to dissolve the Partnership by the General
Partner that is approved by the 100% of the Limited Partners; 
 (b) the entry of a decree of judicial dissolution of the Partnership
pursuant to the provisions of the Delaware Act; 
 (c) at any time there are no Limited Partners, unless the Partnership is continued
without dissolution in accordance with the Delaware Act; or 
 (d) an event of withdrawal, except for the resignation, of a General
Partner (within the meaning of the Delaware Act), including the bankruptcy of a General Partner, unless (i) at the time there is at least one other general partner of the Partnership and all of the remaining Partners agree to continue the
business of the Partnership or (ii) within 90 calendar days after the event of withdrawal, the Partners agree in writing to continue the business of the Partnership and, pursuant to Section 3.7 of this Agreement, to the appointment,
effective as of the date of the event of withdrawal, of a new general partner; 
 (e) the sale, condemnation or disposition of all or
substantially all of the Partnership’s assets and the receipt of all consideration therefor; or 
 (f) the resignation of all
General Partners unless a successor is elected and such successor is admitted to the Partnership pursuant to this Agreement. 
 9.2.
Winding Up of Partnership. Upon dissolution, the Partnership’s business will be wound up in an orderly manner. The General Partner shall be the liquidator to wind up the affairs of the Partnership pursuant to this Agreement. If no General
Partner remains, the Limited Partners holding more than 50% of the Capital Accounts may approve one or more Persons to act as the liquidator in carrying out the liquidation. Subject to the Delaware Act and Section 9.3, the liquidator shall
dispose of or distribute all Partnership assets to the Partners as soon as reasonably practicable after dissolution.

 9.3. Distributions upon Dissolution of the Partnership. 

(a) Upon dissolution of the Partnership, the liquidator shall determine which assets of the Partnership will be disposed of and which
assets of the Partnership will be retained for distribution in kind to the Partners. In performing its duties, the liquidator is authorized to sell, distribute, exchange or otherwise dispose of the assets of the Partnership in any manner that the
liquidator determines to be in the best interest of the Partners. Subject to the Delaware Act, after all liabilities contingent or otherwise of the Partnership (including any liabilities to Partners) have been satisfied or duly provided for (as
determined by the liquidator in its discretion), the remaining assets of the Partnership will be distributed to the Partners in accordance with their positive Capital Account balances after giving effect to all contributions, distributions and
allocations for all periods. 
 (b) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, (i) each Limited Partner will look solely to
the assets of the Partnership for the return of its Capital Contributions and will have no right or power to demand or receive property other than cash from the Partnership and (ii) no Limited Partner will have priority over any other Limited
Partner as to the return of its Capital Contributions. 
 (c) No Partner will be obligated to contribute to the Partnership or to any
other Partner any deficit or negative balance that may exist from time to time in the Partner’s Capital Account.

10.1. Transferability of General Partner’s Interests. Except as provided in Section 10.3, and notwithstanding anything else
contained herein, the General Partner may, at any time or from time to time without the consent or approval of the Limited Partners, Transfer all or any portion of its Interest to any Person. The General Partner will not cease to be a general
partner of the Partnership solely as a result of its pledge of all or any portion of its Interest. 
 10.2. Transferability of Limited
Partners’ Interests. Except as provided in Section 10.3, no Limited Partner may Transfer all or any portion of its Interest (other than Transfers of interests in the Limited Partner as permitted by its constituent documents), without

 10.3.

general partner or limited partner of the Partnership without further action by any other Partner or any other Person, and any such transferee or Person acquiring such Interests will be deemed admitted to the Partnership as a general partner or
limited partner of the Partnership immediately prior to the Transfer, and the business of the Partnership shall continue thereafter without dissolution.

MISCELLANEOUS 
 11.1.
Amendments. This Agreement may be amended only with the approval of all of the Partners. 
 11.2. Third-Party Beneficiaries. This
Agreement is made solely and specifically among and for the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns, and no other Person will have any right, interest or claim hereunder or be entitled to any benefit under
or on account of this Agreement as a third-party beneficiary or otherwise. 
 11.3. Successors. This Agreement will be binding as to
the executors, administrators, estates, heirs, legal successors and permitted assigns of the Partners. 
 11.4. Governing Law:
Severability. This Agreement is governed by and will be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware without giving effect to the principles of conflict of laws thereof. In particular, this Agreement will be construed to
the maximum extent possible to comply with all of the terms and conditions of the Delaware Act. If, nevertheless, it is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that a term or provision of this Agreement is invalid or unenforceable under the
Delaware Act or other Applicable Law, that invalidity or unenforceability will not invalidate the entire Agreement. In that case, this Agreement will be construed so as to limit any such term or provision so as to make it enforceable or valid within
the requirements of Applicable Law, and, in the event the term or provision cannot be so limited, this Agreement will be construed to omit the invalid or unenforceable term or provision. If it is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that
any provision relating to the distributions and allocations of the Partnership or to any fee payable by the Partnership is invalid or unenforceable, this Agreement will be construed or interpreted so as (a) to make it enforceable or valid and
(b) to make the distributions and allocations as closely equivalent to those set forth in this Agreement as is permissible under Applicable Law. 

11.5. Waiver of Action for Partition. Each of the Partners irrevocably waive any right that it may have to maintain any action for
partition with respect to any of the Partnership’s assets. 
 11.6. Headings. Section and other headings contained in this
Agreement are for reference purposes only and are not intended to describe, interpret, define or limit the scope or intent of this Agreement or any provision hereof.

 11.7. Counterparts. This Agreement may be signed in any number of counterparts, each of
which will be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument. 
 11.8. Entire
Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, representations and warranties, both oral and written, among
the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof.
