		1.2	Interpretation



 


For purposes of this Agreement:


 


		1.2.1	The titles, headings, and numbering in this Agreement are included for convenience only and will have
no effect on the construction or interpretation of this Agreement.



 


		1.2.2	References in this Agreement to Sections and Exhibits are to those of this Agreement unless otherwise
indicated. References to this Agreement and to agreements and contractual instruments will be deemed to include all exhibits, schedules,
appendices, annexes, and other attachments thereto and all subsequent amendments and other modifications to such instruments, to the extent
such amendments and other modifications are not prohibited by the terms of this Agreement.



 


		1.2.3	The word “include” or “including” will be deemed to be followed by “without
limitation.” The term “will” has the same meaning as “shall,” and thus imposes an obligation.



 


		1.2.4	Whenever the context so requires, the singular includes the plural and the plural includes the singular,
and the gender of any pronoun includes the other gender.



 






     17


     


    

 


		1.2.5	Unless otherwise indicated, references to any statute, regulation or other law will be deemed to refer
to such statute, regulation or other law as amended or any successor law.



 


		1.2.6	Unless otherwise indicated, references to a Person shall include such Person’s successors and permitted
assigns.

of measurement included in Sections 1 through 25 of this Agreement are inserted as a matter of operational convenience only to show the
approximate equivalent in such different measurement. The obligations of the Parties under Sections 1 through 25 of this Agreement will
be undertaken in respect of the primary unit of measurement and not in respect of any such approximate conversion.



 


		1.3	Replacement of Rates and Indices No Longer Available



 


		1.3.1	Subject to Section 1.3.6, if (a) a publication that contains a rate or index used in this Agreement ceases
to be published for any reason or (b) such a rate or index ceases to exist, is materially modified, or no longer is used as a liquid trading
point for Gas or LNG (as applicable), so as systematically to change its economic result, or is disaggregated, displaced or abandoned,
for any reason, the Parties shall promptly discuss, with the aim of jointly selecting a rate or index or rates or indices to be used in
place of such rates and indices that maintains the intent and economic effect of those original rates or indices.



 


		1.3.2	If the Parties fail to agree on a replacement rate or index pursuant to Section 1.3.1 within thirty (30)
Days, either Party may submit such issue to an Expert pursuant to Section 20.2, as amended by the provisions of this Section 1.3.2.
Any Expert selected shall be instructed to select the published rate or index, or a combination of published rates or indices, with adjustments
as necessary or appropriate, that most nearly preserves the intent and economic result of the original rates or indices. If the Parties
are not able to agree upon an Expert within ten (10) Days after the receipt of the notice of request for expert determination, either
Party may elect to refer the determination of the replacement rate or index for arbitration in accordance with Section 20.1.



 


		1.3.3	If any rate used in this Agreement is not published for a particular date, but the publication containing
such rate continues to be published and the rate itself continues to exist, the Parties shall use the published rate in effect for the
date such rate was most recently published prior to the particular date, unless otherwise provided in this Agreement.



 






     18


     


    

 


		1.3.4	If any index used in this Agreement is not published for a particular date, but the publication containing
such index continues to be published and the index itself continues to exist, the Parties shall use the published index in effect for
the date such index was most recently published prior to the particular date, unless otherwise provided in this Agreement. If the index
is subsequently published for the particular date, such published index will be substituted for the previously-used index and any calculations
involving such index will be recalculated and the Parties will take any necessary actions based upon these revised calculations, including
adjustments of amounts previously invoiced or paid.



 


		1.3.5	If an incorrect value is published for any rate or index used in this Agreement and such error is corrected
and published within ninety (90) Days of the date of the publication of such incorrect rate or index, such corrected rate or index will
be substituted for the incorrect rate or index and any calculations involving such rate or index will be recalculated and the Parties
will take any necessary actions based upon these revised calculations, including adjustments of amounts previously invoiced or paid.



 


		1.3.6	In respect of JKM, if



 


		(a)	the methodology of calculating JKM has materially changed;



 


		(b)	the quotation is not available because the publisher (i) is insolvent, or (ii) announces that it will
cease to provide that quotation, and in each case there is no successor publisher;



 


		(c)	the quotation is formally discontinued or the publisher of the quotation announces that it may no longer
be used; or



 


		(d)	in the opinion of both Buyer and Seller, as confirmed by each Party in writing, the basis for the quotation
no longer reflects the original intent of the Parties and would otherwise be no longer appropriate under this Agreement,



 


then either Party
may notify the other Party that the notifying Party requests an amendment to this Agreement to replace JKM with


 


		(x)	a benchmark quotation that has been formally designated, nominated or recommended as the replacement quotation
by the publisher of the quotation, and if there is no such formally designated replacement;



 


		(y)	a comparable successor or alternative quotation expressed in USD per MMBtu that is then broadly accepted
as the prevailing market practice for LNG sales and purchases in Japan Korea, China and Taiwan in lieu of “JKM” and is reasonably
acceptable to Buyer and Seller; or



 






     19


     


    

 


		(z)	if no such broadly accepted comparable successor quotation exists at such time, a successor or alternative
quotation as Buyer and Seller may reasonably determine;



 


in each case that
maintains the Parties in a similar commercial position as they were when using JKM. Then, if the Parties mutually agree to proceed and
notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement,


 


		(i)	Buyer and Seller shall promptly negotiate in good faith a JKM replacement amendment in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to Buyer and Seller; and



 


		(ii)	such JKM replacement amendment shall become effective upon the execution and delivery of such JKM replacement
amendment by Buyer and Seller. In the event the Parties do not agree on a JKM replacement, the Parties hereby agree that an Expert shall
determine the JKM replacement in accordance with Section 20.2. A change in respect of JKM that does not materially affect the economic
balance of this Agreement, such as a change in the JKM name, shall not trigger this Section 1.3.6.



 


		2.	Approvals



 


		2.1	Approvals



 


Seller shall at all times obtain and maintain,
or cause to be obtained and maintained, in force the FTA Export Authorization(s) and Non-FTA Export Authorization(s) required to permit
the export of all quantities of LNG to be made available hereunder (each of the foregoing FTA Export Authorization(s) and Non-FTA Export
Authorization(s), an “Export Authorization”), in each case except as may be excused by Force Majeure. Each Party shall
use reasonable efforts to obtain and maintain in force, or cause to be obtained and maintained in force, the other Approvals (other than
the Export Authorizations) that are required for its own performance of this Agreement, and shall cooperate fully with each other whenever
necessary for this purpose.


 


		2.2	Change in Export Laws



 


If the laws of the United States of America
do not require maintenance of or compliance with one or more Export Authorization(s) to export LNG from the United States of America
to a Discharge Terminal, then in respect of such Discharge Terminal, for so long as the laws of the United States of America do not require
such maintenance or compliance, the Parties agree that this Agreement shall be read and construed to omit those provisions of this Agreement
relating to such affected Export Authorization(s) and neither Party shall have any rights or obligations (including obligations to maintain
such affected Export Authorization(s) and claims of Force Majeure) in respect of any such Export Authorization(s).


 






     20


     


    

 


		2.3	Conditions Precedent



 


		2.3.1	The Parties recognize and agree that this Agreement (other than the provisions of this Section 2.3 and
Sections 1, 2.1, 2.2, 4.1 and 14 to 25, which shall all be in full force and effect as of the Effective Date) shall not become effective
unless and until each of the following conditions have been satisfied or waived (each, a “Condition Precedent”):



 


		(a)	Seller has issued to the EPC contractor under the EPC Contract an unconditional full notice to proceed
for the construction of Plant 1 and Plant 2; and



 


		(b)	Seller or an Affiliate of Seller has secured the necessary financing arrangements to construct such Plants
and has achieved financial close under such arrangements.



 


		2.3.2	Promptly upon satisfaction of each Condition Precedent, Seller shall notify Buyer of such satisfaction.

Precedent is satisfied or waived shall be the “CP Fulfillment Date.”



 


		2.3.3	Seller shall endeavor in good faith to satisfy or procure the satisfaction of each Condition Precedent
on or before July 31, 2022 (such date, as may be revised in accordance with this Section 2.3.3, the “CP Deadline”),
provided that if either Condition Precedent is not satisfied by the CP Deadline in circumstances other than where such Condition Precedent
has been waived in accordance with Section 2.3.2, Seller shall give notice to that effect to Buyer and, if requested by Buyer, shall provide
an explanation of the reason for the delay in satisfaction of the Conditions Precedent and the revised date by which it is reasonably
expected that the Conditions Precedent will be satisfied. If the Parties agree in writing to change the deadline for satisfaction of the
Conditions Precedent to the revised date notified by Seller or another date, such revised date shall be deemed the CP Deadline for all
purposes of this Agreement.



 


		2.3.4	If either Condition Precedent has been neither satisfied nor waived by the CP Deadline (as such CP Deadline
may be revised pursuant to Section 2.3.3), then at any time after such CP Deadline either Party may give to the other Party a notice of
termination of this Agreement. Such notice of termination shall be effective in accordance with Section 19.3.2 if either Condition Precedent
remains neither satisfied nor waived prior to the applicable termination date pursuant to Section 19.3.2.

is expected to occur.



 






    24


     


    

 














		4.3.7	Subject to Section 4.4.1, Seller shall notify Buyer at least forty-five (45) Days prior to the commencement
of each Final Window Period of the Day within such Final Window Period which is expected to be the Date of First Commercial Delivery of
the relevant Plant, or, in the absence of notification by Seller in accordance with this Section 4.3.7, the Date of First Commercial Delivery
of such Plant shall be deemed to be the last Day of the associated Final Window Period.



 


		4.3.8	Subject to Section 4.4.1, the Date of First Commercial Delivery of a Plant shall be the date so notified
pursuant to this Section 4.3, regardless of whether any LNG is scheduled for delivery to Buyer or whether any LNG is in fact so delivered
from such Plant. Seller shall provide non-binding good faith estimates of each Date of First Commercial Delivery from time to time as
credible and relevant information is available (but not less frequently than one (1) update every six (6) Months).



 


		4.3.9	Each window period identified in this Section 4.3 may be extended, and the Date of First Commercial Delivery
of each Plant may be deferred, on a Day-for-Day basis, for any event of force majeure affecting Seller, its Affiliates, the Driftwood
LNG Terminal or the Driftwood Pipeline that delays construction or commissioning of a Plant or the Driftwood Pipeline or otherwise delays
a Plant or the Driftwood Pipeline becoming Commercially Operable; provided that any such extension or deferral shall not exceed three
hundred and sixty-five (365) Days.



 


		4.4	Delayed Date of First Commercial Delivery



 


		4.4.1	Notwithstanding Section 4.3 to the contrary, if Plant 1 or Plant 2, as applicable, or the Driftwood Pipeline,
has not become Commercially Operable by the last Day of the Final Window Period for the relevant Plant as specified in Section 4.3.6 (as
such window period may have been extended pursuant to Section 4.3.9), the Date of First Commercial Delivery of such Plant shall be the
Day notified by Seller to Buyer, which Day shall not occur prior to the Day that such Plant and the Driftwood Pipeline are Commercially
Operable; provided, however, that Seller shall endeavor in good faith to designate the Date of First Commercial Delivery of such
Plant to be the Day that such Plant and the Driftwood Pipeline are Commercially Operable.



 


		4.4.2	If the First DFCD does not occur by the date that is one hundred and eighty (180) Days after the last
Day of the Final Window Period for Plant 1 (as such window period may have been extended pursuant to Section 4.3.9), Buyer may elect to
terminate this Agreement without liability for either Party pursuant to Section 19.2.9 by
delivering notice of such election to Seller no later than two hundred and seventy (270) Days after the last Day of the Final Window Period
for Plant 1 (as such window period may have been extended pursuant to Section 4.3.9), and Seller may elect to terminate this Agreement
without liability for either Party pursuant to Section 19.2.9 by delivering notice of such election to Buyer no earlier than five hundred
and forty (540) Days after the last Day of the Final Window Period for Plant 1 (as such window period may have been extended pursuant
to Section 4.3.9); provided, however, Seller may only terminate this Agreement if it terminates all other LNG sale and purchase
agreements with Foundation Customers that have a start of term associated with Plant 1 or Plant 2.

		5.4	Round-Up/Round-Down Quantities



 


		5.4.1	If, during the development of the ADP for a Contract Year, it appears that the delivery during such Contract
Year of the AACQ (calculated without regard to Section 5.2.1 or 5.2.5) (the “Preliminary AACQ”) would require Seller
to make available and Buyer to take a quantity of LNG that is less than a Full Cargo Lot (such quantity, the “Stub Quantity”),
then Seller may request pursuant to Section 8.1.3(b), or Buyer may request pursuant to Section 8.2.1, as applicable, that the AACQ be
increased by a quantity of LNG sufficient to deliver the AACQ in Full Cargo Lots. The other Party shall use reasonable efforts to accommodate
the request.



 


		5.4.2	If the other Party, through the use of reasonable efforts, is able to schedule the delivery or receipt,
as applicable, of the additional LNG, then the difference between the AACQ and the Preliminary AACQ shall be the “Round-Up Quantity”
for such Contract Year; provided, however, that the Round-Up Quantity shall be less than a Full Cargo Lot. In granting requests
for round-up quantities, Seller shall act in a non-discriminatory manner among Foundation Customers and shall give priority to the requests
of Foundation Customers over the requests of other Driftwood LNG Terminal buyers.



 


		5.4.3	If the other Party, despite its exercise of reasonable efforts, is not able to schedule the delivery or
receipt, as applicable, of the additional LNG, or if neither Party requests a Round-Up Quantity pursuant to Section 8.1.3(b) or 8.2.1,
as applicable, then the Stub Quantity shall be the “Round-Down Quantity” for such Contract Year; provided, however,
that the Round-Down Quantity shall be less than a Full Cargo Lot.



 






    27


     


    

 





		5.5	Major Scheduled Maintenance

by the Cargo DoP Quantity.



 


		5.6.3	Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Cargo DoP Quantity is within the operational tolerance of two percent
(2%) of the Scheduled Cargo Quantity (“Operational Tolerance”) (such Operational Tolerance to be exercised by Seller
only with respect to operational matters regarding the Driftwood LNG Terminal, and without regard to commercial considerations), the Cargo
DoP Payment shall be USD [***] (US$[***]).



 


		5.6.4	Buyer shall use reasonable efforts to mitigate Seller’s losses in accordance with this Section 5.6.



 


		5.6.5	Any payment that Seller makes under this Section 5.6 shall not be treated as an indirect, incidental,

including quantities not made available by Seller due to Force Majeure affecting Seller or Upstream FM (other than quantities of LNG that
Buyer elects to take on a Henry Hub basis pursuant to Section 14.3.4);



 


		(b)	any quantities of LNG not taken by Buyer due to Force Majeure affecting Buyer;



 


		(c)	any quantities of LNG that the relevant LNG Tanker is not capable of loading due to Seller’s delivery
of LNG that has a Gross Heating Value that is less than the value identified by Seller pursuant to Section 8.1.1(a); and



 


		(d)	any quantities of Off-Spec LNG that Buyer is relieved from taking pursuant to Section 12.3.



 


		5.7.2	If, with respect to any cargo identified in Section 5.7.1, Buyer does not take all or part of the Scheduled
Cargo Quantity of such cargo, and such failure to take is not otherwise excused pursuant to Section 5.7.1, then the amount by which the
Scheduled Cargo Quantity for such cargo exceeds the quantity of LNG taken by Buyer in relation to such cargo shall be the “Cargo
Shortfall Quantity”.



 


		5.7.3	Buyer shall pay Seller an amount equal to the Cargo Shortfall Quantity, multiplied by the CSP (the
 “Cargo Shortfall Payment”).



 


		5.7.4	Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Cargo Shortfall Quantity is within the Operational Tolerance (such
Operational Tolerance to be exercised by Buyer only with respect to operational matters regarding the LNG Tanker, and without regard to
commercial considerations), the Cargo Shortfall Payment shall be USD [***](US$[***]).



 


		5.7.5	Seller shall use reasonable efforts to sell or cause to be sold the Cargo Shortfall Quantity (whether
as LNG or Gas) to a Third Party or multiple Third Parties through one or more sales (each such sale, a “Mitigation Sale”)
generating a Mitigation Sale Payment, or otherwise mitigate as agreed by the Parties in writing. Seller shall not be obliged to effect
or cause to be effected any Mitigation Sale under its third-party sales obligations if such sales obligations were effective at the time
of the earlier to occur of (i)  Buyer’s failure to take such LNG;
or (ii) Buyer’s notice to Seller that it will not take such LNG.

		5.7.6	If Seller sells or causes to be sold the Cargo Shortfall Quantity or any portion thereof in a Mitigation
Sale, Seller shall, within ten (10) Days of Seller’s receipt of the final payment from a Mitigation Sale, refund to Buyer an amount
(the “Mitigation Sale Payment”) equal to the lesser of (x) the Cargo Shortfall Payment in respect of the Cargo Shortfall
Quantity (less any Mitigation Sale Payments already received pursuant to other Mitigation Sales in respect of the same Cargo Shortfall
Quantity) and (y) an amount calculated as follows:



 


		(a)	the proceeds of the Mitigation Sale; plus



 


		(b)	any actual, reasonable and verifiable savings obtained by Seller as a result of the Mitigation Sale as
opposed to the sale of LNG to Buyer, including savings associated with reduced or avoided costs and fuel gas for LNG production and other
reduced or avoided costs; less



 


		(c)	any actual, reasonable and verifiable incremental costs incurred by Seller as a result of the Mitigation
Sale.



 


		5.7.7	Seller shall use reasonable efforts to mitigate Buyer’s Losses in accordance with this Section 5.7.



 


		5.7.8	Any payment that Buyer makes under this Section 5.7 shall not be treated as an indirect, incidental, consequential,
punitive or exemplary loss or a loss of income or profits for purposes of Section 15.2.1.

this Section 7.5.3. Seller shall cause an Affiliate to procure tug services at the Driftwood LNG Terminal from a competent and experienced
tug services provider. As soon as reasonably practicable after the Affiliate has so contracted for tug services, Seller shall notify Buyer
thereof. Prior to the arrival of any LNG Tanker at the Loading Port, Buyer shall cause Transporter or the master of each LNG Tanker (acting
on behalf of the ship-owner and charterer) making use of the port or marine facilities at the Loading Port on behalf of Buyer, to enter
into a tug services agreement with the designated Affiliate for Buyer’s procurement, at its sole risk and expense, of tug
services at the Driftwood LNG Terminal, which tug services shall include towing and escort services. Such agreement shall provide that
the fees for tug services shall be paid by the Transporter to the designated Affiliate. Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts
to cause the fee for tug services to be applied on a non-discriminatory basis among all LNG buyers at the Driftwood LNG Terminal. Fees
and other significant terms of the tug services agreement shall be in line with those at similar liquefaction facilities located on the
United States Gulf Coast. In the event the Transporter or the master of an LNG Tanker fails to execute a tug services agreement that complies
with the requirements of this Section 7.5.3, Seller may refuse to make LNG available and in such event, Buyer shall be deemed to have
failed to take the applicable Scheduled Cargo Quantity, and Sections 5.7.2 to 5.7.7 shall apply. Seller shall cause line handling services
to be provided at the Driftwood LNG Terminal for Buyer’s procurement at Buyer’s sole risk and expense. Pilot services shall
be obtained by Buyer in accordance with the requirements of Governmental Authorities. Without prejudice to Buyer’s obligations to
secure towing, escort, line handling, and pilot services in accordance with this Section 7.5.3, Seller and its designated Affiliate procuring
the tug services shall have no liability to Buyer for the performance of the tug services or any other marine services by the designated
tug services provider or any other marine services providers.



 


		7.5.4	Buyer shall pay or cause to be paid: (a) all Port Charges directly to the appropriate Person except for
any Port Charges paid by Seller, Seller’s Affiliates or the operator of the Driftwood LNG Terminal on Buyer’s behalf as required
by Applicable Law or the policies of the Loading Port; and (b) all documented charges payable by reason of any LNG Tanker having to shift
from berth at the Driftwood LNG Terminal as a result of the action or inaction of Buyer, its Transporter or the LNG Tanker owner or operator.
Seller shall reimburse Buyer for actual documented Port Charges paid by Buyer pursuant to Section 7.5.4(a) that are ordinary and customary
at such time in respect of an LNG Tanker entering or leaving the relevant Loading Port or loading LNG when calling at such Loading Port,
in each case, under typical conditions; provided, however, that Seller shall not be obligated to reimburse Buyer for any Port Charges
imposed on Buyer in excess of what is ordinary and customary at such time at the Loading Port under typical conditions, including any
Port Charges imposed on Buyer resulting from or in connection with: (i) any actions or omissions of Buyer, its Transporter or the LNG
Tanker owner or operator that result in an LNG Tanker being delayed in entering or leaving the Loading Port or loading LNG; (ii) a collision
between the LNG Tanker and any other vessel, marine or shore-based facility, or other object or environmental hazard; or (iii) violation
by Buyer, its Transporter or the LNG Tanker owner or operator of any Applicable Law, this Agreement or the Driftwood Marine Operations
Manual. Buyer shall invoice Seller pursuant to Section 10.1.5 for such amounts no later than one hundred twenty (120) Days after the end
of the Delivery Window for the applicable cargo.
Upon Buyer’s request, Seller shall endeavor in good faith to cooperate with the Loading Port’s port authorities with the aim
of reducing Port Charges not reimbursed by Seller to levels that are in line with port charges established by port authorities for other
U.S. LNG loading terminals under the same or similar circumstances and conditions under non-emergency situations, to the extent such port
charges are public information.

		7.11	Berthing Assignment



 


		7.11.1	Seller shall berth or cause to be berthed an LNG Tanker which has tendered NOR before or during its
                                                                       Delivery Window promptly after Seller determines such LNG Tanker will not interfere with berthing and loading of any other scheduled
                                                                       LNG vessel with a higher berthing priority but in no event later than the end of the Delivery Window allocated to such LNG Tanker; provided,
                                                                       however, that if Seller does not berth or cause to be berthed such LNG Tanker by the end of the Delivery Window, (a) Seller
                                                                       shall use reasonable efforts to berth or cause to be berthed such LNG Tanker within forty-eight (48) hours after the end of its
                                                                       Delivery Window, (b) Buyer shall use reasonable efforts to cause the LNG Tanker to remain at the PBS or applicable anchorage
                                                                       location for the Driftwood LNG Terminal, and (c) Buyer’s sole recourse and remedy during such period of time for
                                                                       Seller’s failure to berth or cause to be berthed the LNG Tanker by the end of the Delivery Window shall be demurrage pursuant
                                                                       to Section 7.12.3, payment for excess boil-off pursuant to Section 7.12.4 and provision by Seller of a cool-down pursuant to Section
                                                                       7.16.1(b). If (i) at any time during such forty-eight (48) hour period, Buyer is no longer able, having used reasonable efforts, to
                                                                       cause the LNG Tanker to remain at the PBS or applicable anchorage location, or (ii) the forty-eight (48) hour period expires, and in
                                                                       either case Seller has not berthed or caused to be berthed the LNG Tanker, and such delay is not attributable to a reason that would
                                                                       result in an extension of Allotted Laytime under Section 7.12.1, then Seller shall be deemed to have failed to make the
Scheduled Cargo Quantity of the relevant cargo available for delivery and the provisions of Sections 5.6.2 to 5.6.4 shall apply. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, if, as a result of the Driftwood LNG Terminal not being ready to berth for reasons attributable to Buyer or Buyer’s
Affiliates, Seller fails to make available a cargo, then Buyer shall be deemed to have failed to take such cargo and the provisions of
Sections 5.7.2 to 5.7.7 shall apply.



 


		7.11.2	For each delivery window period, Seller shall determine or cause to be determined the berthing priority
among LNG vessels which have tendered NOR before or during their scheduled delivery window as follows:



 


		(a)	The first berthing priority for a delivery window period shall be for an LNG vessel scheduled for such
delivery window period. Priority within this group shall be given to the LNG vessel which has first tendered to Seller its NOR. Once an
LNG vessel achieves a first berthing priority pursuant to this Section 7.11.2(a) or 7.11.2(c), such LNG vessel shall maintain such priority
until such LNG vessel is berthed, so long as its tendered NOR does not become invalid pursuant to Section 7.13.1;



 


		(b)	The second berthing priority for a delivery window period shall be for an LNG vessel scheduled for arrival
before such delivery window period, which tendered to Seller its NOR prior to or during its scheduled delivery window but which was unable
to proceed to berth for reasons not attributable to Buyer, the Transporter, the LNG Tanker or its master, crew, owner or operator. Priority
within this group shall be given to the LNG vessel which has first tendered to Seller its NOR; and



 






    41


     


    

 


		(c)	The third berthing priority for a delivery window period shall be for an LNG vessel scheduled for arrival
after such delivery window period. Priority within this group shall be given to the LNG vessel which has first tendered to Seller its
NOR. An LNG vessel with third berthing priority pursuant to this Section 7.11.2(c) will achieve a first berthing priority on its scheduled
delivery window pursuant to Section 7.11.2(a) if such LNG vessel has not been berthed prior to such date, so long as its tendered NOR
does not become invalid pursuant to Section 7.13.1.



 


		7.11.3	If an LNG Tanker tenders NOR after the end of its Delivery Window, Seller shall use reasonable efforts
to berth or cause to be berthed such LNG Tanker as soon as reasonably practical; provided, however, that, unless otherwise agreed
with Buyer, Seller shall have no obligation to use such efforts to berth or cause to be berthed an LNG Tanker that tenders NOR more than
forty-eight (48) hours after the end of its Delivery Window. If, as of the forty-eighth (48th) hour after the end of the Delivery Window,
the LNG Tanker has not tendered NOR, and such
delay is not attributable to a reason that would result in an extension of Allowed Laytime under Sections 7.13.2(a)(i)-(viii), Buyer shall
be deemed to have failed to take delivery of the Scheduled Cargo Quantity of the relevant cargo and the provisions of Sections 5.7.2 to
5.7.7 shall apply.



 


		7.12	Berth Laytime



 


		7.12.1	The allotted laytime for each LNG Tanker (“Allotted Laytime”) shall be thirty (30)
hours, as extended by any period of delay that is caused by:



 


		(a)	reasons attributable to a Governmental Authority, Buyer, the Transporter, the LNG Tanker or its master,
crew, owner or operator or any Third Party outside of the reasonable control of Seller or the operator of the Driftwood LNG Terminal,
including security clearance review by the United States Coast Guard;



 


		(b)	Force Majeure or Adverse Weather Conditions;



 


		(c)	unscheduled curtailment or temporary discontinuation of operations at the Driftwood LNG Terminal necessary
for reasons of safety, except to the extent such unscheduled curtailment or temporary discontinuation of operations is due to Seller’s
failure to operate and maintain its facilities as a Reasonable and Prudent Operator;



 


		(d)	time at berth during any cool-down pursuant to Sections 7.16.1(a) and (c);



 


		(e)	time at berth during any gas-up pursuant to Section 7.17;



 


		(f)	nighttime transit restrictions, if applicable;



 






    42


     


    

 


		(g)	time to transit from the PBS or anchorage location, as applicable, to a berth of the Driftwood LNG Terminal,
in the event NOR becomes effective pursuant to Section 7.10.2(a)(ii) or 7.10.2(b)‎;



 


		(h)	tidal restrictions; and



 


		(i)	any other interruption impacting the Loading Port, including the unavailability or delay of Pilot services,
tugs, and other similar interruptions, to the extent such interruptions are not caused by reasons attributable to Seller or the operator
of the Driftwood LNG Terminal.



 


		7.12.2	The actual laytime for each LNG Tanker (“Actual Laytime”) shall commence when the
                                                                       NOR is effective, and shall end when the last loading arm of the Driftwood LNG Terminal has been disconnected from the LNG Tanker and Seller or the operator of
the Driftwood LNG Terminal has cleared the LNG Tanker for departure.



 


		7.12.3	In the event Actual Laytime exceeds Allotted Laytime (as extended pursuant to Section 7.12.1) (“Demurrage

		7.12.4	In the event (a) an LNG Tanker is delayed in berthing at the Driftwood LNG Terminal or commencement of
LNG loading due to an event occurring at or near the Driftwood LNG Terminal (including at the berth) and for a reason that would not result
in an extension of Allotted Laytime under Section 7.12.1, and (b) as a result thereof, the commencement of LNG loading is delayed beyond
twenty-four (24) hours after the LNG Tanker (i) has either tendered a valid NOR or berthed and (ii) is cleared by the Governmental Authorities
to commence loading, Seller shall pay Buyer as liquidated damages an amount, on account of excess boil-off. The amount payable shall equal
(x) the total number of full hours by which commencement of LNG loading is delayed beyond the aforementioned twenty-four (24) hour period,
multiplied by (y) the CSP, multiplied by (z) a quantity in MMBtu equal to (A) the guaranteed daily ballast rate of boil-off
of such LNG Tanker pursuant to Form B of the relevant charterparty or similar description provided by the LNG Tanker’s owner in
the relevant charterparty, divided by (B) twenty-four (24) hours per Day, multiplied by (C) the cargo containment capacity
of such LNG Tanker (in MMBtu), provided that in no event shall such quantity of MMBtu exceed the quantity of LNG onboard the LNG Tanker
at the time it issued its valid NOR. Buyer shall invoice Seller for such excess boil-off within ninety (90) Days after the applicable
event, pursuant to Section 10.1.4. Any payment that Seller makes under this Section 7.12.4 shall not be treated as an indirect, incidental,

		7.13	LNG Tanker Not Ready for LNG Loading; Excess Laytime



 


		7.13.1	Except in the event Seller provides a cool-down service under Section 7.16.1(b), if any LNG
                                                                       Tanker previously believed to be ready for LNG loading is determined to be not ready after being berthed for reasons not
                                                                       attributable to Seller or the operator of the Driftwood LNG Terminal, the NOR shall be invalid, and Seller may direct the LNG
                                                                       Tanker’s master to vacate the berth and proceed to anchorage, whether or not other LNG vessels are awaiting the berth, unless
                                                                       it appears reasonably certain to Seller that such LNG Tanker can be made ready
without disrupting the overall berthing schedule of the Driftwood LNG Terminal or operations of the Driftwood LNG Terminal. When an unready
LNG Tanker at anchorage becomes ready for LNG loading, its master shall notify Seller. If, as a result of such LNG Tanker not being ready
to berth for reasons not attributable to Seller or the operator of the Driftwood LNG Terminal, Buyer fails to take a cargo, the provisions
of Sections 5.7.2 to 5.7.7 shall apply. If, as a result of such LNG Tanker not being ready to berth for reasons attributable to Seller
or the operator of the Driftwood LNG Terminal, Buyer fails to take a cargo, Seller shall be deemed to have failed to make available such
cargo and the provisions of Sections 5.6.2 to 5.6.4 shall apply.



 


		7.13.2	The following shall apply with respect to berthing:



 


		(a)	An LNG Tanker shall complete LNG loading and vacate the berth as soon as possible but not later than thirty
(30) hours from the time the LNG Tanker is all fast at the berth and has received all required Approvals from the relevant Governmental
Authorities (including security clearance from the United States Coast Guard). Such thirty (30) hour-period (“Allowed Laytime”)
shall be extended by any period of delay that is caused by:



 


		(i)	reasons attributable to a Governmental Authority, Seller, the operator of the Driftwood LNG Terminal or
any Third Party outside the reasonable control of Buyer, the Transporter, the LNG Tanker or its master, crew, owner or operator;



 


		(ii)	Force Majeure or Adverse Weather Conditions;



 


		(iii)	unscheduled curtailment or temporary discontinuation of operations at the Driftwood LNG Terminal necessary
for reasons of safety, except to the extent such unscheduled curtailment or temporary discontinuation of operations is attributable to
Buyer, the Transporter, the LNG Tanker or its master, crew, owner or operator;

		(v)	time at berth during any gas-up pursuant to Section 7.17;



 


		(vi)	nighttime transit restrictions, if applicable;



 


		(vii)	tidal restrictions; and



 


		(viii)	any other interruption impacting the Loading Port, including the unavailability or delay of Pilot services,
tugs, and other similar interruptions, to the extent such interruptions are not caused by reasons attributable to Buyer,
the Transporter, the LNG Tanker or its master, crew, owner or operator.



 






    44


     


    

 


		(b)	If an LNG Tanker fails to depart at the end of its Allowed Laytime (as extended pursuant to Sections 7.13.2(a)(i)-(viii)),
another LNG vessel is awaiting the berth and the LNG Tanker’s continued occupancy of the berth will disrupt the overall berthing
schedule of the Driftwood LNG Terminal or operations of the Driftwood LNG Terminal, Seller may direct the LNG Tanker to vacate the berth
and proceed to sea at utmost dispatch.



 


		(c)	If an LNG Tanker fails to depart the berth at the end of its Allowed Laytime (as extended pursuant to
Sections 7.13.2(a)(i)-(viii)) and as a result the subsequent LNG vessel is prevented from or delayed in loading, Buyer shall reimburse
Seller for any and all actual documented demurrage or excess boil-off that Seller becomes contractually obligated to pay to any Third
Party with respect to such subsequent LNG vessel, as a result of the LNG Tanker not completing LNG loading and vacating the berth as required
by this Section 7.13.2; provided that Buyer shall not be required to reimburse Seller for any amounts based on a demurrage rate
or excess boil-off rate in excess of those specified in Section 7.12.3 and Section 7.12.4, as applicable. Seller shall invoice Buyer for
any amounts due under this Section 7.13.2(c) pursuant to Section 10.1.4 within ninety (90) Days after the relevant Delivery Window.



 


		(d)	In the event an LNG Tanker fails to vacate the berth pursuant to this Section 7.13 and Buyer is not taking
actions to cause it to vacate the berth, Seller may effect such removal at the expense of Buyer.



 


		7.14	LNG Loadings at the Driftwood LNG Terminal



 


		7.14.1	Seller shall cooperate with Transporters (or their agents) and with the master of each LNG Tanker to facilitate
the continuous and efficient loading of LNG hereunder.

Gas in such quantities as are necessary for the safe loading of LNG at such rates, pressures and temperatures as may be required by the
design of the LNG Tanker or any standard operating practices of such LNG Tanker, provided such practices conform to International LNG
Vessel Standards.



 


		7.14.3	Promptly after completion of loading of each cargo, Seller shall send or cause to be sent to Buyer a
                                                                       certificate of origin, certificate of quantity, certificate of quality, cargo manifest and bill of lading, together with such other documents concerning the cargo
as may reasonably be requested by Buyer.



 


		7.14.4	Buyer, in cooperation with Seller, shall cause the LNG Tanker to depart safely and expeditiously from
the berth upon completion of LNG loading.

MMBtu) of the Off-Spec LNG so delivered; provided, however, that Buyer, any Affiliate of Buyer, Transporter, and the operator of
the Discharge Terminal shall not be required to incur costs in excess of those reimbursable by Seller; or



 


		(b)	if Buyer determines in good faith that it cannot, using reasonable efforts, transport and treat such Off-Spec
LNG to meet the Specifications (or to make such LNG marketable) within the cost limitations set forth in Section 12.3.2(a), then: (i)
Buyer shall be entitled to reject such Off-Spec LNG by giving Seller notice of such rejection as soon as practicable, and in any case
within ninety-six (96) hours after (A) Seller notifies Buyer that such LNG is Off-Spec LNG and the actual extent to which such Off-Spec
LNG does not comply with the Specifications or (B) Buyer becomes aware that such LNG is Off-Spec LNG, whichever occurs first; (ii) Buyer
shall be entitled to dispose of the loaded portion of such Off-Spec LNG (or regasified LNG produced therefrom) in any manner that Buyer,
acting in accordance with the standards of a Reasonable and Prudent Operator, deems appropriate; and (iii) Seller shall reimburse Buyer
in respect of and indemnify and hold Buyer harmless from all direct loss, damages, costs and expenses incurred by Buyer, any Affiliate
of Buyer, Transporter or the operator of the Discharge Terminal (if, and only to the extent that, Buyer is contractually liable to such
Transporter or operator) as a result of the delivery of such Off-Spec LNG, including in connection with the handling, treatment or safe
disposal of such Off-Spec LNG or other LNG being held at the Discharge Terminal or being carried onboard the LNG Tanker which was contaminated

                                                                              however, that representatives of the Parties attending such tests and verifications shall do so at the cost and risk of the
                                                                              Party they represent.



 


		13.11.2	In the event that a Party inspects or requests the testing/verification of any of the other
                                                                          Party’s devices on an exceptional basis in each case as provided in Section 13.10.1, the Party requesting the

		14.	Force Majeure and Upstream FM



 


		14.1	Force Majeure



 


Neither Party shall be liable to the other
Party for any delay or failure in performance under this Agreement if and to the extent such delay or failure is a result of Force Majeure.
To the extent that the Party so affected fails to use commercially reasonable efforts to overcome or mitigate the effects of such events
of Force Majeure, it shall not be excused for any delay or failure in performance that would have been avoided by using such commercially
reasonable efforts. Subject to the provisions of this Section 14, the term “Force Majeure” shall mean any act, event
or circumstance, whether of the kind described herein or otherwise, that is not reasonably within the control of, does not result from
the fault or negligence of, and would not have been avoided or overcome by the exercise of reasonable diligence by, the Party claiming
Force Majeure or an Affiliate of the Party claiming Force Majeure, such Party and, as applicable, its Affiliate having observed a standard
of conduct that is consistent with a Reasonable and Prudent Operator, and that prevents or delays in whole or in part such Party’s
performance of one or more of its obligations under this Agreement.


 


		14.1.1	Force Majeure may include circumstances of the following kind, provided that such circumstances satisfy
the definition of Force Majeure set forth above:

threat of piracy;



 


		(d)	the breakdown or failure of, freezing of, breakage or accident to, or the necessity for making repairs
or alterations to any facilities or equipment;



 


		(e)	in respect of Seller, loss of, accidental damage to, or inaccessibility to or inoperability of (i) the
Driftwood LNG Terminal or any Connecting Pipeline or (ii) the liquefaction and loading facilities at any alternate source pursuant to
Section 3.1.2 and any Gas pipeline as may be directly interconnected thereto,
and subject to Section 14.2.4;



 






    67


     


    

 


		(f)	in respect of Buyer, events affecting the ability of any LNG Tanker to receive and transport LNG including
the unavailability of tug services, subject to Section 14.2.3; and



 


		(g)	the withdrawal, denial, or expiration of, or failure to obtain, any Approval.



 


		14.1.2	Nothing in this Section 14.1 shall be construed to require a Party to observe a higher standard of conduct
than that required of a Reasonable and Prudent Operator as a condition to claiming the existence of Force Majeure.



 


		14.2	Limitations on Force Majeure



 


		14.2.1	Indemnity and Payment Obligations. Notwithstanding Section 14.1, no Force Majeure shall relieve,
suspend, or otherwise excuse either Party from performing any obligation to indemnify, reimburse, hold harmless or otherwise pay the other
Party under this Agreement.



 


		14.2.2	Events Not Force Majeure. Without prejudice to Seller’s rights hereunder in respect of events
of Upstream FM, the following events shall not constitute Force Majeure:



 


		(a)	a Party’s inability to finance its obligations under this Agreement or the unavailability of funds
to pay amounts when due in the currency of payment;



 


		(b)	the unavailability of, or any event affecting, any facilities at or associated with any loading port or
unloading port (or downstream of an unloading port) other than the Driftwood LNG Terminal or any alternate source agreed by the Parties
pursuant to Section 3.1.2;



 


		(c)	the ability of Seller or Buyer to obtain better economic terms for LNG or Gas from an alternative supplier
or buyer, as applicable;



 


		(d)	changes in either Party’s market factors, default of payment obligations or other commercial, financial
or economic conditions, including failure or loss of any of Buyer’s or Seller’s Gas, LNG or electric power markets;



 


		(e)	breakdown or failure of plant or equipment caused by normal wear and tear or by a failure to properly
maintain such plant or equipment;



 


		(f)	the non-availability or lack of economically obtainable Gas reserves;



 






    68


     


    

 


		(g)	in the case of Seller, any event arising from an action or omission of (i) any Affiliate of Seller, (ii)
the contractor or sub-contractor or agent of Seller or Affiliate of Seller, or (iii) the operator of the Driftwood LNG Terminal, in each
case to the extent that, had Seller taken such action or experienced such event, such event would not constitute Force Majeure pursuant
to the provisions of this Section 14;



 


		(h)	in the case of Buyer, any event arising from an action or omission of (i) any Affiliate of Buyer, (ii)
any customer of Buyer scheduled to take delivery of LNG from Buyer at the Driftwood LNG Terminal, (iii) the contractor or sub-contractor
or agent of Buyer or Affiliate of Buyer, (iv) the operator of any part of any Discharge Terminal or (v) any Transporter, in each case
to the extent that, had Buyer taken such action or experienced such event, such event would not constitute Force Majeure pursuant to the
provisions of this Section 14; and



 


		(i)	the loss of interruptible or secondary firm transportation service on a Connecting Pipeline or any pipeline
upstream of a Connecting Pipeline unless the cause of such loss was an event that would satisfy the definition of Force Majeure hereunder
and primary in-the-path transportation service on such pipeline was also interrupted as a result of such event.



 


		14.2.3	LNG Tankers.



 


		(a)	Force Majeure relief in respect of Buyer for an event described in Section 14.1.1(f) affecting a specific
LNG Tanker shall only be available with respect to cargoes that are scheduled to be transported on such LNG Tanker in the applicable Ninety
Day Schedule or ADP for such Contract Year, or (to the extent that the ADP for the following Contract Year has been issued by Seller)
in the ADP for the following Contract Year.



 


		(b)	With respect to any particular cargo, Buyer shall not be entitled to claim Force Majeure relief for an
event affecting the LNG Tanker nominated for such cargo if such LNG Tanker was affected by, or should reasonably have been expected by
Buyer or its customer utilizing such LNG Tanker (in each case acting as a Reasonable and Prudent Operator) to be affected by, such Force
Majeure event at the time it was nominated by Buyer pursuant to Section 8.1.2 or Section 8.3, as applicable, for the relevant cargo.



 






    69


     


    

 


		14.2.4	Alternative Sources. Force Majeure relief in respect of Seller for an event described in
                                                                       Section 14.1.1(e) affecting an alternate LNG source or facility thereat agreed between the Parties pursuant to Section 3.1.2 shall
                                                                       (a) only be available with respect to the cargo that is scheduled to be loaded at the Loading Port of such facility in the ADP or
                                                                       applicable Ninety Day Schedule for such Contract Year or, to the extent that the ADP for the following Contract Year has been
                                                                       issued, in the ADP for such following Contract Year and (b) not be available for an event affecting such alternate LNG source or
                                                                       facility thereat if such alternate LNG source or facility thereat was affected by such Force Majeure at the time it was nominated by
                                                                       Seller pursuant to Section 3.1.2 for the applicable cargo.



 


		14.3	Upstream FM



 


		14.3.1	The Parties recognize that Seller’s obligation to make available LNG to Buyer is dependent upon
one or more of Seller’s Affiliates owning or contracting for the Upstream Assets; provided, however, that the ownership or
contracting by one or more of Seller’s Affiliates of the Upstream Assets shall not be a condition precedent under Section 2.3 to
the effectiveness of this Agreement. Subject to Sections 14.3.2, 14.3.4 and 14.3.6, and irrespective of Seller’s ability to otherwise
perform under this Agreement, Seller shall have no obligation to make available any cargo with a Delivery Window scheduled in the ADP
or Ninety Day Schedule, as applicable, to occur during Upstream FM claimed by Seller (each such cargo, an “Upstream FM Cargo”).
The operator of the affected Upstream Assets shall not have any obligation to purchase any Gas in order to overcome or mitigate the effects
of an event of Upstream FM. Seller and its Affiliates shall not have any obligation to purchase or take delivery of Gas or LNG to make
available Upstream FM Cargoes, other than Gas to produce Upstream FM Cargoes that Buyer has elected to take on a Henry Hub basis pursuant
to Section 14.3.4, in order to overcome or mitigate the effects of an event of Upstream FM. The term “Upstream FM”
shall mean any act, event or circumstance that is not reasonably within the control of and does not result from the fault or negligence
of Seller, its Affiliates, or the operator of the affected Upstream Assets, that would not have been avoided or overcome by a Reasonable
and Prudent Operator operating the affected Upstream Assets, and that, for at least seven (7) consecutive Days, results in the total daily
quantity of Gas deliveries from the Upstream Assets prior to or at Liquid Trading Points being reduced from a quantity that was sufficient
to meet or exceed the Threshold Quantity; where “Threshold Quantity” means a quantity equal to (a) the total daily
quantity of feed Gas required at the Gas metering station of the Driftwood LNG Terminal to produce LNG for the Foundation Customers, multiplied
by (b) one hundred five percent (105%). The non-availability or lack of economically obtainable gas reserves shall not constitute
Upstream FM.



 






    70


     


    

 


		14.3.2	Seller shall provide notice to Buyer of any Upstream FM claimed by Seller. In its notice, Seller shall
specify each Upstream FM Cargo claimed at that time by Seller. From time to time thereafter, Seller may provide additional notices to
specify any additional Upstream FM Cargoes claimed by Seller at the time of such notices. Seller’s
notices specifying Upstream FM Cargoes claimed by Seller shall only include cargoes with Delivery Windows that commence no earlier than
one hundred and twenty (120) hours after the time Seller provides such notice. Seller shall provide notice to Buyer at the time Seller
ends its claim of Upstream FM.



 


		14.3.3	If, in connection with any Upstream FM claimed by Seller, Seller or its Affiliates have received any force
majeure notices from operators of the Upstream Assets, Seller shall promptly provide a copy of each such force majeure notice to Buyer.



 


		14.3.4	Notwithstanding Section 14.3.1, Buyer shall have the right to elect to take, on a Henry Hub basis, one
or more Upstream FM Cargoes if Buyer provides notice of such election to Seller by the later of (i) forty-eight (48) hours of Seller providing
notice pursuant to Section 14.3.2 claiming such LNG cargo(es) as Upstream FM Cargo(es) and (ii) five (5) Days prior to the applicable
Delivery Window. If Buyer makes such election by such deadline, then (a) Seller shall not be excused, due to Upstream FM, from making
available each such Upstream FM Cargo that Buyer has elected to take on a Henry Hub basis, (b) Buyer shall take and pay for each such
Upstream FM Cargo and (c) the CSP (expressed in USD per MMBtu rounded to two decimal places) for each such Upstream FM Cargo for all purposes
of this Agreement, including Sections 5.6 and 5.7 if applicable, shall be as follows:



 


CSP = ([***] x HH)
+ US$[***]/MMBtu


 


where:


 


“HH” or “Henry
Hub” means the final settlement price (in USD per MMBtu) for the New York Mercantile Exchange’s Henry Hub natural gas futures
contract for the Month in which the Delivery Window of the relevant Upstream FM Cargo is scheduled to begin in accordance with the ADP
or Ninety Day Schedule, as applicable.


 


Buyer’s election pursuant to this
Section 14.3.4 in respect of a given Upstream FM Cargo shall be irrevocable. If Buyer fails to notify Seller of Buyer’s election
by the deadline specified in this Section 14.3.4 in respect of a given Upstream FM Cargo, then Buyer shall be deemed to have elected not
to take the Upstream FM Cargo on a Henry Hub basis and shall not be entitled to take the Upstream FM Cargo. If Buyer elects not to take,
or is deemed to have elected not to take, any Upstream FM Cargo on a Henry Hub basis, Seller shall be free to dispose of the Upstream
FM Cargo at its sole discretion, without compensation to Buyer.


 






    71


     


    

 


		14.3.5	During the occurrence of Upstream FM claimed by Seller, Seller shall cause its Affiliates that own or
contract for Upstream Assets to use commercially reasonable efforts to overcome or mitigate the effects of the Upstream FM.



 


		14.3.6	Seller shall comply with the Foundation Customer Priority in allocating any LNG that is made available
at the Driftwood LNG Terminal during the occurrence of Upstream FM claimed by Seller (other than LNG made available on a Henry Hub basis
to any Foundation Customer), commencing one hundred and twenty (120) hours after Seller provides notice to Buyer claiming such Upstream
FM.



 


		14.3.7	Where Seller has claimed Upstream FM in accordance with Section ‎14.3.2, and Seller (i) elects to
purchase or take delivery of Gas or LNG to make available (other than as a result of Buyer’s election in Section ‎14.3.4),
or (ii) cures in whole or in part the effects of such Upstream FM in respect of, at least one (1) Upstream FM Cargo, Seller shall no longer
be entitled to rely on such claim of Upstream FM, nor the event or circumstance which gave rise to such claim of Upstream FM for any subsequent
LNG cargo.



 


		14.4	Notification



 


A Force Majeure event shall take effect
at the moment such an event or circumstance occurs. Upon the occurrence of a Force Majeure event that prevents, interferes with or delays
the performance by Seller or Buyer, in whole or in part, of any of its obligations under this Agreement, or the occurrence of an Upstream
FM claim by Seller (to the extent the substance of the following notice is not already included in any notice provided under Section 14.3),
the Party affected shall give notice thereof to the other Party describing such event and stating the obligations the performance of which
are affected (either in the original or in supplemental notices) and stating, as applicable:


 


		14.4.1	the estimated period during which performance may be prevented, interfered with or delayed, including,
to the extent known or ascertainable, the estimated extent of such reduction in performance;



 


		14.4.2	the particulars of the program to be implemented to resume normal performance under this Agreement;



 


		14.4.3	the anticipated quantity of LNG scheduled in the ADP for a Contract Year that will not be made available
or taken, as the case may be, by reason of Force Majeure or Upstream FM, as applicable; and



 


		14.4.4	in the case of Upstream FM, such supporting information as may be required by Buyer (acting reasonably)
to demonstrate the occurrence of an Upstream FM in accordance with Section 14.3.1.



 


Such notices shall thereafter be
updated at least monthly during the period of such claimed Force Majeure or Upstream FM (as applicable) specifying the actions being
taken to remedy the circumstances causing such Force Majeure or Upstream FM (as applicable). For clarity, and without prejudice to
Section ‎14.3.7, neither Party shall be obligated to claim Force Majeure or Upstream FM (as applicable) in respect of any
particular event or circumstance, and neither Party shall be restricted from ending its claim of Force Majeure or Upstream FM (as
applicable) regardless of any particular event or circumstance.


 






    72


     


    

 


		14.5	Measures



 


Prior to resumption of normal performance,
the Parties shall continue to perform their obligations under this Agreement to the extent not excused by such event of Force Majeure
or event of Upstream FM.


 


		14.6	No Extension of Term



 


The Term shall not be extended as a result
of or by the duration of an event of Force Majeure or event of Upstream FM.


 


		14.7	Settlement of Industrial Disturbances



 


Settlement of strikes, lockouts, or other
industrial disturbances shall be entirely within the discretion of the Party experiencing such situations, and nothing in this Agreement
shall require such Party to settle industrial disputes by yielding to demands made on it when it considers such action inadvisable.


 


		14.8	Foundation Customer Priority



 


Notwithstanding any other provision in
this Section 14, during any event of Force Majeure affecting Seller, Seller shall apportion the remaining LNG available for loading at
the Driftwood LNG Terminal according to the Foundation Customer Priority. “Foundation Customer Priority” means that
Buyer and other Foundation Customers will receive priority for receiving the remaining LNG available for loading at the Driftwood LNG
Terminal in the following manner: all such LNG will be allocated, to Buyer based upon the proportionate share of Buyer’s AACQ to
the sum of all Foundation Customers’ adjusted annual contract quantities (including Buyer’s AACQ), and to each other Foundation
Customer based upon the proportionate share of such Foundation Customer’s adjusted annual contract quantity to the sum of all Foundation
Customers’ adjusted annual contract quantities (including Buyer’s AACQ), in each case, without regard to whether the underlying
event affects Plant 1, Plant 2 or any other Plant.


 


		15.	Liabilities and Indemnification



 


		15.1	General



 


Subject to Section 15.2, and without
prejudice to any indemnity provided under this Agreement, Seller shall be liable to Buyer, and Buyer shall be liable to Seller for
any loss which has been suffered as a result of the breach by the Party liable of any one or more of its obligations under this
Agreement, to the extent that the Party liable should reasonably have foreseen the loss.


 






    73


     


    

 


		15.2	Limitations on Liability



 


		15.2.1	Incidental and Consequential Losses. Neither Party shall be liable to the other Party hereunder
as a result of any act or omission in the course of or in connection with the performance of this Agreement, for or in respect of:



 


		(a)	without prejudice to Sections 5.6.5, 5.7.8, 7.12.3, and 7.12.4, any indirect, incidental, consequential,
punitive or exemplary losses;



 


		(b)	without prejudice to Sections 5.6.5, 5.7.8, 7.12.3, and 7.12.4, any loss of income or profits, lost or
increased production costs, shutdown or loss of production, loss of use, loss of contract or loss of goodwill or business interruption;



 


		(c)	except as expressly provided in this Agreement, any failure of performance or delay in performance to
the extent relieved by the application of Force Majeure or Upstream FM in accordance with Section 14; or



 


		(d)	except as expressly provided in this Agreement, any losses arising from any claim, demand or action made
or brought against the other Party by a Third Party.



 


		15.2.2	Exclusive Remedies. A Party’s sole liability, and the other Party’s exclusive remedy,
arising under or in connection with Sections 5.6, 5.7, 7.12.3, 7.12.4, 7.13.2(c) and 12.3 and this Section 15 shall be as set forth in
each such provision, respectively.



 


		15.2.3	Liquidated Damages. The Parties agree that it would be impracticable to determine accurately the
extent of the loss, damage and expenditure that either Party would have in the circumstances described in Sections 5.6, 5.7, 7.12.3 and
7.12.4. Accordingly, the Parties have estimated and agreed in advance that the sole liability, and exclusive remedy for such circumstances
shall be as provided in those Sections, and neither Party shall have additional liability as a result of any such circumstances. Each
amount described in or determined by the provisions of Sections 5.6, 5.7, 7.12.3 and 7.12.4 is intended to represent a genuine pre-estimate
by the Parties as to the loss or damage likely to be suffered by the Party receiving the payment or benefit in each such circumstance.
Each Party waives any right to claim or assert, in any arbitration or expert determination pursuant to Section 20 in any action with respect
to this Agreement, that any of the exclusive remedies set forth in Sections 5.6, 5.7, 7.12.3 and 7.12.4 do not represent a genuine pre-estimate
by the Parties as to the loss or damage likely to be suffered by the Party receiving the payment or benefit in each such circumstance
or otherwise are not valid and enforceable damages.



 






    74


     


    

 


		15.2.4	Express Remedies. The Parties agree that Section 15.2.1 shall not impair a Party’s obligation
to pay the amounts specified in, or the validity of or limitations imposed by, Sections 5.6, 5.7, 7.12.3, 7.12.4, 7.13.2(c) and 12.3.
Neither Party shall have a right to make a claim for actual damages (whether direct or indirect) or other non-specified damages under
any circumstances for which an express remedy or measure of damages is provided in this Agreement.



 


		15.2.5	Remedies in Contract. Except with respect to claims for injunctive relief under Sections 18 and
20.1.11, a Party’s sole remedy against the other Party for nonperformance or breach of this Agreement or for any other claim of
whatsoever nature arising out of or in relation to this Agreement shall be in contract and no Party shall be liable to another Party (or
its Affiliates and contractors and their respective members, directors, officers, employees and agents) in respect of any damages or losses
suffered or claims which arise out of, under or in any alleged breach of statutory duty or tortious act or omission or otherwise.



 


		15.2.6	Seller Aggregate Liability for Certain Events.



 


		(a)	Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, the maximum Seller Aggregate Liability as of any
given date in respect of any occurrence or series of occurrences shall not exceed the Seller Liability Cap.



 


		(b)	“Seller Aggregate Liability” shall mean, as of any date of determination, any and all
liability of Seller to Buyer under this Agreement, excluding (i) any Seller liabilities under this Agreement for which Seller has already
made payment to Buyer as of such date, (ii) any liability caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Seller or any Affiliate
of Seller, and (iii) any liability of Seller pursuant to Section 25.



 


		(c)	The “Seller Liability Cap”, as of any given time of determination, shall be an amount
(in USD) equal to USD [***] (US$[***]).



 


		15.2.7	Buyer Liability Cap.



 


		(a)	Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, the maximum Buyer Aggregate Liability as of any
given date in respect of any occurrence or series of occurrences shall not exceed the Buyer Liability Cap.



 


		(b)	“Buyer Aggregate Liability” shall mean, as of any date of determination, any and
                                                               all liability of Buyer to Seller under this Agreement, excluding (i) any Buyer liabilities under this Agreement for which Buyer has
                                                               already made payment to Seller as of such date, (ii) any liability caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Buyer or
                                                               any Affiliate of Buyer, (iii) any amounts related to the indemnity obligation of Buyer set forth in Section 7.7.1, and (iv) any

		(c)	The “Buyer Liability Cap”, as of any given time of determination, shall be an amount
(in USD) equal to USD [***] (US$[***]).



 






    75


     


    

 


		15.2.8	EXCEPT FOR WARRANTIES OF (I) TITLE AND (II) NO LIENS OR ENCUMBRANCES, AND SUBJECT TO THE PROVISIONS
OF THIS AGREEMENT CONCERNING THE QUALITY OF LNG TO BE DELIVERED UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, SELLER EXPRESSLY NEGATES ANY WARRANTY WITH RESPECT
TO LNG DELIVERED UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, WRITTEN OR ORAL, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY WITH RESPECT TO CONFORMITY TO SAMPLES,
MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE.



 


		15.3	Buyer’s Credit; Credit Support



 


		15.3.1	Buyer shall at all times maintain an Acceptable Credit Rating or provide or cause to be provided a Guaranty
to Seller.



 


		15.3.2	In the event that the Buyer is unable to comply with the requirements of Section 15.3.1, or a guarantor

		15.4	Third Party Liability



 


With respect to Third Party liabilities:


 


		(a)	If any Third Party shall notify either Party (the “Indemnified Party”) with respect
to any matter (a “Third Party Claim”) that may give rise to a claim for indemnification against the other Party (the
 “Indemnifying Party”) under this Section 15 or elsewhere in this Agreement, then the Indemnified Party shall promptly
notify the Indemnifying Party thereof in writing; provided, however, that no delay on the part of the Indemnified Party in notifying
the Indemnifying Party shall relieve the Indemnifying Party from any obligation hereunder unless (and then solely to the extent) the Indemnifying
Party thereby is materially prejudiced.



 


		(b)	The Indemnifying Party will have the right to defend against the Third Party Claim with counsel of its
choice reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party so long as (i) the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party in writing
within fifteen (15) Days after the Indemnified Party has given notice of the Third Party Claim that the Indemnifying Party will indemnify
the Indemnified Party from and against any damages the Indemnified Party may suffer resulting from, arising out of, relating to, in the
nature of, or caused by the Third Party Claim; (ii) the Indemnifying Party provides the Indemnified Party with evidence reasonably acceptable
to the Indemnified Party that the Indemnifying Party will have the financial resources to defend against the Third Party Claim and fulfill
its indemnification obligations hereunder; (iii) the Third Party Claim involves only money damages and does not seek an injunction or
other equitable relief; (iv) settlement of, or an adverse judgment with respect to, the Third Party Claim is not in the good faith judgment
of the Indemnified Party, likely to establish a precedential custom or practice materially adverse to the continuing business interests
of the Indemnified Party; and (v) the Indemnifying Party conducts the defense of the Third Party Claim actively and diligently.



 






    77


     


    

 


		(c)	So long as the Indemnifying Party is conducting the defense of the Third Party Claim in accordance with
Section 15.4(b): (i) the Indemnified Party may retain separate co-counsel at its sole cost and expense and participate in the defense
of the Third Party Claim; (ii) the Indemnified Party will not consent
to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the
Indemnifying Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed); and (iii) the Indemnifying Party will not consent to
the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the
Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).



  


		(d)	In the event any of the conditions in Section 15.4(b) is or becomes unsatisfied, or a conflict arises,
with regard to the Third Party Claim, between the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party in respect of such Third Party Claim the
Indemnified Party may defend against the Third Party Claim in any manner it reasonably may deem appropriate.



 


		(e)	If either Party gives notice to the other Party of a Third Party Claim pursuant to the provisions of Section
15.4(a) and the notified Party does not give notice that it will indemnify the notifying Party in the manner set out in Section 15.4(b),
the notifying Party shall nevertheless send copies of all pleadings and other documents filed in any such Third Party lawsuit to the notified
Party and such notified Party may have the right to participate in the defense of the Third Party Claim in any manner permitted by Applicable
Law.



 


		15.5	Seller’s Insurance

		20.1	Dispute Resolution



 


		20.1.1	Arbitration. Any Dispute (other than a Dispute submitted to an Expert under Section 20.2.1) shall
be exclusively and definitively resolved through final and binding arbitration, it being the intention of the Parties that this is a broad
form arbitration agreement designed to encompass all possible claims and disputes under this Agreement.



 


		20.1.2	Rules. The arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the International Arbitration Rules
of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) (as then in effect).



 


		20.1.3	Number of Arbitrators. The arbitral tribunal shall consist of three (3) arbitrators, who shall
endeavor to complete the final hearing in the arbitration within six (6) Months after the appointment of the last arbitrator.



 


		20.1.4	Method of Appointment of the Arbitrators. If there are only two (2) parties to the Dispute, then
each party to the Dispute shall appoint one (1) arbitrator within thirty (30) Days of the filing of the arbitration, and the two arbitrators
so appointed shall select the presiding arbitrator within thirty (30) Days after the latter of the two arbitrators has been appointed
by the parties to the Dispute. If a party to the Dispute fails to appoint its party-appointed arbitrator or if the two party-appointed
arbitrators cannot reach an agreement on the presiding arbitrator within the applicable time period, then the AAA shall serve as the appointing
authority and shall appoint the remainder of the three arbitrators not
yet appointed. If there are more than two parties to the Dispute, then within thirty (30) Days of the filing of the arbitration, all claimants
shall jointly appoint one arbitrator and all respondents shall jointly appoint one arbitrator, and the two arbitrators so appointed shall
select the presiding arbitrator within thirty (30) Days after the latter of the two arbitrators has been appointed by the parties to the
Dispute. For the purposes of appointing arbitrators under this Section 20, (a) Buyer, any guarantor under any guaranty required to be
delivered to Seller pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and all Persons whose interest in this Agreement derives from them shall be
considered as one party; and (b) Seller and all Persons whose interest in this Agreement derives from Seller shall be considered
as one party. If either all claimants or all respondents fail to make a joint appointment of an arbitrator, or if the party-appointed
arbitrators cannot reach an agreement on the presiding arbitrator within the applicable time period, then the AAA shall serve as the appointing
authority and shall appoint the remainder of the three (3) arbitrators not yet appointed.



 






    86


     


    

 





 


		20.1.5	Consolidation. If multiple arbitration proceedings are initiated under this Agreement or any guaranty
required to be delivered to Seller pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the subject matters of which are related by common questions
of law or fact and which could result in conflicting awards or obligations, then any party to any such dispute may request prior to the

                                            (a) prior to the constitution of the arbitral tribunal (and thereafter as necessary to enforce

                                            for interim measures may be held in person, by telephone, by video conference or by other

                                                                               allocate those costs between the parties to the Dispute. The costs of the arbitration proceedings, including attorneys’ fees,

		20.2	Expert Determination



 


		20.2.1	General. In the event of any disagreement between the Parties regarding a measurement under Exhibit
A hereto or any other Dispute which the Parties agree to submit to an Expert (in either case, a “Measurement Dispute”),
the Parties hereby agree that such Measurement Dispute shall be resolved by an Expert selected as provided in this Section 20.2.1. The
Expert is not an arbitrator of the Measurement Dispute and shall not be deemed to be acting in an arbitral capacity. The Party desiring
an expert determination shall give the other Party notice of the request for such determination. If the Parties are unable to agree upon
an Expert within ten (10) Days after receipt of the notice of request for an expert determination, then, upon the request of either of
the Parties, the International Centre for Expertise of the International Chamber of Commerce (“ICC”) shall appoint
such Expert and shall administer such expert determination through the ICC’s Rules for Expertise. The Expert shall be and remain
at all times wholly impartial, and, once appointed, the Expert shall have no ex parte communications with either of the Parties
concerning the expert determination or the underlying Measurement Dispute. The Parties shall cooperate fully in the expeditious conduct
of such expert determination and provide the Expert with access to all facilities, books, records, documents, information and personnel
necessary to make a fully informed decision in an expeditious manner. Before issuing a final decision, the Expert shall issue a draft
report and allow the Parties to comment on it. The Expert shall endeavor to resolve the Measurement Dispute within thirty (30) Days (but
no later than sixty (60) Days) after his appointment, taking into account the circumstances requiring an expeditious resolution of the
matter in dispute.



 


		20.2.2	Final and Binding. The Expert’s decision shall be final and binding on the Parties unless
challenged in an arbitration pursuant to Section 20.1 within thirty (30) Days of the date the Expert’s decision. If challenged,
(a) the decision shall remain binding and be
implemented unless and until finally replaced by an award of the arbitrators; (b) the decision shall be entitled to a rebuttable presumption
of correctness; and (c) the Expert shall not be appointed in the arbitration as an arbitrator or as advisor to either Party without the
written consent of both Parties.



 






    89


     


    




 


		20.2.3	Arbitration of Expert Determination. In the event that a Party requests expert determination for
a Measurement Dispute which raises issues that require determination of other matters in addition to correct measurement under Exhibit
A hereto, then either Party may elect to refer the entire Measurement Dispute for arbitration under Section 20.1.1. In such case, the
arbitrators shall be competent to make any measurement determination that is part of a Dispute. An expert determination not referred to
arbitration shall proceed and shall not be stayed during the pendency of an arbitration.

and commercial acts rather than public or governmental acts; and



 


		(b)	consents in respect of the enforcement of any judgment against such Party in any such proceedings in any
jurisdiction and to the giving of any relief or the issue of any process in connection with such proceedings (including the making, enforcement
or execution of any such judgment or any order arising out of any such judgment against or in respect of any property whatsoever irrespective

Driftwood under the financing documents entered into by Seller, any Affiliate of Seller, Tellurian Inc. or Driftwood with the Lenders;
provided, that any such assignee assumes all of the obligations of Seller under this Agreement arising or accruing from and after the
date of such assignment and provided any assignment or transfer is not prohibited by any Applicable Law or Export Control and Sanctions
Laws;
