 Capitalized terms used herein have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture referred to below
unless otherwise indicated. 
 (1)
INTEREST. Sabine Pass LNG, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “Company”), promises to pay interest on the principal amount of this Note at 7 1/2% per annum from May 30, 2008 until maturity. The Company will pay interest semi-annually in arrears on May 30 and November 30 of each year, or if any
such day is not a Business Day, on the next succeeding Business Day (each, an “Interest Payment Date”). Interest on the Notes will accrue from the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has been paid,
from May 30, 2008; provided that if there is no existing Default in the payment of interest, and if this Note is authenticated between a record date referred to on the face hereof and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date, interest shall
accrue from such next succeeding Interest Payment Date; provided further that the first Interest Payment Date shall be November 30, 2008. The Company will pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any
Bankruptcy Law) on overdue principal and premium, if any, from time to time on demand at a rate that is 1% per annum in excess of the rate then in effect to the extent lawful; it will pay interest (including post-petition interest in any
proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on overdue installments of interest (without regard to any applicable grace periods) from time to time on demand at the same rate to the extent lawful. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of
twelve 30-day months. 
 (2) METHOD OF PAYMENT. The Company will
pay interest on the Notes (except defaulted interest) to the Persons who are registered Holders of Notes at the close of business on the May 15 or November 15 next preceding the Interest Payment Date, even if such Notes are canceled after
such record date and on or before such Interest Payment Date, except as provided in Section 2.12 of the Indenture with respect to defaulted interest. The Notes will be payable as to principal, premium and interest at the office or agency of the
Paying Agent or Registrar maintained for such purpose within or without the City and State of New York, or, at the option of the Company, payment of interest may be made by check mailed to the Holders at their addresses set forth in the register of
Holders; provided that payment by wire transfer of immediately available funds will be required with respect to principal of and interest, premium on, all Global Notes and all other Notes the Holders of which will have provided wire transfer
instructions to the Company or the Paying Agent. Such payment will be in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts. 
 (3) PAYING AGENT AND REGISTRAR. Initially, The Bank of New York Mellon,
the Trustee under the Indenture, will act as Paying Agent and Registrar. The Company may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice to any Holder. The Company or any of its Subsidiaries may act in any such capacity. 
 (4) INDENTURE AND SECURITY DOCUMENTS. The Company issued
the Notes under an Indenture dated as of November 9, 2006 (the “Indenture”) among the Company, the Guarantors and the Trustee. The terms of the Notes include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by
reference to the TIA. The Notes are subject to all such terms, and Holders are referred to the Indenture and such Act for a statement of such terms. To the extent any provision of this Note conflicts with the express provisions of the Indenture, the
provisions of the Indenture shall govern and be controlling. The Notes are secured obligations of the Company. The Notes are secured by a pledge of Shared Collateral (as defined in the Indenture) pursuant to the Security Documents (including,
without limitation, the Collateral Trust Joinder Agreement and the Additional Secured Debt Designation) referred to in the Indenture. The Indenture does not limit the aggregate principal amount of Notes that may be issued thereunder. 
 (5) OPTIONAL REDEMPTION. 
 (a) The Company may redeem all or a part of the Notes, at any time and from time to time, upon not less than 30 nor more than 60
days’ prior notice mailed by first-class mail to each Holder’s registered address, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of Notes redeemed plus the Applicable Premium, and accrued and unpaid interest to the date of
redemption (the “Redemption Date”), subject to the rights of Holders of Notes on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the relevant interest payment date. 
  

 A1-3 

 (b) Notwithstanding the provisions of subparagraph (a) of this Paragraph 5, at any
time prior to November 30, 2009, the Company may redeem up to 35% of the aggregate original principal amount of the Notes issued under the Indenture at a redemption price of 107.50% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid
interest to the redemption date, with the net cash proceeds of one or more Equity Offerings; provided that at least 65% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes originally issued on the Issue Date (excluding Notes held by the Company and
its Affiliates) remains outstanding immediately after the occurrence of such redemption and that such redemption occurs within 90 days of the date of the closing of such Equity Offering. 
 (6) MANDATORY REDEMPTION. 
 The Company is not required to make mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the Notes. 
 (7) REPURCHASE AT THE OPTION OF HOLDER.

 (a) If there is a Change of Control, the Company will be required to make an offer (a “Change of Control
Offer”) of payment (the “Change of Control Payment”) to each Holder to repurchase all or any part (equal to $100,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof) of each Holder’s Notes at a purchase price in
cash equal to not less than 101% of the aggregate principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the date of repurchase (the “Change of Control Payment Date,” which date will be no earlier than the date of such
Change of Control). No later than 30 days following any Change of Control, the Company will mail a notice to each Holder setting forth the procedures governing the Change of Control Offer as required by the Indenture. 
 (b) If on any date, the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company consummates any Asset Sales whereby the aggregate amount of
Excess Proceeds from such Asset Sale exceeds $25.0 million, then within ten Business Days after such date, the Company will commence an offer (an “Asset Sale Offer”) to all Holders of Notes and all holders of other Indebtedness that
is pari passu with the Notes containing provisions similar to those set forth in the Indenture with respect to offers to purchase or redeem with the proceeds of sales of assets pursuant to Section 3.09 of the Indenture, to purchase the
maximum principal amount of Notes (including any Additional Notes) and such other pari passu Indebtedness that may be purchased out of the Excess Proceeds at an offer price in cash in an amount equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof
plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the date of purchase, in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Indenture. To the extent that the aggregate amount of Notes (including any Additional Notes) and other pari passu
Indebtedness tendered pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer is less than the Excess Proceeds, the Company (or such Restricted Subsidiary) may use such deficiency for any purpose not otherwise prohibited by the Indenture. If the aggregate principal amount
of Notes and other pari passu Indebtedness tendered into such Asset Sale Offer exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, the Trustee shall select the Notes and such other pari passu Indebtedness to be purchased on a pro rata basis.
Holders of Notes that are the subject of an offer to purchase will receive an Asset Sale Offer from the Company prior to any related purchase date and may elect to have such Notes purchased by completing the form entitled “Option of Holder
to Elect Purchase” attached to the Notes. 
 (8) NOTICE OF
REDEMPTION. Notice of redemption will be mailed at least 30 days but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each Holder whose Notes are to be redeemed at its registered address, except that redemption notices may be
mailed more than 60 days prior to a redemption date if the notice is issued in connection with a defeasance of the Notes or a satisfaction or discharge of the Indenture. Notes in denominations larger than $100,000 may be redeemed in part but only in
whole multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof, unless all of the Notes held by a Holder are to be redeemed. 
 (9)
DENOMINATIONS, TRANSFER, EXCHANGE. The Notes are in registered form without coupons in denominations of $100,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. The transfer of

  

 A1-4 

 
Notes may be registered and Notes may be exchanged as provided in the Indenture. The Registrar and the Trustee may require a Holder, among other things, to
furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and the Company may require a Holder to pay any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture. The Company need not exchange or register the transfer of any Note or portion of a
Note selected for redemption, except for the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part. Also, the Company need not exchange or register the transfer of any Notes for a period of 15 days before a selection of Notes to be redeemed or
during the period between a record date and the corresponding Interest Payment Date. 
 (10) PERSONS
DEEMED OWNERS. The registered Holder of a Note may be treated as its owner for all purposes. 
 (11) AMENDMENT, SUPPLEMENT AND WAIVER. Subject to certain exceptions, the Indenture or the Notes or the Note Guarantees may be amended
or supplemented with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes including Additional Notes, if any, voting as a single class, and any existing Default or Event or Default or
compliance with any provision of the Indenture or the Notes or the Note Guarantees may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes including Additional Notes, if any, voting as
a single class. Without the consent of any Holder of a Note, the Indenture or the Notes or the Note Guarantees may be amended or supplemented to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency, to provide for uncertificated Notes in addition to or in
place of certificated Notes, to provide for the assumption of the Company’s or a Guarantor’s obligations to Holders of the Notes and Note Guarantees in case of a merger or consolidation, to make any change that would provide any additional
rights or benefits to the Holders of the Notes or that does not adversely affect the legal rights under the Indenture of any such Holder, to comply with the requirements of the SEC in order to effect or maintain the qualification of the Indenture
under the TIA, to conform the text of the Indenture, the Security Documents or the Notes to any provision of the “Description of Notes” section of the Offering Memorandum, to the extent that such provision in that “Description of
Notes” was intended to be a verbatim recitation of a provision of the Indenture, the Note Guarantees, the Security Documents or the Notes; to provide for the issuance of Additional Notes in accordance with the limitations set forth in the
Indenture, or to allow any Guarantor to execute a supplemental indenture to the Indenture and/or a Note Guarantee with respect to the Notes. 
 (12) DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES. Events of Default include: (i) default for 30 days in the payment when due of interest on the Notes;
(ii) default in payment when due of the principal of, or premium, if any, on, the Notes; (iii) failure by the Company to comply with its obligations described under Section 5.01 of the Indenture or to consummate a purchase of Notes

of its Restricted Subsidiaries (or the payment of which is guaranteed by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries) whether such Indebtedness or guarantee now exists, or is created after the Issue Date, if that default (A) is caused by
a failure to pay principal of, or interest or premium, if any, on, such Indebtedness prior to the expiration of the grace period provided in such Indebtedness on the date of such default (a “Payment Default”); or (b) results in
the acceleration of such Indebtedness prior to its express maturity; and, in each case, the principal amount of any such Indebtedness, together with the principal amount of any other such Indebtedness under which there has been a Payment Default or
the maturity of which has been so accelerated, aggregates $25.0 million or more; but only if such Indebtedness remains unpaid or the acceleration unrescinded; (vii) any final judgment or decree (to the extent not covered by insurance) for the

or any Guarantor of such failure to comply, such failure has not been remedied by the Company or the relevant Guarantor (as applicable) within 60 days or if not capable of cure within 60 days, the Company or such Guarantor has commenced curing such
default within 60 days and diligently pursues such cure; provided such cure is completed within 180 days of such knowledge; (xi) except as permitted by the Indenture, any Note Guarantee of any Guarantor that is a Significant Subsidiary

 PURCHASE AGREEMENT 
 September 10, 2008 
 Citigroup Global Markets Inc. 
 388 Greenwich Street 
 New York, NY 10013 
 Dear Sirs: 
 1. Introductory. Sabine Pass LNG, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the
“Company”), proposes, subject to the terms and conditions stated herein, to issue and sell to Citigroup Global Markets Inc. (the “Initial Purchaser”) U.S. $183,500,000 aggregate principal amount of its 7 1/2% Senior Secured Notes due 2016 (the “Offered Securities”) to be issued under an indenture, dated as of
November 9, 2006 (the “Indenture”), between the Company and The Bank of New York, as Trustee. The United States Securities Act of 1933 is herein referred to as the “Securities Act.” 
 The sale of the Offered Securities to the Initial Purchaser will be made without registration of the Offered Securities under the Securities Act in
reliance upon exemptions from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. 
 The Company hereby agrees with the Initial Purchaser as
follows: 
 2. Representations and Warranties of the Company. The Company represents and warrants to, and agrees with, the Initial
Purchaser that: 
 (a) A preliminary offering memorandum, dated September 9, 2008, (the “Preliminary Offering
Memorandum”) relating to the Offered Securities to be offered by the Initial Purchaser and a final offering memorandum (the “Final Offering Memorandum”) disclosing the offering price and other final terms of the Offered
Securities and is dated as of the date of this Agreement (even if finalized and issued subsequent to the date of this Agreement) have been or will be prepared by the Company. “General Disclosure Package” means the Preliminary
Offering Memorandum, together with any Issuer Free Writing Communication (as hereinafter defined) existing at the Applicable Time (as 

  

 1 

 
hereinafter defined) and the information in it which is intended for general distribution to prospective investors, as evidenced by its being specified in
Schedule A to this Agreement (including the term sheet listing the final terms of the Offered Securities and their offering, included in Schedule A to this Agreement, which is referred to as the “Terms Communication”).
“Applicable Time” means 6:00 p.m. (Eastern time) on the date of this Agreement. As of the date of this Agreement and as of the Closing Date, the Final Offering Memorandum does not, and will not include any untrue statement of a
material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. At the Applicable Time and as of the Closing Date, neither (i) the
General Disclosure Package, nor (ii) any individual Supplemental Marketing Material (as hereinafter defined), when considered together with the General Disclosure Package, included nor will include any untrue statement of a material fact or
omitted or will omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The preceding two sentences do not apply to statements in or omissions
from the Preliminary Offering Memorandum or Final Offering Memorandum, the General Disclosure Package or any Supplemental Marketing Material based upon written information furnished to the Company by the Initial Purchaser specifically for use
therein, it being understood and agreed that the only such information is that described as such in Section 8(b) hereof. The information required to be delivered to holders and prospective purchasers of the Offered Securities pursuant to
Section 4.03 of the Indenture and in accordance with Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act (the “Additional Issuer Information”) does not include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material
fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The preceding sentence does not apply to statements in or omissions from the Preliminary Offering Memorandum or Final
Offering Memorandum based upon written information furnished to the Initial Purchaser specifically for use therein, it being understood and agreed that the only such information is that described as such in Section 8(b) hereof. 
 “Free Writing Communication” means a written communication (as such term is defined in Rule 405 under the Securities
Act) that constitutes an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy the Offered Securities and is made by means other than the Preliminary Offering Memorandum or the Final Offering Memorandum. “Issuer Free Writing
Communication” means a Free Writing Communication prepared by or on behalf of the Company, used or referred to by the Company or containing a description of the final terms of the Offered Securities or of their offering, in the form
retained in the Company’s records. “Supplemental Marketing Material” means any Issuer Free Writing Communication specified in Schedule B to this Agreement.

 (b) The Company has been duly organized and is an existing limited partnership in good
standing under the laws of the State of Delaware, with power and authority (limited partnership and other) to own or lease, as the case may be, its properties and conduct its business as described in the General Disclosure Package; and the Company

 5. Certain Agreements of the Company. The Company agrees with the Initial Purchaser that:

 (a) The Company will advise the Initial Purchaser promptly of any proposal to amend or supplement the Preliminary Offering
Memorandum or the Final Offering Memorandum and will not effect such amendment or supplementation without the Initial Purchaser’s consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld. If, at any time prior to the completion of the resale of
the Offered Securities by the Initial Purchaser, there occurs an event as a result of which the Preliminary Offering Memorandum or the Final Offering Memorandum, the General Disclosure Package or any Supplemental Marketing Material included or would
include an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or would omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances prevailing at such time, not misleading, or if it is necessary at
any such time to amend or supplement the Preliminary Offering Memorandum or the Final Offering Memorandum, the General Disclosure Package or any Supplemental Marketing Material to comply with any applicable law, the Company promptly will notify the
Initial Purchaser of such event and promptly will prepare, at its own expense, an amendment or supplement which will correct such statement or omission. Neither the Initial Purchaser’s consent to, nor the Initial Purchaser’s delivery to
offerees or investors of, any such amendment or supplement shall constitute a waiver of any of the conditions set forth in Section 6. The first sentence of this subsection does not apply to statements in or omissions from the Preliminary
Offering Memorandum or the Final Offering Memorandum, the General Disclosure Package or any Supplemental Marketing Material made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by the Initial Purchaser
specifically for use therein, it being understood and agreed that the only such information is that described as such in Section 8(b) hereof. 
 (b) The Company will furnish to the Initial Purchaser copies of the Preliminary Offering Memorandum, each other document comprising a part of the General Disclosure Package, the Final Offering Memorandum, all
amendments and supplements to such documents and each item of Supplemental Marketing Material, in each case as soon as available and in such quantities as the Initial Purchaser reasonably requests. At any time when the Company is not subject to
Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, the Company will promptly furnish or cause to be furnished to the Initial Purchaser and, upon request of holders and prospective purchasers of the Offered Securities, to such holders and purchasers,
copies of the information required to be delivered to holders and prospective purchasers of the Offered Securities pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act (or any successor provision thereto) in order to permit compliance 

  

 16 

 
with Rule 144A in connection with resales by such holders of the Offered Securities. The Company will pay the expenses of printing and distributing to
the Initial Purchaser all such documents. 
 (c) The Company will arrange for the qualification of the Offered Securities for
sale and the determination of their eligibility for investment under the laws of such jurisdictions in the United States and Canada as the Initial Purchaser designates and will continue such qualifications in effect so long as required for the
resale of the Offered Securities by the Initial Purchaser, provided that the Company will not be required to qualify as a foreign limited partnership or to file a general consent to service of process in any such state or take any action that would
subject it to taxation based on its income or revenues in any jurisdiction where it is not currently subject to taxation. 
 (d) During the period of two years hereafter, the Company will furnish to the Initial Purchaser, as soon as practicable after the end of each fiscal year, a copy of its annual report for such year; and the Company will furnish to the
Initial Purchaser, as soon as available, a copy of each report or other document mailed to its partners or furnished to the Commission; provided that such annual reports, reports or other documents shall be deemed to have been provided if
such annual report, report or other document is available through EDGAR or on or through the Company’s website. 
 (e)
During the period of two years after the Closing Date, the Company will, upon request, furnish to the Initial Purchaser and any holder of Offered Securities a copy of the restrictions on transfer applicable to the Offered Securities. 
 (f) During the period of one year after the Closing Date, the Company will not, and will not permit any of its affiliates (as defined in
Rule 144 under the Securities Act) to, resell any of the Offered Securities that have been reacquired by any of them. 
 (g) During the period of two years after the Closing Date, the Company will not be or become, an open-end investment company, unit investment trust or face-amount certificate company that is or is required to be registered under
Section 8 of the Investment Company Act. 
 (h) None of the Company, its affiliates, or any person acting on its behalf
will engage in any form of general solicitation or general advertising (within the meaning of Regulation D) in connection with any offer or sale of the Offered Securities in the United States. 
 (i) The Company will cooperate with the Initial Purchaser and use its best efforts to permit the Offered Securities to be eligible for
clearance and settlement through DTC, Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg.

the execution, issue, authentication, packaging and initial delivery of the Offered Securities, the preparation and printing of this Agreement, the Offered Securities, the Indenture, the Security Documents, the Preliminary Offering Memorandum, any
other documents comprising any part of the General Disclosure Package, the Final Offering Memorandum, all amendments and supplements thereto, each item of Supplemental Marketing Material and any other document relating to the issuance, offer, sale
and delivery of the Offered Securities; (iii) all filing costs and expenses relating to the perfection of security interests in the Collateral, as set forth in the Security Documents; (iv) the cost of qualifying the Offered Securities for
trading in The PortalSM Market (“PORTAL”) and any expenses incidental thereto; (v) the cost of any advertising approved by the
Company in connection with the issue of the Offered Securities; (vi) any expenses (including fees and disbursements of counsel) incurred in connection with qualification of the Offered Securities for sale under the laws of such jurisdictions in
the United States and Canada as the Initial Purchaser designates and the printing of memoranda relating thereto; (vii) for any fees charged by investment rating agencies for the rating of the Offered Securities; (vii) the fees and expenses
of the Collateral Trustee (as defined in the Indenture) and the Collateral Trustee’s counsel in connection with the Security Documents; and (ix) for expenses incurred in distributing the Preliminary Offering Memorandum, any other documents
comprising any part of the General Disclosure Package, the Final Offering Memorandum (including any amendments and supplements thereto) and any Supplemental Marketing Material to the Initial Purchaser. The Company will also pay or reimburse the
Initial Purchaser (to the extent incurred by it) for all travel expenses of the Initial Purchaser and the Company’s officers and employees and any other expenses of the Initial Purchaser and the Company in connection with attending or hosting
meetings with prospective purchasers of the Offered Securities from the Initial Purchaser, including the costs of the private jet and the Company’s officers’ and employee’s hotel costs, except that the Company shall not be responsible
for the Initial Purchaser’s hotel costs and travel costs (except for flights on the private jet, which the Company shall be responsible for) in connection with any roadshow. 
 (k) In connection with the offering, until the Initial Purchaser shall have notified the Company of the completion of the resale of the
Offered Securities, neither the Company nor any of its affiliates has or will, either alone or with one or more other persons, bid for or purchase for any account in which it or any of its affiliates has a beneficial interest any Offered Securities
or attempt to induce any person to purchase any Offered Securities; and neither it nor any of its affiliates will make bids or purchases for the purpose of creating actual, or apparent, active trading in, or of raising the price of, the Offered
Securities. 
  

 18 

 (l) The Company will not at any time offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge or otherwise
dispose of, directly or indirectly, any securities under circumstances where such offer, sale, pledge, contract or disposition would cause the exemption afforded by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act or the safe harbor of Regulation S
thereunder to cease to be applicable to the offer and sale of the Offered Securities. 
 (m) For a period of 90 days
after the date of the Final Offering Memorandum, the Company will not offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge or otherwise dispose of, directly or indirectly, or file with the Commission a registration statement under the Securities Act relating to,
any United States dollar-denominated debt securities issued or guaranteed by the Company and having a maturity of more than one year from the date of issue, or publicly disclose the intention to make any such offer, sale, pledge, disposition or
filing, without the prior written consent of the Initial Purchaser. 
 6. Free Writing Communications. 
 (a) The Company represents and agrees that, unless it obtains the prior consent of the Initial Purchaser, and the Initial Purchaser
represents and agrees that, unless it obtains the prior consent of the Company, it has not made and will not make any offer relating to the Offered Securities that would constitute an Issuer Free Writing Communication. 
 (b) The Company consents to the use by the Initial Purchaser of a Free Writing
Communication that (i) contains only (A) information describing the preliminary terms of the Offered Securities or their offering or (B) information that describes the final terms of the Offered Securities or their offering and that
is included in the Terms Communication or is included in or is subsequently included in the Final Offering Memorandum or (ii) does not contain any information about the Company or its securities that was provided by or on behalf of the Company,
it being understood and agreed that any such Free Writing Communication referred to in clause (i) or (ii) shall not be an Issuer Free Writing Communication for purposes of this Agreement. 
 7. Conditions of the Obligations of the Initial Purchaser. The obligations of the Initial Purchaser to purchase and pay for the Offered Securities
will be subject to the accuracy of the representations and warranties on the part of the Company herein, to the accuracy of the statements of officers of the Company made pursuant to the provisions hereof, to the performance by the Company of its

 19 

 (b) Subsequent to the execution and delivery of this Agreement, there shall not have
occurred (i) any change, or any development or event involving a prospective change, in the condition (financial or other), business, properties or results of operations of the Company which, in the judgment of the Initial Purchaser, is
material and adverse and makes it impractical or inadvisable to proceed with completion of the offering or the sale of and payment for the Offered Securities; (ii) any downgrading in the rating of any debt securities of the Company by any
“nationally recognized statistical rating organization” (as defined for purposes of Rule 436(g) under the Securities Act), or any public announcement that any such organization has under surveillance or review its rating of any debt
securities of the Company (other than an announcement with positive implications of a possible upgrading, and no implication of a possible downgrading, of such rating) or any announcement that the Company has been placed on negative outlook;
(iii) any change in U.S. or international financial, political or economic conditions or currency exchange rates or exchange controls as would, in the judgment of the Initial Purchaser, be likely to prejudice materially the success of the
proposed issue, sale or distribution of the Offered Securities, whether in the primary market or in respect of dealings in the secondary market; (iv) any material suspension or material limitation of trading in securities generally on the New
York Stock Exchange, or any setting of minimum prices for trading on such exchange; (v) any suspension of trading of any securities of the Company on any exchange or in the over-the-counter market; (vi) any banking moratorium declared by

United States, any declaration of war by Congress or any other national or international calamity or emergency if, in the judgment of the Initial Purchaser, the effect of any such attack, outbreak, escalation, act, declaration, calamity or emergency
makes it impractical or inadvisable to proceed with completion of the offering or sale of and payment for the Offered Securities. 
 (c) The Initial Purchaser shall have received an opinion, dated the Closing Date, of Andrews Kurth LLP, counsel for the Company, in form and substance satisfactory to counsel for the Initial Purchaser, to the effect set forth in Exhibit

 (e) The Initial Purchaser shall have received an opinion, dated the Closing Date, of
Ottinger Hebert, L.L.C., special Louisiana counsel for the Company, in form and substance satisfactory to counsel for the Initial Purchaser, to the effect set forth in Exhibit A-3 hereto. 
 (f) The Initial Purchaser shall have received an opinion, dated the Closing Date, of the Company’s general counsel that, to his
knowledge, except as described in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum and the Final Offering Memorandum, there are no legal, governmental or regulatory investigations, actions, suits or proceedings pending to which the Company is a party or to which
any property of the Company is the subject which, individually or in the aggregate, if determined adversely to the Company, would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; and to his knowledge, no such investigations, actions, suits
or proceedings are threatened or contemplated by any governmental or regulatory authority or threatened by others.

White & Case LLP may rely as to the organization of the Company and all other matters governed by Delaware law upon the opinion of Andrew Kurth LLP referred to above. 
 (h) The Initial Purchaser shall have received a certificate, dated the Closing Date, of the President or any Vice President and a
principal financial or accounting officer of the Company in which such officers, to the best of their knowledge after reasonable investigation, shall state that the representations and warranties of the Company in this Agreement are true and
correct, that the Company has complied with all agreements and satisfied all conditions on its part to be performed or satisfied hereunder at or prior to the Closing Date, and that, subsequent to the dates of the most recent financial statements in

Company except as set forth in the General Disclosure Package or as described in such certificate.

Contribution.

directors and its affiliates and each person, if any, who controls the Initial Purchaser within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, to which the Initial Purchaser may become
subject, under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any
material fact contained in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum or the Final Offering Memorandum, in each case as amended or supplemented, or any Supplemental Marketing Material or any Issuer Free Writing Communication, or arise out of or are based
upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading and will reimburse the Initial Purchaser for any
legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Initial Purchaser in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action as such expenses are incurred; provided, however, that the Company will not be
liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement in or omission or alleged omission from any of such documents in reliance upon and in
conformity with written information furnished to the Company by the Initial Purchaser specifically for use therein, it being understood and agreed that the only such information consists of the information described as such in subsection (b)
below. 
 (b) The Initial Purchaser will indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors and officers and each person,
if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which the Company may become subject, under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act or otherwise,
insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are 

  

 22 

 
based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum or the Final Offering
Memorandum, in each case as amended or supplemented, or any Supplemental Marketing Material or any Issuer Free Writing Communication or arise out of or are based upon the omission or the alleged omission to state therein a material fact necessary in
order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged
omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by the Initial Purchaser specifically for use therein, and will reimburse any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Company in
connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action as such expenses are incurred, it being understood and agreed that the only such information furnished by the Initial Purchaser consists of the following
information in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum and the Final Offering Memorandum furnished on behalf of the Initial Purchaser: the fourth sentence in the paragraph under “Risk Factors – Risks Relating to this Offering and the Notes
– Your ability to resell the notes may be limited by a number of factors; prices for the notes may be volatile”, the first sentence in the third paragraph under the caption “Plan of Distribution”, the seventh paragraph, the
fourth sentence of the eighth paragraph and the ninth paragraph under the caption “Plan of Distribution”; provided, however, that the Initial Purchaser shall not be liable for any losses, claims, damages or liabilities arising out
of or based upon the Company’s failure to perform its obligations under Section 5(a) of this Agreement. 
 (c)
Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under subsection (a) or
(b) above, notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof; but the failure to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have under subsection (a) or (b) above except to the extent
that it has been materially prejudiced (through the forfeiture of substantive rights or defenses) by such failure; and provided further that the failure to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have to an
indemnified party otherwise than under subsection (a) or (b) above. In case any such action is brought against any indemnified party and it notifies the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be
entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it may wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party (who shall not, except
with the consent of the indemnified party, be counsel to the indemnifying party), and after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party will not be liable to
such indemnified party under this Section for any legal or other expenses 

  

 23 

 
subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation. It is understood and
agreed that the indemnifying party shall not, in connection with any proceeding or related proceeding in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to any reasonably necessary local
counsel) for the Company or the Initial Purchaser, as applicable, and that all such reasonable fees and expenses shall be paid or reimbursed as they are incurred. Any such separate firm for the Initial Purchaser shall be designated in writing by the
Initial Purchaser, and any such separate firm for the Company shall be designated in writing by the Company. The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement effected without its written consent unless (i) such settlement is
entered into in good faith by the indemnified party more than 45 days after receipt by such indemnifying party of written notice of the proposed settlement, (ii) such indemnifying party shall have received notice of the terms of such settlement
at least 30 days prior to such settlement being entered into and (iii) such indemnifying party shall not have reimbursed such indemnified party in accordance with such request prior to the date of such settlement. No indemnifying party shall,
without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened action in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a
party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party unless such settlement includes (i) an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on any claims that are the subject matter of such action
and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party. 
 (d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under subsection (a) or (b) above, then each indemnifying party shall contribute
to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to in subsection (a) or (b) above (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits
received by the Company on the one hand and the Initial Purchaser on the other from the offering of the Offered Securities or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is
appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the Initial Purchaser on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which
resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Initial Purchaser on the other shall be deemed to be in the same
proportion as the total net proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses) received by the Company from the sale of the Offered Securities, on the one hand, bear to the total discounts and commissions received by the Initial Purchaser from
the Company in connection 

  

 24 

 
therewith as provided under this Agreement, on the other hand. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue
or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or the Initial Purchaser and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to
information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement or omission. The amount paid by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to in the first sentence of this subsection
(d) shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any action or claim which is the subject of this subsection (d). Notwithstanding the
provisions of this subsection (d), the Initial Purchaser shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total discounts, fees and commissions received by the Initial Purchaser exceeds the amount of any damages
which the Initial Purchaser has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. 
 (e) The obligations of the Company under this Section shall be in addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each person, if any, who
controls the Initial Purchaser within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act; and the obligations of the Initial Purchaser under this Section shall be in addition to any liability which the Initial Purchaser may otherwise have and
shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act. 
 9. Survival of Certain Representations and Obligations. The respective indemnities, agreements, representations, warranties and other statements of the Company or its officers and of the Initial Purchaser set
forth in or made pursuant to this Agreement will remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation, or statement as to the results thereof, made by or on behalf of the Initial Purchaser, the Company or any of their respective
representatives, officers or directors or any controlling person, and will survive delivery of and payment for the Offered Securities. If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 9 or if for any reason the purchase of the Offered
Securities by the Initial Purchaser is not consummated, the Company shall remain responsible for the expenses to be paid or reimbursed by it pursuant to Section 5 and the respective obligations of the Company and the Initial Purchaser pursuant
to Section 8 shall remain in effect. If the purchase of the Offered Securities by the Initial Purchaser is not consummated for any reason other than solely because of the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9 or the
occurrence of any event specified in clause (iii), (iv), (vi), (vii) or (viii) of Section 7(b), the Company will reimburse the Initial Purchaser for all out-of-pocket expenses (including fees and disbursements of counsel) reasonably
incurred by them in connection with the offering of the Offered Securities. 
  

 25 

 10. Notices. All communications hereunder will be in writing and, if sent to the Initial Purchaser

 11. Successors. This Agreement will inure to the benefit of and be
binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and the controlling persons referred to in Section 8, and no other person will have any right or obligation hereunder, except that holders of Offered Securities shall be entitled
to enforce the agreements for their benefit contained in the second and third sentences of Section 5(b) hereof against the Company as if such holders were parties thereto. 
 12. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all such
counterparts shall together constitute one and the same Agreement. 
 13. Absence of Fiduciary Relationship. The Company acknowledges
and agrees that: 
 (a) the Initial Purchaser has been retained solely to act as initial purchaser in connection with the
initial purchase, offering and resale of the Offered Securities and that no fiduciary, advisory or agency relationship between the Company and the Initial Purchaser has been created in respect of any of the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement, irrespective of whether the Initial Purchaser has advised or is advising the Company on other matters; 
 (b) the
purchase price of the Offered Securities set forth in this Agreement was established by the Company following discussions and arm’s-length negotiations with the Initial Purchaser, and the Company is capable of evaluating and understanding and
understands and accepts the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; 
 (c) the Company
has been advised that the Initial Purchaser and its affiliates are engaged in a broad range of transactions which may involve interests that differ from those of the Company and that the Initial Purchaser has no obligation to disclose such interests
and transactions to the Company by virtue of any fiduciary, advisory or agency relationship; and 
  

 26 

 (d) the Company waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any claims it may have
against the Initial Purchaser for breach of fiduciary duty or alleged breach of fiduciary duty in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and agrees that the Initial Purchaser shall have no liability (whether direct or
indirect) to the Company in respect of such a fiduciary duty claim or to any person asserting a fiduciary duty claim on behalf of or in right of the Company, including stockholders, employees or creditors of the Company. 
 14. Applicable Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York without regard to
principles of conflicts of laws. 
 The Company hereby submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the Federal and state courts in the
Borough of Manhattan in The City of New York in any suit or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.
