The Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent irrevocable notice requesting that the Lenders make the Loans on the Closing Date and specifying the amount to be borrowed. Upon receipt of such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify
each Lender thereof. Not later than 12:00 Noon, New York City time, on the Closing Date each Lender shall make available to the Administrative Agent at the Funding Office an amount in immediately available funds equal to the Loan to
be made by such Lender. The Administrative Agent shall credit the account of the Borrower on the books of such office of the Administrative Agent with the aggregate of the amounts made available to the Administrative Agent by the Lenders in
immediately available funds. 
 2.3. Repayment of Loans. The Loan of each Lender shall mature on May 31, 2012. 
 SECTION 3. GENERAL PROVISIONS APPLICABLE TO LOANS 
 3.1. Optional Prepayments. The Borrower may at any time and from time to time prepay the Loans, in whole or in part, upon one Business Day’s irrevocable notice delivered to the Administrative Agent, which
notice shall specify the date and amount of prepayment. Upon receipt of any such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each relevant Lender thereof. If any such notice is given (i) at any time on or prior to the first
anniversary of the Closing Date, an amount equal to 103% of the principal amount specified in the notice shall be payable on the date specified therein, (ii) at any time after the first anniversary of the Closing Date but on or prior to the
second anniversary of the Closing Date, an amount equal to 102% of the principal amount specified in the notice shall be payable on the date specified therein; (iii) at any time after the second anniversary of the Closing Date and on or prior
to the third anniversary of the Closing Date, an amount equal to 101% of the principal amount specified in the notice shall be payable on the date specified therein and (iv) at any time thereafter, an amount equal to 
  

 12 

 
100% of the principal amount specified in the notice shall be payable on the date specified therein, in each case together with accrued interest to such date
on the amount prepaid. Partial prepayments shall be in a minimum aggregate principal amount of $5,000,000 and increments of $1,000,000. Amounts to be applied in connection with prepayments made pursuant to this Section 3.1 shall be applied
pro rata among the Loans. 
 3.2. Mandatory Prepayments and Commitment Reductions. (a) If on any date prior to such
date as the Loans and the other obligations under the Loan Documents then due and payable shall have been paid in full: 
 (i)
any Group Member shall receive Net Cash Proceeds from Disposition of any portion of the Collateral, 
 (ii) the Borrower shall
receive as the direct or indirect holder of any portion of the Collateral, any Non-Recurring Distribution, or 
 (iii) the
Borrower or any of its Affiliates (other than CQP, Subsidiaries of CQP, Freeport LNG Development, L.P. and Subsidiaries of Freeport LNG Development, L.P.) shall receive any amounts lent or otherwise distributed outside the ordinary course of
business from CQP, a Subsidiary of CQP, Freeport LNG Development, L.P. or a Subsidiary of Freeport LNG Development, L.P. (any such amount received as described in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) of this Section 3.2(a), a “Prepayment
Offer Amount”), 
 the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of the receipt of the applicable Prepayment Offer Amount within one Business
Day after each date on which all such Prepayment Offer Amounts received exceed $20,000,000 in the aggregate and offer in such notice to prepay the Loans having an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate amount of the Prepayment Offer
Amounts as set forth in Section 3.2(b); provided that the Borrower shall deposit such Prepayment Offer Amounts in a collateral account (subject to documentation in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent) one Business
Day after the date on which such amounts are received until such amounts shall aggregate in excess of $20,000,000 and so be required to be offered. The Administrative Agent shall forthwith transmit any such offer of prepayment to the Lenders. Each
Lender deciding to receive its pro rata share of any amount so offered shall so notify the Administrative Agent within five (5) Business Days of its receipt of notice thereof. If any Lender declines to accept such offer of
prepayment, then the amount of the Loans of each accepting Lender to be prepaid shall be increased to a portion of the Prepayment Offer Amount in proportion to its pro rata share of the Loans of all Lenders accepting such offer. The
Administrative Agent shall forthwith transmit any such acceptances to the Borrower, and the Borrower shall make any such prepayments within one (1) Business Day of its receipt of notice thereof from the Administrative Agent. For avoidance of
doubt, the $20,000,000 threshold shall apply anew after each making of prepayment offers. The Borrower shall be free to retain, use or apply, for any purpose not otherwise prohibited hereunder, any funds not so required to be deposited in a
collateral account or to make prepayments. 
 (b) Amounts to be applied in connection with prepayments made pursuant to paragraph (a) of
this Section 3.2 shall be applied, pro rata such that if any mandatory prepayment notice is given (i) at any time on or prior to the first anniversary of the Closing Date, an amount 

  

 13 

 
equal to 103% of the principal amount specified in the notice shall be payable on the date specified therein, (ii) at any time after the first
anniversary of the Closing Date but on or prior to the second anniversary of the Closing Date, an amount equal to 102% of the principal amount specified in the notice shall be payable on the date specified therein; (iii) at any time after the
second anniversary of the Closing Date and on or prior to the third anniversary of the Closing Date, an amount equal to 101% of the principal amount specified in the notice shall be payable on the date specified therein; and (iv) at any time
thereafter, an amount equal to 100% of the principal amount specified in the notice shall be payable on the date specified therein, in each case together with accrued interest to such date on the amount prepaid. 
 (c) (i) No later than three Business Days after the occurrence of a Change of Control, the Borrower shall offer to each Lender (by delivery of a
prepayment offer to the Administrative Agent) to prepay all (but not part) of its outstanding Loans in accordance with this paragraph. The prepayment offer shall be irrevocable and shall state: (i) the proposed date of such prepayment (which
date shall be no earlier than five Business Days and no later than 30 Business Days from the date of the applicable Change of Control); (ii) the prepayment price (which, with respect to each Lender, shall be calculated as the sum of 101% of the
aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Loans made by such Lender, and all accrued interest on the principal amount being prepaid); (iii) that each Lender that accepts such prepayment offer must accept such offer with respect to all (but
not part) of its Loans; (iv) that each Lender must accept such offer by delivering notice of such acceptance to the Administrative Agent within 30 days after the date the Borrower makes its offer to such Lender (the “Offer
Period”); and (v) in reasonable detail, the nature of the applicable Change of Control and the projected impact of such Change of Control on the operations of Parent and its Subsidiaries or the Borrower, as the case may be. 

(ii) The Borrower shall comply with the terms of each such prepayment offer. Each Lender shall have the right to accept such offer prior to the
expiration of the applicable Offer Period. 
 3.3. Interest Rates and Payment Dates. (a) Each Loan shall bear interest at
9.75% per annum. 
 (b) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Loan (and any overdue interest or any other
overdue amount payable hereunder) shall bear interest at 11.75% per annum. 
 (c) Interest shall be payable in arrears on each Interest
Payment Date, provided that interest accruing pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section on any overdue amounts shall be payable from time to time on demand. 
 3.4. Fees; Computation of Interest and Fees. (a) The Borrower agrees to pay to Perry and the Administrative Agent the fees in the amounts and on the dates as set forth in any fee agreements with Perry or
the Administrative Agent and to perform any other obligations contained therein. 
  

 14 

 (b) Interest and fees payable pursuant hereto shall be calculated on the basis of a 365/366 day year.

 3.5. Pro Rata Treatment and Payments. (a) Each borrowing by the Borrower from the Lenders hereunder and any reduction of the
Commitments of the Lenders shall be made pro rata according to the respective Loan Percentages of the relevant Lenders. 
 (b)
Each payment (including, subject to 3.2(a), each prepayment) by the Borrower on account of principal of and interest on the Loans shall be made pro rata according to the respective outstanding principal amounts of the Loans then held
by the Lenders. 
 (c) Any amounts prepaid on account of the Loans may not be reborrowed. 
 (d) All payments (including prepayments) to be made by the Borrower hereunder, whether on account of principal, interest, fees or otherwise, shall be
made without setoff or counterclaim and shall be made prior to 12:00 Noon, New York City time, on the due date thereof to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders, at the Funding Office, in Dollars and in immediately
available funds. The Administrative Agent shall distribute such payments to the Lenders promptly upon receipt in like funds as received. If any payment hereunder becomes due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be
extended to the next succeeding Business Day. In the case of any extension of any payment of principal pursuant to the two preceding sentences, interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension. 
 (e) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by any Lender prior to a borrowing that such Lender will not make the amount that
would constitute its share of such borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender is making such amount available to the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be
required to, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. If such amount is not made available to the Administrative Agent by the required time on the Closing Date, such Lender shall pay to the
Administrative Agent, on demand, such amount with interest thereon at a rate equal to the greater of (i) the Federal Funds Effective Rate and (ii) a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on
interbank compensation for the period until such Lender makes such amount immediately available to the Administrative Agent. A certificate of the Administrative Agent submitted to any Lender with respect to any amounts owing under this paragraph
shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. If such Lender’s share of such borrowing is not made available to the Administrative Agent by such Lender within three Business Days of the Closing Date, the Administrative Agent shall also
be entitled to recover such amount with interest thereon at the rate per annum applicable to the Loans, on demand, from the Borrower. 
 (f)
Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified in writing by the Borrower prior to the date of any payment due to be made by the Borrower hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment to the Administrative Agent, the
Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower is making such payment, and the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be required to, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Lenders their 

  

 15 

 
respective pro rata shares of a corresponding amount. If such payment is not made to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower within three
Business Days after such due date, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover, on demand, from each Lender to which any amount which was made available pursuant to the preceding sentence, such amount with interest thereon at the rate per
annum equal to the daily average Federal Funds Effective Rate. Nothing herein shall be deemed to limit the rights of the Administrative Agent or any Lender against the Borrower. 
 3.6. Taxes. (a) All payments made by the Borrower under this Agreement shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding
for or on account of, any present or future income, stamp or other taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings, now or hereafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any Governmental Authority, excluding
(i) net income taxes and franchise taxes (imposed in lieu of net income taxes) imposed on the Administrative Agent or any Lender as a result of a present or former connection between the Administrative Agent or such Lender and the jurisdiction
of the Governmental Authority imposing such tax or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein (other than any such connection arising solely from the Administrative Agent or such Lender having executed, delivered or performed
its obligations or received a payment under, or enforced, this Agreement or any other Loan Document) and (ii) any branch profit taxes imposed by the United States of America or any similar tax imposed by any other jurisdiction described in
clause (i) above. If any such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings (“Non-Excluded Taxes”) or Other Taxes are required to be withheld from any amounts payable to the
Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder, the amounts so payable to the Administrative Agent or such Lender shall be increased to the extent necessary to yield to the Administrative Agent or such Lender (after payment of all Non-Excluded Taxes
and Other Taxes) interest or any such other amounts payable hereunder at the rates or in the amounts specified in this Agreement, provided, however, that the Borrower shall not be required to increase any such amounts payable to any
Lender with respect to any Non-Excluded Taxes (i) that are attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the requirements of paragraph (d) or (f) of this Section or (ii) that are United States withholding taxes
imposed on amounts payable to such Lender at the time such Lender becomes a party to this Agreement, except to the extent that such Lender’s assignor (if any) was entitled, at the time of assignment, to receive additional amounts from the
Borrower with respect to such Non-Excluded Taxes pursuant to this paragraph. 
 (b) In addition, the Borrower shall pay any Other Taxes to
the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law. 
 (c) Whenever any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes are payable by
the Borrower, as promptly as possible thereafter the Borrower shall send to the Administrative Agent for its own account or for the account of the Administrative Agent or Lender, as the case may be, a certified copy of an original official receipt
received by the Borrower showing payment thereof. If the Borrower fails to pay any Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority or fails to remit to the Administrative Agent the required receipts or other required
documentary evidence, the Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and the Lenders for any incremental taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by the Administrative Agent or any Lender as a result of any such failure.

  

 16 

 (d) If, in its sole discretion and without any obligation to disclose its tax records, a Lender or the
Administrative Agent determines that it has received a refund from a Governmental Authority in respect of Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Borrower pursuant to Section 3.6(a) or with respect to which
the Borrower has paid additional amounts pursuant to Sections 3.6(a) or (b), it shall pay over such refund to the Borrower (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under this Section 3.6
with respect to the Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of such Lender or the Administrative Agent and without interest (other than interest paid by the relevant Governmental
Authority with respect to such refund); provided that, the Borrower, upon the request of such Lender or the Administrative Agent, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the Borrower (plus penalties, interest or other reasonable charges) to
such Lender or the Administrative Agent in the event such Lender or the Administrative Agent is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. 
 (e) Each Lender (or Transferee) that is not a “U.S. Person” as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code (a “Non-U.S. Lender”) shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative
Agent (or, in the case of a Participant, to the Lender from which the related participation shall have been purchased) two copies of either U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or Form W-8ECI, or, in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender claiming
exemption from U.S. federal withholding tax under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Code with respect to payments of “portfolio interest”, a statement substantially in the form of Exhibit E and a Form W-8BEN, or any subsequent
versions thereof or successors thereto, properly completed and duly executed by such Non-U.S. Lender claiming complete exemption from, or a reduced rate of, U.S. federal withholding tax on all payments by the Borrower under this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents. Such forms shall be delivered by each Non-U.S. Lender on or before the date it becomes a party to this Agreement (or, in the case of any Participant, on or before the date such Participant purchases the related participation).
In addition, each Non-U.S. Lender shall deliver such forms promptly upon the obsolescence or invalidity of any form previously delivered by such Non-U.S. Lender. Each Non-U.S. Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower at any time it determines that
it is no longer in a position to provide any previously delivered certificate to the Borrower (or any other form of certification adopted by the U.S. taxing authorities for such purpose). Notwithstanding any other provision of this paragraph, a
Non-U.S. Lender shall not be required to deliver any form pursuant to this paragraph that such Non-U.S. Lender is not legally able to deliver. 
 (f) A Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of non-U.S. withholding tax under the law of the jurisdiction in which the Borrower is located, or any treaty to which such jurisdiction is a party, with respect to payments
under this Agreement shall deliver to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by
applicable law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate, provided that such Lender is legally entitled to complete, execute and deliver such documentation and in such Lender’s judgment such
completion, execution or submission would not materially prejudice the legal position of such Lender. 
  

 17 

 (g) The agreements in this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the
Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder. 
 3.7. Change of Lending Office. Each Lender agrees that, upon the occurrence of any
event giving rise to the operation of Section 3.6(a) with respect to such Lender, it will, if requested by the Borrower, use reasonable efforts (subject to overall policy considerations of such Lender) to designate another lending office for
any Loans affected by such event with the object of avoiding the consequences of such event; provided, that such designation is made on terms that, in the sole judgment of such Lender, cause such Lender and its lending office(s) to suffer no
economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage, and provided, further, that nothing in this Section shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of the Borrower or the rights of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.6(a). 
 3.8. Replacement of Lenders. The Borrower shall be permitted to replace any Lender that requests reimbursement for amounts owing pursuant to
Section 3.6(a) or (b), with a replacement financial institution; provided that (i) such replacement does not conflict with any Requirement of Law, (ii) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of
such replacement, (iii) prior to any such replacement, such Lender shall have taken no action under Section 3.7 so as to eliminate the continued need for payment of amounts owing pursuant to Section 3.6(a), (iv) the replacement
financial institution shall purchase, at par, all Loans and other amounts owing to such replaced Lender on or prior to the date of replacement, (v) the replacement financial institution, if not already a Lender, shall be reasonably satisfactory
to the Administrative Agent, (vi) the replaced Lender shall be obligated to make such replacement in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.6 (provided that the Borrower shall be obligated to pay the registration and
processing fee referred to therein), (vii) until such time as such replacement shall be consummated, the Borrower shall pay all additional amounts (if any) required pursuant to Section 3.6(a), as the case may be, and (viii) any such
replacement shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any rights that the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any other Lender shall have against the replaced Lender. 
 3.9. Evidence of Debt. (a) Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan of such
Lender from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time under this Agreement. 
 (b) The Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Borrower, shall maintain the Register pursuant to Section 10.6(d), and a subaccount therein for each Lender, in which shall be recorded (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder,
(ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) both the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder from the Borrower and
each Lender’s share thereof. 
 (c) The entries made in the Register and the accounts of each Lender maintained pursuant to
Section 3.11(a) shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations of the Borrower therein recorded; provided, however, that the failure of any Lender
or the Administrative Agent to maintain the Register or any such account, or any error therein, shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay (with applicable interest) the Loans made to the Borrower by such Lender in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement. 
  

 18 

 SECTION 4. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES 
 To induce the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to enter into this Agreement and to make the Loans, the Borrower hereby represents and warrants to the
Administrative Agent and each Lender that: 
 4.1. Corporate Existence; Compliance with Law. Each of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries
(a) is duly organized and validly existing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization or incorporation, as applicable, (b) has the power and authority, and the legal right, to own and operate its property, to lease the property
it operates as lessee and to conduct the business in which it is currently engaged, (c) is duly authorized and licensed under the laws of each jurisdiction where its ownership, lease or operation of property or the conduct of its business
requires such authorization or license, (d) is in compliance with all Requirements of Law except to the extent that the failure to comply therewith would not, in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect and
(e) has all necessary licenses, permits, consents or approvals from or by, has made all necessary filings with, and has given all necessary notices to, each Governmental Authority having jurisdiction, to the extent required for such ownership,
operation and conduct, except for licenses, permits, consents, approvals or filings which can be obtained or made by taking of ministerial action to secure the grant or transfer thereof or the failure to obtain or make would not have a Material
Adverse Effect. 
 4.2. Power; Authorization; Enforceable Obligations. Each Loan Party has the power and authority, and the legal
right, to make, deliver and perform the Loan Documents to which it is a party and, in the case of the Borrower, to obtain extensions of credit hereunder. Each Loan Party has taken all necessary organizational action to authorize the execution,
delivery and performance of the Loan Documents to which it is a party and, in the case of the Borrower, to authorize the extensions of credit on the terms and conditions of this Agreement. No consent or authorization of, filing with, notice to or
other act by or in respect of, any Governmental Authority or any other Person is required in connection with the extensions of credit hereunder or with the execution, delivery, performance, validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any of the
Loan Documents, except the filings referred to in Section 4.7 of the Guarantee and Pledge Agreement. Each Loan Document has been duly executed and delivered on behalf of each Loan Party thereto. This Agreement constitutes, and each other Loan
Document upon execution will constitute, a legal, valid and binding obligation of each Loan Party thereto, enforceable against each such Loan Party in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by general equitable principles (whether enforcement is sought by proceedings in equity or at law). 
 4.3. No Legal Bar. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the borrowings hereunder and the use of
the proceeds thereof will not violate any Requirement of Law or any Contractual Obligation of any Group Member and will not result in, or require, the creation or imposition of any Lien on any of their respective properties or revenues pursuant to
any Requirement of Law or any such Contractual Obligation 
  

 19 

 
(other than the Liens created by the Security Documents). No Requirement of Law or Contractual Obligation applicable to the Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 
 4.4. Litigation. No litigation, investigation or
proceeding of or before any arbitrator or Governmental Authority is pending or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, threatened by or against any Group Member or against any of their respective properties or revenues (a) with respect to any of the
Loan Documents or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or (b) that would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 
 4.5. No Default. No Group Member is in default under or with respect to any of its Contractual Obligations (excluding, for the purpose of this sentence only, the Crest Obligations) in any respect that would
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No Default or Event of Default (including any Default or Event of Default relating to the Crest Obligations) has occurred and is continuing. 
 4.6. Ownership of Property; Liens. Each Loan Party has good title to, or a valid leasehold interest in, all its property, and none of such
property is subject to any Lien except as permitted by Section 6.4 of the Guarantee and Pledge Agreement. 
 4.7. Intellectual
Property. Except to the extent the same would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect: each Group Member owns, or is licensed to use, all Intellectual Property necessary for the conduct of its business as currently
conducted; no material claim has been asserted and is pending by any Person challenging or questioning the use of any Intellectual Property or the validity or effectiveness of any Intellectual Property, nor does the Borrower know of any valid basis
for any such claim; and the use of Intellectual Property by each Group Member does not infringe on the rights of any Person in any material respect. 
 4.8. Taxes. Each of the Parent and the Borrower and each of their Subsidiaries has filed or caused to be filed all federal, state and other material tax returns that are required to be filed and has paid all
taxes shown to be due and payable on said returns or on any assessments made against it or any of its property and all other taxes, fees or other charges imposed on it or any of its property by any Governmental Authority (other than any the amount
or validity of that are currently being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and with respect to which reserves in conformity with GAAP have been provided on the books of the Parent, the Borrower or any of their Subsidiaries, as the
case may be); no tax Lien has been filed, and, to the knowledge of the Parent and the Borrower, no claim is being asserted, with respect to any such tax, fee or other charge. 
 4.9. Federal Regulations. No part of the proceeds of any Loans, and no other extensions of credit hereunder, will be used for any purpose that
violates the provisions of the Regulations of the Board. If requested by any Lender or the Administrative Agent, the Borrower will furnish to the Administrative Agent and each Lender a statement to the foregoing effect in conformity with the
requirements of FR Form G-3 or FR Form U-1, as applicable, referred to in Regulation U. 
  

 20 

 4.10. ERISA. Neither a Reportable Event nor an “accumulated funding deficiency” (within
the meaning of Section 412 of the Code or Section 302 of ERISA), and, on and after the effectiveness of the Pension Act, no failure by any Plan to satisfy the minimum funding standards (within the meaning of Section 412 of the Code or
Section 302 of ERISA) applicable to such Plan whether or not waived, has occurred during the five-year period prior to the date on which this representation is made or deemed made with respect to any Plan, and each Plan has complied in all
material respects with the applicable provisions of ERISA and the Code. No termination of a Single Employer Plan has occurred, and no Lien in favor of the PBGC or a Plan has arisen, during the five-year period prior to the date on which this
representation is made and, on and after the effectiveness of the Pension Act, no Plan is, or is expected to be, in “at risk” status (within the meaning of Title IV of ERISA). The present value of all accrued benefits under each Single
Employer Plan (based on those assumptions used to fund such Plans) did not, as of the last annual valuation date prior to the date on which this representation is made or deemed made, exceed the value of the assets of such Plan allocable to such
accrued benefits by a material amount. Neither the Borrower nor any Commonly Controlled Entity has had a complete or partial withdrawal from any Multiemployer Plan that has resulted or could reasonably be expected to result in a material liability
under ERISA, and neither the Borrower nor any Commonly Controlled Entity would become subject to any material liability under ERISA if the Borrower or any such Commonly Controlled Entity were to withdraw completely from all Multiemployer Plans as of
the valuation date most closely preceding the date on which this representation is made or deemed made. No Multiemployer Plan is in Reorganization, Insolvent or, is or is reasonably expected to be, in endangered or critical status within the meaning
of Section 305 of ERISA. 
 4.11. Investment Company Act; Other Regulations. No Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries is an
“investment company”, or a company “controlled” by an “investment company”, within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. No Loan Party is subject to regulation under any Requirement of Law
(other than Regulation X of the Board) that limits its ability to incur Indebtedness. 
 4.12. Subsidiaries. Except as disclosed
to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower in writing prior to the Closing Date, (a) CLH does not have any Subsidiaries other than those listed on Schedule 1 to this Agreement and (b) there are no outstanding subscriptions, options,
warrants, calls, rights or other agreements or commitments (other than stock options granted to employees or directors and directors’ qualifying shares) of any nature relating to any Capital Stock of the Borrower or any other Group Member,
except for the long-term incentive plan as set forth in the prospectus for CQP dated March 7, 2007, or as created by the Loan Documents. 
 4.13. Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of the Loans shall be used for general corporate purposes, including a loan to Parent on a general unsecured basis to be used by Parent to repurchase a portion of its outstanding Capital Stock, for
general corporate purposes and to pay related fees and expenses incurred in connection with the transactions contemplated herein. 
 4.14.
Accuracy of Information, etc. The information in all financial statements provided pursuant to Section 4.10 of the Guarantee and Pledge Agreement fairly represent in all material respects the financial condition of the Parent and its
Subsidiaries as at such dates and the 
  

 21 

 
results of their operations for the fiscal periods ended on such dates all in accordance with GAAP. The certifications set forth in each certificate
delivered by the Borrower on the date hereof are true and correct in all material respects. There is no fact known to any Loan Party that would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect that has not been expressly disclosed herein, in
the other Loan Documents or in any other documents, certificates and statements furnished to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders for use in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Loan Documents. 
 4.15. Solvency; Indebtedness. Each Loan Party is, and after giving effect to the incurrence of all Indebtedness and obligations being incurred in
connection herewith will be Solvent. Except as disclosed on Schedule 2, none of any Loan Party or Cheniere FLNG, L.P. has incurred any Indebtedness other than the Loans and the Crest Obligations. 
 4.16. Security Documents. The Guarantee and Pledge Agreement is effective to create in favor of the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the
Lenders, a legal, valid and enforceable security interest in the Collateral described therein and proceeds thereof. In the case of the Pledged Stock described in the Guarantee and Pledge Agreement, when stock certificates representing such Pledged
Stock are delivered to the Administrative Agent, and in the case of the other Collateral described in the Guarantee and Pledge Agreement, when financing statements and other filings specified on Schedule 3 in appropriate form are filed in the
offices specified on Schedule 3, the Guarantee and Pledge Agreement shall constitute a fully perfected Lien on, and security interest in, all right, title and interest of the Loan Parties in such Collateral and the proceeds thereof, as security for
the Obligations (as defined in the Guarantee and Pledge Agreement), in each case prior and superior in right to any other Person (except Liens permitted by Section 6.4 of the Guarantee and Pledge Agreement). 
 4.17. No Material Adverse Change. Since December 31, 2006, there has been no development or event that has had or would reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 
 4.18. Approvals. All governmental and third party approvals necessary in connection
with the financing thereof (including the Loans contemplated hereunder) and the continuing operations of the Borrower and their respective subsidiaries (including shareholder approvals, if any) have been obtained on reasonably satisfactory terms and
are in full force and effect, and all applicable waiting periods have expired without any action being taken or threatened by any competent authority that would restrain, prevent or otherwise impose adverse conditions on the transactions
contemplated hereby. 
 4.19. Rating. As soon as reasonably practicable after the Closing Date, the Borrower shall use best efforts to
obtain, and thereafter to maintain, a credit rating for the Loans from Moody’s or S&P.

Pledge Agreement). 
 SECTION 7. NEGATIVE COVENANTS 
 The Borrower hereby agrees that, so long as any Loan or other amount is owing to any Lender or Administrative Agent hereunder, the Borrower shall and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries that are Loan Parties to
comply with their respective obligations under Section 6 of the Guarantee and Pledge Agreement. In the event the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries that are Loan Parties cease to be Grantors under the Guarantee and Pledge Agreement, or if the
Guarantee and Pledge Agreement, for whatever reason, shall no longer be in full force or effect (other than by reason of payment in full of the Obligations), the provisions of such section shall be deemed to be incorporated herein by reference as if
set forth in full herein, and all references herein to such section shall be deemed to be references to such section as so incorporated herein. 
 SECTION 8. EVENTS OF DEFAULT 
 If any of the following events shall occur and be continuing: 
 (a) the Borrower shall fail to pay any principal of any Loan when due in accordance with the terms hereof; or the Borrower shall fail to pay any interest
on any Loan, or any other amount payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document, within five days after any such interest or other amount becomes due in accordance with the terms hereof; or 
  

 27 

 (b) any representation or warranty made or deemed made by any Loan Party herein or in any other Loan
Document or that is contained in any certificate, document or financial or other statement furnished by it at any time under or in connection with this Agreement or any such other Loan Document shall prove to have been inaccurate in any material
respect on or as of the date made or deemed made; or 
 (c) any Loan Party shall default in the observance or performance of any agreement
contained in clause (i) or (ii) of Section 6.3(a) (with respect to the Borrower ), Section 6.5(a) or (g)(ii) or (iii) or Section 7 of this Agreement or (ii) the Borrower or any Grantor (as defined in the Guarantee
and Pledge Agreement) shall default in the observance or performance of any agreement contained in Section 6 of the Guarantee and Pledge Agreement; or 
 (d) any Loan Party shall default in the observance or performance of any other agreement contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document (other than as provided in paragraphs (a) through (c) of this
Section), and such default shall continue unremedied for a period of 30 days after notice to the Borrower from the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders; or 
 (e) The Borrower shall default in (i) making any payment of any principal of any Indebtedness of the Borrower (including any Guarantee Obligation, but excluding the Loans and the Crest Obligations) on the
scheduled or original due date with respect thereto; or (ii) making any payment of any interest on any such Indebtedness beyond the period of grace, if any, provided in the instrument or agreement under which such Indebtedness was created; or
(iii) the observance or performance of any other agreement or condition relating to any such Indebtedness or contained in any instrument or agreement evidencing, securing or relating thereto, or any other event shall occur or condition exist
(other than (x) any disposition of assets giving rise to a repayment or prepayment obligation on Indebtedness secured by such assets and (y) the issuance of Capital Stock or Indebtedness giving rise to a repayment obligation with respect
to the proceeds of such issuance, provided in each case such payment is timely made), the effect of which default or other event or condition is to cause, or to permit the holder or beneficiary of such Indebtedness (or a trustee or agent on
behalf of such holder or beneficiary) to cause, with the giving of notice if required, such Indebtedness to become due prior to its stated maturity or (in the case of any such Indebtedness constituting a Guarantee Obligation) to become payable in
respect of any such accelerated Indebtedness; or 
 (f) Parent, CLH, CQP or Sabine Pass LNG, L.P. shall default in the observance or
performance of any agreement or condition relating to any Indebtedness (including any Guarantee Obligation, but excluding the Loans and the Crest Obligations) or contained in any instrument or agreement evidencing, securing or relating thereto, or
any other event shall occur or condition exist (other than (x) any disposition of assets giving rise to a repayment or prepayment obligation on Indebtedness secured by such assets and (y) the issuance of Capital Stock or Indebtedness
giving rise to a repayment obligation with respect to the proceeds of such issuance, provided in each case such payment is timely made), the effect of which default or other event or condition is to cause such Indebtedness to become due prior
to its stated maturity or (in the case of any such Indebtedness constituting a Guarantee Obligation) to become due or payable in respect of any such accelerated Indebtedness; provided, that a default, 

  

 28 

 
event or condition described in this clause (f) shall not at any time constitute an Event of Default unless, at such time, one or more defaults, events
or conditions of the type described in this clause (f) shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to Indebtedness the outstanding principal amount of which exceeds in the aggregate $10,000,000; or 
 (g)(i) the Borrower, Parent, CLH, CQP, CQP-GP or Sabine Pass LNG, L.P. shall commence any case, proceeding or other action (A) under any existing or

seeking reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, winding-up, liquidation, dissolution, composition or other relief with respect to it or its debts, or (B) seeking appointment of a receiver, trustee, custodian, conservator or other similar
official for it or for all or any substantial part of its assets, or the Borrower, Parent, CLH, CQP, CQP-GP or Sabine Pass LNG, L.P. shall make a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors; or (ii) there shall be commenced against the

(B) remains undismissed, undischarged or unbonded for a period of 60 days; or (iii) there shall be commenced against the Borrower, Parent, CLH, CQP, CQP-GP or Sabine Pass LNG, L.P. any case, proceeding or other action seeking issuance
of a warrant of attachment, execution, distraint or similar process against all or any substantial part of its assets that results in the entry of an order for any such relief that shall not have been vacated, discharged, or stayed or bonded pending
appeal within 60 days from the entry thereof; or (iv) the Borrower, Parent, CLH, CQP, CQP-GP or Sabine Pass LNG, L.P. shall take any action in furtherance of, or indicating its consent to, approval of, or acquiescence in, any of the acts
set forth in clause (i), (ii), or (iii) above; or (v) the Borrower, Parent, CLH, CQP, CQP-GP or Sabine Pass LNG, L.P. shall generally not, or shall be unable to, or shall admit in writing its inability to, pay its debts as they become
due; or

minimum funding standards within the meaning of Section 412 of the Code or Section 302 of ERISA) applicable to such Plan, whether or not waived, shall exist with respect to any Plan or any Lien in favor of the PBGC or a Plan shall arise on
the assets of the Borrower or any Commonly Controlled Entity, (iii) a Reportable Event shall occur with respect to, or proceedings shall commence to have a trustee appointed, or a trustee shall be appointed, to administer or to terminate, any
Single Employer Plan, which Reportable Event or commencement of proceedings or appointment of a trustee is, in the reasonable opinion of the Required Lenders, likely to result in the termination of such Plan for purposes of Title IV of ERISA,
(iv) any Single Employer Plan shall terminate for purposes of Title IV of ERISA, (v) on and after the effectiveness of the Pension Act, there is a determination that any Plan is, or is expected to be, in “at risk” status
(within the meaning of Title IV of ERISA), (vi) the Borrower or any Commonly Controlled Entity shall, or in the reasonable opinion of the Required Lenders is likely to, incur any liability in connection with a withdrawal from, or the Insolvency
or the Reorganization or the endangered or critical status (within the meaning of Title IV of ERISA) of, a Multiemployer Plan or (vi) any other event or condition shall occur or exist with respect to a Plan; and in each case in clauses (i)
through (vi) above, such event or condition, together with all other such events or conditions, if any, would, in the sole judgment of the Required Lenders, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; or 
  

 29 

 (i) one or more judgments or decrees shall be entered against the Borrower or any Group Member involving
in the aggregate a liability (not paid or fully covered by insurance as to which the relevant insurance company has acknowledged coverage) of $20,000,000, and all such judgments or decrees shall not have been vacated, discharged, stayed or bonded
pending appeal within 30 days from the entry thereof; or 
 (j) any of the Security Documents shall cease, for any reason, to be in full
force and effect or to create a valid and perfected first priority security interest in any Collateral purported to be covered thereby, or the Grantor or Guarantor (as defined in the Guarantee and Pledge Agreement) shall so assert, or any Lien
created by any of the Security Documents shall cease to be enforceable and of the same effect and priority purported to be created thereby; provided that any Lien created by the Security Documents shall be subject to the priority of the Crest
Obligations; or 
 (k) the guarantee contained in Section 2 of the Guarantee and Pledge Agreement shall cease, for any reason, to be in
full force and effect or any Guarantor (as defined in the Guarantee and Pledge Agreement) shall so assert; or 
 (l) the Administrative Agent
shall have received a Crest Remedy Instruction and the specified payment due in respect of the Crest Obligations shall not have been made within the five (5) Business Day period specified in Section 7.6 of the Guaranty and Pledge
Agreement; 
 then, and in any such event, (A) if such event is an Event of Default specified in clause (i) or (ii) of paragraph (g)
above with respect to the Borrower, automatically the Commitments shall immediately terminate and the Loans hereunder (with accrued interest thereon) and all other amounts owing under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall immediately
become due and payable, and (B) if such event is any other Event of Default, with the consent of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent may, or upon the request of the Required Lenders, the Administrative Agent shall, by notice to the
Borrower, declare the Loans hereunder (with accrued interest thereon) and all other amounts owing under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to be due and payable forthwith, whereupon the same shall immediately become due and payable. Except
as expressly provided above in this Section, presentment, demand, protest and all other notices of any kind are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower. 
 SECTION 9. THE AGENTS 
 9.1. Appointment. Each Lender hereby irrevocably designates and appoints
the Administrative Agent as the Administrative Agent of such Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and each such Lender irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent, in such capacity, to take such action on its behalf under
the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, together with such
other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. 
  

 30 

 
Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall have no duties or responsibilities, except those
expressly set forth herein, or any fiduciary relationship with any Lender, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise exist
against the Administrative Agent. 
 9.2. Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties under this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents by or through agents or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or
misconduct of any agents or attorneys in-fact selected by it with reasonable care. 
 9.3. Exculpatory Provisions. Neither any Agent
nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates shall be (i) liable for any action lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by it or such Person under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan
Document (except to the extent that any of the foregoing are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from its or such Person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct),
(ii) responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by any Loan Party or any officer thereof contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document or in any certificate, report,
statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by any Agent under or in connection with, this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this
Agreement or any other Loan Document or for any failure of any Loan Party a party thereto to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder or (iii) liable for any special, exemplary, punitive or consequential damages. No Agent shall be under
any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to inspect the properties, books or records of any
Loan Party. 
 9.4. Reliance by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected
in relying, upon any instrument, writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telecopy, telex or teletype message, statement, order or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been
signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall
be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or any other Loan Document unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders) as it
deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense that may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. The Administrative Agent shall in
all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents in accordance with a request of the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders), and such request and
any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders and all future holders of the Loans. 
  

 31 

 9.5. Notice of Default. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice
of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default hereunder unless the Administrative Agent has received notice from a Lender or the Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is
a “notice of default”. In the event that the Administrative Agent receives such a notice, the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or
Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders or any other instructing group of Lenders specified by this Agreement); provided that unless and until the
Administrative Agent shall have received such directions, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable
in the best interests of the Lenders. 
 9.6. Non-Reliance on Agents and Other Lenders. Each Lender expressly acknowledges that
neither any Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates have made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by any Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of a Loan
Party or any affiliate of a Loan Party, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by such Agent to any Lender. Each Lender represents to each Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon such Agent or any other
Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and their
affiliates and made its own decision to make its Loans hereunder and enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and
information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigation as it deems
necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and their affiliates. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to
the Lenders by the Administrative Agent hereunder, no Agent shall have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, condition (financial or otherwise), prospects
or creditworthiness of any Loan Party or any affiliate of a Loan Party that may come into the possession of such Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates. 
 9.7. Indemnification. The Lenders agree to indemnify each Agent in its capacity as such (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower and without
limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), ratably according to their respective Loan Percentages in effect on the date on which indemnification is sought under this Section (or, if indemnification is sought after the date upon which the
Loans shall have been paid in full, ratably in accordance with such Loan Percentages immediately prior to such date), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or
disbursements of any kind whatsoever that may at any time (whether before or after the payment of the Loans) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Agent or other Person in any way relating to or arising out of, the Commitments, this
Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated 
  

 32 

 
hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided that no Lender
shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements that are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent
jurisdiction to have resulted from such Agent’s or other Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The agreements in this Section shall survive the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder. 
 9.8. The Agents in Their Individual Capacity. Each Agent and its Affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any
kind of business with any Loan Party as though such Agent were not an Agent. With respect to its Loans made or renewed by it, each Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as any Lender and may
exercise the same as though it were not an Agent, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” shall include each Agent in its individual capacity. 
 9.9. Successor Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may resign as Administrative Agent upon ten days’ notice to the Lenders and the Borrower. If the Administrative Agent shall resign as
Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, then the Required Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor agent for the Lenders, which successor agent shall (unless an Event of Default under Section 8(a)
or Section 8(e) with respect to the Borrower shall have occurred and be continuing) be subject to approval by the Borrower (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), whereupon such successor agent shall succeed to the
rights, powers and duties of the Administrative Agent, and the term “Administrative Agent” shall mean such successor agent effective upon such appointment and approval, and the former Administrative Agent’s rights, powers and duties
as Administrative Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Administrative Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement or any holders of the Loans. If no successor agent has accepted appointment
as Administrative Agent by the date that is ten days following a retiring Administrative Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and the Lenders shall
assume and perform all of the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation as Administrative
Agent, the provisions of this Section 9 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. 
 9.10. Cure of Crest Remedy Instruction. Upon receipt by the Administrative Agent of a Crest Remedy Instruction, the Administrative Agent shall
provide notice to the Borrower and the Lenders within one (1) Business Day. The Lenders shall notify the Administrative Agent within two (2) Business Days of receipt of such notice from Administrative Agent as to their willingness or
unwillingness to pay to the Administrative Agent, in accordance with their respective Loan Percentages, the amount due as specified in such Crest Remedy Instruction. If Borrower has not given evidence to the Administrative Agent that the amount due
as specified in such Crest Remedy Instruction has been paid, and the Administrative Agent notifies the Lenders that the full amount required will be paid by the Lenders, then the Lenders will pay such amount to the Administrative Agent for payment
to Crest pursuant to Section 7.6 of the Guarantee and Pledge Agreement. Any such payment shall be reimbursed to the Administrative Agent, on demand, by the Borrower, and until paid shall bear interest at the rate specified in
Section 3.3(b). 
  

 33 

 9.11. Conflicts. The terms of the Loan Documents may require the Administrative Agent to act in
multiple capacities and all Person waive any conflict of interest, now contemplated or arising hereafter, in connection therewith and agrees not to assert against Administrative Agent any claims, causes of action, damages or liabilities of whatever
kind or nature relating thereto and agree that in the event that Administrative Agent receives conflicting instructions or otherwise reasonably believes that a conflict exists that Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in
acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement until the conflict has been resolved to its satisfaction, (which resolution may include the receipt of an opinion from a court of competent jurisdiction). 
 9.12. Agents Generally. Except as expressly set forth herein, no Agent shall have any duties or responsibilities hereunder in its capacity as
such. 
 SECTION 10. MISCELLANEOUS 
 10.1. Amendments and Waivers. (a) None of this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any terms hereof or thereof may be amended, supplemented or modified except in accordance with the provisions of this Section 10.1. The
Required Lenders and each Loan Party party to the relevant Loan Document may, or (with the written consent of the Required Lenders) the Administrative Agent and each Loan Party party to the relevant Loan Document may, from time to time,
(i) enter into written amendments, supplements or modifications hereto and to the other Loan Documents for the purpose of adding any provisions to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or changing in any manner the rights of the Lenders or
of the Loan Parties hereunder or thereunder or (ii) waive, on such terms and conditions as the Required Lenders or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, may specify in such instrument, any of the requirements of this Agreement or the
other Loan Documents or any Default or Event of Default and its consequences; provided, however, that no such waiver and no such amendment, supplement or modification shall (A) (x) forgive or reduce by any amount the
principal amount of any Loan, the interest rate applicable to any Loan or any redemption premium to which any loan may be subject the principal amount or extend the final scheduled date of maturity of any Loan, extend the scheduled date of any
amortization payment in respect of any Loan, reduce the stated rate of any interest or fee payable hereunder or (y) release all or a material portion of the Collateral (except as expressly contemplated in the Guarantee and Pledge Agreement) or
release either of the Guarantors from their obligations under the Guarantee and Pledge Agreement, in each case without the written consent of all Lenders; or (B) amend, modify or waive any provision of Section 9 without the written consent
of each Agent adversely affected thereby. Any such waiver and any such amendment, supplement or modification shall apply equally to each of the Lenders and shall be binding upon the Loan Parties, the Lenders, each Agent and all future holders of the
Loans. In the case of any waiver, the Loan Parties, the Lenders and the Agents shall be restored to their former position and rights hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, and any Default or Event of Default waived shall be deemed to be cured
and not continuing; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default, or impair any right consequent thereon. 
  

 34 

 (b) If, in connection with any proposed amendment, waiver or consent requiring the consent of “all
Lenders”, the consent of the Required Lenders is obtained, but the consent of other necessary Lenders is not obtained (any such Lender whose consent is necessary but not obtained being referred to herein as a “Non-Consenting
Lender”), then the Borrower may elect to replace a Non-Consenting Lender as a Lender party to this Agreement; provided that, concurrently with such replacement, (i) another bank or other entity which is reasonably satisfactory to the
Borrower, the Required Lenders and the Administrative Agent shall agree, as of such date, to purchase for cash the Loans and other Obligations due to the Non-Consenting Lender pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption and to become a Lender for all
purposes under this Agreement and to assume all obligations of the Non-Consenting Lender to be terminated as of such date and to comply with the requirements of clause (b)(ii) of Section 10.1, (ii) the replacement Lender shall grant its
consent with respect to the applicable proposed amendment, waiver or consent and (iii) the Borrower shall pay to such Non-Consenting Lender in same day funds on the day of such replacement all interest, fees and other amounts then accrued but
unpaid to such Non-Consenting Lender by such Borrower hereunder to and including the date of termination, including without limitation payments due to such Non-Consenting Lender under Section 3.6 (assuming that the Loans of such Non-Consenting
Lender have been prepaid on such date rather than sold to the replacement Lender). 
 10.2. Notices. All notices, requests and demands
to or upon the respective parties hereto to be effective shall be in writing (including by telecopy), and, unless otherwise expressly provided herein, shall be deemed to have been duly given or made when delivered, or three Business Days after being

 Notices and other communications to the Lenders hereunder may be delivered or furnished by electronic

 10.3. No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No failure to exercise and no delay in

 36 

 10.5. Payment of Expenses and Taxes. The Borrower agrees (a) to pay or reimburse each of the
Administrative Agent and Perry for all its reasonable legal expenses incurred in connection with the development, preparation and execution of, and any amendment, supplement or modification to, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any
other documents prepared in connection herewith or therewith, and the consummation and administration of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, with statements with respect to the foregoing to be submitted to the Borrower prior to the
Closing Date (in the case of amounts to be paid on the Closing Date) and from time to time thereafter on a quarterly basis or such other periodic basis as the Administrative Agent shall deem appropriate, (b) to pay or reimburse each Lender and
the Administrative Agent for all its costs and expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement or preservation of any rights under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any such other documents, including the fees and disbursements of
counsel (including the allocated fees and expenses of in-house counsel) to each Lender and of counsel to the Administrative Agent, (c) to pay, indemnify, and hold each Lender and the Administrative Agent harmless from, any and all recording and
filing fees and any and all liabilities with respect to, or resulting from any delay in paying, stamp, excise and other taxes, if any, that may be payable or determined to be payable in connection with the execution and delivery of, or consummation
or administration of any of the transactions contemplated by, or any amendment, supplement or modification of, or any waiver or consent under or in respect of, this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and any such other documents, and (d) to
pay, indemnify, and hold each Lender and Agent and their respective officers, directors, employees, affiliates, agents and controlling persons (each, an “Indemnitee”) harmless from and against any and all other liabilities,
obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever with respect to the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance and administration of this Agreement, the other
Loan Documents (regardless of whether any Loan Party is or is not a party to any such actions or suits) and any such other documents, including any of the foregoing relating to the use of proceeds of the Loans or the violation of, noncompliance with
or liability under, any Environmental Law applicable to the operations of any Group Member or any of the Properties and the reasonable fees and expenses of legal counsel in connection with claims, actions or proceedings by any Indemnitee against any
Loan Party under any Loan Document (all the foregoing in this clause (d), collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”), provided, that the Borrower shall have no obligation hereunder to any Indemnitee with respect to
Indemnified Liabilities to the extent such Indemnified Liabilities are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee. Without
limiting the foregoing, and to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrower agrees not to assert and to cause its Subsidiaries not to assert, and hereby waives and agrees to cause its Subsidiaries to waive, all rights for contribution or any
other rights of recovery with respect to all claims, demands, penalties, fines, liabilities, settlements, damages, costs and expenses of whatever kind or nature, under or related to Environmental Laws, that any of them might have by statute or
otherwise against any Indemnitee. All amounts due under this Section 10.5 shall be payable not later than ten days after written demand therefor. Statements payable by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 10.5 shall be submitted to the
address of the Borrower set forth in Section 10.2, or to such other address as may be hereafter designated by the Borrower in a written notice to the Administrative Agent. The agreements in this Section 10.5 shall survive repayment of the
Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder. 
  

 37 

 10.6. Successors and Assigns; Participations and Assignments. (a) The provisions of this
Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that (i) the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations
hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrower without such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations
hereunder except in accordance with this Section. 
 (b)(i) Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii) below, any
Lender may assign to one or more assignees (each, an “Assignee”) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans at the time owing to it) with the
prior written consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld), provided that no consent of the Borrower shall be required for an assignment to a Lender, an affiliate of a Lender, an Approved Fund (as defined below) or,
if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. 
 (ii) Assignments shall be subject to the following additional conditions:

 (A) except in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund or an assignment of the
entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitments or Loans, the amount of the Commitments or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such
assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $5,000,000 unless each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent, provided that (1) no such consent of the Borrower shall be required if an
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (2) such amounts shall be aggregated in respect of each Lender and its affiliates or Approved Funds, if any; 
 (B) the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a
processing and recordation fee of $3,500; 
 (C) the Assignee, if it shall not be a Lender, shall deliver to the
Administrative Agent an administrative questionnaire; and 
 (D) in the case of an assignment to a related CLO (as defined
below), the assigning Lender shall retain the sole right to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, provided that the Assignment and Assumption between such Lender and
such CLO may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of such CLO, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver that (1) requires the consent of each Lender directly affected thereby pursuant to the proviso to the second
sentence of Section 10.1 and (2) directly affects such CLO. 
  

 38 

 For the purposes of this Section 10.6, the terms “Approved Fund” and
“CLO” have the following meanings: 
 “Approved Fund” means (a) a CLO and (b) with
respect to any Lender that is a fund which invests in bank loans and similar extensions of credit, any other fund that invests in bank loans and similar extensions of credit and is managed by the same investment advisor as such Lender or by an
affiliate of such investment advisor. 
 “CLO” means any entity (whether a corporation, partnership, trust or
otherwise) that is engaged in making, purchasing, holding or otherwise investing in bank loans and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course of its business and is administered or managed by a Lender or an affiliate of such Lender.

 (iii) Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(iv) below, from and after the effective date specified in
each Assignment and Assumption the Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender
thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights
and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.6 and 9.5). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement
that does not comply with this Section 10.6 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (c) of this Section. 
 (iv) The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as the agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and
Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amount of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the
“Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder
for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. 
 (v) Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an Assignee, the Assignee’s completed
administrative questionnaire (unless the Assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b) of
this Section, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the
Register as provided in this paragraph. 
  

 39 

 (c)(i) Any Lender may, without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell
participations to one or more banks or other entities (a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans owing to it);
provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (C) the
Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement pursuant to which a Lender sells
such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement may provide that
such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver that (1) requires the consent of each Lender directly affected thereby pursuant to the proviso to the second sentence of
Section 10.1 and (2) directly affects such Participant. Subject to paragraph (c)(ii) of this Section, the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.6 to the same extent as if it were a
Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.7(b) as though it were a Lender,
provided such Participant shall be subject to Section 10.7(a) as though it were a Lender. 
 (ii) A Participant shall not be
entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.6 than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant. Any Participant that is a Non-U.S. Lender shall not be entitled
to the benefits of Section 3.6 unless such Participant complies with Section 3.6(d). 
 (d) Any Lender may at any time pledge or
assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section shall not apply to any
such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or Assignee for such Lender as a
party hereto. 
 (e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Conduit Lender may assign any or all of the Loans it may have funded hereunder to its
designating Lender without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent and without regard to the limitations set forth in Section 10.6(b). The Borrower, each Lender and the Administrative Agent hereby confirms that it will not
institute against a Conduit Lender or join any other Person in instituting against a Conduit Lender any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceeding under any state bankruptcy or similar law, for one year and one day
after the payment in full of the latest maturing commercial paper note issued by such Conduit Lender; provided, however, that each Lender designating any Conduit Lender hereby agrees to indemnify, save and hold harmless each other
party hereto for any loss, cost, damage or expense arising out of its inability to institute such a proceeding against such Conduit Lender during such period of forbearance. 
  

 40 

 10.7. Adjustments; Set-off. (a) Except to the extent that this Agreement expressly provides
for payments to be allocated to a particular Lender, if any Lender (a “Benefited Lender”) shall receive any payment of all or part of the Obligations owing to it, or receive any Collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or
involuntarily, by set-off, pursuant to events or proceedings of the nature referred to in Section 8(h), or otherwise), in a greater proportion than any such payment to or Collateral received by any other Lender, if any, in respect of the
Obligations owing to such other Lender, such Benefited Lender shall purchase for cash from the other Lenders a participating interest in such portion of the Obligations owing to each such other Lender, or shall provide such other Lenders with the
benefits of any such Collateral, as shall be necessary to cause such Benefited Lender to share the excess payment or benefits of such collateral ratably with each of the Lenders; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such
excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered from such Benefited Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price and benefits returned, to the extent of such recovery, but without interest. 
 (b) In addition to any rights and remedies of the Lenders provided by law, each Lender shall have the right, without prior notice to the Borrower, any

interest being assigned by it hereunder and that such interest is free and clear of any such adverse claim; and (b) makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to the financial condition of the Borrower, any
of its Subsidiaries or any other obligor or the performance or observance by the Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries or any other obligor of any of their respective obligations under the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document or any other

 SECTION 2. GUARANTEE 
 2.1. Guarantee. (a) Each of the Guarantors hereby, jointly and severally, unconditionally and irrevocably, guarantees to the Administrative
Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and their respective successors, endorsees, transferees and assigns, the prompt and complete payment and performance by the Borrower when due (whether at the stated maturity,
by acceleration or otherwise) of the Obligations. 
 (b) Anything herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding, the
maximum liability of each Guarantor hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall in no event exceed the amount which can be guaranteed by such Guarantor under applicable federal and state laws relating to the insolvency of debtors. 

(c) Each Guarantor agrees that the Obligations may at any time and from time to time exceed the amount of the liability of such Guarantor hereunder
without impairing the guarantee contained in this Section 2. or affecting the rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder. 
 (d) The guarantee contained in this Section 2. shall remain in full force and effect until all the Obligations and the obligations of each Guarantor under the guarantee contained in this
Section 2. shall have been satisfied by payment in full and the Commitments shall be terminated, notwithstanding that from time to time during the term of the Credit Agreement the Borrower may be free from any Obligations. 
 (e) No payment made by the Borrower, any of the Guarantors, any other guarantor or any other Person or received or collected by the Administrative Agent
or any Lender from the Borrower, any of the Guarantors, any other guarantor or any other Person by virtue of any action or proceeding or any set-off or appropriation or application at any time or from time to time in reduction of or in payment of
the Obligations shall be deemed to modify, reduce, release or otherwise affect the liability of any Guarantor hereunder which shall, notwithstanding any such payment (other than any payment made by such Guarantor in respect of the Obligations or any
payment received or collected from such Guarantor in respect of the Obligations), remain liable for the Obligations up to the maximum liability of such Guarantor hereunder until the Obligations are paid in full and the Commitments are terminated.

 2.2. No Subrogation. Notwithstanding any payment made by any Guarantor hereunder or any set-off or application of funds of any
Guarantor by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, no Guarantor shall be entitled to be subrogated to any of the rights of the Administrative Agent or any Lender against the Borrower or any other Guarantor or any collateral security or guarantee
or right of offset held by the Administrative Agent or any Lender for the payment of the Obligations, nor shall any Guarantor seek or be entitled to seek any contribution or reimbursement from the Borrower or any other Guarantor in respect of
payments made by such Guarantor hereunder, until all amounts owing to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders by the Borrower on account of the Obligations are paid in full and the Commitments are terminated. If any amount shall be paid to any
Guarantor on account of such subrogation rights at any time when all of the Obligations shall not have been paid in full, such amount shall be held by such Guarantor in trust for the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, segregated from 

 

 3 

 
other funds of such Guarantor, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by such Guarantor, be turned over to the Administrative Agent in the exact form received by
such Guarantor (duly endorsed by such Guarantor to the Administrative Agent, if required), to be applied against the Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in such order as the Administrative Agent may determine. 
 2.3. Amendments, etc. with respect to the Obligations. Each Guarantor shall remain obligated hereunder notwithstanding that, without any
reservation of rights against any Guarantor and without notice to or further assent by any Guarantor, any demand for payment of any of the Obligations made by the Administrative Agent or any Lender may be rescinded by the Administrative Agent or
such Lender and any of the Obligations continued, and the Obligations, or the liability of any other Person upon or for any part thereof, or any collateral security or guarantee therefor or right of offset with respect thereto, may, from time to
time, in whole or in part, be renewed, extended, amended, modified, accelerated, compromised, waived, surrendered or released by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, and the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any other documents
executed and delivered in connection therewith may be amended, modified, supplemented or terminated, in whole or in part, as the Administrative Agent (or the requisite Lenders or all Lenders, as the case may be) may deem advisable from time to time,
and any collateral security, guarantee or right of offset at any time held by the Administrative Agent or any Lender for the payment of the Obligations may be sold, exchanged, waived, surrendered or released. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any
Lender shall have any obligation to protect, secure, perfect or insure any Lien at any time held by it as security for the Obligations or for the guarantee contained in this Section 2. or any property subject thereto. 
 2.4. Guarantee Absolute and Unconditional. Each Guarantor waives any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension or accrual of any of the
Obligations and notice of or proof of reliance by the Administrative Agent or any Lender upon the guarantee contained in this Section 2. or acceptance of the guarantee contained in this Section 2. ; the Obligations, and any of
them, shall conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted or incurred, or renewed, extended, amended or waived, in reliance upon the guarantee contained in this Section 2. ; and all dealings between the Borrower and any of the
Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, on the other hand, likewise shall be conclusively presumed to have been had or consummated in reliance upon the guarantee contained in this Section 2. Each
Guarantor waives diligence, presentment, protest, demand for payment and notice of default or nonpayment to or upon the Borrower or any of the Guarantors with respect to the Obligations. Each Guarantor understands and agrees that the guarantee
contained in this Section 2. shall be construed as a continuing, absolute and unconditional guarantee of payment without regard to (1) the validity or enforceability of the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, any of the
Obligations or any other collateral security therefor or guarantee or right of offset with respect thereto at any time or from time to time held by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, (2) any defense, set-off or counterclaim (other than a
defense of payment or performance) which may at any time be available to or be asserted by the Borrower or any other Person against the Administrative Agent or any Lender, or (3) any other circumstance whatsoever (with or without notice to or
knowledge of the Borrower or such Guarantor) which constitutes, or might be construed to constitute, an equitable or legal discharge of the Borrower for the Obligations, or of such Guarantor under the guarantee contained in this
Section 2. , in bankruptcy or in any other instance (other than the payment of the Obligations in cash in full). 

  

 4 

 
When making any demand hereunder or otherwise pursuing its rights and remedies hereunder against any Guarantor, the Administrative Agent or any Lender may,
but shall be under no obligation to, make a similar demand on or otherwise pursue such rights and remedies as it may have against the Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other Person or against any collateral security or guarantee for the
Obligations or any right of offset with respect thereto, and any failure by the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make any such demand, to pursue such other rights or remedies or to collect any payments from the Borrower, any other Guarantor or
any other Person or to realize upon any such collateral security or guarantee or to exercise any such right of offset, or any release of the Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other Person or any such collateral security, guarantee or right of
offset, shall not relieve any Guarantor of any obligation or liability hereunder, and shall not impair or affect the rights and remedies, whether express, implied or available as a matter of law, of the Administrative Agent or any Lender against any
Guarantor. For the purposes hereof “demand” shall include the commencement and continuance of any legal proceedings. 
 2.5.
Reinstatement. The guarantee contained in this Section 2. shall continue to be effective, or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of any of the Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be
restored or returned by the Administrative Agent or any Lender upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of the Borrower or any Guarantor, or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or
conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, the Borrower or any Guarantor or any substantial part of its property, or otherwise, all as though such payments had not been made. 
 2.6. Payments. Each Guarantor hereby guarantees that payments hereunder will be paid to the Administrative Agent without set-off or counterclaim
in Dollars at the Payment Office specified in the Credit Agreement. 
 SECTION 3. GRANT OF SECURITY INTEREST 
 Each Grantor hereby assigns and transfers to the Administrative Agent, and hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders, a security interest in all Pledged Stock listed on Schedule 2 in which such Grantor now has or at any time in the future may acquire any right, title or interest and all Proceeds thereof (collectively,
the “Collateral”), as collateral security for the prompt and complete payment and performance when due (whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of the Obligations. In addition, each Grantor hereby assigns and
transfers to the Administrative Agent, and hereby grants to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of Crest, a separate and distinct security interest in the Collateral as security for the Crest Obligations. The Lien on the Collateral of the
Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders is expressly subordinated and junior in priority to the Lien on the Collateral of the Administrative Agent for the benefit of Crest (i) regardless of the time, order or method of grant,
attachment, recording or perfection of any financing statements or other security interests, assignments, pledges, deeds, mortgages and other liens, charges or encumbrances and (ii) notwithstanding any provision of the Uniform Commercial Code
or any applicable law.

required by Section 4.7. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered on its behalf. This Agreement constitutes its legal, valid and binding obligation enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, subject to the effects of
bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and other similar laws relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally, general equitable principles (whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law) and an
implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing. 
 4.3. No Legal Bar. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement will
not violate any Requirement of Law or Contractual Obligation of it or of any of its Subsidiaries and will not result in, or require, the creation or imposition of any Lien on any of its or their respective properties or revenues pursuant to any such
Requirement of Law or Contractual Obligation (other than pursuant to this Agreement). 
 4.4. Litigation. No litigation, investigation
or proceeding of or before any arbitrator or Governmental Authority is pending or, to its knowledge, threatened by or against it or any of its Subsidiaries or against any of its or their respective properties or revenues (x) with respect to

Agreement and the Lien securing the Crest Obligations, it owns each item of the Collateral pledged by it hereunder free and clear of any and all Liens or claims of others. No financing statement or other public notice with respect to all or any part
of such Collateral is on file or of record in any public office, except such as have been filed in favor of the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, pursuant to this Agreement or as are permitted
by the Credit Agreement. 
 4.7. Perfected First Priority Liens. In the case of each Grantor, the security interests granted pursuant
to this Agreement upon completion of the filings and other actions specified on Schedule 3 (which, in the case of all filings and other documents referred to on said Schedule, have been delivered to the Administrative Agent in completed and
duly executed form) will constitute valid perfected security interests in all of the Collateral pledged by such Grantor in favor of the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Lenders, as collateral security for the Obligations,
enforceable in accordance with the terms hereof against all creditors of such Grantor and any Persons purporting to purchase any such Collateral from such Grantor and are prior to all other Liens on the Collateral in existence on the date hereof,
except for the Lien securing the Crest Obligations. 
 4.8. Jurisdiction of Organization; Chief Executive Office. In the case of each
Grantor, on the date hereof, its jurisdiction of organization, identification number from its jurisdiction of organization (if any), and the locations of its chief executive office or sole place of business are specified on Schedule 4. Each of
each Guarantor and each Grantor has furnished to the Administrative Agent a certified charter, certificate of incorporation or other organization documents and a good standing certificate as of a date which is recent to the date hereof. 

4.9. Pledged Stock. In the case of each Grantor:

 (b) All the shares of such Pledged Stock have been duly and validly issued and are fully paid and nonassessable.

 (c) It is the record and beneficial owner of, and has good and marketable title to, the Pledged Stock pledged by it hereunder, free of any
and all Liens or options in favor of, or claims of, any other Person, except the security interest created by this Agreement and the Liens securing the Crest Obligations. 
 4.10. Financial Condition. The audited consolidated balance sheets of the Parent and its Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2004, December 31, 2005 and December 31, 2006, and the related
consolidated statements of income and of cash flows for the fiscal year 
  

 7 

 
ended on such date, reported on by and accompanied by an unqualified report from [UHY, LLP], present fairly in all material respects the consolidated
financial condition of the Parent and its Subsidiaries as at such date, and the consolidated results of their operations and their consolidated cash flows for the fiscal year then ended. Such financial statements, including the related schedules and
notes thereto, have been prepared in accordance with GAAP applied consistently throughout the periods involved (except as approved by the aforementioned firm of accountants and disclosed therein). 
 4.11. Investment Company Act; Other Regulations. Neither the Parent nor any of its Subsidiaries is an “investment company”, or a company
“controlled” by an “investment company”, within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. Neither the Parent nor any of its Subsidiaries is subject to regulation under any Requirement of Law (other than
Regulation X of the Board) that limits its ability to incur Indebtedness. 
 4.12. Accuracy of Information, etc. The information
in all financial statements provided pursuant to Section 4.10 above fairly represents in all material respects the financial condition of the Parent and its Subsidiaries as of such dates and the results of their operations for the fiscal
periods ended on such dates all in accordance with GAAP. The certifications set forth in each certificate delivered by it on the date hereof are true and correct in all material respects. As of the date hereof, there is no fact known to it that
would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect that has not been expressly disclosed herein, in the other Loan Documents or in any other documents, certificates and statements furnished to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders for
use in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Loan Documents. 
 4.13. Solvency. It is, and after
giving effect to this Agreement and obligations being incurred in connection herewith and therewith will be Solvent. 
 4.14. No
Change. Since December 31, 2006, there has been no development or event that has had or would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 
 4.15. Taxes. Each of the Parent, the Borrower and their Subsidiaries has filed or caused to be filed all federal, state and other material tax returns that are required to be filed and has paid all taxes shown
to be due and payable on said returns or on any assessments made against it or any of its property and all other taxes, fees or other charges imposed on it or any of its property by any Governmental Authority (other than any the amount or validity
of that are currently being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and with respect to which reserves in conformity with GAAP have been provided on the books of the Parent, the Borrower or their Subsidiaries, as the case may be); no tax
Lien has been filed, and, to the knowledge of Parent and the Borrower, no claim is being asserted, with respect to any such tax, fee or other charge. 
 4.16. Environmental Matters. Except as, in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect: 
 (a) the facilities and properties currently or formerly owned, leased or operated by the Parent and any of its Subsidiaries (the “Properties”) do not contain, and have not 

  

 8 

 
previously contained, any Materials of Environmental Concern in amounts or concentrations or under circumstances that constitute or constituted a violation
of, or could give rise to liability under, any Environmental Law; 
 (b) neither the Parent nor any of its Subsidiaries has received or is
aware of any notice of violation, alleged violation, non-compliance, liability or potential liability regarding environmental matters or compliance with Environmental Laws with regard to any of the Properties or the business operated by the Parent
and any of its Subsidiaries (the “Business”), nor does the Parent have knowledge or reason to believe that any such notice will be received or is being threatened; 
 (c) Materials of Environmental Concern have not been transported or disposed of from the Properties in violation of, or in a manner or to a location that
could give rise to liability under, any Environmental Law, nor have any Materials of Environmental Concern been generated, treated, stored or disposed of at, on or under any of the Properties in violation of, or in a manner that could give rise to
liability under, any applicable Environmental Law; 
 (d) no judicial proceeding or governmental or administrative action is pending or, to
the knowledge of the Parent, threatened, under any Environmental Law to which the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries is or will be named as a party, nor are there any consent decrees or other decrees, consent orders, administrative orders or other
orders, or other administrative or judicial requirements outstanding under any Environmental Law; 
 (e) there has been no release or threat
of release of Materials of Environmental Concern at or from the Properties, or arising from or related to the operations of the Parent or any of its Subsidiaries in connection with the Properties or otherwise in connection with the Business, in
violation of or in amounts or in a manner that could give rise to liability under Environmental Laws; 
 (f) the Properties and all
operations at the Properties are in compliance, and have in the last five years been in compliance, with all applicable Environmental Laws, and there is no contamination at, under or about the Properties or violation of any Environmental Law with
respect to the Properties or the Business; and 
 (g) neither the Parent nor any of its Subsidiaries has assumed any liability of any other
Person under Environmental Laws. 
 4.17. Federal Regulations. No part of the proceeds of any Loans will be used for any purpose that
violates the provisions of the Regulations of the Board. If requested by any Lender or the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall furnish to the Administrative Agent and each Lender a statement to the foregoing effect in conformity with the
requirements of FR Form G-3 or FR Form U-1, as applicable, referred to in Regulation U. 
 4.18.
Subsidiaries. Except as disclosed to the Administrative Agent by the Parent in writing prior to the Closing Date, CLH does not have any Subsidiaries other than those listed on Schedule 2 to the Credit Agreement. 
  

 9 

 4.19. ERISA. Neither a Reportable Event nor an “accumulated funding deficiency” (within
the meaning of Section 412 of the Code or Section 302 of ERISA), and, on and after the effectiveness of the Pension Act, no failure by any Plan to satisfy the minimum funding standards (within the meaning of Section 412 of the Code or
Section 302 of ERISA) applicable to such Plan whether or not waived, has occurred during the five-year period prior to the date on which this representation is made or deemed made with respect to any Plan. No termination of a Single Employer
Plan has occurred, and no Lien in favor of the PBGC or a Plan has arisen, during the five-year period prior to the date on which this representation is made and, on and after the effectiveness of the Pension Act, no Plan is, or is expected to be, in
“at risk” status (within the meaning of Title IV of ERISA). The present value of all accrued benefits under each Single Employer Plan (based on those assumptions used to fund such Plans) did not, as of the last annual valuation date prior
to the date on which this representation is made or deemed made, exceed the value of the assets of such Plan allocable to such accrued benefits by a material amount. Neither the Parent nor any Commonly Controlled Entity has had a complete or partial
withdrawal from any Multiemployer Plan that has resulted or could reasonably be expected to result in a material liability under ERISA, and neither the Parent nor any Commonly Controlled Entity would become subject to any material liability under
ERISA if the Parent or any such Commonly Controlled Entity were to withdraw completely from all Multiemployer Plans as of the valuation date most closely preceding the date on which this representation is made or deemed made. No Multiemployer Plan
is in Reorganization, Insolvent or, is or is reasonably expected to be, in endangered or critical status within the meaning of Section 305 of ERISA. 
 SECTION 5. AFFIRMATIVE COVENANTS 
 Each of each Guarantor and each Grantor covenants and agrees
with the Administrative Agent and the Lenders that, from and after the date of this Agreement until the Obligations shall have been paid in full, it shall: 
 5.1. Financial Statements. In the case of Parent and CQP, furnish to the Administrative Agent and each Lender as soon as available, each financial statement required to be filed by it pursuant to the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, provided that no such information shall be required to be furnished to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders if such information has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and is of public
record, and provided further that Parent and/or CQP, as applicable, shall so furnish to the Administrative Agent and each Lender equivalent audited and unaudited financial statements if either is no longer required to file the same
pursuant to such Act, in each case when such statements would otherwise be required to be so filed. All such financial statements shall be complete and correct in all material respects and shall be prepared in reasonable detail and in accordance
with GAAP applied consistently throughout the periods reflected therein and with prior periods (except as approved by such accountants or officer, as the case may be, and disclosed therein). 
 5.2. Certificates; Other Information. Furnish to the Administrative Agent for delivery to each Lender, promptly, such additional financial and
other information as the Administrative Agent on behalf of any Lender may from time to time reasonably request.

corporation on appropriate notice to the Administrative Agent and (ii) take all reasonable action to maintain all rights, privileges and franchises necessary or desirable in the normal conduct of its business, except, in the case of
clause (ii) above, to the extent that failure to do so would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; and (b) comply with all Requirements of Law, except to the extent that failure to comply therewith would not, in the
aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 
 5.4. Notices. Promptly give notice to the Administrative Agent
and each Lender of: 
 (a) the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default; 
 (b) any Lien (other than security interests created hereby or Liens permitted under the Credit Agreement and any Liens securing the Crest Obligations) on

 (d) any (i) default or event of default under any Contractual Obligation of it or its Subsidiaries or (ii) litigation, investigation or
proceeding that may exist at any time between it or any of its Subsidiaries and any Governmental Authority, that in either case, if not cured or if adversely determined, as the case may be, would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect; 
 (e) any litigation or proceeding affecting any Guarantor or its Subsidiaries which would reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect or which relates to any Loan Document; 
 (f) the following events, as soon as possible and in any event within
30 days after it knows or has reason to know thereof where the liability expected to be imposed on the Guarantor and its Subsidiaries as a result of such event exceeds $5,000,000: (i) the occurrence of any Reportable Event with respect to
any Plan, a failure to make any required contribution to a Plan, the creation of any Lien in favor of the PBGC or a Plan or any withdrawal from, or the termination, Reorganization or Insolvency of, any Multiemployer Plan, (ii) on an after the

Entity may request with respect to any Multiemployer Plan; provided, that if the Guarantor or any Commonly Controlled Entity has not requested such documents or notices from the administrator or sponsor of the Guarantor or the Commonly Controlled
Entity(ies) shall as soon as reasonably practicable following written request from the Administrative Agent (which request shall not be made more frequently than once per year) make a request for such documents or notices from such administrator or
sponsor and shall provide copies of such documents and notices as soon as reasonably practicable after receipt thereof; and 
 (h) any
development or event that has had or would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 
 Each notice pursuant to this Section 5.4 shall
be accompanied by a statement of a Responsible Officer setting forth details of the occurrence referred to therein and stating what action the Borrower or the relevant Subsidiary proposes to take with respect thereto. 
 5.5. Delivery of Certificated Securities. If any of the Pledged Stock or any amount payable under or in connection with any of the Collateral
shall be or become evidenced by any Certificated Security, such Certificated Security shall be promptly delivered to the Administrative Agent, duly endorsed in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, to be held as Collateral
pursuant to this Agreement. 
 5.6. Pledged Stock. (a) If any of the Grantors shall become entitled to receive or shall receive

reorganization), option or rights in respect of the Pledged Stock, whether in addition to, in substitution of, as a conversion of, or in exchange for, any shares of the Pledged Stock, or otherwise in respect thereof, it shall accept the same as the
agent of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, hold the same in trust for the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and deliver the same promptly to the Administrative Agent in the exact form received, duly endorsed by it to the Administrative
Agent, if required, together with an undated stock power covering such certificate duly executed in blank by it and with, if the Administrative Agent so requests, signature guaranteed, to be held by the Administrative Agent, subject to the terms
hereof, as additional collateral security for the Obligations and the Crest Obligations. Any sums paid upon or in respect of the Pledged Stock upon the liquidation or dissolution of any Issuer shall be paid over to the Administrative Agent to be
held by it hereunder as additional collateral security for the Obligations and the Crest Obligations, and in case any distribution of capital shall be made on or in respect of the Pledged Stock or any property shall be distributed upon or with
respect to the Pledged Stock pursuant to the recapitalization or reclassification of the capital of any Issuer or pursuant to the reorganization thereof, the property so distributed shall, unless otherwise subject to a perfected security interest in
favor of the Administrative Agent, be delivered to the Administrative Agent to be held by it hereunder as additional collateral security for the Obligations and the Crest Obligations. If any sums of money or property so paid or distributed in
respect of the Pledged 

  

 12 

 
Stock shall be received by it, it shall, until such money or property is paid or delivered to the Administrative Agent, hold such money or property in trust
for the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, segregated from its other funds, as additional collateral security for the Obligations and the Crest Obligations. 
 (b) Without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, no Grantor will (i) vote to enable, or take any other action to permit, any Issuer (other than CQP) of Pledged Stock owned by it to issue any
stock or other equity securities of any nature or to issue any other securities convertible into or granting the right to purchase or exchange for any stock or other equity securities of any nature of such Issuer, in each case, to any other Person,
(ii) sell, assign, transfer, exchange, or otherwise dispose of, or grant any option with respect to, such Pledged Stock or Proceeds thereof except as permitted pursuant to Section 6.1, (iii) create, incur or permit to exist any Lien

restricting the right or ability of it or the Administrative Agent to sell, assign or transfer any of such Pledged Stock or Proceeds thereof. 
 5.7. Maintenance of Property; Insurance. (a) Keep all property useful and necessary in its business in good working order and condition, ordinary wear and tear excepted and (b) maintain with financially sound and reputable
insurance companies insurance on all its property in at least such amounts and against at least such risks (but including in any event public liability, product liability and business interruption) as are usually insured against in the same general
area by companies engaged in the same or a similar business. 
 5.8. Conduct of Business. The Parent and its Subsidiaries shall
continue to be principally engaged in the energy business, including, exploration and production of liquid natural gas, oil and gas transportation (including shipping), refining and other midstream activities, power generation, trading and other
related businesses, and the acquisition, disposition and processing of liquefied natural gas. Each Grantor (other than CLH) will limit itself to the business activities of owning the Collateral owned by it and the activities related thereto.

 5.9. Further Assurances. From time to time execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, such additional instruments,
certificates or documents, and take all such actions, as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request for the purposes of implementing or effectuating the provisions of this Agreement, or of more fully perfecting or renewing the rights of the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders with respect to the Collateral (or with respect to any additions thereto or replacements or proceeds thereof) pursuant hereto or thereto. Upon the exercise by the Administrative Agent or any Lender of any power,
right, privilege or remedy pursuant to this Agreement which requires any consent, approval, recording qualification or authorization of any Governmental Authority, it will execute and deliver, or will cause the execution and delivery of, all
applications, certifications, instruments and other documents and papers that the Administrative Agent or such Lenders may be required to obtain from it for such governmental consent, approval, recording, qualification or authorization.

 SECTION 6. NEGATIVE COVENANTS 
 Each Guarantor and each Grantor hereby agrees that, so long as any Loan or other amount is owing to any Lender or Administrative Agent hereunder:

 6.1. Disposition of Property. No Grantor will Dispose of all or any portion of the Collateral except that such Disposition is
permitted to a Person other than an Affiliate of such Grantor subject to compliance with Section 3.2(a) of the Credit Agreement. CLH will not Dispose of any of the Capital Stock of CQP-GP or permit CQP-GP to Dispose of the general partnership
interest in CQP. 
 6.2. Negative Pledge Clauses. Except pursuant to the Crest Settlement Documents, the Parent will not, and will not

Collateral, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, to secure the Obligations. 
 6.3. Changes in Locations, Name, etc. No Grantor
will, except upon 15 days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent and delivery to the Administrative Agent of all additional executed financing statements and other documents reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent, to
maintain the validity, perfection and priority of the security interests provided for herein: 
 (i) change its jurisdiction of organization
or the location of its chief executive office or sole place of business from that referred to in Section 4.8; or 
 (ii) change its
name, identity or corporate structure to such an extent that any financing statement filed by the Administrative Agent in connection with this Agreement would become misleading.

advisory or similar fees, with any Affiliate unless such transaction is (a) not otherwise expressly prohibited under this Agreement, (b) in the ordinary course of business of the relevant Grantor, and (c) upon fair and reasonable
terms no less favorable to the relevant Grantor than it would obtain in a comparable arm’s length transaction with a Person that is not an Affiliate, other than equity contributions to the Grantors which may in turn be contributed to
Subsidiaries of the Grantors. In addition, the foregoing shall not prohibit Parent and its Subsidiaries from entering into tax sharing arrangements. 
 6.9. No Intermediate Holding Companies. No Grantor will create or permit to be created any new Subsidiaries in the chain of ownership between it and either of CQP-GP or Freeport LNG Development, L.P., or

“Investments”), except (i) Borrower is permitted to make the loan from Borrower to Parent as contemplated by Section 4.13 of the Credit Agreement (which the Borrower shall not forgive) and (ii) each such Grantor is
permitted to make Investments in Cash Equivalents; provided that it may make Investments in its Subsidiaries in amounts equal to any capital contributions made to it for such purpose.

 6.13. Cheniere FLNG, L.P. No Guarantor or Grantor will permit Cheniere FLNG, L.P. to Dispose of its limited partner interest in

 SECTION 7. REMEDIAL
PROVISIONS 
 7.1. Pledged Stock. (a) Unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the Administrative
Agent shall have given notice to the Grantors of the Administrative Agent’s intent to exercise its corresponding rights pursuant to Section 8.1(b), the Grantors shall be permitted to receive all cash dividends paid in respect of the
Pledged Stock, and to exercise all voting and corporate rights with respect to the Pledged Stock; provided, however, that no vote shall be cast or corporate or other organizational right exercised or other action taken which, in the
Administrative Agent’s reasonable judgment, would impair the Collateral or which would be inconsistent with or result in any violation of any provision of the Credit Agreement, this Agreement or any other Loan Document. 
 (b) If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing and the Administrative Agent shall give notice of its intent to exercise such rights to the
Grantors, (i) the Administrative Agent shall have the right to receive any and all cash dividends, payments or other Proceeds paid in respect of the Pledged Stock and make application thereof to the Obligations and the Crest Obligations in the
order set forth in Section 7.3, and (ii) any or all of the Pledged Stock shall be registered in the name of the Administrative Agent or its nominee, and the Administrative Agent or its nominee may thereafter exercise (1) all voting,
corporate and other rights pertaining to such Pledged Stock at any meeting of shareholders or otherwise and (2) any and all rights of conversion, exchange and subscription and any other rights, privileges or options pertaining to such Pledged
Stock as if it were the absolute owner thereof (including, without limitation, the right to exchange at its discretion any and all of the Pledged Stock upon the merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or other fundamental change in
the corporate structure of any Issuer, or upon the exercise by any of the Grantors or the Administrative Agent of any right, privilege or option pertaining to such Pledged Stock, and in connection therewith, the right to deposit and deliver any and
all of the Pledged Stock with any 

  

 16 

 
committee, depositary, transfer agent, registrar or other designated agency upon such terms and conditions as the Administrative Agent may determine), all
without liability except to account for property actually received by it, but the Administrative Agent shall have no duty to the Grantors to exercise any such right, privilege or option and shall not be responsible for any failure to do so or delay
in so doing. 
 (c) Each Grantor hereby authorizes and instructs any Issuer of any Pledged Stock pledged by it hereunder to (i) comply
with any instruction received by it from the Administrative Agent in writing that (1) states that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (2) is otherwise in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, without any other or
further instructions from such Grantor, and such Grantor agrees that the Issuers shall be fully protected in so complying, and (ii) unless otherwise expressly permitted hereby, pay any dividends or other payments with respect to the Pledged
Stock directly to the Administrative Agent. 
 7.2. Proceeds to be Turned Over to Administrative Agent. If an Event of Default shall
occur and be continuing, all Proceeds of the Collateral received by any Grantor consisting of cash, checks and other near-cash items shall be held by it in trust for the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, segregated from its other funds, and
shall, forthwith upon receipt by such Grantor, be turned over to the Administrative Agent in the exact form received by such Grantor (duly endorsed by such Grantor to the Administrative Agent, if required). All Proceeds of the Collateral received by
the Administrative Agent hereunder shall be held by the Administrative Agent in a collateral account maintained under its sole dominion and control. All Proceeds of the Collateral while held by the Administrative Agent in a collateral account (or by
any Grantor in trust for the Administrative Agent and the Lenders) shall continue to be held as collateral security for all the Obligations and the Crest Obligations and shall not constitute payment thereof until applied as provided in
Section 7.3. 
 7.3. Application of Proceeds. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, at any time at the
Administrative Agent’s election, the Administrative Agent may apply all or any part of Proceeds constituting Collateral, whether or not held in any Collateral Account, and any proceeds of the guarantee set forth in Section 2. , in
payment of the Obligations and the Crest Obligations in the following order: 
 First, if the Administrative Agent
shall have received a Crest Remedy Instruction, to pay the amount due as specified in such Crest Remedy Instruction; 
 Second, to pay incurred and unpaid fees and expenses of the Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents; 
 Third, to the Administrative Agent, for application by it towards payment of amounts then due and owing and remaining unpaid in respect of the Obligations, pro rata among the Lenders according to the amounts of the Obligations
then due and owing and remaining unpaid to the Lenders; 
  

 17 

 Fourth, to the Administrative Agent, for application by it towards prepayment of
the Obligations, pro rata among the Lenders according to the amounts of the Obligations then held by the Lenders; and 
 Fifth, any balance of such Proceeds remaining after the Obligations and the Crest Obligations shall have been paid in full and the Commitments shall have terminated shall be paid over to the Borrower or to whomsoever may be lawfully
entitled to receive the same. 
 7.4. Code and Other Remedies. If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the
Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, may exercise, in addition to all other rights and remedies granted to them in this Agreement and in any other instrument or agreement securing, evidencing or relating to the Obligations, all rights and
remedies of a secured party under the New York UCC or any other applicable law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent, without demand of performance or other demand, presentment, protest, advertisement or
notice of any kind (except any notice required by law referred to below) to or upon any Grantor or any other Person (all and each of which demands, defenses, advertisements and notices are hereby waived), may in such circumstances forthwith collect,
receive, appropriate and realize upon the Collateral, or any part thereof, and/or may forthwith sell, lease, assign, give option or options to purchase, or otherwise dispose of and deliver the Collateral or any part thereof (or contract to do any of
the foregoing), in one or more parcels at public or private sale or sales, at any exchange, broker’s board or office of the Administrative Agent or any Lender or elsewhere upon such terms and conditions as it may deem advisable and at such
prices as it may deem best, for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk. The Administrative Agent or any Lender shall have the right upon any such public sale or sales, and, to the extent permitted by law, upon
any such private sale or sales, to purchase the whole or any part of the Collateral so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption in any Grantor, which right or equity is hereby waived and released. Each Grantor further agrees, at the
Administrative Agent’s request, to assemble the Collateral and make it available to the Administrative Agent at places which the Administrative Agent shall reasonably select, whether at such Grantor’s premises or elsewhere. The
Administrative Agent shall apply the net proceeds of any action taken by it pursuant to this Section 7.4, after deducting all reasonable costs and expenses of every kind incurred in connection therewith or incidental to the care or safekeeping
of any of the Collateral or in any way relating to the Collateral or the rights of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereunder, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, to the payment in whole or in
part of the Obligations and the Crest Obligations in accordance with Section 7.3, and only after such application and after the payment by the Administrative Agent of any other amount required by any provision of law, including, without
limitation, Section 9-615(a)(3) of the New York UCC, need the Administrative Agent account for the surplus, if any, to the Grantors. To the extent permitted by applicable law, each Grantor and Guarantor waives all claims, damages and
demands it may acquire against the Administrative Agent or any Lender arising out of the exercise by them of any rights hereunder. If any notice of a proposed sale or other disposition of Collateral shall be required by law, such notice shall be
deemed reasonable and proper if given at least ten days before such sale or other disposition. 
  

 18 

 7.5. Waiver; Deficiency. Each of the Borrower and each Guarantor shall remain liable for any
deficiency if the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Collateral are insufficient to pay the Obligations and the fees and disbursements of any attorneys employed by the Administrative Agent or any Lender to collect such deficiency.

 7.6. Remedies Available to Crest. If Crest shall have delivered a Crest Remedy Instruction to the Administrative Agent and,
pursuant to Section 9.10 of the Credit Agreement, the Lenders shall have advanced on behalf of the Borrower the amount of the payment default with respect to which such Crest Remedy Instruction was given within five (5) Business Days of
receipt of the Crest Remedy Instruction by the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent will pay to Crest forthwith the amount so advanced. If Crest shall have delivered a Crest Remedy Instruction to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders
shall have elected to not advance such amounts on behalf of the Borrower pursuant to Section 9.10 of the Credit Agreement and the amount of the payment default with respect to which the Crest Remedy Instruction was given shall not have been
paid within five (5) Business Days of receipt of the Crest Remedy Instruction by the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent for the benefit of Crest shall have all of the rights and remedies with respect to the Collateral of a secured
party under the New York UCC. Immediately upon receipt of a Crest Remedy Instruction, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders, the Parent and the Grantors of its receipt of such Crest Remedy Instruction and provide each of them with a
copy. 
 SECTION 8. THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT 
 8.1. Administrative Agent’s Appointment as Attorney-in-Fact, etc. (a) Subject to the last sentence of this Section 9.1, each Grantor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Administrative
Agent and any officer or agent thereof, with full power of substitution, as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact with full irrevocable power and authority in its place and stead and in its name, for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this
Agreement, to take any and all appropriate action and to execute any and all documents and instruments which may be necessary or desirable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each
Grantor hereby gives the Administrative Agent the power and right, on behalf of such Grantor, without notice to or assent by such Grantor, to do any or all of the following: 
 (i) in the name of such Grantor or its own name, or otherwise, take possession of and endorse and collect any checks, drafts, notes, acceptances or other
instruments for the payment of moneys due under the Collateral and file any claim or take any other action or proceeding in any court of law or equity or otherwise deemed appropriate by the Administrative Agent for the purpose of collecting any and
all such moneys due under the Collateral whenever payable; 
 (ii) pay or discharge taxes and Liens levied or placed on or threatened against
the Collateral; 
 (iii) execute, in connection with any sale provided for in Section 7.4, any endorsements, assignments or other
instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to the Collateral; and 
  

 19 

 (iv) (1) direct any party liable for any payment under any of the Collateral to make payment of any
and all moneys due or to become due thereunder directly to the Administrative Agent or as the Administrative Agent shall direct; (2) ask or demand for, collect, and receive payment of and receipt for, any and all moneys, claims and other
amounts due or to become due at any time in respect of or arising out of any Collateral; (3) commence and prosecute any suits, actions or proceedings at law or in equity in any court of competent jurisdiction to collect the Collateral or any
portion thereof and to enforce any other right in respect of any Collateral; (4) defend any suit, action or proceeding brought against any Grantor with respect to any Collateral; (5) settle, compromise or adjust any such suit, action or
proceeding and, in connection therewith, give such discharges or releases as the Administrative Agent may deem appropriate; and (6) generally, sell, transfer, pledge and make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal with any of the
Collateral as fully and completely as though the Administrative Agent were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and do, at the Administrative Agent’s option and such Guarantor’s expense, at any time, or from time to time, all acts
and things which the Administrative Agent deems necessary to protect, preserve or realize upon the Collateral and the Administrative Agent’s and the Lenders’ security interests therein and to effect the intent of this Agreement, all as
fully and effectively as the Grantors might do. 
 Anything in this Section 8.1(a) to the contrary notwithstanding, the Administrative
Agent agrees that it will not exercise any rights under the power of attorney provided for in this Section 8.1(a) unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing. 
 (b) If any Grantor fails to perform or comply with any of its agreements contained herein, the Administrative Agent, at its option, but without any
obligation so to do, may perform or comply, or otherwise cause performance or compliance, with such agreement. 
 (c) The expenses of the
Administrative Agent incurred in connection with actions undertaken as provided in this Section 8.1, together with interest thereon at a rate per annum equal to the rate per annum at which interest would then be payable on past due Loans under
the Credit Agreement, from the date of payment by the Administrative Agent to the date reimbursed by the Guarantors, shall be payable by the Guarantors to the Administrative Agent on demand. 
 (d) Each of the Grantors hereby ratifies all that said attorneys shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue hereof. All powers, authorizations and
agencies contained in this Agreement are coupled with an interest and are irrevocable until this Agreement is terminated and the security interests created hereby are released. 
 8.2. Duty of Administrative Agent. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement, the Administrative Agent’s sole
duty with respect to the custody, safekeeping and physical preservation of the Collateral in its possession, under Section 9-207 of the New York UCC or otherwise, shall be to deal with it in the same manner as the Administrative Agent
deals with similar property for its own account. Neither the Administrative Agent, any Lender nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees or agents shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon any of the Collateral
or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any

Collateral upon the request of any Grantor or any other Person or to take any other action whatsoever with regard to the Collateral or any part thereof. The
powers conferred on the Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereunder are solely to protect the Administrative Agent’s and the Lenders’ interests in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon the Administrative Agent or any Lender
to exercise any such powers. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall be accountable only for amounts that they actually receive as a result of the exercise of such powers, and neither they nor any of their officers, directors, employees or
agents shall be responsible to the Grantors or any other Person for any act or failure to act hereunder, except for their own gross negligence or willful misconduct. 
 8.3. Execution of Financing Statements. Pursuant to any applicable law, each Grantor authorizes the Administrative Agent to file or record financing statements and other filing or recording documents or
instruments with respect to the Collateral without the signature of such Guarantors in such form and in such offices as the Administrative Agent reasonably determines appropriate to perfect the security interests of the Administrative Agent under
this Agreement. The Guarantors hereby ratify and authorize the filing by the Administrative Agent of any financing statement with respect to the Collateral made prior to the date hereof. 
 8.4. Authority of Administrative Agent. Each of the Grantors acknowledges that the rights and responsibilities of the Administrative Agent under
this Agreement with respect to any action taken by the Administrative Agent or the exercise or non-exercise by the Administrative Agent of any option, voting right, request, judgment or other right or remedy provided for herein or resulting or
arising out of this Agreement shall, as between the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, be governed by the Credit Agreement and by such other agreements with respect thereto as may exist from time to time among them, but, as between the
Administrative Agent and the Grantors, the Administrative Agent shall be conclusively presumed to be acting as agent for the Administrative Agent and the Lenders with full and valid authority so to act or refrain from acting, and the Grantors shall
not be under any obligation, or entitlement, to make any inquiry respecting such authority. 
 8.5. Fiduciary. Notwithstanding any
provision to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall have no fiduciary relationship with any Person related to this Agreement or the duties to be performed hereunder, and no implied covenants, functions,
responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or otherwise exist against the Administrative Agent. 
 8.6. Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement by or through agents or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to such
duties. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys in-fact selected by it with reasonable care. 
 8.7. Exculpatory Provisions. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees, the Administrative Agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates shall be (i) liable for
any action lawfully taken or omitted to be taken by it or such Person under or in connection with this Agreement (except to the extent that any of the foregoing are found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to
have 

  

 21 

 
resulted from its or such Person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct) or (ii) responsible in any manner to any Person for any recitals,
statements, representations or warranties made by any Person contained in this Agreement or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to or provided for in, or received by the Administrative Agent under or in connection with,
this Agreement or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or for any failure of any party hereto to perform its obligations hereunder or (iii) liable for any special, exemplary,
punitive or consequential damages. The Administrative Agent shall not be under any obligation to any Person to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement, or to
inspect the properties, books or records of any Guarantor or Grantor. 
 8.8. Reliance by Administrative Agent. The Administrative
Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any instrument, writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telecopy, telex or teletype message, statement, order or other document or
conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to the Lenders, Guarantors, Grantors or Crest),
independent accountants and other experts selected by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence
of the Required Lenders and Crest as it deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders and Crest against any and all liability and expense that may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take
any such action. The Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents in accordance with a request of the Required Lenders or after receipt of a
Crest Remedy Instruction from Crest, and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders and all future holders of the Loans. 
 8.9. Notice of Default. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of
Default hereunder unless the Administrative Agent has received notice from a Lender or the Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default”. 

8.10. Conflicts. The terms of this Agreement require the Administrative Agent to act in multiple capacities and all Persons waive any conflict
of interest, now contemplated or arising hereafter, in connection herewith and agrees not to assert against Administrative Agent any claims, causes of action, damages or liabilities of whatever kind or nature relating thereto and agree that in the
event that Administrative Agent receives conflicting instructions or otherwise reasonably believes that a conflict exists that Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under this Agreement
until the conflict has been resolved to its satisfaction, (which resolution may include the receipt of an opinion from a court of competent jurisdiction).

 SECTION 9. MISCELLANEOUS 
 9.1. Amendments in Writing. None of the terms or provisions of this Agreement may be waived, amended, supplemented or otherwise modified except by
a written instrument executed by the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 10.1 of the Credit Agreement. 
 9.2.
Notices. All notices, requests and demands to or upon the Administrative Agent or any other party hereunder shall be effected in the manner provided for in Section 10.2 of the Credit Agreement; provided that any such notice, request or
demand to or upon any Guarantor or Grantor shall be addressed to such Guarantor at its notice address set forth on Schedule 1. 
 9.3.
No Waiver by Course of Conduct; Cumulative Remedies. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall by any act (except by a written instrument pursuant to Section 9.1), delay, indulgence, omission or otherwise be deemed to have
waived any right or remedy hereunder or to have acquiesced in any Default or Event of Default. No failure to exercise, nor any delay in exercising, on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender, any right, power or privilege hereunder shall
operate as a waiver thereof. No single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. A waiver by the Administrative Agent
or any Lender of any right or remedy hereunder on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy which the Administrative Agent or such Lender would otherwise have on any future occasion. The rights and remedies herein
provided are cumulative, may be exercised singly or concurrently and are not exclusive of any other rights or remedies provided by law. 
 9.4. Enforcement Expenses; Indemnification. (a) Each Guarantor agrees to pay, or reimburse the Administrative Agent for, all its costs and expenses incurred in collecting against such Guarantor under the guarantee contained in
Section 2. or otherwise enforcing or preserving any rights under this Agreement, including, without limitation, the fees and disbursements of counsel (including the allocated fees and expenses of in-house counsel) to the Administrative
Agent. 
 (b) Each Grantor agrees to pay, and to save the Administrative Agent and the Lenders harmless from, any and all liabilities with
respect to, or resulting from any delay in paying, any and all stamp, excise, sales or other taxes which may be payable or determined to be payable with respect to any of the Collateral or in connection with any of the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement. 
 (c) Each Guarantor agrees to pay, and to save the Administrative Agent and the Lenders harmless from, any and all
liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever with respect to the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance and administration of this Agreement
to the extent the Borrower would be required to do so pursuant to Section 10.5 of the Credit Agreement. 
  

 23 

 (d) The agreements in this Section shall survive repayment of the Obligations and all other amounts
payable under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents. 
 9.5. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon
the successors and assigns of the Guarantors and the Grantors and shall inure to the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and their successors and assigns; provided that no Guarantor or Grantor may assign, transfer or delegate any of
its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent. 
 9.6. Set-Off. Each of
each Guarantor and each Grantor hereby irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent and each Lender at any time and from time to time while an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, without notice to the Guarantors or the
Grantors, any such notice being expressly waived by them, to set-off and appropriate and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness or claims, in any
currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by the Administrative Agent or such Lender to or for its credit or account or any part thereof in such amounts as the
Administrative Agent or such Lender may elect, against and on account of the obligations and liabilities of the Guarantors to the Administrative Agent or such Lender hereunder and claims of every nature and description of the Administrative Agent or
such Lender against the Guarantors, in any currency, whether arising hereunder or otherwise, as the Administrative Agent or such Lender may elect, whether or not the Administrative Agent or any Lender has made any demand for payment and although
such obligations, liabilities and claims may be contingent or unmatured. The Administrative Agent and each Lender shall notify the Guarantors promptly of any such set-off and the application made by the Administrative Agent or such Lender of the
proceeds thereof, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. The rights of the Administrative Agent and each Lender under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies
(including, without limitation, other rights of set-off) which the Administrative Agent or such Lender may have. 
 9.7. Counterparts.
This Agreement may be executed by one or more of the parties to this Agreement on any number of separate counterparts (including by telecopy), and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument.
Delivery of an executed signature page of this Agreement by facsimile transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof. 
 9.8. Severability. Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability
without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. 
 9.9. Section Headings. The Section headings used in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and are not to affect the construction
hereof or be taken into consideration in the interpretation hereof. 
  

 24 

 9.10. Integration. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents represent the agreement of the
Guarantors, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof, and there are no promises, undertakings, representations or warranties by the Administrative Agent or any Lender relative to subject matter
hereof and thereof not expressly set forth or referred to herein or in the other Loan Documents. 
 9.11. GOVERNING LAW.
THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. 
 9.12.
Submission To Jurisdiction; Waivers. Each Guarantor and each Grantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally: 
 (a) submits for itself
and its property in any legal action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or for recognition and enforcement of any judgment in respect thereof, to the non-exclusive general jurisdiction of the Courts of the State of New York sitting in the
County of New York, the courts of the United States of America for the Southern District of New York, and appellate courts from any thereof; 
 (b) consents that any such action or proceeding may be brought in such courts and waives any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the venue of any such action or proceeding in any such court or that such
action or proceeding was brought in an inconvenient court and agrees not to plead or claim the same; 
 (c) agrees that service of process in
any such action or proceeding may be effected by mailing a copy thereof by registered or certified mail (or any substantially similar form of mail), postage prepaid, to it at its address referred to in Section 9.2 or at such other address of
which the Administrative Agent shall have been notified pursuant thereto; 
 (d) agrees that nothing herein shall affect the right to effect
service of process in any other manner permitted by law or shall limit the right to sue in any other jurisdiction; and 
 (e) waives, to the
maximum extent not prohibited by law, any right it may have to claim or recover in any legal action or proceeding referred to in this Section any special, exemplary, punitive or consequential damages. 
 9.13. Acknowledgments. Each of each Guarantor and each Grantor hereby acknowledges that: 
 (a) it has been advised by counsel in the negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement; 
 (b) neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender has any fiduciary relationship with or duty to any Guarantor or Grantor arising out of or in
connection with this Agreement, and the relationship between the Grantors, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent and Lenders, on the other hand, in connection herewith or therewith is solely that of debtor and creditor; and 
  

 25 

 (c) no joint venture is created hereby or otherwise exists by virtue of the transactions contemplated
hereby among the Lenders or among the Guarantors, the Grantors and the Lenders. 
 9.14. Releases. At such time as the Loans and the
other Obligations then due and payable shall have been paid in full, this Agreement, the security interests created herein (including the security interests created in favor of Crest) and all obligations (other than those expressly stated to survive
such termination) of the Administrative Agent and each Guarantor and Grantor hereunder shall terminate, all without delivery of any instrument or performance of any act by any party, and all rights to the Collateral shall revert to the Grantors. At
the request and sole expense of such Grantor following any such termination, the Administrative Agent shall deliver to such Grantor any Collateral held by the Administrative Agent hereunder, and execute and deliver to such Grantor such documents as
such Guarantor shall reasonably request to evidence such termination. 
 9.15. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH OF EACH GUARANTOR
AND EACH GRANTOR AND, BY ACCEPTANCE OF THE BENEFITS HEREOF, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND EACH LENDER, HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT
AND FOR ANY COUNTERCLAIM THEREIN.
