   RIGHTS AGREEMENT  

        THIS RIGHTS AGREEMENT, dated as of October 14, 2004 (the "Agreement"), is by and between Cheniere
Energy, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), and U.S. Stock Transfer Corp., as Rights Agent (the "Rights
Agent"). 

INTRODUCTION:  

        Effective October 13, 2004 (the "Rights Dividend Declaration Date"), the board of directors of the Company
authorized and declared a distribution of one Right (each, a "Right") for each share of Common Stock (as hereinafter defined) of the Company outstanding
as of the Close of Business (as hereinafter defined) on November 1, 2004 (the "Record Date"), each Right initially representing the right to
purchase one one-thousandth of a share (each one one-thousandth of a share, a "Unit") of Preferred Stock (as hereinafter
defined) upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, and has further authorized and directed the issuance of one Right with respect to each share of Common Stock of the
Company that shall become outstanding between the Record Date and the earliest of the Distribution Date, the Redemption Date and the Final Expiration Date (as such terms are hereinafter defined). 

AGREEMENT:  

        In consideration of the foregoing and the mutual agreements herein set forth, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows: 

        Section
1.    Certain Definitions.    For purposes of this Agreement, the following terms have the meanings indicated: 

        "Acquiring Person" shall mean any Person (as such term is hereinafter defined) who, together with all Affiliates and Associates (as such
terms are hereinafter defined) of such Person, shall be the Beneficial Owner (as such term is hereinafter defined) of 15% or more of the shares of Common Stock of the Company then outstanding, but
shall not include the Company, any Subsidiary (as such term is hereinafter defined) of the Company, any employee benefit plan of the Company or any Subsidiary of
the Company, or any entity holding shares of Common Stock of the Company for or pursuant to the terms of any such plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing: 

          (i)  no
Person shall become an "Acquiring Person" solely as the result of the acquisition of shares of Common Stock by the Company that, by reducing the number of shares
outstanding, increases the proportionate number of shares beneficially owned by such Person to 15% or more of the shares of Common Stock of the Company then outstanding;  provided, however, that if a
Person shall become the Beneficial Owner of 15% or more of the shares of Common Stock of the Company then outstanding as a
result of any such acquisition of shares of Common Stock by the Company and shall, after such acquisition of shares by the Company, become the Beneficial Owner of any additional shares of Common Stock
of the Company (other than as a result of a stock dividend, stock split or similar transaction effected by the Company in which all holders of Common Stock of the Company are treated equally), such
Person shall then become and be deemed to be an "Acquiring Person" hereunder; 

         (ii)  no
Person who, alone or together with all Affiliates and Associates of such Person, was, at the time of the public announcement by the Company of the declaration by its
board of directors on October 14, 2004 of the dividend distribution of the Rights, the Beneficial Owner of 15% or more of the Common Stock of the Company then outstanding shall be deemed to
have become an Acquiring Person unless and until such time as such Person or any Affiliate or Associate of such Person thereafter becomes the Beneficial Owner of any additional Common Stock of the
Company (other than as a result of a stock dividend, stock split or similar transaction 

1

 

effected
by the Company in which all holders of Common Stock of the Company are treated equally), in which case such Peson shall then become and be deemed to be an "Acquiring Person" hereunder; and 

        (iii)  if
the board of directors of the Company determines in good faith that a Person who would otherwise be an "Acquiring Person" became the Beneficial Owner of 15% or more
of the shares of Common Stock then outstanding inadvertently (including, without limitation, because (A) such Person was unaware that it beneficially owned a percentage of Common Stock that
would otherwise cause such Person to be an "Acquiring Person" or (B) such Person was aware of the extent of its Beneficial Ownership of Common Stock but had no actual knowledge of the
consequences of such Beneficial Ownership under this Agreement) and without any intention of changing or influencing control of the Company, then such Person shall not be deemed to be or to have
become an "Acquiring Person" for any purposes of this Agreement unless and until such Person shall have failed to divest itself, as soon as practicable (as determined, in good faith, by the board of
directors of the Company), of Beneficial Ownership of a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock so that such Person would no longer otherwise qualify as an "Acquiring Person". 

        "Adjustment Shares" shall have the meaning set forth in Section 11(a)(ii). 

        "Affiliate" and "Associate" shall have the respective meanings ascribed to such terms in
Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act Regulations (as hereinafter defined) as in effect on the date of this Agreement. 

        A
Person shall be deemed the "Beneficial Owner" of, and shall be deemed to "beneficially
own," any securities: 

          (i)  that
such Person or any of such Person's Affiliates or Associates beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act
(as hereinafter defined) and Rule 13d-3 thereunder (or any comparable or successor law or regulation); or 

         (ii)  that
such Person or any of such Person's Affiliates or Associates, directly or indirectly, has (A) the right to acquire (whether such right is exercisable
immediately, contingently or only after the passage of time) pursuant to any agreement, arrangement or understanding (whether or not in writing, other than customary agreements with and between
underwriters and selling group members with respect to a bona fide public offering of securities), or upon the exercise of conversion rights, exchange rights, rights (other than the Rights), warrants
or options, or otherwise; provided, however, that a Person shall not be deemed the Beneficial Owner of, or to beneficially own, (1) securities
tendered pursuant to a tender or exchange offer made by or on behalf of such Person or any of such Person's Affiliates or Associates until such tendered securities are accepted for purchase or
exchange; (2) securities that such Person or any of such Person's Affiliates or Associates may acquire, does or do acquire or may be deemed to have the right to acquire, pursuant to any merger
or other acquisition agreement between the Company and such Person (or one or more of his Affiliates or Associates) if such agreement has been approved by the board of directors of the Company prior
to such Person's becoming an Acquiring Person; or (3) securities that such Person has a right to acquire upon the exercise of Rights at any time prior to the time that any Person becomes an
Acquiring Person; or (B) the right to vote pursuant to any agreement, arrangement or understanding; provided further, however, that a Person
shall not be deemed the "Beneficial Owner" of, or to "beneficially own," any security under this subparagraph (ii) as a result of an agreement, arrangement or understanding to vote such
security if such agreement, arrangement or understanding: (x) arises solely from a revocable proxy given in response to a public proxy or consent solicitation made pursuant to, and in
accordance with, the applicable provisions of the Exchange Act and the Exchange Act Regulations, and (y) is not reportable by such Person on Schedule 13D under the Exchange Act (or any
comparable or successor report); or 

2

 

        (iii)  that
are beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, by any other Person (or any Affiliate or Associate thereof) with whom such Person (or any of such Person's
Affiliates or Associates) has any agreement, arrangement or understanding (whether or not in writing, other than customary agreements with and between underwriters and selling group members with
respect to a bona fide public offering of securities), for the purpose of acquiring, holding, voting (except to the extent contemplated by the proviso to clause (B) of subparagraph
(ii) above) or disposing of any securities of the Company; provided,
however, that in no case shall any officers or directors of the Company be deemed (A) the Beneficial Owner of any securities beneficially owned by another officer or
director of the Company solely by reason of actions undertaken by such persons in their capacity as officers or directors of the Company or (B) the Beneficial Owners of securities held of
record by the trustee of any employee benefit plan of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company for the benefit of any employee of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company, other than such
officers or directors, by reason of any influence that such officers or directors may have over the voting of the securities held in the plan. 

Notwithstanding
anything in this definition of "Beneficial Owner" and "beneficially own" to the contrary, the phrase "then outstanding," when used with
reference to a Person who is the Beneficial Owner of securities of the Company, shall mean the number of such securities then issued and outstanding together with the number of such securities not

time, on the next succeeding Business Day.

Stock" when used with reference to any Person other than the Company shall mean the capital stock (or other equity interest) with the greatest voting power of such other Person or, if such other
Person is a Subsidiary of another Person, of the Person or Persons that ultimately control such first-mentioned Person.

to the Rights Agent. The Rights Agent shall have no duty to supervise, and shall in no event be liable for, the acts or omissions of any such co-Rights Agent. 

        Section 3.    Issue of Rights Certificates.    

        (a)   Until
the earlier of (i) the Close of Business on the tenth day after the occurrence of a Share Acquisition Date and (ii) the Close of Business on the
tenth Business Day (or such later date as may be determined by action of the Company's board of directors prior to such time as any Person becomes an Acquiring Person and of which the Company will
give the Rights Agent prompt written notice) after the date that a tender or exchange offer by any Person (other than the Company, any Subsidiary of the Company, any employee benefit plan of the
Company or of any Subsidiary of the Company or any entity holding shares of Common Stock for or pursuant to the terms of any such plan) is commenced within the meaning of

benefit plan of the Company or of any Subsidiary of the Company or any entity holding shares of Common Stock for or pursuant to the terms of any such plan) to commence a tender or exchange offer, if,
in either case, upon consummation thereof such Person would be the Beneficial Owner of 15% or more of the shares of Common Stock of the Company then outstanding (the earlier of (i) and
(ii) above being the "Distribution Date"), (x) the Rights will be evidenced (subject to the provisions of Section 3(b)) by the
certificates for shares of Common Stock of the Company registered in the names of the holders thereof (which certificates shall also be deemed to be Rights Certificates) and not by separate Rights
Certificates, and (y) the right to receive Rights Certificates will be transferable only in connection with the transfer of shares of Common Stock of the Company. As soon as practicable after
the occurrence of a Distribution Date, the Company will notify the Rights Agent of the occurrence of the Distribution Date and the Company will prepare and execute, the Rights Agent will countersign,
and the Company will send or cause to be sent (and the Rights Agent will, if requested, send) by first-class, postage-prepaid mail, to each record holder of shares of Common Stock of the Company as of
the Close of Business on the Distribution Date, at the address of such holder shown on the records of the Company, a Rights Certificate, in substantially the form of  Exhibit B (a "Rights Certificate"), evidencing one Right for each share of Common Stock so held.
From and after the occurrence of a Distribution Date, the Rights will be evidenced solely by such Rights Certificates. 

        (b)   The
Company will make available a Summary of Rights to Purchase Preferred Stock, in substantially the form of  Exhibit C (the "Summary of Rights"), to any
holder of shares of Common Stock of the Company upon
request of such holder. Until the Distribution Date (or the Expiration Date), the surrender for transfer of any certificate for shares of Common Stock of the Company outstanding on the Record Date
shall also constitute the transfer of the Rights associated with the shares of Common Stock represented thereby. 

        (c)   Certificates
evidencing shares of Common Stock that become outstanding (whether originally issued or delivered from the Company's treasury) after the Record Date but
prior to the earlier to occur of a Distribution Date and an Expiration Date shall have impressed on, printed on, written on or otherwise affixed to them the following legend (or such other legend as
the Company may deem appropriate that is not inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement): 

This
certificate also evidences and entitles the holder hereof to certain "Rights" as set forth in a Rights Agreement between Cheniere Energy, Inc. and U.S. Stock Transfer Corp., dated as of
October 14, 2004 (the "Rights Agreement"), the terms of which are hereby incorporated herein by reference and a copy of which is on file at the principal executive offices of Cheniere
Energy, Inc. Under certain circumstances, as set forth in the Rights Agreement, such Rights will be evidenced by separate certificates and will no longer be evidenced by this certificate.
Cheniere Energy, Inc. will mail to the holder of this certificate a copy of the Rights 

5

 

Agreement
without charge after receipt of a written request therefor. Under certain circumstances, as set forth in the Rights Agreement, Rights issued to any "Person" who becomes an "Acquiring Person"
(as such terms are defined in the Rights Agreement), whether held by or on behalf of such Person or by any subsequent holder, may become null and void. 

If
the Company purchases or acquires any shares of Common Stock of the Company after the occurrence of a Record Date but prior to the occurrence of a Distribution Date, any Rights associated with such
shares of Common Stock of the Company shall be deemed cancelled and retired so that the Company shall not be entitled to exercise any Rights associated with any shares of Common Stock of the Company
that are no longer outstanding. 

        Section 4.    Form of Rights Certificates.    

        (a)   The
Rights Certificates (and the forms of election to purchase Units of Preferred Stock and of assignment to be printed on the reverse thereof) shall be substantially
the same as Exhibit B and may have such marks of identification or designation and such legends, summaries or endorsements printed thereon as the
Company may deem appropriate and as are not inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement, or as may be required to comply with any applicable law or with any rule or regulation made pursuant
thereto or with any rule or regulation of any stock exchange or transaction reporting system on which the Rights may from time to time be listed or traded, or to conform to usage. Subject to the
provisions of Sections 11 and 22, the Rights Certificates shall entitle the holders thereof to purchase the numbers of Units of Preferred Stock set forth therein at the price per Unit of Preferred
Stock set forth therein, but the number of such Units of Preferred Stock and the Purchase Price shall be subject to adjustment as provided herein. 

        (b)   Any
Rights Certificate issued pursuant to this Agreement that represents Rights beneficially owned by: (i) an Acquiring Person or any Associate or Affiliate of an
Acquiring Person; (ii) a transferee of an Acquiring Person (or of any such Associate or Affiliate) who becomes a transferee after the Acquiring Person becomes such; or (iii) a transferee
of an Acquiring Person (or of any such Associate or Affiliate) who becomes a transferee prior to or concurrently with the Acquiring Person becoming such and receives such Rights pursuant to either
(A) a transfer (whether or not for consideration) from the Acquiring Person to holders of equity interests in such Acquiring Person or to any Person with whom such Acquiring Person has any
continuing agreement, arrangement or understanding regarding the transferred Rights or (B) a transfer that the board of directors of the Company determines to be part of a plan, arrangement or
understanding that has as a primary purpose or effect avoidance of Section 7(e); shall in each case contain (to the extent feasible) the following legend: 

The
Rights represented by this Rights Certificate are or were beneficially owned by a Person who was or became an Acquiring Person or an Affiliate or Associate of an Acquiring Person (as such terms
are defined in the Rights Agreement by and between Cheniere Energy, Inc. and U.S. Stock Transfer Corp., as Rights Agent, dated as of October 14, 2004 (the "Rights Agreement")).
Accordingly, this Rights Certificate and the Rights represented hereby may be or become null and void in the circumstances specified in Section 7(e) of the Rights Agreement. 

        Section 5.    Countersignature and Registration.    

        (a)   The
Rights Certificates shall be executed on behalf of the Company by any officer of the Company, either manually or by facsimile signature, shall have affixed thereto
the Company's seal or a facsimile thereof, and shall be attested by the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Company, either manually or by facsimile signature. The Rights Certificates shall be
countersigned by the Rights Agent and shall not be valid for any purpose unless countersigned. In case any officer of the Company who shall have signed any of the Rights Certificates shall cease to be
such officer of the Company 

6

 

before
countersignature by the Rights Agent and issuance and delivery by the Company, such Rights Certificates, nevertheless, may be countersigned by the Rights Agent and issued and delivered by the
Company with the same force and effect as though the person who signed such Rights Certificates had not ceased to be such officer of the Company. Any Rights Certificate may be signed on behalf of the
Company by any person who, at the actual date of the execution of such Rights Certificate, shall be a proper officer of the Company to sign such Rights Certificate, although at the date of this
Agreement any such person was not such an officer. 

        (b)   Following
the Distribution Date, the Rights Agent will keep or cause to be kept, at its office designated for such purpose, books for registration and transfer of the
Rights Certificates issued under this Agreement. Such books shall show the names and addresses of the respective holders of the Rights Certificates, the number of Rights evidenced on its face by each
of the Rights Certificates and the date of each of the Rights Certificates. 

        Section 6.    Transfer, Split-Up, Combination and Exchange of Rights Certificates; Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Rights
Certificates.    

        (a)   Subject
to the provisions of Sections 4(b), 7(e) and 14, at any time after the Close of Business on a Distribution Date and at or prior to the Close of Business on the
Expiration Date, any Rights Certificate or Rights Certificates may be transferred, split up, combined or exchanged for another Rights Certificate or Rights Certificates evidencing exercisable Rights,
entitling the registered holder to purchase a like number of Units of Preferred Stock (or, following a Triggering Event, other securities, cash or other assets, as the case may be) as the Rights
Certificate or Rights Certificates surrendered then entitle such holder to purchase. Any registered holder desiring to transfer, split up, combine or exchange any Rights Certificate or Rights
Certificates shall make such request in writing delivered to the Rights Agent, and shall surrender the Rights Certificate or Rights Certificates to be transferred, split up, combined or exchanged at
the office of the Rights Agent designated for such purpose. Neither the Rights Agent nor the Company shall be obligated to take any action whatsoever with respect to the transfer of any such
surrendered Rights Certificate until the registered holder shall have completed and signed the certificate contained in the form of assignment on the reverse side of such Rights Certificate and shall
have provided such additional evidence of the identity of the Beneficial Owner (or former Beneficial Owner) or Affiliates or Associates thereof as the Company shall reasonably request. Thereupon the
Rights Agent shall, subject to Sections 4(b), 7(e) and 14, countersign and deliver to the Person entitled thereto a Rights Certificate or Rights Certificates, as the case may be, as so requested. The
Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer, split up, combination or exchange of Rights Certificates. 

        (b)   Upon
receipt by the Company and the Rights Agent of evidence reasonably satisfactory to them of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of a Rights Certificate, and
of indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to them, and, at the Company's request, reimbursement to the Company and the Rights Agent of all reasonable expenses incidental thereto, and upon
surrender to the Rights Agent and cancellation of the Rights Certificate if mutilated, the Company will make and deliver a new Rights Certificate of like tenor to the Rights Agent for delivery to the
registered holder in lieu of and in replacement for the Rights Certificate so lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated. 

        Section 7.    Exercise of Rights; Purchase Price; Expiration Date of Rights.    

        (a)   The
registered holder of any Rights Certificate evidencing exercisable Rights may exercise the Rights evidenced thereby (except as otherwise provided in this Agreement)
in whole or in part at any time after the occurrence of a Distribution Date upon surrender of the Rights Certificate, with the form of election to purchase and the related certification duly executed,
to the Rights Agent at the office of the Rights Agent designated for such purpose, together with payment of the Purchase Price for each Right being exercised (as such amount may be reduced (including,
without limitation, to zero) 

7

 

pursuant
to Section 11(a)(iii)) and an amount equal to any applicable transfer tax required to be paid by the holder of such Rights Certificate in accordance with Section 9, in cash, or
by certified check, wire transfer or bank draft payable to the order of the Company, at or prior to the earliest of (i) the Close of Business on the tenth anniversary hereof (the
"Final Expiration Date"), (ii) the time at which the Rights are redeemed as provided in Section 23 (the
"Redemption Date"), and (iii) the time at which such Rights are exchanged as provided in Section 24 (the earliest of (i), (ii) and
(iii) being the "Expiration Date"). 

        (b)   The
"Purchase Price" for each Unit of Preferred Stock pursuant to the exercise of a Right shall initially be $200, shall
be subject to adjustment from time to time as provided in Sections 11 and 13 and shall be payable in lawful money of the United States of America in accordance with paragraph (c) below. 

        (c)   Upon
receipt of a Rights Certificate evidencing exercisable Rights (with the form of election to purchase duly executed) accompanied by payment as provided in
Section 7(a), the Rights Agent shall, subject to Section 20(k), thereupon promptly (i) (A) requisition from any transfer agent of the Preferred Stock a certificate or certificates
for the number of Units of Preferred Stock to be purchased and the Company hereby irrevocably authorizes its transfer agent to comply with all such requests or (B) if the Company shall have
elected to deposit the total number of Units of Preferred Stock issuable upon exercise of the Rights hereunder with a depositary agent, requisition from the depositary agent a depositary receipt or
depositary receipts representing such number of Units of Preferred Stock as are to be purchased (in which case certificates for the Units of Preferred Stock represented by such receipt or receipts
shall be deposited by the transfer agent with the depositary agent and the Company hereby directs the depositary agent to comply with such requisition); (ii) when appropriate, requisition from
the Company the amount of cash to be paid in lieu of issuance of fractional shares in accordance with Section 14; (iii) after receipt of such certificates or depositary receipts, cause
the same to be delivered to or upon the order of the registered holder of such Rights Certificate, registered in such name or names as may be designated by such holder; and (iv) when
appropriate, after receipt thereof, deliver such cash to or upon the order of the registered holder of such Rights Certificate. If the Company is obligated to issue other securities of the Company,
pay cash and/or distribute other property pursuant to Section 11(a), the Company will make all arrangements necessary so that such other securities, cash and/or other property are available for
distribution by the Rights Agent, if and when appropriate. 

        (d)   If
the registered holder of any Rights Certificate shall exercise less than all the Rights evidenced thereby, a new Rights Certificate evidencing a number of Rights
equivalent to the number of Rights remaining unexercised shall be issued by the Rights Agent to the registered holder of such Rights Certificate or to such registered holder's duly authorized assigns,
subject to Section 14. 

        (e)   Notwithstanding
anything in this Agreement to the contrary, from and after the first occurrence of a Triggering Event, any Rights beneficially owned by (i) an
Acquiring Person or an Associate or Affiliate of an Acquiring Person, (ii) a transferee of an Acquiring Person (or of any such Associate or Affiliate) who becomes a transferee after the
Acquiring Person becomes such, (iii) a transferee of an Acquiring Person (or of any such Associate or Affiliate) who becomes a transferee prior to or concurrently with the Acquiring Person
becoming such and receives such Rights pursuant to either (A) a transfer (whether or not for consideration) from the Acquiring Person to holders of equity interests in such Acquiring Person or
to any Person with whom the Acquiring Person has any continuing agreement, arrangement or understanding regarding the transferred Rights or (B) a transfer that the board of directors of the
Company determines to be part of a plan, arrangement or understanding that has as a primary purpose or effect the avoidance of this Section 7(e) or (iv) any subsequent transferee of any
of the foregoing shall become null and void without any further action, and no holder of such Rights shall have any rights whatsoever with respect to such Rights or any Rights Certificate that
formerly evidenced such Rights, and neither the Company nor the Rights Agent shall have any obligations whatsoever with respect to such Rights or any Rights Certificate, whether 

8

 

under
any provision of this Agreement or otherwise. The Company shall use all requisite commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that the provisions of Section 4(b) and this
Section 7(e) are complied with, but shall have no liability to any holder of Rights Certificates or to any other Person as a result of its making or failing to make any determinations with
respect to an Acquiring Person or any of such Acquiring Person's Affiliates, Associates or transferees or taking or failing to take any actions with respect any Rights or Rights Certificates of any
such Person. 

        (f)    Notwithstanding
anything in this Agreement to the contrary, neither the Rights Agent nor the Company shall be obligated to undertake any action with respect to a
registered holder upon the occurrence of any purported exercise as set forth in this Section 7 unless such registered holder shall have (i) completed and signed the certificate contained
in the form of election to purchase set forth on the reverse side of the Rights Certificate surrendered for such exercise and (ii) provided such additional evidence of the identity of the
Beneficial Owner (or former Beneficial Owner) or Affiliates or Associates thereof as the Company shall reasonably request. 

        Section
8.    Cancellation and Destruction of Rights Certificates.    All Rights Certificates surrendered for the
purpose of exercise, transfer, split up, combination or exchange shall, if surrendered to the Company or to any of its agents, be delivered to the Rights Agent for cancellation or in cancelled form,
or, if surrendered to the Rights Agent, shall be cancelled by it, and no Rights Certificates shall be issued in lieu thereof or in replacement thereof except as expressly permitted by this Agreement.
The Company shall deliver to the Rights Agent for cancellation and retirement, and the Rights Agent shall so cancel and retire, any other Rights Certificate purchased or acquired by the Company
otherwise than upon the exercise thereof. The Rights Agent shall deliver all cancelled Rights Certificates to the Company,
or shall, at the written request of the Company, destroy such cancelled Rights Certificates, and in such case shall deliver a certificate of destruction thereof to the Company. 

        Section 9.    Reservation and Availability of Preferred Stock.    

        (a)   The
Company covenants and agrees that it will use its best efforts to cause to be reserved and kept available, out of and to the extent of its authorized and unissued
Preferred Stock, a number of shares of its Preferred Stock not reserved for another purpose that will be sufficient to permit the exercise in full of all outstanding Rights. Upon the occurrence of any
events resulting in an increase in the aggregate number of shares of Preferred Stock (or other equity securities of the Company) issuable upon exercise of all outstanding Rights above the number then
reserved, the Company shall make appropriate increases in the number of shares so reserved. 

        (b)   If
the Units of Preferred Stock to be issued and delivered upon the exercise of the Rights are at any time listed on a national securities exchange or included for
quotation on any transaction reporting system, the Company shall during the period from the Distribution Date to the Expiration Date use its best efforts to cause all shares reserved for such issuance
to be listed on such exchange or included for quotation on any such transaction reporting system upon official notice of issuance upon such exercise. 

        (c)   The
Company shall use its best efforts to (i) file, as soon as practicable following the earliest date after the first occurrence of a Flip-In Event
in which the consideration to be delivered by the Company upon exercise of the Rights has been determined in accordance with Section 11(a)(iii), or as soon as is required by law following the
Distribution Date, as the case may be, a registration statement under the Securities Act, with respect to the securities purchasable upon exercise of the Rights on an appropriate form,
(ii) cause such registration statement to become effective as soon as reasonably practicable after such filing, and (iii) cause such registration statement to remain effective (with a
prospectus at all times meeting the requirements of the Securities Act) until the earlier of (A) the date as of which the Rights are no longer exercisable for such securities and (B) the
Expiration Date. The Company will also take such action as may be appropriate under, or to ensure compliance with, the securities or "blue sky" laws of the various states in connection with the
exercisability of the Rights. 

9

 

Notwithstanding
any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the Rights shall not be exercisable in any jurisdiction, unless the requisite qualification of the offering made upon exercise of the
Rights in such jurisdiction shall have been obtained, or an exemption therefrom shall be available and until a registration statement has been declared effective. 

        (d)   The
Company covenants and agrees that it will take all such action as may be necessary to ensure that all Units of Preferred Stock (and, following the occurrence of a
Triggering Event, any other securities that may be delivered upon exercise of Rights) shall, at the time of delivery of the certificates for such Units of Preferred Stock (subject to payment of the
Purchase Price), be duly and validly authorized and issued and fully paid and nonassessable. 

        (e)   The
Company further covenants and agrees that it will pay when due and payable any and all federal and state transfer taxes and charges that may be payable in respect of
the issuance or delivery of the Rights Certificates or of any Units of Preferred Stock upon the exercise of Rights. The Company shall not, however, be required to pay any transfer tax that may be
payable in respect of any transfer or delivery of Rights Certificates to a person other than, or the issuance or delivery of certificates or depositary receipts for Units of Preferred Stock in a name
other than that of, the registered holder of the Rights Certificate evidencing Rights surrendered for exercise or to issue or to deliver any certificates or depositary receipts for Units of Preferred
Stock upon the exercise of any Rights until any such tax shall have been paid (any such tax being payable by the holder of such Rights Certificate at the time of surrender) or until it has been
established to the Company's reasonable satisfaction that no such tax is due. 

        Section
10.    Preferred Stock Record Date.    Each person in whose name any certificate for Units of Preferred Stock
(or, following the occurrence of a Triggering Event, other securities) is issued upon the exercise of Rights shall for all purposes be deemed to have become the holder of record of the Units of
Preferred Stock (or, following the occurrence of a Triggering Event, other securities) represented thereby at the Close of Business on, and such certificate shall be dated, the date upon which the
Rights Certificate evidencing such Rights was duly surrendered and payment of the Purchase Price (and any applicable transfer taxes) was made; provided,  however, that if the date of such surrender and payment is a date upon which the Preferred Stock (or, following the occurrence of a Triggering Event,
other securities) transfer books of the Company are closed, such person shall be deemed to have become the record holder of such shares at the Close of Business on, and such certificate shall be
dated, the next succeeding Business Day on which such transfer books are open; provided further,  however, that if delivery of Units of Preferred Stock (or
such other securities) is delayed pursuant to Section 9(c), such Persons shall be
deemed to have become the record holders of such Units of Preferred Stock (or such other securities) only when such Units first become deliverable. Prior to the exercise of the Rights evidenced
thereby, the holder of a Rights Certificate shall not be entitled to any rights of a stockholder of the Company with respect to securities for which the Rights shall be exercisable, including, without
limitation, the right to vote, to receive dividends or other distributions or to exercise preemptive rights (if any), and shall not be entitled to receive any notice of any proceedings of the Company,
except as expressly provided in this Agreement. 

        Section
11.    Adjustment of Purchase Price, Number of Shares or Number of Rights.    The Purchase Price, the number
and kinds of securities covered by each Right and the number of Rights outstanding are subject to adjustment from time to time as provided in this Section 11. 

        (a)   (i)    In
the event the Company shall at any time after the date of this Agreement (A) declare a dividend on the Preferred Stock payable in shares of
Preferred Stock, (B) subdivide the outstanding shares of Preferred Stock, (C) combine the outstanding Preferred Stock into a smaller number of shares Preferred Stock, or (D) issue
any shares of its capital stock in a reclassification of the Preferred Stock (including, without limitation, any such reclassification in connection with a consolidation or merger in which the Company
is the continuing or surviving corporation), except as otherwise provided 

10

 

in
this Section 11(a), the Purchase Price in effect at the time of the record date for such dividend or of the effective date of such subdivision, combination or reclassification, and the
number and kind of shares of capital stock for which the Rights shall be exercisable, shall be proportionately adjusted so that the holder of any Rights exercised after such time shall be entitled to
receive, upon payment of the Purchase Price then in effect, the aggregate number and kind of shares of capital stock that, if such Rights had been exercised immediately prior to such date and at a
time when the applicable transfer books were open, such holder would have owned upon such exercise and been entitled to receive by virtue of such dividend, subdivision, combination or
reclassification; provided, however, that in no event shall the consideration to be paid upon the
exercise of one Right be less than the aggregate par value of the shares of capital stock issuable upon exercise of one Right. If an event occurs that would require an adjustment under both this
Section 11(a)(i) and Section 11(a)(ii), the adjustment provided for in this Section 11(a)(i) shall be in addition, and shall be made prior, to any adjustment
required pursuant to Section 11(a)(ii). 

         (ii)  Subject
to Section 24, if: 

        (A)  any
Person shall become an Acquiring Person, unless the event causing the Person to become an Acquiring Person is a transaction to which the provisions of
Section 13(a) apply; or 

        (B)  any
Acquiring Person or any Associate or Affiliate of any Acquiring Person, at any time after the date of this Agreement, directly or indirectly, shall (1) merge
into the Company or otherwise combine with the Company and the Company shall be the continuing or surviving corporation of such merger or combination and shares of Common Stock of the Company shall
remain outstanding and unchanged, (2) in one transaction or a series of transactions, transfer any assets to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in exchange (in whole or in part) for shares
of Common Stock of the Company, for other equity securities of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or for securities exercisable for or convertible into shares of equity securities of the Company
or any of its Subsidiaries (whether shares of Common Stock of the Company or otherwise) or otherwise obtain from the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, with or without consideration, any additional
shares of such equity securities or securities exercisable for or convertible into such equity securities (other than pursuant to a pro rata distribution to all holders of shares of Common Stock of
the Company), (3) sell, purchase, lease, exchange, mortgage, pledge, transfer or otherwise acquire or dispose of, in one transaction or a series of transactions, to, from or with the Company or
any of its Subsidiaries or any employee benefit plan maintained by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any trustee or fiduciary with respect to such plan acting in such capacity, assets
(including, without limitation, securities) on terms and conditions less favorable to the Company or such Subsidiary or plan than those that could have been obtained in arm's-length negotiations with
an unaffiliated third party, other than pursuant to a transaction set forth in Section 13(a), (4) sell, purchase, lease, exchange, mortgage, pledge, transfer or otherwise acquire or
dispose of, in one transaction or a series of transactions, to, from or with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any employee benefit plan maintained by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or
any trustee or fiduciary with respect to such plan acting in such capacity (other than transactions, if any, consistent with those engaged in, as of the date hereof, by the Company and such Acquiring
Person or such Associate or Affiliate), assets (including, without limitation, securities or intangible assets) having an aggregate fair market value of more than $10,000,000, other than pursuant to a
transaction set forth in Section 13(a), (5) receive, or any designee, agent or representative of such Acquiring Person or any Affiliate or Associate of such Acquiring Person shall
receive, any compensation from the Company or any of its Subsidiaries other than compensation for full-time employment as a regular employee at rates in accordance with the Company's (or
its Subsidiaries') past practices, or (6) receive the benefit, directly or indirectly (except proportionately as a holder of shares of Common Stock 

11

 

of
the Company or as required by law or governmental regulation), of any loans, advances, guarantees, pledges or other financial assistance or any tax credits or other tax advantages provided by the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any employee benefit plan maintained by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any trustee or fiduciary with respect to such plan acting in such capacity; or 

        (C)  during
such time as there is an Acquiring Person, there shall be any reclassification of securities (including, without limitation, any reverse stock split), or
recapitalization of the Company, or any merger or consolidation of the Company with any of its Subsidiaries or any other transaction or series of transactions involving the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries, other than a transaction or transactions to which the provisions of Section 13(a) apply (whether or not with or into or otherwise involving an Acquiring Person), that has the
effect, directly or indirectly, of increasing the number of outstanding shares of any class of equity securities of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries that are directly or indirectly beneficially
owned by any Acquiring Person or any Person or any Associate or Affiliate of any Acquiring Person by more than one percent of the outstanding shares of such class of equity securities of the Company; 

then,
following the occurrence of an event described in Section 11(a)(ii)(A), (B) or (C) (a "Flip-In Event"), each
holder of a Right, except as otherwise provided in Section 7(e), shall thereafter have the right to receive for each Right, upon exercise thereof in accordance with the terms of this Agreement
and payment of the then-current Purchase Price, in lieu of the number of Units of Preferred Stock for which a Right was exercisable immediately prior to the first occurrence of a
Flip-In Event, such number of Units of Preferred Stock as shall equal the result obtained by (x) multiplying the then-current Purchase Price by the then number of Units
of Preferred Stock for which a Right was exercisable (or would have been exercisable if the Distribution Date had occurred) immediately prior to the first occurrence of a Triggering Event, and
dividing that product by (y) 50% of the Current Per Share Market Price for shares of Common Stock on the date of occurrence of the Triggering Event (such number of Units of Preferred Stock
being hereinafter referred to as the "Adjustment Shares"). Upon the occurrence of a Flip-Over Event, any Rights that shall not have been
previously exercised pursuant to this Section 11(a)(ii) shall thereafter be exercisable only pursuant to Section 13 and not pursuant to this Section 11(a)(ii). 

        (iii)  In
the event that the number of shares of Preferred Stock that are authorized by the Company's certificate of incorporation but not outstanding or reserved for
issuance for purposes other than upon exercise of the Rights are not sufficient to permit the exercise in full of the Rights, or if any necessary regulatory approval for such issuance has not been
obtained by the Company, the Company shall, in lieu of issuing Units of Preferred Stock in accordance with Section 11(a)(ii) hereof: (A) determine the excess of (1) the
value of the Units of Preferred Stock issuable upon the exercise of a Right (the "Current Value") over (2) the Purchase Price (such excess being
referred to as the "Spread") and (B) with respect to each Right, make adequate provision to substitute for such Units of Preferred Stock, upon
exercise of the Rights, (1) cash, (2) a reduction in the Purchase Price, (3) other equity securities of the Company (including, without limitation, Common Stock of the Company or
shares or units of shares of any series of preferred stock that the board of directors of the Company shall have conclusively deemed to have the same value as the Units of Preferred Stock (such shares
or units of preferred stock are herein called "Preferred Stock Equivalents")), except to the extent that the Company has not obtained any necessary
regulatory approval for such issuance, (4) debt securities of the Company, except to the extent that the Company has not obtained any necessary regulatory approval for such issuance,
(5) other assets, or (6) any combination of the foregoing, having an aggregate value equal to the Current Value, as determined by the board of directors of the Company based upon the
advice of a nationally recognized investment banking firm selected by the board of directors of the Company 

12

 

(which
determination shall be described in a statement filed with the Rights Agent and shall be conclusive and binding on the Rights Agent, the holders of the Rights and all other Persons);  provided,
however, if the Company shall not have made adequate provision to deliver value pursuant to
clause (B) above within thirty days following the later of (x) occurrence of a Flip-In Event, and (y) the date on which the Company's right of redemption pursuant to
Section 23(a) expires (the later of (x) and (y) being referred to herein as the "Flip-In Trigger Date"), then the
Company shall be obligated to deliver, upon the surrender for exercise of a Right and without requiring payment of the Purchase Price, Units of Preferred Stock (to the extent available), except to the
extent that the Company has not obtained any necessary regulatory approval for such issuance, and then, if necessary, cash, having an aggregate value equal to the Spread. 

        (b)   If
the Company shall fix a record date for the issuance of rights, options or warrants to all holders of Preferred Stock entitling them (for a period expiring within
forty-five calendar days after such record date) to subscribe for or purchase Preferred Stock (or shares having the same rights, privileges and preferences as the Preferred Stock
("Equivalent Preferred Stock")) or securities convertible into Preferred Stock or Equivalent Preferred Stock at a price per Unit of Preferred Stock or
Equivalent Preferred Stock (or having a conversion price per Unit, if a security convertible into Units of Preferred Stock or Equivalent Preferred Stock) less than the then Current Per Share Market
Price (as determined pursuant to Section 11(d)) of a Unit of Preferred Stock on such record date, the Purchase Price to be in effect after such record date shall be determined by multiplying
the Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to such record date by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the sum of the number of Units of Preferred Stock outstanding on such record date plus
the number of Units of Preferred Stock that the aggregate offering price of the total number of Units of Preferred Stock and/or Equivalent Preferred Stock so to be offered (and/or the aggregate
initial conversion price of the convertible securities so to be offered) would purchase at such Current Per Share Market Price and the denominator of which shall be the sum of the number of Units of
Preferred Stock outstanding on such record date plus the number of additional Units of Preferred Stock and/or Equivalent Preferred Stock to be offered for subscription or purchase (or into which the
convertible securities so to be offered are initially convertible). If such subscription price may be paid in a consideration part or all of which shall be in a form other than cash, the value of such
consideration shall be as determined in good faith by the board of directors of the Company, whose determination shall be described in a statement filed with the Rights Agent and shall be conclusive
and binding on the Rights Agent and the holders of the Rights. Units of Preferred Stock owned by or held for the account of the Company or its Subsidiaries shall not be deemed outstanding for the
purpose of any such computation. Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever such a record date is fixed; and if such rights, options or warrants are not so issued, the Purchase Price shall be
adjusted to be the Purchase Price that would then be in effect if such record date had not been fixed. 

        (c)   If
the Company shall fix a record date for a distribution to all holders of Units of Preferred Stock (including, without limitation, any such distribution made in
connection with a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the continuing or surviving corporation) of evidences of indebtedness, cash (other than a regular quarterly cash dividend), assets
(other than a dividend payable in Units of Preferred Stock but including, without limitation, any dividend payable in equity securities other than Preferred Stock) or subscription rights or warrants
(excluding those referred to in Section 11(d)), the Purchase Price to be in effect after such record date shall be determined by multiplying the Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to
such record date by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the then Current Per Share Market Price (as determined pursuant to Section 11(d)) of the Preferred Stock on such record date,
less the fair market value (as determined in good faith by the board of directors of the Company, whose determination shall be described in a statement filed with the Rights Agent and shall be
conclusive and binding on the Rights Agent and the holders of the Rights) of the cash, assets or evidences of indebtedness to be distributed or of such subscription rights or warrants distributable in
respect of a share of Preferred Stock, and the denominator of which shall be such 

13

 

Current
Per Share Market Price of a share of Preferred Stock. Such adjustments shall be made successively whenever such a record date is fixed; and in the event that such distribution is not so made,
the Purchase Price shall again be adjusted to be the Purchase Price that would then be in effect if such record date had not been fixed. 

        (d)   (i)    For
the purpose of any computation hereunder, the "Current Per Share Market Price" of any security on
any date shall be deemed to be the average of the daily Closing Prices (as such term is hereinafter defined) per share of such security for the thirty consecutive Trading Days (as such term is
hereinafter defined) ending on and including the Trading Day immediately prior to such date; provided,  however, that in the event that the Current Per
Share Market Price of the security is determined during a period following the announcement by the
issuer of such security of (A) a dividend or distribution on such security payable in shares of such security or securities convertible into such shares, or (B) any subdivision,
combination or reclassification of such security and prior to the expiration of thirty Trading Days after and not including the ex-dividend date for such dividend or distribution, or the
record date for such subdivision, combination or reclassification, then, and in each such case, the Current Per Share Market Price shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect the current market price
per share equivalent of such security. The term "Closing Price" of a security for any day shall mean the last sales price, regular way, on such day or,
in case no such sale takes place on such day, the average of the closing bid and asked prices, regular way, on such day, in either case as reported in the principal transaction reporting system with
respect to securities listed or admitted to trading on the American Stock Exchange, or, if such security is not listed or admitted to trading on the American Stock Exchange, on the principal national
securities exchange on which such security is listed or admitted to trading, or, if such security is not listed or admitted to trading on any national securities exchange but sales price information
is reported for such security, as reported by NASDAQ or such other self-regulatory organization or registered securities information processor (as such terms are used under the Exchange
Act) that then reports information concerning such security, or, if sales price information is not so reported, the average of the high bid and low asked prices in the
over-the-counter market on such day, as reported by NASDAQ or such other entity, or, if on such day such security is not quoted by any such entity, the average of the closing
bid and asked prices as furnished by a professional market maker making a market in such security selected by the board of directors of the Company, or, if on such day no market maker is making a
market in such security, the fair value of such security on such day as determined in good faith by the board of directors of the Company. The term "Trading
Day" with respect to a security shall mean a day on which the principal national securities exchange on which such security is listed or admitted to trading is open for the
transaction of business, or, if such security is not listed or admitted to trading on any national securities exchange but is quoted by NASDAQ, a day on which NASDAQ reports trades, or, if such
security is not so quoted, a Business Day. 

         (ii)  For
the purpose of any computation hereunder, the Current Per Share Market Price of the Preferred Stock shall be determined in accordance with the method set forth in
Section 11(d)(i). If the Current Per Share Market Price of the Preferred Stock cannot be determined in the manner provided above or if the Preferred Stock is not publicly held or listed or
traded in a manner described in Section 11(d)(i) but the Common Stock is publicly held or so listed or traded, the Current Per Share Market Price of the Preferred Stock shall be
conclusively deemed to be an amount equal to the product of 1,000 (as such amount may be appropriately adjusted for such events as stock splits, stock dividends and recapitalizations with respect to
shares of Common Stock of the Company occurring after the date of this Agreement) multiplied by the Current Per Share Market Price of Common Stock of the Company. If no shares of the Common Stock of
the Company or the Preferred Stock are publicly held or so listed or traded, the Current Per Share Market Price of the Preferred Stock shall be conclusively deemed to be an amount equal to the fair
value per share as determined in good faith by the board of directors of the Company, whose determination shall be described in a statement filed with the Rights Agent and shall be conclusive and
binding on the Rights Agent, the holders of the Rights and all other 

14

 

Persons.
For all purposes of this Agreement, the Current Per Share Market Price of a Unit of Preferred Stock shall be equal to the Current Per Share Market Price of one share of Preferred Stock
divided by 1,000. 

        (e)   No
adjustment in the Purchase Price shall be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least one percent of the Purchase Price;  provided, however, that any adjustments that by reason of this Section 11(e) are not required to
be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. All calculations under this Section 11 shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest one
one-hundred-thousandth (1/100,000) of a share of Preferred Stock or one one-hundredth (1/100) of any other share or security as the case may be. Notwithstanding the first
sentence of this Section 11(e), any adjustment required by this Section 11 shall be made no later than the earlier of (i) three years from the date of the transaction that
requires such adjustment or (ii) the Expiration Date. 

        (f)    If
as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to Section 11(a)(ii), the holder of any Rights thereafter exercised shall become entitled to receive any shares of
capital stock of the Company other than Units of Preferred Stock, thereafter the number of such other shares so receivable upon exercise of any Rights and the Purchase Price thereof shall be subject
to adjustment from time to time in a manner and on terms as nearly equivalent as practicable to the provisions with respect to the Preferred Stock contained in Sections 11(a), (b), (c), (d), (e), (g),
(h), (i), (j), (k), (l), (m) and (p), and the provisions of Sections 7, 9, 10, 13 and 14 with respect to the Preferred Stock shall apply on like terms to any such other shares. 

        (g)   All
Rights originally issued by the Company subsequent to any adjustment made to the Purchase Price shall evidence the right to purchase, at the adjusted Purchase Price,
the number of Units of Preferred Stock purchasable from time to time upon exercise of the Rights, all subject to further adjustment as provided in this Agreement. 

        (h)   Unless
the Company shall have exercised its election under Section 11(i), upon each adjustment of the Purchase Price as a result of the calculations made in
Sections 11(b) and (c), each Right outstanding immediately prior to the making of such adjustment shall thereafter evidence the right to purchase, at the adjusted Purchase Price, that number of Units
of Preferred Stock (calculated to the nearest one-millionth of a share of Preferred Stock) obtained by dividing (i) the product obtained by multiplying (x) the number of
Units of Preferred Stock covered by a Right immediately prior to this adjustment by (y) the Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to such adjustment of the Purchase Price, by
(ii) the Purchase Price in effect immediately after such adjustment of the Purchase Price. 

        (i)    The
Company may elect on or after the date of any adjustment of the Purchase Price to adjust the number of Rights, in substitution for any adjustment in the number of
Units of Preferred Stock purchasable upon the exercise of a Right. Each of the Rights outstanding after such adjustment of the number of Rights shall be exercisable for the number of Units of
Preferred Stock for which a Right was exercisable immediately prior to such adjustment. Each Right held of record prior to such adjustment of the number of Rights shall become that number of Rights
(calculated to the nearest one-thousandth) obtained by dividing the Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to adjustment of the Purchase Price by the Purchase Price in effect
immediately after adjustment of the Purchase Price. The Company shall make a public announcement of its election to adjust the number of Rights, indicating the record date for the adjustment, and, if
known at the time, the amount of the adjustment to be made. This record date may be the date on which the Purchase Price is adjusted or any day thereafter, but, if the Rights Certificates have been
issued, shall be at least ten days later than the date of the public announcement. If Rights Certificates have been issued, upon each adjustment of the number of Rights pursuant to this
Section 11(i), the Company shall, as promptly as practicable, cause to be distributed to holders of record of Rights Certificates on such record date Rights Certificates 

15

 

evidencing,
subject to Section 14, the additional Rights to which such holders shall be entitled as a result of such adjustment, or, at the option of the Company, shall cause to be distributed
to such holders of record in substitution and replacement for the Rights Certificates held by such holders prior to the date of adjustment, and upon surrender thereof, if required by the Company, new
Rights Certificates evidencing all the Rights to which such holders shall be entitled after such adjustment. Rights Certificates to be so distributed shall be issued, executed and countersigned in the
manner provided for herein and shall be registered in the names of the holders of record of Rights Certificates on the record date specified in the public announcement. 

        (j)    Irrespective
of any adjustment or change in the Purchase Price or the number of Units of Preferred Stock issuable upon the exercise of the Rights, the Rights
Certificates theretofore and thereafter issued may continue to express the Purchase Price per Unit and the number of Units of Preferred Stock that were expressed in the initial Rights Certificates
issued hereunder. 

        (k)   Before
taking any action that would cause an adjustment that would reduce the Purchase Price below the then par value of the number of Units of Preferred Stock issuable
upon exercise of the Rights, the Company shall take any corporate action that may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and
nonassessable number of Units of Preferred Stock at such adjusted Purchase Price. 

        (l)    In
any case in which this Section 11 shall require that an adjustment in the Purchase Price be made effective as of a record date for a specified event, the
Company may elect to defer until the occurrence of such event the issuing to the holder of any Rights exercised after such record date of that number of Units of Preferred Stock and other capital
stock or securities of the Company, if any, issuable upon such exercise over and above the Units of Preferred Stock and other capital stock or securities of the Company, if any, issuable upon such
exercise on the basis of the Purchase Price in effect prior to such adjustment; provided, however, that
the Company shall deliver to such holder a due bill or other appropriate instrument evidencing such holder's right to receive such additional shares (fractional or otherwise) upon the occurrence of
the event requiring such adjustment. 

        (m)  Anything
in this Section 11 to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company shall be entitled (but not required) to make such reductions in the Purchase Price, in
addition to those adjustments expressly required by this Section 11, as and to the extent that it in its sole discretion shall determine to be advisable in order that any
(i) consolidation or subdivision of the Preferred Stock, (ii) issuance wholly for cash of any Unit of Preferred Stock at less than the Current Per Share Market Price,
(iii) issuance wholly for cash of Preferred Stock or securities that by their terms are convertible into or exchangeable for Preferred Stock, (iv) dividends on Preferred Stock payable in
Preferred Stock, or (v) issuance of rights, options or warrants referred to in this Section 11, hereafter made by the Company to holders of Units of its Preferred Stock shall not be
taxable to such stockholders. 

        (n)   The
Company shall not, at any time after the Distribution Date, (i) consolidate with any other Person (other than a Subsidiary of the Company in a transaction
that complies with Section 11(o)), (ii) merge with or into any other Person (other than a Subsidiary of the Company in a transaction that complies with Section 11(o)), or
(iii) sell or transfer (or permit any Subsidiary to sell or transfer), in one transaction, or a series of transactions, assets or earning power aggregating more than 50% of the assets or
earning power of the Company and its Subsidiaries (taken as a whole) to any other Person or Persons (other than the Company and/or any of its Subsidiaries in one or more transactions each of which
complies with Section 11(o)), if (x) at the time of or immediately after such consolidation, merger or sale there are any rights, warrants or other instruments or securities outstanding
or agreements in effect that would substantially diminish or otherwise eliminate the benefits intended to be afforded by the Rights or (y) prior to, simultaneously with or immediately after
such consolidation, merger or sale, the Person that constitutes, or would constitute, the Principal Party (as defined in Section 13(b)) shall have distributed or otherwise transferred to its
stockholders or other persons 

16

 

holding
an equity interest in such Person, Rights previously owned by such Person or any of its Affiliates and Associates; provided,  however, this Section 11
(n) shall not affect the ability of any Subsidiary of the Company to consolidate with, merge with or into, or sell or
transfer assets or earning power to, any other Subsidiary of the Company, or (z) the form or nature of organization of the Principal Party would preclude or limit the exercisability of the
Rights. 

        (o)   After
the Distribution Date, the Company shall not, except as permitted by Section 23 or Section 26, take (or permit any of its Subsidiaries to take) any
action if at the time such action is taken it is reasonably foreseeable that such action will diminish substantially or otherwise eliminate the benefits intended to be afforded by the Rights. 

        (p)   If,
at any time after the date of this Agreement and prior to the Distribution Date, the Company shall (i) declare or pay any dividend on outstanding shares of
Common Stock of the Company payable in shares of Common Stock of the Company or (ii) effect a subdivision, combination or consolidation of the Common Stock of the Company (by reclassification
or otherwise than by payment of dividends in shares of Common Stock of the Company) into a greater or lesser number of shares of Common Stock of the Company, then in any such case the number of Units
of Preferred Stock purchasable after such event upon proper exercise of each Right shall be determined by multiplying the number of Units of Preferred Stock so purchasable immediately prior to such
event by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock of the Company outstanding immediately before such event and the denominator of which shall be the number of
shares of Common Stock of the Company outstanding immediately after such event. The adjustments provided for in this Section 11(p) shall be made successively whenever such a dividend is
declared or paid or such a subdivision, combination or consolidation is effected. 

        Section
12.    Certificate of Adjusted Purchase Price or Number of Shares.    Whenever an adjustment is made as
provided in Sections 11 and 13, the Company shall promptly (a) prepare a certificate setting forth such adjustment, and a brief statement of the facts accounting for such adjustment,
(b) file with the Rights Agent and with each transfer agent for the shares of Common Stock of the Company or Units of Preferred Stock a copy of such certificate and (c) mail a brief
summary thereof to each holder of a
Rights Certificate in accordance with Section 25 hereof (if so required under Section 25 hereof). Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, the failure by the Company to make such
certification or give such notice shall not affect the validity of or the force or effect of the requirement for such adjustment. The Rights Agent shall be fully protected in relying on any such
certificate and on any adjustment contained therein and shall not be deemed to have knowledge of such adjustment unless and until it shall have received such certificate. 

        Section 13.    Consolidation, Merger or Sale or Transfer of Assets or Earning Power.    

        (a)   Except
as provided in Section 13(b), in the event that, following a Share Acquisition Date, directly or indirectly, (x) the Company shall consolidate with,
or merge with and into, any other Person (other than a Subsidiary of the Company in a transaction that complies with Section 11(o)), and the Company shall not be the continuing or surviving
corporation of such consolidation or merger, (y) any Person (other than a Subsidiary of the Company in a transaction that complies with Section 11(o)) shall consolidate with the Company,
or merge with and into the Company and the Company shall be the continuing or surviving corporation of such consolidation or merger and, in connection with such consolidation or merger, all or part of
the shares of Common Stock of the Company shall be changed into or exchanged for stock or other securities of any other Person or cash or any other property, or (z) the Company shall sell or
otherwise transfer (or one or more of its Subsidiaries shall sell or otherwise transfer) to any Person or Persons (other than a Subsidiary of the Company in a transaction that complies with
Section 11(o)), in one or more transactions, directly or indirectly, assets or earning power aggregating 50% or more of the assets or earning power of the Company and its Subsidiaries (taken as
a whole), (any such event being a "Flip-Over Event"), then, and in each such case, proper 

17

 

provision
shall be made so that: (i) each holder of a Right, except as provided in Section 7(e), shall thereafter have the right to receive, upon the exercise thereof at the then current
Purchase Price, such number of validly authorized and issued, fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock of the Principal Party, which shares shall not be subject to any liens, encumbrances,
rights of first refusal, transfer restrictions or other adverse claims, as shall be equal to the result obtained by (1) multiplying the then current Purchase Price by the number of Units of
Preferred Stock for which a Right is exercisable immediately prior to the first occurrence of a Flip-Over Event (or, if a Flip-In Event has occurred prior to the first
occurrence of a Flip-Over Event, multiplying the number of such Units of Preferred Stock for which a Right would be exercisable hereunder but for the occurrence of such Flip-In
Event by the Purchase Price that would be in effect hereunder but for such first occurrence) and (2) dividing that product (which, following the occurrence of a Flip-Over Event,
shall be the "Purchase Price" for all purposes of this Agreement) by 50% of the Current Per Share Market Price of the shares of Common Stock of such
Principal Party on the date of consummation of such Flip-Over Event; (ii) such Principal Party shall thereafter be liable for, and shall assume, by virtue of such
Flip-Over Event, all the obligations and duties of the Company pursuant to this Agreement; (iii) the term "Company" shall, for all purposes of this Agreement, thereafter be deemed
to refer to such Principal Party, it being specifically intended that the provisions of Section 11 shall apply only to such Principal Party following the first occurrence of a
Flip-Over Event; (iv) such Principal Party shall take such steps (including, but not limited to, the reservation of a sufficient number of shares of its Common Stock) in connection
with the consummation of any such transaction as may be necessary to ensure that the provisions of this Agreement shall thereafter be applicable to its shares of Common Stock thereafter deliverable
upon the exercise of the Rights; and (v) the provisions of Section 11(a)(ii) shall be of no further effect following the first occurrence of any Flip-Over Event. 

        (b)   "Principal Party" shall mean: 

          (i)  in
the case of any transaction described in clause (x) or (y) of the first sentence of Section 13(a), (A) the Person that is the issuer of
any securities into which shares of Common Stock of the Company are converted in such merger or consolidation, or, if there is more than one such issuer, the issuer
whose outstanding shares of Common Stock have the greatest aggregate Current Per Share Market Price and (B) if no securities are so issued, the Person that is the other party to such merger or
consolidation, or, if there is more than one such Person, the Person whose outstanding shares of Common Stock have the greatest aggregate Current Per Share Market Price; and 

         (ii)  in
the case of any transaction described in clause (z) of the first sentence of Section 13(a), the Person that is the party receiving the largest portion
of the assets or earning power transferred pursuant to such transaction or transactions, or, if each Person that is a party to such transaction or transactions receives the same portion of the assets
or earning power transferred pursuant to such transaction or transactions or if the Person receiving the largest portion of the assets or earning power cannot be determined, whichever Person whose
outstanding shares of Common Stock have the greatest aggregate Current Per Share Market Price; provided,  however, that in any such case, (1) if the
Common Stock of such Person is not at such time and has not been continuously over the preceding
twelve-month period registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act ("Registered Common Stock"), or such Person is not a corporation, and such
Person is a direct or indirect Subsidiary of another Person that has Registered Common Stock outstanding, "Principal Party" shall refer to such other Person; (2) if the Common Stock of such
Person is not Registered Common Stock or such Person is not a corporation, and such Person is a direct or indirect Subsidiary of another Person but is not a direct or indirect Subsidiary of another
Person that has Registered Common Stock outstanding, "Principal Party" shall refer to the ultimate parent entity of such first-mentioned Person; (3) if the Common Stock of such Person is not
Registered Common Stock or such Person is not a corporation, and such Person is directly or 

18

 

indirectly
controlled by more than one Person, and one or more of such other Persons has Registered Common Stock outstanding, "Principal Party" shall refer to whichever of such other Persons is the
issuer of the Registered Common Stock having the highest aggregate Current Per Share Market Price; and (4) if the Common Stock of such Person is not Registered Common Stock or such Person is
not a corporation, and such Person is directly or indirectly controlled by more than one Person, and none of such other Persons has Registered Common Stock outstanding, "Principal Party" shall refer
to whichever ultimate parent entity is the corporation having the greatest stockholders' equity or, if no such ultimate parent entity is a corporation, shall refer to whichever ultimate parent entity
is the entity having the greatest net assets. 

        (c)   The
Company shall not consummate any such consolidation, merger, sale or transfer unless the Principal Party shall have a sufficient number of authorized shares of its
Common Stock that have not been issued or reserved for issuance to permit the exercise in full of the Rights in accordance with this Section 13, and unless prior thereto the Company and such
Principal Party shall have executed and delivered to the Rights Agent a supplemental agreement providing for the terms set forth in paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section 13 and
further providing that the Principal Party will: 

          (i)  (A)
file on an appropriate form, as soon as practicable following the execution of such agreement, a registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to the
shares of Common Stock of such Principal Party that may be acquired upon exercise of the Rights, (B) cause such registration statement to remain effective (and to include a prospectus complying
with the requirements of the Securities Act) until the Expiration Date, and (C) as soon as practicable following the execution of such agreement take
such action as may be required to ensure that any acquisition of such shares of Common Stock of such Principal Party upon the exercise of the Rights complies with any applicable state securities or
"blue sky" laws; 

         (ii)  deliver
to holders of the Rights historical financial statements for the Principal Party and each of its Affiliates that comply in all respects with the requirements
for registration on Form 10 (or any successor form) under the Exchange Act; 

        (iii)  use
its best efforts, if the Common Stock of the Principal Party shall be listed or admitted to trading on the New York Stock Exchange or on another national
securities exchange, to list or admit to trading (or continue the listing of) the Rights and the securities purchasable upon exercise of the Rights on the New York Stock Exchange or such securities
exchange, or, if the Common Stock of the Principal Party shall not be listed or admitted to trading on the New York Stock Exchange or a national securities exchange, to cause the Rights and the
securities receivable upon exercise of the Rights to be authorized for quotation on NASDAQ or on such other system then in use; and 

        (iv)  obtain
waivers of any rights of first refusal or preemptive rights in respect of the Common Stock of the Principal Party subject to purchase upon exercise of
outstanding Rights. 

        (d)   In
case the Principal Party that is to be a party to a transaction referred to in this Section 13 has a provision in any of its authorized securities or in its
certificate of incorporation, bylaws or other instrument governing its corporate affairs, which provision would have the effect of (i) causing such Principal Party to issue, in connection with,
or as a consequence of, the consummation of a transaction referred to in this Section 13, shares of Common Stock of such Principal Party at less than the Current Per Share Market Price or
securities exercisable for, or convertible into, shares of Common Stock of such Principal Party at less than the Current Per Share Market Price (other than to holders of Rights pursuant to this
Section 13) or (ii) providing for any special payment, tax or similar provisions in connection with the issuance of the shares of Common Stock of such Principal Party pursuant to the
provisions of this Section 13, then, in such event, the Company shall not consummate any such transaction unless prior thereto the Company and such Principal Party shall have executed and
delivered to the Rights Agent a supplemental agreement providing that the provision in question of 

19

 

such
Principal Party shall have been cancelled, waived or amended, or that the authorized securities shall be redeemed, so that the applicable provision will have no effect in connection with, or as a
consequence of, the consummation of the proposed transaction. 

        (e)   The
provisions of this Section 13 shall similarly apply to successive mergers or consolidations or sales or other transfers. In the event that a
Flip-Over Event shall occur at any time after the occurrence of a Flip-In Event, the Rights that have not theretofore been exercised shall thereafter be exercisable in the
manner provided in Section 13(a). 

        Section 14.    Fractional Rights and Fractional Shares.    

        (a)   The
Company shall not be required to issue fractions of Rights or to distribute Rights Certificates that evidence fractional Rights. In lieu of such fractional Rights,
there shall be paid to the registered holders of the Rights Certificates with regard to which such fractional Rights would otherwise be issuable, an amount in cash equal to the same fraction of the
Current Per Share Market Price of a whole Right. For purposes of this Section 14(a), the Current Per Share Market Price of a whole Right shall be the closing price per share of a whole Right on
the Trading Day immediately prior to the date on which such fractional Rights would have been otherwise issuable. 

        (b)   The
Company shall not be required to issue fractions of Preferred Stock (other than fractions that are integral multiples of one one-thousandth of a share of
Preferred Stock) upon exercise of the Rights or to distribute certificates that evidence fractional Preferred Stock (other than fractions that are integral multiples of one one-thousandth
of a share of Preferred Stock). Fractions of Preferred Stock in integral multiples of one one-thousandth of a share of Preferred Stock may, at the election of the Company, be evidenced by
depositary receipts, pursuant to an appropriate agreement between the Company and a depositary selected by it; provided,  however, that such agreement shall
provide that the holders of such depositary receipts shall have all the rights, privileges and preferences to which
they are entitled as beneficial owners of the Preferred Stock represented by such depositary receipts. In lieu of fractional shares of Preferred Stock that are not integral multiples of one
one-thousandth of a share of Preferred Stock, the Company shall pay to the registered holders of Rights Certificates at the time such Rights are exercised as herein provided an amount in
cash equal to the same fraction of the Current Per Share Market Price of one share of Preferred Stock. 

        (c)   The
holder of a Right by the acceptance of the Right expressly waives such holder's right to receive any fractional Rights or any fractional shares upon exercise of a
Right (except as provided above). 

        Section
15.    Rights of Action.    All rights of action in respect of this Agreement, excepting the rights of action
given to the Rights Agent under Section 18, are vested in the respective registered holders of the Rights Certificates (and, prior to the Distribution Date, the registered holders of
certificates representing shares of Common Stock of the Company); and any registered holder of any Rights Certificate (or, prior to the Distribution Date, a certificate representing shares of Common
Stock of the Company), without the consent of the Rights Agent or of the holder of any other Rights Certificate (or, prior to the Distribution Date, of a certificate representing shares of Common
Stock of the Company), may, in such holder's own behalf and for such holder's own benefit, enforce, and may institute and maintain any suit, action or proceeding against the Company to enforce, or
otherwise act in respect of, such holder's right to exercise the Rights evidenced by such Rights Certificate or, prior to the Distribution Date, in the manner provided in any such Rights Certificate
and in this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing or any remedies available to the holders of Rights, it is specifically acknowledged that the holders of Rights would not have an adequate remedy
at law for any breach of this Agreement and will be entitled to specific performance of the obligations hereunder, and injunctive relief against actual or threatened violations of the obligations of
any Person subject to this Agreement. 

20

 

        Section
16.    Agreement of Rights Holders.    Every holder of a Right, by accepting the same, consents and agrees
with the Company and the Rights Agent and with every other holder of a Right that: 

        (a)   prior
to the occurrence of a Distribution Date, the Rights will be transferable only in connection with the transfer of shares of Common Stock of the Company; 

        (b)   after
the occurrence of a Distribution Date, the Rights Certificates are transferable only on the registry books of the Rights Agent if surrendered at the office of the
Rights Agent designated for such purpose, duly endorsed or accompanied by a proper instrument of transfer; 

        (c)   subject
to Sections 6(a) and 7(f), the Company and the Rights Agent may deem and treat the person in whose name the Rights Certificate (or, prior to the Distribution
Date, the associated Common Stock certificate) is registered as the absolute owner thereof and of the Rights evidenced thereby (notwithstanding any notations of ownership or writing on the Rights
Certificates or the associated Common Stock certificate made by anyone other than the Company or the Rights Agent) for all purposes whatsoever, and neither the Company nor the Rights Agent shall be
affected by any notice to the contrary; 

        (d)   such
holder expressly waives any right to receive any fractional Rights and any fractional securities upon exercise or exchange of a Right, except as otherwise provided
in Section 14; and 

        (e)   notwithstanding
anything in this Agreement to the contrary, neither the Company nor the Rights Agent shall have any liability to any holder of a Right or other Person as
a result of its inability to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement by reason of any preliminary or permanent injunction or other order, decree or ruling issued by a court of competent
jurisdiction or by a governmental, regulatory or administrative agency or commission, or any statute, rule, regulation or executive order promulgated or enacted by any governmental authority,
prohibiting or otherwise restraining performance of such obligation; provided, however, the Company
shall use commercially reasonably efforts to seek to have any such order, decree or ruling lifted or otherwise overturned as soon as practicable. 

        Section
17.    Rights Certificate Holder Not Deemed a Stockholder.    No holder, as such, of any Rights Certificate
shall be entitled to vote, receive dividends or be deemed for any purpose the holder of the Units of Preferred Stock or any other securities of the Company that may at any time be issuable upon the
exercise of the Rights represented thereby, nor shall anything contained in this Agreement or in any Rights Certificate be construed to confer upon the holder of any Rights Certificate, as such, any
of the rights of a stockholder of the Company or any right to vote for the election of directors or upon any matter submitted to stockholders at any meeting thereof, or to give or withhold consent to
any corporate action, or to receive notice of meetings or other actions affecting stockholders (except as provided in Section 25), or to receive dividends or subscription rights, or otherwise,
until the Right or Rights evidenced by such Rights Certificate shall have been exercised in accordance with this Agreement. 

        Section
18.    Concerning the Rights Agent.    The Company agrees to pay to the Rights Agent reasonable compensation
for all services rendered by it under this Agreement and, from time to time, on demand of the Rights Agent, its reasonable expenses and counsel fees and other disbursements incurred in the
administration and execution of this Agreement and the exercise and performance of its duties hereunder. The Company also agrees to indemnify the Rights Agent for, and to hold it harmless against, any
loss, liability, or expense, incurred without gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Rights Agent, for any action taken, suffered or omitted by the Rights Agent in connection with
the execution, acceptance and administration of this Agreement and the exercise and performance of its duties, including the costs and expenses of defending against and appealing any claim of
liability in the premises. This indemnity shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the expiration of 

21

 

the
Rights. The costs and expenses incurred in enforcing this right of indemnification shall be paid by the Company. 

        The
Rights Agent may conclusively rely upon and shall be protected and shall incur no liability for, or in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it in connection with, its
administration of this Agreement and the exercise and performance of its duties hereunder in reliance upon any Rights Certificate or certificate for Units of Preferred Stock or for other securities of
the Company, instrument of assignment or transfer, power of attorney, endorsement, affidavit, letter, notice, direction,
consent, certificate, statement, or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to be signed, executed and, where necessary, verified or acknowledged, by the proper person or persons, or
otherwise upon the advice of counsel as set forth in Section 20. 

        Section 19.    Merger or Consolidation or Change of Name of Rights Agent.    

        (a)   Any
corporation into which the Rights Agent or any successor Rights Agent may be merged or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any
merger or consolidation to which the Rights Agent or any successor Rights Agent shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to the stock transfer or corporate trust business of the Rights Agent or
any successor Rights Agent, shall be the successor to the Rights Agent under this Agreement without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto;  provided, that such corporation must be eligible for appointment as a successor Rights Agent under the provisions of Section 21. In case at the
time such successor Rights Agent shall succeed to the agency created by this Agreement any of the Rights Certificates shall have been countersigned but not delivered, any such successor Rights Agent
may adopt the countersignature of the predecessor Rights Agent and deliver such Rights Certificates so countersigned; and in case at that time any of the Rights Certificates shall not have been
countersigned, any successor Rights Agent may countersign such Rights Certificates either in the name of the predecessor Rights Agent or in the name of the successor Rights Agent; and in all such
cases such Rights Certificates shall have the full force provided in the Rights Certificates and in this Agreement. 

        (b)   In
case at any time the name of the Rights Agent shall be changed and at such time any of the Rights Certificates shall have been countersigned but not delivered, the
Rights Agent may adopt the countersignature under its prior name and deliver Rights Certificates so countersigned; and in case at that time any of the Rights Certificates shall not have been
countersigned, the Rights Agent may countersign such Rights Certificates either in its prior name or in its changed name; and in all such cases such Rights Certificates shall have the full force
provided in the Rights Certificates and in this Agreement. 

        Section
20.    Duties of Rights Agent.    The Rights Agent undertakes the duties and obligations imposed by this
Agreement upon the following terms and conditions, all of which the Company and the holders of Rights Certificates, by their acceptance thereof, shall be bound, and no implied duties or obligations
shall be read into this Agreement against the Rights Agent: 

        (a)   Before
the Rights Agent acts or refrains from acting, it may consult with legal counsel of its choice (who may be legal counsel for the Company), and the advice or
opinion of such counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection to the Rights Agent as to any action taken, suffered or omitted by it in good faith and in accordance with such advice
or opinion. 

        (b)   Whenever
in the administration, exercise and performance of its duties under this Agreement the Rights Agent shall deem it necessary or desirable that any fact or matter
be proved or established by the Company prior to taking, suffering or omitting any action hereunder, such fact or matter (unless other evidence in respect thereof be herein specifically prescribed)
may be deemed to be conclusively proved and established by a certificate signed by any officer of the Company and delivered to the Rights Agent; and such certificate shall be full authorization to the
Rights Agent for any action taken, 

22

 

suffered
or omitted in good faith by it under the provisions of this Agreement in reliance upon such certificate. 

        (c)   The
Rights Agent shall be liable hereunder to the Company and any other Person only for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. 

        (d)   The
Rights Agent shall not be liable for or by reason of any of the statements of fact or recitals contained in this Agreement or in the Rights Certificates (except its
countersignature thereof) or be required to verify the same, but all such statements and recitals are and shall be deemed to have been made by the Company only. 

        (e)   The
Rights Agent shall not be under any liability or responsibility in respect of the legality, validity or enforceability of this Agreement or the execution and
delivery hereof (except the due execution by the Rights Agent) or in respect of the legality, validity or enforceability or the execution of any Rights Certificate (except its countersignature); nor
shall it be liable or responsible for any breach by the Company of any covenant or condition contained in this Agreement or in any Rights Certificate; nor shall it be responsible for any change in the
exercisability of the Rights (including, without limitation, the Rights becoming void pursuant to Section 11(a)(ii)) or any adjustment in the terms of the Rights (including, without limitation,
the manner, method or amount thereof) provided for in Section 3, 11, 13, 23 or 24, or the ascertaining of the existence of facts that would require any such change or adjustment (except with
respect to the exercise of Rights evidenced by Rights Certificates after receipt of the certificate described in Section 12); nor shall it by any act hereunder be deemed to make any
representation or warranty as to the authorization or reservation of any Units of Preferred Stock or other securities to be issued upon the exercise of any Rights or as to whether any such security
will, when issued, be validly authorized and issued, fully paid and nonassessable. 

        (f)    The
Company agrees that it will perform, execute, acknowledge and deliver or cause to be performed, executed, acknowledged and delivered all such further and other acts,
instruments and assurances as may reasonably be required by the Rights Agent for the carrying out or performing by the Rights Agent of the provisions of this Agreement. 

        (g)   The
Rights Agent is hereby authorized and directed to accept instructions with respect to the administration, exercise and performance of its duties hereunder from any
one officer of the Company, and to apply to such officer for advice or instructions in connection with its duties, and it shall not be responsible or liable for any action taken, suffered or omitted
by it in good faith in accordance with instructions of any such officer or for any delay in acting while waiting for those instructions. Any application by the Rights Agent for written instructions
from the Company may, at the option of the Rights Agent, set forth in writing any action proposed to be taken or omitted by the Rights Agent under this Agreement and the date on and/or after which
such action shall be taken or such omission shall be effective. The Rights Agent shall not be liable for any action taken by, or omission of, the Rights Agent in accordance with a proposal included in
any such application on or after the date specified in such application (which date shall not be less than five Business Days after the date any officer of the Company actually received such
application, unless any such officer shall have consented in writing to an earlier date) unless, prior to taking any such action (or the effective date in the case of an omission), the Rights Agent
shall have received written instructions in response to such application specifying the action to be taken or omitted. 

        (h)   The
Rights Agent and any stockholder, director, officer or employee of the Rights Agent may buy, sell or deal in any of the Rights or other securities of the Company or
become pecuniarily interested in any transaction in which the Company may be interested, or contract with or lend money to the Company or otherwise act as fully and freely as though it were not Rights
Agent under this Agreement. Nothing herein shall preclude the Rights Agent from acting in any other capacity for the Company or for any other legal entity. 

23

 

        (i)    The
Rights Agent may execute and exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it or perform any duty under this Agreement either itself or by or through its attorneys
or agents, and the Rights Agent shall not be answerable or accountable for any act, default, neglect or misconduct of any such attorneys or agents or for any loss to the Company resulting from any
such act, default, neglect or misconduct, provided reasonable care was exercised in the selection and continued employment thereof. 

        (j)    No
provision of this Agreement shall require the Rights Agent to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its
duties hereunder or in the exercise of its rights if the Rights Agent in good faith believes that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnification against such risk or liability is not reasonably
assured to it. 

        (k)   If,
with respect to any Rights Certificate surrendered to the Rights Agent for exercise, transfer, split up, combination or exchange, the certification on the form of
assignment or form of election to purchase, as the case may be, that the Rights evidenced by the Rights Certificate are not owned by an Acquiring Person, or an Affiliate or Associate thereof, has
either not been completed or in any manner indicates any other response thereto, the Rights Agent shall not take any further action with respect to such requested exercise, transfer, split up,
combination or exchange, without first consulting with the Company. 

        Section
21.    Change of Rights Agent.    The Rights Agent or any successor Rights Agent may resign and be discharged
from its duties under this Agreement upon thirty days' notice in writing mailed to the Company and to each transfer agent of the Common Stock of the Company or Preferred Stock (as to which the Rights
Agent has received prior written notice) by registered or certified mail, and the Company shall mail notice thereof to the holders of the Rights Certificates by first-class mail. The Company may
remove the Rights Agent or any successor Rights Agent upon thirty days' notice in writing, mailed to the Rights Agent or successor Rights Agent, as the case may be, and to each transfer agent of the
Common Stock or Preferred Stock (as to which the Rights Agent has received prior written notice) by registered or certified mail, and to the holders of the Rights Certificates by first-class mail. If
the Rights Agent shall resign or be removed or shall otherwise become incapable of acting, the Company shall appoint a successor to the Rights Agent. If the Company shall fail to make such appointment
within a period of thirty days after giving notice of such removal or after it has been notified in writing of such resignation or incapacity by the resigning or incapacitated Rights Agent or by the
holder of a Rights Certificate (who shall, with such notice, submit such holder's Rights Certificate for inspection by the Company), then the registered holder of any Rights Certificate may apply to
any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a new Rights Agent. Any successor Rights Agent, whether appointed by the Company or by such a court, shall be a corporation organized and
doing business under the laws of the United States or of any state of the United States, in good standing, authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust or stock transfer powers, and subject
to supervision or examination by federal or state authority and that has at the time of its appointment as Rights Agent a combined capital and surplus of at least $50 million. After
appointment, the successor Rights Agent shall be vested with the same powers, rights, duties and responsibilities as if it had been originally named as Rights Agent without further act or deed; but
the predecessor Rights Agent shall deliver and transfer to the successor Rights Agent any property at the time held by it hereunder, and execute and deliver any further assurance, conveyance, act or
deed necessary for the purpose. Not later than the effective date of any such appointment the Company shall file notice thereof in writing with the predecessor Rights Agent and each transfer agent of
the Common Stock or Preferred Stock, and mail a notice thereof in writing to the registered holders of the Rights Certificates. Failure to give any notice provided for in this Section 21,
however, or any defect therein, shall not affect the legality or validity of the resignation or removal of the Rights Agent or the appointment of the successor Rights Agent, as the case may be. 

        Section
22.    Issuance of New Rights Certificates.    Notwithstanding any of the provisions of this Agreement or of
the Rights to the contrary, the Company may, at its option, issue new Rights 

24

 

Certificates
evidencing Rights in such form as may be approved by its board of directors to reflect any adjustment or change in the Purchase Price and the number or kind or class of shares or other
securities or property purchasable under the Rights Certificates made in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. In addition, in connection with the issuance or sale of shares of Common
Stock of the Company following the Distribution Date and prior to the Expiration Date, the Company (a) shall, with respect to shares of Common Stock of the Company so issued or sold pursuant to
the exercise of stock options or under any employee benefit plan or arrangement or upon the exercise, conversion or exchange of securities of the Company currently outstanding or issued at any time in
the future by the Company and (b) may, in any other case, if deemed necessary or appropriate by the board of directors of the Company issue Rights Certificates representing the appropriate
number of Rights in connection with such issuance or sale; provided, however, that (i) no such
Rights Certificate shall be issued and this sentence shall be null and void ab initio if, and to the extent that, such issuance or this sentence would
create a significant risk of or result in material adverse tax consequences to the Company or the Person to whom such Rights Certificate would be issued or would create a significant risk of or result
in such options' or employee plans' or arrangements' failing to qualify for otherwise available special tax treatment and (ii) no such Rights Certificate shall be issued if, and to the extent
that, appropriate adjustment shall otherwise have been made in lieu of the issuance thereof. 

        Section 23.    Redemption and Termination.    

        (a)   The
Company may, at its option, upon action by the board of directors, at any time on or prior to the earlier of (i) the time a Person becomes an Acquiring Person
and (ii) the Final Expiration Date, redeem all but not less than all the then outstanding Rights at a redemption price of $0.01 per Right, appropriately adjusted to reflect any stock split,
stock dividend or similar transaction occurring after the date of this Agreement (such redemption price being hereinafter referred to as the "Redemption
Price"), and the Company may, at its option, pay the Redemption Price either in cash, shares of Common Stock of the Company (based on the Current Per Share Market Price thereof
at the time of redemption), or any other form of consideration deemed appropriate by its board of directors. The redemption of the Rights upon action by the board of directors of the Company may be
made effective at such time, on such basis and with such conditions as the board of directors of the Company in its sole discretion may establish. Any such redemption will be effective immediately
upon the action of the board of directors of the Company ordering the same, unless such action of the board of directors of the Company expressly provides that such redemption will be effective at a
subsequent time or upon the occurrence or nonoccurrence of one or more specified events (in which case such redemption will be effective in accordance with the provisions of such action of the board
of directors of the Company). 

        (b)   Immediately
upon the effectiveness of the redemption of the Rights pursuant to Section 23(a), and without any further action and without any notice, the right to
exercise the Rights will terminate and the only right thereafter of the holders of Rights shall be to receive the Redemption Price. The Company shall promptly give public notice of any such
redemption; provided, however, that the failure to give, or any defect in, any such notice shall not
affect the validity of such redemption. Within 10 days after the effectiveness of the redemption of the Rights, the Company shall give notice of such redemption to the Rights Agent and shall
mail a notice of redemption to all the holders of the then outstanding Rights at their last addresses as they appear upon the registry books of the Rights Agent or, prior to the Distribution Date, on
the registry books of the transfer agent for the Common Stock. Any notice that is mailed in such manner shall be deemed given, whether or not the holder receives the notice. Each notice of redemption
will state the method by which the payment of the Redemption Price will be made. Neither the Company nor any of its Affiliates or Associates may redeem, acquire or purchase for value any Rights at any
time in any manner other than that specifically set forth in this Section 23 or in Section 24, and other than in connection with the purchase of shares of Common Stock prior to the
Distribution Date. 

25

 

        (c)   Notwithstanding
anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, the Rights shall not be exercisable pursuant to Section 7(a) at any time when the Rights may
be redeemed by action of the board of directors pursuant to Section 23(a). 

        Section 24.    Exchange.    

        (a)   The
Company, at its option, upon approval by its board of directors, at any time after any Person becomes an Acquiring Person, may exchange all or part of the then
outstanding and exercisable Rights (which shall not include Rights that have become void pursuant to the provisions of Section 7(e) hereof) for Units of Preferred Stock at an exchange ratio
equal to, subject to adjustment to reflect stock splits, stock dividends and similar transactions occurring after the date hereof, that number obtained by dividing the Purchase Price by the then
Current Per Share Market Price per Unit of Preferred Stock on the earlier of (i) the date on which any Person becomes an Acquiring Person and (ii) the date on which a tender or exchange
offer by any Person (other than the Company, any Subsidiary of the Company, any employee benefit plan maintained by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any trustee or fiduciary with respect to
such plan acting in such capacity) is commenced within the meaning of Rule 14d-2(a) of the Exchange Act Regulations or any successor rule, if upon consummation thereof such Person
would be the Beneficial Owner of 15% or more of the shares of Common Stock of the Company then outstanding (such exchange ratio being hereinafter referred to as the
"Section 24(a) Exchange Ratio"). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may not effect such exchange at any time after any Person (other than
the Company, any Subsidiary of the Company, any employee benefit plan maintained by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or any trustee or fiduciary with respect to such plan acting in such
capacity), together with all Affiliates and Associates of such Person, becomes the Beneficial Owner of 50% or more of the shares of Common Stock of the Company then outstanding. 

        (b)   Immediately
upon the action of the board of directors of the Company ordering the exchange of any Rights pursuant to subsection (a) of this Section 24 and
without any further action and without any notice, the right to exercise such Rights shall terminate and the only right thereafter of a holder of such Rights shall be to receive that number of Units
of Preferred Stock equal to the number of such Rights held by such holder multiplied by the Section 24(a) Exchange Ratio. The Company shall promptly give public notice of any such exchange;  provided, however, that the failure to give, or any defect in, such notice shall not affect the validity
of such exchange. The Company promptly shall mail a notice of any such exchange to all of the holders of such Rights at their last addresses as they appear upon the registry books of the Rights Agent.
Any notice that is mailed in the manner provided in this Agreement shall be deemed given, whether or not the holder receives the notice. Each such notice of exchange will state the method by which the
exchange of Units of Preferred Stock for Rights will be effected and, in the event of any partial exchange, the number of Rights that will be exchanged. Any partial exchange shall be effected pro rata
based on the number of Rights (other than Rights that have become void pursuant to the provisions of Section 7(e)) held by each holder of Rights. 

        (c)   In
the event that the number of shares of Preferred Stock authorized by the Company's certificate of incorporation but not outstanding or reserved for issuance for
purposes other than upon exercise of the Rights is not sufficient to permit any exchange of Rights as contemplated in accordance with this Section 24, the Company shall take all such action as
may be necessary to authorize additional shares of Preferred Stock for issuance upon exchange of the Rights or make adequate provision to substitute (1) cash, (2) Common Stock of the
Company or other equity securities of the Company, (3) debt securities of the Company, (4) other assets, or (5) any combination of the foregoing, having an aggregate value equal
to the aggregate Current Per Share Market Price of the Units of Preferred Stock that would otherwise be issuable in such exchange, all as determined by the board of directors of the Company (which
determination shall be described in a statement filed with the Rights Agent and shall be conclusive and binding on the Rights Agent, the holders of the Rights and all other Persons). To the extent
that the Company determines that some action need be taken pursuant to Section 24(a), the board of directors of the Company may temporarily suspend the exercisability of the Rights for a period
of up to sixty days following the date on which the event described in Section 24(a) shall have occurred, in order to seek any authorization of additional shares of Preferred Stock and/or to
decide the appropriate form of distribution to be made pursuant to the above provision and to determine the value thereof. In the event of any such suspension, the Company shall issue a public
announcement stating that the exercisability of the Rights has been temporarily suspended. 

26

   
        Section 25.    Notice of Certain Events.    

        (a)   In
case the Company shall, at any time after the earlier to occur of a Distribution Date or a Share Acquisition Date, propose (i) to pay any dividend payable in
stock of any class to the holders of its Preferred Stock or to make any other distribution to the holders of its Preferred Stock (other than a regular quarterly cash dividend), (ii) to offer to
the holders of its Preferred Stock rights or warrants to subscribe for or to purchase any additional Units of Preferred Stock or shares of stock of any class or any other securities, rights or
options, (iii) to effect any reclassification of its Preferred Stock (other than a reclassification involving only the subdivision of outstanding Preferred Stock), (iv) to effect any
consolidation or merger into or with any other Person (other than a Subsidiary of the Company in a transaction that complies with Section 11(o)), or to effect any sale or other transfer (or to
permit one or more of its Subsidiaries to effect any sale or other transfer), in one or more transactions, of 50% or more of the assets or earning power of the Company and its Subsidiaries (taken as a
whole) to, any other Person, (v) to effect the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company or (vi) to declare or pay any dividend on the Common Stock of the Company payable in
shares of Common Stock of the Company or to effect a subdivision, combination or consolidation of the shares of Common Stock of the Company (by reclassification or otherwise than by payment of
dividends in shares of Common Stock), then, in each such case, the Company shall give to each holder of a Rights Certificate, in accordance with Section 26, a notice of such proposed action
that shall specify the record date for the purposes of such stock dividend, or distribution of rights or warrants, or the date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer,
liquidation, dissolution, or winding up is to take place and the date of participation therein by the holders of the shares of Common Stock of the Company and/or shares of Preferred Stock, if any such
date is to be fixed, and such notice shall be so given in the case of any action covered by clause (i) or (ii) above at least ten days prior to the record date for determining holders of
the shares of Preferred Stock for purposes of such action, and in the case of any such other action, at least ten days prior to the date of the taking of such proposed action or the date of
participation therein by the holders of the shares of Common Stock of the Company and/or shares of Preferred Stock, whichever shall be the earlier. 

        (b)   In
case a Flip-In Event shall occur, then the Company shall as soon as practicable thereafter give to each holder of a Rights Certificate, in accordance with
Section 26, a notice of the occurrence of such event, which notice shall describe such event and the consequences of such event to holders of Rights under Section 11(a)(ii). In the event
any Person becomes an Acquiring Person, the Company will promptly notify the Rights Agent upon obtaining knowledge thereof. 

        Section
26.    Notices.    Notices or demands authorized by this Agreement to be given or made by the Rights Agent or

Company may, in its sole and absolute discretion, and the Rights Agent shall, if the Company so directs, supplement or amend any provision of this Agreement (including, without limitation,

Persons.

sole and exclusive benefit of the Company, the Rights Agent and the registered holders of the Rights Certificates (and, prior to the Distribution Date, shares of Common Stock of the Company). 

        Section

CHENIERE ENERGY, INC.,

  
  (Pursuant to Section 151 of the

Delaware General Corporation Law) 

        Cheniere
Energy, Inc., a corporation organized and existing under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (hereinafter called the
"Corporation"), hereby certifies that the following resolution was adopted by the board of directors of the Corporation as required by
Section 151 of the General Corporation Law at a meeting duly called and held on October 13, 2004: 

        RESOLVED,
that pursuant to the authority granted to and vested in the board of directors of the Corporation (the "Board") in accordance
with the provisions of the certificate of incorporation of the Corporation, as currently in effect, the Board hereby creates a series of Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the
"Preferred Stock"), of the Corporation and hereby states the designation and number of shares, and fixes the relative rights, preferences, and
limitations thereof as follows: 

        Series A
Junior Participating Preferred Stock: 

        Section 1.    Designation and Amount.    The shares of such series shall be designated as "Series A
Junior Participating Preferred Stock" (the "Series A Preferred Stock") and the number of shares constituting the Series A Preferred Stock
shall be Four Hundred Thousand (400,000). Such number of shares may be increased or decreased by resolution of the board of directors; provided, that no
decrease shall reduce the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock to a number less than the number of shares then outstanding plus the number of shares reserved for issuance upon the
exercise of outstanding options, rights or warrants or upon the conversion of any outstanding securities issued by the Corporation convertible into Series A Preferred Stock. 

        Section 2.    Dividends and Distributions.    

        (a)   Subject
to the rights of the holders of any shares of any series of Preferred Stock (or any similar stock) ranking prior and superior to the Series A Preferred
Stock with respect to dividends, each holder of a share of Series A Preferred Stock, in preference to the holders of shares of common stock, par value $0.003 per share (the
"Common Stock"), of the Corporation, and of any other junior stock, shall be entitled to receive, when declared by the Board out of funds legally
available for the purpose, dividends in an amount per share (rounded to the nearest cent) equal to, subject to the provision for adjustment hereinafter set forth, 1,000 times the aggregate per share
amount of all cash dividends, and 1,000 times the aggregate per share amount (payable in kind) of all non-cash dividends or other distributions, other than a dividend payable in shares of
Common Stock or a subdivision of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (by reclassification or otherwise), declared on the Common 

A-1

 

Stock.
In the event the Corporation shall at any time declare or pay any dividend on the Common Stock payable in shares of Common Stock, or effect a subdivision or combination or consolidation of the
outstanding shares of Common Stock (by reclassification or otherwise than by payment of a dividend in shares of Common Stock) into a greater or lesser number of shares of Common Stock, then in each
such case the amount to which holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock were entitled immediately prior to such event under the preceding sentence shall be adjusted by multiplying such
amount by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event and the denominator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock that
were outstanding immediately prior to such event. 

        (b)   The
Corporation shall declare a dividend or distribution on the shares of Series A Preferred Stock as provided in Section 2(a) immediately after it
declares a dividend or distribution on the Common Stock (other than a dividend payable in shares of Common Stock); provided,  however, that, in the event no
dividend or distribution shall be declared by the Board on the Common Stock for which it does not declare the dividend
required to be declared on the Preferred Stock pursuant to Section 2(a). 

        (c)   Accrued
but unpaid dividends shall not bear interest. Dividends paid on the shares of Series A Preferred Stock in an amount less than the total amount of such
dividends at the time accrued and payable on such shares shall be allocated pro rata on a share-by-share basis among all such shares at the time outstanding. The Board may fix
a record date for the determination of holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock entitled to receive payment of a dividend or distribution declared thereon, which record date shall be not
more than sixty days prior to the date fixed for the payment thereof. 

        Section 3.    Voting Rights.    The holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall have the
following voting rights: 

        (a)   Subject
to the provision for adjustment hereinafter set forth, each share of Series A Preferred Stock shall entitle the holder thereof to 1,000 votes on all
matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders of the Corporation. In the event the Corporation shall at any time declare or pay any dividend on the Common Stock payable in shares of Common Stock, or
effect a subdivision or combination or consolidation of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (by reclassification or otherwise than by payment of a dividend in shares of Common Stock) into a greater
or lesser number of shares of Common Stock, then in each such case the number of votes per share to which holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock were entitled immediately prior to such
event shall be adjusted by multiplying such number by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event and the denominator of which
is the number of shares of Common Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to such event. 

        (b)   Except
as otherwise provided herein, in any other Certificate of Designations creating a series of Preferred Stock or any similar stock, or by law, the holders of shares
of Series A Preferred Stock and the holders of shares of Common Stock and any other capital stock of the Corporation having general voting rights shall vote together as one class on all matters
submitted to a vote of stockholders of the Corporation. 

        (c)   Except
as set forth herein, or as otherwise provided by law, holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall have no special voting rights and their consent shall not
be required (except to the extent they are entitled to vote with holders of Common Stock as set forth herein) for taking any corporate action. 

        Section 4.    Certain Restrictions.    

        (a)   Whenever
quarterly dividends or other dividends or distributions payable on the Series A Preferred Stock as provided in Section 2 are in arrears,
thereafter and until all accrued and unpaid 

A-2

 

dividends
and distributions, whether or not declared, on shares of Series A Preferred Stock outstanding shall have been paid in full, the Corporation shall not: 

          (i)  declare
or pay dividends, or make any other distributions, on any shares of stock ranking junior (either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up)
to the Series A Preferred Stock; 

         (ii)  declare
or pay dividends, or make any other distributions, on any shares of stock ranking on a parity (either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or
winding up) with the Series A Preferred Stock, except dividends paid ratably on the shares of Series A Preferred Stock and all such parity stock on which dividends are payable or in
arrears in proportion to the total amounts to which the holders of all such shares are then entitled; 

        (iii)  redeem
or purchase or otherwise acquire for consideration shares of any stock ranking junior (either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up) to
the Series A Preferred Stock; provided, that the Corporation may at any time redeem, purchase or otherwise acquire shares of any such junior
stock in exchange for shares of any stock of the Corporation ranking junior (either as to dividends or upon dissolution, liquidation or winding up) to the Series A Preferred Stock; or 

        (iv)  redeem
or purchase or otherwise acquire for consideration any shares of Series A Preferred Stock, or any shares of stock ranking on a parity with the
Series A Preferred Stock, except in accordance with a purchase offer made in writing or by publication (as determined by the Board) to all holders of such shares upon such terms as the Board,
after consideration of the respective annual dividend rates and other relative rights and preferences of the respective series and classes, shall determine in good faith will result in fair and
equitable treatment among the respective series or classes. 

        (b)   The
Corporation shall not permit any subsidiary of the Corporation to purchase or otherwise acquire for consideration any shares of stock of the Corporation unless the
Corporation could, under Section 4(a), purchase or otherwise acquire such shares at such time and in such manner. 

        Section 5.    Reacquired Shares.    Any shares of Series A Preferred Stock purchased or otherwise
acquired by the Corporation in any manner whatsoever shall be retired and cancelled promptly after the acquisition thereof. All such shares shall upon their cancellation become authorized but unissued
shares of Preferred Stock and may be reissued as part of a new series of Preferred Stock subject to the conditions and restrictions on issuance set forth herein, in the Certificate of Incorporation,
or in any
other Certificate of Designations creating a series of Preferred Stock or any similar stock or as otherwise required by law. 

        Section 6.    Liquidation, Dissolution or Winding Up.    

        (a)   Upon
any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, no distribution shall be made (i) to the holders of shares of stock ranking junior (either as
to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up) to the Series A Preferred Stock unless, prior thereto, the holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall have received
the greater of (x) $1,000 per share, plus an amount equal to accrued and unpaid dividends and distributions thereon to the date of such payment (the "Series A
Liquidation Preference") and (y) an aggregate amount per share, subject to the provision for adjustment hereinafter set forth, equal to 1,000 times the aggregate amount
to be distributed per share to holders of shares of Common Stock (the "Common Adjustment"), or (ii) to the holders of shares of stock ranking on
a parity (either as to dividends or upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up) with the Series A Preferred Stock, except distributions made ratably on the Series A Preferred Stock and
all such parity stock in proportion to the total amounts to which the holders of all such shares are entitled upon such liquidation, dissolution or winding up. In the event the Corporation shall at
any time declare or pay any dividend on the Common Stock payable in shares of Common Stock, or effect a subdivision 

A-3

 

or
combination or consolidation of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (by reclassification or otherwise than by payment of a dividend in shares of Common Stock) into a greater or lesser number of
shares of Common Stock, then in each such case the aggregate amount to which holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock were entitled immediately prior to such event under the proviso in
clause (i) of the preceding sentence shall be adjusted by multiplying such amount by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such
event and the denominator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to such event ("Adjustment Number"). 

        (b)   In
the event, however, that there are not sufficient assets available to permit payment in full of the Series A Liquidation Preference and the liquidation
preferences of all other series of Preferred Stock, if any, which rank on a parity with the Series A Preferred Stock, then such remaining assets shall be distributed ratably to the holders of
such parity shares in proportion to their respective liquidation preferences. In the event, however, that there are not sufficient assets available to permit payment in full of the Common Adjustment,
then such remaining assets shall be distributed ratably to the holders of Common Stock. 

        (c)   In
the event the Corporation shall at any time after the October 14, 2004 (i) declare any dividend on Common Stock payable in shares of Common Stock,
(ii) subdivide the outstanding Common Stock, or (iii) combine the outstanding Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, then in each such case the Adjustment Number in effect
immediately prior to such event shall be adjusted by multiplying such Adjustment Number by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such
event and the denominator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to such event. 

        Section 7.    Consolidation, Merger, etc.    In case the Corporation shall enter into any consolidation,
merger, combination or other transaction in which the shares of Common Stock are exchanged for or converted or changed into other stock or securities, cash and/or any other property (or into the right
to receive any of the foregoing), then in any such case each share of Series A Preferred Stock shall at the same time be similarly exchanged, converted or changed into an amount per share,
subject to the provision for adjustment hereinafter set forth, equal to 1,000 times the aggregate amount of stock, securities, cash and/or any other property (payable in kind), as the case may be,
into which or for which each share of Common Stock is converted, changed or exchanged. In the event the Corporation shall at any time declare or pay any dividend on the Common Stock payable in shares
of Common Stock, or effect a subdivision or combination or consolidation of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (by reclassification or otherwise than by payment of a dividend in shares of Common
Stock) into a greater or lesser number of shares of Common Stock, then in each such case the amount set forth in the preceding sentence with respect to the exchange or change of shares of
Series A Preferred Stock shall be adjusted by multiplying such amount by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event and
the denominator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock that were outstanding immediately prior to such event. 

        Section 8.    No Redemption.    The shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall not be redeemable. 

        Section 9.    Rank.    The Series A Preferred Stock shall rank, with respect to the payment of dividends
and the distribution of assets, junior to all series of any other class of the Corporation's Preferred Stock. 

        Section 10.    Amendment.    The certificate of incorporation of the Corporation shall not be amended in any
manner that would materially alter or change the powers, preferences or special rights of the Series A Preferred Stock so as to affect them adversely without the affirmative vote of the holders
of at least a majority of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock, voting together as a single class.

Exhibit C 

CHENIERE ENERGY, INC.

SUMMARY OF STOCKHOLDER RIGHTS PLAN  

        On October 13, 2004, the board of directors of Cheniere Energy, Inc. (the "Company") declared a
dividend distribution of one right for each outstanding share of our common stock to stockholders of record at the close of business on November 1, 2004. Each Right entitles the registered
holder to purchase from the Company one "Unit" consisting of one one-thousandth of a share of Series A Junior Participating preferred
stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the "Preferred Stock"), at a purchase price of $200 per Unit, subject to adjustment. The description and terms of
the Rights are set forth in a Rights Agreement ("Rights Agreement") between the Company and U.S. Stock Transfer Corp., as Rights Agent. 

        Initially,
the Rights will be attached to all common stock certificates representing shares then outstanding, and no separate Rights certificates will be distributed. The Rights will
separate from the common stock and a distribution date (the "Distribution Date") will occur upon the date that is the earlier of 

	•
	ten
business days following a public announcement that a person or group of affiliated or associated persons (an "Acquiring
Person") has (subject to certain exceptions) acquired, or obtained the right to acquire, beneficial ownership of 15% or more of the outstanding shares of our common stock (the
"Share Acquisition Date"), other than as a result of repurchases of stock by the Company and

	•
	ten
business days (or such later date as our board of directors shall determine) following the commencement of a tender offer or exchange offer that would result in a person
or group beneficially owning 15% or more of such outstanding shares of our common stock. 

Until
the Distribution Date, 

	•
	the
Rights will be evidenced by the common stock certificates and will be transferred with and only with such common stock certificates,

	•
	new
common stock certificates issued after the record date will contain a notation incorporating the Rights Agreement by reference and

	•
	the
surrender for transfer of any certificates for common stock outstanding will also constitute the surrender for transfer of the Rights associated with the common stock
represented by the certificates. 

        The
Rights are not exercisable until the Distribution Date and will expire at the close of business on October 14, 2014, unless earlier exercised, exchanged or redeemed by the
Company as described below. 

        As
soon as practicable after the occurrence of the Distribution Date, Rights certificates will be mailed to holders of record of our common stock as of the close of business on the
Distribution Date and, thereafter, the separate Rights certificates alone will represent the Rights. Except as otherwise determined by our board of directors, only shares of our common stock issued
prior to the occurrence of the Distribution Date will be issued with Rights. 

        Generally,
in the event that: 

	•
	any
person becomes an Acquiring Person;

	•
	an
Acquiring Person (i) consummates with the Company or any of its subsidiaries (a) certain mergers, or (b) securities transactions or asset
transactions that are valued at more than 

C-1

 

$10 million
or are not on arm's length terms and conditions, or (ii) receives any (a) compensation not related to full time employment by the Company or any of its subsidiaries or
(b) loan, guarantee or tax benefit; or 

	•
	the
securities of the Company are reclassified, the Company is recapitalized or undergoes a merger with one of its subsidiaries while an Acquiring Person exists; 

each
holder of a Right would thereafter have the right to receive, upon exercise, Units of Preferred Stock (or, in certain circumstances, cash, property or other securities of the Company) having a
value equal to two times the exercise price of the Right. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, following the occurrence of any of the events set forth in the bullets in this paragraph, all Rights
that are, or (under certain circumstances specified in the Rights Agreement) were, beneficially owned by any Acquiring Person will be null and void. 

        For
example, at an exercise price of $200 per Unit, each Right not owned by an Acquiring Person (or by certain related parties) following an event set forth in the preceding paragraph
would entitle its holder to purchase $400 worth of Units of Preferred Stock (or other consideration, as noted above) for $200. Assuming that one Unit of our Preferred Stock had a per share value of
$25 at such time, the holder of each valid Right would be entitled to purchase 16 Units of Preferred Stock, equivalent to 16 shares of Common stock, for $200. 

        In
the event that, at any time following the occurrence of a Share Acquisition Date, (i) we are acquired in a merger or other business combination transaction in which we are not
the surviving corporation (other than a merger that follows an offer for all outstanding shares of common stock that our board of directors determines to be fair and otherwise in the best interests of
the Company and its stockholders), or (ii) 50% or more of our assets, cash flow or earning power is sold or transferred, each holder of a Right (except Rights that previously have been
exercised or voided) would have the right to receive, upon exercise, common stock of the acquiring company having a value equal to two times the exercise price of the Right. 

        At
any time after a person or group becomes an Acquiring Person and prior to the acquisition by such person or group of 50% or more of the outstanding common stock, our board of
directors may exchange the Rights (other than Rights that are owned by the Acquiring Person and have become void), in whole or in part, at an exchange ratio of one share of common stock, or one
one-thousandth of a share of Preferred Stock (or of a share of a class or series of our preferred stock having equivalent rights, preferences and privileges), per Right (subject to
adjustment). 

        At
any time until the occurrence of a Distribution Date, our board of directors may order the Company to redeem the Rights in whole, but not in part, at a price of $0.01 per Right
(payable in cash, common stock or other consideration deemed appropriate by the board). Immediately upon the action of the board ordering redemption of the Rights, the Rights will terminate and the
only right of the holders of Rights will be to receive the $0.01 redemption price. 

        Until
a Right is exercised, the holder of a Right will have, by virtue of ownership of the Right, no rights as a stockholder of the Company, including, without limitation, any right to
vote or to receive dividends. While the distribution of the Rights will not be taxable to stockholders or to the Company, stockholders may, depending upon the circumstances, recognize taxable income
in the event that the Rights become exercisable for Preferred Stock (or other consideration) of the Company or for common stock of the acquiring company. 

        Any
of the provisions of the Rights Agreement may be amended by action of our board of directors prior to the time a person or group becomes an Acquiring Person. Thereafter, the
provisions of the Rights Agreement may be amended by our board of directors in order to cure any ambiguity, to make changes that do not adversely affect the interests of holders of Rights, or to
shorten or lengthen any time period under the Rights Agreement. 

        A
copy of the Rights Agreement has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission as an exhibit to a Current Report on Form 8-K. A copy of the Rights Agreement
is available free of charge from the Company. This summary description of the Rights does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the actual terms and provisions of
the Rights Agreement, which is incorporated herein by reference.

shall conduct an appraisal of the Mortgaged Property and (i) if the Bank is
satisfied, in its reasonable judgment, that the aggregate principal amount of
the Term Loans then outstanding does not exceed 45% of the Appraised Value of
the Mortgaged Property at such time, the Bank shall so notify the Borrower; and
(ii) in the event the aggregate principal amount of the Term Loans then
outstanding exceeds 45% of the Appraised Value of the Mortgaged Property, the
Borrower shall, within five Business Days of written notification from the Bank

         (d) COMPUTATION OF INTEREST. Interest on all Obligations shall be

to convert all or any part of outstanding LIBOR Loans to Prime Rate Loans, or
(2) continue all or any part of outstanding LIBOR Loans as LIBOR Loans, and the
succeeding Interest Period of such continued LIBOR Loans shall commence on last
day of the then current Interest Period; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, no outstanding Term
Loan (or portion thereof) may be continued as, or be converted into, a LIBOR
Loan if (x) the continuation of, or the conversion into, would violate any of
the provisions of this Section 2.4 or (y) an Event of Default or Default has
occurred and is continuing.

         (ii) To convert or continue all or any part of any Term Loan (or
portion thereof) under Section 2.4(a)(i), the Borrower shall deliver a Notice of

continuation of, any Term Loan (or any portion thereof) (or telephonic notice in
lieu thereof) shall be irrevocable, and the Borrower shall be bound to convert
or continue in accordance therewith.

                                                                  EXECUTION COPY

         (b) CHANGES; LEGAL RESTRICTIONS. If after the date hereof the Bank
determines that the adoption or implementation of or any change in or in the
interpretation or administration of any law or regulation or any guideline or
request from any central bank or other Governmental Authority or
quasi-governmental authority exercising jurisdiction, power or control over the
Bank or over banks or financial institutions generally (whether or not having
the force of law), compliance with which, in each case after the date hereof:

         (i) subjects the Bank to charges (other than Taxes) in respect of the
Term Loans or in respect of the Bank's Incremental Term Loan Commitment or
changes the basis of taxation of payments to the Bank of principal, fees,
interest, or any other amount payable hereunder with respect to LIBOR Loans; or

         (ii) imposes, modifies, or holds applicable, any reserve (other than
reserves taken into account in calculating the LIBOR), special deposit,
compulsory loan, FDIC insurance or similar requirement against assets held by,
or deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances or loans by,
commitments made, or other credit extended by, or any other acquisition of funds
by, the Bank;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to the Bank of
making, converting or continuing any portion of a Term Loan as a LIBOR Loan, or
reduce any amount receivable thereunder; then, in such case, the Borrower shall,
within fourteen (14) days after written demand by the Bank, pay to the Bank from
time to time as specified by the Bank, such amount or amounts as may be
necessary to compensate the Bank (in the form of an increased rate of, or
different method of calculating, interest or otherwise) for any such additional
cost incurred or reduced amount received. Such demand shall be accompanied by a
statement as to the amount of such compensation and include a summary of the
basis for such demand (it being agreed that such summary, showing in reasonable
detail the basis for the calculation of such compensation, shall, absent clearly
demonstrable error, be final and conclusive and binding on the Borrower).

         (c) CONFIRMATION OF LIBOR. Upon the reasonable request of the Borrower
from time to time, the Bank shall promptly provide to the Borrower such
information with respect to the applicable LIBOR as may be so requested.

         (d) INTEREST RATE UNASCERTAINABLE, INADEQUATE OR UNFAIR. In the event
that at least one (1) Business Day before any Interest Period in which any Term
Loan (or portion thereof) is to be converted into, or made or continued as, a
LIBOR Loan:

         (i) the Bank determines that adequate and fair means do not exist for
ascertaining the applicable interest rates by reference to which the LIBOR then
being determined is to be fixed; or

         (ii) the Bank determines that Dollar deposits in the outstanding
principal amount of any portion of a Term Loan at such time are not generally
available in the London interbank market for a period equal to such proposed
Interest Period;

                                       19

                                                                  EXECUTION COPY

then the Bank shall forthwith give written notice thereof to the Borrower,
whereupon (until the Bank notifies the Borrower that the circumstances giving
rise to such suspension no longer exist) the right of the Borrower to elect to
have such Term Loan (or portion thereof) bear interest based upon the LIBOR
shall be suspended and any LIBOR Loan shall be converted into a Prime Rate Loan
on the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor.

         (e) ILLEGALITY. (i) If at any time the Bank determines (which
determination shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding
upon all parties) that the conversion into, or the making or continuation of, a
LIBOR Loan has become unlawful or impermissible by compliance by the Bank with
any law, governmental rule, regulation or order of any Governmental Authority
(whether or not having the force of law and whether or not failure to comply
therewith would be unlawful or would result in costs or penalties), then, and in
any such event, the Bank may give notice of that determination, in writing, to
the Borrower.

         (ii) When notice is given by the Bank under this Section, the
Borrower's right to request from the Bank and the Bank's obligation, if any, to
make, convert or continue any Term Loan (or a portion thereof) as a LIBOR Loan
shall be immediately suspended, and the Borrower shall immediately, or if
permitted by applicable law, no later than the date permitted thereby, upon at
least one (1) Business Day's prior written notice to the Bank, convert any LIBOR
Loan into a Prime Rate Loan.

         (iii) If at any time after the Bank gives notice under this Section the
Bank determines that it may lawfully make LIBOR Loans, the Bank shall promptly
give notice of that determination, in writing, to the Borrower. The Borrower's
right to request, and the Bank's obligation, if any, to convert to or make or
continue a LIBOR Loan shall thereupon be restored.

         (f) COMPENSATION. In addition to all amounts required to be paid by the
Borrower pursuant to this Agreement, the Borrower shall compensate the Bank,
within fourteen (14) days after written demand by the Bank, for all losses,
expenses and liabilities (including, without limitation, any loss or expense
incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds
acquired by the Bank to fund or maintain the LIBOR Loans to the Borrower) which
the Bank may sustain (i) if for any reason a Borrowing, conversion into, or
continuation of LIBOR Loans does not occur on a date specified therefor in a
Notice of Borrowing or a Notice of Conversion/Continuation given by the Borrower
or in a telephonic request by it for borrowing or conversion/continuation or a
successive Interest Period does not commence after notice therefor is given
pursuant to this Section 2.4, including, without limitation, pursuant to Section
2.4(d), (ii) if for any reason a LIBOR Loan is prepaid (including, without
limitation, mandatorily pursuant to Section 2.6) on a date which is not the last
day of the applicable Interest Period, (iii) as a consequence of a required
conversion of a LIBOR Loan to a Prime Rate Loan as a result of any of the events
indicated in Section 2.4(d) or (e), or (iv) as a consequence of any failure by
the Borrower to repay the any LIBOR Loan when required by the terms hereof. The
Bank shall deliver to the Borrower concurrently with such demand a written
statement in reasonable detail as to such losses, expenses and liabilities, and
this statement shall be conclusive as to the amount of compensation due to the
Bank, absent manifest error.

disbursements and reasonable fees of outside legal counsel to the Bank and (ii)

shall pay to the Bank on the Extension Date, a maturity extension fee equal to
fifteen one-hundredths of one percent (0.15%) of the aggregate principal amount
of the Term Loans outstanding at such time plus any and all out-of-pocket costs
and expenses of the Bank (including, without limitation, (i) disbursements and
reasonable legal fees of outside legal counsel to the Bank and (ii) expenses
incurred by the Bank in connection with any appraisal of, or updates to title
insurance in respect of, the Mortgaged Property initiated pursuant to such
extension of the Maturity Date provided that such appraisal costs shall not
exceed $10,000) incurred by the Bank in connection with the extension of the
Maturity Date.

         (c) CALCULATION AND PAYMENT OF FEES. The Fees shall be calculated on
the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in a 360-day year. All Fees shall

Account in accordance with Section 2.7 except as otherwise provided by the Bank

SECTION 2.6.             REDUCTION OF THE COMMITMENT; PREPAYMENTS.

         (a) VOLUNTARY REDUCTIONS. The Borrower, upon at least three (3)
Business Days' prior written notice to the Bank, shall have the right, from time
to time, to terminate in whole or permanently reduce in part the Incremental
Term Loan Commitment. Any partial reduction of the Incremental Term Loan
Commitment shall be in an aggregate minimum amount of $500,000 and integral
multiples of $100,000 in excess of that amount. Any notice of termination or
reduction given to the Bank under this Section shall specify the date (which

partial reduction, the aggregate principal amount thereof.

         (b) VOLUNTARY PREPAYMENTS. Subject to this Section, the Borrower may,
at its option, at any time or from time to time, prepay the Term Loans in whole

SECTION 2.7.             MANNER OF PAYMENT.

         (a) Except as otherwise expressly provided, the Borrower shall make
each payment under the Loan Documents to the Bank in Dollars and in immediately
available funds, without any deduction whatsoever, including any deduction for
any setoff, recoupment, counterclaim or Taxes, by depositing such payment in the
account specified by the Bank from time to time not later than 10:00 a.m. (Los
Angeles time) on the due date thereof. Any payments received after 10:00 a.m.
(Los Angeles time) on any Business Day shall be deemed received on the next
succeeding Business Day.

         (b) PAYMENTS ON NON-BUSINESS DAYS. Whenever any payment to be made
hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, such payment shall
instead be made on the next succeeding Business Day, together with interest
accrued during the period of such extension.

         (c) APPLICATION OF PAYMENTS. (i) Subject to the provisions of paragraph
(ii) below and except as otherwise provided herein, all payments in respect of
the Term Loans shall be applied FIRST to outstanding Prime Rate Loans and then
to outstanding LIBOR Loans, in each case, in the inverse order of termination of
Interest Periods applicable thereto.

         (ii) After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of
Default, the Bank may, and shall upon the acceleration of the Obligations, apply
all payments in respect of any Obligations and all proceeds of Collateral in the
following order:

                  (A) FIRST, to pay Obligations in respect of any expense
reimbursements, indemnities and other similar amounts then due to the Bank,
including without limitation, any amounts in respect of cash management services
provided to the Borrower and its Subsidiaries by the Bank in connection with
this Agreement;

                  (B) SECOND, to pay Obligations in respect of any Fees then due
to the Bank;

                  (C) THIRD, to pay interest due in respect of the Term Loans;
and

                  (D) FOURTH, to pay or prepay principal outstanding on Term
Loans.

         The order of priority set forth above may at any time and from time to
time be changed by the Bank without necessity of notice to or consent of or
approval by the Borrower or any other Person.

         (d) PAYMENTS SET ASIDE. To the extent the Bank receives payment of any
amount under the Loan Documents, whether by way of payment by the Borrower,
setoff, as proceeds of Collateral or otherwise, which payment is subsequently
invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to
be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any bankruptcy law,
other law or equitable cause, in whole or in part, then, to the extent of such
payment received, the Obligations or part thereof intended to be satisfied
thereby shall be

                                       22

<Page>

                                                                  EXECUTION COPY

revived and continue in full force and effect, together with all Collateral
security therefor, as if such payment had not been received by the Bank.

         (e) AUTOMATIC DEBIT. The Borrower authorizes the Bank to collect all
principal, interest and fees due under this Agreement and any other Loan
Document by charging Borrower's demand deposit account number 4375-672300 with
the Bank, or any other demand deposit account maintained by the Borrower with
the Bank, for the full amount thereof. Should there be insufficient funds in any
such demand deposit account to pay all such sums when due, the full amount of
such deficiency shall be immediately due and payable by the Borrower.

SECTION 2.8.             REGULATORY CHANGES.

         (a) CAPITAL COSTS. If a Regulatory Change regarding capital adequacy
(including the adoption or becoming effective of any treaty, law, rule,
regulation or guideline adopted pursuant to or arising out of the July 1988
report of the Basle Committee on Banking Regulations and Supervisory Practices
entitled "International Convergence of Capital Measurement and Capital
Standards") has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the
capital of or maintained by the Bank or any company controlling the Bank as a
consequence of any Term Loan (or portion thereof) or other obligations hereunder
and other commitments of this type to a level below that which the Bank or
company could have achieved but for such Regulatory Change (taking into account
the Bank's or company's policies with respect to capital adequacy), then the
Borrower shall from time to time pay to the Bank, within 10 days after request
by the Bank, such additional amounts as the Bank determines to be sufficient to
compensate the Bank or company for such reduction in return, to the extent the
Bank or such company determines such reduction to be attributable to the
existence, issuance or maintenance of any Term Loan (or a portion thereof) or
other obligations for the account of the Borrower. Such demand shall be
accompanied by a statement as to the amount of such compensation and include a
summary of the basis for such demand (it being agreed that such summary, showing
in reasonable detail the basis for the calculation of such compensation, shall,
absent clearly demonstrable error, be final and conclusive and binding on the
Borrower).

         (b) TAXES. (i) If the Borrower is required by Applicable Law to make
any deduction or withholding in respect of any Taxes (other than Excluded Taxes)
from any amount payable under any Loan Document to or for the account of the
Bank, the Borrower shall pay to or for the account of the Bank, on the date such
amount is payable, such additional amounts as the Bank reasonably determines may
be necessary so that the net amounts received by it or for its account, in the
aggregate, after all applicable deductions or withholdings, shall equal the
amount that the Bank would have been entitled to receive if no deductions or
withholdings were made. "Excluded Taxes" means, with respect to any payment to
the Bank, any taxes imposed on or measured by the overall net income (including
a franchise tax based on net income) of the Bank by the jurisdiction in which it
is incorporated, maintains its principal executive office or in which its
agent's office is located.

         (ii) If the Bank is required by law to make any payment on account of
Taxes (other than Excluded Taxes) on or in relation to any sum received or
receivable by it under any Loan

                                       23

<Page>

                                                                  EXECUTION COPY

Document, or any liability for Taxes (other than Excluded Taxes) in respect of
any such payment is imposed, levied or assessed against the Bank, then the
Borrower shall pay when due such additional amounts as the Bank reasonably
determines to be necessary so that the amount received by it, less any such
Taxes paid, imposed, levied or assessed, including any Taxes (other than
Excluded Taxes) imposed on such additional amounts, shall equal the amount that
the Bank would have been entitled to retain in the absence of the payment,
imposition, levy or assessment of such Taxes.

SECTION 2.9.             COLLATERAL.

         As security for all the Obligations, (a) the Borrower shall (i) grant
to the Bank a first priority Lien on the Mortgaged Property pursuant to the Deed
of Trust and (ii) grant to the Bank a first priority Lien on all the Capital
Stock of each of its Subsidiaries pursuant to the Borrower Pledge Agreement and
(b) Parent shall grant to the Bank a first priority Lien on all of the Capital
Stock of the Borrower pursuant to the Parent Pledge Agreement.

         All of the foregoing shall be evidenced by and subject to the terms of
such security agreements, financing statements, deeds of trust, assignments of
leases and rents and other documents as Bank shall reasonably require, all in
form and substance satisfactory to Bank. Borrower shall reimburse Bank
immediately upon demand for all out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by
Bank in connection with any of the foregoing security, including without
limitation, filing and recording fees and out-of-pocket costs of appraisals,
audits and title insurance.

SECTION 2.10.            GUARANTIES.

         The Obligations of the Borrower to the Bank shall be guaranteed in full
by LA Turf Club as evidenced by and subject to the terms of the Subsidiary
Guaranty.

                                   ARTICLE III

                         REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

         The Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries is a corporation duly
organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its
jurisdiction of organization, and has all requisite corporate power and
authority and the legal right to own and operate its properties, to carry on its
business as heretofore conducted and as proposed to be conducted, to enter into
the Loan Documents to which it is a party and to carry out the transactions
contemplated thereby. The Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries is duly
qualified to do business and in good standing

                                       24

                                                                  EXECUTION COPY

in each jurisdiction in which it owns or operates any material property or
conducts any business or in which it otherwise is required by law to be so
qualified, except any jurisdictions where any failure to be so qualified,
individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect.

SECTION 3.2.             AUTHORIZATION, BINDING EFFECT, NO CONFLICTS.

         (a) AUTHORIZATION. The execution, delivery and performance by the
Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries of each Loan Document to which they are a
party have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or other action on
the part of such Person. Each such Loan Document has been duly executed and
delivered by the Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries party thereto and is the
legal, valid and binding obligation of such Person, enforceable against it in
accordance with its terms, except as enforcement may be limited by equitable
principles and by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar
laws relating to creditors' rights generally.

         (b) NO CONFLICT. The execution, delivery and performance by any of the
Borrower or its Subsidiaries of each Loan Document to which they are a party,
and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby, do not (a)
violate any provision of the charter or other organizational documents of such
Person, (b) except for consents that have been obtained and are in full force
and effect, conflict with, result in a breach of, or constitute (or, with the
giving of notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute) a default under, or
require the approval or consent of any Person pursuant to, any Contractual
Obligation of the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or violate any Applicable
Law binding on the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, except where such
violation, conflict, breach, or default could not reasonably be expected,
individually or in the aggregate, to have a Material Adverse Effect, or (c)
result in the creation or imposition of any Lien upon any asset of the Borrower
or any of its Subsidiaries, or any income or profits therefrom, except for Liens
in favor of the Bank under the Loan Documents.

         (c) GOVERNMENTAL APPROVALS. Except for filings and recordings in
connection with the perfection of Liens created by the Loan Documents, no
Governmental Approval is or will be required in connection with the execution,
delivery and performance by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries of any Loan
Document to which it is a party or the transactions contemplated thereby or to

purchase any such Capital Stock, or any

                                                                  EXECUTION COPY

         Except as disclosed in Schedule 3.4, there are no actions, suits or
proceedings pending or, to the knowledge of the Borrower, threatened against or
affecting the Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their properties that
(a) if adversely determined, individually or in the aggregate, could have a
Material Adverse Effect, or (b) draws into question the validity, legality or
enforceability of any Loan Document or any transaction contemplated thereby.

SECTION 3.5.             CORRECTNESS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENT.

         The internally prepared consolidated financial statement of the
Borrower and its Subsidiaries dated June 30, 2004, a true copy of which has been
delivered by the Borrower to the Bank prior to the date hereof, (a) is complete
and correct and presents fairly the financial condition of the Borrower and its
Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis and (b) has been prepared in accordance
with GAAP consistently applied. Since the date of such financial statement there

Subsidiaries are in material compliance with all Applicable Laws and the use of
the Track and operation of the Racetrack Business are in material compliance

knowledge of the Borrower, there have not been asserted or proposed to be

         Except as disclosed in Schedule 3.12, neither the Borrower nor any of

restrictions, reciprocal easement agreements and similar instruments are in
form, scope and substance acceptable to the Bank in its reasonable discretion;
and, in connection with such instruments, the Bank agrees to consent to, and

the Lien of the Deed of Trust to such covenants, conditions and restrictions,
reciprocal easement agreements and similar instruments, provided that the Bank
shall have received evidence (including, without limitation, title endorsements)
that the Lien and priority of the Deed of Trust shall otherwise remain
unimpaired and unaffected by such subordination; and

                  (iii) an Affiliate of the Borrower (other than the Borrower or

SECTION 8.12.            ARBITRATION.

         (a) ARBITRATION. Upon the demand of any party, any Dispute shall be
resolved by binding arbitration (except as set forth in (e) below) in accordance
with the terms of this Agreement. A "Dispute" shall mean any action, dispute,
claim or controversy of any kind, whether in contract or tort, statutory or
common law, legal or equitable, now existing or hereafter arising under or in
connection with, or in any way pertaining to, any of the Loan Documents, or any
past, present or future extensions of credit and other activities, transactions
or obligations of any kind related directly or indirectly to any of the Loan
Documents, including without limitation, any of the foregoing arising in
connection with the exercise of any self-help, ancillary or other remedies
pursuant to any of the Loan Documents. Any party may by summary proceedings
bring an action in court to compel arbitration of a Dispute. Any party who fails
or refuses to submit to arbitration following a lawful demand by any other party
shall bear all costs and expenses incurred by such other party in compelling
arbitration of any Dispute.

         (b) GOVERNING RULES. Arbitration proceedings shall be administered by
the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") or such other administrator as the
parties shall mutually agree upon in accordance with the AAA Commercial
Arbitration Rules. All Disputes submitted to arbitration shall be resolved in
accordance with the Federal Arbitration Act (Title 9 of the United States Code),
notwithstanding any conflicting choice of law provision in any of the Loan
Documents. The arbitration shall be conducted at a location in California
selected by the AAA or other administrator. If there is any inconsistency
between the terms hereof and any such rules, the terms and procedures set forth
herein shall control. All statutes of limitation applicable to any Dispute shall
apply to any arbitration proceeding. All discovery activities shall be expressly
limited to matters directly relevant to the Dispute being arbitrated. Judgment
upon any award rendered in an arbitration may be entered in any court having
jurisdiction; PROVIDED HOWEVER, that nothing contained herein shall be deemed to
be a waiver by any party that is a bank of the protections afforded to it under
12 U.S.C. section 91 or any similar applicable state law.

         (c) NO WAIVER; PROVISIONAL REMEDIES, SELF-HELP AND FORECLOSURE. No
provision hereof shall limit the right of any party to exercise self-help
remedies such as setoff, foreclosure against or sale of any real or personal
property collateral or security, or to obtain provisional or ancillary remedies,
including without limitation injunctive relief, sequestration, attachment,
garnishment or the appointment of a receiver, from a court of competent
jurisdiction before, after or during the pendency of any arbitration or other
proceeding. The exercise of any such remedy shall not waive the right of any
party to compel arbitration or reference hereunder.

         (d) ARBITRATOR QUALIFICATIONS AND POWERS; AWARDS. Arbitrators must be
active members of the California State Bar or retired judges of the state or
federal judiciary of California, with expertise in the substantive laws
applicable to the subject matter of the Dispute. Arbitrators are empowered to
resolve Disputes by summary rulings in response to motions filed prior to the
final arbitration hearing. Arbitrators (i) shall resolve all Disputes in
accordance with the substantive law of the state of California, (ii) may grant
any remedy or relief that a court of the state of California could order or
grant within the scope hereof and such ancillary relief as is necessary to make
effective any award, and (iii) shall have the power to award recovery of all

                                                                  EXECUTION COPY

costs and fees, to impose sanctions and to take such other actions as they deem
necessary to the same extent a judge could pursuant to the Federal Rules of
Civil Procedure, the California Rules of Civil Procedure or other applicable
law. Any Dispute in which the amount in controversy is $5,000,000 or less shall
be decided by a single arbitrator who shall not render an award of greater than
$5,000,000 (including damages, costs, fees and expenses). By submission to a
single arbitrator, each party expressly waives any right or claim to recover
more than $5,000,000. Any Dispute in which the amount in controversy exceeds
$5,000,000 shall be decided by majority vote of a panel of three arbitrators;
PROVIDED HOWEVER, that all three arbitrators must actively participate in all
hearings and deliberations.

         (e) JUDICIAL REVIEW. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary,
in any arbitration in which the amount in controversy exceeds $25,000,000, the
arbitrators shall be required to make specific, written findings of fact and
conclusions of law. In such arbitrations (i) the arbitrators shall not have the
power to make any award which is not supported by substantial evidence or which
is based on legal error, (ii) an award shall not be binding upon the parties
unless the findings of fact are supported by substantial evidence and the
conclusions of law are not erroneous under the substantive law of the state of
California, and (iii) the parties shall have in addition to the grounds referred
to in the Federal Arbitration Act for vacating, modifying or correcting an award
the right to judicial review of (A) whether the findings of fact rendered by the
arbitrators are supported by substantial evidence, and (B) whether the
conclusions of law are erroneous under the substantive law of the state of
California. Judgment confirming an award in such a proceeding may be entered
only if a court determines the award is supported by substantial evidence and
not based on legal error under the substantive law of the state of California.

         (f) REAL PROPERTY COLLATERAL; JUDICIAL REFERENCE. Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, no Dispute shall be submitted to arbitration if
the Dispute concerns Indebtedness secured directly or indirectly, in whole or in
part, by any real property unless (i) the holder of the mortgage, lien or
security interest specifically elects in writing to proceed with the
arbitration, or (ii) all parties to the arbitration waive any rights or benefits
that might accrue to them by virtue of the single action rule statute of
California, thereby agreeing that all Indebtedness and obligations of the
parties, and all mortgages, liens and security interests securing such
Indebtedness and obligations, shall remain fully valid and enforceable. If any
such Dispute is not submitted to arbitration, the Dispute shall be referred to a
referee in accordance with California Code of Civil Procedure Section 638 et
seq., and this general reference agreement is intended to be specifically
enforceable in accordance with said Section 638. A referee with the
qualifications required herein for arbitrators shall be selected pursuant to the
AAA's selection procedures. Judgment upon the decision rendered by a referee
shall be entered in the court in which such proceeding was commenced in
accordance with California Code of Civil Procedure Sections 644 and 645.

         (g) MISCELLANEOUS. To the maximum extent practicable, the AAA, the
arbitrators and the parties shall take all action required to conclude any
arbitration proceeding within 180 days of the filing of the Dispute with the
AAA. No arbitrator or other party to an arbitration proceeding may disclose
the existence, content or results thereof, except for disclosures of

information by
a party required in the ordinary course of its business, by applicable law or
regulation, or to the extent necessary to exercise any judicial review rights
set forth herein. If more than one agreement for arbitration by or between the
parties potentially applies to a Dispute, the arbitration provision most
directly related to the Loan Documents or the subject matter of the Dispute
shall control. This arbitration provision shall survive termination, amendment
or expiration of any of the Loan Documents or any relationship between the
parties.

         Wherever possible, each provision of this Note shall be interpreted in
such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any
provision of this Note shall be prohibited or invalid under applicable law, such
provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity
without invalidating the remainder of such provision or remaining provisions of
this Note. No delay or failure on the part of the Bank in the exercise of any
right or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor as an
acquiescence in any default, nor shall any single or partial exercise by the
Bank of any right or remedy preclude any other right or remedy. The Bank, at its
option, may enforce its rights against any collateral securing this Note without
enforcing its rights against the Borrower, any guarantor of the indebtedness
evidenced hereby or any other property or indebtedness due or to become due to
the Borrower. The Borrower agrees that, without releasing or impairing the
Borrower's liability hereunder, the Bank may at any time release, surrender,
substitute or exchange any collateral securing this Note and may at any time
release any party primarily or secondarily liable for the indebtedness evidenced
by this Note.

         THIS NOTE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA.

         IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Borrower has caused this Note to be duly
executed and delivered on the date first above written.
