to Article 7.3. Should any guarantee or support undertaking be provided by a Party otherwise than severally by reference to Relevant Proportions, the relevant Parties shall indemnify and keep indemnified the other Party from and against its

Previous Shareholder is required to indemnify MOL as referred to in Article 7.2); and 

  

	 	(ii)	where such guarantee or support undertaking has been provided by MOL prior to the date hereof pursuant to MOL’s obligations under the Previous Shareholders’ Agreement, including under any of the Security

but those Relevant Proportions are such that each Shareholder (MOL and TLT’s shareholdings being taken together for this purpose and them being treated as a single Shareholder) has a 50% interest in the Shares of both Companies taken together),
the Shareholders (excluding TLT) shall attempt to agree within 30 days

Shares in a Company;

	13	TRANSFER OF SHARES - SYNDICATION OF OWNERSHIP INTERESTS 

  

	13.1	Unless otherwise mutually agreed by all Shareholders, sale or transfer of the Shares shall not take place except as provided in this Article 13. 

  
 11 

	13.2	A Shareholder (excluding TLT) intending to sell its Shares in either or both of the Companies (the “Withdrawing Shareholder”) shall give written notice (the “First Notice”) to
the other Shareholder(s) (excluding TLT) (the “Remaining Shareholder(s)”) of its intention to dispose of its Shares. In the event that MOL is the Withdrawing Shareholder, MOL shall be deemed to be exercising rights under this clause
in respect of Shares held by MOL and TLT and in the event that MOL transfers all or a proportion (the “MOL Proportion”) of its shareholding in a Company under this Article 13, TLT agrees to transfer its entire shareholding or the
MOL Proportion of its shareholding (as applicable) in that Company to such transferee on and subject to the same terms of sale as the MOL Shares are transferred. MOL shall be entitled to exercise (or not to exercise) TLT’s rights under this
Article in respect of all of the Shares held by TLT and any notices to be given to Shareholders under this Article shall be given to MOL for itself in respect of Shares held by MOL and on behalf of TLT in respect of Shares held by TLT. Within thirty
(30) days of issuing the First Notice, the Withdrawing Shareholder shall establish a fair cash price evaluation of its Shares at its own cost and expense as follows: 

 

	 	(A)	the Withdrawing Shareholder and the Remaining Shareholder(s) shall jointly select three (3) independent valuers chosen from internationally recognised LNG shipbrokers to prepare three (3) independent cash
price valuations of the applicable Vessel or, as the case may be, the Vessels (taking into account any employment) in the prevailing market conditions assuming a sale was to take place within ninety (90) days. 

 

	 	(B)	the average value of the applicable Vessel or, as the case may be, the Vessels (taking into account any employment) shall be determined from the average of the three (3) cash price valuations received from the
three (3) independent valuers chosen from internationally recognised LNG shipbrokers. Such average value shall represent an indicative fair cash price of the applicable Vessel or, as the case may be, the Vessels. In the event that the
Shareholders are unable to agree on the three valuers within 15 days, each Shareholder shall appoint its valuer and the average of the value assessed by these valuers shall be used as average value hereunder. 

 

	 	(C)	the value of the Company’s or, as the case may be, the Companies’ other assets and liabilities shall be assessed by the Company’s Auditor (acting as an expert and not as an arbitrator) adopting the
average value of the Vessels determined in Article 13.2 (B). 

  

	 	(D)	upon receipt of the three (3) independent valuations in Article 13.2(A) and the Company Auditor’s valuation in Article 13.2(C), the Withdrawing Shareholder shall give the Remaining Shareholder(s) a further
notice (the “Second Notice”) and at the same time forward to the Remaining Shareholder(s) the valuations referred to in Article 13.2(A) and (C). The Shareholders shall as soon as reasonably practicable after receipt of the Second
Notice, at mutually convenient times and locations, meet and negotiate in good faith for a period of ninety (90) days for the purpose of concluding the terms for a sale of the Shares of the Withdrawing Shareholder to one or more of the
Remaining Shareholders. If there is more than one Remaining Shareholder, each Remaining Shareholder shall have the right to purchase the number of the offered Shares calculated by expressing the relevant Remaining Shareholder’s shareholding
(expressed as a percentage of the total issued capital held by all Remaining Shareholders) in the Company or, as the case may be, the Companies as a percentage of the total number of offered Shares. 

  
 12 

	13.3	

  

	 	(A)	If after receipt of the Second Notice, no Remaining Shareholder meets with the Withdrawing Shareholder or in the event that the good faith negotiations in Article 13.2(D) have not resulted in the conclusion of terms for
a sale of the Shares of the Withdrawing Shareholder within the period referred to in Article 13.2(D), the Withdrawing Shareholder shall be entitled to proceed with the sale of its Shares to a third party. Once the Withdrawing Shareholder and a
proposed third party transferee (“Transferee”) have fully negotiated the final terms and conditions of a transfer such final terms and conditions and the identity of the Transferee shall be disclosed in detail to the Remaining
Shareholder(s) in a written notice (the “Third Notice”) by the Withdrawing Shareholder to the Remaining Shareholder(s). The Remaining Shareholder(s) shall have, and if more than one then each severally shall have: 

 

	 	(1)	a preferential right to acquire the Withdrawing Shareholder’s Shares on the same terms and conditions proposed by the Transferee (save that the only warranties to be given by the Withdrawing Shareholder in respect
of such shares would be warranties relating to title). The Remaining Shareholder(s) preferential right shall be exercised within thirty (30) days of receipt of the Third Notice by the Remaining Shareholder(s) delivering to all other
Shareholders written notice of its intention to accept the same terms and conditions of the proposed transfer to the third party without reservations or conditions (the “Acceptance”); and 

 

	 	(2)	a right to sell its Shares to the Withdrawing Shareholder at the same price set out in the Third Notice. The Remaining Shareholder(s) right shall be exercised within thirty (30) days of receipt of the Third Notice
by the Remaining Shareholder(s) exercising the right to sell its Shares (the “Issuing Shareholder(s)”) delivering to all other Shareholders written notice (the “Buy Out Notice”) to all Shareholders of the Issuing
Shareholder(s) election to sell its Shares to the Withdrawing Shareholder. Once the Buy Out Notice is issued, the Withdrawing Shareholder shall be obliged to purchase the Issuing Shareholder(s) Shares, at the price stated in the Third Notice, for
value within sixty (60) days of the date of the Buy Out Notice. The sale by the Issuing Shareholder pursuant to this Article 13.3 (A)(2) shall not be subject to any pre-emption rights of any Shareholder. 

 

	 	(B)	If no Acceptance or Buy Out Notice is delivered by the Remaining Shareholder(s) within thirty (30) days of the receipt of the Third Notice, the Withdrawing Shareholder shall be entitled to proceed with the sale to
the proposed third party transferee, subject to compliance with the other provisions of this Shareholders’ Agreement, under terms and conditions no more favourable to the proposed third party transferee than those set forth in the Third Notice
to the Remaining Shareholder(s), provided that the transfer to the proposed third party transferee shall be concluded within ninety (90) days from the date of the Third Notice plus such reasonable additional period not to exceed thirty
(30) days as may be required to secure the written approval of the Charterer and any mortgagee(s) of the Vessel(s); 

  
 13 

	 	(C)	If more than one Remaining Shareholder issues an Acceptance to acquire the Withdrawing Party’s Shares under Article 13.3(A), then each such Remaining Shareholder may acquire a proportion of the Withdrawing
Shareholder’s Shares equal to the ratio that its own shareholding (expressed as a percentage of the total issued capital in the Company held by all Remaining Shareholders) bears to the total number of Withdrawing Party’s Shares on offer,
unless the Remaining Shareholders otherwise agree amongst themselves; and 

  

	 	(D)	In the event that the Withdrawing Shareholder’s proposed transfer to the third party of part or all of its Shares involves consideration other than cash or involves other assets included in a wider transaction (a
“Package Deal”), then the Withdrawing Shareholder’s Shares shall be allocated a reasonable and justifiable cash value by the Withdrawing Shareholder in the Third Notice to the Remaining Shareholder(s) to reflect the value of
the Shares in the package deal to the proposed third party transferee. The Remaining Shareholder(s) may exercise their pre-emption rights in Article 13.3(A) by issuing either (i) an Acceptance agreeing to pay the cash value stated in lieu of
the Package Deal consideration in the Third Notice or (ii) a Buy Out Notice at the cash value stated in lieu of the Package Deal consideration in the Third Notice. 

 

	13.4	Any sale of Shares pursuant to the above provision of this Article 13 shall be subject to the written approval of the Charterer and any mortgagee(s) of the Vessel(s), if required and also subject to the purchaser
of the Shares entering into a deed of accession to this Shareholders’ Agreement on terms acceptable to the Company and the other Shareholder. 

  

	13.5	A Shareholder (including, for the avoidance of doubt, TLT) shall have the right to sell, transfer or assign its Shares (or a part thereof) in either or both of the Companies to a Permitted Transferee subject to
the consent of the other Shareholder(s), which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld. The Shareholder intending to transfer its Shares (or part thereof) (the “Transferor Shareholder”) to the Permitted Transferee shall at the
time of its request for the consent of the other Shareholder(s) (the “Consenting Shareholder(s)”) provide documentation to the reasonable satisfaction of the Consenting Shareholder(s) of the Permitted Transferee’s financial
ability to meet payment obligations and liabilities under this Shareholders’ Agreement and demonstrating that the Permitted Transferee has the technical and managerial resources to discharge its obligations if it were a Shareholder. It shall be
deemed reasonable grounds to withhold consent to any sale, transfer or assignment to a Permitted Transferee if either: 

  

	 	(i)	the Consenting Shareholder(s) is or are not satisfied as to the financial standing of the proposed Permitted Transferee; or 

  

	 	(ii)	the Consenting Shareholder(s) is or are not satisfied as to the management or technical resources available to the Permitted Transferee to discharge its obligations under this Shareholders Agreement. 

Any consent given by the Consenting Shareholder(s) shall be subject to the written approval of any mortgagee(s) of the Vessel(s) if required
and also subject to the Transferor Shareholder and the Permitted Transferee entering into a deed of accession to this Shareholders’ Agreement on terms acceptable to the Company and the other Shareholders before any such share transfer shall
become effective. 

  
 14 

	13.6	In the event of a sale, transfer or assignment of Shares hereunder, all costs incurred by the Withdrawing Shareholder(s), Remaining Shareholder(s), Consenting Shareholder(s) or Issuing Shareholder(s) as
applicable in relation to the transaction, including all legal and financial costs, break costs and other costs (inclusive of VAT), (collectively the “Costs”) shall be borne and paid for as follows: 

 

	 	(i)	the Withdrawing Shareholder shall pay the Remaining Shareholder(s) Costs if the terms of sale are concluded during the ninety (90) day period after the receipt of the Second Notice under Article 13.2(D);

  

	 	(ii)	the Withdrawing Shareholder shall pay the Remaining Shareholder(s) Costs if any Acceptance is issued under Article 13.3(A)(1) by any Remaining Shareholder(s); 

 

	 	(iii)	the Withdrawing Shareholder shall pay the Remaining Shareholder(s) Costs if a Buy Out Notice is delivered in accordance with Article 13.3(A)(2) by the Issuing Shareholder(s). The Issuing Shareholder(s) shall bear their
own cost of such sale; and 

  

	 	(iv)	the Transferor Shareholder shall pay the Consenting Shareholder(s) Costs in respect of any transaction in accordance with Article 13.5. 

 

	13.7	Where there is a Change in Control of a Permitted Transferee which has received from the Transferor Shareholder Shares under Article 13.5, the following provisions shall apply as between the Permitted Transferee
and the Remaining Shareholder(s) from the date the Permitted Transferee signs and delivers unconditionally the deed of accession to this Shareholders’ Agreement: 

 

	 	(i)	the Permitted Transferee shall be obliged to notify the Remaining Shareholder(s) of any Change in Control of the Permitted Transferee; 

 

	 	(ii)	on the date of the Permitted Transferee’s notice under Article 13.7(A) or in the event of a failure to give notice as soon as the Remaining Shareholder(s) become aware of a Change in Control of the Permitted
Transferee, the Permitted Transferee shall be deemed to have made an offer to sell its Shares to the Remaining Shareholder(s); 

  

	 	(iii)	the Permitted Transferee and the Remaining Shareholder(s) shall, within thirty (30) days of the Remaining Shareholder(s) becoming aware of the Change in Control, at the Permitted Transferee’s expense, jointly
select three (3) independent valuers chosen from internationally recognised LNG shipbrokers to prepare three (3) independent cash price valuations of the applicable Vessel, or as the case may be, the Vessels (taking into account any
employment) in the prevailing market conditions assuming for, the purposes of the valuation that a sale was to take place within ninety (90) days; 

  

	 	(iv)	the average of the three (3) independent cash price valuations (the “Average Value”) shall for the purpose of determining the price of the Permitted Transferee’s Shares represent the cash
price of the applicable Vessel or, as the case may be, the Vessels. The cash price of the Permitted Transferee’s Shares shall be calculated by expressing the Permitted Transferee’s shareholding (expressed as a percentage of the total
issued capital in the Company held by all Remaining Shareholders) as a percentage and multiply that percentage by the Average Value. In the event that the Shareholders are unable to agree on the three valuers within fourteen (14) days, each
Shareholder shall appoint its valuer and the average of the value assessed by these valuers shall be used as average value; 

  

	 	(v)	the Permitted Transferee shall deliver copies of the three (3) independent cash price valuations. The Remaining Shareholders shall have thirty (30) days from the date of receipt by them of the three
(3) independent cash price valuations to accept or reject the Permitted Transferee’s offer to sell its Shares; and 

  

	 	(vi)	 if there is more than one Remaining Shareholder accepting the Permitted Transferee’s offer to sell its Shares then each such Remaining
Shareholder may acquire a proportion of the Permitted Transferee’s Shares equal to the ratio that its own shareholding (expressed as a percentage of the total issued capital in the

  
 15 

	 	
Company held by all Remaining Shareholders) bears to the total number of Permitted Transferee’s Shares, unless the Remaining Shareholders otherwise agree amongst themselves.

  

	13.8	Where MOL is the Withdrawing Shareholder, TLT shall indemnify MOL for such proportion of costs paid by MOL as TLT’s Shares bear to the total number of Shares transferred by MOL. 

 

	13.9	Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article 13, TLT shall be entitled to sell and MOL shall purchase, TLT’s shareholding in a Company at a price to be agreed between MOL and TLT at the relevant time
in the event that: 

  

	 	(i)	a board or shareholder resolution of the Company which, in TLT’s reasonable opinion, materially conflicts with one or more of the assumptions used by TLT in deciding to participate in the Neptune LNG Project is
passed; or 

  

	 	(ii)	there is in TLT’s reasonable opinion a material change in the business of the Company from that assumed by TLT in deciding to participate in the Neptune LNG Project; or 

 

	 	(iii)	such sale is required by, or TLT is prevented from maintaining its shareholding in a Company by, any securities exchange or regulatory or governmental body to which TLT is subject. 

In the event that the price to be paid for the Shares being transferred under Article 13.9 cannot be agreed between MOL and TLT within thirty
(30) days of TLT expressing its intention to sell its shareholding, then the procedure set out in Article 13.2 (A), (B) and (C) shall be employed in order to obtain a valuation. 

TLT shall exercise its right to sell its Shares under this Article 13.9 by giving written notice to MOL (the “TLT Sale
Notice”). Once the TLT Sale Notice has been given, MOL shall be obliged to purchase TLT’s Shares in the relevant Company at the price as determined above for value within ninety (90) days of the TLT Sale Notice. The sale by TLT
pursuant to this Article 13.9 shall not be subject to any pre-emption rights of any Shareholder. 
 In the event of a sale of Shares under
this Article 13.9, all Costs (as defined in Article 13.6) incurred by HLPO shall be borne and paid for by TLT or, if not paid for by TLT, by MOL. 
  

	13.10	Save as otherwise provided in this Agreement, where a Shareholder transfers any Shares under this Article 13 or otherwise under this Agreement, it shall also simultaneously transfer a corresponding proportion of its
Shareholder Loans made to the relevant Company at a price to be agreed between the transferor and the transferee. 

  

	14	PLEDGE OF SHARES 

  

	14.1	None of the Shareholders shall be entitled to pledge, charge, mortgage, encumber or hypothecate its Shares unless the pledgee undertakes to respect and be bound by the obligations of the pledgor as a Shareholder
and a party to this Shareholders’ Agreement as if they applied to the pledge. 

  

	14.2	Subject to the preceding paragraph, the Parties are permitted to pledge their Shares for the purpose of financing the Vessels. 

  
 16 

	15	TERMINATION 

 In the event that: 

 

	15.1	any of the Parties default in making any payments hereunder (including, without limitation, pursuant to Article 5.1) and such default continues for a period of fourteen (14) days after notice thereof has been given
to the defaulting Party; 

  

	15.2	any of the Parties default in any of its material duties and/or obligations hereunder (other than such default described under Article 15.1 above) (including, without limitation, pursuant to Article 7) which if
capable of remedy is not remedied to the satisfaction of the other Parties within thirty (30) days of giving notice thereof; 

  

	15.3	any of the Parties do any of the following: 

  

	 	(i)	apply for or appoint to it a receiver, trustee, liquidator of itself or any part of its assets (other than a voluntary liquidation for the purpose of amalgamation or reconstruction, the terms of which have been
previously approved by the other Shareholders in writing); 

  

	 	(ii)	stop or threaten to stop payment or cease to carry on its business or substantially the whole of its business; 

  

	 	(iii)	make a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors; 

  

	 	(iv)	go into liquidation or be adjudicated bankrupt or insolvent or commit an act of insolvency; 

  

	 	(A)	file a voluntary petition for its bankruptcy or petition of a re-organisation; 

  

	 	(B)	make any arrangement with creditors to take advantage of any insolvency law; or 

  

	 	(C)	anything analogous to the foregoing under the laws of the country of its incorporation; 

  

	15.4	a Change in Control shall occur in relation to any of the Parties, (the “Change in Control Party”) and the Person who has acquired or obtained a Controlling Interest in the Change of Control
Party is a major and direct competitor (in the LNG business) of any other Party such that it would be (as determined by the other Party; acting reasonably) commercially unfeasible for such other Party and the Change in Control Party to continue in
the joint venture constituted by this Shareholders’ Agreement, 

 (Shareholders in default under 15.1 or 15.2 above or
being in any such circumstance as described under 15.3 or 15.4 above hereinafter referred to as the “Affected Shareholder”) 
 then in such
event: 
  

	 	(i)	 if there are the same Shareholders in each Company and the Relevant Proportion of the ownership of the Shares in each Company (MOL and TLT’s
shareholdings being taken together for this purpose and them being treated as a single shareholder) is 50% (or if there are the same Shareholders in each Company and the ownership of the Shares in each Company is in different Relevant Proportions
but those Relevant Proportions are such that each Shareholder (MOL and TLT’s shareholdings being taken together for this purpose and them being treated as a single shareholder) has a 50% interest in the Shares of both Companies taken together),
the Shareholders shall attempt to agree within 30 days that their 

  
 17 

	 	
shareholdings shall be exchanged so that MOL and TLT between them (in the proportions 97% and 3% respectively) acquire 100% of the Shares in a Company and HLPO acquires 100% of the Shares in a
Company; 

  

	 	(ii)	if the position in relation to the ownership of the Shares in both Companies is otherwise than described in (i) above or if agreement as described in (i) above is not achieved within 30 days, any Party other
than the Affected Shareholder shall be entitled to: 

  

	 	(A)	demand immediate termination of this Shareholders’ Agreement by reason thereof as regards the relevant Company or Companies and a liquidation of the relevant Company (if the Affected Shareholder is a Shareholder in
one Company only) or the Companies (if the Affected Shareholder is a Shareholder in both Companies) shall thereupon be effected as soon as all the obligations of the relevant Company or, as the case may be, each Company towards any third parties
have been fulfilled and have expired; or 

  

	 	(B)	purchase the Shares and the Shareholder Loan(s) of the Affected Shareholder in the relevant Company (if the Affected Shareholder is a Shareholder in one Company only) or the Companies (if the Affected Shareholder is a
Shareholder in both Companies) at a price based on a fair price evaluation by three independent evaluators who shall be appointed jointly by the parties. This pre-emption right is subject to a request for appointment of evaluators being made within
thirty (30) days from a written notice given to the other Parties stating that a default exists. The evaluators shall be chosen from internationally recognized LNG shipbrokers. The fair price evaluation of the Shares (in the relevant Company or
both Companies, as the case may be) is to be based on the total value of the relevant Company or the Companies, as the case may be. If the Parties cannot agree on the appointment of evaluators within thirty (30) days from receipt of such
notice, such appointment shall be made by the president of the London Maritime Arbitrators Association. The evaluators shall determine the fair price of the Shares (in the relevant Company, or both Companies, as the case may be) within ninety
(90) days from the time of the notice stating the default. The fair price evaluation shall be established on the basis of cash payment against delivery of the Shares at the end of a one-hundred-and-fifty (150) day-period from the
aforementioned notice. However, if any of the other Parties does not find the price for the Shares (in the relevant Company or both Companies, as the case may be) based on the fair price evaluation acceptable, then the pre-emption rights may be
withdrawn in writing to the Affected Shareholder at the latest seven (7) days after notice has been provided that the fair price evaluation by the independent evaluators has not been accepted by the Parties and the Parties shall remain
Shareholders. Settlement shall take place at the latest one-hundred-and-fifty (150) day-period from the aforementioned notice. 

PROVIDED ALWAYS that such right of termination of this agreement shall be without prejudice to any other right which the other Parties may have
towards the Affected Shareholder in respect of such default and the termination or exercise of pre-emption rights shall thus take effect without prejudice to any rights accrued between the Parties. 

In the event of such default by a Party described under 15.1 above, the other Shareholders shall have the option to make the shortfall caused
by such default and to the extent a Shareholder shall remit such funds, it shall be entitled to an indemnity from the Affected Shareholder to include interest at the three month USD LIBOR rate at the relevant time plus two percent (2%) per
annum on the amount so paid, such interest to be calculated from the date of the default until payment by the Affected Shareholder.

stock exchange rule or any rule of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission or disclosure requirement to disclose any Confidential Information, the Recipient shall provide the Disclosing Party with prompt notice of such request or requirement as
far in advance of its disclosure as is reasonably practicable. The Recipient agrees to reasonably cooperate with the Disclosing Party to obtain a protective order or other appropriate remedy in order to limit such disclosure. 

 

	16.5	For the avoidance of doubt, no Party has disclosed or will disclose (nor is any Party obliged to disclose) to any other Party or any Company or any other Person information which is confidential in respect of LNG
projects other than the Neptune LNG Project. 

  

	16.6	In this Article 16 the expressions “Disclosing Party” and “Recipient” shall have the meanings given in the definition of “Confidential Information”. 

 

	17	REPLACEMENT AND EFFECTIVE TIME 

  

	17.1	This Shareholders’ Agreement shall be effective as from the time at which the shares representing the Previous Shareholders’ 50% holding in the share capital of each Company are transferred by the
Previous Shareholder to, and registered in the name of, HLPO, such time of the transfer by the Previous Shareholder to HLPO having been notified in writing by the Previous Shareholder to MOL and TLT, whereupon the Previous Shareholders’
