 REGISTRATION
RIGHTS 
 Section 2.01. Demand Registration. Upon the written request (a “Notice”) by MLP Holdco or by any
other Holder[s] owning at least ten percent (10%) of the then-outstanding Registrable Securities (subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 3.04), the Partnership shall file with the Commission, as soon as reasonably practicable,
but in no event more than 90 days following the receipt of the Notice, a registration statement (each, a “Registration Statement”) under the Securities Act providing for the resale of the Registrable Securities (which may, at the
option of the Holders giving such Notice, be a registration statement under the Securities Act that provides for the resale of the Registrable Securities pursuant to Rule 415 from time to time by the Holders (a “Shelf Registration
Statement”)). The Partnership shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause each Registration Statement to be declared effective by the Commission as soon as reasonably practicable after the initial filing of the Registration
Statement. Any Registration Statement shall provide for the resale pursuant to any method or combination of methods legally available to, and requested by, the Holders of any and all Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement. The
Partnership shall use its 

  
 3 

 
commercially reasonable efforts to cause each Registration Statement filed pursuant to this Section 2.01 to be continuously effective, supplemented and amended to the extent necessary
to ensure that it is available for the resale of all Registrable Securities by the Holders until all Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement have ceased to be Registrable Securities (the “Effectiveness
Period”). Each Registration Statement when effective (and the documents incorporated therein by reference) shall comply as to form in all material respects with all applicable requirements of the Securities Act and shall not contain an
untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading. There shall be no limit on the number of Registration Statements that may be required by
the Holders hereunder. 
 Section 2.02. Underwritten Offerings. 

(a) Request for Underwritten Offering. In the event that one or more Holders collectively elect to dispose of at least fifteen percent
(15%) of the then-outstanding Registrable Securities (subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 3.04) under a Registration Statement pursuant to an Underwritten Offering, the Partnership shall, upon written request by such Holders,
retain underwriters in order to permit such Holders to effect such sale through an Underwritten Offering. The obligation of the Partnership to retain underwriters shall include entering into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the
Managing Underwriter(s), which shall include customary indemnities in favor of, and taking all reasonable actions as are requested by, the Managing Underwriter(s) to expedite or facilitate the disposition of such Registrable Securities. The
Partnership shall, upon request of the Holders, cause its management to participate in a roadshow or similar marketing effort on behalf of the Holders. 

(b) Limitation on Underwritten Offerings. In no event shall the Partnership be required under Section 2.02(a) to
participate in more than two Underwritten Offerings in any twelve-month period. 
 (c) General Procedures. In connection with any
Underwritten Offering under this Agreement, the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities being sold in such Underwritten Offering shall be entitled, subject to the Partnership’s consent (which is not to be unreasonably withheld), to
select the Managing Underwriter(s). In connection with any Underwritten Offering under this Agreement, each Selling Holder and the Partnership shall be obligated to enter into an underwriting agreement that contains such representations and
warranties, covenants, indemnities and other rights and obligations as are customary in underwriting agreements for firm commitment offerings of securities. No Selling Holder may participate in such Underwritten Offering unless such Selling Holder
agrees to sell its Registrable Securities on the basis provided in such underwriting agreement and completes and executes all questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities and other documents reasonably required under the terms of such
underwriting agreement. Each Selling Holder may, at its option, require that any or all of the representations and warranties by, and the other agreements on the part of, the Partnership to and for the benefit of such underwriters also be made to
and for such Selling Holder’s benefit and that any or all of the conditions precedent to the obligations of such underwriters under such underwriting agreement also be conditions precedent to such Selling Holder’s obligations. If any
Selling Holder disapproves of the terms of an underwriting, such Selling Holder may elect to withdraw from the Underwritten Offering by notice to the 

  
 4 

 
Partnership and the Managing Underwriter(s); provided, however, that such withdrawal must be made at a time prior to the time of pricing of such Underwritten Offering. No such
withdrawal shall affect the Partnership’s obligation to pay Registration Expenses. 
 Section 2.03. Delay Rights. If the
General Partner determines that the Partnership’s compliance with its obligations under this Article II would be materially detrimental to the Partnership and its Partners because such registration would (a) materially interfere
with a significant acquisition, reorganization, financing or other similar transaction involving the Partnership, (b) require premature disclosure of material information that the Partnership has a bona fide business purpose for preserving as
confidential or (c) render the Partnership unable to comply with applicable securities laws, then the Partnership shall have the right to postpone compliance with its obligations under this Article II for a period of not more than three
months, provided, that such right pursuant to this Section 2.03 may not be utilized more than twice in any twelve-month period. 

Section 2.04. Sale Procedures. In connection with its obligations under this Article II, the Partnership will, as
expeditiously as possible: 
 (a) prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and supplements to each Registration Statement and
the prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep each Registration Statement effective for the Effectiveness Period and as may be necessary to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of
all Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement; 
 (b) if a prospectus supplement will be used in connection with the
marketing of an Underwritten Offering and the Managing Underwriter(s) notifies the Partnership in writing that, in the sole judgment of such Managing Underwriter(s), inclusion of detailed information in such prospectus supplement is of material
importance to the success of the Underwritten Offering of such Registrable Securities, use its commercially reasonable efforts to include such information in such prospectus supplement; 

(c) furnish to each Selling Holder (i) as far in advance as reasonably practicable before filing a Registration Statement or any
supplement or amendment thereto, upon request, copies of reasonably complete drafts of all such documents proposed to be filed (including exhibits and each document incorporated by reference therein to the extent then required by the rules and
regulations of the Commission), and provide each such Selling Holder the opportunity to object to any information pertaining to such Selling Holder and its plan of distribution that is contained therein and make the corrections reasonably requested
by such Selling Holder with respect to such information prior to filing a Registration Statement or supplement or amendment thereto, and (ii) such number of copies of such Registration Statement and the prospectus included therein and any
supplements and amendments thereto as such Persons may reasonably request in order to facilitate the public sale or other disposition of the Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement; 

(d) if applicable, use its commercially reasonable efforts to register or qualify the Registrable Securities covered by a Registration
Statement under the securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions as the Selling Holders or, in the case of an Underwritten Offering, the 

  
 5 

 
Managing Underwriter(s), shall reasonably request; provided, however, that the Partnership will not be required to qualify generally to transact business in any jurisdiction where
it is not then required to so qualify or to take any action that would subject it to general service of process in any jurisdiction where it is not then so subject; 

(e) promptly notify each Selling Holder and each underwriter, at any time when a prospectus is required to be delivered under the Securities
Act, of (i) the filing of a Registration Statement or any prospectus or prospectus supplement to be used in connection therewith, or any amendment or supplement thereto, and, with respect to such Registration Statement or any post-effective
amendment thereto, when the same has become effective; and (ii) any written comments from the Commission with respect to any filing referred to in clause (i) and any written request by the Commission for amendments or supplements to a
Registration Statement or any prospectus or prospectus supplement thereto; 
 (f) immediately notify each Selling Holder and each
underwriter, at any time when a prospectus is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, of (i) the happening of any event as a result of which the prospectus or prospectus supplement contained in a Registration Statement, as then in
effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading (in the case of the prospectus contained therein, in the
light of the circumstances under which a statement is made); (ii) the issuance or threat of issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement, or the initiation of any proceedings for that
purpose; or (iii) the receipt by the Partnership of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of any Registrable Securities for sale under the applicable securities or blue sky laws of any jurisdiction. Following the
provision of such notice, the Partnership agrees to, as promptly as practicable, amend or supplement the prospectus or prospectus supplement or take other appropriate action so that the prospectus or prospectus supplement does not include an untrue
statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances then existing and to take such other commercially
reasonable action as is necessary to remove a stop order, suspension, threat thereof or proceedings related thereto; 
 (g) upon request and
subject to appropriate confidentiality obligations, furnish to each Selling Holder copies of any and all transmittal letters or other correspondence with the Commission or any other governmental agency or self-regulatory body or other body having
jurisdiction (including any domestic or foreign securities exchange) relating to any offering of Registrable Securities; 
 (h) in the case
of an Underwritten Offering, furnish upon request, (i) an opinion of counsel for the Partnership dated the date of the closing under the underwriting agreement and (ii) a “cold comfort” letter, dated the pricing date of such
Underwritten Offering (to the extent available) and a letter of like kind dated the date of the closing under the underwriting agreement, in each case, signed by the independent public accountants who have certified the Partnership’s financial
statements included or incorporated by reference into the applicable registration statement, and each of the opinion and the “cold comfort” letter shall be in customary form and covering substantially the same matters with respect to such
registration 

  
 6 

 
statement (and the prospectus and any prospectus supplement included therein) as have been customarily covered in opinions of issuer’s counsel and in accountants’ letters delivered to
the underwriters in Underwritten Offerings of securities by the Partnership and such other matters as such underwriters and Selling Holders may reasonably request; 

(i) otherwise use its commercially reasonable efforts to comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the Commission, and make
available to its security holders, as soon as reasonably practicable, an earnings statement, which earnings statement shall satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158 promulgated thereunder; 

(j) make available to the appropriate representatives of the Managing Underwriter(s) and Selling Holders access to such information and
Partnership personnel as is reasonable and customary to enable such parties to establish a due diligence defense under the Securities Act; 

(k) cause all Registrable Securities registered pursuant to this Agreement to be listed on each securities exchange or nationally recognized
quotation system on which similar securities issued by the Partnership are then listed; 
 (l) use its commercially reasonable efforts to
cause the Registrable Securities to be registered with or approved by such other governmental agencies or authorities as may be necessary by virtue of the business and operations of the Partnership to enable the Selling Holders to consummate the
disposition of the Registrable Securities; 
 (m) provide a transfer agent and registrar for all Registrable Securities covered by a
Registration Statement not later than the effective date of such registration statement; and 
 (n) enter into customary agreements and take
such other actions as are reasonably requested by the Selling Holders or the underwriters, if any, in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities. 

Each Selling Holder, upon receipt of notice from the Partnership of the happening of any event of the kind described in subsection (f) of
this Section 2.04, shall forthwith discontinue disposition of the Registrable Securities by means of a prospectus or prospectus supplement until such Selling Holder’s receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus
contemplated by subsection (f) of this Section 2.04 or until it is advised in writing by the Partnership that the use of the prospectus may be resumed, and has received copies of any additional or supplemental filings incorporated
by reference in the prospectus. 
 Section 2.05. Cooperation by Holders. The Partnership shall have no obligation to include in
a Registration Statement, or in an Underwritten Offering pursuant to Section 2.02(a), Registrable Securities of a Selling Holder who has failed to timely furnish such information that the Partnership determines, after consultation with
counsel, is reasonably required in order for the Registration Statement or prospectus supplement, as applicable, to comply with the Securities Act. 

Section 2.06. Expenses. The Partnership will pay all reasonable Registration Expenses, including in the case of an Underwritten
Offering, regardless of whether any sale is made in such Underwritten Offering. Each Selling Holder shall pay all Selling Expenses in connection with 

  
 7 

 
any sale of its Registrable Securities hereunder. In addition, except as otherwise provided in Section 2.07, the Partnership shall not be responsible for legal fees incurred by
Holders in connection with the exercise of such Holders’ rights hereunder. 
 Section 2.07. Indemnification. 

(a) By the Partnership. In the event of a registration of any Registrable Securities under the Securities Act pursuant to this
Agreement, the Partnership will indemnify and hold harmless each Selling Holder participating therein, its directors, officers, employees and agents, and each Person, if any, who controls such Selling Holder within the meaning of the Securities Act
and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Exchange Act”), and its directors, officers, employees or agents, against any losses, claims, damages, expenses or
liabilities (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) (collectively, “Losses”), joint or several, to which such Selling Holder, director, officer, employee, agent or controlling Person may become subject under the
Securities Act, the Exchange Act or otherwise, insofar as such Losses (or actions or proceedings, whether commenced or threatened, in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material
fact (in the case of any prospectus or any Written Testing-the-Waters Communication, in the light of the circumstances under which such statement is made) contained in any Written Testing-the-Waters Communication, a Registration Statement, any
preliminary prospectus or prospectus supplement, free writing prospectus or final prospectus or prospectus supplement contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereof, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to
state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of a prospectus or any Written Testing-the-Waters Communication, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not
misleading, and will reimburse each such Selling Holder, its directors, officers, employee and agents, and each such controlling Person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any
such Loss or actions or proceedings as such expenses are incurred; provided, however, that the Partnership will not be liable in any such case if and to the extent that any such Loss arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or
alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission so made in conformity with information furnished by such Selling Holder, its directors, officers, employees and agents or such controlling Person in writing specifically for use in any Written
Testing-the-Waters Communication, a Registration Statement, or prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, as applicable. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of such
Selling Holder or any such directors, officers, employees agents or controlling Person, and shall survive the transfer of such securities by such Selling Holder. 

(b) By Each Selling Holder. Each Selling Holder agrees severally and not jointly to indemnify and hold harmless the Partnership, its
directors, officers, employees and agents and each Person, if any, who controls the Partnership within the meaning of the Securities Act or of the Exchange Act, and its directors, officers, employees and agents, to the same extent as the foregoing
indemnity from the Partnership to the Selling Holders, but only with respect to information regarding such Selling Holder furnished in writing by or on behalf of such Selling Holder expressly for inclusion in any Written Testing-the-Waters
Communication, a Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus or prospectus supplement, free writing prospectus or final 

  
 8 

 
prospectus or prospectus supplement contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereof; provided, however, that the liability of each Selling Holder shall not be greater in
amount than the dollar amount of the proceeds (net of any Selling Expenses) received by such Selling Holder from the sale of the Registrable Securities giving rise to such indemnification. 

(c) Notice. Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party hereunder of notice of the commencement of any action, such
indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party hereunder, notify the indemnifying party in writing thereof, but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve the indemnifying
party from any liability that it may have to any indemnified party other than under this Section 2.07. In any action brought against any indemnified party, the indemnified party shall notify the indemnifying party of the commencement
thereof. The indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate in and, to the extent it shall wish, to assume and undertake the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party and, after notice from the indemnifying
party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume and undertake the defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified party under this Section 2.07 for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by
such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation and of liaison with counsel so selected; provided, however, that, (i) if the indemnifying party has failed to assume the defense
or employ counsel reasonably acceptable to the indemnified party or (ii) if the defendants in any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and counsel to the indemnified party shall have concluded that there may
be reasonable defenses available to the indemnified party that are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party, or if the interests of the indemnified party reasonably may be deemed to conflict with the interests of the
indemnifying party, then the indemnified party shall have the right to select a separate counsel and to assume such legal defense and otherwise to participate in the defense of such action, with the reasonable expenses and fees of such separate
counsel and other reasonable expenses related to such participation to be reimbursed by the indemnifying party as incurred. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no indemnified party shall settle any action brought against it with
respect to which it is entitled to indemnification hereunder without the consent of the indemnifying party, unless the settlement thereof imposes no liability or obligation on, and includes a complete and unconditional release from all liability of,
the indemnifying party. 
 (d) Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in this Section 2.07 is
held by a court or government agency of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to any indemnified party or is insufficient to hold them harmless in respect of any Losses, then each indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified
party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such Loss in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one hand and of such indemnified party on
the other in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such Losses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations; provided, however, that in no event shall the Selling Holder be required to contribute an aggregate
amount in excess of the dollar amount of proceeds (net of Selling Expenses) received by such Selling Holder from the sale of Registrable Securities giving rise to such indemnification. The relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one hand and
the indemnified party on the other shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged  

  
 9 

 
omission to state a material fact has been made by, or relates to, information supplied by such party, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to
correct or prevent such statement or omission. The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contributions pursuant to this paragraph were to be determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does
not take account of the equitable considerations referred to herein. The amount paid by an indemnified party as a result of the Losses referred to in the first sentence of this paragraph shall be deemed to include any legal and other expenses
reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any Loss that is the subject of this paragraph. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the
Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who is not guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation. 
 (e) Other
Indemnification. The provisions of this Section 2.07 shall be in addition to any other rights to indemnification or contribution that an indemnified party may have pursuant to law, equity, contract or otherwise. 

Section 2.08. Rule 144 Reporting. With a view to making available the benefits of certain rules and regulations of the Commission
that may permit the sale of the Registrable Securities to the public without registration, the Partnership agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to: 

(a) make and keep public information regarding the Partnership available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144 under the
Securities Act, at all times from and after the date hereof; 
 (b) file with the Commission in a timely manner all reports and other
documents required of the Partnership under the Exchange Act at all times from and after the date hereof; and 
 (c) so long as a Holder
owns any Registrable Securities, unless otherwise available via EDGAR, furnish to such Holder forthwith upon request a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Partnership, and such other reports and documents so filed as such
Holder may reasonably request in availing itself of any rule or regulation of the Commission allowing such Holder to sell any such securities with out registration. 

Section 2.09. Transfer or Assignment of Registration Rights. The rights to cause the Partnership to register Registrable
Securities granted to a Holder by the Partnership under this Article II may be transferred or assigned by such Holder to one or more transferee(s) or assignee(s) of such Registrable Securities (or Subordinated Units prior to conversion);
provided, however, that (a) unless such transferee or assignee is an Affiliate of MLP Holdco, each such transferee or assignee holds Registrable Securities (or Subordinated Units prior to conversion) representing at least five percent
(5%) of the then-outstanding Registrable Securities (subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 3.04), (b) the Partnership is given written notice prior to any said transfer or assignment, stating the name and address of each
such transferee and identifying the Registrable Securities with respect to which such registration rights are being transferred or assigned, and (c) each such transferee agrees to be bound by this Agreement. 

  
 10 

 Section 2.10. Restrictions on Public Sale by Holders of Registrable Securities. MLP
Holdco and any other Holder(s) who, along with its Affiliates, holds at least five percent (5%) of the then-outstanding Registrable Securities (subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 3.04), agrees to enter into a customary letter
agreement with underwriters providing such Holder will not effect any public sale or distribution of the Registrable Securities during the 90 calendar day period beginning on the date of a prospectus or prospectus supplement filed with the
Commission with respect to the pricing of an Underwritten Offering, provided that (i) the duration of the foregoing restrictions shall be no longer than the duration of the shortest restriction generally imposed by the underwriters on the
Partnership or the officers, directors or any other unitholder of the Partnership on whom a restriction is imposed and (ii) the restrictions set forth in this Section 2.10 shall not apply to any Registrable Securities that are
included in such Underwritten Offering by such Holder.

	 	(b)	Operator will be obligated to provide the LTD Expansion Service and Customer will be obligated to pay for the LTD Expansion Service commencing on the In-Service Date in accordance with this Agreement. 

 

	3.3.	Retention of LTD Expansion Service Beyond Initial Term. Customer will have the right to continue receiving the LTD Expansion Service beyond the Initial Term, by exercising the rights set forth in this
Section 3.3. 

  

	 	(a)	No later than the date that is 48 months prior to the end of the term of this Agreement (whether of the Initial Term or a subsequent year during which the term has been extended), either Customer or Operator may provide
the other Party written notice of termination, subject to Customer’s rights set forth in this Section 3.3.

	 	(b)	Commencing upon a notice of termination, but no earlier than the date that is 48 months prior to the end of the term of this Agreement, Operator and Customer will negotiate with each other in good faith for a period of
one year (the “Negotiating Period”) to reach agreement on terms for Operator to continue providing LTD Expansion Service to Customer. Operator shall be free to conduct negotiations with other potential customers during this
Negotiating Period provided that Operator must (1) treat any offers by Customer to continue service as “Confidential Information” and (2) inform potential customers of Customer’s continuing rights pursuant to this
Section 3.3. At any time during the Negotiating Period, Customer may notify Operator in writing of the rate, amount of Terminal Expansion capacity and length of term Customer offers for the continued LTD Expansion Service. Operator may accept
or reject that offer; provided, however, that Customer will be entitled to continue LTD Expansion Service for a term of *** years with respect to LTD Expansion Service capacity in increments of no less than 266,666 Dth of MDDQ (and the proportionate
quantity of MCSQ) for which Customer agrees to pay ***% of the then-current LTD Expansion Rate pursuant to this Agreement, by notice to Operator in writing at any time during the Negotiating Period. 

 

	 	(c)	If (1) Customer does not make an offer to continue receiving the LTD Expansion Service or (2) Customer does not retain all LTD Expansion Service capacity by agreeing to pay ***% of the then-current LTD
Expansion Rate for *** years, or (3) Operator and Customer do not otherwise reach a new agreement during the Negotiating Period for all of the LTD Expansion Service capacity, then, for no longer than six months after the end of the Negotiating
Period, Operator will negotiate with other potential customers for Firm LNG tanker discharging service related to that capacity as to which Operator and Customer have not reached a new agreement. Pursuant to those negotiations, Operator shall seek
offers from other potential customer or customers for Firm LNG tanker discharging service acceptable to Operator in its sole reasonable discretion. 

  

	 	(d)	 By no later than the end of the six month period provided for above, Operator will present to Customer a summary of all of the material terms of the
good faith, bona fide offer or offers (if any) that Operator selects, in its sole discretion, as the best offer or offers that it received for Firm LNG tanker discharging service. Customer will have up to three months to match any or all offers
presented by Operator by executing a service agreement with Operator. If Customer matches an offer, Customer will be entitled to continue receiving the LTD Expansion Service with respect to the LTD Expansion capacity set forth in that offer at the
rate and for the period set forth in the competing offer, except (1) Customer will have the option of receiving the aggregate capacity of all matched offers for a term

that is the longer of (x) the longest offer matched or (y) *** years, and (2) as mutually agreed otherwise. If Customer declines to match an offer, Operator may enter into a
service agreement with the third party that made the offer on the terms and conditions set forth in the offer presented by Operator to Customer. 

  

	 	(e)	If the offers received by Operator from other prospective customers were for less than all of the remaining LTD Expansion Service capacity, or if Operator does not receive any acceptable bids for such capacity, then
Operator and Customer shall negotiate in good faith a mutually agreeable rate for any such remaining capacity that Customer desires to subscribe. Failing such agreement, the Parties shall have no further obligation under this Section 3.3,
unless Customer agrees to continue for a term of *** years all remaining LTD Expansion Service capacity at a rate that is ***% of the then-current LTD Expansion Rate, in which case Customer will continue to receive LTD Expansion Service with respect
to such capacity at that rate and for that term. 

  

	 	(f)	To accomplish any extension of this Agreement or replacement agreement pursuant to this Section 3.3, Operator and Customer will execute and deliver all necessary or useful documents and instruments, including any
necessary amendments to this Agreement. 

  

	 	(g)	If this Agreement is extended by amendment or if Operator and Customer enter into a new contract to continue LTD Expansion Service for any capacity for at least *** years, Customer will have an election to continue its
service at the end of that new contract term, at mutually acceptable rates, terms and conditions which Operator and Customer shall negotiate in good faith to achieve. 

 

	 	(h)	Reflecting that Customer will also utilize the transportation services under the CP Pipeline Service Agreement and transportation and storage services under the DTI Service Agreements, Operator and Customer will
commence negotiations for a corresponding extension of the CP Pipeline Service Agreement and Operator will seek to cause DTI to commence negotiations with Customer for a corresponding extension of the DTI Service Agreements, to the extent
permissible by then applicable Legal Requirements.

	 	(b)	For purposes of Rate Schedule LTD-1 Section 2.5, in the event that customers receiving Firm LNG Tanker discharging Service from Operator under Rate Schedule LTD-1 and this Terminal Expansion Agreement wish to
coordinate their operations, any or all such customers may, but are not obligated to, elect to coordinate among themselves their operations at Operator’s facilities, including the joint scheduling of LNG arrivals, injections into storage,
scheduling of vaporization and other activities required for the use of Operator’s facilities. Customers electing to coordinate operations (such customers referred to herein as “LTD-All Coordinating Buyers”) shall provide
Operator with written notice of such election at the time customers’ Preliminary Annual Discharge Schedule is due pursuant to Section 4.2(a)(i) of Rate Schedule LTD-1. Such election shall be effective for the annual period covered by
customers’ Preliminary Annual Discharge Schedule. Upon making such election, the LTD-All Coordinating Buyers shall be responsible for ensuring that all scheduling, submission of nominations and notices and other activities required are
performed by a single party or entity acting on behalf of all LTD-All Coordinating Buyers (“Single Entity”). The Single Entity appointed to act on behalf of the LTD-All Coordinating Buyers hereunder may be a particular customer or a
third party. LTD-All Coordinating Buyers shall be treated by Operator for all operational purposes, but for operational purposes only and not for any rate, fee or crediting purposes, as a single customer having an MDDQ, MCSQ and SDDQ equal to the
sum of the individual MDDQs, MCSQs and SDDQs of the LTD-All Coordinating Buyers. 

  

	 	(c)	In the event that the customers receiving service under Rate Schedule LTD-1 and LTD Expansion Service are not all acting as a Single Entity, Operator shall promptly resolve any conflicts with the Forward Schedule or
Monthly Discharge Schedule as follows: 

  

	 	(1)	Within 24 hours after receiving the Forward Schedule or Monthly Discharge Schedule, Operator shall notify any affected customers of the conflict; such customers shall have 10 days to resolve a conflict in the Forward
Schedule, or 2 days to resolve a conflict in the Monthly Discharge Schedule. 

  

	 	(2)	 If the affected customers do not timely notify Operator, in writing, that they have reached resolution, then Operator shall establish the Forward
Schedule or Monthly Discharge Schedule, as applicable, in an equitable manner under the circumstances, giving all Firm service customers comparable consideration (subject to Customer’s lower priority of access under this Agreement to
Operator’s nitrogen injection facilities as described in Section 4.1). If

Customer does not timely elect to be an LTD-All Coordinating Buyer for a Scheduling Year (as defined in Section 4.2(a)(i) of Rate Schedule LTD-1) pursuant to Section 4.8(b), then
Operator shall develop and post at its website procedures for equitably resolving any scheduling conflicts prior to the commencement of that Scheduling Year. 

  

	 	4.9.	Eligible Tankers. As part of its obligations under Section 5.2(d) of Rate Schedule LTD-1, Customer shall submit to Operator for advance approval a listing of LNG tankers meeting the required attributes,
which listing Customer and Operator shall update each calendar quarter to mutually agree to the addition or subtraction of eligible tankers for the succeeding quarter. Each Party shall promptly notify the other if it has reason to believe that a
listed tanker has become ineligible and such tanker will be removed from the list during the quarter. 

  

	 	4.10.	Scheduled Maintenance. Operator shall provide Customer with a schedule for all routine and anticipated non-routine maintenance, training, facility testing, inspections, and other reasonably foreseeable actions or
obligations that would result in Operator being unable to schedule or accept incoming cargoes or being able to interrupt service (collectively, “Maintenance”), as soon as practicable but in no event later than three months prior to
the deadlines specified in Section 4.2(a) of Rate Schedule LTD-1 for submission of Customer’s Preliminary Annual Discharge Schedule. Operator shall update that schedule quarterly and provide a copy to Customer. Operator shall notify
Customer of any changes to those schedules as soon as possible and no later than (i) one month prior to the commencement of the originally scheduled action or obligation, or (ii) the commencement date for the changed action or obligation,
whichever occurs sooner. Operator will use Best Reasonable Efforts to minimize reductions in service for Maintenance, particularly during the period spanning November through March. 

 

	 	4.11.	Non-Disruption. Operator acknowledges that service hereunder is Firm and cannot be interrupted due to any other activities at the Terminal site, except as expressly permitted by this Agreement or Operator’s
FERC Gas Tariff. 

  

	 	4.12.	Penalties and Charges. Operator shall be entitled to retain all penalties, wharfage and overrun charges paid by Customer in connection with LTD Expansion Service. 

 

	 	4.13.	Right to Acquire and Sell LNG. Customer shall have the right to acquire LNG supplies and Natural Gas from any person and to sell LNG and vaporized Natural Gas to any person, including the person from whom it
bought LNG and/or Natural Gas, provided, however, the transfer to any customer of Operator to whom Natural Gas or LNG is sold must comply with the applicable provisions of Operator’s FERC Gas Tariff.

	4.14.	Amendment to Services Provisions. At any time that this Agreement is in effect, Customer and Operator may mutually agree to amend this Section 4 to accommodate changes to services hereunder, including
additional service attributes or flexibility agreed to by the Parties, adjustments to reflect or otherwise treat the impact of changes to Operator’s FERC Gas Tariff provisions incorporated by reference herein, and changes which the Parties
otherwise agree are necessary or desirable to maintain the Firm nature of this service, its operational convenience and flexibility. 

  

	5	RATES 

  

	5.1.	LTD Expansion Rate Provisions. Customer and Operator have agreed that Customer will pay the following rate and charges for LTD Expansion Service: 

 

	 	(a)	A monthly reservation charge calculated as set forth in Section 5.2 for each Dth of MDDQ. 

  

	 	(b)	A commodity charge, if any, for each Dth of vaporization and delivery (sendout) calculated as set forth in Section 5.2. 

  

	 	(c)	The fuel retention percentage posted for Rate Schedule LTD-1 services on Sheet No. 10 or superseding sheet of Operator’s FERC Gas Tariff, as it may be amended or superseded, and as adjusted pursuant to that
tariff. 

  

	 	(d)	To the extent applicable, ACA and any other surcharges required by FERC and included in Operator’s FERC Gas Tariff, Volume No. 1, equal to those established for recovery from Operator’s Rate Schedule
LTD-1 customers. 

  

	 	(e)	An authorized overrun charge for each Dth of overrun service consisting of the LTD Unit Rate. 

  

	 	(f)	Operator shall not be permitted to impose any surcharges or charges for any disaggregated services or service features that are included in LTD Expansion Service (such as separate LNG tanker unloading, storage or
vaporization and Natural Gas delivery services), and if any such surcharges or charges are imposed for any reason, the LTD Expansion Rate will be reduced by a corresponding amount such that Customer will not incur any additional expense for such
service.

	5.2.	Reservation and Commodity Charges. The LTD Expansion Rate (consisting of the reservation and commodity charges) will be calculated in the following manner: 

 

	 	(a)	Rate of Return. Operator will calculate the return on equity and total rate of return as follows: 

  

	 	(1)	Rate of Return on Equity. The rate of return on equity to be used by Operator in calculating the LTD Expansion reservation rate will vary based upon the total amount of Operator’s Terminal Expenditures.
“Terminal Expenditures” will equal Operator’s actual capital expenditures with respect to the Terminal Expansion incurred by the date that is 6 months after the In-Service Date, consistent with the terms of Section 2.7 of
the Terminal Precedent Agreement; and subject to the following: 

  

	 	(i)	Capital expenditures made in the 6 months after the In-Service date will be limited to (1) expenditures for items included in the Terminal Expansion facilities described in Appendix A to the Terminal Precedent
Agreement, (2) changes authorized pursuant to Section 2.7 of the Terminal Precedent Agreement and (3) project completion work such as related environmental site remediation. 

 

	 	(ii)	The amount of capital expenditures included in Terminal Expenditures will be determined in accordance with FERC’s general plant instructions and generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied by
Operator. 

  

	 	(iii)	Such actual capital expenditures are subject to audit pursuant to Section 5.3 of this Agreement. 

  

	 	(iv)	In no event will the capital expenditures included in Terminal Expenditures for purposes of this Agreement exceed $*** million, except as may be mutually agreed by the Parties pursuant to Section 2.7 of the
Terminal Precedent Agreement. 

 For each of the tiers set forth below, Operator will utilize the indicated return for the
increment of Terminal Expenditures within that tier, and will combine those increments in calculating the blended average return on equity for the total Terminal Expenditures:

	 	(2)	Total Rate of Return. After calculating its rate of return on equity, Operator will develop its total blended rate of return assuming that ***% of Terminal Expenditures will be funded with equity and
***% will be funded with debt at an interest rate of ***%. 

  

	 	(b)	Cost of Service. Operator will calculate its annual cost of service, which will include as categories totaling to the annual cost of service, “Return and Taxes,” “Depreciation,” “Other
Taxes,” and “Operations and Maintenance,” all as determined as set forth below and according to any applicable FERC regulations. Operator’s total cost of service used to develop the LTD Expansion Rate will not exceed $***
per annum, unless the Parties mutually agreed otherwise pursuant to Section 2.7 of the Terminal Precedent Agreement. No costs from any other services related to the Terminal or Pipeline will be allocated to the LTD Expansion Service or
recovered through the LTD Expansion Rate. 

  

	 	(1)	Return and Taxes. Operator will calculate the return to be included in cost of service and recovered in the LTD Expansion Rate by multiplying the total Terminal Expenditures by the blended rate of return produced
in Section 5.2(a)(2) above. That figure will be combined with applicable U.S. federal and state income taxes to produce the cost of service entry for “Return and Taxes.” 

 

	 	(2)	Depreciation. Operator will utilize a 20-year straight-line depreciation period (i.e., at the rate of five percent per year) to calculate the “Depreciation” entry for the LTD Expansion cost of
service. 

  

	 	(3)	Other Taxes. “Other Taxes” to be recovered in the LTD Expansion cost of service will equal 2.5% of Terminal Expenditures.

	 	(4)	Operations and Maintenance. Operator’s “Operations and Maintenance” costs for the cost of service used to develop the LTD Expansion Rate will be $*** per annum. 

 

	 	(c)	LTD Expansion Rate. Operator will calculate the LTD Expansion Rate, both reservation and commodity charges, based upon the annual cost of service and Customer’s quantities of service, as set forth below.

  

	 	(1)	Reservation Charge. 

  

	 	(i)	Operator will develop the LTD Expansion Rate by classifying all Fixed Costs in the cost of service for the Terminal Expansion to the reservation charge pursuant to the Straight Fixed Variable rate design methodology.
The reservation charge will be calculated by dividing the Fixed Costs for the Terminal Expansion by the total LTD Expansion service annual reservation quantities (9,600,000 Dth = 12 months x MDDQ). 

 

	 	(ii)	The reservation charge produced by Operator’s calculations in Sections 5.2(a), 5.2(b) and 5.2(c)(1)(i) will be set to reflect the actual expected cost of service based on the Terminal Expenditures, but in no case
will the monthly reservation charge exceed $***/Dth or the unit rate (assuming 100% load factor utilization of capacity) exceed $***/Dth. 

  

	 	(2)	Commodity Charge. 

  

	 	(i)	The commodity charge, if any, will be calculated by dividing the Variable Costs in the cost of service for the Terminal Expansion by the total LTD Expansion Service annual commodity quantities (292,000,000 Dth = 365
days x MDDQ). 

  

	 	(ii)	The commodity charge, if any, produced by Operator’s calculations in Sections 5.2(a), 5.2(b) and 5.2(c)(2)(i) will not exceed the maximum commodity charge then otherwise applicable to service under Rate Schedule
LTD-1, as if LTD-1 rate were designed on a straight fixed variable basis. 

  

	 	(d)	Examples. Example of these calculations are set forth in Appendix A.

	5.3.	Calculation of LTD Expansion Rate; Adjustment to Terminal Expenditures; Audit. 

  

	 	(a)	Operator shall initially notify Customer of its calculation of the preliminary LTD Expansion Rate as part of its notice setting the In-Service Date, along with work papers showing the derivation of that rate, on the
basis of all costs incurred to that date, and estimated to be incurred by no later than 6 months after the In-Service Date for final completion of the Terminal Expansion, included as Terminal Expenditures. Operator will maintain records of all costs
included in the Terminal Expenditures. No later than 210 days after the In-Service Date, Operator will provide to Customer a detailed report setting forth a revised LTD Expansion Rate and describing all Terminal Expenditures and costs that were
included in calculating that rate and explanations of the derivation of the rate, together with supporting work papers. 

  

	 	(b)	Section 2.7 of the Terminal Precedent Agreement describes processes for any Customer challenges to Operator expenditures for, and Customer proposed changes to, the Terminal Expansion and the resolution of such
issues. Such resolution shall be reflected in the Terminal Expenditures. 

  

	 	(c)	Within 8 months after the In-Service Date or if any Customer Challenges pursuant to Section 2.7(a)(iii)(E) of the Terminal Precedent Agreement are then outstanding, then promptly thereafter, Customer shall have the
option of requiring an audit of all of the Terminal Expenditures and/or the calculation of the LTD Expansion Rate. 

  

	 	(1)	In the event Customer determines to exercise such option, within 10 days of Customer’s exercise of its option to require the audit, Customer will select an independent major accounting firm that is (i) capable
of performing the required services in Customer’s reasonable judgment, and (ii) not then currently retained by Customer or Operator for any other purposes. If the auditor selected by Customer is not acceptable to Operator in its reasonable
judgment, the Parties will cooperate to select an independent auditor meeting such criteria that is reasonably acceptable to both Parties. The independent auditor chosen pursuant to this paragraph (1) will be the “Independent
Auditor.” 

  

	 	(2)	The scope of the audit will be limited to confirming that the amounts in reports provided to Customer by Operator relating to expenses were properly disbursed to the relevant vendors or otherwise actually spent for the
Terminal Expansion and that the LTD Expansion Rate was properly calculated in accordance with this Agreement. Operator will provide the Independent Auditor with reasonable access to all relevant information necessary for the Independent Auditor to
complete its audit. The LTD Expansion Rate will be revised to reflect any discrepancies identified by the Independent Auditor. The determination of the Independent Auditor will be final and binding on both Parties.

	 	(3)	Customer will bear the fees and expenses of retaining the Independent Auditor. 

  

	 	(d)	Within 30 days after resolution of both the Final Issue Challenge pursuant to Section 2.7 of the Terminal Precedent Agreement and any issues resulting from any audit conducted pursuant to Section 5.3(c),
Operator will provide to Customer a detailed report setting forth a final LTD Expansion Rate and describing all costs that were included in calculating that rate and explanations of the derivation of the rate, together with supporting work papers.
Operator shall also perform a true-up calculation between the preliminary rate set pursuant to Section 5.3(a) and the final LTD Expansion Rate, and provide supporting work papers to Customer. Any refund to or collection from Customer of any
excess or deficient amounts, respectively, resulting from any difference between the preliminary rate collected during the period that rate was charged and the final LTD Expansion Rate, together with interest at the FERC rate for interest on refunds
in effect during the period covered, will be paid, at the election of the Party to whom any such refund or collection is owed, through a lump sum payment or as an offset to future payments. The final LTD Expansion Rate shall remain fixed for the
term of this Agreement, subject to adjustment only pursuant to Sections 5.4 and 5.5. 

  

	5.4.	Fixed Rate; Reopener. 

  

	 	(a)	Operator will have the right to revise the LTD Expansion Rate in order to recover Customer’s capacity-proportionate share of actual capital costs reasonably incurred by Operator after the In-Service Date, including
a return on capital at the final level calculated pursuant to Section 5.2(a)(2), to comply with unanticipated final orders by FERC, environmental, health, safety or other Governmental Authorities having jurisdiction over the Terminal, where
such orders require capital expenditures in excess of $*** million for any single project or group of associated projects to accomplish changes to the Terminal that are necessary in Operator’s reasonable judgment to the continued lawful
operation of the Terminal. 

  

	 	(1)	For purposes of this Section 5.4, Customer’s capacity-proportionate share of costs will equal the product of (i) the proportion of the Terminal Expansion capacity to the aggregate Terminal LNG tanker
discharging services’ capacity, and (ii) the Terminal LNG tanker discharging services’ share of all of the services provided by Operator at the Terminal, including peaking services and transportation services, to which the costs
relate.

	 	(2)	The capital costs of any such changes or additions made pursuant to this provision will be recovered in rates over a 20-year period (regardless of the remaining duration of the Initial Term or any renewal term).

  

	 	(3)	Whenever Operator incurs, or expects with reasonable certainty that it will incur, capital expenditures that trigger its right pursuant to this Section 5.4, it shall provide Customer an estimate of the expected
costs, categorized consistent with the provisions of Section 5.2(b), and of the estimated impact on the LTD Expansion Rate, together with supporting workpapers. When Operator knows the extent of the capital expenditures with certainty, it shall
provide Customer a revised calculation of the expected costs, categorized consistent with the provisions of Section 5.2(b), and of the impact on the LTD Expansion Rate, together with supporting workpapers. 

 

	 	(4)	Unless agreed otherwise, the LTD Expansion Rate shall be adjusted following the completion of construction of facilities related to compliance with the order by a Governmental Authority and Operator’s final
calculation of the capital costs. 

  

	 	(5)	Customer may demand an audit of the capital costs. The scope of the audit will include an assessment of whether (i) the proposed changes are necessary in Operator’s reasonable judgment to continue lawful
operation of the Terminal, (ii) the proposed capital expenditures are reasonably incurred to accomplish the proposed changes and (iii) the costs and rate changes are calculated properly in accordance with this Agreement. Operator will
provide Customer with reasonable access to information necessary for Customer to complete its audit. Customer will bear any fees and expenses of retaining an auditor. In the event that, based on the audit, Customer in good faith disputes the issues
within the scope of the audit, the Parties will resolve the dispute in accordance with Article 10. 

  

	 	(6)	The expenditures to be recovered through this Section 5.4 will not include costs for Operator’s operations or maintenance, its administrative and general expenses, facility or equipment upkeep, emergencies or
facility damage caused by the actions of Operator or others, except to the extent such costs are deemed capital expenditures in accordance with FERC’s general plant instructions and generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied
by Operator; and in no event will such costs include costs unrelated to the unanticipated order by a Governmental Authority.

	5.5.	Adjustment for Recovery of Costs from Construction Contractors. In the event that Operator recovers any damages or other payment from a contractor related to the construction of the Terminal Expansion arising
from the contractor’s error, omission, or breach of a related contract, Operator shall credit those proceeds against the Terminal Expenditures, but only to the extent that (a) the Terminal Expenditures did not exceed $*** million (as
modified by mutual agreement in accordance with Section 2.7 of the Terminal Precedent Agreement) and (b) the facilities related to the claim against the contractor were included in the Terminal Expenditures. In the event that those
proceeds are credited, Operator shall recalculate the LTD Expansion Rate (providing work papers showing that calculation to Customer) and reduce the LTD Expansion Rate prospectively to reflect the proceeds. 

 

	5.6.	Unavailability Credit. If Operator is unable to provide the service to Customer under this Agreement for any reason (including due to Force Majeure) other than due to the fault of Customer, Customer will receive
a credit in accordance with this Section 5.6. 

  

	 	(a)	Excluded Unavailability. No credit will apply to the extent the LTD Expansion Service is unavailable (1) for up to *** days in any calendar year for reasonably scheduled maintenance and (2) for
an additional period that does not exceed either (i) a cumulative total of *** days in any calendar year or (ii) *** consecutive calendar days (such days to be identified by Operator on the date that Operator declines to
schedule nominated service for reason of such unavailability); provided that such periods will be prorated in the first and last years of the term of this Agreement to the extent that the In-Service Date occurs after April 1 or this Agreement
terminates prior to October 31. 

  

	 	(b)	Credit. At the end of each month during the term, the credit will be calculated. The credit will equal the sum of the Daily Credits (as defined below) for each day in the month plus the Failed Cargo Credit (as
defined below) for the month. 

  

	 	(1)	Daily Credit. The “Daily Credit” for each day will equal the greater of the Sendout Credit and the Storage Credit for that day. 

 

	 	(i)	Sendout Credit.

 SPECIFIC TERMS IN THIS EXHIBIT HAVE BEEN REDACTED BECAUSE CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT OF THOSE TERMS HAS BEEN
REQUESTED. THE REDACTED MATERIAL HAS BEEN SEPARATELY SUBMITTED TO THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION, AND THE TERMS HAVE BEEN MARKED AT THE APPROPRIATE PLACE WITH THREE ASTERISKS (***). 

 

	 	(A)	If Customer has complied with the procedural and operational requirements of Operator’s FERC Gas Tariff but is not permitted to nominate all or any portion of its (1) MDDQ under this Agreement or
(2) Maximum Daily Transportation Quantity under the Firm Transportation Service under the CP Pipeline Service Agreement, or such service is nominated and scheduled but is curtailed or interrupted, or is not scheduled, then the amount (in Dth)
unavailable for nomination plus the amount scheduled but curtailed or interrupted, or not scheduled will be the “Unavailable Sendout” for purposes of this Section 5.6. Unavailable Sendout will include both volumes that cannot
be nominated and volumes that have been nominated in accordance with Operator’s FERC Gas Tariff but were not or cannot be scheduled from the Pipeline to the DTI system, in each case due to Force Majeure or DTI’s improper curtailment or
other improper interruption of service. Unavailable Sendout will not include the results of conditions on interconnected third party downstream pipelines that affect DTI or the Pipeline. 

 

	 	(B)	If (i) the Unavailable Sendout is due to Force Majeure (as defined in the applicable service agreement) affecting the Terminal, the Pipeline or the DTI Pipeline, (ii) such Force Majeure has continued for no
more than *** consecutive days and (iii) no equal or greater Unavailable Sendout is attributable to an unexcused failure, then the “Sendout Credit” for the day will equal the Unavailable Sendout multiplied by ***% of the Return
and Taxes Rate. “Return and Taxes Rate” will equal the cost of common equity and associated income taxes reflected in the LTD Unit Rate. The “LTD Unit Rate” will equal the ***. In all other cases, the
“Sendout Credit” for the day will equal the Unavailable Sendout multiplied by 120% of the LTD Unit Rate.

	 	(ii)	Storage Credit. 

  

	 	(A)	“Unavailable Storage” will equal the amount of storage capacity at the Terminal that is unavailable for a day divided by the aggregate storage capacity at the Terminal; provided that if Customer’s
available storage capacity under this Agreement is less than *** Dth then “Unavailable Storage” will equal 1 (i.e., storage will be deemed completely unavailable). 

 

	 	(B)	If (i) the Unavailable Storage is due to Force Majeure and (ii) such Force Majeure has continued for no more than *** consecutive days, then the “Storage Credit” for the day will equal
the product of (1) Unavailable Storage, (2) *** Dth, (3) ***% and (4) ***% of the Return and Taxes Rate. In all other cases, the “Storage Credit” for the day will equal the product of
(1) Unavailable Storage, (2) *** Dth, (3) ***% and (4) ***% of the LTD Unit Rate.  

  

	 	(2)	Failed Cargo Credit. 

  

	 	(i)	If Operator fails to provide Customer the opportunity to schedule the minimum number of ships pursuant to Section 4.8(a) in a month, then the “Failed Cargo Amount” for the month will equal ***,
plus any amount determined pursuant to clause (ii) below. 

  

	 	(ii)	If a vessel nominated by Customer that has been confirmed under the Monthly Discharge Schedule (including confirmed spot cargoes) but, as a result of Force Majeure or any action or inaction of (1) Operator,
(2) any third party subject to Operator’s direction or control or (3) any other LNG tanker discharging service customer, is not allowed to berth at the Terminal in the confirmed window or is not allowed to discharge completely its
cargo (including, for example, cases where the vessel is turned away, is instructed en route that access to the Terminal or unloading will not be available, or is unable to unload all or part of its cargo at the Terminal), and is not able to berth
and discharge its cargo at the Terminal at a later time within 15 days despite its compliance with Section 4 of Rate Schedule LTD-1, then the Failed Cargo Amount for the month will also include for each such vessel an amount equal to ***.

	 	(iii)	If (A) the Failed Cargo Amount is due to Force Majeure and (B) such Force Majeure has continued for no more than *** consecutive days, then the “Failed Cargo Credit” will equal ***.

  

	 	(iv)	In all other cases, the “Failed Cargo Credit” will equal ***. 

  

	 	(c)	To the extent that any service described above is not available but Operator offers a substitute service reasonably acceptable to Customer, the service will not be considered unavailable for purposes of this
Section 5.6. 

  

	 	(d)	To the extent Operator is obligated to pay Customer under Section 5.6(b), such amount will be credited against Customer’s future payments; provided that if Operator is obligated to pay for three consecutive
months, Operator will pay such amount to Customer in lieu of credits. 

  

	5.7.	FERC Modification of Agreement. 

  

	 	(a)	The Parties agree that the LTD Expansion Rate need not be justified to the FERC as cost-based under their understanding of current FERC policies. The Parties will advance and defend their agreement for the LTD Expansion
Rate to apply under this Agreement in any and all relevant proceedings before the FERC, throughout the term of this Agreement. The Parties will cooperate and coordinate to the greatest extent practicable in so doing. In the event that the FERC
determines, at any time, that Operator must establish a cost-based rate or recourse rate in lieu of the LTD Expansion Rate, or the FERC otherwise issues an order or orders that prohibits or prevents Operator from charging Customer the LTD Expansion
Rate, the Parties will negotiate in good faith for a period of not less than 180 days an alternative rate arrangement designed to ensure that the original commercial intent of the Parties is preserved. Such negotiations will not obligate the Parties
to enter into further agreements or amendments unless by mutual agreement. 

  

	 	(b)	 The Parties agree that, under their understanding of current FERC policies, Customer is permitted to assign or sell to one or more third parties
(including indirectly, such as buy/sell agreements) all or any part of its rights to the LTD Expansion Service as contemplated by Article 6 at rates agreed upon by Customer with the third party or parties without any maximum rate cap or similar
regulatory limitation. The Parties will advance and defend this understanding in any and all relevant proceedings before the FERC, throughout the term of this Agreement. The Parties will cooperate and coordinate to the greatest extent practicable in
so doing. If at any time during the term of this Agreement, the FERC establishes a limitation on Customer’s right to freely assign or sell its rights to the LTD Expansion Service at rates established between Customer and the third

party, the Parties will negotiate in good faith for a period of not less than 180 days an alternative arrangement designed to ensure that the original commercial intent of the Parties is
preserved. Such negotiations will not obligate the Parties to enter into further agreements or amendments unless by mutual agreement. 

  

	 	(c)	To the extent that Operator must establish recourse rates under any rate schedule as a result of the Terminal Expansion, the Parties agree (subject to FERC approval) that the recourse rates will be designed to cover the
costs of constructing and operating the Terminal Expansion facilities with a rate of return on equity of 15%, a straight-fixed-variable rate design and a 20-year depreciation period. Both Parties will cooperate in advancing and defending this
approach to the FERC; provided however, that neither Operator nor Customer will be obligated to advance or defend this approach to the extent that such actions would conflict with or undermine its right to take rehearing and seek court review of any
FERC order requiring a recourse rate and to advance contrary arguments in such proceedings. 

  

	 	(d)	If any terms of this Agreement are in any way modified in any material respect or made ineffective by law, order, rulemaking, regulation or policy of the FERC or any other Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over
the Parties at any time during the term of this Agreement then, at the request of either Party, the Parties will negotiate in good faith for a period of not less than 180 days an alternative arrangement designed to ensure that the original
commercial intent of the Parties is preserved. Such negotiations will not obligate the Parties to enter into further agreements or amendments unless by mutual agreement. 

 

	6	ASSIGNMENT 

  

	6.1.	Capacity Assignment. Customer will be entitled to assign capacity held pursuant to this Agreement to one or more persons or entities (each an “Assignee”), provided that all of the following
conditions are satisfied: 

  

	 	(a)	Temporary Assignment. Customer may at any time assign all or any portion of its MCSQ or MDDQ under this Agreement to an Assignee for a period less than the full remaining term of this Agreement; provided,
however, that unless mutually agreed otherwise by Operator, such assignment shall not affect the rights or obligations of the Parties under this Agreement in any way. Customer shall remain responsible for all interactions with Operator
pursuant to this Agreement and shall retain its obligation to pay the LTD Expansion Rate and any other applicable charges. Customer need not inform Operator of any assignment pursuant to this Section, nor of any terms of such assignment, nor of the
identity of an Assignee.

REQUESTED. THE REDACTED MATERIAL HAS BEEN SEPARATELY SUBMITTED TO THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION, AND THE TERMS HAVE BEEN MARKED AT THE APPROPRIATE PLACE WITH THREE ASTERISKS (***). 

 

	 	(b)	Permanent Assignment. If Customer desires to assign all or any portion of its MCSQ or MDDQ under this Agreement to an Assignee for the full remaining term of this Agreement, it shall provide Operator at least two
months advance written notice of that desire. Such permanent assignment shall require the express written consent of Operator, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. In addition, any permanent assignment shall be for a commercially reasonable
minimum quantity, shall reflect the proportion of MCSQ and MDDQ originally provided to Customer, and must convey all Customer’s rights to the capacity, including its rights pursuant to Section 3.3, and may not contain any reversion or
recall rights for Customer. If Operator agrees to a permanent assignment pursuant to this provision, its agreement shall be conditioned upon the execution of all necessary agreements with the Assignee, including comparable assurance of payment from
an entity with an Investment Grade Credit Rating or the posting of collateral or other payment assurance which, in the reasonable judgment of Operator, will provide similar assurance of payment. Customer shall remain fully obligated with respect to
the assigned quantities unless and until the Assignee expressly assumes such obligations in writing, at which time (i) Customer will be released from all obligations with respect to the assigned quantities, (ii) Customer shall have no
further rights with respect to the assigned quantities, and (iii) the amount of the Statoil Guarantee will be reduced in proportion to the amount of capacity assigned. 

 

	6.2.	Other Assignment. Except as otherwise provided in this Article 6, and except that either Party may assign or delegate duties to an Affiliate without the consent of the other, no assignment or delegation of duties
under this Agreement will be made unless there first will have been obtained the prior written consent of the other party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld. Any assignment hereof by Operator will be subject to the receipt and acceptance
by Operator of any necessary regulatory or governmental authorizations. This Agreement will be binding upon and will inure to the benefit of the respective authorized successors and assigns. Except as provided in this Article 6, no assignment will
relieve the assignor of any of its obligations under this Agreement. 

  

	6.3.	Sale or Transfer. So long as the rights and obligations of the Parties among themselves under this Agreement are not affected and no obligations are imposed on Operator with respect to any third party, nothing in
this Article 6 will restrict Customer from selling or transferring any portion of its rights to utilize capacity or receive services provided under this Agreement.

	6.4.	Title. Title to the Terminal Expansion remains with Operator and its successors and assigns, without limitation or exception. 

 

	7	CREDITWORTHINESS 

  

	7.1.	Customer Creditworthiness. 

  

	 	(a)	Customer will provide assurance of its ability to meet all its financial obligations to Operator and DTI under this Agreement and the Related Agreements. The assurance will be in the form of a corporate guarantee (the
“Statoil Guarantee”) subject to the following provisions: 

  

	 	(i)	the guarantor will be Statoil ASA. 

  

	 	(ii)	the Statoil Guarantee will irrevocably, absolutely and unconditionally guarantee the performance by Customer of all present and future obligations and liabilities of Customer to Operator and DTI under this Agreement and
the Related Agreements, provided that the maximum amount of the Statoil Guarantee will be $*** million until the first anniversary of the In-Service Date and will decrease by $*** million on such anniversary and each anniversary thereafter, plus any
costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by Operator in enforcing the Statoil Guarantee. 

  

	 	(iii)	the guarantee will not be assignable by Statoil ASA. 

  

	 	(iv)	 The Statoil Guarantee and the duties and obligations of the Statoil ASA thereunder will be enforceable against Statoil ASA in the courts of the United
States of America. For such purpose, Statoil ASA will irrevocably submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of such courts, and agrees that all claims in respect of the Statoil Guarantee may be heard and determined in any of such courts. Statoil ASA
will further irrevocably agree that a final judgment of any of these courts in any action or proceeding relating to the Statoil Guarantee will be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner
provided by law. To the extent that Statoil ASA has or hereafter may acquire any immunity (including, without limitation, sovereign immunity) from jurisdiction of any court or from any legal process, Statoil ASA will irrevocably waive such immunity
in respect of its obligations under the Statoil Guarantee; provided that

nothing in such waiver will require Statoil ASA to waive or forfeit the benefit of the protections under 28 USC §§1330 or 1441 with respect to its right to be sued only in federal court
or with respect to the exclusion of jury trials. 

  

	 	(v)	the Statoil Guarantee will otherwise be in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Operator. 

  

	 	(b)	Customer will maintain the Statoil Guarantee in full force and effect for the term of this Agreement. 

  

	 	(c)	If Customer has established and maintains assurance, pursuant to any Related Agreement, that together with the assurance provided under this Agreement satisfies the requirements of this Section 7.1, no additional
assurance will be required by this Section. 

  

	7.2.	Operator Creditworthiness. 

  

	 	(a)	Subject to the provisions of Section 7.2(e), from the In-Service Date through the remaining term of this Agreement Operator will maintain a Net Worth of not less than the Minimum Amount. 

 

	 	(1)	“Net Worth” means total assets minus total liabilities, determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied. 

 

	 	(2)	The “Minimum Amount” will be $*** from the In-Service Date through the first anniversary of the In-Service Date, and will decrease by $*** on such anniversary and each subsequent anniversary of such
date. 

  

	 	(b)	Operator will provide a certificate from Consolidated Natural Gas Company (“CNG”), of which Operator is an indirect wholly owned subsidiary, in the form set forth in Appendix B. 

 

	 	(c)	 Within 90 days after the end of each fiscal year of Operator, Operator will deliver a compliance certificate signed by an authorized representative of
Operator as to such representative’s knowledge of Operator’s compliance with the covenants set forth in Section 7.2(a). The compliance certificate will attach (i) a consolidated balance sheet of Operator and its subsidiaries, as
at the end of such year, and the related consolidated statements of income, stockholders’ equity and cash flow for such fiscal year and (ii) an unqualified report with respect to the financial statements from a nationally recognized firm
of certified public accountants, which report shall be prepared in accordance with generally accepted auditing

standards; provided, however, that upon Operator’s request, Customer will reasonably consider eliminating the requirement of clause (ii) above to provide an accountant’s report and
relying instead upon Operator’s financial reports filed with the FERC. 

  

	 	(d)	If at any time either (i) Operator’s Net Worth is less than the Minimum Amount or (ii) Section 4.04 (Limitation of Liens) of the CNG Indenture no longer applies to Operator then Customer may provide
Operator with written notice requesting a substitute guarantee from CNG in an amount consistent with Section 7.2(a)(2) and in a form substantially similar to the DRI Guarantee pursuant to the Terminal Precedent Agreement. Upon receipt of such
notice Operator shall have 30 days to provide such guarantee. If Operator fails to provide such guarantee or other Performance Assurance reasonably acceptable to Customer within such 30-day period, then a Termination Event under Section 9.1
will be deemed to have occurred and Customer will be entitled to the remedies set forth in Section 9.2. For the purposes of this Agreement “Performance Assurance” means collateral in the form of either cash, letter(s) of
credit, or other security acceptable to Customer. 

  

	 	(e)	Operator’s obligations under this Section 7.2 will be excused if and to the extent that (1) Operator causes CNG (or another Affiliate of Operator satisfactory to Customer in its discretion) to provide a
performance guarantee to Customer with respect to all Operator’s obligations under this Agreement which shall be in form and substance similar to that specified in Section 7.2(d), or (2) CNG executes and delivers an agreement, in form
and substance reasonably satisfactory to Customer, by which CNG will become jointly and severally liable together with Operator for any obligations of Operator arising from the enforcement by Customer of any remedies that Customer may have pursuant
to Article 9. 

  

	8	FORCE MAJEURE; PAYMENT REDUCTION; INDEMNIFICATION 

  

	8.1.	Definition. The term “Force Majeure”, as used in this Agreement will have the same meaning as it does in Operator’s FERC Gas Tariff, as in effect from time to time, provided that this
Agreement shall be deemed a “Service Agreement” for purposes of interpreting that tariff provision. 

  

	8.2.	Effect of Force Majeure. In the event that either Party is rendered unable wholly or in part by Force Majeure to carry out its obligations under this Agreement, other than the obligation to make payment of
amounts accrued and due hereunder at the time thereof, the obligations of that Party that are reasonably affected will be suspended from the commencement of the Force Majeure event through the continuance of any inability so caused, on such
Party’s giving written notice and full particulars of the Force Majeure event to the other Party within a reasonable

time after the occurrence of the cause relied on. Neither Party will be liable in damages to the other for any act, omission, or circumstances occasioned by or in consequence of Force Majeure;
provided, however, such Force Majeure shall be remedied with all reasonable dispatch by the Party claiming the existence of Force Majeure. The existence of Force Majeure will not relieve a Party from its obligations to make payments of
amounts accrued and due under this Precedent Agreement at the time of the Force Majeure event. During a period of Force Majeure claimed by Operator, Customer will be relieved of its payment obligations under this Agreement to the extent provided for
in Section 5.6. In the event that a period of Force Majeure persists for more than 30 days, then within 60 days of the start of the event, the Party claiming Force Majeure shall notify the other Party, in writing, of the date by which it
expects to resume its obligations under this Agreement. If the claiming Party projects that the Force Majeure event will not persist for more than two years and the non-claiming Party disagrees, it will be entitled to pursue a resolution pursuant to
the terms of Article 10. If the Force Majeure event is projected to persist for more than two years, then the other Party shall have 60 days from the later of the claiming Party’s notice and the decision pursuant to the Article 10 process, to
respond, in writing, whether it elects to terminate this Agreement. If the responding Party does not elect to terminate, then the Party affected by Force Majeure will proceed with all reasonable dispatch to resume the performance of its obligations
within the projected time. 

  

	8.3.	Waivers. The waiver by a Party of any right to suspend its performance due to a Force Majeure event or due to breach by another Party of any provision of this Agreement will not operate as a waiver of any other
right to suspend performance due to a subsequent Force Majeure event or breach of this Agreement. 

  

	8.4.	Payment Reduction. 

  

	 	(a)	An “LNG Prohibition” means the imposition of any Legal Requirement by any Governmental Authority that prohibits the transportation of LNG, whether specifically, or as one of a category of dangerous
cargoes, to the United States in general or to the Chesapeake Bay or to the Terminal in particular. 

  

	 	(b)	During the period of an LNG Prohibition, (1) Customer will be relieved of its obligation to make payments under this Agreement except as set forth in Section 8.4(d) below and (2) Customer and Operator
will enter into an agreement for Firm Transportation Service on the Pipeline, consistent with FERC requirements, to replace, supersede or offset the Pipeline Service Agreement, that provides for Customer to pay a 100% load factor equivalent of
Customer’s Pipeline rate for Firm Transportation Service on the Pipeline for the duration of the LNG Prohibition.

	 	(c)	If the LNG Prohibition persists for more than 5 years, then at any time after such 5-year period during the continuation of the LNG Prohibition, either Party will have the right to terminate this Agreement upon 30
days’ written notice to the other Party; provided that if this Agreement is terminated, the Pipeline Service Agreement, including the replacement agreement referenced in Section 8.4(b), must be simultaneously terminated. 

 

	 	(d)	If an LNG Prohibition occurs prior to 10 years after the In-Service Date, then Customer will pay Operator one-twelfth of 2.5% of the Terminal Expenditures for each month during the LNG Prohibition, until the earliest of
(1) the date that is ten years after the In-Service Date, (2) the discontinuance of the LNG Prohibition and (3) the date of termination of this Agreement by Operator pursuant to Section 8.4(c) above; provided that if Customer
terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.4(c) above, Customer will pay to Operator in one lump sum the aggregate of the amounts due under this Section 8.4(d) from the date of termination until the date that is ten years after the
In-Service Date. 

  

	8.5.	Indemnification. 

  

	 	(a)	Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 9.3(a), Customer will indemnify, defend and hold harmless Operator from and against all Third Party Claims arising out of the performance or nonperformance in connection
with this Agreement by Customer or operator of Customer’s vessel, the owner thereof or any other third party acting on behalf of Customer. In no event will Customer indemnify Operator from Third Party Claims which are the result of
Operator’s negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct. “Third Party Claims” means all losses, damages, costs, expenses, claims, suits, actions, proceedings and demurrage and delay made, incurred or asserted by any third party.

  

	 	(b)	Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 9.3(a), Operator will indemnify, defend and hold harmless Customer from and against all Third Party Claims arising out of the performance or nonperformance in connection
with this Agreement by Operator or any third party acting on behalf of Operator. In no event will Operator indemnify Customer from Third Party Claims which are the result of Customer’s negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct.

  

	9	TERMINATION 

  

	9.1.	Termination Events. A “Termination Event” will mean, with respect to a Party (“Party A”), the occurrence of any of the following: 

 

	 	(a)	The failure of Operator to provide the LTD Expansion Service for reasons other than Force Majeure such that, in each of 12 consecutive months, Customer is not able to (1) unload at least one cargo of volume of
138,000 cubic meters, (2) store at least 3,643,200 Dth of LNG and (3) receive vaporization and delivery of at least 3,643,200 Dth.

	 	(b)	The failure by Customer to pay in full all amounts due under this Agreement for three consecutive months. 

  

	 	(c)	The unequivocal declaration by Party A that it intends to terminate or repudiate its obligations under this Agreement. 

  

	 	(d)	Any representation or warranty made by the Party A in this Agreement is false or misleading in any material respect when made and, if such misrepresentation is capable of being cured, it has not been cured within 30
days after written notice. 

  

	 	(e)	Party A becomes Bankrupt. 

  

	 	(f)	Party A consolidates or amalgamates with, or merges with or into, or transfers all or substantially all of its assets to, another entity and, at the time of such consolidation, amalgamation, merger or transfer, the
resulting, surviving or transferee entity fails to assume all the obligations of such Party under this Agreement to which it or its predecessor was a party by operation of law or pursuant to an agreement reasonably satisfactory to the other Party.

  

	 	(g)	With respect to Party A’s guarantor, if any:

	9.2.	Remedies. 

  

	 	(a)	General. If either Party (“Party A”) fails to perform its obligations under this Agreement, the other Party (“Party B”) may pursue any remedies available at law or in
equity, except as expressly limited by this Agreement. 

  

	 	(b)	Remedies upon Termination Events. Upon the occurrence of a Termination Event with respect to Party A, then Party B may 

  

	 	(i)	suspend performance of its obligations under this Agreement, including the payment of amounts owed under this Agreement, until such failure is cured; provided, however that, to the extent Operator is performing
the LTD Expansion Service but fails to perform other obligations under this Agreement, all suspended payments accrued (subject to Section 5.6) will be paid in full upon the cure of the failure; and either 

 

	 	(ii)	terminate this Agreement by giving at least 60 days notice to Party A and obtain the liquidated damages set forth in Section 9.2(c); or 

 

	 	(iii)	if Operator is Party A and Customer does not exercise its right to terminate this Agreement, then subject to Section 9.2(c), Customer will be entitled to obtain an order of specific performance from a court of
competent jurisdiction against Operator requiring Operator to continue to provide the LTD Expansion Service under the terms of this Agreement. 

  

	 	(c)	Liquidated Damages. 

  

	 	(i)	Upon termination of this Agreement by Customer pursuant to Section 9.2(b), or if Customer is unable to obtain an order of specific performance from a court of competent jurisdiction against Operator requiring
Operator to continue to provide the LTD Expansion Service under the terms of this Agreement, Operator will pay to Customer an amount equal to $*** million less the product of (A) $*** million and (B) the number of full years that have
elapsed since the In-Service Date (“Operator Termination Amount”). The Operator Termination Amount will be further reduced (but not below zero) by any damages paid by Operator to Customer under the Terminal Precedent Agreement.

	 	(ii)	Upon termination of this Agreement by Operator pursuant to Section 9.2(b), Customer will pay to Operator an amount equal to $*** million less the product of (A) $*** million and (B) the number of full
years that have elapsed since the In-Service Date (the “Customer Termination Amount”). The Customer Termination Amount shall be further reduced (but not below zero) by any damages paid by Customer to Operator under the Terminal
Precedent Agreement. 

  

	 	(iii)	With respect to the rights of the parties to obtain liquidated damages pursuant to this Section 9.2(c), the Parties acknowledge that (A) the actual damages that would be suffered by a Party under the
circumstances described in such Sections would be difficult to prove, (B) the liquidated amount determined is a reasonable estimate of the anticipated harm and (C) that obtaining an adequate remedy at law would otherwise be difficult or
impossible. Each Party irrevocably waives the right to contest the liquidated damages specified in this Section 9.2(c) as an unreasonable penalty. These liquidated damages will be the exclusive remedy of Party B that has elected to terminate
this Agreement. 

  

	 	(d)	 Specific Performance. With respect to Customer’s right to obtain an order of specific performance pursuant to
Section 9.2(b)(iii), the Parties acknowledge that (i) the Terminal Expansion is a unique asset and obtaining the LTD Expansion Service at another location would be difficult or impossible for Customer to achieve, (ii) obtaining
an adequate remedy at law would be difficult or impossible, and (iii) an order of specific performance requiring Operator to continue to provide the LTD Expansion Service to Customer would be an appropriate remedy. Such right will be limited so
that Operator will not be required to incur or pay any out-of-pocket costs or expenses in complying with the order of specific performance to the extent that the aggregate amount of such costs and expenses (excluding amounts incurred or paid prior
to the issuance of such order other than as liquidated damages under this Agreement) exceeds $***. If an order requiring specific performance by Operator is issued and enforceable and the reasonably estimated costs of compliance with such
order exceed Operator’s Net Worth, then to the extent the costs

order. The guarantee will be in a form substantially similar to the DRI Guarantee pursuant to the Terminal Precedent Agreement. 

  

	 	(e)	Limit. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall Operator be liable to Customer under this Agreement (whether in an action in contract, tort or otherwise) for damages
(including liquidated damages or fees for termination but excluding amounts paid pursuant to Section 8.5) and for costs required to comply with an order for specific performance of any obligation under this Agreement to the extent that such
damages or costs exceed an aggregate of $***. Operator acknowledges that credits or payments under Section 5.6 will not be considered damages for purposes of this paragraph (e). 

 

	9.3.	Limitation of Liability. 

  

	 	(a)	The liability of a Party under this Agreement will be limited to that expressly specified, or if not expressly specified, other direct damages. Except to the extent damages are expressly liquidated pursuant to
Section 9.2, neither Party will have any liability for special, incidental, exemplary, consequential, or punitive damages (including lost or reduced profits and business opportunities) whether based on contract, tort (including negligence),
warranty, strict liability or otherwise. 

  

	 	(b)	No recourse shall be had for any payment or performance under this Agreement, or for any claim based thereon or otherwise in respect thereof, against any Affiliate of any Party or any incorporator, stockholder, member,
partner, officer, employee or director of any (i) Party, (ii) Affiliate or (iii) predecessor or successor entity, whether by virtue of any constitutional provision, statute or rule of law, or by the enforcement of any assessment or
penalty or otherwise or whether in an action in contract or tort or in law or equity. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section shall limit or prejudice any Party’s right to proceed under other agreements with any of such persons,
including without limitation the guaranty agreements referenced herein. 

  

	 	(c)	Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement or the Terminal Precedent Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall any Party be liable for damages or performance for the same occurrence or event under both the
Terminal Precedent Agreement and this Agreement and the Parties shall not be permitted to combine the remedies under this Agreement with the remedies under the Terminal Precedent Agreement. Prior to the In-Service Date, the remedies of a Party under
this Agreement will not apply if a remedy is available under the Terminal Precedent Agreement for the same occurrence or event.

	 	(i)	Operator’s and DTI’s aggregate liability to Customer (whether arising from an action in contract, tort or otherwise) for damages (including liquidated damages but excluding amounts paid pursuant to
Section 8.5) and for costs required to comply with an order of specific performance of any obligation under this Agreement and the Related Agreements shall not exceed $*** million ($*** million with regard to the Terminal, $*** million with
regard to the Cove Point Pipeline, and $*** million with regard to the DTI Pipeline); and

	10	DISPUTE RESOLUTION 

  

	10.1.	Good Faith Negotiation. The Parties involved in any dispute arising out of or in connection with this Agreement will attempt in good faith to resolve such dispute promptly through negotiation. Any dispute arising
under this Agreement will be a dispute subject to resolution under this Article. 

  

	10.2.	Initial Negotiation. To invoke the procedures set forth in this Article 10, a Party will provide written notice to the other Party, which notice will designate a manager for such purpose. Upon receiving such
written notice, the other Party will also designate a manager to meet to attempt to resolve the dispute. If the dispute has not been resolved within 45 days after the last date on which a Party received written notice to invoke the dispute
resolution procedures, then the dispute will be submitted to the senior executives of the Parties. The senior executives will meet within 15 days following a request for such meeting by any Party and will attempt to resolve the dispute within 30

	10.3.	Mediation. If the senior executives fail to resolve the dispute within 45 days after the date on which a request was made for such meeting, the Parties will meet to discuss the retention of a mediator for the

voluntary. If the Parties agree to non-binding mediation, they will mutually agree upon a mediator within 20 days of the initial meeting of the Parties with respect to the retention of a
mediator. The Parties will seek to resolve the dispute in an expeditious manner, and to the extent possible, within 30 days of commencement of mediation. The cost of any mediation under this Section 10.3 will be divided equally between the
Parties. Absent an agreement to mediate, each Party retains all rights to agree to arbitration or to resort to any other means to resolve the dispute in its sole discretion. 

 

	10.4.	Expert Resolution. The Parties acknowledge that certain issues relating to this Agreement may be suitable for resolution by a single expert or a panel of experts. If and to the extent that the Parties may agree

	13	MISCELLANEOUS 

  

	13.1.	Standard of Review. The Parties do not concede that the FERC has any authority to change aspects of this Agreement absent the agreement of all Parties to the proposed change. Were the FERC to have any authority
to do so, the standard of review for changes to this Agreement proposed by a Party, a non-party or the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission acting sua sponte shall be the “public interest” standard of review set forth in
United Gas Pipe Line Co. v. Mobile Gas Service Corp., 350 U.S. 332 (1956) and Federal Power Commission v. Sierra Pacific Power Co., 350 U.S. 348 (1956) (the “Mobile-Sierra” doctrine). 

 

	13.2.	Regulatory Proceedings. Customer and Operator may initiate and participate fully in any FERC ratemaking, rulemaking, tariff proceeding, other regulatory proceedings, and court cases that may directly or
indirectly affect the Expansion Services, the rates paid for those services, or related terms; provided, however, that neither Party may advance any position in any such a proceeding that would materially alter its obligations under
this Agreement, or, in the case of Operator, that would materially or adversely alter the service to be provided hereunder unless Customer has first agreed to such change and any necessary alteration of this Agreement. Subject to the foregoing
limitation, Operator shall have the right to propose and make effective with the FERC and any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction revisions to its FERC Gas Tariff, including the rate schedules included therein, without prejudice to the right
of Customer to contest or oppose such proposals. 

  

	13.3.	No Construction Against Drafter. Each and every provision of this Agreement will be considered as prepared through the joint efforts of the Parties and will not be construed against either Party as a result of
the preparation or drafting thereof. No consideration will be given or presumption made on the basis of who drafted any particular provision of this Agreement. 

  

	13.4.	No Third Party Beneficiaries. Except as expressly provided herein, nothing in this Agreement is intended or will be construed to confer upon or to give any person not a Party hereto any rights, remedies or
obligations under or by reason of this Agreement, except DTI with respect to Sections 9.3(d) and (e). 

  

	13.5.	Further Assurances. Each Party agrees to execute and deliver all such other and additional instruments and documents and to do such other acts as may be reasonably necessary to effectuate the terms and provisions
of this Agreement. 

  

	13.6.	Governing Laws. This Agreement will be subject to all applicable laws, federal or state and to all applicable rules and regulations of any duly authorized federal, state or other government agency having
jurisdiction over the transactions described herein. In the event of a conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and such laws, rules, orders and regulations, such laws, rules, orders

and regulations will control. The interpretation and performance of this Agreement will be in accordance with and controlled by the laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to any
conflict of laws principles other than New York General Obligations Law §§5-1401 and 5-1402. Each Party irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the federal courts of the United States for the Southern District of New York,
and if for any reason the Federal courts of the United States for the Southern District of New York will not or cannot hear any such action or proceeding, to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York that are located in
the Borough of Manhattan, New York. Each Party agrees that all claims with respect to this Agreement may be heard and determined in any of such courts. Each Party irrevocably waives any right to a jury trial in any court proceeding relating to this
Agreement. 

  

	13.7.	Written Agreement. This Agreement requires execution by both parties to create a binding contractual commitment. This Agreement can be modified only by a written agreement of the Parties. 

 

	13.8.	No Waiver. No waiver of either Party of any failure by the other Party in the performance of any provision, condition or requirement herein or such Party’s right to suspend performance due to a Force Majeure
event, will be deemed to be a waiver of, or in any manner release the other Party from, future performance of any other provision, condition or requirement herein or rights with respect to a future Force Majeure event, nor will such waiver be deemed
to be a waiver of, or in any manner release the other Party from, future performance of the same provision, condition or requirement. Any delay or omission of either Party to exercise any right hereunder will not impair the exercise of any such
right, or any like right, accruing to it thereafter. 

  

	13.9.	Construction. The titles to the paragraphs of this Agreement are included only for convenience and will have no effect on the construction or interpretation of this Agreement. References to Articles, Sections,
and Appendices are to those of this Agreement unless otherwise indicated; references to agreements and other contractual instruments will be deemed to include all exhibits and appendices thereto and all subsequent amendments and other modifications
to such instruments, to the extent such amendments and other modifications are not prohibited by the terms of this Agreement. In this Agreement, the word “including” will be deemed to mean “including without limitation.”
“$” will mean U.S. dollars. The term “will” has the same meaning as “shall,” and thus means an obligation. 

  

	13.10.	Survival. The provisions of and the obligations of the Parties under Sections 3.3(g), and 13.13 will survive the expiration or other termination of this Agreement. The expiration or termination of this Agreement
will not extinguish obligations of a Party to pay amounts that are accrued and due on or prior to the date of expiration or termination.

	13.11.	Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with the Related Agreements, reflects the whole and entire agreement of the Parties hereto and supersedes all prior agreements related to the subject matter hereof,
including (a) the letter of intent between Operator and Customer dated January 27, 2004, as modified by a letter dated January 29, 2004 and (b) upon the expiration of the Terminal Precedent Agreement, the Terminal Precedent
Agreement (except to the extent terms of the Terminal Precedent Agreement survive such termination by its terms). 

  

	13.12.	Waiver of Sovereign Immunity. To the extent Customer has or hereafter may acquire any immunity from jurisdiction of any court or from any legal process (whether through service or notice, attachment prior to
judgment, attachment in aid of execution or otherwise) with respect to itself, its revenues or its property, it hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to claim, such immunity for itself, its revenues and its properties in respect of its
obligations under this Agreement to the extent permitted by applicable law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Customer agrees that the waiver set forth in this paragraph shall have the fullest extent permitted under the Foreign
Sovereign Immunities Act of 1976 of the United States of America, as amended, and is intended to be irrevocable for purposes of such Act. 

  

	13.13.	Confidentiality. 

  

	 	(a)	 During the term of this Agreement and for a period of five years after the expiration or other termination of this Agreement, a Recipient of
Confidential Information will (i) keep the Confidential Information confidential and secret, and not, without previous written consent of Disclosing Party, directly or indirectly disclose the Confidential Information to any third party, except
as expressly permitted in clause (ii) or paragraph (b) below; (ii) disclose or divulge the Confidential Information (whether directly or indirectly and by whatever means or method) only to its and its Affiliates’ officers,
employees, agents, technical consultants, legal counsel, representatives or lenders (collectively, the “Representatives”) who have reason or need to know Confidential Information for the purpose of performing this Agreement and the
Related Agreements and ensure that all such Representatives to whom Confidential Information is disclosed are subject to reciprocal obligations of confidentiality reflecting the obligations of confidentiality set out herein (in all cases, the
Recipient will be responsible and liable for any breach of this Agreement by any Representative, including any third parties to which Confidential Information is disclosed whether directly or

indirectly by the Disclosing Party or the Recipient); and (iii) not use the Confidential Information for any purpose other than in the performance of this Agreement and the Related
Agreements or to the detriment of the party that disclosed the Confidential Information. A Recipient will exercise at least the same degree of care with respect to the Confidential Information as the Recipient uses in handling its own proprietary
non-public information, but in any event no less than reasonable care. For purposes of this Section 13.13, Petoro AS will be considered an Affiliate of Customer. 

 

	 	(b)	Notwithstanding Section 13.13(a), a Recipient or its Representatives may disclose Confidential Information when, in the manner and to the extent such disclosure of Confidential Information is required in order for
that Party or its Representatives to comply with any Legal Requirement. Any such required disclosure as described above is hereinafter referred to as a “Permitted Disclosure”. Each Recipient will, prior to any Permitted Disclosure
of Confidential Information, provide the Disclosing Party as much advance written notice as practical in order to afford the Disclosing Party the opportunity to seek an appropriate protective order or other remedy to prevent or narrow the disclosure
or to ensure that information will continue to be treated in as confidential a manner as possible. In the event such protective order or other remedy is not obtained, the notifying Recipient or its Representatives, as applicable, may disclose to any
tribunal, administrative or judicial body only that portion of the Confidential Information which it, in the sole opinion of its legal counsel, is legally required to disclose. Each Recipient or its Representatives will, if it is required by any
Legal Requirement to make any press release or other public statement or disclosure about the Discussions, give the Disclosing Party prior notice thereof and the opportunity to review and comment upon such release, statement or disclosure.

  

	 	(c)	Upon the written request of the Disclosing Party, at any time, the Recipient will, at its option, account for and either destroy or return to the Disclosing Party all tangible evidences or embodiments of Confidential
Information and formally advise the Disclosing Party to that effect in writing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Recipient will not be required to return or destroy Confidential Information where the Recipient is required to retain such Confidential
Information to comply with any applicable legal or regulatory requirements, provided that such retained Confidential Information is kept confidential in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

	 	(d)	Nothing contained herein will be construed as granting to any Party any license or right under any patent, copyright, or other intellectual property of the other Party nor will this Agreement impair the right of any
Party to contest the scope, validity or alleged infringement of any patent or copyright. The Confidential Information will remain the property of the Disclosing Party. 

 

	13.14.	Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original, but all of which will constitute one and the same agreement. 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be duly executed by their proper officers thereunto duly authorized as of the day and

 APPENDIX B 

CONSOLIDATED NATURAL GAS COMPANY. 

CERTIFICATE 
 Consolidated Natural Gas Company, a
                    corporation (the “Company”), DOES HEREBY CERTIFY, in connection with the Confidential Terminal Expansion Agreement
dated as of                     , 200     (the “TEA”) between Dominion Cove Point LNG, LP (“DCP”) and Statoil
Natural Gas LLC (“Statoil”), for the benefit of Statoil, that: 
  

	1.	Capitalized terms used herein which are not otherwise defined have the meaning set forth in the TEA. 

  

	2.	The Company certifies (i) that as of                     the Net Worth of DCP is not less than
$            as evidenced by the consolidated balance sheet attached hereto as Exhibit A, and (ii) the Net Worth is equal to or greater than the Minimum Amount as required by
Section 7.2(a) of the TEA. The Company agrees to take all actions necessary to ensure that Operator is in compliance with Section 7.2(a) of the TEA throughout the term of the TEA unless and until Operator’s obligations under
Section 7.2 of the TEA are excused pursuant to Section 7.2(e) of the TEA. 

  

	3.	The Company acknowledges that, pursuant to Section 9.2(d) of the TEA, in the event that an order of specific performance requiring DCP to continue to provide the LTD Expansion Service to Statoil is issued during
the term of the TEA, then to the extent the costs of compliance are less than or equal to $*** in accordance with Section 9.2(d) of the TEA and greater than the Net Worth of DCP as of the date of such order of specific performance,
Statoil may demand, and DCP will cause to be provided, a performance guaranty from the Company to guaranty DCP’s compliance with such order of specific performance unless the Company has provided a guaranty pursuant to Section 7.2(e) of
the TEA or has become jointly and severally liable together with DCP for any obligations of DCP arising from the enforcement by Statoil of its remedies under Article 9 of the TEA. In such event, and only in such event, upon demand by Statoil, the
Company will execute and deliver such a performance guaranty subject to the provisions of Section 9.2 of the TEA in a form substantially similar to the DRI Guarantee provided pursuant to the Terminal Precedent Agreement. 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, this certificate has been executed this             day
of                    .
