Section 1.3 Payment of Initial Purchase Price and Secondary Purchase Price. The “Initial Purchase Price,” if at any time such amount is payable pursuant to this Agreement, will be an amount equal to $36,229,200, less any Unconditioned Interest Extraordinary Distribution Amounts and as adjusted pursuant to the remainder of this Section 1.3, as applicable. The “Secondary Purchase Price,” if at any time such amount is payable pursuant to this Agreement, will be an amount equal to $27,330,800, less any Conditioned Interest Extraordinary Distribution Amounts and as adjusted pursuant to the remainder of this Section 1.3, as applicable; provided, however, the Secondary Purchase Price (as adjusted pursuant to this Section 1.3) shall not be less than $0. In the event (i) the aggregate Unconditioned Interest Extraordinary Distribution

Amounts exceeds the Initial Purchase Price, Seller shall pay to Buyer, by wire transfer in immediately available funds, an amount equal to such excess at the First Closing, and (ii) in the event the aggregate Conditioned Interest Extraordinary Distribution Amounts exceeds the Secondary Purchase Price, no amount shall be payable pursuant to the Secondary Purchase Price at the Second Closing, and, in each case, Buyer shall have no obligation to pay any portion of the Initial Purchase Price or the Secondary Purchase Price, as applicable, but the transactions contemplated at such Closing will still be consummated.

(a) The Initial Purchase Price and the Secondary Purchase Price, if any, as applicable, shall be payable as follows, subject to the adjustments set forth in the remainder of this Section 1.3:

(i) At the First Closing (whether in a Separate Closing or as part of a Dual Closing), Buyer shall deliver to Seller, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by Seller to Buyer, an amount equal to the Initial Purchase Price.

(ii) At the Second Closing (whether in a Separate Closing or as part of a Dual Closing), if any, Buyer shall deliver to Seller, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by Seller to Buyer, an amount equal to the Secondary Purchase Price.

(b) The Initial Purchase Price shall be increased, on a dollar-for-dollar basis, by an amount equal to the aggregate capital contributions (“Gulf LNG Capital Contributions”), if any, made by Seller to the Company in respect of the Unconditioned Interest pursuant to the terms of the Gulf LNG LLC Agreement between the date of this Agreement and the First Closing Date. No later than three Business Days prior to the First Closing Date, Seller shall deliver to Buyer written evidence reasonably satisfactory to Buyer setting forth the date and amount of each Gulf LNG Capital Contribution actually made by Seller to the Company between the date of this Agreement and the First Closing Date.

(c) The Secondary Purchase Price shall be increased, on a dollar-for-dollar basis, by an amount equal to the aggregate Gulf LNG Capital Contributions, if any, made by Seller to the Company in respect of the Conditioned Interest pursuant to the terms of the Gulf LNG LLC Agreement between the date of this Agreement and the Second Closing Date. No later than three Business Days prior to the Second Closing Date (if any), Seller shall deliver to Buyer written evidence reasonably satisfactory to Buyer setting forth the date and amount of each Gulf LNG Capital Contribution actually made by Seller to the Company between the date of this Agreement and the Second Closing Date.

(d) If, at any time prior to the First Closing or the Second Closing (if any), as applicable, Seller has not made the applicable Gulf LNG Capital Contribution that it is entitled to make in respect of the Unconditioned Interest or the Conditioned Interest within five Business Days of the date by which Seller is required to make such contribution in accordance with the Gulf LNG LLC Agreement (the “Contribution Deadline”), then Buyer will have the right, but not the obligation, to advance an amount of funds equal to the entire amount of the unpaid portion of such contribution to Seller for purposes of making such contribution (any such advanced amount, a “Buyer Advance”) and such right shall be exercisable by delivering written notice of such

exercise no later than five days following the Contribution Deadline. If Seller does not receive such written notice from Buyer during such five day period, then Buyer shall be deemed for all purposes to have elected not to exercise such right, and the below provisions shall not be applicable with respect to the applicable Gulf LNG Capital Contribution. If Buyer duly elects to make a Buyer Advance in accordance with the foregoing, then, subject to Buyer’s actual funding of such Buyer Advance, Buyer shall be entitled to receive the aggregate amount of such Buyer Advance, plus quarterly, compounding interest accruing on such amount from and after the date of such funding at a rate equal to 6%, payable out of, and recourse to, any and all Ordinary Course Distributions that would otherwise be payable to Seller (i) between the date of this Agreement and the First Closing Date (with respect to Gulf LNG Capital Contributions required to be made by Seller to the Company in respect of the Unconditioned Interest pursuant to Section 1.3(b)) or (ii) between the date of this Agreement and (A) if the Second Closing occurs, the Second Closing Date (with respect to Gulf LNG Capital Contributions required to be made by Seller to the Company in respect of the Conditioned Interest pursuant to Section 1.3(c)), or (B) if the Second Closing does not occur, the date on which all such amounts and interest accrued thereon are repaid. In the event Buyer is entitled to all or any portion of any Ordinary Course Distribution paid to Seller pursuant to this Section 1.3(d) in respect of a Buyer Advance, Seller shall deliver such amounts to Buyer no later than three Business Days after such Ordinary Course Distributions are received by Seller. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Merger Agreement or any other document or instrument relating to the Transactions, if, with respect to any Gulf LNG Capital Contribution that Seller is entitled to make in respect of the Unconditioned Interest or the Conditioned Interest before the First Closing or the Second Closing (if any), Buyer does not make a Buyer Advance in respect of such contribution, then Seller shall have no obligation to make such contribution.

(e) In the event the conditions set forth in Article VI are satisfied (or waived) with respect to the Second Closing and the Parties are ready, willing and able to consummate the Second Closing, and the aggregate net amount of damages awarded to Eni by the arbitration tribunal in the Gulf LNG Arbitration is greater than $10,000,000 but less than $25,000,000, the Secondary Purchase Price will be decreased, on a dollar-for-dollar basis, by an amount equal to the aggregate net amount of damages awarded to Eni with respect to the Gulf LNG Arbitration minus $10,000,000, multiplied by 4.16154%. In the event the aggregate net amount of damages awarded to Eni with respect to the Gulf LNG Arbitration is equal to or less than $10,000,000, there shall be no adjustment to the Secondary Purchase Price pursuant to this Section 1.3(e).

Section 8.3 Claims.

(a) Any Buyer Indemnified Party or Seller Indemnified Party making a claim for indemnification under this Article VIII (an “Indemnitee”) shall notify the indemnifying party (an “Indemnitor”) of the claim in writing after receiving written notice of any Proceeding or other claim against it (if by a third party), describing in reasonable detail the claim, the amount thereof (if known and quantifiable), and the basis thereof; provided, that the failure to so notify an Indemnitor shall not relieve an Indemnitor of its obligations hereunder, except to the extent that an Indemnitor’s forfeit rights or defenses are actually prejudiced thereby. The Indemnitor shall have 30 calendar days from the date upon which the Indemnitor received the claim notice within which to notify the Indemnitee that the Indemnitor desires to assume the defense or prosecution of and any litigation resulting from such Proceeding or other claim giving rise to the Indemnitee’s claim for indemnification with counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnitee and at the Indemnitor’s expense; provided, that (i) the Indemnitee shall be entitled to participate in the defense of such claim and to employ counsel of its choice for such purpose; provided further that the fees and expenses of such separate counsel shall be borne entirely by the Indemnitee; (ii) the Indemnitor shall not be entitled to assume control of such defense if (A) the claim for indemnification relates to or arises in connection with any criminal proceeding, (B) the claim primarily seeks an injunction or other equitable relief against an Indemnitee or (C) an

adverse determination with respect to such Proceeding or other claim would be materially detrimental to or materially injure the reputation or future business prospects of an Indemnitee; and (iii) if the Indemnitor shall control the defense or prosecution of any such Proceeding or other claim, such Indemnitor shall obtain the prior written consent of the Indemnitee (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) before entering into any settlement of a claim; provided, however, an Indemnitor may settle or consent to the entry of judgment in respect of such claim without the consent of the Indemnitee, if such settlement or judgment is solely for money damages, includes an unconditional release of the Indemnitee from any further liability in respect of such Proceeding or other claim and does not contain any admission of wrongdoing on the part of the Indemnitee. If the Indemnitor does not assume the defense of such Proceeding or other claim within 30 days of receipt of the Indemnitee’s notice thereof, the Indemnitee will be entitled to assume such defense, at its sole cost and expense (or, if the Indemnitee incurs Damages with respect to the matter in question for which the Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Article VIII, at the expense of the Indemnitor), upon delivery of notice to such effect to the Indemnitor; provided, however, that the Indemnitor shall have the right to participate in the defense of the Proceeding or other claim at its sole cost and expense.

(b) Any amounts owing under this Article VIII shall be made (without interest) by wire transfer of immediately available funds within three Business Days after the earlier of (i) the agreement of the Buyer Parties, on the one hand, and Seller and the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Entities, on the other hand, that such amounts are due and owing by such Party as an Indemnitor in respect thereof or (ii) the final, binding determination that such amounts are due and owing by such Party as an Indemnitor in respect thereof by a court of competent jurisdiction.

After the First Closing, with respect to any indemnifiable matters arising in connection with the First Closing, and after the Second Closing (if any), with respect to all indemnifiable matters, in each case except in the case of actual fraud, each Party acknowledges that the indemnification obligations of the Parties set forth in Article VIII are the sole and exclusive remedy of the Buyer Parties and their respective Affiliates against Seller and the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Entities, on the one hand, and of Seller, the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Entities and their respective Affiliates against the Buyer Parties, on the other hand, with respect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, whether asserted against Seller, the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Entities or any of the Buyer Parties, as applicable, or their respective former, current and future holders of any equity, partnership or limited liability company interest, controlling persons, directors, officers, employees, agents, attorneys, Affiliates, members, managers, general or limited partners, stockholders or assignees. In furtherance of the foregoing, each of Seller, the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Entities and the Buyer Parties hereby waives, from and after the First Closing and the Second Closing, as applicable, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law, any and all rights, claims and causes of action it may have relating to the subject matter of this Agreement based upon predecessor or successor liability, contribution, tort, strict liability or any Law or otherwise, in each case except in the case of actual fraud.
