| 6.2.2 | as may be agreed in any Annual Budget or as provided in Clause 6.3;and/or

No Shareholder (nor any Affiliate nominated by it in accordance with Clause 6.2) will be obliged to contribute in aggregate by way of additional funding and/or by the provision of guarantees or securities on behalf of the Company an amount in excess of its Agreed Proportion of Total Shareholders’ Commitment (or such other Dollar amount as the Shareholders may agree).

The commitment of the Shareholders to provide additional funding in the Agreed Proportions as provided in this Clause 6.2 and Clause 6.3, will apply only while the Time Charter remains in force.

9

6.3 | For the purpose of determining whether a Shareholder’s Agreed Proportion of the Total Shareholders’ Commitment has been or will be exceeded, the principal amount of a Shareholder’s contingent liability under any such guarantee or security which is outstanding for the time being will be aggregated with the amount of all Shareholder Loans or other amounts made available by that Shareholder by way of additional funding to the Company, but will be disregarded once such guarantee or security has been released or discharged. An amount paid by a Shareholder pursuant to any claim under such guarantee or security will be deemed to be a Shareholder Loan in that amount to the Company on whose behalf the guarantee or security was provided.

6.4 | The Shareholders agree to cooperate in arranging debt financing to part fund the purchase, owning and management of the Vessels with the intention that such financing should be on a non-recourse or limited recourse basis and for 70% - 80% of the delivered cost of each Vessel (the “Debt Financing”).

The Shareholders have appointed Société Générale S.A. to act as financial advisor to assist the Joint Venture Company with obtaining Debt Financing. All costs incurred in connection with obtaining the Debt Financing including the fees payable to Société Générale S.A. including those incurred during the bid process in accordance with the mandate letter dated 29th October 2013 from Société Générale S.A. to, and accepted by Teekay on 31st October 2013 shall be for the account of the Shareholders in proportion to their Agreed Proportions.

| 6.5.3 | shall accrue interest at the rate of three hundred per cent (300%) per annum above LIBOR compounded at six-monthly intervals if not paid; and

| 6.5.4 | shall be repayable to the Shareholders on a pari passu basis only out of the distributable profits of the Joint Venture Company in priority to any dividend or other distribution, at such times as may be agreed by all the Shareholders or otherwise on the liquidation of the Joint Venture Company.

6.6 | The provisions of Clause 6.5 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to amounts on-lent by the Joint Venture Company to each Vessel Owning Company except that the reference to the Shareholder shall be construed as a reference to the Joint Venture Company.

6.7 | The Shareholders’ Loans will be made available by the Shareholders by way of cash advances to the Joint Venture Company and/or by the Joint Venture Company by way of cash advances to the relevant Vessel Owning Company in Dollars and in such funds as may be customary at the time for settlement of transaction in Dollars in the place of payment for value not later than the day on which banks are open for business in New York City immediately preceding the date upon which the relevant payment is due to be made, provided that at least ten (10) Business Days’ written notice of the requirement of funds, and the amount required, is given to each of the Shareholders by the Joint Venture Company in a notice signed with the authority of the Board of the Joint Venture Company by at least one Teekay Director and one CLNG Director and provided further that the Joint Venture Company shall contemporaneously be requesting Shareholder Loans from both Shareholders in the Agreed Proportions of the aggregate amount required by the Joint Venture Company.

10

6.8 | Without prejudice to Clause 15 the Shareholders further agree that if Shareholder Loans are to be made available and sufficient written notice has been given of the due date as provided in Clause 6.7, and any one of the Shareholders (the “defaulting party”) fails to make or to procure that its Affiliate makes the necessary advance in the amount or at the time specified in Clause 6.7 or as otherwise provided herein, then without prejudice to any other rights of the other Shareholder, such other Shareholder may advance the amount in default to the Joint Venture Company, on behalf of the defaulting party, and the amount in question shall be deemed to be a debt due from the defaulting party to such other Shareholder. Such other Shareholder (the “non-defaulting party”), will not be obliged to make the advance in question and its rights to terminate this Agreement due to the default of the defaulting party in accordance with Clause 15 shall remain unchanged if it decides not to advance such amount in question. In the event of such an advance, the non-defaulting party shall be entitled to recover the amount so advanced together with interest accrued from the defaulting party as a debt due from the defaulting party and repayable upon demand, upon which interest shall be calculated at the rate of five hundred per cent. (500%) per annum above LIBOR (both before and after judgment) from the date of such advance to the date of actual payment, and all interest shall be compounded semi-annually.

6.9 | Where the Shareholders (or their Affiliates) (the “Guarantors”) give any guarantee or indemnity on behalf of a Company (a “Relevant Security”), they shall do so in the Agreed Proportions in respect of that Company, and their liability shall be several, and not joint or joint and several, unless otherwise agreed. If a Guarantor incurs any liability, that Guarantor shall be entitled to a contribution from the other Guarantor to ensure that the aggregate liability of the Guarantors is borne by the Guarantors in the Agreed Proportions in respect of the relevant Company. Without prejudice to the foregoing, where any Shareholder or any Affiliate of a Shareholder (a “Relevant Guarantor”) gives a Relevant Security in respect of the obligations of any Company but the other Shareholder does not do so, then (provided always that the giving of such Relevant Security has previously been approved by such other Shareholder, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) if the Relevant Guarantor is required to make any payment under the Relevant Security, such Relevant Guarantor shall be entitled to a contribution from the other Shareholder to ensure that the liability under such Relevant Security is shared by the Shareholders in the Agreed Proportions. The provisions of this Clause 6.9 take effect subject to the provisions of Clause 6.10. Any called guarantee or security provided by a Shareholder or its Affiliate(s) shall be treated as a Shareholder Loan so that Clause 6.5 shall apply.

6.10 | Where a Relevant Security is given the following provisions shall apply:

| 6.10.1 | The Relevant Guarantor will:

| (a) | not agree any amendment to the terms of the Relevant Security or waive any of the Relevant Guarantor’s rights under the Relevant Security without, in either case, the other Shareholder’s prior written approval;

| (b) | promptly notify the other Shareholder in writing if any claim or demand is made of the Relevant Guarantor under the Relevant Security, giving the other Shareholder a copy or copies of the same;

| (c) | not, prior to the first date on which it is legally obliged to do so, pay or settle or admit any liability under the demand or claim (or otherwise in relation to the Relevant Security) without the prior written consent of the other Shareholder (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed);

| (d) | if reasonably requested to do so by the other Shareholder in circumstances where reasonable grounds to do so exist, contest the claim or demand by appropriate proceedings with lawyers approved by the other Shareholder in

11

| writing (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), provided always that the other Shareholder shall reimburse the Relevant Guarantor for its Agreed Proportion of all costs and expenses (including, without limitation, legal costs and taxes thereon) incurred by the Relevant Guarantor in pursuing such contest;

| (e) | to the extent that it can do so without breaching any confidentiality obligations binding on it, keep the other Shareholder fully informed as to the conduct of any proceedings in relation to any claim or demand or otherwise in relation to the Relevant Security, and not take any major step in the same without the written approval of the other Shareholder (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed);

| 6.10.2 | The obligation of the other Shareholder to make its contribution to the Relevant Guarantor is also subject as follows:

| (a) | without limitation to Clause 6.10.1(c), if, prior to the Relevant Guarantor’s making a request for a contribution from the other Shareholder, the Relevant Guarantor has paid the beneficiary of the Relevant Security in whole or in part, the Relevant Guarantor’s providing the other Shareholder with satisfactory evidence of such payment; and

| (b) | the other Shareholder’s right, in the event that the Relevant Guarantor has not provided the other Shareholder with satisfactory evidence that the Relevant Guarantor has paid the relevant amount claimed or demanded under the Relevant Security in full, to pay such amount as it may consider appropriate to the beneficiary of the Relevant Security direct, which shall be deemed, to the extent of the payment made, to be a good discharge of that Shareholder’s liability to contribute to the Relevant Guarantor in respect of such claim or demand.

7.2 | For so long as this Agreement is in force each of the Shareholders shall be entitled to appoint the number of Directors of each Company in office at any one time as is found by multiplying the maximum number specified in Clause 7.1 by the Agreed Proportion of that Shareholder, rounded to the nearest whole number.

Any such resolution may consist of several counterparts, provided that each such counterpart is signed by all the Directors.

8.7 | The Shareholders shall take such steps as lie within their power:

8.10 | Each Shareholder shall promptly notify the other as soon as it becomes aware of:

| 8.10.1 | the occurrence of any event which constitutes a default or event of default or any event which with the giving of notice or lapse of time or the satisfaction of any other condition (or any combination thereof) would constitute a default or event of default, under any indebtedness of any Company;

Either Shareholder shall have the right, on reasonable notice, to require that the books and records of any Company be audited (at the expense of that Shareholder) by a firm of independent auditors nominated by that Shareholder, and the Shareholders shall ensure that such firm is given such cooperation as may be necessary to enable it to perform the audit. The Shareholder commissioning the audit shall provide a copy of the audit report to the other Shareholder.

8.12 | CLNG shall have the right to second one person to the office of the Corporate Service Provider to perform the corporate services of any Company in any respect as CLNG deems

16

10. | RESERVED MATTERS

10.1 | Subject to Clauses 10.2 and 15.11, but notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no action may be taken by or in relation to any Company in relation to a Reserved Matter without the agreement of all the Shareholders. Each Shareholder may give its agreement, as may be appropriate, either:

| 10.1.1 | in writing by its authorised representatives;

| 10.1.2 | by the Director or Directors representing it on the Board of the relevant Company; or

| 10.1.3 | by its authorised representative in its capacity as a member of the Joint Venture Company at a general meeting of the Joint Venture Company.

10.2 | For avoidance of doubt, where in this Agreement it is provided, as the case may be, that a particular matter is agreed by the Shareholders or that a Company shall take a particular action, then notwithstanding the provisions of Schedule 1, it shall not be necessary that all the Shareholders give their further agreement to such matter or the taking of such action.

10.3 | Each Shareholder shall provide to the other from time to time details of the persons authorised to represent it and of their respective powers to bind that Shareholder, and of any revocation or restriction of their authority.

11. | TRANSFER OF SHARES IN THE JOINT VENTURE COMPANY

11.1 | No Shareholder shall without the prior written consent of the other Shareholder (such consent being valid for 20 Business Days), sell, assign, transfer, give, donate, or otherwise dispose of or grant a security interest over any of its Shares or Shareholder Loans in the Joint Venture Company or any portion thereof or any right or interest therein now held or hereafter acquired except in accordance with the provisions of this Clause 11 or Clauses 15 and 17.

11.2 | It is a condition precedent to any transfer of any Shares or assignment of any Shareholder Loans to a person not already a party to this Agreement that such person agrees in writing by deed in a form reasonably satisfactory to the parties to be bound by the terms of this Agreement prior to such transfer becoming effective.

11.3 | Any transfer or purported transfer made otherwise than in accordance with the provisions of this Clause 11 or Clauses 15 and 17, shall be void and of no effect whatsoever and the parties shall procure that the management shall not register the same.

11.4 | If at any time either Shareholder (the “Selling Shareholder”) wishes to sell, assign, transfer, give, donate or otherwise dispose of all (but not part only) of its Shares (the “Offered Shares”) and all (but not part only) of its Shareholder Loans (the “Offered Loans” and together with the Offered Shares, the “Offered Interests”) the Selling Shareholder shall first deliver written notice (“Notice of Sale”) to the other party (the “Non-Selling Shareholder”) of its intention to sell the Offered Interests. A Notice of Sale shall name the proposed transferees (if any), specify the price (if any) offered by a third party per Offered Share (the “Share Price”) and per $1 outstanding on the Offered Loans (the “Loan Price”), the terms of payment including but not limited to replacement of the Selling Shareholder’s owner guarantee provided in accordance with the Time Charter and the Shipbuilding Contract, and other relevant terms and conditions, and shall have attached thereto, if relevant, a copy of any bona fide arm’s length offer made by a third party (a “Bona Fide Offer”) in respect of the Offered Interests.

17

11.5 | In response to the Notice of Sale, the Non-Selling Shareholder must exercise one of the following two options, which must be communicated to the Selling Shareholder within 60 Business Days of the date of receipt of the Notice of Sale:

(a) to refuse the transfer to a third party and purchase the Offered Interests itself at the Fair Market Value, and, if relevant, otherwise on terms no less favourable to the Non-Selling Shareholder than those constituting the Bona Fide Offer (save that the Selling Shareholder shall not be required to give any warranties or indemnities to the Non-Selling Shareholder, other than as specified in Clause 11.11 below);

The right of first refusal contained in option (a) above shall be exercised within 30 Business Days after the date of receipt of the Notice of Sale, within which period the Non-Selling Shareholder, if it wishes to acquire the Offered Interests, must deliver to the Selling Shareholder written notice of the Non-Selling Shareholder’s election (an “Election”) to purchase the Offered Interests, such election stating whether or not the Non-Selling Shareholder requires the Fair Market Value to be determined in accordance with Clause 11.8 below.

(b) to consent to the transfer of the Offered Interests to a third party.

If the Non-Selling Shareholder fails to give notice to the Selling Shareholder of its Election within a period of 60 Business Days after the date of receipt of the Notice of Sale, he will be deemed to have chosen option (b) above.

If the Non-Selling Shareholder, in accordance with this Clause, has given notice to the Selling Shareholder of its consent to the transfer of the Offered Interests to the proposed transferee, the Selling Shareholder shall have the right to sell the Offered Interests within a period of 20 Business Days from the date of receipt of the notice from the Non-Selling Shareholder on terms no more favourable for the transferee than the terms offered to the Non-Selling Shareholder.

11.6 | If an Election is made within the period referred to in Clause 11.5 in respect of all of the Offered Interests, the Non-Selling Shareholder shall be obliged to purchase, and the Selling Shareholder shall be obliged to sell to the Non-Selling Shareholder, notwithstanding his right to revoke the Election in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Offered Interests at the Fair Market Value and otherwise, if relevant, on the terms specified in Clause 11.4 within 10 Business Days of the date of the determination of the Fair Market Value under Clause 11.8.

11.7 | Completion of the purchase and sale of the Offered Interests pursuant to an Election shall take place at the principal office of the Company (or such other location as may be agreed upon by the Selling Shareholder and the Non-Selling Shareholder) within 10 Business Days of the date of determination of the Fair Market Value under Clause 11.8 when:

(a) the Selling Shareholder and the Non-Selling Shareholder shall record the transfer of the Offered Shares in the share register of the Company and both parties shall sign such share register;

(b) the Selling Shareholder shall deliver to the Non-Selling Shareholder a duly executed assignment in respect of the Offered Loans and the certificate(s) representing the Offered Shares (if any);

18

(c) the Non-Selling Shareholder purchasing the Offered Interests shall deliver to the Selling Shareholder the consideration for the Offered Interests calculated at the Fair Market Value and otherwise, if relevant, on the terms specified in Clause 11.4;

(d) the Non-Selling Shareholder shall procure the release of the Selling Shareholder or such Selling Shareholder’s Guarantor from any guarantees, indemnities or other undertakings given by it in respect of the obligations of the Joint Venture Company or any of the Vessel Owning Companies and, pending such release shall indemnify and keep indemnified the Selling Shareholder against any liability incurred by the Selling Shareholder under or in respect of any such guarantee, indemnity or undertaking;

(e) the Selling Shareholder shall procure the removal of any Director appointed by it to the Company;

(f) the Selling Shareholder shall pay all amounts owed by it or any of its Affiliates to the Company or any of its Affiliates;

(g) the parties shall do all such other things and execute such other agreements and documents as may reasonably be required to give effect to the sale and purchase of the relevant Offered Interests; and

(h) subject to payment by the Non-Selling Shareholder of any relevant stamp duties, the Non-Selling Shareholder (or such person as it may direct) shall be noted as assignee of the Offered Loans and registered as holder of the Offered Shares.

11.8 | For the purposes of this Clause 11, the “Fair Market Value” shall mean:

(a) if a Share Price and/or Loan Price is specified under Clause 11.4 and the Election does not require the Fair Market Value to be determined in accordance with Clause 11.8(b), the relevant Share Price and/or Loan Price;

(b) if no Price is specified under Clause 11.4 or the Election requires the Fair Market Value to be determined in accordance with this Clause 11.8(b), the price per share and/or per $1 outstanding of the Offered Loans:

(i) agreed between the Selling Shareholder and the Non-Selling Shareholder who has made an Election within 10 Business Days of the end of the period for making an Election specified in Clause 11.5 as the Share Price and/or Loan Price; or

(ii) failing agreement in accordance with Clause 11.8(b)(i) determined, at the request of the Selling Shareholder or the Non-Selling Shareholder, to be the fair market value of the Offered Interests determined by the Auditors in accordance with Clause 11.9. In the event that the Auditors are not permitted to determine the Fair Market Value due to regulatory restrictions, an independent auditor from an international audit firm shall be appointed.

A Non-Selling Shareholder who has made an Election shall only be entitled to revoke the same if it is dissatisfied with the Fair Market Value determined under Clause 11.8(b)(ii) within 5 Business Days of such determination.

11.9 | In determining the Fair Market Value, the Auditors shall:

(a) take account of the net asset value of the Company as a going concern and such other matters as they may consider to be relevant;

19

(b) take no account of the proportion which the Offered Shares bear to the then issued share capital of the Company or which the Offered Loans bear to the aggregate of the Shareholder Loans; and

(c) be considered to be acting as experts and not as arbitrators.

11.10 | Each party shall supply the Auditors with such information as they may reasonably require for the purposes of making a determination under Clause 11.9. The cost of such determination shall be borne by the Selling Shareholder and the Non-Selling Shareholder in equal proportions.

11.11 | All Shares or Shareholder Loans sold by one Shareholder to the other Shareholder pursuant to the provisions of this Clause 11 or Clauses 15 and 17 shall be sold with full title guarantee together with all rights conferred thereon and free from all Security Interests or other adverse interests, rights, equities, claims or potential claims of any description.

11.12 | The Selling Shareholder hereby appoints the Non-Selling Shareholder purchasing any Offered Shares (or any Director nominated by that Shareholder) irrevocably, and by way of security for the performance of the Selling Shareholder’s obligations under this Clause 11, as its attorney or attorneys to execute any agreement or document required to be executed by the Selling Shareholder under this Clause 11 including, without limitation, any transfer of Offered Shares, provided always that this power of attorney shall not apply in favour of any such Non-Selling Shareholder who has failed to tender payment for the relevant Offered Shares or to comply with any of its other obligations under this Clause 11.

11.13 | Subject to the provisions of Clause 11.2, the provisions of this Clause 11 shall not apply to any transfer of Shares:

(a) mutually consented to in writing by each of the Shareholders, such consent being valid only for a period of 20 Business Days; or

(b) by either Shareholder to any Affiliate of that Shareholder, provided that if such transferee pursuant hereto shall cease to be an Affiliate of that Shareholder, that Shareholder shall procure that such transferee shall, transfer any Shares held by it to that Shareholder or another Affiliate of that Shareholder.

11.14 | Notwithstanding the above no transfer of Shares shall be permitted or consented to without consent of Charterer where such proposed transfer would constitute a change of control as defined in the Time Charters.

11.15 | (a) Notwithstanding the above, Teekay shall be permitted to transfer the Shares in the Joint Venture Company then held by it (the “Teekay Shares”) to CLNG or its Affiliate where a Sanctions Event (as such term is defined in each of the Time Charters) has occurred and, following a consultation period between the relevant Vessel Owning Company and the Charterer in accordance with clause [ ] of each of the Time Charters, it is determined that such transfer of the Teekay Shares will remove the effect of the Sanctions Event.

(b) The price payable by CLNG or its Affiliate for the Teekay Shares (the “Purchase Price”) will be the delivered cost of each Vessel amortized to a $30 million scrap assuming a useful life from actual date of Delivery of the Vessel until 31st December 2045, less the book value of outstanding debt of each Company, adjusted for the fair market value of other assets or liabilities in each Company on the day of transfer, multiplied by Teekay’s respective Agreed Proportion. For the purposes of this Subclause ‘fair market value’ means the highest price available in an open and unrestricted market between informed and prudent parties, acting at arm’s length and under no compulsion to act, expressed in terms of money or money’s worth. Should such transfer of Teekay Shares take place prior to delivery of a

20

Vessel, the value attributed to that Vessel for the purposes of calculating the Purchase Price shall be the value of the Losses as such term is defined in the Undertaking given by the Charterer to each of the Vessel Owning Companies pursuant to the respective Time Charters.

(c) Following such transfer of Teekay Shares, in the event that a Sanctions Event is no longer applicable, CLNG or its Affiliate, as the case may be, shall as soon as practicable transfer the Teekay Shares, or such proportion of the Teekay Shares as may be agreed between Teekay and CLNG, to Teekay. The price payable by Teekay shall be the Purchase Price calculated on the day of transfer. Where the Teekay Shares have been transferred to CLNG or its Affiliate, neither CLNG nor its Affiliate, as the case may be, shall be permitted to transfer the Teekay Shares, other than to Teekay, without the prior consent of Teekay.

(d) In the event that it is determined that a transfer of Teekay Shares to CLNG or its Affiliate will not remove the effect of the Sanctions Event or [CLNG is unable to accept a transfer of the Teekay Shares], Teekay shall be permitted, subject to the consent of the Charterer, to transfer the Teekay Shares to a third party not impacted by a Sanctions Event (the “Transferee”) in accordance with this Clause 11, save that Clauses 11.4, 11.5 and 11.6 shall not apply. Following such transfer of Teekay Shares, in the event that a Sanctions Event is no longer applicable, the Transferee shall be obliged to, and as soon as practicable, transfer the Teekay Shares to Teekay in accordance with the terms of this Clause 11, save that Clauses 11.4, 11.5 and 11.6 shall not apply and consent of CLNG to such transfer shall not be required. CLNG shall procure that the Transferee shall not be permitted to transfer the Teekay Shares without the prior consent of Teekay.

(e) | Where a Sanctions Event prevents Teekay Shipping Limited from performing its obligations as Ship Manager, or it is unwilling to continue as Ship Manager when a Sanctions Event is applicable, the Shareholders will use reasonable endeavours to procure the consent of the Charterer to CLISCO being appointed as Ship Manager. Teekay will consult with CLISCO to determine any assistance Teekay can provide to CLISCO in its role as Ship Managers including considering the provision of resources to CLISCO from Teekay such as senior office staff and sea staff support on temporary secondment or longer-term employment contract basis.

12. | OTHER BUSINESS

12.1 | Nothing in this Agreement shall restrict either of Teekay or CLNG or their respective Affiliates from conducting their normal business operations including, but without limitation, sea transportation of LNG and/or other energy related cargoes, or investment in entities doing such business, provided that in carrying on such business that Shareholder or the relevant Affiliate:

| 12.1.1 | shall not abuse its position or any information obtained by it relating to the Business of any Company;

| 12.1.2 | shall not knowingly engage in any practices which are of a commercially unfair nature or which are otherwise likely to harm the Business of any Company; and

| 12.1.3 | shall not be in breach of the relevant Shareholder’s obligations as contemplated under this Agreement.

13. | CONFIDENTIALITY

13.1 | Neither of the Shareholders shall at any time disclose or make available to any person any information which relates in any way to any business or affairs of any Company or of the

21

| other Shareholder or any such information which it has acquired as a result of being connected with any Company or the other Shareholder. The Shareholders shall further use all reasonable endeavours to ensure that their Affiliates, each Company and the Affiliates of each Company, and the officers, employees and agents of each of them, shall observe a similar duty of confidence in favour of the Shareholders and the Companies.

13.2 | Clause 13.1 does not apply to:

| 13.2.1 | any information already in the public domain other than by virtue of a breach by the disclosing party of Clause 13.1;

| 13.2.2 | a bona fide disclosure on a confidential basis to any Affiliate and, for this purpose, as between the Shareholders,

| 13.2.3 | a bona fide disclosure of information on a confidential basis, between the Shareholders, in connection with the performance of either Shareholder’s obligations under this Agreement;

| 13.2.4 | a bona fide disclosure of information in connection with any actual or prospective proceedings arising out of or in connection with this Agreement provided that the party making the disclosure shall first obtain a written confidentiality undertaking from the recipient(s) of the disclosed information made in terms no less onerous than Clause 13.1 and each party agrees to take all reasonable steps to enforce any confidentiality agreement obtained by it;

| 13.2.5 | a bona fide disclosure of information to a competent judicial, governmental, supervisory or regulatory authority or to inspectors or others authorised by such an authority or by or under any legislation to carry out any enquiries or investigations provided that the party making the disclosure shall inform the recipient(s) of the disclosure of the confidential nature of the information disclosed;

| 13.2.6 | the bona fide disclosure of information required under the rules of any stock exchange on which the shares or securities of either Shareholder (or any of its shareholders or Affiliates for the time being) are listed provided that the party making the disclosure shall inform the recipient(s) of the disclosed information of the confidential nature of the disclosed information

22

| directly or indirectly that Shareholder may have an interest from time to time or their compliance with applicable laws and regulations. The Shareholders shall cooperate to seek the agreement of the other owners and operators of vessels for the time being under charter to Charterer or its Affiliates to establish suitable arrangements for the exchange, on a confidential basis, of any technical and operational data and information which may from time to time come into the possession of any of the Shareholders or such owners or operators (except to the extent that they may be restricted from making such disclosure) which may assist (and only for that purpose) to ensure the safe and efficient operation of the Vessels and such other vessels or their compliance with applicable laws and regulations. For avoidance of doubt the references in this Clause 13.3 to “technical and operational data and information” shall not extend to commercial or financial information.

13.4 | Neither of the Shareholders shall be entitled to make or permit or authorise the making of any press release or other public statement or disclosure concerning this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated in it without the prior written consent of the other Shareholder (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed). Such restriction shall not apply to any release, statement or disclosure required by any governmental, supervisory or regulatory authority or any stock exchange, but before either Shareholder makes any such release, statement or disclosure, it shall, if and to the extent lawful and practicable, first supply a copy of it to the other Shareholder and shall include any amendment or addition reasonably requested by that other Shareholder.

13.5 | All rights and obligations of the Shareholders under this Clause 13 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

14. | TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT

14.1 | This Agreement shall continue in full force and effect until terminated in accordance with the provisions of this Clause 14.

14.2 | If at any time, as a result of a transfer of Shares made in accordance with this Agreement and/or the Joint Venture Company’s Constitution not more than one of the Shareholders holds any Shares in the capital of the Joint Venture Company or if an effective resolution is passed to wind up the Joint Venture Company or if a liquidator of the Joint Venture Company is otherwise appointed:

| 14.2.1 | this Agreement shall terminate; and

| 14.2.2 | where the corporate name of any Company or any part contains any word the same or similar to the corporate name or any distinctive part of the corporate name of the party who is no longer a shareholder, the Shareholder remaining as a shareholder of the Joint Venture Company shall procure that within thirty (30) days the corporate name of that Company or those Companies shall be changed so as to exclude such word.

14.3 | If:

| 14.3.1 | all the Shipbuilding Contracts have been terminated without any of the Vessels having been delivered to the Vessel Owning Companies; or

| 14.3.2 | all the Vessels have been sold or have become an actual, constructive or agreed total loss;

23

then, unless otherwise agreed, subject to all reasonable and necessary action having been taken (which the Shareholders will procure to be promptly taken) to terminate the Companies’ activities following such event, insofar as relating to the Companies, this Agreement shall be terminated and the Joint Venture Company and each Vessel Owning Company shall be wound up.

14.4 | Termination of this Agreement shall be without prejudice to all accrued rights and obligations of the Shareholders as at the date of termination.

14.5 | On a winding-up of the Joint Venture Company, the Shareholders shall endeavour to agree a suitable basis for dealing with the interests and assets of each Company and shall endeavour to ensure that:

| 14.5.1 | all existing contracts of each Company are performed so far as resources permit;

| 14.5.2 | no new contractual obligations are entered into by any Company; and

| 14.5.3 | each Company shall be wound up as soon as practicable.

15. | DEFAULT

15.1 | If any of the events set out in Clause 15.2 shall occur, in relation to a Shareholder (the “Defaulting Shareholder”), and the other Shareholder shall have given notice in writing (a “Default Notice”) to the Defaulting Shareholder to be copied to the Joint Venture Company, that the provisions of this Clause 15 shall apply, the provisions of this Clause 15 shall apply accordingly.

15.2 | The events referred to in Clause 15.1 are:

| 15.2.1 | the Defaulting Shareholder fails to make any payment in excess in aggregate of $1,000,000 when due under this Agreement and fails to remedy such breach within thirty (30) days of being specifically required in writing to do so by the other Shareholder. For this purpose, an amount shall be deemed to be due if admitted in writing to be due by the Defaulting Shareholder, or due under any final and non-appealable arbitration award rendered in accordance with this Agreement;

| 15.2.2 | the Defaulting Shareholder commits a material breach of this Agreement (other than a default in payment) and, where such breach is capable of remedy, fails to remedy such breach within thirty (30) days of being specifically required in writing to do so by the other Shareholder; or

| 15.2.3 | a distress, execution, sequestration or other process is levied or enforced upon or against a material part of the Defaulting Shareholder’s property which is not discharged within thirty (30) days (for this purpose a mere arrest of a ship for security shall be disregarded); or

| 15.2.4 | the Defaulting Shareholder becomes insolvent or is unable to pay its debts or commences negotiations or enters into any compromise, composition or other arrangements for the benefit of its general creditors; or

| 15.2.5 | an encumbrancer takes possession of, or an administrator, administrative receiver, receiver or trustee or similar official is appointed over the whole or a material part of the Defaulting Shareholder’s undertaking, property or assets; or

24

| 15.2.6 | an order is made or a bona fide resolution is passed for the Defaulting Shareholder’s winding up or bankruptcy, otherwise than for the purpose of a reconstruction or amalgamation without insolvency previously approved by the other Shareholder (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld); or

| 15.2.7 | any of the events described in Clauses 15.2.3 to 15.2.6 occurs in relation to a Guarantor.

15.3 | The other Shareholder is entitled to remedy any default under Clause 15.2.1 or 15.2.2 committed by the Defaulting Shareholder and the cost of the remedy shall be deemed to be a debt due from the Defaulting Shareholder to the other Shareholder repayable upon demand, upon which interest shall be calculated at the rate of five hundred per cent. (500%) per annum above LIBOR (the “Specified Rate”) (both before and after judgment) from the date of such advance to the date of actual payment, and all interest shall be compounded semi-annually, and the default shall not be considered remedied for the purposes of those Clauses until the Defaulting Shareholder has paid that cost to the other Shareholder.

15.4 | Upon the occurrence of a default of the kind referred to in Clause 15.1.1, it is agreed that any amount which the Defaulting Shareholder is or may be entitled to receive as a dividend shall be waived by the Defaulting Shareholder and shall be retained by the Joint Venture Company and applied against the obligation in respect of which the Defaulting Shareholder is in default, including interest (calculated in accordance with Clause 15.3) thereon, until the obligation is satisfied in full.

15.5 | Upon the occurrence of any of the events set out in Clause 15.2, then the Defaulting Shareholder shall be deemed to have given a notice to the other Shareholder (the “Offeree”), offering to sell in the first instance to the Offeree, all the Shares and Shareholder Loans (together, the “Deemed Offered Shares”) held by the Defaulting Shareholder.

15.6 |

| 15.6.1 | The following provisions shall apply in determining the purchase price of the Deemed Offered Shares.

| 15.6.2 | The purchase price of the Deemed Offered Shares shall be:

| (a) | their fair value as agreed between the Shareholders; or

| (b) | in default of agreement within fourteen (14) days after service of the Default Notice by the Offeree referred to in Clause 15.1, such sum as shall be certified (at the request of either Shareholder) by a firm of chartered accountants practising internationally (the “Expert”) (who shall not be the auditors for the time being of the Joint Venture Company) to be the fair value of the Deemed Offered Shares on the date on which the Default Notice was given. If the Shareholders are unable to agree on the identity of the Expert then either Shareholder may apply to the President for the time being of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales for the appointment of the Expert.

15.7 | In so certifying, the Expert is irrevocably instructed:

| 15.7.1 | to value the Shares to be bought and sold as the same proportion of the value of the Joint Venture Company as a whole on that date as the relevant shareholding bears to the whole issued ordinary share capital of the Joint Venture Company on that date; and

25

| 15.7.2 | to obtain and to take into account valuations of the Vessels from two (2) ship brokers of international standing with appropriate LNG shipping experience, such valuations to take account of the Time Charters or other contracts of employment to which the Vessels may then be subject;

but otherwise the Expert shall take into account all such circumstances as shall seem to it relevant, including, without limitation, applicable practices in valuing the shares of companies carrying on similar businesses.

15.8 | In so acting the Expert acts as expert and not as arbitrator and its decision shall (save in respect of manifest error) be final and binding on the Shareholders for all purposes and its costs and the costs of its appointment shall be borne in equal shares by the Shareholders.

15.9 | For the purpose of this Clause 15 the Shareholders shall procure that the Joint Venture Company and the Vessel Owning Companies shall supply the Expert with all information which a prudent prospective purchaser of the entire issued share capital of the Joint Venture Company might reasonably require if he were to purchase the same from a willing vendor by private treaty on arm’s length terms and all other information which the Expert may reasonably request.

15.10 |

| 15.10.1 | The Offeree shall, within fourteen (14) days from the date of determination of the value of the Deemed Offered Shares, by written notice to the Defaulting Shareholder indicate whether it intends to acquire the Deemed Offered Shares.

| 15.10.2 | Upon the expiration of such fourteen (14) day period, the Offeree, if it has indicated such an intention, shall be bound to acquire and the Defaulting Shareholder shall be bound to sell the Deemed Offered Shares at the value so determined (or such of them as the Offeree indicated in its notice).

15.11 |

| 15.11.1 | If, by reason of any breach by a Shareholder of this Agreement, or of any agreement between a Company and a Shareholder or its Affiliate, an event of default or potential event of default (however described) occurs under any of the Material Documents, then:

| (a) | the Directors of each Company who were nominated by the other Shareholder (the “Innocent Shareholder”) shall be authorised to take on behalf of that Company and at its cost any action which they reasonably consider necessary, in the best interest of the Company, to remedy the event of default or potential event of default, and such action may include (without limitation) entering into or terminating any contract or agreement, or borrowing money from any person (including without limitation a Shareholder);

| (b) | any such action shall not be considered a Reserved Matter;

| (c) | if a shareholders’ resolution of the Joint Venture Company is required for any such action referred to above in this Clause 15.11.1, the presence of the Innocent Shareholder only is required to form a quorum at any meeting held to pass the resolution, and any such resolution shall be passed if the Innocent Shareholder votes in favour or makes such resolution in writing, and regardless of any vote cast by the other Shareholder; and

26

| (d) | if a resolution of the Board of any Company is required for any action referred to above in this Clause 15.11.1, the presence of the Directors appointed by the Innocent Shareholder only is required to form a quorum at any meeting held to pass the resolution, and any such resolution shall be passed if the Directors appointed by the Innocent Shareholder vote in favour or make such resolution in writing, and regardless of any vote cast by the other Directors.

| 15.11.2 | The provisions of this Clause 15.11 shall be without prejudice to any of the Innocent Shareholder’s rights under this Clause 15 or at law.

| 15.11.3 | The Innocent Shareholder shall notify the other Shareholder in writing before any action described in Clause 15.11.1 is taken and specify in reasonable detail the action to be taken.

16. | DIVIDEND POLICY

Subject to the prudent retention of profits by way of reserve, to each Company’s obligations to financiers, and to the working capital and cash flow requirements of the Companies, the Companies shall distribute, by way of dividend in respect of each of their financial years, and as soon as reasonably practicable after the end of each financial year and on an interim basis at the end of each quarter of each financial year, such of their profits as are available for distribution in accordance with applicable law.

17. | DEADLOCK

17.1 | The Shareholders shall use all reasonable endeavours, in relation to any matter which requires their unanimous agreement to agree a common position and, subject to agreement being reached on such common position, to exercise their votes (and votes of the nominated Directors) in each Company jointly and in furtherance of the common position.

17.2 | If there is a dispute or disagreement between the Shareholders as to any question which either of them (in its sole judgement) shall consider is of fundamental importance to the future of the Joint Venture Company, or its Business, then at the option of either Shareholder (as applicable), the matter in question shall be considered at the next meeting of the Board of the Joint Venture Company.

17.3 | If at the next meeting of the Board of the Joint Venture Company, no resolution is carried in relation to the matter by reason of an equality of votes for and against any proposal for dealing with it, or for any other reason, then a Shareholder may give notice in writing (a “Deadlock Notice”) to the other referring to the matter in dispute and specifying that the provisions of Clause 17.4 shall apply.

17.4 | Following service of a Deadlock Notice, either Shareholder may request the matter be referred to the Chief Executive Officers or such appropriate senior executives as such Shareholder may nominate by written notice to the other (the “Nominated Senior Executives”). The Nominated Senior Executives shall meet within 20 days and seek in good faith to resolve the matter in dispute. If the matter in dispute has not been resolved at the meeting referred to above or following such further period as the Nominated Senior Executives may agree (the “Deadlock Period”), then either of the Shareholders (the “Offeror”) may give notice in writing (the “Offer Notice”) within the period of 10 Business Days following expiry of the Deadlock Period to the other (the “Offeree”) offering to sell to the Offeree all of the Shares and Shareholder Loans relating to the Joint Venture Company (the “Deadlock Company”) which are owned by the Offeror for the amount per Share (the “Share Amount”) and/or amount per $1 outstanding on such Shareholder Loans (the “Loan Amount” and together with the Share Amount the “Amounts”) specified in the Offer Notice (the “Offer”).

27

17.5 | Subject to Clause 17.6, the Offeree shall have a period of 20 Business Days (the “Acceptance Period”) commencing with the Business Day following the date of receipt of the Offer Notice in which to accept or decline the Offer by written notice to the Offeror. If the Offeree accepts the Offer within the Acceptance Period, the Offeror shall sell to the Offeree (or such person as the Offeree shall nominate) and the Offeree, or such person as the Offeree shall nominate, shall purchase from the Offeror all of the Shares and Shareholder Loans owned by the Offeror at a price equal to the Amounts.

17.6 | If the Offeree declines the Offer or fails to respond to the Offer Notice within the Acceptance Period the Offeree shall sell to the Offeror (or such person as the Offeror shall nominate) and the Offeror (or such person as the Offeror shall nominate) shall purchase from the Offeree all Shares and Shareholder Loans held by the Offeree at a price equal to the Amounts.

17.7 | If each of the Shareholders delivers an Offer Notice in the terms set out in Clause 17.4 and each of such notices is received or deemed to be received upon the same calendar day, then the party whose Offer Notice specifies the higher Amounts shall be deemed to be the Offeror for the purposes of Clause 17.4 and the provisions of Clauses 17.4, 17.5 and 17.6 shall apply save that the Acceptance Period shall be a period of 25 Business Days from the Business Day following receipt (or deemed receipt) of the Offer Notices.

17.8 | Subject to Clause 17.6, if an Offer Notice from one party (the “First Party”) is received or deemed to be received by the other party on a calendar day after the calendar day on which an Offer Notice from the other party is received by the First Party, the Offer Notice received on the later calendar day shall be of no effect.

17.9 | If either Shareholder (the “Purchaser”) becomes obliged or agrees under the terms of Clauses 17.4 to 17.7 to purchase the Shares and/or Shareholder Loans which are owned by the other (the “Vendor”) the sale of such Shares and/or Shareholder Loans shall be completed on such date (being a Business Day) as the Purchaser may specify to the Vendor provided that the date so specified shall not be less than 14 nor more than 21 Business Days after the expiry of the Acceptance Period and the provisions of Clause 11 shall apply mutatis mutandis thereto.

17.10 | If neither Shareholder issues an Offer Notice within the period of 10 Business Days following expiry of the Deadlock Period pursuant to the terms set out in Clause 17.4 either party may elect to place the Joint Venture Company in liquidation.

17.11 | Any contemplated change of ownership resulting from this Clause 17 shall always be subject to the provisions of the Time Charters.

18. | FURTHER ASSURANCE

18.2 | Each of the Shareholders hereby further undertakes that it shall, and shall use all reasonable endeavours to procure that any other necessary party shall, execute all such documents and do all such acts and things as may be required to ensure that each party hereto shall have the benefits and burdens of the rights and obligations respectively in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

30

20.9 | Rights not affected by signature.

(b) it has and will maintain in place, adequate procedures designed to prevent any Associated Person from undertaking any conduct that would give rise to an offence under section 7 of the UK Bribery Act 2010 or the US Foreign Corrupt Practices Act 1977 or any other applicable laws, statutes, regulations or codes relating to anti-bribery and anticorruption;

31

(c) none of its officers, employees or other persons associated with such party have been convicted of any offence involving bribery, corruption, fraud or dishonesty;
