WHEREAS, Buyer desires to grant to Seller an option to sell cargos of LNG to Buyer in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof and that certain Master Ex-Ship LNG Sales Agreement executed on April 26^th, 2007 (the “Master Sales Agreement”).

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants set forth herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged by the Parties hereto, Seller and Buyer hereby agree as follows:

Article I

Transatlantic Options

1.1 Grant of Option. Buyer hereby grants to Seller the option to sell one (1) cargo of LNG per month for each and every month during the Option Period. The cargoes tendered for sale shall be delivered on an LNG Ship, in whole cargo lots, between eighty-eight thousand (88,000) and one hundred and fifty five thousand (155,000) cubic meters per cargo. Each monthly option shall be specifically exercised for each cargo separately by way of a Specific Order pursuant to the Master Sales Agreement. Seller is not obligated to exercise any option with respect to any month but Buyer, subject to the rules hereafter defined, shall be obliged to purchase and take delivery of any cargo of LNG in case Seller exercises an option pursuant to the following principles stated in this Agreement.

1

1.2 Scheduling. As early as possible and not later than the fifth (5^th) of December of any year within the Option Period, Buyer will provide Seller with an annual program setting the dates of two (2) unloading slots for a cargo of LNG (the “Potential Arrival Period”) it has been allocated at the Sabine Pass Terminal in each month of the following calendar year, spread evenly throughout a month and across months to the extent reasonably practicable (the “Terminal Annual Program”).

Not later than five (5) Business Days after the reception of the Terminal Annual Program, Seller shall notify Buyer of one (1) Potential Arrival Period per month it is willing to elect as the Arrival Period in case it exercises its option to sell in such month (the “Election Notice”). Buyer shall endeavor to accept the Potential Arrival Periods proposed by Seller in its Election Notice but shall not be obliged to accept any Potential Arrival Period which is not the first Potential Arrival Period of the relevant month as stated in the Terminal Annual Program. The list of the Potential Arrival Periods accepted by Buyer (the “Option Annual Program”), which must be at least one slot per month, shall be notified by Buyer to Seller not later than the later of (i) the twentieth (20^th) day of December of the year preceding the year on which the Terminal Annual Program applies, and (ii) the fifteenth (15^th) Business Day after the reception of the Election Notice.

Any modification made by the operator of the Sabine Pass Terminal that affects the Option Annual Program shall be immediately notified by Buyer to Seller, and the Parties shall discuss in good faith to find a mutually agreeable solution.

The Parties hereby recognize that the principles stated herein may not be applicable for the time period between the beginning of the Option Period and the end of the first calendar year of the Option Period, and each Party shall make its reasonable endeavors in order to set up and implement the Option Annual Program applicable to this time period pursuant to the principles stated in this Agreement.

1.3 Exercise of Option. If Seller desires to exercise its option to sell a cargo of LNG to Buyer during any month in the Option Period, Seller shall provide, as its “Option Exercise Notice”, Buyer with Seller’s proposed Specific Order not later than the twentieth (20^th) day of the second (2^nd) month preceding the month within which the first (1^st) hour of the Arrival Period falls. The proposed Specific Order shall be completed in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Master Sales Agreement, delivered in accordance with the delivery instructions set forth in the Master Sales Agreement and already executed by Seller. In particular the Arrival Period specified in the proposed Specific Order shall be the Potential Arrival Period of the relevant month as set forth in the Option Annual Program. Provided the Specific Order is completed in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Master Sales Agreement and contains no material mistakes or omissions, Buyer shall execute the Specific Order and send it back to Seller not later than the twenty fifth (25^th) day of the

2

second (2^nd) month preceding the month within which the first (1^st) hour of the Arrival Period falls. If Buyer believes that the Specific Order submitted by Seller contains a material mistake or omission, Buyer shall send Seller a notice of such material mistake or omission by the date specified in the preceding sentence, and the Parties shall work together in good faith to resolve the material mistake or omission and develop a corrected Specific Order for execution by both Parties. If Buyer fails to send Seller the executed Specific Order, provided that such Specific Order contains no material mistake or omission, and the Parties fail to mutually agree upon a solution before the first (1^st) day of the month preceding the month within which the first (1^st) hour of the Arrival Period falls, Buyer shall be considered as having failed to take delivery of the LNG cargo specified in the proposed Specific Order and the provisions of Sub-Clause 4.3 of the Master Sales Agreement shall apply. In this particular case, Seller shall be allowed to invoice such LNG cargo as soon as the information requested for the Price calculation is available.

If Seller fails to give its Option Election Notice by the time specified in the first paragraph of this Sub-Clause 1.3, the option for such month shall expire and Seller shall have no right to exercise an option to sell to Buyer for that particular month. For the avoidance of doubt, the decision not to exercise an option for any given month does not affect the rights of Seller in future months. In the event Seller submits a Specific Order as its Option Exercise Notice, certain provisions of the form of such Specific Order shall be completed as follows:

(a) Demurrage shall be one hundred thousand (100,000) US$ per 24 hour period, or prorata for any partial 24 hour period.

(b) The Cargo Underdelivery Amount shall be equal to the product of the Nominal Quantity multiplied by the greater of (i) the Cover Difference, or (ii) US$1.00. The “Cover Difference” shall be the amount calculated as (i) minus (ii), with (i) and (ii) being as follows:

(i) means the unweighted average of the midpoint price for Henry Hub as published in Platt’s Gas Daily (or another publication reasonably selected by Buyer if such publication is no longer publishing such data provided the substitute data results in approximately the same economic value) for each of the four (4) successive publication dates following the Arrival Period,

(ii) means eighty percent (80%) of P.

(c) The Specifications shall be as set forth in Exhibit A.

(d) The Allowed Laytime shall be as follows:

(i) in relation to an LNG Ship with a total cargo tank capacity not exceeding 145,000 m³, thirty-six (36) hours;

(ii) in relation to any other LNG Ship, a period (in hours) calculated as 24 + (12 x LNG Capacity /145,000); LNG Capacity being as specified in the Specific Order.

3

1.4 Alternative Terminal. By giving Seller notice at least six (6) days prior to the scheduled Arrival Period, Buyer may request that the affected cargo be delivered at an Alternate NA Terminal. Seller shall accept that diversion provided:

(i) that it shall not prevent the LNG Ship from meeting the loading window for its next scheduled cargo lifting, and

(ii) that Buyer pays Seller the incremental costs incurred by Seller, if any, in diverting the LNG cargo to the alternative terminal.

1.5 Price. The Price (P) under this Agreement and the Specific Order for the respective exercised option shall be as follows:

Ninety four percent (94.0%) of the final settlement price (in USD per MMBtu) of the Natural Gas Futures Contract (for delivery at Henry Hub) traded on the exchange owned by New York Mercantile Exchange, Inc. or its successor, for the Prompt Month, minus US $0.65 per MMBtu. “Prompt Month” means the calendar month during which the Arrival Period ends, provided that if the Arrival Period ends on or after the 25^th day of such calendar month, the Prompt Month shall be the next following calendar month.

Each invoice shall be prepared in USD.

1.6 Insurance and Liability of LNG Vessel. Seller shall cause any LNG Ship to be used by it to make deliveries of LNG pursuant to an exercised option to have usual and customary protection and indemnity insurance (from an International Group Protection & Indemnity (“P&I”) Club), based on normal industry practice, ensuring standard coverage for standard P&I risks, including wreck, debris removal, pollution, collision liability and civil liability protection in accordance with any requirements of the LNG Receiving Facilities, but in each case in a face amount of US$150,000,000. Seller shall also cause each LNG Ship to be used by it to make deliveries of LNG pursuant to an exercised option to enter into the usual and customary port liability agreement required by the LNG Receiving Facilities which shall be, in the case of deliveries to the Sabine Pass Terminal, substantially in the form of that attached hereto as Exhibit B and subject to final confirmation of the relevant P&I Club.

Seller shall notify Buyer as soon as reasonably possible of the Commercial Start Up of the Isle of Grain Terminal expansion, and Buyer shall notify Seller as soon as reasonably possible of the Commercial Start Up of the Sabine Pass Terminal.

2.2 Early Termination. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, this Agreement shall terminate automatically upon the termination of the Master Sales Agreement pursuant to Sub-Clause 18(4) thereof or upon the termination of the Cheniere Transatlantic Option Agreement.

2.3 Right to Suspend Deliveries in Case of Default of Payment. If payment by Buyer of any invoice for any cargo of LNG delivered hereunder (or for quantities of LNG not taken) and for which Buyer is obligated to pay pursuant to this Agreement and to the Master Sales Agreement is not made within five (5) Days after the due date thereof (a “Payment Failure”), Seller shall be entitled without prejudice to any of its rights under this Agreement or the Master Sales Agreement and at law or otherwise, upon giving three (3) Days notice to Buyer, to suspend subsequent deliveries of cargo of LNG to Buyer (that could have been agreed by execution of any other Specific Order) until the amount of any invoices sent by Seller to Buyer, together with interest thereon, has been paid. Such suspension shall not constitute a failure by Seller to deliver such quantity.

2.4 Failure to Issue a Program. If Buyer fails to issue either the Terminal Annual Program or the Option Annual Program (provided that Seller has previously issued the Election Notice in accordance with Sub-Clause 1.2 of this Agreement) in any year during the Option Period as provided for in this Agreement within ten (10) days after the receipt of Seller’s written notice to Buyer of such failure, Seller shall be entitled upon giving ten (10) Business Days prior written notice to Buyer, to be sent not later than the last day of January of the year for which the relevant program has not been issued by Buyer, to terminate this Agreement. If Seller terminates this Agreement in accordance with this Sub-Clause 2.4 it shall be entitled to recover liquidated damages from Buyer, calculated as the product of :

(i) fifty percent (50.0%), multiplied by

5

(ii) the product of (a) the unweighted average of the settlement prices (in USD per MMBtu) on the date that the notice of termination is sent, or if such day is not a trading day, then on the next open trading day, of Natural Gas Futures Contracts (for delivery at Henry Hub) traded on the exchange owned by New York Mercantile Exchange, Inc. or its successor, for the prompt twelve (12) months for which the associated Natural Gas Futures Contracts are trading, multiplied by (b) twelve (12), multiplied by (c) 3,000,000 MMBtu.

Provided that Seller has previously received the Terminal Annual Program in accordance with Sub-Clause 1.2 above, if Seller fails to notify Buyer with its Election Notice in accordance with Sub-Clause 1.2 above, unless otherwise agreed by the Parties, Seller shall be considered as having given up the possibility to exercise any sale option pursuant to this Agreement for the year subject to the corresponding Terminal Annual Program. For the avoidance of doubt this event shall not be considered as an event of termination of this Agreement.
