1.1Initial Exchange. In consideration of and in reliance upon the representations, warranties, covenants, terms and conditions of this Agreement, at the closing of the initial exchange (the “Initial Closing”), Chart E&C agrees to exchange $7,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of the Indebtedness (the amount of which as calculated in this

Section 1.1 is called the “Exchanged Indebtedness”) for shares of Common Stock, and, in exchange therefor, the Issuer shall (i) issue and deliver to Chart E&C the number of shares of Common Stock that is determined by dividing (A) the aggregate principal amount of the Exchanged Indebtedness by (B) the Relevant Share Price (as defined below) and (ii) pay to Chart E&C an amount in cash (the “Relevant Cash Amount”) equal to the accrued and unpaid interest on the Exchanged Indebtedness due through the Initial Closing Date, plus any cash amount to be paid in lieu of the issuance of fractional shares of Common Stock; provided that, if the determination made in clause (i) above for the exchange of all of the Exchanged Indebtedness for shares of Common Stock at the Relevant Share Price would result in Chart E&C holding in excess of 9.00% of all of the issued and outstanding Common Stock following the consummation of such exchange, then (x) the amount of Indebtedness to be exchanged at the Initial Closing shall be reduced by an amount necessary to provide that Chart E&C will hold no more than 9.00% of the issued and outstanding Common Stock following the consummation of such exchange and (y) any remaining Indebtedness (the “Remaining Indebtedness”) not exchanged at the Initial Closing will remain outstanding under the Stabilis Restated Note (as defined below) subject to Chart E&C’s right to request an additional exchange of such Remaining Indebtedness as set forth in Section 1.2 of this Agreement.

The shares of Common Stock issued to Chart E&C pursuant to this Agreement (including any shares issued at the Initial Closing or any Additional Closing) are referred to in this Agreement as the “Shares.”

1.2Additional Exchange. Subject to the provisions of this Section 1.2, if at any time after six (6) months after the Effective Date, the Issuer receives a written request from Chart E&C to exchange all or any portion of the Remaining Indebtedness for Shares (the “Additional Exchange”), at the closing of such exchange (the “Additional Closing”), Chart E&C shall exchange such selected amount of the Remaining Indebtedness for Shares of the Issuer, and, in exchange therefor, the Issuer shall (i) issue and deliver to Chart E&C the number of Shares that is determined by dividing (A) the aggregate principal amount of Remaining Indebtedness exchanged by (B) the Relevant Share Price and (ii) pay to Chart E&C an amount in cash (the “Additional Relevant Cash Amount”) equal to accrued and unpaid interest on any such Remaining Indebtedness due through the Additional Closing Date, plus any cash amount paid in lieu of fractional Shares; provided that, the Issuer shall not be required to conduct more than one Additional Exchange.

Except as set forth on Schedule 2.5 attached hereto, SEI has filed all reports required to be filed by it under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), including pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) thereof, for the 12 months preceding the date hereof on a timely basis or has received a valid extension of such time of filing and has filed any such SEC Reports prior to the expiration of any such extension and has filed all reports required to be filed by it under the Exchange Act, including pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) thereof, for the two years preceding the date hereof.

Chart E&C is acquiring the Shares for its own account and not with a view towards, or for resale in connection with, the public sale or distribution thereof, except pursuant to sales registered under the Securities Act or under an exemption from such registration and in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws, and Chart E&C does not have a present arrangement to effect any distribution of the Shares to or through any Person.

3.4Investor Status. Chart E&C is an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act. Chart E&C was not organized for the purpose of acquiring the Shares and is not required to be registered as a broker-dealer under Section 15 of the Exchange Act.

3.5No General Solicitation. Chart E&C is not acquiring the Shares as a result of any advertisement, article, notice or other communication regarding the Shares published in any newspaper, magazine or similar media, broadcast over television or radio, disseminated over the Internet or presented at any seminar or any other general solicitation or general advertisement.

3.6Experience of Investor.

Chart E&C acknowledges that it has reviewed the Disclosure Materials and all other materials Chart E&C deemed necessary for the purpose of making an investment decision with respect to the Shares, and has been afforded: (i) the opportunity to ask such questions as it has deemed necessary of, and to receive answers from, representatives of the Issuer concerning the Issuer’s business, management and financial affairs and terms and conditions of the offering of the Shares and the merits and risks of investing in the Shares; (ii) access to information about the Issuer and its subsidiaries and their respective financial condition, results of operations, business, properties, management and prospects sufficient to enable it to evaluate its investment; and (iii) the opportunity to obtain such additional information that the Issuer possesses or can acquire without unreasonable effort or expense that is necessary to make an informed investment decision with respect to the investment.

3.9Restricted Securities. Chart E&C understands that the Shares are characterized as “restricted securities” under the U.S. federal securities laws inasmuch as they are being acquired from the Issuer in a transaction not involving a public offering and that under

such laws and applicable regulations such securities may be resold without registration under the Securities Act only in certain limited circumstances.

3.10Stabilis Note and Security Documents. Chart E&C has good title to and is the sole legal and beneficial owner and holder of the Stabilis Note, free and clear of all liens, claims, encumbrances and other charges whatsoever, and the interests of Chart E&C in the Security Documents are not subject to any prior assignment.

The Issuer and Chart E&C shall consult with each other in issuing any other press releases with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby, and Chart E&C shall not issue any such press release or otherwise make any such public statement without the prior consent of the Issuer, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, except if such disclosure is required by law, in which case Chart E&C shall promptly provide the Issuer with prior notice of such initial public statement or communication. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Issuer shall not publicly disclose the name of Chart E&C or any Affiliate of Chart E&C, or include the name of Chart E&C or any Affiliate of Chart E&C in any filing with the SEC or any regulatory agency or Trading Market, without the prior written consent of Chart E&C, except (i) as required by federal securities law in connection with the Form 8-K relating to this Agreement and a registration statement that includes the resale of Registrable Securities under Section 7 below and (ii) to the extent such disclosure is required by law or Trading Market regulations, in which case the Issuer shall provide Chart E&C with prior notice of such disclosure permitted under subclause (i) or (ii).

Subject only to Section 7.2, the Issuer shall only be required to file one Registration Statement with respect to the Registrable Securities.

7.2Additional Demand. If at any time when (i) the Issuer is eligible to use a Form S-3 registration statement and (ii) Chart E&C or any Affiliate of Chart E&C is deemed to be an Affiliate of the Issuer for purposes of Rule 415 under the Securities Act, following receipt of a request from Chart E&C that the Issuer file a Form S-3 registration statement with respect to Registrable Securities, the Issuer shall use commercially reasonable efforts either (i) to convert such Registration Statement from a Form S-1 to a Form S-3 or (ii) to prepare and file, within forty-five (45) days after receipt of such request from Chat E&C, a Form S-3 registration statement to register under the Securities Act the resale of Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration by Chart E&C; provided, however, the obligations of this Section 7.2 shall not apply with respect to Registrable Securities included in an effective registration statement; provided further Chart E&C shall only be entitled to deliver one request pursuant to this Section 7.2.

(a)If the Issuer proposes to register (including, for this purpose, a registration effected by the Issuer for stockholders other than Chart E&C) any of its Common Stock under the Securities Act in connection with the public offering of such securities solely for cash (other than in an Excluded Registration), the Issuer shall, at such time, promptly give Chart E&C notice of such registration; provided, however, the obligations of this Section 7.3(a) shall not apply with respect to Registrable Securities included in an effective registration statement. Upon the request of Chart E&C given within two (2) days after such notice is given by the Issuer, the Issuer shall, subject to the provisions of Section 7.3(b), cause to be registered all of the Registrable Securities not so already covered by an effective registration statement that Chart E&C has requested to be included in such registration; provided, however, such amount of Registrable Securities shall exceed at least $5,000,000. The Issuer shall have the right to terminate or withdraw any registration initiated by it under this Section 7.3(a) before the effective date of such registration, whether or not Chart E&C has elected to include Registrable Securities in such registration.

(b)In connection with any offering involving an underwriting of shares of the Issuer’s capital stock pursuant to Section 7.3(a), the Issuer shall not be required to include any of Chart E&C’s Registrable Securities in such underwriting unless Chart E&C accepts the terms of the underwriting as agreed upon between the Issuer and its underwriters, including, without

limitation, any applicable lock-up period, and then only in such quantity as the managing underwriter(s) in their sole discretion determine can be sold in an orderly manner in such offering within a price range acceptable to the Issuer. If in connection with any offering involving an underwriting of shares of the Issuer’s capital stock pursuant to Section 7.3(a), and the managing underwriter(s) for such offering advise the Issuer that in their reasonable opinion the number of securities requested to be included in such offering exceeds the number which can be sold in an orderly manner in such offering within a price range acceptable to the Issuer, the Issuer shall only include in such offering the number which can be so sold in the following order of priority: (i) first, the securities the Issuer proposes to sell, and (ii) second, if there remains availability for additional shares of Common Stock to be included in such offering, pro rata among Chart E&C and any other holders of shares of Common Stock entitled to participate in such offering, if applicable, based on the relative number of shares of Common Stock then held by each such stockholder.

(c)For purposes of this Section 7.3, “Excluded Registration” means (i) a registration relating to the sale of securities to employees of the Issuer or a subsidiary pursuant to a stock option, stock purchase, or similar plan; (ii) a registration relating to an SEC Rule 145 transaction; (iii) a registration statement on Form S-4; (iv) a registration on any form that does not include substantially the same information as would be required to be included in a registration statement covering the sale of the Registrable Securities; or (v) a registration in which the only Common Stock being registered is Common Stock issuable upon conversion of debt securities that are also being registered.

7.4Issuer Undertakings. With respect to any registration statement filed pursuant to Sections 7.1, 7.2 or 7.3 of this Agreement to register the resale of Registrable Securities (each, a “Registration Statement”), the Issuer shall (a) use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Registration Statement to become effective as soon as reasonably practicable after such filing; (b) use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Registration Statement to remain effective at all times thereafter until the date when all of the Registrable Securities registered thereunder have been disposed of by Chart E&C; and (c) use its commercially reasonable efforts to prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to such Registration Statement (including documents filed pursuant to the Exchange Act, and incorporated by reference into such Registration Statement) and the prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep such Registration Statement effective for the period specified in this sentence above; provided that, before filing such Registration Statement or prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto, the Issuer will furnish to Chart E&C copies of all such documents proposed to be filed reasonably in advance of such filing, which documents will be subject to review of Chart E&C.

7.5Registration Procedures. With respect to the registration of the resale of Registrable Securities under a Registration Statement filed pursuant to this Section 7, the Issuer shall:

(c)notify Chart E&C, at any time when a prospectus relating to the resale of the Registrable Securities is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, upon discovery that, or upon the discovery of the happening of any event as a result of which, the prospectus included in such Registration Statement is not compliant with applicable securities laws or contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omits any fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, and the Issuer will promptly prepare and file with the SEC, and furnish to Chart E&C a reasonable number of copies of, a supplement or amendment to such prospectus so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of such Registrable Securities, such prospectus will be compliant with applicable securities laws or will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, as applicable;

7.6Information Supplied. It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of the Issuer to take any action to register the resale of the Registrable Securities that Chart E&C shall furnish the Issuer with such information regarding Chart E&C that is pertinent to the disclosure requirements relating to the registration and the distribution of the Registrable Securities as the Issuer may from time to time reasonably request. Chart E&C agrees to promptly furnish to the Issuer all information required to be disclosed in order to make the information previously furnished to the Issuer by Chart E&C not misleading.

(a)Except as expressly provided in this Section 7.7, the Issuer shall pay all Registration Expenses relating to any Registration Statement. “Registration Expenses” shall mean any and all fees and expenses incident to the Issuer’s performance of or compliance with

this Section 7, including (i) SEC, Trading Market or Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. registration and filing fees and all related listing fees, (ii) fees and expenses of compliance with state securities or “blue sky” laws and in connection with the preparation of a “blue sky” survey, including reasonable fees and expenses of blue sky counsel, (iii) printing expenses, (iv) messenger and delivery expenses, (v) fees and disbursements of counsel for the Issuer, and (vi) fees and disbursements of all independent public accountants and fees and expenses of other Persons, including special experts, retained by the Issuer.

(b)Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of this Section 7.7 shall be deemed amended to the extent necessary to cause these expense provisions to comply with “blue sky” laws of each state in which the offering is made.

7.8

Restrictions on Registration and Disposition.

(a)Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Issuer shall not be required to file a registration statement (or any amendment thereto) or effect any offering for so long as, (i) any event of the kind described in Section 7.5(c) or (ii) a Suspension Event, is occurring. The Issuer shall not be entitled to exercise its right of suspension or postponement, as the case may be, pursuant to this Section 7.8(a) for more than an aggregate of 180 days in any 12-month period.

(b)Chart E&C agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the Issuer of the happening of (i) any event of the kind described in Section 7.5(c) or (ii) a Suspension Event, Chart E&C will forthwith discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to the applicable Registration Statement until Chart E&C’s receipt of the copies of the supplemental or amended prospectus contemplated by Section 7.5(c) or written notice from the Issuer that such Registration Statement is effective again and no amendment or supplement is needed.

(a) To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Issuer will indemnify and hold harmless Chart E&C and its directors and officers and each other Person who controls or is controlled by Chart E&C and its Affiliates and their respective directors, officers, members, managers and general and limited partners (collectively, the “Chart Indemnified Parties”) against any losses, claims, damages and liabilities, joint or several, to which any Chart Indemnified Party may become subject under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, actions or proceedings (whether commenced or threatened in writing in respect thereof) (“Claims”) arise out of or are based upon: (i) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement, or any prospectus or preliminary prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto (including all documents incorporated by reference therein) or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to made the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances under which they were made; or (ii) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any free writing prospectus prepared by the Issuer or authorized by it in writing for use by Chart E&C or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto (including all documents incorporated by reference therein) or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to made the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances under which they were made; provided, that

the Issuer shall not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such Claim or expense arises out of or is based upon any such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in conformity with written information prepared and furnished to the Issuer by Chart E&C expressly for use therein or by Chart E&C’s failure to deliver a copy of the prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto; and provided, further, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 7.9(a) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such Claim if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Issuer, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; and provided, further, that the Issuer will not be liable to any Chart Indemnified Party pursuant to this Section 7.9 to the extent that any Claim for which such Chart Indemnified Party is seeking indemnification relates to a sale of Registrable Securities in violation of Section 7.8.

(b)To the fullest extent permitted by law, Chart E&C will indemnify and hold harmless the Issuer and its directors and officers and each other Person who controls or is controlled by the Issuer and its Affiliates and their respective directors, officers, members, managers and general and limited partners against all Claims and expenses arising out of or based upon: (i) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement, prospectus or preliminary prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto (including all documents incorporated by reference therein) or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances under which they were made; or (ii) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any free writing prospectus prepared by the Issuer or authorized by it in writing for use by Chart E&C or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto (including all documents incorporated by reference therein) or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to made the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances under which they were made; provided, that Chart E&C shall only be liable in any such case only to the extent that any such Claim or expense arises out of or is based upon any such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission is made in conformity with written information prepared and furnished to the Issuer by Chart E&C or Chart E&C’s agent expressly for use therein or by Chart E&C’s failure to deliver a copy of the prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto; provided, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 7.9(b) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such Claim if such settlement is effected without the consent of Chart E&C, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; and provided, further, that the liability of Chart E&C hereunder will be limited to the amount of net proceeds received by Chart E&C from the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement.

(c)Any Person entitled to indemnification hereunder will (i) give prompt written notice to the Issuer of any Claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification and (ii) unless in such indemnified party’s reasonable judgment, based upon advice of counsel, a conflict of interest between such indemnified party and the indemnifying party may exist with respect to such Claim, permit the indemnifying party to assume the defense and settlement of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party; provided, however, that the failure of any indemnified party to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations hereunder unless the failure to give such notice is materially prejudicial to an indemnifying party's ability to defend such action. If such defense is assumed, the indemnified party will not be subject to any liability for any settlement made by the

indemnifying party without its consent (but such consent will not be unreasonably withheld). Anything to the contrary appearing in this Agreement notwithstanding, the indemnifying party will not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel for all parties indemnified hereunder with respect to such Claim, unless in the reasonable judgment of any indemnified party a conflict of interest may exist between such indemnified party and any other of such indemnified parties with respect to such claim. If the indemnifying party assumes the defense, the indemnified party may engage its own counsel at its own sole cost and expense. All fees and expenses of counsel to any indemnified party required to be paid by the indemnifying party shall be paid as incurred.

(d)The indemnification provided for under this Agreement will remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the indemnified party and will survive the transfer of Registrable Securities by Chart E&C. If the indemnification provided for herein is unavailable to an indemnified party or insufficient in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to therein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party thereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such Claims in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party, on the one hand, and the indemnified party or parties, on the other hand, in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations; provided, that in no event shall any contribution by Chart E&C exceed the amount of the net proceeds received by Chart E&C from the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement.

8.1Termination. This Agreement may be terminated by any party hereto, by written notice to the other parties, if the Initial Closing has not been consummated on or prior to December 31, 2019; provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.1 shall not be available to any party if the failure of such party to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement has been a principal cause of, or resulted in, the failure of the Initial Closing to be consummated on or before such date. No termination pursuant to this Section 8.1 will affect the right of any party to sue for any breach by the other party (or parties).

8.2Fees and Expenses. Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement to the contrary, each party shall pay the fees and expenses of its advisers, counsel, accountants and other experts, if any, and all other expenses incurred by such party incident to the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement.

8.9Governing Law. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to the principles of conflicts of law thereof. Each party agrees that all legal proceedings concerning the interpretations, enforcement and defense of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (whether brought against a party hereto or its respective affiliates, directors, officers, shareholders, employees or agents) shall be commenced exclusively in the state and federal courts sitting in Wilmington, Delaware. Each party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in the Wilmington, Delaware for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein (including with respect to the enforcement of this Agreement), and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is improper or inconvenient venue for such proceeding. Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof via registered or certified mail or overnight delivery (with evidence of delivery) to such party at the address in effect for notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any manner permitted by law.

In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission or email attachment, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such facsimile or email-attached signature page

8.12Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable in any respect, the validity and enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and the parties will attempt to agree upon a valid and enforceable provision that is a reasonable substitute therefor, and upon so agreeing, shall incorporate such substitute provision in this Agreement.

If any certificate or instrument evidencing any Shares is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Issuer shall issue or cause to be issued in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation thereof, or in lieu of and substitution therefor, a new certificate or instrument, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Issuer of such loss, theft or destruction and the execution by the holder thereof of a customary lost certificate affidavit of that fact and an agreement to indemnify and hold harmless the Issuer for any losses in connection therewith. The applicants for a new certificate or instrument under such circumstances shall also pay any reasonable third-party costs associated with the issuance of such replacement Shares.

8.14Remedies. In addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided herein or granted by law, including recovery of damages, each of parties will be entitled to seek specific performance under this Agreement. The parties agree that monetary damages may not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of any breach of obligations described in the foregoing sentence and hereby agree to waive in any action for specific performance of any such obligation (other than in connection with any action for a temporary restraining order) the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Exchange Agreement to be duly executed by their respective authorized signatories as of the date first indicated above.
