In the event that Michael S. Smith desires to commence marketing efforts in connection with any transaction under Section 16.1(b) in which (i) all or a portion of the remaining capital stock of the General Partner that is held by Michael S. Smith is
being transferred and (ii) would result in LNG Investments&#146; Percentage Interest being decreased, Michael S. Smith shall (x) provide written notice to each of Cheniere and Contango and (y), to the extent Cheniere and Contango desire to
participate, use his commercially reasonable efforts to include the Interests held by Cheniere and Contango in the marketing efforts for such Interests of LNG Investments and his interest in the General Partner in order to afford to each of Cheniere
and Contango the opportunity to sell their Interests in such transaction. In the event that Cheniere and/or Contango elect to not participate in such marketing efforts, the right of any such non-participating Person to participate in any transfer of
Interests under this Section 16.1(c) with respect to the resulting transaction in which all or a portion of LNG Investments&#146; Interests or Michael S. Smith&#146;s interest is transferred shall automatically terminate. Each of Cheniere and
Contango agree to provide written notice to Michael S. Smith of their respective election of whether to participate in such marketing efforts within fifteen (15) days of receiving notice from Michael S. Smith under this Section 16.1(c). To the
extent that either Cheniere or Contango do not respond in such time period, such non-responding Person shall be deemed to have elected to not so participate. The terms of any transfer of Interests resulting from such marketing efforts shall be
subject to the prior notice, Acceptance Period and Tag-Along Procedures set forth in Section 16.1(b); provided, however, that the Acceptance Period shall be reduced to five (5) days. In any transaction or series of related transactions in which a
portion of the interest of Michael S. Smith in the General Partner and a portion of the Interest of LNG Investments in the Partnership are being transferred, 100% of the consideration paid in such transaction or series of related transactions shall
be deemed to be paid for the Interest of LNG Investments in the Partnership and 0% of the consideration shall be deemed to be paid for the interest of Michael S. Smith in the General Partner. No transfer by Michael S. Smith of capital stock of the
General Partner shall be permitted after the transfer of 50% of such stock to COP at the Closing pursuant to the Omnibus Agreement except for a transfer of the entirety of the remaining 50% of such stock, and any such transfer must be made to a
transferee that is or will become in the transaction, or that is or will become in the transaction an Affiliate of, a Limited Partner with an Interest of at least 20%. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:-6px"><FONT
