1. | Per Section 4.10 of the Agreement, the Parties agree this LNG Berth 3 Change Order (“Change Order”) constitutes Owner’s Option for Contractor to perform the engineering, procurement, construction, pre-commissioning, commissioning, testing and startup of Subproject 6(b). |
2. | This Change Order is based on Owner’s issuance of the LNTPs and NTP as follows: |
a. | LNTP No. 1 for Subproject 6(b): Owner released Contractor to perform home office services through an initial Limited Notice to Proceed (“LNTP No. 1 for Subproject 6(b)”), under a Request for Services dated April 1, 2019 (“RFS No. 129378”), pursuant to the Technical Services Agreement dated February 28, 2018, between Sabine Pass Liquefaction, LLC and Contractor. This work is focused on engineering and other home office activities required to prepare for the necessary commitments under LNTP No. 2 for Subproject 6(b) and post-NTP for Subproject 6(b). |
b. | LNTP No. 2 for Subproject 6(b): No later than October 1, 2019, Owner will release Contractor to perform pre-NTP activities for Subproject 6(b) through a second LNTP (“LNTP No. 2 for Subproject 6(b)”) in the form of Schedule H-7, as attached hereto. The scope under this LNTP No. 2 for Subproject 6(b) shall consist of the procurement of key Equipment (including bulk materials) and release of key Subcontracts, as further described in Schedule H-7. If Owner does not issue LNTP No. 2 for Subproject 6(b) on or before October 1, 2019, then Contractor shall be entitled to an adjustment to the Contract Price Applicable to Subproject 6(b) and the Guaranteed Substantial Completion Date for Subproject 6(b) if and to the extent caused by such delayed issuance of LNTP No. 2 for Subproject 6(b). Such adjustment shall include cost impacts caused by, for example, closing of vendor shops, unavailability of materials, labor unavailability, impacts on ability to attract and/or retain qualified labor, as well as escalation and loss of synergies with Contractor’s performance of Work for Subproject 6(a). For the avoidance of doubt, any adjustment to the Contract Price Applicable to Subproject 6(b) or the Project Schedule for Subproject 6(b) shall not be based on Contractor’s errors or omissions, a change in technology, or a change in material or Equipment quantities (except where the unavailability of materials, vendors or labor caused by such delayed issuance of LNTP No. 2 for Subproject 6(b) results in necessary changes to Equipment specifications). Contractor shall use commercially reasonable efforts and GECP to mitigate (i) the increase to the Contract Price Applicable to Subproject 6(b) and (ii) any adverse impact to the Project Schedule for Subproject 6(b). Such agreed-upon adjustment will be set forth in a Change Order. |
c. | NTP for Subproject 6(b): No later than January 31, 2020, Owner shall issue NTP for Subproject 6(b) to Contractor for all remaining Work for the LNG Berth 3 in the form of Schedule H-3 to the Agreement. On or before issuance of NTP for Subproject 6(b), Contractor shall deliver to Owner a Letter of Credit for Subproject 6(b) in accordance with Section 9.2 of the Agreement. If Owner does not issue NTP for Subproject 6(b) on or before January 31, 2020, then Contractor shall be entitled to an adjustment to the Contract Price Applicable to Subproject 6(b) and the Guaranteed Substantial Completion Date for Subproject 6(b) if and to the extent caused by such delayed issuance of NTP for Subproject 6(b). Such adjustment shall be in accordance with Section 5.2C.2 of the Agreement. |
3. | The Contract Price Applicable to Subproject 6(b) is Four Hundred Fifty-Seven Million Six Hundred Ninety-Six Thousand U.S. Dollars (U.S.$457,696,000). The breakdown of the Contract Price Applicable to Subproject 6(b) is detailed in Exhibit 1 of this Change Order. The Contract Price Applicable to Subproject 6(b) includes any Provisional Sums applicable to Subproject 6(b). |
4. | The Parties hereby delete Section 20.2A of the Agreement in its entirety and replace it with the following: |
“ | A. Delay Liquidated Damages. Subject to Section 20.2C, Contractor’s maximum liability to Owner for (i) Subproject 6(a) Delay Liquidated Damages is Ninety Million U.S. Dollars (U.S.$90,000,000), in the aggregate, and (ii) Subproject 6(b) Delay Liquidated Damages is Twenty Million Five Hundred Ninety-Six Thousand Three Hundred Twenty U.S. Dollars (U.S.$20,596,320), in the aggregate.” |
5. | Per Section 13.2C of the Agreement, the Schedule Bonus Date for SP6(b)” and “Schedule Bonus for SP6(b)” shall be as follows: |
a. | The “Schedule Bonus Date for SP6(b)” shall be either: (i) April 16, 2023, provided Owner issues NTP for Subproject 6(b) on or before January 31, 2020; or (ii) the date that is one thousand one hundred seventy-two (1172) Days from NTP for Subproject 6(b) if Owner issues NTP for Subproject 6(b) after January 31, 2020. |
b. | If Substantial Completion of Subproject 6(b) occurs before the Guaranteed Substantial Completion Date for SP6(b), and Contractor achieves Ready for Reduced Ship Loading prior to the Schedule Bonus Date for SP6(b), then Owner shall pay Contractor a bonus as set forth in this Section 5 (the “Schedule Bonus for SP6(b)”). |
c. | Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the aggregate amount payable by Owner to Contractor under the Agreement for such Schedule Bonus for SP6(b) shall not exceed Fifteen Million U.S. Dollars (U.S.$15,000,000). |
d. | “Ready for Reduced Ship Loading” means that Subproject 6(b): (i) has achieved on average over a period of ten (10) continuous hours, a ship loading rate of at least 8,000m3 per hour for the transfer of LNG to an LNG Tanker (and return of vapor and boil-off gas to the LNG Tanks) using a single berth only and in accordance with the Ship Loading Time Conditions and testing procedures in Section 3.11.3 of Attachment S of the Agreement; and (ii) fully loaded such LNG Tanker (unless otherwise instructed by Owner). |
e. | Contractor shall give Owner one hundred eighty (180) Days’ prior written notice specifying the date on which Contractor expects Subproject 6(b) to be Ready for Reduced Ship Loading.

Owner shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide an LNG Tanker no earlier than seven (7) Days prior to and no later than seven (7) Days after the date in such third written notice. Owner shall also use commercially reasonable efforts to provide LNG for Contractor to load onto the LNG Tanker. |
f. | Contractor shall have forty-eight (48) hours after the LNG Tanker is “all fast” at LNG Berth 3 to achieve Ready for Reduced Ship Loading (“First Try”). If Contractor achieves Ready for Reduced Ship Loading on the First Try, Owner shall pay Contractor a Schedule Bonus for SP6(b) in the amount of Sixty Thousand U.S. Dollars (U.S. $60,000) for each Day occurring after the date that Ready for Reduced Ship Loading occurs and before the Schedule Bonus Date for SP6(b), subject to the aggregate limit set forth in Section 5.c above. |
g. | If Contractor does not achieve Ready for Reduced Ship Loading on the First Try, Contractor will receive no Schedule Bonus for SP6(b) for the First Try (except as set forth below) and Contractor shall give Owner a fourth written notice specifying the date on which Contractor expects Subproject 6(b) to be Ready for Reduced Ship Loading, which fourth notice shall be given no later than thirty (30) Days prior to such date. Owner shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide LNG and a second LNG Tanker on the date that is no earlier than seven (7) Days prior to and not later than seven (7) Days after the date in such fourth written notice. Contractor shall have forty-eight (48) hours from the time that the second LNG Tanker is “all fast” at LNG Berth 3 to achieve Ready for Reduced Ship Loading (“Second Try”). Provided the date Contractor noticed Owner for the First Try was on or after two hundred fifty (250) Days prior to the Schedule Bonus Date for SP6(b) and Contractor achieves Ready for Reduced Ship Loading on the Second Try, Owner will pay Contractor a Schedule Bonus for SP6(b) in the amount of Thirty Thousand U.S. Dollars (U.S. $30,000) for each Day occurring from the date that the first LNG Tanker was “all fast” at LNG Berth 3 for the First Try until the date that Contractor achieves Ready for Reduced Ship Loading on the Second Try and Owner shall pay Contractor a Schedule Bonus for SP6(b) in the amount of Sixty Thousand U.S. Dollars (U.S. $60,000) for each Day occurring after the date Contractor achieves Ready for Reduced Ship Loading on the Second Try and before the Schedule Bonus Date for SP6(b), subject to the aggregate limit set forth in Section 5.c above. If Contractor fails to achieve Ready for Reduced Ship Loading on the Second Try, Owner shall have no obligation to pay Contractor the Schedule Bonus for SP6(b) and Contractor’s eligibility for the Schedule Bonus for SP6(b) shall terminate. |
h. | Owner’s obligations to provide an LNG Tanker and LNG shall be subject and subordinate to commercial and operational considerations involving the operation of the Sabine Liquefaction Facility and the marketing of LNG, including but not limited to LNG production or storage outages, lower than projected inventory, the priority of SPL’s LNG buyer needs, delay of the LNG Vessel, refusal of the owner, charterer or manager of the LNG Tanker to load at LNG Berth 3 and limitations on loading at a single berth. In such events, Owner shall have the right to suspend or cancel Ready for Reduced Ship Loading at its sole discretion without liability to Contractor. In the event of suspension, the time period to achieve Ready for Reduced Ship Loading will be tolled until loading can resume. In the event of cancellation, Owner and Contractor shall agree to reschedule and upon Contractor’s achievement of Ready for Reduced Ship Loading, Owner shall pay Contractor a Schedule Bonus for SP6(b) in the amount of Thirty Thousand U.S. Dollars (U.S. $30,000) for each Day occurring after the date in Contractor’s third written notice until the date that Contractor achieves Ready for Reduced Ship Loading and Owner shall pay Contractor a Schedule Bonus for SP6(b) in the amount of Sixty Thousand U.S. Dollars (U.S. $60,000) for each Day occurring after the date Contractor achieves Ready for Reduced Ship Loading and before the Schedule Bonus Date for SP6(b), subject to the aggregate limit set forth in Section 5.c above. Owner is not required to schedule such LNG Tanker until (i) there is sufficient LNG in storage in the LNG Tanks to evidence Ready for Reduced Ship Loading and (ii) Owner has an economic reason to export such LNG. |
i. | If Contractor is entitled to the Schedule Bonus for SP6(b) in accordance with Section 5.b of this Change Order No. 00009, Contractor shall invoice Owner the Schedule Bonus for SP6(b) upon achievement of Ready for Reduced Ship Loading; provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Contractor shall only be entitled to payment of the Schedule Bonus for SP6(b) if Contractor later achieves Substantial Completion of Subproject 6(b) prior to the Guaranteed Substantial Completion Date for SP6(b). Owner shall hold payment of such invoice in escrow until such time Contractor successfully completes the Ship Loading Time Test in accordance with Section 3.11.3 of Attachment S. |
j. | For the avoidance of doubt, Contractor shall not be entitled to a Schedule Bonus for SP6(b) should Ready for Reduced Ship Loading be achieved on or after the Schedule Bonus Date for SP6(b). |
k. | The Schedule Bonus Date for SP6(b) shall be subject to adjustment solely at the discretion of the President and Chief Executive Officer of Cheniere and any such adjustment shall be implemented by Change Order. |
