On August 11, 2021, Cheniere Energy, Inc. (the “Company”) and Jack A.

The Amendment extended the term of Mr. Fusco’s Employment Agreement from December 31, 2022 to March 31, 2024, and provided that the term will be extended automatically for consecutive periods of one year thereafter unless either party provides notice in accordance with the terms of the Amendment. The Amendment also provides that, if Mr. Fusco remains employed through the end of the term of the Employment Agreement following a notice of its nonrenewal, and, at the time that Mr. Fusco’s relationship with the Company concludes none of the conditions constituting “cause” exist, (i) Mr. Fusco will be eligible for a pro-rated bonus for the fiscal year of termination based on actual performance, and (ii) the Company will reimburse Mr. Fusco for COBRA premiums for himself and his dependents for up to 18-months following his termination date.
