The Collateral Trustee and the other Secured Parties shall incur no liability as a result of the sale of the Pledge Agreement Collateral, or any part thereof, at any private sale pursuant to 5.04 hereof conducted in a commercially reasonable manner. Each Pledgor hereby waives, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Government Rule, any claims against the Collateral Trustee or any other Secured Party arising by reason of the fact that the price at which the Pledge Agreement Collateral may have been sold at such a commercially reasonable private sale was less than the price which might have been obtained at a public sale or was less than the aggregate amount of the Secured Obligations, even if, to the extent that it is commercially reasonable to do so, the Collateral Trustee accepts the first offer received and does not offer the Pledge Agreement Collateral to more than one offeree. It shall be a condition precedent to any sale or transfer of the Pledge Agreement Collateral that such purchaser or transferee thereof enter into an assumption agreement substantially in the form of the Assumption Agreement unless, at the time of each such transfer, Cheniere or any of its direct or indirect affiliates, joint ventures, and subsidiaries that are involved in the LNG business have under contract at one or more LNG facilities it retains, the right and obligation to process and receive a tariff for processing at least one billion cubic feet of gas per day, for a period of at least five years following such transfer of assets. To the extent any purchaser or transferee is required to enter into any such assumption agreement, it shall be assigned the benefits of the Crest Cheniere Indemnity.

5.07 Application of Proceeds. Except as otherwise herein expressly provided, the proceeds of any collection, sale or other realization of all or any part of the Pledge Agreement Collateral pursuant hereto shall be remitted to the Collateral Trustee in the form received with all necessary endorsements and, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Government Rule, be applied in accordance with Section 3.4 of the Collateral Trust Agreement.

5.08 Attorney-in-Fact. Without limiting any rights or powers granted by this Agreement to the Collateral Trustee while no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default the Collateral Trustee is hereby appointed the attorney-in-fact of the Pledgors for the purpose of carrying out the provisions of this Article V and taking any action and executing any instruments which may be reasonably required to accomplish the purposes hereof, which appointment as attorney-in-fact is irrevocable and coupled with an interest. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, so long as the Collateral Trustee shall be entitled under this Article V to make

collections in respect of the Pledge Agreement Collateral, the Collateral Trustee shall have the right and power to receive, endorse and collect all checks made payable to the order of the Pledgors representing any dividend, payment or other distribution in respect of the Pledge Agreement Collateral or any part thereof and to give full discharge for the same.

5.09 Perfection. Prior to the Closing Date, each Pledgor shall file or cause to be filed such financing statements and other documents in the offices set forth on Schedule 5.09 hereto and such other offices as may be necessary to perfect the security interests granted by Article III hereof. Each Pledgor hereby authorizes the Collateral Trustee (it being understood and agreed that the Collateral Trustee has no obligation in any circumstance) to file one or more financing or continuation statements, and amendments thereto, relating to all or any part of the Pledge Agreement Collateral without the signature of such Pledgor where permitted by applicable Government Rule; provided that such authorization shall not release such Pledgor from its obligations under Section 5.01(b) hereof. Copies of any such statement or amendment thereto shall be delivered to such Pledgor.

(a) Continuing Security Interest; Termination. This Agreement shall create a continuing assignment of and security interest in the Collateral and shall (i) remain in full force and effect until the Discharge of Parity Lien Obligations, (ii) be binding upon the Company, its successors and assigns and (iii) inure, together with the rights and remedies of the Collateral Trustee hereunder, to the benefit of the Collateral Trustee and the Secured Parties and their respective successors, transferees and assigns.

(b) Releases. All or any portion of the Collateral shall be released from the security interests created hereby in accordance with Article 4 of the Collateral Trust Agreement.

5.11 Further Assurances. Each Pledgor agrees that, from time to time upon the request of the Collateral Trustee, each Pledgor shall execute and deliver such further documents and do such other acts and things as the Collateral Trustee may reasonably request in order fully to effectuate the purposes of this Agreement.

If Crest shall have delivered a Crest Default Remedy Instruction to the Collateral Trustee, the Collateral Trustee for the benefit of Crest shall have all of the rights and remedies with respect to the Pledge Agreement Collateral of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code.

7.01 Expenses of Pledgor’s Agreements and Duties. The terms, conditions, covenants and agreements to be observed or performed by each Pledgor under this Agreement shall be observed or performed by it at its sole cost and expense.

7.02 Collateral Trustee’s Right to Perform on Pledgor’s Behalf. If any Pledgor shall fail to observe or perform any of the terms, conditions, covenants and agreements to be observed or performed by it under this Agreement, the Collateral Trustee may (but shall not be obligated to), to the extent legally practicable (and so long as the rights of the Collateral Trustee shall not be adversely affected thereby (as determined by the Collateral Trustee)), upon reasonable notice to such Pledgor, do the same or cause it to be done or performed or observed at the expense of such Pledgor, either in its name or in the name and on behalf of such Pledgor, and such Pledgor hereby authorizes the Collateral Trustee to do.

7.03 Waivers of Rights Inhibiting Enforcement. For the benefit of each Parity Lien Secured Party, each Pledgor waives:

(a) any claim that, as to any part of the Pledge Agreement Collateral, a public sale, should the Collateral Trustee elect so to proceed, is, in and of itself, not a commercially reasonable method of sale for the Pledge Agreement Collateral,

(b) the right to assert in any action or proceeding between it and the Collateral Trustee relating to this Agreement any offsets or counterclaims (other than mandatory counterclaims) that it may have,

(c) except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, NOTICE OR JUDICIAL HEARING IN CONNECTION WITH THE COLLATERAL TRUSTEE’S TAKING POSSESSION OR DISPOSITION OF ANY OF THE PLEDGE AGREEMENT COLLATERAL INCLUDING ANY AND ALL PRIOR NOTICE AND HEARING FOR ANY PREJUDGMENT REMEDY OR REMEDIES AND ANY SUCH RIGHT THAT SUCH PLEDGOR WOULD OTHERWISE HAVE UNDER THE CONSTITUTION OR ANY STATUTE OF THE UNITED STATES OR OF ANY STATE, AND ALL OTHER REQUIREMENTS AS TO THE TIME, PLACE AND TERMS OF SALE OR OTHER REQUIREMENTS WITH RESPECT TO THE ENFORCEMENT OF THE COLLATERAL TRUSTEE’S RIGHTS HEREUNDER,

(d) all rights of redemption, appraisement, valuation, stay and extension or moratorium, and

(e) all other rights the exercise of which would, directly or indirectly, prevent, delay or inhibit the enforcement of any of the rights or remedies under this Agreement or the absolute sale of the Pledge Agreement Collateral, now or hereafter in force under any

applicable Government Rule, and each Pledgor, for itself and all who may claim under it, insofar as it or they now or hereafter lawfully may, hereby waive the benefit of all such laws and rights.

7.04 No Waiver. No failure on the part of the Collateral Trustee or any of its agents to exercise and no delay in exercising, and no course of dealing with respect to, any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, and no single or partial exercise by the Collateral Trustee for the benefit of the Parity Lien Secured Parties or any of its agents of any right, power or remedy hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. The remedies provided herein for the benefit of the Parity Lien Secured Parties are cumulative and are not exclusive of any remedies provided by applicable Government Rule.

7.06 Waivers, Etc. This Agreement may be amended, supplemented or modified only by an instrument in writing signed by each Pledgor and the Collateral Trustee

acting on behalf of the Parity Lien Secured Parties in accordance with the Collateral Trust Agreement, and any provision of this Agreement may be waived by the Collateral Trustee acting on behalf of the Parity Lien Secured Parties in accordance with the Collateral Trust Agreement; provided that no amendment, supplement, modification or waiver shall, unless by an instrument in writing signed by the Collateral Trustee acting with the consent of all of the Secured Debt Representatives, alter the terms of this Section 7.06. Any waiver shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specified purpose for which it was given.

7.07 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the respective successors and assigns of each Pledgor, the Collateral Trustee for the benefit of the Secured Parties and each holder of any of the Secured Obligations (provided, however, that no Pledgor shall assign or transfer its rights hereunder without the prior consent of the Collateral Trustee for the benefit of the Parity Lien Secured Parties acting in accordance with Indenture and the other Parity Lien Documents).

7.08 Counterparts; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, all of which when taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument and either of the parties hereto may execute this Agreement by signing any such counterpart. This Agreement shall become effective at such time as the Collateral Trustee and the Pledgors shall have received counterparts hereof signed by all of the intended parties hereto.

7.09 Agents, Etc. The Collateral Trustee may employ agents and attorneys-in-fact in connection herewith and shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any such agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it in good faith. Each Pledgor acknowledges that it has received a copy of the Indenture, Security Agreement, Collateral Trust Agreement, and any other Parity Lien Document in effect as of the date hereof or if any Pledgor becomes a party hereto on another date, as in effect on such other date as the same apply hereto and acknowledges and agrees to the terms and conditions of the Indenture and the Security Agreement as the same apply hereto.
