The Agreement between the Parties listed above is changed as follows: (attach additional documentation if necessary)
Per Cheniere’s request, this change order involves the relocation of approximately 62 joints of 42” pipe and equipment mats from their current location in the contractor’s designated pipeyard at the LNG terminal to a location on the north side of the pipeyard. At Cheniere’s request, Contractor will coordinate the movement of these materials with Cheniere’s Richard Prudhomme.
Due to the uncertainties associated with this activity, this change will be performed on a time and material basis utilizing the contract rates, the total cost of which will be added to the Guaranteed Maximum Price.

DATE OF AGREEMENT: February 1, 2006
The Agreement between the Parties listed above is changed as follows: (attach additional documentation if necessary)
Hurricane Humberto hit the project area the evening of September 11, 2007 and created a stoppage of construction activities between September 12, 2007 and September 18, 2007. Willbros provided a Notification of a Force Majeure Event to Cheniere on September 13, 2007. Due to the heavy rains encountered (approximately 13.5 inches), work was completely shutdown for a 5-day continuous period between September 12 and September 17, 2007. On September 17, 2007, construction crews returned to their respective work locations; however, the crews could not resume productive work at that time due to the wet right-of-way conditions. Two tie-in crews, a fabrication crew, an environmental crew and a supervision/support crew experienced work delays on September 17 and 18, 2007; ranging from 5.5 hours to 16 hours.
In accordance with Paragraph 20.1 of the Agreement, Willbros requests reimbursement of the standby costs for the above crews that were incurred beyond the five day continuous time period along with a resultant increase in the Guaranteed Maximum Price, and a 6-day increase to the Scheduled Mechanical Completion Date.
Please refer to the attached WRPI letter dated September 24, 2007 for backup to the change order including the change order basis, Force Majeure Event notification letter, standby cost summary, daily construction progress reports, and crew time sheets.
