In order to make a claim for indemnification pursuant to Section 8.1, the Party seeking indemnification (the “Indemnified Party”) shall give the other Party (the “Indemnifying Party”) written notice of such claim, which notice shall contain a brief description of the claim and the nature and amount of such Loss, to the extent that the nature and amount thereof are determinable at such time (a “Claim Notice”); provided that a delay in notifying the Indemnifying Party will not relieve it of its obligations pursuant to Section 8.1 so long as the Indemnifying Party is not materially prejudiced by the delay in such notice.

(a) Conditions. With respect to the defense of any third party proceeding against or involving an indemnified party in which the claimant seeks only the recovery of a sum of money for which indemnification is provided, at its option the Indemnifying Party may appoint as lead counsel of such defense a legal counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party; provided that before the Indemnifying Party assumes control of such defense it must first (A) enter into an agreement with such Indemnified Party (in form and substance satisfactory to the Indemnified Party) pursuant to which the Indemnifying Party agrees to be fully responsible (with no reservation of any rights other than the right to be subrogated to the rights of the indemnified party) for all Losses relating to such proceeding and (B) provide written assurances to the Indemnified Party of the Indemnifying Party’s ability to defend such proceeding and satisfy any judgment with respect thereto.

(b) Exceptions, etc. The Indemnified Party will be entitled to participate in the defense of such claim and to employ separate counsel of its choice for such purpose at its own expense; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnifying Party will bear the reasonable fees and expenses of such separate counsel incurred prior to the date upon which the Indemnifying Party effectively assumes control of such defense; provided, further, that

the Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to reimbursement of only a single legal counsel for all such Indemnified Parties. The Indemnifying Party will not be entitled to assume control of the defense of such claim, and will pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such single legal counsel retained by the Indemnified Parties, if:

(i) the Indemnified Party reasonably believes that an adverse determination of such proceeding could be materially detrimental to or materially injure the Indemnified Party’s reputation or future business prospects;

(ii) the Indemnified Party reasonably believes that a conflict of interest exists or could arise which, under applicable principles of legal ethics, could prohibit a single legal counsel from representing both the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party in such proceeding, other than a conflict which may exist due to the underlying nature of the duty to indemnify; or

(iii) a court of competent jurisdiction rules that the Indemnifying Party has failed or is failing to prosecute or defend such claim.

8.4 Settlement of Claims. The Indemnifying Party must obtain the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) prior to entering into any settlement of any claim or proceeding or ceasing to defend any claim or proceeding for which indemnification is sought under this Article VIII.

8.5 Payments. Any indemnification payments made pursuant to this Article VIII shall be effected by wire transfer of immediately available funds from the Indemnifying Party’s to an account designated by the applicable Indemnified Party or by delivery of a cashier’s check by the Indemnifying Party to the applicable Indemnified Party.

(a) This Agreement, the Exhibits hereto and all documents contemplated hereunder constitute the entire agreement between the Parties with respect to the matters set forth herein and therein and supersede any and all negotiations, agreements, and expressions of intent, written or oral, prior hereto.

(b) This Agreement may be amended only by written agreement executed by the Parties; provided, however, during the period an affiliate of CMI controls Cheniere Energy Partners GP, LLC, any amendments, modifications or waivers of Articles II, III, and VI, and this Section 9.1(b) that adversely affect Investments shall require the approval of the Conflicts Committee. No waiver by either Party of any one or more defaults by the other Party in the performance of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall operate or be construed as a waiver of any other default or defaults whether of a like kind or different nature.

(c) This Agreement and any amendment or modification hereof, or waiver hereunder, may be executed and delivered in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute a single Agreement.
