GOLAR LNG LIMITED (“Golar”)

Terms defined in the SPA shall have the meaning assigned to them therein when used in capitalised form in the following.

The Parties note that the structure of the New Bank Loan as reflected in the New Bank Loan Agreement is different from that described in the definition of the New Bank Loan as the Company (rather than the Subsidiaries) will be the formal borrower whilst the Subsidiaries will be guarantors.

The Parties recognise that Schedule 3 to the SPA was updated subsequent to the date of the Agreement. The correct Schedule 3 to the SPA (which is dated 31 January 2022) is attached hereto as Appendix 1.

The Parties recognise that the pairing of the Subsidiaries and the Vessels in Schedule 2 to the SPA was incorrect. A revised and correct version of Schedule 1 to the SPA is attached hereto as Appendix 2.

The Parties agree that the reference to “GOLAR FROST” in Clause 4.2 of the SPA shall be substituted with “GOLAR ICE”.

The Parties have received and accepted the Audited Balance Sheet. Based on this it is agreed that the Purchase Price is USD 336,666,236.

The Parties note that:

the Audited Balance Sheet reflects that there were no Shareholder Loans outstanding from Golar to the Subsidiaries and/or CoolPoolCo at the Valuation Date;

the need to transfer title to the Vessels to be acquired by Subsidiaries pursuant to the Purchase Options whilst the Vessels are all in international waters or in a neutral tax jurisdiction to avoid any national tax or other charges;

the fact that the Subsidiary Shares in the Subsidiaries parties to the Terminating Lease Agreements and the Existing Bank Loan are pledged to the lessors under the Terminating Lease Agreements and the lenders under the Existing Bank Loan, such pledges not being released unless and until the aforesaid lessors and lenders have received (or simultaneously with receiving) the amounts due to them pursuant to the exercise of the Purchase Options and the Existing Bank Loan; and

the complexity associated with each, combined closing.
