| TITLE: ISBL TRAIN FEED GAS HEATER – ENGINEERING AND PROCUREMENT |
The Agreement between the Parties listed above is changed as follows:
BACKGROUND:
Delivery of the feed gas may arrive at the Train 4 Facility battery limit at a temperature that is less than the operating minimum defined in Attachment A, Schedule A-2 (Basis of Design). To increase the temperature of the feed gas as needed, a feed gas/ hot oil heat exchanger will be required on the feed gas line of the LNG Train upstream of the H2S Scavenger/ Hg Adsorbers (C-1104A/B).
CHANGE:
1.ISBL Train Feed Gas Heater (4E-1106) – Contractor shall perform all Work necessary to engineer, specify, and procure an ISBL Feed Gas Heater based on the low feed gas temperature case defined in Attachment 1 (26251-100-MED-1T11-01106, Rev. 001 (Shell and Tube Heat Exchanger Datasheet – Feed Gas Heater)) to this Change Order. The equipment datasheet has been prepared by Contractor based on the design conditions and margins specified by Owner for the purpose of sizing the heat exchanger.
The exchanger shall be designed to utilize hot oil (Therminol 66) from the Train hot oil distribution system to increase the feed gas temperature. On the hot oil side, the feed gas heater shall be designed to be installed in parallel with the air-cooled Hot Oil Trim Cooler (E-4101), which is used to dissipate excess heat absorbed in the Waste Heat Recovery Units (WHRUs) that exceeds the heat duty requirement of the process users. Actual performance achieved by the heat exchanger is dependent upon the available excess hot oil duty within the existing hot oil system.
This Change Order does not change the basis of design of the feed gas battery limit conditions for which Train 4 Facility is designed as defined in Attachment A, Schedule A-2 Section 7.4.3, Table 5 (Feed Gas Battery Limit Conditions at Inlet to the Full Facility).
The detailed engineering, procurement, construction and commissioning/start-up of piles, foundations, pipes, valves, steel, etc. necessary for incorporating the feed gas heaters into the Train 4 Facility will be assessed and performed under a separate Change Order, or Change Orders, as may be required.

| TITLE: 138kV POINT OF INTERCONNECT LOCATION |
The EPC Agreement between the Parties listed above is changed as follows: (attach additional documentation if necessary)
BACKGROUND:
AEP has redesigned the Pompano switchyard to incorporate air insulated equipment outside of the GIS equipment. As a result, the type and location of the 138kV Point of Interconnect has been modified. Overhead structures will now be the 138kV interconnect between Rio Grande LNG and AEP. AEP’s structures will be located directly inside of the fence line of the AEP Pompano switchyard.
Contractor will provide overhead interconnection structures and install and terminate the 138kV cables and the fiber optic cables between the Main Intake Substation 2 and the interconnection structures which shall be located directly outside of the AEP Pompano switchyard and shall include all required hardware per Attachment 3 (Drawing No. EX- 001 – Example Material Delineation Drawing) to this Change Order to facilitate overhead cable termination by AEP. Final equipment location and requirements to be determined by Contractor, subject to approval by Owner.
The fiber optic cable connections shall take place near the Point of Interconnect structures.
Section 22.5 of Attachment A, Schedule A-1 (Scope of Work) and Section 15.0 of Attachment A, Schedule A-2 (Basis of Design) correctly reflect the Contractor’s scope relating to 138kV switchyard interface. However, the Parties have agreed, the Contract Price does not include Work as described in those sections. Attachment 1 to this Change Order defines the scope that was modified and now needs to be correctly reflected in the Contract Price.
Section 15.0 of the Basis of Design also requires a clarification. The 100% rating of the underground 138kV cables refers to the total load demand (three Trains at 1700 total amps) and not the switchgear bus rating (2000 amps).
CHANGE:
1.Contract Price: shall be adjusted for the revised Work as defined by the red-line mark-up to Attachment A, Schedule A-1, Section 22.5 (138 kV Switchyard Interface with AEP (Pompano)) and Section 15.0 of Attachment A, Schedule A-2 (Basis of Design) as provided in Attachment 1 and Attachment 2 respectively to this Change Order.
