OUTSTANDING RESTRICTED STOCK AGREEMENT

UNDER TELLURIAN INC. AMENDED AND RESTATED 2016

OMNIBUS INCENTIVE COMPENSATION PLAN

This Omnibus Amendment (this “Amendment”), dated as of the date set forth on the signature page hereto, amends the terms and conditions of your restricted stock award agreement (the “Award Agreement”) governing the terms of the incentive awards granted under the Tellurian Inc.

Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meaning set forth in the applicable Award Agreement or the Plan, as applicable.

In accordance with the terms of the Award Agreement and the Plan, you are being asked to consent to this Amendment to your Award Agreement.

The effectiveness of this Amendment is subject to, and contingent upon, the approval by the board of directors (the “Board”) of the Company of the following compensation changes, which serve as consideration of the promises and covenants herein, and which will be effective as of the date of effectiveness of this Amendment: (i) your annual base salary will be increased to $[●] effective January 1, 2022; (ii) your target and maximum short-term annual incentive opportunity will be [●]% and [●]% of your annual base salary, respectively; (iii) your target long-term incentive opportunity will be [●] times your annual base salary; and (iv) your maximum long-term incentive opportunity will be [●] times your target long-term incentive opportunity. In addition to, and not in limitation of the foregoing, as further consideration of the promises and covenants herein, the Company represents and warrants that you will be eligible to participate in the Company’s incentive compensation program (“ICP”) subject to the terms and conditions of the ICP. The amount of any awards granted to you under the ICP in any calendar year (if any), will be determined by the Board or its designee, and may, take into account such factors as the Board determines to be relevant, which may include individual or Company-level performance and which may be reduced by the amount of any cash payments received by you pursuant to your construction incentive program award in respect of the same calendar year as the applicable ICP award is granted, in each case as determined by the Board in its sole discretion.

Now, therefore, the Award Agreement is hereby amended as provided on Exhibit A, attached hereto.

By signing this Amendment, you acknowledge that you are signing this Amendment voluntarily and while under no obligation or compulsion to do so. You are not relying on the Company or any of its affiliates or any of their respective directors, officers, employees, agents, representatives or advisors with respect to the legal, tax, economic and related considerations of this Amendment, and the Company does not assume any liability with regard thereto.

Except as expressly modified by this Amendment, the terms and conditions of the Award Agreement shall continue to apply in accordance with its terms and the terms of the Plan.
