AGREEMENT
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the respective representations, warranties, covenants and agreements set forth in this Agreement and intending to be legally bound hereby, the Parties agree as follows:





ARTICLE I
The Merger
Section 1.1    The Merger. At the Effective Time, upon the terms and subject to satisfaction or valid waiver of the conditions set forth in this Agreement, and in accordance with the DGCL, Merger Sub shall be merged with and into Tellurian. As a result of the Merger, the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub shall cease and Tellurian shall continue as the corporation surviving the Merger (the “Surviving Corporation”).
Section 1.2    Closing. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, the closing of the Merger (the “Closing”) shall take place on a day that is a Business Day (a) at the offices of Magellan, no later than the second Business Day following the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in ARTICLE VII (other than (i) those conditions that are waived in accordance with the terms of this Agreement by the Party or Parties for whose benefit such conditions exist and (ii) any such conditions that, by their terms, are not capable of being satisfied until the Closing) or (b) at such other place, time and/or date as the Parties may otherwise agree; provided, however, that this Agreement may be terminated pursuant to and in accordance with Section 7.1 such that the Parties shall not be required to effect the Closing. The date upon which the Closing shall occur is referred to herein as the “Closing Date.”
Section 1.3    Effective Time. Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, at the Closing, Magellan, Tellurian and Merger Sub shall cause a certificate of merger (the “Certificate of Merger”) to be executed, acknowledged and filed with the Secretary of State of Delaware in accordance with the relevant provisions of the DGCL and shall make all other filings or recordings required by the DGCL. The Merger will become effective at such time as the Certificate of Merger has been duly filed with the Secretary of State of Delaware or at such later date or time as may be agreed by Magellan and Tellurian in writing and specified in the Certificate of Merger in accordance with the DGCL (the effective time of the Merger being hereinafter referred to as the “Effective Time”).
Section 1.4    Effect of the Merger. At the Effective Time, the effect of the Merger shall be as provided in this Agreement and the applicable provisions of the DGCL. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, at the Effective Time, all the property, rights, privileges, immunities, powers, franchises, licenses and authority of Tellurian and Merger Sub shall vest in the Surviving Corporation, and all debts, liabilities, obligations, restrictions and duties of Tellurian and Merger Sub shall become the debts, liabilities, obligations, restrictions and duties of the Surviving Corporation.
Section 1.5    Certificate of Incorporation; Bylaws. At the Effective Time, and pursuant to the Certificate of Merger, Article Fourth of the certificate of incorporation of Tellurian, as in effect on the date hereof, shall be amended to reduce the number of authorized shares to five thousand (5000) shares of Common Stock, and, as so amended, shall be the certificate of incorporation of the Surviving Corporation, until thereafter amended as provided therein and by applicable Law. At the Effective Time, the bylaws of Merger Sub in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the bylaws of the Surviving Corporation, until thereafter amended as provided therein and by applicable Law.

2



Section 1.6    Directors and Officers. The directors of Tellurian immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the directors of the Surviving Corporation, each to hold office in accordance with the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Surviving Corporation. The officers of the Surviving Corporation shall be designated by Tellurian prior to the Effective Time, each to hold office in accordance with the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Surviving Corporation.
Section 1.7    Directors and Officers of Magellan. Prior to the Effective Time, Magellan shall take all necessary corporate action to appoint, effective immediately after the Effective Time, (a) three (3) members of the current Tellurian Board and two (2) other persons designated by Tellurian and (b) the persons designated by Tellurian as officers of Magellan.
ARTICLE II
Conversion of Securities; Exchange of Certificates
Section 2.1    Conversion of Securities. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Magellan, Merger Sub, Tellurian or any of their stockholders, the following shall occur:
(a)    Conversion Generally. Each share of common stock of Tellurian, par value $0.001 per share (“Tellurian Stock”), issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than any shares of Tellurian Stock to be canceled pursuant to Section 2.1(b)), shall be converted into the right to receive 1.300 (the “Exchange Ratio”) shares of Magellan Stock (the “Magellan Shares” or the “Merger Consideration”). All shares of Tellurian Stock that have been converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration as provided in this Section 2.1(a) shall as of the Effective Time no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and retired and shall cease to exist, and each Certificate and each Book-Entry Share which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented such shares shall thereafter represent only the right to receive the Merger Consideration therefor in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Certificates and Book-Entry Shares previously representing shares of Tellurian Stock (other than any shares of Tellurian Stock to be canceled pursuant to Section 2.1(b)) shall be exchanged for the Merger Consideration, without interest, upon the surrender of such Certificates or Book-Entry Shares in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.3.
(b)    Cancellation of Certain Shares. Each share of Tellurian Stock held (i) by Magellan, Merger Sub, any Subsidiary of Magellan or Merger Sub, (ii) in the treasury of Tellurian, or (iii) by any Subsidiary of Tellurian immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be automatically canceled and retired and shall cease to exist, and no consideration shall be delivered in exchange therefor.
(c)    Merger Sub. Each share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be converted into and become one newly issued, fully paid and non-assessable share of common stock of the Surviving Corporation so that, after the Effective Time, Magellan shall be the holder of all of the issued and outstanding shares of the Surviving Company’s common stock.

3



(d)     Change in Shares. If between the date of this Agreement and the Effective Time the outstanding shares of Tellurian Stock or Magellan Stock, or securities convertible or exchangeable into or exercisable for shares of Tellurian Stock or Magellan Stock, shall have been changed into a different number of shares or a different class in accordance with this Agreement, by reason of any stock dividend (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, cash dividends), subdivision, reclassification, recapitalization, split, reverse split, combination, conversion, exchange of shares or any other similar transaction, the Exchange Ratio shall be correspondingly adjusted to reflect such stock dividend, subdivision, reclassification, recapitalization, split, reverse split, combination, exchange of shares or other similar transaction.
Section 2.2    Treatment of Equity Compensation Awards. Immediately prior to the Effective Time, each restricted share of Tellurian Stock (the “Tellurian Restricted Stock”) granted and then outstanding under the Tellurian 2016 Omnibus Incentive Plan and any associated Restricted Stock Agreements and Notices of Grant shall, without any action on the part of the holder thereof, Tellurian, Magellan or Merger Sub, be converted into 1.300 shares of comparable restricted stock of Magellan.
Section 2.3    Exchange of Certificates.
(a)    Exchange Agent. Prior to the Closing Date, Magellan shall appoint an exchange agent reasonably acceptable to Tellurian (the “Exchange Agent”) for the purpose of exchanging shares of Tellurian Stock for Merger Consideration. Prior to the Effective Time, Magellan shall make available to the Exchange Agent, for the benefit of the holders of shares of Tellurian Stock, shares of Magellan Stock and, if applicable, cash in an amount equal to the aggregate Merger Consideration to be paid pursuant to this ARTICLE II (the certificates representing the shares of Magellan Stock comprising such aggregate Merger Consideration and, if applicable, cash in lieu of fractional shares, being referred to hereinafter as the “Stock Merger Exchange Fund”). The Exchange Agent shall, pursuant to irrevocable instructions, deliver the Merger Consideration out of the Stock Merger Exchange Fund. The Stock Merger Exchange Fund shall not be used for any purpose other than as set forth in this Agreement.
(b)    Exchange Procedures. Promptly following the Effective Time, the Exchange Agent shall mail to each holder of record of a certificate or certificates which immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding shares of Tellurian Stock (the “Certificates”) or of non-certificated shares of Tellurian Stock represented by book-entry (“Book-Entry Shares”) (i) a letter of transmittal in form approved by Tellurian prior to the Effective Time, and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of Certificates (or affidavits of loss in lieu thereof) or Book-Entry Shares in exchange for the Merger Consideration. Upon surrender of Certificates (or affidavits of loss and, if reasonably requested by Magellan, appropriate bonds in lieu thereof), or in the case of Book-Entry Shares, upon adherence to the applicable procedures set forth in the letter of transmittal, for cancellation to the Exchange Agent together with such letter of transmittal, properly completed and duly executed in accordance with the instructions thereto, and such other documents as may be reasonably required by the Exchange Agent or pursuant to such instructions, the holder of such Certificates or Book-Entry Shares shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor the Merger Consideration, without interest, allocable to such Certificates or Book-Entry Shares, and the Certificates or Book-Entry Shares so surrendered shall forthwith be canceled. In the event of a transfer of ownership of shares of Tellurian Stock which is not registered in the transfer records of Tellurian, the Merger Consideration may

4



be issued to a transferee if the Certificate representing such shares of Tellurian Stock is presented to the Exchange Agent (or in the case of Book-Entry Shares, upon adherence to the applicable procedures set forth in the letter of transmittal), accompanied by all documents required to evidence and effect such transfer and by evidence that any applicable stock transfer Taxes have been paid. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 2.3, each Certificate and each Book-Entry Share shall be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive upon such surrender the Merger Consideration allocable to such Certificates or Book-Entry Shares. No dividends or other distributions with respect to Magellan Stock issued in the Merger having a record date after the Effective Time and payable to the holders of record thereof after the Effective Time will be paid to Persons entitled by reason of the Merger to receive Magellan Stock until such Persons surrender their Certificates (or in the case of Book-Entry Shares, upon adherence to the applicable procedures set forth in the letter of transmittal) as provided in this Section 2.3(b). Upon such surrender, there shall be paid to the Person in whose name the Merger Consideration is issued any dividends or other distributions having a record date after the Effective Time and payable with respect to such Magellan Stock between the Effective Time and the time of such surrender. After such surrender, at the appropriate payment date, there shall be paid to the Person in whose name the Merger Consideration is issued any dividends or other distributions on such Magellan Stock with a payment date after such surrender which shall have a record date after the Effective Time. In no event shall the Persons entitled to receive such dividends or other distributions be entitled to receive interest on such dividends or other distributions.
(c)    Further Rights in Tellurian Stock. All Merger Consideration paid in accordance with the terms hereof shall be deemed to have been issued in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such shares of Tellurian Stock.
(d)    Termination of Stock Exchange Fund. Any portion of the Stock Merger Exchange Fund (including any interest received with respect thereto) which remains undistributed to the holders of Tellurian Stock on the day that is six months after the Effective Time shall be delivered to Magellan upon demand, and any holders of Tellurian Stock who have not theretofore complied with this ARTICLE II shall thereafter look only to Magellan (subject to abandoned property, escheat or other similar Laws) for payment of the Merger Consideration, without any interest thereon.
(e)    No Liability. Neither the Exchange Agent nor any of the Parties shall be liable to any holder of shares of Tellurian Stock entitled to payment of the Merger Consideration under this ARTICLE II for any Merger Consideration (including any interest or cash in lieu of fractional shares) from the Stock Merger Exchange Fund properly delivered to a public official pursuant to any abandoned property, escheat or similar Law. The Exchange Agent shall not be entitled to vote or exercise any rights of ownership with respect to the Magellan Stock held by it from time to time hereunder, except that it shall receive and hold all dividends or other distributions paid or distributed with respect to such Magellan Stock for the account of the Persons entitled thereto.
(f)    Lost Certificates. If any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed in the form required by the Exchange Agent and, if reasonably required by Magellan, the posting by such Person of a bond, in such reasonable and customary amount as Magellan may direct, as indemnity against

5



any claim that may be made with respect to such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate, the Exchange Agent will issue in exchange for such lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate the applicable Merger Consideration without any interest thereon.
(g)    Withholding. Each of Magellan, the Surviving Corporation and the Exchange Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder of Tellurian Stock such amounts as Magellan, the Surviving Corporation, or the Exchange Agent are required to deduct and withhold under the Code, or any applicable provision of state, local or foreign Tax Law, with respect to the making of such payment. To the extent that amounts are so withheld by Magellan, the Surviving Corporation, or the Exchange Agent and paid over to the applicable Governmental Authority, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of Tellurian Stock in respect of whom such deduction and withholding was made by Magellan, the Surviving Corporation or the Exchange Agent, as the case may be.
Section 2.4    Fractional Shares. If a holder of shares of Tellurian Stock is entitled to receive any fractional share of Magellan Stock based on application of the Exchange Ratio to the total number of shares of Tellurian Stock held by such holder immediately prior to the Effective Time, such holder will be entitled to receive, at Tellurian’s option, either (i) such fractional share or (ii) cash in lieu of such fractional shares based on the closing price of Magellan Stock on Nasdaq on the trading day immediately preceding the Effective Time multiplied by the Exchange Ratio.
Section 2.5    Stock Transfer Books. At the Effective Time, the stock transfer books of Tellurian shall be closed and thereafter there shall be no further registration of transfers of shares of Tellurian Stock outstanding on the records of Tellurian prior to the Effective Time. From and after the Effective Time, the holders of Certificates and Book-Entry Shares shall cease to have any rights with respect to the shares of Tellurian Stock represented thereby except as otherwise provided herein or by Law. From and after the Effective Time, any Certificates presented to the Exchange Agent, Magellan or the Surviving Corporation for transfer or any other reason shall be canceled and exchanged for the applicable Merger Consideration as provided in, and in accordance with, this ARTICLE II.
ARTICLE III
Representations and Warranties of Magellan and Merger Sub
Except as disclosed in (i) the disclosure letter delivered by Magellan to Tellurian (the “Magellan Disclosure Schedule”) prior to the execution of this Agreement (provided that disclosure in any section of the Magellan Disclosure Schedule shall be deemed to be disclosure with respect to any other Section of this Agreement to the extent that it is reasonably apparent on the face of such disclosure that it is applicable to such other Section notwithstanding the omission of a reference or cross-reference thereto) and (ii) the SEC Filings (excluding any disclosure set forth in any risk factor section, any disclosure in any section relating to forward-looking statements or any other statements that are predictive or primarily cautionary in nature other than, in each of the foregoing, any historical facts included therein), Magellan represents and warrants to Tellurian that:

6



Section 3.1    Organization. Magellan is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the Laws of the State of Delaware. Magellan has full corporate power and authority to own, lease and operate its properties and to carry on its business as presently conducted. Magellan is duly qualified and in good standing to do business as a foreign corporation in each jurisdiction in which the conduct or nature of its business or the ownership, leasing, holding or operating of its properties makes such qualification necessary, except such jurisdictions where the failure to be so qualified or in good standing, individually or in the aggregate, would not have a Material Adverse Effect on Magellan. Magellan has made available to Tellurian accurate and complete copies of all Magellan Organizational Documents and the organizational documents of each Subsidiary of Magellan.
Section 3.2    Capitalization.
(a)    The authorized capital stock of Magellan consists of 300,000,000 shares of Magellan Stock and 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share. All of the outstanding shares of Magellan Stock have been duly authorized and validly issued in accordance with the Certificate of Incorporation and are fully paid and non-assessable, and have been issued in compliance with all applicable Laws and are not subject to any pre-emptive rights. As of the date hereof, there are 5,879,610 issued and outstanding shares of Magellan Stock and no preferred stock or other Securities issued or outstanding of Magellan other than Magellan Stock. No bonds, debentures, notes or other instruments or evidence of indebtedness having the right to vote (or convertible into, or exercisable or exchangeable for, securities having the right to vote) on any matters on which the Magellan Stockholders may vote are issued or outstanding. As of August 2, 2016, there are issued and outstanding, unexercised options for the purchase of shares of 726,973 shares of Magellan Stock, issued pursuant to the Magellan 1998 Stock Incentive Plan or 2012 Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan and associated award agreements. At Closing, any outstanding options held by Magellan employees, officers and directors shall be exercisable for such period of time as provided in the award agreement and the Magellan 1998 Stock Incentive Plan or 2012 Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan. At Closing, any and all contractual or similar obligations payable to Magellan directors from Magellan or its Affiliates, or otherwise owing to such Magellan directors as a result of their past, present and future services as Magellan directors, shall have been released, save and except for: (i) 100,000 shares of Magellan Stock, which shall be issued to and divided among the Magellan directors as of Closing and (ii) the total sum of $150,000, to be divided among the Magellan directors and payable in cash at Closing; provided, however, that such release shall not affect any right to indemnification and insurance as provided in Section 5.8.
(b)    Subject to receipt of the Magellan Stockholder Approval, the Magellan Shares to be issued pursuant to this Agreement will be duly authorized and when issued and delivered pursuant to this Agreement in accordance with the terms hereof, will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.’
(c)    There are no preemptive rights to purchase any shares of Magellan Stock or Securities of any Subsidiary of Magellan. Except for the Magellan Shares to be issued pursuant to this Agreement or as set forth in Section 3.2(c) of the Magellan Disclosure Schedule, there are no outstanding options, warrants or other rights to purchase, agreements or other obligations to issue, or rights to convert

7



any obligations into or exchange any securities for, shares of Magellan Stock or other Securities of Magellan or any Subsidiary of Magellan.
(d)    Except as set forth in Section 3.2(d) of the Magellan Disclosure Schedule, Magellan does not own, directly or indirectly, any capital stock, membership, interest, partnership interest, joint venture interest or other interest in any Person.
Section 3.3    Authority. Subject to the receipt of the Magellan Stockholder Approval and assuming the accuracy of the representations set forth in Section 4.24, (i) each of Magellan and Merger Sub has the full corporate power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby; (ii) the execution, delivery and performance by Magellan and Merger Sub of this Agreement, and the consummation by them of the transactions contemplated hereby, have been duly authorized, and no other corporate proceedings on the part of Magellan or Merger Sub are necessary to authorize the execution, delivery and performance by Magellan and Merger Sub of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby; and (iii) this Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by Magellan and Merger Sub and, assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery of the other Parties, constitutes, and each other agreement, instrument or document executed or to be executed by Magellan in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby has been, or when executed will be, duly executed and delivered by Magellan and Merger Sub and, assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery of the other Parties, constitutes, or when executed and delivered will constitute, a valid and legally binding obligation of Magellan and Merger Sub enforceable against Magellan and Merger Sub in accordance with their respective terms, except that such enforceability may be limited by (A) applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and similar Laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and (B) equitable principles that may limit the availability of certain equitable remedies (such as specific performance) in certain instances (collectively, “Creditor Rights”). The Magellan Board, at a meeting duly called and held, has duly and unanimously adopted resolutions (A) approving this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, (B) declaring this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby advisable and (C) recommending that the Magellan Stockholders adopt this Agreement. As of the date of this Agreement, such resolutions have not been amended or withdrawn.
Section 3.4    Non-Contravention. Except for the receipt of the Magellan Stockholder Approval and as otherwise indicated in Section 3.4 of the Magellan Disclosure Schedule, the execution, delivery and performance by Magellan and Merger Sub of this Agreement and the consummation by Magellan and Merger Sub of the transactions contemplated hereby do not and will not (i) conflict with or result in a violation of any provision of the Magellan Organizational Documents or the organizational documents of any Subsidiary of Magellan, (ii) materially conflict with or result in a material violation of any provision of, or constitute (with or without the giving of notice or the passage of time or both) a material default under, or give rise (with or without the giving of notice or the passage of time or both) to any right of termination, cancellation or acceleration under, any bond, debenture, note, mortgage, indenture, lease, contract, agreement or other instrument or obligation to which Magellan or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which Magellan, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their properties may be bound, (iii) result in the creation or imposition of any material Encumbrance upon the properties of Magellan or any of its Subsidiaries, except for Permitted Encumbrances and Encumbrances set forth in Section 3.4 of the Magellan Disclosure Schedule or

8



(iv) assuming compliance with the matters referred to in Section 3.6, violate, in any material respect, any applicable Law binding upon Magellan or any of its Subsidiaries.

practicable after the clearance is received from the SEC. If at any time prior to the Closing Date any information relating to Magellan, Tellurian, or any of their respective Affiliates, directors or officers, is discovered by any Party that should be set forth in an amendment or supplement to the Proxy/Prospectus so that it would not include any misstatement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, the Party that discovers such information shall promptly notify the other Parties, and Magellan shall promptly file an appropriate amendment or supplement describing such information with the SEC and, to the extent required by applicable Law, disseminate the same to the Magellan Stockholders. Magellan shall promptly notify Tellurian of the receipt of any comments from the SEC or the staff of the SEC and of any request by the SEC or the staff of the SEC for amendments or supplements to the Proxy/Prospectus or for additional information, and Magellan shall supply Tellurian with copies of all correspondence between it or any of its Representatives, on the one hand, and the SEC or the staff of the SEC, on the other hand, with respect to the Proxy/Prospectus or the transactions contemplated hereby. Each of Magellan and Tellurian represents to the other that the information supplied or to be supplied by such Party for inclusion or incorporation by reference in the Proxy/Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto will not, at the date of mailing to stockholders and at the time of the Magellan Stockholder Meeting, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which such statement was made, not misleading.
(b)    As promptly as reasonably practicable after the date of this Agreement, Magellan shall file with the SEC the Registration Statement containing the Proxy/Prospectus. Magellan and Tellurian shall use all reasonable best efforts to have the Registration Statement declared effective under the Securities Act as promptly as practicable after such filing and to keep the Registration Statement effective as long as necessary to consummate the Merger and the other transactions contemplated hereby. Magellan and Tellurian shall also take any action (other than qualifying to do business in any jurisdiction in which it is not now so qualified or filing a general consent to service of process in any jurisdiction) required to be taken under any applicable state securities Laws in connection with the issuance of Magellan Shares in the Merger and (i) Magellan shall furnish all information concerning Magellan and the holders of shares of Magellan capital stock, and (ii) Tellurian shall furnish all information concerning Tellurian and the holders of shares of Tellurian capital stock, as may be reasonably requested in connection with any such action. Promptly after the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, Magellan shall cause the Proxy/Prospectus to be mailed to the Magellan Stockholders and Tellurian Stockholders, and if necessary, after the definitive Proxy/Prospectus has been mailed, promptly circulate amended, supplemented or supplemental proxy materials and, if required in connection therewith, re-solicit proxies or written consents, as applicable. If at any time prior to the Effective Time, the officers and directors of Magellan or Tellurian discover any statement which, in light of the circumstances under which it is made, is false or misleading with respect to a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary to make the statements made in the Proxy/Prospectus or Registration Statement not misleading, then such Party shall immediately notify each other Party of such misstatements or omissions. Magellan shall advise Tellurian, and Tellurian shall advise Magellan, as applicable, promptly after it receives notice thereof, of the time when the Registration Statement becomes effective or any supplement or amendment has been filed, the issuance of any stop order, the suspension of the qualification of the shares of Magellan Shares for offering or sale in any jurisdiction, or any request by the SEC for amendment of the

29



Proxy/Prospectus or the Registration Statement or comments thereon and responses thereto or requests by the SEC for additional information.
(c)    Subject to Section 5.3, Magellan shall, (i) as promptly as practicable following the date of this Agreement, establish a record date for, duly call, give notice of, convene and hold the Magellan Stockholder Meeting and (ii) through the Magellan Board, recommend to the Magellan Stockholders that they adopt this Agreement and approve the Merger pursuant to this Agreement (the “Magellan Board Recommendation”). Except to the extent there is an Adverse Recommendation Change, Magellan shall include in the Proxy/Prospectus a copy of the Magellan Fairness Opinion and (subject to Section 5.3) the Magellan Board Recommendation. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Magellan may postpone or adjourn the Magellan Stockholder Meeting (A) after consultation with Tellurian, and with Tellurian’s consent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), to solicit additional proxies for the purpose of obtaining the Magellan Stockholder Approval, (B) for the absence of quorum, (C) to allow reasonable additional time for the filing and/or mailing of any supplemental or amended disclosure that Magellan has determined after consultation with outside legal counsel is necessary under applicable Law and for such supplemental or amended disclosure to be disseminated and reviewed by the Magellan Stockholders prior to the Magellan Stockholder Meeting and (D) if Magellan has delivered any notice contemplated by Section 5.3(c). Except to the extent there is an Adverse Recommendation Change, each of Magellan and Tellurian shall use their respective reasonable best efforts to solicit their respective stockholders to obtain the Magellan Stockholder Approval and Tellurian Stockholder Approval, respectively.
(d)    Subject to Section 5.3, Tellurian shall, as promptly as practicable following the date of this Agreement, establish a record date for, duly call, give notice of, convene and hold the Tellurian Stockholder Meeting. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Tellurian may postpone or adjourn the Tellurian Stockholder Meeting to allow reasonable additional time for the filing and/or mailing of any supplemental or amended disclosure that Tellurian has determined after consultation with outside legal counsel is necessary under applicable Law and for such supplemental or amended disclosure to be disseminated and reviewed by the Tellurian Stockholders prior to the Magellan Stockholder Meeting.

32



(xiv)    agree, in writing or otherwise, to take any of the foregoing actions, or take any action or agree, in writing or otherwise, to take any action which would in any material respect impede or delay the ability of the Parties to satisfy any of the conditions to the transactions contemplated hereby, other than as permitted in Section 5.3.
Section 5.3    No Solicitation by Magellan, Etc.
(a)    Except as otherwise permitted by this Section 5.3, Magellan shall not, and shall use its best efforts to cause its directors, officers, employees, investment bankers, financial advisors, attorneys, accountants, agents and other representatives (collectively, “Representatives”) not to, directly or indirectly (i) solicit, initiate, knowingly facilitate, knowingly encourage or knowingly induce any inquiries or any proposals that constitute the submission of an Alternative Proposal, (ii) furnish any confidential information or enter into any confidentiality agreement, merger agreement, letter of intent, agreement in principle, stock purchase agreement, asset purchase agreement or exchange agreement, option agreement or other similar agreement relating to an Alternative Proposal (an “Acquisition Agreement”), or (iii) withdraw, modify or qualify, or propose publicly to withdraw, modify or qualify, in a manner adverse to Tellurian, the Magellan Board Recommendation or publicly recommend the approval or adoption of, or publicly approve or adopt, or propose to publicly recommend, approve or adopt, any Alternative Proposal (the taking of any action described in clause (iii) being referred to as an “Adverse Recommendation Change”).
(b)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 5.3(a), if at any time prior to obtaining the Magellan Stockholder Approval, (i) Magellan has received an Alternative Proposal that the Magellan Board believes is bona fide, (ii) the Magellan Board, after consultation with its financial advisors and outside legal counsel, determines in good faith that such Alternative Proposal constitutes or could reasonably be expected to lead to or result in a Superior Proposal and (iii) such Alternative Proposal did not result from a material breach of this Section 5.3, then Magellan may (A) furnish information, including any non-public information, with respect to Magellan and its Subsidiaries to the Person making such Alternative Proposal, and (B) participate in discussions or negotiations regarding such Alternative Proposal; provided that (x) Magellan shall not, and shall use reasonable best efforts to cause its Representatives not to, disclose any non-public information to such Person unless Magellan has, or first enters into, a customary confidentiality agreement with such Person with confidentiality provisions that are not less restrictive to such Person than the provisions of the Confidentiality Agreement are to Tellurian and (y) Magellan shall provide to Tellurian any non-public information with respect to Magellan and its Subsidiaries that was not previously provided or made available to Tellurian prior to or substantially concurrently with providing or making available such non-public information to such other Person.
(c)    In addition to the other obligations of Magellan set forth in this Section 5.3, Magellan shall promptly advise Tellurian, orally and in writing, and in no event later than five (5) Business Days after receipt, if any proposal, offer, inquiry or other contact is received by, any information is requested from, or any discussions or negotiations are sought to be initiated with, Magellan in respect of any Alternative Proposal, and shall, in any such notice to Tellurian, indicate the identity of the Person making such proposal, offer, inquiry or other contact and the terms and conditions of any proposals or offers or the nature of any inquiries or contacts (and shall include with such notice copies of any written materials received from or on behalf of

33



such Person relating to such proposal, offer, inquiry or request), and thereafter shall promptly keep Tellurian reasonably informed of all material developments affecting the status and terms of any such proposals, offers, inquiries or requests (and Magellan shall promptly provide Tellurian with copies of any additional written materials received by Magellan or that Magellan has delivered to any third party making an Alternative Proposal that relate to such proposals, offers, inquiries or requests) and of the status of any such discussions or negotiations.
(d)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Magellan receives a written Alternative Proposal that the Magellan Board believes is bona fide and the Magellan Board, after consultation with its financial advisors and outside legal counsel, concludes that such Alternative Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal, then the Magellan Board may, at any time prior to obtaining the Magellan Stockholder Approval, if it determines in good faith, after consultation with outside legal counsel, that the failure to take such action would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law, effect an Adverse Recommendation Change and/or enter into an Acquisition Agreement; provided, however, that Magellan shall not be entitled to exercise its right to make any Adverse Recommendation Change in response to a Superior Proposal or execute or enter into an Acquisition Agreement for a Superior Proposal until five (5) Business Days after Magellan provides written notice to Tellurian (a “Magellan Notice”) advising Tellurian that the Magellan Board or a committee thereof has received a Superior Proposal, specifying the material terms and conditions of such Superior Proposal, and identifying the Person or group making such Superior Proposal and, at the request of Tellurian, Magellan shall negotiate in good faith with Tellurian during such five (5) Business Day period, with respect to any alternative transaction (including any modifications to the terms of this Agreement) that would allow the Magellan Board not to make such Adverse Recommendation Change consistent with its fiduciary duties (it being understood that any change in the financial or other material terms of a Superior Proposal shall require a new Magellan Notice and a new five (5) Business Day period under this Section 5.3(d)); and provided, further, that Magellan shall not be entitled to exercise its right to make any Adverse Recommendation Change in response to a Superior Proposal or execute or enter into an Acquisition Agreement for a Superior Proposal unless Magellan and its Representatives have complied with the provisions of Section 5.3(a).
(e)    For purposes of this Agreement:
(i)    “Alternative Proposal” means any inquiry, proposal or offer from any Person or “group” (as defined in Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act), other than Tellurian, relating to any (A) direct or indirect acquisition (whether in a single transaction or a series of related transactions) of beneficial ownership (within the meaning of Section 13 under the Exchange Act) of twenty percent (20%) or more of any class of equity securities of Magellan, or (B) merger, consolidation, unit exchange, share exchange, business combination, recapitalization, liquidation, dissolution or similar transaction involving Magellan that is structured to permit such Person or group to acquire beneficial ownership of at least twenty percent (20%) of the equity interests of Magellan; in each case, other than the transactions contemplated hereby.
(ii)    “Superior Proposal” means a bona fide written Alternative Proposal, obtained after the date of this Agreement and not in breach of this Section 5.3, which is on terms

34



and conditions which the Magellan Board determines in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisors and outside legal counsel, taking into account all legal, financial, regulatory, timing and other aspects of the proposal, all conditions contained therein and the Person making the proposal, to be more favorable to the Magellan Stockholders from a financial point of view than the transactions contemplated hereby (after giving effect to any adjustments to the terms and provisions of this Agreement committed to in writing by Tellurian in response to such Alternative Proposal); provided, that, for purposes of this definition of “Superior Proposal,” the term “Alternative Proposal” shall have the meaning assigned to such term in (i), except that the reference to “20%” in the definition of “Alternative Proposal” shall be deemed to be a reference to “50%.”
(f)    Notwithstanding anything in this Section 5.3 to the contrary, the Magellan Board may, at any time prior to obtaining the Magellan Stockholder Approval, effect an Adverse Recommendation Change in response to an Intervening Event if the Magellan Board concludes in good faith, after consultation with outside counsel and its financial advisors, that the failure to take such action would be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law; provided, however, that Magellan shall provide Tellurian with five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice advising Tellurian it intends to effect an Adverse Recommendation Change and specifying, in reasonable detail, the reasons therefor (including the material facts and circumstances related to the applicable Intervening Event), and during such five (5) Business Day period, Magellan shall consider in good faith any proposal by Tellurian to amend the terms and conditions of this Agreement in a manner that would allow the Magellan Board not to make such Adverse Recommendation Change consistent with its fiduciary duties. The term “Intervening Event” means, with respect to Magellan, a material event or circumstance that arises or occurs after the date of this Agreement and was not, prior to the date of this Agreement, reasonably foreseeable by the Magellan Board; provided, however, that none of the items in subsections (i) – (vii) set forth in the definition of “Material Adverse Effect” shall be deemed to be an Intervening Event.
(g)    Nothing contained in this Agreement shall prevent Magellan or the Magellan Board from issuing a “stop, look and listen” communication pursuant to Rule 14d-9(f) under the Exchange Act or complying with Rule 14d-9 and Rule 14e-2 under the Exchange Act or other applicable Law with respect to an Alternative Proposal if the Magellan Board determines in good faith (after consultation with outside legal counsel) that the failure to take such action would be reasonably likely to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable Law; provided that any Adverse Recommendation Change may only be made in accordance with Section 5.3(d) and (f). For the avoidance of doubt, a public statement that describes Magellan’s receipt of an Alternative Proposal and the operation of this Agreement with respect thereto shall not be deemed an Adverse Recommendation Change.
Section 5.4    Commercially Reasonable Efforts.
(a)    Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement (including Section 5.3 and Section 5.4(c)), each of Magellan and Tellurian shall cooperate with the other and use (and shall cause any of their respective Subsidiaries to use) its commercially reasonable efforts to (i) take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and do, or cause to be done, all things, necessary, proper or advisable to cause the conditions to the Closing to be satisfied as promptly as practicable (and in any event no later than the Outside Date) and

35



to consummate and make effective, in the most expeditious manner practicable, the transactions contemplated hereby, including preparing and filing promptly and fully all documentation to effect all necessary filings, notifications, notices, petitions, statements, registrations, submissions of information, applications and other documents (including any required or recommended filings under applicable Antitrust Laws), (ii) obtain promptly (and in any event no later than the Outside Date) all approvals, consents, clearances, expirations or terminations of waiting periods, registrations, permits, authorizations and other confirmations from any Governmental Authority or third party necessary, proper or advisable to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, (iii) defend any lawsuits or other Proceedings challenging this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and (iv) obtain all necessary consents, approvals or waivers from third parties. For purposes of this Agreement, “Antitrust Laws” means the Sherman Act, the Clayton Act, the HSR Act, the Federal Trade Commission Act, and all other applicable Laws issued by a Governmental Authority that are designed or intended to prohibit, restrict or regulate actions having the purpose or effect of monopolization or restraint of trade or lessening of competition.
(b)    In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, each of Magellan and Tellurian shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to (i) take all action necessary to ensure that no state takeover statute or similar applicable Law is or becomes applicable to any of the transactions contemplated hereby and (ii) if any state takeover statute or similar applicable Law becomes applicable to any of the transactions contemplated hereby, take all action necessary to ensure that such transaction may be consummated as promptly as practicable on the terms contemplated by this Agreement and otherwise minimize the effect of such applicable Law on the transaction.
(c)    Magellan and Tellurian (including by causing any of their respective Subsidiaries) agree to use their reasonable best efforts to (i) resolve any objections that a Governmental Authority or other Person may assert under any Antitrust Law with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby, and (ii) avoid or eliminate each and every impediment under any Antitrust Law that may be asserted by any Governmental Authority with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby, in each case, so as to enable the Closing to occur as promptly as practicable and in any event no later than the Outside Date.
(d)    On or prior to the fifth (5th) day prior to Closing, Magellan shall provide or make available to Tellurian or its Representatives (i) the organizational documents, including certificate of incorporation, bylaws, operating agreement, partnership agreement, shareholders agreement, or other document governing interests of Magellan in any Person set forth on Section 3.2(d) of the Magellan Disclosure Schedule, (ii) copies of the deeds and other recorded instruments by which Magellan and any of its Subsidiaries acquired real properties and interests set forth on Section 3.10 of the Magellan Disclosure Schedule, and (iii) a list of any Employee Benefits Plans sponsored or maintained with respect to Magellan’s current or former employees, managers, directors of other service providers which has not previously been set forth on Section 3.20 of the Magellan Disclosure Schedule.
Section 5.5    Public Announcements. The initial press release with respect to the execution of this Agreement shall be prepared by Magellan and shall not be issued without Tellurian’s consent, which will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Thereafter, no Party shall issue or cause the publication of any press release or other public announcement (except to the extent made in accordance with this Agreement)

36



with respect to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby without the prior consent of the other Parties (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), except as may be required by applicable Law or by any applicable Nasdaq rules as determined in the good faith judgment of such Party (provided that such Party uses reasonable best efforts to afford the other Parties an opportunity to first review the content of the proposed disclosure and provide reasonable comment regarding the same); provided, however, that Magellan shall not be required by this Section 5.5 to consult with any other Party with respect to a public announcement in connection with (i) the receipt and existence of an Alternative Proposal that the Magellan Board believes is bona fide, (ii) an Adverse Recommendation Change and (iii) matters related thereto, but nothing in this proviso shall limit any obligation of Magellan under Section 5.3(c) to advise and inform Tellurian; provided, further, that each Party and its respective Affiliates may make statements that are consistent with statements made in previous press releases, public disclosures or public statements made by Magellan or Tellurian in compliance with this Section 5.5.
Section 5.6    Access to Information; Confidentiality Agreement. Upon reasonable notice and subject to applicable Laws relating to the exchange of information, each Party shall, and shall cause any of its respective Subsidiaries to, afford to the other Parties and their Representatives reasonable access to, during normal business hours (and, with respect to books and records, the right to copy) all of its and any of its respective Subsidiaries’ properties, commitments, books, contracts, records and correspondence (in each case, whether in physical or electronic form), officers, employees, accountants, counsel, financial advisors and other Representatives. Except for disclosures permitted by the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement, each Party and its respective Representatives shall hold information received from any other Party pursuant to this Section 5.6 in confidence in accordance with the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement.
Section 5.7    Notification of Certain Matters. Magellan shall give prompt notice to Tellurian, and Tellurian shall give prompt notice to Magellan, of (a) any notice or other communication received by such Party from any Governmental Authority in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby or from any Person alleging that the consent of such Person is or may be required in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby if the subject matter of such communication or the failure of such Party to obtain such consent is reasonably likely to be material to Tellurian or Magellan, as applicable, (b) any Claim commenced or, to such Party’s Knowledge, threatened against, relating to or involving or otherwise affecting such Party or any of its Subsidiaries and that relate to the transactions contemplated hereby, (c) the discovery of any fact or circumstance that, or the occurrence or non-occurrence of any event the occurrence or non-occurrence of which, would result in the failure to be satisfied of any of the conditions to the Closing in ARTICLE VI and (d) any material failure of such Party to comply with or satisfy any covenant or agreement to be complied with or satisfied by it hereby which would result in the failure to be satisfied of any of the conditions to the Closing in ARTICLE VI; provided that, in the case of clauses (c) and (d), the failure to comply with this Section 5.7 shall not result in the failure to be satisfied of any of the conditions to the Closing in ARTICLE VI, or give rise to any right to terminate this Agreement under ARTICLE VII, if the underlying fact, circumstance, event or failure would not in and of itself give rise to such failure or right.



37



Section 5.8    Indemnification and Insurance.
(a)    Without limiting any other rights that any Indemnified Person may have pursuant to any employment agreement or indemnification agreement in effect on the date hereof or otherwise, each of which has been provided or made available to Tellurian prior to the date hereof, from the Effective Time and until the six-year anniversary of the Effective Time, Magellan and the Surviving Corporation shall, jointly and severally, indemnify, defend and hold harmless each Person who is now, or has been at any time prior to the date of this Agreement or who becomes prior to the Effective Time, a director, officer or employee of Magellan or any of its Subsidiaries or who acts as a fiduciary under any Magellan Benefit Plan or any of its Subsidiaries (the “Indemnified Persons”) against all losses, claims, damages, costs, fines, penalties, expenses (including attorneys’ and other professionals’ fees and expenses), liabilities or judgments or amounts that are paid in settlement, of or incurred in connection with any threatened or actual Proceeding to which such Indemnified Person is a party or is otherwise involved (including as a witness) based, in whole or in part, on or arising, in whole or in part, out of the fact that such Person is or was a director, officer or employee of Magellan or any of its Subsidiaries, a fiduciary under any Magellan Benefit Plan or is or was serving at the request of Magellan or any of its Subsidiaries as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, Magellan Benefit Plan, trust or other enterprise or by reason of anything done or not done by such Person in any such capacity, whether pertaining to any act or omission occurring or existing prior to, at or after the Effective Time and whether asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the Effective Time (“Indemnified Liabilities”), including all Indemnified Liabilities based in whole or in part on, or arising in whole or in part out of, or pertaining to, this Agreement or the Merger, other than to the extent such indemnification relates to a breach of this Agreement by Magellan or its Subsidiaries, in each case to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law (and Tellurian and the Surviving Corporation shall, jointly and severally, pay expenses incurred in connection therewith in advance of the final disposition of any such Proceeding to each Indemnified Person to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law). Without limiting the foregoing, in the event any such Proceeding is brought or threatened to be brought against any Indemnified Persons (whether arising before or after the Effective Time), (i) the Indemnified Persons may retain Magellan’s regularly engaged legal counsel or other counsel satisfactory to them, and Tellurian and the Surviving Corporation shall pay all reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel for the Indemnified Persons as promptly as statements therefor are received, and (ii) Tellurian and the Surviving Corporation shall use its best efforts to assist in the defense of any such matter. Any Indemnified Person wishing to claim indemnification or advancement of expenses under this Section 5.8, upon learning of any such Proceeding, shall notify the Surviving Corporation (but the failure so to notify shall not relieve a party from any obligations that it may have under this Section 5.8 except to the extent such failure materially prejudices such party’s position with respect to such claims). With respect to any determination of whether any Indemnified Person is entitled to indemnification by Magellan or Surviving Corporation under this Section 5.8, such Indemnified Person shall have the right, as contemplated by the DGCL, to require that such determination be made by special, independent legal counsel selected by the Indemnified Person and approved by Tellurian or the Surviving Corporation, as applicable (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), and who has not otherwise performed material services for Tellurian, Surviving Corporation or the Indemnified Person within the last three (3) years.

38



(b)    Prior to or within 90 days following the Closing Date, Magellan shall purchase “run-off” director and officer indemnification insurance to insure the existing officers and directors of Magellan for a period of six (6) years following the Closing Date in substantially the same amount as the director and officer indemnification insurance policy in existence as of the date of this Agreement.
(c)    The provisions of this Section 5.8 are intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, the Parties and each Person entitled to indemnification or insurance coverage or expense advancement pursuant to this Section 5.8, and its heirs and representatives.
Section 5.9    Fees and Expenses. All fees and expenses incurred in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby including all legal, accounting, financial advisory, consulting and all other fees and expenses of third parties incurred by a Party in connection with the negotiation and effectuation of the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, shall be the obligation of the respective Party incurring such fees and expenses.
Section 5.10    Section 16 Matters. Prior to the Closing Date, Magellan and Tellurian shall take all such steps as may be required (to the extent permitted under applicable Law) to cause any acquisitions of Magellan Stock resulting from the transactions contemplated by this Agreement by each individual who is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act, or will become subject to such reporting requirements with respect to Magellan, to be exempt under Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act.

ARTICLE VII
Termination
Section 7.1    Termination. This Agreement may be terminated and the transactions contemplated hereby abandoned at any time prior to the Closing:

41



(b)    by Magellan or Tellurian:
(i)    if the Closing shall not have been consummated on or before December 31, 2016 (the “Outside Date”); provided, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 7.1(b)(i) shall not be available to a Party if the inability to satisfy such condition was due to the failure of such Party to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement;
(ii)    if any Restraint having the effect set forth in Section 6.1(b) shall be in effect and shall have become final and nonappealable; provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 7.1(b)(ii) shall not be available to a Party if such Restraint was due to the failure of such Party to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement;

(ii)    if Magellan or Merger Sub shall have breached or failed to perform any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements set forth in this Agreement (or if any of the representations or warranties of Magellan and Merger Sub set forth in this Agreement shall fail to be true), which breach or failure (A) would (if it occurred or was continuing as of the Closing Date) give rise to the failure of a condition set forth in Section 6.3(a) or Section 6.3(b) and (B) is incapable of being cured, or is not cured, by Magellan or Merger Sub by the earlier of thirty (30) days following receipt of written notice from Tellurian of such breach or failure or the Outside Date; provided that Tellurian shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 7.1(c)(ii) if Tellurian is then in material breach of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement such as would result in any of the closing conditions set forth in Section 6.2(a) and Section 6.2(b) not being satisfied.

(i)    at any time prior to receipt of the Magellan Stockholder Approval, in order to enter into a binding written agreement with respect to a Superior Proposal, provided that Magellan shall have complied in all material respects with its obligations under Section 5.3; or
(ii)    if Tellurian shall have breached or failed to perform any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements set forth in this Agreement (or if any of the

42



representations or warranties of Tellurian set forth in this Agreement shall fail to be true), which breach or failure (A) would (if it occurred or was continuing as of the Closing Date) give rise to the failure of a condition set forth in Section 6.2(a) or Section 6.2(b) and (B) is incapable of being cured, or is not cured, by Tellurian, by the earlier of thirty (30) days following receipt of written notice from Magellan of such breach or failure or the Outside Date; provided that Magellan shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 7.1(d)(ii) if Magellan or Merger Sub is then in material breach of any of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in this Agreement such as would result in any of the closing conditions set forth in Section 6.3(a) and Section 6.3(b) not being satisfied.

43



that the condition set forth in Section 6.3(e) is met), then Tellurian shall pay to Magellan, within two (2) Business Days after the date of termination, the Reverse Termination Fee.
(d)    Any payment of the Termination Fee or the Reverse Termination Fee shall be made in cash by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by Tellurian or Magellan, respectively.

The Parties acknowledge that the provisions of this Section 7.3 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated hereby and that, without these agreements, they would not enter into this Agreement.
(f)    The Parties agree that in the event that (i) Magellan pays the Termination Fee to Tellurian or (ii) Tellurian pays the Reverse Termination Fee to Magellan, in each case the payor Party has no further liability to the payee Party of any kind in respect of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby; provided, however, that nothing in this Agreement shall release any Party from liability for Willful Breach or fraud), and in no event shall Magellan or Tellurian be required to pay the Termination Fee or Reverse Termination Fee on more than one occasion.

Each of the Parties hereby irrevocably submits with regard to any such action or Proceeding for itself and in respect of its or property, generally and unconditionally, to the personal jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts and agrees that it will not bring any action relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in any court other than the aforesaid courts. Each of the Parties hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert as a defense, counterclaim or otherwise, in any action or Proceeding with respect to this Agreement, (i) any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of the above-named courts for any reason other than the failure to serve in accordance with this Section 8.7, (ii) any claim that it or its property is exempt or immune from the jurisdiction of any such court or from any legal process commenced in such court (whether through service of notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution of judgment, execution of judgment or otherwise) and (iii) to the fullest extent permitted by the applicable Law, any claim that (x) the suit, action or Proceeding in such court is brought in an inconvenient forum, (y) the venue of such suit, action or Proceeding is improper or (z) this Agreement, or the subject matter hereof, may not be enforced in or by such courts.
(c)    EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THE ACTIONS OF ANY PARTY IN THE NEGOTIATION, ADMINISTRATION, PERFORMANCE AND ENFORCEMENT OF THIS AGREEMENT AND THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT.

(a)    The Parties hereby agree that irreparable damage would occur and that the Parties would not have any adequate remedy at law in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached, and it is accordingly agreed that the Parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and that the Parties shall be entitled to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement, in each case, in accordance with this Section 8.8 in Texas state or federal court in Harris County, Texas, this being in addition to any other remedy to which any Party is entitled at law or in equity. Each of the Parties agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, and each Party agrees that it will not oppose the granting of specific performance and other equitable relief as provided herein on the basis that (x) each Party has an adequate remedy at law or (y) an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or equity; provided, however, that the remedy provided hereunder is not available to Tellurian to remedy any action of Magellan in the proper exercise of its rights under Section 5.3. Each Party further agrees that no Party shall be required to obtain, furnish or post any bond or similar instrument in connection with or as a condition to obtaining any remedy referred to in this Section 8.8, and each Party irrevocably waives any right it may have to require the obtaining, furnishing or posting of any such bond or similar instrument.
