<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">On November&nbsp;25, 2013, Sabine Pass Liquefaction, LLC (&#147;SPL&#148;), a wholly owned subsidiary of Cheniere Energy Partners, L.P. (&#147;Cheniere
Partners&#148;), an indirect majority owned subsidiary of Cheniere Energy, Inc., closed the sale of $1.0&nbsp;billion aggregate principal amount of its 6.25% Senior Secured Notes due 2022 (the &#147;Notes&#148;) pursuant to the Purchase Agreement
dated November&nbsp;18, 2013 between SPL and Morgan Stanley&nbsp;&amp; Co. LLC, as representative of the initial purchasers named therein (the &#147;Initial Purchasers&#148;). The sale of the Notes was not registered under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended (the &#147;Securities Act&#148;), and the Notes were sold on a private placement basis in reliance on Section&nbsp;4(2) of the Securities Act and Rule&nbsp;144A and Regulation&nbsp;S thereunder. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>Indenture </I></B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Notes were issued on
November&nbsp;25, 2013 (the &#147;Issue Date&#148;) pursuant to the Indenture, dated as of February&nbsp;1, 2013 (the &#147;Base Indenture&#148;), by and among SPL, the guarantors that may become party thereto from time to time and The Bank of New
York Mellon, as Trustee (the &#147;Trustee&#148;), as supplemented by a third supplemental indenture, dated as of November&nbsp;25, 2013, between SPL and the Trustee, relating to the Notes (the &#147;Supplemental Indenture&#148;). The Base Indenture
as supplemented by the Supplemental Indenture is referred to herein as the &#147;Indenture.&#148; </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Under the terms of the Indenture, the Notes will mature
on March&nbsp;15, 2022 and will accrue interest at a rate equal to 6.25%&nbsp;per annum on the principal amount from November&nbsp;25, 2013, with such interest payable semi-annually, in cash in arrears, on March&nbsp;15 and September&nbsp;15 of each
year, beginning on March&nbsp;15, 2014. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Notes are senior secured obligations of SPL and rank senior in right of payment to any and all of SPL&#146;s
future indebtedness that is subordinated in right of payment to the Notes and equal in right of payment with all of SPL&#146;s existing and future indebtedness (including all loans under SPL&#146;s existing credit facilities and all of SPL&#146;s
outstanding senior secured notes) that is senior and secured by the same collateral securing the Notes. The Notes are effectively senior to all of SPL&#146;s senior indebtedness that is unsecured to the extent of the value of the assets constituting
the collateral securing the Notes. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">As of the Issue Date, the Notes were not guaranteed but will be guaranteed in the future by all of SPL&#146;s future
restricted subsidiaries. Such guarantees will be joint and several obligations of the guarantors of the Notes. The guarantees of the Notes will be senior secured obligations of the guarantors. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">At any time or from time to time prior to, December&nbsp;15, 2021, SPL may redeem all or a part of the Notes, at a redemption price equal to the
&#147;make-whole&#148; price set forth in the Indenture, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of redemption. SPL also may at any time on or after December&nbsp;15, 2021, redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, at a redemption price
equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of redemption. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Indenture
also contains customary terms and events of default and certain covenants that, among other things, limit SPL&#146;s ability and the ability of SPL&#146;s restricted subsidiaries to incur additional indebtedness or issue preferred stock, make
certain investments or pay dividends or distributions on capital stock or subordinated indebtedness or purchase, redeem or retire capital stock, sell or transfer assets, including capital stock of SPL&#146;s restricted subsidiaries, restrict
dividends or other payments by restricted subsidiaries, incur liens, enter into transactions with affiliates, consolidate, merge, sell or lease all or substantially all of SPL&#146;s assets and enter into certain LNG sales contracts. The Indenture
covenants are subject to a number of important limitations and exceptions. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">This description of the Indenture is qualified in its entirety by reference to
the Indenture, which is incorporated by reference herein. A copy of the Base Indenture was filed as Exhibit&nbsp;4.1 to the Current Report dated January&nbsp;29, 2013, filed by Cheniere Partners on

Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On November 25, 2013, Sabine Pass Liquefaction, LLC ("SPL"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Cheniere Energy Partners, L.P. ("Cheniere
Partners"), an indirect majority owned subsidiary of Cheniere Energy, Inc., closed the sale of $1.0 billion aggregate principal amount of its 6.25% Senior Secured Notes due 2022 (the "Notes") pursuant to the Purchase Agreement
dated November 18, 2013 between SPL and Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, as representative of the initial purchasers named therein (the "Initial Purchasers"). The sale of the Notes was not registered under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and the Notes were sold on a private placement basis in reliance on Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and Rule 144A and Regulation S thereunder.
Indenture
The Notes were issued on
November 25, 2013 (the "Issue Date") pursuant to the Indenture, dated as of February 1, 2013 (the "Base Indenture"), by and among SPL, the guarantors that may become party thereto from time to time and The Bank of New
York Mellon, as Trustee (the "Trustee"), as supplemented by a third supplemental indenture, dated as of November 25, 2013, between SPL and the Trustee, relating to the Notes (the "Supplemental Indenture"). The Base Indenture
as supplemented by the Supplemental Indenture is referred to herein as the "Indenture."
Under the terms of the Indenture, the Notes will mature
on March 15, 2022 and will accrue interest at a rate equal to 6.25% per annum on the principal amount from November 25, 2013, with such interest payable semi-annually, in cash in arrears, on March 15 and September 15 of each
year, beginning on March 15, 2014.
The Notes are senior secured obligations of SPL and rank senior in right of payment to any and all of SPL's
future indebtedness that is subordinated in right of payment to the Notes and equal in right of payment with all of SPL's existing and future indebtedness (including all loans under SPL's existing credit facilities and all of SPL's
outstanding senior secured notes) that is senior and secured by the same collateral securing the Notes. The Notes are effectively senior to all of SPL's senior indebtedness that is unsecured to the extent of the value of the assets constituting
the collateral securing the Notes.
As of the Issue Date, the Notes were not guaranteed but will be guaranteed in the future by all of SPL's future
restricted subsidiaries. Such guarantees will be joint and several obligations of the guarantors of the Notes. The guarantees of the Notes will be senior secured obligations of the guarantors.
At any time or from time to time prior to, December 15, 2021, SPL may redeem all or a part of the Notes, at a redemption price equal to the
"make-whole" price set forth in the Indenture, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of redemption. SPL also may at any time on or after December 15, 2021, redeem the Notes, in whole or in part, at a redemption price
equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of redemption.
The Indenture
also contains customary terms and events of default and certain covenants that, among other things, limit SPL's ability and the ability of SPL's restricted subsidiaries to incur additional indebtedness or issue preferred stock, make
certain investments or pay dividends or distributions on capital stock or subordinated indebtedness or purchase, redeem or retire capital stock, sell or transfer assets, including capital stock of SPL's restricted subsidiaries, restrict
dividends or other payments by restricted subsidiaries, incur liens, enter into transactions with affiliates, consolidate, merge, sell or lease all or substantially all of SPL's assets and enter into certain LNG sales contracts. The Indenture
covenants are subject to a number of important limitations and exceptions.
This description of the Indenture is qualified in its entirety by reference to
the Indenture, which is incorporated by reference herein. A copy of the Base Indenture was filed as Exhibit 4.1 to the Current Report dated January 29, 2013, filed by Cheniere Partners on
Form 8-K.
A copy of the Supplemental Indenture is filed herewith as Exhibits 4.1.
Registration
Rights Agreement
In connection with the closing of the sale of the Notes, SPL and Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, as representative of the
Initial Purchasers, entered into a Registration Rights Agreement, dated November 25, 2013 (the "Registration Rights Agreement"). Under the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement, SPL has agreed, and any future guarantors of
2
the Notes will agree, to use commercially reasonable efforts to file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and cause to become effective a registration statement with respect to an
offer to exchange any and all of the Notes for a like aggregate principal amount of debt securities of SPL issued under the Indenture and identical in all material respects to the Notes sought to be exchanged (other than with respect to restrictions
on transfer or to any increase in annual interest rate), and that are registered under the Securities Act. SPL has agreed, and any future guarantors of the Notes will agree, to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement
to become effective within 360 days after the Issue Date. Under specified circumstances, SPL has also agreed, and any future guarantors will also agree, to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause to become effective a shelf registration
statement relating to resales of the Notes. SPL will be obligated to pay additional interest if it fails to comply with its obligations to register the Notes within the specified time periods.
This description of the Registration Rights Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Registration Rights Agreement, a copy of which is filed
as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and is incorporated by reference herein.
