The prior recordation of the Mortgage (as defined in the Common Terms Agreement) and the prior filing of the UCC-1 financing statements in connection with the Security Documents (as defined in the Common Terms Agreement, the “Security Documents”), with the priority created thereby are sufficient to perfect by such recordation or filing in each jurisdiction where required to perfect the lien and security interest in personal property and fixtures described therein, and it is not necessary to make any new filings or take any other action to perfect, or to maintain the perfection, of such liens and security interests.

(ss) As of the Closing Date, except with respect to Permitted Liens (as defined in the Indenture), there will be no Lien (as defined in the Indenture) on any assets or property of the Company securing Indebtedness (as defined in the Indenture).

(tt) Each of the Financing Documents (as defined in the Common Terms Agreement, the “Financing Documents”) is in full force and effect and constitutes a valid and binding obligation of the Company. Except as disclosed in the General Disclosure Package, the Company is not in material breach, violation or default thereof, and no event has occurred which with notice or lapse of time or both would constitute a material breach, violation or default by the Company or permit termination, modification or acceleration, under the Financing Documents.

3. Purchase, Sale and Delivery of Notes. On the basis of the representations, warranties and agreements and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Company agrees to sell to each of the Purchasers, and each of the Purchasers agrees, severally and not jointly, to purchase from the Company, at a purchase price of 98.85% of the principal amount of the Notes, plus interest from and including February 1, 2013 to but excluding the Closing Date (as hereinafter defined), the respective principal amounts of the Notes set forth opposite the names of the several Purchasers in Schedule A hereto.

The Regulation S Global Securities and the Restricted Global Securities shall be assigned separate CUSIP numbers.

Interests in any permanent global securities will be held only in book-entry form through Euroclear, Clearstream, Luxembourg or DTC, as the case may be, except in the limited circumstances described in the Final Offering Circular.

Payment for the Regulation S Securities and the 144A Securities shall be made by the Purchasers in Federal (same day) funds by wire transfer to an account at a bank acceptable to the Representative drawn to the order of the Company at the office of Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP, 4 Times Square, New York, New York 10036, at 9:00 a.m. (Eastern time), on February 1, 2013, or at such other time not later than five (5) full business days thereafter as the Representative and the Company determine, such time being herein referred to as the “Closing Date,” against delivery to the Trustee as custodian for DTC of (i) the Regulation S Global Securities representing all of the Regulation S Securities for the respective accounts of the DTC participants for Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg and (ii) the Restricted Global

Each Purchaser severally represents and agrees that it has offered and sold the Notes, and will offer and sell the Notes, (i) as part of its distribution at any time and (ii) otherwise until 40 days after the later of the commencement of the offering and the Closing Date, only in accordance with Rule 903 of the Securities Act or Rule 144A. Accordingly, neither such Purchaser nor its affiliates, nor any persons acting on its or their behalf, have engaged or will engage in any directed selling efforts with respect to the Notes, and such Purchaser, its affiliates and all persons acting on its or their behalf have complied and will comply with the offering restrictions requirement of Regulation S. Each Purchaser severally agrees that, at or prior to confirmation of sale of the Notes, other than a sale pursuant to Rule 144A, such Purchaser will have sent to each distributor, dealer or person receiving a selling concession, fee or other remuneration that purchases the Notes from it during the restricted period a confirmation or notice to substantially the following effect:

Terms used above have the meanings given to them by Regulation S.”

Terms used in this subsection (b) have the meanings given to them by Regulation S.

(c) Each Purchaser severally agrees that it and each of its affiliates have not entered and will not enter into any contractual arrangement with respect to the distribution of the Notes except for any such arrangements with the other Purchasers or affiliates of it or the other Purchasers or with the prior written consent of the Company.

(d) Each Purchaser severally agrees that it and each of its affiliates will not offer or sell the Notes in the United States by means of any form of general solicitation or general advertising within the meaning of Rule 502(c) of Regulation D under the Securities Act involving a public offering within the meaning of Section 4(a)(2), including, but not limited to, (i) any advertisement, article, notice or other communication published in any newspaper, magazine or similar media or broadcast over television or radio, or (ii) any seminar or meeting whose attendees have been invited by any general solicitation or general advertising. Each Purchaser severally agrees, with respect to resales made in reliance on Rule 144A of any of the Notes, to deliver either with the confirmation of such resale or otherwise prior to settlement of such resale a notice to the effect that the resale of such Notes has been made in reliance upon the exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act provided by Rule 144A.

(e) In relation to each Member State of the European Economic Area which has implemented the Prospectus Directive (each, a “Relevant Member State”), each Purchaser represents and agrees that with effect from and including the date on which the Prospectus Directive is implemented in that Relevant Member State (the “Relevant Implementation Date”) it has not made and will not make an offer of the Notes to the public in that Relevant Member State prior to the publication of a prospectus in relation to the Notes which has been approved by the competent authority in that Relevant Member State or, where appropriate, approved in another Relevant Member State and notified to the competent authority in that Relevant Member State, all in accordance with the Prospectus Directive, except that it may, with effect from and including the Relevant Implementation Date, make an offer of the Notes to the public in that Relevant Member State at any time:

For the purposes of this provision, the expression an “offer of the Notes to the public” in relation to any Notes in any Relevant Member State means the communication in any form and by any means of sufficient information on the terms of the offer and the securities to be offered so as to enable an investor to decide to purchase or subscribe the Notes, as the same may be varied in that Member State by any measure implementing the Prospectus Directive in that Member State, the expression Prospectus Directive means Directive 2003/71/EC (and amendments thereto, including the 2010 PD Amending Directive, to the extent implemented in the Relevant Member State) and includes any relevant implementing measure in each Relevant Member State and the expression “2010 PD Amending Directive” means Directive 2010/73/EU.

(f) Each of the Purchasers severally represents, warrants and agrees as follows:

(i) it has only communicated or caused to be communicated and will only communicate or cause to be communicated an invitation or inducement to engage in investment activity (within the meaning of section 21 of FSMA) to persons who have professional experience in matters relating to investments falling within Article 19(5) of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (Financial Promotion) Order 2005 or in circumstances in which section 21 of FSMA does not apply to the Company; and

(ii) it has complied with, and will comply with all applicable provisions of FSMA with respect to anything done by it in relation to the Notes in, from or otherwise involving the United Kingdom.

5. Certain Agreements of the Company. The Company agrees with the Purchasers that:

(a) The Company will promptly advise the Representative of any proposal to amend or supplement the Preliminary Offering Circular, the Final Offering Circular, the General Disclosure Package or any Supplemental Marketing Material and will not effect such amendment or supplement without the Representative’s consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld. If, at any time prior to the completion of the resale of the Notes by the Purchasers, there occurs an event or development as a result of which any document included in the Preliminary Offering Circular or the Final Offering Circular, the General Disclosure Package or any Supplemental Marketing Material, if republished immediately following such event or development, included or would include an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or would omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, the Company promptly will notify the Representative of such event and promptly will prepare and furnish, at its own expense, to the Purchasers and the dealers and to any other dealers at the request of the Representative, an amendment or supplement which will correct such statement or omission. Neither the Representative’s consent to, nor the Purchasers’ delivery to offerees or investors of, any such amendment or supplement shall constitute a waiver of any of the conditions set forth in Section 6. The second sentence of this subsection does not apply to statements in or omissions from any document in the Preliminary Offering Circular or Final Offering Circular, the General Disclosure Package or any Supplemental Marketing Material made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by the Purchasers specifically for use therein, it being understood and agreed that the only such information is that described as such in Section 8(b) hereof.

(b) The Company will furnish to the Representative copies of the Preliminary Offering Circular, each other document comprising a part of the General Disclosure Package, the Final Offering Circular, all amendments and supplements to such documents and each item of Supplemental Marketing Material, in each case as soon as available and in such quantities as the Representative reasonably requests. At any time when the Company is not subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, the Company will promptly furnish or cause to be furnished to the Representative and, upon request, to each of the other Purchasers and, upon request of holders and prospective purchasers of the Notes, to such holders and purchasers, copies of the information required to be delivered to holders and prospective purchasers of the Notes pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act (or any successor provision thereto) in order to permit compliance with Rule 144A in connection with resales by such holders of the Notes. The Company will pay the expenses of printing and distributing to the Purchasers all such documents.

(c) The Company will arrange for the qualification of the Notes for sale and the determination of their eligibility for investment under the laws of such jurisdictions in the United States and Canada as the Representative designates and will continue such qualifications in effect so long as required for the resale of the Notes by the Purchasers, provided that the Company will not be required to qualify as a foreign limited liability company or to file a general consent to service of process in any such jurisdiction or to take any action that would subject itself to taxation based on income or revenues in any such jurisdiction where it is not currently subject to taxation.

(d) During the period of one year after the Closing Date, the Company will furnish to the Representative and, upon request, to each of the other Purchasers, as soon as practicable after the end of each fiscal year, a copy of the Company’s annual report for such year; and the Company will furnish to the Representative and, upon request, to each of the other Purchasers as soon as available, a copy of each report and any definitive proxy statement of the Company and of any Guarantor that is a reporting company filed with the Commission under the Exchange Act or mailed to unitholders. However, so long as the Company timely files reports with the Commission on its Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval system (“EDGAR”) as if the Company were subject to the reporting requirements of either Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act, it is not required to furnish such reports or statements to the Purchasers.

(f) During the period of one year after the Closing Date, the Company will not, and will not permit any of its affiliates (as defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act) to, resell any of the Notes that have been reacquired by any of them. Neither the Company nor any affiliate will sell, offer for sale or solicit offers to buy or otherwise negotiate in respect of any security (as defined in the Securities Act) that would be integrated with the sale of the Notes in a manner that would require the registration under the Securities Act of (i) the sale of the Notes by the Company to the Purchasers, (ii) the resale of the Notes by the Purchasers to any subsequent purchasers or (iii) the resale of the Notes by such subsequent purchasers to others.

(g) During the period of one year after the Closing Date, the Company will not be or become, an open-end investment company, unit investment trust or face-amount certificate company that is or is required to be registered under Section 8 of the Investment Company Act.

the fees, disbursements and expenses of the Company’s counsel, Company’s accountants and any other advisors to the Company; (iii) all filing costs and expenses relating to the perfection of security interests in the Collateral, as set forth in the Security Documents; (iv) the cost of any advertising approved by the Company in connection with the issue of the Notes; (v) any expenses (including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel to the Purchasers) incurred in connection with qualification of the Notes for sale under the laws of such jurisdictions in the United States and Canada as the Representative designates and the preparation and printing of memoranda relating thereto; (vi) any fees charged by investment rating agencies for the rating of the Notes; (vii) all fees, disbursements and expenses of the Independent Engineer, Market Consultant and Insurance Consultant, and any other third-party consultants who have prepared reports, attached as annexes to the General Disclosure Package and Final Offering Circular or otherwise, in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; (viii) expenses incurred in distributing the Preliminary Offering Circular, any other documents comprising any part of the General Disclosure Package, the Final Offering Circular (including any amendments and supplements thereto) and any Supplemental Marketing Material to the Purchasers; (ix) all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses (other than the fees, expenses and disbursements of counsel to the Purchasers) incurred by the Representative in connection with the transactions contemplated in this Agreement; and (x) all other reasonable and documented costs and expenses incident to the performance of the obligations of the Company hereunder for which provision is not otherwise made in this Section.

(k) The Company will use the net proceeds received in connection with the offering of the Notes in the manner described in the “Use of Proceeds” section of the General Disclosure Package.

(l) In connection with the offering of the Notes, until the Representative shall have notified the Company of the completion of the resale of the Notes, neither the Company nor any of its affiliates will, either alone or with one or more other persons, bid for or purchase for any account in which it or any of its affiliates has a beneficial interest any Notes or attempt to induce any person to purchase any Notes; and neither it nor any of its affiliates will make bids or purchases for the purpose of creating actual, or apparent, active trading in, or of raising the price of, the Notes.

(m) Until the Closing Date, the Company will not, directly or indirectly, take any of the following actions with respect to any United States dollar-denominated debt securities issued or guaranteed by the Company and having a maturity of more than one year from the date of issue or any securities convertible or exchangeable or exercisable for any such securities (“Lock-Up Securities”): (i) offer, sell, issue, contract to sell, pledge or otherwise dispose of Lock-Up Securities, (ii) offer, sell, issue, contract to sell, contract to purchase or grant any option, right or warrant to purchase Lock-Up Securities, (iii) enter into any swap, hedge or any other agreement that transfers, in whole or in part, the economic consequences of ownership of Lock-Up Securities; (iv) establish or increase a put equivalent position or liquidate or decrease a call equivalent position in Lock-Up Securities within the meaning of Section 16 of the Exchange Act or (v) file with the Commission a registration statement under the Securities Act relating to Lock-Up Securities or publicly disclose the intention to take any such action (other than as contemplated by this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement), without the prior written consent of Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC. The Company will not at any time directly or indirectly, take any action referred to in clauses (i) through (v) above with respect to any securities under circumstances where such offer, sale, pledge, contract or disposition would cause the exemption afforded by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act or the safe harbor of Regulation S thereunder to cease to be applicable to the offer and sale of the Notes.

6. Free Writing Communications.

(a) The Company represents and agrees that, unless it obtains the prior consent of the Representative, and each Purchaser represents and agrees that, unless it obtains the prior consent of the Company and Representative, it has not made and will not make any offer relating to the Notes that would constitute an Issuer Free Writing Communication.

liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Preliminary Offering Circular or the Final Offering Circular, in each case as amended or supplemented, or any Issuer Free Writing Communication (including without limitation, any Supplemental Marketing Material), or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission of a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and will reimburse each Indemnified Party for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with investigating, preparing or defending against any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action as such expenses are incurred; provided, however, that the Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement in or omission or alleged omission from any of such documents in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by any Purchaser specifically for use therein, it being understood and agreed that the only such information consists of the information described as such in subsection (b) below.

(b) Each Purchaser will severally and not jointly indemnify and hold harmless each of the Company, its directors, its respective officers and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act (each, a “Purchaser Indemnified Party”), against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which such Purchaser Indemnified Party may become subject, under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Preliminary Offering Circular or the Final Offering Circular, in each case as amended or supplemented, or any Issuer Free Writing Communication or arise out of or are based upon the omission or the alleged omission of a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such Purchaser specifically for use therein, and will reimburse any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Purchaser Indemnified Party in connection with investigating, preparing or defending against any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action as such expenses are incurred, it being understood and agreed that the only such information furnished by any Purchaser consists of the following information in the Preliminary Offering Circular and the Final Offering Circular: the names of the Purchasers on the cover page and under the heading “Plan of Distribution;” the information in (i) the first sentence of the third paragraph, (ii) the first, second, third, fourth, fifth, eighth and ninth sentences of the seventh paragraph, (iii) the third sentence of the eighth paragraph; (iv) the third, seventh and ninth sentences of the ninth paragraph; (v) the following language from the sixth sentence of the ninth paragraph: “and certain of those initial purchasers or their affiliates that have a lending relationship with us, CQP or Cheniere routinely hedge, and certain other of those initial purchasers or their affiliates may hedge, their credit exposure to us, CQP or Cheniere consistent with their customary risk management policies”; and (vi) the first sentence of the tenth paragraph, under the heading “Plan of Distribution;” provided, however, that the Purchasers shall not be liable for any losses, claims, damages or liabilities arising out of or based upon the Company’s failure to perform its obligations under Section 5(a) of this Agreement.

(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under subsection (a) or (b) above, notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof; but the failure to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability that it may have under subsection (a) or (b) above except to the extent that it has been materially prejudiced (through the forfeiture of substantive rights or defenses) by such failure; and provided further that the failure to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve

it from any liability that it may have to an indemnified party otherwise than under subsection (a) or (b) above. In case any such action is brought against any indemnified party and it notifies the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it may wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party (who shall not, except with the consent of the indemnified party, be counsel to the indemnifying party), and after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party under this Section for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation. In any such proceeding, Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC shall have the right to retain counsel to represent jointly the Purchasers, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Purchasers unless (i) the Company and the Purchasers shall have mutually agreed to the retention of such counsel, (ii) the Company has failed within a reasonable time to retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Purchasers, (iii) the Purchasers shall have reasonably concluded and have been advised by counsel that there may be legal defenses available to them that are different from or in addition to those available to the Company, or (iv) the named parties to any such proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both the Company and the Purchasers and representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them. Such firm shall be designated in writing by Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, in the case of parties indemnified pursuant to Section 8(a), and by the Company, in the case of parties indemnified pursuant to Section 8(b). No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened action in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party unless such settlement (i) includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on any claims that are the subject matter of such action and (ii) does not include a statement as to, or an admission of, fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of an indemnified party.

(d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under subsection (a) or (b) above, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to in subsection (a) or (b) above (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Purchasers on the other from the offering of the Notes or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Company on the one hand and the Purchasers on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and the Purchasers on the other shall be deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses) received by the Company from the sale of the Notes, on the one hand, bear to the total discounts and commissions received by the Purchasers from the Company under this Agreement, on the other hand. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or the Purchasers and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement or omission. The amount paid by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to in the first sentence of this subsection (d) shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any action or claim which is the subject of this subsection (d). Notwithstanding the provisions of this subsection (d), no Purchaser shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by

which the total price at which the Notes purchased by it were resold exceeds the amount of any damages which such Purchaser has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The Purchasers’ obligations in this subsection (d) to contribute are several in proportion to their respective purchase obligations and not joint. The Company and the Purchasers agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 8(d) were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Purchasers were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in this Section 8(d).

(e) The obligations of the Company under this Section shall be in addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each person, if any, who controls any Purchaser within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act; and the obligations of the Purchasers under this Section shall be in addition to any liability which the Purchasers may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act.

(f) The indemnity and contribution provisions contained in this Section and the representations, warranties and other statements of the Company contained in this Agreement shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of (i) any termination of this Agreement, (ii) any investigation made by or on behalf of any Purchaser, any person controlling any Purchaser or any affiliate of any Purchaser or by or on behalf of the Company, its officers or directors or any person controlling the Company and (iii) acceptance of and payment for any of the Notes.

9. Termination. The Representative may terminate this Agreement by notice given by you to the Company, if after the execution and delivery of this Agreement and prior to the Closing Date (i) trading generally shall have been suspended or materially limited on, or by, as the case may be, any of the New York Stock Exchange, (ii) trading of any securities of the Company shall have been suspended on any exchange or in any over the counter market, (iii) a material disruption in securities settlement, payment or clearance services in the United States shall have occurred, (iv) any moratorium on commercial banking activities shall have been declared by Federal or New York State authorities or (v) any attack on, outbreak or escalation of hostilities or act of terrorism involving the United States, any declaration of war by Congress or any other national or international calamity or emergency such that, in each case, in the reasonable judgment of the Representative, makes it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the offer, sale or delivery of the Notes on the terms and in the manner contemplated in the General Disclosure Package or the Final Offering Circular.

10. Default of Purchasers. If any Purchaser or Purchasers default in their obligations to purchase Notes hereunder on the Closing Date and the aggregate principal amount of the Notes that such defaulting Purchaser or Purchasers agreed but failed to purchase does not exceed 10% of the total principal amount of the Notes, the Representative may make arrangements satisfactory to the Company for the purchase of such Notes by other persons, including any of the Purchasers, but if no such arrangements are made by such Closing Date, the non-defaulting Purchasers shall be obligated severally, in proportion to their respective commitments hereunder, to purchase the Notes that such defaulting Purchasers agreed but failed to purchase on the Closing Date. If any Purchaser or Purchasers so default and the aggregate principal amount of Notes with respect to which such default or defaults occur exceeds 10% of the total principal amount of the Notes that Purchasers are required to purchase on the Closing Date and arrangements satisfactory to the Representative and the Company for the purchase of such Notes by other persons are not made within 36 hours after such default, this Agreement will terminate without liability on the part of any non-defaulting Purchaser or the Company, except as provided in Section 10. As used in this Agreement, the term “Purchaser” includes any person substituted for a Purchaser under this Section. Nothing herein will relieve a defaulting Purchaser from liability for its default.

11. Survival of Certain Representations and Obligations. The indemnities, agreements, representations, warranties and other statements of the Company or its officers and of the Purchasers set forth in or made pursuant to this Agreement will remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation, or statement as to the results thereof, made by or on behalf of any Purchaser, the Company or any of their respective representatives, officers or directors or any controlling person, and will survive delivery of and payment for the Notes. If the Company shall, in its sole discretion, fail or refuse to sell the Notes to the Purchasers, the Company will reimburse the Representative for all out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel) reasonably incurred by it pursuant to the terms of this Agreement in connection with the offering of the Notes.

12. Notices. All communications hereunder will be in writing and, if sent to the Purchasers will be mailed, delivered or telegraphed and confirmed to the Representative, c/o Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, 1585 Broadway, New York, New York 10036, Attention: High Yield Syndicate Desk, or, if sent to the Company, will be mailed, delivered or telegraphed and confirmed to it at Sabine Pass Liquefaction, LLC, 700 Milam Street, Suite 800, Houston, Texas 77002, Attention: Chief Financial Officer; provided, however, that any notice to a Purchaser pursuant to Section 8 will be mailed, delivered or telegraphed and confirmed to such Purchaser.

13. Successors. This Agreement will inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and the officers and directors and controlling persons referred to in Section 8, and no other person will have any right or obligation hereunder, except that holders of Notes shall be entitled to enforce the agreements for their benefit contained in the second and third sentences of Section 5(b) hereof against the Company as if such holders were parties thereto.

14. Representation of Purchasers. You will act for the several Purchasers in connection with the transaction contemplated by this Agreement, and any action under this Agreement taken by the Representative will be binding upon all the Purchasers.

15. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute one and the same Agreement.

16. Absence of Fiduciary Relationship. The Company acknowledges and agrees that:

(a) The Representative has been retained solely to act as initial purchaser in connection with the initial purchase, offering and resale of the Notes and that no fiduciary, advisory or agency relationship between the Company and the Representative has been created in respect of any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Preliminary Offering Circular or the Final Offering Circular, irrespective of whether the Representative has advised or is advising the Company on other matters;

(b) The purchase price of the Notes set forth in this Agreement was established by the Company following discussions and arms-length negotiations with the Representative and the Company, and the Company is capable of evaluating and understanding and understands and accepts the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement;

(c) The Company has been advised that the Representative and its affiliates are engaged in a broad range of transactions which may involve interests that differ from those of the Company and that the Representative has no obligation to disclose such interests and transactions to the Company by virtue of any fiduciary, advisory or agency relationship; and

(d) The Company waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any claims it may have against the Representative for breach of fiduciary duty or alleged breach of fiduciary duty arising out of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and agrees that the Representative shall have no liability (whether direct or indirect) to the Company in respect of such a fiduciary duty claim or to any person asserting such fiduciary duty claim on behalf of or in right of the Company, including stockholders, employees or creditors of the Company.

17. Partial Unenforceability. The invalidity or unenforceability of any section, paragraph or provision of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other section, paragraph or provision hereof. If any section, paragraph or provision of this Agreement is for any reason determined to be invalid or unenforceable, there shall be deemed to be made such minor changes (and only such minor changes) as are necessary to make it valid and enforceable.

18. Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with any contemporaneous written agreements and any prior written agreements (to the extent not superseded by this Agreement) that relate to the offering of the Notes, represents the entire agreement between the Company and the Purchasers with respect to the preparation of the Preliminary Offering Circular, the General Disclosure Package, the Final Offering Circular, the conduct of the offering, and the purchase and sale of the Notes. This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements and understandings (whether written or oral) between the Company and the Purchasers, or any of them, with respect to the subject matter hereof.

19. Applicable Law. This Agreement and any claim, controversy or dispute occurring under or related to this Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.

20. Submission to Jurisdiction. The Company hereby submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Federal and state courts in the Borough of Manhattan in The City of New York in any suit or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. Any legal suit, action or proceeding arising out of or based upon this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby (“Related Proceedings”) may be instituted in the federal courts of the United States of America located in the City and County of New York or the courts of the State of New York in each case located in the City and County of New York (collectively, the “Specified Courts”), and each party irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction (except for suits, actions, or proceedings instituted in regard to the enforcement of a judgment of any Specified Court in a Related Proceeding (a “Related Judgment”), as to which such jurisdiction is non-exclusive) of the Specified Courts in any Related Proceeding. Service of any process, summons, notice or document by mail to such party’s address set forth above shall be effective service of process for any Related Proceeding brought in any Specified Court. The parties irrevocably and unconditionally waive any objection to the laying of venue of any Specified Proceeding in the Specified Courts and irrevocably and unconditionally waive and agree not to plead or claim in any Specified Court that any Related Proceeding brought in any Specified Court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

If the foregoing is in accordance with the Representative’s understanding of our agreement, kindly sign and return to us one of the counterparts hereof, whereupon it will become a binding agreement between the Company and the several Purchasers in accordance with its terms.

Description of Notes:

•

“Covenants Applicable to the Notes – Restrictions on Indebtedness”. Under the Preliminary Offering Memorandum, one of the conditions to the incurrence of Expansion Debt is that no material default exists under the Train Three and Train Four LNG Sales Agreement or Train Five and Train Six LNG Sales Agreement, as applicable. In the Final Offering Memorandum, this condition will be changed to no material payment default and no default that results in a material non-payment by the counterparty to the applicable Facility LNG Sale and Purchase Agreement.

•

“Common Terms Agreement, Intercreditor Agreement and Security Agency Agreement – Modifications – Majority Decisions”. The Final Offering Memorandum will require the Indenture Trustee to vote in favor of certain Covered Actions when there is no Aggregate Secured Bank Debt outstanding, “without the requirement of any vote or consent by the noteholders (nor shall the [Indenture Trustee] seek noteholder consent or direction) to the extent that any such Covered Action causes the provisions of the Finance Documents that are being amended to be no less restrictive on [the Issuer] than the [I]ndenture, as set forth in an officer’s certificate from [the Issuer]”.

•

“Certain Definitions – “Default Contract””. The Final Offering Memorandum will provide that the Train Three and Train Four EPC Contract will only constitute a “Default Contract” “if [the Issuer] incurs Expansion Debt in respect of Train Three and Train Four pursuant to clause (a) of the definition of Permitted Indebtedness”.

•

“Events of Default and Remedies – Events of Default”. The Final Offering Memorandum will provide that a Bankruptcy of the EPC Contractor or Bechtel Global Energy, Inc. prior to “final completion” under the Train Three and Train Four EPC Contract shall only trigger an Event of Default under the Indenture “if [the Issuer] incurs Expansion Debt in respect of Train Three and Train Four pursuant to clause (a) of the definition of Permitted Indebtedness”.

The following replaces the section titled “Use of Proceeds” in the Offering Memorandum.

USE OF PROCEEDS

We estimate that the net proceeds to us from this offering will be approximately $1,466 million, after deducting the initial purchasers’ commissions and estimated fees and expenses. We intend to use the net proceeds from this offering to pay capital costs in connection with the construction of Train 1 and Train 2 and pay fees and expenses incurred in connection with this offering.

The following replaces the section titled “Capitalization” in the Offering Memorandum.

CAPITALIZATION

The following table sets forth our capitalization as of September 30, 2012:

(3)

On July 31, 2012, we entered into the Term Loan A Credit Agreement. The Term Loan A Credit Agreement is a construction/term loan facility in an amount up to $3.626 billion available to us in four tranches solely to fund project costs, the related debt service reserve account up to an amount equal to six months of scheduled debt service and the return of equity and affiliate subordinated debt funding to Cheniere or its affiliates up to an amount that will result in senior debt being no more than 65% of the total capitalization. Upon our sale of the notes, the Term Loan A Credit Agreement commitments, in an amount equal to the proceeds from the sale of the notes less certain fees and expenses allowed pursuant to the Common Terms Agreement, will be suspended and extended until December 31, 2013 unless expansion debt shall have been approved prior to such date under the provisions of the Common Terms Agreement. Subject to our lenders’ approval, we currently intend to use such suspended commitments to finance the construction of Train 3 and Train 4. See “Description of Principal Project Documents”.

FORM OF OPINION OF OTTINGER HEBERT, L.L.C.

1. Neither (a) the execution and delivery by the Issuer of the Closing Date Documents, nor (b) the incurrence or performance by each Opinion Party of its obligations under each of the Louisiana Documents to which it is a party, violates any Applicable Law of the State of Louisiana.

2. Neither (a) the execution and delivery by the Issuer of the Closing Date Documents, nor (b) the incurrence or performance by each Opinion Party of its obligations under each of the Louisiana Documents to which it is a party requires the consent, approval, licensing, or authorization of, or any filing, recording or registration with any governmental authority under the applicable laws of the State of Louisiana except for those consents, approvals, licenses, authorizations filings, recordings and registrations which have already been obtained or made.

3. Each of the Notarial Assignment and the Mortgage constitute the valid and binding obligation of the Opinion Party signatory thereto, enforceable against such party in accordance with its terms under the laws of the State of Louisiana except as the enforceability thereof may be limited or affected by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, liquidation, arrangement, respite, fraudulent or preferential conveyance, moratorium or other similar laws relating to the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).

4. The Mortgage is in the proper form required (and has been received and accepted) for filing in the office of the Clerk of Court and Ex-Officio Recorder of Mortgages for Cameron Parish, Louisiana. The due recordation of the Mortgage with such office created, as security for the payment and performance of the Obligations, a valid and perfected lien of record on the immovable property validly described therein to the extent owned by Mortgagor therein on the date of such recordation. We express no opinion as to the enforceability of the Mortgage by way of executory process.
