Cheniere Energy Partners, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “Company”), agrees with the initial purchasers named in Schedule A hereto (the “Purchasers”) subject to the terms and conditions stated herein, to issue and sell to the Purchasers in the aggregate $1,500,000,000 principal amount of its 4.500% Senior Notes due 2029 (the “Notes”). The Notes shall be issued under the indenture dated as of September 18, 2017 (the “Base Indenture”), among the Company, the Guarantors (as defined herein) and The Bank of New York Mellon, as Trustee (the “Trustee”), as supplemented by a third supplemental indenture that will be dated as of September 12, 2019, relating to the Notes (the “Third Supplemental Indenture”, and together with the Base Indenture, the “Indenture”).

The payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes will be fully and unconditionally guaranteed in accordance with the guarantee terms set forth in the Indenture by (i) Cheniere Energy Investments, LLC (“Cheniere Energy Investments”), Sabine Pass LNG-GP, LLC (“SPLNG GP”), Sabine Pass LNG, L.P.

The Notes and the Guarantees attached thereto are herein collectively referred to as the “Securities”.

The holders of the Securities will be entitled to the benefits of a registration rights agreement, dated as of the Closing Date (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), among the Company, the Guarantors and the Purchasers, pursuant to which the Company and the Guarantors agree to file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) registering the exchange of registered securities for the Securities or resale of the Securities under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) with terms substantially identical to the Securities (the “Exchange Notes” which, along with the Guarantees related thereto, are herein collectively referred to as the “Exchange Securities”).

A preliminary offering memorandum, dated September 9, 2019, including the documents incorporated by reference therein (the “Preliminary Offering Memorandum”) relating to the Securities to

be offered by the Purchasers, and a final offering memorandum, including the documents incorporated by reference therein (the “Final Offering Memorandum”) disclosing the offering price and other final terms of the Securities and dated as of the date of this Agreement (even if finalized and issued subsequent to the date of this Agreement) have been or will be prepared by the Company. “General Disclosure Package” means the Preliminary Offering Memorandum, together with any Issuer Free Writing Communication (as hereinafter defined) as set forth in Schedule B to this Agreement and existing at the Applicable Time (as hereinafter defined) as well as the information in it which is intended for general distribution to prospective investors, including, for the avoidance of doubt, the term sheet listing the final terms of the Securities and their offering, included as Schedule C to this Agreement, which is referred to as the “Terms Communication”.

2. Representations and Warranties of the Company and the Guarantors. Each of the Company and the Guarantors, jointly and severally, hereby represents and warrants to, and agrees with, the Purchasers that:

(a) As of its date, the Final Offering Memorandum does not, and as of the Closing Date (as hereinafter defined), the Final Offering Memorandum will not, include any untrue statement of a material fact or 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. At the Applicable Time, the General Disclosure Package does not, and as of the Closing Date, the General Disclosure Package will not include any untrue statement of a material fact or 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. At the time of its use, the Supplemental Marketing Material, when considered together with the General Disclosure Package, did not include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The preceding three sentences do not apply to statements in or omissions from the Preliminary Offering Memorandum or Final Offering Memorandum, the General Disclosure Package or any Supplemental Marketing Material based upon written information furnished to the Company by any Purchaser specifically for use therein, it being understood and agreed that the only such information is that described as such in Section 8(b) hereof.

The Company files reports with the Commission pursuant to Section 15(d) of the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Each document filed with the Commission when it became effective or when it was filed with the Commission, as the case may be, conformed in all material respects to the requirements of the Securities Act or the

Exchange Act, as applicable, and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder, and none of such documents, at the time they were filed with the Commission, included any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; and no such documents were filed with the Commission since the Commission’s close of business on the business day immediately prior to the date of this Agreement or immediately prior to the execution of this Agreement.

(c) Except for the Supplemental Marketing Material identified in Schedule D hereto and furnished to the Representative before first use, the Company has not prepared, used or referred to, and will not, without the prior consent of the Representative, prepare, use or refer to any Free Writing Communication in connection with the issuance of the Securities.

The Company and the Guarantors 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 Securities.

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 Securities that would constitute an Issuer Free Writing Communication.

(b) The Company consents to the use by any Purchaser of a Free Writing Communication that (i) contains only (A) information describing the preliminary terms of the Securities or their offering or (B) information that describes the final terms of the Securities or their offering and that is included in the Terms Communication or is subsequently included in the Final Offering Memorandum, including by means of a pricing term sheet in the form of the Terms Communication included in Schedule C hereto, or (ii) does not contain any material information about the Company or its securities that was provided by or on behalf of the Company, it being understood and agreed that the Company shall not be responsible to any Purchaser for liability arising from any inaccuracy in such Free Writing Communications referred to in clause (i) or (ii) because it differed from the information in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum, the Final Offering Memorandum or the General Disclosure Package.

7. Conditions of the Obligations of the Purchasers. The several obligations of the Purchasers to purchase and pay for the Securities as provided herein are subject to the satisfaction or waiver, as determined by the Representative of the following conditions precedent:

(a) The Representative shall have received letters, dated (A) the date hereof, of KPMG LLP, in form and substance satisfactory to the Representative and (B) the Closing Date, of KPMG LLP, in form and substance satisfactory to the Representative, which letters shall each contain confirming statements and information of the type ordinarily included in “accountants’ comfort letters” to underwriters with respect to the financial statements and certain financial information contained in the General Disclosure Package and the Final Offering Memorandum, except that the specific date referred to therein for the carrying out of procedures shall be no more than three (3) business days prior to the date of such letter.

(c) The representations and warranties of the Company and the Guarantors contained in this Agreement shall be true and correct on and as of the Applicable Time and on and as of the Closing Date as if made on and as of the Closing Date.

(d) The Representative shall have received on the Closing Date an opinion and negative assurance letter of Xxxxxx & Xxxxxxx LLP, counsel for the Company, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Representative, to the effect set forth in Exhibit A hereto and to such further effect as counsel to the Purchasers may reasonably request.

(e) The Representative shall have received on the Closing Date from Skadden, Arps, Slate, Xxxxxxx & Xxxx LLP, counsel for the Purchasers, such opinion or opinions, dated the Closing Date, with respect to such matters as the Representative may require, and the Company shall have furnished to such counsel such documents as they reasonably request for the purpose of enabling them to pass upon such matters.

(f) The Representative shall have received on the Closing Date a certificate, dated the Closing Date, of an executive officer of the Company and each Guarantor and a principal financial or accounting officer of the Company and each Guarantor in which such officers, to their knowledge after reasonable investigation, shall state to the effect set forth in Section 7(b)(ii) hereof and that the representations and warranties of the Company and each Guarantor in this Agreement were true and correct as of the Applicable Time and are true and correct as of the Closing Date, that the Company and each Guarantor has complied with all agreements and satisfied all conditions on its part to be performed or satisfied hereunder at or prior to the Closing Date, and that, subsequent to the date of the most recent financial statements in the General Disclosure Package, there has been no material adverse change in the financial condition, results of operations, business or properties of the Company or the Guarantors except as set forth in the General Disclosure Package or as described in such certificate.

(l) The Trustee shall have received an opinion of Xxxxxx & Xxxxxxx LLP, counsel for the Company, in form reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee.

The Company will furnish the Representative with such conformed copies of such opinions, certificates, letters and documents as the Representative reasonably request.

8. Indemnification and Contribution.

(a) Each of the Company and the Guarantors, jointly and severally, agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Purchaser, its partners, members, directors, officers, employees, agents, Affiliates and each person, if any, who controls such Purchaser within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act (each, an “Indemnified Party”), against any and all losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, or any actions in respect thereof (including but not limited to, any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or actions relating to purchases and sales of the Securities) to which such 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 Memorandum or the Final Offering Memorandum, 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 and the Guarantors 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, severally and not jointly, will indemnify and hold harmless each of the Company, each Guarantor and each of their respective partners, members, managers, directors and officers and each person, if any, who controls the Company or any Guarantor 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 or actions in respect thereof, 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 Memorandum or the Final Offering Memorandum, 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, subject to the limitation set forth in the immediately preceding clause, 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 in respect thereof, 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 Memorandum and the Final Offering Memorandum: the names of the Purchasers on the cover page and under the heading “Plan of Distribution;” the information in (i) the second sentence of the third paragraph; (ii) the first, second, third, fourth, fifth, eighth, ninth and tenth sentences of the seventh paragraph; (iii) the fifth sentence of the eighth paragraph; (iv) the third, eighth and ninth sentences of the ninth paragraph; and (v) the first sentence of the twelfth 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 or the Guarantors’ failure to perform their obligations under Section 5(a) of this Agreement.

(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 8 of notice of the commencement of any action or proceeding (including a governmental investigation), 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 the indemnifying party 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 8 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, the Representative 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 the Representative, 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 8 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 (or actions in respect thereof) referred to in subsection (a) or (b) above (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the indemnifying party or parties on the one hand and the indemnified party on the other from the offering of the Securities or (ii) if the allocation provided by the foregoing clause (i) 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 indemnifying party or parties on the one hand and the indemnified party on the other in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company and the Guarantors 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 and the Guarantors from the sale of the Securities, 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 of the parties shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue statement 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 any other 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 Securities 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 statement 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 and the Guarantors under this Section shall be in addition to any liability which the Company and the Guarantors 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 or the Guarantors within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act.

(f) The indemnity and contribution provisions contained in this Section 8 and the representations and warranties of the Company and the Guarantors 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 Indemnified Party or any Purchaser Indemnified Party and (iii) acceptance of and payment for any of the Securities.

9. Termination. The Representative may terminate this Agreement by notice given by the Representative 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, 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 Securities on the terms and in the manner contemplated in the General Disclosure Package or the Final Offering Memorandum.

10. Default of Purchasers. If any Purchaser or Purchasers default in their obligations to purchase Securities hereunder on the Closing Date and the aggregate principal amount of the Securities that such defaulting Purchaser or Purchasers agreed but failed to purchase does not exceed 10% of the total principal amount of the Securities, the Representative may make arrangements satisfactory to the Company for the purchase of such Securities 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 Securities 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 Securities with respect to which such default or defaults occur exceeds 10% of the total principal amount of the Securities that Purchasers are required to purchase on the Closing Date and arrangements satisfactory to the Representative and the Company for the purchase of such Securities 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 11. 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 and the Guarantors or their 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, the Guarantors or any of their respective representatives, officers or directors or any controlling person, and will survive delivery of and payment for the Securities. If the Company shall, in its sole discretion, fail or refuse to sell the Securities 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 Securities.

12. Notices. All communications hereunder will be in writing and, if sent to the Purchasers will be mailed, delivered or telecopied and confirmed to the Representative, c/o:

provided, however, that any notice to a Purchaser pursuant to Section 8 will be mailed, delivered or telecopied 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 any Indemnified Party and any Purchaser Indemnified Party, and no other person will have any right or obligation hereunder, except that holders of the Securities 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. The Representative 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 and the Guarantors acknowledge and agree that:

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

(b) The purchase price of the Securities set forth in this Agreement was established by the Company following discussions and arms-length negotiations with the Purchasers 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 and the Guarantors have been advised that the Purchasers and their respective affiliates are engaged in a broad range of transactions which may involve interests that differ from those of the Company and the Guarantors and that the Purchasers have no obligation to disclose such interests and transactions to the Company and the Guarantors by virtue of any fiduciary, advisory or agency relationship; and

(d) The Company and the Guarantors waive, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any claims they may have against the Purchasers for breach of fiduciary duty or alleged breach of fiduciary duty arising out of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and agree that the Purchasers shall have no liability (whether direct or indirect) to the Company or the Guarantors 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 and the Guarantors, including stockholders, employees or creditors of the Company and the Guarantors.

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 Securities, represents the entire agreement between the Company, the Guarantors and the Purchasers with respect to the preparation of the Preliminary Offering Memorandum, the General Disclosure Package, the Final Offering Memorandum, the conduct of the offering, and the purchase and sale of the Securities. This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements and understandings (whether written or oral) between the Company, the Guarantors 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 without regard to principles of conflict of laws that would result in the application of any law other than the laws of the State of New York.

20. Submission to Jurisdiction. The Company and the Guarantors hereby submit 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.

The information in this term sheet supplements the Issuer’s Preliminary Offering Memorandum and supersedes the information in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum to the extent inconsistent with the information in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum. This term sheet is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Preliminary Offering Memorandum.

The Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and are being offered and sold (i) to persons that are reasonably believed to be “qualified institutional buyers” (as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act) in reliance upon the exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act provided by Rule 144A thereunder, and (ii) to persons outside the United States in accordance with Regulation S under the Securities Act.

It is expected that delivery of the Notes will be made to investors on or about the third business day following the time of sale (“T+3”). Under Rule 15c6-1(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, trades in the secondary market generally are required to settle in two business days, unless the parties to any such trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade Notes on the date of pricing will be required, by virtue of the fact that the Notes initially will settle in T+3, to specify an alternate settlement cycle at the time of any such trade to prevent a failed settlement. Purchasers of Notes who wish to trade Notes on such date should consult their own advisors.

Re:

$1,500,000,000 Aggregate Principal Amount of 4.500% Senior Notes due 2029 issued by Cheniere Energy Partners, L.P.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as special counsel to Cheniere Energy Partners, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “Company”), in connection with the sale to you and the several initial purchasers named on Exhibit A hereto for whom you are acting as representative (you and such other initial purchasers collectively, the “Initial Purchasers”) by the Company of $1,500,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 4.500% Senior Notes due 2029 (the “Notes”) and the guarantees of the Notes (the “Guarantees”) by each of the subsidiaries of the Company set forth on Exhibits B-1 and B-2 hereto (the “Guarantors”), pursuant to a purchase agreement, dated September 9, 2019 (the “Purchase Agreement”), among you, as representative of the several Initial Purchasers, the Company and the Guarantors. The Notes and Guarantees are being issued pursuant to an indenture, dated September 18, 2017 (the “Base Indenture”), among the Company, the Guarantors and The Bank of New York Mellon, as Trustee (the “Trustee”), as amended and supplemented by a third supplemental indenture, dated as of September 12, 2019, among the Company, the Guarantors and the Trustee (the “Supplemental Indenture”). The Base Indenture, as amended and supplemented by the Supplemental Indenture, is referred to herein as the “Indenture.” The Preliminary Offering Memorandum with respect to the Notes and the Guarantees, dated September 9, 2019, is herein called the “Preliminary Offering Memorandum”; the term “Pricing Information Annex” means the information set forth in Schedule C to the Purchase Agreement; the Offering Memorandum with respect to the Notes and Guarantees, dated September 9, 2019, is herein called the “Offering Memorandum”; and the reports filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission and incorporated by reference in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum or the Offering Memorandum are herein collectively called the “Incorporated Documents.” References herein to the Preliminary Offering Memorandum and the Offering Memorandum exclude the Incorporated Documents. As used herein, “CQP Project Party” means each of the Company, Sabine Pass Liquefaction, LLC, Sabine Pass LNG, LP, and Cheniere Creole Trail Pipeline, L.P. This letter is being delivered to you pursuant to Section 7(d) of the Purchase Agreement.

As such counsel, we have examined such matters of fact and questions of law as we have considered appropriate for purposes of this letter, except where a specific fact confirmation procedure is stated to have been performed (in which case we have with your consent performed the stated procedure). We have examined, among other things, the following:

(a)

The Purchase Agreement;

(b)

The Indenture (including the Guarantees), the form of the Notes and the Registration Rights Agreement, dated the date hereof, between you, as representative of the several Initial Purchasers, the Company and the Guarantors (the “Registration Rights Agreement”);

(c)

The Preliminary Offering Memorandum and the Offering Memorandum, in each case with respect to the Notes;

(d)

(i) The limited partnership agreements of the Company and the Guarantors set forth on Exhibit B-1 hereto (the “Limited Partnership Guarantors”) and the limited liability company agreements of the Guarantors set forth on Exhibit B-2 hereto (the “Limited Liability Company Guarantors”) and the limited liability company agreement of Cheniere Energy Partners GP, LLC (the “General Partner”), dated as of August 9, 2012, by and among Cheniere LNG Holdings, LLC and Blackstone CQP Holdco LP, each as in effect as of the date hereof, (which, with your consent, we have assumed is (1) a valid and binding agreement of the parties thereto, enforceable in accordance with the plain meaning of its terms, (2) in full force and effect, and (3) the entire agreement of the parties pertaining to the subject matter thereof), (ii) the certificate of limited partnership of the General Partner, and (iii) the certificate of formation or limited partnership, as applicable, of the Company and the Guarantors (collectively in this clause (iii), the “Governing Documents”) and certain resolutions of the managers, board of directors or other governing body of the Company and the Guarantors;

(e)

The certificates dated September 6, 2019, and bring-down electronic copies thereof dated as of September 9, 2019 and September 12, 2019, from the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware as to the existence and good standing of the Company and each of the Guarantors in the State of Delaware (collectively, the “Good Standing Certificates”);

(f)

The Credit and Guaranty Agreement, dated as of May 29, 2019, by and among the Company, MUFG Bank, Ltd., as administrative agent under the Credit Agreement (in such capacity, the “Credit Agreement Administrative Agent”), the Issuing Banks and Lenders party thereto and each other person party thereto from time to time (the “Credit Agreement”);

(g)

The documents listed in Exhibit C attached hereto (collectively, the “Material Project Documents”); and

(h)

Such other documents as we have deemed necessary or appropriate as a basis for the opinions set forth below.

The documents listed in clauses (a) and (b) above are referred to herein collectively as the “Opinion Documents”.

the effect of bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, preference, fraudulent transfer, corporate benefit, financial assistance, moratorium or other similar laws relating to or affecting the rights and remedies of creditors, or the judicial application of foreign laws or governmental actions affecting creditors’ rights;

the effect of general principles of equity, whether enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law (including the possible unavailability of specific performance or injunctive relief), concepts of materiality, reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing, and the discretion of the court before which a proceeding is brought;

the invalidity under certain circumstances under law or court decisions of provisions providing for the indemnification of or contribution to a party with respect to a liability where such indemnification or contribution is contrary to public policy;

we express no opinion with respect to (a) provisions for liquidated damages, default interest, late charges, monetary penalties, make-whole premiums or other economic remedies to the extent such provisions are deemed to constitute a penalty, (b) consents to, or restrictions upon, governing law, jurisdiction, venue, service of process, arbitration, remedies or judicial relief, (c) the waiver of rights or defenses contained in Section 11.01(d) of the Indenture, (d) any provision requiring the payment of attorneys’ fees, where such payment is contrary to law or public policy, (e) any provision permitting, upon acceleration of the Notes, collection of that portion of the stated principal amount thereof which might be determined to constitute unearned interest thereon, (f) any “swap” (as such term is defined in the Commodity Exchange Act), including any guarantee thereof, by the Guarantors who is not an “eligible participant” (as such term is defined in the Commodity Exchange Act), (g) tax laws, antitrust or trade regulation laws, insolvency or fraudulent transfer laws, antifraud laws, compliance with fiduciary duty requirements, pension or employee benefit laws, usury laws, environmental laws, real property, land use or siting laws, margin regulations, laws and regulations relating to commodities trading, futures and swaps, Financial Industry Regulatory Authority rules, National Futures Association rules, stock exchange rules or rules of any clearing organization, designated contract market or other regulated entity for trading, processing, clearing or reporting transactions in securities, commodities, futures or swaps, or export control, anti-money laundering, and anti-terrorism laws (without limiting other laws or rules excluded by customary practice) and (h) the severability, if invalid, of provisions to the foregoing effect;

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the opinions expressed above are also subject to the following limitations, exceptions and assumptions:

(a) Insofar as our opinions require interpretation of the Credit Agreement or the Material Project Documents, with your consent, (i) we have assumed that all courts of competent jurisdiction would enforce such agreements in accordance with their plain meaning, (ii) to the extent that the Material Project Documents are governed by the laws of a State other than the State of New York or the State of Texas, and to the extent that any questions of legality or legal construction have arisen in connection with our review, we have applied the laws of the State of Texas in resolving such questions, although certain of the Material Project Documents may be governed by other laws which differ from the laws of the State of Texas, (iii) we express no opinion with respect to a breach or default under the Credit Agreement or any Material Project Document that would occur only upon the happening of a contingency, (iv) we express no opinion with respect to any matters which require the performance of a mathematical calculation or the making of a financial, valuation or accounting determination and (v) since the original date of execution of the Credit Agreement or such Material Project Document, the Credit Agreement or such Material Project Document (as such agreement is amended, supplemented or modified by any amendment, supplement or modification described on Exhibit C hereto) has not been amended, restated, amended and restated, modified, supplemented or terminated and that no rights pursuant thereto have been released, waived or modified either expressly or by any action or inaction of the parties thereto.

(b) We have assumed that all members or managers (other than the Company or the Guarantors) that are entities have duly taken such internal actions (such as board, member, manager, or partner approval) as may be necessary to enable them to duly act, and that they have duly acted (and duly executed and delivered the Opinion Documents), in their capacities as members or managers of the Company or the Guarantors in connection with the Opinion Documents.

(c) We have further assumed, with your consent, that each Guarantor is a subsidiary of the Company and that the Opinion Documents are necessary and convenient to the conduct, promotion or attainment of the business of such Guarantor and the Company.

Additionally,

(i) We do not express any opinion with respect to the creation, validity, attachment or perfection of any security interest or lien or the effectiveness of any sale or other conveyance or transfer of real or personal property.

(ii) The opinions above do not include any opinions with respect to compliance with laws relating to permissible rates of interest.

(iii) We have assumed that since the original date of execution thereof and as amended by any amendment set forth in the definition of “Credit Agreement” or in Exhibit C with respect thereto, neither the Credit Agreement nor any Material Project Document has been amended, restated, modified, supplemented, or terminated and that no rights pursuant thereto have been released, waived, or modified either expressly or by any action or inaction of the parties thereto and that no party has defaulted on its obligations under the Credit Agreement or any such Material Project Document.

(iv) We have assumed that any conditions to the effectiveness of the Opinion Documents, the Credit Agreement and the Material Project Documents have been satisfied or waived.

(v) With respect to our opinion set forth in paragraph 9(iv) above, we express no opinion regarding the nature of the businesses in which the Company or any Guarantor, or any of their respective affiliates, is engaged or the effect thereof.

With your consent, except to the extent we have expressly opined as to such matters with respect to the Company and the Guarantors herein, we have assumed (a) that the Opinion Documents have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the parties thereto other than the Company and the Guarantors party thereto, (b) the genuineness of all signatures and the legal capacity of all natural persons, (c) that the Opinion Documents constitute legally valid and binding obligations of the parties thereto other than the Company and the Guarantors, enforceable against each of them in accordance with their respective terms, and (d) that the status of the Opinion Documents as legally valid and binding obligations of the parties is not affected by any (i) breaches of, or defaults under, agreements or instruments, (ii) violations of statutes, rules, regulations or court or governmental orders, or (iii) failures to obtain required consents, approvals or authorizations from, or make required registrations, declarations or filings with, governmental authorities.

Re:

$1,500,000,000 Aggregate Principal Amount of 4.500% Senior Notes due 2029 issued by Cheniere Energy Partners, L.P.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as special counsel to Cheniere Energy Partners, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “Company”) in connection with the sale to you and the several initial purchasers named on Schedule A hereto for whom you are acting as representative (you and such other initial purchasers collectively, the “Initial Purchasers”) by the Company of $1,500,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 4.500% Senior Notes due 2029 (the “Notes”) and the guarantee of the Notes (the “Guarantees”) by each of the guarantors under the Indenture (as defined below) (the “Guarantors”), pursuant to a purchase agreement, dated September 9, 2019 (the “Purchase Agreement”), among you, as representative of the several Initial Purchasers, the Company and the Guarantors. The Notes and the Guarantees are being issued pursuant to an indenture, dated September 18, 2017 (the “Base Indenture”), among the Company, the Guarantors and The Bank of New York Mellon, as trustee (the “Trustee”), as amended and supplemented by a third supplemental indenture, dated as of September 12, 2019, among the Company, the Guarantors and the Trustee (the “Supplemental Indenture”). The Base Indenture, as amended and supplemented by the Supplemental Indenture, is referred to herein as the “Indenture”. This letter is being furnished to you pursuant to Section 7(d) of the Purchase Agreement.

The Preliminary Offering Memorandum with respect to the Notes and the Guarantees, dated September 9, 2019, is herein called the “Preliminary Offering Memorandum”; the term “Pricing Information Annex” means the information set forth on the term sheet listing the final terms of the Notes and the Guarantees included as Schedule C to the Purchase Agreement; the Offering Memorandum with respect to the Notes and the Guarantees, dated September 9, 2019, is herein called the “Offering Memorandum,” and the reports filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission and incorporated by reference in the Preliminary Offering Memorandum or the Offering Memorandum are herein collectively called the “Incorporated Documents.” References herein to the Preliminary Offering Memorandum and the Offering Memorandum exclude the Incorporated Documents.

The primary purpose of our professional engagement was not to establish or confirm factual matters or financial or quantitative information. Therefore, we are not passing upon and do not assume any responsibility for the accuracy, completeness or fairness of the statements contained in, or incorporated by reference in, the Preliminary Offering Memorandum, the Pricing Information Annex or the Offering Memorandum, (except to the extent expressly set forth in the numbered paragraph 10 of our letter to you of even date or in our letter to you of even date with respect to certain tax matters) and have not made an independent check or verification thereof (except as aforesaid). However, in the course of

acting as special counsel to the Company in connection with the preparation by the Company of the Preliminary Offering Memorandum, the Pricing Information Annex and the Offering Memorandum, we reviewed the Preliminary Offering Memorandum, the Pricing Information Annex, the Offering Memorandum and the Incorporated Documents, and participated in conferences and telephone conversations with officers and other representatives of the Company, the independent public accountants for the Company, representatives of the Initial Purchasers and counsel for the Initial Purchasers during which conferences and conversations the contents of the Preliminary Offering Memorandum, the Pricing Information Annex, the Offering Memorandum and portions of certain of the Incorporated Documents and related matters were discussed. We also reviewed and relied upon certain corporate records and documents, letters from counsel and accountants, and oral and written statements of officers and other representatives of the Company and others as to the existence and consequence of certain factual and other matters.

Based on our participation, review and reliance as described above, we advise you that no facts came to our attention that caused us to believe that:

•

The Preliminary Offering Memorandum, as of 3:00 p.m. New York City time on September 9, 2019 (together with the Incorporated Documents as of that date), when taken together with the Pricing Information Annex, contained an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; or

•

The Offering Memorandum, as of its date and as of the date hereof (together with the Incorporated Documents as of those respective dates), contained or contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or omits to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;

it being understood that we express no belief with respect to the financial statements, schedules, or other financial data included in, or omitted from, the Preliminary Offering Memorandum, the Pricing Information Annex, the Offering Memorandum or the Incorporated Documents.

This letter is furnished only to you in your capacity as representative of the several Initial Purchasers in their capacity as initial purchasers under the Purchase Agreement and is solely for the benefit of the Initial Purchasers in connection with the transactions referenced in the first paragraph. This letter may not be relied upon by you or the other Initial Purchasers for any other purpose, or furnished to, assigned to, quoted to, or relied upon by any other person, firm or other entity for any purpose (including any person, firm or other entity that acquires Notes or any interest therein from you or the other Initial Purchasers) without our prior written consent, which may be granted or withheld in our sole discretion.

Very truly yours,
