Schedule I

CQP Corporate Property Policy

Cheniere Energy Partners, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“CQP”), Sabine Pass LNG, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“SPLNG”), Cheniere Creole Trail Pipeline, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“CCTP”) and Sabine Pass Liquefaction, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“SPL” or the “Borrower”) shall jointly maintain a property insurance policy (the “CQP Corporate Property Policy”) in order to cover the properties of SPL, SPLNG and CCTP.

Section 2.1 of Schedule 6.6 to the Common Terms Agreement requires the Borrower to maintain property insurance in “[n]ot less than an amount equivalent to the total replacement value of the Insured Property . . . or an amount to be determined based upon a probable maximum loss study performed by a reputable and experienced firm reasonably satisfactory to the Common Security Trustee in consultation with the Insurance Advisor.” The probable maximum loss with respect to the Project is currently $1.7 billion. Pursuant to similar requirements under CQP financing documentation, SPLNG must maintain property insurance over its properties in an amount not less than the probable maximum loss with respect to the SPLNG project (currently estimated to be $370 million) and CCTP must maintain property insurance over its properties in an amount not less than the probable maximum loss with respect to the CCTP pipeline (currently estimated to be $70 million). Collectively, the Borrower, SPLNG and CCTP must therefore maintain property insurance over their properties in an amount of $2.14 billion based on current estimates of probable maximum loss.

Under the CQP Corporate Property Policy, the Borrower would maintain insurance in accordance with prudent industry standards. Therefore, CQP, SPLNG, CCTP and the Borrower would collectively maintain property insurance in an amount no less than the amounts currently required under the Financing Documents and the CQP financing documents. CQP would cause the direction of any insurance proceeds under the property insurance for the CQP Corporate Property Policy in accordance with the Financing Documents.

Under the CQP Corporate Property Policy, the Common Security Trustee would be named as a named insured and loss payee (via endorsement), and there could be other named insureds and loss payees with respect to such policy, including CQP, SPLNG, CCTP and their secured creditors.

Exhibit A

Updated Schedule 6.6 to the Common Terms Agreement

Please see attached.

SCHEDULE 6.6

INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS

1. The Borrower shall maintain insurance customarily carried by companies engaged in similar businesses, insured with financially sound insurers in such form and amounts as is necessary to insure the probable maximum loss for the Project (through either an individual policy or as part of a group policy maintained by the Borrower or the Sponsor, so long as the Borrower is included as a “named” insured on all policies). The Borrower will cause each property insurance policy to name the Common Security Trustee on behalf of the Secured Parties and the Secured Parties as a “named insured” and the Common Security Trustee, on behalf of the Secured Parties as loss payee, in each case as their interest may appear.

2. Borrower Conditions and Requirements.

(a) Loss Notification: The Borrower shall promptly notify the Common Security Trustee of any single loss or event likely to give rise to a property damage or liability claim against an insurer for an amount in excess of USD75,000,000.

(b) Loss Adjustment and Settlement: Any loss shall be adjusted with the insurance companies, including the filing in a timely manner of appropriate proceedings, by the Borrower or EPC Contractor, subject to the approval of the Common Security Trustee if such loss is in excess of USD75,000,000 prior to the Substantial Completion of Subproject 5 (or if Train 6 Debt has been incurred, Subproject 6) and in excess of USD250,000,000 on or after the Substantial Completion of Subproject 5 (or if Train 6 Debt has been incurred, Subproject 6) (as each term is defined in the applicable EPC Contracts). In addition, the EPC Contractor or Borrower may in its reasonable judgment consent to the settlement of any loss, provided that in the event that the amount of the loss exceeds USD75,000,000 prior to the Substantial Completion of Subproject 5 (or if Train 6 Debt has been incurred, Subproject 6) and in excess of USD250,000,000 on or after the Substantial Completion of Subproject 5 (or if Train 6 Debt has been incurred, Subproject 6) (as each term is defined in the applicable EPC Contracts) the terms of such settlement is concurred with by the Common Security Trustee.

(c) Compliance With Policy Requirements: The Borrower shall not violate or permit to be violated any of the conditions, provisions or requirements of any insurance policy required by this Section, and the Borrower shall perform, satisfy and comply with, or cause to be performed, satisfied and complied with, all conditions, provisions and requirements of all insurance policies.

(d) Evidence of Insurance: The Borrower shall (i) within thirty (30) Business Days and 120 Business Days after the issuance of NTP pursuant to the Stage 3 EPC Contract (and, if Train 6 Debt has been incurred, within thirty (30) Business Days and 120 Business Days after the issuance of NTP pursuant to the Xxxxx 0 XXX Xxxxxxxx), (ii) within thirty (30) Business Days after commencement of operations

of any LNG train and (iii) promptly after each policy renewal or any policy inception, furnish the Common Security Trustee with (a) certificates of insurance or binders, in a form reasonably acceptable to the Common Security Trustee, evidencing all of the insurance for the Project and (b) a schedule of the insurance policies held by or for the benefit of the Project. The schedule of insurance shall include the name of the insurance company, policy number (if available), type of insurance, major limits of liability, deductibles, and expiration date of the insurance policies. Such certificates of insurance/binders shall identify underwriters, the type of insurance, the insurance limits and the policy term. Upon request, the Borrower will promptly furnish the Common Security Trustee with copies of all insurance policies, reinsurance policies, binders and cover notes and such other evidence of insurance as the Common Security Trustee may request.

(e) Reports: Concurrently with the furnishing of the evidence of insurance described in clause (d)(i) or (ii) above, the Borrower shall furnish the Common Security Trustee with a report of the Insurance Advisor stating that in the opinion of the Insurance Advisor, the insurance then carried is in accordance with the terms of this Schedule 6.6.

In addition the Borrower will advise the Common Security Trustee in writing promptly of (a) any material adverse changes in the coverage or limits provided under any policy required by this Section, (b) any default in the payment of any premium and of any other act or omission on the part of the Borrower which may invalidate or render unenforceable, in whole or part, any insurance being maintained by the Borrower pursuant to this Section and (c) any reduction in the financial rating of any insurer providing the insurance required hereunder such that the rating no longer meets the requirements set forth herein.
