ITEM 9B. OTHER INFORMATION

Sabine Pass LNG Notes

On October 16, 2012, Sabine Pass LNG, L.P. ("Sabine Pass LNG"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Cheniere Energy Partners, L.P., closed the sale of $420 million aggregate principal amount of its 6.5% Senior Secured Notes due 2020 (the "2020 Notes") pursuant to the Purchase Agreement dated October 1, 2012 by and among Sabine Pass LNG and Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC and HSBC Securities (USA) Inc., as representatives of the initial purchasers named therein (the "SPLNG Initial Purchasers"). The sale of the 2020 Notes was not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and the 2020 Notes were sold on a private placement basis in reliance on Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and Rule 144A and Regulation S thereunder.

Indenture

The 2020 Notes were issued pursuant to the Indenture, dated as of October 16, 2012 (the "SPLNG Indenture"), by and among Sabine Pass LNG, the guarantors that may become party thereto from time to time and The Bank of New York Mellon, as trustee. Under the terms of the SPLNG Indenture, the 2020 Notes will mature on November 1, 2020 and will accrue interest at a rate equal to 6.5% per annum on the principal amount from October 16, 2012, with such interest payable semi-annually, in cash in arrears, on May 1 and November 1 of each year, beginning May 1, 2013. The 2020 Notes are senior secured obligations of Sabine Pass LNG and rank senior in right of payment to any and all of Sabine Pass LNG's future indebtedness that is subordinated in right of payment to the 2020 Notes and equal in right of payment with all of Sabine Pass LNG's existing and future indebtedness that is senior and secured by the same collateral as that securing the 2020 Notes. The 2020 Notes are effectively senior to all of Sabine Pass LNG's senior indebtedness that is unsecured to the extent of the value of the assets constituting the collateral securing the 2020 Notes. The 2020 Notes are effectively subordinated to all of Sabine Pass LNG's indebtedness that is secured by assets other than the collateral securing the 2020 Notes, to the extent of the value of such assets, and is structurally subordinated to all indebtedness and other liabilities of Sabine Pass LNG's subsidiaries that do not provide guarantees with respect to the 2020 Notes.

As of October 16, 2012, the 2020 Notes were not guaranteed but will be guaranteed in the future by all of Sabine Pass LNG's future restricted subsidiaries that guarantee other indebtedness of Sabine Pass LNG, subject to certain exceptions. Such guarantees will be joint and several obligations of the guarantors of the 2020 Notes. The guarantees of the 2020 Notes will be senior secured obligations of the guarantors.

Sabine Pass LNG may, at its option, redeem all or part of the 2020 Notes at any time on or after November 1, 2016, at fixed redemption prices specified in the SPLNG Indenture, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of redemption. Sabine Pass LNG may also, at its option, redeem all or part of the 2020 Notes at any time prior to November 1, 2016, at a "make-whole" price set forth in the SPLNG Indenture, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of redemption. At any time before November 1, 2015, Sabine Pass LNG may, on one or more occasions, redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2020 Notes at a redemption price of 106.5% of the principal amount of the 2020 Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date, in an amount not to exceed the net proceeds of one or more completed equity offerings as long as it redeems the 2020 Notes within 180 days of completing such equity offering and at least 65% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2020 Notes issued under the SPLNG Indenture on October 16, 2012 remains outstanding after the redemption.

The SPLNG Indenture also contains customary terms, events of default and covenants relating to, among other things, incurring additional indebtedness or issuing preferred stock, making certain investments or paying dividends or distributions on capital stock or subordinated indebtedness or purchasing, redeeming or retiring capital stock, selling or transferring assets, including capital stock of Sabine Pass LNG's restricted subsidiaries, restricting dividends or other payments by Sabine Pass LNG's restricted subsidiaries, incurring liens, entering into transactions with affiliates, consolidating, merging, selling or leasing all or substantially all of Sabine Pass LNG's assets and entering into sale and leaseback transactions. In addition, Sabine Pass LNG will be required to deposit in a debt payment account one-sixth of the amount of interest due on the 2020 Notes and Sabine Pass LNG's outstanding

7.5% Senior Secured Notes due 2016 on the next interest payment date (plus any shortfall from any such month subsequent to the preceding interest payment date) at the end of each month. The SPLNG Indenture covenants are subject to a number of important limitations and exceptions.

This description of the SPLNG Indenture is qualified in its entirety by reference to the SPLNG Indenture, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 4.1 to Sabine Pass LNG's Current Report on Form 8-K filed on October 19, 2012, and is incorporated by reference herein.

Registration Rights Agreement

In connection with the closing of the sale of the 2020 Notes, Sabine Pass LNG and the SPLNG Initial Purchasers entered into a Registration Rights Agreement, dated October 16, 2012 (the "Registration Rights Agreement"). Under the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement, Sabine Pass LNG has agreed, and any future guarantors of the 2020 Notes will agree, to use commercially reasonable efforts to file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and cause to become effective a registration statement with respect to an offer to exchange the 2020 Notes for a like aggregate principal amount of debt securities of Sabine Pass LNG issued under the SPLNG Indenture and identical in all material respects with the 2020 Notes (other than with respect to restrictions on transfer or to any increase in annual interest rate) that are registered under the Securities Act. Sabine Pass LNG has agreed, and any future guarantors of the 2020 Notes will agree, to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective within 360 days after October 16, 2012. Under specified circumstances, Sabine Pass LNG has also agreed, and any future guarantors will also agree, to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause to become effective a shelf registration statement relating to resales of the Notes. Sabine Pass LNG will be obligated to pay additional interest if it fails to comply with its obligations to register the Notes within the specified time periods.

This description of the Registration Rights Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Registration Rights Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to Sabine Pass LNG's Current Report on Form 8-K, filed on October 19, 2012, and is incorporated by reference herein.

LLC, as representative of the initial purchasers named therein (the "SPL Initial Purchasers"). The sale of the 2021 Notes was not registered under the Securities Act, and the 2021 Notes were sold on a private placement basis in reliance on Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and Rule 144A and Regulation S thereunder.

Purchase Agreement

The foregoing description of the SPL Purchase Agreement is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the SPL Purchase Agreement, which was filed as Exhibit 1.1 to Cheniere Partners' Current Report on Form 8-K, filed on February 4, 2013 and is incorporated by reference herein.

The SPL Initial Purchasers and certain of their affiliates have provided from time to time, and may provide in the future, certain investment and commercial banking and financial advisory services to Sabine Pass Liquefaction and Cheniere Partners in the ordinary course of business, for which they have received and may continue to receive customary fees and commissions.

Indenture

The 2021 Notes were issued pursuant to the Indenture, dated as of February 1, 2013 (the "SPL Indenture"), by and among Sabine Pass Liquefaction, the guarantors that may become party thereto from time to time and The Bank of New York Mellon, as trustee. Under the terms of the SPL Indenture, the 2021 Notes will mature on February 1, 2021 and will accrue interest at a rate equal to 5.625% per annum on the principal amount from February 1, 2013, with such interest payable semi-annually, in cash in arrears, on February 1 and August 1 of each year, beginning August 1, 2013. The 2021 Notes are senior secured obligations of Sabine Pass Liquefaction and rank senior in right of payment to any and all of Sabine Pass Liquefaction's future indebtedness that is subordinated in right of payment to the 2021 Notes and equal in right of payment with all of Sabine Pass Liquefaction's existing and future indebtedness that is senior and secured by the same collateral securing the 2021 Notes. The 2021 Notes are effectively senior to all of Sabine Pass Liquefaction's senior indebtedness that is unsecured to the extent of the value of the assets constituting the collateral securing the 2021 Notes.

As of February 1, 2013, the 2021 Notes were not guaranteed but will be guaranteed in the future by all of Sabine Pass Liquefaction's future restricted subsidiaries. Such guarantees will be joint and several obligations of the guarantors of the 2021 Notes. The guarantees of the 2021 Notes will be senior secured obligations of the guarantors.

At any time or from time to time prior to November 1, 2020, Sabine Pass Liquefaction may redeem all or a part of the 2021 Notes, at a redemption price equal to the "make-whole" price set forth in the SPL Indenture, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of redemption. Sabine Pass Liquefaction also may at any time on or after November 1, 2020, redeem the 2021 Notes, in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2021 Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of redemption.

The SPL Indenture also contains customary terms and events of default and certain covenants that, among other things, limit Sabine Pass Liquefaction's ability and the ability of Sabine Pass Liquefaction's restricted subsidiaries to incur additional indebtedness or issue preferred stock, make certain investments or pay dividends or distributions on capital stock or subordinated indebtedness or purchase, redeem or retire capital stock, sell or transfer assets, including capital stock of Sabine Pass Liquefaction's restricted subsidiaries, restrict dividends or other payments by restricted subsidiaries, incur liens, enter into transactions with affiliates, consolidate, merge, sell or lease all or substantially all of Sabine Pass Liquefaction's assets and enter into certain LNG sales contracts.

Amendment to SPA with KOGAS

On February 18, 2013, Sabine Pass Liquefaction and KOGAS entered into Amendment No. 1 of LNG Sale and Purchase Agreement.  Amendment No. 1 amends the SPA entered into on January 30, 2012 between Sabine Pass Liquefaction and KOGAS to provide, among other things, that Sabine Pass Liquefaction will designate the date of the first commercial delivery of LNG from Train 3 within the 180-day period commencing 48 months after the date the conditions precedent have been satisfied or waived.  The amendment aligns the start date of the KOGAS SPA with the completion dates in the EPC Contract (Train 3 and Train 4).  In addition, Amendment No. 1 provides that the requirement that certain conditions precedent, including, but not limited to, receiving regulatory approvals, securing necessary financing arrangements and making a final investment decision to construct Train 3 be satisfied or waived on or prior to December 31, 2013, rather than June 30, 2013.

Amendment to SPA with GAIL

On February 18, 2013, Sabine Pass Liquefaction and GAIL entered into Amendment No. 1 of LNG Sale and Purchase Agreement.  Amendment No. 1 amends the SPA entered into on December 11, 2011 between Sabine Pass Liquefaction and GAIL to provide, among other things, that Sabine Pass Liquefaction will designate the date of the first commercial delivery of LNG from Train 4 within the 180-day period commencing 57 months after the date the conditions precedent have been satisfied or waived.  The amendment aligns the start date of the GAIL SPA with the completion dates in the EPC Contract (Train 3 and Train 4).  In addition, Amendment No. 1 provides that the requirement that certain conditions precedent, including, but not limited to, receiving regulatory approvals, securing necessary financing arrangements and making a final investment decision to construct Train 4 be satisfied or waived on or prior to December 31, 2013, rather than June 30, 2013.

Compliance Disclosure

Pursuant to Section 13(r) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), if during 2012, we or any of our affiliates have engaged in certain transactions with Iran or with persons or entities designated under certain executive orders, we would be required to disclose information regarding such transactions in our Annual Report on Form 10-K as required under Section 219 of the Iran Threat Reduction and Syria Human Rights Act of 2012 (“ITRA”). During 2012, we did not engage in any transactions with Iran or with persons or entities related to Iran.

Blackstone CQP HoldCo LP (“Blackstone”) is a holder of approximately 30% of the outstanding equity interests of Cheniere Energy Partners, L.P. (“Cheniere Partners”) and has two representatives on Cheniere Partners' Board of Directors and the right to appoint a third representative. Accordingly, Blackstone may be deemed an “affiliate” of Cheniere Partners, as that term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 12b-2. Subsequent to the initial filing of our Annual Report on Form 10-K, we received notice from Blackstone that it had determined to include in its Annual Report on Form 10-K disclosures pursuant to ITRA regarding at least two of its portfolio companies that may be deemed to be affiliates of Blackstone. Because of the broad definition of “affiliate” in Exchange Act Rule 12b-2, these portfolio companies of Blackstone, through Blackstone's ownership of Cheniere Partners, may also be deemed to be affiliates of ours. Accordingly, we note that the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012 filed by TRW Automotive Holdings Corp. (“TRW”) states that one of its non-U.S. subsidiaries sold products to customers that could be affiliated with, or deemed to be acting on behalf of, the Industrial Development and Renovation Organization, which has been designated as an agency of the Government of Iran and that gross revenue attributable to such sales was approximately $8,326,000 and net profit from such sales was approximately $377,000; TRW also states that those activities have been discontinued. We have also received notice from Blackstone that Travelport Limited (“Travelport”), as part of its global business in the travel industry, provides certain passenger travel-related GDS and airline IT services to Iran Air and airline IT services to Iran Air Tours. No information was provided to us with respect to the gross revenues and net profits attributable to such activities, but we also received notice from Blackstone that Travelport intends to continue these business activities as such activities are either exempt from applicable sanctions prohibitions or specifically licensed by the U.S. Office of Foreign Assets Control. We have not independently verified the disclosures described in this paragraph.
