Item 1.01

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On June 25, 2007, Sabine Pass LNG, L.P. (“Sabine Pass”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Cheniere Energy Partners, L.P., entered into an amendment (the “Amendment”) to that certain Amended and Restated LNG Terminal Use Agreement, dated November 9, 2006, with Cheniere Marketing, Inc. (“Cheniere Marketing”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Cheniere Energy, Inc. Pursuant to the terms of the Amendment, Cheniere Marketing increased its LNG storage capacity at the Sabine Pass LNG receiving terminal to the LNG equivalent of at least 6.9 billion cubic feet. In addition, the Amendment modified Sabine Pass’ obligation to construct, at its sole expense, a sixth LNG storage tank for Cheniere Marketing. Instead, Sabine Pass will construct the additional tank, subject to receipt of all required governmental and lender approvals, upon agreement with Cheniere Marketing of mutually acceptable terms and conditions, including financing. If no such acceptable agreement is reached, Sabine Pass will still be obligated to construct the additional tank, subject to receipt of all required governmental and lender approvals, if Cheniere Marketing directly or indirectly commits to provide, at its sole cost, all necessary construction funding reasonably acceptable to Sabine Pass.
