SCHEDULE 6.1

SEPARATENESS

Sabine Pass Liquefaction, LLC (solely for purposes of this Schedule 6.1, the “Company”) shall conduct its business separate and apart from any Affiliate thereof, other than any Restricted Subsidiary, in accordance with the following:

It shall segregate its property and not allow funds or other assets thereof to be commingled with the funds or other assets of, held by, or registered in the name of, any member of the Company, any other Affiliate of the Company, other than any Restricted Subsidiary, or any other Person (other than any Restricted Subsidiary) except that the bank accounts established pursuant to the Accounts Agreement may be in the name of the Common Security Trustee or a Restricted Subsidiary.

It shall maintain its assets in such a manner that it is not costly or difficult to segregate, identify or ascertain such assets.

It shall prepare and maintain its own separate books and financial records and statements, showing its assets and liabilities separate and apart from the books and financial records and statements of any member of the Company, any other Affiliate of the Company or any other Person (other than any Restricted Subsidiary); except that the Company’s assets may be included in consolidated financial statements of its Affiliates so long as appropriate notation is made on such consolidated financial statements to indicate the separateness of the Company from such Affiliate and to disclose the separate nature of the Company’s indebtedness.

(A) It shall prepare and file its own tax returns separate from those of any Person (other than any Restricted Subsidiary) except to the extent that the Company is treated as a “disregarded entity” for tax purposes and is not required to file tax returns under applicable law, and (B) pay any taxes required to be paid by applicable law.

It shall observe all limited liability company procedures necessary to maintain its separate existence and formalities, including without limitation, (i) maintaining minutes or records of meetings of the Member(s) and Managers of the Company, (ii) acting on behalf of itself only pursuant to due authorization of the Managers and/or Member(s), including, when applicable, the Independent Manager (as defined in that certain First Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of the Company dated as of July 31, 2012), and (iii) conducting its own business in its own name and through authorized agents pursuant to its organizational documents.

It shall pay its liabilities and expenses out of its own assets or the assets of its Restricted Subsidiaries.

6.1- 1

It shall conduct its dealings with third parties in its own name and as a legal entity separate, distinct and independent from any other entity.

It shall not guarantee any debts of its Affiliates (other than a Restricted Subsidiary) nor allow any of its Affiliates (other than a Restricted Subsidiary) to guarantee any debts of the Company except (A) the guarantee by the Sponsor of the Company’s obligations under the Sabine Pass TUA, (B) the pledge of any Member’s equity interest in the Company under the Pledge Agreement to secure the obligations of the Company under certain of the Financing Documents, (C) the pledge of any interest in a Restricted Subsidiary pursuant to the Security Documents and (D) certain customary indemnities contained in or contemplated by the Transaction Documents. It shall not acquire or assume obligations or securities of, or make loans or advances to, any of its Affiliates except as permitted or contemplated by the Transaction Documents.

It shall maintain adequate capitalization in light of its contemplated business and obligations; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not require any Member to make additional capital contributions to the Company.

It shall directly manage its own liabilities and pay the salaries of its own employees, if any, and maintain a sufficient number of employees in light of its contemplated business operations, which operations may be carried out pursuant to agreements with Affiliates or others that comply with the requirements of the Financing Documents. It shall not permit employees of the Company, if any, to participate in or receive payroll benefits or pension plans of or from any of its Affiliates.

It shall allocate and charge fairly and reasonably any common employee or overhead for shared office space.

It shall use separate stationery, invoices and checks.

It shall maintain separate bank accounts in its own name, the name of Restricted Subsidiary or in the name of the Common Security Trustee and all investments made by or on behalf of the Company shall be made solely in its name or the name of a Restricted Subsidiary (except as required under the Accounts Agreement).

It shall not enter into any transaction with any Affiliate except on an arm’s-length basis on terms that are no less favorable than would be available in comparable transactions with unaffiliated third parties (or, if no comparable transactions with unaffiliated third parties would be available, then on terms that are determined by a Majority of the Managers to be fair in light of all factors considered by the Managers to be pertinent to the Company), and shall (A) have been approved in accordance with its organizational documents, (B) otherwise comply with the provisions of the Financing Documents and (C) be pursuant to written, enforceable agreements.

6.1- 2

It shall hold itself out as a separate entity and shall correct any misunderstanding regarding its separate entity status of which the Company has actual knowledge.

Provided, however, that none of the foregoing covenants shall prohibit the Company from entering into the Financing Documents and complying with the obligations thereunder.

6.1- 3
