Trading Considerations
� Maritime issues in transportation– Scheduling, diversions, force majeure
� LNG terminals as a gas asset– Storage, sendout, pipeline interconnections
� Regulatory considerations– Hackberry rule, EPAct 2005, anti-manipulation legislation
� Role of conventional assets– Underground storage, pipeline transport, power generation
� Valuing destination options� Services for the supply community
– “Put” rights, ratability services, bundled risk management

All statements, other than statements of historical facts, included herein are “forward-looking statements.” Included among “forward-looking statements” are, among other things:
� statements that we expect to commence or complete construction of each or any of our proposed liquefied natural gas, or LNG, receiving terminals by certain dates, or at all;
� statements that we expect to receive authorization from the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, or FERC, to construct and operate proposed LNG receiving terminals by a certain date, or at all;
� statements regarding future levels of domestic natural gas production and consumption, or the future level of LNG imports into North America, or regarding projected future capacity of liquefaction or regasification, liquifaction utilization or total monthly LNG trade facilities worldwide, regardless of the source of such information
� statements regarding any financing transactions or arrangements, whether on the part of Cheniere or at the project level;� statements relating to the construction of our proposed LNG receiving terminals, including statements concerning estimated costs, and the
