non-guarantor Subsidiary
from CQP, (ii) that it has purchased the notes from CQP in
reliance upon the separateness of such non-guarantor Subsidiary from CQP,
(iii) that each such Subsidiary may have assets and
liabilities that are separate from those of CQP, (iv) that the
Note Obligations have not been guaranteed by such non-guarantor Subsidiaries or any of
their respective Subsidiaries and (v) that, except as other
Persons may expressly assume or guarantee any of the Note Documents
or Note Obligations, the Holders shall look solely to the property
and assets of CQP and the Subsidiary Guarantors, and any property
pledged as Collateral with respect to the Note Documents, for the
repayment of any amounts payable under any Note Document or the
notes and for satisfaction of the Note Obligations and that none of
the non-guarantor
Subsidiaries or any of their respective Subsidiaries shall be
personally liable to the Holders for any amounts payable, or any
other Note Obligation, under the Note Documents.
