In conjunction with maintaining certain exchange traded risk management positions, the Company may be required to post cash collateral with its
clearing agent. The Company has a demand financing agreement for up to $100 million with its clearing agent. The agreement, as amended, also allows for
up to $50 million of additional margin financing provided that the Company posts a letter of credit for the incremental amount. At December 31, 2014, a $50
million letter of credit was in place, raising the capacity under this facility to $150 million. The $50 million letter of credit is included in the table above. The
amount outstanding under this agreement was $37 million and $138 million at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Certain of the Company’s credit facilities contain a provision requiring the Company to maintain a total funded debt to capitalization ratio, as defined
in the agreements, of no more than 0.65 to 1, which has the effect of limiting the amount of dividends the Company can pay in order to maintain compliance
with this provision. The effect of this provision was to restrict the payment of approximately $730 million at December 31, 2014 of total retained earnings of
approximately $4.6 billion. There are no other effective limitations with respect to the Company’s ability to pay dividends.
