The Company uses MNAs for OTC derivative transactions that permit either party to net payments due for transactions
and collateral is either pledged or obtained when certain predetermined exposure limits are exceeded. As of
December 31, 2011, counterparties pledged $64 million in cash and securities to the Company, and the Company
pledged $82 million in cash and securities to counterparties which includes $76 million of collateral posted under
MNAs for contracts containing credit-risk-contingent provisions that are in a liability position and $6 million of collateral
posted under MNAs for contracts without credit-risk-contingent liabilities. The Company has not incurred any losses on
