We maintain cash balances at financial institutions, which may at times be in excess of federally insured levels.

Certain of our commodity derivative transactions are executed through over-the-counter contracts which are subject to nominal credit risk as these transactions are settled on a daily margin basis with investment grade financial institutions. Collateral deposited for such contracts is recorded within other current assets. Our interest rate and FX derivative instruments are placed with investment grade financial institutions whom we believe are acceptable credit risks. We monitor counterparty creditworthiness on an ongoing basis; however, we cannot predict sudden changes in counterparties’ creditworthiness. In addition, even if such changes are not sudden, we may be limited in our ability to mitigate an increase in counterparty credit risk. Should one of these counterparties not perform, we may not realize the benefit of some of our derivative instruments.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:36px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"><br clear="none"/></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:justify;text-indent:36px;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">SPL has entered into fixed price SPAs with terms of at least </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">20</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> years with </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">seven</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> unaffiliated third parties, CCL has entered into fixed price SPAs generally with terms of </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">20</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> years with </font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;">nine</font><font style="font-family:inherit;font-size:10pt;"> unaffiliated third parties and our integrated marketing function has entered into a limited number of long-term SPAs with unaffiliated third parties.
