  the risk 
  shareholder value. We design and implement 
  management strategies discussed below to ensure our risks and the related 
  exposures are consistent with our business objectives and risk tolerance. 
  
  Credit risk related to our Debt Derivatives, Expenditure Derivatives and 
  Equity Derivatives (Derivatives) arises from the possibility that 
  the 
  counterparties to the agreements may default on their obligations. We 
  assess the creditworthiness of the counterparties to minimize the risk of 
  counterparty default, and do not require collateral or other security to 
  support the credit risk associated with these Derivatives. The entire 
  portfolio of our Derivatives is held by financial 
  institutions with a 
  Standard & Poor’s rating (or the equivalent) ranging from A- to AA-.
