74% of Regency’s 2006 volumetric contract mix is fee-based
— Fees earned are volume driven and typically not affected by short-term changes in commodity prices
Regency has reduced its risk profile by successfully renegotiating keep-whole contracts into fee-based or POP contracts
Remaining keep-whole contracts commonly include one or more risk mitigants, such as
— Embedded fees
— Embedded discounts
— Conditioning floors
— Bypassability
Favorable contract mix and structure

Regency actively manages its commodity price exposure via an integrated strategy, including:
— Management of contract portfolio
— Matching indices used for purchases and sales of commodities
— Portfolio optimization by monitoring basis and other price differentials
— Derivative contracts
Regency uses swap contracts settled against natural gas, WTI, ethane, propane, butane, and natural gasoline to mitigate its exposure to commodity prices
As a result of Regency’s portfolio of contracts, the Company is a net seller of NGLs, condensate, and natural gas
