The long-term debt of Constellation Energy and BGE do not contain material adverse change clauses. We detail our long-term debt in the table above. Constellation Energy Mandatorily Redeemable Series B Preferred Stock On December 17, 2008, Constellation Energy entered into an Investment Agreement with EDF. Simultaneously with the execution of the Investment Agreement, Constellation Energy issued 10,000 shares of 8% Series B Preferred Stock (Series B Preferred Stock) to EDF for $1 billion, which was restricted for the repayment of our 14% Senior Notes. On November 6, 2009, the date EDF completed the purchase of the 49.99% interest in CENG pursuant to the Investment Agreement, EDF surrendered to Constellation Energy all of the shares of the Series B Preferred Stock as partial payment for the purchase of the interest in CENG. Upstream Gas Property Asset-Based Lending Agreement In July 2009, we entered into a three year asset-based lending agreement associated with certain upstream gas properties that we own. At December 31, 2009, the borrowing base committed under the facility was $100 million, of which $27.1 million has been utilized and reflected in "Long-term debt" in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. The size of the facility may be increased up to $200 million with additional commitments by the lenders. Any debt issued under this facility is secured by the upstream gas properties, and the lenders do not have recourse against Constellation Energy in the event of a default. Interest is payable quarterly in March, June, September, and December.         This asset-based lending agreement contains a provision that requires certain of our entities that own our upstream gas properties to maintain a current ratio of one-to-one. As of December 31, 2009, these entities were in compliance with this provision. Voluntary Debt Retirements The repurchase of the following notes is part of our previously announced commitment to repay $1 billion of debt following the close of our transaction with EDF in November 2009. Zero Coupon Senior Notes In November 2009, we redeemed an aggregate principal amount of $267.6 million for the Zero Coupon Senior Notes early and recognized a pre-tax loss on redemption of $16.0 million. We recorded the loss within "Interest expense" in the Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss). Cash Tender Offer for Outstanding 7.00% Notes due April 1, 2012 In February 2010, we retired an aggregate principal amount of $486.5 million of our 7.00% Notes due April 1, 2012 pursuant to a cash tender offer, at a premium of approximately 11%. Tax-Exempt Notes During 2009, we retired approximately $150 million of variable rate tax exempt notes prior to maturity. On February 15, 2010, we issued a notice to call our outstanding $47 million and $65 million variable rate tax-exempt notes. These notes are expected to be repurchased on March 10, 2010. Since these notes are variable rate instruments, we do not expect to record any gain or loss upon repurchase. BGE Secured Indenture BGE entered into a secured indenture in July 2009. The secured indenture creates a first priority lien on substantially all of BGE's electric utility distribution equipment and fixtures and on BGE's franchises, permits, and licenses that are transferable and necessary for the operation of the equipment and fixtures. As of December 31, 2009, BGE has not issued any secured bonds under this indenture. BGE's Rate Stabilization Bonds In June 2007, BondCo, a subsidiary of BGE, issued an aggregate principal amount of $623.2 million of rate stabilization bonds to recover deferred power purchase costs. We discuss BondCo in more detail in Note 4. Below are the details of the rate stabilization bonds at December 31, 2009: <div style="PADDING-RIGHT: 0pt; PADDING-LEFT: 0pt; PADDING-BOTTOM: 0pt; MARGIN-LEFT: 10%; WIDTH: 80%; PADDING-TOP: 0pt; POSITION: relative">   <div align="center"> <table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="100%" border="0"> <tr style="HEIGHT: 0px"> <td style="FONT-FAMILY: times" align="left"></td> <td style="FONT-FAMILY: times" width="12"></td> <td style="FONT-FAMILY: times" align="right" width="6"></td> <td style="FONT-FAMILY: times" width="63"></td> <td style="FONT-FAMILY: times" width="12"></td> <td style="FONT-FAMILY: times" align="right" width="70"></td></tr> <tr style="HEIGHT: 0px" valign="bottom"> <th style="FONT-FAMILY: times" align="left">Principal </th> <th style="FONT-FAMILY: times"> </th> <th style="FONT-FAMILY: times" align="center" colspan="2">Interest Rate </th> <th style="FONT-FAMILY: times"> </th> <th style="FONT-FAMILY: times" align="center">Scheduled Maturity Date </th></tr> <tr style="FONT-SIZE: 1.5pt; HEIGHT: 0px" valign="bottom"> <th style="BORDER-BOTTOM: #000000 1pt solid; FONT-FAMILY: times" align="center" colspan="6"> </th></tr> <tr style="HEIGHT: 0px" valign="top" bgcolor="#CCEEFF"> <td style="FONT-FAMILY: times" valign="bottom"> $171.7</td> <td style="FONT-FAMILY: times" valign="bottom"> </td> <td style="FONT-FAMILY: times" valign="bottom"> </td> <td style="FONT-FAMILY: times" valign="bottom" align="right">5.47</td> <td style="FONT-FAMILY: times" valign="bottom">%</td> <td style="FONT-FAMILY: times" valign="bottom" align="right">October 2012</td></tr> <tr style="HEIGHT: 0px" valign="top" bgcolor="white"> <td style="FONT-FAMILY: times" valign="bottom"> 220.0</td> <td style="FONT-FAMILY: times" valign="bottom"> </td> <td style="FONT-FAMILY: times" valign="bottom"> </td> <td style="FONT-FAMILY: times" valign="bottom" align="right">5.72</td> <td style="FONT-FAMILY: times" valign="bottom"> </td> <td style="FONT-FAMILY: times" valign="bottom" align="right">April 2016</td></tr> <tr style="HEIGHT: 0px" valign="top" bgcolor="#CCEEFF"> <td style="FONT-FAMILY: times" valign="bottom"> 119.2</td> <td style="FONT-FAMILY: times" valign="bottom"> </td> <td style="FONT-FAMILY: times" valign="bottom"> </td> <td style="FONT-FAMILY: times" valign="bottom" align="right">5.82</td> <td style="FONT-FAMILY: times" valign="bottom"> </td> <td style="FONT-FAMILY: times" valign="bottom" align="right">April 2017</td></tr></table></div> </div>         The bonds are secured primarily by a usage-based, non-bypassable charge payable by all of BGE's residential electric customers over a ten year period. The charges will be adjusted semi-annually to ensure that the aggregate charges collected are sufficient to pay principal and interest on the bonds, as well as certain on-going costs of administering and servicing the bonds. BondCo cannot use the charges collected to satisfy any other obligations. BondCo's assets are not assets of any affiliate and are not available to pay creditors of any affiliate of BondCo. If BondCo is unable to make principal and interest payments on the bonds, neither Constellation Energy, nor BGE, are required to make the payments on behalf of BondCo. BGE's Other Long-Term Debt On July 1, 2000, BGE transferred $278.0 million of tax-exempt debt to our merchant energy business related to the transferred generating assets. At December 31, 2009, BGE remains contingently liable for the $20 million outstanding balance of this debt.         BGE's fixed-rate medium-term note, series E, outstanding at December 31, 2009 has a weighted average interest rate of 6.71%, maturing between 2011 and 2012. BGE Deferrable Interest Subordinated Debentures On November 21, 2003, BGE Capital Trust II (BGE Trust II), a Delaware statutory trust established by BGE, issued 10,000,000 Trust Preferred Securities for $250 million ($25 liquidation amount per preferred security) with a distribution rate of 6.20%.         BGE Trust II used the net proceeds from the issuance of common securities to BGE and the Trust Preferred Securities to purchase a series of 6.20% Deferrable Interest Subordinated Debentures due October 15, 2043 (6.20% debentures) from BGE in the aggregate principal amount of $257.7 million with the same terms as the Trust Preferred Securities. BGE Trust II must redeem the Trust Preferred Securities at $25 per preferred security plus accrued but unpaid distributions when the 6.20% debentures are paid at maturity or upon any earlier redemption. BGE has the option to redeem the 6.20% debentures at any time on or after November 21, 2008 or at any time when certain tax or other events occur.         BGE Trust II will use the interest paid on the 6.20% debentures to make distributions on the Trust Preferred Securities. The 6.20% debentures are the only assets of BGE Trust II.         BGE fully and unconditionally guarantees the Trust Preferred Securities based on its various obligations relating to the trust agreement, indentures, 6.20% debentures, and the preferred security guarantee agreement.         For the payment of dividends and in the event of liquidation of BGE, the 6.20% debentures are ranked prior to preference stock and common stock. Loan Agreement On December 18, 2001, BGE's subsidiary, District Chilled Water Partnership (ComfortLink) entered into a $25.0 million loan agreement with the Maryland Energy Financing Administration (MEFA). The terms of the loan exactly match the terms of variable rate, tax exempt bonds due December 1, 2031 issued by MEFA for ComfortLink to finance the cost of building a chilled water distribution system.         These bonds were repurchased in June 2009. Maturities of Long-Term Debt As of December 31, 2009, our long-term borrowings mature on the following schedule: <div style="PADDING-RIGHT: 0pt; PADDING-LEFT: 0pt; PADDING-BOTTOM: 0pt; MARGIN-LEFT:
