(a) Amounts borrowed are recorded as "Short-term debt" on the Balance Sheets.

(b) In December 2012, the PPL WW syndicated credit facility that was set to expire in January 2013 was replaced and the capacity was increased from £150 million.

(c) PPL WW's amounts borrowed at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 were USD-denominated borrowings of $171 million, which equated to £112 million and £106 million at the time of borrowings and bore interest at 1.90% and 0.85%. WPD (East Midlands) amount borrowed at June 30, 2013 was a GBP-denominated borrowing of £47 million, which equated to $71 million and bore interest at 1.30%. WPD (West Midlands) amount borrowed at June 30, 2013 was a GBP-denominated borrowing of £34 million, which equated to $52 million and bore interest at 1.30%.

(d) At June 30, 2013, the USD equivalent of unused capacity under WPD's credit facilities was $1.4 billion.

(e) In February 2013, PPL Energy Supply extended the expiration date from March 2013 and, effective April 2013, the capacity was reduced from $200 million.

(f) PPL Electric participates in an asset-backed commercial paper program through which PPL Electric obtains financing by selling and contributing its eligible accounts receivable and unbilled revenue to a special purpose, wholly owned subsidiary on an ongoing basis. The subsidiary has pledged these assets to secure loans from a commercial paper conduit sponsored by a financial institution.

At June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, $272 million and $238 million of accounts receivable and $74 million and $106 million of unbilled revenue were pledged by the subsidiary under the credit agreement related to PPL Electric's and the subsidiary's participation in the asset-backed commercial paper program. Based on the accounts receivable and unbilled revenue pledged at June 30, 2013, the amount available for borrowing under the facility was $100 million. PPL Electric's sale to its subsidiary of the accounts receivable and unbilled revenue is an absolute sale of assets, and PPL Electric does not retain an interest in these assets. However, for financial reporting purposes, the subsidiary's financial results are consolidated in PPL Electric's financial statements. PPL Electric performs certain record-keeping and cash collection functions with respect to the assets in return for a servicing fee from the subsidiary.

(g) In May 2013, KU extended the letter of credit facility from April 2014.
