 The seller will represent and warrant in the sale agreement that the transfer of the recovery property to us under that sale agreement is a valid sale and assignment of that recovery property from the seller to us. The seller will also represent, warrant, and covenant that it will take the appropriate actions under the Wildfire Financing Law to perfect this sale. The Wildfire Financing Law provides that the transactions described in the sale agreement shall constitute a sale of the recovery property to us, and the seller and we will treat the transaction as a sale under applicable law, although for financial reporting and tax reporting purposes the transaction will be treated as debt of the seller. If the seller were to become a debtor in a bankruptcy case, and a party in interest (including the seller itself) were to take the position that the sale of the recovery property to us should be recharacterized as the grant of a security interest in such recovery property to secure a borrowing of the seller, delays in payments on the bonds could result. If a court were to adopt such position, then delays or reductions in payments on the bonds could result. Pursuant to the Wildfire Financing Law and the financing order, upon the sale of the recovery property, the recovery property is created as a current property right, and it thereafter continuously exists as property for all purposes. Nonetheless, if the seller were to become the debtor in a bankruptcy case, a party in interest (including the seller itself) may take the position that, because the fixed recovery charges are usage-based charges, recovery property comes into existence only as customers use electricity. If a court were to adopt this position, no assurance can be given that the court would not also rule that any recovery property relating to electricity consumed after the commencement of the seller’s bankruptcy case was not required to be transferred to us, thus resulting in delays or reductions of payments on the bonds. A bankruptcy court generally follows state property law on issues such as those addressed by the state law provisions described above. However, a bankruptcy court does not follow state law if it determines that the state law is contrary to a paramount federal bankruptcy policy or interest. If a bankruptcy court in a SCE bankruptcy refused to enforce one or more of the state property law provisions described above, the effect of this decision on you as a beneficial owner of the bonds might be similar to the treatment you would receive in a SCE bankruptcy if the bonds had been issued directly by SCE. A decision by the bankruptcy court that, despite our separateness from SCE, our assets and liabilities and those of SCE should be consolidated would have
