Management is responsible for the Company’s compliance with the applicable servicing criteria. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on management’s assertion about the Company’s compliance withthe applicable servicing criteria based on our examination. 

Our examination was conducted in accordance with attestation standards established by theAmerican Institute of Certified Public Accountants, as adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), and, accordingly, included examining, on a test basis, evidence about the Company’s compliance with the applicableservicing criteria, including tests on a sample basis of the servicing activities related to the 2012 Senior Secured Transition Bonds, determining whether the Company performed those selected activities in compliance with the applicable servicingcriteria during the specified period, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. Further, an examination is not designed to detect noncompliance arising from errors that may have occurred prior to theperiod specified above that may have affected the balances or amounts calculated or reported by the Company during the period covered by this report. We believe that our examination provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. Our examination doesnot provide a legal determination on the Company’s compliance with the applicable servicing criteria. 

Our examination disclosed the followingmaterial noncompliance with the applicable servicing criteria during the year ended December 31, 2014. The Company failed to remit transition charges collected from one of its customers in accordance with criterion 1122(d)(2)(i). 

In our opinion, except for the material noncompliance described in the preceding paragraph, management’s assertion that the Company complied with theaforementioned applicable servicing criteria as of and for the year ended December 31, 2014 for the approximately $1,695 million original principal amount of CenterPoint Energy Transition Bond Company IV, LLC’s transition bonds is fairlystated, in all material respects. 

Management’s assertion includes management’s responses to the material noncompliance identified in ourexamination. Such responses have not been subjected to the procedures applied in our examination and, accordingly, we do not express an opinion or provide any form of assurance on the appropriateness of the responses or the effectiveness of anycorrective actions described therein.
