Officer on the Recovery Bonds may be manual, electronic or facsimile.

receipt of an Issuer Order the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, Temporary Recovery Bonds which are printed, lithographed, typewritten, mimeographed or otherwise produced, of the tenor of the Definitive Recovery Bonds in lieu of
which they are issued and with such variations not inconsistent with the terms of this Indenture as the officers executing the Recovery Bonds may determine, as evidenced by their execution of the Recovery Bonds. 

(b) If Temporary Recovery Bonds are issued, the Issuer will cause Definitive Recovery Bonds to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After
the preparation of Definitive Recovery Bonds, the Temporary Recovery Bonds shall be exchangeable for Definitive Recovery Bonds upon surrender of the Temporary Recovery Bonds at the office or agency of the Issuer to be maintained as provided in
Section 3.02, without charge to the Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more Temporary Recovery Bonds, the Issuer shall execute and the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor
a like principal amount of Definitive Recovery Bonds of authorized denominations. Until so exchanged, the Temporary Recovery Bonds shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as Definitive Recovery Bonds.

reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Issuer shall provide for the registration of Recovery Bonds and the registration of transfers of Recovery Bonds. The Indenture Trustee shall be “Recovery Bond Registrar” for the
purpose of registering Recovery Bonds and transfers of Recovery Bonds as herein provided. Upon any resignation of any Recovery Bond Registrar, the Issuer shall promptly appoint a successor or, if it elects not to make such an appointment, assume the
duties of Recovery Bond Registrar. 
 (b) If a Person other than the Indenture Trustee is appointed by the Issuer as Recovery Bond Registrar,
the Issuer will give the Indenture Trustee prompt written notice of the appointment of such Recovery Bond Registrar and of the location, and any change in the location, of the Recovery Bond Register, and the Indenture Trustee shall have the right to
inspect the Recovery Bond Register at all reasonable times and to obtain copies thereof, and the Indenture Trustee shall have the right to rely conclusively upon a certificate executed on behalf of the Recovery Bond Registrar by a Responsible
Officer thereof as to the names and addresses of the Holders and the principal amounts and number of the Recovery Bonds (separately stated by Tranche). 

(c) Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Recovery Bond at the office or agency of the Issuer to be maintained as provided in
Section 3.02, provided that the requirements of Section 8-401 of the UCC are met, the Issuer shall execute, and the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and the Holder shall
obtain from the Indenture Trustee, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Recovery Bonds in any Minimum Denominations, of the same Tranche and aggregate principal amount. 

(d) At the option of the Holder, Recovery Bonds may be exchanged for other Recovery Bonds in any Minimum Denominations, of the same Tranche and
aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of the Recovery Bonds to be exchanged at such office or agency as provided in Section 3.02. Whenever any Recovery Bonds are so surrendered for exchange, the Issuer shall, provided
that the requirements of Section 8-401 of the UCC are met, execute and, upon any such execution, the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and the Holder shall obtain from the Indenture Trustee, the
Recovery Bonds which the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive. 
 (e) All Recovery Bonds issued upon any registration of
transfer or exchange of other Recovery Bonds shall be the valid obligations of the Issuer, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Recovery Bonds surrendered upon such registration of transfer or
exchange. 
 (f) Every Recovery Bond presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be duly endorsed by, or be
accompanied by (A) a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee duly executed by the Holder thereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, with such signature guaranteed by an institution

 (g) No service charge shall be made to a Holder for any registration of transfer or exchange
of Recovery Bonds, but the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge or any fees or expenses of the Indenture Trustee that may be imposed in connection with any registration
of transfer or exchange of Recovery Bonds, other than exchanges pursuant to Sections 2.04 or 2.06 not involving any transfer. 

(h) The preceding provisions of this Section 2.05 notwithstanding, the Issuer shall not be required to make, and the
Recovery Bond Registrar need not register transfers or exchanges of any Recovery Bond that has been submitted within fifteen (15) days preceding the due date for any payment with respect to such Recovery Bond until after such due date has
occurred. 
 SECTION 2.06. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Recovery Bonds. 

(a) If (i) any mutilated Recovery Bond is surrendered to the Indenture Trustee, or the Indenture Trustee receives evidence to its
satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Recovery Bond and (ii) there is delivered to the Indenture Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by it to hold the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee harmless, then, in the
absence of notice to the Issuer, the Recovery Bond Registrar or the Indenture Trustee that such Recovery Bond has been acquired by a Protected Purchaser, the Issuer shall, provided that the requirements of
Section 8-401 of the UCC are met, execute and, upon the Issuer’s written request, the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed,
lost or stolen Recovery Bond, a replacement Recovery Bond of like Tranche, tenor and principal amount, bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding; provided, however, that if any such destroyed, lost or stolen Recovery Bond, but
not a mutilated Recovery Bond, shall have become or within seven (7) days shall be due and payable, instead of issuing a replacement Recovery Bond, the Issuer may pay such destroyed, lost or stolen Recovery Bond when so due or payable without
surrender thereof. If, after the delivery of such replacement Recovery Bond or payment of a destroyed, lost or stolen Recovery Bond pursuant to the proviso to the preceding sentence, a Protected Purchaser of the original Recovery Bond in lieu of
which such replacement Recovery Bond was issued presents for payment such original Recovery Bond, the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to recover such replacement Recovery Bond (or such payment) from the Person to whom it was
delivered or any Person taking such replacement Recovery Bond from such Person to whom such replacement Recovery Bond was delivered or any assignee of such Person, except a Protected Purchaser, and shall be entitled to recover upon the security or
indemnity provided therefor to the extent of any loss, damage, cost or expense incurred by the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee in connection therewith. 

(b) Upon the issuance of any replacement Recovery Bond under this Section 2.06, the Issuer and/or the Indenture
Trustee may require the payment by the Holder of such Recovery Bond of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other reasonable expenses (including the fees and expenses of the
Indenture Trustee and the Recovery Bond Registrar) connected therewith. 

  
 7 













 (c) Every replacement Recovery Bond issued pursuant to this
Section 2.06 in replacement of any mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Recovery Bond shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Issuer, whether or not the mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen
Recovery Bond shall be found at any time or enforced by any Person, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Recovery Bonds duly issued hereunder. 

(d) The provisions of this Section 2.06 are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and
remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Recovery Bonds. 
 SECTION 2.07.
Persons Deemed Owner. 
 Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer of any Recovery Bond, the Issuer, the Indenture
Trustee, the Recovery Bond Registrar and any agent of the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee may treat the Person in whose name any Recovery Bond is registered (as of the day of determination) as the owner of such Recovery Bond for the purpose of
receiving payments of principal of and premium, if any, and interest on such Recovery Bond and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Recovery Bond be overdue, and neither the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee nor any agent of the Issuer
or the Indenture Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 
 SECTION 2.08. Payment of Principal, Premium, if any, and
Interest; Interest on Overdue Principal; Principal, Premium, if any, and Interest Rights Preserved. 
 (a) The Recovery Bonds shall
accrue interest as provided in the Series Supplement at the applicable Recovery Bond Interest Rate, and such interest shall be payable on each applicable Payment Date. Any installment of interest, principal or premium, if any, payable on any
Recovery Bond which is punctually paid or duly provided for on the applicable Payment Date shall be paid to the Person in whose name such Recovery Bond (or one or more Predecessor Recovery Bonds) is registered on the Record Date for such Payment
Date by wire transfer to an account maintained by such Holder in accordance with payment instructions delivered to the Indenture Trustee by such Holder, except that with respect to Book-Entry Recovery Bonds, payments will be made by wire transfer in
immediately available funds to the account designated by the Holder of the applicable Global Recovery Bond unless and until such Global Recovery Bond is exchanged for Definitive Recovery Bonds (in which event payments shall be made as provided
above), and except for the final installment of principal and premium, if any, payable with respect to such Recovery Bond on a Payment Date which shall be payable as provided below. 

(b) The principal of each Recovery Bond of each Tranche shall be paid, to the extent funds are available therefor in the Collection Account, in
installments on each Payment Date as specified in the Series Supplement; provided that installments of principal not paid when scheduled to be paid in accordance with the Expected Amortization Schedule shall be paid upon receipt of money
available for such purpose, in the order set forth in Section 8.02(e). Failure to pay principal in accordance with such Expected Amortization Schedule because moneys are not available pursuant to
Section 8.02 to make such payments shall not constitute a Default or Event of Default under this Indenture; provided, however, that failure to pay the entire unpaid principal amount of


  
 8 













 
the Recovery Bonds of a Tranche upon the Final Maturity Date for the Recovery Bonds shall constitute a Default or Event of Default under this Indenture. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the entire
unpaid principal amount of the Recovery Bonds shall be due and payable, if not previously paid, on the date on which an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, if the Indenture Trustee or the Holders of the Recovery Bonds
representing not less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Recovery Bonds have declared the Recovery Bonds to be immediately due and payable in the manner provided in Section 5.02. All payments of principal and
premium, if any, on the Recovery Bonds shall be made pro rata to the Holders entitled thereto unless otherwise provided in the Series Supplement. Upon written notice from the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee shall notify the Person in whose name a
Recovery Bond is registered at the close of business on the Record Date preceding the Payment Date on which the Issuer expects that the final installment of principal of and premium, if any, and interest on such Recovery Bond will be paid. Such
notice shall be mailed no later than five (5) days prior to such final Payment Date and shall specify that such final installment will be payable only upon presentation and surrender of such Recovery Bond and shall specify the place where such
Recovery Bond may be presented and surrendered for payment of such installment. 
 (c) If interest on the Recovery Bonds is not paid when
due, such defaulted interest shall be paid (plus interest on such defaulted interest at the applicable Recovery Bond Interest Rate to the extent lawful) to the Persons who are Holders on a subsequent Special Record Date, which date shall be at least
fifteen (15) Business Days prior to the Special Payment Date. The Issuer shall fix or cause to be fixed any such Special Record Date and Special Payment Date, and, at least ten (10) days before any such Special Record Date, the Issuer
shall mail to each affected Holder a notice that states the Special Record Date, the Special Payment Date and the amount of defaulted interest (plus interest on such defaulted interest) to be paid. 

SECTION 2.09. Cancellation. 

All Recovery Bonds surrendered for payment, registration of transfer or exchange shall, if surrendered to any Person other than the Indenture
Trustee, be delivered to the Indenture Trustee and shall be promptly canceled by the Indenture Trustee. The Issuer may at any time deliver to the Indenture Trustee for cancellation any Recovery Bonds previously authenticated and delivered hereunder
which the Issuer may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and all Recovery Bonds so delivered shall be promptly canceled by the Indenture Trustee. No Recovery Bonds shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Recovery Bonds canceled
as provided in this Section 2.09, except as expressly permitted by this Indenture. All canceled Recovery Bonds may be held or disposed of by the Indenture Trustee in accordance with its standard retention or disposal policy
as in effect at the time.

consists of the rights and interests of the Seller in the relevant Financing

Order, including the right to impose, collect and receive certain charges (defined in the Wildfire Financing Law as “fixed recovery charges,” to be included in regular electric utility
bills of existing and future electric service Consumers within the service territory of PG&E, or its successors or assigns, as more fully described in the Financing Order. Under the laws of the State of California in effect on the Closing Date,
the State of California has agreed for the benefit of the Holders, pursuant to Section 850.1(e) of the Wildfire Financing Law, as follows: 

“The State of California does hereby pledge and agree with the electrical corporation, owners of recovery property, financing entities,
and holders of recovery bonds that the state shall neither limit nor alter, except as otherwise provided with respect to the true-up adjustment of the fixed recovery charges pursuant to subdivision [(g)] [of
Section 850.1], the fixed recovery charges, any associated fixed recovery tax amounts, recovery property, financing orders, or any rights under a financing order until the recovery bonds, together with the interest on the recovery bonds and
associated financing costs, are fully paid and discharged, and any associated fixed recovery tax amounts have been satisfied or, in the alternative, have been refinanced through an additional issue of recovery bonds, provided that nothing contained
in this section shall preclude the limitation or alteration if and when adequate provision shall be made by law for the protection of the electrical corporation and of owners and holders of the recovery bonds. The financing entity is authorized to
include this pledge and undertaking for the state in these recovery bonds.” 
 “Neither the full faith and credit nor the taxing
power of the State of California is pledged to the payment of the principal of, or interest on, this bond. The issuance of recovery bonds under this article [of the Wildfire Financing Law] shall not directly, indirectly, or contingently obligate the
state or any political subdivision thereof to levy or to pledge any form of taxation therefor or to make any appropriation for their payment.” 

The Issuer hereby acknowledges that the purchase of any Recovery Bond by a Holder or the purchase of any beneficial interest in a Recovery
Bond by any Person and the Indenture Trustee’s obligations to perform hereunder are made in reliance on such agreement and pledge by the State of California.

	 	(viii)	 the Issuer has not authorized the filing of and is not aware, after due inquiry, of any financing statements

	 	(x)	 (I) the Collection Account (including all subaccounts thereof, other than the Cash Subaccount) constitutes a
“securities account” within the meaning of the UCC and (II) the Cash Subaccount constitutes a “deposit account” within the meaning of the UCC; 



 

	 	(xi)	 the Issuer has taken all steps necessary to cause the Securities Intermediary of each such Securities Account
to identify in its records the Indenture Trustee as the Person having a Security Entitlement against the Securities Intermediary in such Securities Account, no Collection Account is in the name of any Person other than the Indenture Trustee, and the
Issuer has not consented to the Securities Intermediary of the Collection Account and the Indenture Trustee acting as “bank” with respect to the Cash Subaccount to comply with entitlement orders of any Person other than the Indenture
Trustee; and

 (b) Survival. The representations and warranties set forth in this Section 2.18 shall

event the Recovery Bond Collateral pledged to secure the Recovery Bonds has been exhausted and the Recovery Bonds have not been paid in full, then any and all amounts remaining due on the Recovery Bonds shall be extinguished and the Recovery Bonds
cancelled. To the extent that under any applicable law the Holder of a Recovery Bond or any owner of a security entitlement to a Bond is deemed to have an interest in assets of the Issuer other than the Recovery Bond Collateral (“Other
Issuer Assets”), such Holder or owner is deemed to have agreed that its interest in such Other Issuer Assets is fully subordinate to the claim against such Other Issuer Assets of the pledgees or grantees to which such Other Issuer Assets
are pledged or granted and is further deemed to have agreed that this agreement shall constitute a subordination agreement for purpose of Section 510(a) of the United States Bankruptcy Code.

payment of any amount due with respect to any Recovery Bond and remaining unclaimed for two (2) years after such amount has become due and payable shall be discharged from such trust and be paid to the Issuer on an Issuer Request; and, subject
to Section 10.16, the Holder of such Recovery Bond shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Issuer for payment thereof (but only to the extent of the amounts so paid to the Issuer), and all
liability of the Indenture Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money shall thereupon cease; provided, however, that the Indenture Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment, may

Proceeding for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, and may prosecute such Proceeding to judgment or final decree, and, subject to the limitations on recourse set forth herein, may enforce the same against the Issuer or other obligor upon
the Recovery Bonds and collect in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Issuer or other obligor upon the Recovery Bonds, wherever situated the moneys payable, or the Recovery Bond Collateral and the proceeds thereof, the whole amount
then due and payable on the Recovery Bonds for principal, premium, if any, and interest, with interest upon the overdue principal and premium, if any, and, to the extent payment at such rate of interest shall be legally enforceable, upon overdue

compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Indenture Trustee and its agents and counsel. 

  
 40 













 (b) If an Event of Default (other than Event of Default under clause (vii) of
Section 5.01) occurs and is continuing, the Indenture Trustee shall, as more particularly provided in Section 5.04, proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Holders, by such
appropriate Proceedings as the Indenture Trustee shall deem most effective to protect and enforce any such rights, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted
herein, or to enforce any other proper remedy or legal or equitable right vested in the Indenture Trustee by this Indenture and the Series Supplement or by law, including foreclosing or otherwise enforcing the Lien of the Recovery Bond Collateral
securing the Recovery Bonds or applying to a court of competent jurisdiction for sequestration of revenues arising with respect to the Recovery Property. 

(c) If an Event of Default under Section 5.01(a)(v) or (vi) has occurred and is continuing, the
Indenture Trustee, irrespective of whether the principal of any Recovery Bonds shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Indenture Trustee shall have made any demand pursuant to
the provisions of this Section 5.03, shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in any Proceedings related to such Event of Default or otherwise: 

 

	 	(i)	 to file and prove a claim or claims for the whole amount of principal, premium, if any, and interest owing and
unpaid in respect of the Recovery Bonds and to file such other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Indenture Trustee (including any claim for reasonable compensation to the Indenture Trustee and

compensation to the Indenture Trustee, each predecessor Indenture Trustee and their respective agents, attorneys and counsel, and all other expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Indenture Trustee and each predecessor
Indenture Trustee except as a result of negligence or bad faith. 

  
 41 













 (d) Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Indenture Trustee to authorize
or consent to or vote for or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Recovery Bonds or the rights of any Holder thereof or to authorize the Indenture Trustee to vote in
respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding except, as aforesaid, to vote for the election of a trustee in bankruptcy or similar Person. 

(e) All rights of action and of asserting claims under this Indenture, or under any of the Recovery Bonds, may be enforced by the Indenture
Trustee without the possession of any of the Recovery Bonds or the production thereof in any trial or other Proceedings relative thereto, and any such action or proceedings instituted by the Indenture Trustee shall be brought in its own name as
trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment, subject to the payment of the expenses, disbursements and compensation of the Indenture Trustee, each predecessor Indenture Trustee and their respective agents and attorneys, shall be for
the ratable benefit of the Holders of the Recovery Bonds. 
 (f) In any Proceedings brought by the Indenture Trustee (and also any
Proceedings involving the interpretation of any provision of this Indenture to which the Indenture Trustee shall be a party), the Indenture Trustee shall be held to represent all the Holders of the Recovery Bonds, and it shall not be necessary to
make any Holder a party to any such Proceedings. 
 SECTION 5.04. Remedies; Priorities. 

(a) If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default under clause (vii) of Section 5.01) shall have
occurred and be continuing, the Indenture Trustee may do one or more of the following (subject to Section 5.05): 
  

	 	(i)	 institute Proceedings in its own name and as trustee of an express trust for the collection of all amounts then
payable on the Recovery Bonds or under this Indenture with respect thereto, whether by declaration of acceleration or otherwise, and, subject to the limitations on recovery set forth herein, enforce any judgment obtained, and collect from the Issuer
or any other obligor moneys adjudged due upon the Recovery Bonds; 


  

	 	(ii)	 institute Proceedings from time to time for the complete or partial foreclosure of this Indenture with respect
to the Recovery Bond Collateral; 


  

	 	(iii)	 exercise any remedies of a secured party under the UCC, the Wildfire Financing Law or any other applicable law
and take any other appropriate action to protect and enforce the rights and remedies of the Indenture Trustee and the Holders of the Recovery Bonds; 


  

	 	(iv)	 at the written direction of the Holders of a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Recovery Bonds, sell the
Recovery Bond Collateral or any portion thereof or rights or interest therein, at one or more public or private sales called and conducted in any manner permitted by law, or elect that the Issuer maintain possession of all or a portion of the
Recovery Bond Collateral pursuant to Section 5.05 and continue to apply the Recovery Bond Charge Collection as if there had been no declaration of acceleration; and 



  
 42 














	 	(v)	 exercise all rights, remedies, powers, privileges and claims of the Issuer against the Seller, the
Administrator, PG&E or the Servicer under or in connection with, and pursuant to the terms of, the Sale Agreement, the Administration Agreement or the Servicing Agreement; 



provided, however, that the Indenture Trustee may not sell or otherwise liquidate any portion of the Recovery Bond Collateral
following such an Event of Default, other than an Event of Default described in Section 5.01(a)(i), or (ii), unless (1) the Holders of 100 percent of the Outstanding Amount of the Recovery Bonds consent
thereto, (2) the proceeds of such sale or liquidation distributable to the Holders are sufficient to discharge in full all amounts then due and unpaid upon the Recovery Bonds for principal, premium, if any, and interest after taking into
account payment of all amounts due prior thereto pursuant to the priorities set forth in Section 8.02(e) or (3) the Indenture Trustee determines that the Recovery Bond Collateral will not continue to provide sufficient
funds for all payments on the Recovery Bonds as they would have become due if the Recovery Bonds had not been declared due and payable, and the Indenture Trustee obtains the written consent of Holders of
66-2/3 percent of the Outstanding Amount of the Recovery Bonds. In determining such sufficiency or insufficiency with respect to clause (2) and (3), the Indenture Trustee may, but need
not, obtain and conclusively rely upon an opinion of an Independent investment banking or accounting firm of national reputation as to the feasibility of such proposed action and as to the sufficiency of the Recovery Bond Collateral for such
purpose. 
 (b) If an Event of Default under clause (vii) of Section 5.01 shall have occurred and be
continuing, the Indenture Trustee, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, shall be entitled and empowered to the extent permitted by applicable law, to institute or participate in Proceedings necessary to compel performance of or to enforce the
State Pledge and to collect any monetary damages incurred by the Holders or the Indenture Trustee as a result of any such Event of Default, and may prosecute any such Proceeding to final judgment or decree. Such remedy shall be the only remedy that
the Indenture Trustee may exercise if the only Event of Default that has occurred and is continuing is an Event of Default under Section 5.01(a)(vii). 

(c) If the Indenture Trustee collects any money pursuant to this Article V, it shall pay out such money in accordance with the
priorities set forth in Section 8.02(e). 
 SECTION 5.05. Optional Preservation of the Recovery Bond
Collateral. 
 If the Recovery Bonds have been declared to be due and payable under Section 5.02 following an
Event of Default and such declaration and its consequences have not been rescinded and annulled, the Indenture Trustee may, but need not, elect to maintain possession of all or a portion of the Recovery Bond Collateral. It is the desire of the
parties hereto and the Holders that there be at all times sufficient funds for the payment of principal of and premium, if any, and interest on the Recovery Bonds, and the Indenture Trustee shall take such desire into account when determining
whether or not to maintain possession of the Recovery Bond Collateral. In determining whether to maintain possession of the Recovery Bond Collateral or sell or liquidate the same, the Indenture Trustee may, but need not, obtain and conclusively rely
upon an opinion of an Independent investment banking or accounting firm of national reputation as to the feasibility of such proposed action and as to the sufficiency of the Recovery Bond Collateral for such purpose. 

  
 43 













 SECTION 5.06. Limitation of Suits. 

(a) No Holder of any Recovery Bond shall have any right to institute any Proceeding, judicial or otherwise, to avail itself of any remedies
provided in the Wildfire Financing Law or to avail itself of the right to foreclose on the Recovery Bond Collateral or otherwise enforce the Lien and the security interest on the Recovery Bond Collateral with respect to this Indenture and the Series
Supplement, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless:

	 	(ii)	 the Holders of not less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Recovery Bonds have made written
request to the Indenture Trustee to institute such Proceeding in respect of such Event of Default in its own name as Indenture Trustee hereunder; 


  

	 	(iii)	 such Holder or Holders have offered to the Indenture Trustee indemnity or security satisfactory to it against
the costs, expenses, losses and liabilities which may be incurred in complying with such request; 


  

	 	(iv)	 the Indenture Trustee for sixty (60) days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity
has failed to institute such Proceedings; and 


  

	 	(v)	 no direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to the Indenture Trustee during such sixty-day period by the Holders of a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Recovery Bonds; 



it being understood and intended that no one or more Holders shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of, or by availing of, any
provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other Holders or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any other Holders or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein
provided. 
 (b) In the event the Indenture Trustee shall receive conflicting or inconsistent requests and indemnity from two or more groups
of Holders, each representing less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Recovery Bonds, the Indenture Trustee in its sole discretion may file a petition with a court of competent jurisdiction to resolve such conflict or determine what
action, if any, shall be taken, notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture. 

  
 44 













 SECTION 5.07. Unconditional Rights of Holders To Receive Principal, Premium, if
any, and Interest.

Recovery Bonds on the Final Maturity Date therefor and (b) to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment, and such right shall not be impaired without the consent of such Holder. 

SECTION 5.08. Restoration of Rights and Remedies. 

If the Indenture Trustee or any Holder has instituted any Proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture and such Proceeding
has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason or has been determined adversely to the Indenture Trustee or to such Holder, then and in every such case the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Holders shall, subject to any determination in such
Proceeding, be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder, and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Indenture Trustee and the Holders shall continue as though no such Proceeding had been instituted. 

SECTION 5.09. Rights and Remedies Cumulative. 

No right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Indenture Trustee or to the Holders is intended to be exclusive of any other right
or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of
any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy. 

SECTION 5.10. Delay or Omission Not a Waiver. 

No delay or omission of the Indenture Trustee or any Holder to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Default or Event of Default shall
impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Default or Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article V or by law to the Indenture Trustee or to the Holders may be exercised
from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Indenture Trustee or by the Holders, as the case may be.

conferred on the Indenture Trustee with respect to such Tranche or Tranches; provided that: 
 (a) such direction shall not be in
conflict with any rule of law or with this Indenture and shall not involve the Indenture Trustee in any personal liability or expense; 
 (b)
subject to other conditions specified in Section 5.04, any direction to the Indenture Trustee to sell or liquidate any Recovery Bond Collateral shall be by the Holders representing the applicable percentage of the
Outstanding Amount of the Recovery Bonds as provided in Section 5.04; 

  
 45 













 (c) if the conditions set forth in Section 5.05 have been
satisfied and the Indenture Trustee elects to retain the Recovery Bond Collateral pursuant to Section 5.05, then any direction to the Indenture Trustee by Holders representing less than 100 percent of the Outstanding
Amount of the Recovery Bonds to sell or liquidate the Recovery Bond Collateral shall be of no force and effect; and 
 (d) the Indenture
Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Indenture Trustee that is not inconsistent with such direction; 
 provided,
however, that, the Indenture Trustee’s duties shall be subject to Section 6.01, and the Indenture Trustee need not take any action that it determines might involve it in liability or might materially adversely
affect the rights of any Holders not consenting to such action. Furthermore and without limiting the foregoing, the Indenture Trustee shall not be required to take any action for which it reasonably believes that it will not be indemnified to its
satisfaction against any costs, expenses, losses or liabilities. 
 SECTION 5.12. Waiver of Past Defaults. 

(a) Prior to the declaration of the acceleration of the maturity of the Recovery Bonds as provided in Section 5.02,
the Holders representing not less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Recovery Bonds of an affected Tranche, may waive any past Default or Event of Default and its consequences except a Default (A) in payment of principal of or
premium, if any, or interest on any of the Recovery Bonds or (B) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each Recovery Bond of all Tranches affected. In the case of
any such waiver, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Holders shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder, respectively; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default or impair any
right consequent thereto. 
 (b) Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist and be deemed to have been cured and not to have
occurred, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured and not to have occurred, for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default or impair
any right consequent thereto. 
 SECTION 5.13. Undertaking for Costs. 

All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder of any Recovery Bond by such Holder’s acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have
agreed, that any court may in its discretion require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any suit against the Indenture Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it as Indenture Trustee, the
filing by any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, against any party litigant in such suit, having
due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; but the provisions of this Section 5.13 shall not apply to (a) any suit instituted by the Indenture Trustee, (b) any
suit instituted by any Holder, or group of Holders, in each case holding in the aggregate more than ten (10) percent of the Outstanding Amount of the Recovery Bonds or (c) any suit instituted by any Holder for the enforcement of the
payment of (i) interest on any Recovery Bond on or after the due dates expressed in such Recovery Bond and in this Indenture or (ii) the unpaid principal, if any, of any Recovery Bond on or after the Final Maturity Date therefor.

 SECTION 5.14. Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws. 

The Issuer covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, or plead or in any manner whatsoever,
claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, that may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and the Issuer (to the extent that it may lawfully do
so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Indenture Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such
power as though no such law had been enacted. 
 SECTION 5.15. Action on Recovery Bonds. 

The Indenture Trustee’s right to seek and recover judgment on the Recovery Bonds or under this Indenture shall not be affected by the
seeking, obtaining or application of any other relief under or with respect to this Indenture. Neither the Lien of this Indenture nor any rights or remedies of the Indenture Trustee or the Holders shall be impaired by the recovery of any judgment by
the Indenture Trustee against the Issuer or by the levy of any execution under such judgment upon any portion of the Recovery Bond Collateral or any other assets of the Issuer. 

SECTION 5.16. Performance and Enforcement of Certain Obligations.  

(a) Promptly following a request from the Indenture Trustee to do so and at the Issuer’s expense, the Issuer agrees to take all such
lawful action as the Indenture Trustee may request to compel or secure the performance and observance by the Seller and the Servicer, as applicable, of each of their obligations to the Issuer under or in connection with the Sale Agreement and the
Servicing Agreement with respect to the Recovery Property, respectively, in accordance with the terms thereof, and to exercise any and all rights, remedies, powers and privileges lawfully available to the Issuer under or in connection with the Sale

exercise all rights, remedies, powers, privileges and claims of the Issuer against the Seller or the Servicer under or in connection with the Sale Agreement and the Servicing Agreement with respect to the Recovery Property, respectively, including
the right or power to take any action to compel or secure performance or observance by the Seller or the Servicer of each of their obligations to the Issuer thereunder and to give any consent, request, notice, direction, approval, extension or

Subaccount shall have a separate subaccount (each, a “Cash Subaccount”) where cash allocated to the related Subaccount will be held. Only cash shall be allocated to a Cash Subaccount and no other Recovery Bond Collateral shall be
allocated to a Cash Subaccount. References to any Subaccount shall be deemed to include the related Cash Subaccount. For administrative purposes, the Subaccounts may be established by the Indenture Trustee as separate accounts. Such separate
accounts will be recognized individually as a Subaccount and collectively as the “Collection Account”. Prior to or concurrently with the issuance of Recovery Bonds, the Member shall deposit into the Capital Subaccount an amount
equal to the Required Capital Level. All amounts in the Collection Account not allocated to any other subaccount shall be allocated to the General Subaccount. Any cash transferred to, or arising under, a Subaccount will be held in the related Cash
Subaccount. Prior to the Initial Payment Date, all amounts in the Collection Account (other than funds deposited into the Capital Subaccount, up to the Required Capital Level and any Capital Subaccount Investment Earnings) shall be allocated to the
General Subaccount. All references to the Collection Account shall be deemed to include reference to all subaccounts contained therein. Withdrawals from and deposits to each of the foregoing subaccounts of the Collection Account shall be made as set
forth in Sections 8.02(d) and (e). The Collection Account shall at all times be maintained in an Eligible Account, under the sole dominion and exclusive control of the Indenture Trustee, through the Securities Intermediary, and only
the Indenture Trustee shall have access to the Collection Account for the purpose of making deposits in and withdrawals from the Collection Account in accordance with this Indenture. Funds in the Collection Account shall not be commingled with any
other moneys. All moneys deposited from time to time in the Collection Account, including amounts not required to pay costs of issuance of Recovery Bonds transferred by the Issuer to the Indenture Trustee, all deposits therein pursuant to this
Indenture, and all investments made in Eligible Investments as directed in writing by the Issuer with such moneys, including all income or other gain from such investments other than Capital Subaccount Investment Earnings, shall be held by the
Indenture Trustee in the Collection Account as part of the Recovery Bond Collateral as herein provided. The Securities Intermediary shall have no liability in respect of losses incurred as a result of the liquidation of any Eligible Investment prior
to its stated maturity or its date of redemption or the failure of the Issuer or the Servicer to provide timely written investment direction.

 (b) The Securities Intermediary hereby confirms that (i) the Collection Account (other
than each Cash Subaccount) is, or at inception will be established as, a “securities account” as such term is defined in Section 8-501(a) of the UCC, (ii) it is a “securities
intermediary” (as such term is defined in Section 8-102(a) (14) of the UCC) and is acting in such capacity with respect to such accounts, (iii) the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the
Secured Parties is the sole “entitlement holder” (as such term is defined in Section 8-102(a)(7) of the UCC) with respect to such accounts and no other Person shall have the right to give
“entitlement orders” (as such term is defined in Section 8-102(a)(8)) with respect to such Collection Account and (iv) the Securities Intermediary agrees to comply with “entitlement
orders” originated by the Indenture Trustee with respect to the Collection Account without further consent of the Issuer or any other Person. The Securities Intermediary hereby further agrees that each item of property (whether investment
property, financial asset, security, instrument or cash) received by it will be credited to the Collection Account (and that all cash will be credited to the related Cash Subaccount). Such property, other than cash, shall be treated by it as a
Financial Asset. The Indenture Trustee shall cause the Securities Intermediary to hold any Recovery Bond Collateral consisting of money in the applicable Cash Subaccount and the Securities Intermediary hereby confirms that each Cash Subaccount is a
“deposit account” within the meaning of Section 9-102(a)(29) of the UCC. The Securities Intermediary further confirms that for purposes of perfecting the security interest in such deposit
account, it shall (i) act as the “bank” within the meaning of Section 9-102(a)(8) of the UCC and (ii) comply with instructions originated by the Indenture Trustee directing disposition
of the funds in the Cash Subaccount without further consent of the Issuer or any other Person. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, for purposes of the UCC, New York State shall be deemed to be “securities intermediary jurisdiction”
within the meaning of Section 8-110(e) of the UCC of the Securities Intermediary and “bank’s jurisdiction” within the meaning of
Section 9-304(a) of the UCC of the Securities Intermediary acting as the “bank” and the Collection Account (as well as the securities entitlements related thereto) shall be governed by the laws
of the State of New York. 
 (c) The Indenture Trustee shall have sole dominion and exclusive control over all moneys in the Collection
Account through the Securities Intermediary and shall apply such amounts therein as provided in this Section 8.02. The Indenture Trustee shall also pay from the Collection Account any amounts requested in writing to be paid
by or to the Servicer pursuant to Section 6.11(c)(ii) of the Servicing Agreement. 
 (d) FRC Collections shall be
deposited in the General Subaccount as provided in Section 6.11 of the Servicing Agreement. All deposits to and withdrawals from the Collection Account, all allocations to the subaccounts of the Collection Account and any
amounts to be paid to the Servicer under Section 8.02(c) shall be made by the Indenture Trustee in accordance with the written instructions provided by the Servicer in the Monthly Servicer’s Certificate, the
Servicer’s Certificate or upon other written notice provided by the Servicer pursuant to Section 6.11(a) of the Servicing Agreement, as applicable. 

  
 63 













 (e) On each Payment Date (or on any other date as directed by the Servicer with respect to
Operating Expenses referred to in clause (iv) payable prior to the next Payment Date), the Indenture Trustee shall apply all amounts on deposit in the Collection Account, including all Investment Earnings thereon, to pay the following amounts,
solely in accordance with the Servicer’s Certificate, in the following priority: 
  

	 	(i)	 all amounts owed by the Issuer to the Indenture Trustee (including legal fees and expenses and outstanding
indemnity amounts) shall be paid to the Indenture Trustee (subject to Section 6.07) in an amount not to exceed annually the amount set forth in the Series Supplement (the “Indenture Trustee Cap”); provided,
however, that the Indenture Trustee Cap shall be disregarded and inapplicable upon the acceleration of the Recovery Bonds following the occurrence of an Event of Default; 



 

	 	(ii)	 the Servicing Fee with respect to such Payment Date and all unpaid Servicing Fees for prior Payment Dates shall
be paid to the Servicer; 


  

	 	(iii)	 the Administration Fee for such Payment Date shall be paid to the Administrator and the Independent Manager Fee
for such Payment Date shall be paid to the Independent Managers (or an allocable share of the Administration Fee and the Independent Manager Fee if Additional Recovery Bonds or Additional Other Recovery Bonds issued by the Issuer are Outstanding);



  

	 	(iv)	 all other ordinary periodic Operating Expenses for such Payment Date (or an allocable share if Additional
Recovery Bonds or Additional Other Recovery Bonds issued by the Issuer are Outstanding) not described above shall be paid to the parties to which such Operating Expenses are owed; 



 

	 	(v)	 Periodic Interest for such Payment Date, including any overdue Periodic Interest (together with, to the extent
lawful, interest on such overdue Periodic Interest at the applicable Recovery Bond Interest Rate), with respect to the Recovery Bonds shall be paid to the Holders of Recovery Bonds; 



 

	 	(vi)	 principal due and payable on the Recovery Bonds as a result of an Event of Default or on the Final Maturity
Date of the Recovery Bonds shall be paid to the Holders of Recovery Bonds; 


  

	 	(vii)	 Periodic Principal for such Payment Date, including any overdue Periodic Principal, with respect to the
Recovery Bonds shall be paid to the Holders of Recovery Bonds, pro rata; 


  

	 	(viii)	 any other unpaid fees, expenses and indemnity amounts owed to the Indenture Trustee; 



 

	 	(ix)	 any other unpaid Operating Expenses (or an allocable share if Additional Recovery Bonds or Additional Other
Recovery Bonds issued by the Issuer are Outstanding) and any remaining amounts owed pursuant to the Basic Documents; 



  
 64 














	 	(x)	 the amount, if any, by which the Required Capital Level exceeds the amount in the Capital Subaccount as of such
Payment Date shall be allocated to the Capital Subaccount; 


  

	 	(xi)	 provided that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, release to PG&E an amount representing a
return on capital of its Capital Contribution calculated at an annual rate per annum equal to the weighted average interest rate on the Recovery Bonds; 


  

	 	(xii)	 the balance, if any, shall be allocated to the Excess Funds Subaccount for distribution on subsequent Payment
Dates; and 


  

	 	(xiii)	 after principal of and premium, if any, and interest on all the Recovery Bonds, and all of the other foregoing
amounts, have been paid in full, including, without limitation, amounts due and payable to the Indenture Trustee under Section 6.07 or otherwise, the balance (including all amounts then held in the Capital Subaccount and
the Excess Funds Subaccount), if any, shall be paid to PG&E, free from the Lien of this Indenture and the Series Supplement and credited to Consumers through normal ratemaking processes. 



(f) All payments to the Holders of the Recovery Bonds pursuant to clauses (v), (vi) and (vii) above shall be made to
such Holders pro rata based on the respective amounts of interest and/or principal owed, unless, in the case of Recovery Bonds comprised of two or more Tranches, the Series Supplement provides otherwise. Payments in respect of principal of and
premium, if any, and interest on any Tranche of Recovery Bonds will be made on a pro rata basis among all the Holders of such Tranche. In the case of an Event of Default, then, in accordance with Section 5.04(c), moneys
will be applied pursuant to clauses (v) and (vi), in such order, on a pro rata basis, based upon the interest or the principal owed. 

(g) The amounts paid during any calendar year pursuant to clauses (i), (ii), (iii), (iv) and (viii) may
not exceed the amounts approved in the Series Supplement. 
 (h) If on any Payment Date funds on deposit in the General Subaccount are
insufficient to make the payments contemplated by clauses (i) through (ix) of Section 8.02(e) above, the Indenture Trustee shall (I) first, draw from amounts on deposit in the Excess Funds
Subaccount and (II) second, draw from amounts on deposit in the Capital Subaccount, in each case, up to the amount of such shortfall in order to make the payments contemplated by clauses (i) through (ix) of
Section 8.02(e). In addition, if on any Payment Date funds on deposit in the General Subaccount are insufficient to make the allocations contemplated by clause (x) above, the Indenture Trustee shall draw from
amounts on deposit in the Excess Funds Subaccount to make such allocations. 

  
 65 













 SECTION 8.03. General Provisions Regarding the Collection Account. 

(a) So long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, all or a portion of the funds in the Collection Account
shall be invested in Eligible Investments and reinvested by the Indenture Trustee upon Issuer Order; provided, however, that (i) such Eligible Investments shall not mature or be redeemed later than the Business Day prior to the
next Payment Date or Special Payment Date, if applicable, for the Recovery Bonds and (ii) such Eligible Investments shall not be sold, liquidated or otherwise disposed of at a loss prior to the maturity or the date of redemption thereof. All
income or other gain from investments of moneys deposited in the Collection Account shall be deposited by the Indenture Trustee in such Collection Account, and any loss resulting from such investments shall be charged to such Collection Account. The
Issuer will not direct the Indenture Trustee to make any investment of any funds or to sell any investment held in the Collection Account unless the security interest Granted and perfected in such account will continue to be perfected in such
investment or the proceeds of such sale, in either case without any further action by any Person, and, in connection with any direction to the Indenture Trustee to make any such investment or sale, if requested by the Indenture Trustee, the Issuer
shall deliver to the Indenture Trustee an Opinion of Counsel of external counsel of the Issuer (at the Issuer’s cost and expense) to such effect. In no event shall the Indenture Trustee be liable for the selection of Eligible Investments or for
investment losses incurred thereon. The Indenture Trustee shall have no liability in respect of losses incurred as a result of the liquidation of any Eligible Investment prior to its stated maturity or its date of redemption or the failure of the
Issuer or the Servicer to provide timely written investment direction. The Indenture Trustee shall have no obligation to invest or reinvest any amounts held hereunder in the absence of written investment direction pursuant to an Issuer Order, in
which case such amounts shall remain uninvested. 
 (b) Subject to Section 6.01(c), the Indenture Trustee shall not
in any way be held liable by reason of any insufficiency in the Collection Account resulting from any loss on any Eligible Investment included therein except for losses attributable to the Indenture Trustee’s failure to make payments on such
Eligible Investments issued by the Indenture Trustee, in its commercial capacity as principal obligor and not as trustee, in accordance with their terms. 

(c) If (i) the Issuer shall have failed to give written investment directions for any funds on deposit in the Collection Account to the
Indenture Trustee by 11:00 a.m. Eastern Time (or such other time as may be agreed by the Issuer and Indenture Trustee) on any Business Day; or (ii) a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to the Recovery
Bonds but the Recovery Bonds shall not have been declared due and payable pursuant to Section 5.02, then the Indenture Trustee shall, to the fullest extent practicable, invest and reinvest funds in such Collection Account
in the money market fund (described under clause (d) of the definition of “Eligible Investments”) specified in the most recent written investment directions delivered by the Issuer to the Indenture Trustee with respect
to such type of Eligible Investments; provided that if the Issuer has never delivered written investment directions to the Indenture Trustee or if the money market fund specified in the most recent written investment directions no longer
exists, the Indenture Trustee shall not invest or reinvest such funds in any investments. 
 (d) The parties hereto acknowledge that the
Servicer may, pursuant to the Servicing Agreement, select Eligible Investments on behalf of the Issuer. 

  
 66 













 SECTION 8.04. Release of Recovery Bond Collateral. 

(a) So long as the Issuer is not in default hereunder and no Default hereunder would occur as a result of such action, the Issuer, through the
Servicer, may collect, sell or otherwise dispose of written-off receivables, at any time and from time to time in the ordinary course of business, without any notice to, or release or consent by, the Indenture
Trustee, but only as and to the extent permitted by the Basic Documents; provided, however, that any and all proceeds of such dispositions shall become Recovery Bond Collateral and be deposited to the General Subaccount immediately
upon receipt thereof by the Issuer or any other Person, including the Servicer. Without limiting the foregoing, the Servicer, may, at any time and from time to time without any notice to, or release or consent by, the Indenture Trustee, sell or
otherwise dispose of any Recovery Bond Collateral previously written-off as a defaulted or uncollectible account in accordance with the terms of the Servicing Agreement and the requirements of the proviso in
the immediately preceding sentence. 
 (b) The Indenture Trustee may, and when required by the provisions of this Indenture shall, execute
instruments to release property from the Lien of this Indenture, or convey the Indenture Trustee’s interest in the same, in a manner and under circumstances that are not inconsistent with the provisions of this Indenture. No party relying upon
an instrument executed by the Indenture Trustee as provided in this Article VIII shall be bound to ascertain the Indenture Trustee’s authority, inquire into the satisfaction of any conditions precedent or see to the application of any
moneys. The Indenture Trustee shall release property from the Lien of this Indenture pursuant to this Section 8.04(b) only upon receipt of an Issuer Request accompanied by an Officer’s Certificate, an Opinion of
Counsel of external counsel of the Issuer (at the Issuer’s cost and expense) and (if required by the TIA) Independent Certificates in accordance with TIA §§ 314(c) and 314(d)(1) meeting the applicable requirements of
Section 10.01. 
 (c) The Indenture Trustee shall, at such time as there are no Recovery Bonds Outstanding and all
sums payable to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to Section 6.07 or otherwise have been paid, release any remaining portion of the Recovery Bond Collateral that secured the Recovery Bonds from the Lien of this Indenture,
release to the Issuer or any other Person entitled thereto any funds or investments then on deposit in or credit to the Collection Account. 

SECTION 8.05. Opinion of Counsel. 

The Indenture Trustee shall receive at least seven (7) days’ notice when requested by the Issuer to take any action pursuant to
Section 8.04, accompanied by copies of any instruments involved, and the Indenture Trustee shall also require, as a condition to such action, an Opinion of Counsel of external counsel of the Issuer, in form and substance
satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee, stating the legal effect of any such action, outlining the steps required to complete the same, and concluding that all conditions precedent to the taking of such action have been complied with and such action
will not materially and adversely impair the perfection or priority of the remaining security for the Recovery Bonds or the rights of the Holders in contravention of the provisions of this Indenture and the Series Supplement; provided,
however, that such Opinion of Counsel shall not be required to express an opinion as to the fair value of the Recovery Bond Collateral. Counsel rendering any such opinion may rely, without independent investigation, on the accuracy and
validity of any certificate or other instrument delivered to the Indenture Trustee in connection with any such action. 

  
 67 













 SECTION 8.06. Reports by Independent Registered Public Accountants. 

As of the Closing Date, the Issuer shall appoint a firm of Independent registered public accountants of recognized national reputation for
purposes of preparing and delivering the reports or certificates of such accountants required by this Indenture and the Series Supplement. In the event such firm requires the Indenture Trustee to agree to the procedures performed by such firm, the
Issuer shall direct the Indenture Trustee in writing to so agree; it being understood and agreed that the Indenture Trustee will deliver such letter of agreement in conclusive reliance upon the direction of the Issuer, and the Indenture Trustee
makes no independent inquiry or investigation to, and shall have no obligation or liability in respect of, the sufficiency, validity or correctness of such procedures. Upon any resignation by, or termination by the Issuer of, such firm the Issuer
shall provide written notice thereof to the Indenture Trustee and shall promptly appoint a successor thereto that shall also be a firm of Independent registered public accountants of recognized national reputation. If the Issuer shall fail to
appoint a successor to a firm of Independent registered public accountants that has resigned or been terminated within fifteen (15) days after such resignation or termination, the Indenture Trustee shall promptly notify the Issuer of such
failure in writing. If the Issuer shall not have appointed a successor within ten (10) days thereafter the Indenture Trustee shall promptly appoint a successor firm of Independent registered public accountants of recognized national reputation;
provided that the Indenture Trustee shall have no liability with respect to such appointment. The fees of such Independent registered public accountants and its successor shall be payable by the Issuer as an Operating Expense.

Bond Collateral or other property or securities to be so deposited. 
  

	 	(ii)	 Whenever the Issuer is required to furnish to the Indenture Trustee an Officer’s Certificate certifying or
stating the opinion of any signer thereof as to the matters described in clause (c) above, the Issuer shall also deliver to the Indenture Trustee an Independent Certificate as to the same matters, if the fair value to the Issuer of the
securities to be so deposited and of all other such securities made the basis of any such withdrawal or release since the commencement of the then-current fiscal year of the Issuer, as set forth in the certificates delivered pursuant to clause
(c) above and this clause (ii), is ten percent or more of the Outstanding Amount of the Recovery Bonds, but such a certificate need not be furnished with respect to any securities so deposited, if the fair value thereof to the Issuer
as set forth in the related Officer’s Certificate is less than the lesser of (A) $25,000 or (B) one percent of the Outstanding Amount of the Recovery Bonds. 



 

	 	(iii)	 Whenever any property or securities are to be released from the Lien of this Indenture other than pursuant to

stating the opinion of any signatory thereof as to the matters described in clause (iii) above, the Issuer shall also furnish to the Indenture Trustee an Independent Certificate as to the same matters if the fair value of the property or
securities with respect thereto, or securities released from the Lien of this Indenture (other than pursuant to Section 8.02(e)) since the commencement of the then-current calendar year, as set forth in the certificates
required by clause (iii) above and this clause (iv), equals 10 percent or more of the Outstanding Amount of the Recovery Bonds, but such certificate need not be furnished in the case of any release of property or securities
if the fair value thereof as set forth in the related Officer’s Certificate is less than the lesser of (A) $25,000 or (B) one percent of the then Outstanding Amount of the Recovery Bonds. 



 

	 	(v)	 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 10.01, the Indenture Trustee may

and to the extent permitted or required by the Basic Documents. 


 SECTION 10.02. Form of Documents Delivered to
Indenture Trustee. 
 (a) In any case where several matters are required to be certified by, or covered by an opinion of, any specified
Person, it is not necessary that all such matters be certified by, or covered by the opinion of, only one such Person, or that they be so certified or covered by only one document, but one such Person may certify or give an opinion with respect to
some matters and one or more other such Persons as to other matters, and any such Person may certify or give an opinion as to such matters in one or several documents. 

(b) Any certificate or opinion of a Responsible Officer of the Issuer may be based, insofar as it relates to legal matters, upon a certificate
or opinion of, or representations by, counsel, unless such officer knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know, that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to the matters upon which his or her certificate or opinion
is based are erroneous. Any Opinion of Counsel may be based, insofar as it relates to factual matters (including financial and capital markets), upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations by, an officer or officers of the Servicer or the
Issuer and other documents necessary and advisable in the judgment of counsel delivering such Opinion of Counsel. 
 (c) Whenever in this
Indenture, in connection with any application or certificate or report to the Indenture Trustee, it is provided that the Issuer shall deliver any document as a condition of the granting of such application, or as evidence of the Issuer’s
compliance with any term hereof, it is intended that the truth and accuracy, at the time of the granting of such application or at the effective date of such certificate or report (as the case may be), of the facts and opinions stated in such
document shall in such case be conditions precedent to the right of the Issuer to have such application granted or to the sufficiency of such certificate or report. The foregoing shall not, however, be construed to affect the Indenture
Trustee’s right to rely conclusively upon the truth and accuracy of any statement or opinion contained in any such document as provided in Article VI. 

  
 74 













 (d) Where any Person is required to make, give or execute two or more applications,
requests, consents, certificates, statements, opinions or other instruments under this Indenture, they may, but need not, be consolidated and form one instrument. 

SECTION 10.03. Acts of Holders. 

(a) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided by this Indenture to be given or taken by
Holders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Holders in person or by agents duly appointed in writing; and except as herein otherwise expressly provided such action shall become
effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered to the Indenture Trustee, and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the Issuer. Such instrument or instruments (and the action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein
sometimes referred to as the “Act” of the Holders signing such instrument or instruments. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and
(subject to Section 6.01) conclusive in favor of the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer, if made in the manner provided in this Section 10.03. 

(b) The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such instrument or writing may be proved in any manner that the Indenture Trustee
deems sufficient. 
 (c) The ownership of Recovery Bonds shall be proved by the Recovery Bond Register. 

(d) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action by the Holder of any Recovery Bonds shall bind the
Holder of every Recovery Bond issued upon the registration thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof, in respect of anything done, omitted or suffered to be done by the Indenture Trustee or the Issuer in reliance thereon, whether or not
notation of such action is made upon such Recovery Bond.

 The Indenture Trustee agrees to accept

(a) subsequent to such transmission of written instructions, the Issuer shall provide the originally executed instructions or directions to the Indenture Trustee in a timely manner, and (b) such originally executed instructions or
directions shall be signed by an authorized representative of the Issuer providing such instructions or directions. If the Issuer elects to give the Indenture Trustee e-mail or facsimile instructions (or
instructions by a similar electronic method) and the Indenture Trustee in its discretion elects to act upon such instructions, the Indenture Trustee’s understanding of such instructions shall be deemed controlling. The Indenture Trustee shall
not be liable for any losses, costs or expenses arising directly or indirectly from the Indenture Trustee’s reliance upon and compliance with such instructions notwithstanding such instructions conflict or are inconsistent with a subsequent
written instruction. The Issuer agrees to assume all risks arising out of the use of such electronic methods to submit instructions and directions to the Indenture Trustee, including without limitation the risk of the Indenture Trustee acting on
unauthorized instructions, and the risk or interception and misuse by third parties.

 SECTION 10.05. Notices to Holders; Waiver. 

(a) Where this Indenture provides for notice to Holders of any event, such notice shall be sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein
expressly provided) if in writing and mailed, first-class, postage prepaid to each Holder affected by such event, at such Holder’s address as it appears on the Recovery Bond Register, not later than the latest date, and not earlier than the
earliest date, prescribed for the giving of such notice. In any case where notice to Holders is given by mail, neither the failure to mail such notice nor any defect in any notice so mailed to any particular Holder shall affect the sufficiency of
such notice with respect to other Holders, and any notice that is mailed in the manner herein provided shall conclusively be presumed to have been duly given. 

(b) Where this Indenture provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing by any Person entitled to receive such notice,
either before or after the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by Holders shall be filed with the Indenture Trustee but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken
in reliance upon such a waiver. 
 (c) In case, by reason of the suspension of regular mail service as a result of a strike, work stoppage or
similar activity, it shall be impractical to mail notice of any event of Holders when such notice is required to be given pursuant to any provision of this Indenture, then any manner of giving such notice as shall be satisfactory to the Indenture
Trustee shall be deemed to be a sufficient giving of such notice. 
 (d) Where this Indenture provides for notice to the Rating Agencies,
failure to give such notice shall not affect any other rights or obligations created hereunder, and shall not under any circumstance constitute a Default or Event of Default. 

SECTION 10.06. Rule 17g-5 Compliance. 

The Indenture Trustee agrees that any notice, report, request for satisfaction of the Rating Agency Condition, document or other information
provided by the Indenture Trustee to any Rating Agency under this Indenture or any other Basic Document to which it is a party for the purpose of determining or confirming the credit rating of the Recovery Bonds or undertaking credit rating
surveillance of the Recovery Bonds shall be provided, substantially concurrently, to the Servicer for posting on a password-protected website (the “17g-5 Website”). The Servicer shall be
responsible for posting all of the information on the 17g-5 Website. 
 SECTION 10.07.
Conflict with Trust Indenture Act. 
 (a) If any provision hereof limits, qualifies or conflicts with another provision hereof
that is required to be included in this Indenture by any of the provisions of the TIA, such required provision shall control. 

  
 77 













 (b) The provisions of TIA §§ 310 through 317 that impose duties on any person
(including the provisions automatically deemed included herein unless expressly excluded by this Indenture) are a part of and govern this Indenture, whether or not physically contained herein. 

SECTION 10.08. Effect of Headings and Table of Contents. 

The Article and Section headings herein and the Table of Contents are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction hereof. 

SECTION 10.09. Successors and Assigns. 

All covenants and agreements in this Indenture and the Recovery Bonds by the Issuer shall bind its successors and assigns, whether so expressed
or not. All agreements of the Indenture Trustee in this Indenture shall bind its successors. 
 SECTION 10.10. Severability.

 Any provision in this Indenture or in the Recovery Bonds that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such
jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remainder of such provision (if any) or the remaining provisions hereof (unless such construction shall be unreasonable), and any such
prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. 

SECTION 10.11. Benefits of Indenture. 

Nothing in this Indenture or in the Recovery Bonds, express or implied, shall give to any Person, other than the parties hereto and their
successors hereunder, and the Holders, and any other party secured hereunder, and any other Person with an ownership interest in any part of the Recovery Bond Collateral, any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this
Indenture. 
 SECTION 10.12. Legal Holidays. 

In any case where the date on which any payment is due shall not be a Business Day, then (notwithstanding any other provision of the Recovery
Bonds or this Indenture) payment need not be made on such date, but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on the date on which nominally due, and no interest shall accrue for the period from and
after any such nominal date. 
 SECTION 10.13. GOVERNING LAW; WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. 

THIS INDENTURE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA, WITHOUT REFERENCE TO ITS CONFLICT OF
LAW PROVISIONS, AND THE OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS AND REMEDIES OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH LAWS. EACH OF THE ISSUER AND THE INDENTURE TRUSTEE AND EACH HOLDER (BY ITS ACCEPTANCE OF THE RECOVERY BONDS) IRREVOCABLY
WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT THAT IT MAY EFFECTIVELY DO SO UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, TRIAL BY JURY. 

  
 78 













 SECTION 10.14. Counterparts. 

This Indenture may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which so executed shall be deemed to be an original, but all such
counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument. The Issuer and Indenture Trustee agree that this Indenture may be electronically signed, that any digital or electronic signatures (including pdf, facsimile or electronically
imaged signatures provided by DocuSign or any other digital signature provider as specified in writing to the Indenture Trustee) appearing on this Indenture are the same as handwritten signatures for the purposes of validity, enforceability and
admissibility, and that delivery of any such electronic signature to, or a signed copy of, this Indenture may be made by facsimile, email or other electronic transmission. The Issuer agrees to assume all risks arising out of the use of digital
signatures and electronic methods of submitting such signatures to the Indenture Trustee, including without limitation the risk of the Indenture Trustee acting upon documents with unauthorized signatures and the risk of interception and misuse by
third parties. 
 SECTION 10.15. Recording of Indenture. 

If this Indenture is subject to recording in any appropriate public recording offices, such recording is to be effected by the Issuer and at
its expense accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel at the Issuer’s cost and expense (which shall be external counsel of the Issuer) to the effect that such recording is necessary either for the protection of the Holders or any other Person
secured hereunder or for the enforcement of any right or remedy granted to the Indenture Trustee under this Indenture. 
 SECTION 10.16.
Issuer Obligation. 
 No recourse may be taken, directly or indirectly, with respect to the obligations of the Issuer or the
Indenture Trustee on the Recovery Bonds or under this Indenture or any certificate or other writing delivered in connection herewith or therewith, against (I) any owner of a membership interest in the Issuer (including PG&E) or
(II) any shareholder, partner, owner, beneficiary, agent, officer, director or employee of the Indenture Trustee, the Managers or any owner of a membership interest in the Issuer (including PG&E) in its respective individual capacity, or of
any successor or assign of any of them in their respective individual or corporate capacities, except as any such Person may have expressly agreed in writing. Each Holder by accepting a Recovery Bond specifically confirms the nonrecourse nature of
these obligations, and waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the Recovery Bonds. 

SECTION 10.17. Inspection. 

The Issuer agrees that, on reasonable prior notice, it will permit, subject to the requirements of applicable law and the CPUC Regulations, any
representative of the Indenture Trustee, during the Issuer’s normal business hours, to examine all the books of account, records, reports, and other papers of the Issuer, to make copies and extracts therefrom, to cause such books to be audited
by Independent certified public accountants, and to discuss the Issuer’s affairs, finances and accounts with the Issuer’s officers, employees, and Independent certified public accountants, all at such


  
 79 













 
reasonable times and as often as may be reasonably requested. The Indenture Trustee shall and shall cause its representatives to hold in confidence all such information except to the extent
disclosure may be required by law (and all reasonable applications for confidential treatment are unavailing) and except to the extent that the Indenture Trustee may reasonably determine that such disclosure is consistent with its obligations
hereunder. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the foregoing shall not be construed to prohibit (i) disclosure of any and all information that is or becomes publicly known, or information obtained by the Indenture Trustee from
sources other than the Issuer, provided such parties are rightfully in possession of such information and are not subject to a duty of confidentiality, (ii) disclosure of any and all information (A) if required to do so by any applicable
statute, law, rule or regulation, (B) pursuant to any subpoena, civil investigative demand or similar demand or request of any court or regulatory authority exercising its proper jurisdiction, (C) in any preliminary or final offering
circular, registration statement or contract or other document pertaining to the transactions contemplated by this Indenture or the Basic Documents approved in advance by the Issuer or (D) to any affiliate, independent or internal auditor,
agent, employee or attorney of the Indenture Trustee having a need to know the same, provided, that such parties agree to be bound by the confidentiality provisions contained in this Section 10.17, or (iii) any other
disclosure authorized by the Issuer. 
 SECTION 10.18. No Petition. 

The Indenture Trustee, by entering into this Indenture, and each Holder, by accepting a Recovery Bond (or interest therein) issued hereunder,
hereby covenant and agree that, subject to the CPUC’s right to order the sequestration and payment of revenues arising with respect to the Recovery Property notwithstanding any bankruptcy, reorganization or other insolvency proceedings with
respect to the debtor, pledgor or transferor of the Recovery Property pursuant to Section 850.3(e) and (g) of the Wildfire Financing Law, they shall not, prior to the date which is one year and one day after the termination of this
Indenture, acquiesce, petition or otherwise invoke or cause the Issuer or any Manager to invoke the process of any court or government authority for the purpose of commencing or sustaining a case against the Issuer under any insolvency law or
appointing a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, custodian, sequestrator or other similar official of the Issuer or any substantial part of its respective property, or ordering the dissolution, winding up or liquidation of the affairs of the
Issuer. Nothing in this paragraph shall preclude, or be deemed to estop, such Holder or the Indenture Trustee (a) from taking or omitting to take any action prior to such date in (i) any case or proceeding voluntarily filed or commenced by
or on behalf of the Issuer under or pursuant to any such law or (ii) any involuntary case or proceeding pertaining to the Issuer which is filed or commenced by or on behalf of a Person other than such Holder and is not joined in by such Holder
(or any Person to which such holder shall have assigned, transferred or otherwise conveyed any part of the obligations of the Issuer hereunder) under or pursuant to any such law, or (b) from commencing or prosecuting any legal action which is
not an involuntary case or proceeding under or pursuant to any such law against the Issuer or any of its properties. 
 SECTION 10.19.
Securities Intermediary. 
 The Securities Intermediary, in acting under this Indenture, is entitled to all rights, benefits,
protections, immunities and indemnities accorded The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., a national banking association, in its capacity as Indenture Trustee under this Indenture.

true-up adjustment of the fixed recovery charges pursuant to subdivision (g) of Section 850.1, the fixed recovery charges, any associated fixed recovery tax amounts, recovery property, financing
orders, or any rights under a financing order until the recovery bonds, together with the interest on the recovery bonds and associated financing costs, are fully paid and discharged, and any associated fixed recovery tax amounts have been satisfied
or, in the alternative, have been refinanced through an additional issue of recovery bonds, provided that nothing contained in this section shall preclude the limitation or alteration if and when adequate provision shall be made by law for the
protection of the electrical corporation and of owners and holders of the recovery bonds. The financing entity is authorized to include this pledge and undertaking for the state in these recovery bonds.” 

The Wildfire Financing Law further provides that: “Neither the full faith and credit nor the taxing power of the State of California is
pledged to the payment of the principal of, or interest on, this bond. The issuance of recovery bonds under this article [of the Wildfire Financing Law] shall not directly, indirectly, or contingently obligate the state or any political subdivision
thereof to levy or to pledge any form of taxation therefor or to make any appropriation for their payment.” 
 The Issuer and PG&E
