     SECTION 3.02. Due Qualification. The Seller is duly qualified to do
business as a foreign corporation in good standing, and has obtained all
necessary licenses and approvals, in all jurisdictions in which the ownership or

     SECTION 3.04. Binding Obligation. This Agreement constitutes a legal, valid
and binding obligation of the Seller enforceable against the Seller in
accordance with its terms subject to bankruptcy, receivership, insolvency,
fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium or other laws affecting

principles of equity (regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity
or at law).

     SECTION 3.05. No Violation. The consummation of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement and the fulfillment of the terms hereof do not
conflict with, result in any breach of any of the terms and provisions of, nor
constitute (with or without notice or lapse of time) a default under, the
articles of incorporation or by-laws of the Seller, or any indenture, agreement
or other instrument to which the Seller is a party or by which it shall be

     instrumentality having jurisdiction over the Seller or its properties.

     SECTION 3.06. No Proceedings. There are no proceedings or investigations
pending or, to the Seller's best knowledge, threatened, before any court,
Federal or state regulatory body, administrative agency or other governmental
instrumentality having jurisdiction over the Seller or its properties (i)

seeking to prevent the issuance of the Transition Bonds or the consummation of
any of the transactions contemplated by the Basic Documents or the Transition
Bonds or (iii) except as disclosed by the Seller to the Issuer, seeking any

validity or enforceability of, the Basic Documents or the Transition Bonds.

     SECTION 3.07. Approvals. Except for UCC continuation filings, no approval,

                                                                              18

those that have been obtained or made.

     SECTION 3.08. The Intangible Transition Property. (a) Information. All
information provided by the Seller to the Issuer with respect to the Transferred
Intangible Transition Property is correct in all material respects.

     (b) Effect of Transfer. The transfers and assignments herein contemplated
constitute sales of the Initial Intangible Transition Property or the Subsequent
Intangible Transition Property, as the case may be, from the Seller to the
Issuer and the beneficial interest in and title to the Transferred Intangible
Transition Property would not be part of the debtor's estate in the event of the
filing of a bankruptcy petition by or against the Seller under any bankruptcy
law.

     (c) Transfer Filings. The Seller is the sole owner of the Intangible
Transition Property being sold to the Issuer on the Initial Transfer Date or
Subsequent Transfer Date, as applicable; the Transferred Intangible Transition
Property has been validly transferred and sold to the Issuer free and clear of
all Liens other than Liens created by the Issuer pursuant to the Indenture. All
filings, including filings with the PUC under the Statute, necessary in any
jurisdiction to give the Issuer a valid ownership interest in the Transferred
Intangible Transition

<PAGE>


                                                                              19

Property, free and clear of all Liens of the Seller or anyone claiming through
the Seller, and to give the Bond Trustee a first priority perfected security
interest in the Transferred Intangible Transition Property have been made, other
than any such filings (except for filings with the PUC under the Statute and UCC
filings with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware) the absence of
which would not have an adverse impact on (i) the ability of the Servicer to
collect Intangible Transition Charges with respect to the Serviced Intangible
Transition Property or (ii) the rights of the Issuer or the Bond Trustee with
respect to the Transferred Intangible Transition Property.

     (d) Irrevocable; Process Valid; No Litigation; Etc. (i) Each Qualified Rate
Order has been issued by the PUC in accordance with the Statute, such order and
the process by which it was issued comply with all applicable laws, rules and
regulations, and each such order is in full force and effect. (ii) As of the
date of issuance of any Series of Transition Bonds, such Transition Bonds are
entitled to the protections provided by the Statute and, accordingly, the
provisions of each Qualified Rate Order relating to Intangible Transition
Property and Intangible Transition Charges are not revocable by the PUC. (iii)
(a) Under the Statute, neither the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania nor the PUC may
limit, alter or in any way impair or reduce the value of Intangible Transition
Property

<PAGE>


                                                                              20

or Intangible Transition Charges approved by the Qualified Rate Orders or any
rights thereunder, except such a limitation or alteration may be made by the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania or the PUC if adequate compensation is made by law
for the full protection of the Intangible Transition Charges and of Transition
Bondholders; and (b) under the Contract Clauses of the Constitutions of the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and the United States, the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania and the PUC cannot take any action that substantially impairs the
rights of the Transition Bondholders unless such action is a reasonable exercise
of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania's sovereign powers and appropriate to
further a legitimate public purpose, and, under the Takings Clauses of the
Pennsylvania and United States Constitutions, in the event such action
constitutes a permanent appropriation of the property interest of Transition
Bondholders in the Intangible Transition Property and deprives the Transition
Bondholders of their reasonable expectations arising from their investments in
Transition Bonds, unless just compensation, as determined by a court of
competent jurisdiction, is provided to Transition Bondholders. (iv) There is no
order by any court providing for the revocation, alteration, limitation or other
impairment of the Statute, any Qualified Rate Order, the Intangible Transition
Property or the Intangible Transition Charges or any rights arising under

<PAGE>


                                                                              21

any of them or which seeks to enjoin the performance of any obligations under
the Qualified Rate Orders. (v) No other approval, authorization, consent, order
or other action of, or filing with, any court, Federal or state regulatory body,
administrative agency or other governmental instrumentality is required in
connection with the creation of the Intangible Transition Property, except those
that have been obtained or made. (vi) Except as disclosed by the Seller to the
Issuer there are no proceedings or investigations pending, or to the Seller's
best knowledge, threatened before any court, Federal or state regulatory body,
administrative agency or other governmental instrumentality having jurisdiction
over the Seller or its properties challenging either Qualified Rate Order or the
Statute. (vii) No failure on the Initial Transfer Date or any Subsequent
Transfer Date or any time thereafter to satisfy any condition imposed by the
Statute with respect to the recovery of stranded costs will adversely affect the
creation or sale hereunder of Intangible Transition Property or the right to
collect Intangible Transition Charges.

     (e) Assumptions. The assumptions used in calculating Intangible Transition
Charges are reasonable and made in good faith.

     (f) Creation of Intangible Transition Property. (i) The Intangible
Transition Property other than the Retained Intangible Transition Property
constitutes a

                                                                              22

current property right, (ii) the Intangible Transition Property includes,
without limitation, (A) the irrevocable right of the Issuer and any Other
Issuers to receive through Intangible Transition Charges an amount sufficient to
recover all of the Seller's Qualified Transition Expenses described in the

for any credit enhancement (including the Overcollateralization Amount relating
to each Series of Transition Bonds), to fund any reserves, and to pay interest,
premium, if any, servicing fees and other expenses relating to the Transition
Bonds and Other Transition Bonds, and (B) all right, title and interest of the
Seller or its assignee applicable to the Transition Bonds and Other Transition
Bonds in the Qualified Rate Orders and in all revenues, collections, claims,
payments, money or proceeds of or arising from the Intangible Transition Charges
applicable to the Transition Bonds and Other Transition Bonds set forth in the
Qualified Rate Orders to the extent that in accordance with the Statute, the
Qualified Rate Orders and the rates and charges authorized under the Qualified
Rate Orders are declared to be irrevocable and (iii) paragraphs four through
nineteen of each Qualified Rate Order, including the right to collect Intangible
Transition Charges, have been declared to be irrevocable by the PUC.

notices or other similar requirements, result in a lien on the Intangible
Transition Property; provided that no such tax need be paid if the Seller or one
of its subsidiaries is contesting the same in good faith by appropriate
proceedings promptly instituted and diligently conducted and if the Seller or

available to satisfy any Losses for which indemnification is provided in this
Agreement.

     (ii) If an Indemnification Event shall occur, upon receipt of written
notice thereof by the Seller from the Issuer or the Bond Trustee, the Seller
shall notify the Servicer of the occurrence of such event so that the Servicer
may, pursuant to Section 8 of Annex 1 to the Master Servicing Agreement,

not later than each Monthly Allocation Date succeeding the Initial Loss
Calculation Date, the amount of Losses expected to be incurred as a result of
such Indemnification Event from but excluding such Monthly Allocation Date

Event shall continue unremedied beyond the Initial Loss Calculation Date, the
Seller shall pay to the Bond Trustee, as assignee of the Issuer, for deposit
into the General Subaccount of the Collection Account, (x) on the Monthly
Allocation Date immediately following the Initial Loss Calculation Date, the
amount of Losses calculated pursuant to clause (x) and clause (y) of the

this Agreement that has a material adverse effect on the Transition Bondholders
or (B) Sections 3.01, 3.03, 3.04, 3.05 and 3.08(d)(iii), (v) or (vi) of this
Agreement for which the full amount of Losses attributable thereto are
reasonably expected to be incurred beyond a 90-day period immediately following
the occurrence of such Indemnification Event, the Seller shall pay to the Bond
Trustee, as assignee of the Issuer, for deposit into the General Subaccount of
the Collection Account the Liquidated Damages Amount. Such amount shall be paid
(x) in the case of clause (A) above, on the Liquidated Damages Payment Date or
(y) in the case of clause (B) above, on the First Monthly Allocation Date
following the expiration of the 90-day period set forth in such clause (B).

Section 5.01(d)(i) to pay amounts for deposit into the General Subaccount of the
Collection Account for a breach of a representation and warranty which relates

then the Liquidated Damages Amount will include the then outstanding principal
amount of only the Affected Transition Bonds as of the Liquidated Damages
Redemption Date and unpaid interest accrued thereon.

thereof such breach is cured or the Seller takes remedial action such that there
is not and will not be a material adverse effect on the Transition Bondholders
as a result of such breach and (B) either (i) if the Seller had, immediately
prior to the breach, a long term debt rating of at least "A3" by Moody's and
"BBB" by Standard & Poor's and the equivalent of "BBB" by any other Rating
Agency, the Seller enters into a binding agreement with the Issuer to pay any
amounts necessary so that all interest payments due on the Transition Bonds
during such 90-day period will be paid in full, or (ii) if the Seller does not
have such long term debt ratings, the Seller deposits, within two Business Days
after such breach, an amount in escrow with the Bond Trustee sufficient, taking
into account amounts on deposit in the Collection Account which will be
available for such purpose, to pay all interest payments which will become due
on the Transition Bonds during such 90-day period. In the event that within such
90-day period (i) such breach is cured or (ii) the Seller takes the remedial
action specified by Section 5.01(d)(ii)(A), any amounts paid by the Seller to
the Bond Trustee, as assignee of the Issuer pursuant to Section 5.01(d)(ii)(B),
which have not been distributed pursuant to the Indenture shall be returned to
the Seller at the end of such 90-day period.

     (iii) With respect to any Losses described in Section 5.01(c)(ii) or
Section 5.01(d)(i)(B) above, the full

outstanding balance of Transition Bonds per Monthly Allocation Date (the "De
Minimis Loss Amount"), the Seller, on the Monthly Allocation Date immediately
following the Initial Loss Calculation Date, shall pay to the Bond Trustee, as
assignee of the Issuer, for deposit in the Loss Subaccount of the Collection
Account, the aggregate expected amount of such Losses for all Monthly Allocation
Dates on which such Losses are expected to be incurred, following which the
Seller's obligation to pay indemnification or Liquidated Damages, as applicable,
as a result of such Losses shall be waived so long as the actual Losses incurred
on any Monthly Allocation Date do not exceed the De Minimis Loss Amount. If the
aggregate amount of such Losses incurred as of any Monthly Allocation Date
exceeds the amounts paid by the Seller to the Bond Trustee, as assignee of the
Issuer, with respect thereto, the Seller shall pay to the Bond Trustee, as
assignee of the Issuer, on the next Monthly Allocation Date, the amount of such
excess for such Monthly Allocation Date and the expected amount of excess for
all subsequent Monthly Allocation Dates.

                  (iv) Upon the payment by the Seller of the Liquidated Damages
Amount pursuant to Section 5.01(d)(i), neither the Issuer nor any other Person
shall have any other claims, rights or remedies against the Seller for a breach

misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence of the Bond Trustee or the Issuer
Trustee, as applicable. Such amounts shall be deposited into the Collection
Account and distributed in accordance with the Indenture.

     (f) The Seller's indemnification obligations under Section 5.01(b),(c), (d)
and (e) for events occurring prior to the removal or resignation of the Bond

include reasonable fees and expenses of investigation and litigation (including
the Bond Trustee's reasonable attorney's fees and expenses).
