      Conveyance
        of Transferred Environmental Control Property

       

      Section
        2.01.  Conveyance
        of Initial Transferred Environmental Control Property.
         (a)
        In
        consideration of the Issuer’s delivery to or upon the order of the Seller of
        $112,408,504, subject to the conditions specified in Section
        2.03,
        the
        Seller, pursuant to a Bill of Sale, will irrevocably sell, transfer, assign,
        set
        over and otherwise convey to the Issuer, without recourse (subject to the
        obligations herein), all right, title and interest of the Seller in and to
        the
        Initial Transferred Environmental Control Property created pursuant to the
        Statute and in accordance with the Financing Order (such sale, transfer,
        assignment, set over and conveyance of the Initial Transferred Environmental
        Control Property will include, to the fullest extent permitted by the Statute,
        the assignment of all revenues, collections, claims, rights, payments, money
        or
        proceeds of or arising from the Environmental Control Charges related to
        the
        Initial Transferred Environmental Control Property, as the same may be adjusted
        from time to time). Such sale, transfer, assignment, set over and conveyance
        will be expressly stated to be a sale and, pursuant to
        Section 24-2-4e(m)(1) of the Statute, shall be treated as an absolute
        transfer of all of the Seller’s right, title and interest (as in a true sale),
        and not as a pledge or other secured transaction, of the Initial Transferred
        Environmental Control Property. The Seller and the Issuer agree and confirm
        that
        after giving effect to the sale contemplated by such Bill of Sale, the Seller
        has no rights in the Initial Transferred Environmental Control Property to
        which
        a security interest of creditors of the Seller could attach because it has
        sold
        all rights in the Initial Transferred Environmental Control Property to the
        Issuer pursuant to Section 24-2-4e(m)(1) of the Statute. If such sale, transfer,
        assignment, setting over and conveyance is held by any court of competent
        jurisdiction not to be a true sale as provided in Section 24-2-4e(m)(1) of
        the Statute, then such sale, transfer, assignment, setting over and conveyance
        shall be treated as a pledge of the Initial Transferred Environmental Control
        Property and as the creation of a security interest (within the meaning of
        the
        Statute and the UCC) in the Initial Transferred Environmental Control Property
        and, without prejudice to its position that it has absolutely transferred
        all of
        its rights in the Initial Transferred Environmental Control Property to the
        Issuer, the Seller hereby grants a security interest in the Initial Transferred
        Environmental Control Property to the Issuer (and, to the extent necessary
        to
        qualify the grant as a security interest under the Statute and the UCC, to
        the
        Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Environmental Control Bondholders
        to
        secure the right of the Issuer under the Basic Documents to receive the
        Environmental Control Charges and all other Transferred Environmental Control
        Property).

       

      (b)  Subject
        to the conditions specified in Section
        2.03,
        the
        Issuer, pursuant to a Bill of Sale, will purchase the Initial Transferred
        Environmental Control Property from the Seller for the consideration set
        forth
        in paragraph (a) above.

      (c)  The
        Seller and the Issuer each acknowledge and agree that the purchase price
        for the
        Initial Transferred Environmental Control Property sold pursuant to the Bill
        of
        Sale is equal to its fair market value at the time of sale.

       

      Section
        2.02.  Conveyance
        of Subsequent Transferred Environmental Control Property.
         The Seller may from time to time offer to sell additional Transferred
        Environmental Control Property to the Issuer, subject to the conditions
        specified in Section
        2.03.
        If any
        such offer is accepted by the Issuer, such Subsequent Transferred Environmental
        Control Property shall be sold to the Issuer effective on the Subsequent
        Sale

        or

      Section

        Pledge.

       

      (a)  The
        State
        of West Virginia may not take or permit any action which would impair the
        value
        of the Environmental Control Property or reduce or alter, except for periodic
        True-Up Adjustments allowed under the Financing Order, or impair the
        Environmental Control Charges to be imposed, collected or remitted for the
        benefit of Environmental Control Bondholders, until all principal, interest
        or
        other charges incurred or contracts to be performed in connection with the
        Environmental Control Bonds are paid or performed in full.

       

      (b)  The
        State
        of West Virginia, including the PSCWV, cannot take any action that substantially
        impairs the rights of the Environmental Control Bondholders unless such action
        is reasonable exercise of the State of West Virginia’s sovereign powers and of a
        character to further a legitimate public purpose. Under the takings clauses
        of
        the West Virginia Constitution and the United States Constitution, the state
        cannot repeal or amend the Statute in contravention of the State Pledge,
        as
        described in Section
        3.10(a),
        unless
        just compensation, as determined by a court of competition jurisdiction,
        is
        provided to the Environmental Control Bondholders; but

      nothing
        in this paragraph precludes any limitation or alteration of the rights of
        the
        Environmental Control Bondholders if full compensation is made by law for
        the
        full protection of the Environmental Control Charges and of the Environmental
        Control Bondholders or any assignee or party entering into a contract with
        the
        Seller.

       

      (c)  There
        is
        no order by a court providing for the limitation or other impairment of the
        Statute, Financing Order, Environmental Control Property or Environmental
        Control Charges, or any rights arising under them, or that seeks to enjoin
        the
        performance of any obligations under the Financing Order which is materially
        adverse to the position of the Environmental Control Bondholders.

       

      (d)  The
        voters of the State of West Virginia have no right of referendum or initiative
        to amend, repeal or revoke the Statute in a manner that would impair the
        security of the Environmental Control Bondholders.

       

      Section
        3.12.  The
        Environmental Control Property Rights.

       

      (a)  The
        Environmental Control Property constitutes a present property right that
        will
        continue to exist until the Environmental Control Bonds are paid in full
        and the
        financing costs associated with the Environmental Control Bonds have been
        recovered in full.

       

      (b)  The
        Environmental Control Property consists of (a) the irrevocable right of the
        Seller under the Financing Order to impose, collect and receive Environmental
        Control Charges in the amount necessary to provide for full recovery of
        principal and interest on the Environmental Control Bonds, together with
        the
        Financing Costs; (b) the right under the Financing Order to obtain periodic
        True-Up Adjustments of the Environmental Control Charges and (c) all proceeds
        arising out of the rights and interests described in (a) and (b). The
        Environmental Control Property does not include any right to any revenues,
        collections, claims, rights, payments, money or proceeds of or arising from
        certain tax charges.

        the
        opinion of such counsel, no such action shall be necessary to preserve and

        and
        the Indenture Trustee an Opinion of Counsel from independent tax counsel

        the Seller, the Indenture Trustee or the Environmental Control Bondholders.
        Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the execution of the above
        described agreement of assumption and compliance with clauses (i), (ii),
        (iii)
        and (iv) above shall be conditions precedent to the consummation of any
        transaction referred to in clauses (a), (b), (c) or (d) above.

       

      Section
        5.03.  Limitation
        on Liability of Seller and Others.

      FORM
        OF
        BILL OF SALE

       

      

        1.  This
          Bill
          of Sale is being delivered pursuant to the Transferred Environmental Control
          Property Sale Agreement, dated as of April 11, 2007 (as amended, restated,
          supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Sale Agreement”),
          between PE Renaissance Funding, LLC (the “Seller”) and PE Environmental Funding
          LLC (the “Issuer”) and is subject to all of the terms, conditions and
          limitations contained in the Sale Agreement. All capitalized terms used
          but not
          defined herein have the respective meanings ascribed thereto in the Sale
          Agreement.

        

          2.  In
            consideration of the Issuer’s delivery to or upon the order of the Seller of
            $112,408,504,
            the
            Seller does hereby irrevocably sell, transfer, assign, set over and otherwise
            convey to the Issuer, without recourse (subject to the obligations in
            the Sale
            Agreement), all right, title and interest of the Seller in and to the
            Transferred Environmental Control Property created by the Statute and
            in
            accordance with the Financing Order related to the Senior Secured Sinking
            Fund
            Environmental Control Bonds, Series A and identified on Schedule 1 hereto
            (the
“Initial Transferred Environmental Control Property”) (such sale, transfer,
            assignment, set over and conveyance of the Initial Transferred Environmental
            Control Property includes, to the fullest extent permitted by the Statute,
            the
            assignment of all revenues, collections, claims, rights, payments, money
            or
            proceeds of or arising from the Environmental Control Charges related
            to the
            Initial Transferred Environmental Control Property, as the same may be
            adjusted
            from time to time). Such sale, transfer, assignment, set over and conveyance
            is
            hereby expressly stated to be a sale and, pursuant to Section 24-2-4e(m)(1)
            of
            the Statute, shall be treated as an absolute transfer of all of the Seller’s
            right, title and interest (as in a true sale), and not as a pledge or
            other
            secured transaction, of the Initial Transferred Environmental Control
            Property.
            The Seller agrees and confirms that after giving effect to the sale contemplated
            hereby, it has no rights in the Initial Transferred Environmental Control
            Property to which a security interest of creditors of the Seller could
            attach
            because it has sold all rights in the Initial Transferred Environmental
            Control
            Property to the Issuer pursuant to Section 24-2-4e(m)(1) of the
            Statute.

           

        

      

      3.  The
        Issuer does hereby purchase the Initial Transferred Environmental Control
        Property from the Seller for the consideration set forth in paragraph 2
        above.

       

      4.  The
        Seller and the Issuer each acknowledge and agree that the purchase price
        for the
        Initial Transferred Environmental Control Property sold pursuant to this
        Bill of
        Sale and the Sale Agreement is equal to its fair market value at the time
        of
        sale.

       

      5.  The
        Seller confirms that each of the representations and warranties on the part
        of
        the Seller contained in the Sale Agreement are true and correct in all respects
        on the date hereof as if made on the date hereof.

      6.  This
        Bill
        of Sale may be executed by the parties hereto in separate counterparts, each
        of
        which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all such
        counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same
        instrument.

       

      7.  This
        Bill
        of Sale shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of West
        Virginia, 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.

        WITNESS WHEREOF, the Seller and the Issuer have duly executed this Bill of
        Sale
        as of this 11th day of April, 2007.
