                           MEDIUM-TERM NOTES SERIES B

      Public Service Electric and Gas Company (hereinafter called the
"Company"), a corporation of the State of New Jersey, for value received, hereby
promises to pay to JPMorgan Chase Bank (formerly known as The Chase Manhattan
Bank (National Association)), as trustee under the Indenture of Trust dated as

the surrender hereof, the principal sum of Six Hundred Million Dollars, on
September 1, 2037, and to pay interest thereon from the date hereof, at the rate
of 10% per annum, and until payment of said principal sum, such interest to be
payable March 1 and September 1 in each year; provided, however, that the
Company shall receive certain credits against such obligations as set forth in
the Supplemental Indenture dated September 1, 2002 referred to below.

      Both the principal hereof and interest hereon shall be paid at the
principal corporate trust office of Wachovia Bank, National Association, in the
City of Morristown, State of New Jersey, or (at the option of the registered
owner) at the corporate trust office of any paying agent appointed by the
Company, in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time

debts; provided, however, that any such payments of principal and interest shall
be subject to receipt of certain credits against such payment obligations as set
forth in the Supplemental Indenture dated September 1, 2002 referred to below.

      This Bond is one of the First and Refunding Mortgage Bonds of the Company
issued and to be issued under and pursuant to, and all equally secured by, an
indenture of mortgage or deed of trust dated August 1, 1924, as supplemented and
amended by supplemental indentures thereto, including the Supplemental Indenture
dated September 1, 2002, each duly executed by the Company and Wachovia Bank,
National Association (formerly known as Fidelity Union Trust Company) as
Trustee. This Bond is one of the Bonds of the Medium-Term Notes Series B, which
series is limited to the aggregate principal amount of $600,000,000 and is
issued pursuant to said Supplemental Indenture dated September 1, 2002.
Reference is hereby made to said indenture and all supplements thereto for a
specification of the principal amount of Bonds from time to time issuable
thereunder, and for a description of the properties mortgaged and conveyed or
assigned to said Trustee or its successors, the nature and extent of the
security, and the rights of the holders of said Bonds and any coupons
appurtenant thereto, and of the Trustee in respect of such security.

      In and by said indenture, as amended and supplemented, it is provided that
with the written approval of the Company and the Trustee, any of the provisions
of said indenture may from time to time be eliminated or modified and other
provisions may be added thereto provided the change does nor alter the annual
interest rate, redemption price or date, date of maturity or amount payable on
maturity of any then outstanding Bond or conflict with the Trust Indenture Act
of 1939 as then in effect, and provided the holders of 85% in principal amount
of the Bonds secured by said indenture and then outstanding (including, if such
change affect the Bonds of one or more series but less than all series then
outstanding, a like percentage of the then outstanding Bonds of each series
affected by such change, and excluding Bonds owned or controlled by the Company
or by

<PAGE>

the parties owning at least 10% of the outstanding voting stock of the Company,
as more fully specified in said indenture) consent in writing thereto, all as
more fully set forth in said indenture, as amended and supplemented.

      First and Refunding Mortgage Bonds issuable under said indenture are
issuable in series, and the Bonds of any series may be for varying principal
amounts and in the form of coupon bonds and of registered bonds without coupons,
and the Bonds of any one series may differ from the Bonds of any other series as
to date, maturity, interest rate and otherwise, all as in said indenture
provided and set forth. The Bonds of the Medium-Term Notes Series B, in which
this Bond is included, are designated "First and Refunding Mortgage Bonds,
Medium-Term Notes Series B".

      In case of the happening of an event of default as specified in said
indenture and said supplemental indenture dated March 1, 1942, the principal sum
of the Bonds of this series may be declared or may become due and payable
forthwith, in the manner and with the effect in said indenture provided.

      The Bonds of this series are subject to redemption as provided in the
Supplemental Indenture dated September 1, 2002.

      This Bond is transferable, but only as provided in said indenture and the
Indenture of Trust dated as of July 1, 1993 between the Company and JPMorgan
Chase Bank (formerly known as The Chase Manhattan Bank (National Association)),
as trustee, upon surrender hereof, by the registered owner in person or by
attorney duly authorized in writing, at either of said offices where the
principal hereof and interest hereon are payable; upon any such transfer a new
fully registered Bond similar hereto will be issued to the transferee. This Bond
may in like manner be exchanged for one or more new fully registered Bonds of
the same series of other authorized denominations but of the same aggregate
principal amount. No service charge shall he made for any such transfer or
exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any
tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto. The
Company and the Trustee hereunder and any paying agent may deem and treat the
person in whose name this Bond is registered as the absolute owner hereof for
the purpose of receiving payment of or on account of the principal hereof and
the interest hereon and for all other purposes; and neither the Company nor the
Trustee hereunder nor any paying agent shall be affected by any notice to the
contrary.

      The Bonds of this series are issuable only in fully registered form, in
any denomination authorized by the Company.

      No recourse under or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement contained
in said indenture or in any indenture supplemental thereto, or in any Bond
issued thereunder, or because of any indebtedness arising thereunder, shall be
had against any incorporator, or against any past, present or future
stockholder, officer, or director, as such, of the Company or of any successor
corporation, either directly or through the Company or any successor
corporation, under any rule of law, statute or constitutional provision or by
the enforcement of any assessment or by any legal or equitable proceeding or
otherwise, it being expressly agreed and understood that said indenture, any
indenture supplemental thereto and the obligations issued thereunder, are solely
corporate obligations, and that no personal liability whatever shall attach to,
or be incurred by, such incorporators, stockholders, officers or directors, as
such, of the Company, or of any successor corporation, or any of them, because
of the incurring of the indebtedness thereby authorized, or under or by reason
of any of the obligations, covenants or agreements contained in the indenture or
in any indenture supplemental thereto or in any of the Bonds issued thereunder,
or implied therefrom.

      This Bond shall not be entitled to any security or benefit under said
indenture, as amended and supplemented, and shall not become valid or obligatory
for any purpose, until the certificate of authentication, hereon endorsed, shall
have been signed by Wachovia Bank, National Association as Trustee, or by its
successor in trust under said indenture.

      IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this Bond to be duly executed

      AND THIS SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE FURTHER WITNESSETH that for the
considerations aforesaid, it is hereby covenanted between the Company and the
Trustee as follows:

<PAGE>

                                   ARTICLE I.

                    BONDS OF THE MEDIUM-TERM NOTES SERIES B.

      The series of bonds authorized by this supplemental indenture to be issued
under and secured by the Indenture shall be designated "First and Refunding
Mortgage Bonds, Medium-Term Notes Series B"; shall be limited to the aggregate
principal amount of $600,000,000; shall be issued initially to the Note Trustee
and shall mature and bear interest as set forth in the form of bond set forth
herein; provided, however, that the Company shall receive certain credits
against principal and interest as set forth in Section 3.01 hereof. The date of
each Bond of the Medium-Term Notes Series B shall be the interest payment date
next preceding the date of authentication, unless such date of authentication be
an interest payment date, in which case the date shall be the date of
authentication, or unless such date of authentication be prior to the first
semi-annual interest payment date, in which case the date shall be September 1,
2002. Bonds of the Medium-Term Notes Series B shall be issuable only in the form
of fully registered bonds in any denomination authorized by the Company.
Interest on the Bonds of the Medium-Term Notes Series B shall be payable
semi-annually in arrears on March 1 and September 1 of each year, payable
initially on March 1, 2003, subject to receipt of certain credits against
principal and interest as set forth in Section 3.01 hereof and shall be payable
as to both principal and interest in such coin or currency of the United States
of America as at the time of payment shall constitute legal tender for the
payment of public and private debts, at the principal corporate trust office of
the Trustee, or at the corporate trust office of any paying agent appointed.
Bonds of the Medium-Term Notes Series B shall be transferable and exchangeable,
but only as provided in the Indenture and the Note Indenture, upon surrender
thereof for cancellation by the registered owner in person or by attorney duly
authorized in writing at either of said offices. The Company hereby waives any
right to make a charge for any transfer or exchange of Bonds of the Medium-Term
Notes Series B, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover
any tax or any other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation
thereto.

                                   ARTICLE II.

               REDEMPTION OF BONDS OF MEDIUM-TERM NOTES SERIES B.

      SECTION 2.01. Redemption--Redemption Price. Bonds of the Medium-Term Notes
Series B shall be subject to redemption prior to maturity under the conditions,
and upon payment of the amounts as may be specified in the following conditions:

     (a) at any time in whole or in part at the option of the Company upon
     receipt by the Trustee of written certification of the Company and of the
     Note Trustee that the principal amount of the Series B Notes then
     outstanding under the Note Indenture is not in excess of such principal
     amount of the Bonds of the Medium-Term Notes Series B as shall remain
     pledged to the Note Trustee after giving effect to such redemption; or (b)
     at any time by the application of any proceeds of released property or
     other money held by the Trustee and which, pursuant to Section 4C of
     Article Eight of the Indenture, as amended and supplemented, are applied to
     the redemption of Bonds of the Medium-Term Notes Series B, upon payment of
     100% of the principal amount thereof, together with interest accrued to the
     redemption date, provided that any such payment shall be subject to receipt
     by the Company of certain credits against such obligations as set forth in
     Section 3.01 hereof.

      SECTION 2.02. Redemptions Pursuant to Section 4C of Article Eight of the
Indenture. If, pursuant to Section 4C of Article Eight of the Indenture, as
amended and supplemented, any proceeds of released property or other money then
held by the Trustee shall be applied to the redemption of the Bonds of the
Medium-Term Notes Series B, the Trustee shall give at least 45 days prior
written notice of such redemption to the Note Trustee whereupon on the date
fixed for redemption such principal amount thereof as is equal to such proceeds
shall be redeemed; provided that no such redemption shall be made unless the
Trustee shall be in receipt of a written certification of the Company and the
Note Trustee that a like principal amount of Series B Notes shall have been
theretofore redeemed in accordance with the provisions of the Note Indenture.
For purposes of determining which of the Company's First and Refunding Mortgage
Bonds are subject to such mandatory redemption, the Mortgage Trustee shall
consider the 10% stated annual interest rate of the Bonds of the Medium-Term
Notes Series B, not the weighted average interest rate of outstanding Series B
Notes. Bonds of said series so redeemed shall be cancelled.

<PAGE>

      SECTION 2.03. Interest on Called Bonds to Cease. Each Bond of the
Medium-Term Notes Series B or portion thereof called for redemption under
Section 2.02 hereof shall be due and payable at the office of the Note Trustee,
as paying agent hereunder, at its redemption price and on the specified
redemption date, anything herein or in such Bond to the contrary
notwithstanding. From and after the date when each Bond of the Medium-Term Notes
Series B or portion thereof shall be due and payable as aforesaid (unless upon
said date the full amount due thereon shall not be held by the Note Trustee, as
paying agent hereunder, and be immediately available for payment), all further
interest shall cease to accrue on such bond or on such portion thereof, as the
case may be.

      SECTION 2.04. Bonds Called in Part. If only a portion of any Bond of the
Medium-Term Notes Series B shall be called for redemption pursuant to Section
2.02 hereof, upon payment of the portion so called for redemption, the Note
Trustee shall make an appropriate notation upon the Bond of the principal amount
so redeemed. SECTION 2.05. Provisions of Indenture Not Applicable. The
provisions of Article Four of the Indenture, as amended and supplemented, shall
not apply to the procedure for the exercise of any right of redemption reserved
by the Company, or to any mandatory redemption provided, in this Article in
respect of the Bonds of the Medium-Term Notes Series B. There shall be no
sinking fund for the Bonds of the Medium-Term Notes Series B.

                                  ARTICLE III.

        CREDITS WITH RESPECT TO BONDS OF THE MEDIUM-TERM NOTES SERIES B.

      SECTION 3.01. Credits. In addition to any other credit, payment or
satisfaction to which the Company is entitled with respect to the Bonds of the
Medium-Term Notes Series B, the Company shall be entitled to credits against
amounts otherwise payable in respect of the Bonds of the Medium-Term Notes
Series B in an amount corresponding to (i) the principal amount of any of the
Company's Series B Notes issued under the Note Indenture surrendered to the Note
Trustee by the Company, or purchased by the Note Trustee, for cancellation, (ii)
the amount of money held by the Note Trustee and available and designated for
the payment of principal or redemption price (exclusive of any premium) of,
and/or interest on, the Series B Notes, regardless of the source of payment to
the Note Trustee of such moneys and (iii) the amount by which principal of and
interest due on the Bonds of the Medium-Term Notes Series B exceeds principal of
and interest due on the Series B Notes. The Note Trustee shall make notation on
such Bonds authorized hereby of any such credit.

      SECTION 3.02. Certificate of the Company. A certificate of the Company
signed by the President or any Vice President, and attested to by the Secretary
or any Assistant Secretary, and consented to by the Note Trustee, stating that
the Company is entitled to a credit under Section 3.01 hereof or that Bonds of
the Medium-Term Notes Series B have been cancelled, and setting forth the basis
therefor in reasonable detail, shall be conclusive evidence of such entitlement,
and the Trustee shall accept such certificate as such evidence without further
investigation or verification of the matters stated therein.

                                   ARTICLE IV.

                                 MISCELLANEOUS.

      SECTION 4.01. Authentication of Bonds of Medium-Term Notes Series B. None
of the Bonds of the Medium-Term Notes Series B, the issue of which is provided
for by this supplemental indenture, shall be authenticated by or on behalf of
the Trustee except in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture, as
amended and supplemented, and this supplemental indenture, and upon compliance
with the conditions in that behalf therein contained.

      SECTION 4.02. Additional Restrictions on Authentication of Additional
Bonds Under Indenture. The Company covenants that from and after the date of
execution of this supplemental indenture no additional bonds (as defined in
Section 1 of Article Two of the Indenture) shall be authenticated and delivered
by the Trustee under Subdivision A of Section 4 of said Article Two on account
of additions or improvements to the mortgaged property;

          (1) unless the net earnings of the Company for the period required by
     Subdivision C of Section 6 of said Article Two shall have been at least
     twice the fixed charges (in lieu of 13/4 times such fixed charges, as
     required by said Subdivision C); and for the purpose of this condition (a)
     such fixed charges shall in each case include interest on the bonds applied
     for, notwithstanding the parenthetical provision contained in clause (4) of
     said Subdivision C, and (b) in computing such net earnings there shall be
     included in expenses of operation (under paragraph (c) of said Subdivision
     C) all charges against earnings for depreciation, renewals or replacements,
     and all certificates with respect to net earnings delivered to the Trustee
     in connection with any authentication of additional bonds under said
     Article Two shall so state; and (2) except to the extent of 60% (in lieu of
     75% as permitted by Subdivision A of Section 7 of said Article Two) of the
     cost or fair value to the Company of the additions or improvements forming
     the basis for such authentication of additional bonds.

<PAGE>

      SECTION 4.03. Restriction on Dividends. The Company will not declare or
pay any dividend on any shares of its common stock (other than dividends payable
in shares of its common stock) or make any other distribution on any such
shares, or purchase or otherwise acquire any such shares (except shares acquired
without cost to the Company) whenever such action would reduce the earned
surplus of the Company to an amount less than $10,000,000 or such lesser amount
as may remain after deducting from said $10,000,000 all amounts appearing in the
books of account of the Company on December 31, 1948, which shall thereafter,
pursuant to any order or rule of any regulatory body entered after said date, be
required to be removed, in whole or in part, from the books of account of the
Company by charges to earned surplus.

      SECTION 4.04. Use of Facsimile Seal and Signatures. The seal of the
Company and any or all signatures of the officers of the Company upon any of the
Bonds of the Medium-Term Notes Series B may be facsimiles.

      SECTION 4.05. Time for Making of Payment. All payments of principal or
redemption price of, and interest on, the Bonds of the Medium-Term Notes Series
B shall be made either prior to the due date thereof or on the due date thereof
in immediately available funds. In any case where the date of any such payment
shall be a Saturday or Sunday or a legal holiday or a day on which banking
institutions in the city of payment are authorized by law to close, then such
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 due date, and no
interest on such payment shall accrue for the period after such date.

      SECTION 4.06. Effective Period of Supplemental Indenture. The preceding
provisions of Articles I, II and III of this supplemental indenture shall remain
in effect only so long as any of the Bonds of the Medium-Term Notes Series B
shall remain outstanding.

      SECTION 4.07. Effect of Approval of Board of Regulatory Commissioners of
the State of New Jersey. The approval of the Board of Public Utilities of the
State of New Jersey of the execution and delivery of these presents and of the
issue of any Bond of the Medium-Term Notes Series B shall not be construed as
approval of said Board of any other act, matter or thing which requires approval
of said Board under the laws of the State of New Jersey.

      SECTION 4.08. Execution in Counterparts. For the purpose of facilitating
the recording hereof, this supplemental indenture has been executed in several
counterparts, each of which shall be and shall be taken to be an original, and
all collectively but one instrument.

to invest the proceeds from such issuances in $474,226,850 aggregate principal
amount of the Notes.

      NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the purchase of the Notes by
the Trust, it is mutually agreed, for the equal and proportionate benefit of the
Trust and any other future holders of the Notes (the "Holders"), as follows:

                                  ARTICLE TWO
                         TERMS AND ISSUANCE OF THE NOTES

      Section 201. Issue of Notes. A series of Securities which shall be
designated the "Senior Deferrable Notes due 2007" shall be executed,
authenticated and delivered in accordance with the provisions of, and shall in
all respects be subject to, the terms, conditions and covenants of the Indenture
and this First Supplemental Indenture (including the forms of Notes set forth as
Exhibits A, B and C hereto). The Notes will constitute unsecured and
unsubordinated indebtedness of the Company and will rank equally with all other
existing or future unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness of the Company. The
aggregate principal amount of Notes of the series created hereby which may be
authenticated and delivered under the Indenture shall not, except as permitted
by the provisions of the Indenture, exceed $474,226,850. The Notes shall be
initially issued in certificated form to the Trust (the "Initial Notes") and
shall be substantially in the Form of Exhibit A hereto. The Notes will be issued
in denominations of $50 and integral multiples thereof. The terms of such Notes
are herein incorporated by reference and made part of this First Supplemental
Indenture.

      Section 202. Maturity. Unless a Tax Event Redemption occurs or the Notes
are repurchased by the Company at the Holders' option following a Failed
Secondary Remarketing as described in Section 205(b), the entire principal
amount of the Notes will mature and become due and payable, together with any
accrued and unpaid interest thereon, on November 16, 2007 (the "Maturity Date").

      Section 203. Liquidation or Dissolution of Trust. In the event of an
involuntary or voluntary liquidation and dissolution of the Trust (other than in
connection with a Tax Event Redemption):

            (a) With respect to Separate Preferred Securities held in book-entry
form, Initial Notes in an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate
liquidation amount of such Separate Preferred Securities may be presented to the
Trustee by the Property Trustee, along with written certification by the
Property Trustee that the Separate Preferred Securities are held in book-entry
form, in exchange for a global Security (a "Global Note") in the form of Exhibit
B in an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate amount of Initial
Notes so presented to the Trustee by the Property Trustee. The securities
depositary for the Global Note will be The Depository Trust Company (the
"Depositary"). The Global Note will be registered in the name of the Depositary
or its nominee, and delivered by the Trustee to the Depositary or a custodian
appointed by the Depositary for crediting to the accounts of its participants
pursuant to the instructions of the Property Trustee. The Company, upon any such
presentation, shall

                                       2
<PAGE>

execute a Global Note in such aggregate principal amount and deliver the same to
the Trustee for authentication and delivery in accordance with the Indenture and
this First Supplemental Indenture. Payments on the Notes issued as a Global Note
will be made to the Depositary or its nominee.

            (b) With respect to Pledged Preferred Securities, Initial Notes may
be presented to the Trustee by the Property Trustee, along with written
identification by the Property Trustee of the certificate or certificates
representing such Pledged Preferred Securities and of the liquidation amount
thereof, in exchange for a certificated Security (a "Certificated Note") in the
form of Exhibit C representing a Pledged Note (as such term is defined in the
Pledge Agreement) in an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate amount
of Initial Notes so presented to the Trustee by the Property Trustee. The
Pledged Notes shall be registered in the name of the Purchase Contract Agent as
attorney in fact for the holders of the Corporate Units and delivered by the
Trustee to the Collateral Agent for credit to the Collateral Account (as such
term is defined in the Purchase Contract Agreement) pursuant to the instructions
of the Property Trustee. The Company, upon any such presentation, shall execute
a Certificated Note in such aggregate principal amount and deliver the same to
the Trustee for authentication and delivery in accordance with the Indenture and
this First Supplemental Indenture.

            (c) Each such Global Note and Pledged Note shall represent such
number of the Outstanding Notes as shall be from time to time endorsed thereon,
which numbers may be increased or decreased, as applicable, to reflect, in
connection with the creation of Treasury Units and the recreation of Corporate
Units, transfers between Pledged Notes and Separate Notes (as such term is
defined in the Pledge Agreement). Any such increase or decrease in the aggregate
number of Notes represented by (i) a Pledged Note shall be made by the
Collateral Agent and (ii) a Global Note shall be made by the Trustee, as
custodian of the Global Notes, in each case upon the instructions of the
Collateral Agent given pursuant to Article 4 of the Pledge Agreement.

      Section 204. Interest.

            (a) Subject to Section 204(c) below, each Note will bear interest at
the rate of 6.25% per annum from September 10, 2002, payable quarterly in
arrears on February 16, May 16, August 16 and November 16 of each year,
commencing November 16, 2002; provided that, following the Reset Effective Date,
interest shall be payable semi-annually in arrears on each May 16 and November
16, commencing November 16, 2005, in the event that the Notes are successfully
remarketed on the Initial Remarketing Date, or May 16, 2006, in the event that
the Notes are successfully remarketed on the Secondary Remarketing Date.

            If the Reset Effective Date is the Initial Reset Date and such date
is not otherwise a scheduled Interest Payment Date, an interest payment shall be
payable on the Initial Reset Date equal to the amount of interest accrued on the
Notes from the most recent Interest Payment Date to but excluding the Initial
Reset Date. In such case, interest payable on the Interest Payment Date next
following the Initial Reset Date shall equal the amount of interest accrued from
and including the Initial Reset Date to but excluding such Interest Payment
Date.

                                       3
<PAGE>

            Each date on which interest is payable on the Notes in accordance
with this Section 204(a) is referred to as an "Interest Payment Date."

            (b) The Regular Record Dates for the payment of interest on the
Notes on any Interest Payment Date shall be (i) as long as the Notes are
represented by Initial Notes or Certificated Notes (whether issued pursuant to
Section 203(b) or otherwise in accordance with the terms of the Indenture), the
fifteenth Business Day prior to each Interest Payment Date or (ii) if the Notes
are issued pursuant to Section 203(a) above, the Business Day preceding each
Interest Payment Date.

            (c) The interest rate on the Notes outstanding on and after the
Initial Remarketing Date will be reset to the Reset Rate, and interest will
accrue at the Reset Rate from and including the Initial Reset Date except in the
event of a Failed Initial Remarketing. In the event of a Failed Initial
Remarketing, the interest rate on the Notes outstanding on and after the
Secondary Remarketing Date will be reset to the Reset Rate, and interest will
accrue at the Reset Rate from and including the Purchase Contract Settlement
Date, except that in the event of a Failed Secondary Remarketing, the interest
rate on the Notes will not be reset and the scheduled Interest Payment Dates
shall remain February 16, May 16, August 16 and November 16. On the applicable
Reset Announcement Date, the applicable Reset Spread and the Appropriate
Benchmark Treasury or Two-Year Benchmark Treasury, as applicable, will be
announced by the Company. On the Business Day immediately following such Reset
Announcement Date, the Holders of Notes will be notified of such Reset Spread
and Appropriate Benchmark Treasury or Two-Year Benchmark Treasury, as
applicable, by the Company. Such notice shall be sufficiently given to such
Holders of Notes if published in a newspaper that is published each business day
in the English language of general circulation in The City of New York, which is
expected to be The Wall Street Journal.

            (d) Not later than seven calendar days nor more than 15 calendar
days immediately preceding the Initial Remarketing Date or the Secondary
Remarketing Date, as the case may be, the Company will request that the
Depositary or its nominee (or any successor Depositary or its nominee) notify
the Holders of Notes of the Initial Remarketing or the Secondary Remarketing, as
the case may be, and, in the case of a Secondary Remarketing, the procedures to
be followed by such holders of Notes wishing to settle the related Purchase
Contracts with separate cash on the Business Day immediately preceding the
Purchase Contract Settlement Date.

            (e) The amount of interest payable on the Notes for any period will
be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. In the event
that any date on which interest is payable on the Notes is not a Business Day,
then payment of the interest payable on such date will be made on the next day
that is a Business Day (and without interest or other payment in respect of any
such delay), except that, if such Business Day is in the next calendar year,
then such payment will be made on the preceding Business Day.

      Section 205. Redemption and Repurchase.

            (a) If a Tax Event occurs and is continuing, the Company may, at its
option and upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days' notice to the Holders of
the Notes,

                                       4
<PAGE>

redeem the Notes in whole (but not in part) at a price per Note equal to the
Redemption Amount, plus any accrued and unpaid interest (including compound
interest, if any) to the Tax Event Redemption Date (as defined below). If the
Company elects to redeem the Notes following the occurrence of a Tax Event, (i)
the Company shall certify in writing to the Trustee the occurrence of the Tax
Event and the applicable Redemption Amount; (ii) the aggregate Redemption
Amount, plus any accrued and unpaid interest (including compound interest, if
any) to the Tax Event Redemption Date, shall be paid prior to 12:00 noon, New
York City time, on the date of redemption (the "Tax Event Redemption Date") by
check or wire transfer in immediately available funds at such place and to such
account as may be designated by each such Holder; (iii) the Company shall
appoint a Quotation Agent to assemble (or, in the event of a Tax Event
Redemption Date following a successful Remarketing) to ascertain the purchase
price of the Treasury Portfolio in consultation with the Company; and (iv) such
redemption shall otherwise be in accordance with the provisions of Article 11 of
the Indenture.

            (b) If a Failed Secondary Remarketing has occurred, holders of Notes
who hold such Notes following the Purchase Contract Settlement Date will have
the right to deliver the Notes to the Company for repurchase on December 1, 2005
(the "Note Repurchase Date"), upon at least three Business Days prior notice, at
a price per Note equal to the principal amount of such Notes plus any accrued
and unpaid interest (the "Note Put Price").

            (c) In order for the Notes to be repurchased on the Note Repurchase
Date, the Trustee must receive on or prior to 5:00 p.m. New York City time on
the third Business Day immediately preceding the Note Repurchase Date, at its
Corporate Trust Office or at an office or agency maintained by the Company in
the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, the Notes to be repurchased with
the form entitled "Option to Elect Repurchase" on the reverse of or otherwise
accompanying such Notes duly completed. Any such notice received by the Trustee
shall be irrevocable. All questions as to the validity, eligibility (including
time of receipt) and acceptance of the Notes for repayment shall be determined
by the Company, whose determination shall be final and binding.

            (d) Payment of the Note Put Price shall be made through the Trustee,
subject to the Trustee's receipt of payment from the Company in accordance with
the terms of the Indenture, no later than 12:00 noon, New York City time, on the
Note Repurchase Date, and to such account as may be designated. Neither the
Trustee nor the Company will be required to register or cause to be registered
the transfer of any Note for which repayment has been elected.

            (e) Unless the Company defaults in its obligation to pay the
Redemption Amount, plus any accrued and unpaid interest including compound
interest or the Note Put Price, on and after the Tax Event Redemption Date or
the Note Repurchase Date, as the case may be, interest shall cease to accrue on
the Notes so redeemed.

            (f) Except as provided in Section 205(a), the Company will have no
right to redeem the Notes.

            (g) The Notes will not be subject to a sinking fund provision.

                                       5
<PAGE>

            (h) The Company will have no right to satisfy and discharge any of
its obligations on the Notes by making, or causing to be made, any deposit of
money or Government Obligations provided for by Article Fourteen of the
Indenture.

      Section 206. Events of Default. So long as the Notes are held by the
Property Trustee, it shall be an Event of Default with respect to the Notes if
the Trust shall have voluntarily or involuntarily dissolved, wound up its
business or otherwise terminated its existence except in connection with (i) the
distribution of the Notes held by the Property Trustee to the holders of the
Preferred Securities and Common Securities in liquidation of their interests in
the Trust; (ii) the redemption of all of the outstanding Preferred Securities
and Common Securities; or (iii) a consolidation, conversion, amalgamation,
merger or other transaction involving the Trust that is permitted under Article
IX of the Declaration.

      Section 207. Extension of Interest Payment Period.

            (a) The Company shall have the right at any time and from time to
time, so long as no Event of Default with respect to the Notes has occurred and
is continuing, to defer payments of interest by extending the interest payment
period of such Notes for a period not extending beyond the Maturity Date (an
"Extension Period"), during which Extension Period no interest shall be due and
payable; provided however, upon no less than two Business Days' notice to the
Remarketing Agent prior to the Initial Remarketing Date or the Secondary
Remarketing Date, as the case may be, the Company may elect that payments of
interest will not be deferrable after the Reset Effective Date. To the extent
permitted by applicable law, interest, the payment of which has been deferred
because of the extension of the interest payment period pursuant to this Section
207, will accrue (i) in the event of an Extension Period prior to the Reset
Effective Date or in the event of a Failed Secondary Remarketing, at the rate of
10.25% per annum, and (ii) in the event of an Extension Period, if any,
following the Reset Effective Date, at the Reset Rate per annum, in either case
until such Deferred Interest is paid. Deferred Interest shall be compounded
("Compounded Interest") (x) quarterly for each quarter of such Extension Period
prior to the Reset Effective Date, (y) quarterly for each quarter of such
Extension Period prior to November 16, 2007 in the event of a Failed Secondary
Remarketing, or (z) semiannually for each semiannual period of such Extension
Period, if any, subsequent to the Reset Effective Date. At the end of such
Extension Period, the Company shall pay all interest accrued and unpaid on the
Notes and Compounded Interest (together, "Deferred Interest") that shall be
payable to the Holders of the Notes in whose names the Notes are registered in
the Security Register on the first Regular Record Date after the end of the
Extension Period. Prior to the expiration of any Extension Period, the Company
may further extend such period, provided that such period together with all such
previous and further extensions thereof shall not extend beyond the Maturity
Date. Upon termination of any Extension Period and the payment of all Deferred
Interest then due, the Company may commence a new Extension Period, provided
that such Extension Period, together with all extensions thereof, may not extend
beyond the Maturity Date. No interest shall be due and payable during an
Extension Period except at the end thereof, but the Company, at its option, may
prepay on any Interest Payment Date all or any portion of the interest accrued
during the then elapsed portion of an Extension Period.

                                       6
<PAGE>

            (b) In the event of a Failed Secondary Remarketing, the Company
shall pay all Deferred Interest on the Purchase Contract Settlement Date to the
Holders of record as of the applicable Regular Record Date.

            (c) The Company's deferral of interest payments during an Extension
Period shall not constitute an Event of Default pursuant to Section 501(1) of
the Indenture.

            (d) All Deferred Interest shall be deemed paid by the Company upon
the occurrence of the Reset Effective Date.

      Section 208. Notice of Extension. The Company shall give written notice to
the Trustee (and the Trustee shall give notice thereof to Holders of Notes) of
its election of any Extension Period (or any further extension thereof) at least
ten Business Days before the earlier of (i) the date on which interest on the
Notes would have been payable except for the election to begin or extend the
Extension Period (whether or not an Interest Payment Date), (ii) the date the
Trustee is required to give notice to any securities exchange or to Holders of
Notes of such date on which interest on the Notes would have been payable, or
(iii) the Regular Record Date on which interest on the Notes would have been
payable.

      Section 209. Place of Payment. The Place of Payment will be initially the
principal corporate trust office of the Trustee which, at the date hereof, is
located at 21 South Street, Morristown, New Jersey 07960.

                                  ARTICLE THREE
                                    EXPENSES

      Section 301. Payment of Expenses. In connection with the offering, sale
and issuance of the Notes to the Trust in connection with the sale of the
Preferred Securities and Common Securities by the Trust, the Company will pay
for all costs and expenses relating to the offering, sale and issuance of the
Notes, including compensation of the Trustee under the Indenture in accordance
with the provisions of Section 606 of the Indenture.

                                  ARTICLE FOUR
                                    COVENANTS

      Section 401. Covenants during an Extension Period or in the Event of an
Event of Default. During an Extension Period or if an Event of Default with
respect to the Notes occurs and is continuing, the Company shall not, and shall
not permit any of its subsidiaries to:

            (a) redeem, purchase, acquire, or make a liquidation payment with
respect to, any of its capital stock;

            (b) declare or pay any dividends or distributions on its capital
stock;

            (c) make any distribution on any trust preferred security that ranks
pari passu with the Preferred Securities or pay interest on senior debt with
similar deferral provisions to the Notes; or

                                       7
<PAGE>

            (d) make any payment of principal, interest or premium, if any, on
or repay, repurchase or redeem any debt securities issued by the Company that
rank subordinate in right of payment to, the Notes or make any guarantee
payments with respect to any guarantee by the Company of the debt of any
subsidiary of the Company if such guarantee ranks subordinate in right of
payment to, the Notes.

      Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company and any of its subsidiaries may
(i) purchase or acquire capital stock of the Company or such subsidiary in
connection with the satisfaction by the Company or such subsidiary of its
obligations under any employee or director compensation or benefit plans, under
its direct stock purchase and dividend reinvestment plan or pursuant to any
contract or security outstanding on the first day of any such Extension Period
or Event of Default, as the case may be, requiring the Company or such
subsidiary to purchase capital stock of the Company or such subsidiary, (ii)
reclassify the Company's or such subsidiary's capital stock or exchange or
convert one class or series of the Company's or such subsidiary's capital stock
for another class or series of the Company's or such subsidiary's capital stock,
(iii) purchase fractional interests in shares of the Company's or such
subsidiary's capital stock pursuant to the conversion or exchange provisions of
such capital stock or the security being converted or exchanged, (iv) redeem or
repurchase any rights pursuant to a rights agreement or (vi) make payments under
the Guarantee.

      Section 402. Additional Covenants Relating to the Trust. As long as the
Preferred Securities remain outstanding, the Company

            (a) maintain, directly or indirectly, 100% ownership of the Common
Securities;

            (b) cause the Trust to remain a statutory trust and not to
voluntarily dissolve, wind up, liquidate or be terminated, except as permitted
by the Declaration;

            (c) use its commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that the Trust
will not be an "investment company" required to be registered under the 1940
Act;

            (d) not take any action that would be reasonably likely to cause the
Trust to be classified as an association, a partnership or a publicly traded
partnership taxable as a corporation for United States federal income tax
purposes; and

            (e) pay all of the debts and obligations of the Trust (other than
with respect to the securities issued by the Trust) and all costs and expenses
of the Trust (including, but not limited to, all costs and expenses relating to
the organization of the Trust, the fees and expenses of the Property Trustee,
the Delaware Trustee and the Administrative Trustees and all costs and expenses
relating to the operation of the Trust) and any and all taxes, duties,
assessments or governmental charges of whatever nature (other than withholding
taxes) imposed on the Trust by the United States, or any other taxing authority,
so that the net amounts received and retained by the Trust after paying such
expenses will be equal to the amounts the Trust would have received had no
debts, obligations, costs, expenses, taxes, duties, assessments or governmental
charges been incurred by or imposed on the Trust.

                                  ARTICLE SIX
                    RIGHTS OF HOLDERS OF PREFERRED SECURITIES

      Section 601. Preferred Security Holders' Rights. If the Property Trustee
fails to enforce its rights under the Notes in accordance with Section 507 of
the Indenture after a holder of Preferred Securities has made a written request,
the holder of Preferred Securities may, to the fullest extent permitted by law,
institute a legal proceeding directly against the Company in accordance with
Section 507 of the Indenture to enforce the Property Trustee's rights under the
Indenture without first instituting any legal proceeding against the Property
Trustee or any other Person.

      Section 602. Direct Action. Notwithstanding any other provision of the
Indenture, for as long as any Preferred Securities remain outstanding, to the
fullest extent permitted by law, if an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing and such event is attributable to the failure of the Company to pay
interest or principal on the Notes on the date such interest or principal is
otherwise payable (or in the case of a Tax Event Redemption or a repurchase of
the Notes pursuant to Section 205(b), the Tax Event Redemption Date or the
Repurchase Date), then a holder of Preferred Securities may institute a
proceeding directly against the Company (a "Direct Action") to enforce payment
to such holder of the principal or interest on Notes having an aggregate
principal amount equal to the aggregate liquidation amount of the Preferred
Securities of such holder.

      Section 603. Payments Pursuant to Direct Actions. The Company will have
the right to set off against its obligations to the Trust, as Holder of the
Notes, any payment made to a holder of Preferred Securities in connection with a
Direct Action.

      Section 604. Modifications. So long as any Preferred Securities remain
outstanding, (i) no amendment to this First Supplemental Indenture or the
Indenture shall be made that adversely affects the holders of the Preferred
Securities in any material respect, and no termination of this First
Supplemental Indenture or the Indenture shall occur, and no waiver of any Event
of Default or compliance with any covenant under this First Supplemental
Indenture or the Indenture shall be effective, without the prior consent of the
holders of at least a majority in aggregate Liquidation Amount of the
Outstanding Preferred Securities unless and until the principal of the Notes and
all accrued and unpaid interest thereon have been paid in full, and (ii) no
amendment shall be made to this Article Six of this First Supplemental Indenture
that would impair the rights of the holders of the Preferred Securities without
the prior consent of the holders of each Outstanding Preferred Security unless
and until the principal of the Notes and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon
have been paid in full.

      Section 701. Effectiveness of this Article. Upon a distribution of the
Notes upon the liquidation and dissolution of the Trust which occurs prior to
the Initial Remarketing Date or, in the event of a Failed Initial Remarketing,
the Secondary Remarketing Date, the Notes shall be remarketed in accordance with
the procedures (the "Remarketing Procedures") relating to Remarketing set forth
in the Declaration and the Remarketing Agreement. In such case, the Notes shall
be remarketed in accordance with the Remarketing Procedures as and to the extent
that they were Preferred Securities and all references in the Remarketing
Procedures to (i) the Preferred Securities shall be read as references to the
Notes and (ii) the Property Trustee shall be read as references to the Indenture
Trustee, unless the context requires otherwise. Until such a distribution, or if
such distribution occurs after the Remarketing of the Preferred Securities
pursuant to the Declaration or the Purchase Contract Settlement Date, this
Article Seven will have no effect.

                            ACCELERATION OF MATURITY

      Section 801. Automatic Acceleration. If an Event of Default with respect
to the Notes specified in clause (5) or (6) of Section 501 of the Indenture
occurs and is continuing, the principal of the Notes shall become due and
payable immediately, without any declaration, notice or other act on the part of
the Trustee or any holder thereof.

      PUBLIC SERVICE ENTERPRISE GROUP INCORPORATED, a corporation duly organized

"Company," which term includes any successor corporation under the Indenture
hereinafter referred to herein), for value received, hereby promises to pay
Wachovia Bank, National Association, as Property Trustee for PSEG Funding Trust
I, or registered assigns, the principal sum of $474,226,850 (Four Hundred
Seventy Four Million, Two Hundred Twenty Six Thousand, Eight Hundred and Fifty
Dollars) on November 16, 2007, and to pay interest on said principal sum from
September 10, 2002, or from the most recent Interest Payment Date to which
interest has been paid or duly provided for, at the rate of 6.25% per annum to
but excluding the Reset Effective Date, and at the Reset Rate thereafter (which
rate shall not be higher than the maximum rate permitted by law) or, in the
event of a Failed Secondary Remarketing, to but excluding November 16, 2007,
until the principal hereof shall have become due and payable. The Company shall
pay interest on any overdue principal and premium, if any, and (without
duplication and to the extent that payment of such interest is enforceable under
applicable law) on any overdue installment of interest at 10.25% per annum to
but excluding the Reset Effective Date, and at the Reset Rate thereafter,
compounded quarterly (prior to the Reset Effective Date) or semiannually (on and
after the Reset Effective Date). Interest shall be payable quarterly in arrears
on February 16, May 16, August 16 and November 16 of each year, commencing
November 16, 2002; provided that, following the Reset Effective Date, interest
shall be payable semi-annually in arrears on each May 16 and November 16,
commencing November 16, 2005 (in the event that the Reset Effective Date is also
the Initial Reset Date) or May 16, 2006 (in the event that the Reset Effective
Date is also the Purchase Contract Settlement Date). If the Reset Effective Date

payable hereon is referred to herein as an "Interest Payment Date." The amount
of interest payable for any period will be computed on the basis of a 360-day
year of twelve 30-day months. In the event that any date on which interest is
payable is not a Business Day, then payment of the interest payable on such date
will be made on the next day that is a Business Day (and without any interest or
other payment in respect of such delay), except that, if such Business Day is in
the next calendar year, then such payment will be made on the preceding Business
Day. The interest installment so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided

herein, be paid to the Holder in whose name this Note (or one or more
Predecessor Notes, as defined in said Indenture) is registered at the close of
business on the Regular Record Date for such interest installment, which shall
be the close of business on the Business Day preceding such Interest Payment
Date. Any such interest installment not punctually paid or duly provided for

Predecessor Notes) is registered at the close of business on a Special Record
Date to be fixed by the Trustee referred to on the reverse side hereof for the
payment of such defaulted interest, notice whereof shall be given to the Holders
of this Note not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date, or may be
paid at any time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the
requirements of any securities exchange on which this Note may be listed, and
upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, all as more fully provided
in the Indenture.

      Payment of the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on this Note
will be made at the office or agency of the Trustee maintained for that purpose
in such coin or currency of the United States of America that at the time of
payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts. The Company may
pay principal and interest by check payable in such money mailed to the Holder's
registered address or by wire transfer to a dollar account designated by the
Holder.

      Interest on this Note is deferrable, at the election of the Company, in
accordance with the terms of the First Supplemental Indenture, dated as of
September 10, 2002 (the "First Supplemental Indenture"), between the Company and
Wachovia Bank, National Association, as Trustee. Any deferred interest shall
accrue interest at the rate set forth in the First Supplemental Indenture.

      This Note is, to the extent provided in the Indenture, unsecured and will
rank in right of payment equally with all other unsecured and unsubordinated
obligations of the Company.

      Additional provisions of this Note are set forth on the reverse side
hereof, and such provisions shall for all purposes have the same effect as
though fully set forth at this place.

      Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by or on
behalf of the Trustee referred to on the reverse hereof by manual signature,
this Note shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture or be valid

      PUBLIC SERVICE ENTERPRISE GROUP INCORPORATED, a corporation duly organized
and existing under the laws of the State of New Jersey (herein called the
"Company," which term includes any successor corporation under the Indenture
hereinafter referred to herein), for value received, hereby promises to pay
Wachovia Bank, National Association, as Purchase Contract Agent pursuant to the
Purchase Contract Agreement (as defined in the Indenture), or registered
assigns, the principal sum of $[ ] ([ ]) or such other principal sum as is
reflected in the Schedule of Increases or Decreases attached hereto on November
16, 2007, and to pay interest on said principal sum from September 10, 2002, or
from the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or
duly provided for, at the rate of 6.25% per annum to but excluding the Reset
Effective Date, and at the Reset Rate thereafter (which rate shall not be higher
than the maximum rate permitted by law) or, in the event of a Failed Secondary
Remarketing, to but excluding November 16, 2007, until the principal hereof
shall have become due and payable. The Company shall pay interest on any overdue
principal and premium, if any, and (without duplication and to the extent that
payment of such interest is enforceable under applicable law) on any overdue
installment of interest at 10.25% per annum to but excluding the Reset Effective
Date, and at the Reset Rate thereafter, compounded quarterly (prior to the Reset
Effective Date) or semiannually (on and after the Reset Effective Date).
Interest shall be payable quarterly in arrears on February 16, May 16, August 16
and November 16 of each year, commencing November 16, 2002; provided that,
following the Reset Effective Date, interest shall be payable semiannually in
arrears on each May 16 and November 16, commencing November 16, 2005 (in the
event that the Reset Effective Date is also the Initial Reset Date) or May 16,
2006 (in the event that the Reset Effective Date is also the Purchase Contract
Settlement Date). If the Reset Effective Date is the Initial Reset Date and such
date is not otherwise a scheduled Interest Payment Date, an interest payment
shall be payable on the Initial Reset Date equal to the amount of interest
accrued on the Notes from the most recent Interest Payment Date to but excluding
the Initial Reset Date. In such case, interest payable on the Interest Payment
Date next following the Initial Reset Date shall equal the

                                      C-1
<PAGE>

amount of interest accrued from and including the Initial Reset Date to but
excluding such Interest Payment Date. Each date on which interest is payable
hereon is referred to herein as an "Interest Payment Date." The amount of
interest payable for any period will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year
of twelve 30-day months. In the event that any date on which interest is payable
is not a Business Day, then payment of the interest payable on such date will be
made on the next day that is a Business Day (and without any interest or other
payment in respect of such delay), except that, if such Business Day is in the
next calendar year, then such payment will be made on the preceding Business
Day. The interest installment so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided
for, on any Interest Payment Date will, as provided in the Indenture referred to
herein, be paid to the Holder in whose name this Note (or one or more
Predecessor Notes, as defined in said Indenture) is registered at the close of
business on the Regular Record Date for such interest installment, which shall
be the close of business on the Business Day preceding such Interest Payment
Date. Any such interest installment not punctually paid or duly provided for
shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on such Regular Record Date,
and may be paid to the Holder in whose name this Note (or one or more
Predecessor Notes) is registered at the close of business on a Special Record
Date to be fixed by the Trustee referred to on the reverse side hereof for the
payment of such defaulted interest, notice whereof shall be given to the Holders
of this Note not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date, or may be
paid at any time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the
requirements of any securities exchange on which this Note may be listed, and
upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, all as more fully provided
in the Indenture.

      Payment of the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on this Note
will be made at the office or agency of the Trustee maintained for that purpose
in such coin or currency of the United States of America that at the time of
payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts. The Company may
pay principal and interest by check payable in such money mailed to the Holder's
registered address or by wire transfer to a dollar account designated by the
Holder.

      Interest on this Note is deferrable, at the election of the Company, in
accordance with the terms of the First Supplemental Indenture, dated as of
September 10, 2002 (the "First Supplemental Indenture"), between the Company and
Wachovia Bank, National Association, as Trustee. Any deferred interest shall
accrue interest at the rate set forth in the First Supplemental Indenture.

      This Note is, to the extent provided in the Indenture, unsecured and will
rank in right of payment equally with all other unsecured and unsubordinated
obligations of the Company.

      Additional provisions of this Note are set forth on the reverse side
hereof, and such provisions shall for all purposes have the same effect as
though fully set forth at this place.

      Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by or on
behalf of the Trustee referred to on the reverse hereof by manual signature,
this Note shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture or be valid
or obligatory for any purpose.
