     Section 5.07 Amendments. This Agreement may be amended in writing by the
Administrator and the Issuer upon compliance with the applicable terms of
Section 3.20 of the Indenture. In addition, and without limitation of any such
terms:

     (a) promptly after the execution of any such amendment and obtaining of the
requisite consents, if any, the Administrator shall furnish written notification
of the substance of such amendment to the Trustee and each of the Rating
Agencies; and

     The Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, enter into any such
amendment which affects the Trustee's own rights, duties or immunities under
this Agreement or otherwise.

     Section 5.08 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement may not be assigned by
the Administrator unless such assignment is previously consented to in writing
by the Issuer and the Trustee and is subject to the satisfaction of the Rating
Agency Condition in respect thereof. An assignment with such consent and
satisfaction, if accepted by the assignee, shall bind the assignee hereunder in
the same manner as the Administrator is bound hereunder. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, this Agreement may be assigned by the Administrator without the
consent of the Issuer and the Trustee to a corporation or other organization
that is a successor (by merger, consolidation or purchase of assets) to the
Administrator, provided that such successor organization executes and delivers
to the Issuer and the Trustee an agreement in which such corporation or other
organization agrees to be bound hereunder by the terms of said assignment in the
same manner as the Administrator is bound hereunder and the Rating Agency
Condition is satisfied. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement shall bind any
successors or assigns of the parties hereto.

     Section 5.09 Limitations on Rights of Others. The provisions of this
Agreement are solely for the benefit of the Administrator, the Issuer, the
Trustee and the Transition Bondholders. The Transition Bondholders shall be
entitled to enforce their rights and remedies against the Administrator under
this agreement solely in accordance with and subject to the provisions of
Section 5.06 of the Indenture. Nothing in this Agreement, whether express or
implied, shall be construed to give to any other Person any legal or equitable
right, remedy or claim in the Bondable Transition Property or under or in
respect of this Agreement or any covenants, conditions or provisions contained
herein, except for the indemnities specifically provided in Section 5.15. The
Persons listed in this Section 5.09 as having the benefit of this Agreement and
the Indemnified Persons listed in Section 5.15 shall have rights of enforcement
with respect to their respective rights in, to and under this Agreement.

     Section 5.10 GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE
WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW JERSEY, 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.

     Section 5.11 Headings; References. The section headings hereof have been
inserted for convenience of reference only and shall not be construed to affect
the meaning, construction or effect of this Agreement. Other than in Section
1.02, references herein to sections or articles are to the sections or articles
of this Agreement.

     Section 5.12 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts,
each of which when so executed shall together constitute but one and the same
agreement.

     Section 5.13 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement that is
prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall be ineffective to the
extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the
remaining provisions hereof and any such prohibition

                                       11
<PAGE>

or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render
unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

     Section 5.14 Nonpetition Covenants. Notwithstanding any prior termination
of this Agreement or the Indenture, the Administrator hereby covenants and
agrees that it shall not, prior to the date which is one year and one day after
the termination of the Indenture and the payment in full of all of the
outstanding Transition Bonds, all other amounts owed under the Indenture
(including without limitation any amounts owed to third-party credit enhancers)
and all amounts owed by the Issuer under all Hedge Agreements and Interest Rate
Swap Agreements, acquiesce in, petition or otherwise invoke or, to the fullest
extent permitted by law, cause the Issuer to invoke the process of any court or
governmental authority for the purpose of commencing or sustaining a case
against the Issuer under any federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar
law or appointing a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, custodian,
sequestrator or other similar official of the Issuer or any substantial part of
the property of the Issuer, or ordering the winding up or liquidation of the
affairs of the Issuer; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 5.14
shall constitute a waiver of any right to indemnification, reimbursement or
other payment from the Issuer pursuant to this Agreement.

     Section 5.15 Indemnification. The Administrator shall indemnify the Issuer
and the Trustee and their respective officials, officers, directors, managers,
employees, consultants, counsel and agents (each an "Indemnified Person") for,
and defend and hold harmless each such Person from and against, any and all
liabilities, obligations, actions, suits, claims, losses, damages, payments,
costs or expenses of any kind whatsoever ("Losses") that may be imposed on,
incurred by or asserted against any such Person as a result of the
Administrator's willful misconduct or negligence in the performance of its
duties or observance of its covenants under this Agreement; provided, however,
that the Administrator shall not be liable for any Losses resulting from the
willful misconduct or gross negligence of such Indemnified Person. The
Transition Bondholders shall be entitled to enforce their rights and remedies
against the Administrator under this indemnification solely in accordance with
and subject to the provisions of Section 5.06 of the Indenture. The
Administrator shall not be required to indemnify an Indemnified Person for any
amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Person in the settlement of any
action, proceeding or investigation without the written consent of the
Administrator, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Promptly after
receipt by an Indemnified Person of notice of its involvement in any action,
proceeding or investigation, such Indemnified Person shall, if a claim for
indemnification in respect thereof is to be made against the Administrator under
this Section 5.15, notify the Administrator in writing of such involvement.
Failure by an Indemnified Person to so notify the Administrator shall relieve
the Administrator from the obligation to indemnify and hold harmless such
Indemnified Person under this Section 5.15 only to the extent that the
Administrator suffers actual prejudice as a result of such failure. With respect
to any action, proceeding or investigation brought by a third party for which
indemnification may be sought under this Section 5.15, the Administrator shall
be entitled to assume the defense of any such action, proceeding or
investigation. Upon assumption by the Administrator of the defense of any such
action, proceeding or investigation, the Indemnified Person shall have the right
to participate in such action or proceeding and to retain its own counsel. The
Administrator shall be entitled to appoint counsel of the Administrator's choice
at the Administrator's expense to represent the Indemnified Person in any
action, proceeding or investigation for which a claim of indemnification is made
against the Administrator under this

                                       12
<PAGE>

Section 5.15 (in which case the Administrator shall not thereafter be
responsible for the fees and expenses of any separate counsel retained by the
Indemnified Person except as set forth below); provided, however, that such
counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person.
Notwithstanding the Administrator's election to appoint counsel to represent the
Indemnified Person in an action, proceeding or investigation, the Indemnified
Person shall have the right to employ separate counsel (including local
counsel), and the Administrator shall bear the reasonable fees, costs and
expenses of such separate counsel if (i) the use of counsel chosen by the
Administrator to represent the Indemnified Person would present such counsel
with a conflict of interest, (ii) the actual or potential defendants in, or
targets of, any such action include both the Indemnified Person and the
Administrator and the Indemnified Person shall have reasonably concluded that
there may be legal defenses available to it that are different from or
additional to those available to the Administrator, (iii) the Administrator
shall not have employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified
Person to represent the Indemnified Person within a reasonable time after notice
of the institution of such action or (iv) the Administrator shall authorize the
Indemnified Person to employ separate counsel at the expense of the
Administrator. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrator shall not be
obligated to pay for the fees, costs and expenses of more than one separate
counsel for the Indemnified Persons (in addition to local counsel). The
Administrator shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified
Person, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with
respect to any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in
respect of which indemnification may be sought under this Section 5.15 (whether
or not the Indemnified Person is an actual or potential party to such claim or
action) unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional
release of the Indemnified Person from all liability arising out of such claim,
action, suit or proceeding. The indemnities contained in this Section 5.15 shall
survive the resignation of the Trustee and the termination of this Agreement.
Each of the parties hereto acknowledges and agrees that the Trustee shall be a
third party beneficiary of the obligations of the Administrator under this
Section 5.15 and shall be entitled to enforce such obligations directly against
the Administrator as if the Trustee was a party hereto.
