        Supplement, with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and

        2.02  EXECUTION,
        AUTHENTICATION AND DELIVERY.

       

      (a)
          The
        Transition Bonds shall be executed on behalf of the Issuer by a Manager.
        The
        signature of any such Manager on the Transition Bonds may be manual or
        facsimile.

       

      (b)
          Transition
        Bonds bearing the manual or facsimile signature of an individual who was
        at any
        time a Manager shall bind the Issuer, notwithstanding that such individuals
        or
        any of them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the authentication
        and
        delivery of such Transition Bonds.

       

      (c)
          At
        any
        time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture,
        the Issuer may deliver Transition Bonds executed on behalf of the Issuer
        to the
        Trustee pursuant to an Issuer Order for authentication; and the Trustee shall
        authenticate and deliver such Transition Bonds as in this Indenture and in
        such
        Issuer Order provided and not otherwise.

       

      (d)
          No
        Transition Bond shall be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or
        be
        valid or obligatory for any purpose, unless there appears on such Transition
        Bond a certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for
        in
        the related Series Supplement executed by the Trustee by the manual signature
        of
        one of its authorized signatories, and such certificate upon any Transition
        Bond
        shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Transition
        Bond
        has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder.

       

      (e)
          The
        Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent acceptable to the Issuer to
        authenticate Transition Bonds. An authenticating agent may authenticate
        Transition Bonds whenever the Trustee may do so. Each reference in this
        Indenture to authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by such
        agent. An authenticating agent has the same rights as the Paying Agent and
        the
        Transition Bond Registrar to deal with the Issuer or any Affiliate of the
        Issuer.

      SECTION
        2.04  TEMPORARY
        TRANSITION BONDS.

       

      (a)
          Pending
        the preparation of definitive Transition Bonds pursuant to Section 2.13,
        or, in
        the case of Transition Bonds held in a book-entry only system by a Clearing
        Agency, any Manager on behalf of the Issuer may execute, and upon receipt
        of an
        Issuer Order the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, temporary Transition
        Bonds which are printed, lithographed, typewritten, mimeographed or otherwise
        produced, of the tenor of the definitive

      Transition
        Bonds in lieu of which they are issued and with such variations not inconsistent
        with the terms of this Indenture and the related Series Supplement as the
        Manager executing such Transition Bonds may determine, as evidenced by his
        or
        her execution of such Transition Bonds.

       

      (b)
          If
        temporary Transition Bonds are issued, the Issuer will cause definitive
        Transition Bonds to be prepared without unreasonable delay except where
        temporary Transition Bonds are held in a book-entry only system by a Clearing
        Agency in which case the Issuer shall not be required to prepare definitive
        Transition Bonds. After the preparation of definitive Transition Bonds, the
        temporary Transition Bonds shall be exchangeable for definitive Transition
        Bonds
        upon surrender of the temporary Transition Bonds at the office or agency
        of the
        Issuer to be maintained as provided in Section 3.02, without charge to any
        Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Transition
        Bonds, a Manager on behalf of the Issuer shall execute and the Trustee shall
        authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a like Series (and, if applicable,
        Class) and aggregate initial principal amount of definitive Transition Bonds
        in
        Authorized Denominations. Until so exchanged, the temporary Transition Bonds
        shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture
        as
        definitive Transition Bonds. 

       

      SECTION
        2.05  REGISTRATION;
        REGISTRATION OF TRANSFER AND EXCHANGE.

       

      (a)
          The
        Issuer shall cause to be kept a register (the “Transition Bond Register”) in
        which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Issuer
        shall provide for the registration of Transition Bonds and the registration
        of
        transfers of Transition Bonds. The Trustee shall be the registrar (the Trustee
        or any successor thereof in such capacity, the “Transition Bond Registrar”) for
        the purpose of registering Transition Bonds and transfers of Transition Bonds
        as
        herein provided. Upon any resignation of any Transition Bond Registrar, the
        Issuer shall promptly appoint a successor or, if it elects not to make such
        an
        appointment, shall assume the duties of Transition Bond Registrar.

       

      (b)
          If
        a
        Person other than the Trustee is appointed by the Issuer as Transition Bond
        Registrar, the Issuer shall give the Trustee and any transfer, paying or
        listing
        agent of the Issuer appointed pursuant to Section 3.02(b) prompt written
        notice
        of the appointment of such Transition Bond Registrar and of the location,
        and
        any change in the location, of the Transition Bond Register; the Trustee
        and any
        such agent shall have the right to inspect the Transition Bond Register at
        all
        reasonable times and to obtain copies thereof; and the Trustee and any such
        agent shall have the right to conclusively rely upon a certificate executed
        on
        behalf of the Transition Bond Registrar by a duly authorized officer thereof
        as
        to the names and addresses of the Holders of the Transition Bonds and the
        original and Outstanding Amounts and number of such Transition Bonds (separately
        stated by Series and, if applicable, Class).

       

      (c)
          Upon
        surrender for registration of transfer of any Transition Bond at the office
        or
        agency of the Issuer to be maintained as provided in Section 3.02, a Manager
        on
        behalf of the Issuer shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and
        the
        Transition Bondholder shall obtain from the Trustee, in the name of the
        designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Transition Bonds in
        any
        Authorized Denominations, of a like Series (and, if applicable, Class) and
        aggregate initial principal amount.

      (d)
          At
        the
        option of the Holder, Transition Bonds may be exchanged for other Transition
        Bonds of a like Series (and, if applicable, Class) and aggregate initial
        principal amount in Authorized Denominations, upon surrender of the Transition
        Bonds to be exchanged at such office or agency as provided in Section 3.02.
        Whenever any Transition Bonds are so surrendered for exchange, a Manager
        on
        behalf of the Issuer shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and
        the
        Transition Bondholder shall obtain from the Trustee, the Transition Bonds
        which
        the Transition Bondholder making the exchange is entitled to receive.

       

      (e)
          All
        Transition Bonds issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of
        Transition Bonds shall be the valid obligations of the Issuer, evidencing
        the
        same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the
        Transition Bonds surrendered upon such registration of transfer or
        exchange.

       

      (f)
          Every
        Transition Bond presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or
        exchange shall be duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by a written instrument
        of
        transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee duly executed by, the Holder
        thereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, with such
        signature guaranteed by an Eligible Guarantor Institution in the form set
        forth
        in such Transition Bond.

       

      (g)
          No
        service charge shall be made to a Holder for any registration of transfer
        or
        exchange of Transition Bonds, but, other than in respect of exchanges made
        pursuant to Sections 2.04 or 9.06 not involving any transfer, the Issuer
        may
        require payment by such Holder of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other
        governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration
        of
        transfer or exchange of Transition Bonds, and the fees and expenses of the
        Trustee.

       

      (h)
          The
        preceding provisions of this Section 2.05 notwithstanding, the Issuer shall
        not
        be required to make, and the Transition Bond Registrar need not register,
        transfers or exchanges of Transition Bonds selected for redemption or transfers
        or exchanges of any Transition Bond for a period of fifteen days preceding
        the
        date on which final payment of Principal is to be made with respect to such
        Transition Bond.

       

      SECTION
        2.06  MUTILATED,
        DESTROYED, LOST OR STOLEN TRANSITION BONDS.

       

      (a)
          If
        (i)
        any mutilated Transition Bond is surrendered to the Trustee, or the Trustee
        receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of
        any
        Transition Bond, and (ii) there is delivered to the Trustee such security
        or
        indemnity as may be required by it to hold the Issuer and the Trustee harmless,
        then, in the absence of notice to the Issuer, the Transition Bond Registrar
        or
        the Trustee that such Transition Bond has been acquired by a bona fide
        purchaser, a Manager on behalf of the Issuer shall execute, and upon a Manager’s
        written request the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for
        or
        in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Transition Bond,
        a
        replacement Transition Bond of like Series (and, if applicable, Class), tenor
        and initial principal amount in Authorized Denominations, bearing a number
        not
        contemporaneously outstanding; provided, however, that if any such destroyed,
        lost or stolen Transition Bond, but not a mutilated Transition Bond, shall
        have
        become or within seven days shall be due and payable, or shall have been
        called
        for redemption,

      instead
        of issuing a replacement Transition Bond, the Issuer may pay such destroyed,
        lost or stolen Transition Bond when so due or payable or upon the Redemption
        Date without surrender thereof. If, after the delivery of such replacement
        Transition Bond or payment of a destroyed, lost or stolen Transition Bond
        pursuant to the proviso to the preceding sentence, a protected purchaser
        of the
        original Transition Bond in lieu of which such replacement Transition Bond
        was
        issued presents for payment such original Transition Bond, the Issuer and
        the
        Trustee shall be entitled to recover such replacement Transition Bond (or
        such
        payment) from the Person to whom it was delivered or any Person taking such
        replacement Transition Bond from such Person to whom such replacement Transition
        Bond was delivered or any assignee of such Person, except a protected purchaser,
        and shall be entitled to recover upon the security or indemnity provided
        therefor to the extent of any loss, damage, cost or expense incurred by the
        Issuer or the Trustee in connection therewith.

       

      (b)
          Every
        replacement Transition Bond issued pursuant to this Section 2.06 in replacement
        of any mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Transition Bond shall constitute
        an
        original additional contractual obligation of the Issuer, whether or not
        the
        mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Transition Bond shall be at any time
        enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this
        Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Transition Bonds
        duly issued hereunder. Upon the issuance of any new Transition Bond under
        this
        Section, the Issuer may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover
        any tax
        or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and
        any
        other reasonable expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee
        and
        its counsel) connected therewith.

       

      (c)
          The
        provisions of this Section 2.06 are exclusive and shall preclude (to the
        extent
        lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or
        payment
        of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Transition Bonds.

        2.07  PERSONS
        DEEMED OWNER. 
        Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer of any Transition Bond,
        the Issuer, the Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee may treat
        the
        Person in whose name any Transition Bond is registered (as of the day of
        determination) as the owner of such Transition Bond for the purpose of receiving
        payments of Principal of and interest on such Transition Bond and for all
        other
        purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Transition Bond be overdue, and

        Principal of each Transition Bond of each Series (and, if applicable, Class)
        shall be payable in installments on each Payment Date specified in the Expected
        Amortization Schedule included in the Series Supplement for such Transition
        Bonds, but only to the extent that moneys are available for such payment
        pursuant to Section 8.02; provided, that installments of Principal not paid
        when
        scheduled to be paid shall be paid upon receipt of moneys available for such
        purpose, in the sequential order set forth in the applicable Expected
        Amortization Schedule. Failure to pay in accordance with such Expected
        Amortization Schedule because moneys are not so available pursuant to Section
        8.02 to make such payments shall not constitute a Default or Event of Default
        under this Indenture. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the entire Outstanding
        Principal amount of the Transition Bonds of any Series or Class shall be
        due and
        payable, if not previously paid, either (i) on the Final Maturity Date therefor,
        (ii) on the date on which the Transition Bonds of all Series have been declared
        immediately due and payable in accordance with Section 5.02 or (iii) on the
        Redemption Date, if any, therefor. The Trustee shall notify the Person in
        whose
        name a Transition Bond is registered, and any other Person required under
        the
        relevant Series Supplement, at the close of business on the second Record
        Date
        preceding the Payment Date on which the Issuer expects that the final
        installment of Principal of and interest on such Transition Bond will be
        paid.
        Such notice shall be mailed no later than five days prior to such final Payment
        Date and, subject to the Issuer’s right to pay without surrender pursuant to
        Section 2.06(a), shall specify that such final installment of Principal will
        be
        payable only upon presentation and surrender of such Transition Bond and
        shall
        specify the place where such Transition Bond may be presented and surrendered
        for payment of such installment. Notices in connection with redemptions of
        Transition Bonds also shall be mailed to Transition Bondholders as provided
        in
        Section 10.03. 

       

      (c)
          If
        the
        Issuer defaults in a payment of interest on the Transition Bonds of any Series,
        or is in default with respect to any amount payable to any Swap Counterparty,
        the Issuer shall pay such defaulted interest or such other amount, as the
        case
        may be, plus interest on such defaulted interest or on such other amount
        at the
        applicable Interest Rate or Interest Rates in any lawful manner (subject
        to the
        availability of such amounts in the related Class Subaccount, in the case
        of
        interest owed with respect to any Transition Bonds which have floating rates
        of
        interest). The Issuer may pay such defaulted interest to the Persons who
        are
        Transition Bondholders and to any Swap Counterparty, as applicable, at the
        rate
        specified in the related Series Supplement or Interest Rate Swap Agreement,
        respectively, on a subsequent special record date, which date shall be at
        least
        five Business Days prior to the payment date. The Issuer shall fix or cause
        to
        be fixed any such special record date and payment date, and, at least fifteen
        days before any such special record date, the Issuer shall mail to each affected
        Transition Bondholder and the Trustee a notice that states the special record
        date, the payment date and the amount of defaulted interest to be paid.

          in the Bondable Transition Property described in the Bill of Sale (the
          “Transferred Bondable Transition Property”), which security interest if
          characterized as a transfer for security will secure the amount paid by
          the
          Issuer for such Transferred Bondable Transition Property; it being noted
          that
          the term “security interest” for the purposes of this paragraph includes both a
          sale and a transfer for security of an account and no opinion will be expressed
          as to the proper characterization of the transfer of the Transferred Bondable
          Transition Property by the Seller to the Issuer;

         

        (2)    the
          security interest in favor of the Issuer in the Transferred Bondable Transition
          Property has been perfected; and

         

        (3)    no
          other
          security interest of any other creditor of the Seller is equal or prior

          Property;

         

        (I)    upon
          the

        (1)    this
          Indenture creates in favor of the Trustee, to secure payment of the Secured
          Obligations, a valid security interest in the rights of the Issuer in,

          under that portion of the Collateral subject to Article 9 of the New Jersey
          UCC,
          including the Transferred Bondable Transition Property (the “Article 9
          Collateral”),

         

        (2)    upon
          filing of the related financing statements in accordance with the New Jersey
          UCC
          and the Delaware UCC, such security interest will be perfected, and

         

        (3)    based
          solely on a review of the search reports under the New Jersey UCC and the
          Delaware UCC, no other security interest of any other creditor of the Issuer
          is
          equal or prior to the security interest of the Trustee in the Article 9
          Collateral;

         

        (J)    this
          Indenture has been duly qualified under the Trust Indenture Act and either

        (1)    the
          registration statement covering the Transition Bonds is effective under
          the
          Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and, to the best of such counsel’s knowledge

      SECTION
        2.11  BOOK-ENTRY
        TRANSITION BONDS. 
        Unless otherwise specified in the related Series Supplement, each Series,
        upon
        original issuance, will be issued in the form of a typewritten Transition
        Bond
        or Transition Bonds representing the Book-Entry Transition Bonds, to be
        delivered to the Trustee as custodian for The Depository Trust Company, the
        initial Clearing Agency, by, or on behalf of, the Issuer. Such Transition
        Bond
        shall initially be registered on the Transition Bond Register in the name
        of
        Cede & Co., the nominee of the initial Clearing Agency, and no Transition
        Bond Owner will receive a definitive Transition Bond representing such
        Transition Bond Owner’s interest in such Transition Bond, except as provided in
        Section 2.13. Unless and until definitive, fully registered Transition Bonds
        (the “Definitive Transition Bonds”) have been issued to Transition Bondholders
        pursuant to Section 2.13:

       

      (a)
          the
        provisions of this Section 2.11 shall be in full force and effect; 

       

      (b)
          the

          to
        the
        extent that the provisions of this Section 2.11 conflict with any other
        provisions of this Indenture, the provisions of this Section 2.11 shall
        control;

       

      (d)
          the
        rights of Transition Bond Owners shall be exercised only through the then
        acting
        Clearing Agency and shall be limited to those established by law and agreements
        between such Transition Bond Owners and the Clearing Agency or the Clearing
        Agency Participants. Pursuant to the DTC Agreement, unless and until Definitive
        Transition Bonds are issued pursuant to Section 2.13, the initial Clearing
        Agency will make book-entry transfers among the Clearing Agency Participants
        and
        receive and transmit payments of Principal of and interest on the Transition
        Bonds to such Clearing Agency Participants; and 

       

      (e)
          whenever
        this Indenture requires or permits actions to be taken based upon instructions
        or directions of Holders evidencing a specified percentage of the Outstanding
        Amount of the Transition Bonds or a Series or Class thereof, the Clearing
        Agency
        shall be deemed to represent such percentage only to the extent that it has
        received instructions to such effect from Transition Bond Owners or Clearing
        Agency Participants owning or representing, respectively, such required
        percentage of the beneficial interest in the Transition Bonds or such Series
        or
        Class and has delivered such instructions to the Trustee.

       

      SECTION
        2.12  NOTICES
        TO CLEARING AGENCY. 
        Whenever a notice or other communication to the Transition Bondholders is
        required under this Indenture, unless and until Definitive Transition Bonds
        shall have been issued to Transition Bond Owners pursuant to Section 2.13,
        the
        Trustee shall give all such notices and communications specified herein to
        be
        given to Transition Bondholders to the Clearing Agency, and shall have no
        obligation to the Transition Bond Owners.

          If
        (i)
        the Issuer advises the Trustee in writing that the then acting Clearing Agency
        is no longer willing or able to properly discharge its responsibilities as
        depository with respect to any Series or Class and the Issuer is unable to
        locate a qualified successor, (ii) the Issuer, at its option, advises the
        Trustee in writing that it elects to terminate the book-entry system through
        the
        Clearing Agency with respect to any Series or Class or (iii) after the
        occurrence of an Event of Default, Transition Bond Owners representing
        beneficial interests aggregating at least a majority of the Outstanding Amount
        of the Transition Bonds of all Series advise the Trustee through the Clearing
        Agency in writing that the continuation of a book-entry system through the
        Clearing Agency is no longer in the best interests of the Transition Bond
        Owners, then the Clearing Agency shall notify all affected Transition Bond
        Owners and the Trustee of the occurrence of any such event and of the
        availability of Definitive Transition Bonds to affected Transition Bond Owners
        requesting the same. Upon surrender to the Trustee of the typewritten Transition
        Bond or Transition Bonds representing the Book-Entry Transition Bonds by
        the
        Clearing Agency, accompanied by registration instructions, a Manager on behalf
        of the Issuer shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate the Definitive

        Trustee
        shall recognize the Holders of the Definitive Transition Bonds as Transition
        Bondholders.

        to
        Section 5.02, the Issuer shall only be obligated to pay the Principal of
        such
        Transition Bonds on each Payment Date therefor to the extent moneys are
        available for such payment pursuant to Section 8.02. Amounts properly withheld
        under the Code by any Person from a payment to any Transition Bondholder
        of
        interest or Principal shall be considered as having been paid by the Issuer
        to
        such Transition Bondholder for all purposes of this Indenture.

       

      SECTION
        3.02  MAINTENANCE
        OF OFFICE OR AGENCY.

       

      (a)
          So
        long
        as any of the Transition Bonds remain Outstanding, the Issuer will maintain
        in
        the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, an office or agency where
        Transition Bonds may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange,
        and where notices and demands to or upon the Issuer in respect of the Transition

        clause
        (b) below of the location and identity, and of any change in the location

        each
        such agent with the address thereof, such surrenders, notices and demands
        may be
        made or served at the Corporate Trust Office, and the Issuer hereby appoints
        the
        Trustee as its agent to receive all such surrenders, notices and demands.

        paying agent where payments in respect of the Transition Bonds may be made
        and
        (ii) any reference in this Indenture to the office or agency of the Issuer
        referenced in Section 3.02(a) shall also refer to such offices, and the

      SECTION
        3.03  MONEY

        provided in Section 8.02(a), all payments of Principal of and interest on
        the
        Transition Bonds that are to be made from amounts withdrawn from the Collection
        Account pursuant to Section 8.02(g) or Section 4.03 shall be made on behalf
        of
        the Issuer by the Trustee or by another Paying Agent, and no amounts so
        withdrawn from the Collection Account for payments of Transition Bonds shall
        be
        paid over to the Issuer except as provided in this Section 3.03 and in Section
        8.02.

       

      (b)
          The
        Issuer shall cause each Paying Agent other than the Trustee to execute and
        deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such Paying Agent shall agree
        with
        the Trustee (and if the Trustee acts as Paying Agent, it hereby so agrees),

        (i)   hold
          all
          sums held by it for the payment of Principal of or interest on the Transition
          Bonds in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto until such

          Trustee written notice of any Default by the Issuer (or any other obligor
          upon
          the Transition Bonds) of which the Paying Agent has actual knowledge in
          the
          making of any payment required to be made with respect to the Transition
          Bonds;

         

        (iii)   at
          any
          time during the continuance of any such Default, upon the written request
          of the
          Trustee, forthwith pay to the Trustee all sums so held in trust by such
          Paying
          Agent;

         

        (iv)   immediately
          resign as a Paying Agent and forthwith pay to the Trustee all sums held
          by the
          Paying Agent in trust for the payment of Transition Bonds if at any time
          the
          Paying Agent ceases to meet the standards required to be met by a Paying
          Agent
          at the time of its appointment; and

         

        (v)   comply
          with all requirements of the Code with respect to the withholding from
          any
          payments made by it on any Transition Bonds of any applicable withholding
          taxes
          imposed thereon and with respect to any applicable reporting requirements
          in
          connection therewith.

         

      

      (c)
          The
        Issuer may at any time, for the purpose of obtaining the satisfaction and
        discharge of this Indenture or for any other purpose, by Issuer Order direct
        any
        Paying Agent to pay to the Trustee all sums held in trust by such Paying
        Agent,
        such sums to be held by the Trustee upon the same trusts as those upon which
        the
        sums were held by such Paying Agent; and upon such payment by any Paying
        Agent
        to the Trustee, such Paying Agent shall be released from all further liability
        with respect to such money.

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

        shall not be less than thirty days from the date of such publication, any
        unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to the Issuer.
        The
        Trustee may also adopt and employ, at the expense of the Issuer, any other
        reasonable means of notification of such repayment (including mailing notice
        of

        representatives to hold in confidence all such information except to the
        extent
        disclosure may be required by law (and all reasonable applications for
        confidential treatment are unavailing) and except to the extent that the

        the
        Sale Agreement, the Intercreditor Agreement, the Servicing Agreement and

        Sale
        Agreement, the Intercreditor Agreement, the Servicing Agreement and applicable
        Interest Rate Swap Agreement, respectively, in accordance with the terms
        thereof. So long as no Event of Default occurs and is continuing, but subject

        Outstanding Amount of the Transition Bonds of all Series, voting together

        Holders of that percentage of the Outstanding Amount of the Transition Bonds
        of
        the related Class specified in the related Series Supplement, shall exercise
        all

        Seller, the Servicer or Swap Counterparty under or in connection with the
        Sale

        respectively, including the right or power to take any action to compel or

        Counterparty of each of their respective obligations to the Issuer thereunder
        and to give any consent, request, notice, direction, approval, extension
        or
        waiver under the Sale Agreement, the Servicing Agreement and Interest Rate

      (c)
          With
        the
        consent of the Trustee, the Sale Agreement, the Intercreditor Agreement and
        the
        Servicing Agreement may be amended, provided notice of the substance of the
        amendment is given to each Rating Agency, at any time and from time to time,
        without the consent of the Transition Bondholders, or the counterparty under
        any
        Interest Rate Swap Agreement; provided, however, such amendment may not
        adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Transition
        Bondholder or any counterparty under any Interest Rate Swap Agreement without
        the consent of the Holders of a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the
        Transition Bonds of each Series or Class and each such counterparty, in each
        case materially and adversely affected thereby. Further, with the written
        consent of the Trustee and the related counterparty under an Interest Rate
        Swap
        Agreement, such Interest Rate Swap Agreement may be amended, at any time
        and
        from time to time, so long as prior notice is provided to the Rating Agencies
        and the then current ratings on any Outstanding Transition Bonds are not
        withdrawn or downgraded by the Rating Agencies. However, such amendment may
        not
        adversely affect in any material respect the interest of any Transition
        Bondholder or counterparty under an Interest Rate Swap Agreement without
        the
        written consent of sixty-six and two thirds percent of the Holders of the
        Outstanding Amount of the Transition Bonds of each Series or Class and each
        such
        counterparty materially and adversely affected thereby.

       

      (d)
          If
        the
        Issuer, the Seller, the Servicer or any Swap Counterparty proposes to amend,
        modify, waive, supplement, terminate or surrender, or agree to any amendment,
        modification, waiver, supplement, termination, or surrender of, the terms
        of the
        Sale Agreement, the Intercreditor Agreement, the Servicing Agreement or any
        Interest Rate Swap Agreement, or waives timely performance or observance
        thereunder by the Seller, the Servicer or any Swap Counterparty, respectively,
        in each case in such a way as would materially and adversely affect the
        interests of any Class of any Series of Transition Bondholders or the
        counterparty under any Interest Rate Swap Agreement, the Issuer shall first
        notify the Rating Agencies of the proposed amendment, modification, supplement,
        waiver, termination or surrender. After sending such notification to the
        Rating
        Agencies, the Issuer shall notify the Trustee in writing and the Trustee
        shall
        notify the Transition Bondholders and each counterparty under an Interest
        Rate
        Swap Agreement, of the proposal. With respect to any such proposed action
        related to the Sale Agreement and the Servicing Agreement, the Trustee shall
        consent to such proposed action only (i) with the written consent of the
        Holders
        of a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Transition Bonds of each Class
        of
        each Series and each counterparty under an Interest Rate Swap Agreement,
        in each
        case materially and adversely affected thereby and (ii) upon written notice

      the
        substance of the proposed action to the Rating Agencies and the Rating Agencies’
subsequent confirmation that the then current ratings on any Outstanding
        Transition Bonds will not be withdrawn or downgraded by the Rating Agencies
        (except that with regard to Moody’s and Fitch it will be sufficient to provide
        ten days’ prior notice of any such action). With respect to any such proposed
        action related to any Interest Rate Swap Agreement, the Trustee shall consent
        to
        such proposed action only (y) with the written consent of the Holders
        representing sixty-six and two-thirds percent of the Outstanding Amount of
        the
        Transition Bonds of the related Series or Class, and each counterparty under
        an
        Interest Rate Swap Agreement, in each case materially and adversely affected
        thereby and (z) upon written notice of the substance of the proposed action
        to the Rating Agencies and the Rating Agencies’ subsequent confirmation that the
        then current ratings on any Outstanding Transition Bonds will not be withdrawn
        or downgraded by the Rating Agencies (except that with regard to Moody’s and
        Fitch it will be sufficient to provide ten days’ prior notice of any such
        action). If any such amendment, modification, supplement, waiver, termination
        or
        surrender shall be so consented to by the Trustee or such Holders, the Issuer
        agrees to execute and deliver, in its own name and at its own expense, such
        agreements, instruments, consents and other documents as shall be necessary
        or
        appropriate in the circumstances. For so long as any of the Transition Bonds
        are
        listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and the rules of that exchange so
        require, notice of such proposed action will be published by an agent to
        be
        appointed by the Issuer in an Authorized Newspaper promptly following its
        effectiveness.

       

      (e)
          If
        the
        Issuer or the Servicer proposes to amend, modify, waive, supplement, terminate
        or surrender in any material respect, or to agree to any material amendment,
        modification, waiver, supplement, termination or surrender of, the Transition
        Bond Charge Adjustment Process, the Issuer shall notify the Trustee in writing
        and the Trustee shall notify the Transition Bondholders of such proposal
        and the
        Trustee shall consent thereto only with the written consent of the Holders
        of a
        majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Transition Bonds of each Series,
        voting together as a single class, materially and adversely affected thereby;
        provided, notice of the substance of such proposal is provided to the Rating
        Agencies and the Rating Agencies subsequently confirm that the then current
        ratings on any Outstanding Transition Bonds will not be withdrawn or downgraded
        by the Rating Agencies (except that with regard to Moody’s and Fitch it will be
        sufficient to provide ten days’ prior notice of any such action).

       

      (f)
          Promptly
        following a default by either the Seller, the Servicer or any Swap Counterparty
        under the Sale Agreement, the Intercreditor Agreement, the Servicing Agreement
        or related Interest Rate Swap Agreement, respectively, and at the Issuer’s
        expense, the Issuer agrees to take all such lawful actions as the Trustee
        may
        request to compel or secure the performance and observance by the Seller,
        the
        Servicer or Swap Counterparty, as applicable, of each of their respective
        obligations to the Issuer under or in connection with the Sale Agreement,
        the

        Swap
        Agreement in accordance with the terms thereof, and to exercise any and all
        rights, remedies, powers and privileges lawfully available to the Issuer
        under
        or in connection with the Sale Agreement, the Intercreditor Agreement, the
        Servicing Agreement or Interest Rate Swap Agreement, respectively, to the
        extent
        and in the manner directed by the Trustee, including the transmission of
        notices
        of default on the part of the Seller, the Servicer or Swap Counterparty
        thereunder and the institution of legal or administrative actions or proceedings
        to compel or secure performance

        Seller, the Servicer or Swap Counterparty of each of their respective
        obligations under the Sale Agreement, the Intercreditor Agreement, the Servicing
        Agreement and related Interest Rate Swap Agreement.

       

      (g)
          If
        the
        Issuer shall have knowledge of the occurrence of a Servicer Default under
        the
        Servicing Agreement or an event of default, termination event or downgrade
        event
        under any Interest Rate Swap Agreement, the Issuer shall promptly give written
        notice thereof to the Trustee and the Rating Agencies, and shall specify
        in such
        notice the action, if any, the Issuer is taking with respect to such default
        or
        event of default.

       

      (h)
          If
        a
        Servicer Default shall arise from the failure of the Servicer to perform
        any of
        its duties or obligations under the Servicing Agreement with respect to the
        Bondable Transition Property or the Transition Bond Charge, the Issuer shall
        take all reasonable steps available to it to remedy such failure. The Issuer
        shall not take any action to terminate the Servicer’s rights and powers under
        the Servicing Agreement following a Servicer Default without the prior written
        consent of the Trustee and of the Holders of a majority of the Outstanding
        Amount of the Transition Bonds of all Series.

       

      (i)
          As
        promptly as possible after the giving of notice of termination to the Servicer
        and the Rating Agencies of the Servicer’s rights and powers pursuant to Section
        6.01 of the Servicing Agreement, the Trustee, with the written consent of
        the
        Holders evidencing not less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount of
        the
        Transition Bonds of all Series, may appoint a successor Servicer (the “Successor
        Servicer”), and such Successor Servicer shall accept its appointment by a
        written assumption in a form acceptable to the Issuer and the Trustee. A
        Person
        shall qualify as a Successor Servicer only if such Person satisfies the
        requirements of Section 6.04 of the Servicing Agreement. In connection with
        any
        such appointment, the Issuer may make such arrangements for the compensation
        of
        such Successor Servicer as it and such Successor Servicer shall agree, subject
        to the limitations set forth below and in the Servicing Agreement, and, in
        accordance with Section 6.04 of the Servicing Agreement, the Issuer shall
        enter
        into an agreement with such Successor Servicer for the servicing of the Bondable
        Transition Property (such agreement to be in form and substance satisfactory
        to
        the Trustee).

       

      (j)
          Upon
        termination of the Servicer’s rights and powers pursuant to the Servicing
        Agreement, the Trustee shall promptly notify the Issuer, the Transition
        Bondholders and the Rating Agencies of such termination. As soon as a Successor
        Servicer is appointed, the Issuer shall notify the Trustee, the Transition
        Bondholders and the Rating Agencies in writing of such appointment, specifying
        in such notice the name and address of such Successor Servicer.

       

      (k)
          The
        Issuer shall not take any action to terminate or assign a Swap Counterparty’s
        rights and powers under any Interest Rate Swap Agreement or replace a Swap
        Counterparty following an event of default, termination event or downgrade
        event
        under an Interest Rate Swap Agreement without (i) the prior written consent
        of the Trustee and of the Holders of that percentage of the Outstanding Amount
        of the Transition Bonds, if any such consent is required under the related
        Series Supplement, of the related Series and Class, if any, specified in
        the
        related Series Supplement, and (ii) satisfying any other requirements set
        forth in the related Series Supplement and Interest Rate Swap
        Agreement.

      (l)
          Upon
        termination or assignment of a Swap Counterparty’s rights and powers, pursuant
        to an Interest Rate Swap Agreement, the Trustee shall promptly inform the
        Issuer, the Transition Bondholders of the related Class and the Rating Agencies
        of such termination or assignment. As soon as a replacement Swap Counterparty
        is
        appointed, the Issuer shall notify the Trustee, the Transition Bondholders
        of
        the related Class and the Rating Agencies in writing of such appointment,
        specifying in such notice the name and address of such replacement Swap
        Counterparty.

        3.21  TAXES. 
        So long as any of the Transition Bonds are outstanding, the Issuer shall

        imposed upon it or any of its properties or assets or with respect to any
        of its
        franchises, business, income or property before any penalty accrues thereon
        if
        the failure to pay any such taxes, assessments and governmental charges would,

        maturity of the Transition Bonds of such Series may not be (i) accelerated
        pursuant to Section 5.02 or (ii) except as provided in Section 4.02, redeemed.

        Defeasance Option or the Covenant Defeasance Option with respect to any Series,
        the Trustee, on written demand of and at the expense of the Issuer, shall
        execute proper instruments acknowledging satisfaction and discharge of the
        obligations that are terminated pursuant to such exercise.

        and
        exchange, (ii) the rights of substitution of mutilated, destroyed, lost or
        stolen Transition Bonds, (iii) the rights of Transition Bondholders to receive
        payments of Principal and interest, but only from the amounts deposited with
        the
        Trustee for such payments, (iv) Sections 4.03 and 4.04, (v) the rights,
        obligations and immunities of the Trustee hereunder (including the rights
        of the
        Trustee under Section 6.07 and the obligations of the Trustee under Section
        4.03) and (vi) the rights of Transition Bondholders under this Indenture
        with
        respect to the property deposited with the Trustee payable to all or any
        of
        them, shall survive until the Transition Bonds of the Series as to which
        this
        Indenture or certain obligations hereunder have been satisfied and discharged
        pursuant to Section 4.01(a) or 4.01(b) and have been paid in full. Thereafter,
        the obligations in Sections 6.07 and 4.04 with respect to such Series shall
        survive. 

       

      SECTION
        4.02  CONDITIONS
        TO DEFEASANCE.

       

      (a)
          The
        Issuer may exercise the Legal Defeasance Option or the Covenant Defeasance
        Option with respect to any Series only if:

        (i)   the
          Issuer irrevocably deposits or causes to be deposited in trust with the
          Trustee
          cash or U.S. Government Obligations maturing as to Principal and interest
          in
          such amounts and at such times as will insure the availability of cash
          for the
          payment of Principal of and premium, if any, and interest on such Series
          to the
          Expected Final Payment Date or Redemption Date therefor, as applicable,
          such
          deposit to be made in the Defeasance Subaccount for such Series;

         

        (ii)   the
          Issuer delivers to the Trustee a certificate from a nationally recognized
          firm
          of Independent registered public accountants expressing its opinion that
          the
          payments of Principal and interest when due and without reinvestment of
          the
          deposited U.S. Government Obligations plus any deposited cash without investment
          will provide cash at such times and in such amounts (but, in the case of
          the
          Legal Defeasance Option only, not more than such amounts) as will be sufficient
          to pay in respect of the Transition Bonds of such Series (A) subject to
          clause
          (B), Principal in accordance with the Expected Amortization Schedule therefor,

          the
          case of the Legal Defeasance Option, ninety-five days pass after the deposit
          is
          made and during such ninety-five day period no Default specified in Section
          5.01(e) or 5.01(f) occurs which is continuing at the end of the period;
          provided, however, that in determining whether a default under Section
          5.01(e)
          has occurred, the requirement that the decree or order shall remain unstayed
          and
          in effect for ninety days shall be disregarded;

         

        (iv)   no
          Default has occurred and is continuing on the day of such deposit and after
          giving effect thereto;

         

        (v)   in
          the
          case of the Legal Defeasance Option, the Issuer delivers to the Trustee
          an
          Issuer Opinion of Counsel stating that (A) the Issuer has received from,
          or
          there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling, or
          (B) since
          the date of execution of this Indenture, there has been a change in the
          applicable Federal income tax law, in either case to the effect that, and
          based
          thereon such opinion shall confirm that, the Holders of the Transition
          Bonds of
          such Series will not recognize income, gain or loss for Federal income
          tax
          purposes as a result of the exercise of such Legal Defeasance Option and
          will be
          subject to Federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and
          at the
          same times as would have been the case if such defeasance had not
          occurred;

         

        (vi)   in
          the
          case of the Covenant Defeasance Option, the Issuer delivers to the Trustee
          an
          Issuer Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the Holders of the Transition
          Bonds
          of such Series will not recognize income, gain or loss for Federal income
          tax
          purposes as a result of the exercise of such Covenant Defeasance Option
          and will
          be subject to Federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner
          and at
          the same times as would have been the case if such defeasance had not occurred;
          and 

         

        (vii)   the
          Issuer delivers to the Trustee an Issuer Officer’s Certificate and an Issuer
          Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent to the
          satisfaction

        and
          discharge of the Transition Bonds of such Series to the extent contemplated
          by
          this Article IV have been complied with.

         

      

      (b)
          Notwithstanding
        any other provision of this Section 4.02 to the contrary, no delivery of
        cash or
        U.S. Government Obligations to the Trustee under this Section 4.02 shall
        terminate any obligations of the Issuer under this Indenture with respect
        to any
        Transition Bonds which are to be redeemed prior to the Expected Final Payment
        Date therefor until such Transition Bonds shall have been irrevocably called
        or
        designated for redemption on a date thereafter on which such Transition Bonds
        may be redeemed in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture and proper
        notice of such redemption shall have been given in accordance with the
        provisions of this Indenture or the Issuer shall have given the Trustee,
        in form
        satisfactory to the Trustee, irrevocable instructions to give, in the manner
        and
        at the times prescribed herein, notice of redemption of such
        Series.

        Proceedings as the Trustee shall deem most effective to protect and enforce
        any

        in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted herein,
        or to
        enforce any other proper remedy or legal or equitable right vested in the
        Trustee by this Indenture or by law including foreclosing or otherwise enforcing
        the Lien on the Bondable Transition Property securing the Transition Bonds.
        The
        Trustee shall request a court of competent jurisdiction to permit the BPU
        to
        issue and enforce any order for sequestration of revenues arising with respect
        to such Bondable Transition Property.

          reimbursement of all expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances
          made,

        such
        Proceeding is hereby authorized by each of such Transition Bondholders to
        make
        payments to the Trustee, and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent

      (e)
          Nothing
        herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or
        consent to or vote for or accept or adopt on behalf of any Transition Bondholder
        any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting
        the

      (f)
          All
        rights of action and of asserting claims under this Indenture, or under any
        of
        the Transition Bonds, may be enforced by the Trustee without the possession
        of
        any of the Transition Bonds or the production thereof in any trial or other
        Proceedings relative thereto, and any such action or Proceedings instituted
        by

      SECTION
        5.04  REMEDIES.

       

      (a)
          If
        an
        Event of Default other than Section 5.01(g) occurs and is continuing, the
        Trustee may do one or more of the following (subject to Section
        5.05):

      
         

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

         

        
          
            
            

          

          
            35

            
              

            

          

          
            
            

          

        

         

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

         

        (iii)   exercise
          any remedies of a secured party under the New Jersey UCC , the Delaware
          UCC or
          the Competition Act or any other applicable law and take any other appropriate
          action to protect and enforce the rights and remedies of the Trustee and
          the
          Holders of the Transition Bonds;

         

        (iv)   sell
          the
          Collateral or any portion thereof or rights or interest therein, at one
          or more
          public or private sales called and conducted in any manner permitted by
          law;
          and

         

        (v)   exercise
          all rights, remedies, powers, privileges and claims of the Issuer against
          the
          Seller, the Administrator, the Servicer or any Swap Counterparty under
          or in
          connection with the Sale Agreement, the Intercreditor Agreement, the
          Administration Agreement, the Servicing Agreement or the related Interest
          Rate
          Swap Agreement, respectively, as provided in Section 3.20(b);

      

       

      provided,
        however, that the Trustee may not sell or otherwise liquidate any portion
        of the
        Collateral following an Event of Default, other than an Event of Default
        described in Section 5.01(a), 5.01(b) or 5.01(c), with respect to any Series
        unless (A) the Holders of one hundred percent of the Outstanding Amount of
        the
        Transition Bonds of all Series consent in writing thereto, (B) the proceeds
        of
        such sale or liquidation distributable to the Transition Bondholders of all
        Series are sufficient to discharge in full all amounts then due and unpaid
        upon
        such Transition Bonds for Principal and premium, if any, and accrued and
        unpaid
        interest or (C) the Trustee determines, after having been advised in writing
        by
        the Servicer, that the Collateral will not continue to provide sufficient
        funds
        for all payments on the Transition Bonds of all Series as they would have
        become
        due if the Transition Bonds had not been declared due and payable and the
        Trustee obtains the written consent of Holders of at least sixty-six and
        two-thirds percent of the Outstanding Amount of the Transition Bonds of all
        Series. In determining such sufficiency or insufficiency with respect to
        clauses
        (B) and (C), the Trustee may, but need not, obtain and conclusively rely
        upon an
        opinion of an Independent investment banking or certified public accounting
        firm
        of national reputation as to the feasibility of such proposed action and
        as to
        the sufficiency of the Collateral for such purpose.

       

      (b)
          If
        an
        Event of Default under Section 5.01(g) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee,
        for the benefit of the Holders, shall be entitled and empowered to the extent
        permitted by applicable law to institute or participate in Proceedings
        reasonably necessary to compel performance of or to enforce the pledge and
        agreement of the State of New Jersey in Section 17(a) of the Competition
        Act
        (N.J.S.A.
        48:3-66(a)) and to collect any monetary damages incurred by the Holders or
        the
        Trustee as a result of any such Event of Default, and may prosecute any such
        Proceeding to final judgment or decree. Such remedy shall be the only remedy
        that the Trustee may exercise if the only Event of Default that has occurred
        and
        is continuing is an Event of Default under Section 5.01(g).

       

      SECTION
        5.05  OPTIONAL
        PRESERVATION OF THE COLLATERAL. 
        If the Transition Bonds have been declared to be due and payable under Section
        5.02 following

      an
        Event
        of Default and such declaration and its consequences have not been rescinded
        and
        annulled, the Trustee may, but need not, elect, as provided in Section 5.11(c),
        to maintain possession of the Collateral and not sell or liquidate the same.
        It
        is the desire of the parties hereto and the Transition Bondholders that there
        be
        at all times sufficient funds for the payment of Principal of and interest
        on
        the Transition Bonds, and the Trustee shall take such desire into account
        when
        determining whether or not to maintain possession of the Collateral or sell
        or
        liquidate the same. In determining whether to maintain possession of the
        Collateral or sell or liquidate the same, the Trustee may, but need not,
        obtain
        and conclusively rely upon an opinion of an Independent investment banking
        or
        certified public accounting firm of national reputation as to the feasibility
        of
        such proposed action and as to the sufficiency of the Collateral for such
        purpose.

          Amount of the Transition Bonds of all Series;

      

       

      it
        being
        understood and intended that no one or more Holders shall have any right
        in any
        manner whatever by virtue of, or by availing of, any provision of this Indenture
        to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other Holders or to obtain

        to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture and such Proceeding has
        been
        discontinued or abandoned for any reason or has been determined adversely

        or
        liquidate the Collateral shall be by the Holders of not less than one hundred
        percent of the Outstanding Amount of the Transition Bonds of all
        Series;

       

      (c)
          if
        the
        conditions set forth in Section 5.05 have been satisfied and the Trustee
        elects
        to retain the Collateral pursuant to such Section 5.05 and elects not to
        sell or
        liquidate the same, then any direction to the Trustee by Holders of less
        than
        one hundred percent of the Outstanding Amount of the Transition Bonds of
        all
        Series to sell or liquidate the Collateral shall be of no force and effect;
        and

       

      (d)
          the
        Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee that is not
        inconsistent with such direction;

       

      provided,
        however, that, subject to Section 6.01, the Trustee need not take any action
        that it determines might involve it in liability for which it reasonably
        believes it will not be indemnified to its reasonable satisfaction against
        the
        costs, expenses and liabilities which might be incurred by it in complying
        with
        such request. The Trustee also need not take any action that it determines
        might
        materially and adversely affect the rights of any Transition Bondholders
        not
        consenting to such action.

       

      SECTION
        5.12  WAIVER
        OF
        PAST DEFAULTS.

       

      (a)
          Prior
        to
        the declaration of the acceleration of the maturity of the Transition Bonds
        of
        all Series as provided in Section 5.02, the Holders of not less than a majority
        of the Outstanding Amount of the Transition Bonds of all Series, voting together
        as a single class, may waive any past Default or Event of Default and its
        consequences except a Default (i) in payment of Principal of and premium,
        if
        any, or interest on any of the Transition Bonds or (ii) in respect of a covenant
        or provision hereof which cannot be modified or amended without the waiver
        or
        consent of the Holder of each Transition Bond of all Series or Classes affected.
        In the case of any such waiver, the Issuer, the Trustee and the Holders of
        the
        Transition Bonds shall be restored to their former positions and rights
        hereunder, respectively, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent
        or
        other Default or impair any right consequent thereto.

       

      (b)
          Upon
        any
        such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist and be deemed to have been
        cured
        and not to have occurred, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall
        be
        deemed to have been cured and not to have occurred, for every purpose of
        this
        Indenture, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default
        or
        Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereto. 

       

      SECTION
        5.13  UNDERTAKING
        FOR COSTS. 
        All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder of any Transition Bond
        by
        such Holder’s acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court
        may in its discretion require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right
        or
        remedy under this Indenture, or in any suit against the Trustee for any action
        taken, suffered or omitted by it as Trustee, the filing by any party litigant
        in
        such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such
        court
        may in its discretion assess

      reasonable
        costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, against any party litigant in such
        suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses
        made by such party litigant; provided, however, the provisions of this Section
        5.13 shall not apply to (a) any suit instituted by the Trustee, (b) any suit
        instituted by any Transition Bondholder, or group of Transition Bondholders,
        in
        each case holding in the aggregate more than ten percent of the Outstanding
        Amount of the Transition Bonds of a Series or (c) any suit instituted by
        any
        Transition Bondholder for the enforcement of the payment of (i) interest
        on any
        Transition Bond on or after the due dates expressed in such Transition Bond
        and
        in this Indenture, (ii) the unpaid Principal, if any, of any Transition Bond
        on
        or after the Final Maturity Date therefor or (iii) in the case of redemption,
        the unpaid Principal of and interest on any Transition Bond on or after the
        Redemption Date therefor. 

       

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

       

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

        TRUSTEE

       

      SECTION
        6.01  DUTIES
        AND LIABILITIES OF TRUSTEE.

       

      (a)
          If
        an
        Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall exercise
        the
        rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture and use the same degree
        of care
        and skill in their exercise as a prudent Person would exercise or use under
        the
        circumstances in the conduct of such Person’s own affairs.

       

      (b)
          Except
        during the continuance of an Event of Default: 

       

      
        
          
          

        

        
          40

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

      

       

      
        (i)   the
          Trustee undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are
          specifically set forth in this Indenture and no implied covenants or obligations
          shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee; and

         

        (ii)   in
          the
          absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as
          to the
          truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein,
          upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to
          the
          requirements of this Indenture.

         

        (c)   The
          Trustee may not be relieved from liability for its own negligent action,
          its own
          negligent failure to act or its own willful misconduct, except
          that:

         

        (i)   this
          clause (c) does not limit the effect of clause (b) of this Section
          6.01;

         

        (ii)   the
          Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith
          by a
          Responsible Officer unless it is proved that the Trustee was negligent
          in
          ascertaining the pertinent facts; and

         

        (iii)   the
          Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action it takes or omits
          to take
          in good faith in accordance with a direction received by it
          hereunder.

         

      

      (d)
          Every
        provision of this Indenture that in any way relates to the Trustee is subject
        to
        clauses (a), (b) and (c) of this Section 6.01. 

       

      (e)
          The
        Trustee shall not be liable for interest on any money received by it except
        as
        provided in this Indenture.

       

      (f)
          Money
        held in trust by the Trustee need not be segregated from other funds held
        by the
        Trustee except to the extent required by law or the terms of this Indenture,

        Sale Agreement, the Intercreditor Agreement or the Servicing Agreement or
        any
        Interest Rate Swap Agreement.

       

      (g)
          No
        provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its
        own
        funds or otherwise incur any liability, financial or otherwise, in the
        performance of any of its duties hereunder or in the exercise of any of its
        rights or powers, if it shall have reasonable grounds to believe that repayments
        of such funds or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it against such risk
        or
        liability is not reasonably assured to it.

       

      (h)
          Every
        provision of this Indenture relating to the conduct or affecting the liability
        of or affording protection to the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions
        of
        this Section 6.01 and to the provisions of the TIA.

      (j)
          If
        so
        requested by the Issuer, or by the Servicer on behalf of the Issuer, for
        the
        purpose of satisfying the Issuer’s reporting obligations under the Exchange Act
        with respect to any class of Transition Bonds, the Trustee shall (i) notify
        the
        Issuer in writing of (A) any material litigation or governmental proceedings
        pending against the Trustee and (B) any affiliations or relationships that
        develop following the Closing Date between the Trustee and any party to any
        of
        the Basic Documents, and (ii) provide to the Issuer a written description
        of
        such proceedings, affiliations or relationships.

       

      (k)   On

        before March 15 of each calendar year, if, during the prior year, the Issuer
        was
        obligated to file reports under the Exchange Act, the Trustee shall deliver
        to
        the Issuer a report (in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the
        Issuer) regarding the Trustee’s assessment of compliance with the Servicing
        Criteria during the immediately preceding calendar year, as required under
        Rules
        13a-18 and 15d-18 of the Exchange Act and Item 1122 of Regulation AB. Such
        report shall be addressed to the Issuer and signed by an authorized officer
        of
        the Trustee, and shall address each of the Servicing Criteria. The Trustee
        shall
        also deliver to the Issuer a report of a registered public accounting firm
        reasonably acceptable to the Issuer that attests to, and reports on, the
        assessment of compliance made by the Trustee and delivered pursuant to the
        first
        sentence of this Section 6.01(k). Such attestation shall be in accordance
        with
        Rules 1-02(a)(3) and 2-02(g) of Regulation S-X under the Securities Act and
        the
        Exchange Act..

       

      SECTION
        6.02  RIGHTS
        OF
        TRUSTEE.

       

      (a)
          The
        Trustee may conclusively rely on any document believed by it to be genuine
        and
        to have been signed or presented by the proper Person. The Trustee need not
        investigate any fact or matter stated in any such document. 

       

      (b)
          Before
        the Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it may require an Issuer Officer’s
        Certificate or an Issuer Opinion of Counsel. The Trustee shall not be liable
        for
        any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on an Issuer
        Officer’s Certificate or an Issuer Opinion of Counsel.

       

      (c)
          The
        Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any
        duties
        hereunder either directly or by or through agents, attorneys, a custodian
        or
        nominee, and the Trustee shall not be responsible for any misconduct or
        negligence on the part of, or for the supervision of, any such agent, attorney,
        custodian or nominee appointed with due care by it hereunder.

       

      (d)
          The
        Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good
        faith which it believes to be authorized or within its rights or powers;
        provided, however, that the Trustee’s conduct does not constitute willful
        misconduct, negligence or bad faith.

       

      (e)
          The
        Trustee may consult with counsel, and the advice or opinion of such counsel
        with
        respect to legal matters relating to this Indenture and the Transition Bonds
        shall be full and complete authorization and protection from liability in
        respect to any action taken, omitted or suffered by it hereunder in good
        faith
        and in accordance with the advice or opinion of such counsel.

      SECTION
        6.03  INDIVIDUAL
        RIGHTS OF TRUSTEE. 
        The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner
        or
        pledgee of Transition Bonds and may otherwise deal with the Issuer or its
        Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. Any
        Paying
        Agent, Transition Bond Registrar, co-registrar or co-paying agent, or agent
        appointed pursuant to Section 3.02(b) may do the same with like rights;
        provided, however, the Trustee must comply with Sections 6.11 and
        6.12.

       

      SECTION
        6.04  TRUSTEE’S
        DISCLAIMER. 
        The Trustee shall not be responsible for and makes no representation as to
        the
        validity or adequacy of this Indenture or the Transition Bonds. The Trustee
        shall not be accountable for the Issuer’s use of the proceeds from the
        Transition Bonds, and the Trustee shall not be responsible for any statement
        of
        the Issuer in this Indenture or in any document issued in connection with
        the
        sale of the Transition Bonds or in the Transition Bonds other than the Trustee’s
        certificate of authentication. The Trustee shall not be responsible for the
        form, character, genuineness, sufficiency, value or validity of any of the
        Collateral, or for or in respect of the validity or sufficiency of the
        Transition Bonds (other than the certificate of authentication for the
        Transition Bonds) or the Basic Documents and the Trustee shall in no event
        assume or incur any liability, duty or obligation to any Holder of a Transition
        Bond, other than as expressly provided for in this Indenture. The Trustee
        shall
        not be liable for the default or misconduct of the Issuer, the Seller, the
        Servicer or the Member or any Manager of the Issuer under any Basic Document
        or
        otherwise, or the default or misconduct of any counterparty under any Interest
        Rate Swap Agreement, and the Trustee shall have no obligation or liability
        to
        perform the obligations of the Issuer.

       

      SECTION
        6.05  NOTICE
        OF
        DEFAULTS. 
        If a Default occurs and is continuing with respect to any Class or Series
        and if
        it is actually known to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, the Trustee
        shall
        mail to each Rating Agency and to each Holder of all Series notice of the
        Default within ninety days after it occurs. Except in the case of a Default
        in
        payment of Principal of or interest on any Transition Bond, the Trustee may
        withhold the notice if and so long as a committee of its Responsible Officers
        in
        good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of
        Transition Bondholders.

      (d)
          The

      SECTION
        6.07  COMPENSATION
        AND INDEMNITY.

       

      (a)
          The
        Issuer shall pay to the Trustee from time to time reasonable compensation
        for
        its services. The Trustee’s compensation shall not be limited by any law on
        compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Issuer shall reimburse
        the
        Trustee for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, disbursements and advances
        incurred or made by it, including costs of collection, in addition to the
        compensation for its services. Such expenses shall include the reasonable
        compensation and expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee’s agents,
        counsel, accountants and experts. Notwithstanding the Issuer’s obligations set
        forth above in Section 6.07(a), the Issuer shall indemnify and hold harmless
        the
        Trustee and its

      officers,
        directors, employees and agents, to the extent permitted by law, from and
        against any and all costs, damages, expenses, losses, taxes (other than taxes
        imposed on the Trustee in connection with any fees earned in accordance with
        this Indenture) liabilities or other amounts whatsoever (including reasonable
        counsel fees and expenses) incurred by the Trustee in connection with the
        administration of this trust, the enforcement of this trust and all of the
        Trustee’s rights, powers and duties under this Indenture and the performance by
        the Trustee of the duties and obligations of the Trustee under or pursuant
        to
        this Indenture and any Series Supplement. The Trustee shall notify the Issuer
        promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Trustee
        to
        so notify the Issuer shall not relieve the Issuer of its obligations
        hereunder.

       

      (b)
          The
        Issuer shall defend such claim and the Trustee may have separate counsel
        and the
        Issuer shall pay the fees and expenses of such counsel. The Issuer need not
        reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss, liability or expense
        incurred by the Trustee (i) through the Trustee’s own willful misconduct,
        negligence or bad faith or (ii) to the extent the Trustee was reimbursed
        for or
        indemnified against any such loss, liability or expense by the Seller pursuant
        to the Sale Agreement or by the Servicer pursuant to the Servicing
        Agreement.

       

      (c)
          When
        the
        Trustee incurs expenses after the occurrence of an Event of Default specified
        in
        Section 5.01(e) or 5.01(f) with respect to the Issuer, the expenses are intended
        to constitute expenses of administration under Title 11 of the United States
        Code or any other applicable Federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar
        law. The obligations of the Issuer under this Section 6.07 shall survive
        the
        termination of this Indenture and the earlier resignation or removal of the
        Trustee. To secure the Issuer’s payment obligations in this Section 6.07, the
        Trustee shall have a Lien prior to the Transition Bonds on all money or property
        held or collected by the Trustee, in its capacity as Trustee, except that
        held
        in trust to pay Principal and interest on particular Transition Bonds in
        accordance with the priorities established in Section 8.02.

       

      SECTION
        6.08  REPLACEMENT
        OF TRUSTEE.

       

      (a)
          The
        Trustee may resign at any time upon thirty days’ prior written notice to the
        Issuer. The Issuer may remove the Trustee with or without cause at any time,
        with prior notice to the Rating Agencies, upon thirty days’ prior written notice
        to the Trustee, and shall remove the Trustee if:

      
         

        (i)   the
          Trustee fails to comply with Section 6.11; 

         

        (ii)   the
          Trustee is adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent; 

         

        (iii)   a
          receiver or other public officer takes charge of the Trustee or its property;
          or

         

        (iv)   the
          Trustee otherwise becomes incapable of acting.

      

       

      (b)
          If
        the
        Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee
        for any reason (the Trustee in such event being referred to herein as the
        “Retiring Trustee”), the Issuer shall promptly appoint a successor
        Trustee.

      (c)
          The
        Holders of a majority in Outstanding Amount of the Transition Bonds of all
        Series, voting together as a single class, may remove the Trustee by so
        notifying the Issuer and the Trustee and such Holders may appoint a successor
        Trustee. 

       

      (d)
          A
        successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to
        the
        Retiring Trustee and to the Issuer. Thereupon the resignation or removal
        of the
        Retiring Trustee shall become effective, and the successor Trustee shall
        have
        all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under this Indenture and
        the
        Intercreditor Agreement. No resignation or removal of the Trustee pursuant
        to
        this Section 6.08 shall become effective until the acceptance of the appointment
        by a successor Trustee. The successor Trustee shall mail a notice of its
        succession to the Transition Bondholders. The Retiring Trustee shall promptly
        transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor
        Trustee.

       

      (e)
          If
        a
        successor Trustee does not take office within thirty days after the Retiring
        Trustee resigns or is removed, the Retiring Trustee, the Issuer or the Holders
        of a majority in Outstanding Amount of the Transition Bonds of all Series
        may
        petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor
        Trustee.

       

      (f)
          If
        the
        Trustee fails to comply with Section 6.11, any Transition Bondholder may
        petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee
        and
        the appointment of a successor Trustee. 

       

      (g)
          Notwithstanding
        the replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 6.08, the Issuer’s
        obligations under Section 6.07 shall continue for the benefit of the Retiring
        Trustee.

       

      SECTION
        6.09  SUCCESSOR
        TRUSTEE BY MERGER.

       

      (a)
          If
        the
        Trustee consolidates with, merges or converts into, or transfers all or
        substantially all of its corporate trust business or assets to, another
        corporation or banking association, the resulting, surviving or transferee
        corporation or banking association shall, without any further act, be the
        successor Trustee. Notice of any such event shall be promptly given to each
        Rating Agency by the successor Trustee.

       

      (b)
          In
        case
        at the time such successor or successors by merger, conversion, consolidation
        or
        transfer shall succeed to the trusts created by this Indenture any of the
        Transition Bonds shall have been authenticated but not delivered, any such
        successor to the Trustee may adopt the certificate of authentication of any
        Retiring Trustee, and deliver such Transition Bonds so authenticated; and
        in
        case at that time any of the Transition Bonds shall not have been authenticated,
        any successor to the Trustee may authenticate such Transition Bonds either
        in
        the name of any Retiring Trustee hereunder or in the name of the successor
        to
        the Trustee; and in all such cases such certificates shall have the full
        force
        and effect granted by the Transition Bonds or by this Indenture and this
        force
        and effect shall be equal to any certificate issued by the Trustee.

      (a)
          Notwithstanding
        any other provisions of this Indenture, at any time, for the purpose of meeting
        any legal requirement of any jurisdiction in which any part of the Collateral
        may at the time be located, the Trustee shall have the power and may execute
        and
        deliver all instruments to appoint one or more Persons to act as a co-trustee
        or
        co-trustees, or separate trustee or separate trustees, of all or any part
        of the
        Collateral, and to vest in such Person or Persons, in such capacity and for
        the
        benefit of the Transition Bondholders, such title to the Collateral, or any
        part
        hereof, and, subject to the other provisions of this Section 6.10, such powers,
        duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the Trustee may consider necessary
        or
        desirable. No co-trustee or separate trustee hereunder shall be required
        to meet
        the terms of eligibility as a successor trustee under Section 6.11 and no
        notice
        to the Transition Bondholders of the appointment of any co-trustee or separate
        trustee shall be required under Section 6.08. Notice of any such appointment
        shall be promptly given to each Rating Agency by the Trustee.

       

      (b)
          Every
        co-trustee and separate trustee shall, to the extent permitted by law, be
        appointed and act subject to the following provisions and
        conditions:

      
         

        (i)   all
          rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed upon the Trustee
          shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised or performed by the Trustee
          and
          such co-trustee or separate trustee jointly (it being understood that such
          co-trustee or separate trustee is not authorized to act separately without
          the
          Trustee joining in such act), except to the extent that under any law of
          any
          jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts are to be performed the
          Trustee
          shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform such act or acts, in which
          event
          such rights, powers, duties and obligations (including the holding of title
          to
          the Collateral or any portion thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall be
          exercised and performed singly by such co-trustee or separate trustee,
          but
          solely at the direction of the Trustee; 

         

        (ii)   no
          trustee hereunder shall be personally liable by reason of any act or omission
          of
          any other trustee hereunder; and 

         

        (iii)   the
          Trustee may at any time accept the resignation of or remove any co-trustee
          or
          separate trustee.

      

       

      (c)
          Any
        notice, request or other writing given to the Trustee shall be deemed to
        have
        been given to each of the then co-trustees and separate trustees, as effectively
        as if given to each of them. Every instrument appointing any co-trustee or
        separate trustee shall refer to this Indenture and the conditions of this
        Article VI. Each co-trustee and separate trustee, upon its acceptance of
        the
        trusts conferred, shall be vested with the estates or property specified
        in its
        instrument of appointment, either jointly with the Trustee or separately,
        as may
        be provided therein, subject to all the provisions of this Indenture,
        specifically including every provision of this Indenture relating to the
        conduct
        of, affecting the liability of, or affording protection to, the Trustee.
        Every
        such instrument shall be filed with the Trustee.

       

      (d)
          Any
        co-trustee or separate trustee may at any time constitute the Trustee, its
        agent
        or attorney-in-fact with full power and authority, to the extent not prohibited
        by law, to do any lawful act under or in respect of this Indenture on its
        behalf
        and in its name. If any co-trustee or separate trustee shall die, become
        incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all of its

      estates,
        properties, rights, remedies and trusts shall vest in and be exercised by
        the
        Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the appointment of a new
        or
        successor trustee.

       

      SECTION
        6.11  ELIGIBILITY;
        DISQUALIFICATION. 
        The Trustee shall at all times satisfy the requirements of TIA Section 310(a)

        Trustee shall have a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000
        as set
        forth in its most recent published annual report of condition and it shall
        have
        a long term debt rating of “BBB-” or better by Standard & Poor’s, “Baa3” or
        better by Moody’s and “BBB-” or better by Fitch. The Trustee shall comply with

        sentence of TIA Section 310(b)(9); provided, however, that there shall be
        excluded from the operation of TIA Section 310(b)(1) any indenture or indentures
        under which other securities of the Issuer are outstanding if the requirements
        for such exclusion set forth in TIA Section 310(b)(1) are met. If at any
        time
        the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions
        of this
        section, it shall resign or be removed immediately in the manner and with

      SECTION
        8.01  COLLECTION
        OF MONEY. 
        Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the Trustee may demand payment
        or
        delivery of, and shall receive and collect, directly and without intervention
        or
        assistance of any fiscal agent or other intermediary, all money and other
        property payable to or receivable by the Trustee pursuant to this Indenture.
        The
        Trustee shall apply all such money received by it as provided in this Indenture.
        Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Indenture, if any default
        occurs
        in the making of any payment or performance under any agreement or instrument
        that is part of the Collateral, the Trustee may take such action as may be
        appropriate to enforce such payment or performance, including the institution
        and prosecution of appropriate Proceedings. Any such action shall be without
        prejudice to any right to claim a Default or Event of Default under this

        ACCOUNT.

       

        (a)
            (i)   On
          or prior to the
          Series Issuance Date for the first Series issued hereunder, the Issuer
          shall
          open, at the Trustee’s Corporate Trust Office, or at another Eligible
          Institution, one or more segregated non-interest bearing trust accounts
          in the
          Trustee’s name for the benefit of the Holders (collectively, the “Collection
          Account”). The Collection Account shall initially be divided into subaccounts,
          which need not be separate bank accounts: a general subaccount (the “General
          Subaccount”), unless otherwise provided in the related Series Supplement, an
          overcollateralization subaccount for each Series (each, an
“Overcollateralization Subaccount” or the “Series Overcollateralization
          Subaccount”), a capital subaccount for each Series (each, a “Capital Subaccount”
or the “Series Capital Subaccount”), a reserve subaccount (the “Reserve
          Subaccount”), a series subaccount for each Series (each, a “Series
          Subaccount”) and a class subaccount for any Class of any Series
          which

      has
        a
        floating rate of interest as specified in any Series Supplement (each, a
“Class
        Subaccount”). If so provided in any Series Supplement, the Series Capital
        Subaccount for the related Series may be divided into separate subaccounts
        bearing the designations specified in such Series Supplement for the purpose
        of
        tracing deposits to and withdrawals from such Series Capital Subaccount,
        provided that in such case the terms Series Capital Subaccount and Capital
        Subaccount with respect to such Series shall refer collectively to all such
        subaccounts except as specified in such Series Supplement for purposes of
        such
        tracing. On or prior to the Series Issuance Date for each Series issued after
        the Series Issuance Date for the first Series issued hereunder, the Issuer
        shall
        establish an additional Series Subaccount therefor and a Class Subaccount
        for
        any Class of such Series which has a floating rate of interest and in respect
        of
        which the Issuer has entered into an Interest Rate Swap Agreement, as
        Subaccounts of the Collection Account. Prior to depositing funds or U.S.
        Government Obligations in the Collection Account pursuant to Sections 4.01
        or
        4.02, the Issuer shall establish defeasance subaccounts (each, a “Defeasance
        Subaccount”) for each Series for which funds shall be deposited, as subaccounts
        of the Collection Account. All amounts in the Collection Account not allocated
        to any other Subaccount shall be allocated to the General Subaccount. Prior
        to
        the initial Payment Date, all amounts in the Collection Account (other than
        funds deposited into the Capital Subaccount, up to the Required Capital Amount)
        shall be allocated to the General Subaccount. All payments received by the
        Trustee from any Swap Counterparty at any time shall be deposited in the
        related
        Class Subaccount. All references to the Collection Account shall be deemed
        to
        include reference to all subaccounts contained therein. Withdrawals from
        and
        deposits to each of the foregoing subaccounts of the Collection Account shall
        be
        made as set forth in Sections 4.01, 4.02, 4.03 and 8.02(d) through (n). The
        Collection Account shall at all times be maintained as an Eligible Account
        and
        only the Trustee shall have access to the Collection Account for the purpose
        of
        making deposits in and withdrawals from the Collection Account in accordance
        with this Indenture. If at any time the Collection Account ceases to be an
        Eligible Account, the Trustee shall, within ten days, establish a new Collection
        Account as an Eligible Account. Funds in the Collection Account shall not
        be
        commingled by the Issuer with any other moneys, and shall not be commingled
        by
        the Trustee. All moneys deposited from time to time in the Collection Account,
        all deposits therein pursuant to this Indenture, and all investments made
        in
        Eligible Investments with such moneys, including all income or other gain
        from
        such investments, shall be held by the Trustee in the Collection Account
        as part
        of the Collateral as herein provided.

       

      (ii)   Notwithstanding
        any other provision of this Indenture, the Collection Account shall be a
        “securities account” (as defined in Section 8-501(a) of the New Jersey UCC) and
        shall be established with the Trustee, acting as a “securities intermediary” (as
        defined in Section 8-102(a)(14) of the New Jersey UCC), and, in its capacity
        as
        securities intermediary, the Trustee hereby agrees that (A) the Collection
        Account shall be a securities account of the Trustee, (B) each item of property
        (whether cash, cash equivalents, instruments, investments, investment property
        or other) credited to the Collection Account shall be treated as a “financial
        asset” within the meaning of Section 8-102(a)(9) of the New Jersey UCC, (C) such
        securities intermediary shall treat the Trustee as an “entitlement holder” (as
        defined in Section 8-102(a)(7) of the New Jersey UCC) entitled to exercise
        the
        rights that comprise each financial asset credited to the Collection Account,
        (D) such securities intermediary shall comply with entitlement orders originated
        by the Trustee without the further consent of the Issuer or any other Person
        or
        entity, (E) such securities intermediary has not agreed to comply with the
        instructions of any person

      with
        respect to the Collection Account or any security entitlements or financial
        assets relating thereto (other than pursuant to this Indenture) and shall
        not
        agree with any person other than the Trustee to comply with entitlement orders
        originated by such other person in respect of the Collection Account or any
        security entitlement or financial asset carried in the Collection Account,
        (F)
        the Collection Account and all property credited to it shall not be subject
        to
        any Lien, security interest, right of set-off in favor of such securities
        intermediary or anyone claiming through it (other than the Trustee) and in
        the
        event such securities intermediary or anyone claiming through it (other than
        the
        Trustee) has or subsequently obtains by agreement, operation of law or otherwise
        a security interest in the Collection Account, the securities intermediary
        agrees that such security interest shall be subordinate to the security interest
        of the Trustee, (G) such securities intermediary shall not have any knowledge
        without any independent investigation of any adverse claim to the Collection
        Account or to the security entitlements with respect thereto, (H) the securities
        intermediary’s jurisdiction (as defined in Section 8-110(e) of the New Jersey
        UCC) shall be the State of New Jersey and this Indenture is the agreement
        that
        governs the Collection Account for purposes of the New Jersey UCC, (I) all
        securities and other property underlying any financial assets credited to
        the
        Collection Account shall be registered in the name of the Trustee or endorsed
        to
        the Trustee or in blank, and (J) such securities intermediary shall not change
        the name or account number (other than in the normal course of operations
        in
        order to comply with internal system requirements) for the Collection Account
        without the prior written consent of the Trustee or otherwise in accordance
        with
        this Indenture. The Trustee, in its capacity as securities intermediary,
        and the
        parties hereto agree that the Collection Account shall be under the control
        (within the meaning of Section 8-106 of the New Jersey UCC) of the Trustee
        and
        no other person. Each party hereto and the Trustee, in its capacity as
        securities intermediary, agree that from time to time it shall promptly execute
        and deliver all instruments and documents, and take all actions, that may
        be
        reasonably necessary or that the Trustee may reasonably request in order
        to
        perfect and protect the security interest granted or intended to be granted
        hereby or to enable the Trustee to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies
        hereunder with respect to the Collection Account and all proceeds thereof.
        

       

      (b)
          Funds
        in
        the Collection Account shall be invested and reinvested in Eligible Investments
        by the Trustee upon an Issuer Order; provided, however, that no funds in
        the
        Defeasance Subaccount for any Series shall be invested in Eligible Investments
        or otherwise, except that U.S. Government Obligations deposited by the Issuer
        with the Trustee pursuant to Section 4.02 shall remain as such. Except as
        provided in Section 8.02(g)(x), all income or other gain from investments
        of
        moneys deposited in the Collection Account shall be deposited by the Trustee
        in
        the Collection Account, and any loss resulting from such investments shall
        be
        charged to the Collection Account. The Issuer shall not direct the Trustee
        to
        make any investment of any funds or to sell any investment held in the
        Collection Account unless the security interest granted and perfected in
        such
        account will continue to be perfected in such investment or the proceeds
        of such
        sale, in either case without any further action by any Person, and, in
        connection with any direction to the Trustee to make any such investment
        or
        sale, if requested by the Trustee, the Issuer shall deliver to the Trustee
        an
        Issuer Opinion of Counsel, acceptable to the Trustee, to such effect. Subject
        to
        Section 6.01(c), the Trustee shall not in any way be held liable for the
        selection of Eligible Investments or for investment losses incurred thereon
        except for losses attributable to the Trustee’s failure to make payments on such
        Eligible Investments issued by the Trustee, in such entity’s commercial capacity
        as principal obligor and not as Trustee, in accordance with their terms.
        The
        Trustee shall have no liability in respect of losses incurred as a

        result
          of
          the liquidation of any Eligible Investment prior to its stated maturity
          or the
          failure of the Issuer to provide timely written investment direction. The
          Trustee shall have no obligation to invest or reinvest any amounts held
          hereunder in the absence of written investment direction pursuant to an
          Issuer
          Order.

       

      (c)
          Any
        TBC
        Collections remitted by the Servicer to the Trustee, all investment earnings
        on
        the subaccounts in the Collection Account other than any Capital Subaccount,
        any
        Indemnity Amounts remitted to the Trustee by the Seller or the Servicer or
        otherwise received by the Trustee, any other proceeds of Collateral received
        by
        the Servicer, the Issuer or the Trustee and any amounts paid by any Swap
        Counterparty under an Interest Rate Swap Agreement received by the Servicer,
        the
        Issuer or the Trustee, shall be deposited in the General
        Subaccount.

       

      (d)
          On
        each
        Payment Date, first (i) any expenses, including legal fees and expenses,

        then
        current and all prior Payment Dates and $2,500,000 for any particular Payment
        Date and for all Series unless the Issuer has received confirmation from
        S&P
        that a further amount will not result in a reduction or withdrawal of the
        then
        current rating of the Outstanding Transition Bonds) and any other amounts
        due
        and owing to the Trustee pursuant to the Basic Documents for such quarter

        Amounts (as limited above) or such other amounts, shall, at the direction
        of the
        Servicer, be paid to the Trustee; and after all payments required to be made
        under subsection (i) hereof, then (ii) the fees payable to the Independent
        Managers in an amount equal to $[800] for such quarter and any other amounts
        due
        and owing to the Independent Managers pursuant to the Issuer LLC Agreement
        shall, at the direction of the Servicer, be paid to the Independent
        Managers.

       

      (e)
          On
        each
        Payment Date, after the distributions made pursuant to clause (d) above,
        the
        Quarterly Servicing Fee and any unpaid Quarterly Servicing Fees shall, at
        the
        written direction of the Servicer, be paid to the Servicer to the extent
        that
        such amounts have not been withheld by the Servicer from TBC Collections
        pursuant to Section 5.07 of the Servicing Agreement.

       

      (f)
          On
        each
        Payment Date, or such other date related to such Payment Date as may be
        specified in the related Series Supplement, the Trustee, at the written
        direction of the Servicer, shall allocate to each Class Subaccount the amounts
        specified in the related Series Supplement. Such amounts shall be so allocated
        after taking into account all allocations and payments required in connection
        with such Payment Date under clauses (d) and (e) above and (g)(i) through
        (iii)
        below; provided that in the event of any shortfall of amounts to be allocated
        pursuant to clause (g)(iii) among more than one Class of the applicable Series,
        amounts shall be allocated to such Class Subaccount on a Pro Rata basis with
        all
        other Classes of the relevant Series. Amounts in each Class Subaccount shall
        be
        applied as provided in the related Series Supplement.

        the related Series Supplement with respect to any Class Subaccount, by 12:00
        noon (prevailing New York City time), or if such day is not a Business Day,
        on
        the following Business Day, the Trustee shall, at the written direction of
        the
        Servicer, apply all amounts on deposit in the General Subaccount of the
        Collection Account and any investment earnings on the subaccounts in the
        Collection Account, except for earnings in the Capital Subaccount, after
        distribution in accordance with clauses (d) and (e) above, and, subject to
        the
        qualifications therein, after allocation to any Class Subaccount in accordance
        with clause (f) above and payment to each related Swap Counterparty in
        accordance with the related Series Supplement, in the following
        priority:

      
         

        (i)   the
          administration fee payable under, and determined in accordance with, the
          Administration Agreement in an amount not to exceed the Administrator’s actual
          cost, shall be paid to the Administrator; 

         

          (ii)   so
            long
            as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would be caused
            by such
            payment, all Operating Expenses other than distributions in accordance
            with
            clauses (d), (e) and (g)(i) above shall be paid to the Persons entitled
            thereto
            in accordance with the priorities set forth in this § 8.02, provided that
            the amount paid on such Payment Date pursuant to this clause (g)(ii)
            may not
            exceed an annual aggregate of $[250,000] for all Series;

         

        (iii)   payment
          of interest as follows:

         

        (A)   First,
          payment of accrued and unpaid interest on each Series from any prior period,
          including payment of amounts payable, if any, to each Swap Counterparty
          in
          accordance with the related Interest Rate Swap Agreement, which amount
          of unpaid
          interest shall be allocated to the corresponding Series Subaccount;

         

        (B)   Then,
          payment of the current interest then due on each Series, including payment
          of
          amounts payable to each Swap Counterparty in accordance with the related
          Interest Rate Swap Agreement, which amount of current interest shall be
          allocated to the corresponding Series Subaccount (provided, that, to the
          extent
          provided in any Series Supplement with respect to interest on any floating
          rate
          Class, such amount shall be equal to the applicable amount specified in
          the
          related Series Supplement payable with respect to that Class) and if there
          are
          insufficient funds to make such allocation in full, amounts shall be allocated
          on a Pro Rata basis to the corresponding Series Subaccount;

         

        (iv)   an
          amount
          equal to the Principal of each Class of each Series payable as a result
          of
          acceleration pursuant to Section 5.02, the Principal of each Series or
          Class
          payable because such Payment Date is on or after the Final Maturity Date
          of such
          Series or Class, and the Principal of each Series or Class payable on the
          Redemption Date for an optional redemption for such Series or Class shall
          be
          allocated to the corresponding Series Subaccount and, to the extent there
          are
          insufficient funds to make such allocation in full, amounts shall be allocated
          on a Pro Rata basis;

        (v)   an
          amount
          equal to the Principal scheduled to be paid on each Class of each Series
          on such
          Payment Date according to the Expected Amortization Schedule, excluding
          any
          amounts provided for pursuant to clause (g)(iv) above, shall be allocated
          to the
          corresponding Series Subaccount and, if there are insufficient funds to
          make
          such allocation in full, amounts shall be allocated on a Pro Rata
          basis;

         

        (vi)   all
          remaining unpaid Operating Expenses and Indemnity Amounts shall be paid
          to the
          Persons entitled thereto in accordance with the priorities set forth in
          this
          Section 8.02;

         

        (vii)   an
          amount
          necessary to replenish any shortfalls in the Capital Subaccount for each
          Series
          below the Required Capital Amount for such Series shall be allocated to
          the
          Capital Subaccount for such Series, Pro Rata, based on the Outstanding
          Principal
          balance of each Series;

         

        (viii)   an
          amount
          shall be allocated to the Overcollateralization Subaccount for each Series
          sufficient to cause the amount in the Overcollateralization Subaccount
          for such
          Series to equal the Scheduled Overcollateralization Level for such Series
          as of
          that Payment Date, Pro Rata, based on the Outstanding Principal balance
          of each
          Series;

         

        (ix)   any
          termination or breakage amounts payable by the Issuer under any Interest
          Rate
          Swap Agreement on such Payment Date shall be paid to the Persons entitled
          thereto (provided, however, that for the avoidance of doubt, payments under
          this
          clause (ix) shall be paid on an unsecured basis and shall be paid after
          payment
          on such Payment Date of all amounts provided in (d), (e), (f) and (g)(i)
          through
          (viii) above);

         

        (x)   so
          long
          as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, an amount equal
          to
          investment earnings on amounts in the Capital Subaccount shall be released
          to
          the Issuer;

         

        (xi)   the
          balance, if any, shall be allocated to the Reserve Subaccount; and

         

        (xii)   following
          repayment of all amounts payable hereunder and with respect to all outstanding
          Series, subclause (g)(xi) shall cease to apply and the balance, if any,
          shall be
          released to the Issuer free from the Lien of this Indenture.

      

       

      (h)
          For
        purposes of allocations among Series prior to an acceleration of the maturity
        of
        Transition Bonds pursuant to Section 5.02, except as otherwise provided in
        any
        Series Supplement, “Pro Rata” means with respect to any Series a ratio: (i) in
        the case of a payment of interest on any Payment Date, the numerator of which
        is
        the amount of interest payable on such Series on such Payment Date and, with
        respect to any Class of such Series of floating rate Transition Bonds, the
        Gross
        Fixed Amount for that class (as such term is defined by the related Series
        Supplement) on such Payment Date, and the denominator of which is the aggregate
        amount of interest payable on all Series on such Payment Date; (ii) in the
        case
        of a payment of Principal on any Payment Date, the numerator of which is
        the
        aggregate amount of Principal scheduled to be paid or payable, as the case
        may
        be, on such Payment Date with

       

      
        
          
          

        

        
          55

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

      

       

      respect
        to such Series and the denominator of which is the sum of the aggregate amounts
        of Principal scheduled to be paid or payable, as the case may be, with respect
        to all Outstanding Series on such Payment Date; and (iii) in the case of
        a
        payment or allocation on any Payment Date other than of interest or Principal,
        the numerator of which is the Outstanding Principal amount of such Series
        immediately prior such Payment Date and the denominator of which is the
        aggregate Outstanding Principal amount of all Series immediately prior such
        Payment Date.

       

      (i)
          If,
        on
        any Payment Date, funds on deposit in the General Subaccount are insufficient
        to
        make the payments and allocations contemplated by subclauses (d), (e), (f)
        and
        (g)(i) through (v), (vii) and (viii) above for all Series, the Trustee shall,
        at
        the written direction of the Servicer, draw from amounts on deposit in the
        following subaccounts in the following order up to the amount of such shortfall,
        in order to make such payments and allocations:

      
         

        (i)   from
          the
          Reserve Subaccount for all Series, Pro Rata, for payments and allocations
          contemplated by subclauses (d), (e), (f) and (g)(i) through (v), (vii)
          and
          (viii);

         

        (ii)   from
          the
          Overcollateralization Subaccount for such Series, Pro Rata, for payments
          and
          allocations contemplated by subclauses (d), (e), (f) and (g)(i) through
          (v);
          and

         

        (iii)   from
          the
          Capital Subaccount for such Series, Pro Rata, for payments and allocations
          contemplated by subclauses (d), (e), (f) and (g)(i) through
          (v);

      

       

      provided
        that no amounts from the Reserve Subaccount, the Overcollateralization
        Subaccount for such Series or the Capital Subaccount for such Series shall
        be
        allocated to any Class Subaccount pursuant to subclause (g)(iii) to the extent
        a
        shortfall in amounts available to pay interest due on the related Class is
        due
        solely to a failure by a Swap Counterparty to make payments due under the
        related Interest Rate Swap Agreement.

       

      (j)
          On
        each
        Payment Date for each Series prior to an acceleration of the maturity of
        Transition Bonds pursuant to Section 5.02, the amounts on deposit in such
        Series
        Subaccount shall be allocated, at the written direction of the Servicer,
        in the
        following order of priority: (i) to pay interest due and payable on the
        Transition Bonds of such Series with respect to such Payment Date to the
        Holders
        of such Series; and (ii) the balance, if any, up to the amount of Principal
        scheduled to be paid or payable on the Transition Bonds of such Series on
        such
        Payment Date, to pay such Principal to the Holders of such Series.

       

      (k)
          Prior
        to
        an acceleration of the Transition Bonds pursuant to Section 5.02, payments
        of
        interest with respect to each Series comprised of two or more Classes shall
        be
        allocated among the Classes within such Series on a Pro Rata basis. All payments
        of Principal shall be made in the order set forth in the Expected Amortization
        Schedule established with respect to each Series and within such Series,
        in
        order of Class, and all payments of Principal that were not made on the
        scheduled Payment Date therefor shall be made in the order that they were
        scheduled for payment.

       

      (l)
          For
        purposes of allocations among Classes within a Series prior to an acceleration
        of the maturity of Transition Bonds pursuant to Section 5.02, except as
        otherwise

       

      
        
          
          

        

        
          56

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

      

       

      provided
        in the related Series Supplement, “Pro Rata” means with respect to any Class a
        ratio: (i) in the case of a payment of interest with respect to any Payment
        Date, the numerator of which is the amount of interest payable to such Class
        on
        such Payment Date, or in the case of any Class of floating rate Transition
        Bonds, the Gross Fixed Amount for that class (as such term is defined by
        the
        related Series Supplement) on such Payment Date, and the denominator of which
        is
        the aggregate amount of interest payable on all Classes within such Series
        on
        such Payment Date; and (ii) in the case of a payment of Principal on any
        Payment
        Date, the numerator of which is the aggregate amount of Principal scheduled
        to
        be paid or payable, as the case may be, on such Payment Date with respect
        to
        such Class and the denominator of which is the sum of the aggregate amounts
        of
        Principal scheduled to be paid or payable, as the case may be, with respect
        to
        all Outstanding Classes within such Series on such Payment Date.

       

      (m)
          Prior
        to
        an acceleration of the Transition Bonds pursuant to Section 5.02, all payments
        of Principal and interest to Holders of a single Class, or of a single Series
        without Classes, shall be made on a proportionate basis based on the respective
        Principal amounts of such Transition Bonds held by such Holders.

       

      (n)
          Upon
        an
        acceleration of the maturity of the Transition Bonds pursuant to Section
        5.02,
        the aggregate amount of Principal of and interest accrued and unpaid on each
        Transition Bond shall be payable, without priority of interest over Principal
        or
        of Principal over interest and without regard to Series or Class, in the
        proportion that the aggregate amount of Principal of and interest accrued
        and
        unpaid on such Transition Bond bears to the aggregate amount of Principal
        of and
        interest accrued and unpaid on all Transition Bonds.

       

      (o)
          Notwithstanding
        any other provision in this Indenture to the contrary, in the event of an
        acceleration of the maturity of Transition Bonds and a subsequent liquidation
        of
        the Collateral in accordance with Section 5.04(a), if so required by any
        Interest Rate Swap Agreement, the proceeds of such liquidation allocated
        to the
        related Class of floating rate Transition Bonds in accordance with this Section
        8.02 shall be deposited in the related Class Subaccount and allocated between
        and paid to the Holders of such floating rate Class, on the one hand, and
        the
        related Swap Counterparty, on the other hand, pro rata based on the aggregate
        amount of Principal and interest due and payable on such floating rate Class
        and
        the aggregate amount payable to the related Swap Counterparty in accordance
        with
        such Interest Rate Swap Agreement.

       

      SECTION
        8.03  RELEASE
        OF COLLATERAL.

       

      (a)
          All
        money
        and other property withdrawn from the Collection Account by the Trustee for
        payment to the Issuer as provided in this Indenture in accordance with Section

        in accordance with the provisions of Article VIII, without further notice
        to, or
        release or consent by, the Trustee.

       

      (b)
          Other
        than as provided for in clause (a) above, the Trustee shall release property
        from the Lien of this Indenture only as and to the extent permitted by the
        Basic
        Documents and only upon receipt of an Issuer Request accompanied by an Issuer
        Officer’s Certificate, an Issuer Opinion of Counsel and Independent Certificates

      Sections
        314(c) and 314(d)(1) meeting the applicable requirements of Section 11.01
        or an
        Issuer Opinion of Counsel in lieu of such Independent Certificates to the
        effect
        that the TIA does not require any such Independent Certificate.

       

      (c)
          Subject
        to the payment of its fees and expenses pursuant to Section 6.07, the Trustee
        may, and when required by the provisions of this Indenture shall, execute
        instruments to release property from the Lien of this Indenture, or convey
        the
        Trustee’s interest in the same, in a manner and under circumstances that are not
        inconsistent with the provisions of this Indenture. No party relying upon
        an
        instrument executed by the Trustee as provided in this Article VIII shall
        be
        bound to ascertain the Trustee’s authority, inquire into the satisfaction of any
        conditions precedent or see to the application of any moneys.

       

      (d)
          Subject
        to Section 8.03(b), the Trustee shall, at such time as there are no Transition
        Bonds Outstanding and all sums due the Trustee pursuant to Section 6.07 have
        been paid, release any remaining portion of the Collateral that secured the
        Transition Bonds from the Lien of this Indenture and release to the Issuer
        or
        any other Person entitled thereto any funds or investments then on deposit
        in or
        credited to the Collection Account.

       

      SECTION
        8.04  ISSUER
        OPINION OF COUNSEL. 
        The Trustee shall receive at least five days written notice when requested
        by
        the Issuer to take any action pursuant to Section 8.03, accompanied by copies
        of
        any instruments involved, and the Trustee shall also require, as a condition
        to
        such action, an Issuer Opinion of Counsel, in form and substance satisfactory
        to
        the Trustee, stating the legal effect of any such action, outlining the steps
        required to complete the same, and concluding that all conditions precedent
        to
        the taking of such action have been complied with and such action will not
        materially and adversely impair the security for the Transition Bonds or
        the
        rights of the Transition Bondholders in contravention of the provisions of
        this
        Indenture; provided, however, that such Issuer Opinion of Counsel shall not
        be
        required to express an opinion as to the fair value of the Collateral. The
        Issuer Opinion of Counsel may be based (without further examination or
        investigation), insofar as it relates to or is dependent upon factual matters,
        information with respect to which is in the possession of the Issuer, upon
        a
        certificate of, or representations by, an officer or officers of the Issuer,
        and
        insofar as it relates to or is dependent upon matters which are subject to
        verification by accountants or other experts, upon a certificate or opinion
        of,
        or representations by, such accountant or other expert, unless such counsel
        has
        actual knowledge that the certificate or opinion or representations with
        respect
        to the matters upon which the opinion may be based as aforesaid are
        erroneous.

       

      SECTION
        8.05  REPORTS
        BY INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS. 
        The Issuer shall appoint a firm of Independent registered public accountants
        of
        recognized national reputation for purposes of preparing and delivering the
        reports or certificates of such accountants required by this Indenture and
        the

        in all
        respects to such modifications and amendments, and all the terms and conditions

      SECTION
        10.01  OPTIONAL
        REDEMPTION BY ISSUER. 
        If so provided in the related Series Supplement and provided that there is
        no
        Interest Rate Swap Agreement with respect to any Class of that Series in
        effect,
        the Issuer may, at its option, redeem all, but not less than all, of the
        Transition Bonds of a Series on any Payment Date if, after giving effect
        to
        payments that would otherwise be made on such Payment Date, the Outstanding
        Amount of any such Series has been reduced to less than five percent of the
        initial principal balance of such Series. The redemption price in any case
        shall
        be equal to the outstanding Principal amount of the Transition Bonds to be
        redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon at the Interest Rate to
        the
        Redemption Date (the “Redemption Price”). If the Issuer elects to redeem the
        Transition Bonds of a Series pursuant to this Section 10.01, it shall furnish
        notice of such election to (a) the Trustee, not later than twenty-five days
        prior to the Redemption Date for such redemption and (b) the Rating Agencies,
        not later than ten days prior to such Redemption Date, whereupon all such
        Transition Bonds shall be due and payable on such Redemption Date upon the
        furnishing of a notice complying with Section 10.03 to each Holder of the
        Transition Bonds of such Series pursuant to this Section 10.01.

        REDEMPTION BY ISSUER. 
        The Issuer shall redeem the Transition Bonds of a Series on the Redemption
        Date
        or Dates, if any, in the amounts required, if any, and at the redemption

        not less than the outstanding Principal amount of the Transition Bonds to
        be
        redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to such Redemption Date.
        If
        the Issuer is required to redeem the Transition Bonds of a Series pursuant

        complying with Section 10.03 to each Holder of the Transition Bonds of such
        Series pursuant to this Section 10.02.

       

      SECTION
        10.03  FORM
        OF
        REDEMPTION NOTICE.

       

      (a)
          Unless
        otherwise specified in the Series Supplement relating to a Series, notice
        of
        redemption under Section 10.01 or 10.02 shall be given by the Trustee by
        first-class mail, postage prepaid, mailed not less than five days nor more
        than
        forty-five days prior to the applicable Redemption Date to each Holder to
        be
        redeemed, as of the close of business on the Record Date preceding the
        applicable Redemption Date at such Holder’s address appearing in the Transition
        Bond Register.

       

      (b)
          All
        notices of redemption shall state:

      
         

        (i)   the
          Redemption Date;

         

        (ii)   the
          amount of such Transition Bonds to be redeemed;

         

        (iii)   the
          Redemption Price; and

         

        (iv)   the
          place
          where such Transition Bonds are to be surrendered for payment of the Redemption
          Price (which shall be the office or agency of the Issuer to be maintained
          as
          provided in Section 3.02).

      

       

      (c)
          Notice
        of
        redemption of the Transition Bonds to be redeemed shall be given by the Trustee
        in the name and at the expense of the Issuer. Failure to give notice of
        redemption, or any defect therein, to any Holder of any Transition Bond selected
        for redemption shall not impair or affect the validity of the redemption
        of any
        other Transition Bond. Notice of optional redemption shall be irrevocable
        once
        given. For so long as any Transition Bonds are listed on the Luxembourg Stock
        Exchange and the rules of that exchange so require, notice of redemption
        also
        will be given by publication in a daily newspaper in Luxembourg not less
        than 10
        days prior to the date of redemption.

       

      (d)
          With
        respect to any notice of redemption of Transition Bonds at the election of
        the
        Issuer, unless, upon the giving of such notice, such Transition Bonds shall
        be
        deemed to have been paid in accordance with Section 10.01, such notice may
        state
        that such redemption shall be conditioned upon the receipt by the Paying
        Agent,
        on or prior to the Redemption Date, of money sufficient to pay the Redemption
        Price and that if such money shall not have been so received, such notice
        shall
        be of no force or effect and the Issuer shall not be required to redeem such
        Transition Bonds. In the event that such notice of redemption contains such
        a
        condition and the Redemption Price is not so received, the redemption shall
        not
        be made and within a reasonable time thereafter notice shall be given, in
        the
        manner in which the notice of redemption was given, that such Redemption
        Price
        was not so received and such redemption was not required to be made, and
        the
        Paying Agent shall promptly return to the surrendering Holders all Transition
        Bonds that had been surrendered for payment upon such redemption.

      SECTION
        10.04  PAYMENT
        OF REDEMPTION PRICE. 
        If notice of redemption has been duly mailed or duly waived by the Holders
        of
        all Transition Bonds called for redemption, then the Transition Bonds called
        for
        redemption shall be payable on the applicable Redemption Date at the applicable
        Redemption Price. No further interest will accrue on the Principal amount
        of any
        Transition Bonds called for redemption after the Redemption Date, and the
        Holders of such Transition Bonds will have no rights with respect thereto,
        if
        payment of the Redemption Price has been duly provided for on or before the
        Redemption Date declared therefor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Holders
        of
        the Transition Bonds shall be entitled to payment of interest on the Redemption
        Price accrued at the related Interest Rates to the extent the Issuer fails
        to
        pay the Redemption Price on the Redemption Date. Payment of the Redemption
        Price
        shall be made by the Trustee to or upon the order of the Holders of the
        Transition Bonds called for redemption upon surrender of such Transition
        Bonds,
        and the Transition Bonds so redeemed shall cease to be of further effect
        and the
        Lien hereunder shall be released with respect to such Transition
        Bonds.

        DOCUMENTS DELIVERED TO TRUSTEE.

       

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

       

      (b)
          Any
        certificate or opinion of an Authorized Officer of the Issuer may be based,
        insofar as it relates to legal matters, upon a certificate or opinion of,
        or
        representations by, counsel, unless such officer knows, or in the exercise
        of
        reasonable care should know, that the certificate or opinion or representations
        with respect to the matters upon which such certificate or opinion is based
        are
        erroneous. Any such certificate of an Authorized Officer or Issuer Opinion
        of
        Counsel may be based, insofar as it relates to factual matters, upon a
        certificate or opinion of, or representations by, an officer or officers
        of the
        Servicer, the Seller or the Issuer, stating that the information with respect
        to
        such factual matters is in the possession of the Servicer, the Seller or
        the
        Issuer, unless such Authorized Officer or counsel knows, or in the exercise

        reasonable care should know, that the certificate or opinion or representations
        with respect to such matters are erroneous.

       

      (c)
          Where
        any
        Person is required to make, give or execute two or more applications, requests,

        Indenture, they may, but need not, be consolidated and form one
        instrument.

       

      (d)
          Whenever
        in this Indenture, in connection with any application or certificate or report
        to the Trustee, it is provided that the Issuer shall deliver any document
        as a
        condition of the granting of such application, or as evidence of the Issuer’s
        compliance with any term hereof, it is intended that the truth and accuracy,
        at
        the time of the granting of such application or at the effective date of
        such
        certificate or report (as the case may be), of the facts and opinions stated
        in
        such document shall in such case be conditions precedent to the right of
        the
        Issuer to have such application granted or to the sufficiency of such
        certificate or report. The foregoing shall not, however, be construed to
        affect
        the Trustee’s right to conclusively rely upon the truth and accuracy of any
        statement or opinion contained in any such document as provided in Article
        VI.

        Bondholders signing such instrument or instruments. Proof of execution of
        any
        such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient
        for any purpose of this Indenture and (subject to Section 6.01) conclusive

          Any

        or
        in lieu thereof, in respect of anything done, omitted or suffered to be done
        by

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

       

      (b)
          Where
        this Indenture provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived
        in
        writing by any Person entitled to receive such notice, either before or after
        the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers
        of
        notice by Transition Bondholders shall be filed with the Trustee but such
        filing
        shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in
        reliance upon such a waiver.

       

      (c)
          In

        it shall be impractical to deliver notice in accordance with clause (a) of
        this
        Section 11.05 to the Holders when such notice is required to be given pursuant
        to any provision of this Indenture, then any manner of giving such notice
        as
        shall be satisfactory to the Trustee shall be deemed to be a sufficient giving
        of such notice. 

       

      (d)

        this Indenture provides for notice to the Rating Agencies, failure to give

        5

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    (a) the
      Indenture creates a valid and continuing security interest (as defined in the
      New Jersey UCC) in, to and under that portion of the Collateral subject to
      Article 9 of the New Jersey UCC, including the Transferred Bondable Transition

    (b) the
      Transferred Bondable Transition Property constitutes an “account” within the
      meaning of the New Jersey UCC;

     

    (c) the

      any
      financing statement relating to the security interest granted to the Trustee
      under the Indenture or that has been terminated; and the Issuer is not aware
      of
      any judgment or tax lien filing against the Issuer.

    JCP&L
      Transition Funding LLC, a limited liability company formed and existing under
      the laws of the State of Delaware (herein referred to as the “Issuer”), for
      value received, hereby promises to pay to the Registered Holder hereof, or
      registered assigns, the Original Principal Amount shown above in quarterly
      installments on the Payment Dates (as defined below) and in the amounts
      determined as specified on the reverse hereof or, if there are insufficient
      funds available, the amounts determined pursuant to Section 8.02(g) of the
      Indenture, in each year, commencing on _______and ending on or before the Final
      Maturity Date, to pay the entire unpaid principal hereof on the Final Maturity
      Date and to pay interest, at the Interest Rate shown above at a fixed rate,
      on
      each March 5, June 5, September 5 and December 5, and if any such day is not

      Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day, commencing on ____________,
      20__
      and continuing until the earlier of the payment of the principal hereof and
      the
      Final Maturity Date (each a “Payment Date”), on the principal amount of this
      Class A-[ ] Transition Bond outstanding from time to time. Interest will be
      computed (i) for the first Payment Date, on the basis of the number of days
      (determined on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months) from and
      including the Series Issuance Date, to but excluding the initial Payment Date,
      divided by 360, multiplied by the product of the Interest Rate shown above
      times
      the Original Principal Amount of the Class A-[ ] Transition Bonds, and (ii)
      for
      each succeeding Payment Date, the number of days (determined on the basis of
      a
      360-day year of twelve 30-day months) from and including the preceding Payment

      the
      Class A-[ ] Transition Bonds as of the close of business on the preceding
      Payment Date after giving effect to all payments of principal made to the
      Holders of the Class A-[ ] Transition Bonds on such preceding Payment Date.

    REVERSE
      OF TRANSITION BOND

     

    This
      Class A-[ ] Transition Bond is one of a duly authorized issue of Transition
      Bonds of the Issuer, designated as its Transition Bonds (herein called the
      “Transition Bonds”), issued and to be issued in one or more Series, which Series
      are issuable in one or more Classes. The Series 2006-A Transition Bonds consist
      of four Classes, including the Class A-[ ] Transition Bonds (herein called
      the
“Class A-[ ] Transition Bonds”). The Class A-[ ] Transition Bonds have been
      issued under an indenture dated as of August __, 2006, and a series supplement
      thereto dated as of August __, 2006 (such series supplement, as supplemented
      or
      amended, the “Series Supplement” and, collectively with such indenture, as
      supplemented or amended, the “Indenture”), each between the Issuer and The Bank
      of New York, as Trustee (the “Trustee”, which term includes any successor
      trustee under the Indenture), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental
      thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the Collateral pledged,
      the
      nature and extent of the security, the respective rights, obligations and
      immunities thereunder of the Issuer, the Trustee and the Holders of the
      Transition Bonds and the terms and conditions under which additional Transition
      Bonds may be issued. All capitalized terms used in this Class A-[ ] Transition
      Bond that are defined in the Indenture, as supplemented or amended, shall have
      the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture. 

     

    The
      Class
      A-[ ] Transition Bonds, the other Classes of Series 2006-A Transition Bonds
      and
      any other Series of Transition Bonds issued by the Issuer are and will be
      equally and ratably secured by the Collateral pledged as security therefor
      as
      provided in the Indenture.

     

    The
      principal of this Class A-[ ] Transition Bond shall be payable on each Payment
      Date only to the extent that amounts in the Collection Account are available
      therefor, and only until the outstanding principal balance of the Class A-[
      ]
      Transition Bonds on such Payment Date (after giving effect to all payments
      of
      principal, if any, made on such Payment Date) has been reduced to the principal
      balance specified in the Expected Amortization Schedule which is attached to
      the
      Series Supplement as Schedule A, unless payable earlier either
      because

     

    (i) an
      Event
      of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Trustee or the Holders of
      Transition Bonds representing not less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount
      of the Transition Bonds of all Series have declared the Transition Bonds to
      be
      immediately due and payable in accordance with Section 5.02 of the Indenture
      or

     

    (ii) the
      Issuer, at its option, has called for the redemption of the Series 2006-A
      Transition Bonds in whole pursuant to Section 7(b) of the Series Supplement
      and
      Section 10.01 of the Indenture. 

     

    If
      there
      are insufficient funds available in the Collection Account, actual principal
      payments may be made in lesser than expected amounts and at later than expected
      times as determined pursuant to Section 8.02(g) of the Indenture. The entire
      unpaid principal amount of this Class A-[ ] Transition Bond shall be due and
      payable on the earlier of the Final Maturity Date hereof and the Redemption
      Date, if any. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the entire unpaid principal amount
      of the Transition Bonds shall be due and payable, if not then previously paid,
      on the date on which an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing
      and the Trustee or the Holders of the Transition Bonds of all Series
      representing not less than a majority of the

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        2

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    Outstanding
      Amount of the Transition Bonds have declared the Transition Bonds to be
      immediately due and payable in the manner provided in Section 5.02 of the
      Indenture. All principal payments on the Class A-[ ] Transition Bonds shall
      be
      made pro rata to the Holders of the Class A-[ ] Transition Bonds entitled
      thereto based on the respective principal amounts of the Class A-[ ] Transition
      Bonds held by them.

     

    Payments
      of interest on this Class A-[ ] Transition Bond due and payable on each Payment
      Date, together with the installment of principal payable on this Class A-[
      ]
      Transition Bond on such Payment Date, shall be made by check mailed first-class,

    As
      provided in the Indenture, the Class A-[ ] Transition Bonds may be redeemed,
      in
      whole, but not in part, in certain circumstances as provided in Section 7(b)
      of
      the Series Supplement and Section 10.01 of the Indenture.

     

    This
      Class A-[ ] Transition Bond is a Transition Bond as such term is defined in
      the
      Competition Act. Principal and interest due and payable on this Transition
      Bond
      are payable from and secured primarily by bondable transition property
      authorized by a bondable stranded cost rate order issued by the BPU pursuant
      to
      the Competition Act. Bondable transition property includes the irrevocable
      right
      to impose and collect certain non-bypassable charges (defined in the Competition
      Act as “transition bond charges”) to be included in electric utility bills of
      all

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        2

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    electric
      service retail customers of Jersey Central Power & Light Company, a New
      Jersey electric utility.

     

    The
      Competition Act provides that:

     

    “The
      State of New Jersey does hereby pledge and agree with the holders of any
      transition bonds issued under the authority of this act, with the pledgee,
      owner
      or assignee of bondable transition property, with any financing entity which
      has
      issued transition bonds with respect to which a bondable stranded costs rate
      order has been issued and with any person who may enter into agreements with
      an
      electric public utility or an assignee or pledgee thereof or a financing entity
      pursuant to this act, that the State will not limit, alter or impair any
      bondable transition property or other rights vested in an electric public
      utility or an assignee or pledgee thereof or a financing entity or vested in
      the
      holders of any transition bonds pursuant to a bondable stranded costs rate
      order
      until such transition bonds, together with the interest and acquisition or
      redemption premium, if any, thereon, are fully paid and discharged or until
      such
      agreements are fully performed on the part of the electric public utility,
      any
      assignee or pledgee thereof or the financing entity or in any way limit, alter,
      impair or reduce the value or amount of the bondable transition property
      approved by a bondable stranded costs rate order . . . .”

     

    The
      issuance of this Class A-[ ]Transition Bond under the Competition Act does
      not,
      directly, indirectly or contingently, obligate the State of New Jersey or any
      political subdivision thereof to levy or pledge any form of taxation therefor
      or
      to make an appropriation for its payment. This Class A-[ ] Transition Bond
      will
      be payable solely from Bondable Transition Property and such other proceeds
      or
      property as may be pledged therefor.

     

    As
      provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations set forth therein,
      the transfer of this Class A-[ ] Transition Bond may be registered in the
      Transition Bond Register upon surrender of this Class A-[ ] Transition Bond
      for
      registration of transfer at the office or agency designated by the Issuer
      pursuant to the Indenture, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written
      instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee duly executed by,
      the
      Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, with such signature
      guaranteed by an Eligible Guarantor Institution, and thereupon one or more
      new
      Class A-[ ] Transition Bonds of any Authorized Denominations and in the same
      aggregate initial principal amount will be issued to the designated transferee
      or transferees. No service charge will be charged for any registration of
      transfer or exchange of this Class A-[ ] Transition Bond, but the transferor
      may
      be required to pay a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental
      charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer
      or
      exchange. 

     

    Prior
      to
      the due presentment for registration of transfer of this Class A-[ ] Transition
      Bond, the Issuer, the Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee may
      treat the Person in whose name this Class A-[ ] Transition Bond is registered
      (as of the day of determination) as the owner hereof for the purpose of
      receiving payments of principal of and interest on this Class A-[ ] Transition
      Bond and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not this Class A-[ ]
      Transition Bond may be overdue, and neither the Issuer, the Trustee nor any
      such
      agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        3

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    The
      Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment
      thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Issuer and
      the
      rights of the Holders of the Transition Bonds under the Indenture at any time
      by
      the Issuer with the consent of the Holders of Transition Bonds representing
      a
      majority of the Outstanding Amount of all Transition Bonds at the time
      Outstanding of each Series or Class to be affected. The Indenture also contains
      provisions permitting the Holders of Transition Bonds representing specified
      percentages of the Outstanding Amount of the Transition Bonds of all Series,
      on
      behalf of the Holders of all the Transition Bonds, to waive compliance by the
      Issuer with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under
      the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder
      of this Class A-[ ] Transition Bond (or any one of more predecessors of such
      transition bonds) shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon
      all
      future Holders of this Class A-[ ] Transition Bond and of any Class A-[ ]
      Transition Bond issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange
      hereof or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent or waiver
      is
      made upon this Class A-[ ] Transition Bond. The Indenture also permits the
      Trustee to amend or waive certain terms and conditions set forth in the
      Indenture without the consent of Holders of the Transition Bonds issued
      thereunder.

     

    The
      term
“Issuer” as used in this Class A-[ ] Transition Bond includes any successor to
      the Issuer under the Indenture.

     

    The
      Issuer is permitted by the Indenture, under certain circumstances, to merge
      or
      consolidate, subject to the rights of the Trustee and the Holders of Transition
      Bonds under the Indenture. 

     

    The
      Class
      A-[ ] Transition Bonds are issuable only in registered form in Authorized
      Denominations as provided in the Indenture and the Series Supplement, subject
      to
      certain limitations therein set forth. 

     

    This
      Class A-[ ] Transition Bond and the Indenture 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 and thereunder shall be determined in accordance with such
      laws.

     

    No
      reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Class A-[ ]
      Transition Bond or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of
      the
      Issuer, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and
      interest on this Class A-[ ] Transition Bond at the times and rate and in the
      currency herein prescribed.
