                        REVERSE OF BGS TRANSITION BOND

     This Series 2005-1, 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 2005-1
Transition Bonds consist of three 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 ___________,
2005, and a series supplement thereto dated as of ___________, 2005 (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 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 2005-1
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 thereof
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 Sinking Fund Amortization Schedule which is attached to the
Series Supplement as Schedule A, unless payable earlier because 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 5.2 of the
Indenture.

However, actual principal payments may be made in lesser than expected amounts
and at later than expected times as determined pursuant to Section 8.2(g) of
the Indenture. The entire unpaid principal amount of this Series 2005-1, 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 Outstanding Amount of the Transition Bonds have declared the Transition
Bonds to be immediately due and payable in the manner provided in Section 5.2
of the Indenture. All principal payments on the Class A-_ Transition Bonds
shall be made pro rata to the Class A-_ Transition Bondholders entitled
thereto based on the respective principal amounts of the Series 2005-1, Class
A-_ Transition Bonds held by them.

                                      5
<PAGE>

     Payments of interest on this Class A-_ Transition Bond due and payable on
each Payment Date, together with the instalment of principal payable on this
Class A-_ Transition Bond on such Payment Date shall be made by check mailed
first-class, postage prepaid, to the Person whose name appears as the
Registered Holder of this Class A-_ Transition Bond (or any one or more
predecessor of such Transition Bond) in the Transition Bond Register as of the
close of business on the Record Date or in such other manner as may be
provided in the Series Supplement, except that with respect to Class A-_
Transition Bonds registered on the Record Date in the name of a Clearing
Agency, payments will be made by wire transfer in immediately available funds
to the account designated by such Clearing Agency and except for the final
instalment of principal payable with respect to this Class A-_ Transition Bond
on a Payment Date which shall be payable as provided below. Such checks shall
be mailed to the Person entitled thereto at the address of such Person as it
appears in the Transition Bond Register as of the applicable Record Date
without requiring that this Class A-_ Transition Bond be submitted for
notation of payment. Any reduction in the principal amount of this Class A-_
Transition Bond (or any one or more predecessor to such Transition Bond)
effected by any payments made on any Payment Date shall be binding 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 noted hereon. If funds are expected
to be available, as provided in the Indenture, for payment in full of the then
remaining unpaid principal amount of this Class A-_ Transition Bond on a
Payment Date, then the Trustee, in the name of and on behalf of the Issuer,
will notify the Person who was the Registered Holder hereof as of the second
preceding Record Date to such Payment Date by notice mailed no later than five
days prior to such final Payment Date and shall specify that such final
instalment will be payable to the Registered Holder hereof as of the Record
Date immediately preceding such final Payment Date and only upon presentation
and surrender of this Class A-_ Transition Bond and shall specify the place
where this Series 2005-1, Class A-_ Transition Bond may be presented and
surrendered for payment of such instalment.

     The Issuer shall pay interest on overdue instalments of interest on this
Class A-_ Transition Bond at the Interest Rate for Class A-_ to the extent
lawful.

     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 created and established by a bondable stranded cost rate order issued
by the State of New Jersey Board of Public Utilities pursuant to the
Competition Act. Bondable transition property consists of 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 electric service retail customers of Public Service
Electric and Gas 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

                                      6
<PAGE>

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 . . .".

     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.

     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 or more predecessor 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 Series 2005-1, 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.

     As of the Transfer Date, the Seller makes the following representations
and warranties on which the Issuer has relied and will rely in acquiring

and warranties are made under existing law as in effect

                                        6
<PAGE>

as of the Transfer Date. The Seller shall not be in breach of any representation
or warranty herein as a result of a change in law occurring after the Transfer

Trustee pursuant to the Indenture.

     Section 3.1. Organization and Good Standing. The Seller is a corporation
duly organized and in good standing under the laws of the State of New Jersey,
with corporate power and authority to own its properties and conduct its
business as currently owned or conducted.

     Section 3.2. Due Qualification. The Seller is duly qualified to do
business as a foreign corporation in good standing, and has obtained all
necessary licenses and approvals, in all jurisdictions in which the ownership
or lease of property or the conduct of its business requires such
qualifications, licenses or approvals (except where the failure to so qualify
and to obtain such licenses and approvals would not be reasonably likely to
have a material adverse effect on the Seller's business, operations, assets,
revenues, properties or prospects).

     Section 3.3. Power and Authority. The Seller has the corporate power and
authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to carry out its terms;
the Seller has full corporate power and authority to own the BGS Bondable

valid and binding obligation of the Seller enforceable against the Seller in
accordance with its terms subject to bankruptcy, receivership, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium or other laws affecting creditors' rights generally
from time to time in effect and to general principles of equity (regardless of
whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).

     Section 3.5. No Violation. The consummation of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement and the fulfillment of the terms hereof do not
conflict with, result in any breach of any of the terms and provisions of, or
constitute (with or without notice or lapse of time) a default under, the
articles of incorporation or by-laws of the Seller, or any indenture,
agreement or other instrument to which the Seller is a party or by which it is
bound; nor result in the creation or imposition of any Lien upon any of its
properties pursuant to the terms of any such indenture, agreement or other
instrument (except as contemplated by the Basic Documents and as set forth in
Section 2.1(e) hereof); nor violate any law or any order, rule or regulation
applicable to the Seller of any court or of any federal or State regulatory
body, administrative agency or other governmental instrumentality having
jurisdiction over the Seller or its properties. The BGS Bondable Transition

August 1, 1924 (as amended and supplemented by 95 supplemental indentures), of
Public Service Electric and Gas Company to Fidelity Union Trust Company, as
successor trustee.

     Section 3.6. No Proceedings. Except as disclosed in writing by the Seller
to the Issuer, there are no proceedings or investigations pending or, to the
Seller's best knowledge, threatened,

before any court, federal or State regulatory body, administrative agency or

         Transition Bonds, the Competition Act or the Financing Order;

         or the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by the

         Bonds as debt of the Seller for federal and State income, gross
         receipts or franchise tax purposes; or

              (d) seeking any determination or ruling that could reasonably be
         expected to materially and adversely affect the performance by the
         Seller of its obligations under, or the validity or enforceability
         of, the Basic Documents or the BGS Transition Bonds.

     Section 3.7. Approvals. Except for the filing of financing statements and

<PAGE>

BGS Bondable Transition Property and to grant to the Trustee a first priority
perfected security interest in the Transferred BGS Bondable Transition
Property, free and clear of all Liens of the Seller or anyone else have been
taken or made.

        (d)      Financing Order Irrevocable; Process Valid; No Litigation; Etc.

                (i) The Financing Order as issued on July 12, 2005 has been
         issued by the BPU in accordance with the Competition Act, and such
         order and the process by which it was issued comply with all
         applicable laws, rules and regulations, including but not limited to
         the due process requirements of the United States Constitution and
         the New Jersey Constitution. The Financing Order has become effective
         pursuant to the Competition Act and is and as of the date of issuance
         of any BGS Transition Bonds will be in full force and effect and
         final and non-appealable.

                (ii) As of the Series Issuance Date, the BGS Transition Bonds
         of the related Series will be entitled to the protections provided by
         the Competition Act and, in accordance with the Competition Act, the
         Financing Order and the BGS Transition Bond Charge authorized therein
         have become irrevocable and each Advice Letter is final and
         uncontestable.

                        (A) Under the Competition Act, the State of New Jersey
                may not limit, alter or impair the Transferred BGS Bondable
                Transition Property or other rights vested in the Seller, the
                Issuer, the Trustee or the BGS Transition Bondholders pursuant
                to the Financing Order until the BGS Transition Bonds are fully
                paid and discharged, or in any way limit, alter, impair or
                reduce the value or amount of the Transferred BGS Bondable
                Transition Property; and

                        (B) under the Contract Clauses of the United States
                Constitution and the New Jersey Constitution, the State of New
                Jersey, including the BPU, could not constitutionally take any
                action of a legislative character, including the repeal or
                amendment of the Competition Act, which would substantially
                limit, alter or impair the BGS Bondable Transition Property or
                other rights vested in the BGS Transition Bondholders pursuant
                to the Financing Order, or substantially limit, alter, impair
                or reduce the value or amount of the BGS Bondable Transition
                Property, unless such action is a reasonable exercise of the
                State of New Jersey's sovereign powers and of a character
                reasonable and appropriate to the public purpose justifying
                such action and under the Takings Clauses of the United States
                and New Jersey Constitutions, the State of New Jersey could
                not repeal or amend the Competition Act or take any other
                action in contravention of its pledge and agreement quoted
                above without paying just compensation to the BGS Transition
                Bondholders, as determined by a court of competent
                jurisdiction, if doing so would constitute a permanent
                appropriation of a substantial property interest of the BGS
                Transition Bondholders in the BGS Bondable Transition Property
                and deprive the BGS Transition Bondholders of their reasonable
                expectations arising from their investments in the BGS
                Transition Bonds. There is no assurance, however, that, even
                if a court were to award just compensation, it would be

                                      9
<PAGE>

                sufficient to pay the full amount of principal of and interest
                on the BGS Transition Bonds.

                (iii) There is no order by any court providing for the
         revocation, alteration, limitation or other impairment of the
         Competition Act, the Financing Order, any Advice Letter, the
         Transferred BGS Bondable Transition Property or the BGS Transition
         Bond Charge or any rights arising under any of them or to enjoin the
         performance of any obligations under the Financing Order.

                (iv) No other approval, authorization, consent, order or other
         action of, or filing with, any court, federal or State regulatory body,
         administrative agency or other governmental instrumentality is
         required in connection with the creation or transfer of the
         Transferred BGS Bondable Transition Property, except those that have
         been obtained or made.

                (v) Except as disclosed by the Seller to the Issuer in
         writing, there are no proceedings or investigations pending, or to
         the best of the Seller's knowledge, threatened before any court,
         federal or State regulatory body, administrative agency or other
         governmental instrumentality having jurisdiction over the Seller or
         the Issuer or their respective properties challenging the Competition
         Act or the Financing Order.

     (e) Assumptions. The assumptions used in calculating the BGS Transition
Bond Charge in any Advice Letter delivered by the Issuer to the BPU pursuant
to the Financing Order are reasonable and made in good faith.

     (f) Creation of Transferred BGS Bondable Transition Property.

               (i) For purposes of the Competition Act, the New Jersey UCC and
          the Delaware UCC, the Transferred BGS Bondable Transition Property
          constitutes presently existing property;

               (ii) the BGS Bondable Transition Property consists of (A) the
          irrevocable right of the Seller to charge, collect and receive, and
          be paid from collections of, the BGS Transition Bond Charge in the
          amount necessary to provide for the full recovery of the Bondable
          Stranded Costs which have been determined to be recoverable in the
          Financing Order and (B) all rights of the Seller under the Financing
          Order, including, without limitation, all rights to obtain periodic
          adjustments of the BGS Transition Bond Charge pursuant to the
          Competition Act, and (C) all revenues, collections, payments, money
          and proceeds arising under, or with respect to, all of the
          foregoing;

                (iii) the BGS Bondable Transition Property is not subject to
         any lien created by a previous indenture; and

                (iv) the Financing Order, including the right to collect the
         BGS Transition Bond Charge, has become irrevocable.

organizational or governing documents and all laws, treaties, rules,

Seller's performance of its obligations hereunder.

     Section 4.7. Covenants Related to Transferred BGS Bondable Transition
Property.

               (a) So long as any of the BGS Transition Bonds are outstanding,
          the Seller shall:

                    (i) treat the BGS Transition Bonds as debt of the Issuer
               and not of the Seller, except for financial accounting or tax
               reporting purposes;

                    (ii) disclose in its financial statements that it is not
               the owner of the Transferred BGS Bondable Transition Property
               and that the assets of the Issuer are not available to pay
               creditors of the Seller or any of its Affiliates (other than
               the Issuer);

                    (iii) disclose the effects of all transactions between the

               (b) The Seller agrees that upon the sale by the Seller of the
          Transferred BGS Bondable Transition Property to the Issuer pursuant
          to this Agreement:

                    (i) to the fullest extent permitted by law, including the
               Competition Act and applicable BPU Regulations, the Issuer
               shall have all of the rights originally held by the Seller with
               respect to the Transferred BGS Bondable Transition Property,
               including the right to collect any amounts payable by any
               Customer or Third Party in respect of such Transferred BGS
               Bondable Transition Property, notwithstanding any objection or
               direction to the contrary by the Seller; and

                    (ii) any payment by any Customer or Third Party to the
               Issuer shall discharge such Customer's or such Third Party's
               obligations in respect of such Transferred BGS Bondable
               Transition Property to the extent of such payment,
               notwithstanding any objection or direction to the contrary by
               the Seller.

               (c) So long as any of the BGS Transition Bonds are Outstanding,

                                      12
<PAGE>

                    (i) in all proceedings relating directly or indirectly to
               the Transferred BGS Bondable Transition Property the Seller
               shall: (A) affirmatively certify and confirm that it has sold
               the Transferred BGS Bondable Transition Property to the Issuer
               (other than for financial accounting or tax reporting
               purposes), and (B) not make any statement or reference in
               respect of the Transferred BGS Bondable Transition Property
               that is inconsistent with the ownership thereof by the Issuer
               (other than for financial accounting or tax reporting
               purposes); and

                    (ii) the Seller shall not take any action in respect of
               the Transferred BGS Bondable Transition Property except as
               contemplated by the Basic Documents; and

                    (iii) [the Seller shall not sell any BGS Bondable
               Transition Property unless such sale satisfies the Rating
               Agency Condition.]

     Section 4.8. Protection of Title. The Seller shall execute and file such
filings, and cause to be executed and filed such filings, and take all such
actions, all in such manner and in such places as may be required by law fully
to preserve, maintain, protect and perfect the interests of the Issuer and the
Trustee in the Transferred BGS Bondable Transition Property, including all
filings required under the New Jersey UCC and the Delaware UCC relating to the
transfer of the ownership of the Transferred BGS Bondable Transition Property
by the Seller to the Issuer and the pledge of the Transferred BGS Bondable
Transition Property by the Issuer to the Trustee. The Seller shall deliver (or
cause to be delivered) to the Issuer and the Trustee file-stamped copies of,
or filing receipts for, any document filed as provided above, as soon as
available following such filing. The Seller shall institute any action or
proceeding necessary to compel the performance by the BPU or the State of New
Jersey of any of their obligations or duties under the Competition Act or the
Financing Order, and the Seller agrees to take such legal or administrative
actions, including defending against or instituting and pursuing legal actions
and appearing or testifying at hearings or similar proceedings, in each case
as may be reasonably necessary:

          (a) to protect the Issuer and the BGS Transition Bondholders from
claims, State actions or other actions or proceedings of third parties which,
if successfully pursued, would result in a breach of any representation set
forth in Article III; or

          (b) to block or overturn any attempts to cause a repeal of,
     modification of or supplement to the Competition Act, the Financing
     Order, any Advice Letter, or the rights of BGS Transition Bondholders by
     legislative enactment or constitutional amendment that would be adverse
     to the Issuer, the Trustee or the BGS Transition Bondholders.

         The costs of any such actions or proceedings shall be reimbursed by
the Issuer to the Seller from amounts on deposit in the Collection Account as
an Operating Expense. The Seller's obligations pursuant to this Section 4.8
shall survive and continue notwithstanding that the payment of Operating
Expenses pursuant to the Indenture may be delayed (it being understood that
the Seller may be required to advance its own funds to satisfy its obligation
hereunder). The Seller irrevocably, and as a power coupled with an interest,
designates the Issuer as its agent and attorney-in-fact to execute any filings
of financing statements, continuation statements or other

                                      13
<PAGE>

instruments required of the Issuer pursuant to this Section, it being
understood that the Issuer shall have no obligation to execute any such
instruments.

     Section 4.9. Taxes. So long as any of the BGS Transition Bonds are
outstanding, the Seller shall, and shall cause each of its subsidiaries to,
pay all material taxes, assessments and governmental charges 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, after any
applicable grace periods, notices or other similar requirements, result in a
Lien on the Transferred BGS Bondable Transition Property; provided that no
such tax need be paid if the Seller or one of its Affiliates is contesting the
same in good faith by appropriate proceedings promptly instituted and
diligently conducted and if the Seller or such Affiliate has established
appropriate reserves as shall be required in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.

taxes imposed on BGS Transition Bondholders solely as a result of their
ownership of BGS Transition Bonds) that may at any time be imposed on or
asserted against any such Person under existing law as of any Transfer Date as
a result of the sale and assignment of the Transferred BGS Bondable Transition
Property by the Seller to the Issuer, the acquisition or holding of the
Transferred BGS Bondable Transition Property by the Issuer or the issuance and
sale by the Issuer of the BGS Transition Bonds, including any sales, gross
receipts, general corporation, personal property, privilege, franchise or
license taxes, but excluding any taxes imposed as a result of a failure of
such person to properly withhold or remit taxes imposed with respect to
payments on any BGS Transition Bond, it being understood that the BGS
Transition Bondholders shall be entitled to enforce their rights against the
Seller under this Section 5.1(b) solely through a cause of action brought for
their benefit by the Trustee.

     (c) The Seller shall indemnify the Issuer and the Trustee, for itself and
on behalf of the BGS Transition Bondholders, and each of their respective
officers, directors, managers, employees and agents for, and defend and hold
harmless each such Person from and against, any and all amounts of principal
of and interest on the BGS Transition Bonds not paid when due or when

Bonds, together with any reasonable costs and expenses incurred by such
Person, as a result of the Seller's breach of any of its representations,
warranties or covenants contained in this Agreement.

any part of the Issuer's property or assets based on existing law as of the
Transfer Date.

     (e) Indemnification under this Section 5.1 shall survive the resignation
or removal of the Trustee and the termination of this Agreement and shall
include reasonable fees and expenses of investigation and litigation
(including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses). The Seller shall not
indemnify any party under this Section 5.1 for any changes in law after the
Transfer Date.

     (f) The indemnification obligation of the Seller under this Section 5.1

     Persons and which succeeds to all or any material part of the electric
     distribution business of the Seller,

          (c) which may result from any merger or consolidation to which the

          representation or warranty made pursuant to Article III shall have

          notice or lapse of time, or both, would become a Servicer Default,
          shall have occurred and be continuing,

               (ii) the Seller shall have delivered to the Issuer and the
          Trustee an Officers' Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel each
          stating that such consolidation, merger or succession and such
          agreement of assumption comply with this Section 5.2 and that all
          conditions precedent, if any, provided for in this Agreement
          relating to such transaction have been complied with,

               (iii) the Seller shall have delivered to the Issuer and the

               and protect fully the respective interests of the Issuer and
               the Trustee in the Transferred BGS Bondable Transition Property
               have been executed and filed, and reciting the details of such

          the effect that, for federal income tax purposes, such consolidation
          or merger will not result in a material adverse federal income tax
          consequence to the Seller, the Issuer, the Trustee or the holders of
          the Outstanding BGS Transition Bonds.

The Seller shall not consummate any transaction referred to in clauses (a),

other conditions of this Section 5.2, the Seller shall automatically and
without further notice be released from its obligations hereunder.

     Section 5.3. Limitation on Liability of the Seller and Others. The Seller
and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Seller may rely in good
faith on the advice of counsel

                                      16
<PAGE>

or on any document of any kind, prima facie properly executed and submitted by
any Person, respecting any matters arising hereunder. Subject to Section 4.8,

any legal action that is not incidental to its obligations under this
Agreement, and that in its opinion may involve it in any expense or liability.
