2. Other Definitional Provisions.
CONVEYANCE OF TRANSITION PROPERTY

Conveyance of Original Transition Property. In consideration of the Issuer-s delivery to or upon the order of the Seller of $323,784,812, subject to the conditions specified in Section 2.03, the Seller does hereby irrevocably sell, transfer, assign, set over and otherwise convey to the Issuer, without recourse or warranty, except as set forth herein, all right, title and interest of the Seller in and to the Original Transition Property (such sale, transfer, assignment, setting over and conveyance of the Original Transition Property includes, to the fullest extent permitted by the Securitization Law, the right to impose, collect and receive Transition Charges and the assignment of all revenues, collections, claims, rights, payments, money or proceeds of or arising from the Transition Charges related to the Original Transition Property, as the same may be adjusted from time to time). Such sale, transfer, assignment, setting over and conveyance is hereby expressly stated to be a sale and, pursuant to Section 39.308 of the Securitization Law, shall be treated as an absolute transfer of all of the Seller-s right, title and interest in and to (as in a true sale), and not as a pledge or other financing of, the Original Transition Property. The Seller and the Issuer agree that after giving effect to the sale, transfer, assignment, setting over and conveyance contemplated hereby the Seller has no right, title or interest in or to the Original Transition Property to which a security interest could attach because (i) it has sold, transferred, assigned, set over and conveyed all right, title and interest in and to the Original Transition Property to the Issuer, (ii) as provided in Section 39.304 of the Securitization Law, such rights are only contract rights until the time of such sale, transfer, assignment, setting over and conveyance and (iii) as provided in Section 39.309(c) of the Securitization Law, appropriate notice has been filed and such transfer is perfected against all third parties, including subsequent judicial or other lien creditors. If such sale, transfer, assignment, setting over and conveyance is held by any court of competent jurisdiction not to be a true sale as provided in Section 39.308 of the Securitization Law, then such sale, transfer, assignment, setting over and conveyance shall be treated as a pledge of such Original Transition Property and as the creation of a security interest (within the meaning of the Securitization Law and the UCC) in the Original Transition Property and, without prejudice to its position that it has absolutely transferred all of its rights in the Original Transition Property to the Issuer, the Seller hereby grants a security interest in the Original Transition Property to the Issuer (and, to the extent necessary to qualify the grant as a security interest under the Securitization Law and the UCC, to the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Secured Parties to secure the right of the Issuer under the Basic Documents to receive the Transition Charges and all other Transition Property).

Subject to Section 2.03, the Issuer does hereby purchase the Original Transition Property from the Seller for the consideration set forth in Section 2.01(a).

Conveyance of Subsequent Transition Property. The Seller may from time to time offer to sell, transfer, assign, set over and convey Subsequent Transition Property to the Issuer, subject to the conditions specified in Section 2.03.

The terms of the Xxxx of Sale with respect to such Subsequent Transition Property shall be binding as if set forth herein.

as of such Transfer Date, (A) the Issuer shall have sufficient funds available to pay the purchase price for the Transferred Transition Property to be conveyed on such date and (B) all conditions to the issuance of one or more Series of Transition Bonds intended to provide such funds set forth in the Indenture shall have been satisfied or waived;
on or prior to such Transfer Date, the Seller shall have taken all action required to transfer to the Issuer ownership of the Transition Property to be conveyed on such date, free and clear of all Liens other than Liens created by the Issuer pursuant to the Basic Documents and to perfect such transfer, including, without limitation, filing any statements or filings under the Securitization Law or the UCC; and the Issuer or the Servicer, on behalf of the Issuer, shall have taken all actions required for the Issuer to grant the Indenture Trustee a first priority perfected security interest in the Transition Bond Collateral and maintain such security interest as of such date;

the Seller shall have delivered to the Rating Agencies and the Issuer any Opinions of Counsel required by the Rating Agencies;
the Seller shall have received and delivered to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee: (i) an opinion of Independent tax counsel (as selected by the Seller, and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee) to the effect that the Issuer will not be subject to United States federal income tax as an entity separate from its sole owner and that the Transition Bonds will be treated as debt of the Issuer-s sole owner for United States federal income tax purposes, (ii) an opinion of Independent tax counsel (as selected by the Seller, and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee) to the effect that, for United States federal income tax purposes, the issuance of the Transition Bonds will not result in gross income to the Seller and (iii) in the case of a subsequent issuance of Transition Bonds only, an opinion of Independent tax counsel (as selected by the Seller, and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee) to the effect that such issuance will not adversely affect the characterization of any then outstanding Transition Bonds as obligations of the Issuer-s sole owner;
on and as of such Transfer Date, each of the LLC Agreement, the Servicing Agreement, this Agreement, the Indenture, any issued Financing Order, any issued Tariff and the Securitization Law shall be in full force and effect;
the Rating Agency Condition shall have been satisfied with respect to such purchase; and
the Seller shall have delivered to the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer an Officer-s Certificate confirming the satisfaction of each condition precedent specified in this Section 2.03.

No Violation. The consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the fulfillment of the terms hereof do not and will not: (i) conflict with or result in any breach of any of the terms and provisions of, nor constitute (with or without notice or lapse of time) a default under, the Seller-s organizational documents, or any indenture or other agreement or instrument to which the Seller is a party or by which it or any of its property is bound; (ii) result in the creation or imposition of any Lien upon any of the Seller-s properties pursuant to the terms of any such indenture, agreement or other instrument (other than any Lien that may be granted in the Issuer-s favor or any Lien created pursuant to Section 39.309 of the Securitization Law); or (iii) violate any existing law or any existing order, rule or regulation applicable to the Seller of any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Seller or its properties.

The Transferred Transition Property.

Information. Subject to subsection (f) below, at each Transfer Date, all written information, as amended or supplemented from time to time, provided by the Seller to the Issuer with respect to the Transferred Transition Property (including the Expected Amortization Schedule, the Financing Order and the Issuance Advice Letter relating thereto) is true and correct in all material respects.

Title. It is the intention of the parties hereto that (other than for federal income tax purposes and, to the extent consistent with applicable state tax law, state income and franchise tax purposes) the transfers and assignments herein contemplated each constitute a sale and absolute transfer of the Transferred Transition Property from the Seller to the Issuer and that no interest in, or right or title to, the Transferred Transition Property shall be part of the Seller-s estate in the event of the filing of a bankruptcy petition by or against the Seller under any bankruptcy law. No portion of the Transferred Transition Property has been sold, transferred, assigned or pledged or otherwise conveyed by the Seller to any Person other than the Issuer, and no security agreement, financing statement or equivalent security or lien instrument listing the Seller as debtor covering all or any part of the Transferred Transition Property is on file or of record in any jurisdiction, except such as may have been filed, recorded or made in favor of the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee in connection with the Basic Documents. The Seller has not authorized the filing of and is not aware (after due inquiry) of any financing statement against it that includes a description of collateral including the Transferred Transition Property other than any financing statement filed, recorded or made in favor of the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee in connection with the Basic Documents. The Seller is not aware (after due inquiry) of any judgment or tax lien filings against either the Seller or the Issuer. At each applicable Transfer Date, immediately prior to the sale of such Transferred Transition Property hereunder, the Seller is the original and the sole owner of such Transferred Transition Property free and clear of all Liens and rights of any other Person, and no offsets, defenses or counterclaims exist or have been asserted with respect thereto.

Transfer Filings. On such Transfer Date, immediately upon the sale hereunder, the Transferred Transition Property shall be validly transferred and sold to the Issuer, the Issuer shall own all such Transferred Transition Property free and clear of all Liens (except for any Lien created in favor of the Holders pursuant to Section 39.309 of the Securitization Law or any Lien that may be granted under the Basic Documents) and all filings and action to be made or taken by the Seller (including, without limitation, filings with the Secretary of State of the State of Texas under the Securitization Law) necessary in any jurisdiction to give the Issuer a perfected ownership interest (subject to any Lien created in favor of the Holders pursuant to Section 39.309 of the Securitization Law and any Lien that may be granted under the Basic Documents) in the Transferred Transition Property have been made or taken. No further action is required to maintain such ownership interest (subject to any Lien created in favor of the Holders pursuant to Section 39.309 of the Securitization Law and any Lien that may be granted under the Basic Documents) and to give the Indenture Trustee a first priority perfected security interest in the Transferred Transition Property. All filings and action have also been made or taken to perfect the security interest in the Transferred Transition Property granted by the Seller to the Issuer (subject to any Lien created in favor of the Holders pursuant to Section 39.309 of the Securitization Law and any Lien that may be granted under the Basic Documents) and, to the extent necessary the Indenture Trustee, pursuant to Section 2.01, in the case of the Original Transition Property, or Section 2.02, in the case of Subsequent Transition Property.

Financing Order, Issuance Advice Letter and Tariff; Other Approvals. On each Transfer Date, under the laws of the State of Texas and the United States in effect on such Transfer Date, (i) the Financing Order pursuant to which the rights and interests of the Seller, including the right to impose, collect and receive the Transition Charge and, in and to the Transition Property transferred on such date have been created, is Final and non-appealable and is in full force and effect; (ii) as of the issuance of the Transition Bonds, the Transition Bonds are entitled to the protection of the Securitization Law and, accordingly, the Financing Order, the Transition Charges and the Issuance Advice Letter are not revocable by the PUCT; (iii) as of the issuance of the Transition Bonds, the Tariff is in full force and effect and is not subject to modification by the PUCT except as provided under Section 39.307 of the Securitization Law; (iv) the process by which the Financing Order creating the Transition Property transferred on such date was adopted and approved, and such Financing Order, Issuance Advice Letter and Tariff themselves, comply with all applicable laws, rules and regulations; (v) the Issuance Advice Letter and the Tariff relating to the Transition Property transferred on such date have been filed in accordance with the Financing Order creating the Transition Property transferred on such date and an officer of the Seller has provided the certification to the PUCT required by the Issuance Advice Letter; and (vi) no other approval, authorization, consent, order or other action of, or filing with any Governmental Authority is required in connection with the creation of the Transition Property transferred on such date, except those that have been obtained or made.

State Action. Under the Securitization Law, the State of Texas has pledged that it will not take or permit any action that would impair the value of the Transition Property transferred on such date, or, except as permitted by Section 39.307 of the Securitization Law, reduce, alter or impair the Transition Charges relating to such Transition Property until the principal, interest and premium and any other charges incurred and contracts to be performed in connection with the Transition Bonds of such Series relating to such Transition Property have been paid and performed in full. Under the laws of the State of Texas and the United States, the State of Texas could not constitutionally take any action of a legislative character including the repeal or amendment of the Securitization Law, which would substantially limit, alter or impair the Transition Property or other rights vested in the Holders pursuant to the Financing Order or substantially limit, alter or reduce the value or amount of the Transition Property, unless such action is a reasonable exercise of the sovereign powers of the State of Texas and of a character reasonable and appropriate to further a legitimate public purpose, and, under the takings clauses of the United States and Texas Constitutions, the State of Texas could not repeal or amend the Securitization Law or take any other action in contravention of its pledge quoted above without paying just compensation to the Holders, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction if doing so would constitute a permanent appropriation of a substantial property interest of the Holders in the Transition Property and deprive the Holders of their reasonable expectations arising from their investments in the Transition Bonds. There is no assurance, however, that, even if a court were to award just compensation it would be sufficient to pay the full amount of principal and interest on the Transition Bonds.

Assumptions. On each Transfer Date, based upon the information available to the Seller on such date, the assumptions used in calculating the Transition Charges are reasonable and are made in good faith. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Seller makes no representation or warranty, express or implied, that amounts actually collected arising from those Transition Charges will in fact be sufficient to meet the payment obligations on the related Transition Bonds or that the assumptions used in calculating such Transition Charges will in fact be realized.

Creation of Transition Property. Upon the effectiveness of the Financing Order, the Issuance Advice Letter and the Tariff with respect to the Transferred Transition Property and the transfer of such Transition Property pursuant to this Agreement: (i) the rights and interests of the Seller under the Financing Order, including the right to impose, collect and receive the Transition Charges authorized in the Financing Order, become Transition Property; (ii) the Transferred Transition Property constitutes a present property right vested in the Issuer; (iii) the Transferred Transition Property includes (A) the right, title and interest of the Seller in the Financing Order and the Transition Charges and (B) the right to impose, collect and obtain periodic adjustments (with respect to adjustments, in the manner and with the effect provided in Section 4.01(b) of the Servicing Agreement) of such Transition Charges, and the rates and other charges authorized by the Financing Order and all revenues, collections, claims, payments, money or proceeds of or arising from the Transition Charges; (iv) the owner of the Transferred Transition Property is legally entitled to xxxx Transition Charges and collect payments in respect of the Transition Charges in the aggregate sufficient to pay the interest on and principal of the Transition Bonds of such Series in accordance with the Indenture, to pay the fees and expenses of servicing the Transition Bonds of such Series, to replenish the Capital Subaccount to the Required Capital Level until the Transition Bonds of such Series are paid in full or until the last date permitted for the collection of payments in respect of the Transition Charge under the Financing Order, whichever is earlier, and the Customer class allocation percentages in the Financing Order do not prohibit the owner of the Transferred Transition Property from obtaining adjustments and effecting allocations to the Transition Charges in order to collect payments of such amounts; and (v) the Transferred Transition Property is not subject to any Lien other than the lien created by the Basic Documents.

Nature of Representations and Warranties. The representations and warranties set forth in this Section 3.08, insofar as they involve conclusions of law, are made not on the basis that the Seller purports to be a legal expert or to be rendering legal advice, but rather to reflect the parties- good faith understanding of the legal basis on which the parties are entering into this Agreement and the other Basic Documents and the basis on which the Holders are purchasing the Transition Bonds, and to reflect the parties- agreement that, if such understanding turns out to be incorrect or inaccurate, the Seller will be obligated to indemnify the Issuer and its permitted assigns (to the extent required by and in accordance with Section 5.01), and that the Issuer and its permitted assigns will be entitled to enforce any rights and remedies under the Basic Documents, on account of such inaccuracy to the same extent as if the Seller had breached any other representations or warranties hereunder.

Prospectus. As of the date hereof, the information describing the Seller under the caption "The Seller, Initial Servicer and Sponsor" in the prospectus dated June 22, 2007 relating to the Transition Bonds is true and correct in all material respects.
Solvency. After giving effect to the sale of the Transition Property hereunder, the Seller:

is solvent and expects to remain solvent;
is adequately capitalized to conduct its business and affairs considering its size and the nature of its business and intended purpose;
is not engaged in nor does it expect to engage in a business for which its remaining property represents an unreasonably small capital;
reasonably believes that it will be able to pay its debts as they come due; and
is able to pay its debts as they mature and does not intend to incur, or believes that it will not incur, indebtedness that it will not be able to repay at its maturity.

No Court Order. There is no order by any court providing for the revocation, alteration, limitation or other impairment of the Securitization Law, the Financing Order, the Issuance Advice Letter, the Transferred Transition Property or the Transition Charges or any rights arising under any of them or that seeks to enjoin the performance of any obligations under the Financing Xxxxx.

Xx Proceedings Concerning the Securitization Law. Except as disclosed in the Prospectus, there are no proceedings pending, and to the Seller-s knowledge, (i) there are no proceedings threatened and (ii) there are no investigations pending or threatened, before any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Issuer or the Seller or their respective properties challenging the Securitization Law or the Financing Order.

Survival of Representations and Warranties The representations and warranties set forth in this Section 3.08 shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement, shall be deemed re-made on each Transfer Date and may not be waived by any party hereto except pursuant to a written agreement executed in accordance with Article VI and as to which the Rating Agency Condition has been satisfied.

Limitations on Representations and Warranties. Without prejudice to any of the other rights of the parties, the Seller will not be in breach of any representation or warranty, as a result of a change in law by means of any legislative enactment, constitutional amendment or voter initiative. THE SELLER MAKES NO REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, THAT BILLED TRANSITION CHARGES WILL BE ACTUALLY COLLECTED FROM CUSTOMERS.

THE SELLER

Liability of Seller; Indemnities.

The Seller shall be liable in accordance herewith only to the extent of the obligations specifically undertaken by the Seller under this Agreement.
The Seller shall indemnify the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) and each of their respective officers, directors, employees, trustees, managers and agents for, and defend and hold harmless each such Person from and against, any and all taxes (other than taxes imposed on Bondholders as a result of their ownership of a Transition Bond) that may at any time be imposed on or asserted against any such Person as a result of the sale of the Transferred Transition Property to the Issuer, including any franchise, sales, gross receipts, general corporation, tangible personal property, privilege or license taxes but excluding any taxes imposed as a result of a failure of such Person to withhold or remit taxes with respect to payments on any Transition Bond.
The Seller shall indemnify the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) and each of their respective officers, directors, employees, trustees, managers, and agents for, and defend and hold harmless each such Person from and against, any and all taxes (other than taxes imposed on Bondholders as a result of their ownership of a Transition Bond) that may at any time be imposed on or asserted against any such Person as a result of the Issuer-s ownership and assignment of the Transferred Transition Property, the issuance and sale by the Issuer of the Transition Bonds or the other transactions contemplated in the Basic Documents, including any franchise, sales, gross receipts, general corporation, tangible personal property, privilege or license taxes but excluding any taxes imposed as a result of a failure of such Person to withhold or remit taxes with respect to payments on any Transition Bond.
The Seller shall indemnify the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee (for the benefit of the Secured Parties) and each of their respective officers, directors, employees and agents for, and defend and hold harmless each such Person from and against all Losses that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against each such Person, in each such case, as a result of the Seller-s breach of any of its representations, warranties or covenants contained in this Agreement.
Indemnification under Sections 5.01(b), 5.01(c), 5.01(d) and 5.01(f) shall include reasonable out-of-pocket fees and expenses of investigation and litigation (including reasonable attorney-s fees and expenses), except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement.
The Seller shall indemnify the Indenture Trustee (for itself) and the Independent Managers, and any of their respective affiliates, officers, directors, employees and agents (each, an "Indemnified Person") for, and defend and hold harmless each such Person from and against, any and all Losses incurred by any of such Indemnified Persons as a result of the Seller-s breach of any of its representations and warranties or covenants contained in this Agreement, except to the extent of Losses either resulting from the willful misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence of such Indemnified Person or resulting from a breach of a representation or warranty made by such Indemnified Person in any of the Basic Documents that gives rise to the Seller-s breach. The Seller shall not be required to indemnify an Indemnified Person for any amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Person in the settlement of any action, proceeding or investigation without the prior written consent of the Seller which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Person of notice of the commencement of any action, proceeding or investigation, such Indemnified Person shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the Seller under this Section 5.01(f), notify the Seller in writing of the commencement thereof. Failure by an Indemnified Person to so notify the Seller shall relieve the Seller from the obligation to indemnify and hold harmless such Indemnified Person under this Section 5.01(f) only to the extent that the Seller suffers actual prejudice as a result of such failure. With respect to any action, proceeding or investigation brought by a third party for which indemnification may be sought under this Section 5.01(f), the Seller shall be entitled to conduct and control, at its expense and with counsel of its choosing that is reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Person, the defense of any such action, proceeding or investigation (in which case the Seller shall not thereafter be responsible for the fees and expenses of any separate counsel retained by the Indemnified Person except as set forth below); provided that the Indemnified Person shall have the right to participate in such action, proceeding or investigation through counsel chosen by it and at its own expense. Notwithstanding the Seller-s election to assume the defense of any action, proceeding or investigation, the Indemnified Person shall have the right to employ separate counsel (including local counsel), and the Seller shall bear the reasonable fees, costs and expenses of such separate counsel if (i) the defendants in any such action include both the Indemnified Person and the Seller and the Indemnified Person shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it that are different from or additional to those available to the Seller, (ii) the Seller shall not have employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person to represent the Indemnified Person within a reasonable time after notice of the institution of such action, (iii) the Seller shall authorize the Indemnified Person to employ separate counsel at the expense of the Seller or (iv) in the case of the Indenture Trustee, such action exposes the Indenture Trustee to a material risk of criminal liability or forfeiture or a Servicer Default has occurred and is continuing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Seller shall not be obligated to pay for the fees, costs and expenses of more than one separate counsel for the Indemnified Persons other than one local counsel, if appropriate.
The Seller shall indemnify the Servicer (if the Servicer is not the Seller) for the costs of any action instituted by the Servicer pursuant to Section 5.02(d) of the Servicing Agreement which are not paid as Operating Expenses in accordance with the priorities set forth in Section 8.02(e) of the Indenture.
The remedies provided in this Agreement are the sole and exclusive remedies against the Seller for breach of its representations and warranties in this Agreement.
Indemnification under this Section 5.01 shall survive any repeal of, modification of, or supplement to, or judicial invalidation of, the Securitization Law or any Financing Order and shall survive the resignation or removal of the Indenture Trustee or the termination of this Agreement and will rank in priority with other general, unsecured obligations of the Seller.

Merger, Conversion or Consolidation of, or Assumption of the Obligations of, Seller. Any Person (a) into which the Seller may be merged, converted or consolidated, (b) that may result from any reorganization, merger (including, but not limited to, merger as defined in Art. 1.02.A.(18) of the Texas Business Corporation Act or in Section 1.002(55) of the Texas Business Organizations Code, as applicable to the Seller, as amended from time to time (including, without limitation, any merger commonly referred to as a "merger by division")), conversion or consolidation to which the Seller shall be a party, or (c) that may acquire or succeed to (whether by merger, division, conversion, consolidation, reorganization, sale, transfer, lease, management contract or otherwise) 1) the properties and assets of the Seller substantially as a whole, 2) the properties and assets of the Seller located within the State of Texas substantially as a whole, 3) all or substantially all of the electric transmission and distribution business of the Seller which is required to provide electric service to the Seller-s customers in the Service Area (or, if transmission and distribution are not provided by a single entity, the distribution business of the Seller required to provide electric service to the Seller-s Customers in the Service Area), or 4) the distribution system business assets of the Seller in a portion of the Service Area, and which Person in any of the foregoing cases executes an agreement of assumption to perform all of the obligations of the Seller hereunder (including the Seller-s obligations under Section 5.01 incurred at any time prior to or after the date of such assumption), shall be a successor to the Seller under this Agreement (a "Permitted Successor") without further act on the part of any of the parties to this Agreement; provided, however, that

immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no representation, warranty or covenant made pursuant to Article III or Article IV shall be breached and no Servicer Default, and no event which, after notice or lapse of time, or both, would become a Servicer Default shall have occurred and be continuing,
the Seller shall have delivered to the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and each Rating Agency an Officer-s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel from Independent counsel stating that such consolidation, conversion, merger, division, reorganization, sale, transfer, lease, management contract transaction, acquisition or other succession and such agreement of assumption comply with this Section 5.02 and that all conditions precedent, if any, provided for in this Agreement relating to such transaction have been complied with,
the Seller shall have delivered to the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and each Rating Agency an Opinion of Counsel from Independent counsel of the Seller either (A) stating that, in the opinion of such counsel, all filings to be made by the Seller and the Issuer, including filings with the PUCT pursuant to the Securitization Law, have been authorized, executed and filed that are necessary to fully preserve and protect the respective interests of the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee in all of the Transferred Transition Property and reciting the details of such filings, or (B) stating that, in the opinion of such counsel, no such action shall be necessary to preserve and protect such interests,
the Seller shall have delivered to the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the Rating Agencies and the PUCT an Opinion of Counsel from Independent tax counsel stating that, for federal income tax purposes, notwithstanding such consolidation, conversion, merger, division, reorganization, sale, transfer, lease, management contract transaction, acquisition or other succession and such agreement of assumption, (a) the Issuer will not be subject to tax as an entity separate from its sole owner, (b) the Transition Bonds will be treated as debt of the Issuer-s sole owner, and (c) the Transition Bonds will not be treated as transferred in a taxable exchange; and
the Seller shall have given the Rating Agencies prior written notice of such transaction, or, in the case of clause (c)(4) above, the Rating Agency Condition shall be satisfied.

When the conditions set forth in this Section 5.02 have been satisfied, the preceding Seller shall automatically and without further notice (except as provided in clause (v) above) be released from all of its obligations hereunder.

When any Person (or more than one Person) acquires the properties and assets of the Seller substantially as a whole or otherwise becomes the successor, whether by merger, conversion, consolidation, sale, transfer, lease, management contract or otherwise, to all or substantially all of the electric transmission and distribution business of the Seller (or, if transmission and distribution are not provided by a single entity, provides distribution service directly to Customers taking service at facilities, premises or loads located in the Service Area in accordance with the terms of this Section 5.02), then upon satisfaction of all of the other conditions of this Section 5.02, the preceding Seller shall automatically and without further notice be released from all of its obligations hereunder.

Limitation on Liability of 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 or on any document of any kind, prima facie properly executed and submitted by any Person, respecting any matters arising hereunder. Subject to Section 4.07, the Seller shall not be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend 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.

Waivers.

Any such waiver shall be validly and sufficiently authorized for the purposes of this Agreement if, as to any party, it is authorized in writing by an authorized representative of such party. The failure of any party hereto to enforce at any time any provision of this Agreement shall not be construed to be a waiver of such provision, nor in any way to affect the validity of this Agreement or any part hereof or the right of any party thereafter to enforce each and every such provision. No waiver of any breach of this Agreement shall be held to constitute a waiver of any other or subsequent breach.

FORM OF XXXX OF SALE

This Xxxx of Sale is being delivered pursuant to the Transition Property Purchase and Sale Agreement, dated as of __________, 2007 (the "Sale Agreement"), by and between Entergy Gulf States, Inc. (the "Seller") and Entergy Gulf States Reconstruction Funding I, LLC (the "Issuer"). All capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings ascribed to such terms in the Sale Agreement.

In consideration of the Issuer-s delivery to or upon the order of the Seller of $[______], the Seller does hereby irrevocably sell, transfer, assign, set over and otherwise convey to the Issuer, without recourse or warranty, except as set forth in the Sale Agreement, all right, title and interest of the Seller in and to the [Original][Subsequent] Transition Property identified on Schedule 1 hereto (such sale, transfer, assignment, setting over and conveyance of the [Original][Subsequent] Transition Property includes, to the fullest extent permitted by the Securitization Law, the right to impose, collect and receive Transition Charges and the assignment of all revenues, collections, claims, rights, payments, money or proceeds of or arising from the Transition Charges related to the [Original][Subsequent] Transition Property, as the same may be adjusted from time to time). Such sale, transfer, assignment, setting over and conveyance is hereby expressly stated to be a sale and, pursuant to Section 39.308 of the Securitization Law and other applicable law, shall be treated as an absolute transfer of all of the Seller-s right, title and interest in and to (as in a true sale), and not as a pledge or other financing of, the [Original][Subsequent] Transition Property. The Seller and the Issuer agree that after giving effect to the sale, transfer, assignment, setting over and conveyance contemplated hereby the Seller has no right, title or interest in or to the [Original][Subsequent] Transition Property to which a security interest could attach because (i) it has sold, transferred, assigned, set over and conveyed all right in and to the [Original][Subsequent] Transition Property to the Issuer, (ii) as provided in Section 39.304 of the Securitization Law, such rights are only contract rights until the time of such sale, transfer, assignment, setting over and conveyance and (iii) as provided in Section 39.309(c) of the Securitization Law, appropriate notice has been filed and such transfer is perfected against all third parties, including subsequent judicial or other lien creditors. If such sale, transfer, assignment, setting over and conveyance is held by any court of competent jurisdiction not to be a true sale as provided in Section 39.308 of the Securitization Law, then such sale, transfer, assignment, setting over and conveyance shall be treated as a pledge of such [Original][Subsequent] Transition Property and as the creation of a security interest (within the meaning of the Securitization Law and the UCC) in the [Original][Subsequent] Transition Property and, without prejudice to its position that it has absolutely transferred all of its rights in the [Original][Subsequent] Transition Property to the Issuer, the Seller hereby grants a security interest in the [Original][Subsequent] Transition Property to the Issuer (and, to the extent necessary to qualify the grant as a security interest under the Securitization Law and the UCC, to the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Secured Parties to secure the right of the Issuer under the Basic Documents to receive the Transition Charges and all other [Original][Subsequent] Transition Property).

The Issuer does hereby purchase the [Original] [Subsequent] Transition Property from the Seller for the consideration set forth in the preceding paragraph.

The Seller and the Issuer each acknowledge and agree that the purchase price for the [Original] [Subsequent] Transition Property sold pursuant to this Xxxx of Sale and the Sale Agreement is equal to its fair market value at the time of sale.

The Seller confirms that (i) each of the representations and warranties on the part of the Seller contained in the Sale Agreement are true and correct in all respects on the date hereof as if made on the date hereof and (ii) each condition precedent that must be satisfied under Section 2.03 of the Sale Agreement has been satisfied upon or prior to the execution and delivery of this Xxxx of Sale by the Seller.¹

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

THIS XXXX OF SALE SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF TEXAS, WITHOUT REFERENCE TO ITS CONFLICT OF LAW PROVISIONS, AND THE OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS AND REMEDIES OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH LAW.

________________________________
1. If any representations or warranties require modification with respect to Subsequent Transition Property as a result of provisions in the Financing Order, then such modifications should be set forth in this Xxxx of Sale (it being understood that any such modifications must be agreed to by the parties and approved by the Rating Agencies prior to the time additional Transition Bonds are issued).

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Seller and the Issuer have duly executed this Xxxx of Sale as of the ___ day of ___________, ______.
