SUMMARY OF TERMS
TRANSACTION OVERVIEW
Oncor Electric Delivery Company ("Oncor") has established a
bankruptcy-remote special purpose subsidiary company that will issue taxable
debt securities secured by the right to receive revenues arising from transition
charges from all retail electric customers in Oncor's service territory. This is
in accordance with a financing order issued by the Public Utility Commission of
Texas ("PUCT") on August 5, 2002 (the "Financing Order"), which became final and
non-appealable on January 30, 2003. This transaction is part of the Texas
Electric Utility Restructuring Act, which implemented competitive electric
generation and retail markets in the State of Texas, and authorized Texas
electric utilities to finance their generation-related regulatory assets and
certain qualified costs. The proceeds of the Bonds will be paid to the parent
company, Oncor, and will be used by Oncor to repurchase or retire its debt or
equity.

WEIGHTED AVERAGE LIFE SENSITIVITY
The following table highlights the sensitivity of the weighted average lives of
the various Bond classes to energy consumption levels (retail electric sales)
below forecasted levels. There can be no assurance that the weighted average
lives of the various classes of the Bonds will be as shown below.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EXPECTED AVERAGE LIVES (YRS.) ASSUMING UNIFORM ANNUAL DECLINE FROM
CLASS WEIGHTED FORECASTED ENERGY CONSUMPTION
AVG. LIFE [-5%] [CHANGE] [-15%] [CHANGE]
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[A-1] [2.00] [2.00] [0.00] [2.11] [+0.11]
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[A-2] [5.00] [5.00] [0.00] [5.10] [+0.10]
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[A-3] [8.00] [8.00] [0.00] [8.08] [+0.08]
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[A-4] [10.83] [10.83] [0.00] [10.88] [+0.05]
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
THIS MEANS UNDER THIS EXAMPLE, IF RETAIL ELECTRIC SALES ARE 15% LESS THAN THE
FORECASTED ENERGY CONSUMPTION EACH YEAR, THE [10.83]-YEAR WEIGHTED AVERAGE LIFE
OF THE A-4 CLASS WOULD BECOME [10.88] YEARS. PLEASE NOTE THAT OVER THE LAST TEN
YEARS, ONCOR'S ANNUAL FORECAST ERROR HAS NOT EXCEEDED 6%, AND ITS TEN-YEAR
AVERAGE FORECAST ERROR IS LESS THAN 1% (0.77%).
For the purposes of preparing the table above, in addition to those assumptions
in deriving the Scheduled Amortization, the following assumptions, among other
things, have been made:
o The forecast error stays constant over the life of the Bonds and is equal
to 5% or 15% as stated in the table above. The servicer will true-up
transition charges ("TCs" or "Transition Charges") so as to ensure the
billing of TCs necessary to generate the collection of amounts sufficient
to (a) pay ongoing fees and expenses (b) timely provide for all scheduled
payments of principal and interest, (c) fund the capital and
overcollateralization subaccounts to their required levels, and (d) return,
if necessary, the reserve subaccount to a zero balance by the related
payment date;
o Periodic annual standard true-ups on a transaction year basis;
o Interim true-ups have been modeled to be implemented only after a 5%
variance from the expected amortization schedule (taking into account
amounts in the reserve subaccount) has occurred;
o No non-standard true-ups have been modeled; and
o No optional redemption has been exercised.
The information herein has been prepared solely for informational purposes and
is not an offer to buy or sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy or sell any
security or instrument or to participate in any trading strategy. No
representation or warranty can be given with respect to the accuracy or
completeness of the information herein, or that any future offer of securities,

Notes:
(1) "Residential" grouping corresponds to the residential service regulatory
asset recovery class, "Commercial" grouping corresponds to the general
service secondary regulatory asset recovery class, "Industrial" grouping
corresponds to the general service primary, high voltage service,
instantaneous interruptible and noticed interruptible regulatory asset
recovery classes, and "Other" corresponds to the lighting service regulatory
asset recovery class.
(2) Due to the Texas Electric Utility Restructuring Act, Oncor was required to
change its method of accounting for some customers. Prior to January 1,
2002, some points of delivery were combined into a single point of delivery
and accounted for as a single customer. Oncor is now required to account for
those points of delivery separately and can no longer combine them into one
point of delivery.
(3) Actual usage fluctuations are highly dependent on weather and economic
conditions. See "THE SERVICER OF THE TRANSITION PROPERTY -- How Oncor
Forecasts the Number of Customers and the Amount of Electricity Usage" in
the prospectus. There can be no assurance that future usage rates will be
similar to historical experience. See "RISK FACTORS -- Servicing Risks" in
the prospectus.
(4) The data for the year ended 12/31/02 and quarter ended 3/31/03 represents
only transmission and distribution revenues and are, therefore, not directly
comparable to prior years due to the separation of the retail business from
the transmission and distribution business, pursuant to the Texas Electric
Utility Restructuring Act.

TRANSITION BOND COMPANY LLC PRELIMINARY
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
GLOSSARY
"COLLATERAL" All assets held by the indenture trustee for
the benefit of the holders of the Bonds. Most
assets of the Issuer will be held by the
indenture trustee in a segregated account
established pursuant to an indenture (the
"Collection Account").
The Issuer's principal asset will be Transition
Property. Transition Property is a present
property right created pursuant to the Texas
Electric Utility Restructuring Act and the
Financing Order, which became final and
non-appealable in January 30, 2003. It consists
primarily of the irrevocable right to impose,
collect and receive non-bypassable TCs.
"PRINCIPAL PAYMENTS" Principal will be paid sequentially.
No class will receive principal payments until
all classes of a higher numerical designation
have been paid in full unless there is an
acceleration of the Bonds following an event of
default in which case principal will be paid to
all classes on a pro-rata basis.
Please see "Scheduled Amortization."
"STATE PLEDGE" The State of Texas (including the PUCT)
has pledged that it will not take or permit any
action that would impair the value of the
Transition Property or reduce, alter or impair
the TCs until the related Bonds are fully
repaid or discharged, other than periodic
true-up adjustments to correct any
overcollections or undercollections.
No voter initiative or referendum process
currently exists in Texas.
"TRANSITION CHARGES OR TCS" TCs are statutorily-created,
non-bypassable, usage-based per kilowatt hour
and per kilowatt charges. TCs are irrevocable
and payable, through REPs, by retail electric
customers within Oncor's historic service
territory.
TCs are calculated to ensure collection of
revenues sufficient to (a) pay periodic
expenses associated with the Bonds; (b) make
scheduled payments of principal and interest
(including required payments to the swap
counterparty, if any) on the Bonds; (c) fund
scheduled deposits to an overcollateralization
subaccount; and (d) replenish any amounts
previously withdrawn from the
overcollateralization subaccount or the capital
subaccount. For summary historical information
regarding Oncor's retail electric sales,
customers and revenues, please refer to "Source
of Revenues: Historical Customer Class
Composition."
"TRUE-UP MECHANISM True-ups correct any undercollections or over-
AND CREDIT collections of TCs during the preceding year
ENHANCEMENT" (for standard true-ups) or the preceding six
months (for interim true-ups). These are
legislatively mandated by PUCT's irrevocable
Financing Order.
o Standard: Annually.
o Interim: Semi-annually, if (a)
anticipated principal balance (taking
into account amounts in the reserve
subaccount) is 5% greater or less than
expected principal balance, or (b) such
measure is necessary to meet certain
rating agency requirements that a
series of Bonds be paid in full by the
expected maturity date.
o Non-Standard: If forecasted billing
units for any classes decreases by more
than 10% compared to the threshold
billing units recorded during the 12
months ending April 30, 1999.
Capital Subaccount: upfront cash deposit of
0.5% of initial principal balance.
Overcollateralization Subaccount: funded in
equal installments on each payment date to
reach 0.5% of initial principal balance.
Reserve Subaccount: holds any excess
collections of TCs.
REP Security Deposit Subaccounts: may be
drawn upon in the event of a REP payment
default.
