Issuer, free and clear of all Liens, except for any Lien created pursuant to Section 1H(e) of Chapter 164 of the Massachusetts General Laws and any Lien that may be Granted under the Basic Documents, and pursuant to Section 1H(f)(1) of Chapter 164 of the Massachusetts General Laws such transfer shall be treated as an absolute transfer of all of the Seller’s right, title and interest (as in a true sale), and not as a pledge or other financing of, the Transition Property.

(b) Transfer Filings. On the Closing Date, immediately upon the sale hereunder, the Transition Property has been validly transferred and sold to the Note Issuer, the Note Issuer shall own all such Transition Property free and clear of all Liens (except for any Lien created pursuant to Section 1H(e) of Chapter 164 of the Massachusetts General Laws and any Lien that may be Granted under the Basic Documents) and all filings to be made by the Seller (including filings with the DTE under the Statute) necessary in any jurisdiction to give the Note Issuer a valid, perfected ownership interest (subject to any Lien created pursuant to Section 1H(e) of Chapter 164 of the Massachusetts General Laws and any Lien that may be Granted under the Basic Documents) in, and for the Grant by the Note Issuer to the Note Trustee of a valid, first priority perfected security interest (except for any Lien created pursuant to Section 1H(e) of Chapter 164 of the Massachusetts General Laws and any Lien that may be Granted under the Basic Documents) in, the Transition Property have been made. No further action is required to maintain such ownership interest or the Note Trustee’s perfected security interest (in each case, subject to any Lien created pursuant to Section 1H(e) of Chapter 164 of the Massachusetts General Laws and any Lien that may be Granted under the Basic Documents). Filings have also been made to the extent required in any jurisdiction to perfect the Back-Up Security Interest Granted by the Seller to the Note Issuer (subject to any Lien created pursuant to Section 1H(e) of Chapter 164 of the Massachusetts General Laws and any Lien that may be Granted under the Basic Documents).

(c) Financing Order and Issuance Advice Letter; Other Approvals. On the Closing Date, under the laws of The Commonwealth of Massachusetts and the United States in effect on the Closing Date, (i) the Financing Order pursuant to which the Transition Property has been created is in full force and effect; (ii) the Certificateholders are entitled to the protections of the Statute and, accordingly, the Financing Order is not revocable by the DTE; (iii) The Commonwealth of Massachusetts may not alter the provisions of the Statute that make the RTC Charge irrevocable and binding, limit or alter the Transition Property, the reimbursable transition costs amounts (as defined in Section 1H(a) of Chapter 164) or the Financing Order, and all rights thereunder, in a manner that would substantially impair the rights of the Certificateholders, absent a demonstration by The Commonwealth of Massachusetts that an impairment is narrowly-tailored and is necessary to advance an important public interest, such as a “great public calamity” until the Notes, together with interest thereon, are fully met and discharged; (iv) the DTE may not, either by rescinding, altering or amending the Financing Order, in any way reduce or impair the value of the Transition Property either directly or indirectly by taking reimbursable transition costs amounts into account when setting other rates for the Seller, in a manner that would substantially impair the rights of Certificateholders, absent a demonstration by The Commonwealth of Massachusetts that an impairment is narrowly-tailored and is necessary to advance an important public interest, such as a “great public calamity”, until the Notes, together with interest thereon, are fully met and discharged; (v) the process by which the Financing Order was adopted and approved, and the Financing Order and Issuance Advice Letter themselves,

-9-

comply with all applicable laws, rules and regulations; (vi) the Issuance Advice Letter has been filed in accordance with the Financing Order; and (vii) 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 sale of the Transition Property, except those that have been obtained or made.

(d) Assumptions. On the Closing Date, based upon the information available to the Seller on the Closing Date, the assumptions used in calculating the initial RTC Charge are reasonable and are made in good faith. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Seller makes no representation or warranty that the assumptions used in calculating such RTC Charge will in fact be realized.

(e) Creation of Transition Property. Upon the effectiveness of the Financing Order and the Issuance Advice Letter: (i) all of the Transition Property constitutes an existing property right; (ii) the Transition Property includes the right, title and interest in and to all revenues, collections, claims, payments, money, or proceeds of or arising from the RTC Charge, as adjusted from time to time pursuant to the Financing Order, and all rights to obtain adjustments to the RTC Charge pursuant to the Financing Order; and (iii) the owner of the Transition Property is legally entitled to collect payments in respect of the RTC Charge in the aggregate sufficient to pay the interest on and principal of the Notes, to pay the fees and expenses incurred by or allocable to the Note Issuer in connection with servicing the Notes and an allocable portion of the Certificates, to replenish the Capital Subaccount to the Required Capital Level and to fund the Overcollateralization Subaccount to the Required Overcollateralization Level until the Notes are paid in full. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Seller makes no representation or warranty that any amounts actually collected in respect of the RTC Charge will in fact be sufficient to meet payment obligations with respect to the Notes and, hence, the Note Issuer’s allocable portion of the Certificates.

(f) Prospectus. As of the date hereof, the information describing the Seller in “The Sellers and Servicers” section of the prospectus dated February 9, 2005 offering the Notes, the notes issued by CEC Funding, LLC and the Certificates is correct in all material respects.

Section 3.09. 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 a legislative enactment, constitutional amendment or voter initiative. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Seller makes no representation or warranty that any amounts actually collected in respect of the RTC Charge will in fact be sufficient to meet payment obligations with respect to the Notes and, hence, the Note Issuer’s allocable portion of the Certificates or that the assumptions used in calculating the RTC Charge will in fact be realized nor shall the Seller be obligated to reduce, or accept a reduction of, any rates or charges to which it would otherwise be entitled in respect of services rendered or to be rendered to Customers in order to permit the payment of the RTC Charge.

reasonably necessary to perform its obligations under Section 5.02(d) of the Servicing Agreement in all respects. The costs of any such actions or proceedings shall be payable from RTC Charge Collections as an Operating Expense in accordance with the priorities set forth in Section 8.02(d) of the Note Indenture. The Seller’s obligations pursuant to this Section 4.07 shall survive and continue notwithstanding the fact that the payment of Operating Expenses pursuant to Section 8.02(d) of the Note Indenture may be delayed (it being understood that the Seller may be required to advance its own funds to satisfy its obligations hereunder).

Section 4.08. Nonpetition Covenants. Notwithstanding any prior termination of this Agreement or the Note Indenture, but subject to the DTE’s right to order the sequestration and payment of revenues arising with respect to the Transition Property notwithstanding any bankruptcy, reorganization or other insolvency proceedings with respect to the Seller pursuant to Section 1H(d)(5) of the Statute, the Seller solely in its capacity as a creditor of the Note Issuer shall not, prior to the date which is one year and one day after the termination of the Note Indenture, petition or otherwise invoke or cause the Note Issuer to invoke the process of any court or government authority for the purpose of commencing or sustaining an involuntary case against the Note Issuer under any Federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law, appointing a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, custodian, sequestrator or other similar official of the Note Issuer or any substantial part of the property of the Note Issuer, or, to the fullest extent permitted by law, ordering the winding up or liquidation of the affairs of the Note Issuer.

Section 4.09. Taxes. So long as any of the Notes 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 Transition Property; provided that no such tax need be paid if the Seller or one of its subsidiaries is contesting the same in good faith by appropriate proceedings promptly instituted and diligently conducted and if the Seller or such subsidiary has established appropriate reserves as shall be required in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

Section 4.10. Additional Sales of Transition Property. So long as any of the Notes are outstanding, the Seller shall not sell any transition property (as defined in the Statute) to secure another issuance of electric rate reduction bonds (as defined in the Statute) if it would cause the then existing ratings on the Certificates from the Rating Agencies to be downgraded.

Section 4.11. Issuance Advice Letter. The Seller hereby agrees not to withdraw the filing of the Issuance Advice Letter with the DTE.

ARTICLE V. THE SELLER

Section 5.01. Liability of Seller; Indemnities.

(a) The Seller shall be liable in accordance herewith only to the extent of the obligations specifically undertaken by the Seller under this Agreement.

-13-

(b) (i) In the event of a breach by the Seller of any representation and warranty specified in Sections 3.08(c) or 3.08(e) that has a material adverse effect on the Certificateholders, the Seller shall repurchase the Transition Property from the Note Issuer at a purchase price equal to the then outstanding principal amount of the Notes and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, excluding any premium or penalty of any kind (the “Repurchase Price”), as of the Repurchase Date; provided, however, that the Seller shall not be obligated to repurchase the Transition Property if (A) within 90 days after the date of occurrence thereof such breach is cured or the Seller takes remedial action such that there is not and will not be a material adverse effect on the Certificateholders as a result of such breach and (B) either (1) if the Seller had, immediately prior to the breach, a long term debt rating of at least “A3” by Moody’s and “BBB” by S&P, and the Seller enters into a binding agreement with the Note Issuer to pay any amounts necessary so that all interest payments due on the Notes during such 90-day period will be paid in full, or (2) if the Seller does not have such long term debt ratings, the Seller deposits, within two Business Days after such breach, an amount in escrow with the Note Trustee sufficient, taking into account amounts on deposit in the Collection Account which will be available for such purpose, to pay all interest payments which will become due on the Notes during such 90-day period.

(ii) In the event of a breach by the Seller of any representation and warranty specified in Sections 3.01, 3.03, 3.04, 3.05, 3.08(a) or 3.08(b) that has a material adverse effect on the Certificateholders, if within 90 days after the date of occurrence thereof such breach has not been cured or the Seller has not taken remedial action such that there is not and will not be a material adverse effect on the Certificateholders as a result of such breach, then the Seller shall repurchase the Transition Property from the Note Issuer for the Repurchase Price on the Repurchase Date.

(iii) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, upon the payment by the Seller of the Repurchase Price pursuant to this Section 5.01(b), neither the Note Issuer nor any other Person shall have any other claims, rights or remedies against the Seller under, arising from or with respect to this Agreement, except as set forth in Section 5.01(c), (d), (e) and (h).

(c) The Seller shall indemnify the Note Issuer, the Note Trustee, the Certificate Trustee, the Delaware Trustee, the Agencies, the Certificate Issuer, the Noteholders and the Certificateholders for, and defend and hold harmless each such Person from and against, any and all taxes (other than taxes imposed on Noteholders or Certificateholders solely as a result of their ownership of Notes or Certificates, respectively) that may at any time be imposed on or asserted against any such Person under existing law as of the Closing Date as a result of the sale of the Transition Property to the Note Issuer, including any sales, gross receipts, general corporation, tangible personal property, privilege or license taxes; provided, however, that the Noteholders and the Certificateholders shall be entitled to enforce their rights against the Seller under this Section 5.01(c) solely through a cause of action brought for their benefit by the Note Trustee or the Certificate Trustee, as the case may be.

(d) The Seller shall indemnify the Note Issuer, the Note Trustee, the Certificate Trustee, the Delaware Trustee, the Agencies, the Certificate Issuer, the Noteholders and the Certificateholders for, and defend and hold harmless each such Person from and against, any and all taxes that may be imposed on or asserted against any such Person under existing law as of the

-14-

Closing Date as a result of the issuance and sale by the Note Issuer of the Notes, the issuance and sale by the Trust of the Note Issuer’s allocable portion of the Certificates or the other transactions contemplated herein, including any sales, gross receipts, general corporation, tangible personal property, privilege or license taxes; provided, however, that the Noteholders and the Certificateholders shall be entitled to enforce their rights against the Seller under this Section 5.01(d) solely through a cause of action brought for their benefit by the Note Trustee or the Certificate Trustee, as the case may be. The Seller shall be reimbursed for any payments under this Section 5.01(d) from RTC Charge Collections as an Operating Expense in accordance with the priorities set forth in Section 8.02(d) of the Note Indenture.

(e) The Seller shall indemnify the Note Issuer, the Noteholders and the Certificateholders for, and defend and hold harmless each such Person from and against, any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, actions, suits, claims, damages, payments, costs or expenses of any kind whatsoever (collectively, “Losses”) that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against each such Person as a result of (i) the Seller’s willful misconduct or gross negligence in the performance of its duties or observance of its covenants under this Agreement, or (ii) the Seller’s breach in any material respect of any of its representations and warranties contained in this Agreement (other than the representations and warranties specified in Sections 3.01, 3.03, 3.04, 3.05, 3.08(a), 3.08(b), 3.08(c) or 3.08(e), the breach of which are subject to the repurchase obligation set forth in Section 5.01(b)), except in the case of both clauses (i) and (ii) to the extent of Losses either resulting from the willful misconduct or gross negligence of such indemnified person or resulting from a breach of a representation and warranty made by such indemnified person in any of the Basic Documents that gives rise to the Seller’s breach; provided, however, that the Noteholders and the Certificateholders shall be entitled to enforce their rights against the Seller under this indemnification solely through a cause of action brought for their benefit by the Note Trustee or the Certificate Trustee, as the case may be; provided, further, that the Seller may, at its election and in full satisfaction of its obligations under this Section 5.01(e), repurchase the Transition Property at the Repurchase Price, in which case neither the Note Issuer nor any other Person shall have any other claims, rights or remedies against the Seller under, arising from or with respect to this Agreement, except as set forth in Section 5.01(c), (d) and (h).

(f) Indemnification under Sections 5.01(c), 5.01(d), 5.01(e) and 5.01(h) shall include reasonable fees and out-of-pocket expenses of investigation and litigation (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses), except as otherwise provided in this Agreement.

(g) 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 a legislative enactment, constitutional amendment or voter initiative. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Seller makes no representation or warranty that any amounts actually collected in respect of the RTC Charge will in fact be sufficient to meet payment obligations with respect to the Notes and, hence, the Note Issuer’s allocable portion of the Certificates or that the assumptions used in calculating the RTC Charge will in fact be realized nor shall the Seller be obligated to reduce, or accept a reduction of, any rates or charges to which it would otherwise be entitled in respect of services rendered or to be rendered to customers in order to permit the payment of the RTC Charge.

-15-

(h) The Seller shall indemnify and hold harmless the Note Trustee, the Delaware Trustee, the Certificate Trustee, the Certificate Issuer, the Agencies and any of their respective affiliates, officials, officers, directors, employees and agents (each an “Indemnified Person”) against any and all Losses incurred by any of such Indemnified Persons as a result of (i) the Seller’s willful misconduct or gross negligence in the performance of its duties or observance of its covenants under this Agreement or (ii) the Seller’s breach in any material respect of any of its representations and warranties contained in this Agreement, except in the case of both clauses (i) and (ii) to the extent of Losses either resulting from the willful misconduct 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 written consent of the Seller, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Person of notice of its involvement in any action, proceeding or investigation, such Indemnified Person shall, if a claim for indemnification in respect thereof is to be made against the Seller under this Section 5.01(h), notify the Seller in writing of such involvement. 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(h) 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(h), the Seller shall be entitled to assume the defense of any such action, proceeding or investigation. Upon assumption by the Seller of the defense of any such action, proceeding or investigation, the Indemnified Person shall have the right to participate in such action or proceeding and to retain its own counsel. The Seller shall be entitled to appoint counsel of the Seller’s choice at the Seller’s expense to represent the Indemnified Person in any action, proceeding or investigation for which a claim of indemnification is made against the Seller under this Section 5.01(h) (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, however, that such counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person. Notwithstanding the Seller’s election to appoint counsel to represent the Indemnified Person in an action, proceeding or investigation, the Indemnified Person shall have the right to employ separate counsel (including local counsel), and the Seller shall bear the reasonable fees, costs and expenses of such separate counsel if (i) the use of counsel chosen by the Seller to represent the Indemnified Person would present such counsel with a conflict of interest, (ii) the actual or potential defendants in, or targets of, any such action include both the Indemnified Person and the 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, (iii) 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 or (iv) the Seller shall authorize the Indemnified Person to employ separate counsel at the expense of the Seller. 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 local counsel. The Seller will not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Person, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification may be sought under this Section 5.01(h)

-16-

(whether or not the Indemnified Person is an actual or potential party to such claim or action) unless such settlement, compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of the Indemnified Person from all liability arising out of such claim, action, suit or proceeding.

(i) The remedies of the Note Issuer, the Noteholders and the Certificateholders provided in this Agreement are each such Person’s sole and exclusive remedies against the Seller for breach of its representations and warranties in this Agreement.

Section 5.02. Merger or Consolidation of, or Assumption of the Obligations of, Seller. Any Person (a) into which the Seller may be merged or consolidated, (b) that may result from any merger or consolidation to which the Seller shall be a party or (c) that may succeed to the properties and assets of the Seller substantially as a whole, which Person in any of the foregoing cases executes an agreement of assumption to perform every obligation of the Seller hereunder, shall be the successor to the Seller under this Agreement without further act on the part of any of the parties to this Agreement; provided, however, that (i) if the Seller is the Servicer, 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, (ii) the Seller shall have delivered to the Note Issuer and the Note Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating that such consolidation, merger or succession and such agreement of assumption comply with this Section 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 Note Issuer and the Note Trustee an Opinion of Counsel either (A) stating that, in the opinion of such counsel, such consolidation, merger or succession and such agreement of assumption comply with this Section and that all conditions precedent provided for in this Agreement relating to such transaction have been complied with and (B) either (1) all filings to be made by the Seller, including filings with the DTE pursuant to the Statute and under the applicable UCC, have been executed and filed that are necessary to fully preserve and protect the interests of the Note Issuer and the Note Trustee in the Transition Property and reciting the details of such filings, or (2) no such action shall be necessary to preserve and protect such interests and (iv) the Rating Agencies shall have received prior written notice of such transaction. When any Person acquires the properties and assets of the Seller substantially as a whole and becomes the successor to the Seller 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 Seller shall automatically and without further notice be released from all of its obligations hereunder.

Section 5.03. 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.

ARTICLE VI. MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

Section 6.01. Amendment. This Agreement may be amended by the Seller and the Note Issuer, with ten Business Days’ prior written notice given to the Rating Agencies and the prior written consent of the Note Trustee, but without the consent of any of the Noteholders, to cure any ambiguity, to correct or supplement any provisions in this Agreement or for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions in this

-17-

Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Noteholders; provided, however, that such action shall not, as evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Note Issuer and the Note Trustee, adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Noteholder.

Prior to the execution of any amendment to this Agreement, the Note Trustee shall be entitled to receive and rely upon an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such amendment is authorized or permitted by this Agreement.

The Note Issuer shall provide a copy of any amendment to this Agreement to the Note Trustee promptly after the execution thereof.

Section 6.02. Notices. Unless otherwise specifically provided herein, all notices, directions, consents and waivers required under the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall be in English and in writing, and any such notice, direction, consent or waiver may be given by United States mail, courier service, facsimile transmission or electronic mail (confirmed by telephone, United States mail or courier service in the case of notice by facsimile transmission or electronic mail) or any other customary means of communication, and any such notice, direction, consent or waiver shall be effective when delivered, or if mailed, three days after deposit in the United States mail with proper postage for ordinary mail prepaid:
