Series 2003-1 Bonds consists of four Classes, including this Class A-[ ] Bond
(herein called the "Series 2003-1 Bonds"), all issued and to be issued under an
Indenture dated as of August 21, 2003, and a series supplement thereto dated as
of August 21, 2003 (such series supplement, as supplemented or amended, the
"Series Supplement" and, collectively with such indenture, as supplemented or
amended, the "Indenture"), between the Issuer and The Bank of New York, as
Indenture Trustee (the "Indenture 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 respective rights and
obligations thereunder of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Holders of
the Bonds. All terms used in this Class A-[ ] Bond that are defined in the
Indenture, as supplemented or amended, shall have the meanings assigned to them
in the Indenture.
The Class A-[ ] Bonds and the other Classes of Series 2003-1 Bonds
(all of such Classes being referred to herein as "Series 2003-1 Bonds") are and
will be equally and ratably secured by the Series 2003-1 Collateral pledged as
security therefor as provided in the Indenture.
The principal of this Class A-[ ] 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
the preceding Payment Date (after giving effect to all payments of principal, if
any, made on the preceding Payment Date) has been reduced to the principal
balance specified for the Class A-[ ] Bonds in the Expected Amortization
Schedule which is attached to the Series Supplement as Schedule A, unless
payable earlier either because (x) an Event of Default shall have occurred and
be continuing and the Indenture Trustee or the Holders representing not less
than a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Series 2003-1 Bonds have
declared the Series 2003-1 Bonds to be immediately due and payable in accordance
with Section 5.02 of the Indenture (unless such declaration shall have been
rescinded and annulled in accordance with Section 5.02 of the Indenture) or (y)
the Issuer, at its option, shall have called for the redemption of the Series
2003-1 Bonds pursuant to Section 10.01 of the Indenture or in accordance with
the Series Supplement. However, actual principal payments may be made in lesser
than expected amounts and at later than expected times as determined pursuant to
Section 8.02 of the Indenture. The entire unpaid principal amount of this Class
A-[ ] Bond shall be due and payable on the earlier of the Final Maturity Date
hereof and the Optional Redemption Date, if any. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the entire unpaid principal amount of the Class A-[ ] 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 Indenture Trustee or the Holders
of the Series 2003-1 Bonds representing not less than a majority of the
Outstanding Amount of the Series 2003-1 Bonds have declared the Bonds of this
Series to be immediately due and payable in the manner provided in Section 5.02
of the Indenture (unless such declaration shall have been rescinded and annulled
in accordance with Section 5.02 of the Indenture). All principal payments on the
Class A-[ ] Bonds shall be made pro rata to the Class A-[ ] Holders entitled
thereto based on the respective principal amounts of the Class A-[ ] Bonds held
by them.
Payments of interest on this Class A-[ ] Bond due and payable on each
Payment Date, together with the installment of principal or premium, if any,
shall be made by check mailed first-class, postage prepaid, to the Person whose
name appears as the Registered Holder of this Class A-[ ] Bond (or one or more
Predecessor Bonds) on the Securities Register as of the close of business on the
Record Date or in such other manner as may be provided in the Indenture or the
Series Supplement, if any, except for the final installment of principal and
premium, if any, payable with respect to this Class A-[ ] 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 on the
Securities Register as of the applicable Record Date without requiring that this
Class A-[ ] Bond be submitted for notation of payment. Any reduction in the
principal amount of this Class A-[ ] Bond (or any one or more Predecessor Bonds)
effected by any payments made on any Payment Date shall be binding upon all
future Holders of this Class A-[ ] Bond and of any 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-[ ] Bond on a Payment Date, then the Indenture Trustee, in the name
of and on behalf of the Issuer, will notify the Person who was the Registered
Holder hereof as of the Record Date preceding such Payment Date by notice mailed
no later than five days prior to such final Payment Date and shall specify that
such final installment will be payable only upon presentation and surrender of
this Class A-[ ] Xxxx and shall specify the place where this Class A-[ ] Bond
may be presented and surrendered for payment of such installment.
The Issuer shall pay interest on overdue installments of interest at
the Bond Interest Rate to the extent lawful.
As provided in the Series Supplement, the Class A-[ ] Bonds may be
redeemed, in whole but not in part, at the option of the Issuer on any date
after the Scheduled Final Payment Date referred to on the face hereof at the
Optional Redemption Price if, after giving effect to payments that would
otherwise be made on such Payment Date, the Outstanding Amount of the Class A-[
] Bonds has been reduced to less than or equal to five percent of the Original
Principal Amount thereof.
This Class A-[ ] Bond is a "transition bond" as such term is defined
in the Securitization Law. Principal and interest due and payable on this Bond
are payable from and secured primarily by Series 2003-1 Transition Property
created and established by the Financing Order obtained from the Public Utility
Commission of Texas pursuant to the Securitization Law. Series 2003-1 Transition
Property consists of the rights and interests in the Financing Order, including
the right to impose, collect and recover certain charges (defined in the
Securitization Law as "Transition Charges") to be included in regular electric
utility bills of existing and future electric service customers within the
service territory of Oncor Electric Delivery Company, a Texas electric utility,
or its successors or assigns, as more fully described in the Financing Order.
The Securitization Law provides that: "Transition bonds are not a debt
or obligation of the state and are not a charge on its full faith and credit or
taxing power. The state pledges, however, for the benefit and protection of
financing parties and the electric utility, that it will not take or permit any
action that would impair the value of transition property, or, except as
permitted by Section 39.307, reduce, alter, or impair the transition charges to
be imposed, collected, and remitted to financing parties, until the principal,
interest and premium, and any other charges incurred and contracts to be
performed in connection with the related transition bonds have been paid and
performed in full. Any party issuing transition bonds is authorized to include
this pledge in any documentation relating to those bonds."
As a result of the foregoing pledge, the State of Texas (including the
PUCT) may not, except as provided in the succeeding sentence, in any way reduce,
alter or impair the Transition Charges until the Bonds, together with interest
thereon, are fully paid and discharged. Notwithstanding the immediately
preceding sentence, the State of Texas would be allowed to effect a temporary
impairment of the Holders' rights if it could be shown that such impairment was
necessary to advance a significant and legitimate public purpose.
The Issuer and Oncor hereby acknowledge that the purchase of this
Class A-[ ] Bond by the Holder hereof or the purchase of any beneficial interest
herein by any Person are made in reliance on the foregoing pledge.
As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations set
forth therein, the transfer of this Class A-[ ] Bond may be registered on the
Securities Register upon surrender of this Class A-[ ] 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) a written instrument of
transfer in form satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee duly executed by the
Holder hereof or such Holder's attorney duly authorized in writing, with such
signature guaranteed by an institution which is a member of one of the following
recognized Signature Guaranty Programs: (i) The Securities Transfer Agent
Medallion Program (STAMP); (ii) The New York Stock Exchange Medallion Program
(MSP); (iii) The Stock Exchange Medallion Program (SEMP); or (iv) in such other
guarantee program acceptable to the Indenture Trustee, and (b) such other
documents as the Indenture Trustee may require, and thereupon one or more new
Class A-[ ] Bonds of Minimum Denominations and in the same aggregate 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-[ ] 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 such registration of transfer or exchange, other than exchanges
pursuant to Sections 2.04, 9.06 or 10.04 of the Indenture not involving any
transfer.
Each Bondholder, by acceptance of a Class A-[ ] Xxxx, covenants and
agrees that no recourse may be taken, directly or indirectly, with respect to
the obligations of the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee on the Bonds or under the
Indenture or any certificate or other writing delivered in connection therewith,
against (i) the Indenture Trustee or the Managers in their respective individual
capacities, (ii) any owner of a membership interest in the Issuer (including
Oncor) or (iii) any shareholder, partner, owner, beneficiary, agent, officer or
employee of the Indenture Trustee, the Managers or any owner of a membership
interest in the Issuer (including Oncor) in its respective individual capacity,
or of any successor or assign of any of them in their individual or corporate
capacities, except as any such Person may have expressly agreed (it being
understood that none of the Indenture Trustee, the Managers or Oncor has any
such obligations in their respective individual or corporate capacities).
Prior to the due presentment for registration of transfer of this
Class A-[ ] Xxxx, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and any agent of the Issuer
or the Indenture Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Class A-[ ]
Xxxx is registered (as of the day of determination) as the owner hereof for the
purpose of receiving payments of principal of and premium, if any, and interest
on this Class A-[ ] Bond and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not
this Class A-[ ] Bond be overdue, and neither the Issuer, the Indenture 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 Bonds under the Indenture at any
time by the Issuer with the consent of the Holders of Bonds representing not
less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount of all Bonds at the time
outstanding of each Series or Class to be affected. The Indenture also contains
provisions permitting the Holders of Bonds representing specified percentages of
the Outstanding Amount of the Bonds of each affected Series, on behalf of the
Holders of all the Bonds of such Series, together with PUCT, to waive certain
past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or
waiver by the Holder of this Class A-[ ] Bond (or any one of more Predecessor
Bonds) shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future
Holders of this Class A-[ ] Bond and of any 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-[ ] Bond. The Indenture also
permits the Indenture Trustee to amend or waive certain terms and conditions set
forth in the Indenture without the consent of Holders of the Bonds of all
affected Series issued thereunder.
The Indenture contains provisions for defeasance at any time of (a)
the entire indebtedness of the Issuer on this Class A-[ ] Bond and (b) certain
restrictive covenants and the related Events of Default, upon compliance by the
Issuer with certain conditions set forth herein, which provisions apply to this
Class A-[ ] Bond.
The term "Issuer" as used in this Class A-[ ] Xxxx 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 Indenture Trustee and the
Holders of Bonds under the Indenture.
The Class A-[ ] Bonds are issuable only in registered form in
denominations as provided in the Indenture and the related Series Supplement,
subject to certain limitations therein set forth.
This Class A-[ ] Bond, the Indenture and the Series Supplement shall
be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, 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; provided that the creation, attachment and perfection
of any liens created under the Indenture in Transition Property, and all rights
and remedies of the Indenture Trustee and the Holders with respect to such
Transition Property, shall be governed by the laws of the State of Texas.
No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this
Class A-[ ] Bond or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation, which
is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and interest on this
Class A-[ ] Bond at the times, place, and rate, and in the coin or currency
herein prescribed.
The Holder of this Class A-[ ] Bond by the acceptance hereof agrees
that, notwithstanding any provision of the Indenture or the related Series
Supplement, if any, to the contrary, the Holder shall have no recourse against
the Issuer, but shall look only to the Series 2003-1 Collateral, with respect to
any amounts due to the Holder under this Class A-[ ] Bond.
The Issuer, by entering into the Indenture, and the Holders and any
Persons holding a beneficial interest in any Class A-[ ] Bond, by acquiring any
Class A-[ ] Bond or interest therein, (i) express their intention that, solely
for the purpose of federal taxes and, to the extent consistent with applicable
state, local and other tax law, solely for the purpose of state, local and other
taxes, the Class A-[ ] Bonds qualify under applicable tax law as indebtedness of
the sole owner of the Issuer secured by the Series Collateral and (ii) solely
for purposes of federal taxes and, to the extent consistent with applicable
state, local and other tax law, solely for purposes of state, local and other
taxes, so long as any of the Class A-[ ] Bonds are outstanding, agree to treat
the Class A-[ ] Bonds as indebtedness of the sole owner of the Issuer secured by
the Series Collateral unless otherwise required by appropriate taxing
authorities.
