(a) Duties of Servicer Generally. The Servicer’s duties in general shall include management, servicing and administration of the Recovery Property; obtaining meter reads, calculating electric usage, billing, collections and posting of all payments in respect of the Recovery Property; responding to inquiries by Consumers, the CPUC, or any federal, local or other state governmental authorities with respect to the Recovery Property; delivering Bills to Consumers and ESPs, processing and depositing collections and making periodic remittances pursuant to the Financing Order and each Tariff; furnishing periodic reports to the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Rating Agencies; and taking action in connection with True-Up Adjustments as set forth herein. Certain of the duties set forth above may be performed by ESPs pursuant to ESP Service Agreements if such ESPs satisfy the creditworthiness requirements as set forth in PG&E’s Electric Rule 22.P., “Credit Requirements.” Anything to the contrary notwithstanding, the duties of the Servicer set forth in this Servicing Agreement shall be qualified in their entirety by any CPUC Regulations, the Financing Order and the U.S. federal securities laws and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, including Regulation AB, as in effect at the time such duties are to be performed. Without limiting the generality of this Section 3.01(a), in furtherance of the foregoing, the Servicer hereby agrees that it shall also have, and shall comply with, the duties and responsibilities relating to data acquisition, usage and xxxx calculation, billing, customer service functions, collections, payment processing and remittance set forth in Annex I hereto, as it may be amended from time to time. For the avoidance of doubt, the term “usage” when used herein includes references to both kilowatt hour consumption and kilowatt demand.

On or before the twenty-fifth calendar day of each month (or if such day is not a Servicer Business Day, on the immediately preceding Servicer Business Day), the Servicer shall prepare and deliver to the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Rating Agencies a written report substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto (a “Monthly Servicer’s Certificate”) setting forth certain information relating to Fixed Recovery Charge Payments received by the Servicer during the Collection Period immediately preceding such date; provided, however, that for any month in which the Servicer is required to deliver a Servicer’s Certificate pursuant to Section 4.01(c)(ii), the Servicer shall prepare and deliver the Monthly Servicer’s Certificate no later than the date of delivery of such Servicer’s Certificate.

(ii) Notification of Laws and Regulations. The Servicer shall immediately notify the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Rating Agencies in writing if it becomes aware of any Requirements of Law or CPUC Regulations hereafter promulgated that have a material adverse effect on the Servicer’s ability to perform its duties under this Agreement.

(iii) Other Information. Upon the reasonable request of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee or any Rating Agency, the Servicer shall provide to the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee or such Rating Agency, as the case may be, any public financial information in respect of the Servicer, or any material information regarding the Recovery Property to the extent it is reasonably available to the Servicer, as may be reasonably necessary and permitted by law to enable the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee or the Rating Agencies to monitor the performance by the Servicer hereunder; provided, however, that any such request by the Indenture Trustee shall not create any obligation for the Indenture Trustee to monitor the performance of the Servicer. In addition, so long as any of the Recovery Bonds are outstanding, the Servicer shall provide the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee, within a reasonable time after written request therefor, any information available to the Servicer or reasonably obtainable by it that is necessary to calculate the Fixed Recovery Charges applicable to each FRC Consumer Class.

(iv) Preparation of Reports. The Servicer shall prepare and deliver such additional reports as required under this Agreement, including a copy of each Servicer’s Certificate described in Section 4.01(c)(ii), the annual Servicer’s Regulation AB Certificate described in Section 3.03, and the Annual Accountant’s Report described in Section 3.04.

SECTION 3.02. Servicing and Maintenance Standards.

On behalf of the Issuer, the Servicer shall (a) manage, service, administer, xxxx, collect and calculate Fixed Recovery Charges in accordance with the Wildfire Financing Law and post collections in respect of the Recovery Property with reasonable care and in material compliance with applicable Requirements of Law, including all applicable CPUC Regulations and guidelines, using the same degree of care and diligence that the Servicer exercises with respect to similar assets for its own account and, if applicable, for others; (b) follow customary standards, policies and procedures for the industry in California in performing its duties as Servicer; (c) use all reasonable efforts, consistent with its customary servicing procedures, to enforce, and maintain rights in respect of, the Recovery Property and to xxxx and collect the Fixed Recovery Charges; (d) comply with all Requirements of Law, including all applicable CPUC Regulations and guidelines, applicable to and binding on it relating to the Recovery Property; (e) file all CPUC notices described in the Wildfire Financing Law and file and maintain the effectiveness of UCC financing statements with respect to the property transferred under the Sale Agreement, and (f) take such other action on behalf of the Issuer to ensure that the Lien of the Indenture Trustee

The Servicer shall follow such customary and usual practices and procedures as it shall deem necessary or advisable in its servicing of all or any portion of the Recovery Property, which, in the Servicer’s judgment, may include the taking of legal action, at the Issuer’s expense but subject to the priority of payments set forth in Section 8.02(e) of the Indenture.

ARTICLE IV

SERVICES RELATED TO TRUE-UP ADJUSTMENTS

SECTION 4.01. True-Up Adjustments.

From time to time, until the Retirement of the Recovery Bonds, the Servicer shall identify the need for True-Up Adjustments and shall take all reasonable action to obtain and implement such True-Up Adjustments, all in accordance with the following:

(a) Expected Amortization Schedule. The Expected Amortization Schedule for the Recovery Bonds is attached hereto as Schedule 4.01(a). If the Expected Amortization Schedule is revised, the Servicer shall send a copy of such revised Expected Amortization Schedule to the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Rating Agencies promptly thereafter.

(b) True-Up Adjustments.

(i) Routine Annual True-Up Adjustments and Advice Letter Submissions. At least fifty (50) days prior to each Annual Adjustment Date (and beginning twelve months prior to the Scheduled Final Payment Date, on each Quarterly Adjustment Date), the Servicer shall: (A) for each of the First Payment Period and Second Payment Period, update the data and assumptions underlying

the calculation of the Fixed Recovery Charges, including projected electricity consumption for each FRC Consumer Class and the distribution allocation factors, Periodic Principal, interest and estimated fees and all other Ongoing Financing Costs; (B) determine the Periodic Payment Requirements and Periodic Billing Requirement for the First Payment Period and Second Payment Period based on such updated data and assumptions and adjusting for (i) FRC Collections and excess funds held to the credit of the General Subaccount and Excess Funds Subaccount on the Calculation Cut-Off Date and (ii) FRC Collections to be collected at the then current Fixed Recovery Charge rates after the Calculation Cut-Off Date; (C) determine the Fixed Recovery Charges to be allocated to each FRC Consumer Class through the next succeeding Annual Adjustment Date based on such Periodic Billing Requirements and the terms of the Financing Order, including the Cash Flow Model; (D) make all required notice and other submissions with the CPUC to reflect the revised Fixed Recovery Charges, including a Routine Annual True-Up Mechanism Advice Letter in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D; and (E) take all reasonable actions and make all reasonable efforts to effect such Routine Annual True-Up Adjustment and to enforce the provisions of the Wildfire Financing Law and the Financing Order. The Servicer shall implement the revised Fixed Recovery Charges, if any, resulting from such Routine Annual True-Up Adjustment as of the Annual Adjustment Date.

(ii) Mandatory Semi-Annual True-Up Adjustments and Advice Letter Submissions. If the Servicer forecasts that FRC Collections will be insufficient to meet the Periodic Payment Requirement during the Second Payment Period, at least fifty (50) days prior to each Semi-Annual Adjustment Date the Servicer shall: (A) for the Second Payment Period and the next succeeding Payment Period, update the data and assumptions underlying the calculation of the Fixed Recovery Charges, including projected electricity consumption for each FRC Consumer Class, Periodic Principal, interest and estimated fees and all other Ongoing Financing Costs; (B) determine the Periodic Payment Requirements and Periodic Billing Requirement for the Second Payment Period and the next succeeding Payment Period based on such updated data and assumptions and adjusting for (i) FRC Collections and excess funds held to the credit of the General Subaccount and Excess Funds Subaccount on the Calculation Cut-Off Date and (ii) FRC Collections to be collected at the then-current Fixed Recovery Charge rates after the Calculation Cut-Off Date; and (C) based upon such updated data and requirements, project whether existing and projected FRC Collections together with available fund balances in the Excess Funds Subaccount, will be sufficient (x) to make on a timely basis all scheduled payments of Periodic Principal and interest in respect of each Recovery Bond during such Payment Period, (y) to pay other Ongoing Financing Costs on a timely basis and (z) to maintain the Capital Subaccount at the Required Capital Level. If the Servicer determines that Fixed Recovery Charges will not be sufficient for such purposes, the Servicer shall, no later than fifty (50) days prior to the proposed effective date of the revised Fixed Recovery Charges (which shall be the date that is six months after the Annual Adjustment Date): (1) determine the Fixed Recovery Charges to be allocated to each FRC Consumer Class through the Annual Adjustment Date

based on such Periodic Billing Requirement and the terms of the Financing Order, including the Cash Flow Model; (2) make all required notice and other submissions with the CPUC to reflect the revised Fixed Recovery Charges, including a Routine Semi-Annual True-Up Mechanism Advice Letter in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D; and (3) take all reasonable actions and make all reasonable efforts to effect such Mandatory Semi-Annual True-Up Adjustment and to enforce the provisions of the Wildfire Financing Law and the Financing Order.

(iii) Routine Interim True-Up Adjustments and Advice Letter Submissions. If at any time the Servicer forecasts that FRC Collections will be insufficient to meet the Periodic Payment Requirement during the First Payment Period or Second Payment Period, the Servicer may: (A) for each of the First Payment Period and Second Payment Period, update the data and assumptions underlying the calculation of the Fixed Recovery Charges, including projected electricity consumption for each FRC Consumer Class, Periodic Principal, interest and estimated fees and all other Ongoing Financing Costs; (B) determine the Periodic Payment Requirements and Periodic Billing Requirement for the First Payment Period and Second Payment Period based on such updated data and assumptions and adjusting for (i) FRC Collections and excess funds held to the credit of the General Subaccount and Excess Funds Subaccount on the Calculation Cut-Off Date and (ii) FRC Collections to be collected at the then-current Fixed Recovery Charge rates after the Calculation Cut-Off Date; and (C) based upon such updated data and requirements, project whether existing and projected FRC Collections together with available fund balances in the Excess Funds Subaccount, will be sufficient (x) to make on a timely basis all scheduled payments of Periodic Principal and interest in respect of each Recovery Bond during such Payment Period, (y) to pay other Ongoing Financing Costs on a timely basis and (z) to maintain the Capital Subaccount at the Required Capital Level. If the Servicer determines that Fixed Recovery Charges will not be sufficient for such purposes, the Servicer shall, no later than fifty (50) days prior to the proposed effective date of the revised Fixed Recovery Charges (provided that such effective date shall be on the first calendar day of a month): (1) determine the Fixed Recovery Charges to be allocated to each FRC Consumer Class through the Annual Adjustment Date based on such Periodic Billing Requirement and the terms of the Financing Order, including the Cash Flow Model; (2) make all required notice and other submissions with the CPUC to reflect the revised Fixed Recovery Charges, including a Routine Interim True-Up Mechanism Advice Letter in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D; and (3) take all reasonable actions and make all reasonable efforts to effect such Routine Interim True-Up Adjustment and to enforce the provisions of the Wildfire Financing Law and the Financing Order.

(iv) Non-Routine Adjustments and Advice Letter Submissions. The Servicer may submit a Non-Routine True-Up Adjustment to propose revisions to the logic, structure and components of the Cash Flow Model in the Financing Order. In connection with any Non-Routine True-Up Adjustment, the Servicer

will: (A) present a new Cash Flow Model; (B) for each of the First Payment Period and Second Payment Period, update the data and assumptions underlying the calculation of the Fixed Recovery Charges, including projected electricity consumption for each FRC Consumer Class, Periodic Principal, interest and estimated fees and all other Ongoing Financing Costs; (C) recalculate the Fixed Recovery Charges based on the revisions to Cash Flow Model proposed by the Servicer; (D) file a Non-Routine True-Up Mechanism Advice Letter in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E necessary to begin the billing of such revised Fixed Recovery Charges, which Advice Letter will provide that neither the proposed revision in such Advice Letter, nor any modification ordered by the CPUC, will become effective unless the Rating Agency Condition is satisfied; and (E) take all reasonable actions and make all reasonable efforts to effect such Non-Routine True-Up Adjustment and to enforce the provisions of the Wildfire Financing Law and the Financing Order. Any such Non-Routine True-Up Mechanism Advice Letter must be submitted at least ninety (90) days before the effective date (the “Non-Routine True-Up Effective Date”) contained in the related Non-Routine True-Up Mechanism Advice Letter, provided such effective date may be delayed as required to ensure that the Rating Agency Condition is satisfied. The Servicer shall implement the revised Fixed Recovery Charges, if any, resulting from such Non-Routine True-Up Adjustment on the Non-Routine True-Up Effective Date, provided the CPUC will have the opportunity to consider a resolution that adopts, modifies or rejects the proposed revisions to the Cash Flow Model and the public will have an opportunity to review and protest a Non-Routine True-Up Mechanism Advice Letter in accordance with CPUC procedures, to the extent permitted by Section 850.1(e) of the Wildfire Financing Law, and provided further than, in the absence of a CPUC resolution that adopts, modifies or rejects the revisions proposed in the Non-Routine True-Up Mechanism Advice Letter shall go into effect on the Non-Routine True-Up Effective Date if such Non-Routine True-Up Effective Date is at least ninety (90) days after the date of submission of the related Non-Routine True-Up Mechanism Advice Letter.

(i) Notification of Advice Letter Submissions and True-Up Adjustments. Whenever the Servicer submits an Advice Letter with the CPUC and Notice Parties, the Servicer shall send a copy of such submission or notice (together with a copy of all notices and documents which, in the Servicer’s reasonable judgment, are material to the adjustments effected by such Advice Letter or notice) to the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Rating Agencies concurrently therewith. If, for any reason any revised Fixed Recovery Charges are not implemented and effective on the applicable date set forth herein, the Servicer shall notify the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and each Rating Agency by the end of the second Servicer Business Day after such applicable date.

(ii) Servicer’s Certificate. Not later than five (5) Servicer Business Days prior to each Payment Date or Special Payment Date, the Servicer shall deliver a written report substantially in the form of Exhibit B attached hereto (the “Servicer’s Certificate”) to the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Rating Agencies which shall include all of the following information (to the extent applicable and including any other information so specified in the Series Supplement) as to the Recovery Bonds with respect to such Payment Date or Special Payment Date or the period since the previous Payment Date, as applicable:

(a)

the amount of the payment to Holder allocable to principal, if any;

(b)

the amount of the payment to Holders allocable to interest;

(c)

the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Recovery Bonds, before and after giving effect to any payments allocated to principal reported under clause (A) above;

the difference, if any, between the amount specified in clause (C) above and the Outstanding Amount specified in the Expected Amortization Schedule;

(e)

any other transfers and payments to be made on such Payment Date or Special Payment Date, including amounts paid to the Indenture Trustee and to the Servicer; and

(f)

the amounts on deposit in the Capital Subaccount and the Excess Funds Subaccount, after giving effect to the foregoing payments.

(iii) Reports to Consumers.

(a)

After each revised Fixed Recovery Charge has gone into effect pursuant to a True-Up Adjustment, the Servicer shall, to the extent and in the manner and time frame required by the Financing Order and applicable CPUC Regulations, if any, cause to be prepared and delivered to Consumers any required notices announcing such revised Fixed Recovery Charges.

(b)

The Servicer shall comply with the requirements of the Financing Order with respect to the identification of Fixed Recovery Charges on Bills. As provided in the Financing Order, while PG&E is implementing changes to its billing system, PG&E will include an explanation of the Fixed Recovery Charge in the “Things You Should Know” portion of each Consumer’s xxxx and may direct consumers to a website, hosted by PG&E, that presents Consumers with a table of the Fixed Recovery Charges for each FRC Consumer Class.

The fixed recovery charges for each

series of recovery bonds, including Additional Recovery Bonds and Additional Other Recovery Bonds, may not be separately identified on consumer electricity bills, although consumer electricity bills will state that a portion of the electricity xxxx consists of the rights to the fixed recovery charges that have been sold to the financing entity created to issue such Additional Recovery Bonds or Additional Other Recovery Bonds.

(c)

Except to the extent that applicable CPUC Regulations make the Applicable ESP responsible for such costs, or the Applicable ESP has otherwise agreed to pay such costs, the Servicer shall pay from its own funds all costs of preparation and delivery incurred in connection with clauses (a) and (b) above, including printing and postage costs as the same may increase or decrease from time to time.

(iv) Reconciliation Certificates. The Servicer shall provide to the Indenture Trustee within sixty (60) days of each Payment Date, a Reconciliation Certificate in the form of Exhibit F hereto, in accordance with Section 6.11(c) of this Agreement.

(v) ESP Reports. The Servicer shall provide to the Rating Agencies, upon request, any publicly available reports filed by the Servicer with the CPUC (or otherwise made publicly available by the Servicer) relating to ESPs and any other non-confidential and non-proprietary information relating to ESPs reasonably requested by the Rating Agencies to the extent such information is reasonably available to the Servicer.

SECTION 4.02. Limitation of Liability.

(a) The Issuer and the Servicer expressly agree and acknowledge that:

(i) In connection with any True-Up Adjustment, the Servicer is acting solely in its capacity as the servicing agent hereunder.

(ii) Neither the Servicer nor the Issuer nor the Indenture Trustee is responsible in any manner for, and shall have no liability whatsoever as a result of, any action, decision, ruling or other determination made or not made, or any delay (other than any delay resulting from the Servicer’s failure to make any filings required by Section 4.01 in a timely and correct manner or any breach by the Servicer of its duties under this Agreement), by the CPUC in any way related to the Recovery Property or in connection with any True-Up Adjustment, the subject of any filings under Section 4.01, any proposed True-Up Adjustment, or the approval of any revised Fixed Recovery Charges and the scheduled adjustments thereto.

(iii) Except to the extent the Servicer is liable under Section 6.02, the Servicer shall have no liability whatsoever relating to the calculation of any revised Fixed Recovery Charges and the scheduled adjustments thereto, including as a result of any inaccuracy of any of the assumptions made in such calculation regarding expected energy usage volume, the Collections Curve, so long as the Servicer has acted in good faith and has not acted in a grossly negligent manner in connection therewith, nor shall the Servicer have any liability whatsoever as a result of any Person, including the Bondholders, not receiving any payment, amount or return anticipated or expected or in respect of any Recovery Bond generally, except only to the extent that the same is caused by the Servicer’s gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 4.02 shall not relieve the Servicer of liability for any misrepresentation by the Servicer under Section 6.01 or for any breach by the Servicer of its other obligations under this Agreement.

SECTION 5.02. Duties of Servicer as Custodian.

(a) Safekeeping. The Servicer shall hold the Recovery Property Records on behalf of the Issuer and maintain such accurate and complete accounts, records and computer systems pertaining to the Recovery Property Records as shall enable the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee, as applicable, to comply with this Agreement, the Sale Agreement and the Indenture. In performing its duties as custodian, the Servicer shall act with reasonable care, using that degree of care and diligence that the Servicer exercises with respect to comparable assets that the Servicer services for itself or, if applicable, for others. The Servicer shall promptly report to the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Rating Agencies any failure on its part to hold the Recovery Property Records and maintain its accounts, records and computer systems as herein provided and promptly take appropriate action to remedy any such failure. Nothing herein shall be deemed to require an initial review or any periodic review by the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee of the Recovery Property Records.

(b) Maintenance of and Access to Records. The Servicer shall maintain the Recovery Property Records at 00 Xxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx 00000 or at such other office as shall be specified to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee by written notice at least thirty (30) days prior to any change in location. The Servicer shall make available for inspection, audit and copying to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee or their respective duly authorized representatives, attorneys or auditors the Recovery Property Records at such times during normal business hours as the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee shall reasonably request and which do not unreasonably interfere with the Servicer’s normal operations. Nothing in this Section 5.02(b) shall affect the obligation of the Servicer to observe any applicable law (including any CPUC Regulation) prohibiting disclosure of information regarding the Consumers, and the failure of the Servicer to provide access to such information as a result of such obligation shall not constitute a breach of this Section 5.02(b).

(c) Release of Documents. Upon instruction from the Indenture Trustee in accordance with the Indenture, the Servicer shall release any Recovery Property Records to the Indenture Trustee, the Indenture Trustee’s agent or the Indenture Trustee’s designee, as the case may be, at such place or places as the Indenture Trustee may designate, as soon as practicable. Nothing in this Section 5.02(c) shall affect the obligation of the Servicer to observe any applicable law (including any CPUC Regulation) prohibiting disclosure of information regarding the Consumers, and the failure of the Servicer to provide access to such information as a result of such obligation shall not constitute a breach of this Section 5.02(c).

(d) Defending Recovery Property Against Claims. The Servicer agrees to take such legal or administrative actions, including defending against or instituting and pursuing legal actions and appearing or testifying at hearings or similar proceedings, as may be reasonably necessary (i) to block or overturn any attempts to cause a repeal, modification or supplement to the Wildfire Financing Law or the Financing Order or the rights of holders of Recovery Property by legislative enactment, voter initiative, constitutional amendment or other means that would be materially adverse to Bondholders and (ii) to compel performance by the CPUC or the State of California of any of their obligations or duties under the Wildfire Financing Law, the Financing Order or any Advice Letter. The costs of any such action shall be payable from FRC Collections as an Operating Expense in accordance with the priorities set forth in Section 8.02(d) of the Indenture. The Servicer shall have no obligations under this paragraph if it is not being reimbursed on a current basis for its costs and expenses in taking such actions, and shall not be required to advance its own funds to satisfy its obligations hereunder).

(e) Seeking to Prevent Expansions of Exemptions. The Servicer agrees to take such legal or administrative actions, including defending against or instituting and pursuing legal actions and appearing or testifying at hearings or similar proceedings, as may be reasonably necessary to attempt to prevent the granting by the State of California or the CPUC, after the Closing Date, of any material exemptions from the obligation to pay Fixed Recovery Charges that are not expressly provided for in the Wildfire Financing Law and that violate the State Pledge or any other obligations of the State of California or the CPUC under the Wildfire Financing Law or the Financing Order, including any failure of the CPUC to require any municipal entity which acquires any portion of the service territory of PG&E to impose, collect and remit the Fixed Recovery Charges. The Servicer shall have no obligations under this paragraph if it is not being reimbursed on a current basis for its costs and expenses in taking such actions, and shall not be required to advance its own funds to satisfy its obligations hereunder.

SECTION 5.03. Custodian’s Indemnification.

The Servicer as custodian shall indemnify the Issuer, any Independent Manager and the Indenture Trustee (for itself and for the benefit of the Holders) and each of their respective officers, directors, employees and agents for, and defend and hold harmless each such Person from and against, any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, payments and claims, and reasonable costs or expenses, of any kind whatsoever (collectively, “Indemnified Losses”) that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against each such Person as the result of any grossly negligent act or omission in any way relating to the maintenance and custody by the Servicer, as custodian, of the Recovery Property Records; provided, however, that the Servicer shall not be liable for any portion of any such amount resulting from the willful misconduct, bad faith or negligence of the Issuer, any Independent Manager or the Indenture Trustee, as the case may be.

Indemnification under this Section 5.03 shall survive resignation or removal of the Indenture Trustee or any Independent Manager and shall include reasonable out-of-pocket fees and expenses of investigation and litigation (including reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses and reasonable fees, out-of-pocket expenses and costs incurred in connection with any action, claim or suit brought to enforce the Indenture Trustee’s right to indemnification).

SECTION 5.04. Effective Period and Termination.

The Servicer’s appointment as custodian shall become effective as of the Closing Date and shall continue in full force and effect until terminated pursuant to this Section 5.04. If the Servicer shall resign as Servicer in accordance with Section 6.05 of this Agreement or if all of the rights and obligations of the Servicer shall have been terminated under Section 7.01, the appointment of the Servicer as custodian shall be terminated effective as of the date on which the termination or resignation of the Servicer is effective. Additionally, if not sooner terminated as provided above, the Servicer’s obligations as custodian shall terminate one year and one day after the date on which no Recovery Bonds are Outstanding.

ARTICLE VI

SECTION 6.02. Indemnities of Servicer; Release of Claims.

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

(b) The Servicer shall indemnify the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee (for itself and for the benefit of the Holders) and the Independent Manager and each of their respective trustees, officers, directors, employees and agents (each, an “Indemnified Person”), for, and defend and hold harmless each such Person from and against, any and all Indemnified Losses imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any such Person as a result of (i) the Servicer’s willful misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of, or reckless disregard of, its obligations and duties or observance of its covenants under this Agreement or (ii) the Servicer’s material breach of any of its representations or warranties that results in a Servicer Default under this Agreement, except to the extent of Indemnified Losses either resulting from the willful misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence of such Person seeking indemnification hereunder or resulting from a material breach of a representation or warranty made by such Person seeking indemnification hereunder in any of the Basic Documents that gives rise to the Servicer’s breach.

(c) For purposes of Section 6.02(b), in the event of the termination of the rights and obligations of PG&E (or any successor thereto pursuant to Section 6.03) as Servicer pursuant to Section 7.01, or a resignation by such Servicer pursuant to this Agreement, such Servicer shall be deemed to be the Servicer pending appointment of a successor Servicer pursuant to Section 7.02.

(d) Indemnification under this Section 6.02 shall survive any repeal of, modification of, or supplement to, or judicial invalidation of, the Wildfire Financing Law or the Financing Order and shall survive the resignation or removal of the Indenture Trustee or any Independent Manager or the termination of this Agreement and shall include reasonable out-of-pocket fees and expenses of investigation and litigation (including reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses and the reasonable fees, out-of-pocket expenses and costs incurred in connection with any action, claim or suit brought to enforce the Indenture Trustee’s right to indemnification).

(e) Except to the extent expressly provided in this Agreement or the other Basic Documents (including the Servicer’s claims with respect to the Servicing Fee, reimbursement for any Excess Remittance, reimbursement for costs incurred pursuant to Section 5.02(d) and the payment of the purchase price of Recovery Property), the Servicer hereby releases and discharges the Issuer, any Independent Manager and the Indenture Trustee, and each of their respective officers, directors and agents (collectively, the “Released Parties”) from any and all actions, claims and demands whatsoever, whenever arising, which the Servicer, in its capacity as Servicer or otherwise, shall or may have against any such Person relating to the Recovery Property or the Servicer’s activities with respect thereto other than any actions, claims and demands arising out of the willful misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence of the Released Parties.

(f) Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Person of notice (or, in the case of the Indenture Trustee, receipt of notice by a Responsible Officer only) 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 Servicer under this Section 6.02, notify the Servicer in writing of the commencement thereof. Failure by an Indemnified Person to so notify the Servicer shall relieve the Servicer from the obligation to indemnify and hold harmless such Indemnified Person under this Section 6.02 only to the extent that the Servicer 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 6.02, the Servicer 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 Servicer 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 Servicer’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 Servicer 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 Servicer 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 Servicer, (ii) the Servicer 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 Servicer shall authorize the Indemnified Person to employ separate counsel at the expense of the Servicer 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 Servicer 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 Servicer 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 6.02 (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.

SECTION 6.03. Merger or Consolidation of, or Assumption of the Obligations of, Servicer.

Any Person (a) into which the Servicer may be merged or consolidated and that succeeds to all or substantially all of the electric distribution business of the Servicer, (b) that results from the division of the Servicer into two or more entities and succeeds to all or substantially all of the electric distribution business of the Servicer, (c) that may result from any merger or consolidation to which the Servicer shall be a party and succeeds to all or substantially all of the electric distribution business of the Servicer, or (d) that may otherwise succeed to all or substantially all of the electric distribution business of the Servicer, shall be the successor to the Servicer under this Agreement; provided, however, that (i) such successor must execute an agreement of assumption to perform every obligation of the Servicer hereunder, (ii) immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no Servicer Default and no event that, after notice or lapse of time, or both, would become a Servicer Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (iii) the Servicer shall have delivered to the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Rating Agencies an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel each stating that such consolidation, merger or succession and such agreement of assumption complies with this Section 6.03 and that all conditions precedent provided for in this Agreement relating to such transaction have been complied with and (iv) prior written notice shall have been delivered to the Rating Agencies. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the execution of the foregoing agreement of assumption and compliance with clauses (i) and (ii) above shall be conditions to the consummation of the transactions referred to in clauses (a), (b), (c) and (d) above. If all the conditions to any such assumption are met, then the prior Servicer will automatically be released from all of its obligations under this Agreement, other than those that specifically survive a termination of this Agreement.

SECTION 6.04. Limitation on Liability of Servicer and Others.

Neither the Servicer nor any of the directors or officers or employees or agents of the Servicer shall be liable to the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the Bondholders or any other Person, except as provided under this Agreement, for any action taken or for refraining from the taking of any action pursuant to this Agreement or for good faith errors in judgment; provided, however, that this provision shall not protect the Servicer or any such person against any liability that would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of duties or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations and duties under this Agreement. The Servicer and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Servicer 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 under this Agreement.

Except as provided in this Agreement, the Servicer shall not be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action that shall not be related to or incidental to its duties to service the Recovery Property in accordance with this Agreement, and that in its opinion may involve it in any expense or liability; provided, however, that the Servicer may, in respect of any Proceeding, undertake any action that it is not specifically identified in this Agreement as a duty of the Servicer but that the Servicer reasonably determines is necessary or desirable in order to protect the rights and duties of the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee under this Agreement and the interests of the Holders and Consumers under this Agreement. The Servicer’s costs and expenses incurred in connection with any such proceeding shall be payable from FRC Collections as an Operating Expense (and shall not be deemed to constitute a portion of the Servicing Fee) in accordance with the Indenture. The Servicer shall have no obligations under this paragraph if it is not being reimbursed on a current basis for its costs and expenses in taking such actions, and shall not be required to advance its own funds to satisfy its obligations hereunder.

SECTION 6.05. PG&E Not to Resign as Servicer.

Subject to the provisions of Section 6.03, PG&E shall not resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on it as Servicer under this Agreement except upon either (a) a determination by PG&E that the performance of its duties under this Agreement shall no longer be permissible under applicable law or (b) satisfaction of the following: (i) the Rating Agency Condition shall have been satisfied and (ii) the CPUC shall have approved such resignation. Notice of any such determination permitting the resignation of PG&E pursuant to clause (a) shall be communicated to the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Rating Agencies at the earliest practicable time (and, if such communication is not in writing, shall be confirmed in writing at the earliest practicable time) and any such determination shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect delivered to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee, with a copy to the CPUC, concurrently with or promptly after such notice. No such resignation shall become effective until a successor Servicer shall have assumed the responsibilities and obligations of PG&E in accordance with Section 7.02. No such resignation shall become effective until a successor Servicer shall have assumed the responsibilities and obligations of PG&E in accordance with Section 7.02.

SECTION 6.06. Servicing Compensation.

(a) In consideration for its services hereunder, until the Retirement of the Recovery Bonds, the Servicer shall receive an annual fee (the “Servicing Fee”) in an amount equal to (i) 0.05% of the initial principal amount of the Recovery Bonds for so long as PG&E or an Affiliate of PG&E is the Servicer or (ii) if PG&E or any of its Affiliates is not the Servicer, an amount agreed upon by the Successor Servicer and the Indenture Trustee, provided that such fee must be approved by the CPUC, plus, in either case, reasonable out-of-pocket expenses to cover the Servicer’s incremental costs and expenses in servicing the Recovery Bond. The Servicing Fee owing shall be calculated based on the initial principal amount of the Recovery Bonds and shall be paid semi-annually with half of the Servicing Fee being paid on each Payment Date (provided that the first payment may be adjusted for a longer or shorter first Payment Period). The Servicer also shall be entitled to retain as additional compensation (i) any interest earnings on Fixed Recovery Charge Payments received by the Servicer and invested by the Servicer during each Collection

Period prior to remittance to the Collection Account and (ii) all late payment charges, if any, collected from Consumers or ESPs; provided, however, that if the Servicer has failed to remit the Daily Remittance to the General Subaccount of any Collection Account on the Servicer Business Day that such payment is to be made pursuant to Section 6.11 on more than three (3) occasions during the period that the Recovery Bonds are outstanding, then thereafter the Servicer will be required to pay to the Indenture Trustee interest on each Daily Remittance accrued at the Federal Funds Rate from the Servicer Business Day on which such Daily Remittance was required to be made to the date that such Daily Remittance is actually made.

(b) The Servicing Fee set forth in Section 6.06(a) shall be paid to the Servicer by the Indenture Trustee, on each Payment Date in accordance with the priorities set forth in Section 8.02(e) of the Indenture, by wire transfer of immediately available funds from the Collection Account to an account designated by the Servicer. Any portion of the Servicing Fee not paid on any such date should be added to the Servicing Fee payable on the subsequent Payment Date. In no event shall the Indenture Trustee be liable for the payment of any Servicing Fee or other amounts specified in this Section 6.06; provided that this Section 6.06 does not relieve the Indenture Trustee of any duties it has to allocate funds for payment for such fees under Section 8.02 of the Indenture.

(c) The foregoing Servicing Fees constitute a fair and reasonable price for the obligations to be performed by the Servicer. Such Servicing Fee shall be determined without regard to the income of the Issuer, shall not be deemed to constitute distributions to the recipient of any profit, loss or capital of the Issuer and shall be considered an Operating Expense of the Issuer subject to the limitations on such expenses set forth in the Financing Order.

SECTION 6.07. Compliance with Applicable Law.

The Servicer covenants and agrees, in servicing the Recovery Property, to comply in all material respects with all laws applicable to, and binding upon, the Servicer and relating to the Recovery Property the noncompliance with which would have a material adverse effect on the value of the Recovery Property; provided, however, that the foregoing is not intended to, and shall not, impose any liability on the Servicer for noncompliance with any Requirement of Law that the Servicer is contesting in good faith in accordance with its customary standards and procedures.

SECTION 6.08. Access to Certain Records and Information Regarding Recovery Property.

The Servicer shall provide to the Indenture Trustee access to the Recovery Property Records as is reasonably required for the Indenture Trustee to perform its duties and obligations under the Indenture and the other Basic Documents, and shall provide access to such records to the Holders as required by applicable law. Access shall be afforded without charge, but only upon reasonable request and during normal business hours at the respective offices of the Servicer. Nothing in this Section 6.08 shall affect the obligation of the Servicer to observe any applicable law (including any CPUC Regulation) prohibiting disclosure of information regarding the Consumers, and the failure of the Servicer to provide access to such information as a result of such obligation shall not constitute a breach of this Section 6.08.

SECTION 6.09. Appointments.

The Servicer may at any time appoint any Person to perform all or any portion of its obligations as Servicer hereunder; provided, however, that, unless such Person is an Affiliate of PG&E, the Rating Agency Condition shall have been satisfied in connection therewith; provided further that the Servicer shall remain obligated and be liable under this Agreement for the servicing and administering of the Recovery Property in accordance with the provisions hereof without diminution of such obligation and liability by virtue of the appointment of such Person and to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions as if the Servicer alone were servicing and administering the Recovery Property. The fees and expenses of any such Person shall be as agreed between the Servicer and such Person from time to time and none of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the Holders or any other Person shall have any responsibility therefor or right or claim thereto. Any such appointment shall not constitute a Servicer resignation under Section 6.05.

SECTION 6.10. No Servicer Advances.

The Servicer shall not make any advances of interest on or principal of the Recovery Bonds.

SECTION 6.11. Remittances.

(a) On each Servicer Business Day, after the Billing Commencement Date, the Servicer shall remit to the General Subaccount of the Collection Account the total Estimated FRC Collections estimated to have been received by the Servicer from or on behalf of Consumers on such Servicer Business Day in respect of all previously billed Fixed Recovery Charges (the “Daily Remittance”), which Daily Remittance shall be calculated according to the procedures set forth in Annex I and shall be remitted as soon as reasonably practicable but in no event later than the second Servicer Business Day after such payments are estimated to have been received. Prior to each remittance to the General Subaccount of the Collection Account pursuant to this Section 6.11, the Servicer shall provide written notice to the Indenture Trustee of each such remittance (including the exact dollar amount to be remitted). The Servicer shall also, promptly upon receipt, remit to the Collection Account any other proceeds of the Recovery Bond Collateral which it may receive from time to time.

(b) The Servicer agrees and acknowledges that it holds all Fixed Recovery Charge Payments collected by it and any other proceeds for the Recovery Bond Collateral received by it for the benefit of the Indenture Trustee and the Holders and that all such amounts will be remitted by the Servicer in accordance with this Section 6.11 without any surcharge, fee, offset, charge or other deduction except (i) as set forth in clause (c) below and (ii) for late fees permitted by Section 6.06. The Servicer further agrees not to make any claim to reduce its obligation to remit all Fixed Recovery Charge Payments collected by it in accordance with this Agreement except (i) as set forth in clause (c) below and (ii) for late fees permitted by Section 6.06.

(c) Not less than semi-annually (except in the case of the first reconciliation after the first Payment Date, which will be longer than six months), the Servicer will compare Actual FRC Collections to the Estimated FRC Collections that have been remitted to the Indenture Trustee. Such reconciliation will be conducted within sixty (60) days of each Payment Date and reflected in a Reconciliation Certificate delivered to the Indenture Trustee in the form attached hereto as Exhibit F. The Servicer shall calculate the amount of any Remittance Shortfall or Excess Remittance for the immediately preceding Reconciliation Period, and (A) if a Remittance Shortfall exists, the Servicer shall make a supplemental remittance, to the General Subaccount of the Collection Account within ten (10) days, or (B) if an Excess Remittance exists, the Servicer will reduce the Daily Remittance(s) over the next month following the date of the Reconciliation Certificate to the Indenture Trustee. If there is a Remittance Shortfall, the amount which the Servicer remits to the General Subaccount of the Collection Account on the relevant date set forth above shall be increased by the amount of such Remittance Shortfall, such increase coming from the Servicer’s own funds.

(d) The Servicer acknowledges and agrees that the Issuer is the owner of and has the legal right to all Fixed Recovery Charges received by the Servicer, and that the daily and reconciliation calculations and remittances permitted by this Servicing Agreement, which are based upon estimates of the Fixed Recovery Charges received by the Servicer, is made for convenience and cost effectiveness given the current billing system of the Servicer. The Servicer agrees that in the event any Servicer Default hereunder or if otherwise required or permitted, as provided in Section 6(e)(ii) of Annex I, the Servicer, upon demand of the Indenture Trustee, will promptly, but not later than 60 days follow such request, provide to the Indenture Trustee a reconciliation of actual Fixed Recovery Charges received by the Servicer and the Fixed Recovery Charges remitted by the Servicer.

(e) Unless otherwise directed to do so by the Issuer, the Servicer shall be responsible for selecting Eligible Investments in which the funds in each Collection Account shall be invested pursuant to Section 8.03 of the Indenture.

ARTICLE VII

DEFAULT

SECTION 7.01. Servicer Default.

If any one or more of the following events (each, a “Servicer Default”) shall occur and be continuing:

(a) any failure by the Servicer to remit to the Collection Account on behalf of the Issuer any required remittance that shall continue unremedied for a period of five (5) Business Days after written notice of such failure is received by the Servicer from the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee or after discovery of such failure by an officer of the Servicer; or

(b) any failure on the part of the Servicer or, so long as the Servicer is PG&E or an Affiliate thereof, any failure on the part of PG&E, as the case may be, duly to observe or to perform in any material respect any covenants or agreements of the Servicer or PG&E, as the case may be, set forth in this Agreement (other than as provided in clause (a) of this Section 7.01) or any other Basic Document to which it is a party, which failure shall (i) materially and adversely affect the rights of the Holders and (ii) continue unremedied for a period of sixty (60) days after the date on which (A) written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to the Servicer or PG&E, as the case may be, by the Issuer (with a copy to the Indenture Trustee) or to the Servicer or PG&E, as the case may be, by the Indenture Trustee or (B) such failure is discovered by an officer of the Servicer; or

(c) any failure by the Servicer duly to perform its obligations under Section 4.01(b) of this Agreement in the time and manner set forth therein, which failure continues unremedied for a period of five (5) Business Days; or

(d) any representation or warranty made by the Servicer in this Agreement or any Basic Document shall prove to have been incorrect in a material respect when made, which has a material adverse effect on the Holders and which material adverse effect continues unremedied for a period of sixty (60) days after the date on which (A) written notice thereof, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been delivered to the Servicer (with a copy to the Indenture Trustee) by the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee or (B) such failure is discovered by an officer of the Servicer; or

(e) an Insolvency Event occurs with respect to the Servicer or PG&E;

then, and in each and every case, so long as the Servicer Default shall not have been remedied, either the Indenture Trustee, or the Holders of Recovery Bonds evidencing not less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Recovery Bonds, by notice then given in writing to the Servicer (and to the Indenture Trustee if given by the Bondholders) (a “Termination Notice”) may terminate all the rights and obligations of the Servicer, subject to compliance with Section 7.02. In addition, upon a Servicer Default described in Section 7.01(a), each of the following shall be entitled to apply to the CPUC for sequestration and payment of revenues arising with respect to the Recovery Property: (i) the holders of any Recovery Bonds and any Indenture Trustee or representative thereof as beneficiaries of any statutory or other Lien permitted by the Wildfire Financing Law; (ii) the Issuer or its assignees; or (iii) pledgees or transferees, including transferees under Section 850.4 of the Wildfire Financing Law, of the Recovery Property. On or after the receipt by the Servicer of a Termination Notice, all authority and power of the Servicer under this Agreement, whether with respect to the Recovery Bonds, the Recovery Property, the Fixed Recovery Charges or otherwise, shall, without further action, pass to and be vested in such successor Servicer as may be appointed under Section 7.02; and, without limitation, the Indenture Trustee is hereby authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of the predecessor Servicer, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, any and all documents and other instruments, and to do or accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such Termination Notice, whether to complete the transfer of the Recovery Property Records and related documents, or otherwise. The predecessor Servicer shall cooperate with the successor Servicer, the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee in effecting the termination of the responsibilities and rights of the predecessor Servicer under this Agreement, including the transfer to the successor Servicer for administration by it of all Recovery Property Records and all cash amounts that shall at the time be held by the predecessor Servicer for remittance, or shall thereafter be received by it with respect to the Recovery Property or the Fixed Recovery Charges. As soon as practicable after receipt by the Servicer of such Termination Notice, the Servicer shall deliver the Recovery Property Records to the successor Servicer. In case a successor Servicer is appointed as a result of a Servicer Default, all reasonable costs and

expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses) incurred in connection with transferring the Recovery Property Records to the successor Servicer and amending this Agreement to reflect such succession as Servicer pursuant to this Section 7.01 shall be paid by the predecessor Servicer upon presentation of reasonable documentation of such costs and expenses. Termination of PG&E as Servicer shall not terminate PG&E’s rights or obligations under the Sale Agreement (except rights thereunder deriving from its rights as the Servicer hereunder).

SECTION 7.02. Appointment of Successor.

(a) Upon the Servicer’s receipt of a Termination Notice pursuant to Section 7.01 or the Servicer’s resignation or removal in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the predecessor Servicer shall continue to perform its functions as Servicer under this Agreement, and shall be entitled to receive the requisite portion of the Servicing Fee, until a successor Servicer shall have assumed in writing the obligations of the Servicer hereunder as described below. In the event of the Servicer’s termination, removal or resignation hereunder, the Issuer shall appoint a successor Servicer with the Indenture Trustee’s prior written consent thereto (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) and the written approval of the CPUC, and the successor Servicer shall accept its appointment by a written assumption in form acceptable to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee. If within 30 days after the delivery of the Termination Notice, the Issuer shall not have obtained such a new Servicer, the Indenture Trustee may petition the CPUC or a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint a successor Servicer under this Agreement. A Person shall qualify as a successor Servicer only if (i) such Person is permitted under CPUC Regulations to perform the duties of the Servicer, (ii) the Rating Agency Condition shall have been satisfied and (iii) such Person enters into a servicing agreement with the Issuer having substantially the same provisions as this Agreement. In no event shall the Indenture Trustee be liable for its or the Issuer’s appointment of a successor Servicer. The Indenture Trustee’s expenses incurred under this Section 7.02(a) shall be at the sole expense of the Issuer and payable from the Collection Account as provided in Section 8.02 of the Indenture.

(b) Upon appointment, the successor Servicer shall be the successor in all respects to the predecessor Servicer and shall be subject to all the responsibilities, duties and liabilities arising thereafter relating thereto placed on the predecessor Servicer and shall be entitled to the Servicing Fee and all the rights granted to the predecessor Servicer by the terms and provisions of this Agreement.

SECTION 7.03. Waiver of Past Defaults.

The Holders of Recovery Bonds evidencing not less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Recovery Bonds may, on behalf of all Bondholders, direct the Indenture Trustee to waive in writing any default by the Servicer in the performance of its obligations hereunder and its consequences, except a default in making any required remittances to the Indenture Trustee for deposit to the Collection Account in accordance with this Agreement. Upon any such waiver of a past default, such default shall cease to exist, and any Servicer Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been remedied for every purpose of this Agreement. No such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereto.

SECTION 7.04. Notice of Servicer Default.

The Servicer shall deliver to the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the CPUC and the Rating Agencies, promptly after having obtained knowledge thereof, but in no event later than five (5) Business Days thereafter, written notice of any event which with the giving of notice or lapse of time, or both, would become a Servicer Default under Section 7.01.

Nothing in this Section 8.02(b) shall affect the obligation of the Servicer to observe any applicable law (including any CPUC Regulation) prohibiting disclosure of information regarding the Consumers, and the failure of the Servicer to provide access to such information as a result of such obligation shall not constitute a breach of this Section 8.02(b).

Recovery Property Servicing Agreement

ANNEX I

SERVICING PROCEDURES

The Servicer agrees to comply with the following servicing procedures:

SECTION 1. DEFINITIONS.

(a) Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings specified in the Recovery Property Servicing Agreement (the “Agreement”) to which this Annex I is attached.

(b) Whenever used in this Annex I, the following words and phrases shall have the following meanings:

“Applicable MDMA” means with respect to each Consumer, the meter data management agent providing meter reading services for that Consumer’s account.

“Billed FRCs” means the amounts of Fixed Recovery Charges billed by the Servicer, whether billed directly to Consumers by the Servicer.

“Collections Curve” means the collections curve that is expressed as a percentage measured at each of six consecutive 30-day intervals and represents the ratio of accumulative daily collections to the total amount billed to a sample customer population.

“Full Consolidated ESP Billing” means the billing procedures pursuant to which, subject to the Servicer’s approval and consent, an ESP will be responsible for reading the meter, calculating and collecting all utility charges to Consumers served by such ESP and by the Servicer, including the Fixed Recovery Charges, and will become obligated to the Servicer for such Billed FRC Revenues, all in accordance with the Servicer Policies and Practices. In Full Consolidated ESP Billing, an ESP is responsible for the accuracy of calculating and collecting the Fixed Recovery Charges. Unless the context indicates otherwise, the term Full Consolidated ESP Billing includes Partial Consolidated ESP Billing.

“Partial Consolidated ESP Billing” means the billing procedures pursuant to which the Servicer will be responsible for calculating the utility charges to Consumers served by the Servicer, including the Fixed Recovery Charges, and sending such calculations to an ESP, which will then be responsible for billing and collecting all utility charges to Consumers served by such ESP and by the Servicer, including the Fixed Recovery Charges. In Partial Consolidated ESP Billing, an ESP is not responsible for the accuracy of the calculating and collecting Fixed Recovery Charges.

“Servicer Policies and Practices” means, with respect to the Servicer’s duties under this Annex I, the policies and practices of the Servicer applicable to such duties that the Servicer follows with respect to comparable assets that it services for itself and, if applicable, others.

EXHIBIT A

SECTION 2. DATA ACQUISITION.

(a) Installation and Maintenance of Meters. Except to the extent that an ESP is responsible for such services pursuant to an ESP Agreement, the Servicer shall use its best efforts to cause to be installed, replaced and maintained meters in such places and in such condition as will enable the Servicer to obtain usage measurements for each Consumer at least once every Billing Period. If Consumers are billed by entities other than the Servicer or an ESP, the Servicer shall request these other entities to xxxx those Consumers for the Fixed Recovery Charge and to remit the Fixed Recovery Charge Revenues to the Servicer on behalf of those Consumers. The Servicer shall have no other responsibility to xxxx or collect Fixed Recovery Charges from or in respect of Consumers billed by entities other than ESPs.

(b) Meter Reading. At least once each Billing Period, the Servicer shall obtain usage measurements from the Applicable MDMA for each Consumer; provided, however, that the Servicer may estimate any Consumer’s usage determined in accordance with applicable CPUC Regulations and Servicer Policies and Practices; and, provided, further, that the Servicer may obtain usage measurements from the Applicable ESP for Consumers receiving services from such ESP if the respective ESP Service Agreement so provides.

(c) Cost of Metering. The Issuer shall not be obligated to pay any costs associated with the routine metering duties set forth in this Section 2, including the costs of installing, replacing and maintaining meters, nor shall the Issuer be entitled to any credit against the Servicing Fee for any cost savings realized by the Servicer as a result of new metering and/or billing technologies.

SECTION 3. USAGE AND XXXX CALCULATION.

The Servicer (a) shall obtain a calculation of each Consumer’s usage (which may be based on data obtained from such Consumer’s meter read or on usage estimates determined in accordance with the Servicer Policies and Practices and applicable CPUC Regulations) at least once each Billing Period and shall determine therefrom each Consumer’s individual Fixed Recovery Charge to be included on such Consumer’s Xxxx; provided, however, that in the case of Consumers served by an ESP under Full Consolidated ESP Billing, the Applicable ESP, rather than the Servicer, shall determine such Consumers’ total Fixed Recovery Charges to be included on such Consumers’ Bills based on specific Fixed Recovery Charges (cents per kilowatt hour rates) provided by the Servicer, and the Servicer shall deliver to the Applicable ESPs such specific cents per kilowatt hour rates as are necessary for the Applicable ESPs to calculate such Consumers’ respective Fixed Recovery Charges as such charges may change from time to time pursuant to the True-Up Adjustments.

SECTION 4. BILLING.

The Servicer shall implement the Fixed Recovery Charges as of the Billing Commencement Date and shall thereafter xxxx each Consumer or the Applicable ESP, for the respective Consumer’s outstanding current and past due Fixed Recovery Charges accruing through the date on which the Fixed Recovery Charges may no longer be billed under the Tariff, all in accordance with the following:

Annex I-2

(a) Frequency of Bills; Billing Practices. In accordance with the Servicer’s then-existing Servicer Policies and Practices for its own charges, as such Servicer Policies and Practices may be modified from time to time, the Servicer shall generate and issue a Xxxx to each Consumer, or, in the case of a Consumer subject to Partial Consolidated ESP Billing, to the Applicable ESP, for such Consumers’ Fixed Recovery Charges once every applicable Billing Period, at the same time, with the same frequency and on the same Xxxx as that containing the Servicer’s own charges to such Consumers or ESPs, as the case may be. In the event that the Servicer makes any material modification to its Servicer Policies and Practices for its own charges, it shall notify the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the CPUC and the Rating Agencies as soon as practicable, and in no event later than 60 Business Days after such modification goes into effect; provided, however, that the Servicer may not make any modification that will materially adversely affect the Bondholders.

(b) Format.

(i) The Servicer shall conform to such requirements regarding the format, structure and text of Bills delivered to Consumers and ESPs as this Agreement, the Financing Order, the Wildfire Financing Law and applicable CPUC Regulations shall from time to time prescribe. To the extent that Xxxx format, structure and text are not prescribed by this Agreement, the Financing Order, the Wildfire Financing Law or by applicable CPUC Regulations, the Servicer shall determine the format, structure and text of all Bills in accordance with its reasonable business judgment, its Servicer Policies and Practices with respect to its own charges and prevailing industry standards.

(c) Delivery. The Servicer shall deliver all Bills issued by it (i) by United States mail in such class or classes as are consistent with the Servicer Policies and Practices followed by the Servicer with respect to its own charges to its Consumers or (ii) by any other means, whether electronic or otherwise, that the Servicer may from time to time use to present its own charges to its Consumers. In the case of Consumers that are subject to Partial Consolidated ESP Billing, the Servicer shall deliver all Bills or charges to the Applicable ESPs by such means as are mutually agreed upon by the Servicer and the Applicable ESP and are consistent with CPUC Regulations. The Servicer or an ESP, as applicable, shall pay from its own funds all costs of issuance and delivery of all Bills, including but not limited to printing and postage costs as the same may increase or decrease from time to time.

SECTION 5. CUSTOMER SERVICE FUNCTIONS.

Annex I-4

(ii) The Servicer may in its own discretion waive any late payment charge or any other fee or charge relating to delinquent payments, if any, and may waive, vary or modify any terms of payment of any amounts payable by a Consumer, in each case if such waiver or action: (A) would be in accordance with the Servicer’s customary practices or those of any successor Servicer with respect to comparable assets that it services for itself and for others; (B) would not materially adversely affect the rights of the Holders as evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate of the Issuer; and (C) would comply with applicable law; provided, however, that notwithstanding anything in the Agreement or this Annex I to the contrary, the Servicer is authorized to write off any Billed FRCs, in accordance with its Servicer Policies and Practices.

(iii) The Servicer shall accept payment from Consumers in respect of Billed FRCs in such forms and methods and at such times and places as it accepts for payment of its own charges.

(iii) Any amounts collected by the Servicer that represent partial payments of the total Xxxx to a Consumer or ESP shall be allocated as follows: (A) first to amounts owed to the Issuer, PG&E and any other affiliate of PG&E which is owed “fixed recovery charges” as defined in Section 850(b)(7) of the Wildfire Financing Law and other fees and charges, (excluding any late fees), regardless of age, pro rata in proportion to the ratio of billed amounts for the Fixed Recovery Charges to the total billed amount; then (B) all late charges shall be allocated to the Servicer; provided that penalty payments owed on late payments of Fixed Recovery Charges shall be allocated to the Issuer in accordance with the terms of the Tariff.

(iv) The Servicer shall hold all over-payments for the benefit of the Issuer and PG&E and shall apply such funds to future Xxxx charges in accordance with clauses (ii) and (iii) as such charges become due.

The Servicer shall maintain accounts and records as to the Recovery Property accurately and in accordance with its standard accounting procedures and in sufficient detail (i) to permit reconciliation between payments or recoveries with respect to the Recovery Property and the amounts from time to time remitted to the Collection Account in respect of the Recovery Property and (ii) to permit the FRC Collections held by the Servicer to be accounted for separately from the funds with which they may be commingled, so that the dollar amounts of FRC Collections commingled with the Servicer’s funds may be properly identified and traced.

(d) Investment of Fixed Recovery Charge Payments Received.

Prior to each Daily Remittance, the Servicer may invest Fixed Recovery Charge Payments received at its own risk and (except as required by applicable CPUC Regulations) for its own benefit. So long as the Servicer complies with its obligations under Section 6(c), neither such investments nor such funds shall be required to be segregated from the other investment and funds of the Servicer.

(e) Calculation of Daily Remittance.

(i) For purposes of calculating the Daily Remittance, the Servicer shall, on each Servicer Business Day, estimate FRC Collections using the then-current Collections Curve, which resulting estimate shall constitute the amount of Estimated FRC Collections for such Servicer Business Day. Pursuant to Section 6.11(c) of the Agreement, not less than semi-annually (except in the case of the First Payment Period, which may be longer than six months), but in no event more than sixty (60) days after each Payment Date, the Servicer shall calculate the amount of Actual FRC Collections for the immediately preceding Reconciliation Period as compared to the Estimated FRC Collections forwarded to the Collection Account in respect of such Reconciliation Period. For purposes of such calculation, the Servicer may calculate Actual FRC Collections using an updated Collections Curve prepared by the Servicer for the most recent six-month period. Such calculation will be provided to the Indenture Trustee in a Reconciliation Certificate in substantially the form appended to the Agreement as Exhibit F.

(ii) Reserved.

(iii) All calculations of collections, each update of the Collections Curve and any changes in procedures used to calculate the Estimated FRC Collections pursuant to this Section 6(e) shall be made in good faith, and in the case of any change in procedures pursuant to clause (ii) above, in a manner reasonably intended to provide estimates and calculations that are at least as accurate as those that would be provided on the Billing Commencement Date utilizing the initial procedures.

(f) Remittances.

(i) The Issuer shall cause to be established the Collection Account in the name of the Indenture Trustee in accordance with the Indenture.

(ii) The Servicer shall make remittances to the Collection Account in accordance with Section 6.11 of the Agreement.

(iii) In the event of any change of account or change of institution affecting any Collection Account, the Issuer shall provide written notice thereof to the Servicer and the Rating Agencies not later than five (5) Business Days from the effective date of such change.

Public Utilities Commission of the State of California


Subject:		Routine [Annual (and at least quarterly beginning 12 months prior to the last scheduled final payment date of the last maturing tranche of a series of Recovery Bonds)] / [Mandatory Semi-Annual] / [Interim] True-Up Mechanism Advice Letter for Fixed Recovery Charges

Pursuant to California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) Decision (D.) 00-00-000 (Decision), Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E), as servicer of the Recovery Bonds (Recovery Bonds) and on behalf of the Special Purpose Entity, hereby applies for adjustment to the Fixed Recovery Charge for series _________, Tranche(s) __________ of the Recovery Bonds.

Purpose:

This submission establishes revised Fixed Recovery Charges for rate schedules for Consumers, as set forth in D.00-00-000.

Background:

In D.00-00-000, the CPUC granted PG&E authority to issue Recovery Bonds to finance certain costs and expenses related to catastrophic wildfires, including fire risk mitigation capital expenditures identified in subdivision (e) of Section 8386.3 of the Public Utilities Code, and associated financing costs.

Recovery Bonds are securities that are backed by the cash flows generated by a specific asset that has been sold by PG&E to a Special Purpose Entity that issued the Recovery Bonds secured by this asset. The asset sold is Recovery Property, a current property right that was created by Article 5.8 as the right, title and interest in and to all (i) Fixed Recovery Charges established pursuant to the Financing Order, including all rights to obtain adjustments, and (ii) revenues, collections, claims, payments, monies, or proceeds of or arising from the Fixed Recovery Charges that will cover debt service and all Ongoing Financing Costs, including any draws on the capital subaccount, as authorized in D.00-00-000.

EXHIBIT D-1

In D.00-00-000, the Commission authorized PG&E to submit Routine True-Up Mechanism Advice Letters at least annually, before each March 1, semi-annually if required by the servicer before the Semi-Annual Adjustment Date, and more frequently as required by the servicer as permitted in the Financing Order. These submissions are intended to ensure that the actual revenues collected under the Fixed Recovery Charges will be sufficient to make all scheduled payments of Bond principal, interest, and other Ongoing Financing Costs on a timely basis during each of the two payment periods following the date of adjustment, including the replenishment of any draws upon the capital subaccount. The first payment period means the period commencing on an adjustment date and ending (and including) the first Payment Date following the adjustment (the “First Payment Period”); the second payment period means the period commencing on the day following the first Payment Date following the adjustment date and ending on (and including) the next Payment Date (the “Second Payment Period”). Routine True-up Mechanism Advice Letter submissions are those where PG&E uses the cost allocation and rate design methodology and Fixed Recovery Charge and cash flow method (collectively, the “adjustment mechanism”) found reasonable by the Commission in D.00-00-000 to revise existing Fixed Recovery Charges.

Using the adjustment mechanism approved by the Commission in D.00-00-000, this submission modifies the variables used in the Fixed Recovery Charge calculations and provides the resulting modified Fixed Recovery Charges.

Table 1 shows estimated Ongoing Financing Costs for the next two payment periods to be recovered through Fixed Recovery Charges in accordance with the Financing Order.

FORM OF NON-ROUTINE TRUE-UP MECHANISM ADVICE LETTER

[date]

Application ________-E

(Pacific Gas and Electric Company ID U 39-E)

Public Utilities Commission of the State of California

Subject:

Non-Routine True-Up Mechanism Advice Letter

Purpose

This submission establishes revised Fixed Recovery Charges for rate schedules for Consumers, as set forth in D.00-00-000.

Background

In D.00-00-000, the Commission granted PG&E authority to issue Recovery Bonds to finance certain costs and expenses related to catastrophic wildfires, including fire risk mitigation capital expenditures identified in subdivision (e) of Section 8386.3 of the Public Utilities Code, and associated financing costs.

Recovery Bonds are securities that are backed by the cash flows generated by a specific asset that will be sold by PG&E to a Special Purpose Entity that issued the Recovery Bonds secured by this asset. The asset sold is Recovery Property, a current property right that was created by Article 5.8 as the right, title and interest in and to all (i) Fixed Recovery Charges established pursuant to the Financing Order, including all rights to obtain adjustments, and (ii) revenues, collections, claims, payments, monies, or proceeds of or arising from the Fixed Recovery Charges that will cover debt service and all related Recovery Bond costs.

In D.00-00-000, the Commission authorized PG&E to submit Non-Routine True-up Mechanism Advice Letters to propose revisions to the logic, structure and components of the cash flow model adopted by the Financing Order. These submissions are intended to ensure that the actual revenues collected under the Fixed Recovery Charges will be sufficient to make all scheduled payments of Bond principal, interest, and other Ongoing Financing Costs on a timely basis during the current or next succeeding payment period, including the replenishment of any draws upon the capital subaccount. Non-Routine True-up Mechanism Advice Letter submissions are those where PG&E uses the method found reasonable by the Commission in D.00-00-000 to revise existing Fixed Recovery Charges.

EXHIBIT E-1

Using the cash flow model attached to this Non-Routine True-Up Mechanism Advice Letter as Exhibit 1, this submission modifies the logic, structure and/or variables used in the Fixed Recovery Charge calculations and provides the resulting modified Fixed Recovery Charges.

Table 1 shows estimated Ongoing Financing Costs for the next two payment periods to be recovered through Fixed Recovery Charges in accordance with the Financing Order.
