(ix) on and as of the Closing Date, each of the LLC Agreement, the Servicing Agreement, this Agreement, the Indenture, the Financing Order, the Tariff and the Wildfire Financing Law shall be in full force and effect; and

(x) the Seller shall have delivered to the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer an Officers’ Certificate confirming the satisfaction of each condition precedent specified in this Section 2.02.

SECTION 3.08. The Recovery Property.

(a) Information. Subject to subsection (f) below, at the Closing Date, all written information, as amended or supplemented from time to time, provided by the Seller to the Issuer with respect to the Recovery Property is true and correct in all material respects.

(b) Title. It is the intention of the parties hereto that (other than for federal income tax purposes and, to the extent consistent with applicable state tax law, state income and franchise tax purposes) the transfers and assignments herein contemplated each constitute a sale and absolute transfer of the Recovery Property from the Seller to the Issuer and that no interest in, or right or title to, the Recovery Property shall be part of the Seller’s estate in the event of the filing of a bankruptcy petition by or against the Seller under any bankruptcy law. No portion of the Recovery Property has been sold, transferred, assigned or pledged or otherwise conveyed by the Seller to any Person other than the Issuer, and no security agreement, financing statement or equivalent security or lien instrument listing the Seller as debtor covering all or any part of the Recovery Property is on file or of record in any jurisdiction, except such as may have been filed, recorded

6

or made in favor of the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee in connection with the Basic Documents. The Seller has not authorized the filing of and is not aware (after due inquiry) of any financing statement against it that includes a description of collateral including the Recovery Property other than any financing statement filed, recorded or made in favor of the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee in connection with the Basic Documents. The Seller is not aware (after due inquiry) of any judgment or tax lien filings against either the Seller or the Issuer. At the Closing Date, immediately prior to the sale of the Recovery Property hereunder, the Seller is the original and the sole owner of the Recovery Property free and clear of all Liens and rights of any other Person, and no offsets, defenses or counterclaims exist or have been asserted with respect thereto.

(c) Transfer Filings. On the Closing Date, immediately upon the sale under this Agreement, the Recovery Property transferred on the Closing Date shall be validly transferred and sold to the Issuer, the Issuer shall own all such Recovery Property, free and clear of all Liens, except for the Lien arising under Section 850.3(g) of the Wildfire Financing Law, the Financing Order and the Issuance Advice Letter, and all filings (including filings with the Secretary of State of California under the Wildfire Financing Law) necessary in any jurisdiction to give the Issuer a perfected ownership interest in the Recovery Property shall have been made.

(d) Financing Order, Issuance Advice Letter and Tariff; Other Approvals. Under the laws of the State of California (including the Wildfire Financing Law) and the United States in effect on the Closing Date: (i) the Financing Order and the Issuance Advice Letter pursuant to which the rights and the interests of the Seller have been created, including the right to impose, collect and receive the Fixed Recovery Charges and the interest in and to the Recovery Property is in full force and effect, and the Seller has validly and irrevocably consented to the terms of the Financing Order, (ii) as of the Closing Date, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 850.1(g) of the Wildfire Financing Law, the Recovery Bonds are entitled to the protection provided in the first sentence of Section 850.1(e) and the first sentence of Section 850.2(f) of the Wildfire Financing Law, (iii) as of the Closing Date, the Tariff has been filed with the CPUC in accordance with the Financing Order, (iv) the process by which the Financing Order was approved and the Financing Order, the Issuance Advice Letter and the Tariff comply with all applicable laws and regulations and the Seller has provided the certification to the CPUC required by the Issuance Advice Letter, (v) the Issuance Advice Letter and the Tariff have been filed in accordance with the Financing Order, (vi) no other approval, authorization, consent, order or other action of, or filing with any governmental authority is required on the part of the Seller in connection with the creation of the Recovery Property, except those that have been obtained or made, and (vii) under the “contract clause” of the U.S. Constitution and the “contract clause” of the California Constitution, Holders of the Recovery Bonds could, absent a demonstration by the State of California that such action is necessary to further a significant and legitimate public purpose, successfully challenge the constitutionality of any legislative action that limits, alters, impairs or reduces the value of the recovery property or the fixed recovery charges so as to impair (a) the terms of the indenture or the bonds or (b) the rights and remedies of the bondholders determined by such court to limit, alter, impair or reduce the value of the recovery property or the fixed recovery charges prior to the time that the bonds are fully paid and discharged.

7

(e) State Action. Under the Wildfire Financing Law, the State of California has pledged that it will not take or permit any action that would impair the value of the Recovery Property transferred on such date, or, except as permitted by Section 850.1(g) of the Wildfire Financing Law, reduce, alter or impair the Fixed Recovery Charges relating to the Recovery Property until the principal, interest and premium and any other charges incurred and contracts to be performed in connection with the Recovery Bonds relating to the Recovery Property have been paid and performed in full. Under the laws of the State of California and the United States, any law enacted by the State of California, whether by legislation or voter initiative, that repeals or amends the Wildfire Financing Law or take any other action in contravention of the State pledge would constitute a “taking,” for which just compensation must be paid, if, for a public use, either the law (a) constituted a permanent appropriation of a substantial property interest of the bondholders in the recovery property or denied all economically productive use of the Recovery Property; (b) destroyed the recovery property other than in response to emergency conditions; or (c) substantially reduced, altered or impaired the value of the recovery property so as to unduly interfere with the reasonable expectations of the bondholders arising from their investments in the Recovery Bonds. There is no assurance, however, that, even if a court were to award just compensation it would be sufficient to pay the full amount of principal and interest on the Recovery Bonds.

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

(g) Creation of Recovery Property. Upon the filing of the Issuance Advice Letter with respect to the Recovery Property pursuant to the Financing Order: (i) the related rights and interests of the Seller under the Financing Order, including the right to impose, collect and receive the Fixed Recovery Charges established pursuant to the Financing Order, will become Recovery Property, (ii) the Recovery Property will constitute a current property right, (iii) the Recovery Property will include the right, title and interest of the Seller to the Tariff imposing the Fixed Recovery Charges, and the right to obtain periodic true-up adjustments of the Fixed Recovery Charges, (iv) the owner of the Recovery Property will be legally entitled to bill Fixed Recovery Charges and collect payments in respect of the Fixed Recovery Charges in the aggregate amount sufficient to pay or fund, in accordance with the Indenture, the principal of the Recovery Bonds, all interest thereon, and all other Ongoing Financing Costs, and (v) the Recovery Property will not be subject to any Lien, except for the lien arising under Section 850.3(g) of the Wildfire Financing Law, the Financing Order and the Issuance Advice Letter.

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

8

(i) Under existing law as of the Closing Date, Holders will not be responsible for, nor will payments to Holders be reduced by, any sales tax, gross receipts tax, general corporation tax, single business tax, personal property tax, privilege tax, franchise or license tax, or other tax imposed on the Seller or the Issuer as a result of the sale and assignment of the Recovery Property by the Seller to the Issuer, the acquisition of the Recovery Property by the Issuer or the issuance and sale by the Issuer of the Recovery Bonds, other than withholding of taxes applicable to Recovery Bond payments and any taxes imposed as a result of a failure of the Issuer or the Seller to properly withhold or remit taxes imposed with respect to payments on any Recovery Bond.

(j) Prospectus. As of the date hereof, the information describing the Seller under the caption “The Depositor, Seller, Initial Servicer and Sponsor” in the prospectus dated November 18, 2022 relating to the Bonds is true and correct in all material respects.

(k) No Court Order. There is no order by any court providing for the revocation, alteration, limitation or other impairment of the Wildfire Financing Law, the Financing Order, the Recovery Property or the Fixed Recovery Charges or any rights arising under any of them or that seeks to enjoin the performance of any obligations under the Financing Order.

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

SECTION 3.09. Change in Law.

The representations and warranties in this Agreement speak as of the Closing Date. Any change in the law by legislative enactment, constitutional amendment or voter initiative that renders untrue any of the representations or warranties in this Agreement will not constitute a breach under this Agreement.

SECTION 3.10. Limitations on Representations and Warranties.

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

SECTION 4.05. Compliance with Law.

11

The Seller also agrees to take those legal or administrative actions that may be reasonably necessary (i) to protect the Issuer and Secured Parties from claims, state actions or other actions or proceedings of third parties which, if successfully pursued, would

12

result in a breach of any representation or warranty of the Seller set forth in Article III, and the costs of any such actions or proceedings will be paid by the Seller and (ii) to block or overturn any attempts to cause a repeal of, modification of or supplement to the Wildfire Financing Law, the Financing Order, the Issuance Advice Letter or the rights of Holders by legislative enactment or constitutional amendment that would be materially adverse to the Issuer or the Secured Parties or which would otherwise cause an impairment of the rights of the Issuer or the Secured Parties.

MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

SECTION 6.01. Amendment.

This Agreement may be amended in writing by the Seller and the Issuer with ten (10) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Rating Agencies, but without the consent of any of the Holders (i) to cure any ambiguity, to correct or supplement any provisions in this Agreement or for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions in this Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders; provided, however, that such action shall not, as evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee, adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Holder or (ii) to conform the provisions hereof to the description of this Agreement in the Prospectus. Promptly after execution of any such amendment or consent, the Issuer shall furnish copies of such amendment or consent to each of the Rating Agencies.

In addition, this Agreement may be amended in writing by the Seller and the Issuer with (i) the prior written consent of the Indenture Trustee, (ii) the satisfaction of the Rating Agency Condition, and (iii) if any amendment would adversely affect in any material respect the interest of any Holder of the Bonds, the consent of a majority of the Holders of each affected Tranche of Bonds. In determining whether a majority of Holders have consented, Bonds owned by the Issuer, Seller or any Affiliate of the Issuer or Seller shall be disregarded, except that, in determining whether the Indenture Trustee shall be protected in relying upon any such consent, the Indenture Trustee shall only be required to disregard any Bonds it actually knows to be so owned. Promptly after the execution of any such amendment or consent, the Issuer shall furnish copies of such amendment or consent to each of the Rating Agencies.

It shall not be necessary for the consent of Holders pursuant to this Section to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment or consent, but it shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve the substance thereof.

Prior to the execution of any amendment to this Agreement, the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to receive and rely upon an Opinion of Counsel from external counsel of the Seller stating that the execution of such amendment is authorized or permitted by this Agreement and that all conditions precedent have been satisfied and the Opinion of Counsel referred to in Section 3.01(c)(i) of the Servicing Agreement.

SECTION 6.05. Severability.

Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remainder of such provision (if any) or the remaining provisions hereof (unless such construction shall be unreasonable), and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

SECTION 6.06. Separate Counterparts.

It is expressly understood and agreed by the parties hereto that this Agreement is executed and delivered by the Indenture Trustee, not individually or personally but solely as Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Secured Parties, in the exercise of the powers and authority conferred and vested in it. The Indenture Trustee in acting hereunder is entitled to all rights, benefits, protections, immunities and indemnities accorded to it under the Indenture.

SECTION 6.11. Waivers.

Any term or provision of this Agreement may be waived, or the time for its performance may be extended, by the party or parties entitled to the benefit thereof; provided, however, that no such waiver delivered by the Issuer shall be effective unless the Indenture Trustee has given its prior written consent thereto. Any such waiver shall be validly and sufficiently authorized for the purposes of this Agreement if, as to any party, it is authorized in writing by an authorized representative of such party. The failure of any party hereto to enforce at any time any provision of this Agreement shall not be construed to be a waiver of such provision, nor in any way to affect the validity of this Agreement or any part hereof or the right of any party thereafter to enforce each and every such provision. No waiver of any breach of this Agreement shall be held to constitute a waiver of any other or subsequent breach.
