For purposes herein, “Series Supplement” means that certain Series Supplement dated as of August 1, 2024, between the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee. All terms used in this Tranche [-] Recovery Bond that are defined in the Indenture, as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Indenture.

The Tranche [-] Recovery Bonds, the other Tranches of Recovery Bonds (all of such Tranches being referred to herein as “Recovery Bonds”) are and will be equally and ratably secured by the Recovery Bond Collateral pledged as security therefor as provided in the Indenture.

The principal of this Tranche [-] Recovery Bond shall be payable on each Payment Date only to the extent that amounts in the Collection Account are available therefor, and only until the outstanding principal balance thereof on the preceding Payment Date (after giving effect to all payments of principal, if any, made on the preceding Payment Date) has been reduced to the principal balance specified in the Expected Amortization Schedule which is attached to the Series Supplement as Schedule A, unless payable earlier because an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the Indenture Trustee or the Bondholders representing not less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Recovery Bonds have declared the Recovery Bonds to be immediately due and payable in accordance with Section 5.02 of the Indenture (unless such declaration shall have been rescinded and annulled in accordance with Section 5.02 of the Indenture). However, actual principal payments may be made in lesser than expected amounts and at later than expected times as determined pursuant to Section 8.02 of the Indenture. The entire unpaid principal amount of this Tranche [-] Recovery Bond shall be due and payable on the Final Maturity Date hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the entire unpaid principal amount of the Recovery Bonds shall be due and payable, if not then previously paid, on the date on which an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the Indenture Trustee or the Holders of the Recovery Bonds representing not less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Recovery Bonds have declared the Recovery Bonds to be immediately due and payable in the manner provided in Section 5.02 of the Indenture (unless such declaration shall have been rescinded and annulled in accordance with Section 5.02 of the Indenture).

* | The form of the reverse of a Recovery Bond is substantially as follows, unless otherwise specified in the Series Supplement.

14

Payments of interest on this Tranche [-] Recovery Bond due and payable on each Payment Date, together with the installment of principal or premium, if any, shall be made by wire transfer to an account maintained by the Person whose name appears as the Registered Holder of this Tranche [-] Recovery Bond (or one or more Predecessor Recovery Bonds) on the Recovery Bond Register as of the close of business on the Record Date or in such other manner as may be provided in the Indenture or the Series Supplement, except that if this Tranche [-] Recovery Bond is held in Book-Entry Form, payments will be made by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account designated by the Holder of the applicable Global Recovery Bond evidencing this Tranche [-] Recovery Bond unless and until such Global Recovery Bond is exchanged for Definitive Recovery Bonds (in which event payments shall be made as provided above), and except for the final installment of principal and premium, if any, payable with respect to this Tranche [-] Recovery Bond on a Payment Date which shall be payable as provided below. Any reduction in the principal amount of this Tranche [-] Recovery Bond (or any one or more Predecessor Recovery Bonds) effected by any payments made on any Payment Date shall be binding upon all future Holders of this Tranche [-] Recovery Bond and of any Recovery Bond issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof, whether or not noted hereon. If funds are expected to be available, as provided in the Indenture, for payment in full of the then remaining unpaid principal amount of this Tranche [-] Recovery Bond on a Payment Date, then the Indenture Trustee, in the name of and on behalf of the Issuer, will notify the Person who was the Registered Holder hereof as of the Record Date preceding such Payment Date by notice sent no later than five (5) days prior to such final Payment Date and shall specify that such final installment will be payable only upon presentation and surrender of this Tranche [-] Recovery Bond and shall specify the place where this Tranche [-] Recovery Bond may be presented and surrendered for payment of such installment.

The Issuer shall pay interest on overdue installments of interest at the Recovery Bond Interest Rate to the extent lawful.

This Recovery Bond is a “recovery bond” as such term is defined in the Wildfire Financing Law. Principal and interest due and payable on this Recovery Bond are payable from and secured primarily by Recovery Property created and established by the Financing Order obtained from the Public Utilities Commission of California pursuant to the Wildfire Financing Law. Recovery Property consists of the rights and interests of the Seller in the Financing Order, including the right to impose, collect and recover certain charges (defined in the Wildfire Financing Law as “fixed recovery charges” to be included in regular electric utility bills of existing and future electric service Consumers within the service territory of PG&E or its successors or assigns, as more fully described in the Financing Order.

15

The Wildfire Financing Law provides that: “The State of California does hereby pledge and agree with the electrical corporation, owners of recovery property, financing entities, and holders of recovery bonds that the state shall neither limit nor alter, except as otherwise provided with respect to the true-up adjustment of the fixed recovery charges pursuant to subdivision (g) of Section 850.1, the fixed recovery charges, any associated fixed recovery tax amounts, recovery property, financing orders, or any rights under a financing order until the recovery bonds, together with the interest on the recovery bonds and associated financing costs, are fully paid and discharged, and any associated fixed recovery tax amounts have been satisfied or, in the alternative, have been refinanced through an additional issue of recovery bonds, provided that nothing contained in this section shall preclude the limitation or alteration if and when adequate provision shall be made by law for the protection of the electrical corporation and of owners and holders of the recovery bonds. The financing entity is authorized to include this pledge and undertaking for the state in these recovery bonds.”

The Wildfire Financing Law further provides that: “Neither the full faith and credit nor the taxing power of the State of California is pledged to the payment of the principal of, or interest on, this bond. The issuance of recovery bonds under this article [of the Wildfire Financing Law] shall not directly, indirectly, or contingently obligate the state or any political subdivision thereof to levy or to pledge any form of taxation therefor or to make any appropriation for their payment.”

The Issuer and PG&E hereby acknowledge that the purchase of this Recovery Bond by the Holder hereof or the purchase of any beneficial interest herein by any Person are made in reliance on the foregoing pledge.

Each Holder by accepting a Recovery Bond specifically confirms the nonrecourse nature of these obligations, and waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the Recovery Bonds.
