Except as stated in the preceding sentences of this Section 2.09 and except as required by the Competition Act (with respect to the application of partial payments) or as otherwise required by law or the underlying Contract, all Collections received from an Obligor of any Receivable shall be applied to Receivables then outstanding of such Obligor in the order of the age of such Receivables, starting with the oldest such Receivable, except if payment is designated by such Obligor for application to specific Receivables. Prior to the twenty-fifth day

of each month, the Collection Agent shall prepare and forward to the Agent for each Owner of an Eligible Asset an Investor Report relating to each Eligible Asset, as of the close of business of the Collection Agent on the last day of the immediately preceding month. On or prior to the day the Collection Agent is required to make a deposit with respect to a Settlement Period pursuant to Section 2.07, 2.08, or 2.09 the Seller will advise the Agent of each Liquidation Day and each Provisional Liquidation Day occurring during such Settlement Period and of the allocation of the amount of such deposit to each outstanding Eligible Asset; provided, however, that, if the Seller is not the Collection Agent the Seller shall advise the Collection Agent of the occurrence of each such Liquidation Day and each Provisional Liquidation Day occurring during such Settlement Period on or prior to such day.

SECTION 2.10 Payments and Computations, Etc. All amounts to be deposited by the Collection Agent hereunder shall be deposited in accordance with the terms hereof no later than 12:00 (Noon) (New York City time) on the day when due in lawful money of the United States of America in same day funds to the Agent’s Account. The Collection Agent shall, to the extent permitted by law, pay to the Agent interest on any amount not deposited by it when due at a rate equal to the Alternate Base Rate plus 2% per annum, payable on demand; provided, however, that the Alternate Base Rate plus 2% shall not at any time exceed the maximum rate permitted by applicable law. The excess of the payment over the deposit then due shall be retained by the Agent except to the extent that the failure to make a timely deposit has continued beyond the date for distribution by the Agent of such overdue amount to an Owner of an Eligible Asset, in which case the amount accruing after such date shall be for the account of, and distributed by the Agent to, the Owners ratably in accordance with their respective interests in such overdue amount. All computations of interest and all computations of Yield and Fees hereunder shall be made on the basis of a year of 360 days for the actual number of days (including the first but excluding the last day) elapsed.

SECTION 2.11 Dividing or Combining of Eligible Assets. The Agent may, for the purpose of computing Yield, on the date of Purchase or on the last day of any Fixed Period for any then existing Eligible Asset (“Existing Eligible Asset”), divide such Existing Eligible Asset into two or more new Eligible Assets, each such new Eligible Asset having Capital as determined by the Agent and all such new Eligible Assets collectively having aggregate Capital equal to the Capital of such Existing Eligible Asset. The Agent may, on the last day of any Fixed Periods ending on the same day for two or more Existing Eligible Assets owned by the same Owner, combine such Existing Eligible Assets into one new Eligible Asset, such new Eligible Asset having Capital equal to the aggregate Capital of such Existing Eligible Assets. On and after any division or combination of Eligible Assets as described above, each of the new Eligible Assets resulting from such division, or the new Eligible Asset resulting from such combination, as the case may be, shall be a separate Eligible Asset having Capital as set forth above, and shall take the place of such Existing Eligible Asset or Eligible Assets, as the case may be, in each case under and for all purposes of this Agreement.

SECTION 2.12 Increased Costs. If BTMUNY, the Investor, any Enhancement Provider, any Liquidity Provider, or any of their respective Affiliates (each an “Affected Person”) determines that compliance with any law or regulation or any guideline or request from any central bank or other governmental authority (whether or not having the force of law) affects or would affect the amount of the capital required or expected to be maintained by

such Affected Person and that the amount of such capital is increased by or based upon the existence of any commitment to make purchases of or otherwise to maintain the investment in Pool Receivables or interests therein related to this Agreement or to the funding thereof and other commitments of the same type, then, upon demand by such Affected Person (with a copy to the Agent), the Seller shall immediately pay to the Agent, for the account of such Affected Person (as a third-party beneficiary), from time to time as specified by such Affected Person, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Affected Person in the light of such circumstances, to the extent that such Affected Person reasonably determines such increase in capital to be allocable to the existence of any of such commitments, provided, however, that with respect to Affected Persons other than BTMUNY, the Investor or their respective Affiliates, coverage will be provided only for increases in capital resulting from changes in laws, regulations or guidelines from and after the Effective Date; provided, however, that no Affected Persons shall be entitled to demand such compensation more than one year after the later of the Facility Termination Date and the date on which all Capital is reduced to zero; provided, further, that the foregoing proviso shall in no way limit the right of any Affected Person to demand or receive such compensation to the extent that such compensation relates to the retroactive application of any law, regulation, guideline or request described above if such demand is made within one year after the implementation of such retroactive law, interpretation, guideline or request. A certificate as to such amounts, giving a reasonable explanation thereof submitted to the Seller and the Agent by such Affected Person shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

SECTION 2.13 BTMU LIBO Rate Increased Costs. If due to either (i) the introduction of or any change (other than any change by way or imposition or increase of reserve requirements referred to in Section 2.14) in or in the interpretation of any law or regulation or (ii) the compliance with any guideline or request from any central bank or other governmental authority (whether or not having the force of law), there shall be any increase in the cost to the Owner of agreeing to purchase or purchasing, or maintaining the ownership of, Eligible Assets in respect of which Yield is computed by reference to the BTMU LIBO Rate, then, upon demand by the Owner (with a copy to the Agent), the Seller shall immediately pay to the Agent, for the account of the Owner (as a third-party beneficiary), from time to time as specified, additional amounts sufficient to compensate the Owner for such increased costs; provided, however; that no Owner shall be entitled to demand such compensation more than 90 days after the later of the Facility Termination Date and the date on which all Capital is reduced to zero; provided, further, that the foregoing proviso shall in no way limit the right of any Owner to demand or receive such compensation to the extent that such compensation relates to the retroactive application of any law, regulation, guideline or request described in clause (i) or (ii) above if such demand is made within 90 days after the implementation of such retroactive law, interpretation, guideline or request. A certificate as to such amounts submitted to the Seller and the Agent by the Owner shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

SECTION 2.14 Additional Yield on Eligible Assets Bearing a BTMU LIBO Rate. The Seller shall pay to the Owner, so long as the Owner shall be required under regulations of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System to maintain reserves with respect to liabilities or assets consisting of or including Eurocurrency Liabilities, additional Yield on the unpaid Capital of each Eligible Asset of the Owner during each Fixed Period in respect of which Yield is computed by reference to the BTMU LIBO Rate, for such Fixed Period, at a rate

per annum equal at all times during such Fixed Period to the remainder obtained by subtracting (i) the BTMU LIBO Rate for such Fixed Period from (ii) the rate obtained by dividing such BTMU LIBO Rate referred to in clause (i) above by that percentage equal to 100% minus the BTMU LIBO Rate Reserve Percentage of the Owner for such Fixed Period, payable on each date on which Yield is payable on such Eligible Asset. Such additional Yield shall be determined by the Owner and notified to the Seller through the Agent within 30 days after any Yield payment is made with respect to which such additional Yield is requested. A certificate as to such additional Yield submitted to the Seller and the Agent by the Owner shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

Until the Agent gives one Business Day’s prior written notice to the Seller (in accordance with this Section 6.01) of a designation of a new Collection Agent, the Seller is hereby designated as, and hereby agrees to perform the duties and obligations of, the Collection Agent pursuant to the terms hereof. The Agent may at any time, upon one Business Day’s prior written notice to the Seller, designate as Collection Agent any Person (including itself) to succeed the Seller or any successor Collection Agent on the condition in each case that any such Person so designated shall agree in writing to perform the duties and obligations of the Collection Agent pursuant to

the terms hereof. The Collection Agent may, with the prior consent of the Agent, subcontract with any other Person for servicing, administering or collecting the Pool Receivables, provided that the Collection Agent shall remain liable for the performance of the duties and obligations of the Collection Agent pursuant to the terms hereof.

SECTION 6.02 Duties of Collection Agent. (a) The Collection Agent shall take or cause to be taken all such actions as may be necessary or advisable to collect each Pool Receivable from time to time, all in accordance with applicable laws, rules and regulations, with reasonable care and diligence, and in accordance with the Credit and Collection Policy. Each of the Seller, the Owner, BTMUNY and the Agent hereby appoints as its agent the Collection Agent from time to time designated pursuant to Section 6.01, to enforce its respective rights and interests in and under the Pool Receivables, the Related Security and the Contracts, in each of the last two cases relating to the Pool Receivables. The Collection Agent shall set aside and hold in trust for the account of the Seller and each Owner their respective allocable shares of the Collections of Pool Receivables in accordance with Sections 2.07 and 2.08 but shall not (except as set forth in Section 5.01(h)) be required (unless otherwise requested by the Agent) to segregate the funds constituting such portion of such Collections prior to the remittance thereof in accordance with said Sections. If instructed by the Agent, the Collection Agent shall segregate and deposit into the Designated Account, designated pursuant to Section 6.03, such allocable share of Collections of Pool Receivables, set aside for each Owner, on the first Business Day following receipt by the Collection Agent of such Collections. Provided no Trigger Event, Liquidation Day or Provisional Liquidation Day shall have occurred and be continuing, the Seller, while it is the Collection Agent, may extend the maturity or adjust the Outstanding Balance of any Defaulted Receivable as the Seller may determine to be appropriate to maximize Collections thereof or as required by applicable law; provided, that in the case of Tariff Receivables, such action shall be in accordance with the Credit and Collection Policy. The Seller shall deliver to the Collection Agent and the Collection Agent shall hold in trust for the Seller and each Owner in accordance with their respective interests, copies of all documents, instruments and records (including, without limitation, computer tapes or disks) which evidence or relate to Pool Receivables.

(b) The Collection Agent shall as soon as practicable following receipt turn over to the Seller (i) that portion of Collections of Pool Receivables representing its undivided interest therein, less, in the event the Seller is not the Collection Agent, all reasonable and appropriate out-of-pocket costs and expenses of such Collection Agent of servicing, collecting and administering the Pool Receivables to the extent not covered by the Collection Agent Fee received by it and (ii) the Collections of any Receivable which is not a Pool Receivable. The Collection Agent, if other than the Seller, shall as soon as practicable upon demand deliver to the Seller copies of all documents, instruments and records in its possession which evidence or relate to Receivables of the Seller other than Pool Receivables, and copies of documents, instruments and records in its possession which evidence or relate to Pool Receivables.

SECTION 6.03 Rights of the Agent. (a) The Agent is hereby authorized to notify at any time and at the Seller’s expense the Obligors of Pool Receivables, or any of them, of the ownership of Eligible Assets by the Owners.

(b) At any time following the designation of a Collection Agent other than the Seller pursuant to Section 6.01:

(i) The Agent may direct the Obligors of Pool Receivables, or any of them, that payment of all amounts payable under any Pool Receivable be made directly to the Agent or its designee or to an account designated by it (the “Designated Account”).

(ii) The Seller shall, at the Agent’s request and at the Seller’s expense, give notice of such ownership to each said Obligor and direct that payments in respect of the Pool Receivables be made directly to the Agent or its designee or to the Designated Account.

(iii) The Seller shall, at the Agent’s request, (A) assemble all of the documents, instruments and other records (including, without limitation, computer tapes and disks) which evidence the Pool Receivables, and the related Contracts and Related Security, or which are otherwise necessary or desirable to collect such Pool Receivables, and shall make the same available to the Agent at a place selected by the Agent or its designee, and (B) segregate all cash, checks and other instruments received by it from time to time constituting solely Collections of Pool Receivables in a manner acceptable to the Agent and shall, promptly upon receipt, remit all such cash, checks and instruments, duly endorsed or with duly executed instruments of transfer, to the Agent or its designee.

(iv) Each of the Seller, the Owner and BTMUNY hereby authorizes the Agent to take any and all steps in the Seller’s name and on behalf of the Seller, the Owner and BTMUNY, respectively, necessary or desirable, in the determination of the Agent, to collect all amounts due under any and all Pool Receivables, including, without limitation, endorsing the Seller’s name on checks and other instruments solely representing Collections and enforcing such Pool Receivables and the related Contracts.

(c) With respect to any amounts received by the Agent pursuant to its rights under this Section 6.03, the Agent shall apply such amounts pursuant to Section 2.06, 2.07 or 2.08, as applicable.

SECTION 6.04 Responsibilities of the Seller. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding:

(a) The Seller shall perform all of its obligations under the Contracts related to the Pool Receivables to the same extent as if Eligible Assets had not been sold hereunder and the exercise by the Agent of its rights hereunder shall not relieve the Seller from such obligations or its obligations with respect to Pool Receivables; and

(b) Neither the Agent nor the Owners shall have any obligation or liability with respect to any Pool Receivables or related Contracts, nor shall any of them be obligated to perform any of the obligations of the Seller thereunder.

SECTION 6.05 Further Action Evidencing the Purchase. The Seller agrees that from time to time, at its expense, it will promptly execute and deliver all further instruments and documents, and take all further action that the Agent may reasonably request in order to perfect, protect or more fully evidence the Eligible Assets purchased by the Owners hereunder, or to enable any of them or the Agent to exercise or enforce any of their respective rights hereunder. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Seller will upon the written request of the Agent: (i) execute and file such financing or continuation statements, or amendments thereto or assignments thereof and such other instruments or notices, as may be necessary or appropriate; (ii) mark conspicuously each invoice evidencing each Pool Receivable with a legend, acceptable to the Agent, evidencing that such Eligible Assets have been sold in accordance with this Agreement; and (iii) mark its master data processing records evidencing such Pool Receivables with such legend. The Seller hereby authorizes the Agent to file one or more financing or continuation statements, and amendments thereto and assignments thereof relative to all or any of the Pool Receivables and the Related Security now existing or hereafter arising as permitted by the UCC. If the Seller fails to perform any of its agreements or obligations under this Agreement, the Agent may (but shall not be required to) itself perform or cause performance of such agreement or obligation, and the expenses of the Agent incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by the Seller as provided in Section 10.01 or 11.06, as applicable.

SCHEDULE I

PECO Energy Distribution Company

Credit and Collection Policies & Procedures

PECO Energy Company (“PECO Energy”) is obligated to provide service to new residential customers under Pennsylvania law. Credit investigations are performed on new customers through a Social Security Number and/or Driver’s License verification and internal documentation. PECO Energy relies on the information provided by the customer and its Customer Information System audits to determine whether PECO Energy has previously served the customer. Customers may also be directed to Identity Verification locations to show proof of identity prior to initiating new service. Service may be denied if the applicant cannot prove his or her identity.

Residential and small commercial accounts may be assessed a security deposit at the time of service initiation. Credit investigations and internal account reviews are used to determine if a residential account should be assessed a deposit at initiation. Deposit amounts are equal to two times the average monthly billing based on the previous usage at the property. Deposits may be waived for small commercial customers that have demonstrated credit-worthiness on a prior PECO Energy account. Initial deposits may be waived for residential customers if they provide income verification that demonstrates they are low-income customers (below 250% of the Federal Poverty Level).

Small commercial account deposits are held for a period of 36 months. After 36 months of good payment, the customer can request that the deposit and any interest be applied to the account. Residential deposits are held for 12 months. If the customer pays on time and in full for 12 consecutive months, the customer’s deposit plus interest is applied to the customer’s account.

If a customer becomes 60 days delinquent and there is no deposit on record, a deposit warning letter is sent. If the customer does not satisfy the delinquency and remains delinquent during the following 60 days, a deposit is required. The deposit is billed in three monthly installments.

If a customer fails to pay a required deposit under any circumstances, service termination procedures are enacted as described below.

PECO Energy operates on a continuous billing cycle, with an approximately equal number of bills being distributed each day. PECO Energy bills the majority of its customers monthly. Accounts with potential billing errors are held by the computer system for review. This review examines accounts that have abnormally high or low bills, potential meter-reading errors, safety problems identified by the meter-reading staff and possible meter malfunctions.

As part of its obligation to provide service to its low-income customers, PECO Energy developed a Customer Assistance Program (“CAP”). CAP is open only to residential class customers. Customers must apply for CAP and must demonstrate that their annual household gross income is less than 150% of the Federal Poverty Level (FPL). Customers in CAP receive a rate discount for usage up to a fixed, maximum each month. Usage exceeding this maximum is

billed at the regular tariff rate. The usage-based discount is intended to encourage customers to conserve energy. There are five CAP rate tiers, designated as A through E and based on the customer’s FPL percentage. The lower the customer’s annual income, the higher the discount available to that customer. CAP customers may also have any pre-application arrears on their account forgiven if they remain current on post-application billing for six consecutive months. This requirement may be replaced by an arrangement that forgives 1/12^th of the arrearage for each on-time payment of the current account. Failure to remain current on post-CAP charges will delay or disqualify the customer for the forgiveness. CAP customers are otherwise subject to normal PECO Energy collection policies.

PECO Energy receives a majority of bill payments via U.S. mail. Customers may also pay at a network of businesses or organizations developed by a PECO Energy vendor (such as supermarkets and convenience stores). These payment locations are located throughout PECO Energy’s service territory and are authorized to accept in-person payments. Other major payment collection methods include telephone and online payments by check or credit card, and direct debit of customer accounts through a local bank.

PECO Energy’s residential and small commercial collection practice for addressing delinquent accounts is automated via the Recovery Management System (RMS). RMS can be tailored to efficiently meet on-going and changing program requirements, while providing an effective mechanism to enable the Company to effectively manage its delinquent accounts.

Account activity in RMS is based on a recovery score assigned to each delinquent account. Each delinquent customer is scored based on: (1) the outstanding account balance; (2) the customer’s payment habits; (3) the length of time the customer has been a PECO Energy customer; (4) the amount of time since the last payment was received; and (5) the customer’s termination history. Based on these factors, the account is assigned a risk score. The risk score is used to segment delinquent customers into one of five specific collection strategies. The low risk customers (customers who usually pay late and pay the associated late fees) are monitored with no collection activity. The next highest risk customers are sent letters reminding them of their payment obligation. The next highest risk customers receive outbound collection calls reminding the customers of their delinquency. The next highest risk customers are referred to a collection agency which uses a combination of letters and calls to the customer for 30 days. The highest risk customers are sent directly to the service termination process.

For residential customers, the service termination process is initiated by mailing notice of PECO Energy’s intent to terminate service if payment is not received in 10 days (the “l0-day Notice”). If payment is not made within seven days after mailing the 10-day Notice, a 72-hour notice is given, either by telephone or at the property, of PECO Energy’s intent to terminate service if payment is not received within 3 days (the “72-hour Notice”). If sufficient payment has not been received within 10 days after 10-day Notice, the account is sent for termination.

PECO Energy is authorized to terminate service any time during the 60 days after the 10-day Notice. During non-winter months (April 1 to November 30), service may be terminated on the first visit to the property, regardless of whether contact is made with anyone at the property. During the winter months (December 1 to March 31), personal contact must be attempted at the property. If the field termination vendor makes personal contact with a

responsible adult at the property on the first visit, service is terminated. If personal contact is not made on the first visit to the property, the field termination vendor leaves a 48-hour notice at the property. Two days later, the service is terminated with or without personal contact. At any time during this notice process, the customer may make payment to stop the termination.

PECO Energy is not permitted to terminate service to known low-income customers during the winter months. These residential accounts are managed during the winter period through a combination of letter and proactive phone contacts. Due to high-energy use with heating customers, payment plans may be negotiated. Delinquencies that accumulate during the winter period continue to contribute to the recovery scoring that can lead to termination once the winter period is over.

For small commercial accounts in the highest risk category, a telephone call is made to the customers to inform them that their account has been referred for termination. A one week grace period is provided to allow for payment in full. If payment is not received, the customer receives notice that the service will be disconnected in three days. If payment is not made, service is terminated. The winter relief and personal contact requirements do not apply to commercial accounts.

If a customer is terminated for non-payment, the customer is required to pay the full past due balance before reconnection. If the customer was on a payment agreement at the time of termination, the full deferred balance must be paid, plus a reconnection fee. After service is restored, a deposit will be billed to the account in three installments.

A separate, external Credit Call Center (CCC) is utilized to respond effectively to calls received from delinquent customers who contact the company regarding their account. The contact number for the CCC is used in all correspondence to delinquent customers concerning the status of their account. In addition, an IVR option at PECO Energy’s main telephone number will direct calls to the CCC. The CCC is authorized to negotiate payment arrangements, where warranted, in accordance with company policies and procedures. Agreement policies and procedures are based on guidelines established by the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission.

If a customer account is closed with a balance owed, either because a customer has moved or because the customer has failed to remedy a delinquent account, collection efforts are made to collect the balance. Accounts are sent to an external collection agency that attempts to collect the debt. Accounts are written off ninety-days after closing if payment is not received. Additional recovery of delinquent accounts is also effectuated through litigation.

Collection recovery rates are monitored monthly. Once written off, uncollected debts may be sold as part of the PECO Energy’s efforts to improve cash flow and manage its bad debt. Potential sales are performed quarterly. Excluded from sales consideration are charged-off accounts that are included in a bankruptcy or litigation, or if a dispute exists at the time of the sales transaction.

PECO Energy’s large commercial and industrial account collection process is based on providing individualized analysis and attention to detail due to the importance of each customer as a source of revenue. The PECO Energy’s collection strategies range from letters and phone

contacts to termination and litigation. The accounts are assigned to large account specialists who monitor the accounts and determine the appropriate action necessary to correct delinquencies. Large commercial and industrial accounts are referred to a collection agency at charge-off.

If PECO Energy is notified that a customer has declared bankruptcy, a review is conducted to identify all affected accounts. The accounts are closed and written-off. Efforts are initiated to submit claims in the bankruptcy. A new “post-petition” account is then established and a deposit is requested for customers where continued service is required.

With the advent of electric and gas choice, customers may choose an alternate energy supplier. If the customer chooses an electric supplier and PECO Energy performs the billing for the supplier charges, PECO Energy is obligated to reimburse the electric supplier regardless of whether the customer has paid PECO Energy. If the customer chooses a gas supplier and PECO Energy performs the billing for the supplier charges, PECO Energy pays the gas supplier when the customer pays PECO Energy. Should the customer fail to pay the supplier portion of the bill, PECO Energy initiates collection activity, including demand letters and litigation. Termination of service is prohibited on supplier arrears. If a customer becomes ninety days past due on the supplier portion of the bill, PECO Energy may discontinue billing for supplier charges. In addition, payment arrangements do not include any supplier arrears. Agreements on supplier charges are formalized by a legal letter of agreement.

Customer Assistance Program (“CAP”) Receivables means tariff receivables of residential obligors whose annual household gross income is less than 150% of the Federal Poverty Level. Customers in CAP receive a rate discount for usage up to a fixed, maximum each month. Usage exceeding this maximum is billed at the regular tariff rate. CAP customers may also have any pre-application arrears on their account forgiven if they remain current on post-application billing for six consecutive months. This requirement may be replaced by an arrangement that forgives 1/12^th of the arrearage for each on-time payment of the current account.
