ARTICLE II

AGREEMENT TO PURCHASE, SELL AND CONTRIBUTE

SECTION 2.1 Purchase, Sale and Contribution. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, each Originator hereby sells and, in the case of PG&E, contributes, as applicable, to Buyer, and Buyer hereby purchases or acquires from each Originator, as applicable, all of such Originator’s right, title and interest in, to and under the Receivables and the Related Rights, in each case whether now existing or hereafter arising, acquired, or originated.

SECTION 2.2 Timing of Purchases. All of the Receivables and the Related Rights existing at the opening of each Originator’s business on the Closing Date are hereby sold or contributed, as applicable, to Buyer on such date in accordance with the terms hereof. On and after the Closing Date until the Sale Termination Date, each Receivable arising after the Closing Date shall be deemed to have been sold or contributed to Buyer immediately (and without further action by any Person) upon the creation or acquisition of such Receivable by the respective Originator. In respect of (i) purchases on the Closing Date sold by such Originator hereunder, Buyer shall pay the respective Originators the applicable cash Purchase Price for the Receivables and the Related Rights on the Closing Date and (ii) purchases of Receivables originated on or after the Closing Date and the Related Rights, Buyer shall pay the respective Originators the applicable cash Purchase Price on such day; provided, however, in the case of clause (i) and clause (ii), to the extent that Buyer does not have funds available to pay the Purchase Price due on any day in cash (such cash insufficiency being a “Deferred Payment”), then until such Deferred Payment is made in cash, the Deferred Payment shall be deemed principal, as applicable to each Originator, of the respective Subordinated Notes, subject to the limitation in Section 2.3(d) below. The Related Rights with respect to each Receivable shall be sold or contributed at the same time as such Receivable, whether such Related Rights exist at such time or arise, are acquired or are originated thereafter by the respective Originator.

SECTION 2.3 Purchase Price. (a) The purchase price (“Purchase Price”) for the Receivables and the Related Rights shall equal the fair market value of the Receivables and the Related Rights as agreed by each Originator and Buyer at the time of purchase or acquisition, determined in accordance with the following formula:

3

“Payment Date” means (i) the Closing Date and (ii) each Business Day thereafter that the Originators are open for business. The Purchase Price shall not be adjusted or modified after the applicable purchase date.

(b) On the date of the initial purchase, PG&E shall contribute Receivables and the Related Rights to Buyer as a capital contribution in the amount set forth in a written notice on the date thereof from PG&E to Buyer and Administrative Agent.

(c) Buyer shall pay the related Originator the Purchase Price with respect to each non-contributed Receivable and the Related Rights, created or acquired by such Originator on the date of purchase thereof as set forth above by transfer of funds, to the extent that Buyer has funds available for that purpose after satisfying Buyer’s obligations under the Receivables Financing Agreement and such payment is not prohibited under the Transaction Documents.

(d) In the case of any Originator (including, in this capacity, PG&E), to the extent that Buyer does not have funds available to pay the Purchase Price due on any day in cash, Buyer shall execute and deliver in the form attached to this Agreement as Exhibit 2.3(d), a subordinated promissory note (each, a “Subordinated Note”) in a principal amount equal to such Deferred Payment and payable to the order of such Originator, or shall increase the principal amount of any outstanding Subordinated Note to such Originator by the amount of any Deferred Payment; provided, that the aggregate principal amount of the Subordinated Notes shall not at any time exceed or be permitted to exceed the maximum amount on the Subordinated Notes that could be owed without rendering Borrower’s Net Worth less than the Required Capital Amount. Each Originator is hereby authorized by Buyer to endorse on the schedule attached to its Subordinated Note an appropriate notation evidencing the date and amount of each advance thereunder, as well as the date of each payment with respect thereto, provided that the failure to make such notation shall not affect any obligation of Buyer thereunder.

(e) To the extent (i) Buyer does not have funds available to pay the Purchase Price due on any day in cash and (ii) any Subordinated Note may not be increased as provided in clause (d) above, PG&E, as an Originator hereunder and as sole member of the Buyer, may elect in its sole discretion to treat Receivables and Related Rights allocable to any Deferred Payment to have been transferred by PG&E to Buyer as a capital contribution, in return for an increase in the value of the equity interest in Buyer held by PG&E. PG&E may also, at its option in its sole discretion, contribute cash or cash equivalents to Buyer in return for an increase in the value of the equity interest in Buyer held by PG&E. Servicer may evidence PG&E’s election to treat all or any portion of a Deferred Payment as a capital contribution by recording it as such on the books and records of Buyer as maintained by the Servicer, and no further notice or acceptance of any such contribution shall be necessary. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to require PG&E to make any capital contribution to the Buyer. PG&E and Buyer shall each record on its respective books and records any capital contribution made by PG&E to Buyer promptly following its occurrence.

4

SECTION 2.4 No Recourse or Assumption of Obligations. Except as specifically provided in this Agreement, the purchase and sale or contribution, as applicable, of Receivables and Related Rights under this Agreement shall be without recourse to any Originator. Each Originator and Buyer intend the transactions hereunder to constitute absolute and irrevocable true sales or valid contributions of Receivables and the Related Rights by each Originator to Buyer, providing Buyer with the full risks and benefits of ownership of the Receivables and Related Rights (such that the Receivables and the Related Rights would not be property of any Originator’s estate in the event of such Originator’s bankruptcy).

None of Buyer, Administrative Agent, the Lenders or the other Affected Persons shall have any obligation or liability under any Receivables or Related Rights, nor shall Buyer, Administrative Agent, any Lender or the other Affected Persons have any obligation or liability to any Obligor or other customer or client of any Originator (including any obligation to perform any of the obligations of any Originator under any Receivables or Related Rights).

In addition, each Originator 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 Buyer or the Administrative Agent, as its assignee may reasonably request in order to perfect, protect or more fully evidence the purchases, sales and contributions hereunder, or to enable Buyer or the Administrative Agent, as its assignee to exercise or enforce any of their respective rights with respect to the Receivables and the Related Rights; provided, however, that unless requested by the Administrative Agent, and subject to the receipt of any consent required by the CPUC, following the occurrence of an Event of Default or a Termination Event, no filings under the Federal Assignment of Claims Act (or any other similar Applicable Law) with respect to Government Receivables shall be required to be made.

the continuing or surviving corporation of such merger, consolidation or amalgamation or (ii) the continuing or surviving corporation of such merger, consolidation or amalgamation, if not the Originator, (x) shall be an entity organized or existing under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia, (y) shall have assumed all obligations of such Originator under this Agreement pursuant to arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and (z) to the extent requested by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, shall have promptly provided to the Administrative Agent or such Lender all documentation and other information that may be required by the Administrative Agent or such Lender in order to enable compliance with applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including information required by the PATRIOT Act and the Beneficial Ownership Rule, (c) the ratings by ▇▇▇▇▇’▇ and S&P of the continuing or surviving corporation’s or purchaser’s senior, secured debt shall be at least the higher of (1) Baa3 from ▇▇▇▇▇’▇ and BBB- from S&P and (2) the ratings by such rating agencies of such Originator’s senior, secured debt in effect before the earlier of the occurrence or the public announcement of such event and (d) the Administrative Agent shall have received such certificates, documents, instruments, agreements and opinions of counsel (which shall be addressed to Administrative Agent and all Lenders) as it shall reasonably request, including as to the necessity and adequacy of any new UCC financing statements or amendments to existing UCC financing statements.

(d) Performance and Compliance with Receivables and Contracts. At its expense, timely and fully perform and comply in all material respects with all provisions, covenants and other promises required to be observed by it under the Contracts and the Receivables, to the same extent as if such Originator’s Receivables had not been sold or contributed, as applicable, hereunder and the exercise by each of Buyer, Servicer, Administrative Agent or any of their respective designees of its rights hereunder or under the Receivables Financing Agreement shall not relieve such Originator from such obligations.

The Buyer acknowledges and agrees that for administrative convenience, so long as a Stop Sweeping Event has not occurred and is continuing, that Collections in an amount equal to the Remaining Transfer Amount for such Business Day need not be transferred to the Borrower Accounts but instead shall be retained by the Servicer and distributed to the Originators in partial payment for the Receivables purchased by the Buyer on such date from the Originators in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Each Originator will, at all times, maintain such books and records necessary to (i) identify Collections received from time to time on Receivables, (ii) segregate Collections on Receivables from Non-Securitization Collections and all other funds, (iii) identify Non-Securitization Collections received from time to time and the Non-Securitization Receivable to which each portion of Non-Securitization Collections relate and (iv) promptly remit Collections on Receivables to a Borrower Account.

No Originator shall terminate an Account Bank or close an Account (or a related Lock-Box), in each case, with the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent. Each Originator shall ensure that no disbursements are made from (i) any Borrower Account, other than such disbursements that are made at the direction and for the account of the Borrower or (ii) any Collection Account, other than (x) the transfer of Collections out of the Collection Accounts and (y) the transfer of Non-Securitization Collections out of the Collection Accounts.

Each Originator will pay all taxes due and payable or any other tax assessments made against such Originator or any of its Significant Subsidiaries or any of their respective property by any Governmental Authority (other than (i) any amounts the validity of which are currently being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and with respect to which reserves in conformity with GAAP have been provided on the books of such Originator or any of its Significant Subsidiaries, as applicable or (ii) where the failure to effect such payment could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect with respect to such Originator).

(k) Accounting. Other than for consolidated accounting purposes, such Originator will not account for or treat the transactions contemplated hereby in any manner other than as a sale or contribution (as applicable) of Receivables and the Related Rights by such Originator to the Buyer; provided that solely for federal income tax reporting purposes, the Buyer is treated as a “disregarded entity” of PG&E and, therefore, the conveyance of Receivables and Related Rights by PG&E to the Buyer hereunder will not be recognized.

(l) Federal Assignment of Claims Act; Etc. Subject to the receipt of any consent required by the CPUC, if requested by the Administrative Agent following the occurrence of an Event of Default or a Termination Event, prepare and make any filings under the Federal Assignment of Claims Act (or any other similar Applicable Law) with respect to Government Receivables, that are necessary or desirable in order for the Administrative Agent to enforce such Government Receivable against the Obligor thereof.

In order to evidence the security interests of the Collection Account Agent under the Intercreditor Agreement, each Originator shall, from time to time take such action, or execute and deliver such instruments as may be necessary (including, without limitation, such actions as are reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent) to maintain and perfect, as a first-priority interest, the Collection Account Agent’s security interest in the Collection Accounts.

In order to implement the foregoing: (A) all payments and distributions of any kind or character in respect of this Note to which the Holder would be entitled except for this subsection 7(b) shall be made directly to Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Senior Interest Holders); (B) if the Holder shall timely file a claim or claims in any Bankruptcy Proceeding for any outstanding amount owed under this Note (and if the Holder does not timely do so, the Administrative Agent may), all payments and other distributions in respect thereof shall be made directly to the Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Senior Interest Holders) until the Senior Interests shall have been paid and performed in full and in cash and (C) the Holder hereby irrevocably agrees that Administrative Agent, in the name of the Holder or otherwise, may demand, ▇▇▇ for, collect, receive and receipt for any and all such payments or distributions, and file, prove and vote or consent in any such Bankruptcy Proceeding with respect to any and all claims of the Holder relating to this Note, in each case until the Senior Interests shall have been indefeasibly paid and performed in full and in cash. All payments and distributions received by Administrative Agent in respect of this Note, to the extent received in or converted into cash, may be applied by Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Senior Interest Holders) first, to the payment of any and all expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and other legal expenses) paid or incurred by Administrative Agent or the Senior Interest Holders in enforcing these Subordination Provisions, or in endeavoring to collect or realize upon the Junior Liabilities, and second, any balance thereof shall, solely as between any Holder (including Company hereunder) and the Senior Interest Holders, be applied by Administrative Agent toward the payment of the Senior Interests in a manner determined by Administrative Agent to be in accordance with the Receivables Financing Agreement; but as between Buyer and its creditors, no such payments or distributions of any kind or character shall be deemed to be payments or distributions in respect of the Senior Interests.

(c) In the event that the Holder receives any payment or other distribution of any kind or character from Buyer or from any other source whatsoever, in respect of this Note, other than as expressly permitted by the terms of this Note, such payment or other distribution shall be received in trust for the Senior Interest Holders and shall immediately be turned over in cash by the Holder to Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Senior Interest Holders) until the Senior Interests have been indefeasibly paid and performed in full and in cash.

(d) Upon the indefeasible payment and performance in full and in cash of all Senior Interests, the Holder shall be subrogated to the rights of the Senior Interest Holders to receive payments or distributions from Buyer that are applicable to the Senior Interests until this Note is indefeasibly paid and performed in full and in cash.

(e) These Subordination Provisions are intended solely for the purpose of defining the relative rights of the Holder, on the one hand, and the Senior Interest Holders, on the other hand. Nothing contained in the Subordination Provisions or elsewhere in this Note is intended to or shall impair, as between Buyer, its creditors (other than the Senior Interest Holders) and the Holder, Buyer’s obligation, which is unconditional and absolute, to pay this Note as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof and of the Purchase and Sale Agreement or to affect the relative rights of the Holder and creditors of Buyer (other than the Senior Interest Holders).

Exhibit 2.3(d), Page 3

(f) Holder shall not, until the Senior Interests have been indefeasibly paid and performed in full and in cash: (i) cancel, waive, forgive, transfer or assign, or commence legal proceedings to enforce or collect, or subordinate to any obligation of Buyer, howsoever created, arising or evidenced, whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, or now or hereafter existing, or due or to become due, other than the Senior Interests, this Note, or any rights in respect thereof or (ii) convert this Note into an equity interest in Buyer, unless, in the case of each of clauses (i) and (ii) above, Holder shall have received the prior written consent of Administrative Agent.

(g) The Holder shall not commence, or join with any other Person in commencing, any Bankruptcy Proceeding with respect to Buyer until at least one year and one day shall have passed since the Senior Interests shall have been indefeasibly paid and performed in full and in cash.

(h) If, at any time, any payment (in whole or in part) made with respect to any Senior Interest is rescinded or must be restored or returned by a Senior Interest Holder (whether in connection with any Bankruptcy Proceeding or otherwise), these Subordination Provisions shall continue to be effective or shall be reinstated, as the case may be, as though such payment had not been made.

(i) Each of the Senior Interest Holders may, from time to time, at its sole discretion, without notice or demand to the Holder, and without waiving any of its rights under these Subordination Provisions, take any or all of the following actions: (i) retain or obtain an interest in any property securing any of the Senior Interests pursuant to, and to the extent set forth in, the Transaction Documents; (ii) retain or obtain the primary or secondary obligations of any other obligor or obligors with respect to any of the Senior Interests; (iii) extend or renew for one or more periods (whether or not longer than the original period), alter or exchange any of the Senior Interests, or release or compromise any obligation of any nature with respect to any of the Senior Interests in accordance with the Transaction Documents; (iv) amend, supplement, or otherwise modify any Transaction Document in accordance with the terms thereof; and (v) release its security interest in, or surrender, release or permit any substitution or exchange for all or any part of any rights or property securing any of the Senior Interests, or extend or renew for one or more periods (whether or not longer than the original period), or release, compromise, alter or exchange any obligations of any nature of any obligor with respect to any such rights or property.

(j) The Holder agrees that this Note shall be pari passu with all other Junior Liabilities.

(k) The Holder hereby waives: (i) notice of acceptance of these Subordination Provisions by any of the Senior Interest Holders; (ii) notice of the existence, creation, non-payment or non-performance of all or any of the Senior Interests; and (iii) all diligence in enforcement, collection or protection of, or realization upon the Senior Interests, or any thereof, or any security therefor.

(l) Each of the Senior Interest Holders may, from time to time, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Transaction Documents to which such Persons are party, but without notice to the Holder, assign or transfer any or all of the Senior Interests, or any interest therein; and, notwithstanding any such assignment or transfer or any subsequent assignment or transfer thereof, such Senior Interests shall be and remain Senior Interests for the purposes of these Subordination Provisions, and every immediate and successive assignee or transferee of any of the Senior Interests or of any interest of such assignee or transferee in the Senior Interests shall be entitled to the benefits of these Subordination Provisions to the same extent as if such assignee or transferee were the assignor or transferor.

(m) These Subordination Provisions constitute a continuing offer from Buyer to all Persons who become the holders of, or who continue to hold, Senior Interests; and these Subordination Provisions are made for the benefit of the Senior Interest Holders, and Administrative Agent may proceed to enforce such provisions on behalf of each of such Persons.

8. Cumulative Remedies; Amendments, Etc. No failure or delay on the part of the Holder in exercising any power or right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power or right preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other power or right. No amendment, restatement, modification or waiver of, or consent with respect to, any provision of this Note shall in any event be effective unless (a) the same shall be in writing and signed and delivered by Buyer and the Holder and acknowledged and agreed to by Administrative Agent, and (b) all consents required for such actions under the Transaction Documents shall have been received by the appropriate Persons.

9. Limitation on Interest. Notwithstanding anything in this Note to the contrary, Buyer shall never be required to pay unearned interest on any amount outstanding hereunder, and shall never be required to pay interest on the principal amount outstanding hereunder, at a rate in excess of the maximum interest rate that may be contracted for, charged or received without violating applicable federal or state law.

12. Captions. Paragraph captions used in this Note are provided solely for convenience of reference and shall not affect the meaning or interpretation of any provision of this Note.

13. Intent of the Parties. Buyer and Company have structured this Note with the intention that the obligations of Buyer hereunder will be treated under United States federal, and applicable state, local and foreign tax law as debt (the “Intended Tax Treatment”). Buyer and Company agree to file no tax return, or take any action, inconsistent with the Intended Tax Treatment unless required by law.
