WHEREAS the Issuer desires to purchase from time to time Transferred Environmental Control Property; and

WHEREAS the Seller is willing to sell Transferred Environmental Control Property to the Issuer; and

ARTICLE II

Conveyance of Transferred Environmental Control Property

Section 2.01. Conveyance of Initial Transferred Environmental Control Property. (a) In consideration of the Issuer’s delivery to or upon the order of the Seller of $337,591,496, subject to the conditions specified in Section 2.03, the Seller, pursuant to a Bill of Sale, will irrevocably sell, transfer, assign, set over and otherwise convey to the Issuer, without recourse (subject to the obligations herein), all right, title and interest of the Seller in and to the Initial Transferred Environmental Control Property created pursuant to the Statute and in accordance with the Financing Order (such sale, transfer, assignment, set over and conveyance of the Initial Transferred Environmental Control Property will include, to the fullest extent permitted by the Statute, the assignment of all revenues, collections, claims, rights, payments, money or proceeds of or arising from the Environmental Control Charges related to the Initial Transferred Environmental Control Property, as the same may be adjusted from time to time). Such sale, transfer, assignment, set over and conveyance will be expressly stated to be a sale and, pursuant to Section 24-2-4e(m)(1) of the Statute, shall be treated as an absolute transfer of all of the Seller’s right, title and interest (as in a true sale), and not as a pledge or other secured transaction, of the Initial Transferred Environmental Control Property. The Seller and the Issuer agree and confirm that after giving effect to the sale contemplated by such Bill of Sale, the Seller has no rights in the Initial Transferred Environmental Control Property to which a security interest of creditors of the Seller could attach because it has sold all rights in the Initial Transferred Environmental Control Property to the Issuer pursuant to Section 24-2-4e(m)(1) of the Statute. If such sale, transfer, assignment, setting over and conveyance is held by any court of competent jurisdiction not to be a true sale as provided in Section 24-2-4e(m)(1) of the Statute, then such sale, transfer, assignment, setting over and conveyance shall be treated as a pledge of the Initial Transferred Environmental Control Property and as the creation of a security interest (within the meaning of the Statute and the UCC) in the Initial Transferred Environmental Control Property and, without prejudice to its position that it has absolutely transferred all of its rights in the Initial Transferred Environmental Control Property to the Issuer, the Seller hereby grants a security interest in the Initial Transferred Environmental Control Property to the Issuer (and, to the extent necessary to qualify the grant as a security interest under the Statute and the UCC, to the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Environmental Control Bondholders to secure the right of the Issuer under the Basic Documents to receive the Environmental Control Charges and all other Transferred Environmental Control Property).

(b) Subject to the conditions specified in Section 2.03, the Issuer, pursuant to a Bill of Sale, will purchase the Initial Transferred Environmental Control Property from the Seller for the consideration set forth in paragraph (a) above.

(c) The Seller and the Issuer each acknowledge and agree that the purchase price for the Initial Transferred Environmental Control Property sold pursuant to the Bill of Sale is equal to its fair market value at the time of sale.

Section 2.02. Conveyance of Subsequent Transferred Environmental Control Property. The Seller may from time to time offer to sell additional Transferred Environmental Control Property to the Issuer, subject to the conditions specified in Section 2.03. If any such offer is accepted by the Issuer, such Subsequent Transferred Environmental Control Property shall be sold to the Issuer effective on the Subsequent Sale Date specified in the related Addition Notice, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions specified in Section 2.03.

Section 2.03. Conditions to Conveyance of Transferred Environmental Control Property. The Seller shall be permitted to sell Transferred Environmental Control Property to the Issuer only upon the satisfaction or waiver of each of the following conditions:

(i) on or prior to the Initial Sale Date or Subsequent Sale Date, as applicable, the Seller shall have delivered to the Issuer a duly executed Bill of Sale identifying the Transferred Environmental Control Property to be conveyed on that date;

(ii) as of the Initial Sale Date or the Subsequent Sale Date, as applicable, the Seller was not insolvent and will not have been made insolvent by such sale and the Seller is not aware of any pending insolvency with respect to itself;

(iv) as of the Initial Sale Date or the Subsequent Sale Date, as applicable, (A) the Issuer shall have sufficient funds available to pay the purchase price for the Transferred Environmental Control Property to be conveyed on such date and (B) all conditions to the issuance of one or more Series of Environmental Control Bonds intended to provide such funds set forth in the Indenture shall have been satisfied or waived;

(v) on or prior to the Initial Sale Date or the Subsequent Sale Date, as applicable, the Seller shall have taken all action required to transfer to the Issuer ownership of the Transferred Environmental Control Property to be conveyed on such date, free and clear of all Liens other than Liens created pursuant to the Basic Documents; and the Issuer or the Servicer, on behalf of the Issuer, shall have taken any action required for the Issuer to grant the Indenture Trustee a first priority perfected security interest in the Collateral and maintain such security interest as of such date;

(vi) in the case of a sale of Subsequent Transferred Environmental Control Property only, on or prior to such Subsequent Sale Date, the Seller shall have provided the Issuer and the Rating Agencies with a timely Addition Notice;

(vii) the Seller shall have delivered to the Rating Agencies and the Issuer (A) an Opinion of Counsel with respect to the transfer of the Transferred Environmental Control Property then being conveyed to the Issuer and (B) the Opinion of Counsel required by Section 5.04(a);

(viii) 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 2.03; and

Section 3.11. State Pledge.

(a) The State of West Virginia may not take or permit any action which would impair the value of the Environmental Control Property or reduce or alter, except for periodic True-Up Adjustments allowed under the Financing Order, or impair the Environmental Control Charges to be imposed, collected or remitted for the benefit of Environmental Control Bondholders, until all principal, interest or other charges incurred or contracts to be performed in connection with the Environmental Control Bonds are paid or performed in full.

(b) The State of West Virginia, including the PSCWV, cannot take any action that substantially impairs the rights of the Environmental Control Bondholders unless such action is reasonable exercise of the State of West Virginia’s sovereign powers and of a character to further a legitimate public purpose. Under the takings clauses of the West Virginia Constitution and the United States Constitution, the state cannot repeal or amend the Statute in contravention of the State Pledge, as described in Section 3.10(a), unless just compensation, as determined by a court of competition jurisdiction, is provided to the Environmental Control Bondholders; but

nothing in this paragraph precludes any limitation or alteration of the rights of the Environmental Control Bondholders if full compensation is made by law for the full protection of the Environmental Control Charges and of the Environmental Control Bondholders or any assignee or party entering into a contract with the Seller.

(c) There is no order by a court providing for the limitation or other impairment of the Statute, Financing Order, Environmental Control Property or Environmental Control Charges, or any rights arising under them, or that seeks to enjoin the performance of any obligations under the Financing Order which is materially adverse to the position of the Environmental Control Bondholders.
