For the purposes of preparing the chart above, the following assumptions, among others, have been made: (i) the forecast error is constant over the life of the securitized utility tariff bonds and is equal to an overestimate of retail customer counts of 5% (13.32 standard deviations from the mean) or 15% (41.92 standard deviations from the mean) as stated in the chart above, (ii) the servicer makes timely and accurate filings to true-up the securitized utility tariff charges semi-annually, (iii) retail customers remit all securitized utility tariff charges 30 days after such charges are billed, (iv) the securitized utility tariff bonds are issued on November 18, 2022, (v) there is no acceleration of the final maturity date of the securitized utility tariff bonds, and (vi) operating expenses are equal to projections. There can be no assurance that the weighted average lives of the securitized utility tariff bonds will be as shown above.
