The Issuer represents and warrants to the Underwriters that:

(a)The Issuer and the Bonds meet the requirements for the use of Form S-3 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and each of the Issuer and ENO, in its capacity as sponsor for the Issuer, has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) a registration statement on such form on April 10, 2015 (Registration Nos. 333-203320 and 333-203320-01), as amended by Amendment No. 1 thereto filed on May [__], 2015, and Amendment No. 2 thereto filed on June [__], 2015, including a prospectus and a form of prospectus supplement, for the registration under the Securities Act of up to $[_________] aggregate principal amount of the Bonds. Such registration statement, as amended (“Registration Statement No. 333-203320”), has been declared effective by the Commission and no stop order suspending such effectiveness has been issued under the Securities Act and no proceedings for that purpose have been instituted or are pending or, to the knowledge of the Issuer, threatened by the Commission. No storm recovery bonds registered with the Commission under the Securities Act pursuant to Registration Statement No. 333-203320 have been previously issued. References herein to the term “Registration Statement” shall be deemed to refer to Registration Statement No. 333-203320, including any amendment thereto, all documents incorporated by reference therein pursuant to Item 12 of Form S‑3 (“Incorporated Documents”), if any, and any information in a prospectus or a prospectus supplement deemed or retroactively deemed to be a part thereof pursuant to Rule 430B (“Rule 430B”) or 430C (“Rule 430C”) under the Securities Act that has not been superseded or modified. “Registration Statement” without reference to a time means the Registration Statement as of the Applicable Time (as defined below), which the parties agree is the time of the first “contract of sale” (as used in Rule 159 under the Securities Act) for the Bonds, and shall be considered the “Effective Date” of the Registration Statement relating to the Bonds. For purposes of this definition, information contained in a form of prospectus or prospectus supplement that is deemed retroactively to be a part of the Registration Statement pursuant to Rule 430B or Rule 430C shall be considered to be included in the Registration Statement as of the time specified in Rule 430B or Rule 430C as appropriate. The final prospectus and the final prospectus supplement relating to the Bonds, as filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act, are referred to herein as the “Final Prospectus,” and the most recent preliminary prospectus and prospectus supplement that omitted information to be included upon pricing in a form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act and that was used after the initial effectiveness of the Registration Statement and prior to the Applicable Time (as defined below) is referred to herein as the “Pricing Prospectus.”

(b)(i) At the earliest time after the filing of the Registration Statement that the Issuer or another offering participant made a bona fide offer (within the meaning of Rule 164(h)(2) under the Securities Act) of the Bonds and (ii) at the date hereof, the Issuer was not and is not an “ineligible issuer,” as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act.

(c)At the time the Registration Statement initially became effective, at the time of each amendment thereto for the purposes of complying with Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act (whether by post‑effective amendment, incorporated report or form of prospectus) and on the Effective Date, the Registration Statement, and the Indenture, at the Closing Date (as defined below), fully complied and will fully comply in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the Securities Act, the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 (the “Trust Indenture Act”) and, in each case, the applicable instructions, rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder; and the Registration Statement, at each of the aforementioned

dates, did not and will not include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading. As of the Applicable Time and as of the Closing Date, the Registration Statement and the Final Prospectus fully complied and will fully comply in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the Securities Act, the Trust Indenture Act and the applicable instructions, rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder, and none of such documents include or will include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; and on said dates the Incorporated Documents, taken together as a whole, fully complied or will fully comply in all material respects with the applicable provisions of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and the applicable instructions, rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder; provided that the foregoing representations and warranties in this paragraph (c) shall not apply to statements or omissions made in reliance upon information furnished in writing to the Issuer or ENO by, or on behalf of, any Underwriter through the Representatives specifically for use in the Registration Statement or the Final Prospectus, it being understood and agreed that the only such information furnished by any Underwriter consists of the information set forth in Schedule IV hereto, or to any statements in or omissions from any Statements of Eligibility on Form T‑1 (or amendments thereto) of the Indenture Trustee under the Indenture filed as exhibits to the Registration Statement or the Incorporated Documents, or to any statements or omissions made in the Registration Statement or the Final Prospectus relating to The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) Book‑Entry System that are based solely on information contained in published reports of DTC.

(d)As of its date, at the Applicable Time, on the date of its filing, if applicable, and on the Closing Date, the Pricing Prospectus and each Issuer Free Writing Prospectus (as defined below) (other than the Pricing Term Sheet, as defined in Section 5(b) below), considered together, did not include any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading (except that the principal amount, the initial principal balance, the scheduled final payment date, the final maturity date, the expected average life, the expected amortization schedule, the expected sinking fund schedule, the interest rate, the price to the public and the underwriting discounts and commissions, in each case, relating to or in respect of the Bonds, was not included in the Pricing Prospectus).

References to the term “Free Writing Prospectus” shall mean a free writing prospectus, as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act. References to the term “Applicable Time” mean [_]:[__] [_].M., New York City time ([_]:[__] [_].M., Central time), on the date hereof, except that if, subsequent to such Applicable Time, the Issuer, ENO and the Underwriters have determined that the information contained in the Pricing Prospectus or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus issued prior to such Applicable Time included an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not

misleading and have terminated their old purchase contracts and entered into new purchase contracts with purchasers of the Bonds, then “Applicable Time” will refer to the first of such times when such new purchase contracts are entered into. The Issuer represents, warrants and agrees that it has treated and agrees that it will treat each Free Writing Prospectus listed on Schedule III hereto as an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, and that each such Free Writing Prospectus has fully complied and will fully comply with the applicable requirements of Rules 164 and 433 under the Securities Act, including timely Commission filing where required, legending and record keeping.

If at any time following issuance of an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus there occurred or occurs an event or development as a result of which such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus conflicted or would conflict with the information then contained in the Registration Statement or included or would include an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted or would omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances prevailing at that subsequent time, not misleading, (i) ENO or the Issuer has promptly notified or will promptly notify the Representatives and (ii) ENO or the Issuer has promptly amended or will promptly amend or supplement such Issuer Free Writing Prospectus to eliminate or correct such conflict, untrue statement or omission. The foregoing two sentences do not apply to statements in or omissions from any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Issuer or ENO by any Underwriter through the Representatives specifically for use therein, it being understood and agreed that the only such information furnished by any Underwriter consists of the information set forth in Schedule IV hereto.

Certificate of Formation or the LLC Agreement (collectively, the “Issuer Charter Documents”) or any statute, order, rule or regulation of any court or governmental agency or body having jurisdiction over the Issuer or any of its properties.

b.ENO and the Issuer (or the Representatives at the direction of the Issuer) will prepare a final pricing term sheet relating to the Bonds (the “Pricing Term Sheet”), containing only information that describes the final pricing terms of the Bonds and otherwise in a form consented to by the Representatives, and will file such final pricing term sheet within the period required by Rule 433(d)(5)(ii) under the Securities Act following the date such final terms have been established for the offering of the

Bonds. The Pricing Term Sheet is an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus for purposes of this Underwriting Agreement.

c.Each Underwriter may provide to investors one or more Free Writing Prospectuses, including the term sheets identified in Schedule III hereto, subject to the following conditions:

(i)Unless preceded or accompanied by a prospectus satisfying the requirements of Section 10(a) of the Securities Act, an Underwriter shall not convey or deliver any Written Communication (as defined below) to any person in connection with the initial offering of the Bonds, unless such Written Communication (A) is made in reliance on Rule 134 under the Securities Act, (B) constitutes a prospectus satisfying the requirements of Rule 430B, (C) constitutes “ABS informational and computational information” as defined in Item 1101 of Regulation AB, (D) is an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus listed on Schedule III hereto or (E) is an Underwriter Free Writing Prospectus (as defined below). “Written Communication” has the same meaning as that term is defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act.

An “Underwriter Free Writing Prospectus” means any Free Writing Prospectus that contains only preliminary or final terms of the Bonds and is not required to be filed by ENO or the Issuer pursuant to Rule 433 under the Securities Act and that contains information substantially the same as the information contained in the Pricing Prospectus or the Pricing Term Sheet (including, without limitation, (1) the size, rating, price, CUSIPs, coupon, yield, spread, benchmark, status and/or legal maturity date of the Bonds, the weighted average life, expected first and final payment dates, trade date, settlement date, transaction parties, credit enhancement, logistical details related to the location and timing of and access to the roadshow, ERISA eligibility, legal investment status and payment window of the Bonds and (2) a column or other entry showing the status of the subscriptions for the Bonds, both for the Bonds as a whole and for each Underwriter’s retention, and/or expected pricing parameters of the Bonds).

(ii)Each Underwriter shall comply with all applicable laws and regulations in connection with the use of Free Writing Prospectuses, including the term sheets identified in Schedule III hereto, including but not limited to Rules 164 and 433 under the Securities Act.

(iii)All Free Writing Prospectuses provided to investors, whether or not filed with the Commission, shall bear a legend including substantially the following statement:

The Issuer has filed a registration statement (including a base prospectus) with the SEC for the offering to which this communication relates. Before you invest, you should read the prospectus in that registration statement and other documents Issuer has filed with the SEC for more complete information about Issuer and the offering. You may get these documents for free by visiting EDGAR on the SEC web site at www.sec.gov. Alternatively, the Issuer, any underwriter or any dealer participating in the offering will arrange to send you the prospectus if you request it by calling Citigroup Global Markets Inc. toll-free at 1-800-831-9146.

The Issuer and the Representatives shall have the right to require additional specific legends or notations to appear on any Free Writing Prospectus, the right to require changes regarding the use of terminology and the right to determine the types of information appearing therein with the approval of, in the case of the Issuer, the Representatives and, in the case of the Representatives, the Issuer (which in either case shall not be unreasonably withheld).

(iv)Each Underwriter covenants with the Issuer and ENO that after the Final Prospectus is available such Underwriter shall not distribute any written information concerning

the Bonds to an investor unless such information is preceded or accompanied by the Final Prospectus or by notice to the investor that the Final Prospectus is available for free by visiting EDGAR on the Commission’s website at www.sec.gov.

(v)Each Underwriter agrees and covenants that if an Underwriter shall use an Underwriter Free Writing Prospectus, the liability arising from its use shall be the sole responsibility of the Underwriter using such Underwriter Free Writing Prospectus unless such Underwriter Free Writing Prospectus was consented to in advance by ENO; provided, however, that, for the avoidance of doubt, (A) this clause (v) shall not be interpreted as tantamount to the indemnification obligations contained in Section 11(b) hereof and (B) no Underwriter shall be responsible for any errors or omissions in an Underwriter Free Writing Prospectus to the extent that such error or omission related to or was derived from any information provided by the Issuer or ENO.

6. Purchase and Sale.

On the basis of the representations and warranties herein contained, and subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth, the Issuer shall sell to each of the Underwriters, and each Underwriter shall purchase from the Issuer, at the time and place herein specified, severally and not jointly, at the purchase price set forth in Schedule I hereto, the principal amount of the Bonds set forth opposite such Underwriter’s name in Schedule II hereto. The Underwriters agree to make a public offering of the Bonds. The Issuer shall pay (in the form of a discount to the principal amount of the offered Bonds) to the Underwriters a commission equal to $[______].

7. Time and Place of Closing.

Delivery of the Bonds against payment of the aggregate purchase price therefor by wire transfer in federal funds shall be made at the place, on the date and at the time specified in Schedule I hereto, or at such other place, time and date as shall be agreed upon in writing by the Issuer and the Representatives. The hour and date of such delivery and payment are herein called the “Closing Date”. Pursuant to Rule 15c6-1(d) of the Exchange Act Regulations, the parties have agreed that the Closing Date will be not less than five business days following the date hereof. The Bonds shall be delivered to DTC or to the Indenture Trustee, as custodian for DTC, in fully registered global form registered in the name of Cede & Co., for the respective accounts specified by the Representatives not later than the close of business on the business day preceding the Closing Date or such other time as may be agreed upon by the Representatives. The Issuer agrees to make the Bonds available to the Representatives for checking purposes not later than 1:00 P.M. New York Time on the last business day preceding the Closing Date at the place specified for delivery of the Bonds in Schedule I hereto, or at such other place as the Issuer may specify.

If the Underwriters shall fail or refuse to purchase and pay for the aggregate principal amount of Bonds that the Underwriters have agreed to purchase and pay for hereunder, then this Underwriting Agreement may be terminated by the Issuer.

Any action taken by the Issuer or ENO under this Section 7 shall not relieve the Underwriters from liability in respect of any default of the Underwriters under this Underwriting Agreement. Termination by the Issuer under this Section 7 shall be without any liability on the part of the Issuer or ENO, except as otherwise provided in Sections 8(a)(ii) and 11 hereof.

or state statutory law or regulation, at common law or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement as originally filed or in any amendment or supplement thereof, (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Pricing Prospectus, the Final Prospectus, the Issuer Free Writing Prospectuses or in any amendment thereof or amendment or supplement thereto, (iii) the omission or alleged omission to state in the Registration Statement, the Pricing Prospectus, the Final Prospectus or the Issuer Free Writing Prospectuses a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, or (iv) any information prepared by or on behalf of the Issuer or ENO and provided to the Underwriters, and will reimburse each such indemnified party, as incurred, for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that neither the Issuer nor ENO will be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon any such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made therein in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Issuer or ENO by or on behalf any Underwriter through the Representatives specifically for inclusion therein it being understood and agreed that the only such information furnished by any Underwriter consists of the information set forth in Schedule IV hereto, or arises out of, or based upon, statements in or omissions from that part of the Registration Statement that shall constitute the Statement of Eligibility under the Trust Indenture Act of the Indenture Trustee with respect to any indenture qualified pursuant to the Registration Statement; and provided further, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 11 shall not inure to the benefit of any Underwriter (or of any officer or director of such Underwriter or of any person controlling such Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) on account of any such losses, claims, damages, liabilities, expenses or actions, joint or several, arising from the sale of the Bonds to any person if a copy of the Pricing Prospectus (including any amendment or supplement thereto if any amendments or supplements thereto shall have been furnished to the Underwriters at or prior to the time of entry into the contract for such sale of the Bonds) (exclusive of the Incorporated Documents) shall not have been given or sent to such person by or on behalf of such Underwriter with or prior to the entry into the contract for the sale of the Bonds to such person, unless the alleged omission or alleged untrue statement was not corrected in the Pricing Prospectus (including any amendment or supplement thereto if any amendments or supplements thereto shall have been furnished to the Underwriters at or prior to the time of entry into the contract for such sale of the Bonds) at the time of entry into the contract for such sale of the Bonds.

b.Each Underwriter severally agrees to indemnify and hold harmless ENO and the Issuer, each of their directors, officers and managers, each of their officers, directors or managers who signs the Registration Statement, and each person who controls ENO or the Issuer within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, against any and all losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which they or any of them may become subject under the Financing Act, the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other federal or state statutory law or regulation, at common law or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon, (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement as originally filed or in any amendment or supplement thereof, (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Pricing Prospectus, the Final Prospectus, the Issuer Free Writing Prospectuses or in any amendment thereof or amendment or supplement thereto, (iii) the omission or alleged omission to state in the Registration Statement, the Pricing Prospectus, the Final Prospectus or the Issuer Free Writing Prospectuses a material fact required to

be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, but only with reference to written information relating to such Underwriter furnished to the Issuer or ENO by or on behalf of such Underwriter through the Representatives specifically for inclusion in the documents referred to in the foregoing indemnity it being understood and agreed that the only such information furnished by any Underwriter consists of the information set forth in Schedule IV hereto. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability that any Underwriter may otherwise have.

c.ENO and the Underwriters each shall, upon the receipt of notice of the commencement of any action against it or any person controlling it as aforesaid, in respect of which indemnity may be sought on account of any indemnity agreement contained herein, promptly give written notice of the commencement thereof to the party or parties against whom indemnity shall be sought under (a) or (b) above, but the failure to notify such indemnifying party or parties of any such action shall not relieve such indemnifying party or parties from any liability hereunder to the extent such indemnifying party or parties is/are not materially prejudiced as a result of such failure to notify and in any event shall not relieve such indemnifying party or parties from any liability which it or they may have to the indemnified party otherwise than on account of such indemnity agreement. In case such notice of any such action shall be so given, such indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate at its own expense in the defense, or, if it so elects, to assume (in conjunction with any other indemnifying parties) the defense of such action, in which event such defense shall be conducted by counsel chosen by such indemnifying party or parties and reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party or parties who shall be defendant or defendants in such action, and such defendant or defendants shall bear the fees and expenses of any additional counsel retained by them; but if the indemnifying party shall elect not to assume the defense of such action, such indemnifying party will reimburse such indemnified party or parties for the reasonable fees and expenses of any counsel retained by them; provided, however, that if the defendants in any such action (including impleaded parties) include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and counsel for the indemnifying party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be a conflict of interest involved in the representation by a single counsel of both the indemnifying party and the indemnified party, the indemnified party or parties shall have the right to select separate counsel, satisfactory to the indemnifying party, whose reasonable fees and expenses shall be paid by such indemnifying party, to participate in the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified party or parties (it being understood, however, that the indemnifying party shall not be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate counsel (in addition to local counsel) representing the indemnified parties who are parties to such action). Each of ENO, the Issuer and the Underwriters agrees that without the other party’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, it will not settle, compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any claim in respect of which indemnification may be sought under the indemnification provisions of this Underwriting Agreement, unless such settlement, compromise or consent (i) includes an unconditional release of such other party from all liability arising out of such claim and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of such other party.

d.In the event that the indemnity provided in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 11 is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party for any reason, ENO, the Issuer and the Underwriters agree to contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or defending same) (collectively “Losses”) to which the Issuer and one or more of the Underwriters may be subject in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Issuer and ENO, on the one hand, and by such Underwriter, on the other hand, from the offering of the Bonds. If the allocation provided by the immediately preceding sentence is unavailable for any reason, ENO, the Issuer and the Underwriters shall contribute in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of ENO, the Issuer and the applicable Underwriter respectively in connection

with the statements or omissions that resulted in such Losses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. Relative fault shall be determined by reference to whether any alleged untrue statement or omission relates to information provided by ENO, the Issuer or such Underwriter, as the case may be. ENO, the Issuer and the Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution were determined by pro rata allocation or any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above. Notwithstanding the provisions of this paragraph (d), no person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. For purposes of this Section 11, each person who controls an Underwriter within the meaning of either the Securities Act or the Exchange Act and each director or officer of an Underwriter shall have the same rights to contribution as such Underwriter, and each person who controls the Issuer or ENO within the meaning of either the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, each director, officer or manager of the Issuer or ENO who shall have signed the Registration Statement and each director, officer or manager of the Issuer or ENO shall have the same rights to contribution as the Issuer or ENO, subject in each case to the applicable terms and conditions of this paragraph (d). The Underwriters’ obligations in this Section 11 to contribute are several in proportion to the respective principal amounts of Bonds set forth opposite their names in Schedule II hereto and not joint. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 11, no Underwriter shall be required to contribute in excess of the amount equal to the excess of (i) the total underwriting fees, discounts and commissions received by it, over (ii) the amount of any damages which such Underwriter has otherwise been required to pay by reason of any such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission.

12. Termination.

This Underwriting Agreement shall be subject to termination in the absolute discretion of the Representatives, by written notice given to ENO and the Issuer prior to delivery of and payment for the Bonds, if prior to such time (i) there shall have occurred any change, or any development involving a prospective change, in or affecting either (A) the business, properties or financial condition of the Issuer or ENO or (B) the Storm Recovery Property, the Bonds, the Financing Order or the Financing Act, the effect of which, in either case and in the reasonable judgment of the Representatives, materially impairs the investment quality of the Bonds or makes it impractical or inadvisable to market the Bonds, (ii) trading in securities generally on the New York Stock Exchange shall have been suspended or limited or minimum prices shall have been established on such Exchange, (iii) a banking moratorium shall have been declared either by federal, State of New York or State of Louisiana authorities, (iv) there shall have occurred a material disruption in securities settlement, payment or clearing systems, (v) there shall have occurred any outbreak or escalation of hostilities, declaration by the United States of a national emergency or war or (vi) there shall have occurred any terrorist act in the United States or any other calamity (including any natural calamity, such as an earthquake) or crisis or any change in financial, political or economic condition in the United States or elsewhere, if the effect of any such event specified in clause (v) or (vi), in the reasonable judgment of the Representatives, makes it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the offering or delivery of the Bonds as contemplated by the Final Prospectus (exclusive of any amendment or supplement thereto).

13. Representation, Warranty and Covenant of the Underwriters.

The Underwriters, severally and not jointly, represent, warrant and agree with the Issuer and ENO that, unless the Underwriters obtained, or will obtain, the prior written consent of the Issuer or ENO, the Underwriters (a) have not delivered, and will not deliver, any Rating Information (as defined below) to any Rating Agency until and unless the Issuer or ENO advises the Underwriters that such Rating Information is posted to the Issuer’s website maintained by the Issuer pursuant to paragraph (a)(3)(iii)(B) of Rule 17g-5 under the Exchange Act in the same form as it will be provided to such Rating Agency, and (b) have not participated, and will not participate, with any Rating Agency in any oral

communication of any Rating Information without the participation of a representative of the Issuer or ENO.  For purposes of this Section 13, “Rating Information” means any information provided to a Rating Agency for the purpose of determining an initial credit rating on the Bonds. 

14. Absence of Fiduciary Relationship.

Each of the Issuer and ENO acknowledges and agrees that the Issuer and ENO, respectively, each have arm’s length business relationships with the Underwriters and their affiliates, that create no fiduciary duty on the part of the Underwriters and their affiliates, in connection with all aspects of the transactions contemplated by this Underwriting Agreement, and each such party expressly disclaims any fiduciary relationship. Nothing in this Section is intended to modify in any way the Underwriters’ obligations expressly set forth in the Underwriting Agreement. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Underwriting Agreement, immediately upon commencement of discussions with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby, the Issuer and ENO (and each employee, representative or other agent of the Issuer or ENO, as the case may be) may disclose to any and all persons, without limitation of any kind, the tax treatment and tax structure of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to the Issuer or ENO relating to such tax treatment and tax structure. For purposes of the foregoing, the term “tax treatment” is the purported or claimed federal, state or local income tax treatment of the sale of the Storm Recovery Property, the collection of the Storm Recovery Charges or the payment on the Bonds, and the term “tax structure” includes any fact that may be relevant to understanding the purported or claimed federal, state or local income tax treatment of the transactions contemplated hereby.
