     “Comparable Treasury Price” means, with respect to any redemption date, (i) the average of three Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such redemption date, after excluding the highest and lowest of five Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (ii) if the Trustee is unable to obtain five Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations so obtained.

     “Independent Investment Banker” means one of the Reference Treasury Dealers appointed by PSE&G and acceptable to the Trustee.
