     “Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United States Treasury security selected by an Independent Investment Banker as having a maturity comparable to the remaining term of the Secured Medium-Term Notes to be redeemed (assuming that the Secured Medium-Term Notes matured on September 1, 2045) that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to such remaining term of the Secured Medium-Term Notes to be redeemed.

     “Comparable Treasury Price” means, with respect to any redemption date during the Make Whole Redemption Period, (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.
