(A) PSEG entered into various interest rate swaps to hedge the fair value of certain debt at Power. The fair value adjustments from these hedges are reflected as offsets to long-term debt on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. For additional information, see Note 16. Financial Risk Management Activities.

(B) In September 2009, Power completed an exchange offer with eligible holders of Energy Holdings' 8.50% Senior Notes due 2011 in order to manage long-term debt maturities. Since the debt exchange was between two subsidiaries of the same parent company, PSEG, and treated as a debt modification for accounting purposes, the resulting premium was deferred and is being amortized over the term of the newly issued debt. The deferred amount is reflected as an offset to Long-Term Debt on PSEG's Consolidated Balance Sheet.

(C) The Pennsylvania Economic Development Authority (PEDFA) bond is a variable rate bond that is in weekly reset mode.

(D) Secured by essentially all property of PSE&G pursuant to its First and Refunding Mortgage.

(E) Non-recourse financing transactions consist of loans from banks and other lenders that are typically secured by project assets and cash flows and generally impose no material obligation on the parent-level investor to repay any debt incurred by the project borrower. The consequences of permitting a project-level default include the potential for loss of any invested equity by the parent.

(F) As a result of the Dynegy bankruptcy proceedings, Energy Holdings ceased leveraged lease accounting and recorded the related nonrecourse project debt on its balance sheet at its fair value of $50 million.
