Holders of the Energy Holdings notes who validly tendered and did not validly withdraw Energy Holdings notes at or prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the early participation date, and whose tenders are accepted for exchange by PSEG Power, will receive the "total exchange consideration", which will be, for each $1,000 principal amount of Energy Holdings notes tendered and accepted, $1,100.00 of consideration comprised of:

Eligible holders who validly tender Energy Holdings notes after the early participation date but at or prior to the expiration date, and whose tenders are accepted for exchange by PSEG Power, will receive the total exchange consideration minus the early participation payment.
