PROSPECTUS

Senior Debt Securities

     We may offer from time to time, together or separately, one or more series of our unsecured senior debt securities. The Debt Securities will rank equally with all of our other unsubordinated and unsecured indebtedness. The Debt Securities will be fully and unconditionally guaranteed jointly and severally by our three principal operating subsidiaries as described in this prospectus. The guarantees rank equally with these subsidiaries’ unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness.

     When a particular series of Debt Securities is offered, we will prepare a prospectus supplement setting forth the particular terms of the offered Debt Securities. You should read this prospectus and any prospectus supplement carefully before you make any decision to invest in the Debt Securities.

     The Senior Debt Securities may be offered in amounts, at initial offering prices, and on terms to be determined at the time of offering.

     We will sell the Debt Securities directly, through agents, underwriters or dealers as designated from time to time, or through a combination of such methods. If any such agents, underwriters or dealers are involved in the sale of the Debt Securities in respect of which this prospectus is being delivered, the names of such agents, underwriters or dealers and any applicable agent’s commission, underwriter’s discount or dealer’s purchase price and the net proceeds to us from such sale will be set forth in, or may be calculated on the basis set forth in, the applicable prospectus supplement. See “Plan of Distribution” for possible indemnification arrangements for any such agents, underwriters and dealers.

     This prospectus may not be used to consummate sales of the Debt Securities without the delivery of one or more prospectus supplements.

     Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or passed on the adequacy or accuracy of this prospectus. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

     Investing in our Debt Securities involves risks. You should carefully review “Risk Factors” beginning on page 6 of this prospectus, as well as the risk factors contained in our most recently filed Annual Report on Form 10-K and our other periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and incorporated by reference into this prospectus before you invest in any of our Debt Securities.

The date of this prospectus is November 18, 2014.

ABOUT THIS PROSPECTUS

     This prospectus is part of a registration statement that PSEG Power LLC filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) utilizing a “shelf” registration process. Under this shelf process, we may, from time to time, sell the Debt Securities described in this prospectus in one or more offerings of one or more series. Each time we sell Debt Securities, we will provide a prospectus supplement that will contain specific information about the terms of that offering. The prospectus supplement may also add, update or change information contained in this prospectus. You should read both this prospectus and any prospectus supplement together with the additional information described under the heading “Where You Can Find More Information.”

     We believe that we have included or incorporated by reference all information material to investors in this prospectus, but certain details that may be important for specific investment purposes have not been included. To see more detail, you should read the exhibits filed with or incorporated by reference into the registration statement.

WHERE YOU CAN FIND MORE INFORMATION

     We file annual, quarterly and current reports and other information with the SEC. You may read and copy any material on file with the SEC at the SEC’s Public Reference Room at 100 F Street, N.E., Washington, D.C. 20549. Our filings are also available to the public over the Internet at the SEC’s web site at http://www.sec.gov. Please call the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330 for further information on the Public Reference Room.

     The SEC allows us to “incorporate by reference” information that we file with it, which means that we can disclose important information to you by referring you to those documents. The information incorporated by reference or deemed incorporated by reference is an important part of this prospectus, and information that we file later with the SEC will be deemed to automatically update and supersede this incorporated information. We incorporate by reference the following documents filed with the SEC.

• Our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2014, June 30, 2014 and September 30, 2014; and

• Our Current Reports on Form 8-K filed on February 21, 2014 and July 17, 2014.

     We also incorporate by reference any future filings made with the SEC under Section 13(a), 13(c), 14, or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), on or after the date of this prospectus and prior to the termination of any particular offering of Debt Securities, except, in each case, for current reports on Form 8-K containing only disclosure furnished under items 2.02 or 7.01 of Form 8-K and exhibits relating to such disclosure, unless otherwise specifically stated in the Form 8-K.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

     This prospectus and any prospectus supplement, including documents incorporated by reference or deemed to be incorporated by reference, include “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All statements, other than statements of historical facts, included in this prospectus and any prospectus supplement or in documents incorporated by reference or deemed to be incorporated by reference that address activities, events or developments that we expect or anticipate will or may occur in the future, including such matters as our future performance, future capital expenditures and growth, revenues, earnings, business strategy, market and industry developments and prospects, are forward-looking statements. When used in this prospectus, any prospectus supplement or in documents incorporated by reference or deemed to be incorporated by reference, the words “will”, “anticipate”, “intend”, “estimate”, “believe”, “expect”, “plan”, “should”, “hypothetical”, “potential”, “forecast”, “project”, variations of such words and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements are based on assumptions and analyses made by us in light of our experience and our perception of historical trends, current conditions and expected future developments as well as other factors we believe are appropriate under the circumstances. However, actual results and developments may differ materially from our expectations and predictions due to a number of risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond our control. Certain factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated in any forward-looking statements are discussed in the Risk Factors and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations sections of our most recently filed Annual Report on Form 10-K and any subsequently filed Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and in the notes to our financial statements and other information filed with the SEC. These factors include, but are not limited to:

• adverse changes in the demand for or the price of the capacity and energy that we sell into wholesale electricity markets;

• adverse changes in energy industry law, policies and regulation, including market structures and a potential shift away from competitive markets toward subsidized market mechanisms, capacity market design, transmission planning and cost allocation rules, including how transmission projects are planned, and reliability standards;

• changes in federal and state environmental regulations and enforcement that could increase our costs or limit our operations;

• changes in nuclear regulation and/or general developments in the nuclear power industry, including various impacts from any accidents or incidents experienced at our facilities or by others in the industry, that could limit operations of our nuclear generating units;

• actions or activities at one of our nuclear units located on a multi-unit site that might adversely affect our ability to continue to operate that unit or other units at the same site;

• any inability to manage our energy obligations, available supply and risks;

• adverse outcomes of any legal, regulatory or other proceeding, settlement, investigation or claim applicable to us and/or the energy industry;

• any deterioration in our credit quality or the credit quality of our counterparties;

• availability of capital and credit at commercially reasonable terms and conditions and our ability to meet cash needs;

• changes in the cost of, or interruption in the supply of, fuel and other commodities necessary to the operation of our generating units;

• delays in the receipt of necessary permits and approvals for our construction and development activities;

• delays or unforeseen cost escalations in our construction and development activities;

• any inability to achieve, or continue to sustain, our expected levels of operating performance;

4

• any equipment failures, accidents, severe weather events or other incidents that impact our ability to provide safe and reliable service to our customers, and any inability to obtain sufficient coverage or recover proceeds of insurance with respect to such events;

• acts of terrorism, cybersecurity attacks or intrusions that could adversely impact our business;

• increases in competition in energy supply markets;

• any inability to realize anticipated tax benefits or retain tax credits;

• challenges associated with recruitment and/or retention of a qualified workforce;

• adverse performance of our decommissioning and defined benefit plan trust fund investments and changes in funding requirements;

• changes in technology, such as distributed generation and micro grids, and greater reliance on these technologies; and

• changes in customer behaviors, including increases in energy efficiency, net-metering and demand response.

     Additional information concerning these factors is set forth or referred to under “Risk Factors”.

     All of the forward-looking statements made in this prospectus and any prospectus supplement and in documents incorporated by reference or deemed to be incorporated by reference are qualified by these cautionary statements and we cannot assure you that the results or developments anticipated by us will be realized or, even if realized, will have the expected consequences to, or effects on, us or our business prospects, financial condition or results of operations. You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements in making your investment decision to purchase any Debt Securities. Except as may be required by the federal securities laws, we expressly disclaim any obligation or undertaking to release publicly any updates or revisions to these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances that occur or arise or are anticipated to occur or arise after the date hereof. In making an investment decision regarding the Debt Securities, we are not making, and you should not infer, any representation about the likely existence of any particular future set of facts or circumstances. The forward-looking statements contained in this prospectus, any prospectus supplement and the documents incorporated by reference or deemed to be incorporated by reference into this prospectus and any prospectus supplement are intended to qualify for the safe harbor provisions of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Exchange Act.

PSEG POWER LLC

     We are a multi-regional, wholesale energy supply company that integrates our generating asset operations and gas supply commitments with our wholesale energy, fuel supply and energy trading functions, primarily in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic U.S., through three principal direct, wholly-owned subsidiaries: PSEG Fossil LLC (“Fossil”), PSEG Nuclear LLC (“Nuclear”) and PSEG Energy Resources & Trade LLC (“ER&T”). Fossil and Nuclear own and operate generation and generation-related facilities. ER&T is responsible for the day-to-day management of our energy portfolio. A fourth direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of ours, PSEG Power Ventures LLC (“Ventures”), develops, owns, and operates large renewable energy projects. Fossil, Nuclear, ER&T and certain subsidiaries of Ventures are subject to regulation by, among others, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission and Nuclear is also subject to regulation by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

     We are a wholly-owned subsidiary of Public Service Enterprise Group Incorporated (“PSEG”). PSEG is a public utility holding company and one of the leading providers of energy and energy-related services in the nation. PSEG has four other direct, wholly-owned subsidiaries: Public Service Electric and Gas Company (“PSE&G”), PSEG Energy Holdings L.L.C. (“Energy Holdings”), PSEG Long Island LLC (“PSEG LI”) and PSEG Services Corporation (“Services”). PSE&G is New Jersey’s largest public utility and is engaged principally in the transmission, distribution and sale of electric energy and gas service in New Jersey. Energy Holdings earns its revenues primarily from its portfolio of lease investments. PSEG LI operates the Long Island Power Authority’s transmission and distribution system under a contractual agreement. Services provides corporate support and managerial and administrative services to PSEG and its affiliates.

     We are a Delaware limited liability company with principal executive offices located at 80 Park Plaza, Newark, New Jersey 07102; our telephone number is 973-430-7000. In this prospectus, unless otherwise indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, “we”, “our” and “us” refer to PSEG Power LLC and its consolidated subsidiaries.

     You can obtain additional information about us in the reports and other documents incorporated by reference in this prospectus. See “Where You Can Find More Information.”

RISK FACTORS

     In addition to the risk factors contained in our most recently filed Annual Report on Form 10-K and our other periodic reports filed with the SEC and incorporated by reference into this prospectus, as well as those risk factors that may be included in the applicable prospectus supplement and other information contained in the documents incorporated by reference or elsewhere in this prospectus, prospective investors should carefully consider the risks described below before making a decision to purchase the Debt Securities. Such factors could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition, results of operations or net cash flows and on the trading price of the Debt Securities. Such factors could affect actual results and cause our results to differ materially from those expressed in any forward-looking statements made by, or on behalf of, us. See “Forward-Looking Statements.”

Because We are a Holding Company, our Ability to Service Our Debt Could Be Limited

     We are a holding company with no material assets other than the stock or membership interests of our subsidiaries. Accordingly, all of our operations are conducted by our subsidiaries. We depend on our subsidiaries’ cash flow and our access to capital in order to service our indebtedness. Any project-related debt agreements of subsidiaries will generally restrict their ability to pay dividends, make cash distributions or otherwise transfer funds to us. These restrictions may include achieving and maintaining financial performance or debt coverage ratios, absence of events of default, or priority in payment of other current or prospective obligations. Our subsidiaries’ ability to pay dividends, make cash distributions or otherwise transfer funds to us may also be limited or restricted by regulatory considerations or applicable law.

     Our subsidiaries may finance some investments using non-recourse project level financing. A non-recourse project financing is generally structured to be repaid out of cash flows provided by the investment. In the event of a default under a financing agreement which is not cured, the lenders would generally have rights to the related assets. In the event of foreclosure after a default, our subsidiary may lose its equity in the asset or may not be entitled to any cash that the asset may generate.

     We can give no assurances that our current and future capital structure, operating performance or financial condition will permit us to access the capital markets or to obtain other financing at the times, in the amounts and on the terms necessary or advisable for us to successfully carry out our business strategy or to service our indebtedness.

The Indenture Restricts Our Ability to Enter into Certain Transactions

     The Indenture (as defined below under “Description of Debt Securities”) restricts our ability and the ability of our Restricted Subsidiaries (as defined below under “Description of Debt Securities”) to, among other things:

• in the case of our Restricted Subsidiaries, incur certain indebtedness;

• create or permit to exist liens;

• in the case of our Restricted Subsidiaries, create or permit to exist dividend or payment restrictions with respect to us;

• sell assets; and

• engage in mergers and consolidations.

     These restrictions may limit our ability to finance future operations, respond to changing business and economic conditions, secure any needed additional financing and engage in opportunistic transactions. See “Description of Debt Securities — Selected Indenture Covenants.”

6

PSEG Could Exercise Its Control Over Us to the Detriment of Holders of the Debt Securities

     Our sole limited liability company member, PSEG, controls the election of our directors and all other matters submitted for member approval and has control over our management and affairs. In circumstances involving a conflict of interest between PSEG, as the sole member, on the one hand, and our creditors, on the other, we can give no assurance that PSEG would not exercise its power to control us in a manner that would benefit PSEG to the detriment of our creditors, including the holders of the Debt Securities.

     The Indenture imposes no limitations on our ability to pay dividends or to make other payments to PSEG or on our ability to enter into transactions with PSEG or our other affiliates.

Federal and State Statutes May Limit Your Rights as a Holder

     Each of our Restricted Subsidiaries will guarantee our obligations on the Debt Securities (each a “Subsidiary Guarantee”). See “Description of Debt Securities — Selected Indenture Covenants — Guarantee of Debt Securities.”

     Under the federal bankruptcy law and comparable provisions of state fraudulent transfer laws, a court could find that the Subsidiary Guarantee provided by a Restricted Subsidiary constituted a fraudulent conveyance by that Restricted Subsidiary. To do so, a court would typically have to find that, at the time the Subsidiary Guarantee was issued, the relevant Restricted Subsidiary:

• issued the Subsidiary Guarantee with the intent of hindering, delaying or defrauding its current or future creditors; or

• (a) received less than fair consideration or reasonably equivalent value for incurring the indebtedness represented by its Subsidiary Guarantee; and (b) either (i) was insolvent or was rendered insolvent by reason of the issuance of the Subsidiary Guarantee or would be rendered insolvent upon payment of the Subsidiary Guarantee, (ii) was engaged, or about to engage, in a business or transaction for which its remaining unencumbered assets constituted unreasonably small capital or (iii) intended to incur, or believed or should have believed it would incur, debts beyond its ability to pay as such debts mature.

     Many of the foregoing terms are defined in or interpreted under those statutes.

     Different jurisdictions define “insolvency” differently. However, an entity generally would be considered insolvent at the time it incurred any particular obligation if (1) its liabilities exceeded its assets, at a fair valuation, (2) the present fair saleable value of its assets was less than the amount required to pay its total existing debts and liabilities (including any probable liability related to contingent liabilities) as they became absolute and matured or (3) it could not pay its debts as they became due. We cannot assure you of the standard a court would apply in order to determine whether any Restricted Subsidiary was “insolvent” as of the date the applicable Subsidiary Guarantee was issued, or that regardless of the method of valuation, a court would not determine, regardless of whether such Restricted Subsidiary was insolvent on the date the Subsidiary Guarantee was issued, that the payments constituted fraudulent transfers on another ground.

     If a court were to make any such finding, it could:

• void all or a portion of the relevant Restricted Subsidiary’s obligations on the Subsidiary Guarantees; and/or

• seek to recover any payments made on account of the relevant Subsidiary Guarantee.

     In addition, any claims in respect of a Subsidiary Guarantee could be subordinated to all other debts of the relevant Restricted Subsidiary under principles of “equitable subordination,” which generally require that the claimant must have engaged in some type of inequitable conduct; the misconduct must have resulted in injury to the creditors of the debtor or conferred an unfair advantage on the claimant; and equitable subordination must not be inconsistent with other provisions of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code.

     In any such event, we cannot assure you that you would receive any payment under the Subsidiary Guarantee of the relevant Restricted Subsidiary.

7

There is No Trading Market for the Debt Securities

     We do not intend to list any series of the Debt Securities on any U.S. securities exchange. We can give no assurance that an active trading market for the Debt Securities will develop or, if one develops, will be maintained or be liquid. If an active trading market does not develop or is not maintained, investors may not be able to sell their Debt Securities when desired, or perhaps at all, or be able to sell the Debt Securities at a price equal to or above the price the investors paid for them. The Debt Securities may not be appropriate as a short-term investment, and investors should consider the potentially illiquid and long-term nature of their investment in the Debt Securities before making an investment decision.

CONSOLIDATED RATIOS OF EARNINGS TO FIXED CHARGES

     Our consolidated ratios of earnings to fixed charges for each of the periods indicated are as follows:

	Nine Months Ended September 30, 2014	Years Ended December 31,
		2013	2012	2011	2010	2009
Ratios of Earnings to Fixed Charges1	7.41	8.37	7.63	9.08	8.82	9.68

1 The term Earnings shall be defined as pre-tax income from continuing operations before income or loss from equity method investees plus distributed income from equity investees, plus the amount of fixed charges adjusted to exclude the amount of any interest capitalized during the period. Fixed Charges represent (a) interest, whether expensed or capitalized, (b) amortization of debt discount, premium and expense and (c) an estimate of interest implicit in rentals.

USE OF PROCEEDS

     Unless we state otherwise in the accompanying prospectus supplement, the net proceeds from the sale of the Debt Securities will be added to our general funds and will be used for general corporate purposes.

DESCRIPTION OF DEBT SECURITIES

     We may issue our Debt Securities from time to time. The Debt Securities will be issued under an Indenture dated as of April 16, 2001, as amended and supplemented by the First Supplemental Indenture dated as of March 13, 2002 (the “Indenture”), among us and The Bank of New York Mellon as Trustee (the “Trustee”). The Indenture is filed as an exhibit to the registration statement. The Indenture is subject to and governed by the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the “TIA”). Selected provisions of the Indenture have been summarized below. This summary is not complete. You should read the Indenture for provisions that may be important to you. In the summary below, references to section numbers of the Indenture are included so that you can easily locate these provisions. Capitalized terms used in the summary have the meanings specified in the Indenture. Parenthetical references below are to the Indenture or to the TIA, as applicable. In this section, references to “we”, “our” and “us” refer to PSEG Power LLC, except where the context otherwise requires.

General

     The Debt Securities will be our senior unsecured obligations. They will rank equally with all of our other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness. Each series of Debt Securities will be guaranteed, jointly and severally, by Fossil, Nuclear and ER&T (the “Subsidiary Guarantors”) as described below. The Subsidiary Guarantees will rank equally in right of payment to all existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness of the Subsidiary Guarantors. Other than intercompany debt, the Subsidiary Guarantors currently have no indebtedness outstanding. As of October 31, 2014, we had issued and outstanding under the Indenture and the Subsidiary Guarantors had guaranteed senior indebtedness totaling $2.5 billion. As of that date, we had no amounts issued and outstanding under our credit facilities, which have a capacity totaling $2.7 billion and which are guaranteed, jointly and severally, by the Subsidiary Guarantors.

     We have the ability to issue Debt Securities with terms different from those of Debt Securities previously issued and, without the consent of the holders thereof, to reopen a previous series of Debt Securities and issue additional Debt Securities of such series (unless such reopening was restricted when such series was created).

Provisions Applicable to Particular Series

     The Indenture provides that any Debt Securities proposed to be sold pursuant to this prospectus and an accompanying prospectus supplement (the “Offered Securities”), as well as other of our unsecured debt

8

securities, may be issued under the Indenture in one or more series, as authorized by us from time to time. The particular terms of such Offered Securities and any modifications of or additions to the general terms of the Debt Securities as described in this prospectus that may be applicable in the case of the Offered Securities will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement. Accordingly, for a description of the terms of any Offered Securities, you should refer to both the prospectus supplement for that series and the description of Debt Securities set forth in this prospectus.

     You should refer to the prospectus supplement for the following information for each particular series of Offered Securities:

• The title of such Debt Securities.

• The aggregate principal amount of such Debt Securities and any limit on the aggregate principal amount of Debt Securities of such series.

• If other than the principal amount thereof, the portion of the principal amount thereof payable upon declaration of acceleration of the maturity thereof or the method by which such portion will be determined.

• The date or dates, or the method by which such date or dates will be determined or extended, on which the principal of such Debt Securities will be payable.

• The rate or rates at which such Debt Securities will bear interest, if any, or the method by which such rate or rates will be determined, the date or dates from which such interest will accrue or the method by which such date or dates will be determined, the date or dates on which such interest, if any, will be payable and the Regular Record Date or Dates, if any, for the interest payable on any Registered Security on any Interest Payment Date, or the method by which any such date will be determined, and the basis upon which interest will be calculated if other than that of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.

• The date or dates on which or the period or periods within which, the price or prices at which and the other terms and conditions upon which, such Debt Securities may be redeemed, in whole or in part, at our option and whether we are to have that option.

     The Indenture also provides that there may be more than one Trustee thereunder, each with respect to one or more different series of Debt Securities. See “ — The Trustee” herein. At a time when two or more Trustees are acting under the Indenture, each with respect to only certain series, the term Debt Securities, as used herein, will mean the one or more series with respect to which each respective Trustee is acting. In the event that there is more than one Trustee under the Indenture, the powers and trust obligations of each Trustee as described herein will extend only to the one or more series of Debt Securities for which it is Trustee. If two or more Trustees are acting under the Indenture, then the Debt Securities for which each Trustee is acting would in effect be treated as if issued under separate indentures.

     The general provisions of the Indenture do not contain any provisions that would limit our ability to incur indebtedness or that would afford holders of Debt Securities protection in the event of a highly leveraged or similar transaction. Reference is made to the prospectus supplement for information with respect to any deletions from, modifications of or additions to the Events of Default or the covenants that are described below, including any addition of a covenant or other provision providing event risk or similar protection.

Denominations, Registration and Transfer

     Debt Securities of a series may be issuable solely as Registered Securities, solely as Bearer Securities or as both Registered Securities and Bearer Securities. The Indenture also provides that Debt Securities of a series may be issuable in global form. (Section 203) See “ — Book-Entry Debt Securities”. Unless otherwise provided in the prospectus supplement, Debt Securities denominated in U.S. dollars (other than Global Securities, which may be of any denomination) are issuable in denominations of $1,000, or any integral multiples of $1,000, in the case of Registered Securities and in the denomination of $5,000 in the case of Bearer Securities. (Section 302) Unless otherwise indicated in the prospectus supplement, Bearer Securities will have interest coupons attached. (Section 201)

     Registered Securities will be exchangeable for other Registered Securities of the same series. If (but only if) provided in the prospectus supplement, Bearer Securities (with all unmatured coupons, except as provided below, and all matured coupons which are in default) of any series may be similarly exchanged for Registered Securities of the same series of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount and tenor. If so provided, Bearer Securities surrendered in exchange for Registered Securities between a Regular Record Date or a Special Record Date and the relevant date for payment of interest will be surrendered without the coupon relating to such date for payment of interest, and interest will not be payable in respect of the Registered Security issued in exchange for such Bearer Security, but will be payable only to the holder of such coupon when due in accordance with the terms of the Indenture. Unless otherwise specified in the prospectus supplement, Bearer Securities will not be issued in exchange for Registered Securities. (Section 305)

     Registered Securities of a series may be presented for registration of transfer and Debt Securities of a series may be presented for exchange

• at each office or agency required to be maintained by us for payment of such series as described in “ — Payment and Paying Agents,” and

• at each other office or agency that we may designate from time to time for such purposes.

     No service charge will be made for any transfer or exchange of Debt Securities, but we may require payment of any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith. (Section 305)

     We will not be required to:

• issue, register the transfer of or exchange Debt Securities during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before any selection of Debt Securities of that series to be redeemed and ending at the close of business on (A) the day of mailing of the relevant notice of redemption if Debt Securities of the series are issuable only as Registered Securities and (B) if Debt Securities of the series are issuable as Bearer Securities, the day of the first publication of the relevant notice of redemption, or, if Debt Securities of the series are also issuable as Registered Securities and there is no publication, the day of mailing of the relevant notice of redemption;

• register the transfer of or exchange any Registered Security, or portion thereof, called for redemption, except the unredeemed portion of any Registered Security being redeemed in part;

11

• exchange any Bearer Security called for redemption, except to exchange such Bearer Security for a Registered Security of that series and like tenor that is simultaneously surrendered for redemption; or

• issue, register the transfer of or exchange any Debt Security which has been surrendered for repayment at the option of the holder, except the portion, if any, of such Debt Security not to be so repaid. (Section 305)

Payment and Paying Agents

     Unless otherwise provided in the prospectus supplement, principal, premium, if any, and interest, if any, and Additional Amounts, if any, on Registered Securities will be payable at any office or agency to be maintained by us in Newark, New Jersey and New York, New York, except that at our option interest on an Interest Payment Date (including Additional Amounts, if any) may be paid (1) by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Security Register or (2) by wire transfer to an account maintained by the Person entitled thereto as specified in the Security Register. (Sections 307, 1001 and 1002) Unless otherwise provided in the prospectus supplement, payment of any installment of interest on Registered Securities will be made to the Person in whose name such Registered Security is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest. (Section 307)

     If Debt Securities of a series are issuable solely as Bearer Securities or as both Registered Securities and Bearer Securities, unless otherwise provided in the prospectus supplement, we will be required to maintain an office or agency (1) outside the United States at which, subject to any applicable laws and regulations, the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, on such series will be payable and (2) in The City of New York for payments with respect to any Registered Securities of such series (and for payments with respect to Bearer Securities of such series in the limited circumstances described below, but not otherwise). (Section 1002) The initial locations of such offices and agencies will be specified in the prospectus supplement. Unless otherwise provided in the prospectus supplement, principal of (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, on Bearer Securities may be paid by wire transfer to an account maintained by the Person entitled thereto with a bank located outside the United States. (Sections 307 and 1002) Unless otherwise provided in the prospectus supplement, payment of installments of interest on any Bearer Securities on or before Maturity will be made only against surrender of coupons for such interest installments as they severally mature. (Section 1001) Unless otherwise provided in the prospectus supplement, no payment with respect to any Bearer Security will be made at any office or agency we maintain in the United States or by check mailed to any address in the United States or by transfer to an account maintained with a bank located in the United States. Notwithstanding the foregoing, payments of principal of (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, on Bearer Securities payable in U.S. dollars will be made at the office of our Paying Agent in The City of New York if (but only if) payment of the full amount thereof in U.S. dollars at all offices or agencies outside the United States is illegal or effectively precluded by exchange controls or other similar restrictions. (Section 1002)

     We may from time to time designate additional offices or agencies, approve a change in the location of any office or agency and, except as provided above, rescind the designation of any office or agency.

• default for five days in the payment when due of interest on any of the Debt Securities of such series;

• default in the payment when due of the principal of, or premium, if any, or make-whole amount, if any, on any of the Debt Securities of such series;

• default under any mortgage, indenture or instrument under which there may be issued or by which there may be secured or evidenced any of our or any of our Subsidiaries’ indebtedness (including indebtedness represented by any other series of Debt Securities under the Indenture or the payment of which is guaranteed by us or by any of our Restricted Subsidiaries) (but other than Non-Recourse Obligations) whether such indebtedness or guarantee now exists or is created after the date of the Indenture, which default (a) is caused by a failure to pay the principal of such indebtedness at the Stated Maturity of such indebtedness after the expiration of grace periods provided in the indebtedness (a “Payment Default”) or (b) has resulted in the acceleration of the indebtedness prior to its Stated

Maturity; and, in each case the principal amount of the indebtedness, together with the principal amount of any other indebtedness under which there has been a Payment Default or the maturity of which has been so accelerated, aggregates $50.0 million or more;

     Additional series of Debt Securities issued under the Indenture may specify other events of default for such series of Debt Securities.

     We are required to file with the Trustee, annually, an officer’s certificate as to our compliance with all conditions and covenants under the Indenture. (Section 1011) The Indenture provides that the Trustee may withhold notice to the holders of Debt Securities of a series of any default (except payment defaults on the Debt Securities of that series) if it considers it in the interest of the holders of Debt Securities of the series to do so. (Section 515)

     If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default occasioned by our or any of our Restricted Subsidiaries’ bankruptcy or insolvency) with respect to Debt Securities of a series has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of outstanding Debt Securities of that series may declare the principal (or, if the Debt Securities of that series are issued with original issue discount or are “indexed debt securities” (i.e., Debt Securities, the interest and principal payments on which are determined by reference to a particular index, such as a foreign currency or commodity), such portion of the principal as may be specified in the terms of those Debt Securities) of all of the Debt Securities of that series to be due and payable immediately, by a notice in writing to us. (Section 502)

     If an Event of Default occasioned by our or any of our Restricted Subsidiaries’ bankruptcy or insolvency occurs, the principal of and interest on all Debt Securities shall ipso facto become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any holders of Debt Securities.

     Subject to the provisions of the Indenture relating to the duties of the Trustee, in case an Event of Default with respect to Debt Securities of any series has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee is under no obligation to exercise any of its rights or powers under the Indenture at the request, order or direction of the holders of Debt Securities of that series, unless those holders have offered the Trustee indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against the expenses and liabilities which might be incurred by it in compliance with such request. (Section 602)

     Subject to certain exceptions, the holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Debt Securities of any series of Debt Securities will have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee with respect to the Debt Securities of that series. (Section 512)

     The holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Debt Securities of a series may, on behalf of the holders of all Debt Securities of such series and any related coupons, waive any past default under the Indenture with respect to such series and its consequences, except a default (i) in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest, if any, on any Debt Security of such series or any related coupons or (ii) in respect of a covenant or provision that cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the holder of each outstanding Debt Security of such series affected thereby. (Section 513)

Merger, Consolidation or Sale of Assets

     We may not, directly or indirectly, consolidate or merge with or into (whether or not we are the surviving entity) any other corporation, association, company, business trust or limited liability company, or sell, assign, transfer, lease, convey or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of our assets, in one or more related transactions, to another Person unless:

• the Person formed by the consolidation or surviving the merger or the Person that acquires by sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition, or that leases, the assets (if other than us) (in

21

each such case, the “Successor Entity”), is a corporation or limited liability company organized and existing under the laws of the United States, any State thereof or the District of Columbia and expressly assumes our obligations under the Indenture and the Debt Securities;

• if any of our or a Restricted Subsidiary’s Property or assets would become subject to a Lien other than a Permitted Lien under the “Limitation on Liens” covenant, the Debt Securities shall be equally and ratably secured in accordance with such covenant;

• immediately after such transaction no event exists that is or with the passage of time or the giving of notice or both would be an Event of Default under the Indenture; and

• each Subsidiary Guarantor shall have by amendment to its Subsidiary Guarantee with respect to the Debt Securities confirmed that its Subsidiary Guarantee shall apply to the obligations of the Successor Entity under the Indenture and each series of the Debt Securities. (Section 801)

Modification or Waiver

     Modification and amendment of the Indenture may be made by us and the Trustee with the consent of the holders of a majority in principal amount of all Outstanding Debt Securities that are affected by such modification or amendment; provided that no such modification or amendment may, without the consent of the holder of each Outstanding Debt Security affected thereby, among other things:

• change the Stated Maturity of the principal of (or premium, if any, on) or any installment of principal of or interest on any such Debt Security;

• reduce the principal amount of, or the rate (or change the manner of calculating the rate) or amount of interest in respect of, or any premium payable upon the redemption of, any such Debt Security;

• change any of our obligations to pay Additional Amounts in respect of any such Debt Security;

• reduce the portion of the principal of an Original Issue Discount Security or Indexed Security that would be due and payable upon a declaration of acceleration of the Maturity thereof or provable in bankruptcy;

• adversely affect any right of repayment at the option of the holder of any such Debt Security;

• change the place of payment of principal of, or any premium or interest on, any such Debt Security;

• impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after the Stated Maturity thereof or on or after any Redemption Date or Repayment Date, as the case may be;

• adversely affect any right to convert or exchange any Debt Security;

• reduce the percentage in principal amount of such Outstanding Debt Securities, the consent of whose holders is required to amend or waive compliance with certain provisions of the Indenture or to waive certain defaults thereunder;

• reduce the requirements for voting or quorum described below;

• modify any of the foregoing requirements or any of the provisions relating to waiving past defaults or compliance with certain restrictive provisions, except to increase the percentage of holders required to effect any such waiver or to provide that certain other provisions of the Indenture cannot be modified or waived without the consent of the holder of each Debt Security affected thereby; or

• modify or affect the terms and conditions of the obligations of any Subsidiary Guarantor in respect of the due and punctual payment of principal of, or any premium or interest on, Debt Securities. (Section 902)

     The holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of Outstanding Debt Securities have the right to waive our compliance with certain covenants in the Indenture. (Section 1012)

22

     Modification and amendment of the Indenture may be made by us and the Trustee thereunder, without the consent of any holder, for any of the following purposes:

• to evidence the succession of another Person to us and the assumption by any successor of our covenants under the Indenture and the Debt Securities;

• to add to our covenants for the benefit of the holders of all or any series of Debt Securities issued under the Indenture and any related coupons or to surrender any right or power conferred upon us by the Indenture;

• to add Events of Default for the benefit of the holders of all or any series of Debt Securities issued under the Indenture;

• to add to or change any provisions of the Indenture to facilitate the issuance of, or to liberalize the terms of, Bearer Securities, or to permit or facilitate the issuance of Debt Securities in uncertificated form, provided that any such actions do not adversely affect the holders of such Debt Securities or any related coupons in any material respect;

• to change or eliminate any provisions of the Indenture, provided that any such change or elimination will become effective only when there are no Debt Securities Outstanding of any series created prior thereto which are entitled to the benefit of such provisions;

• to secure the Debt Securities under the Indenture pursuant to the “Merger, Consolidation or Sale of Assets” covenant of the Indenture, or otherwise;

• to establish the form or terms of the Debt Securities of any series and any related coupons;

• to evidence and provide for the acceptance of appointment by a successor Trustee or facilitate the administration of the trusts under the Indenture by more than one Trustee;

• to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency in the Indenture, provided such action does not adversely affect the interests of holders of Debt Securities of any series issued under the Indenture or any related coupons in any material respect; or

• to supplement any of the provisions of the Indenture to the extent necessary to permit or facilitate the defeasance and discharge of any series of Debt Securities, provided that such action shall not adversely affect the interests of the holders of any such Debt Securities and any related coupons in any material respect. (Section 901)

     In determining whether the holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Debt Securities have given any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver under the Indenture or whether a quorum is present at a meeting of holders of Debt Securities, (1) the principal amount of an Original Issue Discount Security that will be deemed to be outstanding will be the amount of the principal thereof that would be due and payable as of the date of such determination upon acceleration of the Maturity thereof; (2) the principal amount of an Indexed Security that may be counted in making such determination or calculation and that will be deemed outstanding for such purpose will be equal to the principal face amount of such Indexed Security at original issuance, unless otherwise provided with respect to such Indexed Security pursuant to Section 301 of the Indenture; and (3) Debt Securities owned by us or any other obligor upon the Debt Securities or any Affiliate of ours or of such other obligor shall be disregarded. (Section 101)

     The Indenture contains provisions for convening meetings of the holders of Debt Securities of a series if Debt Securities of that series are issuable as Bearer Securities. (Section 1501) A meeting may be called at any time by the Trustee, and also, upon request, by us or the holders of at least 10% in principal amount of the Outstanding Debt Securities of that series, in any such case upon notice given as provided in the Indenture. (Section 1502) Except for any consent that must be given by the holder of each Debt Security affected thereby, as described above, any resolution presented at a meeting (or an adjourned meeting duly reconvened) at which a quorum is present may be adopted by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Debt Securities of that series; provided, however, that any resolution with respect to any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action that may be made, given or taken by the holders of a specified percentage which is less than a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Debt Securities of a series may be adopted at a meeting (or an adjourned meeting duly reconvened) at which a

23

quorum is present by the affirmative vote of the holders of such specified percentage in principal amount of the Outstanding Debt Securities of that series. Any resolution passed or decision taken at any meeting of holders of Debt Securities of a series duly held in accordance with the Indenture will be binding on all holders of Debt Securities of that series and any related coupons, whether or not present or represented at the meeting. The quorum at any meeting called to adopt a resolution will be persons holding or representing a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Debt Securities of a series; provided, however, that, if any action is to be taken at such meeting with respect to a consent or waiver which may be given by the holders of not less than a specified percentage in principal amount of the Outstanding Debt Securities of a series, the persons holding or representing such specified percentage in principal amount of the Outstanding Debt Securities of that series will constitute a quorum. (Section 1504)

     Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, if any action is to be taken at a meeting of holders of Debt Securities of a series with respect to any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action that the Indenture expressly provides may be made, given or taken by the holders of a specified percentage in principal amount of all Outstanding Debt Securities affected thereby or of the holders of such series and one or more additional series: (1) there shall be no minimum quorum requirement for such meeting; and (2) the principal amount of the Outstanding Debt Securities of such series that vote in favor of such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action will be taken into account in determining whether such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action has been made, given or taken under the Indenture. (Section 1504)

Satisfaction and Discharge, Legal Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance

     We may discharge certain obligations to holders of Debt Securities of a series that have not already been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation and that either have become due and payable or are by their terms due and payable within one year (or scheduled for redemption within one year) by irrevocably depositing with the Trustee, in trust, funds in an amount sufficient to pay the entire indebtedness on such Debt Securities for principal (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, and any Additional Amounts with respect thereto, to the date of such deposit (if such Debt Securities have become due and payable) or to the Stated Maturity or Redemption Date, as the case may be. (Section 401)

     The Indenture provides that, if the provisions of Article Fourteen are made applicable to the Debt Securities of or within any series and any related coupons pursuant to Section 301 thereunder, we may elect either

• to defease and be discharged from any and all obligations with respect to such Debt Securities and any related coupons (except for the obligations to pay Additional Amounts, if any, upon the occurrence of certain events of tax, assessment or governmental charge with respect to payments on such Debt Securities and the obligations to register the transfer or exchange of such Debt Securities and any related coupons, to replace temporary or mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Debt Securities and any related coupons, to maintain an office or agency in respect of such Debt Securities and any related coupons, and to hold moneys for payment in trust) (defeasance) (Section 1402) or

• to be released from our obligations under any covenant specified pursuant to Section 301 with respect to such Debt Securities and any related coupons, and any omission to comply with such obligations shall not constitute a default or an Event of Default with respect to such Debt Securities and any related coupons (covenant defeasance) (Section 1403), in either case upon the irrevocable deposit by us with the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee), in trust, of:

• an amount in U.S. dollars;

• Government Obligations (as defined below) applicable to such Debt Securities and coupons that through the payment of principal and interest in accordance with their terms will provide money in an amount; or

• a combination thereof in an amount

sufficient to pay the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, on such Debt Securities and any related coupons, and any mandatory sinking fund or analogous payments thereon, on the scheduled due dates therefor.

24

     Such a trust may only be established if, among other things, we have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel (as specified in the Indenture) to the effect that the holders of such Debt Securities and any related coupons will not recognize income, gain or loss for United States federal income tax purposes as a result of such defeasance or covenant defeasance and will be subject to United States federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such defeasance or covenant defeasance had not occurred, and such Opinion of Counsel, in the case of defeasance under the first clause above, must refer to and be based upon a ruling of the Internal Revenue Service or a change in applicable United States federal income tax law occurring after the date of the Indenture. (Section 1404)

     “Government Obligations” means securities which are (1) direct obligations of the United States or (2) obligations of a Person controlled or supervised by and acting as an agency or instrumentality of the United States, the payment of which is unconditionally guaranteed as a full faith and credit obligation by the United States, which are not callable or redeemable at the option of the issuer thereof. Government Obligations also include a depositary receipt issued by a bank or trust company as custodian with respect to any such Government Obligation or a specific payment of interest on or principal of any such Government Obligation held by such custodian for the account of the holder of a depositary receipt; provided that (except as required by law) such custodian is not authorized to make any deduction from the amount payable to the holder of such depositary receipt from the amount received by the custodian in respect of the Government Obligation or the specific payment of interest on or principal of the Government Obligation evidenced by such depositary receipt. (Section 101)

     In the event we effect covenant defeasance with respect to any Debt Securities and any related coupons and such Debt Securities and coupons are declared due and payable because of the occurrence of any Event of Default, other than Events of Default with respect to any covenant of which there has been defeasance, the amount of Government Obligations and funds on deposit with the Trustee will be sufficient to pay amounts due on such Debt Securities and coupons at the time of their Stated Maturity but may not be sufficient to pay amounts due on such Debt Securities and coupons at the time of the acceleration resulting from such Event of Default. In such case, we would remain liable to make payment of such amounts due at the time of acceleration.

     The prospectus supplement may further describe the provisions, if any, permitting such defeasance or covenant defeasance, including any modifications to the provisions described above, with respect to the Debt Securities of or within a particular series and any related coupons.

Book-Entry Debt Securities

     Unless otherwise specified in the applicable prospectus supplement, we will issue to investors Debt Securities in the form of one or more book-entry certificates registered in the name of a depositary or a nominee of a depositary. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable prospectus supplement, The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) will act as securities depositary for such book-entry securities. Debt Securities that are issued in book-entry form will be issued as fully-registered securities registered in the name of Cede & Co. (“Cede”) (DTC’s partnership nominee) or such other name as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. One fully-registered global security will be issued for each issue of Debt Securities, each in the aggregate principal amount of such issue, and will be deposited with DTC. If, however, the aggregate principal amount of any issue exceeds $500,000,000, one global security will be issued with respect to each $500,000,000 of principal amount and an additional global security will be issued with respect to any remaining principal amount of such issue.

     No person that acquires a beneficial interest in Debt Securities issued in book-entry form will be entitled to receive a certificate representing those Debt Securities, except as set forth in this prospectus or in the applicable prospectus supplement. Unless and until definitive securities are issued under the limited circumstances described below, all references to actions by holders or beneficial owners of Debt Securities issued in book-entry form will refer to actions taken by DTC upon instructions from its participants, and all references to payments and notices to holders or beneficial owners will refer to payments and notices to DTC or Cede, as the registered holder of those Debt Securities. The laws of some jurisdictions require some purchasers of securities to take physical delivery of their securities in definitive or paper form. These laws may impair the ability to transfer Debt Securities issued in book-entry form.

25

     Unless otherwise specified in the applicable prospectus supplement, book-entry securities will be exchangeable for definitive securities registered in the names of persons other than DTC or its nominee only if:

• DTC is at any time unwilling, unable or ineligible to continue as depositary and a successor depositary is not appointed by us within 90 days following notice to us;

• we determine, in our sole discretion, not to have any Debt Securities represented in book-entry form; or

• an Event of Default under the Indenture has occurred and is continuing.

Any book-entry security that is exchangeable in accordance with the preceding sentence will be exchangeable for Debt Securities registered in such names as DTC directs.

     If one of the events described in the immediately preceding paragraph occurs, DTC is generally required to notify all participants of the availability through DTC of definitive securities. Upon surrender by DTC of the book-entry security representing the Debt Securities and delivery of instructions for re-registration, the Trustee will reissue the Debt Securities as definitive securities. After reissuance of the Debt Securities, the Trustee will recognize the beneficial owners of those definitive securities as registered holders of Debt Securities.

     Except as described above:

• a book-entry security may not be transferred except as a whole book-entry security by or among DTC, a nominee of DTC and/or a successor depositary appointed by us; and

• DTC may not sell, assign or otherwise transfer any beneficial interest in a book-entry security unless the beneficial interest is in an amount equal to an authorized denomination for the securities evidenced by the book-entry security.

     The following is based on information furnished by DTC:

     DTC is a limited-purpose trust company organized under the New York Banking Law, a “banking organization” within the meaning of the New York Banking Law, a member of the Federal Reserve System, a “clearing corporation” within the meaning of the New York Uniform Commercial Code, and a “clearing agency” registered pursuant to the provisions of Section 17A of the Exchange Act. DTC holds securities that its participants deposit with it. DTC also facilitates the post-trade settlement among its participants of sales and other securities transactions in deposited securities, through electronic computerized book-entry transfers and pledges in its participants’ accounts. This eliminates the need for physical movement of securities certificates. Direct participants of DTC include both U.S. and non-U.S. securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, clearing corporations, and certain other organizations. DTC is a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation. The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation is the holding company for DTC, National Securities Clearing Corporation and Fixed Income Clearing Corporation, all of which are registered clearing agencies. The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation is owned by the users of its regulated subsidiaries. Access to DTC’s system is also available to others such as both U.S. and non-U.S. securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, and clearing corporations that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a direct participant, either directly or indirectly. DTC rules applicable to its participants are on file with the SEC.

     Purchases of book-entry securities under DTC’s system must be made by or through direct participants, which will receive a credit for those book-entry securities on DTC’s records. The beneficial ownership interest of each actual purchaser of each book-entry security represented by a global security (“beneficial owner”) is in turn to be recorded on the records of the direct and indirect participants’ records. Beneficial owners will not receive written confirmation from DTC of their purchase. Beneficial owners are, however, expected to receive written confirmations providing details of the transaction, as well as periodic statements of their holdings, from the direct or indirect participants through which the beneficial owner entered into the transaction. Transfers of ownership interests in a global security representing book-entry securities are to be accomplished by entries made on the books of direct and indirect participants acting on behalf of beneficial owners. Beneficial owners of a global security representing book-entry securities will not receive certificates representing their ownership interests in a global security, except in the event that use of the book-entry system for those book-entry securities is discontinued.

26

     To facilitate subsequent transfers, all global securities representing book-entry securities deposited by direct participants with DTC are registered in the name of DTC’s nominee, Cede, or such other name as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. The deposit of global securities with DTC and their registration in the name of Cede or such other nominee of DTC do not effect any change in beneficial ownership. DTC has no knowledge of the actual beneficial owners of the global securities representing the book-entry securities; DTC’s records reflect only the identity of the direct participants to whose accounts such book-entry securities are credited, which may or may not be the beneficial owners. The direct and indirect participants will remain responsible for keeping account of their holdings on behalf of their customers.

     Conveyance of notices and other communications by DTC to direct participants, by direct participants to indirect participants, and by direct participants and indirect participants to beneficial owners will be governed by arrangements among them, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time.

     If applicable, redemption notices will be sent to Cede. If less than all of the book-entry securities of like tenor and terms within an issue are being redeemed, DTC’s practice is to determine by lot the amount of the interest of each direct participant in that issue to be redeemed.

     Neither DTC nor Cede (nor any other nominee of DTC) will consent or vote with respect to the global securities representing book-entry securities unless authorized by a direct participant in accordance with DTC’s MMI procedures. Under its usual procedures, DTC mails an omnibus proxy to us as soon as possible after the applicable record date. The omnibus proxy assigns Cede’s consenting or voting rights to those direct participants to whose accounts book-entry securities are credited on the applicable record date (identified in a listing attached to the omnibus proxy).

     Redemption proceeds, distributions and dividend payments on the global securities representing the book-entry securities will be made to Cede, or such other nominee as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. DTC’s practice is to credit direct participants’ accounts, upon DTC’s receipt of funds and corresponding detailed information from us or the Trustee, on the payment date in accordance with their respective holdings shown on DTC’s records. Payments by participants to beneficial owners will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices, as is the case with securities held for the accounts of customers in bearer form or registered in “street name,” and will be the responsibility of such participant and not of DTC, the Trustee or us, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time. Payment of redemption proceeds, distributions and dividend payments to Cede (or such other nominee as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC) is the responsibility of us or the Trustee, disbursement of such payments to direct participants will be the responsibility of DTC, and disbursement of such payments to the beneficial owners will be the responsibility of direct and indirect participants.

     A beneficial owner will give notice of any option to elect to have its book-entry securities purchased or tendered, through its participant, to the Trustee, and will effect delivery of such book-entry securities by causing the direct participant to transfer the participant’s interest in the global security representing those book-entry securities, on DTC’s records, to the Trustee. The requirement for physical delivery of book-entry securities in connection with an optional tender or a mandatory purchase will be deemed satisfied when the ownership rights in the global security representing those book-entry securities are transferred by direct participants on DTC’s records and followed by a book-entry credit of tendered book-entry securities to the Trustee’s account with DTC.

     DTC may discontinue providing its services as depositary with respect to book-entry securities at any time by giving reasonable notice to us or the Trustee. Under those circumstances, in the event that a successor depositary is not obtained, certificates are required to be printed and delivered.

     We may decide to discontinue use of the system of book-entry-only transfers through DTC (or a successor securities depository). In that event, certificates will be printed and delivered to DTC.

     The information in this section concerning DTC and DTC’s book-entry system has been obtained from sources that we believe to be reliable, but we take no responsibility for the accuracy thereof.

     Unless stated otherwise in the prospectus supplement, the underwriters or agents with respect to a series of Debt Securities issued as book-entry securities will be participants in DTC.

27

     None of any underwriter or agent, the Trustee, any applicable Paying Agent or us will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial interests in a book-entry security, or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial interests.

The Trustee

     We maintain ordinary banking relationships with The Bank of New York Mellon, including credit facilities and lines of credit. The Bank of New York Mellon also serves as trustee under other indentures under which we or our affiliates are the obligor.

     The Trustee may resign or be removed with respect to one or more series of Debt Securities and a successor Trustee may be appointed to act with respect to such series. (Section 608) In the event that two or more persons are acting as Trustee with respect to different series of Debt Securities under the Indenture, each such Trustee shall be a Trustee of a trust thereunder separate and apart from the trust administered by any other such Trustee (Section 609), and any action described herein to be taken by the Trustee may then be taken by each such Trustee with respect to, and only with respect to, the one or more series of Debt Securities for which it is Trustee.

Governing Law

     The Indenture and the Debt Securities shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York without regard to principles of conflicts of laws.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

We may sell the Debt Securities:

• to or through underwriters, dealers, or agents; or

• directly to one or more other purchasers.

     The prospectus supplement will set forth the terms of the offering of the particular series or issue of Debt Securities to which such prospectus supplement relates, including, as applicable:

• the name or names of any underwriters or agents;

• the initial public offering or purchase price of such Debt Securities;

• any underwriting discounts, commissions and other items constituting underwriters’ compensation from us and any other discounts, concessions or commissions allowed or reallowed or paid by any underwriters to other dealers;

• any commissions paid to any agents;

• the net proceeds to us; and

• the securities exchanges, if any, on which such Debt Securities will be listed.

     If underwriters are used in the sale, a particular series or issue of Debt Securities will be acquired by the underwriters for their own account and may be resold from time to time in one or more transactions, including negotiated transactions, at a fixed public offering price or at varying prices determined at the time of sale. The Debt Securities of a particular series or issue may be either offered to the public through underwriting syndicates represented by managing underwriters or by underwriters without a syndicate. The obligations of the underwriters to purchase such Debt Securities will be subject to certain conditions precedent and each of the underwriters with respect to such Debt Securities will be obligated to purchase all of the Debt Securities of such series or issue allocated to it if any such Debt Securities are purchased. Any initial public offering price and any discounts or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to dealers may be changed from time to time.

     The Debt Securities may be offered and sold by us directly or through agents designated by us from time to time. Any agent involved in the offer or sale of the Debt Securities in respect of which this prospectus is

28

delivered will be named in, and any commissions payable by us to such agent will be set forth in, the applicable prospectus supplement. Unless otherwise indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, each such agent will be acting on a best efforts basis for the period of its appointment.

     The Debt Securities, when first issued, will have no established trading market. Any underwriters, dealers or agents to or through whom we sell Debt Securities for public offering and sale may make a market in those Debt Securities, but the underwriters, dealers or agents will not be obligated to do so and may discontinue any market making at any time without notice. No assurance can be given as to the liquidity of the trading market for the Debt Securities.

     If underwriters are used in the sale, to facilitate the offering of a particular series or issue of Debt Securities, the underwriters may engage in transactions that stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the price of such Debt Securities. Specifically, the underwriters may over-allot in connection with the offering, creating a short position in such Debt Securities for their own accounts. In addition, to cover over-allotments or to stabilize the price of such Debt Securities, the underwriters may bid for, and purchase, such Debt Securities in the open market. Finally, in any offering of a particular series or issue of Debt Securities through a syndicate of underwriters, the underwriting syndicate may reclaim selling concessions allowed to an underwriter or a dealer for distributing such Debt Securities in the offering, if the syndicate repurchases previously distributed Debt Securities in transactions to cover syndicate short positions, in stabilization transactions or otherwise. Any of these activities may stabilize or maintain the market price of such Debt Securities above independent market levels. The underwriters are not required to engage in these activities, and may end any of these activities at any time.

     Certain of the underwriters, dealers or agents and their affiliates who participate in the distribution of Debt Securities may be customers of, engage in other transactions with, lend money to and perform other services for, us and our affiliates in the ordinary course of business.

     We will set forth in the relevant prospectus supplement the anticipated delivery date of the Debt Securities and the prospectus delivery obligations of any underwriters, dealers or agents.

     Any underwriters, dealers or agents participating in the distribution of the Debt Securities may be deemed to be underwriters, and any discounts or commissions received by them on the sale or resale of Debt Securities may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions, under the Securities Act. Underwriters, dealers and agents may be entitled, under agreements entered into with us, to indemnification by us against certain civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

     We will estimate our expenses associated with any offering of a particular series or issue of Debt Securities in the relevant prospectus supplement.

LEGAL OPINIONS

     The validity of the Debt Securities will be passed upon for us by M. Courtney McCormick, Esquire, Deputy General Counsel of PSEG, or Tamara L. Linde, Esquire, our Executive Vice President and General Counsel and Director, and for any underwriters, dealers or agents by Sidley Austin LLP, New York, New York. Mses. McCormick and Linde may rely on the opinion of Sidley Austin LLP as to matters of New York law. Mses. McCormick and Linde own shares of common stock of PSEG. Sidley Austin LLP has from time to time represented, and continues to represent, PSEG Power LLC and its affiliates in connection with certain unrelated legal matters.

EXPERTS

     The consolidated financial statements and the related consolidated financial statement schedule, incorporated in this prospectus by reference from our Annual Report on Form 10-K, have been audited by Deloitte & Touche LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report, which is incorporated herein by reference. Such consolidated financial statements and consolidated financial statement schedule have been so incorporated in reliance upon the report of such firm given upon their authority as experts in accounting and auditing.

Item 15.Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

     Section 18 of the limited liability company agreement of each of PSEG Power LLC, PSEG Fossil LLC, PSEG Nuclear LLC and PSEG Energy Resources & Trade LLC (each, a “Company”) provides, as follows:

• No Member, Officer, Director, employee or agent of a Company and no employee, representative, agent or Affiliate of the member of such Company (collectively, the “Covered Persons”) shall be liable to such Company or any other Person who has an interest in or claim against such Company for any loss, damage or claim incurred by reason of any act or omission performed or omitted by such Covered Person in good faith on behalf of such Company and in a manner reasonably believed to be within the scope of the authority conferred on such Covered Person by such Company’s limited liability company agreement, except that a Covered Person shall be liable for any such loss, damage or claim incurred by reason of such Covered Person’s willful misconduct.

     Section 18 also provides as follows:

• To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, a Covered Person shall be entitled to indemnification from such Company for any loss, damage or claim incurred by such Covered Person by reason of any act or omission performed or omitted by such Covered Person in good faith on behalf of such Company and in a manner reasonably believed to be within the scope of the authority conferred on such Covered Person by such Company’s limited liability company agreement, except that no Covered Person shall be entitled to be indemnified in respect of any loss, damage or claim incurred by such Covered Person by reason of such Covered Person’s willful misconduct with respect to such acts or omissions; provided, however, that any indemnity under this Section 18 shall be provided out of and to the extent of such Company’s assets only, and no member shall have personal liability on account thereof.

     The form of Underwriting Agreement filed herewith contains a provision under which each underwriter agrees to indemnify the directors and officers of a registrant who signed the registration statement against certain liabilities which might arise under the Securities Act from information furnished to it in writing by or on behalf of such underwriter.

     The directors and officers of the registrants are insured under policies of insurance, within the limits and subject to the limitations of the policies, against claims made against them for acts in the discharge of their duties, and each registrant is insured to the extent that it is required or permitted by law to indemnify the directors and officers for such loss. The premiums for such insurance are paid by the respective registrants.

Item 17.Undertakings.

(a) Each undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

(i) To include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933:

(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement;

(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;

Provided, however, that:

Paragraphs (a)(1)(i), (a)(1)(ii) and (a)(1)(iii) above do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission by such registrant pursuant to section 13 or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of the registration statement.

(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

II-2

(4) That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser:

(i) Each prospectus filed by such registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and

(ii) Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii), or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by section 10(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date.

(5) That, for the purpose of determining liability of such registrant under the Securities Act of 1933 to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities such undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of such undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

(i) Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of such undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;

(ii) Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of such undersigned registrant or used or referred to by such undersigned registrant;

(iii) The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about such undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of such undersigned registrant; and

(iv) Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by such undersigned registrant to the purchaser.

(b) Such undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of such registrant’s annual report pursuant to section 13(a) or section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of such registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, such registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by such registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of such registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, such registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
