The conditional density gives
using either integration by parts or the expected value of an exponential distribution. Hence
This is a finite value for almost every realization of , but not an integrable random variable: . Since , its conditional expectation remains well-defined in the nonnegative, extended-expectation sense; the tower property of conditional expectation then gives .
