Each Opinion of Counsel referred to in clause (i) or (ii) above shall specify any action necessary (as of the date of such opinion) to be taken in the following year to perfect or maintain, as applicable, such interest or Lien.

SECTION 3.02 Servicing and Maintenance Standards. On behalf of the Issuer, the Servicer shall manage, service, administer and make collections in respect of the Transition Property with reasonable care and in material compliance with applicable Requirements of Law, including all applicable PUCT Regulations and guidelines, using the same degree of care and diligence that the Servicer exercises with respect to similar assets for its own account and, if applicable, for others; follow customary standards, policies and procedures for the industry in Texas in performing its duties as Servicer; use all reasonable efforts, consistent with its customary servicing procedures, to enforce, and maintain rights in respect of, the Transition Property and to ▇▇▇▇ and collect the System Restoration Charges; comply with all Requirements of Law, including all applicable PUCT Regulations and guidelines, applicable to and binding on it relating to the Transition Property; file all PUCT notices described in the Financing Act and file and maintain the effectiveness of UCC financing statements with respect to the property transferred from time to time under the Sale Agreement, and (f) take such other action on behalf of the Issuer to ensure that the Lien of the Indenture Trustee on the Transition Bond Collateral remains perfected and of first priority. The Servicer shall follow such customary and usual practices and procedures as it shall deem necessary or advisable in its servicing of all or any portion of the Transition Property, which, in the Servicer’s judgment, may include the taking of legal action, at the Issuer’s expense but subject to the priority of payments set forth in Section 8.02(e) of the Indenture.

SECTION 3.03 Annual Reports on Compliance with Regulation AB.

(a)The Servicer shall deliver to the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Rating Agencies, on or before the earlier of (a) March 31 of each year, beginning March 31, 202 , or (b) with respect to each calendar year during which the Depositor’s annual report on Form 10-K is required to be filed in accordance with the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, the date on which the annual report on Form 10-K is required to be filed in accordance with the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, a certificate from a Responsible Officer of the Servicer (i) containing, and certifying as to, the statements of compliance required by Item 1123 (or any successor or similar items or rule) of Regulation AB, as then in effect and (ii) containing, and certifying as to, the statements and assessment of compliance required by Item 1122(a) (or any successor or similar items or rule) of Regulation AB, as then in effect. These certificates may be in the form of, or shall include the form attached hereto as Exhibit C hereto, with such changes as may be required to conform to the applicable securities law.

(b)The Servicer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain from each other party, if any, participating in the servicing function any additional certifications as to the statements and assessment required under Item 1122 or Item 1123 of Regulation AB to the extent required in connection with the filing of the annual report on Form 10-K; provided, however, that a failure to obtain such certifications shall not be a breach of the Servicer’s duties hereunder. The parties acknowledge that the Indenture Trustee’s certifications shall be limited to the Item 1122 certifications described in Exhibit C of the Indenture.

(c)The initial Servicer, in its capacity as Depositor, shall post on its own website or on one maintained by an Affiliate and file with or furnish to the SEC, in periodic

reports and other reports as are required from time to time under Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act , the information described in Section 3.07(g) of the Indenture to the extent such information is reasonably available to the Depositor. Except to the extent permitted by applicable law, the initial Servicer, in its capacity as Depositor, shall not voluntarily suspend or terminate its filing obligations as Depositor with the SEC as described in this Section 3.03(c). The covenants of the initial Servicer, in its capacity as Depositor, pursuant to this Section 3.03(c) shall survive the resignation, removal or termination of the initial Servicer as Servicer hereunder.

SECTION 3.04 Annual Report by Independent Registered Public Accountants.

(a)The Servicer, at its own expense in partial consideration of the Servicing Fee paid to it, shall cause a firm of Independent registered public accountants (which may provide other services to the Servicer or the Seller) to prepare annually, and the Servicer shall deliver annually to the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Rating Agencies on or before the earlier of (a) March 31 of each year, beginning March 31, 2023, or (b) with respect to each calendar year during which the Depositor’s annual report on Form 10-K is required to be filed in accordance with the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, the date on which the annual report on Form 10-K is required to be filed in accordance with the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, a report (the “Annual Accountant’s Report”) regarding the Servicer’s assessment of compliance with the servicing criteria set forth in Item 1122(d) of Regulation AB during the immediately preceding twelve (12) months ended December 31 (or, in the case of the first Annual Accountant’s Report to be delivered on or before March 31, 2023, the period of time from the date of this Agreement until December 31, 2022), in accordance with paragraph (b) of Rule 13a-18 and Rule 15d-18 of the Exchange Act and Item 1122 of Regulation AB. Such report shall be signed by an authorized officer of the Servicer and shall at a minimum address each of the servicing criteria specified in Exhibit C.

(b)The Annual Accountant’s Report shall also indicate that the accounting firm providing such report is independent of the Servicer in accordance with the Rules of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, and shall include any attestation report required under Item 1122(b) of Regulation AB (or any successor or similar items or rule), as then in effect.

SECTION 3.05 Monitoring of Third-Party Collectors. If a Third-Party Collector does ▇▇▇▇ or collect System Restoration Charges on behalf of the Issuer, then, from time to time, until the Retirement of the System Restoration Bonds, the Servicer shall, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, take all actions with respect to such Third-Party Collectors required to be taken by the Servicer as set forth, if applicable, in any agreement with the Servicer, the Financing Order, Tariffs, other tariffs and any other PUCT Regulations in effect from time to time and implement such additional procedures and policies as are necessary to ensure that the obligations of all Third-Party Collectors in connection with System Restoration Charges are properly enforced in accordance with, if applicable, the terms of any agreement with the Servicer, the Financing Order, Tariffs, other tariffs and any other PUCT Regulations in effect from time to time. Such procedures and policies shall include the following:

(a)Maintenance of Records and Information. In addition to any actions required by the Tariffs, PUCT Regulations or other applicable law, the Servicer shall:

(i)maintain adequate records for promptly identifying and contacting each Third-Party Collector;

(ii)maintain records of end-user Customers which are billed by Third-Party Collectors to permit prompt transfer of billing responsibilities in the event of default by such Third-Party Collectors;

(iii)maintain adequate records for enforcing compliance by all Third-Party Collectors with their obligations with respect to System Restoration Charges, including compliance with all Remittance Requirements, REP Credit Requirements and REP Deposit Requirements; and

(iv)provide to each Third-Party Collector such information necessary for such Third-Party Collector to confirm the Servicer’s calculation of System Restoration Charges and remittances, including, if applicable, charge-off amounts.

The Servicer shall update the records described above no less frequently than quarterly.

(b)Credit and Collection Policies. The Servicer shall, to the fullest extent permitted under the Financing Order, impose such terms with respect to credit and collection policies applicable to Third-Party Collectors as may be reasonably necessary to prevent the then-current rating of the System Restoration Bonds from being downgraded, withdrawn or suspended. The Servicer shall, in accordance with and to the extent permitted by the Utilities Code, applicable PUCT Regulations and the terms of the Financing Order, include and impose the above-described terms in all tariffs filed under the Utilities Code which would allow REPs or other utilities to issue single bills which include System Restoration Charges to ETI’s Customers. The Servicer shall periodically review the need for modified or additional terms based upon, among other things, the relative amount of SRC Payments received through REPs relative to the Periodic Billing Requirement, the historical payment and default experience of each REP and such other credit and collection policies to which the REPs are subject, and if permitted by applicable law, will set out any such modified or additional terms in a supplemental tariff filed with the PUCT.

(c)Monitoring of Performance and Payment by REPs. In addition to any actions required by the Tariffs, PUCT Regulations or other applicable law, the Servicer shall undertake to do the following:

(i)The Servicer shall require each REP to pay all System Restoration Charges (less any applicable charge-off allowances) billed to such REP in accordance with the provisions of the Initial Tariff, and PUCT Regulations (whether or not disputed). The Servicer shall monitor compliance by each REP with all Remittance Requirements, REP Credit Requirements and REP Deposit Requirements and take prompt action to enforce such requirements.

(ii)Where a REP is responsible for billing the Customers, the Servicer shall, consistent with its customary billing practices, ▇▇▇▇ each Applicable REP no less frequently than the billing cycle otherwise applicable to such Customers.

(iii)The Servicer shall work with REPs to resolve any disputes using the dispute resolution procedures established in the Initial Tariff and any PUCT Regulations, in accordance with the Servicing Standard.

(d)Enforcement of REP Obligations. The Servicer shall, in accordance with the terms of the Initial Tariff, ensure that each REP remits all SRC Payments which it is obligated to remit to the Servicer. In the event of any default by any REP, the Servicer shall enforce all rights set forth in and take all other steps permitted by, if applicable, the Financing Order, Tariffs, other tariffs and any other PUCT Regulations as it determines, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, are reasonably necessary to ensure the prompt payment of SRC Payments by such REP and to preserve the rights of the Holders with respect thereto, including, where appropriate, terminating the right of any REP to ▇▇▇▇ and collect System Restoration Charges or petitioning the PUCT to impose such other remedies or penalties as may be available

under the circumstances. Any agreement entered into between the Servicer and a defaulted REP will be limited to the terms of this Agreement and will satisfy the Rating Agency Condition. In the event the Servicer has actual knowledge that a REP is in default, including due to the downgrade by the Rating Agencies of any party providing credit support for such REP, the Servicer shall promptly notify a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee in writing of the same and, shall, if applicable, instruct the Indenture Trustee either to:

(i)withdraw from such REP’s REP Deposit Account and deposit into the Collection Account the lesser of (x) the amount of cash on deposit in such REP Deposit Account and allocable to the Transition Property at such time and (y) the amount of any System Restoration Charges then due and payable by such REP; or

(ii)make demand under any letter of credit, guarantee or other credit support up to the lesser of (x) the amount of such letter of credit, guarantee or other credit support and (y) the amount of any System Restoration Charges then due and payable by such REP, and forward the amounts received, if any, as a result of such demand to the Collection Account.

The Indenture Trustee shall, within two (2) Business Days of receipt of such written notice, withdraw such funds from the REP Deposit Account or make demand under such credit support, as applicable, and deposit such funds withdrawn or received, as applicable, into the Collection Account.

(e)Maintenance of REP Deposit Accounts. If any REPs collect System Restoration Charges within the Service Area, then the Servicer shall cause the entity acting as Indenture Trustee to maintain one or more REP Deposit Accounts as described in Section 8.02(g) of the Indenture. The Servicer shall provide written direction to the Indenture Trustee regarding the allocation and release of funds on deposit in the REP Deposit Accounts, as permitted or required by the Indenture, this Agreement, the Financing Order or any Tariff or PUCT Regulations. The Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely on any such written directions from the Servicer. The Servicer will seek and use reasonable best efforts to obtain, from any REP which wishes to satisfy its credit support requirements by making a deposit to a REP Deposit Account, a written security agreement stating that (i) by making such deposit the REP has granted a security interest in such deposit in favor of the Indenture Trustee, and (ii) the Indenture Trustee, in holding such deposit as collateral, will have the rights and remedies of a secured party under Article 9 of the UCC with respect to such collateral, and the Servicer will promptly forward any such agreement to the Indenture Trustee.

(f)Affiliated Third-Party Collectors. In performing its obligations under this Section 3.05, the Servicer shall deal with any Third-Party Collectors which are Affiliates of the Servicer on terms which are no more favorable in the aggregate to such affiliated Third-Party Collector than those used by the Servicer in its dealings with any Third-Party Collectors that are not affiliates of the Servicer.

ARTICLE IV
SERVICES RELATED TO TRUE-UP ADJUSTMENTS

SECTION 4.01 True-Up Adjustments. From time to time, until the Retirement of the System Restoration Bonds, the Servicer shall identify the need for Annual True-Up Adjustments, Non-Standard True-Up Adjustments and Interim True-Up Adjustments and shall take all reasonable action to obtain and implement such True-Up Adjustments, all in accordance with the following:

(a)Expected Amortization Schedule. The Expected Amortization Schedule for the System Restoration Bonds is attached hereto as Schedule 4.01(a). If the Expected Amortization Schedule is revised, the Servicer shall send a copy of such revised Expected Amortization Schedule to the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Rating Agencies promptly thereafter.

(b)True-Up Adjustments.

(i)Annual True-Up Adjustments and Filings. Each year no later than fifteen (15) days prior to the first billing cycle of April the Servicer shall: (A) update the data and assumptions underlying the calculation of the System Restoration Charges, including projected electricity usage during the next Calculation Period for each SRC Customer Class and including interest and estimated expenses and fees of the Issuer to be paid during such period, the Days Sales Outstanding and write-offs; (B) determine the Periodic Payment Requirement and Periodic Billing Requirement for the next Calculation Period based on such updated data and assumptions; (C) determine the System Restoration Charges to be allocated to each SRC Customer Class during the next Calculation Period based on such Periodic Billing Requirement and the terms of the Financing Order and the Tariffs filed pursuant thereto and in doing so the Servicer shall use the Periodic Billing Requirement Allocation Factors approved in the Tariff to allocate the System Restoration Charges, including, as applicable, the result of the implementation of the most recent Non-Standard True-Up Adjustment; (D) make all required notice and other filings with the PUCT to reflect the revised System Restoration Charges, including any Amendatory Tariffs; and (E) take all reasonable actions and make all reasonable efforts to effect such Annual True-Up Adjustment and to enforce the provisions of the Financing Act and the Financing Order; provided, however, that if the Servicer determines that the forecasted billing units for one or more of the SRC Customer Classes for an upcoming period decreases by more than 10% compared to the billing units for the threshold period set forth in the Financing Order, the Servicer shall implement a Non-Standard True-Up Adjustment and, if such Non-Standard True-Up Adjustment shall be made in the time period provided for Annual True-Up Adjustments pursuant to this Section 4.01(b)(i), such Non-Standard True-Up Adjustment shall also qualify as an Annual True-Up Adjustment for purposes of this Agreement. The Servicer shall implement the revised System Restoration Charges, if any, resulting from such Annual True-Up Adjustment as of the Annual True-Up Adjustment Date.

(ii)Non-Standard True-Up Adjustments and Filings. In the event that the Servicer determines that a Non-Standard True-Up Adjustment is required, the Servicer shall, no later than ninety (90) days prior to the first billing cycle of November (A) recalculate the System Restoration Charges to reallocate such System Restoration Charges among SRC Customer Classes in accordance with the procedures for Non-Standard True-Up Adjustments set forth in the Financing Order and the Tariffs filed pursuant thereto; (B) make all required notice and other filings with the PUCT to reflect the revised System Restoration Charges, including any Amendatory Tariffs; and (C) take all reasonable actions and make all reasonable efforts to effect such Non-Standard True-Up Adjustment and to enforce the provisions of the Financing Act and the Financing Order. The Servicer shall implement the revised System Restoration Charges, if any, resulting from such Non-Standard True-Up Adjustment on the Non-Standard True-Up Adjustment Date. For the avoidance of doubt, no Annual True-Up Adjustment or Interim True-Up Adjustment shall be considered a Non-Standard True-Up

Adjustment solely because System Restoration Charges are allocated under such Annual True-Up Adjustment or Interim True-Up Adjustment in the same manner as in a preceding Non-Standard True-Up Adjustment.

(iii)Interim True-Up Adjustments and Filings. Within the 30-day period ending prior to the first billing cycle in October of each year and, within the 30-day period preceding the first billing cycle in December 2035, and in each March, June, September and December thereafter, the Servicer shall compare the anticipated Unrecovered Balance, as of the next Payment Date and after giving effect to payments to be made on such Payment Date, to the Projected Unrecovered Balance as of such Payment Date. The Servicer shall, no later than fifteen (15) days prior to the end of such thirty (30) day period, make a mandatory Interim True-Up Adjustment if the Servicer forecasts that SRC Collections will be insufficient (a) to make all scheduled payments of interest, principal and other amounts in respect of any Tranche of System Restoration Bonds during the current and next succeeding semi-annual period or quarterly period, as applicable, and (b) to replenish the applicable Capital Subaccount to the Required Capital Level. If the Servicer determines that an Interim True-Up Adjustment is required under the immediately preceding sentence, then the Servicer shall: update the data and assumptions underlying the calculation of the System Restoration Charges, including projected electricity usage during the next Calculation Period for each SRC Customer Class and including interest and estimated expenses and fees of the Issuer to be paid during such period, the rate of delinquencies and write-offs; determine the Periodic Payment Requirement and Periodic Billing Requirement for the next Calculation Period based on such updated data and assumptions; determine the System Restoration Charges to be allocated to each SRC Customer Class during the next Calculation Period based on such Periodic Billing Requirement and the terms of the Financing Order and the Tariffs filed pursuant thereto, and in doing so the Servicer shall use the method of allocating System Restoration Charges then in effect, including as applicable, the result of the implementation of the most recent Non-Standard True-Up Adjustment as approved in the Tariff; make all required notice and other filings with the PUCT to reflect the revised System Restoration Charges, including any Amendatory Tariffs; and take all reasonable actions and make all reasonable efforts to effect such Interim True-Up Adjustment and to enforce the provisions of the Securitization Law and the Financing Order which relate thereto. The Servicer shall implement the revised System Restoration Charges, if any, resulting from such Interim True-Up Adjustment on the Interim True-Up Adjustment Date. The Servicer may not implement Interim True-Up Adjustments more frequently than every six (6) months; provided that the Servicer may implement Interim True-Up Adjustments quarterly for any System Restoration Bonds remaining Outstanding commencing in Scheduled Final Maturity on last Tranche.

(c)Reports.

(i)Notification of Amendatory Tariff Filings and True-Up Adjustments. Whenever the Servicer files an Amendatory Tariff with the PUCT or implements revised System Restoration Charges with notice to the PUCT without filing an Amendatory Tariff if permitted by the Financing Order, the Servicer shall send a copy of such filing or notice (together with a copy of all notices and documents which, in the Servicer’s reasonable judgment, are material to the adjustments effected by such Amendatory Tariff or notice) to the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Rating Agencies concurrently therewith. If, for any reason any revised System Restoration Charges are not implemented and effective

on the applicable date set forth herein, the Servicer shall notify the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and each Rating Agency by the end of the second Servicer Business Day after such applicable date.

(ii)Semi-Annual Servicer’s Certificate. Not later than five (5) Servicer Business Days prior to each Payment Date or Special Payment Date, the Servicer shall deliver a written report for the System Restoration Bonds, substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto (the “Semi-Annual Servicer’s Certificate”) to the Issuer, the PUCT, the Indenture Trustee and the Rating Agencies which shall include all of the following information (to the extent applicable and including any other information so specified in the Series Supplement) as to the System Restoration Bonds with respect to such Payment Date or Special Payment Date or the period since the previous Payment Date, as applicable:

(a) the amount of the payment to Holders allocable to principal, if any;

(b) the amount of the payment to Holders allocable to interest;

(c) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of such System Restoration Bonds, before and after giving effect to any payments allocated to principal reported under clause (a) above;

(d) the difference, if any, between the amount specified in clause (c) above and the Outstanding Amount specified in the Expected Amortization Schedule;

(e) any other transfers and payments to be made on such Payment Date or Special Payment Date, including amounts paid to the Indenture Trustee and to the Servicer; and

(f) the amounts on deposit in the Capital Subaccount and the Excess Funds Subaccount, after giving effect to the foregoing payments.

(iii)Reports to Customers.

(A)After each revised Transition Charge has gone into effect pursuant to a True-Up Adjustment, the Servicer shall, to the extent and in the manner and time frame required by applicable PUCT Regulations, if any, cause to be prepared and delivered to Customers any required notices announcing such revised System Restoration Charges.

(B)The Servicer shall comply with the requirements of the Financing Order and Tariff with respect to the identification of System Restoration Charges on Bills. In addition, at least once each year, the Servicer shall (to the extent that it does not separately identify the System Restoration Charges as being owned by the Issuer in the Bills regularly sent to Customers or any REPs, when and if ETI’s Service Area becomes subject to retail competition) cause to be prepared and delivered to such Customers and REPs a notice stating, in effect, that the Transition Property and the System Restoration Charges are owned by the Issuer and not the Seller. Unless prohibited by applicable PUCT Regulations, the Servicer shall use reasonable efforts to cause each Applicable REP, at least once each year, to include similar notices in the bills sent by such Applicable REP to Customers indicating additionally that the System Restoration Charges are not

owned by such Applicable REP (to the extent that such Applicable REP does not include such information in the Bills regularly sent to Customers). Such notice shall be included either as an insert to or in the text of the Bills delivered to such Customers or shall be delivered to Customers by electronic means or such other means as the Servicer or the Applicable REP may from time to time use to communicate with its respective Customers.

(C)Except to the extent that applicable PUCT Regulations make any future Applicable REP responsible for such costs, or the Applicable REP has otherwise agreed to pay such costs, the Servicer shall pay from its own funds all costs of preparation and delivery incurred in connection with clauses (A) and (B) above, including printing and postage costs as the same may increase or decrease from time to time.

(iv)REP Reports. When and if the Service Area becomes subject to retail competition and if any REPs collect the System Restoration Charges within the Service Area, then the Servicer shall provide to the Rating Agencies, upon request, any publicly available reports filed by the Servicer with the PUCT (or otherwise made publicly available by the Servicer) relating to REPs and any other non-confidential and non-proprietary information relating to REPs reasonably requested by the Rating Agencies to the extent such information is reasonably available to the Servicer.

SECTION 4.02 Limitation of Liability. The Issuer and the Servicer expressly agree and acknowledge that:

(i)In connection with any True-Up Adjustment, the Servicer is acting solely in its capacity as the servicing agent hereunder.

(ii)Neither the Servicer nor the Issuer nor the Indenture Trustee is responsible in any manner for, and shall have no liability whatsoever as a result of, any action, decision, ruling or other determination made or not made, or any delay (other than any delay resulting from the Servicer’s failure to make any filings required by Section 4.01 in a timely and correct manner or any breach by the Servicer of its duties under this Agreement that adversely affects the Transition Property or the True-Up Adjustments), by the PUCT in any way related to the Transition Property or in connection with any True-Up Adjustment, the subject of any filings under Section 4.01, any proposed True-Up Adjustment, or the approval of any revised System Restoration Charges and the scheduled adjustments thereto.

(iii)Except to the extent that the Servicer is liable under Section 6.02, the Servicer shall have no liability whatsoever relating to the calculation of any revised System Restoration Charges and the scheduled adjustments thereto, including as a result of any inaccuracy of any of the assumptions made in such calculation regarding expected energy usage and the Days Sales Outstanding, write-offs and estimated expenses and fees of the Issuer, so long as the Servicer has acted in good faith and has not acted in a negligent manner in connection therewith, nor shall the Servicer have any liability whatsoever as a result of any Person, including the Holders, not receiving any payment, amount or return anticipated or expected or in respect of any Transition Bond generally.

(b)Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 4.02 shall not relieve the Servicer of liability for any misrepresentation by the Servicer under Section 6.01 or for any breach by the Servicer of its other obligations under this Agreement.

ARTICLE V
THE TRANSITION PROPERTY

SECTION 5.01 Custody of Transition Property Records. To assure uniform quality in servicing the Transition Property and to reduce administrative costs, the Issuer hereby revocably appoints the Servicer, and the Servicer hereby accepts such appointment, to act as the agent of the Issuer as custodian of any and all documents and records that the Seller shall keep on file, in accordance with its customary procedures, relating to the Transition Property, including copies of the Financing Order, Issuance Advice Letters, Tariffs and Amendatory Tariffs relating thereto and all documents filed with the PUCT in connection with any True-Up Adjustment and computational records relating thereto (collectively, the “Transition Property Records”), which are hereby constructively delivered to the Indenture Trustee, as pledgee of the Issuer with respect to all Transition Property.

SECTION 5.02 Duties of Servicer as Custodian.

(a)Safekeeping. The Servicer shall hold the Transition Property Records on behalf of the Issuer and maintain such accurate and complete accounts, records and computer systems pertaining to the Transition Property Records as shall enable the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee, as applicable, to comply with this Agreement, the Sale Agreement and the Indenture. In performing its duties as custodian, the Servicer shall act with reasonable care, using that degree of care and diligence that the Servicer exercises with respect to comparable assets that the Servicer services for itself or, if applicable, for others. The Servicer shall promptly report to the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Rating Agencies any failure on its part to hold the Transition Property Records and maintain its accounts, records and computer systems as herein provided and promptly take appropriate action to remedy any such failure. Nothing herein shall be deemed to require an initial review or any periodic review by the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee of the Transition Property Records. The Servicer’s duties to hold the Transition Property Records set forth in this Section 5.02, to the extent such Transition Property Records have not been previously transferred to a successor Servicer pursuant to Article VII, shall terminate one year and one day after the earlier of the date on which (i) the Servicer is succeeded by a successor Servicer in accordance with Article VII and (ii) no System Restoration Bonds are Outstanding.

(b)Maintenance of and Access to Records. The Servicer shall maintain the Transition Property Records at the address set forth in Section 8.04(a), or at such other office as shall be specified to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee by written notice at least thirty (30) days prior to any change in location. The Servicer shall make available for inspection, audit and copying to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee or their respective duly authorized representatives, attorneys or auditors the Transition Property Records at such times during normal business hours as the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee shall reasonably request and which do not unreasonably interfere with the Servicer’s normal operations. Nothing in this Section 5.02(b) shall affect the obligation of the Servicer to observe any applicable law (including any PUCT Regulation) prohibiting disclosure of information regarding the Customers, and the failure of the Servicer to provide access to such information as a result of such obligation shall not constitute a breach of this Section 5.02(b).

(c)Release of Documents. Upon instruction from the Indenture Trustee in accordance with the Indenture, the Servicer shall release any Transition Property Records to the Indenture Trustee, the Indenture Trustee’s agent or the Indenture Trustee’s designee, as the case

may be, at such place or places as the Indenture Trustee may designate, as soon as practicable. Nothing in this Section 5.02(c) shall affect the obligation of the Servicer to observe any applicable law (including any PUCT Regulation) prohibiting disclosure of information regarding the Customers, and the failure of the Servicer to provide access to such information as a result of such obligation shall not constitute a breach of this Section 5.02(c).

(d)Defending Transition Property Against Claims. The Servicer shall institute any action or proceeding necessary to compel performance by any REP (at the earliest possible time) of any of their respective obligations or duties under the Financing Act and the Financing Order with respect to the Transition Property, and the Servicer agrees to take such legal or administrative actions, including without limitation defending against or instituting and pursuing legal actions and appearing or testifying at hearings or similar proceedings, as may be reasonably necessary to block or overturn any attempts to cause a repeal of, modification of or supplement to the Financing Act or the Financing Order. The costs of any action described in this Section 5.02(d) shall be payable from SRC Collections as an Operating Expense (and shall not be deemed to constitute a portion of the Servicing Fee) in accordance with the Indenture. The Servicer’s obligations pursuant to this Section 5.02(d) shall survive and continue notwithstanding that payment of such Operating Expense may be delayed pursuant to the terms of the Indenture (it being understood that the Servicer may be required initially to advance its own funds to satisfy its obligations hereunder).

(e)Additional Litigation to Defend Transition Property. In addition to the above, the Servicer shall, at its own expense, institute any action or proceeding necessary to compel performance by the PUCT or the State of Texas of any of their respective obligations or duties under the Financing Act or the Financing Order with respect to the Transition Property, and to compel performance by any future REPs with any of their respective obligations or duties under any Tariffs or any agreement with the Servicer entered into pursuant to such Tariffs. In any proceedings related to the exercise of the power of eminent domain by any municipality to acquire a portion of ETI’s electric distribution facilities, the Servicer shall assert that the court ordering such condemnation must treat such municipality as a successor to ETI under the Financing Act and the Financing Order.

SECTION 5.03 Custodian’s Indemnification. The Servicer as custodian shall indemnify the Issuer, the Independent Managers and the Indenture Trustee (for itself and for the benefit of the Holders) and each of their respective officers, directors, employees and agents for, and defend and hold harmless each such Person from and against, any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, payments and claims, and reasonable costs or expenses, of any kind whatsoever (collectively, “Losses”) that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against each such Person as the result of any negligent act or omission in any way relating to the maintenance and custody by the Servicer, as custodian, of the Transition Property Records; provided, however, that the Servicer shall not be liable for any portion of any such amount resulting from the willful misconduct, bad faith or negligence of the Issuer, the Independent Managers or the Indenture Trustee, as the case may be.

Indemnification under this Section 5.03 shall survive resignation or removal of the Indenture Trustee or any Independent Manager and shall include reasonable out-of-pocket fees and expenses of investigation and litigation (including reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses).

SECTION 5.04 Effective Period and Termination. The Servicer’s appointment as custodian shall become effective as of the Closing Date and shall continue in full force and effect until terminated pursuant to this Section 5.04. If the Servicer shall resign as Servicer in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or if all of the rights and obligations of the Servicer shall have been terminated under Section 7.01, the appointment of the

Servicer as custodian shall be terminated effective as of the date on which the termination or resignation of the Servicer is effective. Additionally, if not sooner terminated as provided above, the Servicer’s obligations as Custodian shall terminate one year and one day after the date on which no System Restoration Bonds are Outstanding.

(g)Approvals.

SECTION 6.02 Indemnities of Servicer; Release of Claims. The Servicer shall be liable in accordance herewith only to the extent of the obligations specifically undertaken by the Servicer under this Agreement.

(b)The Servicer shall indemnify the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee (for itself and for the benefit of the Holders), and the Independent Managers and each of their respective trustees, officers, directors, employees and agents (each, an “Indemnified Person”) for, and defend and hold harmless each such Person from and against, any and all Losses imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any such Person as a result of (i) the Servicer’s willful misconduct, bad faith or negligence in the performance of its duties or observance of its covenants under this Agreement or its reckless disregard of its obligations and duties under this Agreement, (ii) the Servicer’s breach of any of its representations and warranties contained in this Agreement, (iii) any litigation or related expenses relating to the Servicer’s status or obligations as Servicer (other than any proceeding the Servicer is required to institute under the Servicing Agreement) or (iv) any finding that interest payable to any future REP with respect to disputed funds must be paid by the Issuer or from the Transition Property, except to the extent of Losses either resulting from the willful misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence of such Person seeking indemnification hereunder or resulting from a breach of a representation or warranty made by such Person seeking indemnification hereunder in any of the Basic Documents that gives rise to the Servicer’s breach.

(c)For purposes of Section 6.02(b), in the event of the termination of the rights and obligations of ETI (or any successor thereto pursuant to Section 6.03) as Servicer

pursuant to Section 7.01, or a resignation by such Servicer pursuant to this Agreement, such Servicer shall be deemed to be the Servicer pending appointment of a successor Servicer pursuant to Section 7.02.

(d)Indemnification under this Section 6.02 shall survive any repeal of, modification of, or supplement to, or judicial invalidation of, the Financing Act or the Financing Order and shall survive the resignation or removal of the Indenture Trustee or any Independent Manager or the termination of this Agreement and shall include reasonable out-of-pocket fees and expenses of investigation and litigation (including reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses).

(e)Except to the extent expressly provided in this Agreement or the other Basic Documents (including the Servicer’s claims with respect to the Servicing Fee, reimbursement for any Excess Remittance, reimbursement for costs incurred pursuant to Section 5.02(d) and the payment of the purchase price of Transition Property), the Servicer hereby releases and discharges the Issuer, the Independent Managers, and the Indenture Trustee and each of their respective officers, directors and agents (collectively, the “Released Parties”) from any and all actions, claims and demands whatsoever, whenever arising, which the Servicer, in its capacity as Servicer or otherwise, shall or may have against any such Person relating to the Transition Property or the Servicer’s activities with respect thereto other than any actions, claims and demands arising out of the willful misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence of the Released Parties.

(f)Promptly after receipt by an Indemnified Person of notice (or, in the case of the Indenture Trustee, receipt of notice by a Responsible Officer only) of the commencement of any action, proceeding or investigation, such Indemnified Person (other than the Indenture Trustee) shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the Servicer under this Section 6.02, notify the Servicer in writing of the commencement thereof. Failure by an Indemnified Person to so notify the Servicer shall relieve the Servicer from the obligation to indemnify and hold harmless such Indemnified Person under this Section 6.02 only to the extent that the Servicer suffers actual prejudice as a result of such failure. With respect to any action, proceeding or investigation brought by a third party for which indemnification may be sought under this Section 6.02, the Servicer shall be entitled to conduct and control, at its expense and with counsel of its choosing that is reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Person, the defense of any such action, proceeding or investigation (in which case the Servicer shall not thereafter be responsible for the fees and expenses of any separate counsel retained by the Indemnified Person except as set forth below); provided that the Indemnified Person shall have the right to participate in such action, proceeding or investigation through counsel chosen by it and at its own expense. Notwithstanding the Servicer’s election to assume the defense of any action, proceeding or investigation, the Indemnified Person shall have the right to employ separate counsel (including local counsel), and the Servicer shall bear the reasonable fees, costs and expenses of such separate counsel if (i) the defendants in any such action include both the Indemnified Person and the Servicer and the Indemnified Person shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it that are different from or additional to those available to the Servicer, (ii) the Servicer shall not have employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person to represent the Indemnified Person within a reasonable time after notice of the institution of such action, (iii) the Servicer shall authorize the Indemnified Person to employ separate counsel at the expense of the Servicer or (iv) in the case of the Indenture Trustee, such action exposes the Indenture Trustee to a material risk of criminal liability or forfeiture or a Servicer Default has occurred and is continuing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer shall not be obligated to pay for the fees, costs and expenses of more than one separate counsel for the Indemnified Persons other than one local counsel, if appropriate.

(g)The Servicer shall indemnify the PUCT (for the benefit of Customers) for, and defend and hold harmless against, any and all Losses that may be imposed upon, incurred by

or asserted against the PUCT, including any increase in the Servicing Fee that becomes payable pursuant to Section 6.06, as a result of a Servicer Default resulting from the Servicer’s willful misconduct, bad faith or negligence in performance of its duties or observance of its covenants under this Agreement. The indemnification obligation set forth in this paragraph may be enforced by the PUCT but is not enforceable by any REP or any Customer. Any indemnity payments made to the PUCT under this paragraph for the benefit of Customers shall be remitted to the Indenture Trustee promptly for deposit into the applicable Collection Account.

SECTION 6.03 Binding Effect of Servicing Obligations. Any Person (a) into which the Servicer may be merged, converted or consolidated, (b) that may result from any reorganization, merger (including, but not limited to, merger as defined in Art. 1.02.A.(18) of the Texas Business Corporation Act or in Section 1.002(55) of the Texas Business Organizations Code, as applicable to the Servicer, as amended from time to time (including, without limitation, any merger commonly referred to as a “merger by division”)), conversion or consolidation to which the Servicer shall be a party, or (c) that may acquire or succeed to (whether by merger, division, conversion, consolidation, reorganization, sale, transfer, lease, management contract or otherwise) (1) the properties and assets of the Servicer substantially as a whole, (2) all or substantially all of the electric transmission and distribution business of the Servicer which is required to provide electric service to the Servicer’s customers in the Service Area (or, if transmission and distribution are not provided by a single entity, the distribution business of the Servicer required to provide electric service to the Servicer’s Customers in the Service Area), or (3) the distribution system business assets of the Servicer in a portion of the Service Area, and which Person in any of the foregoing cases executes an agreement of assumption to perform all of the obligations of the Servicer hereunder shall be a successor to the Servicer under this Agreement (a “Permitted Successor”) without further act on the part of any of the parties to this Agreement; provided, however, that

(i)immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no representation, warranty or covenant made pursuant to Section 6.01 shall have been breached and no Servicer Default, and no event which, after notice or lapse of time, or both, would become a Servicer Default shall have occurred and be continuing,

(ii)the Servicer shall have delivered to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel from external counsel stating that such consolidation, conversion, merger, division, reorganization, sale, transfer, lease, management contract transaction, acquisition or other succession and such agreement of assumption complies with this Section 6.03 and that all conditions precedent, if any, provided for in this Agreement relating to such transaction have been complied with,

(iii)the Servicer shall have delivered to the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Rating Agencies an Opinion of Counsel from external counsel of the Servicer either (A) stating that, in the opinion of such counsel, all filings to be made by the Servicer, including filings with the PUCT pursuant to the Financing Act and the UCC, have been executed and filed and are in full force and effect that are necessary to fully preserve, perfect and maintain the priority of the interests of the Issuer and the Liens of the Indenture Trustee in the Transition Property and reciting the details of such filings or (B) stating that, in the opinion of such counsel, no such action shall be necessary to maintain such interests,

(iv)the Servicer shall have delivered to the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the Rating Agencies and the PUCT an Opinion of Counsel from independent tax counsel stating that, for federal income tax purposes, such

consolidation, conversion, merger, division or succession and such agreement of assumption will not result in a material federal income tax consequence to the Issuer or the Holders of System Restoration Bonds, and

(v)the Servicer shall have given the Rating Agencies prior written notice of such transaction.

When the conditions set forth in this Section 6.03 have been satisfied, the preceding Servicer shall automatically and without further notice (except as provided in clause (v) above) be released from all of its obligations hereunder.

When any Person (or more than one Person) acquires the properties and assets of the Servicer substantially as a whole or otherwise becomes the successor, whether by merger, conversion, consolidation, sale, transfer, lease, management contract or otherwise, to all or substantially all of the electric transmission and distribution business of the Servicer (or, if transmission and distribution are not provided by a single entity, provides distribution service directly to Customers taking service at facilities, premises or loads located in the Service Area in accordance with the terms of this Section 6.03), then upon satisfaction of all of the other conditions of this Section 6.03, the preceding Servicer shall automatically and without further notice be released from all of its obligations hereunder.

SECTION 6.04 Limitation on Liability of Servicer and Others. Except as otherwise provided under this Agreement, neither the Servicer nor any of the directors, officers, employees or agents of the Servicer shall be liable to the Issuer or any other Person for any action taken or for refraining from the taking of any action pursuant to this Agreement or for good faith errors in judgment; provided, however, that this provision shall not protect the Servicer or any such person against any liability that would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful misconduct, bad faith or negligence in the performance of duties or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations and duties under this Agreement. The Servicer and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Servicer may rely in good faith on the advice of counsel or on any document of any kind, prima facie properly executed and submitted by any Person, respecting any matters arising under this Agreement.

Except as provided in this Agreement, including but not limited to Sections 5.02(d) and (e), the Servicer shall not be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action relating to the Transition Property that is not directly related to one of the Servicer’s enumerated duties in this Agreement or related to its obligation to pay indemnification, and that in its reasonable opinion may cause it to incur any expense or liability; provided, however, that the Servicer may, in respect of any Proceeding, undertake any action that it is not specifically identified in this Agreement as a duty of the Servicer but that the Servicer reasonably determines is necessary or desirable in order to protect the rights and duties of the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee under this Agreement and the interests of the Holders and Customers under this Agreement. The Servicer’s costs and expenses incurred in connection with any such proceeding shall be payable from SRC Collections as an Operating Expense (and shall not be deemed to constitute a portion of the Servicing Fee) in accordance with the Indenture. The Servicer’s obligations pursuant to this Section 6.04 shall survive and continue notwithstanding that payment of such Operating Expense may be delayed pursuant to the terms of the Indenture (it being understood that the Servicer may be required initially to advance its own funds to satisfy its obligations hereunder).

SECTION 6.05 ETI Not to Resign as Servicer. Subject to the provisions of Section 6.03, ETI shall not resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on it as Servicer under this Agreement unless ETI delivers to the Indenture Trustee and the PUCT an opinion of external counsel to the effect that ETI’s performance of its duties under

this Agreement shall no longer be permissible under applicable law. No such resignation shall become effective until a successor Servicer shall have assumed the responsibilities and obligations of ETI in accordance with Section 7.02.

SECTION 6.06 Servicing Compensation. In consideration for its services hereunder, until the Retirement of the System Restoration Bonds, the Servicer shall receive an annual fee (the “Servicing Fee”) in an amount equal to (i) 0.10% of the initial principal balance of the System Restoration Bonds for so long as ETI or an Affiliate of ETI is the Servicer or (ii) if ETI or any of its Affiliates is not the Servicer, an amount agreed upon by the Successor Servicer and the Indenture Trustee in accordance with written instructions of Holders evidencing not less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the System Restoration Bonds, provided that such amount shall not exceed 0.60% of the initial principal balance of the System Restoration Bonds unless (A) the Rating Agency Condition is satisfied and (B) the amount is approved by the PUCT. The Servicing Fee owing shall be calculated based on the initial principal balance of the System Restoration Bonds and shall be paid semi-annually with half of the Servicing Fee being paid on each Payment Date (provided that, if the first Payment Date is more than six months after the date of issuance of the System Restoration Bonds, the Servicer will be entitled to a pro rata increase in the fee payable in the first period). The Servicer also shall be entitled to retain as additional compensation (i) any interest earnings on SRC Payments received by the Servicer and invested by the Servicer during each Collection Period prior to remittance to the Collection Account and (ii) all late payment charges, if any, collected from Customers or REPs; provided, however, that if the Servicer has failed to remit the Daily Remittance to the General Subaccount of the Collection Account on the Servicer Business Day that such payment is to be made pursuant to Section 6.11 on more than three (3) occasions during the period that the System Restoration Bonds are outstanding, then thereafter the Servicer will be required to pay to the Indenture Trustee interest on each Daily Remittance accrued at the Federal Funds Rate from the Servicer Business Day on which such Daily Remittance was required to be made to the date that such Daily Remittance is actually made.

(b)The Servicing Fee set forth in Section 6.06(a) shall be paid to the Servicer by the Indenture Trustee, on each Payment Date in accordance with the priorities set forth in Section 8.02(e) of the Indenture, by wire transfer of immediately available funds from the Collection Account to an account designated by the Servicer. Any portion of the Servicing Fee not paid on any such date should be added to the Servicing Fee payable on the subsequent Payment Date. In no event shall the Indenture Trustee be liable for the payment of any Servicing Fee or other amounts specified in this Section 6.06; provided that this Section 6.06 does not relieve the Indenture Trustee of any duties it has to allocate funds for payment for such fees under Section 8.02 of the Indenture.

(c)Except as expressly provided elsewhere in this Agreement, the Servicer shall be required to pay from its own account expenses incurred by the Servicer in connection with its activities hereunder (including any fees to and disbursements by accountants, counsel, or any other Person, any taxes imposed on the Servicer and any expenses incurred in connection with reports to Holders) out of the compensation retained by or paid to it pursuant to this Section 6.06, and shall not be entitled to any extra payment or reimbursement therefor.

(d)The foregoing Servicing Fees constitute a fair and reasonable price for the obligations to be performed by the Servicer. Such Servicing Fee shall be determined without regard to the income of the Issuer, shall not be deemed to constitute distributions to the recipient of any profit, loss or capital of the Issuer and shall be considered a fixed Operating Expense of the Issuer subject to the limitations on such expenses set forth in the Financing Order.

SECTION 6.07 Compliance with Applicable Law. The Servicer covenants and agrees, in servicing the Transition Property, to comply in all material respects

with all laws applicable to, and binding upon, the Servicer and relating to such Transition Property the noncompliance with which would have a material adverse effect on the value of the Transition Property; provided, however, that the foregoing is not intended to, and shall not, impose any liability on the Servicer for noncompliance with any Requirement of Law that the Servicer is contesting in good faith in accordance with its customary standards and procedures.

SECTION 6.08 Access to Certain Records and Information Regarding Transition Property. The Servicer shall provide to the Indenture Trustee access to the Transition Property Records as is reasonably required for the Indenture Trustee to perform its duties and obligations under the Indenture and the other Basic Documents, and shall provide access to such records to the Holders as required by applicable law. Access shall be afforded without charge, but only upon reasonable request and during normal business hours at the respective offices of the Servicer. Nothing in this Section 6.08 shall affect the obligation of the Servicer to observe any applicable law (including any PUCT Regulation) prohibiting disclosure of information regarding the Customers, and the failure of the Servicer to provide access to such information as a result of such obligation shall not constitute a breach of this Section 6.08.

SECTION 6.09 Appointments. The Servicer may at any time appoint any Person to perform all or any portion of its obligations as Servicer hereunder; provided, however, that, unless such Person is an Affiliate of ETI, the Rating Agency Condition shall have been satisfied in connection therewith; provided further that the Servicer shall remain obligated and be liable under this Agreement for the servicing and administering of the Transition Property in accordance with the provisions hereof without diminution of such obligation and liability by virtue of the appointment of such Person and to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions as if the Servicer alone were servicing and administering the Transition Property. The fees and expenses of any such Person shall be as agreed between the Servicer and such Person from time to time and none of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the Holders or any other Person shall have any responsibility therefor or right or claim thereto. Any such appointment shall not constitute a Servicer resignation under Section 6.05.

SECTION 6.10 No Servicer Advances. The Servicer shall not make any advances of interest or principal on the System Restoration Bonds.

SECTION 6.11 Remittances. On each Servicer Business Day, commencing on or about 52 days after the Closing Date, the Servicer shall remit to the General Subaccount of the Collection Account the total SRC Payments estimated to have been received by the Servicer from or on behalf of Customers on such Servicer Business Day in respect of all previously billed System Restoration Charges (the “Daily Remittance”), which Daily Remittance shall be calculated according to the procedures set forth in Annex I and shall be remitted as soon as reasonably practicable but in any event no later than the second Servicer Business Day after such payments are estimated to have been received. Prior to (or concurrent with) each remittance to the General Subaccount of the Collection Account pursuant to this Section 6.11, the Servicer shall provide written notice to the Indenture Trustee of each such remittance (including the exact dollar amount to be remitted). The Servicer shall also, promptly upon receipt, remit to the Collection Account any other proceeds of the Transition Bond Collateral which it may receive from time to time.

(b)The Servicer agrees and acknowledges that it holds all SRC Payments collected by it and any other proceeds for the Transition Bond Collateral received by it for the benefit of the Indenture Trustee and the Holders and that all such amounts will be remitted by the Servicer in accordance with this Section 6.11 without any surcharge, fee, offset, charge or other deduction except (i) as set forth in clause (c) below and (ii) for late fees permitted by Section 6.06. The Servicer further agrees not to make any claim to reduce its obligation to remit

all SRC Payments collected by it in accordance with this Agreement except (i) as set forth in clause (c) below and (ii) for late fees permitted by Section 6.06.

(c)On or before June 30 of each year (or, if such day is not a Servicer Business Day, the immediately preceding Servicer Business Day) commencing with June 30, 2022, the Servicer shall calculate the amount of any Remittance Shortfall or Excess Remittance for the Reconciliation Period, as provided in Section 6(e) of Annex I. The Servicer shall allocate such Remittance Shortfall or Excess Remittance as follows: (A) if a Remittance Shortfall exists, the Servicer shall make a supplemental remittance, to the General Subaccount of the Collection Account within two (2) Servicer Business Days, or (B) if an Excess Remittance exists, the Servicer shall be entitled either (i) to reduce the amount of each Daily Remittance which the Servicer subsequently remits to the General Subaccount of the Collection Account for application to the amount of such Excess Remittance until the balance of such Excess Remittance has been reduced to zero, the amount of such reduction becoming the property of the Servicer or (ii) so long as such withdrawal would not cause the amounts on deposit in the General Subaccount or the Excess Funds Subaccount to be insufficient for the payment of the next installment of interest on the System Restoration Bonds or principal due at maturity on the next Payment Date or upon acceleration on or before the next Payment Date, to be paid immediately from such General Subaccount or Excess Funds Subaccount, the amount of such Excess Remittance, such payment becoming the property of the Servicer. If there is a Remittance Shortfall, the amount which the Servicer remits to the General Subaccount of the Collection Account on the relevant date set forth above shall be increased by the amount of such Remittance Shortfall, such increase coming from the Servicer’s own funds. The Servicer may calculate the Excess Remittance or Remittance Shortfall more often than annually in its discretion if the Servicer believes such reconciliations are appropriate. The results of any such reconciliation shall be reported in the next issued Monthly Servicer’s Certificate.

(d)Unless otherwise directed to do so by the Issuer, the Servicer shall be responsible for selecting Eligible Investments in which the funds in the Collection Account shall be invested pursuant to Section 8.03 of the Indenture.

SECTION 6.12 Maintenance of Operations. Subject to Section 6.03, ETI agrees to continue, unless prevented by circumstances beyond its control, to operate its electric transmission and distribution system to provide service (or, if transmission and distribution are split, to provide distribution service directly to its Customers) so long as it is acting as the Servicer under this Agreement.

ARTICLE VII
DEFAULT

SECTION 7.01 Servicer Default. If any one or more of the following events (a “Servicer Default”) shall occur and be continuing:

(a)any failure by the Servicer to remit to the Collection Account on behalf of the Issuer any required remittance that shall continue unremedied for a period of five (5) Business Days after written notice of such failure is received by the Servicer from the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee or after discovery of such failure by an officer of the Servicer; or

(b)any failure on the part of the Servicer or, so long as the Servicer is ETI or an affiliate thereof, any failure on the part of ETI, as the case may be, duly to observe or to perform in any material respect any covenants or agreements of the Servicer or ETI, as the case may be, set forth in this Agreement (other than as provided in clause (a) of this Section 7.01) or any other Basic Document to which it is a party, which failure shall (i) materially and adversely affect the rights of the Holders and (ii) continue unremedied for a period of sixty (60) days after

the date on which (A) written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to the Servicer or ETI, as the case may be, by the Issuer (with a copy to the Indenture Trustee) or to the Servicer or ETI, as the case may be, by the Indenture Trustee or (B) such failure is discovered by an officer of the Servicer; or

(c)any failure by the Servicer duly to perform its obligations under Section 4.01(b) of this Agreement in the time and manner set forth therein, which failure continues unremedied for a period of five (5) days; or

(d)any representation or warranty made by the Servicer in this Agreement or any Basic Document shall prove to have been incorrect in a material respect when made, which has a material adverse effect on the Holders and which material adverse effect continues unremedied for a period of sixty (60) days after the date on which (A) written notice thereof, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been delivered to the Servicer (with a copy to the Indenture Trustee) by the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee or (B) such failure is discovered by an officer of the Servicer; or

(e)an Insolvency Event occurs with respect to the Servicer or ETI;

then, and in each and every case, so long as the Servicer Default shall not have been remedied, either the Indenture Trustee shall upon the instruction of the PUCT (acting on behalf of Customers) or of Holders evidencing not less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the System Restoration Bonds, by notice then given in writing to the Servicer (and to the Indenture Trustee if given by the Holders) (a “Termination Notice”), terminate all the rights and obligations (other than the obligations set forth in Section 6.02 and the obligation under Section 7.02 to continue performing its functions as Servicer until a successor Servicer is appointed) of the Servicer under this Agreement. In addition, upon a Servicer Default described in Section 7.01(a), the Holders and the Indenture Trustee as financing parties under the Financing Act (or any of their representatives) shall be entitled to (i) apply to the district court of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ County, Texas for sequestration and payment of revenues arising with respect to the Transition Property, (ii) foreclose on or otherwise enforce the lien and security interests in the Transition Property and (iii) apply to the PUCT for an order that amounts arising from the System Restoration Charges be transferred to a separate account for the benefit of the Secured Parties, in accordance with the Financing Act. On or after the receipt by the Servicer of a Termination Notice, all authority and power of the Servicer under this Agreement, whether with respect to the System Restoration Bonds, the Transition Property, the System Restoration Charges or otherwise, shall, without further action, pass to and be vested in such successor Servicer as may be appointed under Section 7.02; and, without limitation, the Indenture Trustee is hereby authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of the predecessor Servicer, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, any and all documents and other instruments, and to do or accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such Termination Notice, whether to complete the transfer of the Transition Property Records and related documents, or otherwise. The predecessor Servicer shall cooperate with the successor Servicer, the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee in effecting the termination of the responsibilities and rights of the predecessor Servicer under this Agreement, including the transfer to the successor Servicer for administration by it of all Transition Property Records and all cash amounts that shall at the time be held by the predecessor Servicer for remittance, or shall thereafter be received by it with respect to the Transition Property or the System Restoration Charges. As soon as practicable after receipt by the Servicer of such Termination Notice, the Servicer shall deliver the Transition Property Records to the successor Servicer. In case a successor Servicer is appointed as a result of a Servicer Default, all reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses) incurred in connection with transferring the Transition Property Records to the successor Servicer and amending this Agreement to reflect such succession as Servicer pursuant to this Section 7.01 shall be paid by

the predecessor Servicer upon presentation of reasonable documentation of such costs and expenses. Termination of ETI as Servicer shall not terminate ETI’s rights or obligations under the Sale Agreement (except rights thereunder deriving from its rights as the Servicer hereunder).

SECTION 7.02 Appointment of Successor.

(a)Upon the Servicer’s receipt of a Termination Notice pursuant to Section 7.01 or the Servicer’s resignation or removal in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the predecessor Servicer shall continue to perform its functions as Servicer under this Agreement, and shall be entitled to receive the requisite portion of the Servicing Fee, until a successor Servicer shall have assumed in writing the obligations of the Servicer hereunder as described below. In the event of the Servicer’s removal or resignation hereunder, the Indenture Trustee shall, at the written direction and with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the System Restoration Bonds, appoint a successor Servicer with the Issuer’s prior written consent thereto (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), and the successor Servicer shall accept its appointment by a written assumption in form reasonably acceptable to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee and provide prompt written notice of such assumption to the Issuer and the Rating Agencies. If within thirty (30) days after the delivery of the Termination Notice, a new Servicer shall not have been appointed, the Indenture Trustee may petition the PUCT or a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint a successor Servicer under this Agreement. A Person shall qualify as a successor Servicer only if (i) such Person is permitted under PUCT Regulations to perform the duties of the Servicer, (ii) the Rating Agency Condition shall have been satisfied and (iii) such Person enters into a servicing agreement with the Issuer having substantially the same provisions as this Agreement (as the Servicer of the System Restoration Bonds). In no event shall the Indenture Trustee be liable for its appointment of a successor Servicer. The Indenture Trustee’s expenses incurred under this Section 7.02(a) shall be at the sole expense of the Issuer and payable from the Collection Account as provided in Section 8.02 of the Indenture.

(b)Upon appointment, the successor Servicer shall be the successor in all respects to the predecessor Servicer and shall be subject to all the responsibilities, duties and liabilities arising thereafter relating thereto placed on the predecessor Servicer and shall be entitled to the Servicing Fee and all the rights granted to the predecessor Servicer by the terms and provisions of this Agreement.

SECTION 7.03 Waiver of Past Defaults. The PUCT, together with Holders evidencing not less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the System Restoration Bonds may, on behalf of all Holders, direct the Indenture Trustee to waive in writing any default by the Servicer in the performance of its obligations hereunder and its consequences, except a default in making any required deposits to the Collection Account in accordance with this Agreement. Upon any such waiver of a past default, such default shall cease to exist, and any Servicer Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been remedied for every purpose of this Agreement. No such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereto. Promptly after the execution of any such waiver, the Servicer shall furnish copies of such waiver to each of the Rating Agencies.

SECTION 7.04 Notice of Servicer Default. The Servicer shall deliver to the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the PUCT and the Rating Agencies, promptly after having obtained knowledge thereof, but in no event later than five (5) Business Days thereafter, written notice of any event which with the giving of notice or lapse of time, or both, would become a Servicer Default under Section 7.01.

SECTION 7.05 Cooperation with Successor. The Servicer covenants and agrees with the Issuer that it will, on an ongoing basis, cooperate with the successor Servicer

and provide whatever information is, and take whatever actions are, reasonably necessary to assist the successor Servicer in performing its obligations hereunder.

(b)The PUCT or its staff shall, within thirty (30) days of receiving the notification complying with Section 8.02(a), either:

(i)provide notice of its determination that the proposed amendment or modification will not under any circumstances have the effect of increasing the ongoing Qualified Costs related to the System Restoration Bonds,

(ii)provide notice of its consent or lack of consent to the person specified in Section 8.02(a)(iii), or

(iii)be conclusively deemed to have consented to the proposed amendment or modification,

unless, within thirty (30) days of receiving the notification complying with Section 8.02(a), the PUCT or its staff delivers to the office of the person specified in Section 8.02(a)(iii) a written statement requesting an additional amount of time not to exceed thirty (30) days in which to

consider whether to consent to the proposed amendment or modification. If the PUCT or its staff requests an extension of time in the manner set forth in the preceding sentence, then the PUCT shall either provide notice of its consent or lack of consent or notice of its determination that the proposed amendment or modification will not under any circumstances increase ongoing Qualified Costs to the person specified in Section 8.02(a)(iii) no later than the last day of such extension of time or be conclusively deemed to have consented to the proposed amendment or modification on the last day of such extension of time. Any amendment or modification requiring the consent of the PUCT shall become effective on the later of (i) the date proposed by the parties to such amendment or modification and (ii) the first day after the expiration of the thirty (30)-day period provided for in this Section 8.02(b), or, if such period has been extended pursuant hereto, the first day after the expiration of such period as so extended.

(c)Following the delivery of a notice to the PUCT by the Servicer under Section 8.02(a), the Servicer and the Issuer shall have the right at any time to withdraw from the PUCT further consideration of any notification of a proposed amendment.

Nothing in this Section 8.03(b) shall affect the obligation of the Servicer to observe any applicable law (including any PUCT Regulation) prohibiting disclosure of information regarding the Customers, and the failure of the Servicer to provide access to such information as a result of such obligation shall not constitute a breach of this Section 8.03(b).

ANNEX I

terms apply shall be less than 5,000 as of the end of the preceding calendar year. In the event that the Servicer makes any material modification to these practices, it shall notify the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, and the Rating Agencies prior to the effectiveness of any such modification; provided, however, that the Servicer may not make any modification that will materially adversely affect the Holders.

If a REP is responsible for billing the Customers, the Servicer shall deliver all Bills to the Applicable REP by such means as are prescribed by applicable PUCT Regulations, or if not prescribed by applicable PUCT Regulations, by such means as are mutually agreed upon by the Servicer and the Applicable REP and are consistent with PUCT Regulations. The Servicer or any and each REP, as applicable, shall pay from its own funds all costs of issuance and delivery of all Bills, including but not limited to printing and postage costs as the same may increase or decrease from time to time.

ANNEX I

customer deposits, (2) to all electric service charges of ETI on the ▇▇▇▇ and to all System Restoration Charges on the ▇▇▇▇, pro rata based upon the total amount billed, and (3) to tax and remaining charges billed to the Customers.

If there is more than one owner of transition property, or if the sole or any owner of transition property (or pledge or pledgee) has issued multiple series of bonds, such partial collections representing system restoration charges shall be allocated among such owners (or pledgee or pledgees), and among such series of system restoration bonds, pro-rata based upon the amounts billed with respect to each series of system restoration bonds, provided that late fees and charges may be allocated to the Servicer as provided in the Tariff. It is understood that such allocations may be made on a delayed basis in accordance with the reconciliations described in Section 6 of this Annex.

(iii)When and if the Service Area becomes subject to retail competition, the Servicer shall apply payments received to each Customer’s or any and each Applicable REP’s account in proportion to the charges contained on the outstanding ▇▇▇▇ to such Customer or Applicable REP. Any amounts collected by the Servicer that represent partial payments of the total ▇▇▇▇ to a Customer or any REP shall be allocated as follows: (A) first to amounts owed to the Issuer, ETI and any other affiliate of ETI which is owed “System Restoration Charges” as defined in Sections 39.302(7) whether as supplemented by 36.403(f) of the Financing Act or another section of the Utilities Code (excluding any late fees and interest charges), regardless of age, pro rata in proportion to their respective percentages of the total amount of their combined outstanding charges on such ▇▇▇▇; then (B) all late charges shall be allocated to the Servicer; provided that penalty payments owed on late payments of System Restoration Charges shall be allocated to the Issuer in accordance with the terms of the Tariffs. It is understood that such allocations may be made on a delayed basis in accordance with the reconciliations described in Section 6(e) of this Annex I.

(iv)The Servicer shall hold all over-payments for the benefit of the Issuer and ETI and shall apply such funds to future ▇▇▇▇ charges in accordance with clauses (ii) and (iii) (as applicable) as such charges become due.

(v)For Customers on a Budget Billing Plan, the Servicer shall treat SRC Payments received from such Customers as if such Customers had been billed for their respective System Restoration Charges in the absence of the Budget Billing Plan; partial payment of a Budget Billing Plan payment shall be allocated according to clause (ii) or (iii) (as applicable) and overpayment of a Budget Billing Plan payment shall be allocated according to clause (iv).

(c)Accounts; Records.

The Servicer shall maintain accounts and records as to the Transition Property accurately and in accordance with its standard accounting procedures and in sufficient detail (i) to permit reconciliation between payments or recoveries with respect to the Transition Property and the amounts from time to time remitted to the Collection Account in respect of the Transition Property and (ii) to permit the SRC Collections held by the Servicer to be accounted

ANNEX I

for separately from the funds with which they may be commingled, so that the dollar amounts of SRC Collections commingled with the Servicer’s funds may be properly identified and traced.

(d)Investment of SRC Payments Received.

Prior to each Daily Remittance, the Servicer may invest SRC Payments received at its own risk and (except as required by applicable PUCT Regulations) for its own benefit. So long as the Servicer complies with its obligations under Section 6(c) of this Annex I, neither such investments nor such funds shall be required to be segregated from the other investment and funds of the Servicer.

(e)Calculation of Daily Remittance.

(i)For purposes of calculating the Daily Remittance, (i) all Billed SRCs shall be estimated to be collected the same number of days after billing as is equal to the Days Sales Outstanding then in effect (or on the next Servicer Business Day) and (ii) the Servicer will, on each Servicer Business Day, remit to the Indenture Trustee for deposit in the Collection Account an amount equal to the product of the applicable Billed SRCs multiplied by one hundred percent less the system wide write-off percentage (or if available in the ordinary course of business, gross write-off percentage for each revenue class) used by the Servicer to calculate the most recent Periodic Billing Requirement. Such product shall constitute the amount of Estimated SRC Collections for such Servicer Business Day. Pursuant to Section 6.11(c) of the Agreement, commencing no later than June 30 of each year, the Servicer shall calculate and report in the next succeeding Monthly Servicer’s Certificate the amount of Actual SRC Collections for all completed Collection Periods during the Reconciliation Period as compared to the Estimated SRC Collections forwarded to the Collection Account in respect of such Reconciliation Period. No Excess Remittance shall be withdrawn from the Collection Account if such withdrawal would cause the amounts on deposit in the General Subaccount or the Excess Funds Subaccount to be insufficient for the payment of the next installment of interest or principal due at maturity on the next Payment Date or upon acceleration on or before the next Payment Date on the System Restoration Bonds. The Servicer shall be allowed to use the proceeds from any Excess Remittance to reimburse any Applicable REPs for the excess of their remittances over actual SRC Payments received by such REPs in accordance with the terms of PUCT Regulations.

(ii)On or before the beginning of the first billing cycle in November of each year in accordance with Section 4.01(b) of the Agreement, the Servicer shall, in a timely manner so as to perform all required calculations under such Section 4.01(b), update the Days Sales Outstanding and the system-wide write-off percentage (or if available in the ordinary course of business, gross write-off percentage for each revenue class) in order to be able to calculate the Periodic Billing Requirement for the next True-Up Adjustment and to calculate any change in the Daily Remittances for the next Calculation Period.

(iii)The Servicer and the Issuer acknowledge that, as contemplated in Section 8.01(b) of the Agreement, the Servicer may make certain changes to its current computerized customer information system, which changes, when functional, would affect the Servicer’s method of calculating the SRC Payments estimated to have been received by the Servicer during each Collection Period as set forth in this Annex I. Should these changes to the computerized customer information system become functional during the term of the Agreement, the Servicer and the Issuer agree that they shall review the procedures used to calculate the SRC Payments estimated to have been received in light of the capabilities of such new system and shall amend this Annex I in writing to make such modifications and/or substitutions to such procedures as may be appropriate in the interests of efficiency, accuracy, cost and/or system capabilities; provided, however, that the Servicer may not make any modification or substitution that will materially adversely affect the Holders as evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate of the

ANNEX I

Issuer. As soon as practicable, and in no event later than sixty (60) Business Days after the date on which all Customer accounts are being billed under such new system, the Servicer shall notify the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Rating Agencies of the same.

(iv)All calculations of collections, each update of the Days Sales Outstanding, the system-wide write-off percentage (or if available in the ordinary course of business, gross write-off percentage for each revenue class) and any changes in procedures used to calculate the Estimated SRC Payments pursuant to this Section 6(e) shall be made in good faith, and in the case of any update pursuant to clause (ii) above or any change in procedures pursuant to clause (iii) above, in a manner reasonably intended to provide estimates and calculations that are at least as accurate as those that would be provided on the Closing Date utilizing the initial procedures.

(f)Remittances.

(i)The Issuer shall cause to be established the Collection Account in the name of the Indenture Trustee in accordance with the Indenture.

(ii)The Servicer shall make remittances to the Collection Account in accordance with Section 6.11 of the Agreement.

(iii)In the event of any change of account or change of institution affecting the Collection Account, the Issuer shall provide written notice thereof to the Servicer and the Rating Agencies not later than five (5) Business Days from the effective date of such change.
