delivered pursuant toSection 1.09(a) or (b) in which the Receiving Party objects to one or more such amounts.

(a) the failure of any representation or warranty of Oncor contained in this Agreement to be true and correct in all respects (without giving effect to any “material”, “materially”, “materiality”, “material adverse effect” or similar qualification contained in any such representation or warranty) on and as of the date of this Agreement and on and as of the Closing Date as if made on such date (other than those made on a specified date which shall be true and correct in all respects as of such specified date); or

(b) a breach of any covenant or agreement of Oncor contained in this Agreement.

Section 8.04.Indemnification Procedures.

(a)Procedures Relating to Third Party Claims. If any party or other Person entitled to indemnification under thisArticle VIII (an “Indemnified Party”) receives written notice of the commencement of any Legal Proceeding or the assertion of any Claim by a third party or the imposition of any penalty or assessment by a Governmental Entity or other Person for which indemnity may be sought underSection 8.01,Section 8.02 orSection 8.03 (a “Third Party Claim”), the Indemnified Party shall promptly provide the party who is obligated to indemnify it (the “Indemnifying Party”) with written notice of such Third Party Claim, stating in reasonable detail the nature, basis and the amount thereof, to the extent known, which notice shall be accompanied by copies of the relevant notices and documents (including court papers) received by the Indemnified Party that evidence or relate to such Third Party Claim;provided,however, that the failure of the Indemnified Party to give prompt notice to the Indemnifying Party shall not affect the right of the Indemnified Party to be indemnified in respect of such Third Party Claim or related Losses, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is actually and materially prejudiced as a result of the failure to give prompt notice. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to assume the defense of any Third Party Claim at its sole expense with counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party by written notice of assumption delivered to the Indemnified Party within 20 days following the receipt of the written notice of the Third Party Claim referred to above;provided, however, that if, (i) such Third Party Claim relates to or arises in connection with any criminal proceeding, action, indictment, allegation or investigation; (ii) such Third Party Claim seeks an injunction or equitable relief against the Indemnified Party; (iii) in the reasonable judgment of the Indemnified Party, there exists a material conflict of interest between the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party with respect to such Third Party Claim; or (iv) upon petition by the Indemnified Party, a court of competent jurisdiction issues a final,non-appealable Order that the Indemnifying Party failed or is failing to prosecute or defend such Third Party Claim with reasonable diligence given the circumstances, (A) the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to assume the defense of a Third Party Claim, (B) the defense thereof shall be conducted by the Indemnified Party with qualified counsel selected by the Indemnified Party and reasonably acceptable to the Indemnifying Party and (C) without limiting the Indemnifying Party’s other indemnification obligations under thisArticle VIII, the Indemnifying Party shall be liable to the Indemnified Party for the reasonable and actual legal expenses incurred by

the Indemnified Party in the conduct of the defense thereof (subject to the limitations set forth inSection 8.05). If the Indemnifying Party has assumed the defense of a Third Party Claim, (i) the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to the Indemnified Party for any legal expenses incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection therewith except as otherwise set forth herein, (ii) the Indemnified Party may retain separate counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnifying Party at its sole cost and expense and participate in the defense of the Third Party Claim (but the Indemnifying Party shall control such defense);provided, that the Indemnifying Party shall be responsible for the reasonable and actual legal expenses of separate counsel engaged by the Indemnified Party if (A) the employment of such counsel has been specifically authorized in writing by the Indemnifying Party or (B) the named parties to any such action (including any impleaded parties) include both such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party and such Indemnified Party shall have been advised in writing by such counsel that there exists a material conflict of interest between the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party with respect to the applicable Third Party Claim or (C) the Indemnifying Party shall have failed, or is not entitled, to assume the defense of such Third Party Claim in accordance with thisSection 8.04(a), (iii) the Indemnifying Party will not (A) admit to any wrongdoing or (B) consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the Third Party Claim on the part of the Indemnified Party, in each case, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (such written consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) and (iv) the Indemnified Party shall reasonably cooperate in the defense or prosecution of the Third Party Claim, including through the retention and (upon the Indemnifying Party’s request) the provision to the Indemnifying Party of records and information that are reasonably relevant to the Third Party Claim, and making employees reasonably available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall not, except with the written consent of the Indemnified Party (such written consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), enter into any settlement, compromise or discharge of a Third Party Claim unless such settlement, compromise or discharge (I) includes as an unconditional term thereof a complete release of the Indemnified Party and its Affiliates from all liability with respect to such Third Party Claim, (II) does not require the Indemnified Party or its Affiliates to admit to any wrongdoing and (III) does not impose any equitable or injunctive relief on the Indemnified Party or its Affiliates. Whether or not the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party will not admit any liability with respect to, or consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to or otherwise compromise or discharge, the Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party. For the avoidance of doubt, whether or not the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party will not be obligated to indemnify the Indemnified Party hereunder for any settlement entered into or any judgment that was consented to without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party.

(b)Procedures forNon-Third Party Claims. The Indemnified Party will promptly provide the Indemnifying Party with written notice (a “Claim Certificate”) of its discovery of any matter that does not involve a Third Party Claim against the Indemnified Party, but that the Indemnified Party has determined is reasonably like to give rise to a claim of indemnity hereunder, which Claim Certificate shall state in reasonable detail the nature, basis and the amount thereof, to the extent known, and be accompanied by copies of the relevant notices and documents received by the Indemnified Party that evidence or relate to such matter;provided, however,that the failure of the Indemnified Party to give prompt notice to the Indemnifying Party shall not affect the Indemnified Party’s right to indemnification hereunder except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is actually

and materially prejudiced as a result of the failure to give prompt notice. The Indemnifying Party shall, within 30 days from receipt of any such Claim Certificate, provide a responsive notice to the Indemnified Party acknowledging or disputing the claim or claims set forth in the Claim Certificate. In the event that the Indemnifying Party objects to the indemnification of an Indemnified Party in respect of any claim or claims specified in any Claim Certificate, the Indemnifying Party shall, within 30 days after receipt by the Indemnifying Party of such Claim Certificate, deliver to the Indemnified Party a notice to such effect, specifying in reasonable detail the basis for such objection, and the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall, within the 60 day period beginning on the date of receipt by the Indemnified Party of such objection and prior to submitting such dispute to the courts set forth inSection 11.08, attempt in good faith to agree upon the rights of the respective parties with respect to each of such claims to which the Indemnifying Party shall have so objected. If the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall succeed in reaching agreement on their respective rights with respect to any of such claims, the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall promptly prepare and sign a memorandum of agreement setting forth such agreement. Should the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party be unable to agree as to any particular item or items or amount or amounts within such time period, then the Indemnified Party shall be permitted to submit such dispute to the courts set forth inSection 11.08. Claims for Losses (i) the validity and amount of which are payable pursuant to the terms of a memorandum of agreement signed by the Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party, (ii) that have been the subject of final judicial determination in accordance withSection 11.08 hereof or (iii) that are settled as described inSection 8.04(a) are hereinafter referred to as “Agreed Claims”. Within 10 business days of the determination of the amount of any Agreed Claim (or at such other time as the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall agree in a memorandum of agreement or otherwise), the Indemnifying Party shall pay to the Indemnified Party an amount equal to the Agreed Claim by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the bank account or accounts designated by the Indemnified Party in a notice to the Indemnifying Party not less than 2 business days prior to such payment.

(b) The SDTS Indemnitees shall not be entitled to indemnification from or by SU for any of the following Losses:

(h) In no event shall the SU Indemnitees be entitled to indemnification with respect to any liability or obligation to the extent such liability or obligation was taken into account in the calculation of the Final STX Package Amount in accordance withArticle I of this Agreement.

(j) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, none of the limitations set forth in thisSection 8.05 shall apply to any Losses resulting from the actual and intentional fraud of the Indemnifying Party.

Section 8.06.Exclusive Remedy. Except with respect to a claim for actual and intentional fraud, the parties hereby agree that,from and after the Closing, the remedies of the parties specifically provided for in thisArticle VIII and inArticle IX shall be the sole and exclusive remedies available to any of the parties for all matters covered or contemplated by this Agreement;provided, however, that nothing herein shall limit the right of (i) SDTS and SU to receive the payments provided for inSection 1.08 orSection 1.09,(ii) Oncor, SDTS and SU to seek or obtain specific performance or injunctive relief pursuant toSection 11.13 or (iii) any party to seek relief under the express provisions of any Ancillary Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing (including without limiting any claim for actual and intentional fraud), the parties hereby expressly agree that, outside of the remedies specifically provided for in thisArticle VIII andArticle IX, (i) SDTS and Oncor shall not have any liability to the SU Indemnitees arising out of or related to any breach by SDTS or Oncor of any of the representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement and (ii) SU shall not have any liability to the SDTS Indemnitees arising out of or related to any breach by SU of any of the representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement.

Section 8.07.Insurance and Other Sources of Recovery; Mitigation.

(a)In the case of any Claims for which it is commercially reasonable for an Indemnified Party to seek recovery against or from one or more third parties or other sources (including rights of recovery under insurance policies or indemnification arrangements with third parties), such Indemnified Party shall (i) seek recovery from such other sources for so long as pursuit of such recovery is commercially reasonable and (ii) use commercially reasonable efforts to subrogate the Indemnifying Party with respect to such Claims if the Indemnified Party’s related claim for indemnification has been fully and finally resolved in accordance with thisArticle VIII. To the extent that a party obtains recovery in respect of claims for indemnity from any such sources (including from insurance proceeds or other cash receipts or sources of reimbursement received as an offset against such Loss or pursuant to any indemnification by or indemnification agreement with any third party), such party shall use the funds actually received (net of any actual Taxes, costs, expenses or premiums incurred in connection with securing or obtaining such proceeds) from such

recovery (in lieu of funds provided by any other party pursuant to the indemnification provisions of thisArticle VIII) to pay or otherwise satisfy such Claims, and any related Losses for which indemnification is available under thisArticle VIII shall be reduced by the amount of such funds paid to the Indemnified Party (net of any actual costs, expenses or premiums incurred in connection with securing or obtaining such proceeds). If, after an Indemnified Party receives any indemnification payment in respect of Losses under thisArticle VIII, the amount of the Losses as to which the Indemnified Party received an indemnification payment is reduced by recovery, settlement or other payment by or from any other Person or source such that the Indemnified Party’s indemnification payment was in excess of the amount of the Loss, the amount of such reduction will promptly be repaid by the Indemnified Party to the Indemnifying Party.

(b) Each party hereto shall take reasonable steps to mitigate its Losses upon and after becoming aware of any event which could reasonably be expected to give rise to any Losses for which it is or may be entitled to indemnification hereunder.

Section 8.08.Cooperation; Access to Documents and Information. The parties shall reasonably cooperate with each other in connection with resolving any indemnification claims (including Third Party Claims) as to which indemnification is or may be required to be provided in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any Indemnified Party who elects to seek indemnification pursuant to this Agreement shall (i) provide to the Indemnifying Party, as promptly as reasonably practicable, all documents and information relating to any such claim which are in the possession of the Indemnified Party or its Affiliates or can be obtained by the Indemnified Party without undue cost or expense and (ii) give the Indemnifying Party reasonable access to the accounting and other appropriate personnel and the independent accountants of the Indemnified Party and its Affiliates in order to permit the Indemnifying Party to obtain information reasonably required to evaluate any such Claim. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in thisSection 8.08, no party or any of its Affiliates shall be obligated to provide to any other party (x) any work papers or similar materials prepared by the independent public accountants of such party or its Affiliates, except to the extent that such accountants agree to provide access to such work papers or similar materials upon such terms and conditions as shall be determined by such accountants in their sole discretion, (y) any documents or information that are protected by the attorney-client privilege or work product doctrines if the applicable party determines in its reasonable discretion that providing copies or access to such documents or information could give rise to a possible waiver of such privilege or doctrine, or (z) any documents or information that, if disclosed pursuant to thisSection 8.08 would violate the terms of any confidentiality agreement to which such party is party (other than any such agreements with an Affiliate of such party).

Section 8.09.Tax Treatment of Indemnification. For all Tax purposes, SU and SDTS agree to treat (and shall cause each of their respective Affiliates to treat) any indemnity payment made pursuant toSection 8.01,Section 8.02 orSection 9.01 as an adjustment to the Final STX Package Amount or the Final NTX Package Amount, in each case unless a final determination within the meaning of Section 1313 of the Code by the IRS (which determination shall include the execution of an IRS Form 870-AD or successor form) or the applicable Taxing Authority provides otherwise.

Section 9.04.Tax Contests; Refunds; Cooperation; Tax Treatment.

(a) Within a reasonable time (but not more than ten days) after a party or any of their respective Affiliates receives written notice of any Tax contest, audit or other proceeding relating to Taxes which are attributable to aPre-Closing Tax Period and relate to GS LLC, the Subject NTX Operations, the NTX Assets, the Subject STX Operations or the STX Assets (each, a “Pre-Closing Tax Contest”), the party receiving such written notice shall notify the other party in writing of suchPre-Closing Tax Contest.

(b) The party that is responsible or liable underSection 9.01 for any Taxes resulting from such Pre-Closing Tax Contest (the “Responsible Party”) shall have the sole right, at such party’s expense, to control the defense of any suchPre-Closing Tax Contest. The other party (the “Other Party”), shall have the right to participate, at its own expense, in any suchPre-Closing Tax Contest which is reasonably anticipated to have the effect of directly increasing the Tax liability of the Other Party or its Affiliates for any Post-Closing Tax Period. The Responsible Party shall not settle or compromise any Pre-Closing Tax Contest in which the Other Party has a right to participate without the Other Party’s prior written consent if such settlement or compromise would directly and materially increase the Tax liability of the other party or its Affiliates for any Post-Closing Tax Period. Such consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided, however, that the Other Party shall consent to any settlement or compromise if the Responsible Party agrees to fully indemnify the Other Party for any increase in the Tax liability of the Other Party and its Affiliates which both is attributable to any Post-Closing Tax Period and directly results from such settlement or compromise.

(c) SDTS and SU shall jointly control the defense of any Tax contest, audit or other proceeding relating to Taxes which are attributable to a Straddle Period and relate to GS LLC, the Subject NTX Operations, the NTX Assets, the Subject STX Operations or the STX Assets (each, a “Straddle Tax Contest”). Within a reasonable time (but not more than ten days) after a party or any of their respective Affiliates receives written notice of any Straddle Tax Contest, the party receiving such written notice shall notify the other party in writing of such Straddle Tax Contest. Neither party shall settle or compromise any such Straddle Tax Contest without the other party’s prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

(d) The Responsible Party shall be entitled to any refund or overpayment of Taxes relating to GS LLC, the Subject NTX Operations, the NTX Assets, the Subject STX Operations or the STX Assets which are attributable to any Pre-Closing Tax Period. The amount of any refund or overpayment of Taxes for any Straddle Period shall be equitably apportioned between the applicable parties in accordance with the principles set forth inSection 9.01(c). Any such refunds received by the Other Party or any of its Affiliates shall promptly be paid (together with any interest received thereon, but net of reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in seeking such refund or overpayment) over to the Responsible Party. The Other Party agrees to notify the Responsible Party promptly of both the discovery of a right to claim any such refund or overpayment and the receipt of any such refund or utilization of any such overpayment. To the extent a refund or utilization of any overpayment that gave rise to a payment under thisSection 9.04(d) is subsequently disallowed or otherwise reduced, the Responsible Party shall pay to the Other Party the amount of such disallowed or reduced refund or utilization of any overpayment.

(e) Each party shall cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other party, in connection with the filing of Tax Returns pursuant toSection 9.02, any Pre-Closing Tax Contest, Straddle Tax Contest or Tax refund or overpayment claim pursuant to thisSection 9.04. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the other party’s reasonable request) the provision of records and information (including making such records and information

available for copying) which are reasonably relevant to any such audit, litigation or other proceeding, the timely provision to the other party of powers of attorney or similar authorizations necessary to carry out the purposes of thisArticle IX, and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. The parties agree to retain all books and records with respect to Tax matters pertinent to GS LLC, the Subject NTX Operations, the NTX Assets, the Subject STX Operations or the STX Assets relating to any Pre-Closing Tax Period or Straddle Period until the expiration of the statute of limitations (and, to the extent notified by the other party or its Affiliates, any extensions thereof) of the respective taxable periods, and to abide by all record retention agreements entered into with any Taxing Authority.

(f) Unless otherwise required pursuant to a determination by an applicable Taxing Authority, for U.S. federal income Tax purposes (and state and local Tax purposes where applicable), the parties intend for the Merger to be treated as a simultaneous exchange between SU and SDTS of the NTX Assets for the STX Assets which exchange, (a) to the extent such properties constitute real property, will qualify for Tax deferred treatment under Section 1031 of the Code to SU and SDTS and (b) to the extent not real property will be treated as boot received in connection with asset transfers that occur pursuant to the Merger. The parties will cooperate to structure the Merger in a manner consistent with such intended Tax treatment, including if requested by SU or SDTS, utilizing an “exchange accommodation titleholder” or a “qualified intermediary” as appropriate for the portion of such asset transfers that qualify as a like-kind exchange. Each party hereto shall prepare and file all Tax Returns in a manner that is consistent with the intended treatment described above, and none of the parties hereto, nor any of their respective Affiliates, shall take any position (whether in Tax Returns, Tax audits or otherwise) that is inconsistent with the intended Tax treatment described in the preceding sentence unless required to do so by a final determination within the meaning of Section 1313 of the Code.

Section 9.05.Other Provisions. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the provisions ofArticle VIII (other thanSection 8.05(a), to the extent relating to the survival of the SU Tax Representations or SDTS Tax Representations or the covenants set forth in thisArticle IX) shall not apply to indemnification with respect to Taxes or Tax Liabilities, indemnification with respect to breaches of SU Tax Representations or SDTS Tax Representations, Pre-Closing Tax Contests or any other Tax matter covered under thisArticle IX.

Section 9.06.1031 Allocation. SDTS and SU shall use commercially reasonable efforts to agree, within 30 days after the date that the Final Statements are finally determined pursuant toSection 1.09, to the classification of each NTX Asset and STX Asset for purposes of determining which of the NTX Assets and the STX Assets are real property for purposes of Section 1031 of the Code (the “1031 Allocation”). If SDTS and SU reach an agreement with respect to the 1031 Allocation, (i) SDTS and SU shall, and shall cause their Affiliates to, report consistently with the 1031 Allocation in all Tax Returns, and neither SDTS nor SU shall take any position in any Tax Return that is inconsistent with the 1031 Allocation, in each case, unless required to do so by a final determination within the meaning of Section 1313 of the Code, and (ii) each of SDTS and SU agree to promptly advise each other regarding the existence of any Tax audit, controversy or litigation related to the 1031 Allocation.

In the event that any SU Required Authorization shall not be obtained by SU prior to the Closing Date, SU agrees that it will provide to SDTS on the Closing Date a list of each such NTX Contributed Warranty, Contract and Permit (each, together with any NTX Contributed Warranty identified to SU by SDTS following Closing as requiring a Consent or Approval, whether due to a dispute by SDTS with any manufacturer, seller, supplier or other Person regarding the effectiveness of the allocation of any NTX Contributed Warranty pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise, an “SU Nontransferable Right”) that cannot be allocated at the Closing without obtaining such SU Required Authorizations and will continue to use commercially reasonable efforts to (X) obtain Consents or Approvals or (Y) with respect to the NTX Contributed Warranties and if requested by SDTS or the applicable counterparty, enter into a written assignment of such NTX Contributed Warranties to SDTS, in each case as promptly as reasonably practicable after the Closing Date, with respect to such SU Nontransferable Rights;provided, that, from and after the Closing Date, until such time as each such SU Required Authorization is obtained, SU shall continue to hold such SU Nontransferable Rights and provide SDTS to the greatest extent possible with the benefits under or in respect of all SU Nontransferable Rights, subject, in the case of any Contract or Permit, to the assumption by SDTS of SU’s obligations thereunder.

Closing Date, until such time as each such SDTS Required Authorization is obtained, SDTS shall continue to hold such SDTS Nontransferable Rights and provide SU to the greatest extent possible with the benefits under or in respect of all SDTS Nontransferable Rights, subject, in the case of any Contract or Permit, to the assumption by SU of SDTS’s obligations thereunder. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if and so long as any SDTS Required Authorization for the transfer and assignment of any SDTS Nontransferable Right has not been obtained, SDTS shall, at SU’s expense, (i) hold any such SDTS Nontransferable Rights in trust for the use and benefit of SU, (ii) provide SU with such benefits under or in respect of such SDTS Nontransferable Rights as will not result in a violation or breach of, or constitute a default under, the terms thereof, including enforcement for the account of SU of any and all rights of SDTS in respect of Claims that SDTS may now or hereafter have against any other party thereto, whether arising from the breach or cancellation thereof or otherwise, (iii) to the extent that such action will not result in a breach or violation of, or default under, the terms of such SDTS Nontransferable Rights, transfer to SU all assets and rights, including all monies, received in respect of such SDTS Nontransferable Rights and (iv) to the extent that the provisions of clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above are not sufficient to transfer all of the benefits of such SDTS Nontransferable Rights (other than legal title), take such actions as are reasonably required to transfer all of the benefits of such SDTS Nontransferable Rights (other than legal title) to SU.

(c) Prior to the Closing Date, Oncor, SU and SDTS shall reasonably cooperate with each other in good faith to determine the Master Governing Contracts to be included in the NTX Assets (the “Transferred Master Governing Contracts”) and allocated to SDTS pursuant to the Merger. Each of SDTS and SU acknowledge and agree that in connection with such determination, SDTS or SU may be required to enter into substitute Master Governing Contracts for the benefit of SDTS or SU, as applicable, following the Closing, and each will reasonably cooperate and use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that each party’s future operations are conducted under separate contracts unless the parties jointly determine to do otherwise.

Section 10.06.Further Assurances . From time to time after the Closing, as and when requested by either party hereto, the other party shall, at the expense of the requesting party (but subject toSection 10.05), execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, all such documents and instruments and take, or cause to be taken, all such further or other actions as such requesting party may reasonably deem necessary or desirable to evidence and effectuate the Transactions.

All Exhibits and Schedules annexed hereto or referred to herein are hereby incorporated in and made a part of this Agreement as if set forth in full herein. Any capitalized terms used in any Schedule or Exhibit but not otherwise defined therein shall have the meaning as defined in this Agreement.

(b) For purposes of the representations and warranties of each party contained in this Agreement, disclosure in any section of a Disclosure Schedule delivered by such party of any facts or circumstances shall be deemed to be adequate disclosure of such facts or circumstances with respect to all other representations or warranties made by such party, whether or not such disclosure specifically identifies or purports to respond to one or more of such other representations and warranties, to the extent reasonably apparent on the face of such Disclosure Schedule that such disclosure pertains to the subject matter of such other representations and warranties. Any information provided in a Disclosure Schedule is solely for informational purposes, and the inclusion of such information shall not be deemed to enlarge or enhance any of the representations or warranties of the party providing such Disclosure Schedule pursuant to this Agreement, or otherwise alter in any way the terms of this Agreement. The inclusion of any information in any section of the Disclosure Schedule or other document delivered by the parties pursuant to this Agreement shall not be deemed to be an admission or evidence of the materiality of such item, nor shall it establish a standard of materiality for any purpose whatsoever.

The words “hereof”, “hereto”, “hereby”, “herein” and “hereunder” and words of similar import when used in this Agreement shall refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement. The term “or” is not exclusive. The word “extent” in the phrase “to the extent” means the degree to which a subject or other thing extends or applies, and such phrase does not mean simply “if”. The definitions contained in this Agreement are applicable to the singular as well as the plural forms of such terms.

All Exhibits and Schedules hereto are hereby incorporated in and made a part of this Agreement as if set forth in full herein.

In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement (including the Disclosure Schedules and Exhibits hereto), on the one hand, and the provisions of the HIFR-Oncor Confidentiality Agreement, the Other Confidentiality Agreements or the Ancillary Agreements (including the schedules and exhibits thereto), on the other hand, the provisions of this Agreement shall control.

Section 11.07.Severability; Enforcement. The invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement or portion hereof shall not affect the validity, force or effect of the remaining provisions or portions hereof. If it is ever held under applicable Law that any restriction hereunder is too broad to permit enforcement of such restriction to its fullest extent, each party agrees that a court of competent jurisdiction may enforce such restriction to the maximum extent permitted by Law, and each party hereby agrees to negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties hereto as closely as possible in a reasonably acceptable manner in order that the Transactions may be consummated as originally intended to the fullest extent possible.

Section 11.08.Governing Law.

(c) Upon receipt of a Proposed Project from SU, Oncor shall have thirty (30) days to provide SU with written notice if it determines any additional information, data or analysis is required for a Proposed Project to be considered properly submitted in accordance withSection 1.02 (each a “Notification of Incompleteness”), which Notification of Incompleteness shall request such additional information, data or analysis as reasonably requested by Oncor to determine the adequacy of such submission. Any Notification of Incompleteness shall be provided to SU in accordance withSection 7.01. Such Proposed Project shall be deemed properly submitted to Oncor for the purposes of this Agreement upon the earlier to occur (such date, the “Submission Date”) of (i) the expiration of such thirty (30) day period after the submission of such Proposed Project to Oncor in accordance withSection 1.02(a), if Oncor has not delivered to SU a Notification of Incompleteness within such thirty (30) day period, (ii) the date of delivery of written notice from Oncor to SU that the submission of such Proposed Project is adequate, including with respect to provision of any requested additional information, data or analysis pursuant to a Notification of Incompleteness, and (iii) 30 days following SU’s provision of any requested additional information, data or analysis pursuant to the most recently delivered Notification of Incompleteness. Any request made for additional information, data or analysis pursuant to a Notification of Incompleteness or otherwise will not be deemed exclusive and will not preclude Oncor from making additional reasonable requests prior to a Proposed Project being deemed properly submitted in accordance with thisSection 1.02.

Section 1.03Evaluation Process for Proposed Projects.

(a) Oncor shall have sixty (60) days from the Submission Date to determine if Oncor desires to submit the Proposed Project to ERCOT (such period, an “Evaluation Period”). An Evaluation Period may be extended only by written agreement of SU and Oncor. If Oncor elects, within such Evaluation Period, to submit the Proposed Project to ERCOT (such Proposed Project, an “Accepted Project”), then Oncor shall (i) provide written notice to SU of its election

and (ii) submit such Accepted Project to ERCOT within thirty (30) days. In the event that either (A) Oncor provides written notice to SU that Oncor is declining to submit the Proposed Project to ERCOT or (B) Oncor fails to provide notice to SU prior to the expiration of such Evaluation Period that such Proposed Project is an Approved Project (such Proposed Project, a “Declined Project”), then SU may submit the Declined Project, to ERCOT within thirty (30) days (a “SU Submitted Project”) from the effective date that the Proposed Project is deemed a Declined Project.

(b) If (i) SU has not submitted a Declined Project to ERCOT within such time set forth in Section 1.03(a) or (ii) an SU Submitted Project is not endorsed or recommended for construction by ERCOT within eighteen (18) months of the date the SU Submitted Project is submitted to ERCOT (“ERCOT Approval Period”) then (A) SU shall have no rights to build such Declined Project or SU Submitted Project under this Agreement and (B) SU shall not be permitted to resubmit such Declined Project, SU Submitted Project or any substantially similar project to Oncor to be considered a Proposed Project and Oncor, SDTS and their affiliates shall have no obligations under this Agreement with respect to any such Declined Project or SU Submitted Project;provided,however, that if a SU Submitted Project remains under review by ERCOT twelve (12) months after submission to ERCOT, SU may make aone-time election, by delivering written notice to Oncor prior to the date that is eighteen (18) months following submission to ERCOT, to extend such ERCOT Approval Period for such SU Submitted Project for an additional six (6) months (for a total ERCOT Approval Period of twenty-four (24) months from the date of submission to ERCOT).

Section 1.04Submittal Process for Integration Projects.

(a) If SU desires to develop any Integration Project, each Integration Project shall be submitted by SU to Oncor by delivering a description of such project, along with modeling, appropriate studies and analysis to justify the project to the Oncor Director of Transmission Services or such other person as designated by written notice from Oncor to SU.

(b) Upon receipt of an Integration Project from SU, Oncor shall have thirty (30) days to provide SU with a Notification of Incompleteness, which Notification of Incompleteness shall request such additional information, data or analysis as reasonably requested by Oncor to evaluate the project. Any Notification of Incompleteness shall be provided to SU in accordance withSection 7.01. Such Integration Project shall be deemed properly submitted to Oncor for the purposes of this Agreement upon the earlier to occur (such date, the “Integration Project Submission Date”) of (i) the expiration of such thirty (30) day period after the submission of such Integration Project to Oncor in accordance withSection 1.04(a), if Oncor has not delivered to SU a Notification of Incompleteness within such thirty (30) day period, (ii) the date of delivery of written notice from Oncor to SU that the submission of such Proposed Project is adequate, including with respect to provision of any requested additional information, data or analysis pursuant to a Notification of Incompleteness, and (iii) 30 days following SU’s provision of any requested additional information, data or analysis pursuant to the most recently delivered Notification of Incompleteness. Any request made for additional information, data or analysis pursuant to a Notification of Incompleteness or otherwise will not be deemed exclusive and will not preclude Oncor from making additional reasonable requests prior to a Proposed Project being deemed properly submitted in accordance with thisSection 1.04.

Section 1.05Evaluation Process for Integration Projects.

(a) Oncor shall have sixty (60) days from the Integration Project Submission Date to determine if Oncor desires to develop the Integration Project (such period, an “Integration ProjectEvaluation Period”). An Integration Project Evaluation Period may be extended only by written agreement of SU and Oncor. If Oncor elects, within such Integration Project Evaluation Period, to develop the Integration Project (such Integration Project, an “Accepted Integration Project”), then Oncor shall (i) provide written notice to SU of its election and (ii) work cooperatively with SU to take all actions needed to develop such project. In the event that either (A) Oncor provides written notice to SU that Oncor is declining to pursue the Integration Project or (B) Oncor fails to provide notice to SU prior to the expiration of such Integration Project Evaluation Period that such Integration Project is an Approved Project (such Integration Project, a “Declined Integration Project”), then SU may proceed to take all necessary actions to develop the project on its own or with other partners (such project, an “SU Submitted Integration Project”).

(b) In the event of a Declined Integration Project, Oncor is under no duty to support and is free to oppose the Declined Integration Project. Any SU Submitted Integration Project that is not opposed by Oncor or SDTS is an “Unopposed SU Submitted Integration Project.”

Section 1.06Notification Process for SU Generation Interconnection Projects.

(a) Any resource entity may select SU to develop a Generation Interconnection to a point of interconnection with the Existing System.

(b) SU, in coordination with the resource entity, will notify Oncor of the resource entity’s selection of SU for the Generation Interconnection.

(i) At any time prior to signing an Interconnection Agreement, a generation resource entity may reverse its selection of SU for the Generation Interconnection. If such a reversal occurs, the provisions of the Building Plan will not apply to the Generation Interconnection.

(c) SU, in coordination with the resource and Oncor will provide Oncor with the necessary data to perform a Full Interconnection Study required by ERCOT. Oncor in good faith, after consultation with the resource, will have sole authority to determine the interconnection solution for the resource. As soon as practicable following completion of the Full Interconnection Study, Oncor will negotiate an Interconnection Agreement with the resource entity. Such Interconnection Agreement shall be negotiated in accordance with ERCOT protocols and consistent with Good Utility Practice.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, SU may not represent to or offer to any potential generation resource, its agents, representatives, or consultants the following:

(i) That the generation resource cannot contact or work directly with Oncor, SDTS, or ERCOT independent of SU,

(ii) That SU provides any cost advantage, efficiency, or expedited timeline in the generation interconnection process,

(iii) That any requirement exists for the generation resource to work with SU to connect to the Existing System, and

(iv) Any gift, trip, meal, or entertainment.

(e) If SU makes any representation or offer prohibited by Section 1.04(d), such representation or offer is a material default underSection 5.02.

Section 1.07Building Plan Compliance.

(a) For the avoidance of doubt, if necessary regulatory approvals to construct are received for an Accepted Project, SU Submitted Project, or substantially similar project, such Connecting Transmission Project will be constructed according to the provisions of the Building Plan. In addition, any SU Generation Interconnection with an executed Interconnection Agreement or an Accepted Integration Project or Unopposed SU Submitted Integration Project will be constructed according to the provisions of the Building Plan.

(b) If SU submits a Connecting Transmission Project to ERCOT or the PUCT in breach of this Agreement, the obligations of the Building Plan shall not apply to the project, neither Oncor nor its affiliates will have any obligations with respect to such project, and such submittal will be a material default incapable of cure underSection 5.02.

(c) In order to be considered substantially similar to an Accepted Project or SU Submitted Project the project must 1) be substantially similar and 2) meet the definition of a Connecting Transmission Project.

Section 1.08SU Projects. Except as otherwise permitted by this ARTICLE I, SU shall not, and shall cause each of its partners, affiliates, officers, directors, employees, advisors, representatives and agents (in each case other than with respect to Oncor, SDTS and their affiliates) to not, submit any Connecting Transmission Project or Integration Project to ERCOT.

Section 1.09Oncor and SDTS Projects. None of Oncor, SDTS or their respective affiliates will be subject to any prohibition or restriction on submitting project proposals or otherwise exercising its rights under applicable Law;provided,however, that for the avoidance of doubt, both Oncor and SDTS will be subject to the provisions of a Building Plan in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

ARTICLE II

Building Plan

Section 2.01Building Plan. Any Accepted Project, SU Submitted Project, Accepted Integration Project, Unopposed SU Submitted Integration Project, or SU Generation Interconnection to which this Agreement applies will be built and owned in accordance with the following (the “Building Plan”):

(a)Certification. All Accepted Projects, SU Submitted Projects, Accepted Integration Projects, Unopposed SU Submitted Integration Projects, or SU Generation Interconnections shall be certificated, as necessary, in accordance with the rules of the Public Utility Commission of Texas (“PUCT”) by Oncor. Oncor will be solely responsible for and have the sole authority to prepare, process, and litigate any CCN application or other required regulatory approval. SU shall cooperate with Oncor as reasonably requested by Oncor to support its efforts to obtain the required regulatory approvals.

(b)Construction. All Accepted Projects, SU Submitted Projects, Accepted Integration Projects, Unopposed SU Submitted Integration Projects, or SU Generation Interconnections connecting into the Existing System will be developed, planned, designed, procured, fabricated, engineered, commissioned, operated, maintained, and retired in the sole discretion and authority of Oncor, by Oncor, and according to Oncor’s standard practices and procedures.

(c)Ownership:

(i) If the Accepted Project or SU Submitted Project has one Oncor Endpoint and one Existing System endpoint, one half (1/2) of the greenfield transmission line portion of the project will be funded and owned as a 100% undivided interest to be held by Oncor. The other half of the greenfield transmission line portion of the project will be owned as a joint undivided interest to be held 75% by SU and 25% by SDTS or Oncor (election to be made by Oncor), subject to the Majority Owner Transfer Right;

(ii) if the Accepted Project or SU Submitted Project has one Existing System endpoint and one third-party endpoint, one half (1/2) of the greenfield transmission line portion of the project (or any lesser amount elected by such third-party) will be funded and owned by such third-party. The other half of the greenfield transmission line portion of the project (or any greater amount not owned by such third-party) will be owned as a joint undivided interest to be held 75% by SU and 25% by SDTS or Oncor (election to be made by Oncor), subject to the Majority Owner Transfer Right;

(iii) if the Accepted Project or SU Submitted Project has two Existing System endpoints, the greenfield transmission line portion of the project will be funded and owned as a joint undivided interest to be held 75% by SU and 25% by SDTS or Oncor (election to be made by Oncor), subject to the Majority Owner Transfer Right;

(iv) any greenfield transmission line portion of an SU Generation Interconnection will be funded and owned as a joint undivided interest to be held 75% by SU and 25% by SDTS or Oncor (election to be made by Oncor), subject to the Majority Owner Transfer Right; and

(v) for any Accepted Integration Project or Unopposed SU Submitted Integration Project involving a third party to be integrated and other third parties within ERCOT, Oncor, SDTS and SU will negotiate with any third parties involved in the project to determine the greenfield transmission line portion of the project that will be owned by such third parties. In addition, the greenfield transmission line portion of the Accepted Integration Project or Unopposed SU Submitted Integration Project that has an Oncor Endpoint and an ERCOT third party endpoint, will not be subject to any SU ownership. The greenfield transmission line portion of the Accepted Integration Project or Unopposed SU Submitted Integration Project remaining after removing the parts that will be owned by third parties and the parts that involve only an Oncor Endpoint and an ERCOT third party endpoint (“Remaining Integration Project”) will be funded and owned as joint undivided interests, with the percentages to be held by SU and by Oncor as follows:

(A) for an element of the Remaining Integration Project that has one Oncor Endpoint and one Existing System endpoint, one half (1/2) of such element will be funded and owned as a 100% undivided interest to be held by Oncor. The other half of such element will be owned as a joint undivided interest to be held 25% by SU and 75% by Oncor or SDTS (election to be made by Oncor), subject to the Majority Owner Transfer Right;

(B) for an element of the Remaining Integration Project that has one Existing System endpoint and one third-party endpoint, such element will be funded and owned as a joint undivided interest to be held 25% by SU and 75% by Oncor or SDTS (election to be made by Oncor), subject to the Majority Owner Transfer Right;

(d)Waiver of Right to Own. SDTS or Oncor (as applicable) shall have, in its sole discretion and authority, the ability to waive any right to own and build (“Waiver of Right to Own”) an SU Submitted Project, Unopposed SU Submitted Integration Project, Accepted Integration Project, or an SU Generation Interconnection (a “Waived Project”) and delegate the responsibility for the construction of the project to SU as provided for by the ERCOT Protocols. This Waiver of Right to Own must be provided in writing by Oncor or SDTS (as applicable) to SU within thirty (30) days prior to filing for any PUCT approvals. In the event SDTS or Oncor (as applicable) exercises its Waiver of Right to Own, the Building Plan will no longer apply to such Waived Project, and SU will be free to build and own such Waived Project or partner with others to do so.

Section 2.02Majority Owner Transfer Right. Other than any project for which Oncor or SDTS, as applicable, has exercised its Waiver of Right to Own, the Majority Owner, shall have the right to assign up to the Majority Owner Percentage Interest of the SU funding and ownership share hereunder of any Accepted Project, SU Submitted Project, Accepted Integration Project, Unopposed SU Submitted Integration Project, or SU Generation Interconnection to either Oncor, SDTS, or another affiliate of Oncor (in each case as Oncor may decide) and thereby modify the funding and ownership shares described inSection 2.01(c) for such project (such right, the “Majority Owner Transfer Right”). In order to exercise the Majority Owner Transfer Right, the Majority Owner must deliver written notice (an “Exercise Notice”) to the Parties no later than 30 days prior to (i) the date that the request for PUCT certification is submitted to the PUCT for any Accepted Project or SU Submitted Project, Accepted Integration Project, Unopposed SU Submitted Integration Project, or (ii) the date of execution by SDTS of the Interconnection Agreement in respect of an SU Generation Interconnection. Any such Exercise Notice shall specify (A) the applicable Accepted Project, SU Submitted Project, Accepted Integration Project, Unopposed SU Submitted Integration Project, or SU Generation Interconnection, (B) the entity to

whom the Majority Owner is assigning its funding share (with such election to be made by Oncor), and (C) the funding and ownership share of SU that the Majority Owner is assigning, which percentage shall in no event exceed the product of the funding and ownership share of SU described in Section 2.01(c) multiplied by the Majority Owner Percentage Interest. Upon delivery of an Exercise Notice, the funding and ownership shares described inSection 2.01(c) shall be modified for all purposes for the applicable Accepted Project, SU Submitted Project, Accepted Integration Project, Unopposed SU Submitted Integration Project, or SU Generation Interconnection. For example, assuming the Majority Owner elects to assign 100% of its funding share of a particular Accepted Project under Section 2.01(c)(iii)to Oncor and its Majority Owner Percentage Interest is 50%, then the funding and ownership interest in that Accepted Project will be modified so that, notwithstanding Section 2.01(c)(iii), the greenfield transmission line portion of such Accepted Project will be funded and owned as a joint undivided interest to be held 37.5% by Oncor (75% x 100% x 50% = 37.5%), 37.5% by SU (75% – 37.5% = 37.5%), and 25% by SDTS or Oncor at Oncor’s election.

Section 2.03Exemptions. For the avoidance of doubt, SU shall have no right under this Agreement to own or build 1) any portion of a transmission project between or only involving Oncor or SDTS facilities that are not part of the Existing System, 2) any endpoint or station facilities, and 3) any rebuild or upgrade of the Existing System.

Section 2.04O&M Exclusion. Upon Oncor’s reasonable good faith determination that Oncor’s provision of operation and maintenance (“O&M”) services for any applicable assets built in accordance with the Building Plan must be offered pursuant to Oncor’s tariff, then the ownership of the applicable assets will be divided and held as separate and distinct interests between Oncor (or its designee) and SU. Oncor will be the owner of and define the demarcation point, consistent with the Building Plan in good faith, for separate ownership. In the event the assets are so divided, the O&M services required for SU’s portion of the applicable assets will be provided by Oncor in a supplemental agreement generally consistent with the O&M Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if (i) the O&M Agreement was either not entered into because an Unconditioned O&M PUCT Approval was not received or (ii) the O&M Agreement terminated in accordance with its terms, then Oncor will not provide any O&M Services with respect to the applicable SU assets under the Building Plan and SU shall be solely responsible for any such services.

ARTICLE III

Cost Reimbursement

Section 3.01Approved Project Costs. If an Accepted Project, SU Submitted Project, Accepted Integration Project, Unopposed SU Submitted Integration Project, or SU Generation Interconnection is approved by the PUCT, as applicable, and proceeds with construction, Oncor shall submit an invoice to SU on a monthly basis for SU’s portion of costs pursuant toSection 2.01 of the project incurred, including allout-of-pocket costs incurred to plan, certificate, procure, and construct such Accepted Project, SU Submitted Project, Accepted Integration Project, Unopposed SU Submitted Integration Project, or SU Generation Interconnection (“Construction Cost Reimbursement”). Any reasonable and prudent rate recoverable third-party costs incurred by SU in studying, developing, and analyzing such Accepted Project, SU Submitted Project, Accepted Integration Project, or Unopposed SU Submitted Integration Project prior to submittal

to Oncor will be included in the total costs of the project and treated as an offset to the Construction Cost Reimbursement. This cost offset treatment will only be provided if SU provides an estimate of its reasonably incurred costs to Oncor at the time of project submittal. SU will submit reasonable supporting documentation of such reasonable and prudent rate recoverable third-party costs at the time of submitting its estimated costs to Oncor. If Oncor disputes the reasonableness of SU’s third party incurred costs, Oncor must notify SU within 60 days of receipt of SU’s estimate and supporting documentation. Payment of the Construction Cost Reimbursement will be due to Oncor no later than twenty (20) days after such invoice is submitted to SU.

Section 3.02Non-Approved Project Costs. If an Accepted Project, SU Submitted Project, Accepted Integration Project, Unopposed SU Submitted Integration Project, or SU Generation Interconnection that requires PUCT approval, is not approved by the PUCT, Oncor (or its Affiliate) shall submit an invoice to SU for SU’s portion of the costs pursuant toSection 2.01 incurred to prepare and litigate the CCN application (“Preparation Cost Reimbursement”), to the extent not already invoiced through the monthly invoices described inSection 3.01. SU and Oncor (or its Affiliate) shall be responsible for such costspro rata in accordance with the ownership percentages provided in the Building Plan. Payment of the Preparation Cost Reimbursement will be due to Oncor no later than twenty (20) days after such invoice is submitted to SU.

Section 3.03Failure to Pay. Failure to pay any undisputed invoice in accordance withSection 3.01 or3.02 will be considered a material default under this agreement. In order to dispute an invoice, a notice of dispute must be provided in writing to Oncor ten (10) days before payment is due and provide a full description for the basis of the dispute.

ARTICLE IV

Post Construction Regulatory Matters

Section 4.01Post-Construction Regulatory Matters. Unless already effectuated in the CCN or the Interconnection Agreement, within thirty (30) days of SU’s final Construction Cost Reimbursement to Oncor, Oncor, SDTS and SU will make all applicable regulatory filings (transfer of CCN rights), if any, to effectuate the ownership structure. The Parties agree to cooperate and provide supporting documentation and testimony, as may reasonably be requested, in connection with CCN transfer proceedings related to any Accepted Project, SU Submitted Project, Accepted Integration Project, Unopposed SU Submitted Integration Project, or SU Generation Interconnection. Within thirty (30) days SU’s final Construction Costs Reimbursement to Oncor, Oncor shall provide documentation and accounting information reasonably necessary for SU to record the assets as plant in service on its books and records and to file an interim update of transmission rates.

ARTICLE V

Any Third-Party Providers used in the course of providing the Services will be engaged on substantially similar terms as Oncor’s business practices for the applicable services, including with respect to minimum insurance requirements, warranties, and other customary terms.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Reference is made herein to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of October 18, 2018 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Oncor Electric Delivery Company, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Oncor”), 1912 Merger Sub, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, Oncor T&D Partners, LP, a Delaware limited partnership, InfraREIT, Inc., a Maryland corporation, and InfraREIT Partners LP, a Delaware limited partnership (the “Partnership”). Capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Merger Agreement.

In order to facilitate the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement (the “Transactions”), each of Oncor, Hunt Transmission Services, L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company (“Hunt”), 1912 Holding Partnership, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (the “General Partner”), and the Partnership (each, a “Party” and collectively, the “Parties”) hereby agree to the conditions, obligations and covenants as set forth in this letter agreement (the “Letter Agreement”), which shall be effective as of the Partnership Merger Effective Time.

1.Tax Matters. The Parties agree that:

(a)Interim Closing of the Books. With respect to the Partnership Units acquired by Oncor pursuant to the Partnership Merger (“Non-HIFR Partnership Units”), Oncor shall cause the Partnership to apply the “interim closing method” under Section 706 of the Code and

the Treasury Regulations thereunder so that all items of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit allocable to theNon-HIFR Partnership Units are allocated, as of the Partnership Merger Effective Time, between Oncor, on the one hand, and Hunt and the other limited partners of the Partnership holdingNon-HIFR Partnership Units prior to the Partnership Merger Effective Time, on the other hand. In addition to and in connection with the foregoing, each of the Partnership’s gross rental income and its gross income from bothpre-Company Merger Effective Time and post-Company Merger Effective Time operations shall be treated as an extraordinary item pursuant to Treasury Regulations sections1.706-4(e)(2)(ix) and1.706-4(f), with a view to maximizing the CodeSection 856-859 compliance of any past or present, direct or indirect, partner of the Partnership that seeks to comply with such Code Sections.

(b)Tax Return Preparation. Oncor shall prepare (or cause to be prepared) all U.S. federal income Tax Returns of the Partnership and any other Subsidiary Partnership relating to any Tax period ending on or before the Closing Date (a “Pre-Closing Period”) and the Tax period that includes the Closing Date (the “Straddle Period”). Subject toSection 1(a) hereof, such Tax Returns shall be prepared on a basis consistent with past practice except to the extent otherwise required by applicable Law; provided, however, Oncor or the General Partner shall be permitted to cause the Partnership and any other Subsidiary Partnership to make any election under the Code (and any correlative elections under applicable state and local laws) in its sole discretion to extent such election is not, in Oncor’s reasonable judgement, expected to materially increase the amount or materially change the character ofPre-Closing Period income or Straddle Period income, in each case, allocated to Hunt. At least thirty (30) days prior to the due date (taking into account any extensions related thereto) for filing any such Tax Return, Oncor shall deliver (or cause to be delivered) a draft of such Tax Return, together with all supporting documentation and workpapers, to Hunt for its review and comment. The Partnership shall consider in good faith any and all reasonable comments of Hunt with respect to such Tax Returns.

(c)Amended Tax Returns. Neither Oncor nor the General Partner shall, and neither Oncor nor the General Partner shall cause the Partnership to, file any amended U.S. federal income Tax Return for anyPre-Closing Period or the Straddle Period without the prior written consent of Hunt (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned).

(d)Cooperation. The Parties shall cooperate fully as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other Party, in connection with (i) the filing of Tax Returns and (ii) any audit, litigation or other proceeding (each, a “Tax Proceeding”) with respect to any such Tax Returns or Taxes, in each case, imposed (A) on or with respect to the assets, operations or activities of the Partnership for anyPre-Closing Period or the Straddle Period or (B) on or with respect to the assets, operations, or activities of InfraREIT, Inc. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the other Party’s request) the provision of records and information which are reasonably relevant to any such Tax Return or Tax Proceeding and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. Each Party further agrees, upon request by the other Party, to use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any certificate or other document from any Governmental Entity or any other Person as may be necessary to mitigate, reduce or eliminate any Tax that could be imposed on Hunt, on Oncor, on InfraREIT, Inc., on the General Partner, on the Partnership or on any beneficial owner thereof, in each case, with respect to the Partnership (including, but not limited to, with respect to the Partnership Merger).

(e) Tax Proceedings.

(i) The General Partner shall be the Tax Matters Partner (as defined in Section 6231 of the Code) and Partnership Representative (as defined in Section 6223 of the Code, amended by the Bipartisan Budget Act) for allPre-Closing Periods and the Straddle Period and may take all actions necessary or appropriate in such capacity; provided that the General Partner shall not, without receiving Hunt’s prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), in connection with any U.S. federal income Tax Proceeding of the Partnership or any other Subsidiary Partnership for aPre-Closing Period or the Straddle Period: (i) make any available U.S. federal income Tax election (other than a“push-out election” under Section 6226 of the Code or any election permitted under Section 1(b), which elections may be made without Hunt’s prior written consent), (ii) extend the statute of limitations for assessing or computing any U.S. federal income Tax liability of the Partnership or any other Subsidiary Partnership, or (iii) prepare and file protests, administrative adjustment requests, petitions, or pleadings, accept a settlement offer or initiate litigation (each, a “Prohibited Action”). The General Partner shall impose reasonable time requirements for Hunt to respond to a request with regard to a Prohibited Action. If Hunt fails to timely respond to such request, Hunt will be deemed to provide consent to such Prohibited Action and the General Partner may take whatever action it deems necessary to serve the best interests of the Partnership. Hunt agrees to execute, acknowledge, deliver, file or record at the appropriate public offices such documents as may be reasonably requested by the Partnership or the General Partner that are necessary or helpful to the General Partner’s appointment as Tax Matters Partner and Partnership Representative, as applicable, and/or the execution of any of the General Partner’s powers or duties in connection therewith.

(ii) Without limitingSection 1(e)(i) hereof, the General Partner shall (A) keep Hunt advised of any U.S. federal income Tax Proceeding the Partnership may have with respect to anyPre-Closing Period and the Straddle Period, (B) consult with Hunt regarding the nature and content of all action and defense to be taken by the Partnership in response to any such Tax Proceedings (including, but not limited to, (i) providing Hunt with copies of all correspondence received from a Governmental Entity; (ii) providing Hunt with copies of all drafts of correspondence from the General Partner to a Governmental Entity (which Hunt shall have a reasonable opportunity to comment on such drafts); and (iii) considering in good faith any suggestions from Hunt regarding such Tax Proceeding), and (C) afford Hunt the opportunity to participate, at its own expense, directly in the negotiation of the Tax Proceeding, to the extent permitted by Law.

(f)Consistent Reporting. Except as otherwise required by applicable Law, each Party that is or was a partner in the Partnership agrees to not treat any Partnership tax item on such Party’s U.S. federal, state or local income Tax Return in a manner that is inconsistent with the presentation of such item on the Partnership’s Tax Return, including, without limitation, the ScheduleK-1 provided by the Partnership to such Party or any“push-out” statement furnished by the Partnership to such Party, without the prior written consent of the General Partner.
