|In connection with its September 15, 2015 annual true-up filing submitted to the PUCT, the Servicer failed to remit notice and certain reports to the trustee, rating agencies and the PUCT due to inadvertent error with respect to one
series of transition bonds of another issuer for which it is the servicer.                                                |  | The Servicer remitted notice and certain reports to the trustee, rating agencies and the PUCT for the applicable series of transition bonds, which cured the default, on January 26, 2016.

|Since 2008, the Servicer did not comply with certain terms of the servicing agreement by and between the Servicer and another issuer of transition bonds with respect to one series of transition bonds for which it is the servicer due
to inadvertent error which caused an over-remittance of $2,624,656.80 to the trustee for such series of transition bonds. |  | The Servicer has provided notice to the issuer of such series of transition bonds, the trustee for such series of transition bonds and the
PUCT regarding such over-remittance. Additionally, the Servicer cured the error in January 2016.
