the Commission or the Rating Agencies to review the performance by the Servicer hereunder; provided however, that any such request by the Indenture Trustee shall not create any obligation for the Indenture Trustee to monitor the performance of the

(c)    The initial Servicer, in its capacity as Sponsor, shall post on its or its parent company’s website and file

compliance with the servicing criteria set forth in Item 1122(d) of Regulation AB during the immediately preceding calendar year 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 Closing Date through December 31, 2022), in accordance with paragraph (b) of Rule 13a-18 and 15d-18 of the
Exchange Act and Item 1122 of Regulation AB, identifying the results of such procedures and including any exceptions noted. In the event such accounting firm requires the Indenture Trustee or the Issuer to agree or consent to the procedures
performed by such firm, the Issuer shall direct the Indenture Trustee in writing to so agree; it being understood and agreed that the Indenture Trustee shall deliver such letter of agreement or consent in conclusive reliance upon the direction of
the Issuer, and the Indenture Trustee shall not make any independent inquiry or investigation as to, and shall have no obligation or liability in respect of, the sufficiency, validity or correctness of such procedures.

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. The costs of the Annual Accountant’s Report shall be reimbursable as an Operating Expense under the Indenture. 
 ARTICLE IV.

 SERVICES RELATED TO TRUE-UP ADJUSTMENTS 

SECTION 4.01.    True-Up Adjustments. 

From time to time, until the Collection in Full of the Charges for the Securitized Utility Tariff Bonds, the Servicer shall identify the need
for 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 Securitized Utility Tariff Bonds is
attached hereto as Schedule 4.01(a). 

  
 10 












 (b)    True-Up Adjustments. 

(i)    Semi-Annual True-Up Adjustments and Filings. Every six
months, no later than 30 days prior to each Semi-Annual Adjustment Date, the Servicer shall: (A) update the data and assumptions underlying the calculation of the Securitized Utility Tariff Charges, including interest and estimated expenses and
fees of the Issuer to be paid during such period and write-offs; (B) determine the Periodic Payment Requirements and Periodic Billing Requirement based on such updated data and assumptions; (C) determine the Securitized Utility Tariff
Charges to be allocated to each Customer Class based on such Periodic Billing Requirement and the terms of the Financing Order and the Tariffs filed pursuant thereto; (D) make all required notice and other filings with the Commission to
reflect the revised Securitized Utility Tariff Charges, including the filing of a True-Up Letter and any Amendatory Tariffs, with copies to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee, and (E) take all
reasonable actions and make all reasonable efforts to effect such Semi-Annual True-Up Adjustment and to enforce the provisions of the Securitization Law and the Financing Order. 

(ii)    Interim True-Up Adjustments and Filings. 

(A)    Within the 30-day period that follows the Scheduled Payment
Date that is one year prior to the Scheduled Final Payment Date and quarterly thereafter, the Servicer shall compare the current Outstanding Amount after giving effect to payments to be made on such Payment Date, to the projected Outstanding Amount
as of the next Payment Date. The Servicer shall, no later than 15 days prior to the end of such 30-day period, make a mandatory Interim True-Up Adjustment if the
Servicer forecasts that Securitized Utility Tariff Charges will be insufficient (x) to make all remaining payments of interest, principal and other amounts in respect of the Securitized Utility Tariff Bonds, and (y) to replenish the
Capital Subaccount for the Securitized Utility Tariff Bonds to the Required Capital Amount on the next Payment Date. For the avoidance of doubt, beginning twelve months prior to the Scheduled Final Payment Date, the Servicer shall make an Interim True-Up Adjustment, if required in accordance with this clause (ii)(A), three months prior to each Semi-Annual True-Up Adjustment Date. 

(B)    In addition, the Servicer at any time may make an Interim
True-Up Adjustment if the Servicer forecasts that Securitized Utility Tariff Charges will be insufficient (x) to make all scheduled payments of interest, principal and other amounts in respect of any
Securitized Utility Tariff Bonds during the current semi-annual period or quarterly period, as applicable, and (y) to 

  
 11 












 
replenish the Capital Subaccount to the Required Capital Amount, and it further determines that the semi-annual or quarterly true up adjustments described above in clause (i) or this clause
(ii) need to be supplemented to enhance the likelihood that the Securitized Utility Tariff Bonds are paid on a timely basis. 

(C)    If the Servicer determines that an Interim True-Up
Adjustment is required under clause (ii)(A) or (ii)(B) above, then the Servicer shall: (1) update the data and assumptions underlying the calculation of the Securitized Utility Tariff Charges, including interest and estimated expenses and fees
of the Issuer to be paid during such period, the rate of delinquencies and write-offs; (2) determine the Securitized Utility Tariff Charges to be imposed upon each Customer Class based on the terms of the Financing Order and the Tariffs
filed pursuant thereto, and in doing so the Servicer shall use the method of allocating Securitized Utility Tariff Charges then in effect, (3) make all required notice and other filings with the Commission to reflect the revised Securitized
Utility Tariff Charges, including the filing of a True-Up Letter and any Amendatory Tariffs, with copies to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee; and (4) 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
Securitized Utility Tariff Charges, if any, resulting from such Interim True Up Adjustment on the Interim True-Up Adjustment Date. 

(D)    Interim True-Up Adjustments described herein shall occur no
more than every six months prior to the Scheduled Final Payment Date and beginning on the Payment Date that is one year prior to the Scheduled Final Payment Date, no more than every three months. 

(iii)    True-Up Letter Filings. Each True-Up Letter filed in connection with a Semi-Annual True-Up Adjustment and/or Interim True-Up Adjustment shall be filed,
substantially in the form attached to the Financing Order as Appendix C. Each Semi-Annual True-Up Letter shall be filed no later than 30 days prior to the first billing cycle of the month in which the

(iii)    Servicer Certificate. In the event the Servicer, on behalf of the Issuer, shall request that the
Indenture Trustee make a distribution from the Collection Account for the purposes set forth in Section 8.2(e)(i), (e)(ii) or (e)(iii) of the Indenture on a date that is not a Payment Date or Special Payment Date, the Servicer shall deliver a
written report to the Issuer, the Commission and the Indenture Trustee substantially in the form of the Semi-Annual Servicer Certificate (the “Servicer Certificate”), provided that only the information pertinent to the requested

 (iv)    Reports to Customers. 

(A)    After each revised Securitized Utility Tariff 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 Commission Regulations or Commission requirements, if any, cause to be prepared and delivered to
Customers any required notices announcing such revised Securitized Utility Tariff Charges. 
 (B)    The
Servicer shall comply with the requirements of the Financing Order with respect to the filing of the Winter Event Securitized Cost Recovery Rider to ensure that the Securitized Utility Tariff Charges are separate and apart from the Servicer’s

 (C)    The Servicer

SECTION 4.02.    Limitation of Liability. 

The Issuer and the Servicer expressly agree and acknowledge that: 

(a)    In connection with any True-Up Adjustment, the Servicer is acting solely in
its capacity as the servicing agent hereunder. 
 (b)    None of the Servicer, the Issuer or 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 Servicing Agreement that adversely affects the Securitized Utility Tariff Property or the True-Up Adjustments), by the Commission in any way related to the Securitized Utility Tariff 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 Securitized Utility Tariff Charges and the scheduled adjustments thereto. 

(c)    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 Securitized Utility Tariff Charges and the scheduled adjustments thereto, including as a result of any inaccuracy of any of the assumptions made in such calculation regarding
expected customer count, 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 grossly 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 Securitized Utility Tariff Bonds generally. 

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 Servicing Agreement. 

ARTICLE V. 
 THE
SECURITIZED UTILITY TARIFF PROPERTY 
 SECTION 5.01.    Custody of Securitized Utility Tariff Property
Records. To assure uniform quality in servicing the Securitized Utility Tariff Property and to reduce 

  
 14 












 
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 Servicer shall keep on file, in accordance with its customary procedures, relating to the Securitized Utility Tariff Property, including copies of the Financing Order, the Issuance Advice Letter, Tariffs and Amendatory Tariffs
relating thereto and all documents filed with the Commission in connection with any True-Up Adjustment and computational records relating thereto (collectively, the “Securitized Utility Tariff Property
Records”), which are hereby constructively delivered to the Indenture Trustee, as pledgee of the Issuer with respect to all Securitized Utility Tariff Property. 

SECTION 5.02.    Duties of Servicer as Custodian. 

(a)    Safekeeping. The Servicer shall hold the Securitized Utility Tariff Property Records on behalf of the Issuer and
maintain such accurate and complete accounts, records and computer systems pertaining to the Securitized Utility Tariff Property Records as shall enable the Issuer, the Commission and the Indenture Trustee, as applicable, to comply with this
Servicing 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 Securitized Utility Tariff 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 Securitized Utility Tariff Property Records. The Servicer’s duties to hold the Securitized Utility Tariff Property Records set forth in this Section 5.02, to the extent such Securitized Utility Tariff
Property Records have not been previously transferred to a successor Servicer pursuant to Article VII, shall terminate one (1) year and one (1) 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 Securitized Utility Tariff Bonds are Outstanding. 

(b)    Maintenance of and Access to Records. The Servicer shall maintain the Securitized Utility Tariff Property Records
at its office identified in Section 8.04 or at such other office as shall be specified to the Issuer, the Commission, and the Indenture Trustee by written notice at least 30 days prior to any change in location. The
Servicer shall make available for inspection, audit and copying to the Issuer the Commission, and the Indenture Trustee or their respective duly authorized representatives, attorneys or auditors the Securitized Utility Tariff Property Records at
such times during normal business hours as the Commission or the Indenture Trustee shall reasonably request and that 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 Commission 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 Securitized Utility Tariff Property Records to the Indenture Trustee, the Indenture Trustee’s agent or the Indenture Trustee’s 

  
 15 












 
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 Commission Regulation) prohibiting disclosure of information regarding 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
Securitized Utility Tariff Property Against Claims. To the extent not undertaken by the Seller pursuant to Section 4.08 of the Sale Agreement, the Servicer shall negotiate for the retention of legal counsel and such other experts as may be
needed to institute and maintain any action or proceeding, on behalf of and in the name of the Issuer, necessary to compel performance by the Commission or the State of Kansas or any other state agency of any of their obligations or duties under the
Securitization Law and the Financing Order, and the Servicer agrees to assist the Issuer and its legal counsel in taking such legal or administrative actions, including defending against or instituting and pursuing legal actions and appearing or
testifying at hearings or similar proceedings, as may be reasonably necessary to attempt to block or overturn any attempts to cause a repeal of, modification of or supplement to the Securitization Law or the Financing Order, or the rights of Holders
by legislative enactment, constitutional amendment or other means that would be adverse to Holders. In any proceedings related to the exercise of the power of eminent domain by any municipality to acquire a portion of KGS’s distribution
facilities, the Servicer will assert that the court ordering such condemnation must treat such municipality as a successor to KGS under the Securitization Law and the Financing Order. The costs of any such action shall be payable as an Operating
Expense from Securitized Utility Tariff Charges as an Ongoing Financing Cost (and shall not be deemed to constitute a portion of the Servicing Fee) in accordance with the priorities set forth in Section 8.02(d) of the Indenture. The
Servicer’s obligations pursuant to this Section 5.02 shall survive and continue notwithstanding the fact that the payment of Operating Expenses pursuant to Section 8.02 of the Indenture and any supplemental
indenture may be delayed; provided, that, the Servicer is obligated to institute and maintain such action or proceedings only if it is being reimbursed on a current basis for its costs and expenses in taking such actions in accordance with
Section 8.02 of the Indenture, and is not required to advance its own funds to satisfy these obligations. 

SECTION 5.03.    Custodian’s Indemnification. The Servicer as custodian shall indemnify the
Issuer, any Independent Manager 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, including reasonable out-of-pocket fees
and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) of investigation and litigation and enforcing the Servicer’s indemnification obligations hereunder (collectively, “Indemnified 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 Securitized Utility Tariff 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 gross negligence of the Issuer, any Independent Manager 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. 

  
 16 












 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 Servicing 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 (1) year and
one (1) day after the date on which no Securitized Utility Tariff Securitized Utility Tariff Bonds are Outstanding. KGS shall not resign as Servicer if such resignation does not satisfy the Rating Agency Condition or without consent of the
Commission. 
 ARTICLE VI. 

THE SERVICER 

SECTION 6.01.    Representations and Warranties of Servicer. The Servicer makes the following representations
and warranties, as of the Closing Date, and as of such other dates as expressly provided in this Section 6.01, on which the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee are deemed to have relied in entering into this Servicing
Agreement relating to the servicing of the Securitized Utility Tariff Property, and on which the Commission relied in exercising its rights to review and provide input pursuant to the terms of the Financing Order. The representations and warranties
shall survive the execution and delivery of this Servicing Agreement, the sale of the Securitized Utility Tariff Property and the pledge thereof to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to the Indenture. 

(a)    Organization and Good Standing. The Servicer is duly organized, validly existing and is in good standing under the
laws of the state of its organization, with requisite power and authority to own its properties, to conduct its business as such properties are currently owned and such business is presently conducted by it, to service the Securitized Utility Tariff
Property and hold the records related to the Securitized Utility Tariff Property, and to execute, deliver and carry out the terms of this Servicing Agreement. 

(b)    Due Qualification. The Servicer is duly qualified to do business and is in good standing, and has obtained all
necessary licenses and approvals, in all jurisdictions in which the ownership or lease of property or the conduct of its business (including the servicing of the Securitized Utility Tariff Property as required by this Servicing Agreement) requires
such qualifications, licenses or approvals (except where a failure to qualify would not be reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Servicer’s business, operations, assets, revenues or properties or to its servicing of the
Securitized Utility Tariff Property). 
 (c)    Power and Authority. The execution, delivery and performance of the
terms of this Servicing Agreement have been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of the Servicer under its organizational or governing documents and laws. 

(d)    Binding Obligation. This Servicing Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Servicer
enforceable against the Servicer in accordance with its 

  
 17 












 
respective terms, subject to applicable insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent transfer and other laws relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally from time to time in
effect and to general principles of equity (including concepts of materiality, reasonableness, good faith and fair dealing), regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law. 

(e)    No Violation. The consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Servicing Agreement do not conflict with,
result in any breach of or constitute (with or without notice or lapse of time) a default under the Servicer’s organizational documents or any indenture or other agreement or instrument to which the Servicer is a party or by which it or any of
its property is bound, result in the creation or imposition of any Lien upon the Servicer’s properties pursuant to the terms of any such indenture or agreement or other instrument (other than any Lien that may be granted in favor of the
Indenture Trustee for the benefit of Holders under the Basic Documents) or violate any existing law or any existing order, rule or regulation applicable to the Servicer of any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Servicer or its
properties. 
 (f)    No Proceedings. There are no proceedings or investigations pending or, to the Servicer’s
knowledge, threatened against the Servicer before any court, federal or state regulatory body, administrative agency or other governmental instrumentality having jurisdiction over the Servicer or its properties: (i) seeking to prevent the
issuance of the Securitized Utility Tariff Bonds or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Servicing Agreement or any of the other Basic Documents, or, if applicable, any supplement to the Indenture or amendment to the Sale
Agreement; (ii) seeking any determination or ruling that might materially and adversely affect the performance by the Servicer of its obligations under, or the validity or enforceability against the Servicer of, this Servicing Agreement or any
of the other Basic Documents; or (iii) relating to the Servicer and which might materially and adversely affect the treatment of the Securitized Utility Tariff Bonds for federal or state income, gross receipts or franchise tax purposes. 

(g)    Approvals. No governmental approvals, authorizations, consents, orders or other actions or filings with any
Governmental Authority are required for the Servicer to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under this Servicing Agreement except those that have previously been obtained or made, those that are required to be made by the Servicer in the
future pursuant to Article IV and those that the Servicer may need to file in the future to continue the effectiveness of any financing statements. 

(h)    Reports and Certificates. Each report and certificate delivered in connection with any filing made with the
Commission by the Servicer on behalf of the Issuer with respect to the Securitized Utility Tariff Charges or True-Up Adjustments will constitute a representation and warranty by the Servicer that each such
report or certificate, as the case may be, is true and correct in all material respects, and to the extent that such report or certificate is based upon or contains assumptions, forecasts or other predictions of future events, the representation and
warranty of the Servicer with respect thereto will be limited to the representation and warranty that such assumptions, forecasts or other predictions of future events are reasonable based upon historical performance (and facts known to the Servicer
on the date such report or certificate is delivered). 

  
 18 












 The Servicer, the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer are not responsible 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 with the Commission required by this Servicing Agreement in a timely and correct manner or any breach
by the Servicer of its duties under this Servicing Agreement that adversely affects the Securitized Utility Tariff Property or the True-Up Adjustments), by the Commission in any way related to the Securitized
Utility Tariff Property or in connection with any True-Up Adjustment, the subject of any such filings, any proposed True-Up Adjustment or the approval of any revised
Securitized Utility Tariff Charges and the scheduled adjustments thereto. Except to the extent that the Servicer otherwise is liable under the provisions of this Servicing Agreement, the Servicer shall have no liability whatsoever relating to the
calculation of any revised Securitized Utility Tariff charges and the scheduled adjustments thereto, including as a result of any inaccuracy of any of the assumptions made in such calculations, so long as the Servicer has acted in good faith and has
not acted in a grossly negligent manner in connection therewith, nor shall the Servicer have any liability whatsoever as a result of any person or entity, including the Holders, not receiving any payment, amount or return anticipated or expected or
in respect of any Securitized Utility Tariff Bond generally. 
 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 Servicing Agreement. 
 (a)    The Servicer shall indemnify the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee
(for itself and for the benefit of the Holders) and the Independent Manager and each of their respective trustees, officers, directors, employees and agents (each, an “Indemnified Party”), for, and defend and hold harmless each such
Person from and against, any and all Indemnified 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, or reckless disregard
of, its duties or observance of its covenants under this Servicing Agreement, (ii) the Servicer’s material breach of any of its representations or warranties that results in a Servicer Default under this Servicing Agreement; and
(iii) litigation and related expenses relating to the Servicer’s status and obligations as Servicer (other than any proceeding the Servicer is required to institute under this Servicing Agreement), except to the extent of Indemnified
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. 
 (b)    For purposes of this
Section 6.02(b), in the event of the termination of the rights and obligations of KGS (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 Servicing Agreement, such Servicer shall be deemed to be the Servicer pending appointment of a successor Servicer pursuant to
Section 7.02. 
 (c)    Indemnification under this Section 6.02
shall survive any repeal of, modification of, or supplement to, or judicial invalidation of, the Securitization Law or the Financing Order and shall survive the resignation or removal of the Indenture Trustee or any Independent Manager or the
termination of this Servicing Agreement. 

  
 19 












 (d)    Except to the extent expressly provided in this Servicing
Agreement or the other Basic Documents (including the Servicer’s claims with respect to the Servicing Fee and the payment of the purchase price of Securitized Utility Tariff Property), the Servicer hereby releases and discharges the Issuer, any
Independent Manager 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 Securitized Utility Tariff 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. 
 (e)    The Servicer
will credit Customers to the extent there are higher Securitized Utility Tariff Charges, including higher servicing fees payable to a Successor Servicer, because of the Servicer’s negligence, recklessness, willful misconduct or termination of
this Servicing Agreement for cause, provided, that any such credit to Customers shall not impact the Securitized Utility Tariff Charges or the Securitized Utility Tariff Property. The Servicer’s obligation to credit Customers will survive the
termination of this Servicing Agreement. 
 (f)    The Servicer shall not be required to indemnify an Indemnified Party
for any amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party in the settlement of any action, proceeding or investigation without the written consent of the Servicer, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Promptly after receipt by an
Indemnified Party 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 Party 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 Party to so notify the Servicer shall relieve the Servicer from the obligation to
indemnify and hold harmless such Indemnified Party 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 Party, 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 Party
except as set forth below); provided, that the Indemnified Party 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 Party 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 Party and the Servicer and the Indemnified Party 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 Party to represent the Indemnified Party within a reasonable time after notice of the institution of
such action, (iii) the Servicer shall authorize the Indemnified Party 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 

  
 20 












 
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
Parties other than one local counsel, if appropriate. The Servicer will not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any pending or threatened claim,
action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification may be sought under this Section 6.02 (whether or not the Indemnified Party is an actual or potential party to such claim or action) unless such settlement,
compromise or consent includes an unconditional release of the Indemnified Party from all liability arising out of such claim, action, suit or proceeding. 

SECTION 6.03.    Binding Effect of Servicing Obligations  

The obligations to continue to provide service and to collect and account for Securitized Utility Tariff Charges will be binding upon the
Servicer, any Successor and any other entity that provides natural gas distribution services to a Person that is a retail gas sales customer of KGS or any Successor so long as the Securitized Utility Tariff Charges have not been fully collected and
remitted. Any Person (a) into which the Servicer may be merged, converted or consolidated, (b) that may result from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Servicer shall be a party, or (c) that may succeed to the
properties and assets of the Servicer substantially as a whole, 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 the successor to the Servicer under
this Servicing Agreement without further act on the part of any of the parties to this Servicing Agreement; provided, however, that: 

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

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

(c)    the Servicer shall have delivered to the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the Commission and the Rating Agencies an
Opinion of Counsel from external counsel of the Servicer either: 
 (i)    stating that, in the opinion
of such counsel, all filings to be made by the Servicer, including filings with the Commission pursuant to the Securitized Utility Tariff Law 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 Securitized Utility Tariff Property and reciting the details of such filings or 

  
 21 












 (ii)    stating that, in the opinion of such counsel, no
such action shall be necessary to preserve and protect such interests, 
 (d)    the Servicer shall have delivered to
the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the Commission and the Rating Agencies an Opinion of Counsel from independent tax counsel stating that, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, such consolidation, conversion, merger or succession and such agreement
of assumption will not result in a material adverse U.S. federal income tax consequence to the Issuer or the Holders, 

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

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, by
merger, conversion, consolidation, sale, transfer, lease or otherwise, to all or substantially all the assets of the Servicer 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 its obligations hereunder (except for responsibilities for its actions prior to such release). 

SECTION 6.04.    Limitation on Liability of Servicer and Others. 

Except as otherwise provided under this Servicing 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 Servicing 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 negligence, recklessness or willful misconduct in the performance of duties or by reason of reckless disregard of obligations and
duties under this Servicing 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 Servicing Agreement. 
 Except as provided in this Servicing Agreement, including
Section 5.02(d), the Servicer shall not be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action relating to the Securitized Utility Tariff Property that is not directly related to one of the
Servicer’s enumerated duties in this Servicing 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 Servicing 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 Servicing Agreement and the interests of the Holders and Customers under this Servicing Agreement. The Servicer’s costs and expenses incurred in connection with any such Proceeding shall
be payable from Securitized Utility Tariff Charges as an Ongoing Financing Cost (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 Ongoing Financing Cost 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). 

  
 22 












 SECTION 6.05.    KGS Not to Resign as Servicer. 

Subject to Section 6.03, KGS shall not resign from the obligations and duties imposed on it as Servicer under this
Servicing Agreement except upon a determination that KGS’s performance of its duties under this Servicing Agreement shall no longer be permissible under applicable Requirements of Law. Notice of any such determination permitting the resignation
of KGS shall be communicated to the Issuer, the Commission, the Indenture Trustee and each Rating Agency at the earliest practicable time (and, if such communication is not in writing, shall be confirmed in writing at the earliest practicable time),
and any such determination shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect delivered to the Issuer, the Commission and each Indenture Trustee concurrently with or promptly after such notice. No such resignation shall become effective
until a Successor Servicer has been approved by the Commission and has assumed the servicing obligations and duties hereunder of the Servicer in accordance with Section 7.02. 

SECTION 6.06.    Servicing Compensation. 

(a)    In consideration for its services hereunder, until the Collection in Full of the Charges, the Servicer shall receive
an annual fee (the “Servicing Fee”) in an amount equal to (i) 0.05% of the aggregate initial principal amount of the Securitized Utility Tariff Bonds plus reimbursable expenses for so long as KGS or an Affiliate of KGS is the
Servicer, or (ii) if KGS or any of its Affiliates is not the Servicer, an amount agreed upon by the Successor Servicer, and the Indenture Trustee, provided, that the annual Servicing Fee shall not exceed 0.60% of the aggregate initial principal
amount of the Securitized Utility Tariff Bonds, unless the Commission has approved the appointment of the Successor Servicer or the Commission does not act to approve or disapprove such appointment on or before the date which is 30 days after notice
of the proposed appointment of the Successor Servicer is provided to the Commission in the same manner substantially as provided in Section 8.01(c). 

(b)    The Servicing Fee owing shall be calculated based on the initial principal amount of the Securitized Utility Tariff
Bonds and shall be paid semi-annually, with half of the Servicing Fee being paid on each Payment Date, except for the amount of the Servicing Fee to be paid on the first Payment Date in which case the Servicing Fee then due will be calculated based
on the number of days that this Servicing Agreement has been in effect. In addition, the Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed by the Issuer for filing fees and fees and expenses for printing, attorneys, accountants or other professional
services retained by the Issuer and paid for by the Servicer (or procured by the Servicer on behalf of the Issuer and paid for by the Servicer) to meet the Issuer’s obligations under the Basic Documents (“Reimbursable
Expenses”). Except for such Reimbursable Expenses, the Servicer shall be required to pay all other costs and expenses incurred by the Servicer in performing its activities hereunder (but, for the avoidance of doubt, excluding any such costs
and expenses incurred by KGS in its capacity as Administrator). 

  
 23 












 (c)    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 shall 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. 
 (d)    The Servicer and the
Issuer acknowledge and agree that so long as the Servicer faithfully makes daily remittances of collected Securitized Utility Tariff Charges as provided for herein, no actual or deemed investment earnings shall be payable in respect of any
over-remittances or under-remittances of collected Securitized Utility Tariff Charges. However, the Servicer shall remit at least annually to the Indenture Trustee, for the benefit of the Issuer, any late charges received from Customers in respect
of Securitized Utility Tariff Charges. 
 (e)    Except as expressly provided elsewhere in this Servicing 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. 
 (f)    The foregoing Servicing Fee constitutes a fair and reasonable compensation 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. 

(g)    Any services required for or contemplated by the performance of the above-referenced services by the Servicer to be
provided by unaffiliated third parties may, if provided for or otherwise contemplated by the Financing Order and if the Issuer deems it necessary or desirable, be arranged by the Issuer or by the Servicer at the direction (which may be general or
specific) of the Issuer. Costs and expenses associated with the contracting for such third-party professional services may be paid directly by the Issuer or paid by the Servicer and reimbursed by the Issuer in accordance with
Section 6.06(a), or otherwise as the Servicer and the Issuer may mutually arrange. 

SECTION 6.07.    Compliance with Applicable Law. 

The Servicer covenants and agrees, in servicing the Securitized Utility Tariff Property, to comply in all material respects with all laws
applicable to, and binding upon, the Servicer and relating to the Securitized Utility Tariff Property the noncompliance with which would have a material adverse effect on the value of the Securitized Utility Tariff 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 

  
 24 












 
faith in accordance with its customary standards and procedures. It is expressly acknowledged that the payment of fees to the Rating Agencies shall be at the expense of the Issuer and that, if
the Servicer advances such payments to the Rating Agencies, the Issuer shall reimburse the Servicer for any such advances. 

SECTION 6.08.    Access to Information Regarding Securitized Utility Tariff Property. 

The Servicer shall provide to the Indenture Trustee access to the Securitized Utility Tariff Property Records for the Securitized Utility
Tariff Bonds 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 offices of the Servicer. Nothing in this Section 6.08 shall affect the obligation of the Servicer to observe any
applicable law (including any Commission Regulation) prohibiting disclosure of information regarding 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 the Rating Agency Condition shall have been satisfied in connection therewith; provided, further, that the Servicer shall remain obligated and be liable under this Servicing Agreement for the servicing and
administering of the Securitized Utility Tariff 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 Securitized Utility Tariff 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 of the Securitized Utility Tariff Bonds. 

SECTION 6.11.    Remittances 

(a)    The Servicer shall remit Securitized Utility Tariff Charge Collections on each Servicer Business Day (the
“Daily Remittance”) as soon as reasonably practicable after collection to the General Subaccount of the Collection Account but in no event later than two Servicer Business Days following receipt of such Securitized Utility Tariff
Charge Collections. Prior to, or concurrently with, each remittance to the General Subaccount of the Collection Account pursuant to this Section 6.11, the Servicer shall provide written notice (which may be via electronic
means, including electronic mail) to the Indenture Trustee and, upon request, to the Issuer 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 Securitized Utility Tariff Collateral that it may receive from time to time. 

  
 25 












 (b)    The Servicer agrees and acknowledges that it holds all
Securitized Utility Tariff Charges collected by it and any other proceeds for the Securitized Utility Tariff 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 without any surcharge, fee, offset, charge or other deduction except for and interest earnings permitted by Section 6.06. The Servicer further agrees not to make any claim to reduce
its obligation to remit all Securitized Utility Tariff Charges collected by it in accordance with this Servicing Agreement. 

(c)    [Reserved.] 

(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, KGS agrees to continue, unless prevented by circumstances beyond its control, to operate its
gas service distribution system to provide service so long as it is acting as the Servicer under this Servicing Agreement. 

SECTION 6.13.    Protection of Title 

The Servicer shall cause to be executed and filed all filings, all in such manner and in such places as may be required by law fully to
preserve, maintain and protect the Issuer’s ownership interests in and the Indenture Trustee’s first priority lien and security interest on the Securitized Utility Tariff Property. The Servicer shall deliver (or cause to be delivered) to
the Issuer, and the Indenture Trustee file-stamped copies of, or filing receipts for, any document filed as provided above, as soon as available following such filing. 

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 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 KGS or an Affiliate thereof, any failure on
the part of KGS, as the case may be, duly to observe or to 

  
 26 












 
perform in any material respect any covenants or agreements of the Servicer or KGS, as the case may be, set forth in this Servicing Agreement (other than as provided in
Section 7.01(a) or Section 7.01(c)) 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 30 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 KGS, as the case may be, by the Issuer, the Commission (with a copy to
the Indenture Trustee) or to the Servicer or KGS, as the case may be, by the Indenture Trustee or (B) such failure is discovered by a Responsible Officer of the Servicer; or 

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

(d)    any representation or warranty made by the Servicer in this Servicing Agreement or any other 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 60 days after the date on which (i) 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 (with a copy of such notice being provided promptly upon receipt by the Servicer to the
Commission), or (ii) such failure is discovered by a Responsible Officer of the Servicer; or 
 (e)    an
Insolvency Event occurs with respect to the Servicer; 
 then, and in each and every case, so long as the Servicer Default shall not have been remedied, the
Indenture Trustee shall, upon the instruction of Holders evidencing a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Securitized Utility Tariff 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 Servicing Agreement. In addition, upon a Servicer Default described in Section 7.01(a), the Holders and the Indenture Trustee as
financing parties under the Securitization Law (or any of their representatives) shall be entitled to apply to the Commission or a court of appropriate jurisdiction for an order of sequestration and payment of revenues arising with respect to the
Securitized Utility Tariff Property. On or after the receipt by the Servicer of a Termination Notice, all authority and power of the Servicer under this Servicing Agreement, whether with respect to the Securitized Utility Tariff Bonds, the
Securitized Utility Tariff Property, the Securitized Utility Tariff 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 Securitized Utility Tariff 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
Servicing 

  
 27 












 
Agreement, including the transfer to the successor Servicer for administration by it of all Securitized Utility Tariff 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 Securitized Utility Tariff Property or the Securitized Utility Tariff Charges. As soon as practicable after receipt by the Servicer of such Termination
Notice, the Servicer shall deliver the Securitized Utility Tariff 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
attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred in connection with transferring the Securitized Utility Tariff Property Records to the successor Servicer and amending this Servicing 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 KGS as Servicer shall not terminate KGS’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 Servicing Agreement, the predecessor Servicer shall continue to perform its functions as Servicer under this Servicing 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 may at the written direction, and with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Securitized Utility Tariff Bonds or of the Commission shall 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, the Commission and the Rating Agencies. If within 30 days after the delivery of the Termination Notice, a new Servicer shall not have been appointed, the Indenture Trustee may at the direction of the
Holders of not less than a majority of the Securitized Utility Tariff Bonds, petition the Commission or a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint a successor Servicer under this Servicing Agreement. A Person shall qualify as a successor Servicer
only if (i) such Person is permitted under Commission Regulations to perform the duties of the Servicer, (ii) the Rating Agency Condition shall have been satisfied, (iii) such Person enters into a servicing agreement with the Issuer
having substantially the same provisions as this Servicing Agreement. 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. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Successor Servicer shall begin
providing service until (i) the date the Commission approves the appointment of the Successor Servicer or (ii) if the Commission does not act to either approve or disapprove the appointment within 30 days after notice of such proposed
appointment is given to the Commission. 
 (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 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 Servicing Agreement. 

  
 28 












 SECTION 7.03.    Waiver of Past Defaults.  

The Indenture Trustee, with the written consent of the Holders evidencing a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Securitized Utility
Tariff Bonds, may 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 Servicing
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 Servicing 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 and the Commission 

SECTION 7.04.    Notice of Servicer Default 

The Servicer shall deliver to the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the Commission and the Rating Agencies, promptly after having obtained
knowledge thereof, but in no event later than five Business Days thereafter, written notice of any event that, 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.

Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Securitized Utility Tariff
Property Servicing Agreement (the “Agreement”). 
 SECTION 2. INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE OF METERS. 

The Servicer shall cause to be installed, replaced and maintained meters in such places and in such condition as will enable the Servicer to
identify each Customer at least once every Billing Period. 
 SECTION 3. CUSTOMER CALCULATION. 

The Servicer shall identify each Customer and the number of Customers in each Customer Class at least once each Billing Period and include

 SECTION 4. BILLING. 

The Servicer shall bill the Securitized Utility Tariff Charges beginning as specified in the Financing Order and shall thereafter bill each

the following:
