ASSUMPTION AGREEMENT 

ASSUMPTION AGREEMENT dated as of April 9, 2018 (this “Assumption Agreement”), between VISTRA ENERGY CORP., a Delaware
corporation (the “New Borrower”) (as successor by merger to DYNEGY INC., a Delaware Corporation, “Dynegy”), and CREDIT SUISSE AG, CAYMAN ISLANDS BRANCH, (“Credit Suisse”), as
Administrative Agent (in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”) and as collateral trustee (in such capacity, the “Collateral Trustee”) for the First-Lien Secured Parties (as defined therein). 

WHEREAS, Dynegy, the lenders named therein (the “Lenders”), and Credit Suisse, as Administrative Agent (in such
capacity, the “Administrative Agent”) and Collateral Trustee for the Lenders are party to that certain Credit Agreement, dated as of April 23, 2013 (as amended, restated, amended and restated, replaced, supplemented and/or otherwise
modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”; capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein having the meanings assigned to such terms in the Credit Agreement); 

WHEREAS, pursuant to the agreement and plan of merger dated as of October 29, 2017 (the “Merger Agreement”),
between the New Borrower and Dynegy, Dynegy will merge with and into the New Borrower, with the New Borrower as the surviving entity of such merger; 

WHEREAS, Section 10.02 of the Credit Agreement provides that any Person formed by or surviving a consolidation or merger with the
Borrower (if other than the Borrower) shall assume all obligations of the Borrower under the Credit Documents pursuant to joinder agreements or other documents and agreements reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. 

WHEREAS, the New Borrower is executing and delivering this Assumption Agreement in accordance with the requirements of the Credit Agreement of
Section 10.02 of the Credit Agreement to become a Borrower under the Credit Agreement; 
 Accordingly, the New Borrower, the
Administrative Agent and Collateral Trustee agree as follows: 
 SECTION 1. In accordance with Section 10.02 of the Credit Agreement,
the New Borrower by its signature below becomes the “Borrower” under the Credit Agreement and each of the other Credit Documents with the same force and effect as if originally named therein as the Borrower and the New Borrower hereby
agrees to all the terms and provisions of the Credit Agreement and each of the other Credit Documents applicable to it as Borrower thereunder, agrees to be bound by the terms of the Credit Agreement, as the Borrower thereunder (including, without
limitation, the covenants set forth therein) and assumes all obligations (including without limitation, all payment obligations), rights and powers of a Borrower thereunder. Each reference to the “Borrower” in the Credit
Agreement and each of the other Credit Documents shall be deemed to include the New Borrower. The Credit Agreement is hereby incorporated herein by reference. 

SECTION 2. The New Borrower represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Trustee, the Lenders and the other First-Lien
Secured Parties that this Assumption Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by it and constitutes its 







 
legal, valid and binding obligation, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms except to the extent that enforceability thereof may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally or by general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law). 

SECTION 3. The New Borrower represents and warrants that immediately after giving effect to the merger of Dynegy with and into the New
Borrower, no Default or Event of Default exists and the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of the New Borrower is greater, after giving pro forma effect, to the merger of Dynegy with and into the New Borrower and any related financing transactions as if
the same had occurred at the beginning of the applicable Test Period than the Borrower’s actual Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for the period. 

SECTION 4. This Assumption Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by the different parties hereto on separate
counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all of which shall together constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of a counterpart via facsimile or other electronic transmission shall constitute
delivery of an original counterpart. A set of counterparts executed by all the parties hereto shall be lodged with the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Trustee. 

SECTION 5. This Assumption Agreement shall constitute notice for the purposes of and satisfy the obligation, with respect to the New Borrower,
under Section 4.03 of that certain Guarantee and Collateral Agreement, dated as of April 23, 2013 (as amended, restated, amended and restated, replaced supplemented and/or otherwise modified from time to time) among the New Borrower (as
successor by merger to Dynegy), each Restricted Subsidiary (as defined in the Credit Agreement) of the New Borrower from time to time party thereto and Credit Suisse as Collateral Trustee. 

SECTION 6. Except as expressly supplemented hereby, the Credit Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. 

SECTION 7. (a)    THIS ASSUMPTION AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENTS AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF
THE PARTIES HEREUNDER AND THEREUNDER SHALL, EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE PROVIDED IN ANY MORTGAGE, BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND BE GOVERNED BY THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICT OF LAWS TO THE EXTENT THAT
THE SAME ARE NOT MANDATORILY APPLICABLE BY STATUTE AND WOULD REQUIRE OR PERMIT THE APPLICATION OF THE LAW OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION. ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING WITH RESPECT TO THIS ASSUMPTION AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENTS MAY BE BROUGHT
IN THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK OR OF THE UNITED STATES FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK, IN EACH CASE WHICH ARE LOCATED IN THE COUNTY OF NEW YORK, AND, BY EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF THIS ASSUMPTION AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER CREDIT
DOCUMENTS, EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY ACCEPTS FOR ITSELF AND IN RESPECT OF ITS PROPERTY, GENERALLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY, THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE AFORESAID COURTS.

NOT TO PLEAD OR CLAIM IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING COMMENCED HEREUNDER OR ANY OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENT THAT SERVICE OF PROCESS WAS IN ANY WAY INVALID OR INEFFECTIVE. NOTHING HEREIN SHALL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF (i) ANY PARTY HERETO TO SERVE PROCESS IN
ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW OR (ii) THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, ANY LENDER OR THE HOLDER OF ANY NOTE TO COMMENCE LEGAL PROCEEDINGS OR OTHERWISE PROCEED AGAINST ANY GRANTOR IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION.

SECTION 8. In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Joinder should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any
respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein and therein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby (it being understood that the invalidity of a particular provision in a particular
jurisdiction shall not in and of itself affect the validity of such provision in any other jurisdiction). The parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the
economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.
