REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF SELLER 

As of the Closing Date, the Seller makes the following representations and warranties on which the Issuer has relied and will rely in
acquiring the Securitized Utility Tariff Property. The following representations and warranties are made under existing law as in effect as of the Closing Date. The Seller shall not be in breach of any representation or warranty herein as a result
of a change in law occurring after the Closing Date, including by means of legislative enactment, 

  
 3 













 
constitutional amendment or voter initiative. The representations and warranties shall survive the sale of the Securitized Utility Tariff Property to the Issuer and the pledge thereof on the
Closing Date to the Trustee pursuant to the Indenture. 
 Section 3.01    Organization and Good Standing.
The Seller is a corporation duly organized and in good standing under the laws of the State of Oklahoma, with corporate power and authority to own its properties and to conduct its business as currently owned or conducted. 

Section 3.02    Due Qualification. The Seller is duly qualified to do business as a foreign corporation 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 requires such qualifications, licenses or approvals (except where the failure to so
qualify or obtain such licenses and approvals would not be reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Seller’s business, operations, assets, revenues or properties). 

Section 3.03    Power and Authority. The Seller has the corporate power and authority to obtain the Financing
Order and to execute and deliver this Agreement and to carry out its terms; the Seller has the corporate power and authority to own the rights and interests under the Financing Order, and to sell and assign the rights and interests under the
Financing Order and in the Securitized Utility Tariff Property to the Issuer; and the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement have been duly authorized by the Seller by all necessary corporate action. 

Section 3.04    Binding Obligation. This Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the
Seller, enforceable against the Seller in accordance with its terms, subject to bankruptcy, receivership, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent transfer and other laws relating to or affecting creditors’ or secured parties’
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. 

Section 3.05    No Violation. The consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the
fulfillment of the terms hereof do not: (i) conflict with or result in any breach of any of the terms and provisions of, or constitute (with or without notice or lapse of time) a default under, the certificate of incorporation or by-laws of the Seller, each as amended to the date of this Agreement, or any indenture, mortgage, credit agreement or other agreement or instrument to which the Seller is a party or by which it or its properties is
bound; (ii) result in the creation or imposition of any Lien upon any of the Seller’s properties pursuant to the terms of any such indenture, agreement or other instrument (except for any Lien created by the Issuer under the Basic
Documents in favor of the Securitized Utility Tariff Bondholders and in accordance with K.S.A. §66-1,245); or (iii) violate any existing law or any existing order, rule or regulation applicable to
the Seller of any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Seller or its properties. 

Section 3.06    No Proceedings. Except as disclosed in the Issuer’s prospectus
dated            , 2022 relating to the Securitized Utility Tariff Bonds (the “Prospectus”), there are no proceedings pending and, to the Seller’s knowledge, (x) there
are no proceedings threatened and (y) there are no investigations pending or threatened before any Governmental Authority having 

  
 4 













 
jurisdiction over the Seller or its properties involving or relating to the Seller or the Issuer or, to the Seller’s knowledge, any other Person: 

(i)    asserting the invalidity of this Agreement, any of the other Basic Documents, the Securitized Utility Tariff Bonds,
the Securitization Act or the Financing Order; 
 (ii)    seeking to prevent the issuance of the Securitized Utility
Tariff Bonds or the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any of the other Basic Documents; 

(iii)    seeking any determination or ruling that could reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect the
performance by the Seller of its obligations under, or the validity or enforceability of, this Agreement, any of the other Basic Documents or the Securitized Utility Tariff Bonds; or 

(iv)    challenging the Seller’s treatment of the Securitized Utility Tariff Bonds as debt of the Seller for federal
or state income, gross receipts or franchise tax purposes. 
 Section 3.07    Approvals. Except for
continuation filings under the UCC and the Securitization Act, no approval, authorization, consent, order or other action of, or filing with, any Governmental Authority is required under an applicable law, rule or regulation in connection with the
execution and delivery by the Seller of this Agreement, the performance by the Seller of the transactions contemplated hereby or the fulfillment by the Seller of the terms hereof, except those that have been obtained or made and those that the
Seller, in its capacity as Servicer under the Servicing Agreement, is required to make in the future pursuant to the Servicing Agreement. 

Section 3.08    The Securitized Utility Tariff Property. 

(a)    Information. Subject to Section 3.16, all written information, as amended or supplemented from
time to time prior to the date this representation is made, provided by the Seller to the Issuer with respect to the Securitized Utility Tariff Property (including the Financing Order and the Issuance Advice Letter) is correct in all material
respects and does not omit any material facts required to be included therein and all historical data for the purpose of calculating the initial Securitized Utility Tariff Charges in the Issuance Advice Letter and the assumptions used for such
calculations are reasonable and such calculations were made in good faith. 
 (b)    Effect of Transfer.
It is the intention of the parties hereto that (other than for United States federal income tax purposes and, to the extent consistent with applicable state tax laws, state income and franchise tax purposes) the sale, transfer, assignment, setting
over and conveyance herein contemplated constitutes a sale or other absolute transfer of all right, title and interest of the Seller in and to the Securitized Utility Tariff Property from the Seller to the Issuer. Upon execution and delivery of this
Agreement and the Bill of Sale and payment of the Purchase Price, the Seller will have no right, title or interest in, to or under the Securitized Utility Tariff Property; and that such Securitized Utility Tariff Property would not be a part of the
estate of the Seller as debtor in the event of the filing of a 

  
 5 













 
bankruptcy petition by or against the Seller under any bankruptcy law. No portion of the Securitized Utility Tariff Property has been sold, transferred, assigned, pledged or otherwise conveyed by
the Seller to any person other than the Issuer, and, to the Seller’s knowledge, no security arrangement, financing statement or equivalent security or lien instrument listing the Seller, as debtor, and all or a portion of the Securitized
Utility Tariff Property, as collateral, is on file or of record in Kansas, except such as may have been filed or recorded in favor of the Issuer or the Trustee in connection with the Basic Documents. 

(c)    Transfer Filings. 

(i)    The Seller is the sole owner of all the rights and interests under the Financing Order to be sold to the Issuer on
the Closing Date. 
 (ii)    On the Closing Date, immediately upon the sale hereunder, the Securitized Utility Tariff
Property will have been validly sold, assigned, transferred, set over and conveyed to the Issuer free and clear of all Liens (except for any Lien created by the Issuer under the Basic Documents in favor of the Securitized Utility Tariff Bondholders
and in accordance with K.S.A. §66-1,245). 
 (iii)    All actions or
filings (including filings with the Kansas Secretary of State in accordance with the rules prescribed under the Securitization Act) necessary in any jurisdiction to give the Issuer a perfected ownership interest (subject to any Lien created by the
Issuer under the Basic Documents in favor of the Securitized Utility Tariff Bondholders and in accordance with K.S.A. §66-1,245) in the Securitized Utility Tariff Property and to grant to the Trustee a
first priority perfected security interest in the Securitized Utility Tariff Property, free and clear of all Liens of the Seller or anyone else (except for any Lien created by the Issuer under the Basic Documents in favor of the Securitized Utility
Tariff Bondholders and in accordance with K.S.A. §66-1,245), have been taken or made. 

Section 3.09    Solvency. After giving effect to the sale of the Securitized Utility Tariff Property
hereunder, the Seller: 
 (i)    is solvent and expects to remain solvent, 

(ii)    is adequately capitalized to conduct its business and affairs considering its size and the nature of its business
and intended purposes, 
 (iii)    is not engaged and does not expect to engage in a business for which its remaining
property represents an unreasonably small portion of its capital, 
 (iv)    reasonably believes that it will be able to
pay its debts as they come due, and 
 (v)    is able to pay its debts as they come due and does not intend to incur, or
believes that it will incur, indebtedness that it will not be able to repay at its maturity. 

  
 6 













 Section 3.10    The Financing Order. 

(a)    The Financing Order was issued by the Kansas Commission on August 18, 2022 in accordance with
the Securitization Act; the Financing Order and the process by which it was issued comply with all applicable laws, rules and regulations of the State of Kansas and the federal laws of the United States, and the Financing Order is final, non-appealable and in full force and effect. 
 (b)    As of the date
of issuance of the Securitized Utility Tariff Bonds, the Securitized Utility Tariff Bonds will be entitled to the protections provided by the Securitization Act and the Financing Order, the Issuance Advice Letter and the Securitized Utility Tariff
Charges authorized therein will have become irrevocable and not subject to reduction, impairment or adjustment by further action of the Kansas Commission, except for changes made pursuant to the adjustment mechanism authorized under the
Securitization Act, and the Issuance Advice Letter and the Securitized Utility Tariff have been filed in accordance with the Financing Order. The Issuance Advice Letter have been filed in accordance with the Financing Order. The initial Securitized
Utility Tariff Charges and the final terms of the Securitized Utility Tariff Bonds set forth in the Issuance Advice Letter have become effective. No other approval, authorization, consent, order or other action of, or filing with any Governmental
Authority is required in connection with the creation of the Securitized Utility Tariff Property transferred on such date, except those that have been obtained or made. 

Section 3.11    State Action. 

(a)    Under K.S.A. §66-1,252(a), the State of Kansas has
pledged that it will not take any action listed in such section or, except for changes made pursuant to the adjustment mechanism authorized under the Securitization Act, reduce, alter or impair the Securitized Utility Tariff Charges until the
principal, interest and premium, if any, and any other charges incurred and contracts to be performed in connection with the Securitized Utility Tariff Bonds, have been paid and performed in full. 

(b)    Under the laws of the State of Kansas and the federal laws of the United States, a reviewing court
of competent jurisdiction would hold that (x) the State of Kansas could not constitutionally take any action of a legislative character, including the repeal or amendment of the Securitization Act, which would substantially limit, alter or
impair the Securitized Utility Tariff Property or other rights vested in the Securitized Utility Tariff Bondholders pursuant to the Financing Order, or substantially limit, alter, impair or reduce the value or amount of the Securitized Utility
Tariff Property, unless such action is a reasonable and necessary exercise of the State of Kansas’s sovereign powers based on reasonable conditions and of a character reasonable and appropriate to the emergency or other significant and
legitimate public purpose justifying such action, and, (y) under the takings clauses of the State of Kansas and United States Constitutions, if the court concludes that the Securitized Utility Tariff Property is protected by the takings
clauses, the State of Kansas could not repeal or amend the Securitization Act or take any other action in contravention of its pledge referred to in subsection (a) above without paying just compensation to the Securitized Utility Tariff
Bondholders, as determined by a court of 

  
 7 













 
competent jurisdiction, if doing so would constitute a permanent appropriation of a substantial property interest of the Securitized Utility Tariff Bondholders in the Securitized Utility Tariff
Property and deprive the Securitized Utility Tariff Bondholders of their reasonable expectations arising from their investments in the Securitized Utility Tariff Bonds; however, there is no assurance that, even if a court were to award just
compensation, it would be sufficient to pay the full amount of principal of and interest on the Securitized Utility Tariff Bonds. 

(c)    Under the laws of the State of Kansas and the United States Constitution, a Kansas state court
reviewing an appeal of Kansas Commission action of a legislative character would conclude that the Kansas Commission Pledge (i) creates a binding contractual obligation of the State of Kansas for purposes of the contract clauses of the United
States Constitution, and (ii) provides a basis upon which the Securitized Utility Tariff Bondholders could challenge successfully any action of the Kansas Commission of a legislative character, including the rescission or amendment of the
Financing Order, that such court determines violates the Kansas Commission Pledge in a manner that substantially reduces, limits or impairs the value of the Securitized Utility Tariff Property or the Securitized Utility Tariff Charges, prior to the
time that the Securitized Utility Tariff Bonds are paid in full and discharged, unless there is a judicial finding that the Kansas Commission action clearly is exercised for a public end and is reasonably necessary to the accomplishment of that
public end so as not to be arbitrary, capricious or an abuse of authority. There is no assurance, however, that, even if a court were to award just compensation it would be sufficient to pay the full amount of principal and interest on the
Securitized Utility Tariff Bonds. 
 Section 3.12    No Court Order. There is no order by any court
providing for the revocation, alteration, limitation or other impairment of the Securitization Act, the Financing Order, the Issuance Advice Letter, the Securitized Utility Tariff Property or the Securitized Utility Tariff Charges or any rights
arising under any of them or that seeks to enjoin the performance of any obligations under the Financing Order. 

Section 3.13    Approvals Concerning the Securitized Utility Tariff Property. Under the laws of the State of
Kansas and the federal laws of the United States, no other approval, authorization, consent, order or other action of, or filing with any Governmental Authority is required in connection with the creation or transfer of the Seller’s rights and
interests under the Financing Order and the Issuer’s purchase of the Securitized Utility Tariff Property from the Seller, except those that have been obtained or made. 

Section 3.14    No Right of Kansas Voters to Act by Initiative or Referendum. Apart from amending the
Constitution of the State of Kansas, the citizens of the State of Kansas currently do not have the constitutional right to adopt or revise state laws by initiative or referendum. 

Section 3.15    Tax Liens. The Seller is not aware of any judgment or tax Lien filings against the Issuer or
the Seller that would result in a Lien on the Securitized Utility Tariff Property. 

Section 3.16    Assumptions. Based on information available to the Seller on the date hereof, the assumptions
used in calculating the Securitized Utility Tariff Charges in the Issuance Advice Letter are reasonable and made in good faith; however, notwithstanding the foregoing, 

  
 8 













 
THE SELLER MAKES NO REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, THAT BILLED SECURITIZED UTILITY TARIFF CHARGES WILL BE ACTUALLY COLLECTED FROM CUSTOMERS, OR THAT AMOUNTS ACTUALLY COLLECTED
ARISING FROM THE SECURITIZED UTILITY TARIFF CHARGES WILL IN FACT BE SUFFICIENT TO MEET THE PAYMENT OBLIGATIONS ON THE SECURITIZED UTILITY TARIFF BONDS OR THAT THE ASSUMPTIONS USED IN CALCULATING SUCH SECURITIZED UTILITY TARIFF CHARGES WILL IN FACT
BE REALIZED. 
 Section 3.17    Creation of the Securitized Utility Tariff Property. 

(a)    Upon the effectiveness of the Financing Order, the transfer of the Seller’s rights and
interests under the Financing Order related to the Securitized Utility Tariff Bonds and the Issuer’s purchase of the Securitized Utility Tariff Property from the Seller pursuant to this Agreement, the Securitized Utility Tariff Property will
constitute a present contract right vested in the Issuer. 
 (b)    Upon the effectiveness of the
Financing Order, the Issuance Advice Letter and the Securitized Utility Tariff, the transfer of the Seller’s rights and interests under the Financing Order and the Issuer’s purchase of the Securitized Utility Tariff Property from the
Seller pursuant to this Agreement, the Securitized Utility Tariff Property includes: 
  

	 	i	 the right to impose, bill, charge, collect and receive the Securitized Utility Tariff Charges, including the

Documents.

(A) affirmatively certify and confirm that it has sold all of its rights and interests in and to the Securitized Utility Tariff Property to the Issuer (other than for financial reporting or tax purposes), and (B) not make any statement or
reference in respect of the Securitized Utility Tariff Property that is inconsistent with the ownership thereof by the Issuer (other than for financial reporting or tax purposes);

capacity as the Servicer thereof pursuant to the Servicing Agreement or as contemplated by the Basic Documents;

with the treatment of the Issuer, for purposes of federal taxes and, to the extent consistent with applicable state, local and other tax law, for purposes of state, local and other taxes, as a disregarded entity that is not separate from the Seller
(or, if relevant, from another sole owner of the Issuer); and 
 (iv)    if the Seller enters into a sale agreement
selling to any other affiliate property consisting of nonbypassable charges payable by the Seller’s retail customers comparable to those sold by the Seller pursuant to this Agreement, the Rating Agency Condition shall be satisfied with respect
to the Securitized Utility Tariff Bonds prior to or coincident with such sale and the Seller shall enter into an intercreditor agreement with the Issuer, the Trustee, the issuing entity of such additional bonds and the indenture trustee for such
additional bonds; and 
 (v)    neither the Seller nor a subsidiary of the Seller shall issue any bonds similar to the

Seller’s retail customers in respect of the transferred Securitized Utility Tariff Property, notwithstanding any objection or direction 

  
 12 













 
to the contrary by the Seller (and the Seller agrees not to make any such objection or to take any such contrary action), and any payment to the Servicer by any Person responsible for remitting
Securitized Utility Tariff Charges to the Servicer under the terms of the Financing Order or the Securitization Act or the Securitized Utility Tariff shall discharge such Person’s obligations in respect of the Securitized Utility Tariff

The Seller shall deliver (or cause to be delivered) to the Issuer and the Trustee file-stamped copies of, or filing receipts for, any document filed as provided above, as soon as available following such filing. The Seller shall institute any action
or proceeding reasonably necessary to compel performance by the Kansas Commission or the State of Kansas of any of their obligations or duties under the Securitization Act, the Financing Order or the Issuance Advice Letter relating to the transfer
of the rights and interests under the Financing Order by the Seller to the Issuer and shall notify the Trustee of the institution of any such action. The Seller agrees to take such legal or administrative actions, including defending against or
instituting and pursuing legal actions and appearing or testifying at hearings or similar proceedings, in each case as may be reasonably necessary: 

(a)    to protect the Issuer and the Securitized Utility Tariff Bondholders from claims, state actions or
other actions or proceedings of third parties which, if successfully pursued, would result in a breach of any representation set forth in Article III; or 

(b)    so long as the Seller is also the Servicer, to block or overturn any attempts to cause a repeal of,
modification of or supplement to the Securitization Act, the Financing Order, the Issuance Advice Letter or the rights of Securitized Utility Tariff Bondholders by legislative enactment (including any action of the Kansas Commission of a legislative
character) or constitutional amendment that would be materially adverse to the Issuer, the Trustee or the Securitized Utility Tariff Bondholders. 
 The
costs of any such actions or proceedings shall be reimbursed by the Issuer to the Seller from amounts on deposit in the Collection Account as an Operating Expense (as such terms are defined in the Indenture) in accordance with the terms of the
Indenture. The Seller’s obligations pursuant to this Section 4.08 shall survive and continue notwithstanding that the payment of Operating Expenses pursuant to the Indenture may be delayed (it being understood that the Seller may be
required to advance its own funds to satisfy its obligation hereunder). The Seller designates the Issuer as its agent and attorney-in-fact to execute any filings of
financing statements, continuation statements or other instruments required of the Seller pursuant to this Section 4.08, it being understood that the Issuer shall have no obligation to execute any such instruments. 

Section 4.09    Taxes. So long as any of the Securitized Utility Tariff Bonds are outstanding, the Seller
shall pay all material taxes, assessments and governmental charges imposed upon it or any of its properties or assets or with respect to any of its franchises, businesses, income 

  
 13 













 
or property before any penalty accrues thereon if the failure to pay any such taxes, assessments and governmental charges would, after any applicable grace periods, notices or other similar
requirements, result in a Lien on the Securitized Utility Tariff Property; provided that no such tax need be paid if the Seller or any of its Affiliates is contesting the same in good faith by appropriate proceedings promptly instituted and
diligently conducted and if the Seller or such Affiliate has established appropriate reserves as shall be required in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

promptly notify the Issuer, the Trustee and the Rating Agencies of such breach. For the avoidance of doubt, any breach which would adversely affect scheduled payments on the Securitized Utility Tariff Bonds will be deemed to be a material breach for
purposes of this Section 4.13.

the Issuer, the Seller shall execute and deliver such further instruments and do such further acts as may be reasonably necessary to carry out more effectually the provisions and purposes of this Agreement.
