	 	(b)	The execution and delivery by the Company of this Second Amendment and the performance under this Second Amendment and the Agreement, as amended hereby, do not (i) contravene, result in any breach of, or constitute

company agreement, or any other agreement or instrument to which the Company is bound or by which the Company or any of its properties may be bound or affected, (ii) conflict with or result in a breach of any of the terms, conditions or

SECTION 1. AUTHORIZATION OF NOTES. 
 The

indirectly, for the purpose of buying or carrying any margin stock within the meaning of Regulation U of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (12 CFR 221), or for the purpose of buying or carrying or trading in any securities under

sinking funds, installment payments or maturities of the Indebtedness of the Company, a Member, New Owner or New Operator. None of the Company, a Member, New Owner or New Operator is in default and no waiver of default is currently in effect, in the
payment of any principal or interest on any of its Indebtedness and no event or condition exists with respect to any of its Indebtedness that would permit (or that with notice or the lapse of time, or both, would permit) one or more Persons to cause
such Indebtedness to become due and payable before its stated maturity or before its regularly scheduled dates of payment. 
 (b) The
Company has not agreed or consented to cause or permit in the future (upon the happening of a contingency or otherwise) any of its property, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, to be subject to a Lien not otherwise permitted by
Section 10.5. 
 (c) The Company is not a party to, nor otherwise subject to any provision contained in, any instrument
evidencing Indebtedness of the Company, any agreement relating thereto or any other agreement (including, but not limited to, its charter or other organizational document) which limits the amount of, or otherwise imposes restrictions on the
incurring of, Indebtedness of the Company, other than the 2009 Note Agreement and the RBC Agreement. 
 Section 5.17 Foreign Assets
Control Regulations, Etc. (a) Neither the sale of the Notes by the Company hereunder nor the use of the proceeds thereof will violate the Trading with the Enemy Act, as amended, or any of the foreign assets control regulations of the United
States Treasury Department (31 CFR, Subtitle B, Chapter V, as amended) or any enabling legislation or executive order relating thereto. 

(b) None of the Company, the Members, New Owner or New Operator: (i) is a Person described or designated in the Specially Designated
Nationals and Blocked Persons List of the Office of Foreign Assets Control or in Section 1 of the Anti-Terrorism Order or (ii) engages in any dealings or transactions with any such Person. The Company, each Member, New Owner and New
Operator is in compliance, in all material respects, with the USA Patriot Act. 
 (c) No part of the proceeds from the sale of the Notes
hereunder will be used, directly or indirectly, for any payments to any governmental official or employee, political party, official of a political party, candidate for political office, or anyone else acting in an official capacity, in order to
obtain, retain or direct business or obtain any improper advantage, in violation of the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended, assuming in all cases that such Act applies to the Company and the Members.

 SCHEDULE
A-12 
 (To Note Purchase Agreement) 

 (b) Neither the Company nor either Member is a “public utility” under the FPA and the
regulations of FERC thereunder. The execution, delivery and performance of the Company’s and Sharyland’s obligations under the Transaction Documents requires no authorization of approval by, or notice to, and is not subject to the
jurisdiction of, FERC under the FPA. 
 (c) Sharyland and the holding company system of which it is a part have obtained a waiver of the
requirements of 18 C.F.R. 366.21, 366.22 and 366.23 (FERC Docket No. PH06-59-000), but are subject to the FERC regulations relating to regulatory access to books and records. Sharyland and the holding company system of which it is a part have filed
a notice of holding company status under FERC Docket No. HC06-1-000 and may be required to submit a revised notice of holding company status and/or a revised request for the waiver described in the preceding sentence as a result of the transactions
contemplated in the Transaction Documents or in Schedule 10.1. Under FERC’s currently effective regulations, the Company will be deemed not to be a “public-utility company” and as a result TDC is not a “holding
company” under PUHCA; as a result of the Cap Rock Transactions, Sharyland will become a “holding company” under PUHCA. 
 (d)
The Company is subject to regulation as an “electric utility” by the Public Utility Commission of Texas. The execution, delivery and performance of the Company’s and Sharyland’s obligations under the Transaction Documents
requires no authorization or approval by, or notice to, the Public Utility Commission of Texas or under the Public Utility Regulatory Act of Texas other than those that have been obtained. 

(e) Solely by virtue of the execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Documents, no Purchaser will become subject to any of the

Section 5.19 Environmental Matters. (a) The Company has no knowledge of any claims nor has it received any notice of any
claim, and no proceeding has been instituted raising any claim against the Company, a Member, New Owner or New Operator or any of their real properties now or formerly owned, leased or operated by any of them or other assets, alleging any damage to

Section 8.3 Allocation of Partial Prepayments. In the case of each partial prepayment of the Notes, the principal amount of

principal amount of each Note to be prepaid shall mature and become due and payable on the date fixed for such prepayment (which shall be a Business Day), together with interest on such principal amount accrued to such date and the applicable
Yield-Maintenance Amount, if any. From and after such date, unless the Company shall fail to pay such principal amount when so due and payable, together with the interest and Yield-Maintenance Amount, if any, as aforesaid, interest on such principal

 Section 8.6 Yield-Maintenance Amount. 

“Yield-Maintenance Amount” means, with respect to any Note, an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the
Discounted Value of the Remaining Scheduled Payments with respect to the Called Principal of such Note over the amount of such Called Principal, provided that the Yield-Maintenance Amount may in no event be less than zero. For the purposes of
determining the Yield-Maintenance Amount, the following terms have the following meanings: 
 “Called
Principal” means, with respect to any Note, the principal of such Note that is to be prepaid pursuant to Section 8.2 or has become or is declared to be immediately due and payable pursuant to
Section 12.1, as the context requires. 
 “Discounted Value” means, with respect to the
Called Principal of any Note, the amount obtained by discounting all Remaining Scheduled Payments with respect to such Called Principal from their respective scheduled due dates to the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal, in
accordance with accepted financial practice and at a discount factor (applied on the same periodic basis as that on which interest on the Notes is payable) equal to the Reinvestment Yield with respect to such Called Principal. 

“Reinvestment Yield” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Note, 0.50% over the yield to maturity
implied by (i) the yields reported as of 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the second Business Day preceding the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal, on the display designated as “Page PX1” (or such other display as
may replace Page PX1) on Bloomberg Financial Markets for the most recently issued actively traded on the run U.S. Treasury securities having a maturity equal to the Remaining Average Life of such Called Principal as of such Settlement Date, or
(ii) if such yields are not reported as of such time or the yields reported as of such time are not ascertainable (including by way of interpolation), the Treasury Constant Maturity Series Yields reported, for the latest day for which such
yields have been so reported as of the second Business Day preceding the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal, in Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15 (or any comparable successor publication) for U.S. Treasury securities having
a constant maturity equal to the Remaining Average Life of such Called Principal as of such Settlement Date. 
 In the case of each
determination under clause (i) or clause (ii), as the case may be, of the preceding paragraph, such implied yield will be determined, if necessary, by (a) converting U.S. Treasury bill quotations to bond equivalent yields in accordance
with accepted financial practice and (b) interpolating linearly between (1) the applicable U.S. Treasury security with the maturity closest to and greater than such Remaining Average Life and (2) the applicable U.S. Treasury security
with the maturity closest to and less than such Remaining Average Life. The Reinvestment Yield shall be rounded to the number of decimal places as appears in the interest rate of the applicable Note. 

“Remaining Average Life” means, with respect to any Called Principal, the number of years (calculated to the
nearest one-twelfth year) obtained by dividing (i) such Called Principal into (ii) the sum of the products obtained by multiplying (a) the principal component of each Remaining Scheduled Payment with respect to such Called Principal
by (b) the number of years (calculated to the nearest one-twelfth year) that will elapse between the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal and the scheduled due date of such Remaining Scheduled Payment. 

  
 SCHEDULE
A-22 
 (To Note Purchase Agreement) 

 “Remaining Scheduled Payments” means, with respect to the Called
Principal of any Note, all payments of such Called Principal and interest thereon that would be due after the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal if no payment of such Called Principal were made prior to its scheduled due date,
provided that if such Settlement Date is not a date on which interest payments are due to be made under the terms of the Notes, then the amount of the next succeeding scheduled interest payment will be reduced by the amount of interest accrued to
such Settlement Date and required to be paid on such Settlement Date pursuant to Section 8.2 or 12.1. 

“Settlement Date” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Note, the date on which such Called
Principal is to be prepaid pursuant to Section 8.2 or has become or is declared to be immediately due and payable pursuant to Section 12.1, as the context requires. 

SECTION 9. AFFIRMATIVE COVENANTS. 
 The
Company covenants that so long as any of the Notes are outstanding: 
 Section 9.1 Compliance with Law. Without limiting
Section 10.4, the Company will, and will cause its Subsidiaries, including New Owner, to comply with all laws, ordinances or governmental rules or regulations to which it is subject, including, without limitation, ERISA, the USA
Patriot Act and Environmental Laws, and will obtain and maintain in effect all licenses, certificates, permits, franchises and other governmental authorizations necessary to the ownership of its properties or to the conduct of its businesses to the
extent necessary to ensure that non-compliance with such laws, ordinances or governmental rules or regulations or failures to obtain or maintain in effect such licenses, certificates, permits, franchises and other governmental authorizations could
not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 
 Section 9.2
Insurance. The Company will maintain or cause to be maintained and will cause its Subsidiaries, including New Owner, to maintain, with financially sound and reputable insurers, insurance with respect to their respective properties and
businesses against such casualties and contingencies, of such types, on such terms and in such amounts (including deductibles, co-insurance and self-insurance, if adequate reserves are maintained with respect thereto) as is customary in the case of
entities of established reputations engaged in the same or a similar business and similarly situated, but in no event less than the insurance set forth in this Section 9.2 and Schedule 9.2.  

(a) Insurance by the Company: The Company shall procure at its own expense and maintain in full force and effect at all times
throughout the term of this Note Purchase Agreement insurance policies with insurance companies rated A-, 9 or higher by A.M. Best, or acceptable to the Required Holders if not so rated, and authorized to do business in the State of Texas. 

  
 SCHEDULE
A-23

 (b) Amendment of Requirements: The Required Holders may at any time amend the requirements
and approved insurance companies described in this Section 9.2 or Schedule 9.2 due to (i) new information not previously known by the Purchasers prior to the Closing Date or (ii) changed circumstances after Closing Date,
in which in the reasonable judgment of the Required Holders either renders a required coverage to be materially inadequate or materially reduces the financial ability of the approved insurance companies to pay claims. 

(c) Evidence of Insurance: On the Closing Date and on any anniversary thereafter, if so requested by a Holder or the Collateral Agent,
the Company shall furnish the Holders and the Collateral Agent with approved certification of all required insurance. Such certification shall be executed by each insurer or by an authorized representative of each insurer where it is not practical
for such insurer to execute the certificate itself. Such certification shall identify underwriters, the type of insurance, the insurance limits, and the policy term, and shall specifically list the special provisions enumerated for such insurance
required by this Section 9.2. Upon request, the Company will promptly furnish the Holders and the Collateral Agent with copies of all insurance certificates, binders, and cover notes or other evidence of such insurance relating to
the Collateral. 
 (d) Insurance Report: Concurrently with the furnishing of the certification referred to in
Section 9.2(c) and on an annual basis thereafter, the Company shall furnish the Holders with a certificate, signed by a Responsible Officer of the Company, stating that all premiums then due have been paid and that the insurance then
carried or to be renewed is in accordance with the terms of this Section 9.2. and Schedule 9.2.  
 (e)
Failure to Maintain Insurance: In the event the Company fails to take out or maintain the full insurance coverage required by this Section 9.2 and Schedule 9.2, the Required Holders, upon thirty (30) days’ prior
notice (unless the aforementioned insurance would lapse within such period, in which event notice should be given as soon as reasonably possible) to the Company of any such failure, may (but shall not be obligated to) take out (or cause the
Collateral Agent to take out) the required policies of insurance and pay the premiums on the same. All amounts so advanced thereof by the Holders (or the Collateral Agent) shall become an additional obligation of the Company to the Holders (or the
Collateral Agent), and the Company shall forthwith pay such amounts to the Holders (or the Collateral Agent). 
 (f) No Duty of Purchaser
to Verify: No provision of this Section 9.2 or Schedule 9.2 or any other provision of this Agreement, any other Financing Document or any Material Project Document shall impose on the Holders or the Collateral Agent any duty
or obligation to verify the existence or adequacy of the insurance coverage maintained by the Company, nor shall the Holders or the Collateral Agent be responsible for any representations or warranties made by or on behalf of the Company to any
insurance company or underwriter. 
 Section 9.3 Maintenance of Properties. The Company will, and will cause its
Subsidiaries, including New Owner, to, maintain and keep, or cause to be maintained and kept, their respective properties in good repair, working order and condition (other than ordinary wear and tear), so that the business carried on in connection

 SECTION 12. REMEDIES ON DEFAULT, ETC. 

Section 12.1 Acceleration. (a) If an Event of Default with respect to the Company described in
Section 11(j) or (k) (other than an Event of Default described in clause (i) of Section 11(j) or described in clause (vi) of Section 11(j) by virtue of the fact that such clause encompasses
clause (i) of Section 11(j)) has occurred, all the Notes then outstanding shall automatically become immediately due and payable. 

(b) If any other Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any Holder or Holders of more than 51% in principal amount of the Notes at
the time outstanding may at any time at its or their option, by notice or notices to the Company, declare all the Notes then outstanding to be immediately due and payable. 

(c) If any Event of Default described in Section 11(a) or (b) has occurred and is continuing, any Holder or Holders of
Notes at the time outstanding affected by such Event of Default may at any time, at its or their option, by notice or notices to the Company, declare all the Notes held by it or them to be immediately due and payable. 

Upon any Notes becoming due and payable under this Section 12.1, whether automatically or by declaration, such Notes will forthwith mature
and the entire unpaid principal amount of such Notes, plus (x) all accrued and unpaid interest thereon (including, but not limited to, interest accrued thereon at the Default Rate) and (y) the Yield-Maintenance Amount determined in respect
of such principal amount (to the full extent permitted by applicable law), shall all be immediately due and payable, in each and every case without presentment, demand, protest or further notice, all of which are hereby waived. The Company
acknowledges, and the parties hereto agree, that each Holder of a Note has the right to maintain its investment in the Notes free from repayment by the Company (except as herein specifically provided for) and that the provision for payment of a
Yield-Maintenance Amount by the Company in the event that the Notes are prepaid or are accelerated as a result of an Event of Default, is intended to provide compensation for the deprivation of such right under such circumstances. 

Section 12.2 Other Remedies. If any Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and irrespective of whether
any Notes have become or have been declared immediately due and payable under Section 12.1, the Holder of any Note at the time outstanding may proceed to protect and enforce the rights of such Holder by an action at law, suit in
equity or other appropriate proceeding, whether for the specific performance of any agreement contained herein or in any Note, or for an injunction against a violation of any of the terms hereof or thereof, or in aid of the exercise of any power
granted hereby or thereby or by law or otherwise. 
 Section 12.3 Rescission. At any time after any Notes have been
declared due and payable pursuant to Section 12.1(b) or (c), the Holders of not less than 51% in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, by written notice to the Company, may rescind and annul any such declaration and its
consequences if (a) the Company has paid all overdue interest on the Notes, all principal of and Yield-Maintenance Amount, if any, on any Notes that are due and payable and are unpaid other than by reason of such declaration, and all interest
on such overdue principal and Yield-Maintenance Amount, if any, and (to the extent permitted by applicable law) any overdue interest in respect of the Notes, at the Default Rate, (b) neither the Company nor any

other Person shall have paid any amounts which have become due solely by reason of such declaration, (c) all Events of Default and Defaults, other than non-payment of amounts that have
become due solely by reason of such declaration, have been cured or have been waived pursuant to Section 17, and (d) no judgment or decree has been entered for the payment of any monies due pursuant hereto or to the Notes. No
rescission and annulment under this Section 12.3 will extend to or affect any subsequent Event of Default or Default or impair any right consequent thereon. 

Section 12.4 No Waivers or Election of Remedies, Expenses, Etc. No course of dealing and no delay on the part of any Holder
of any Note in exercising any right, power or remedy shall operate as a waiver thereof or otherwise prejudice such Holder’s rights, powers or remedies. No right, power or remedy conferred by this Agreement or by any Note upon any Holder thereof
shall be exclusive of any other right, power or remedy referred to herein or therein or now or hereafter available at law, in equity, by statute or otherwise. Without limiting the obligations of the Company under Section 15, the
Company will pay to the Holder of each Note on demand such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover all costs and expenses of such Holder incurred in any enforcement or collection under this Section 12, including, without
limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, expenses and disbursements. 
 SECTION 13. REGISTRATION; EXCHANGE; SUBSTITUTION OF NOTES. 

Section 13.1 Registration of Notes. The Company shall keep at its principal executive office a register for the registration

for registration of transfer, the Person in whose name any Note shall be registered shall be deemed and treated as the owner and Holder thereof for all purposes hereof, and the Company shall not be affected by any notice or knowledge to the
contrary. The Company shall give to any Holder of a Note that is an Institutional Investor, promptly upon request therefor, a complete and correct copy of the names and addresses of all registered Holders of Notes. In addition to and not in
limitation of any representations contained herein, each Holder acknowledges and agrees that the Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act and may not be transferred except pursuant to registration or an exemption therefrom and in
compliance with Section 13.2(b) hereof. 
 Section 13.2 Transfer and Exchange of Notes. (a) Subject to
compliance with Section 13.2(b), upon surrender of any Note to the Company at the address and to the attention of the designated officer (all as specified in Section 18(iii)), for registration of transfer or exchange (and in the
case of a surrender for registration of transfer accompanied by a written instrument of transfer duly executed by the registered Holder of such Note or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing and accompanied by the relevant name,
address and other information for notices of each transferee of such Note or part thereof), within ten Business Days thereafter, the Company shall execute and deliver, at the Company’s expense (except as provided below), one or more new Notes
(as requested by the Holder thereof) in exchange therefor, in an aggregate principal amount equal to the unpaid principal amount of the surrendered Note. Each such new Note shall be payable to such Person as such Holder may request and shall be

 SCHEDULE
A-38

sum sufficient to cover any stamp tax or governmental charge imposed in respect of any such transfer of Notes. Notes shall not be transferred in denominations of less than $1,000,000, provided that if necessary to enable the registration of transfer
by a Holder of its entire holding of Notes, one Note may be in a denomination of less than $1,000,000. Any transferee, by its acceptance of a Note registered in its name (or the name of its nominee), shall be deemed to have made the representations
set forth in Section 6.1 and Section 6.2.  
 (b) Each Holder hereby agrees that it will not offer for sale
or sell any of its Notes or disclose any Confidential Information to any prospective transferee of the Notes, other than to an Affiliate, or to another Holder without first delivering written notice to the Company (a “Right of First Offer
Notice”) of its intent to sell such Notes and disclose such Confidential Information. Such Right of First Offer Notice shall contain a reasonably detailed description of the proposed terms of such sale, including, without limitation, the
proposed purchase price (the “Proposed Purchase Price”) for such Notes and the names of up to ten prospective purchasers. If the Company so desires it may, within 5 Business Days of the receipt of such Right of First Offer Notice,
inform such Holder in writing of its intent to purchase, or have an Affiliate or Institutional Investor designated by the Company purchase, such Notes (a “Purchase Notice”) from the Holder delivering such Right of First Offer Notice
at the Proposed Purchase Price, provided, however, that if at such time a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Company shall not purchase, and shall not allow any Affiliate or Institutional Investor designated by
the Company to purchase, the Notes of the Holder delivering such Right of First Offer Notice. The aggregate principal amount of the Notes specified in such Purchase Notice shall be purchased by the Company, or such Affiliate or Institutional
Investor, for the Proposed Purchase Price, together with accrued interest on such Notes to the purchase date, on the date specified by the Company in such Purchase Notice, which shall be not more than 30 days following delivery of such Purchase
Notice. If a Holder does not receive a Purchase Notice from the Company within 5 Business Days after the delivery of a Right of First Offer Notice to the Company, such Holder shall have the right to sell its Notes identified in such Right of First
Offer Notice to one or more of the prospective purchasers identified in such Right of First Offer Notice for a price which is not less than the Proposed Purchase Price identified in such Right of First Offer Notice for a period of 120 days from the
date of such Right of First Offer Notice. In the event that the prospective purchasers identified by a Holder in a Right of First Offer Notice shall decline to purchase the Notes within such 120 day period, then the Holder may identify up to 10
additional Institutional Investors through a new Right of First Offer Notice. 
 Section 13.3 Replacement of Notes. Upon
receipt by the Company at the address and to the attention of the designated officer (all as specified in Section 18(iii)) of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the ownership of and the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of
any Note (which evidence shall be, in the case of an Institutional Investor, notice from such Institutional Investor of such ownership and such loss, theft, destruction or mutilation), and 

(a) in the case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it (provided that if the Holder of such Note is, or is
a nominee for, an original Purchaser or another Holder of a Note with a minimum net worth of at least $100,000,000 or a Qualified Institutional Buyer, such Person’s own unsecured agreement of indemnity shall be deemed to be satisfactory), or

  
 SCHEDULE

 (To Note Purchase Agreement) 

 (b) in the case of mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation thereof, 

within ten Business Days thereafter, the Company at its own expense shall execute and deliver, in lieu thereof, a new Note, dated and bearing interest from
the date to which interest shall have been paid on such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Note or dated the date of such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Note if no interest shall have been paid thereon.

Section 14.2 Home Office Payment. So long as any Purchaser or its nominee shall be the Holder of any Note, and
notwithstanding anything contained in Section 14.1 or in such Note to the contrary, the Company will pay all sums becoming due on such Note for principal, Yield-Maintenance Amount, if any, and interest by the method and at the address
specified for such purpose below such Purchaser’s name in Schedule A, or by such other method or at such other address as such Purchaser shall have from time to time specified to the Company in writing for such purpose, without
the presentation or surrender of such Note or the making of any notation thereon, except that upon written request of the Company made concurrently with or reasonably promptly after payment or prepayment in full of any Note, such Purchaser shall
surrender such Note for cancellation, reasonably promptly after any such request, to the Company at its principal executive office or at the place of payment most recently designated by the Company pursuant to Section 14.1. Prior
to any sale or other disposition of any Note held by a Purchaser or its nominee, such Purchaser will, at its election, either endorse thereon the amount of principal paid thereon and the last date to which interest has been paid thereon or surrender
such Note to the Company in exchange for a new Note or Notes pursuant to Section 13.2. The Company will afford the benefits of this Section 14.2 to any Institutional Investor that is the direct or indirect transferee
of any Note purchased by a Purchaser under this Agreement and that has made the same agreement relating to such Note as the Purchasers have made in this Section 14.2.

All representations and warranties contained herein shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Notes, the purchase or
transfer by any Purchaser of any Note or portion thereof or interest therein and the payment of any Note, and may be relied upon by any subsequent Holder of a Note, regardless of any investigation made at any time by or on behalf of such Purchaser
or any other Holder of a Note; provided that no representation or warranty shall be deemed to be made as of any time other than the date of execution and delivery of this Agreement or such other document, certificate, instrument or agreement
containing such representation or warranty. All statements contained in any certificate or other instrument delivered by or on behalf of the Company pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed representations and warranties of the Company under this
Agreement. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement and the Notes embody the entire agreement and understanding between each Purchaser and the Company and supersede all prior agreements and understandings relating to the subject matter
hereof. 
 SECTION 17. AMENDMENT AND WAIVER.

(a) Solicitation. The Company will provide each Holder of the Notes (irrespective of the amount of Notes then owned by it) with
sufficient information, sufficiently far in advance of the date a decision is required, to enable such Holder to make an informed and considered decision with respect to any proposed amendment, waiver or consent in respect of any of the provisions
hereof or of the Notes. The Company will deliver executed or true and correct copies of each amendment, waiver or consent effected pursuant to the provisions of this Section 17 to each Holder of outstanding Notes promptly following the

support concurrently provided, on the same terms, ratably to each Holder of Notes then outstanding even if such Holder did not consent to such waiver or amendment. 

Section 17.3 Binding Effect, etc. Any amendment or waiver consented to as provided in this Section 17 applies
equally to all Holders of Notes and is binding upon them and upon each future Holder of any Note and upon the Company without regard to whether such Note has been marked to indicate such amendment or waiver. No such amendment or waiver will extend
to or affect any obligation, covenant, agreement, Default or Event of Default not expressly amended or waived or impair any right consequent thereon. No course of dealing between the Company and the Holder of any Note nor any delay in exercising any
rights hereunder or under any Note shall operate as a waiver of any rights of any Holder of such Note. As used herein, the term “this Agreement” and references thereto shall mean this Agreement as it may from time to time be amended or
supplemented. 
 Section 17.4 Notes Held by Company, etc. Solely for the purpose of determining whether the Holders of
the requisite percentage of the aggregate principal amount of Notes then outstanding approved or consented to any amendment, waiver or consent to be given under this Agreement or the Notes, or have directed the taking of any action provided herein

SECTION 1. AUTHORIZATION OF NOTES. 

The Company will authorize the issue and sale of $110,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 6.47% Senior Notes due

Purchasers’ obligations hereunder are several and not joint obligations and no Purchaser shall have any liability to any Person for the performance or non-performance of any obligation by any other Purchaser hereunder. 

SECTION 3. CLOSING. 
 The sale and

Purchaser as provided above in this Section 3, or any of the conditions specified in Section 4 shall not have been fulfilled to such Purchaser’s satisfaction, such 

  
 ANNEX A-2

 (Amended and Restated Note Purchase Agreement) 

 
Purchaser shall, at its election, be relieved of all further obligations under this Agreement, without thereby waiving any rights such Purchaser may have by reason of such failure or such

SECTION 5. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE COMPANY. 

The Company represents and warrants to each Purchaser that: 

Section 5.1 Organization; Power and Authority. Each of the Company, each Member, New Owner and New Operator is a limited liability
company or limited partnership, as applicable, duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of formation, and is duly qualified and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is
required by law, other than those jurisdictions as to which the failure to be so qualified or in good standing could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Each of the Company, each Member,
New Owner and New Operator has the limited liability company or limited partnership, as applicable, power and authority to own or hold under lease the properties it purports to own or hold under lease, to transact the business it transacts and
proposes to transact, to execute and deliver this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party and to perform the provisions hereof and thereof. 

Section 5.2 Authorization, Etc. This Agreement and the other Transaction Documents have been duly authorized by all necessary
limited liability company or limited partnership, as applicable, action on the part of the Company, each Member, New Owner and New Operator, and this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents constitute, and upon execution and delivery thereof
each Note will constitute, a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company, such Member, New Owner or New Operator, as applicable, enforceable against such Person in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by
(i) applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and (ii) general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is
considered in a proceeding in equity or at law). 
 Section 5.3 Disclosure. This Agreement, the other Transaction Documents and
the documents, certificates or other writings delivered to the Purchasers by or on behalf of the Company, a Member, New Owner or New Operator in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, and the financial statements listed in Schedule

“Disclosure Documents”), taken as a whole, do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein not 

  
 ANNEX A-7

 (Amended and Restated Note Purchase Agreement) 

 
misleading in light of the circumstances under which they were made. The projections and pro forma financial information contained in the materials referenced above are based upon good faith
estimates and assumptions believed by management of the Company and Sharyland to be reasonable at the time made and on the Closing Date, it being recognized by each Purchaser that such financial information as it relates to future events is not to
be viewed as fact and that actual results during the period or periods covered by such financial information may differ from the projected results set forth therein by a material amount. Except as disclosed in the Disclosure Documents, since
December 31, 2009, there has been no change in the financial condition, operations, business, properties or prospects of the Company, a Member, New Owner or New Operator except changes that individually or in the aggregate could not reasonably
be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. There is no fact known to the Company that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect that has not been set forth herein or in the Disclosure Documents.

(i) each of the Company’s, each Member’s, New Owner’s and New Operator’s jurisdiction of its organization and its ownership structure, (ii) the Company’s and each Member’s Subsidiaries, and (iii) the
Company’s, each Member’s, New Owner’s and New Operator’s senior officers. None of the Company, Sharyland, New Owner or New Operator has any Subsidiaries as of the Closing Date except as shown on Schedule 5.4. 

Section 5.5 Financial Statements; Material Liabilities. The Company and Sharyland have delivered to each Purchaser copies of the
financial statements listed on Schedule 5.5. 
 (a) With respect to the consolidated financial statements of the Company and
Sharyland, all of such financial statements (including in each case the related schedules and notes) fairly present in all material respects the consolidated financial positions of the Company and Sharyland, each as of the respective dates specified
in such Schedule and the results of their operations and cash flows for the respective periods so specified and have been prepared in accordance with GAAP consistently applied throughout the periods involved except as set forth in the notes thereto
(subject, in the case of any interim financial statements, to normal year-end adjustments). Neither the Company nor Sharyland has any material liabilities that are not disclosed on such financial statements or otherwise disclosed in the Disclosure
Documents. 
 (b) With respect to the consolidated financial statements of Cap Rock Energy Corporation, to the knowledge of the Company and
Sharyland, all of such financial statements (including in each case the related schedules and notes) fairly present in all material respects the consolidated financial positions of Cap Rock Energy Corporation as of the date specified in Schedule

 Section 5.6 Compliance with Laws, Other Instruments, Etc. The execution, delivery and
performance by the Company, the Members, New Owner and New Operator of this Agreement and the Notes and the other Transaction Documents to which such Person is a party, do not and will not (i) contravene, result in any breach of, or constitute
a default under, or result in the creation of any Lien in respect of any property of such Person under, any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan, purchase or credit agreement, lease, corporate charter or limited partnership or limited liability
company agreement, or any other agreement or instrument to which such Person is bound or by which such Person or any of its properties may be bound or affected, (ii) conflict with or result in a breach of any of the terms, conditions or
provisions of any order, judgment, decree, or ruling of any court, arbitrator or Governmental Authority applicable to such Person or (iii) violate any provision of any statute or other rule or regulation of any Governmental Authority applicable
to such Person, which in the case of any of the foregoing clauses (i) through (iii), with respect to Material Project Documents, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 

Section 5.7 Governmental Authorizations, Etc. Except as set forth on Schedule 5.7, no consent, approval or authorization
of, or registration, filing or declaration with, any Governmental Authority is required in connection with the execution, delivery or performance by the Company, either Member, New Owner or New Operator of this Agreement or the Notes or any of the
other Transaction Documents to which it is a party. 
 Section 5.8 Litigation; Observance of Agreements, Statutes and Orders.
(a) There are no actions, suits, investigations or proceedings pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened against or affecting the Company, either Member, New Owner or New Operator or any of their property in any court or before
any arbitrator of any kind or before or by any Governmental Authority that, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 

(b) None of the Company, either Member, New Operator or New Owner is in default under any term of any Material Project Document or any other
agreement or any order, judgment, decree or ruling of any court, arbitrator or Governmental Authority or is in violation of any applicable law, ordinance, rule or regulation (including without limitation Environmental Laws or the USA Patriot Act) of
any Governmental Authority, which default or violation, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 

(c) To the knowledge of the Company, after due inquiry, no breach or default under any of the Material Project Documents has occurred and is
continuing. 
 Section 5.9 Taxes. Each of the Company, each Member, New Owner and New Operator has filed all material tax

assessments levied upon them or their properties, assets, income or franchises, to the extent such taxes and assessments have become due and payable and before they have become delinquent, except for any taxes and assessments (i) the amount of
which is not individually or in the aggregate material or (ii) the amount, applicability or validity of which is currently being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and with respect to which such Person has

  
 ANNEX A-9

 (Amended and Restated Note Purchase Agreement) 

 
established adequate reserves in accordance with GAAP. The Company knows of no basis for any other tax or assessment that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The
charges, accruals and reserves on the books of the Company in respect of Federal, state or other taxes for all fiscal periods are adequate. 

Section 5.10 Title to Property; Leases. The Company has good and sufficient title to the System and the Acquired System, New Owner
has good and sufficient title to the FERC Assets and the Company, Sharyland, New Owner and New Operator have good and sufficient title to their properties that individually or in the aggregate are material to them, free and clear of Liens (other

Sharyland and the New Operator (collectively, the “Required Permits”), without known conflict with the rights of others. All Required Permits are listed in Schedule 5.12(a). The Material Project Documents listed on
Schedule 5.12(b) constitute and include all material contracts and agreements to which the Company, Sharyland, New Owner or New Operator is a party. Each Material Project Document is in full force and effect, and constitutes the legal, valid
and binding obligation of each party thereto as of the date hereof. 
 Section 5.13 Compliance with ERISA. The Company and each
ERISA Affiliate have operated and administered each Plan in compliance with all applicable laws except for such instances of noncompliance as have not resulted in and could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. Neither
the Company nor any ERISA Affiliate has incurred any liability pursuant to Title I or IV of ERISA or the penalty or excise tax provisions of the Code relating to employee benefit plans (as defined in section 3 of ERISA), and no event, transaction or
condition has occurred or exists that could reasonably be expected to result in the incurrence of any such liability by the Company or any ERISA Affiliate, or in the imposition of any Lien on any of the rights, properties or assets of the Company or
any ERISA Affiliate, in either case pursuant to Title I or IV of ERISA or to such penalty or excise tax provisions or to section 401(a)(29) or 412 of the Code or section 4068 of ERISA, other than such liabilities or Liens as would not be
individually or in the aggregate material. 
 (b) The present value of the aggregate benefit liabilities under each of the Plans (other than
Multiemployer Plans), determined as of the end of such Plan’s most recently ended plan year on the basis of the actuarial assumptions specified for funding purposes in such Plan’s most recent actuarial valuation report did not exceed the
aggregate current value of the 

  
 ANNEX A-10

 (Amended and Restated Note Purchase Agreement) 

 
assets of such Plan allocable to such benefit liabilities by an amount that could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. The term “benefit liabilities” has the
meaning specified in section 4001 of ERISA and the terms “current value” and “present value” have the meanings specified in section 3 of ERISA. 

(c) The Company and its ERISA Affiliates have not incurred withdrawal liabilities (and are not subject to contingent withdrawal liabilities)
under section 4201 or 4204 of ERISA in respect of Multiemployer Plans that individually or in the aggregate are material.

expected postretirement benefit obligation (determined as of the last day of the Company’s most recently ended fiscal year in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 106, without regard to liabilities
attributable to continuation coverage mandated by section 4980B of the Code) of the Company is not material to it. 
 (e) The execution and delivery
of this Agreement and the issuance and sale of the Notes hereunder will not involve any non-exempt prohibited transaction under section 406 of ERISA or in connection with which a tax could be imposed pursuant to section 4975(c)(1)(A)-(D) of the
Code. The representation by the Company to each Purchaser in the first sentence of this Section 5.13(e) is made in reliance upon and subject to the accuracy of such Purchaser’s representation in Section 6.2 as to the
sources of the funds used to pay the purchase price of the Notes to be purchased by such Purchaser. 
 Section 5.14 Private
Offering by the Company. Neither the Company nor anyone acting on its behalf has offered the Notes or any similar securities for sale to, or solicited any offer to buy any of the same from, or otherwise approached or negotiated in respect
thereof with, any person other than the Purchasers and not more than five other Institutional Investors, each of which has been offered the Notes at a private sale for investment. Neither the Company nor anyone acting on its behalf has taken, or
will take, any action that would subject the issuance or sale of the Notes to the registration requirements of Section 5 of the Securities Act or to the registration requirements of any securities or blue sky laws of any applicable
jurisdiction. 
 Section 5.15 Use of Proceeds; Margin Regulations. The Company has applied the proceeds of the sale of the Notes
to (i) pay the purchase price for the Cap Rock Transaction and (ii) pay all fees, expenses and costs related to Closing, including legal fees and the Structuring Fee. No part of the proceeds from the sale of the Notes hereunder will be
used, directly or indirectly, for the purpose of buying or carrying any margin stock within the meaning of Regulation U of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (12 CFR 221), or for the purpose of buying or carrying or trading in any
securities under such circumstances as to involve the Company in a violation of Regulation X of said Board (12 CFR 224) or to involve any broker or dealer in a violation of Regulation T of said Board (12 CFR 220). As used in this Section, the terms
“margin stock” and “purpose of buying or carrying” shall have the meanings assigned to them in Regulation U.

 ANNEX A-11

 (Amended and Restated Note Purchase Agreement) 

 
any). Since March 31, 2010, there has been no material change in the amounts, interest rates, sinking funds, installment payments or maturities of the Indebtedness of the Company, a Member,
New Owner or New Operator. None of the Company, a Member, New Owner or New Operator is in default and no waiver of default is currently in effect, in the payment of any principal or interest on any of its Indebtedness and no event or condition
exists with respect to any of its Indebtedness that would permit (or that with notice or the lapse of time, or both, would permit) one or more Persons to cause such Indebtedness to become due and payable before its stated maturity or before its
regularly scheduled dates of payment. 
 (b) The Company has not agreed or consented to cause or permit in the future (upon the happening of
a contingency or otherwise) any of its property, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, to be subject to a Lien not otherwise permitted by Section 10.5. 

(c) The Company is not a party to, nor otherwise subject to any provision contained in, any instrument evidencing Indebtedness of the Company,
any agreement relating thereto or any other agreement (including, but not limited to, its charter or other organizational document) which limits the amount of, or otherwise imposes restrictions on the incurring of, Indebtedness of the Company, other
than the 2009 Note Agreement and the RBC Agreement. 
 Section 5.17 Foreign Assets Control Regulations, Etc. (a) Neither
the sale of the Notes by the Company hereunder nor the use of the proceeds thereof will violate the Trading with the Enemy Act, as amended, or any of the foreign assets control regulations of the United States Treasury Department (31 CFR, Subtitle
B, Chapter V, as amended) or any enabling legislation or executive order relating thereto. 
 (b) None of the Company, the Members, New
Owner or New Operator: (i) is a Person described or designated in the Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons List of the Office of Foreign Assets Control or in Section 1 of the
Anti-Terrorism Order or (ii) engages in any dealings or transactions with any such Person. The Company, each Member, New Owner and New Operator is in compliance, in all material respects, with the USA
Patriot Act. 
 (c) No part of the proceeds from the sale of the Notes hereunder will be used, directly or indirectly, for any payments to
any governmental official or employee, political party, official of a political party, candidate for political office, or anyone else acting in an official capacity, in order to obtain, retain or direct business or obtain any improper advantage, in
violation of the United States Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended, assuming in all cases that such Act applies to the Company and the Members. 

Section 5.18 Status under Certain Statutes. Prior to, and after consummation of, the Cap Rock Transaction: 

(a) Neither Member nor the Company is an “investment company” or a company “controlled” by an “investment
company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or an “investment adviser” within the meaning of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended. 

  
 ANNEX A-12

 (Amended and Restated Note Purchase Agreement) 

 (b) Neither the Company nor either Member is a “public utility” under the FPA and the
regulations of FERC thereunder. The execution, delivery and performance of the Company’s and Sharyland’s obligations under the Transaction Documents requires no authorization of approval by, or notice to, and is not subject to the
jurisdiction of, FERC under the FPA. 
 (c) Sharyland and the holding company system of which it is a part have obtained a waiver of the
requirements of 18 C.F.R. 366.21, 366.22 and 366.23 (FERC Docket No. PH06-59-000), but are subject to the FERC regulations relating to regulatory access to books and records. Sharyland and the holding company system of which it is a part have filed
a notice of holding company status under FERC Docket No. HC06-1-000 and may be required to submit a revised notice of holding company status and/or a revised request for the waiver described in the preceding sentence as a result of the transactions
contemplated in the Transaction Documents or in Schedule 10.1. Under FERC’s currently effective regulations, the Company will be deemed not to be a “public-utility company” and as a result TDC is not a “holding
company” under PUHCA; as a result of the Cap Rock Transactions, Sharyland will become a “holding company” under PUHCA. 
 (d)
The Company is subject to regulation as an “electric utility” by the Public Utility Commission of Texas. The execution, delivery and performance of the Company’s and Sharyland’s obligations under the Transaction Documents
requires no authorization or approval by, or notice to, the Public Utility Commission of Texas or under the Public Utility Regulatory Act of Texas other than those that have been obtained. 

(e) Solely by virtue of the execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Documents, no Purchaser will become subject to any of the
provisions of the FPA, PUHCA (based on FERC’s currently effective definitions under PUHCA) or the Public Utility Regulatory Act of Texas, or to regulation under any such statute. 

Section 5.19 Environmental Matters. (a) The Company has no knowledge of any claims nor has it received any notice of any
claim, and no proceeding has been instituted raising any claim against the Company, a Member, New Owner or New Operator or any of their real properties now or formerly owned, leased or operated by any of them or other assets, alleging any damage to
the environment or violation of any Environmental Laws, except, in each case, such as could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. 

(b) The Company has no knowledge of any facts which would give rise to any claim, public or private, of violation of Environmental Laws or
damage to the environment emanating from, occurring on or in any way related to real properties now or formerly owned, leased or operated by the Company, either Member, New Owner or New Operator or to other assets or its use, except, in each case,
such as could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect. 
 (c) None of the Company, a Member, New Owner or New
Operator has stored any Hazardous Materials on real properties now or formerly owned, leased or operated by any of them and has not disposed of any Hazardous Materials in a manner contrary to any Environmental Laws in each case in any manner that
could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect; and 
 (d) All buildings on all real properties now owned, leased or
operated by the Company, a Member, New Owner or New Operator are in compliance with applicable Environmental Laws, except where failure to comply could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

 Section 5.20 Force Majeure Events; Employees. None of the System, the Acquired
System, the FERC Assets nor any of the other assets of the Company, a Member, New Owner and New Operator has suffered any Force Majeure Event that is continuing. Neither the Company nor New Owner has any employees. 

Section 5.21 Collateral. The Collateral, as described in the Security Documents, constitutes all of the Company’s rights in
the System Lease and the System and all of its membership interests in New Owner and all of TDC’s membership interests in the Company. The security interests in the Collateral granted to the Collateral Agent (for the benefit of the Secured
Parties) pursuant to the Financing Documents: (a) constitute as to personal property included in the Collateral and, with respect to subsequently acquired personal property included in the Collateral, will constitute, a perfected security
interest and Lien under each applicable Uniform Commercial Code, and (b) are, and, with respect to such subsequently acquired property, will be, as to Collateral perfected under each applicable Uniform Commercial Code, superior and prior to the
rights of all third Persons now existing or hereafter arising whether by way of mortgage, lien, security interests, encumbrance, assignment or otherwise, except for Permitted Liens. All action as is necessary has been taken to establish and perfect
the Collateral Agent’s rights in and to, and the first lien priority of its Lien on, the Collateral, including any recording, filing, registration, delivery to the Collateral Agent, giving of notice or other similar action. The Security
Documents and financing statements relating thereto have been duly filed or recorded in each office and in each jurisdiction where required in order to create and perfect the Lien and security interest described above and the priority thereof. 

SECTION 6. REPRESENTATIONS OF THE PURCHASERS. 

Section 6.1 Purchase for Investment. Each Purchaser severally represents that it is an “Accredited Investor” as
defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D under the Securities Act. Each Purchaser severally represents that it is purchasing the Notes for its own account or for one or more separate accounts maintained by such Purchaser or for the account of one or more
pension or trust funds and not with a view to the distribution thereof, provided that the disposition of such Purchaser’s property shall at all times be within such Purchaser’s control. Each Purchaser understands that the Notes have not
been registered under the Securities Act and may be resold only if registered pursuant to the provisions of the Securities Act or if an exemption from registration is available, except under circumstances where neither such registration nor such an
exemption is required by law, and that the Company is not required to register the Notes. 

  
 ANNEX A-14

Labor’s Prohibited Transaction Exemption (“PTE”) 95-60) in respect of which the reserves and liabilities (as defined by the annual statement for life insurance companies approved by the National Association of Insurance
Commissioners (the “NAIC Annual Statement”)) for the general account contract(s) held by or on behalf of any employee benefit plan together with the amount of the reserves and liabilities for the general account contract(s) held by
or on behalf of any other employee benefit plans maintained by the same employer (or affiliate thereof as defined in PTE 95-60) or by the same employee organization in the general account do not exceed 10% of the total reserves and liabilities of

 SECTION 8. PAYMENT AND PREPAYMENT OF THE NOTES. 

Section 8.1 Amortization; Maturity. On each Payment Date, the Company will prepay the principal amounts set forth in the
amortization schedule attached hereto as Schedule 8.1 (the “Amortization Schedule”) (or such lesser principal amount as shall then be 

  
 ANNEX A-19

 (Amended and Restated Note Purchase Agreement) 

 
outstanding) of the Notes at par and without payment of the Yield-Maintenance Amount or any premium, provided that upon any partial prepayment of the Notes pursuant to Section 8.2,
the principal amount of each required prepayment of the Notes becoming due under this Section 8.1 on and after the date of such prepayment shall be reduced in the same proportion as the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Notes is
reduced as a result of the prepayment. The entire unpaid principal balance of the Notes shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date. 

Section 8.2 Optional Prepayments with Yield-Maintenance Amount. The Company may, at its option, upon notice as provided below,
prepay at any time all, or from time to time any part of, the Notes, in an amount not less than $1,000,000 in the case of a partial prepayment, at 100% of the principal amount so prepaid, and the Yield-Maintenance Amount determined for the
prepayment date with respect to such principal amount. The Company will give each Holder of Notes written notice of each optional prepayment under this Section 8.2 not less than 30 days and not more than 60 days prior to the date fixed
for such prepayment. Each such notice shall specify such date (which shall be a Business Day), the aggregate principal amount of the Notes to be prepaid on such date, the principal amount of each Note held by such Holder to be prepaid (determined in
accordance with Section 8.3), and the interest to be paid on the prepayment date with respect to such principal amount being prepaid, and shall be accompanied by a certificate of a Senior Financial Officer as to the estimated
Yield-Maintenance Amount due in connection with such prepayment (calculated as if the date of such notice were the date of the prepayment), setting forth the details of such computation. Two Business Days prior to such prepayment, the Company shall
deliver to each Holder of Notes a certificate of a Senior Financial Officer specifying the calculation of such Yield-Maintenance Amount as of the specified prepayment date. 

Section 8.3 Allocation of Partial Prepayments. In the case of each partial prepayment of the Notes, the principal amount of the
Notes to be prepaid shall be allocated among all of the Notes at the time outstanding in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to the respective unpaid principal amounts thereof not theretofore called for prepayment. 

Section 8.4 Maturity; Surrender, Etc. In the case of each prepayment of Notes pursuant to this Section 8, the principal
amount of each Note to be prepaid shall mature and become due and payable on the date fixed for such prepayment (which shall be a Business Day), together with interest on such principal amount accrued to such date and the applicable
Yield-Maintenance Amount, if any. From and after such date, unless the Company shall fail to pay such principal amount when so due and payable, together with the interest and Yield-Maintenance Amount, if any, as aforesaid, interest on such principal
amount shall cease to accrue. Any Note paid or prepaid in full shall be surrendered to the Company and cancelled and shall not be reissued, and no Note shall be issued in lieu of any prepaid principal amount of any Note. 

Section 8.5 Purchase of Notes. The Company will not and will not permit any Affiliate to purchase, redeem, prepay or otherwise
acquire, directly or indirectly, any of the outstanding Notes except (a) upon the payment or prepayment of the Notes in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Notes or (b) pursuant to Section 13.2(b); provided that
if an Affiliate which does not Control and is not Controlled by the Company has so acquired any of the outstanding Notes, such acquisition shall not constitute an Event of Default. The Company 

  
 ANNEX A-20

 (Amended and Restated Note Purchase Agreement) 

 
will promptly cancel all Notes acquired by it or any Affiliate pursuant to any payment or prepayment of Notes pursuant to any provision of this Agreement and no Notes may be issued in
substitution or exchange for any such Notes. 
 Section 8.6 Yield-Maintenance Amount. 

“Yield-Maintenance Amount” means, with respect to any Note, an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the Discounted
Value of the Remaining Scheduled Payments with respect to the Called Principal of such Note over the amount of such Called Principal, provided that the Yield-Maintenance Amount may in no event be less than zero. For the purposes of determining the
Yield-Maintenance Amount, the following terms have the following meanings: 
 “Called Principal” means, with
respect to any Note, the principal of such Note that is to be prepaid pursuant to Section 8.2 or has become or is declared to be immediately due and payable pursuant to Section 12.1, as the context requires. 

“Discounted Value” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Note, the amount obtained by discounting all
Remaining Scheduled Payments with respect to such Called Principal from their respective scheduled due dates to the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal, in accordance with accepted financial practice and at a discount factor
(applied on the same periodic basis as that on which interest on the Notes is payable) equal to the Reinvestment Yield with respect to such Called Principal. 

“Reinvestment Yield” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Note, 0.50% over the yield to maturity implied
by (i) the yields reported as of 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the second Business Day preceding the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal, on the display designated as “Page PX1” (or such other display as may
replace Page PX1) on Bloomberg Financial Markets for the most recently issued actively traded on the run U.S. Treasury securities having a maturity equal to the Remaining Average Life of such Called Principal as of such Settlement Date, or
(ii) if such yields are not reported as of such time or the yields reported as of such time are not ascertainable (including by way of interpolation), the Treasury Constant Maturity Series Yields reported, for the latest day for which such
yields have been so reported as of the second Business Day preceding the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal, in Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15 (or any comparable successor publication) for U.S. Treasury securities having
a constant maturity equal to the Remaining Average Life of such Called Principal as of such Settlement Date. 
 In the case of each
determination under clause (i) or clause (ii), as the case may be, of the preceding paragraph, such implied yield will be determined, if necessary, by (a) converting U.S. Treasury bill quotations to bond equivalent yields in accordance
with accepted financial practice and (b) interpolating linearly between (1) the applicable U.S. Treasury security with the maturity closest to and greater than such Remaining Average Life and (2) the applicable U.S. Treasury security
with the maturity closest to and less than such Remaining Average Life. The Reinvestment Yield shall be rounded to the number of decimal places as appears in the interest rate of the applicable Note. 

  
 ANNEX A-21

 (Amended and Restated Note Purchase Agreement) 

 “Remaining Average Life” means, with respect to any Called Principal, the
number of years (calculated to the nearest one-twelfth year) obtained by dividing (i) such Called Principal into (ii) the sum of the products obtained by multiplying (a) the principal component of each Remaining Scheduled Payment with
respect to such Called Principal by (b) the number of years (calculated to the nearest one-twelfth year) that will elapse between the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal and the scheduled due date of such Remaining Scheduled
Payment. 
 “Remaining Scheduled Payments” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Note, all
payments of such Called Principal and interest thereon that would be due after the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal if no payment of such Called Principal were made prior to its scheduled due date, provided that if such
Settlement Date is not a date on which interest payments are due to be made under the terms of the Notes, then the amount of the next succeeding scheduled interest payment will be reduced by the amount of interest accrued to such Settlement Date and
required to be paid on such Settlement Date pursuant to Section 8.2 or 12.1. 
 “Settlement
Date” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Note, the date on which such Called Principal is to be prepaid pursuant to Section 8.2 or has become or is declared to be immediately due and payable pursuant to
Section 12.1, as the context requires. 
 SECTION 9. AFFIRMATIVE COVENANTS. 

The Company covenants that so long as any of the Notes are outstanding: 

Section 9.1 Compliance with Law. Without limiting Section 10.4, the Company will, and will cause its Subsidiaries to
comply with all laws, ordinances or governmental rules or regulations to which it is subject, including, without limitation, ERISA, the USA Patriot Act and Environmental Laws, and will obtain and maintain in effect all licenses, certificates,
permits, franchises and other governmental authorizations necessary to the ownership of its properties or to the conduct of its businesses to the extent necessary to ensure that non-compliance with such laws, ordinances or governmental rules or
regulations or failures to obtain or maintain in effect such licenses, certificates, permits, franchises and other governmental authorizations could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

 Section 9.2 Insurance. (a) Maintenance of Insurance. The Company will maintain or cause to be maintained
and will cause its Subsidiaries to maintain, with financially sound and reputable insurers, insurance with respect to their respective properties and businesses against such casualties and contingencies, of such types, on such terms and in such
amounts (including deductibles, co-insurance and self-insurance, if adequate reserves are maintained with respect thereto) as is customary in the case of entities of established reputations engaged in the same or a similar business and similarly
situated. 
 (b) Evidence of Insurance: Promptly upon request by a Holder or the Collateral Agent, the Company shall furnish
the Holders and the Collateral Agent with approved certification of all required insurance. Such certification shall be executed by each insurer or by an authorized representative of each insurer where it is not practical for such insurer to execute

  
 ANNEX A-22

 (Amended and Restated Note Purchase Agreement) 

 
the certificate itself. Such certification shall identify underwriters, the type of insurance, the insurance limits, and the policy term, and shall specifically list the special provisions
enumerated for such insurance required by this Section 9.2. Upon request, the Company will promptly furnish the Holders and the Collateral Agent with copies of all insurance certificates, binders, and cover notes or other evidence of
such insurance relating to the Collateral. 
 (c) No Duty of Purchaser to Verify: No provision of this
Section 9.2 or any other provision of this Agreement, any other Financing Document or any Lease shall impose on the Holders or the Collateral Agent any duty or obligation to verify the existence or adequacy of the insurance
coverage maintained by the Company, nor shall the Holders or the Collateral Agent be responsible for any representations or warranties made by or on behalf of the Company to any insurance company or underwriter. 

Section 9.3 Maintenance of Properties. The Company will, and will cause its Subsidiaries, Sharyland and Qualified Lessees that are
Affiliates of the Company to, and will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the other Qualified Lessees to, (a) maintain, preserve and protect in all material respects all of its respective material properties (including any such
properties comprising any material portion of the System) and equipment necessary in the operation of its respective business (taken as a whole) in good, working order and condition, ordinary wear and tear excepted; and (b) make all necessary
repairs thereto and renewals and replacements thereof. 
 Section 9.4 Payment of Taxes and Claims. The Company will, and will
cause each of its Subsidiaries to, file all tax returns required to be filed in any jurisdiction and to pay and discharge all taxes shown to be due and payable on such returns and all other taxes, assessments, governmental charges, or levies imposed
on them or any of their properties, assets, income or franchises, to the extent the same have become due and payable and before they have become delinquent and all claims for which sums have become due and payable that have or might become a Lien on
properties or assets of the Company or any Subsidiary, provided that none of the Company or any Subsidiary need pay any such tax, assessment, charge, levy or claim if (i) the amount, applicability or validity thereof is contested by such Person
on a timely basis in good faith and in appropriate proceedings, and such Person has established adequate reserves therefor in accordance with GAAP on its books or (ii) the nonpayment of all such taxes, assessments, charges, levies and claims in
the aggregate could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 
 Section 9.5 Existence, Etc.. Except as
permitted under Section 10.2, the Company will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries, at all times preserve and keep in full force and effect its respective limited liability company, corporate or limited partnership existence and all
rights and franchises of the Company unless (other than with respect to the Company’s existence), in the good faith judgment of the Company, the termination of or failure to preserve and keep in full force and effect such limited liability
company, corporate or limited partnership existence, right or franchise could not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect. 

  
 ANNEX A-23

 (Amended and Restated Note Purchase Agreement) 

 Section 9.6 Books and Records; Inspection Rights. The Company will, and will cause
each of its Subsidiaries and Sharyland to, and will use commercially reasonable efforts to cause other Qualified Lessees to, maintain proper books of record and account in conformity with GAAP and all applicable requirements of any Governmental
Authority having legal or regulatory jurisdiction over such Person. The Company will permit representatives and independent contractors of the Holders of the Notes to visit and inspect any of its properties, to examine its corporate, financial and
operating records, and make copies thereof or abstracts therefrom, and to discuss its affairs, finances and accounts with its directors, officers, and independent public accountants, all at the expense of the Company and at such reasonable times
during normal business hours no more than once per calendar year, upon reasonable advance notice to the Company; provided, however, that when an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any Holder of the Notes (or any of its
respective representatives or independent contractors) may do any of the foregoing at the expense of the Company at any time during normal business hours and as often as reasonably desired. 

Section 9.7 Collateral; Further Assurances (a) The Company shall take all actions necessary to insure that the Collateral Agent,
on behalf of the Secured Parties (or in the case of Real Property Collateral, the Trustee named in the Deeds of Trust, for the benefit of the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties), has and continues to have in all relevant jurisdictions
duly and validly created, attached and enforceable Liens on the Collateral, including perfected first-priority Liens on Collateral constituting UCC Collateral or Real Property Collateral, in each case, to the extent required under the Security
Documents (including, in accordance with clauses (c) and (d) of this Section 9.7, after-acquired Collateral), subject to no Liens other than Permitted Liens. The Company shall cause the Obligations to constitute direct senior
secured obligations of the Company and to be senior in right of payment and to rank senior in right of security (other than Permitted Liens) with respect to Collateral granted in the Security Documents to all other Indebtedness of the Company (other
than Permitted Secured Indebtedness, with which it shall be pari passu in accordance with the terms of the Collateral Agency Agreement). 

(b) Upon completion of each New Project of a Project Finance Subsidiary, the Company may cause any such Project Finance Subsidiary to Transfer

Default occurs as a result of such Transfer, (y) the Indebtedness of the Project Finance Subsidiary is either repaid in full at the time of the Transfer or becomes Permitted Secured Indebtedness in accordance with the Collateral Agency

the Collateral Agent a fully executed mortgage or deed of trust over the Company’s interests in such Real Property Collateral, in form and substance satisfactory to the Required Holders and the Collateral Agent, together with such surveys,
environmental reports and other 

  
 ANNEX A-24

 (Amended and Restated Note Purchase Agreement) 

 
documents and certificates with respect to such real estate as may be reasonably required by the Required Holders. The Company further agrees to take all other actions necessary to create in
favor of the Trustee named therein for the benefit of the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties a valid and enforceable first priority Lien on the Company’s interests in such Real Property Collateral, free and clear of all Liens except
for Permitted Liens and rights of holders of Permitted Secured Indebtedness in compliance with the Collateral Agency Agreement. The Company shall not create in favor of any Person a Lien on the Company’s interests in real property acquired or
leased after the Third Amendment Date other than Permitted Liens (but excluding Permitted Liens that constitute Permitted Secured Indebtedness other than the Notes). 

(d) If, after the Third Amendment Date, the Company acquires or creates any new Subsidiary (other than any Subsidiary of the Company that is
not organized under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia, any Project Finance Subsidiary and any other Subsidiary that is prohibited from providing a Guaranty of the Obligations by any Requirement of Law), the

Closing Date pursuant to Section 4.03(b), with appropriate insertions and attachments;

actions reasonably necessary or advisable to grant to the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties (or, in the case of Real Property Collateral, the Trustee named in the Deeds of Trust, for the benefit of the Collateral Agent and the
other Secured Parties) a perfected and enforceable first-priority Lien in the Collateral described in the Security Documents with respect to such new Subsidiary, subject to no Liens other than Permitted Liens and rights of holders of Permitted
Secured Indebtedness in compliance with the Collateral Agency Agreement, and including the filing of UCC financing statements in such jurisdictions as may be required by such Subsidiary Guaranty or by law or as may be reasonably requested by the
Collateral Agent; 
 (iv) to deliver to the Collateral Agent the stock certificates (if any) representing equity interests
issued by such Subsidiary, together with undated stock (or other transfer) powers, in blank, executed and delivered by a duly authorized officer of the Company; and

 Section 9.8
Material Project Documents. (a) The Company shall at all times (i) perform and observe all of the covenants under the Material Project Documents to which it is a 

  
 ANNEX A-25

 (Amended and Restated Note Purchase Agreement) 

 
party and take reasonable actions to enforce all of its rights thereunder, other than to the extent the same could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, (ii) subject
to the provisions of clause (b) of this Section 9.8, maintain the System Leases (other than Leases constituting System Leases only pursuant to clause (5) of the definition thereof) in full force and effect, and (iii) maintain the
Leases (other than the System Leases referred to in the foregoing clause (ii) of this Section 9.8(a)) to which it or any of its Subsidiaries is a party in full force and effect, except to the extent the same could not reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. 
 (b) If the term of a Lease with the Company or one of its Subsidiaries expires and the
Qualified Lessee under such Lease has either ceased operating the related assets or has ceased paying rent as required under the applicable Lease, the Company shall, or shall cause a Subsidiary, as applicable, to enter into a supplement or a new
Lease with respect to the related leasehold assets with a Qualified Lessee that provides for rent that, when combined with all other expected revenue, will, in the reasonable judgment of the Company, as of the commencement date of such supplement or
new Lease, generate sufficient revenue to satisfy the requirements of Section 9.9 and will not otherwise result in a materially worse position for the Company as compared to the terms of the applicable expired Lease. Each such new Lease
shall have a term of at least five years. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if (i) such expired Lease relates to transmission and/or distribution assets that are not generating significant revenue, (ii) the failure to renew such Lease would
not constitute a Material Adverse Effect and (iii) the Company reasonably believes it will generate sufficient revenue and hold sufficient assets (without giving effect to the leasehold assets with respect to such Lease) to satisfy the

Ratio of not more than 0.65 to 1.00.

Indebtedness in an aggregate principal amount greater than $25,000,000 shall be outstanding and such agreement contains one or more financial covenants which are more restrictive on the Company and its Subsidiaries than the financial covenants
contained in Section 9.9 of this Agreement, then such more restrictive financial covenants and any related definitions (the “Additional Financial Covenants”) shall automatically be deemed to be incorporated into
Section 9.9 of this Agreement by reference from the time such other agreement becomes binding upon the Company until such time as such other Indebtedness is repaid in full and all commitments related thereto are terminated;
provided, that if at the time of any such repayment or the termination of any such commitment a Default or Event of Default shall exist under this Agreement, then such Additional Financial Covenants shall continue in full force and effect

determined in good faith that such restrictions would not reasonably be expected to impair in any material respect the ability of the Note Parties to meet their ongoing payment obligations under the Note Documents, or (y) are not materially
more restrictive, taken as a whole with respect to the Company and the Subsidiaries than the restrictions in the Note Documents, (v) with respect to clause (c), any negative pledge incurred or provided in favor of any holder of Indebtedness

 SECTION 12.
REMEDIES ON DEFAULT, ETC. 
 Section 12.1 Acceleration. (a) If an Event of Default with respect to the Company described
in Section 11(j) or (k) (other than an Event of Default described in clause (i) of Section 11(j) or described in clause (vi) of Section 11(j) by virtue of the fact that such clause
encompasses clause (i) of Section 11(j)) has occurred, all the Notes then outstanding shall automatically become immediately due and payable. 

(b) If any other Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any Holder or Holders of more than 51% in principal amount of the Notes at
the time outstanding may at any time at its or their option, by notice or notices to the Company, declare all the Notes then outstanding to be immediately due and payable. 

(c) If any Event of Default described in Section 11(a) or (b) has occurred and is continuing, any Holder or Holders of
Notes at the time outstanding affected by such Event of Default may at any time, at its or their option, by notice or notices to the Company, declare all the Notes held by it or them to be immediately due and payable. 

Upon any Notes becoming due and payable under this Section 12.1, whether automatically or by declaration, such Notes will forthwith mature
and the entire unpaid principal amount of such Notes, plus (x) all accrued and unpaid interest thereon (including, but not limited to, interest accrued thereon at the Default Rate) and (y) the Yield-Maintenance Amount determined in respect
of such principal amount (to the full extent permitted by applicable law), shall all be immediately due and payable, in each and every case without presentment, demand, protest or further notice, all of which are hereby waived. The Company
acknowledges, and the parties hereto agree, that each Holder of a Note has the right to maintain its investment in the Notes free from repayment by the Company (except as herein specifically provided for) and that the provision for payment of a
Yield-Maintenance Amount by the Company in the event that the Notes are prepaid or are accelerated as a result of an Event of Default, is intended to provide compensation for the deprivation of such right under such circumstances. 

Section 12.2 Other Remedies. If any Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and irrespective of whether any
Notes have become or have been declared immediately due and payable under Section 12.1, the Holder of any Note at the time outstanding may proceed to protect and enforce the rights of such Holder by an action at law, suit in equity or
other appropriate proceeding, whether for the specific performance of any agreement contained herein or in any Note, or for an injunction against a violation of any of the terms hereof or thereof, or in aid of the exercise of any power granted
hereby or thereby or by law or otherwise. 
 Section 12.3 Rescission. At any time after any Notes have been declared due and
payable pursuant to Section 12.1(b) or (c), the Holders of not less than 51% in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, by written notice to the Company, may rescind and annul any such

  
 ANNEX A-39

 (Amended and Restated Note Purchase Agreement) 

 
declaration and its consequences if (a) the Company has paid all overdue interest on the Notes, all principal of and Yield-Maintenance Amount, if any, on any Notes that are due and payable
and are unpaid other than by reason of such declaration, and all interest on such overdue principal and Yield-Maintenance Amount, if any, and (to the extent permitted by applicable law) any overdue interest in respect of the Notes, at the Default
Rate, (b) neither the Company nor any other Person shall have paid any amounts which have become due solely by reason of such declaration, (c) all Events of Default and Defaults, other than non-payment of amounts that have become due
solely by reason of such declaration, have been cured or have been waived pursuant to Section 17, and (d) no judgment or decree has been entered for the payment of any monies due pursuant hereto or to the Notes. No rescission and
annulment under this Section 12.3 will extend to or affect any subsequent Event of Default or Default or impair any right consequent thereon. 

Section 12.4 No Waivers or Election of Remedies, Expenses, Etc. No course of dealing and no delay on the part of any Holder of any
Note in exercising any right, power or remedy shall operate as a waiver thereof or otherwise prejudice such Holder’s rights, powers or remedies. No right, power or remedy conferred by this Agreement or by any Note upon any Holder thereof shall
be exclusive of any other right, power or remedy referred to herein or therein or now or hereafter available at law, in equity, by statute or otherwise. Without limiting the obligations of the Company under Section 15, the Company will
pay to the Holder of each Note on demand such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover all costs and expenses of such Holder incurred in any enforcement or collection under this Section 12, including, without limitation, reasonable
attorneys’ fees, expenses and disbursements. 
 SECTION 13. REGISTRATION; EXCHANGE; SUBSTITUTION OF NOTES. 

Section 13.1 Registration of Notes. The Company shall keep at its principal executive office a register for the registration and
registration of transfers of Notes. The name and address of each Holder of one or more Notes, each transfer thereof and the name and address of each transferee of one or more Notes shall be registered in such register. Prior to due presentment for
registration of transfer, the Person in whose name any Note shall be registered shall be deemed and treated as the owner and Holder thereof for all purposes hereof, and the Company shall not be affected by any notice or knowledge to the contrary.
The Company shall give to any Holder of a Note that is an Institutional Investor, promptly upon request therefor, a complete and correct copy of the names and addresses of all registered Holders of Notes. In addition to and not in limitation of any
representations contained herein, each Holder acknowledges and agrees that the Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act and may not be transferred except pursuant to registration or an exemption therefrom and in compliance with
Section 13.2(b) hereof. 
 Section 13.2 Transfer and Exchange of Notes. (a) Subject to compliance with
Section 13.2(b), upon surrender of any Note to the Company at the address and to the attention of the designated officer (all as specified in Section 18(iii)), for registration of transfer or exchange (and in the case of a surrender
for registration of transfer accompanied by a written instrument of transfer duly executed by the registered Holder of such Note or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing and accompanied by the relevant name, address and other
information for notices of each transferee of such Note or part thereof), within ten Business Days 

  
 ANNEX A-40

 (Amended and Restated Note Purchase Agreement) 

 
thereafter, the Company shall execute and deliver, at the Company’s expense (except as provided below), one or more new Notes (as requested by the Holder thereof) in exchange therefor, in an
aggregate principal amount equal to the unpaid principal amount of the surrendered Note. Each such new Note shall be payable to such Person as such Holder may request and shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit 1. Each such new Note
shall be dated and bear interest from the date to which interest shall have been paid on the surrendered Note or dated the date of the surrendered Note if no interest shall have been paid thereon. The Company may require payment of a sum sufficient
to cover any stamp tax or governmental charge imposed in respect of any such transfer of Notes. Notes shall not be transferred in denominations of less than $1,000,000, provided that if necessary to enable the registration of transfer by a Holder of
its entire holding of Notes, one Note may be in a denomination of less than $1,000,000. Any transferee, by its acceptance of a Note registered in its name (or the name of its nominee), shall be deemed to have made the representations set forth in
Section 6.1 and Section 6.2. 
 (b) Each Holder hereby agrees that it will not offer for sale or sell any of its Notes or
disclose any Confidential Information to any prospective transferee of the Notes, other than to an Affiliate, or to another Holder without first delivering written notice to the Company (a “Right of First Offer Notice”) of its
intent to sell such Notes and disclose such Confidential Information. Such Right of First Offer Notice shall contain a reasonably detailed description of the proposed terms of such sale, including, without limitation, the proposed purchase price
(the “Proposed Purchase Price”) for such Notes and the names of up to ten prospective purchasers. If the Company so desires it may, within 5 Business Days of the receipt of such Right of First Offer Notice, inform such Holder in
writing of its intent to purchase, or have an Affiliate or Institutional Investor designated by the Company purchase, such Notes (a “Purchase Notice”) from the Holder delivering such Right of First Offer Notice at the Proposed
Purchase Price, provided, however, that if at such time a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Company shall not purchase, and shall not allow any Affiliate or Institutional Investor designated by the Company to
purchase, the Notes of the Holder delivering such Right of First Offer Notice. The aggregate principal amount of the Notes specified in such Purchase Notice shall be purchased by the Company, or such Affiliate or Institutional Investor, for the
Proposed Purchase Price, together with accrued interest on such Notes to the purchase date, on the date specified by the Company in such Purchase Notice, which shall be not more than 30 days following delivery of such Purchase Notice. If a Holder
does not receive a Purchase Notice from the Company within 5 Business Days after the delivery of a Right of First Offer Notice to the Company, such Holder shall have the right to sell its Notes identified in such Right of First Offer Notice to one
or more of the prospective purchasers identified in such Right of First Offer Notice for a price which is not less than the Proposed Purchase Price identified in such Right of First Offer Notice for a period of 120 days from the date of such Right
of First Offer Notice. In the event that the prospective purchasers identified by a Holder in a Right of First Offer Notice shall decline to purchase the Notes within such 120 day period, then the Holder may identify up to 10 additional
Institutional Investors through a new Right of First Offer Notice. 
 Section 13.3 Replacement of Notes. Upon receipt by the
Company at the address and to the attention of the designated officer (all as specified in Section 18(iii)) of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the ownership of and the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any Note (which
evidence shall be, in the case of an Institutional Investor, notice from such Institutional Investor of such ownership and such loss, theft, destruction or mutilation), and 

(a) in the case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it (provided that if the Holder of such Note is, or is
a nominee for, an original Purchaser or another Holder of a Note with a minimum net worth of at least $100,000,000 or a Qualified Institutional Buyer, such Person’s own unsecured agreement of indemnity shall be deemed to be satisfactory), or

 (b) in the case of mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation thereof, 

  
 ANNEX A-41

 (Amended and Restated Note Purchase Agreement) 

 within ten Business Days thereafter, the Company at its own expense shall execute and deliver, in lieu thereof, a
new Note, dated and bearing interest from the date to which interest shall have been paid on such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Note or dated the date of such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Note if no interest shall have been paid
thereon. 
 SECTION 14. PAYMENTS ON NOTES. 

Section 14.1 Place of Payment. Subject to Section 14.2, payments of principal, Yield-Maintenance Amount, if any, and
interest becoming due and payable on the Notes shall be made in New York City, New York at the principal office of JPMorgan Chase Bank National Association in such jurisdiction. The Company may at any time, by notice to each Holder of a Note, change
the place of payment of the Notes so long as such place of payment shall be either the principal office of the Company in such jurisdiction or the principal office of a bank or trust company in such jurisdiction. 

Section 14.2 Home Office Payment. So long as any Purchaser or its nominee shall be the Holder of any Note, and notwithstanding
anything contained in Section 14.1 or in such Note to the contrary, the Company will pay all sums becoming due on such Note for principal, Yield-Maintenance Amount, if any, and interest by the method and at the address specified for such
purpose below such Purchaser’s name in Schedule A, or by such other method or at such other address as such Purchaser shall have from time to time specified to the Company in writing for such purpose, without the presentation or
surrender of such Note or the making of any notation thereon, except that upon written request of the Company made concurrently with or reasonably promptly after payment or prepayment in full of any Note, such Purchaser shall surrender such Note for
cancellation, reasonably promptly after any such request, to the Company at its principal executive office or at the place of payment most recently designated by the Company pursuant to Section 14.1. Prior to any sale or other
disposition of any Note held by a Purchaser or its nominee, such Purchaser will, at its election, either endorse thereon the amount of principal paid thereon and the last date to which interest has been paid thereon or surrender such Note to the
Company in exchange for a new Note or Notes pursuant to Section 13.2. The Company will afford the benefits of this Section 14.2 to any Institutional Investor that is the direct or indirect transferee of any Note purchased by
a Purchaser under this Agreement and that has made the same agreement relating to such Note as the Purchasers have made in this Section 14.2. 

SECTION 15. EXPENSES, ETC.

Holders, local or other counsel) incurred by the Purchasers and each other Holder of a Note in connection with such transactions and in connection with any amendments, waivers or consents under

any, retained by a Purchaser or other Holder in connection with its purchase of the Notes). 
 Section 15.2 Survival. The
obligations of the Company under this Section 15 will survive the payment or transfer of any Note, the enforcement, amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or the Notes, and the termination of this Agreement. 

SECTION 16. SURVIVAL OF REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES; ENTIRE AGREEMENT. 

All representations and warranties contained herein shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Notes, the purchase or
transfer by any Purchaser of any Note or portion thereof or interest therein and the payment of any Note, and may be relied upon by any subsequent Holder of a Note, regardless of any investigation made at any time by or on behalf of such Purchaser
or any other Holder of a Note; provided that no representation or warranty shall be deemed to be made as of any time other than the date of execution and delivery of this Agreement or such other document, certificate, instrument or agreement
containing such representation or warranty. All statements contained in any certificate or other instrument delivered by or on behalf of the Company pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed representations and warranties of the Company under this
Agreement. Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement and the Notes embody the entire agreement and understanding between each Purchaser and the Company and supersede all prior agreements and understandings relating to the subject matter
hereof. 
 SECTION 17. AMENDMENT AND WAIVER. 

Section 17.1 Requirements. This Agreement and the Notes may be amended, and the observance of any term hereof or of the Notes may
be waived (either retroactively or prospectively), with (and only with) the written consent of the Company and the Required Holders, except that (a) no amendment or waiver of any of the provisions of Section 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 or
21 hereof, or any defined term (as it is used therein), will be effective as to any Purchaser unless consented to by such Purchaser in writing, and (b) no such amendment or waiver may, without the written consent of the Holder of each

 Section 17.2 Solicitation of
Holders of Notes. 
 (a) Solicitation. The Company will provide each Holder of the Notes (irrespective of the amount of Notes
then owned by it) with sufficient information, sufficiently far in advance of the date a decision is required, to enable such Holder to make an informed and considered decision with respect to any proposed amendment, waiver or consent in respect of
any of the provisions hereof or of the Notes. The Company will deliver executed or true and correct copies of each amendment, waiver or consent effected pursuant to the provisions of this Section 17 to each Holder of outstanding Notes
promptly following the date on which it is executed and delivered by, or receives the consent or approval of, the requisite Holders of Notes.

additional interest, fee or otherwise, or grant any security or provide other credit support, to any Holder of Notes as consideration for or as an inducement to the entering into by any Holder of Notes of any waiver or amendment of any of the terms
and provisions hereof unless such remuneration is concurrently paid, or security is concurrently granted or other credit support concurrently provided, on the same terms, ratably to each Holder of Notes then outstanding even if such Holder did not
consent to such waiver or amendment. 
 Section 17.3 Binding Effect, etc. Any amendment or waiver consented to as provided in
this Section 17 applies equally to all Holders of Notes and is binding upon them and upon each future Holder of any Note and upon the Company without regard to whether such Note has been marked to indicate such amendment or waiver. No
such amendment or waiver will extend to or affect any obligation, covenant, agreement, Default or Event of Default not expressly amended or waived or impair any right consequent thereon. No course of dealing between the Company and the Holder of any
Note nor any delay in exercising any rights hereunder or under any Note shall operate as a waiver of any rights of any Holder of such Note. As used herein, the term “this Agreement” and references thereto shall mean this Agreement as it
may from time to time be amended or supplemented. 
 Section 17.4 Notes Held by Company, etc. Solely for the purpose of
determining whether the Holders of the requisite percentage of the aggregate principal amount of Notes then outstanding approved or consented to any amendment, waiver or consent to be given under this Agreement or the Notes, or have directed the
taking of any action provided herein or in the Notes to be taken upon the direction of the Holders of a specified percentage of the aggregate principal amount of Notes then outstanding, Notes directly or indirectly owned by the Company or any of its
Affiliates shall be deemed not to be outstanding.

delivered to such Holder under this Agreement or requested by such Holder (other than a Holder that is a party to this Agreement or its nominee), such Holder will enter into an agreement with the Company embodying the provisions of this Section 20.

 ANNEX A-46

 (Amended and Restated Note Purchase Agreement) 

 
Affiliate is so substituted as a Purchaser hereunder and such Affiliate thereafter transfers to such original Purchaser all of the Notes then held by such Affiliate, upon receipt by the Company
of notice of such transfer, any reference to such Affiliate as a “Purchaser” in this Agreement (other than in this Section 21), shall no longer be deemed to refer to such Affiliate, but shall refer to such original Purchaser,
and such original Purchaser shall again have all the rights of an original Holder of the Notes under this Agreement. 
 SECTION 22. MISCELLANEOUS.

 Section 22.1 Successors and Assigns. All covenants and other agreements contained in this Agreement by or on behalf of any
of the parties hereto bind and inure to the benefit of their respective successors and assigns (including, without limitation, any subsequent Holder of a Note) whether so expressed or not. 

Section 22.2 Payments Due on Non-Business Days. Anything in this Agreement or the Notes to the contrary notwithstanding (but

that is due on a date other than a Business Day shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day without including the additional days elapsed in the computation of the interest payable on such next succeeding Business Day; provided that if the

Section 22.4 Severability. Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to
such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall (to the full extent permitted by
law) not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. 
 Section 22.5 Construction, etc. Each
covenant contained herein shall be construed (absent express provision to the contrary) as being independent of each other covenant contained herein, so that compliance with any one covenant shall not (absent such an express contrary provision) be
deemed to excuse compliance with any other covenant. Where any provision herein refers to action to be taken by any Person, or which such Person is prohibited from taking, such provision shall be applicable whether such action is taken directly or
