DECLARATION OF TRUST 
 Section 2.1 Creation of Trust. Upon the execution of this Agreement by the parties hereto, there is hereby created a common law trust under the laws of the State of Delaware that is referred to
herein as the “Trust”, for the benefit of the Beneficiaries, which common law trust shall be irrevocable except as expressly provided in Article VI. 
 Section 2.2 Appointment of Trustee. Grantor hereby appoints The Goldman Sachs Trust Company of Delaware as trustee of the Trust, and the Trustee hereby accepts such appointment, in accordance with
the terms and conditions set forth herein. 
 Section 2.3 Purpose of Trust . The sole purpose of the Trust is to
(i) hold the Trust Units and, following the Effective Time, the Trust Shares; (ii) exchange or distribute the Trust Shares in connection with an Exchange Offer or Trust Distribution, as the case may be, subject to the terms and conditions
set forth herein; (iii) hold the Expense Pre-Funded Amount, Trust Income and Dividend Proceeds; and (iv) protect and conserve the Trust property for the benefit of the Beneficiaries. The Trust shall hold no assets other than (x) the
Trust Units and, following the Effective Time, the Trust Shares, (y) cash consisting of the Expense Pre-Funded Amount or from Trust Income and (z) Dividend Proceeds. 
 Section 2.4 Transfer to the Trust; Acceptance by Trustee. On the Closing Date and prior to the Effective Time, Grantor shall cause to be transferred to the Trustee, as trustee of the Trust,
absolutely and unconditionally, all right, title and interest in and to the Trust Units. TransCo shall record, or shall cause to be recorded, such transfer in its equity transfer ledger. In connection with such transfer, Grantor shall deliver to the
Trustee a certificate representing the Trust Units and evidencing the Trust’s ownership thereof. Prior to the Merger, the Trustee shall deliver such certificate to the exchange agent (as defined in the Merger Agreement,) and as contemplated by
Section 1.10 of the Merger Agreement, such exchange agent will hold the certificate for the account of the Trust. As provided in the Merger Agreement, the Trust Units will convert to Trust Shares at the Effective Time and the Trust shall be the
legal owner of the Trust Shares. The Trustee hereby declares that it will hold the Trust Units and, after the Effective Time, the Trust Shares, in trust hereunder for the exclusive use and benefit of the Beneficiaries and for the purposes, and
subject to the terms and conditions, set forth herein. 

  
 6 

 Section 2.5 Beneficiaries. Grantor and the Grantor Shareholders shall be the
beneficiaries of the Trust (the “Beneficiaries”); provided, however, that in no event shall any Trust Shares be Transferred to Grantor. Each Beneficiary’s rights and interest in the Trust shall be limited to the exclusive
rights expressly set forth in this Agreement. 
 Section 2.6 Restrictions on Transfer by Grantor. Grantor shall not
Transfer all or any portion of its beneficial interest in (including in the income or principal of) the Trust. Any such prohibited Transfer is void ab initio. For the avoidance of doubt, an Exchange Offer, Trust Distribution or any transfer
or other disposition of Grantor Shares by any Grantor Shareholder will not be considered a Transfer by the Grantor for purposes of this Section 2.6. 
 Section 2.7 Grantor Shareholders’ Interest. 
 (a) Each Grantor
Shareholder’s beneficial interest in the Trust is indivisible from such Grantor Shareholder’s pro rata ownership of Grantor Shares and cannot be Transferred without simultaneously Transferring to the same transferee the underlying Grantor
Shares held by such Grantor Shareholder. Accordingly, the Trustee shall not, directly or indirectly, voluntarily or involuntarily, by operation of law or otherwise, recognize any Transfer of all or any portion of the beneficial interest of any
Grantor Shareholder in (including in the income or principal of) the Trust except in connection with the simultaneous Transfer to the same transferee of the underlying Grantor Shares held by such Grantor Shareholder, and any such prohibited Transfer
is void ab initio. The beneficial interests in the Trust may be Transferred only in connection with the transfer of the underlying Grantor Shares held by such Grantor Shareholder, and in connection with any such underlying Transfer of Grantor
Shares by a Grantor Shareholder, the corresponding beneficial interests in the Trust held by such Grantor Shareholder shall, automatically and without any action required of any person or entity, be Transferred to such transferee of Grantor Shares.
Grantor Shares while held by Grantor or any of its subsidiaries shall have no beneficial interests in the Trust. 
 (b)
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each Grantor Shareholder’s rights to receive Trust Shares in a Trust Distribution, if any, will be conclusively established by such Grantor Shareholder’s ownership of Grantor Shares as of
the Record Date for such Trust Distribution as reflected in the books and records of Grantor; in no event shall any Grantor Shareholder have any right (i) to the Trust Shares except in connection with a Trust Distribution or by participating in
an Exchange Offer or (ii) to enforce any term or provision of this Agreement against ITC. In the event, under the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, a Trust Distribution was required to occur but such Trust Distribution
failed to occur, the right to enforce any term or provision of this Agreement shall not arise until after the last date by which a Trust Distribution was required to occur; provided however, that the sole remedy in such case shall be
to cause the Trustee to effectuate such Trust Distribution in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement to the extent possible. 
 (c) Each Grantor Shareholder’s ability to receive Trust Shares in an Exchange Offer shall be according to the terms and conditions of such Exchange Offer. 

Section 2.8 Effectiveness of the Agreement. This Agreement shall be effective upon the Distribution Date (the “Trust
Effective Time”).

 Section 2.9 Income. 

(a) To the extent the Trust earns income, other than any Dividend Proceeds as described in Section 2.9(b) (“Trust
Income”), the Trust shall be entitled to receive and shall hold such Trust Income in trust hereunder and to elect, in the Trustee’s sole discretion, to either (i) donate such Trust Income to a Qualified Charity selected by the
Trustee in its sole discretion or (ii) hold such Trust Income for the benefit of Grantor and distribute such Trust Income to Grantor upon termination of the Trust. Regardless of whether or not Trust Income has been received by the Trust, the
Trustee shall make and notify Grantor of the Trustee’s election within 30 days after the Trust Effective Time and such election shall apply to all Trust Income received by the Trust. 

(b) To the extent ITC declares and pays any dividends on shares of ITC Common Stock while the Trust is the holder of record of the Trust
Shares on the record date for any such dividend (together with any interest income incurred on such dividends (if any), “Dividend Proceeds”), the Trust shall be entitled to receive and shall hold such Dividend Proceeds in trust
hereunder and to elect, in the Trustee’s sole discretion, to either (i) donate such Dividend Proceeds to a Qualified Charity selected by the Trustee in its sole discretion or (ii) hold such Dividend Proceeds for the benefit of the
Grantor Shareholders and distribute such Dividend Proceeds in connection with any Exchange Offer or Trust Distribution as set forth in Section 2.9(c). Regardless of whether or not Dividend Proceeds have been received by the Trust, the
Trustee shall make and notify Grantor of the Trustee’s election within 30 days after the Trust Effective Time and such election shall apply to all Dividend Proceeds received by the Trust. 

(c) If the Trustee elects pursuant to Section 2.9(b)(ii) to hold Dividend Proceeds for the benefit of Grantor Shareholders, in
the event of an Exchange Offer, at the Exchange Offer Closing each participating Grantor Shareholder shall receive from the Trust a portion of the aggregate Dividend Proceeds on a pro rata basis in an amount equal to the aggregate Dividend Proceeds
multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of Trust Shares such Grantor Shareholder will receive in such Exchange Offer and the denominator of which is the total number of Trust Shares held by the Trust (it being understood that
if not all of the Trust Shares are exchanged in such Exchange Offer that the Trust shall retain, for distribution in any Trust Distribution, any remaining Dividend Proceeds); provided, however, that no Grantor Shareholder shall be entitled to
receive any Dividend Proceeds if the aggregate amount of such Dividend Proceeds payable on all of the Grantor Shares held by such Grantor Shareholder is less than $0.01 (a “De Minimis Dividend”). In the event of any Trust
Distribution, each participating Grantor Shareholder on the Record Date shall receive a portion of the remaining Dividend Proceeds on a pro rata basis based on the total number of Grantor Shares held by such Grantor Shareholder on the Record Date;
provided, however, that no Grantor Shareholder shall be entitled to receive any Dividend Proceeds if the aggregate amount of such Dividend Proceeds payable on all of the Grantor Shares held by such Grantor Shareholder is less than a De Minimis
Dividend. Upon completion of any Trust Distribution, the Trustee shall promptly donate the aggregate amount of De Minimis Dividends to a Qualified Charity selected by the Trustee in its sole discretion. 

  
 8 

 (d) While held by the Trust, Dividend Proceeds and Trust Income shall be maintained in
separate accounts and shall not be commingled with the other. 
 (e) All income of the Trust shall be taxable to Grantor.

 ARTICLE III 
 ADMINISTRATION OF THE TRUST 
 Section 3.1 Voting. 

(a) The Trustee shall hold the Trust Units and, following the Effective Time, the Trust Shares received in connection with the Trust Units
under the terms and conditions of this Agreement. The Trustee shall, and is hereby fully and exclusively empowered, authorized and obligated to, execute and deliver an irrevocable proxy in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, granting the
proxy or proxies named therein to cause the Trust Units or Trust Shares, as the case may be, to be present at each meeting of holders of Trust Units or shareholders of ITC, as the case may be, and voted or consented, for the term of this Agreement,
in the same proportion as all voting securities of TransCo or ITC, as applicable, other than the Trust Units or the Trust Shares, as the case may be, are voted or consented in respect of any and all matters on which such Trust Units or Trust Shares,
as the case may be, are entitled to vote under the limited liability company agreement of TransCo or the articles of incorporation of ITC, as the case may be, or applicable Law, including the election of directors, any merger or consolidation, the
sale of all or substantially all of TransCo or ITC’s assets, as the case may be, a dissolution of TransCo or ITC, as the case may be, and any amendments to TransCo’s certificate of formation or limited liability company agreement or
ITC’s articles of incorporation, as the case may be. TransCo or ITC, as the case may be, shall deliver written notice to the Trustee of any such matters on which the Trust Units or Trust Shares are entitled to vote. The Trustee shall not vote
the Trust Units or Trust Shares or enter into any agreement in respect of voting the Trust Units or Trust Shares with any person other than through this Agreement and the proxy attached hereto as Exhibit A. The Trustee (i) shall have the
right to waive notice of any meeting of TransCo Common Unit holders of TransCo or stockholders of ITC in respect of such Trust Units or Trust Shares, as the case may be, and (ii) may exercise any power or perform any act hereunder by an agent
or attorney duly authorized and appointed by it. 
 (b) Except as expressly provided in Section 1.08 of the Merger
Agreement, for so long as the Trust holds any Trust Units or Trust Shares, Grantor shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates to not, take any actions with the intent of directly or indirectly influencing the vote of the holders of TransCo Common
Units or shares of ITC common stock on any matters on which such unit holders or stockholders, as applicable, are entitled to vote. 
 Section 3.2 Regulatory Filings. As directed in writing by Grantor or ITC, the Trustee shall make all required filings with any regulatory agencies, including any statements with the SEC containing
the information required by Schedules 13D or 13G, as applicable, any filings with the SEC required by Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and any filings with any other federal or state regulatory agency. In the event
of any conflicting 

  
 9 

 
direction by Grantor or ITC pursuant to this Section 3.2, Grantor’s direction shall control. The Trustee shall provide a reasonable opportunity for Grantor and ITC to review and
comment on any such filings prior to submission of such filings. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Trustee shall not be required to make any filings or include information in such filings that it deems in its reasonable judgment to be inconsistent
with or in violation of applicable Law. 
 Section 3.3 Access to Certain Documentation. Subject to
Section 8.18, the Trustee shall provide to any federal, state or local or self-regulatory authority that may exercise authority over Grantor or ITC (or any of their Affiliates) access to the documentation regarding this Agreement, the
Trust Units and Trust Shares required by applicable Law or requested by such authority. Such access shall be afforded only during normal business hours at the offices of the Trustee designated by it. The Trustee shall promptly provide notice to
Grantor and ITC of any request that it receives for access to the documentation regarding the Trust Units and Trust Shares from any such authority. 
 ARTICLE IV 
 TRANSFER TO TRUST, EXCHANGE OFFERS AND DISTRIBUTIONS

 Section 4.1 Transfer to Trust. 
 (a) Grantor shall contribute the Trust Units to the Trust on the Closing Date and prior to the Effective Time. Grantor represents that, in the event the record date for any regular or special meeting or
written consent of the holders of TransCo Common Units were to fall in the period between the Distribution Date and the Effective Time, Grantor would vote or consent the Trust Units in the same proportion as all other TransCo Common Units are voted
or consented. 
 (b) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each of the Trustee and Grantor shall take all
actions required of it under this Agreement necessary to effectuate a Mandatory Distribution if any Trust Shares remain in the Trust on the twentieth Business Day prior to the date that is six months following the Trust Effective Time (the
“Trust Expiration Date”); provided, however, that if on such date an Exchange Offer is currently being conducted and is reasonably expected to be consummated prior to the Trust Expiration Date, nothing in the foregoing
shall require Grantor or the Trustee to terminate such Exchange Offer; provided, further, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, if such Exchange Offer does not close due to the failure of the Offer Conditions to be satisfied on the
anticipated Exchange Offer Closing Date (or if such Exchange Offer is terminated by Grantor pursuant to Section 4.3(e) within twenty (20) Business Days of the then in effect Trust Expiration Date), then the Exchange Offer shall be
terminated and, in order to permit a Mandatory Distribution pursuant to Section 4.4, the then in effect Trust Expiration Date shall be extended twenty (20) Business Days from the date such Exchange Offer is terminated. If a Demand
Suspension (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) occurs (or continues to occur) within 60 days of the Trust Expiration Date, the Trust Expiration Date shall be extended until 60 days after such Demand Suspension has been terminated.

  
 10 

 Section 4.2 No Transfer. The Trustee shall be the legal owner of the Trust Units and,
following the Effective Time, the Trust Shares and shall not have the authority to, and shall not, Transfer, or direct the Transfer of, any of the Trust Shares except pursuant to Section 4.3, Section 4.4,
Section 4.5 or Section 4.6 or as otherwise provided hereunder. Any such prohibited Transfer shall be void ab initio, and ITC shall not record on its books any such prohibited Transfer. For the avoidance of doubt, in no
event shall the Trustee Transfer any Trust Shares to Grantor or to any Affiliate of Grantor (except for any Affiliate of the Grantor who otherwise receives shares as a Grantor Shareholder in any Trust Distribution or as a participant in any Exchange
Offer). All Trust Units and, following the Effective Time, Trust Shares, if certificated, shall bear the following legend prior to the date they are exchanged or distributed in connection with any Exchange Offer or Trust Distribution, as the case
may be (or, if uncertificated, should bear similar notations in TransCo’s or ITC’s, as applicable, equity transfer ledgers): 
 The sale or other transfer of the [shares of stock][units] represented by this certificate, whether voluntary, involuntary or by operation of law, is subject to certain restrictions on transfer set forth
in the Trust Agreement (the “Trust Agreement”), dated [            ,        ], by and among Entergy Corporation, ITC Holdings Corp., [Mid
South TransCo LLC] and [            ]. A copy of the Trust Agreement may be obtained from the Secretary of ITC Holdings Corp. 

Section 4.3 Trust Exchange Offers. 
 (a) Upon written notice from Grantor, the Trustee shall use reasonable best efforts to promptly commence (within the meaning of Rule 14d-2 under the Exchange Act) an Exchange Offer in accordance with and
subject to the conditions of this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement (including, without limitation, the satisfaction by ITC of its obligations under Section 4 of the Registration Rights Agreement that are to be satisfied at or
prior to commencement of an Exchange Offer). In connection with any Exchange Offer, the obligations of the Trustee to accept for payment any Grantor Shares validly tendered and not properly withdrawn on or prior to the expiration of the Exchange
Offer shall be subject to the conditions set forth in Annex I to this Agreement (the “Offer Conditions”). Except as provided in Section 4.3(f), the Offer Conditions may not be waived by the Trustee or Grantor. Subject to
the Offer Conditions, the Trustee shall, in accordance with the irrevocable terms of the Exchange Offer set forth in Annex II to this Agreement (the “Irrevocable Terms”), consummate the Exchange Offer and accept for payment at the
closing of any Exchange Offer (the “Exchange Offer Closing”) all Grantor Shares validly tendered and not withdrawn pursuant to the Exchange Offer and promptly deliver to each tendering Grantor Shareholder the number of Trust Shares
such tendering Grantor Shareholder is entitled to pursuant to Section 4.3(c). The Exchange Offer shall initially be scheduled to expire at midnight, New York City time, on the 20th Business Day (calculated as set forth in Rule 14d-1(g)(3) under the Exchange Act) following the commencement of the
Exchange Offer; provided, however, that if on the scheduled expiration date of the Exchange Offer or any subsequent scheduled expiration date of the Exchange Offer (as extended in accordance with this Agreement) all conditions to the
Exchange Offer shall not have been satisfied, the Trustee shall extend the Exchange Offer for one or more periods of time of up to 10 Business Days each as the Trustee may determine in order to permit the satisfaction of the Offer Conditions. In no
event shall the Trustee extend the Exchange Offer past the Trust Expiration Date. Subject to the conditions of this Agreement, Grantor and the Trustee each shall take all necessary action to facilitate an Exchange Offer and, if not otherwise
terminated as provided herein, to cause the Exchange Offer Closing to occur promptly (and, in no event later than three trading days following the expiration of the Exchange Offer period). 

  
 11 

 (b) Subject to Section 4.3(c) below, each tendering Grantor Shareholder shall be
entitled at the Exchange Offer Closing to a number of Trust Shares equal to the product of (x) the number of Grantor Shares validly tendered by such Grantor Shareholder and not properly withdrawn and accepted in the Exchange Offer and (y), the
lesser of, (A) a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the simple arithmetic average of the daily VWAP of Grantor Shares over the Averaging Period, and the denominator of which shall be the product of (1) the simple arithmetic average
of the daily VWAP of ITC Common Stock over the Averaging Period and (2) the difference of one (1) minus the Discount (such fraction, the “Exchange Ratio”) or (B) the upper limit exchange ratio set forth in Annex II
(the “Upper Limit”). In no event shall the Exchange Ratio exceed the Upper Limit. Throughout the Exchange Offer period, the Trustee shall calculate the Exchange Ratio at the close of trading each trading day. The Trustee shall
provide a toll free number that Grantor Shareholders can use to obtain daily indicative Exchange Ratios calculated as of the close of the preceding trading day and, after determination of the final Exchange Ratio, the final Exchange Ratio. No later
than 9:30 a.m. on the day after the Averaging Period, Grantor will publish the final Exchange Ratio (including an announcement whether the limit on the Exchange Ratio described above is in effect) in a press release and Grantor and the Trustee will
include such information in an amendment to the Schedule TO. In addition to the foregoing, the Trustee will disclose in the applicable Offer Documents the dollar amount of Trust Shares to be exchanged for each $1.00 of Grantor Shares tendered and
accepted in the Exchange Offer based on the Discount, subject to the Upper Limit. For purposes of this Agreement, (i) “Averaging Period” shall mean the three day period ending on and including the second trading day preceding
the expiration date of the Exchange Offer (as it may be extended pursuant to this Agreement); (ii) “VWAP” shall mean the daily volume weighted average pricing of the applicable stock on the New York Stock Exchange beginning at
9:30 a.m., New York City time (or the then-official open of trading) and ending at 4:00 p.m., New York City time (or the then-official close of trading), in each case as calculated by the Trustee and (iii) “Discount” shall mean
the percentage set forth on Annex II. All calculations of the Exchange Ratio shall be made to four (4) decimal places. 

(c) If, upon the expiration of the Exchange Offer, Grantor Shareholders have validly tendered more Grantor Shares than the amount of Trust
Shares held by the Trust that can be exchanged based on the Exchange Ratio (or, if applicable, the Upper Limit), the Trustee will accept for exchange the Grantor Shares validly tendered and not withdrawn by each tendering Grantor Shareholder on a
pro rata basis (other than with respect to odd-lot tenders). The Trustee shall calculate a “Proration Factor,” which shall equal (i) the total number of Grantor Shares that the Trustee is able to accept (taking into account the
Exchange Ratio (or, if applicable, the Upper Limit) and the total number of Trust Shares) divided by (ii) the total number of Grantor Shares validly tendered and not withdrawn (in all cases after adjustment for off-lot tenders that are not
subject to proration). Any Grantor Shareholder of less than 100 Grantor Shares who validly tenders all of its Grantor Shares and elects not to be subject to proration shall have all of its Grantor Shares exchanged. Each other Grantor Shareholder
shall have a number of Grantor Shares exchanged equal to the product of (x) the number of Grantor Shares validly tendered and not withdrawn and (y) the Proration Factor. 

  
 12 

 (d) On the date an Exchange Offer is commenced, Grantor and Trustee shall file with the SEC
a Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO (or, if based upon the advice of their respective counsel, the Exchange Offer is not subject to Rule 13e-4 or Regulation 14D of the Exchange Act, a disclosure document containing substantially the same
information required in a Schedule TO) (such document, the “Schedule TO”) with respect to the Exchange Offer, which shall include the offer to exchange prospectus in the registration statement filed by ITC pursuant to the
Registration Rights Agreement and form of the letter of transmittal and any other documents that Grantor and/or the Trustee reasonably determined are necessary or advisable in connection with the Exchange Offer (collectively, together with any
amendments and supplements thereto, the “Offer Documents”). Subject to ITC’s compliance with its requirements under the Registration Rights Agreement, the Trustee and Grantor shall cause the Offer Documents to be disseminated
to Grantor Shareholders as required by applicable U.S. federal securities laws. Each of Grantor and ITC (if applicable under the Registration Rights Agreement) and Trustee, to the extent explicitly provided in writing by Trustee for use in the Offer
Documents, agree to promptly correct any information provided by it for use in the Offer Documents if it shall have become false or misleading in any material respect or as otherwise required by applicable Law. Each of the Trustee, Grantor and ITC
(if applicable under the Registration Rights Agreement) agree to take all steps necessary to cause the Offer Documents as so corrected to be filed with the SEC and each of the Trustee and Grantor agree to disseminate such corrected Offer Documents
to Grantor Shareholders to the extent required by applicable Law. 
 (e) Subject to Section 4.1(b), prior to the end
of the Exchange Offer period, the Trustee shall have the right to terminate or delay any Exchange Offer if the Trustee believes such termination or delay is reasonably necessary to prevent any violation of applicable Law (including, without
limitation, Rule 13e-4, Regulation 14D and Regulation 14E of the Exchange Act) in any material respect. Prior to the end of the Exchange Offer period, Grantor shall have the right to direct the Trustee in writing to terminate any Exchange Offer if
Grantor reasonably believes that any Offer Condition is not reasonably likely to be satisfied within a reasonable time period. 

(f) In response to any SEC comment letter or in connection with any other communications with the staff of the SEC, the Grantor shall have
the right to direct the Trustee to modify, amend or supplement the procedures in this Section 4.3 to the extent reasonably necessary to comply or respond to such comments or communications, or take any other action in connection with the
foregoing reasonably necessary to ensure that the Exchange Offer complies in all material respects with applicable Law (including, without limitation, Rule 13e-4, Regulation 14D and Regulation 14E of the Exchange Act); provided that nothing in this
Section 4.3(f) shall be construed to permit the Trustee to modify, amend or waive any Irrevocable Term or any Offer Condition (except the Grantor shall have the right to direct the Trustee to modify, amend or remove an Offer Condition in
response to any such letter or communications but only to the extent reasonably necessary to comply with or respond to such letter or communications to ensure that the Exchange Offer complies in all material respects with applicable law (including,
without limitation, Rule 13e-4, Regulation 14D and Regulation 14E of the Exchange Act)). 

  
 13 

 (g) Subject to Section 4.1(b), in the event any Exchange Offer is delayed or
terminated by the Trustee prior to the Exchange Offer Closing pursuant to Section 4.3(e), Grantor may cause the Trustee to commence or re-commence an Exchange Offer; provided that in the event of any such delay or termination, the
Exchange Offer shall nevertheless be completed prior to the Trust Expiration Date. 
 (h) In connection with any Exchange Offer
Closing, the Trustee shall deliver notice to ITC setting forth (i) the number of Trust Shares to be transferred in connection with such Exchange Offer and (ii) any instructions with respect to the transfer of such Trust Shares and the
Trustee shall take all action necessary to facilitate the exchange of such Trust Shares with validly accepted Grantor Shares. ITC shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause its stock transfer agent to deliver, or authorize the transfer of,
any Trust Shares to the Exchange Agent in connection with any Exchange Offer Closing. 
 (i) All Grantor Shares tendered by
Grantor Shareholders in any Exchange Offer shall be delivered to the Trustee by the Exchange Agent. Promptly thereafter, the Trust shall deliver to Grantor, without any right of offset, such Grantor Shares and such Grantor Shares shall be retired or
used as treasury shares, as determined by Grantor. The Trustee, as trustee of the Trust, shall have no beneficial interest in any such Grantor Shares. 
 (j) Each tendering Grantor Shareholder who, after aggregating the number of Trust Shares (or fractions thereof) to which such Grantor Shareholder otherwise would be entitled to at the Exchange Offer
Closing, would receive a fraction of a Trust Share in the Exchange Offer will receive cash in lieu of fractional shares from the Exchange Agent. Fractional Trust Shares will not be delivered in an Exchange Offer or credited to book-entry accounts.
The Exchange Agent shall, as soon as practicable after an Exchange Offer, and in compliance with applicable federal securities laws, (i) aggregate all such fractional shares into whole shares and sell whole shares obtained thereby in open
market transactions at then prevailing trading prices on behalf of all tendering Grantor Shareholders who would otherwise be entitled to fractional share interests, and (ii) distribute to each such Grantor Shareholder such Grantor
Shareholder’s ratable share of the net proceeds of such sale, based upon the average gross selling price per Trust Share after making appropriate deductions for any amount required to be withheld for United States federal income tax purposes.
Grantor shall bear the cost of brokerage fees and transfer taxes (if any) incurred in connection with these sales of fractional shares, which sales shall occur as soon after the Exchange Offer Closing as practicable and as determined by the Exchange
Agent. None of Grantor, ITC, the Trustee or the Exchange Agent will guarantee any minimum sale price for the fractional Trust Shares. None of Grantor, ITC, the Trustee or the Exchange Agent will pay any interest on proceeds from the sale of
fractional Trust Shares. The Exchange Agent shall have the sole discretion to select the broker-dealers through which to sell the aggregated fractional Trust Shares and to determine when, how and at what price to sell such shares. Neither the
Exchange Agent nor the selected broker-dealer shall be Affiliates of Grantor or ITC. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall any Grantor Shareholder have any right to any cash in lieu of fractional Trust Shares if the aggregate amount of
all such cash such Grantor Shareholder is entitled to is less than $0.01 (an “Exchange Offer De Minimis Payment”). Upon completion of any Exchange Offer, the Trustee shall promptly donate the aggregate amount of Exchange Offer De
Minimis Payments to a Qualified Charity selected by the Trustee in its sole discretion. 

  
 14 

 (k) Upon the completion of the Exchange Offer Closing, any Trust Shares that are not
subscribed for in the Exchange Offer must be distributed to Grantor Shareholders in a Trust Distribution (the “Exchange Offer Distribution”). Subject to applicable Law, the Exchange Offer Trust Distribution shall take place on the
date of the Exchange Offer Closing, or as immediately practicable thereafter (such date, the “Exchange Offer Distribution Date”) pursuant to the provisions of Section 4.6. The Record Date for the Exchange Offer Trust
Distribution shall be the date of the Exchange Offer Closing immediately following the time at which the validly tendered shares of Grantor Shares are accepted for payment in the Exchange Offer. 

(l) If Grantor terminates any Exchange Offer pursuant to Section 4.3(e), the Trustee shall distribute any Trust Shares held in
the Trust to Grantor Shareholders in a Trust Distribution (the “Accelerated Trust Distribution”). Subject to any applicable Law, the Accelerated Trust Distribution shall take place on a date prior to the Trust Expiration Date as
determined by Grantor, (such date, the “Accelerated Trust Distribution Date”) pursuant to the provisions of Section 4.6, but subject to the provisions below. The Record Date for the Accelerated Trust Distribution shall
be the date determined by Grantor; provided that the record date for the Accelerated Trust Distribution shall be the first Business Day that is ten (10) calendar days prior to the Accelerated Trust Distribution Date; and provided,
further, that Grantor must provide at least ten (10) calendar days’ notice to the Trustee and ITC prior to such record date and that such record date must be (i) on a day the NYSE is open for trading and (ii) between
twenty (20) Business Days and ten (10) calendar days prior to the Accelerated Trust Distribution Date. The Trustee’s obligation to facilitate such Accelerated Trust Distribution shall be subject to the delivery of an officer’s
certificate from Grantor to the Trustee certifying that, prior to the Accelerated Trust Distribution Date of such Accelerated Trust Distribution, the following conditions have been satisfied: 

(i) an information statement that materially complies with SEC Staff Legal Bulletin #4 4.B.3.b. (an “Information
Statement”) shall have been delivered by Grantor to the Grantor Shareholders (or, if the distribution of Trust Shares in the Accelerated Trust Distribution is required to be registered under the Securities Act, a registration statement of
ITC has been filed and declared effective with respect to the Trust Shares as provided for under Section 2(b) of the Registration Rights Agreement); and 
 (ii) if required by the NYSE, an NYSE Additional Listing Application shall have been approved by the NYSE. 
 Section 4.4 Mandatory Distribution. 
 (a) In the event the Trust will hold
any Trust Shares at the Trust Expiration Date, irrespective of whether the Trustee has completed an Exchange Offer, the Trustee shall, in accordance with Section 4.6, take all necessary action to facilitate a distribution on or before
the Mandatory Distribution Date of all of the Trust Shares held in the Trust to the Grantor Shareholders of record as of the close of business on the Mandatory Record Date (such distribution, a “Mandatory Distribution”). 

  
 15 

 (b) The Trustee’s obligation to facilitate such Mandatory Distribution shall be subject
to the delivery of an officer’s certificate from Grantor to the Trustee certifying that, prior to the Mandatory Distribution Date of such Mandatory Distribution, the following conditions have been satisfied: 

(i) an Information Statement shall have been delivered by Grantor to the Grantor Shareholders (or, if the distribution of
Trust Shares in the Mandatory Distribution is required to be registered under the Securities Act, a registration statement of ITC has been filed and declared effective with respect to the Trust Shares as provided for under Section 2(b) of the
Registration Rights Agreement); and 
 (ii) if required by the NYSE, an NYSE Additional Listing Application shall
have been approved by the NYSE. 
 (c) The distribution date for the Mandatory Distribution shall be the Trust Expiration Date
(the “Mandatory Distribution Date”) and the record date for the Mandatory Distribution shall be the first Business Day that is ten (10) calendar days prior to the Trust Expiration Date (the “Mandatory Record
Date”); provided, however, that the Grantor has the sole discretion to fix an earlier record date and distribution date for the Mandatory Distribution; provided, further, however, that Grantor must provide
at least ten (10) calendar days’ notice to the Trustee and ITC prior to such record date and that such record date must be (i) on a day the NYSE is open for trading and (ii) between twenty (20) Business Days and ten
(10) calendar days prior to the Trust Expiration Date. 
 Section 4.5 Merger Event Distribution. 

(a) In the event the Trust holds any Trust Shares on a date that is one day prior to either Grantor or ITC effecting a Merger Event,
irrespective of whether Grantor has completed an Exchange Offer, the Trustee shall in accordance with Section 4.6 take all necessary action to facilitate a distribution on the Merger Event Distribution Date of all of the Trust Shares
held by the Trust to the Grantor Shareholders of record on the Merger Event Record Date at the direction of Grantor (such direction not to be withheld) or the Distribution Agent (such distribution, a “Merger Event Distribution”).

 (b) For so long as the Trust holds any Trust Shares (but for clarification, not after the Trust Expiration Date), neither
Grantor nor ITC may effect a Merger Event unless the following conditions have been satisfied: 
 (i) if either
Grantor or ITC agrees to effect a Merger Event, Grantor or ITC, as the case may be, shall have provided notice to the other parties hereto of: (A) entry into a definitive agreement to effectuate a Merger Event, such notice to be provided
immediately upon execution thereof (an “Initial Notice”) and (B) the anticipated Merger Event Distribution Date, such notice to be provided (1) at least forty-five (45) calendar days after the delivery of the Initial
Notice and (2) at least forty-five (45) calendar days prior to, and within fifty-five (55) calendar days of, such Merger Event Distribution Date; 

  
 16 

 (ii) an Information Statement shall have been delivered to the Grantor
Shareholders (or, if the distribution of Trust Shares in the Merger Event Distribution is required to be registered under the Securities Act, a registration statement of ITC has been filed and declared effective with respect to the Trust Shares as
provided for under Section 2(b) of the Registration Rights Agreement); and 
 (iii) if required by the NYSE,
an NYSE Subsequent Listing Application shall have been approved by the NYSE. 
 (c) The distribution date for a Merger Event
Distribution shall be no later than the date that is one (1) calendar day prior to the Merger Event (a “Merger Event Distribution Date”) and the record date for a Merger Event Distribution shall be no later than the first
Business Day that is ten (10) calendar days prior to the Merger Event (a “Merger Event Record Date”). 

Section 4.6 Distribution of Shares. 
 (a) As directed in writing by Grantor (such direction not to be withheld), on or prior to a Trust Distribution Date, the Trustee shall direct ITC’s stock transfer agent to deliver, or otherwise
authorize the transfer of, all of the Trust Shares to be distributed by the Trust to the Distribution Agent, and the Trustee shall authorize the Distribution Agent to distribute, on or as soon as practicable following the Trust Distribution Date,
such Trust Shares to the Grantor Shareholders of record on the Record Date. 
 (b) Each Grantor Shareholder of record on the
Record Date will be entitled to receive in a Trust Distribution a number of Trust Shares, subject to Section 4.6(c), equal to the product of (i) the number of Trust Shares to be distributed by the Trust multiplied by (ii) a
fraction, the numerator of which is the number of Grantor Shares held of record by such Grantor Shareholder on the Record Date and the denominator of which is the number of Grantor Shares outstanding on the Record Date. 

(c) Each Grantor Shareholder of record who, after aggregating the number of Trust Shares (or fractions thereof) to which such Grantor
Shareholder otherwise would be entitled on the Record Date, would be entitled to receive a fraction of a Trust Share in the Trust Distribution will receive cash in lieu of fractional shares from the Distribution Agent. Fractional Trust Shares will
not be distributed in a Trust Distribution nor credited to book-entry accounts. The Distribution Agent shall, as soon as practicable after a Trust Distribution Date, (i) aggregate all such fractional shares into whole shares and sell whole
shares obtained thereby in open market transactions at then prevailing trading prices on behalf of Grantor Shareholders who would otherwise be entitled to fractional share interests, and (ii) distribute to each such record Grantor Shareholder
such Grantor Shareholder’s ratable share of the net proceeds of such sale, based upon the average gross selling price per Trust Share after making appropriate deductions for any amount required to be withheld for United States federal income
tax purposes. Grantor shall bear the cost of brokerage fees and transfer taxes (if any) incurred in connection with these sales of fractional shares, which sales shall occur as soon after the Trust Distribution Date as practicable and as determined
by the Distribution Agent. None of Grantor, ITC, the Trustee or the Distribution Agent will guarantee any minimum sale price for the fractional Trust Shares. 

  
 17 

 
None of Grantor, ITC or the Trustee will pay any interest on proceeds from the sale of fractional Trust Shares. The Distribution Agent shall have the sole discretion to select the broker-dealers
through which to sell the aggregated fractional Trust Shares and to determine when, how and at what price to sell such shares. Neither the Distribution Agent nor the selected broker-dealer shall be Affiliates of Grantor or ITC. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, in no event shall any Grantor Shareholder have any right to any cash in lieu of fractional Trust Shares if the aggregate amount of all such cash such Grantor Shareholder is entitled to is less than $0.01 (the “Distribution De
Minimis Payment”). Upon completion of any Trust Distribution, the Trustee shall promptly donate the aggregate amount of Distribution De Minimis Payments to a Qualified Charity selected by the Trustee in its sole discretion. 

(d) Grantor, ITC and the Trustee, as the case may be, shall provide the Distribution Agent any information reasonably required in order to
complete the Trust Distributions on the basis specified above. 
 (e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement,
the Trustee shall not be required to effectuate a Trust Distribution that is in violation of applicable Law. 
 Section 4.7
Trustee Cooperation. In the event of an Exchange Offer or Trust Distribution, the Trustee shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with Grantor or ITC, as the case may be, as requested thereby, in connection with the preparation
of any registration statement (including the prospectus contained therein) or Information Statement or any amendments or supplements thereto related to the Trust Shares or the Trustee in its capacity as trustee of the Trust. For the avoidance of
doubt, any expenses incurred by the Trustee in connection with this Section 4.7 shall be reimbursed in accordance with Section 7.1. 
 Section 4.8 Right to Specific Performance. Each of the parties understands and agrees that the agreements on each of their parts herein contained are uniquely related to the desire of the parties
and their respective Affiliates to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and further agrees that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any provision of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with its specific
terms and further agrees that, although monetary damages may be available for the breach of such covenants and agreements, monetary damages would be an inadequate remedy therefor. It is accordingly agreed that, in addition to any other remedy that
may be available to it, including monetary damages, each of the parties shall be entitled to seek an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement exclusively
in the Delaware Court of Chancery and any state appellate court therefrom within the State of Delaware (or, if the Delaware Court of Chancery declines to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, any state or federal court within the State of
Delaware). Each of the parties further agrees that no party to this Agreement shall be required to obtain, furnish or post any bond or similar instrument in connection with or as a condition to obtaining any remedy referred to in this
Section 4.8 and each of the parties waives any objection to the imposition of such relief or any right it may have to require the obtaining, furnishing or posting of any such bond or similar instrument. 

  
 18 

 Section 4.9 Tax Reporting. The Trust is intended to be treated for federal income tax
purposes as a “grantor trust” (as described in Sections 671-677 of the Internal Revenue Code) with respect to the Grantor. In accordance with Section 671 of the Internal Revenue Code, the Grantor shall include in computing its taxable
income and credits all items of income, deductions, and credits against tax of the Trust. Unless applicable law requires otherwise, the parties to this Agreement hereby agree to treat the Trust and the Grantor in such a manner, including for
purposes of any securities filings and tax returns. If a return is required to be filed with respect to the Trust and its assets, the Trustee shall be responsible for timely preparation and filing of Form 1041, “U.S. Income Tax Return for
Estates and Trusts,” for each taxable year of the Trust and any required state or local tax returns, and the Trustee shall provide the Grantor the opportunity to review the Trust returns prior to filing. The Trustee shall not be responsible for
the preparation or filing of any tax forms of any Grantor Shareholder in connection with a Trust Distribution or Exchange Offer. 

ARTICLE V 

COVENANTS AND RESTRICTIONS 
 Section 5.1 Tender or Exchange Offer. In no event shall the Trustee tender any of the Trust Shares into any tender offer or exchange offer for shares of ITC common stock (other than the Exchange
Offer). 
 Section 5.2 Further Assurances by Grantor and ITC. In addition to and without limiting the actions
specifically provided for elsewhere in this Agreement, each of Grantor and ITC shall reasonably cooperate with the Trustee and use (and will cause its Affiliates to use) commercially reasonable efforts, prior to, on and after the Closing, to take,
or to cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or to cause to be done, all things reasonably necessary on its part under applicable Law or contractual obligations to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated by this Agreement;
provided, that, in no event shall ITC or Grantor or any of their respective Affiliates be required to take any action pursuant to this Section 5.2 that ITC or Grantor (as applicable) reasonably believes would have any adverse consequence
to itself, its Affiliates or any of their respective equity holders. 
 ARTICLE VI 

TERMINATION 
 Section 6.1 Termination. 
 (a) This Agreement shall terminate upon the time
and date on which the Trust no longer holds any Trust Shares. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the transactions contemplated in the Merger Agreement are abandoned or terminated or the Merger Agreement is terminated prior to the Closing,
this Agreement shall terminate without further action by any of the parties hereto and any property held by the Trustee shall be promptly distributed as directed by Grantor. 

  
 19 

 (b) Prior to the Closing Date, Grantor shall have the right at any time to terminate this
Agreement in its sole discretion by written notice to the other parties hereto and any property held by the Trustee shall be promptly distributed to Grantor. 
 Section 6.2 Survival. The provisions of Section 7.1, Section 7.3, Section 7.4, Section 8.15, Section 8.16 and Section 8.17
shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the earlier resignation or removal of the Trustee. 
 ARTICLE VII

 CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE 
 Section 7.1 Compensation of Trustee. The Trustee shall be entitled to payment from the Trust for customary fees for all services rendered by it hereunder as set forth on Schedule II attached
hereto. Prior to the Closing, Grantor shall contribute to the Trust the “Expense Pre-Funded Amount” set forth on Schedule II to cover any such fees and any loss, liability, damage, disbursements, advances or expenses
reasonably paid or incurred by it in the administration of its duties hereunder, including, but not limited to, all reasonable counsel, advisors’ and agents’ fees and disbursements (including, without limitation, to any dealer manager,
information agent, exchange agent, or distribution agent retained in accordance with this Agreement or the Registration Rights Agreement) and all taxes or other governmental charges. If, after the Trust Expiration Date, any Expense Pre-Funded Amount
remains, the Trustee, in its sole discretion, will contribute such amount to Grantor or to a Qualified Charity selected by the Trustee in its sole discretion; provided that the Trustee shall provide a final accounting to Grantor for the
Expense Pre-Funded Amount prior to distributing any remainder. 
 Section 7.2 Resignation of Trustee. The Trustee may
resign and be discharged from its duties hereunder at any time by giving ninety (90) calendar days’ prior written notice of such resignation to Grantor (with a copy to ITC). Grantor with the written consent of ITC, not to be unreasonably
withheld or delayed, may remove the Trustee at any time by giving ninety (90) calendar days’ prior written notice to the Trustee. A successor Trustee shall be appointed by Grantor with the written consent of ITC, not to be unreasonably
withheld or delayed, who shall provide written notice of such to the resigning or removed Trustee, and the resigning or removed Trustee shall cause the Trust Shares to be transferred to the successor trustee, as trustee of the Trust. Such successor
trustee shall become the “Trustee” hereunder upon the resignation or removal date specified in such notice. If Grantor and ITC are unable to agree upon a successor trustee within ninety (90) calendar days after such notice, the
Trustee may apply to a court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor trustee or for other appropriate relief. Upon its resignation and delivery of the Trust Shares as set forth in this Section 7.2, the Trustee shall
be discharged from any and all further obligations arising in connection with the Trust Shares or this Agreement, other than for any material breaches of this Agreement occurring prior to such resignation, removal or delivery for which the Trustee
would not be entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 7.3. 

  
 20 

 Section 7.3 Indemnification of Trustee. Except to the extent caused by the willful
misconduct of any Trustee Indemnified Party (as defined below), Grantor shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Trustee and its officers, directors, employees, representatives and agents (each, a “Trustee Indemnified Party”),
from and against and reimburse the Trustee for any and all claims, expenses, obligations, liabilities, losses, damages, injuries (to person, property, or natural resources), penalties, stamp or other similar taxes, actions, suits, judgments,
reasonable documented costs and expenses (including reasonable documented attorney’s fees and expenses) of whatever kind or nature regardless of their merit, demanded, asserted or claimed against the Trustee directly or indirectly relating to,
or arising from, claims against the Trustee by reason of its participation in the transactions contemplated hereby, including all reasonable documented costs required to be associated with claims for damages to persons or property, and reasonable
documented attorneys’ and consultants’ fees and expenses and court costs. The provisions of this Section 7.3 shall survive the termination of this Agreement or the earlier resignation or removal of the Trustee. In no event
shall the Trustee be entitled to be indemnified or reimbursed from the assets of the Trust or, except as provided in the Registration Rights Agreement, from ITC and its subsidiaries (including TransCo following the Effective Time). 

Section 7.4 Trustee’s Duties, Responsibilities and Rights. 

(a) The duties, responsibilities, obligations, rights and powers of the Trustee shall be limited to those expressly set herein, and no
duties, responsibilities, obligations or rights or powers (including rights or powers that, absent this provision, would otherwise exist under Title 12 of the Delaware Code or other applicable law), shall be inferred or implied against or in favor
of the Trustee. Except in the case of willful misconduct of the Trustee or any Trustee Indemnified Party, the Trustee shall not be required to expend or risk any of its own funds or otherwise incur any liability, financial or otherwise, in the
performance of any of its duties hereunder. 
 (b) To the fullest extent permitted by Section 3303 of Title 12 of the
Delaware Code, the Trustee shall not be liable to any person for any action taken or omitted or for any loss or injury resulting from its actions or its performance or lack of performance of its duties hereunder in the absence of willful misconduct
on its part or any Trustee Indemnified Party. 
 (c) The Trustee may consult with legal counsel (internal or external) of its own
choosing as to any matter relating to this Agreement, and the Trustee shall not incur any liability in acting in good faith in accordance with any advice from such counsel. Grantor shall reimburse the Trustee for reasonable documented expenses of
such counsel; provided, however, that Grantor shall not be obligated to reimburse any fees or expenses in the event of any willful misconduct of the Trustee and, provided, further, that if Grantor does not reimburse the Trustee for
such expenses, such expenses shall be payable from the Expense Pre-Funded Amount. 
 (d) The Trustee shall not incur any
liability for not performing any act or fulfilling any duty, obligation or responsibility hereunder by reason of any occurrence beyond the control of the Trustee (including but not limited to any act or provision of any present or future Law or
governmental authority, any act of God or war, civil unrest, local or national disturbance or disaster or any act of terrorism). 

  
 21 

 (e) Except in the case of willful misconduct of the Trustee, the Trustee shall be entitled
to conclusively rely upon any order, judgment, certification, demand, notice, instrument or other writing delivered to it hereunder, including any information provided by Grantor or ITC for inclusion in any regulatory filing or Offer Document,
without being required to determine the authenticity or the correctness of any fact stated therein or the propriety or validity or the service thereof. Except in the case of willful misconduct of the Trustee, the Trustee may act in conclusive
reliance upon any instrument or signature believed by it to be genuine and may assume that any person purporting to give receipt or advice to make any statement or execute any document in connection with the provisions hereof has been duly
authorized to do so. 
 (f) For the purposes of this Agreement, the term “willful misconduct” shall have the meaning
ascribed to that term in Section 3301 of Title 12 of the Delaware Code. 
 (g) In the event of any ambiguity or uncertainty
hereunder or in any notice, instruction or other communication received by the Trustee hereunder, the Trustee may, in its sole discretion, refrain from taking any action other than to retain possession of the Trust Shares, unless the Trustee
receives written instructions, signed by Grantor, which eliminate such ambiguity or uncertainty. 
 (h) The Trustee does not have
any beneficial interest in the Trust Shares transferred hereunder but is serving as trustee only and has only legal title and possession thereof. 
 ARTICLE VIII 
 MISCELLANEOUS 

Section 8.1 Entire Agreement. Except with respect to the Merger Agreement, the Separation Agreement, the Registration Rights
Agreement, and the letter agreement between Grantor and ITC, dated the date hereof in the case of Grantor and ITC, this Agreement embodies the entire agreement and understanding among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof and
shall supersede all prior negotiations, agreements and understandings of the parties of any nature, whether oral or written, with respect to such subject matter. 
 Section 8.2 Governing Law. The validity, construction and administration of the trust and this Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware,
without giving effect to any conflict or choice of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware. 

Section 8.3 Consent to Jurisdiction. The parties and each other person bound by this Agreement irrevocably and unconditionally

hereunder brought by another party hereto or its successors or assigns, shall be brought and determined exclusively in the Delaware Court of Chancery and any state appellate court therefrom within the State of Delaware (or, if the Delaware Court of
Chancery declines to accept or does not have jurisdiction over a particular matter, any state or federal court within the State 

  
 22 

 
of Delaware). Each of the parties and each other person bound by this Agreement hereby irrevocably submits with regard to any such action or proceeding for itself and in respect of its property,
generally and unconditionally, to the personal jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts and agrees that it will not bring any action relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in any court other than the

is exempt or immune from jurisdiction of any such court or from any legal process commenced in such courts (whether through service of notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution of judgment, execution of judgment or
otherwise) and (c) to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, any claim that (i) the suit, action or proceeding in such court is brought in an inconvenient forum, (ii) the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper
or (iii) this Agreement, or the subject matter hereof, may not be enforced in or by such courts.

Trust Distribution or an Exchange Offer an ITC shareholder on account of such ITC Common Stock) arising out of, or in any way related to, this Agreement, including, without limitation, (A) any alleged or actual breach of fiduciary duty to ITC
or its shareholders by any of directors, officers, owners, members, managers, partners, agents or employees of ITC or its Affiliates or (B) diminution of stock price or value, and in either case of (A) or (B), excluding any claims,
expenses, obligations, liabilities, losses, damages, penalties, actions, suits, judgments, reasonable documented costs and expenses, demanded, asserted or claimed by any former, current, or future shareholder of ITC or Grantor arising out of, or in
any way related to the Trustee’s election to donate Dividend Proceeds to a Qualified Charity pursuant to Section 2.9(a)(ii); and (ii) any punitive damages. 

(c) Nothing in this Section 8.16 shall be construed or interpreted to otherwise modify the allocation of liabilities and the
indemnification obligations in the Separation Agreement. 
 Section 8.17 ITC Provisions. Notwithstanding any other

TransCo, the Trustee, the Grantor Shareholders, any beneficiary of the Trust or any other person bound by this Agreement, other than the obligations expressly set forth in this Agreement, and no implied duties or obligations shall be read into this
Agreement against ITC or its subsidiaries (including TransCo following the Effective Time). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or applicable provision of Law or in equity, ITC and its subsidiaries (including TransCo following the
Effective Time) shall not be deemed to be acting in any fiduciary capacity hereunder and shall not be liable to the Trust, Grantor, TransCo, the Trustee, the Grantor Shareholders, any beneficiary of the Trust, or any other person bound by this
Agreement for any act or omission of ITC or its subsidiaries (including TransCo following the Effective Time), or for breach of this Agreement or breach of any duty; provided, that such act or omission was not attributable in whole or in part
to (i) any gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith of ITC, its Affiliates or any of their respective officers, directors, members, managers, employees or agents, or (ii) any breach by ITC or TransCo under this Agreement, the
Registration Rights Agreement or the Separation Agreement. 

  
 27 

 Section 8.18 Confidentiality. The parties hereto acknowledge that Annex II
(Irrevocable Terms) contains sensitive, competitive information, the disclosure of which would cause competitive harm to Grantor and ITC. As such, ITC and the Trustee agree that ITC and the Trustee, and their respective Affiliates, shall keep Annex
II and the information contained therein confidential and, subject to the following obligations in this Section 8.18, shall not disclose Annex II or the information contained therein to any other person, except as required by law, rule,
regulation, stock exchange rule or disclosure requirement of the SEC; provided, that for the purposes of this Section 8.18, any such SEC disclosure requirement shall include (i) an indication by the SEC to ITC or the Trustee that
the SEC will not declare the registration statement relating to the Exchange Offer effective without disclosure of Annex II or the information contained therein, or (ii) the reasonable belief by ITC or the Trustee, upon the advice of counsel,
that the SEC will not declare the registration statement relating to the Exchange Offer effective without disclosure of Annex II or the information contained therein. In the event that ITC or the Trustee, or any of their respective Affiliates, are
legally compelled, pursuant to a subpoena, civil investigative demand, regulatory demand or similar process or pursuant to applicable law to disclose Annex II or the information contained therein, each of ITC and the Trustee agree that it shall use
commercially reasonable efforts to provide Grantor with prompt notice of such request or requirement together with the text of the proposed disclosure as far in advance of its disclosure as is reasonably practicable, and will in good faith consult
with and consider the suggestions of Grantor concerning the nature and scope of the information ITC or the Trustee proposes to disclose. Grantor may seek an appropriate protective order (including making a confidential treatment request to the SEC
pursuant to Rule 406 under the Securities Act of 1933) or other remedy, may consult with ITC or the Trustee with respect to Grantor’s taking steps to resist or narrow the scope of such request or legal process, or may waive compliance, in whole
or in part, with the terms of this Section 8.18. ITC and the Trustee agree to reasonably cooperate with and not unreasonably to oppose any action by Grantor to obtain a protective order or other appropriate remedy. In the event that no
such protective order or other remedy is obtained, or that Grantor waives compliance with the terms of this Section 8.18, ITC or the Trustee may disclose only that part of Annex II as it is advised by counsel is legally required. In any
such event, each of ITC and the Trustee shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that Annex II, or any information contained therein that is so disclosed, will be accorded confidential treatment. Nothing in this
Section 8.18 shall prohibit the disclosure of the Discount or the Upper Limit in any Offer Document pursuant to an Exchange Offer. In accordance with Section 3303(a) of Title 12 of the Delaware Code, the Trustee shall not furnish
any notice or account statement to any Grantor Shareholder, or provide any Grantor Shareholder notice of the existence of the Trust or any information regarding the Trust or its terms or assets unless required under applicable Law. 

Section 8.19 Application of Article VI of the Separation Agreement to this Agreement. This Agreement, together with any
amendments, modifications, or supplements to this Agreement, shall be deemed an Ancillary Agreement under the Separation Agreement; provided, however, for purposes of applying Article VI (Tax Matters) of the Separation Agreement, the
payment of a dividend by ITC or the occurrence of a Merger Event as contemplated by Section 2.9 and Section 4.5 of this Agreement, respectively, shall not be treated as “provided for” in an Ancillary Agreement.

  
 28 

 Section 8.20 Communications. Grantor and ITC agree that neither party will
initiate any direct or indirect communications, meetings, nor other contacts, formal or informal, oral or written, regarding the terms of this Agreement, and the transactions contemplated thereby, with the Trustee after the Effective Time except:
(a) in connection with the preparation, filing, delivery, dissemination or similar action of any Offer Document (including any document, writing, information or similar communication contained in any Offer Document); (b) in connection with
any Trust Distribution; (c) where the failure to initiate any communications, meetings, or other contacts could reasonably result in a violation of applicable Law by such party or its Affiliates or each of their respective representatives
and/or the Trustee; (d) if either ITC or Grantor reasonably believes that any provision of this Agreement has been or will be breached or not complied with, (e) as otherwise contemplated or implied by or provided for in this Agreement or
the Registration Rights Agreement or (f) otherwise as may be reasonably necessary to effect any express provision or the intent of this Agreement; provided that in each case in which communication is permissible, Grantor and ITC (as applicable)
shall notify each other in advance of such communication, shall provide copies of any such written communication to each other and shall allow each other to participate in any meetings or other oral communications with the Trustee. Without limiting
or modifying the foregoing, if, for any reason, the Trustee initiates communications with either the Grantor or ITC regarding the terms of this Agreement, both parties agree that the party receiving the communications will notify the other party of
all the details of the communications, including providing copies of any written communications, and work collaboratively to prepare any response to the Trustee, as necessary. The provisions of this Section 8.20 shall not be enforceable by
(x) any party that is in material breach of this Agreement or the Registration Rights Agreement or (y) the Trustee.

 (a) For so long as the Trust holds Trust Shares, upon written notice from Entergy, in the manner set forth in Section 9(i), requesting that the Company effect the registration under the
Securities Act of all of the Trust Shares by means of an Exchange Offer (a “Demand Registration”), which notice shall specify the amount of Trust Shares proposed to be registered and the intended method of distribution, the Company
shall use its reasonable best efforts to effect, in the manner set forth in Section 4, the registration under the Securities Act of such Trust Shares, provided that: 

(i) if, while a registration request is pending pursuant to this Section 2, the Company determines, following
consultation with and receiving advice from its legal counsel, that the filing or initial effectiveness of a registration statement or any amendment thereto or the sale or other transfer of any Trust Shares would require any Adverse Disclosure, upon
notice to Entergy, the Company shall not be required to effect a registration pursuant to this Section 2 (a “Demand Suspension”) until the earlier of (A) the date upon which such Adverse Disclosure is otherwise
disclosed to the public or ceases to be an Adverse Disclosure and (B) 45 days after the Company delivers such Demand Suspension; provided, however, that the Company shall not be permitted to exercise a Demand Suspension more than
two times. If a Demand Suspension occurs (or continues to occur) within 60 days of the Trust Expiration Date, the Trust Expiration Date shall be extended until 60 days after such Demand Suspension has been terminated. In the case of a Demand
Suspension, each of Entergy and the Trustee agrees to suspend use of the applicable prospectus and any free writing prospectuses in connection with any sale of, or offer to sell, Trust Shares, upon receipt of a notice with respect thereto and while
such Demand Suspension is pending;

statement relating to a registration request for an Exchange Offer pursuant to this Section 2 within a period of 45 days before the Trust Expiration Date; and

 5 

 (b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, a registration
requested by Entergy pursuant to this Section 2 shall not be deemed to have been effected (and, therefore, not requested for purposes of this Section 2), if: (i) the registration statement filed in connection therewith
has not become effective; (ii) after such registration statement has become effective, it becomes subject to any stop order, or there is issued an injunction or other order or decree of the SEC or other governmental agency or court for any
reason other than a misrepresentation or an omission by Entergy, which injunction, order or decree prohibits or otherwise materially and adversely affects the offer and sale of the Trust Shares so registered prior to the completion of the exchange
thereof in accordance with the Exchange Offer set forth in the registration statement; or (iii) the conditions to the Exchange Offer are not satisfied. 

(c) The Trustee shall have the right to designate in consultation with the Company and Entergy (i) one or more
nationally recognized investment bankers and managers to act as dealer manager in connection with an Exchange Offer (the “Dealer Manager”), (ii) an exchange agent, (iii) an information agent, and (iv) a distribution
agent, in each case mutually acceptable to the Company, the Trustee and Entergy (such acceptance not to be unreasonably withheld). Schedule I sets forth a list of Dealer Managers, exchange agents, information agents and distribution agents that are
pre-approved by the Company and Entergy.2 

Section 3. Expenses. Entergy agrees to pay all Registration Expenses (including with respect to an Exchange Offer or Distribution
pursuant to this Agreement). 
 Section 4. Registration and Qualification. If and whenever the Company is required to use
its reasonable best efforts to effect the registration of any Trust Shares under the Securities Act as provided in this Agreement, the Company shall (with the reasonable cooperation of the Trustee and Entergy): 

(a) use its reasonable best efforts to prepare and file a registration statement under the Securities Act relating to the Trust Shares to
be offered as soon as practicable, but in no event later than 30 days (60 days if the Company does not meet the requirements for use of Form S-3) after the date notice is given, and use its reasonable best efforts to cause the same to become
effective as soon as practicable thereafter, but in no event later than 60 days (90 days if Company does not meet the requirements for use of Form S-3) after the date notice is given; provided that, a reasonable time before filing a
registration statement or prospectus, or any amendments or supplements thereto (other than reports required to be filed by it under the Exchange Act), the Company will furnish to the Trustee and Entergy and each of their respective counsel and other
representatives (including, without limitation, the Dealer Manager) for review and comment, copies of all documents proposed to be filed and refrain from filing any such registration statement, prospectus or amendments or supplements thereto to
which the Trustee, Entergy or their respective counsel shall have reasonably objected on the grounds that such document does not comply in all material respects with the requirements of the Securities Act or the rules and regulations thereunder,
unless, in the case of an amendment or supplement, based on the advice of counsel for the Company the filing of such amendment or supplement is reasonably necessary to protect the Company from any liabilities

under any applicable federal or state law and such filing will not violate applicable laws; and provided further, that if the Trustee or Entergy so requests, (i) it and its
respective counsel and other representatives (including, without limitation, the Dealer Manager) may participate in the drafting and preparation of such registration statement and prospectus and any amendments or supplements thereto that relate to
the Exchange Offer or Distribution, as applicable, and (ii) such other information as either of them believe may be beneficial to be included in the registration statement and prospectus and any amendments or supplements thereto for marketing
purposes shall be included therein so long as disclosure of such information (A) is in compliance with applicable law and (B) does not competitively harm the Company; 

(b) use its reasonable best efforts to prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to such registration statement and
the prospectus used in connection therewith as may be reasonably requested by the Trustee or Entergy relating to the plan of distribution or as necessary to keep such registration statement effective with respect to the disposition of all Trust
Shares included therein and to otherwise comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all Trust Shares included therein until the earlier of (i) such time as all of such Trust Shares have been disposed of
in accordance with the intended methods of disposition set forth in such registration statement, (ii) if such registration statement relates to an Exchange Offer, the expiration of such Exchange Offer and (iii) the Trust Expiration Date;

 (c) furnish to the Trustee and the Dealer Manager such number of conformed copies of such registration statement and of each
amendment thereto (in each case excluding all exhibits), such number of copies of the prospectus included in such registration statement (including each preliminary prospectus) and of each supplement thereto, in conformity with the requirements of
the Securities Act, and such other documents, as the Trustee or the Dealer Manager may reasonably request in writing in order to facilitate an Exchange Offer or a Registered Distribution, and a copy of any and all transmittal letters or other
correspondence to, or received from, the SEC or any other governmental agency or self-regulatory body or other body having jurisdiction (including, without limitation, any domestic or foreign securities exchange) relating to such offering;

 (d) use its reasonable best efforts to register or qualify all Trust Shares covered by such registration statement under the
securities or “blue sky” laws of such jurisdictions (domestic or foreign) as the Trustee or the Dealer Manager may reasonably request in writing, and use its reasonable best efforts to obtain all appropriate registrations, permits and
consents required in connection therewith, and do any and all other acts and things which may be necessary or advisable to enable the Trustee to consummate the disposition in such jurisdictions of the Trust Shares covered by such registration
statement; provided that the Company shall not for any such purpose be required to register or qualify generally to do business as a foreign corporation in any jurisdiction wherein it is not so qualified, or to subject itself to taxation in
any such jurisdiction, or to consent to general service of process in any such jurisdiction; 
 (e) (i) in the event of an
Exchange Offer, use its reasonable best efforts to furnish a customary opinion of counsel for the Company addressed to the Trustee, Entergy and the Dealer Manager, dated, respectively, the date of commencement of such Exchange Offer and the date of
expiration of such Exchange Offer, (ii) in the event of a 

  
 7 

 
Registered Distribution, use its reasonable best efforts to furnish a customary opinion of counsel for the Company addressed to Entergy and the Trustee, dated the closing date of such Registered
Distribution, and (iii) use its reasonable best efforts to furnish a “cold comfort” letter addressed to Entergy and the Trustee (and the Dealer Manager in the event of an Exchange Offer), if permissible under applicable accounting
practices, and signed by the independent public accountants who have audited the Company’s financial statements included in such registration statement, in each such case covering substantially the same matters with respect to such registration
statement (and the prospectus included therein) as are customarily covered in opinions of issuer’s counsel (including a “10b-5” opinion) and in accountants’ letters delivered to underwriters in underwritten public offerings of
securities and such other matters as Entergy or the Trustee may reasonably request and, in the case of such accountants’ letter, with respect to events subsequent to the date of such financial statements; 

(f) notify the Trustee and Entergy in writing immediately: 

(i) of the occurrence of any event as a result of which the prospectus included in such registration statement, as then in
effect, includes a misstatement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, 

(ii) of any written comments from the SEC in respect of such registration statement (and provide copies thereof to the
Trustee, Entergy and the Dealer Manager) and of any request by the SEC or any other regulatory body or other body having jurisdiction for any amendment of or supplement to such registration statement or other document relating to such offering, in
each case, pursuant to such confidentiality agreements as the Company may reasonably request, and 
 (iii) of the
issuance by the SEC of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of such registration statement or the initiation of proceedings for that purpose, 
 and, in the case of clauses (i) (ii) and (iii), promptly use its reasonable best efforts, respectively, to (A) prepare an amendment or supplement, such that the prospectus included in such
registration statement shall not include a misstatement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not
misleading; provided that the Company shall have no such obligation during any Demand Suspension period, (B) respond reasonably to any such comments and to file promptly any necessary amendments or supplements, and (C) prevent the issuance
of any stop order or to obtain the withdrawal if such stop order should be issued; 
 (g) use its reasonable best efforts to
list all Trust Shares covered by such registration statement on each securities exchange and inter-dealer quotation system on which the Common Stock is then listed, if and when the listing of such shares is then permitted under the rules of such
exchange or inter-dealer quotation system; 

  
 8 

 (h) to the extent reasonably requested by the Trustee, Entergy or the Dealer Manager in
connection with an Exchange Offer, send appropriate officers of the Company (as the Company may reasonably select) to attend any “road shows” scheduled in connection with any such Exchange Offer; 

(i) in connection with the closing of any Exchange Offer or Distribution, and in collaboration with the Trustee, furnish or cause to be
furnished for delivery the Trust Shares in uncertificated book-entry form (not bearing any restrictive notations) and enable or cause to be enabled such book-entries to be in such denominations or amounts as the Trustee or the Dealer Manager may
reasonably request, registered in such names as the Trustee or the Dealer Manager may request; 
 (j) make available for
inspection, during normal business hours at the offices of the Company and upon reasonable advance notice, by the Trustee, Entergy, and any legal counsel, accountant or other agent retained by the Trustee, Entergy and the Dealer Manager and its
counsel, financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company as shall be reasonably necessary to enable them to exercise their due diligence responsibility, and cause the Company’s officers and employees and
use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Company’s independent registered public accountants (subject to any requesting party executing any document reasonably requested by such accountants to furnish such information) to supply all
information reasonably requested by the Trustee or Entergy, such counsels, accountants or agents in connection with such registration statement (including, without limitation, the opportunity to discuss the business of the Company with its officers
and the independent registered public accountants who have certified its financial statements) (subject to the execution by the prospective recipient thereof of a customary confidentiality agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to
the Company) as shall be necessary, in the opinion of their respective counsel, to conduct a reasonable due diligence investigation within the meaning of the Securities Act; provided, however, that records and documents which the
Company determines, in good faith, to be confidential and which it notifies such counsel, accountant or agent are confidential shall not be disclosed by the Company unless (i) the disclosure of such records or documents is necessary to avoid or
correct a material misstatement or omission in such registration statement or (ii) the release of such records or documents is ordered pursuant to a subpoena or other order from a court of competent jurisdiction; provided,
further, that each such counsel, accountant or agent shall be required to maintain in confidence and not disclose to any other person (other than to the Trustee or Entergy) any information or records reasonably designated by the Company as
being confidential, except as required by law or to establish a due diligence defense; and 
 (k) in the event of an Exchange
Offer, negotiate in good faith and enter into an agreement with the Dealer Manager related to such Exchange Offer, in customary form and on customary terms for the particular transaction, and take the actions required thereunder (provided that any
costs, expenses and liabilities under such agreement shall be paid by Entergy (but without limiting the obligations of ITC under of Section 8(a))). 
 Section 5. Control of Exchange Offers. Subject to applicable laws and regulations and the Trust Agreement, Entergy shall determine all material terms and conditions of any Exchange Offer,
including, without limitation, the timing of the commencement, the exchange ratio, the expiration date, any extension thereof and the number of Trust Shares to be offered for exchange. 

  
 9 

 Section 6. Distribution of the Trust Shares. 

(a) Pursuant to the Trust Agreement, the Trustee is obligated, upon the occurrence of certain events set forth in the Trust Agreement
and, in lieu of or in addition to one or more Exchange Offers, to deliver the Trust Shares (or, if an Exchange Offer has previously been consummated, any remaining Trust Shares held by the Trust) to Entergy’s distribution agent for distribution
to the Entergy Shareholders on a pro rata basis (such distribution, a “Distribution”). In the event the Trustee becomes obligated to effect a Distribution, whether in lieu of or in addition to one or more Exchange Offers, Entergy
will prepare an information statement that complies with SEC Staff Legal Bulletin #4 4.B.3.b. (the “Information Statement”) and deliver the Information Statement to the Entergy Shareholders of record as of the distribution date as
will be set forth in the Information Statement; provided that, a reasonable time before such delivery, Entergy will furnish to the Company and its counsel and other representatives for review and comment, copies of the Information Statement,
and consider in good faith any and all comments from ITC. The Company shall provide the Trustee and Entergy, during normal business hours at the offices of the Company and upon reasonable advance notice, reasonable and customary access to its books
and records and such opportunities to discuss the business of the Company as shall be reasonably necessary to satisfy Entergy’s obligations under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act with respect to the Information Statement;
provided, however, that books and records which the Company determines, in good faith, to be confidential and which it notifies the Trustee and Entergy are confidential shall not be disclosed by the Company unless (i) the
disclosure of such records or documents is necessary to avoid or correct a material misstatement or omission in such Information Statement or (ii) the release of such books or records is ordered pursuant to a subpoena or other order from a
court of competent jurisdiction; provided, further, that each of the Trustee and Entergy shall be required to maintain in confidence and not disclose to any other person any information or records reasonably designated by the Company
as being confidential, except as required by law or to establish a due diligence defense. 
 (b) If, upon the written advice of
counsel, the Trustee or Entergy reasonably believes that the disposal of any Trust Shares by a Distribution requires such Trust Shares to be registered under the Securities Act, the Company shall register such Trust Shares to be disposed of in such
Distribution (a “Registered Distribution”) pursuant to (and subject to the limitations contained in) Section 2 of this Agreement and the provisions related to an Exchange Offer in Section 2 of this Agreement
shall apply to such Distribution, as appropriate; provided, however, that under no circumstances shall the Company be entitled to rely on Section 2(a)(ii) of this Agreement as a basis of not effecting a registration of any
Trust Shares in connection with a Registered Distribution. 
 Section 7. Company Holdback Agreement. The Company agrees
not to effect any public sale or distribution of shares of Common Stock during the period beginning seven days before the commencement of an Exchange Offer and ending 10 days after the expiration of such Exchange Offer (or, in the case of a
Registered Distribution, beginning seven days before the effectiveness of such registration statement and ending the closing date of such Registered 

  
 10 

 
Distribution). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may effect a public sale or distribution of shares of Common Stock during the periods described above if such sale or distribution is
made pursuant to a registration statement on Form S-8 or any successor form to such form or as part of any registration of securities for offering and sale to employees or directors of the Company pursuant to any employee stock plan or other
employee benefit plan arrangement. 
 Section 8. Indemnification and Contribution. 

(a) In the case of each Exchange Offer or Registered Distribution, the Company shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Entergy
Indemnitees from and against any and all Indemnifiable Losses arising out of, by reason of or otherwise in connection with any misstatement or alleged misstatement of a material fact, or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material
fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, contained in a Section 8(a) Offering Document; provided, however, that the
Company shall not be liable to Entergy in any such case to the extent that any such Indemnifiable Loss (including any legal or other expense) arises out of, is based upon or is caused by any such misstatement or omission or alleged misstatement or
omission based upon information relating to Entergy or the Trustee, as the case may be, furnished to the Company in writing by or on behalf of Entergy or the Trustee or incorporated by reference from any filings made by Entergy or the Trustee with
the SEC pursuant to the Securities Act or Exchange Act. 
 (b) In the case of each Exchange Offer or Registered Distribution,
Entergy shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Company Indemnitees from and against any and all Indemnifiable Losses arising out of, by reason of or otherwise in connection with any misstatement or alleged misstatement of a material fact, or
any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, contained in a Section 8(a)
Offering Document, but in each case only to the extent that any such Indemnifiable Loss arises out of, is based upon or is caused by any such misstatement or omission or alleged misstatement or omission contained in information relating to Entergy
or the Trustee, as the case may be, furnished in writing to the Company by or on behalf of Entergy or the Trustee or incorporated by reference from any filings made by Entergy or the Trustee with the SEC pursuant to the Securities Act or Exchange
Act. 
 (c) In the case of each Distribution effected under Section 6(a), Entergy shall indemnify, defend and hold
harmless the Company Indemnitees from and against any and all Indemnifiable Losses arising out of, by reason of or otherwise in connection with any misstatement or alleged misstatement of a material fact, or any omission or alleged omission to state
therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, contained in a Section 8(c) Offering Document; provided,
however, that Entergy shall not be liable to the Company in any such case to the extent that any such Indemnifiable Loss (including any legal or other expense) arises out of, is based upon or is caused by any such misstatement or omission or
alleged misstatement or omission based upon information relating to the Company furnished to Entergy in writing by or on behalf of the Company or incorporated by reference from any filings made by the Company with the SEC pursuant to the Securities
Act or Exchange Act. 

  
 11 

 (d) In the case of each Distribution effected under Section 6(a), the Company
shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Entergy Indemnitees from and against any and all Indemnifiable Losses arising out of, by reason of or otherwise in connection with any misstatement or alleged misstatement of a material fact, or any
omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, contained in a Section 8(c)
Offering Document, but in each case only to the extent that any such Indemnifiable Loss arises out of, is based upon or is caused by any such misstatement or omission or alleged misstatement or omission contained in information relating to the
Company furnished in writing to Entergy by or on behalf of the Company or incorporated by reference from any filings made by the Company with the SEC pursuant to the Securities Act or Exchange Act. 

(e) An Indemnitee shall give the indemnifying party written notice of any matter that an Indemnitee has determined has given or could
give rise to a right of indemnification under this Agreement, within 10 business days of such determination, stating the amount of the loss claimed, if known, and method of computation thereof, and containing a reference to the provisions of this
Agreement in respect of which such right of indemnification is claimed by such Indemnitee or arises; provided, however, that the failure to provide such notice shall not release the indemnifying party from any of its obligations except
and solely to the extent the indemnifying party shall have been materially prejudiced as a result of such failure (except that the indemnifying party shall not be liable for any expenses incurred during the period in which the Indemnitee failed to
give such notice). 
 (f) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 8 is unavailable to, or insufficient
to hold harmless an Indemnitee in respect of any Indemnifiable Loss, then the indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnitee as a result of such Indemnifiable Loss in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect
the relative fault of the indemnifying party and the Indemnitee with respect to the misstatements or omissions that resulted in such Indemnifiable Loss, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. With respect to the foregoing, the
relative fault of such indemnifying party and Indemnitee shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the misstatement or alleged misstatement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to
information related to and supplied by such indemnifying party or Indemnitee, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such misstatement or omission. The parties agree that it
would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 8(f) were determined by a pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in this
Section 8(f). The amount paid or payable by an Indemnitee as a result of the Indemnifiable Losses referred to in this Section 8(f) shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any out-of-pocket
legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such Indemnitee in connection with investigating any claim or defending any Action. In no event, however, shall Entergy be required to contribute in excess of the amount of, with respect to one
or more Exchange Offers, the aggregate Exchange Offer Net Proceeds, and, with respect to one or more Distributions, the aggregate Distribution Values. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the
Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. 

  
 12 

 (g) Indemnification required by this Section 8 shall be made by periodic
payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or an Indemnifiable Loss incurred. 
 (h) The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Section 8 shall remain operative and in full force and effect, regardless of (i) any investigation made by or on behalf of
any Indemnitee; and (ii) the transfer of securities. 
 Section 9. Miscellaneous. 

(a) Specific Performance. The parties agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that the provisions of this Agreement
were not performed in accordance with their specific terms and further agree that, although monetary damages may be available for the breach of such provisions, monetary damages would be an inadequate remedy therefor. It is accordingly agreed that,
in addition to any other remedy that may be available to it, including monetary damages, each of the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions
of this Agreement exclusively in the Delaware Court of Chancery and any state appellate court therefrom within the State of Delaware (or, if the Delaware Court of Chancery declines to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, any state or
federal court within the State of Delaware). Each of the parties further agrees that no party to this Agreement shall be required to obtain, furnish or post any bond or similar instrument in connection with or as a condition to obtaining any remedy
referred to in this Section 9 and each party waives any objection to the imposition of such relief or any right it may have to require the obtaining, furnishing or posting of any such bond or similar instrument. 

(b) Severability. In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement should be held invalid, illegal or
unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby, and the parties shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the
invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions, the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions. 

(c) Further Assurances. Subject to the specific terms of this Agreement, each of the parties hereto shall make, execute,
acknowledge and deliver such other instruments and documents, and take all such other actions, as may be reasonably required in order to effectuate the purposes of this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. 

(d) Waivers. The failure of either party to require strict performance by the other party of any provision in this Agreement will
not waive or diminish that party’s right to demand strict performance thereafter of that or any other provision hereof. 

(e) Entire Agreement. This Agreement contains the final and complete understanding of the parties with respect to its subject
matter. This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements and understandings between the parties, whether written or oral, with respect to the subject matter hereof. 

  
 13 

 (f) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in more than one counterparts, all
of which shall be considered one and the same agreement, and shall become effective when one or more such counterparts have been signed by each of the parties and delivered to the other party. Execution of this Agreement or any other documents
pursuant to this Agreement by facsimile or other electronic copy of a signature shall be deemed to be, and shall have the same effect as, executed by an original signature. 
 (g) Termination. The right of Entergy to request registration pursuant to this Agreement shall terminate on such date that the Trust no longer holds any Trust Shares. 

(h) Amendment. This Agreement may not be modified or amended except by an agreement in writing signed by each of the parties.

 (i) Notices. All notices and other communications under this Agreement shall be in writing in English and shall be
deemed given when delivered personally, on the next business day after delivery by a recognized overnight courier or when sent by facsimile, (which facsimile copy shall be followed, in the case of notices or other communications sent to the Trustee,
by delivery of the original) when the sender receives a written fax confirmation thereof, at the following addresses (or to such other address as a party may have specified by notice given to the other parties pursuant to this

will not bring any action relating to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in any court other than the aforesaid courts. Each of the parties hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert, by way of motion,
as a defense, 

  
 15 

 
counterclaim or otherwise, in any action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement, (a) any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of the above named courts for any
reason other than the failure to serve in accordance with this Section 9(k), (b) any claim that it or its property is exempt or immune from jurisdiction of any such court or from any legal process commenced in such courts (whether
through service of notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution of judgment, execution of judgment or otherwise) and (c) to the fullest extent permitted by the applicable law, any claim that (i) the suit, action or
proceeding in such court is brought in an inconvenient forum, (ii) the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper or (iii) this Agreement, or the subject matter hereof, may not be enforced in or by such courts. 

(l) Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH OF THE PARTIES IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING
ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY. 
 (m) Assignment. Except as
otherwise expressly provided for in this Agreement, this Agreement shall not be assignable, in whole or in part, by either party without the prior written consent of the other party, and any attempt to assign any rights or obligations arising under
this Agreement without such consent shall be null and void; provided, that a party may assign this Agreement in connection with a merger transaction in which such party is not the surviving entity or the sale by such party of all or
substantially all of its assets, and upon the effectiveness of such assignment the assigning party shall be released from all of its obligations under this Agreement if the surviving entity of such merger or the transferee of such assets shall agree
in writing, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the other party, to be bound by the terms of this Agreement as if named as a “party” hereto. 
 (n) Successors and Assigns. Subject to Section 9(m), the provisions of this Agreement and the obligations and rights hereunder shall be binding upon, inure to the benefit of and be

 (o) Third
Party Beneficiaries. Except as provided in Section 8 relating to Indemnitees, this Agreement is solely for the benefit of the parties and should not be deemed to confer upon third parties any remedy, claim, liability, reimbursement,
cause of action or other right in excess of those existing without reference to this Agreement.

Headings. Titles and headings to Sections and Articles are inserted for the convenience of reference only and are not intended to be a part of or to affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. 

(q) Conflicting Agreements. The Company shall not hereafter grant any rights to any person to register securities of the Company,
the exercise of which would conflict with the rights granted to the Trustee and Entergy under this Agreement.

drafting or causing any instrument to be drafted.

the power and authority to execute, deliver and perform this Agreement, that this Agreement has been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of such party, that this Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation
of each such party and that the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by such party does not contravene or conflict with any provision of law or of its charter or bylaws or any material agreement, instrument or order binding on such
party. 
 (t) Application of Article VI of the Separation Agreement to this Agreement. This Agreement, together with any
amendments, modifications, or supplements to this Agreement, shall be deemed an Ancillary Agreement under the Separation Agreement; provided, however, for purposes of applying Article VI (Tax Matters) of the Separation Agreement, a
public sale or distribution of shares of Common Stock contemplated by Section 7 of this Agreement shall not be treated as “provided for” in an Ancillary Agreement.
