For purposes of this Agreement, the value of the Oncor T Package (the “Oncor T Package Amount”) will be determined pursuant to this Section 1.05 and Section 1.06 based on the Net Book Value as of the Oncor Merger Effective Time of the land, easements, rights of way, other real property interests, property, plant and equipment included in the Oncor T Assets.

At all times during the Pre-Closing Period, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, each of the parties shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable (subject to any applicable Laws) to consummate the Transactions as promptly as practicable, including the preparation and filing of all forms, registrations and notices required to be filed to consummate the Transactions by the Initial Outside Date or, if extended, the Outside Date, and the taking of such actions as are necessary to make or obtain any requisite filings, consents, Orders, Permits, qualifications, registrations, exemptions or waivers from any third party or Governmental Entity. In addition, no party shall take any action during the Pre-Closing Period (other than any action required to be taken under this Agreement) that could reasonably be expected to materially delay the making or obtaining of, or result in not making or obtaining, any filing, consent, Order, Permit, qualification, registration, exemption or waiver from any Governmental Entity or other Person required to be obtained prior to the Closing.

(b) Consultation; Communication. Unless prohibited by applicable Law and subject to any limitations on access to documents and information provided for in Section 7.04, each party shall consult with the other parties with respect to, and provide any information reasonably requested by the other parties in connection with, all filings made or to be made with any Governmental Entity in connection with this Agreement and the Transactions (other than routine filings under the Exchange Act). If any party or any of its Affiliates receives a request for information (including additional information or documentary material) from any Governmental Entity with respect to this Agreement or any of the Transactions, then such party shall take commercially reasonable efforts to make, or cause to be made, as soon as reasonably practicable and, unless prohibited by applicable Law, after consultation with the other parties, an appropriate response in compliance with such request. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, unless prohibited by applicable Law and subject to any limitations on access to documents and information contained in Section 7.04, each party shall provide to the other parties (or their respective representatives) upon request copies of all correspondence between such party and any Governmental Entity relating to the Transactions; provided, however, that no party shall be required to provide to the other parties (i) a complete copy of the filing made by such party or its “ultimate parent entity” under the HSR Act (but only such portions of such filing as are customarily exchanged by parties for the purposes of preparing similar filings) or (ii) copies of correspondence or other documents exchanged with the staff of the PUCT or other parties in connection with any contested proceedings before the PUCT other than proceedings with respect to the STM Application. A party may, as it deems advisable and necessary for the purpose of complying with applicable Law, designate any competitively sensitive materials provided to the other under this Section 7.06(b) as “outside counsel only.” Such materials and the information contained therein shall be given only to outside counsel of the recipient and each Party shall direct and cause its outside counsel not to disclose such information to

-49-

employees, officers, or directors of the recipient without the advance written consent of the party providing such materials. Each party hereto agrees not to schedule, to the extent reasonably practicable, any substantive meetings or substantive communications with the PUCT regarding the Transactions without giving the other parties hereto or their respective Representatives a reasonable opportunity to participate in such meeting or communication to the extent permitted by the PUCT, and in any event the parties shall keep each other reasonably apprised of all material substantive communications with the PUCT regarding the Transactions; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 7.06(b) shall prevent, limit or restrict any party or its Affiliates from (i) interacting, communicating or making filings or applications with, or resolving any investigation or other inquiry of, any PUCT staff or other parties in connection with contested proceedings before the PUCT, other than proceedings with respect to the STM Application (including, for the avoidance of doubt, rate case settlement discussions to the extent the STM Application will include such term or provision being discussed in the context of a rate case settlement discussion) and (ii) responding to unsolicited inquiries related to the Transactions from any agency or other Governmental Entity in response to unsolicited communications related to the Transactions initiated by any such Person.

(i) a proposed conditional dismissal of SU and SDTS’s pending rate proceeding in Docket No. 45414 (the “SU/SDTS Rate Case”) on the terms set forth in Schedule 7.06(d)(i) hereto or on other terms that are acceptable to SU and SDTS, in their sole discretion, including a date certain for SU and SDTS to file their next rate case (the “SU/SDTS Rate Case Dismissal”);

In addition to and without limiting the other covenants of the parties contained in this Section 7.06, SDTS, SU and Oncor shall accept all requirements, conditions and limitations that are imposed by the PUCT as a condition to the PUCT Approval, other than such conditions or requirements that would, with respect to SDTS or SU, result in the failure of an SDTS/SU Regulatory Condition or, with respect to Oncor, result in the failure of an Oncor Regulatory Condition.

(e) Interim Rate Proposal.

(i) At the time the other applicable filings specified in paragraph (d) above are made, SU will propose and seek approval of agreed interim rates (“Interim Rates”) for the Residential class served under SU’s tariff applicable to the Xxxxxxx, Xxxxx and Xxxxxxx divisions in Docket No. 45414 consistent with 16 Tex. Admin. Code § 22.125. The Interim Rates will reflect a Residential class retail revenue requirement decrease of $3 million on an annual basis for the Xxxxxxx, Xxxxx and

-51-

Xxxxxxx divisions. SU will propose that the Interim Rates take effect beginning 45 days after entry of an order by the PUCT approving the Interim Rates (the “Interim Rate Order”).

Each of SDTS and Oncor agrees to provide such reasonable assistance to Oncor or Affiliates of SDTS, respectively, with respect to the preparation of any applicable pro forma financial information required to be filed by Oncor or Affiliates of SDTS, respectively, with the Securities and Exchange Commission and furnish or cause to be furnished reasonable access to personnel of SDTS or Oncor, as applicable, and its outside accountants and such other assistance and cooperation, in each case as Oncor or SDTS reasonably requests in connection with the reporting obligations of Oncor or Affiliates of SDTS, respectively, under the Exchange Act in connection with the Transactions and for any other reasonable purpose, including accounting and financial reporting matters.

(g) Motion for Bankruptcy Court Approval. Oncor agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause EFH and EFIH (i) to file a motion with the Bankruptcy Court, requesting Bankruptcy Court Approval and (ii) to take all other actions reasonably required to obtain Bankruptcy Court Approval, in each case as promptly as practicable after the date hereof.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of this Section 7.07 shall not be construed to alter or affect in any manner the rights and obligations of SDTS and SU against each other arising under or by virtue of the SU/SDTS Leases (as the same may be modified or amended from time to time).

(f) Lender Consent. The SDTS Entities shall have obtained the consent of the holders of SDTS Senior Secured Notes identified on Schedule 8.03(f) to the consummation of the Transactions to be carried out by the SDTS Entities hereunder.

(g) No Material Adverse Effect. Since the date of this Agreement, there shall not have been an Oncor Material Adverse Effect.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no SDTS Entity may rely on the failure of any condition set forth in this Section 8.03 to be satisfied if such failure (i) resulted from an action or inaction on the part of Oncor or its Affiliates requested or consented to in writing by SDTS or (ii) was caused by the failure of any SDTS Entity to comply in any material respect with its obligations under this Agreement.

Section 8.04. Conditions to the Obligation of the SU Entities. The obligation of the SU Entities to consummate the Transactions is subject to the satisfaction (or waiver by the SU Entities) of the following conditions:

(a) Regulatory Conditions. The SDTS/SU Regulatory Conditions shall have been satisfied.

(b) Representations and Warranties. The Oncor Fundamental Representations in this Agreement shall be true and correct in all respects as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date as though made on the Closing Date (except to the extent such representations and warranties expressly state that they relate to or are made as of a specific earlier date, in which case such representations and warranties shall be true and correct as of such earlier date) and all other Oncor Subject SU Representations in this Agreement shall be true and correct (without giving effect to any limitation as to “materiality” or “Oncor Material Adverse Effect” set forth therein) as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date, as though made on the Closing Date (except to the extent such representations and warranties expressly state that they relate to or are made as of a specific earlier date, in which case such representations and warranties shall be true and correct as of such earlier date), with such exceptions in the aggregate (for all representations and warranties) as would not be reasonably be expected to have an Oncor Material Adverse Effect.

(c) Performance of Obligations. Each Oncor Entity shall have performed and complied in all material respects with all obligations and covenants required by this Agreement to be performed or complied with by it prior to or at the Closing that relate to or affect the SU Merger or any of the other Transactions involving the SU Entities.

(d) Closing Payments and Deliveries. Oncor shall have made, or caused to be made, each of the payments and delivered, or caused to be delivered, to SU each of the agreements, certificates and other documents required to be made or delivered by it to SU at the Closing pursuant to Section 3.02(d).

(e) SDTS Merger and Oncor Merger. The SDTS Merger and the Oncor Merger shall be consummated concurrently with the SU Merger.

-56-

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no SU Entity may rely on the failure of any condition set forth in this Section 8.04 to be satisfied if such failure (i) resulted from an action or inaction on the part of Oncor or its Affiliates requested or consented to by SU or (ii) was caused by the failure of any SU Entity to comply in any material respect with its obligations under this Agreement.

(a) Procedures Relating to Third Party Claims. If any party or other Person entitled to indemnification under this Article X (an “Indemnified Party”) receives written notice of the commencement of any Legal Proceeding or the assertion of any Claim by a third party or the imposition of any penalty or assessment by a Governmental Authority or other Person for which indemnity may be sought under Section 10.01, Section 10.02, Section 10.03 or Section 10.04 (a “Third Party Claim”), the Indemnified Party shall promptly provide the party who is obligated to indemnify it (the “Indemnifying Party”) with written notice of such Third Party Claim, stating in reasonable detail the nature, basis and the amount thereof, to the extent known, which notice shall be accompanied by copies of the relevant notices and documents (including court papers) received by the Indemnified Party that evidence or relate to such Third Party Claim; provided, however, that the failure of the Indemnified Party to give prompt notice to the Indemnifying Party shall not affect the right of the Indemnified Party to be indemnified in respect of such Third Party Claim or related Losses, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is actually and materially prejudiced as a result of the failure to give prompt notice. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to assume the defense of any Third Party Claim with counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party by written notice of assumption delivered to the Indemnified Party within 30 days following the receipt of the written notice of the Third Party Claim referred to above; provided, however, that if, in the reasonable judgment of the Indemnified Party, there exists a material conflict of interest between the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party with respect to such Third Party Claim that would make the assumption of such Third Party Claim inappropriate or inadvisable, (i) the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to assume the defense of a Third Party Claim, (ii) the defense thereof shall be conducted by the Indemnified

-60-

Party with counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnifying Party and (iii) the Indemnifying Party shall be liable to the Indemnified Party for the reasonable and actual legal expenses incurred by the Indemnified Party in the conduct of the defense thereof (subject to the limitations set forth in Section 10.06). If the Indemnifying Party has assumed the defense of a Third Party Claim, (i) the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to the Indemnified Party for any legal expenses incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection therewith, (ii) the Indemnified Party may retain separate counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnifying Party at its sole cost and expense and participate in the defense of the Third Party Claim (but the Indemnifying Party shall control such defense), (iii) the Indemnifying Party will not (A) admit to any wrongdoing or (B) consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the Third Party Claim on the part of the Indemnified Party, in each case, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (such written consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) and (iv) the Indemnified Party shall cooperate in the defense or prosecution of the Third Party Claim, including through the retention and (upon the Indemnifying Party’s request) the provision to the Indemnifying Party of records and information that are reasonably relevant to the Third Party Claim, and making employees reasonably available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall consent to any settlement, compromise or discharge of a Third Party Claim that the Indemnifying Party may propose and that (i) includes as an unconditional term thereof a complete release of the Indemnified Party and its Affiliates from the Third Party Claim, (ii) does not require the Indemnified Party or its Affiliates to admit to any wrongdoing and (iii) does not impose any equitable relief on the Indemnified Party or its Affiliates that could reasonably be expected to affect the conduct of their business activities in any material respect. Whether or not the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party will not admit any liability with respect to, or consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to or otherwise compromise or discharge, the Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party. For the avoidance of doubt, whether or not the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party will not be obligated to indemnify the Indemnified Party hereunder for any settlement entered into or any judgment that was consented to without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party.

(b) Procedures for Non-Third Party Claims. The Indemnified Party will promptly provide the Indemnifying Party with written notice of its discovery of any matter that does not involve a Third Party Claim against the Indemnified Party, but that the Indemnified Party has determined gives rise to a Claim of indemnity hereunder, which written notice shall state in reasonable detail the nature, basis and the amount thereof, to the extent known, and be accompanied by copies of the relevant notices and documents received by the Indemnified Party that evidence or relate to such matter; provided, however, that the failure of the Indemnified Party to give prompt notice to the Indemnifying Party shall not affect the Indemnified Party’s right to indemnification hereunder except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is actually and materially prejudiced as a result of the failure to give prompt notice. The Indemnifying Party shall, within 30 days from receipt of any such notice, provide a responsive notice to the Indemnified Party acknowledging, disputing or otherwise responding to the Claim.

-66-

indemnification, contribution, repayment or other remedy or recourse directly or indirectly (through any director or officer of the other party or otherwise) from any other party with respect to any matter relating to the subject matter of this Agreement, including the Transactions (whether on the basis of a claim sounding in tort, contract, statute or otherwise) outside of the provisions of Section 1.06, Section 2.04, this Article X or Article XI or the express provisions of any Ancillary Agreement.

Section 10.08. Insurance and Other Sources of Recovery; Mitigation.

(a) In the case of any Claims for which it is reasonably likely that a party may have a direct or indirect right of recovery against or from one or more third parties or other sources (including rights of recovery under insurance policies or indemnification arrangements with third parties), such party shall seek recovery with respect to such Claims from such sources for so long as pursuit of such recovery is commercially reasonable. To the extent that a party obtains recovery in respect of any such Claims from any such sources, such party shall use the funds provided by such recovery (in lieu of funds provided by any other party pursuant to the indemnification provisions of this Article X) to pay or otherwise satisfy such Claims, and any related Losses for which indemnification is available under this Article X shall be reduced by the amount of such funds realized or paid to the Indemnified Party. If, after an Indemnified Party receives any indemnification payment in respect of Losses under this Article X, the amount of the Losses to which such payment relates is reduced by recovery, settlement or other payment by or from any other Person or source, the amount of such reduction will promptly be repaid by the Indemnified Party to the Indemnifying Party.

(b) Each party hereto shall take reasonable steps to mitigate its Losses upon and after becoming aware of any event which could reasonably be expected to give rise to any Losses for which it is or may be entitled to indemnification hereunder.

Section 10.09. Cooperation; Access to Documents and Information. The parties shall cooperate with each other in connection with resolving any Claims (including Third Party Claims) as to which indemnification is or may be required to be provided in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any Indemnified Party who elects to seek indemnification pursuant to this Agreement shall (i) provide to the Indemnifying Party, as promptly as practicable, all documents and information relating to any such Claim which are in the possession of the Indemnified Party or its Affiliates or can be obtained by the Indemnified Party without undue cost or expense and (ii) give the Indemnifying Party reasonable access to the accounting and other appropriate personnel and the independent accountants of the Indemnified Party and its Affiliates in order to permit the Indemnifying Party to obtain information reasonably required to evaluate any such Claim. In no event shall an Indemnifying Party be liable to an Indemnified Party pursuant to this Article X for any Losses arising from a Claim to the extent that such Losses could reasonably be expected to have been avoided or reduced if the Indemnified Party had complied in a timely manner with its obligations under this Section 10.09. In addition,

-67-

notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 10.09, no party or any of its Affiliates shall be obligated to provide to any other party (x) any work papers or similar materials prepared by the independent public accountants of such party or its Affiliates, except to the extent that such accountants agree to provide access to such work papers or similar materials upon such terms and conditions as shall be determined by such accountants in their sole discretion, or (y) any documents or information that are protected by the attorney-client privilege or work product doctrines if the applicable party determines in its reasonable discretion that providing copies or access to such documents or information could give rise to a possible waiver of such privilege or doctrine.

Section 10.10. Tax Treatment of Indemnification. For all Tax purposes, (a) Oncor and SDTS agree to treat (and shall cause each of their respective Affiliates to treat) any indemnity payment made pursuant to Section 10.01, Section 10.03 or Section 11.01 as an adjustment to the Final SDTS Package Amount or the Final Oncor Amount, as applicable, and (ii) Oncor and SU agree to treat (and shall cause each of their respective Affiliates to treat) any indemnity payment made pursuant to Section 10.02, Section 10.04 or Section 11.01 as an adjustment to the Final SU Amount, in each case unless a final determination by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) (which determination shall include the execution of an IRS Form 870-AD or successor form) or the applicable Taxing Authority provides otherwise.

Section 11.04. Tax Contests; Refunds; Cooperation; Tax Treatment.

(a) Within a reasonable time (but not more than ten days) after a party or any of their respective Affiliates receives written notice of any Tax contest, audit or other proceeding relating to Taxes which are attributable to a Pre-Closing Tax Period and relate to Oncor AssetCo, the Subject Oncor Operations, the Oncor T Assets, SDTS AssetCo, the Subject SDTS Operations, the SDTS Assets, SU AssetCo, the Subject SU Operations or the SU Assets (each, a “Pre-Closing Tax Contest”), the party receiving such written notice shall notify the other party or parties (Oncor, or SU or SDTS, as the case may be) in writing of such Pre-Closing Tax Contest.

-71-

(b) The party that is responsible or liable under Section 11.01 for any Taxes resulting from such Pre-Closing Tax Contest (the “Responsible Party”) shall have the sole right, at such party’s expense, to control the defense of any such Pre-Closing Tax Contest. The other party (which shall be Oncor in cases where SU or SDTS is the Responsible Party, SDTS in cases where Oncor is the Responsible Party in respect of Pre-Closing Tax Contests involving Taxes described in Section 11.01(a) or SU in cases where Oncor is the Responsible Party in respect of Pre-Closing Tax Contests involving Taxes described in Section 11.01(b) (the “Other Party”)), shall have the right to participate, at its own expense, in any such Pre-Closing Tax Contest which is reasonably anticipated to have the effect of directly increasing the Tax liability of the Other Party or its Affiliates for any Post-Closing Tax Period. The Responsible Party shall not settle or compromise any Pre-Closing Tax Contest in which the Other Party has a right to participate without the Other Party’s prior written consent if such settlement or compromise would directly and materially increase the Tax liability of the other party or its Affiliates for any Post-Closing Tax Period. Such consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided, however, that the Other Party shall consent to any settlement or compromise if the Responsible Party agrees to fully indemnify the Other Party for any increase in the Tax liability of the Other Party and its Affiliates which both is attributable to any Post-Closing Tax Period and directly results from such settlement or compromise.

(c) SDTS or SU, as the case may be, and Oncor shall jointly control the defense of any Tax contest, audit or other proceeding relating to Taxes which are attributable to a Straddle Period and relate to Oncor AssetCo, the Subject Oncor Operations, the Oncor T Assets, SDTS AssetCo, the Subject SDTS Operations, the SDTS Assets, SU AssetCo, the Subject SU Operations or the SU Assets (each, a “Straddle Tax Contest”). Within a reasonable time (but not more than ten days) after a party or any of their respective Affiliates receives written notice of any Straddle Tax Contest, the party receiving such written notice shall notify the other party (Oncor, or SU or SDTS, as the case may be) in writing of such Straddle Tax Contest. Neither party shall settle or compromise any such Straddle Tax Contest without the other party’s prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

(d) The Responsible Party shall be entitled to any refund or overpayment of Taxes relating to Oncor AssetCo, the Subject Oncor Operations, the Oncor T Assets, SDTS AssetCo, the Subject SDTS Operations, the SDTS Assets, SU AssetCo, the Subject SU Operations or the SU Assets which are attributable to any Pre-Closing Tax Period. The amount of any refund of Taxes for any Straddle Period shall be equitably apportioned between the applicable parties in accordance with the principles set forth in Section 11.01(e). Any such refunds received by the Other Party or any of its Affiliates shall promptly be paid (together with any interest received thereon, but net of reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in seeking such refund or overpayment) over to the Responsible Party. The Other Party agrees to notify the Responsible Party promptly of both the discovery of a right to claim any such refund or overpayment and the receipt of any such refund or utilization of any such overpayment.

-72-

(e) Each party shall cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other party, in connection with the filing of Tax Returns pursuant to Section 11.02, any Pre-Closing Tax Contest, Straddle Tax Contest or tax refund or overpayment claim pursuant to this Section 11.04. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the other party’s reasonable request) the provision of records and information (including making such records and information available for copying) which are reasonably relevant to any such audit, litigation or other proceeding, the timely provision to the other party of powers of attorney or similar authorizations necessary to carry out the purposes of this Article XI, and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. The parties agree to retain all books and records with respect to Tax matters pertinent to the Oncor AssetCo, Subject Oncor Operations, the Oncor T Assets, SDTS AssetCo, the Subject SDTS Operations, the SDTS Assets, SU AssetCo, the Subject SU Operations and the SU Assets relating to any Pre-Closing Tax Period until the expiration of the statute of limitations (and, to the extent notified by the other party or its Affiliates, any extensions thereof) of the respective taxable periods, and to abide by all record retention agreements entered into with any Taxing Authority.

(f) Unless otherwise required pursuant to a determination by an applicable Tax Authority, for U.S. federal income Tax purposes (and state and local tax purposes where applicable), the parties intend for the SDTS Merger and the Oncor Merger to be treated as a simultaneous exchange between Oncor and SDTS of the Oncor T Assets for the SDTS Assets which exchange, (a) to the extent such properties constitute real property or are otherwise of like kind (within the meaning of Section 1031 of the Code), will qualify for tax deferred treatment under Section 1031 of the Code to Oncor and SDTS and (b) to the extent not of like kind, under the applicable multi-asset exchange rules, will be treated as boot received in connection with asset transfers that occur pursuant to the SDTS Merger and the Oncor Merger. The parties will cooperate to structure the SDTS Merger and the Oncor Merger in a manner consistent with such intended tax treatment, including if requested by SDTS or Oncor, utilizing an “exchange accommodation titleholder” or a “qualified intermediary” as appropriate for the portion of such asset transfers that qualify as a like-kind exchange. Each party hereto shall prepare and file all Tax Returns in a manner that is consistent with the intended treatment described above, and none of the parties hereto, nor any of their respective Affiliates, shall take any position (whether in Tax Returns, Tax audits or otherwise) that is inconsistent with the intended tax treatment described in the preceding sentence.

Section 11.05. Termination of Tax Sharing Agreements. Any and all Tax allocation or Tax sharing agreements between Oncor AssetCo and any other Person, between SDTS AssetCo and any other Person and between SU AssetCo and any other Person shall be terminated as of the Closing Date and, from and after the Closing Date, none of Oncor AssetCo, SDTS AssetCo, SU AssetCo or their respective successors shall be obligated to make any payment pursuant to any such agreement for any past or future period.

Section 11.06. Private Letter Ruling.

(a) SDTS and Oncor shall use commercially reasonable efforts to, as promptly as reasonably practicable after the date hereof, jointly file with the IRS written

-73-

requests (collectively, the “Ruling Request,” and together with all related materials and supplements thereto filed or to be filed with the IRS, the “IRS Submissions”) that the IRS issue a private letter ruling or rulings (the “Private Letter Ruling”) to the effect that:

(i) Oncor’s proposed removal/elimination of the accumulated deferred federal income tax (“ADFIT”) attributable to the Oncor T Assets disposed of by Oncor and proposed manner of booking a deferred tax liability (which deferred tax liability would result in an effective reduction of Oncor’s rate base) under FAS 109 (or similar GAAP accounting principles) to account for the difference in initial GAAP and tax basis with respect to the SDTS Assets acquired by Oncor is consistent with, and does not violate, the normalization accounting rules of Section 168(i)(9) of the Code and Treasury Regulations Section 1.167(l)-1(h); and

(ii) SDTS’s proposed removal/elimination of the ADFIT attributable to the SDTS Assets disposed of by SDTS and proposed manner of booking a deferred tax liability (which deferred tax liability would result in an effective reduction of SDTS’s rate base) under FAS 109 (or similar GAAP accounting principles) to account for the difference in initial GAAP and tax basis with respect to the Oncor T Assets acquired by SDTS is consistent with, and does not violate, the normalization accounting rules of Section 168(i)(9) of the Code and Treasury Regulations Section 1.167(l)-1(h).

(b) Oncor and SDTS shall jointly prepare and file the IRS Submissions. Each party shall provide the other party and its tax counsel with copies of, and a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on drafts of all proposed IRS Submissions prepared by the first party and will incorporate any comments or suggested revisions as are reasonably requested by the other party or its tax counsel with respect thereto; provided, however, that the rights to review and comment granted hereunder shall not result in unreasonable delays in submitting the IRS Submissions to the IRS. To the extent that a party, in its good faith judgment, considers any information included in such IRS Submissions (or drafts thereof) to be confidential, such party may require that any such documents provided to the other party be redacted to exclude such information. Subject to the foregoing, a party filing an IRS Submission shall provide the other party with copies of such IRS Submission promptly following the filing thereof.

(c) A representative of each of SDTS and Oncor shall be given the opportunity to participate in all substantive scheduled communications with the IRS concerning the IRS Submissions, including all substantive scheduled conference calls and in-person meetings. In addition, each party (i) shall keep the other party reasonably informed and shall consult in good faith with the other party and its tax counsel with respect to any issue relating to the IRS Submissions and (ii) shall provide the other party with copies of all correspondence, notices, and other written materials received from the IRS and shall otherwise keep the other party and its tax counsel advised of significant developments, and of any substantive communications, in each case, regarding the IRS Submissions and the Transactions. Each party agrees to cooperate and use its commercially reasonable efforts to assist in obtaining the Private Letter Ruling requested in the Ruling Request. Each party agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to provide any appropriate information and additional representations as requested by the IRS in order to issue the Private Letter Ruling. No additional rulings will be requested unless mutually agreed by the parties.

-74-

(d) To the extent that the procedures described in Section 11.06(b) and Section 11.06(c) differ from the procedures applicable to any other regulatory filings described in Section 7.06, the procedures described in Section 11.06(b) and Section 11.06(c) shall govern.

(e) Each of the parties hereby expressly acknowledges and agrees that the obligations of the parties to consummate the Transactions are not conditioned in any way on the issuance or receipt of the Private Letter Ruling or on obtaining any specific ruling from the IRS requested in the IRS Submission.

Section 11.07. Other Provisions. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the provisions of Article X (other than Section 10.06(a), to the extent relating to the survival of the SU Tax Representations, Oncor Tax Representations or SDTS Tax Representations or the covenants set forth in this Article XI) shall not apply to indemnification with respect to Taxes or Tax Liabilities, indemnification with respect to breaches of SU Tax Representations, Oncor Tax Representations or SDTS Tax Representations, Pre-Closing Tax Contests or any other Tax matter covered under this Article XI.

Section 11.08. 1031 Allocation. SDTS and Oncor shall use commercially reasonable efforts to agree, within 30 days after the date that the Final Statements are finally determined pursuant to Section 1.6, to the classification of each SDTS Asset and Oncor T Asset for purposes of determining which of the SDTS Assets are of like-kind to the Oncor T Assets within the meaning of Section 1031 of the Code (the “1031 Allocation”). If SDTS and Oncor reach an agreement with respect to the 1031 Allocation, (i) SDTS and Oncor shall, and shall cause their Affiliates to, report consistently with the 1031 Allocation in all Tax Returns, and neither SDTS nor Oncor shall take any position in any Tax Return that is inconsistent with the 1031 Allocation, in each case, unless required to do so by a final determination as defined in Section 1313 of the Code, and (ii) each of SDTS and Oncor agree to promptly advise each other regarding the existence of any Tax audit, controversy or litigation related to the 1031 Allocation.

ARTICLE XII

Additional Agreements

Section 12.01. Publicity. No public release or announcement concerning the Transactions shall be issued by any party without the prior consent of the other parties (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), except as such release or announcement may be required by Law (including the Exchange Act) or the rules or regulations of any national securities exchange, in which case the party required to make the release or announcement shall allow the other parties reasonable time to comment on such release or announcement in advance of such issuance; provided, however, that each of the parties may make internal announcements to its employees that are consistent with the parties’ prior public disclosures regarding the Transactions; provided, further, that each of the parties may make a release or announcement without providing such release or

-75-

announcement to the other parties for comment so long as such release or announcement is substantially similar to a previous release or announcement which such other parties were allowed to comment on pursuant to this Section 12.01.

Section 12.02. Employees.

(a) No later than thirty days following the execution of this Agreement, Oncor shall make written offers of employment (each, an “Employment Offer”) to the Business Employees set forth on Schedule 12.02(a) hereto, which schedule lists the Business Employees to whom Oncor has chosen to make offers and may be modified from time to time after the date of this Agreement by Oncor with the consent of SU (which consent may not be unreasonably withheld) (the “Offered Employees”). Each Offered Employee shall receive a request for consent (a “Consent”) to be signed and returned by the Offered Employee to SU, allowing SU to release the following (collectively, “Personnel Information”): (i) relevant personnel information of the Offered Employee, including background check results, drug screening results, (ii) materials related to commercial drivers’ licenses held, and certifications, testing and documentation required by the Department of Transportation (“DOT”) or the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (collectively, “Driver Certification Materials”), (iii) lineman/apprentice training, qualification and certification records, and (iv) Form I-9 certifications, and other personally identifiable information such as contact and address information and compensation information. Upon receipt of an Employment Offer, an Offered Employee shall have ten business days to accept or reject the Employment Offer. If an Employment Offer is accepted by an Offered Employee, and except as otherwise provided herein with respect to Offered Employees on leaves of absence as of the Closing Date, the Offered Employee’s employment shall commence with Oncor effective as of the Closing Date and be conditioned upon the occurrence of the Closing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, while the commencement of an Offered Employee’s employment with Oncor shall not be conditioned on the execution of a Consent, such commencement of employment shall be conditioned on the Offered Employee satisfying Oncor’s pre-employment screening and other requirements that apply to similarly situated Oncor employees, including, but not limited to, any applicable drug testing, background checks and completion of any Oncor-required consents; provided, however, that Oncor shall use reasonable efforts to, as permitted by applicable Law, use the Personnel Information supplied by SU with respect to any Offered Employee who has executed and returned a Consent to satisfy such Offered Employee’s applicable pre-employment screening requirements. With respect to any Offered Employee to whom Oncor has made an Employment Offer pursuant to this Section 12.02(a), but who is on any leave of absence on the Closing Date, such Offered Employee shall become employed by Oncor effective as of the date such Offered Employee commences active employment with Oncor (provided that such commencement of active employment occurs not later than ninety (90) days following the Closing Date or such later time as may be required by applicable Law). The date an Offered Employee commences employment with Oncor is referred to herein as his or her “Hire Date.” SU and its Affiliates shall use commercially reasonable efforts to assist Oncor in obtaining access to the Offered Employees prior to their Hire Date in order to discuss their potential employment with Oncor; provided, however, that such access shall not unreasonably disrupt the normal business operations of SU. SU and its Affiliates shall not discourage any Offered Employee from accepting employment with Oncor or make any representations to a Business Employee about terms and conditions of employment with

-76-

Oncor; provided, however, that SU and its Affiliates may provide to Business Employees summaries of the terms of this Section 12.02(a), after giving Oncor an opportunity to review and comment on such summaries. At least ten business days prior to the Closing Date, Oncor shall deliver to SU a written notice (the “Confirmation Notice”) specifying (x) each Offered Employee who has accepted an Employment Offer and whether each such Offered Employee has satisfied Oncor’s pre-employment screening requirements referred to above and (y) each Offered Employee who has rejected an Employment Offer. As used in this Agreement, the term “Transferred Employee” means each Offered Employee who accepts an Employment Offer as provided in the preceding provisions of this Section 12.02 and who becomes employed by Oncor on or, if applicable, following the Closing Date in accordance with such Employment Offer.

(b) The employment of each Transferred Employee with SU and its Affiliates shall be deemed terminated effective as of his or her Hire Date at such time that is immediately prior to such Transferred Employee’s commencement of employment with Oncor (the “Transfer Time”). Effective as of (and conditioned upon the occurrence of) each applicable Transfer Time, SU on its own behalf and on behalf of its Affiliates, hereby waives and releases each provision of any confidentiality, non-competition, non-disclosure or other agreement between SU or any of its Affiliates and any Transferred Employee that would restrict or encumber such Transferred Employee’s ability to perform his or her duties as an employee of Oncor; provided, however, that the foregoing waiver and release shall not diminish or otherwise affect in any respect any obligations of a Transferred Employee who was employed by SU at or above the supervisor level with respect to confidential information primarily related to any business, operations, properties or assets to be retained by SDTS or SU after giving effect to the Transactions.

(c) Notwithstanding any other provision herein, each Transferred Employee who is hired into a position with Oncor that is subject to the terms of any then-existing collective bargaining agreement (each, a “Represented Transferred Employee”) with Oncor shall be employed pursuant to the terms of any applicable collective bargaining agreements that govern such position. Each Transferred Employee who is not a Represented Transferred Employee shall receive from Oncor, in connection with their employment and pursuant to its plans and policies, as they may be amended from time to time, (i) base salary or regular hourly wage equal to the greater of (A) the base salary or regular hourly wage received by such Transferred Employee from SU or its Affiliates immediately prior to the Transferred Employee’s Hire Date (the “SU Salary”) and (B) the base salary or regular hourly wage received as of the Hire Date by similarly situated employees of Oncor; provided, however, that if a Transferred Employee’s base salary or regular hourly wage as of the Transfer Time is equal to the SU Salary, such Transferred Employee’s base salary or regular hourly wage will be frozen until the base salary or regular hourly wage falls within the range of base salaries or regular hourly wages that are paid to similarly situated employees of Oncor; and (ii) benefits and incentives, including bonus opportunities, that are substantially similar in the aggregate to the benefits and incentives, including bonus opportunities, offered to similarly situated employees of Oncor; provided, further that any Business Employee who is (x) identified as a temporary employee on Schedule 12.02(a), (y) accepts an Employment Offer pursuant to Section 12.02(a) and (z) becomes employed by Oncor on or, if applicable, following the Closing Date in accordance with such Employment Offer (such Business Employee, a “Transferred Temporary Employee”) shall be eligible for severance and termination benefits in accordance with and as described on Schedule 12.02(c).

-77-

(d) Oncor shall provide each Transferred Employee with service credit for benefit eligibility and vesting purposes under the Employee Benefit Plans of Oncor listed on Schedule 12.02(d) (the “Oncor Benefit Plans”) in which such Transferred Employee participates on or after such Transferred Employee’s Hire Date (but not for benefit accrual purposes except as specifically provided on Schedule 12.02(d)) based on each such Transferred Employee’s years of service at SU or any of its Affiliates; provided, however, that such service credit shall be given in accordance with the service crediting provisions of the applicable Oncor Benefit Plan, and consistent with Schedule 12.02(d) and applicable Law; and provided, further, that such service credit shall not be provided to the extent that providing such service credit would result in a duplication of benefits for the same period of service. In calculating such service credit, Oncor shall utilize the Years of Service information provided in Section 5.16(a) of the SU Disclosure Schedule, as adjusted to take into account the amount of time between the date of this Agreement and the Hire Date. With respect to any Oncor Benefit Plans in which any Transferred Employee may, at any time, be eligible to participate that provide medical benefits (including prescription drug, but not life insurance or disability benefits), Oncor shall (i) waive any eligibility, pre-certification and participation requirements or pre-existing condition limitations to the same extent previously met under comparable SU Benefit Plans, and (ii) provide or cause to be provided to each Transferred Employee and his or her eligible dependents credit for any deductibles and out of pocket expenses that were paid (A) during the plan year that includes the Transferred Employee’s Hire Date and (B) prior to becoming eligible to participate in such Oncor Benefit Plans under the analogous SU Benefit Plan (to the same extent that such credit was given under such SU Benefit Plan) in satisfying any applicable deductible requirements and out of pocket maximums under the applicable Oncor Benefit Plan; provided, however, that waiver of any such pre-certification requirement or crediting of such payments towards deductibles and out of pocket maximums shall not occur unless and until information with respect to the pre-certification or amounts paid toward deductibles by Transferred Employees under the analogous SU Benefit Plan as of the Closing Date is provided to Oncor or the third-party administrator of the applicable Oncor Benefit Plan by SU or the third-party administrator of the applicable SU Benefit Plan, and provided, further, that Oncor shall have a reasonable period of time after receipt of such information to reflect in its system the pre-certifications received and crediting of such amounts paid towards deductibles and out of pocket maximums. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of this Section 12.02(d) shall only apply to a Represented Transferred Employee to the extent the applicable collective bargaining agreement or relationship applicable to such Represented Transferred Employee’s post-Hire Date employment permits the recognition of service (and other) credit contemplated by this Section 12.02(d).

(e) SU shall, subject to applicable Law, use commercially reasonable efforts to provide or cause to be provided to Oncor all information reasonably requested by Oncor to enable Oncor to comply with the terms of Section 12.02(d), including instructing any applicable third-party administrators to supply Oncor with pre-certification decisions and amounts paid by Transferred Employees towards any medical deductibles under the applicable SU Benefit Plan.

-78-

(f) Pursuant to the terms of the Oncor Thrift Plan (as defined below), an individual Transferred Employee may elect to rollover cash balances from the SU Benefit Plan that is a tax qualified defined contribution plan intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code (the “SU 401(k) Plan”) to the analogous Oncor Benefit Plan (the “Oncor Thrift Plan”) with respect to such Transferred Employee (each a “Cash Rollover” and together the “Cash Rollovers”). SU or an Affiliate thereof shall permit any Cash Rollover and shall, prior to the effective time of the Cash Rollovers, take any and all steps necessary to cause that the amounts included in the Cash Rollovers are fully vested prior to rollover.

(g) As soon as practicable after the Closing Date, SU shall (i) pay or cause to be paid to all Transferred Employees any bonuses and incentive compensation payments that are earned during the calendar year the Closing occurs under SU’s annual incentive compensation plans prorated from January 1 of such year through the Closing Date, based on actual results as of the Closing, and (ii) make or cause to be made to SU’s defined contribution plan, any profit-sharing and/or other non-elective contributions with respect to Transferred Employees that, pursuant to such defined contribution plan or in accordance with SU’s past practice and in the ordinary course, would normally be made with respect to compensation earned by such Transferred Employees during the calendar year in which the Closing occurs. For the avoidance of doubt, for periods after a Transferred Employee’s Transfer Time, Oncor shall be responsible for all notices of termination, termination pay, severance pay, and other liabilities and obligations under any applicable Laws or otherwise relating to such Transferred Employee and shall be responsible for salary, wages, benefit coverage, incentive compensation or paid time off earned by such Transferred Employee that relates to such Transferred Employee’s employment with Oncor.

(h) SU shall be responsible for, and shall indemnify and hold Oncor harmless for, all Losses arising from, or relating to, employees of SU and its Affiliates: (i) who do not become Transferred Employees; and (ii) who are Transferred Employees to the extent such Losses arise from or relate to acts or omissions of SU and its Affiliates occurring prior to such Transferred Employees’ Transfer Time, including in each case, termination pay, severance pay, and other liabilities and obligations under applicable Laws, Contracts, and any SU Benefit Plan. Oncor shall be responsible for, and shall indemnify and hold SU and its Affiliates harmless for, all Losses arising from, or relating to Transferred Employees to the extent such Losses arise from or relate to acts or omissions of Oncor occurring on or after such Transferred Employees’ Transfer Time, including in each case, termination pay, severance pay, and other liabilities and obligations under applicable Laws, Contracts, and any Oncor Benefit Plan. For purposes of this Section 12.02, the following claims shall be deemed to arise (and otherwise give rise to Losses) as follows: (A) life, accidental death and dismemberment on the event giving rise to such benefits; (B) short-term disability or similar benefits on the event giving rise to such benefits; (C) medical, vision, dental, and prescription drug benefits, upon delivery of the applicable services, materials or supplies; (D) long-term disability benefits, on the eligibility date determined by the long-term disability insurance carrier for the plan in which the applicable employee participates; and (E) a claim for workers’ compensation benefits shall be deemed to be incurred when the event giving rise to the claim (the “Workers Compensation Event”) occurs, and if the Workers Compensation Event occurs over a period both preceding and following a Transferred Employee’s Transfer Time, the claim shall be the joint responsibility and liability of SU and Oncor and shall be equitably apportioned between SU and Oncor based upon the relative periods of time that the Workers Compensation Event transpired preceding and following the relevant Transfer Time.

-79-

(i) If the Closing occurs, SU shall be responsible for providing applicable notices and coverage under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, as amended, to all individuals who are M&A qualified beneficiaries (within the meaning assigned to such term under Q&A-4 of Treasury Regulation section 54.4980B-9) with respect to the Transactions, in accordance with the terms of the applicable SU Benefit Plan.

(j) Nothing in this Agreement shall constitute an amendment to, or be construed as amending, any Oncor Benefit Plan, SU Benefit Plan or similar arrangement. The provisions of this Section 12.02 are solely for the benefit of Oncor and SU, and nothing in this Section 12.02, express or implied, shall confer upon any Business Employee or Transferred Employee, or legal representative or beneficiary thereof, any rights or remedies, including any right to employment or continued employment for any specified period, or compensation or benefits of any nature or kind whatsoever under this Agreement. Nothing in this Section 12.02, express or implied, shall be construed to prevent Oncor or SU from terminating or modifying to any extent or in any respect any Employee Benefit Plan that Oncor or SU may establish or maintain.

Section 12.03. Limited Representations. The parties expressly acknowledge and agree that (a) the SDTS Entities have not made and shall not be deemed to have made to Oncor any representations or warranties relating to the SDTS Assets, the Subject SDTS Operations or any other matter, except for the representations and warranties expressly made in Article IV of this Agreement, (b) the SU Entities have not made and shall not be deemed to have made to Oncor any representations or warranties relating to the SU Assets, the Subject SU Operations or any other matter, except for the representations and warranties expressly made in Article V of this Agreement and (c) the Oncor Entities have not made and shall not be deemed to have made any representations or warranties relating to the Oncor T Assets, the Subject Oncor Operations or any other matter, except for the representations and warranties expressly made in Article VI of this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the parties further acknowledge and agree that none of the SDTS Entities, the SU Entities, the Oncor Entities or their respective Affiliates or representatives has made or is making any (i) express or implied warranties as to any financial projections or other forward-looking information with respect to the Subject SDTS Operations, the Subject SU Operations or the Subject Oncor Operations, as applicable, (ii) implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose with respect to the SDTS Assets, the SU Assets or the Oncor T Assets, as applicable, or (iii) express or implied warranties as to any other matter which, under applicable Law, would be deemed to give rise to any express or implied warranty unless such warranties were expressly disclaimed, and SDTS, SU and Oncor hereby disclaim any other representations or warranties that would otherwise be deemed to be made by the SDTS Entities, the SU Entities or the Oncor Entities or their respective Affiliates or representatives in connection with this Agreement or the Transactions. Each party further agrees not to assert any Claims or take any position in any Legal Proceeding that is inconsistent with the provisions of this Section 12.03.

-80-

Section 12.04. Post-Closing Information. For a period of seven years after the Closing Date, upon reasonable written notice, each of SDTS and SU on the one hand and Oncor on the other hand shall afford or cause to be afforded to the other party and its Affiliates and their respective representatives reasonable access to the personnel, properties, books, Contracts, commitments and records, in each case if and to the extent relating to the SDTS Package, the SU Package or the Oncor T Package, as applicable, for any reasonable business purpose, including in respect of the preparation of financial statements, disclosure documents and reports or filings (including Tax Returns) with any Governmental Entity, of such other party and its affiliates; provided, however that such access does not unreasonably disrupt the normal operations of such other party or any of its Affiliates. Nothing contained in this Section 12.04 shall oblige SDTS, SU or Oncor or any of their respective Affiliates to breach any duty of confidentiality owed to any person, whether such duty arises contractually, statutorily or otherwise. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 12.04, no party or any of its Affiliates shall be obligated to provide to any other party (x) any work papers or similar materials prepared by the independent public accountants of such party or its Affiliates, except to the extent that such accountants agree to provide access to such work papers or similar materials upon such terms and conditions as shall be determined by such accountants in their sole discretion, or (y) any documents or information that are protected by the attorney-client privilege or work product doctrines if the applicable party determines in its reasonable discretion that providing copies or access to such documents or information could give rise to a possible waiver of such privilege or doctrine.

Section 12.05. Personally Identifiable Information. Each of the parties shall (a) comply with its obligations under all applicable data protection Laws relating to personally identifiable information provided to such party by another party in connection with the Transactions (“PII”) and shall hold all PII in confidence, comply with the providing party’s reasonable instructions regarding the handling of PII and take security measures to safeguard PII against unauthorized, unlawful or accidental access, loss, destruction, damage, disclosure, transfer or other improper use and (b) treat Proprietary Customer Information provided by such party as highly sensitive trade secrets consistent with applicable PURA provisions, PUCT rules, guidelines, and practices and ERCOT Protocols and practices.

Section 12.06. Nontransferable Rights.

(a) Oncor shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain at the earliest reasonably practicable date prior to the Closing Date all Oncor Required Authorizations, including the Oncor Required Authorizations set forth on Section 12.06(a) of the Oncor Disclosure Schedule. In the event that (i) any Oncor Required Authorization shall not be obtained by Oncor prior to the Closing Date or (ii) any other right is identified by SDTS to Oncor as an Oncor Nontransferable Right after the Closing Date, Oncor acknowledges and agrees that it shall be bound by, and SDTS as a result of the Oncor Merger shall have a right to enforce, Oncor’s obligations set forth in Section 1.04 of the Oncor Pre-Closing Contribution Agreement.

(b) SDTS shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain at the earliest reasonably practicable date prior to the Closing Date all SDTS Required Authorizations, including the SDTS Required Authorizations set forth on Section 12.06(b) of

-81-

the SDTS Disclosure Schedule. In the event that (i) any SDTS Required Authorization shall not be obtained by SDTS prior to the Closing Date or (ii) any other right is identified by Oncor to SDTS as an SDTS Nontransferable Right after the Closing Date, SDTS acknowledges and agrees that it shall be bound by, and Oncor as a result of the SDTS merger shall have a right to enforce, SDTS’s obligations set forth in Section 4.02 of the SDTS Pre-Closing Merger Agreement.

(c) SU shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain at the earliest reasonably practicable date prior to the Closing Date all SU Required Authorizations, including the SU Required Authorizations set forth on Section 12.06(c) of the SU Disclosure Schedule. In the event that (i) any SU Required Authorization shall not be obtained by SU prior to the Closing Date or (ii) any other right is identified by Oncor to SU as an SU Nontransferable Right after the Closing Date, SU acknowledges and agrees that it shall be bound by, and Oncor as a result of the SU merger shall have a right to enforce, SU’s obligations set forth in Section 4.02 of the SU Pre-Closing Merger Agreement.

(d) For the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding anything in this Section 12.06, the Oncor Pre-Closing Contribution Agreement or the SDTS Pre-Closing Merger Agreement to the contrary, with respect to consents required to the assignment or transfer of any Easements, the use of commercially reasonable efforts shall not require making any monetary payment to any Person entitled to consent to the assignment or transfer of an Easement (except in connection with condemnation proceedings), but shall require the party required to seek consent to pursue, whether prior to or following Closing, appropriate condemnation proceedings (and make payments required by such proceedings).

Section 12.07. Further Assurances. From time to time after the Closing, as and when requested by any party hereto, any other party shall, at the expense of the requesting party (but subject to Section 12.06), execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, all such documents and instruments and take, or cause to be taken, all such further or other actions as such requesting party may reasonably deem necessary or desirable to evidence and effectuate the Transactions. In addition, SDTS and Oncor shall (i) provide prompt notice to the other party upon discovery that any Easement reasonably believed to be primarily related to the Subject SDTS Operations or Subject Oncor Operations, as applicable, was not allocated or conveyed to the proper party upon the consummation of the Transactions, (ii) discuss and, if applicable, negotiate in good faith the appropriate remedy considering the nature of the Easement and the applicable Subject SDTS Operations or Subject Oncor Operations (including whether the Easement is reasonably necessary for such operations) and (iii) assign or otherwise convey, at the expense of the assigning or conveying party, such Easement (or easement rights pursuant to an Allocation Agreement or Easement Assignment, if applicable) to the proper party.

-84-

way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. All Exhibits and Schedules annexed hereto or referred to herein are hereby incorporated in and made a part of this Agreement as if set forth in full herein. Any capitalized terms used in any Schedule or Exhibit but not otherwise defined therein shall have the meaning as defined in this Agreement.

(b) For purposes of the representations and warranties of each party contained in this Agreement, disclosure in any section of a Disclosure Schedule delivered by such party of any facts or circumstances shall be deemed to be adequate disclosure of such facts or circumstances with respect to all other representations or warranties made by such party, whether or not such disclosure specifically identifies or purports to respond to one or more of such other representations and warranties, if it is reasonably apparent on the face of such Disclosure Schedule that such disclosure pertains to the subject matter of such other representations and warranties. Any information provided in a Disclosure Schedule is solely for informational purposes, and the inclusion of such information shall not be deemed to enlarge or enhance any of the representations or warranties of the party providing such Disclosure Schedule pursuant to this Agreement, or otherwise alter in any way the terms of this Agreement. The inclusion of any information in any section of the Disclosure Schedule or other document delivered by the parties pursuant to this Agreement shall not be deemed to be an admission or evidence of the materiality of such item, nor shall it establish a standard of materiality for any purpose whatsoever. Descriptions of terms or documents summarized in the Disclosure Schedules shall be deemed qualified in their entirety by reference to the documents themselves.

(c) For all purposes hereof, the terms “include”, “includes” and “including” shall be deemed followed by the words “without limitation”. The words “hereof”, “hereto”, “hereby”, “herein” and “hereunder” and words of similar import when used in this Agreement shall refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement. The term “or” is not exclusive. The word “extent” in the phrase “to the extent” means the degree to which a subject or other thing extends or applies, and such phrase does not mean simply “if”. The definitions contained in this Agreement are applicable to the singular as well as the plural forms of such terms. Any agreement, instrument or Law defined or referred to herein or in any agreement or instrument that is referred to herein means such agreement, instrument or Law as from time to time amended, modified or supplemented. References to a Person are also to its permitted successors and assigns.

(d) For all purposes of this Agreement, the defined terms used in this Agreement shall have the meanings ascribed to them in Schedule 1 hereto.

Section 13.06. Integrated Contract; Exhibits and Schedules. This Agreement, including the Schedules and Exhibits hereto, any written amendments to the foregoing satisfying the requirements of Section 13.11, the Confidentiality Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements, including the schedules, exhibits and annexes thereto, constitute the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and cancel, merge and supersede all prior and contemporaneous oral or written agreements, representations and warranties, arrangements and understandings relating to the subject matter hereof. The parties expressly represent that in entering into this Agreement: (a) they are not relying upon any statements, understandings, representations, expectations, or

-85-

agreements other than those expressly set forth in this Agreement; (b) they have been represented and advised by counsel in connection with this Agreement, which they have entered into voluntarily and of their own choice, and not under coercion or duress; (c) they are relying upon their own knowledge and the advice of counsel; (d) they knowingly waive any claim that this Agreement was induced by any misrepresentation or nondisclosure which could have been or was discovered before signing this Agreement; and (e) they knowingly waive any right to rescind or avoid this Agreement based upon presently existing facts, known or unknown. All Exhibits and Schedules hereto are hereby incorporated in and made a part of this Agreement as if set forth in full herein. Any capitalized terms used in any Schedule or Exhibit but not otherwise defined therein shall be defined as set forth in this Agreement. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement (including the Disclosure Schedules and Exhibits hereto), on the one hand, and the provisions of the Confidentiality Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements (including the schedules and exhibits thereto), on the other hand, the provisions of this Agreement shall control.

Section 13.07. Severability; Enforcement. The invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement or portion hereof shall not affect the validity, force or effect of the remaining provisions or portions hereof. If it is ever held that any restriction hereunder is too broad to permit enforcement of such restriction to its fullest extent, each party agrees that a court of competent jurisdiction may enforce such restriction to the maximum extent permitted by Law, and each party hereby consents and agrees that such scope may be judicially modified accordingly in any Legal Proceeding brought to enforce such restriction.

Section 13.08. Governing Law. This Agreement and any disputes arising under or related hereto (whether for breach of contract, tortious conduct or otherwise) shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas, without reference to its conflicts of law principles (except to the extent that the SDTS Merger or SU Merger is governed by the DLLCA).

Section 13.09. Choice of Forum.

(a) Each of the parties hereto (i) submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of any state or federal court sitting in Dallas, Texas in any Legal Proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements, (ii) agrees that all Claims in respect of any such Legal Proceeding may be heard and determined in any such court and (iii) agrees not to bring any Legal Proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement (whether on the basis of a Claim sounding in contract, equity, tort or otherwise) in any other court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment (subject to any appeals therefrom) in any such Legal Proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Law.

-86-

waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, the defense of an inconvenient forum or forum nonconveniens to the maintenance of such Legal Proceeding in any such court. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 13.04. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by Law.

Section 13.10. Transaction Privilege.

(a) With respect to Xxxxx Xxxxx L.L.P., Eversheds Xxxxxxxxxx (US) LLP and any other counsel that represents SDTS or SU in connection with the Transactions (collectively, “SDTS/SU Counsel”):

(i) Oncor hereby acknowledges and agrees that SDTS/SU Counsel have represented the SDTS Entities and SU Entities over a substantial period of time prior to the date hereof, including in connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Transactions, and that SDTS, SU and their respective Affiliates and representatives (each, an “SU/SDTS Group Member”) have a reasonable expectation that, after the Closing, SDTS/SU Counsel will represent them in connection with any Claim or Legal Proceeding involving any SU/SDTS Group Member, on the one hand, and any Oncor Entity and its Affiliates and representatives (each, an “Oncor Group Member”), on the other hand, arising under or relating to this Agreement or the Transactions.

(ii) Oncor, on its own behalf and on behalf of the other Oncor Group Members, hereby expressly waives and agrees not to assert any conflict of interest that may arise or be deemed to arise under any applicable Law or standard of professional responsibility if, after the Closing, SDTS/SU Counsel represent the SU/SDTS Group Members or any of them in connection with any Claim or Legal Proceeding arising under or relating to this Agreement or the Transactions.

(iii) In addition, each of the parties hereto irrevocably acknowledges and agrees that, from and after the Closing, any attorney-client privilege arising from communications prior to the Closing between any one or more representatives of SU/SDTS AssetCo, on the one hand, and SDTS/SU Counsel, on the other hand, whether related to this Agreement, the Transactions, or otherwise, shall be excluded from the property, rights, privileges, powers, franchises and other interests that are possessed by or vested in the SDTS Merger Surviving Entity or SU Merger Surviving Entity as of the SDTS Merger Effective Time or SU Merger Effective Time, respectively, pursuant to the DLLCA or the TBOC. All communications involving attorney-client confidences between SDTS AssetCo or SU AssetCo, on the one hand, and SDTS/SU Counsel, on the other hand, relating to the negotiation, documentation and consummation of the Transactions shall be deemed to be attorney-client confidences that belong solely to SDTS or SU, as applicable (and not Oncor).

(iv) Oncor agrees that it shall, and shall cause any other Oncor Group Member to, execute any document or instrument requested from time to time by SDTS, SU or SDTS/SU Counsel in order to evidence or effectuate the intentions of the parties reflected in this Section 13.10(a).

-87-

(v) This Section 13.10(a) is for the benefit of the SDTS, SU and SDTS/SU Counsel and such Persons are intended third-party beneficiaries of this Section 13.10(a). This Section 13.10(a) shall be irrevocable, and no term of this Section 13.10(a) may be amended, waived or modified, without the prior written consent of SDTS, SU and SDTS/SU Counsel.

(b) With respect to Xxxxxx & Xxxxxx LLP and any other counsel that represents Oncor in connection with the Transactions (“Oncor Counsel”):

(i) SDTS and SU hereby acknowledge and agree that Oncor Counsel has represented the Oncor Entities over a substantial period of time prior to the date hereof, including in connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Transactions, and that the Oncor Group Members have a reasonable expectation that, after the Closing, Oncor Counsel will represent them in connection with any Claim or Legal Proceeding involving any Oncor Group Member, on the one hand, and any SU/SDTS Group Member, on the other hand, arising under or relating to this Agreement or the Transactions.

(ii) SDTS and SU, on their own behalf and on behalf of their respective SU/SDTS Group Members, hereby expressly waive and agree not to assert any conflict of interest that may arise or be deemed to arise under any applicable Law or standard of professional responsibility if, after the Closing, Oncor Counsel represents the Oncor Group Members or any of them in connection with any Claim or Legal Proceeding arising under or relating to this Agreement or the Transactions.

Section 1.01 Contribution of Assets. On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, upon the delivery of the Certificate of Contribution Effectiveness, Contributor shall contribute, transfer, assign, convey and deliver to Contributee, and Contributee shall acquire and accept from Contributor, all of Contributor’s right, title and interest in, to and under the Contributed Assets; provided, however, that in the event that (a) the Net Book Value of the SDTS Package excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, the SDTS Working Capital Package minus (b) the Net Book Value of AMS CWIP is equal to an amount that exceeds $390,000,000, then the Contributed Assets shall be modified as follows: (a) the two +300/-265 MVar dynamic

The Net Book Value of any package or item identified in this Section 1.01 shall be as determined in accordance with the Merger Agreement based on the SDTS Estimated Closing Statement or Oncor Estimated Closing Statement, as applicable, and give effect to any modifications agreed pursuant to Section 1.05(e) of the Merger Agreement.

Section 1.02 Allocation of Liabilities. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Contribution:

(a) all of the Oncor Liabilities shall be assumed by Contributee (and Contributee confirms that it assumes and will be subject to the Oncor Liabilities as of the Effective Time), and from and after the Effective Time, as between Contributor and Contributee, Contributee and its successors shall be solely responsible for the Oncor Liabilities and shall indemnify Contributor and its Affiliates from and against and hold them harmless from any losses, liabilities or damages arising or resulting from the assertion or imposition of any Oncor Liabilities on Contributor or its successors or any of their respective Affiliates; and

(b) all of the Oncor Retained Liabilities shall be retained by Contributor (and Contributor confirms that it retains and will be subject to the Oncor Retained Liabilities as of the Effective Time), and from and after the Effective Time, as between Contributor and Contributee, Contributor and its successors shall be solely responsible for the Oncor Retained Liabilities and shall indemnify Contributee and its Affiliates from and against and hold them harmless from any losses, liabilities or damages arising or resulting from the assertion or imposition of any Oncor Retained Liabilities on Contributee or its successors or any of their respective Affiliates.

Section 1.03 Occurrence and Effectiveness of Contribution; Easement Assignments.

(a) In order to effect the Contribution, at the Effective Time, Contributor and Contributee shall each execute (i) a certificate confirming that the contribution is effective, in a form designed to document the effectiveness of the Contribution and reasonably acceptable to Contributor, Contributee and SDTS (the “Certificate of Contribution Effectiveness”) and (ii) such other good and sufficient instruments of contribution, conveyance, assignment or transfer as shall be necessary or reasonably requested by Contributee to contribute and transfer all right, title and interest of Contributor in, to and under the Contributed Assets, including instruments of conveyance of all Easements included in the Contributed Assets (it being understood and agreed that, in the case of any Contributed Asset the contribution and transfer of which is not effected pursuant to a separate instrument of contribution, conveyance, assignment or transfer as

contemplated by clause (ii) above, this Agreement shall be treated as self-effectuating so that this Agreement and the Certificate of Contribution Effectiveness shall be treated for all purposes as sufficient to evidence the contribution and transfer of such Contributed Asset to the Contributee). The Certificate of Contribution Effectiveness shall specify any Oncor Nontransferable Rights at the time of Closing, which Nontransferable Rights will not be transferred at the Closing, but instead will be transferred or assigned to Contributee (or Contributee’s successor) (pursuant to documentation reasonably acceptable to Contributee (or Contributee’s successor)) if and when any applicable Consent or Approval is obtained as contemplated by Section 1.04.

(b) The Contribution shall occur upon the execution of the Certificate of Contribution Effectiveness (the “Effective Time”); provided, however, that the Contribution shall take place on the same date as, but prior to, the closing of transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement.

Section 1.04 Nontransferable Rights. Contributor shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain at the earliest reasonably practicable date prior to the Closing Date the Consents and Approvals required in order to transfer and assign to Contributee all rights and interests of Contributor or its Affiliates under (a) the Contributed Warranties, (b) the Oncor Real Property Agreements and (c) the Contracts and Permits described in Section 4 of Schedule A hereto (collectively, the “Oncor Required Authorizations”), including the Oncor Required Authorizations identified in Section 12.06(a) of the disclosure schedule delivered by Oncor to SDTS pursuant to the Merger Agreement. In the event that any Oncor Required Authorization shall not be obtained by Contributor prior to the Closing Date, Contributor agrees that it will provide to Contributee on the Closing Date a list of each such Contributed Warranty, Oncor Real Property Agreement, Contract and Permit (each, together with any Contributed Warranty identified to Contributor by Contributee following Closing as requiring a Consent or Approval, an “Oncor Nontransferable Right”) that cannot be transferred and assigned at the Closing without obtaining such Oncor Required Authorizations and will continue to use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain Consents and Approvals, as promptly as reasonably practicable after the Closing Date, with respect to such Oncor Nontransferable Rights; provided, that from and after the Closing Date until such time as each such Required Authorization is obtained, Contributor shall continue to hold such Oncor Nontransferable Rights and provide Contributee with the uninhibited benefits under or in respect of all Oncor Nontransferable Rights, subject, in the case of any Contract or Permit, to the assumption by Contributee of Contibutor’s obligations thereunder. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if and so long as any Oncor Required Authorization for the transfer and assignment of any Oncor Nontransferable Rights has not been obtained, the Contributor shall, at Contributee’s expense, (i) hold any such Oncor Nontransferable Rights in trust for the use and benefit of the Contributee, (ii) provide the Contributee with such benefits under or in respect of such Oncor Nontransferable Rights as will not result in a violation or breach of, or constitute a default under, the terms thereof, including enforcement for the account of the Contributee of any and all rights of the Contributor in respect of Claims that the Contributor may now or hereafter have against any other party thereto, whether arising from the breach or cancellation thereof or otherwise, (iii) to the extent that such action will not result in a breach or violation of, or default under, the terms of such Oncor

Nontransferable Rights, transfer to the Contributee all assets and rights, including all monies, received in respect of such Oncor Nontransferable Rights and (iv) to the extent that the provisions of clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above are not sufficient to transfer all of the benefits of such Oncor Nontransferable Rights (other than legal title), take such actions as are reasonably required to transfer all of the benefits of such Oncor Nontransferable Rights (other than legal title) to Contributee.

Section 1.05 Tax Treatment. Because Contributee is disregarded as separate from Contributor for U.S. federal income tax purposes, Contributee and Contributor intend to treat the Contribution as disregarded for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

It is specifically understood and agreed that the license granted under Section 2.1 (and the right to grant a sublicense under Section 2.2) hereof does not apply to any future extension or redirection of any transmission line outside of the Applicable Transmission Systems as they exist on the Effective Date.

SECTION 3. Confidentiality

3.1 Restrictions on Proprietary Information. During and after the term of this Agreement, (a) SDTS shall only use the Proprietary Information furnished to SDTS, directly or indirectly, in writing or otherwise, in SDTS’s use, operation, maintenance and restoration of the Applicable Transmission Systems pursuant to the license granted in Section 2 of this Agreement, and (b) SDTS shall not use or disclose to others, directly or indirectly, the Proprietary Information except as expressly allowed under this Agreement.

3.2 Permitted Disclosures. Notwithstanding the restrictions on disclosure and use of the Proprietary Information imposed on SDTS under this Agreement, SDTS shall have the limited right to make disclosures of only the pertinent portions of the Proprietary Information on a strict need to know basis to the Permitted Recipients. “Permitted Recipients” shall only include the following:

(a) any Operator, which, as noted in Section 2.2, shall include SU as of the Effective Date;

-5-

(b) employees of SDTS or any Operator to the extent such employees are involved in the operation, maintenance and restoration of the Applicable Transmission Systems; and

(c) suppliers or contractors of SDTS or any Operator to whom such disclosure is necessary for the letting of bids for operation, maintenance, and restoration of the Applicable Transmission Systems and then for the performance by such supplier or contractor winning such bids.

provided, however, that as a condition to any such disclosure, SDTS shall obtain from each such supplier or contractor of SDTS or any Operator either: (i) an Undertaking in the form of Exhibit C, or (ii) a master services agreement or similar agreement (an “MSA”) containing confidentiality and use restrictions on Proprietary Information and assignment of Improvements provisions, in each case, substantially similar to those contained in the sample provisions attached as Exhibit D hereto. SDTS and any Operator shall be responsible, and agree to cooperate with Oncor in seeking a remedy, for any breach of the confidentiality or use restrictions on Proprietary Information or the assignment of Improvements provisions set forth in this Agreement by any Permitted Recipient, and Oncor shall have the right to seek a remedy against SDTS with respect to any claim arising out of the breach of an Undertaking or an MSA by an Operator or a Permitted Recipient (or any employee of any such Operator or Permitted Recipient). SDTS shall provide to Oncor a copy of any Undertaking executed by any supplier or contractor as promptly as practicable. In addition, SDTS shall, within ten (10) business days of receipt of a written request from Oncor, provide a copy of any MSA executed by a contractor or supplier and not previously provided to Oncor; provided, however, and SDTS may redact the provisions unrelated to (X) Sections 3 and 6, and (Y) any relevant allocation of risk related to Sections 3 and 6.

3.3 The restrictions on use, duplication and disclosure of Proprietary Information in this Section 3 shall not apply to information:

(a) which was developed or owned by SDTS or any Permitted Recipient and was in SDTS’s or such Permitted Recipient’s possession before its receipt from Oncor as demonstrated by documentary evidence;

(b) which at the time of its disclosure to SDTS or any Permitted Recipient is, or thereafter becomes through no breach of this Agreement on the part of SDTS, an Operator, or any Permitted Recipient, part of the public domain, publicly known Good Utility Practice or is commonly known in the utility industry;

(c) which has been furnished to SDTS or any Permitted Recipient by a third party who is not under a contractual obligation to keep such information confidential; or

(d) which is independently developed by or on behalf of SDTS or any Permitted Recipient without the use of or reference to the Proprietary Information.

The above exceptions shall not be construed as an express or implied grant of any rights under Oncor’s copyrights or patents. An individual feature of the Proprietary Information shall not be considered to be within the above exceptions merely because the feature is embraced by general

-6-

information within the exceptions. A combination of features of the Proprietary Information shall not be considered to be within the exceptions unless the combination itself and its principle of operation are within the exceptions.

3.4 Legal Process. In the event that SDTS or any Operator is legally compelled (by oral questions, interrogatories, requests for information, subpoena of documents, civil investigative demand or similar process or otherwise pursuant to Law, including, without limitation, the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PUCT), according to advice of counsel, to disclose any Proprietary Information, SDTS or any Operator shall, to the extent permitted by Law, provide Oncor with prompt notice of such pending disclosure so that Oncor may seek, at Oncor’s sole expense, a protective order or other appropriate remedy or waive compliance with the provisions of this Section 3. To the extent SDTS or any Operator is required to furnish Proprietary Information, whether or not a protective order or other appropriate remedy is obtained, SDTS or any Operator agrees to furnish only that portion of the Proprietary Information that is legally required to be disclosed, according to advice of counsel. SDTS will use reasonable best efforts to cause any other Permitted Recipient to follow the procedures set forth in this Section 3.4 in the event such Permitted Recipient is legally compelled, according to advice of counsel, to disclose any Proprietary Information.

3.5 Marking of Documents Bearing Proprietary Information. SDTS shall not remove any confidentiality legend appearing on drawings, charts, blueprints, specifications, computer files or other electronic or storage media Oncor delivers to SDTS or its Permitted Recipients under this Agreement. With respect to any documents SDTS or Operator prepares that contain any Proprietary Information, SDTS or any such Operator shall xxxx and shall use reasonable best efforts to cause any other Permitted Recipient to xxxx, any such documents or information with the legend below, provided neither SDTS nor any Operator shall be required to add any such xxxx to any documents or information that are received from Oncor without such xxxx. In addition, any such documents which SDTS or its Permitted Recipients are required by legal process or Law to disclose pursuant to Section 3.4 shall be marked with the following legend:

“CONFIDENTIAL –

This drawing, document, or file constitutes and contains trade secrets, and confidential proprietary information of Oncor Electric Delivery Company LLC.”

3.6 Notice and Remedies. SDTS shall notify Oncor promptly upon discovery of any unauthorized use or disclosure of Proprietary Information and shall use reasonable best efforts to cooperate with Oncor to help regain possession of such Proprietary Information and prevent its further unauthorized use or disclosure.

3.7 Survival of Obligations. The obligations of this Section 3 shall survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement.

SECTION 4. Audit Rights. During the term of the Agreement and for one year following its termination, SDTS, the Operator and their Affiliates shall maintain and make

-7-

available records sufficient to permit third party representatives of Oncor to verify compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Third party representatives of Oncor may, one time per calendar year, upon ten (10) days’ written notice, during regular business hours and following execution of a confidentiality agreement reasonably acceptable to SDTS or the Operator, as applicable, reasonably inspect SDTS, the Operator and their Affiliates’ facilities where the Proprietary Information is being used or stored; provided, however, that SDTS, the Operator and their Affiliates may take reasonable measures to protect their own confidential and proprietary information in connection with any such audit to the extent such reasonable measures do not prevent the third party representatives to conduct the audit. The audit will be performed at Oncor’s expense. The Third Party Representatives shall have the right to advise Oncor of their conclusions as to compliance or noncompliance, any item of specific Proprietary Information or Improvement involved, and the details of the noncompliance. If the audit reveals any noncompliance by SDTS, the Operator or their Affiliates, such noncompliance shall be promptly cured.

5.1 WARRANTY; DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES

(a) Oncor warrants to SDTS that to the Knowledge of Oncor, Oncor has the right to grant the license granted herein.

6.2 SDTS agrees that Oncor shall own all SDTS Improvements arising out of this Agreement, any Undertaking or any MSA entered into by SDTS or any Operator. SDTS hereby presently assigns, sells and transfers such SDTS Improvements to Oncor (or its designee or assignee) all right, title and interest in and to the intellectual property in and to the SDTS Improvements, including the right to xxx for past, present and future infringement or misappropriation of such intellectual property and recover and retain damages for any such infringement or misappropriation. In addition, upon written request from Oncor following delivery of an SDTS Improvement Notice, SDTS shall cooperate with Oncor, at Oncor’s sole expense, in causing any applicable Permitted Recipient to assign by written contract to Oncor (or its designee or assignee) all right, title and interest in and to any SDTS Improvements such SDTS Permitted Recipients may have in and to all intellectual property in and to the SDTS

Unless otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, no delay or omission on the part of any Party in exercising any right or privilege under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any waiver on the part of any Party of any right or privilege under this Agreement operate as a waiver of any other right or privilege under this Agreement nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right or privilege preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or privilege under this Agreement.

The Service Recipient shall

-2-

comply in all material respects with all applicable policies and procedures of the Service Provider as provided to the Service Recipient from time to time, including any changes required by applicable Law; provided, however, that the Service Provider will use commercially reasonable efforts to comply with the Service Recipient’s policies and procedures if agreed by the Parties or, in the case of the McAllen Services, reasonably necessary to comply with the applicable tariff. The Service Recipient acknowledges and agrees that, after the expiration or termination of the obligations of the Service Provider to provide specific Services pursuant this Agreement, the Service Recipient shall be solely responsible for providing or arranging for the provision of similar or replacement services, and neither the Service Provider nor any of its Affiliates shall be responsible for any Losses or other consequences arising from the inability or failure on the part of the Service Recipient or any of its Affiliates to provide similar or replacement services for itself or to arrange for such services to be provided by Third Parties.

2.2 Third Party Consents.

(a) The Parties acknowledge and agree that it may be necessary to obtain from Third Parties certain consents, permits, licenses, and or sublicenses (the “Services Consents”) in order for (i) the Service Provider to use third-party applications, systems, networks, services and the like in the provision of certain Services and/or (ii) the Service Recipient to receive certain Services.

(b) The Parties will cooperate to obtain the Service Consents; provided, however, that if the necessary consents cannot reasonably be obtained in a timely manner without commercially unreasonable effort or expense, the Parties hereto will cooperate in good faith to arrange for mutually acceptable alternative methods of delivering any applicable Service.

2.3 No Implied Representations. Except as specifically provided in the applicable portion of Exhibit A or Exhibit B with respect to a particular Service, the Service Provider is not making any express or implied representation, warranty or guaranty relating to the Services to be performed by the Service Provider under this Agreement, including, without limitation, any warranty of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose.

2.4 Third Party Providers. The Parties acknowledge and agree that certain of the Services hereunder may be provided to or for the benefit of the Service Recipient by Third Parties (each, a “Third-Party Provider”) on behalf or at the request of the Service Provider. Nothing in this Agreement will be construed to limit either Party’s right to administer, in its sole discretion, its relationships with Third-Party Providers, including, but not limited to, such Party’s right to amend, modify or terminate existing Contracts with Third-Party Providers or enter into new contracts with Third-Party Providers. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at least ten business days prior to engaging any Third-Party Provider that is not a Third-Party Provider of the Service Provider as of the Effective Date (a “New Third-Party Provider”), the Service Provider shall inform the Service Recipient of such change by providing written notice (a “Change Notice”) thereof. If the Service Recipient objects to the engagement of the New Third-Party Provider prior to the date for the commencement of its engagement specified in the Change Notice, the Parties shall discuss in good faith a resolution to such objection, whether by engaging an alternate Third-Party Provider or otherwise; provided, however, that the Service Provider shall be relieved, during

-3-

the pendency of such discussions, of its obligation to provide the relevant Services to the extent the Third-Party Provider currently performing the relevant Services is unable or unwilling to continue performing such Services; and provided, further that, without limiting Section 5.3, the Service Provider shall not be required to deliver a Change Notice prior to engaging any New Third-Party Provider to the extent such engagement is reasonably necessary or advisable to provide Services in response to natural disasters, acts of God, fires or terrorist attacks or any event posing an imminent threat to health or human safety, the integrity of the assets operated by the Service Provider or the Service Recipient’s ability to provide service to customers.

SECTION 3. Pricing; Payment Terms.

3.1 Pricing. The Service Recipient agrees to pay to the Service Provider the amounts specified under “Cost of Service,” if any, with respect to a particular Service, as set forth in Exhibit A or Exhibit B, as applicable.

3.2 Payment Terms. Any amounts due under this Agreement shall be billed and paid for in the following manner: (a) the Service Provider shall invoice the Service Recipient on a monthly basis for all Services delivered during the preceding month; (b) each such invoice shall include a reasonably detailed breakdown of the allocation of overhead in connection with such Services, if any; (c) each such invoice shall be payable within thirty days of receipt thereof; and (d) payment of all invoices in respect of the applicable Services provided hereunder shall be made in U.S. Dollars ($) payable by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such account or accounts as may be designated from time to time by the Service Provider. If the Service Recipient disputes the accuracy of any such invoice, the Service Recipient shall pay to the Service Provider the undisputed amount and the Parties shall, without prejudice to the Service Provider’s rights pursuant to Section 11.2 or Section 17, promptly work in good faith to resolve any disputed amounts. In the event that the Service Recipient fails to pay in full any invoice when due (other than any such amount that is being disputed by the Service Recipient in good faith, except to the extent that it is ultimately determined that such disputed amount is validly due and owed to Service Recipient), interest shall accrue daily on the unpaid amount from the date when due until such amounts are paid at a rate equal to 10% per annum.

SECTION 4. Taxes. Each Party shall be solely responsible for the reporting, withholding and payment of (a) any real or personal property Taxes on property it owns or leases, (b) franchise, margin, privilege and similar Taxes on its business, (c) the employment Taxes of its employees and (d) Taxes based on its income or gross receipts; provided, for the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 4 shall change the allocation of liability with respect to Taxes as set forth in Section 11.01 of the Merger Agreement.

SECTION 5. Limitations.

5.1 Cooperation. The Service Recipient shall use all reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Service Provider in order to facilitate the provision and receipt of the Services hereunder. Each Party acknowledges that the performance of the Services by the Service Provider is dependent upon such reasonable cooperation. If any failure of the Service Recipient to comply with this Section 5.1 prevents the Service Provider from providing any Services, the Service

-4-

Provider shall give notice to the Service Recipient in writing and shall be relieved, for as long as such failure continues, of its obligation to provide the relevant Services to the extent such failure renders such provision of Services unduly burdensome or commercially unreasonable.

5.2 Changes in Laws. Neither Party shall be required to perform any obligation under this Agreement to the extent performance of such obligation is prohibited by, or would require the Party to violate, any applicable Law, including without limitation any rule or regulation promulgated by the PUCT or ERCOT.

5.3 Force Majeure. The Service Provider shall not be responsible or liable to the Service Recipient for any delay or failure to perform under this Agreement due to circumstances beyond its control, including any acts of God, acts of any Governmental Entity or military authority, fires, explosions, power failures, telecommunications service failures, floods, storms, tornadoes, earthquakes, elements of nature, epidemics, riots or civil disturbances, wars, sabotage, terrorism, rebellions or revolutions or similar events and any delays or failures caused by the nonperformance on the part of the Service Recipient or its Affiliates or the nonperformance on the part of any Third Party engaged by or under the control or responsibility of the Service Recipient. The Service Provider will promptly notify the Service Recipient in writing upon learning of the occurrence of such event of force majeure and detailing which Service (or portion of any Service) is directly impacted by such event of force majeure. The Service Provider will use commercially reasonable efforts to resume its performance of such impacted Services as promptly as reasonably practicable after the cessation of the force majeure event.

SECTION 6. Confidentiality. Each Party recognizes that, in the course of performing or receiving, as applicable, the Services hereunder, it may acquire proprietary, secret or confidential information concerning the business and operations of the other Party or its Affiliates. Accordingly, each Party covenants to the other Party that it will not, and it will not permit any of its Affiliates to, for a period of two years following the expiration or termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 11.1 or 11.2, except in connection with the enforcement of its rights under this Agreement or with the prior written consent of the other Party, disclose to any Third Party any proprietary, secret or confidential information obtained in connection with this Agreement and relating to the other Party or its Affiliates or their respective businesses and operations. The foregoing obligations of each Party receiving proprietary, secret or confidential information shall not apply to any information that (x) is or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of disclosure by such Party or its Affiliates, (y) was or becomes available on a non-confidential basis to such Party from a source other than the other Party (other than in connection with the provision of Services hereunder) or (z) is required to be disclosed by such Party under applicable Law.

SECTION 7. Systems Access. To the extent that a Party and/or its Affiliates is given access to the computer systems, infrastructure, databases, software, facilities or networks of the other Party or any Third-Party Provider (“Systems”) in connection with the performance or receipt of Services hereunder, such access shall be limited to access in connection with performance or receipt, as applicable, of such Services. Each Party shall cause its personnel and any personnel of its Affiliates with such access to comply with the system security policies, standards, procedures and requirements of the other Party or any Third-Party Provider, as

-5-

reasonably revised from time to time, with regard to the Systems or in any applicable license agreement or lease agreement in effect with regard to the Systems (the “Security Regulations”), and will not tamper with, compromise or circumvent any security or audit measures employed by the other Party or any Third-Party Provider, as applicable; provided, in either case, that such Party has prior notice of the applicable Security Regulations or security or audit measures.

SECTION 8. Relationship of the Parties. In connection with this Agreement, each Party is acting as a principal or an independent contractor and, as such, shall not have any authority to bind or commit the other Party. Nothing in this Agreement will be deemed or construed to create a joint venture, partnership or agency relationship between the Parties for any purpose. The Parties are not joint employers for any purpose, and each Party (or their respective subcontractors) will have the sole right to exercise all authority with respect to, and the sole responsibility for, the employment (including termination of employment), assignment and compensation of its employees and representatives providing services hereunder.

SECTION 9. Indemnification. The Service Recipient shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Service Provider and each of its Affiliates, and each of their respective officers, directors, employees, members, managers, partners, agents, representatives and successors and assigns (such persons or entities being referred to, in relation to the Service Provider and its Affiliates, as their “Covered Persons”), from and against any and all Losses incurred by the Service Provider or its Affiliates or their respective Covered Persons based upon or arising from any Claim asserted or commenced against or sought to be imposed on any such persons by a third party as a result of or in connection with the performance of Services by the Service Provider (regardless of whether such Losses arise from the negligence or other fault of the Service Provider or any of its Affiliates or any of their Covered Persons), except to the extent that such Losses are determined by final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to result from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Service Provider or any of its Affiliates.

SECTION 10. Limitation of Liability.

10.1 No Consequential Damages. In no event shall either Party or its Affiliates or any of their respective Covered Persons be liable to the other Party for punitive, incidental, consequential, special or indirect damages, or loss of future profits, revenue or income, damages based on a multiple of earnings, diminution in value or loss of business reputation or opportunity in connection with this Agreement or relating to the breach or alleged breach of the Agreement, regardless of whether such damages or losses were foreseeable or would be recoverable under the standard set forth in Section 11(a).

10.2 Other Liability. Neither Party nor its Affiliates nor any of their respective Covered Persons shall have any liability whatsoever to the other Party and its Affiliates in connection with this Agreement or the performance of Services hereunder (regardless of whether such liability arises from the negligence or other fault of such Party or any of its Affiliates or any of their respective Covered Persons), except to the extent such liability is determined by final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to arise from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Party or its Affiliates; provided, however, that in no event shall the liability of

-6-

either Party, its Affiliates or their respective Covered Persons for Losses hereunder (notwithstanding the fact that such liability is or may be based on allegations of gross negligence or willful misconduct) exceed $200,000 in the aggregate.

10.3 Exceptions. The limitations set forth in this Section 10 shall not apply to (a) a Party’s indemnification obligations pursuant to Section 9 or (b) a Party’s payment obligations pursuant to Section 3.

SECTION 11. Term and Termination.

11.2 Termination of this Agreement. This Agreement or any Service hereunder may be terminated by either Party (the “Terminating Party”) upon delivery of written notice to the other Party if the other Party:

(b) materially defaults in the performance of any of its covenants or obligations contained in this Agreement and such default is not remedied to the nondefaulting Party’s reasonable satisfaction within 15 days after notice to the defaulting Party of such default; or

(c) commences any Legal Proceeding against the Terminating Party seeking recovery of any Losses in connection with this Agreement (other than any Legal Proceeding seeking enforcement of the confidentiality obligations of a Party, seeking indemnification from a Party pursuant to Section 9 or for the payment of amounts payable by a Service Recipient to the Service Provider for Services in accordance with Section 3).

11.3 Termination of Services. Without limiting Section 11.2, a Service Provider’s obligation to perform, or a Service Recipient’s obligation to receive, specific Services under this Agreement may be terminated in accordance with the applicable provisions set forth in Exhibit A or Exhibit B; provided, however, that Service Recipient may terminate (a) the provision of any Service (other than the McAllen Services) by Service Provider at any time upon 30 days’ prior written notice and (b) the provision of the McAllen Services by Service Provider at any time upon 45 days’ prior written notice.

11.4 Effect of Termination. Sections 1, 2.3, 3, 4, 6, and 9 through 17 shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

-7-

SECTION 12. Integrated Contract; Exhibits. This Agreement, including the Exhibits hereto, together with the Merger Agreement and each of the Ancillary Agreements, constitutes the entire agreement between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and cancels, merges and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous oral or written agreements, representations and warranties, arrangements and understandings relating to the subject matter hereof.

All Exhibits hereto are hereby incorporated in and made a part of this Agreement as if set forth in full herein.

Unless otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, no delay or omission on the part of any Party in exercising any right or privilege under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any waiver on the part of any Party of any right or privilege under this Agreement operate as a waiver of any other right or privilege under this Agreement nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right or privilege preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or privilege under this Agreement.

SECTION 14. Assignment; Parties in Interest. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights or obligations of the Parties hereunder may be assigned without the prior written consent of the other Party.

The Service Provider will maintain such books and records for 2 years after the applicable books or records were created, or such longer period as may be required by applicable Law.

SECTION 16. No Third-Party Beneficiaries.

The indemnification required under this Section 15.1 does not include responsibility for either Party’s costs and expenses of prosecuting or defending an action or claim against the other Party or damages for the disruption of such Party’s business.

ARTICLE XVII — SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS

17.1 Subject to the provisions of Section 17.2 below, this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the permitted successors and assigns or the respective Parties.

17.2 Neither Party shall assign, directly or indirectly by operation of law or otherwise, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement in whole or in part without the prior written consent of the other Party. Such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed, provided that neither Party will be required to consent to any assignment that would (a) subject it to additional federal or state regulation; (b) result in the imposition of additional costs of administration that the Party requesting consent to assignment does not agree to reimburse; or (c) in any way diminish the reliability of its system, enlarge its obligations, or otherwise create or maintain an unacceptable condition. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, (a) Sharyland may assign (directly or indirectly by operation of law or otherwise), without consent of Oncor, its interest in this Agreement, in whole or in part, to SDTS; and (b) a Party may assign, without the consent of the other Party, its interest in this Agreement, in whole or in part, (i) to a successor to all or a substantial portion of the Party’s business; (ii) to any transmission service provider (including an affiliate of the assigning Party) with the legal authority and operational ability to satisfy the obligations of the assigning Party under this Agreement; or (iii) for collateral security purposes in connection with any financing or financial arrangements. Any attempted assignment that violates this Section 17.2 shall be void and ineffective ab initio.

17.3 This Agreement is not intended to and shall not create rights of any character whatsoever in favor of any Persons other than the Parties, and the obligations herein assumed arc solely for the use and benefit of the Parties.

ARTICLE XVIII — GOVERNING LAW AND REGULATION

18.1 This Agreement was executed in the State of Texas and must in all respects be governed by, interpreted, construed, and enforced in accordance with the laws thereof except as to matters exclusively controlled by the Constitution and statutes of the United States of America.

18.2 This Agreement and all obligations hereunder, are expressly conditioned upon obtaining all required approvals, authorizations, or acceptances for filing by any regulatory authority whose approval, authorization or acceptance for filing is required by law. Both Parties hereby agree to support the approval of this Agreement before such regulatory authority and to provide such documents, information, and opinions as may be reasonably required or requested by either Party in the course of approval proceedings.

ARTICLE XIX — DEFAULT AND FORCE MAJEURE

19.1 The term “Force Majeure” as used herein shall mean any cause beyond the reasonable control of the Party claiming Force Majeure, and without the fault or negligence of such Party, which materially prevents or impairs the performance of such Party’s obligations hereunder, including but not limited to, storm, flood, lightning, earthquake, fire, explosion, failure or imminent threat of failure of facilities, civil disturbance, strike or other labor disturbance, sabotage, war, national emergency, or restraint by any federal, state, local or municipal body having jurisdiction over a Party.

19.2 Neither Party shall be considered to be in Default (as hereinafter defined) with respect to any obligation hereunder, other than the obligation to pay money when due, if prevented from fulfilling such obligation by Force Majeure. A Party unable to fulfill any obligation hereunder (other than an obligation to pay money when due) by reason of Force Majeure shall give notice and the full particulars of such Force Majeure to the other Party in writing or by telephone as soon as reasonably possible after the occurrence of the cause relied upon. Telephone notices given pursuant to this Section shall be confirmed in writing as soon as reasonably possible and shall specifically state full particulars of the Force Majeure, the time and date when the force Majeure occurred and when the Force Majeure is reasonably expected to cease. The Party affected shall use commercially reasonable efforts to remove such disability with reasonable dispatch, but shall not be required to accede or agree to any provision not satisfactory to it in order to settle and terminate a strike or other labor disturbance.

ARTICLE XX — TERMINATION ON DEFAULT

20.1 The term “Default” shall mean the failure of either Party to perform any obligation in the time or manner provided in this Agreement. No Default shall exist where such failure to discharge an obligation is excused pursuant to Section 19.2 or is the result of an act or omission of the other Party or any of its agents. Upon discovery of a Default, the non-defaulting Party may give notice of such Default to the defaulting Party. Except as provided in Section 20.2, the defaulting Party shall have thirty (30) days from receipt of the Default notice within which to cure such Default; provided, however, if such Default is not capable of cure within thirty (30) days, the defaulting Party shall commence such cure within twenty (20) days after receipt of the Default notice and continuously and diligently exercise its efforts to complete such cure within ninety (90) days from receipt of the Default notice; and, if cured within such time, the Default specified in such notice shall cease to exist.

20.2 If a Default is not cured as provided in Section 20.1, or if a Default is not capable of being cured within the period provided for therein, the non-defaulting Party shall have the right, subject to receipt or any regulatory approvals required by applicable law, (a) to terminate, in its sole discretion, by written notice at any time until cure occurs either (i) this Agreement or (ii) any Facility Schedules as to which the Default relates and disconnect the associated Points of Interconnection, (b) to be relieved of any further obligation (i) hereunder (other than obligations associated with its own Defaults, if any, occurring prior to termination) if that Party shall have elected to terminate this Agreement or (ii) with respect to the terminated Facility Schedules and disconnected Points of Interconnection if it shall have elected to terminate any Facility Schedules as to which the Default relates and (c), whether or not that Party terminates this Agreement or any Facility Schedule, to recover from the defaulting Party all amounts due and receive all other remedies to which it is entitled hereunder. The provisions of this Section 20.2 will survive termination of this Agreement.

20.3 The failure of the Parties to insist, on any occasion, upon strict performance of this Agreement will not be considered to waive the obligations, rights, or duties imposed upon the Parties by this Agreement.

ARTICLE XXI — MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

21.1 Any undertaking by a Party to the other Party under this Agreement shall not constitute the dedication of the electrical system or any portion thereof of that Party to the public or to the other Party, and it is understood and agreed that any such undertaking shall cease upon the termination of this Agreement.

21.2 NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING HEREIN TO THE CONTRARY, IN NO EVENT SHALL EITHER PARTY BE LIABLE UNDER ANY PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT FOR ANY LOSSES, DAMAGES, COSTS OR EXPENSES FOR ANY SPECIAL, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF PROFIT OR REVENUE, LOSS OF THE USE OF EQUIPMENT, COST OF CAPITAL, COST OF TEMPORARY EQUIPMENT OR SERVICES, WHETHER BASED IN WHOLE OR IN PART IN CONTRACT OR IN TORT, INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY, OR ANY OTHER THEORY OF LIABILITY; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT DAMAGES FOR WHICH A PARTY MAY BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER PARTY UNDER ANOTHER AGREEMENT (OR TO ANY THIRD PARTY) WILL NOT BE CONSIDERED TO BE SPECIAL, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES HEREUNDER.

21.3 This Agreement is applicable only to the interconnection of the facilities of the Parties at the Points of Interconnection and does not obligate either Party to provide, or entitle either Party to receive, any service not expressly provided for herein. Each Party is responsible for making the arrangements necessary to receive any other service that either Party may desire from the other Party or any third party.

21.4 This Agreement, including all Facility Schedules, constitutes the entire agreement and understanding between the Parties with regard to the interconnection of the facilities of the Parties at the Points of Interconnection expressly provided for in this Agreement. The Parties are not bound by or liable for any statement, representation, promise, inducement, understanding or undertaking of any kind or nature (whether written or oral) with regard to the subject matter hereof if not set forth or provided for herein. This Agreement replaces all other agreements and undertakings, oral and written, between the Parties with regard to the subject matter hereof, and all such agreements and undertakings are agreed by the Parties to no longer be of any force or effect. It is expressly acknowledged that the Parties may have other agreements covering other services not expressly provided for herein; such agreements are unaffected by this Agreement.

21.5 This Agreement shall not affect the obligations or rights of either Party with respect to other agreements (other than those specifically superseded by Section 21.4). Each Party represents to the other that there is no agreement or other obligation binding upon it, which, as such Party is presently aware, would limit the effectiveness or frustrate the purpose of this Agreement.

21.6 This Agreement may be amended only upon mutual agreement of the Parties, which amendment will not be effective until reduced to writing and executed by each Party.

21.7 If any provision of this Agreement is finally determined to be invalid, void or unenforceable by any court having jurisdiction, such determination shall not invalidate, void or make unenforceable any other provisions, agreements or covenants of this Agreement.

21.8 The descriptive headings of the various sections of this Agreement have been inserted for convenience of reference only and are to be afforded no significance in the interpretation or construction of this Agreement.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Parties have caused this Agreement to be executed by the undersigned authorized representatives.
