Of the 2017 distribution Incremental CapEx, an aggregate of $1,590,165 was expected to be in service as of the Exchange Transaction Closing Date (“First 2017 Distribution CapEx”), with an expected weighted average in-service date of June 1, 2017, and an aggregate of $(70,833) was expected to be placed in service throughout the remainder of 2017 (“2017 Stub-Year Distribution CapEx”), with an expected weighted average in-service date of December 1, 2017.

** Represents the aggregate amount of transmission Incremental CapEx the Parties expected to be placed in service in 2017.

The Parties expected the First 2017 Transmission CapEx and Pre-Closing Second 2017 Transmission CapEx, collectively, to have a weighted average in-service date of April 1, 2017. A “Regulatory Order” is defined as either (i) the PUCT’s approval of Lessee’s application for updated wholesale transmission rates or (ii) final resolution or settlement of a rate case applicable to Lessee’s transmission rates (but, for the avoidance of doubt, does not include the order approving the Exchange Transaction, the dismissal of the Parties’ pending rate case filed in 2016 or associated orders in connection therewith). Pursuant to the Eleventh Amended Supplement, the Parties expected the first 2017 Regulatory Order to be effective on May 1, 2017, the second 2017 Regulatory Order to be effective on March 1, 2018 and the first 2018 Regulatory Order to be effective on June 1, 2018.
