ARTICLE II

ISSUANCE RIGHT; REPURCHASE RIGHT; TERM

Section 2.1. Grant of Issuance Right.

(a) The Trust hereby grants to Vistra Operations the right to require the Trust to purchase, on one or more occasions, up to the Maximum P-Caps Outstanding Amount of Senior Secured Notes on the terms specified in this Agreement (the “Issuance Right”). The exercise of the Issuance Right shall be in the sole discretion of Vistra Operations; provided that at any time that Vistra Operations has a Return Obligation with respect to Designated Securities, Vistra Operations is not permitted to make a Voluntary Exercise of the Issuance Right with respect to such Designated Securities; and provided further that at any time the Trust holds Eligible Assets or Vistra Operations has a Return Obligation with respect to Designated Securities or Counterparty Securities, (i) Vistra Operations shall exercise the Issuance Right for the entire Available Amount upon the occurrence of a Mandatory Exercise Event not involving a Change of Control Offer Expiration Date and shall exercise the Issuance Right for an Available Amount equal to the Change of Control Offer Issuance Amount under the occurrence of a Mandatory Exercise Event involving a Change of Control Offer Expiration Date (any such exercise, a “Mandatory Exercise”), (ii) the exercise of the Issuance Right for the entire Available Amount shall occur automatically (such exercise, an “Automatic Exercise”) upon the occurrence of an Automatic Exercise Event, and (iii) Vistra Operations shall make a Designation Issuance Exercise upon the occurrence of a Designation Issuance Event. The Senior Secured Notes Trustee shall not have any duty to calculate, monitor or track the Maximum P-Caps Outstanding Amount.

(b) Vistra Operations may, in connection with any Voluntary Exercise or any Mandatory Exercise pursuant to a Change of Control Trigger Event (solely to the extent of the Change of Control Offer Subject Amount), make an election (a “Cash Settlement Election”) to deliver on the Settlement Date, in lieu of Senior Secured Notes, by wire transfer in immediately available funds, an amount equal to the Redemption Price (or the Change of Control Offer Subject Amount), including accrued and unpaid interest through the date of payment, as determined pursuant to the Senior Secured Notes and the Senior Secured Notes Indenture (the “Cash Settlement Amount”), that would be payable if Vistra Operations had sold such Senior Secured Notes to the Trust and redeemed them on such Settlement Date, provided that a Cash Settlement Election with respect to less than all of the Senior Secured Notes may be made only with respect to an integral multiple of the Unit Amount in principal amount of Senior Secured Notes. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in the event that Vistra Operations elects to pay the Cash Settlement Amount pursuant to a Mandatory Exercise in connection with a Change of Control Trigger Event in lieu of issuing the Change of Control Offer Issuance Amount of Senior Secured Notes, the Trust shall not be required to redeem any P-Caps as a result of such payment of the Cash Settlement Amount, and such Cash Settlement Amount shall be paid by the Trust to repurchase P-Caps as all or part of the Change of Control Payment with respect to the P-Caps Tendered Amount.

(c) The Trust shall purchase Senior Secured Notes from Vistra Operations (or, if Vistra Operations has made a Cash Settlement Election with respect to such Senior Secured Notes, receive the applicable Cash Settlement Amount) in exchange for the Notes Purchase Price to be delivered to Vistra Operations upon each exercise of the Issuance Right, in whole or in part, as provided in Article III, in accordance with any Issuance Notice or upon an Automatic Exercise and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein.

-13-

(d) The parties acknowledge and agree that:

(i) on the date hereof, Vistra Operations is issuing to the Trust a Senior Secured Note with an initial principal amount of $0 (the “Initial Note Certificate”);

(ii) any delivery of Senior Secured Notes by Vistra Operations to the Trust as contemplated by this Agreement upon any Voluntary Exercise, Automatic Exercise, Mandatory Exercise, Designation Issuance Exercise shall be effected by increasing the principal amount of the Initial Note Certificate and recording such increase in the Security Register, upon receipt of notification as contemplated herein of such Voluntary Exercise, Automatic Exercise, Mandatory Exercise, Designation Issuance Exercise; and

(iii) any redemption of Senior Secured Notes held by the Trust and any delivery of Senior Secured Notes by the Trust to Vistra Operations upon Vistra Operations’ exercise of the Repurchase Right shall be effected by decreasing the principal amount of the Initial Note Certificate and recording such decrease in the Security Register, upon receipt of notification thereof as contemplated herein.

Section 2.2. Repurchase Right.

(a) Subject to Section 2.2(b), Vistra Operations shall have the right to repurchase, on one or more occasions, Senior Secured Notes then outstanding and held by the Trust, in whole or in part (provided that any repurchase of less than all Senior Secured Notes then outstanding and held by the Trust shall be made as to an integral multiple of the Unit Amount in principal amount of Senior Secured Notes), at any time in exchange for delivery to the Trust of Eligible Assets that entitle the Trust to receive, on each subsequent Treasury Payment Date through and including the Treasury Payment Date immediately preceding the P-Caps Final Redemption Date, payments of principal and interest that are in the same amounts as the Trust would have received on each such Treasury Payment Date on the Eligible Assets that it delivered to Vistra Operations, the rights to which the Trust relinquished, upon the exercise of the Issuance Right in respect of the Senior Secured Notes to be so repurchased (the “Repurchase Price”). The repurchase right described in this Section 2.2(a) is referred to herein as a “Repurchase Right” and any such repurchase is referred to herein as a “Repurchase”.

(b) The Repurchase Right shall terminate upon the earliest to occur of (i) an Automatic Exercise Event, (ii) a Mandatory Exercise Event or (iii) Vistra Operations’ delivery of a notice substantially in a form of Annex B to the Trust and the Senior Secured Notes Trustee, in which Vistra Operations irrevocably waives its right to exercise the Repurchase Right. Vistra Operations may not effect a Repurchase of any Senior Secured Notes for which Vistra Operations has delivered a notice of redemption pursuant to the Senior Secured Notes Indenture.

(c) Vistra Operations may exercise the Repurchase Right by delivering to the Trust and the Senior Secured Notes Trustee a notice substantially in the form of Annex C, which notice shall specify the settlement date (the “Repurchase Settlement Date”), which shall be a Business Day that is prior to the Trust Dissolution Date and at least three (3) Business Days after Vistra Operations delivers such notice. On the Repurchase Settlement Date, Vistra Operations shall deliver the Repurchase Price to the Trust against delivery of the Senior Secured Notes by the Trust to Vistra Operations or its designee. Each of Vistra Operations and the Trust hereby

-14-

covenants and agrees that its delivery of the Repurchase Price or the Senior Secured Notes, respectively, pursuant to this Section 2.2 shall be made free and clear of any adverse claims (other than claims that arise as a result of the actions of, or claims against, another party hereto), together with all transfer and registration documents (or all notices, instructions or other communications) as are necessary to convey title to the Repurchase Price or the Senior Secured Notes to the Trust or Vistra Operations (or its designee), as the case may be and cause them to be a protected purchaser (within the meaning of the New York Uniform Commercial Code) of the Repurchase Price or the Senior Secured Notes, as the case may be. For the avoidance of doubt, Senior Secured Notes repurchased pursuant to this Section 2.2 or for which Vistra Operations has paid the Cash Settlement Amount in lieu of issuance pursuant to the foregoing can be re-issued.

(d) Change of Control Offer.

(i) Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Trigger Event, Vistra Operations shall deliver a notice to the Trustee that such Change of Control Trigger Event has occurred. Within 30 days following its receipt of such notice of Change of Control Trigger Event, the Trustee will mail (or deliver electronically) the notice (the “Change of Control Offer”) prepared by Vistra Operations to each holder of the P-Caps describing the transaction or transactions that constitute the Change of Control and offering to repurchase P-Caps on the date specified in the notice (the “Change of Control Payment Date”), which date will be no earlier than 10 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed or delivered, pursuant to the procedures required by the Trust Declaration and described in such notice. Holders of the P-Caps electing to have any P-Caps purchased pursuant to a Change of Control Offer (as evidenced by their surrender) shall be required to surrender the P-Caps to the paying agent for the P-Caps on the third Business Day preceding the Change of Control Payment Date (the “Change of Control Offer Expiration Date”). Vistra Operations and the Trust will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the P-Caps as a result of a Change of Control Trigger Event. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the Change of Control provisions of this Agreement, the Trust Declaration or the Senior Secured Notes Indenture, Vistra Operations and the Trust will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached their obligations under the Change of Control provisions of this Agreement, the Trust Declaration or the Senior Secured Notes Indenture by virtue of such compliance as evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate delivered by Vistra Operations to the Trustee.

(ii) In the Change of Control Offer, the Trust, at the direction of Vistra Operations, and subject to the receipt from Vistra Operations of the change of control payment with respect to the relevant Senior Secured Notes (which such payment may be made directly to the Trust to the extent no Senior Secured Note is held through the facilities of a depository, and all such Senior Secured Notes are held in the name of the Trust) plus, to the extent Vistra Operations elects to pay the Cash Settlement Amount with respect to the Change of Control Offer Subject

-15-

Amount, such Cash Settlement Amount, will offer a payment in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate initial purchase price of the P-Caps, plus accrued and unpaid distributions, if any, on the P-Caps to the date of repurchase, subject to the rights of holders of the P-Caps on the relevant record date to receive distributions on the relevant Distribution Date (the “Change of Control Payment”).

(iii) If the Senior Secured Notes with respect to which Vistra Operations has made a change of control offer under the Senior Secured Notes Indenture are then held by the Trust (including any Senior Secured Notes to be issued to the Trust pursuant to a Mandatory Exercise), Vistra Operations shall notify the Trust and the Senior Secured Notes Trustee of the change of control triggering event under the Senior Secured Notes Indenture and the Trust will accept such change of control offer under the Senior Secured Notes Indenture with respect to such Senior Secured Notes to the extent holders of the P-Caps have accepted the Change of Control Offer with respect to the P-Caps. Holders of the P-Caps electing to have any P-Caps purchased pursuant to a Change of Control Offer shall be required to surrender the P-Caps to the paying agent for the P-Caps on the Change of Control Offer Expiration Date. Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Offer Expiration Date with respect to the P-Caps (which shall constitute a Mandatory Exercise Event in respect of the Issuance Right), Vistra Operations shall sell to the Trust Senior Secured Notes in a principal amount equal to the excess of the initial purchase price of the P-Caps that have accepted the Change of Control Offer (the “P-Caps Tendered Amount”) over the principal amount of Senior Secured Notes held by the Trust, with such excess rounded up to the nearest $50 million principal amount (such principal amount following rounding, the “Change of Control Offer Issuance Amount” and such principal amount prior to rounding the “Change of Control Offer Subject Amount”)); provided that Vistra Operations may elect to pay the Cash Settlement Amount with respect to the Change of Control Offer Issuance Amount in lieu of issuing such Senior Secured Notes. On the Change of Control Payment Date, Vistra Operations shall pay an amount equal to the Change of Control Payment to the holders of the Senior Secured Notes to repurchase a principal amount of Senior Secured Notes equal to the P-Caps Tendered Amount (minus the Change of Control Offer Subject Amount if Vistra Operations has paid the Cash Settlement Amount with respect thereto in lieu of issuance) at a price equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the date of repurchase, in each case to the extent necessary to pay the Change of Control Payment with respect to the P-Caps Tendered Amount. For the avoidance of doubt, Senior Secured Notes repurchased pursuant to this Section 2.2(d) or for which Vistra Operations has paid the Cash Settlement Amount in lieu of issuance pursuant to the foregoing cannot be re-issued.

(iv) On the Change of Control Payment Date, to the extent lawful:

-16-

(A) the Trust shall accept for payment all P-Caps properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer;

(B) Vistra Operations shall pay to the paying agent for payment to the holders of the Senior Secured Notes an amount equal to the Change of Control Payment in respect of all P-Caps properly tendered; and

(C) Vistra Operations shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate stating the aggregate initial purchase price of P-Caps being re-purchased by the Trust.

(v) The paying agent for the P-Caps (to the extent it has received such amounts) shall promptly distribute to each holder of P-Caps properly tendered the Change of Control Payment for the P-Caps. Vistra Operations shall publicly announce the results of the Change of Control Offer on or as soon as practicable after the Change of Control Payment Date.

(vi) The provisions set forth in this Section 2.2(d) shall apply whether or not any other provisions of the Trust Declaration are applicable.

(vii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.2(d), the Trust shall not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon a Change of Control Trigger Event if (A) a third party makes the Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in the Trust Declaration applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by the Trust and purchases all P-Caps properly tendered and not withdrawn under the Change of Control Offer, or (B) notice of redemption with respect to all outstanding P-Caps has been given pursuant to the Trust Declaration, unless and until there is a default in payment of the applicable redemption price. A Change of Control Offer may be made in advance of a Change of Control Trigger Event, with the obligation to pay and the timing of payment conditioned upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Trigger Event, if a definitive agreement to effect a Change of Control is in place at the time the Change of Control Offer is made.

Section 2.3. Termination of Facility Agreement. The Issuance Right, the Repurchase Right and this Agreement shall terminate on the Trust Dissolution Date, except with respect to obligations (including any Return Obligations) that have accrued hereunder prior to such date.

Section 2.4. Consolidated Net Worth.

(a) Consolidated Net Worth. No later than five (5) Business Days after each date on which Vistra Corp.’s annual or quarterly financial statements are required to be filed on Form 10-K or Form 10-Q with the SEC, including any applicable extensions thereof, or if Vistra Corp. is not required to file such financial statements with the SEC, within 90 days after the end of each fiscal year and within 50 days after the end of each of the first three fiscal quarters of each fiscal year, Vistra Operations shall notify the Trustee of the Consolidated Net Worth as of the last day of the immediately preceding fiscal year or quarter, as the case may be. Such notice shall briefly describe any Reorganization or Accounting Change resulting in a change in the Minimum Threshold since the later of (i) the date of this Agreement or (ii) the most recent such notice and specify (A) the adjustment to the Minimum Threshold caused by such Reorganization or Accounting Change, including the calculation of such adjustment, and (B) the effective date of such adjustment. For the avoidance of doubt, the Trustee shall have no duty, obligation or responsibility to take any action in connection with such notice, other than forwarding to Holders of the P-Caps upon request.

-17-

(b) Reorganizations. In the event of a Reorganization of Vistra Corp. that would result in a change in its Consolidated Net Worth, after giving effect to such Reorganization, of 15% or more of its Consolidated Net Worth immediately prior to such Reorganization, the Minimum Threshold shall be adjusted by multiplying the Minimum Threshold applicable immediately prior to such Reorganization by a fraction, the numerator of which is the Consolidated Net Worth after giving effect to such Reorganization, and the denominator of which is the Consolidated Net Worth immediately prior to the Reorganization.

(c) Change of Accounting Policies. If at any time an Accounting Change would affect the computation of Consolidated Net Worth resulting in a change in the Consolidated Net Worth, after giving effect to such Accounting Change, of 15% or more of the Consolidated Net Worth immediately prior to such Accounting Change, the Minimum Threshold shall be adjusted by multiplying the Minimum Threshold applicable immediately prior to the Accounting Change by a fraction, the numerator of which is the Consolidated Net Worth after giving effect to the Accounting Change, and the denominator of which is the Consolidated Net Worth immediately prior to the Accounting Change.

(d) Calculation of the Consolidated Net Worth. For purposes of this Section 2.4, the Consolidated Net Worth immediately prior to a Reorganization or an Accounting Change shall be calculated based on the most recent annual or quarterly consolidated financial statements of Vistra Corp. prior to such Reorganization or Accounting Change, as the case may be, that are available at the time of determination of such Consolidated Net Worth.

Section 2.5. Exercisability of the Issuance Right. The Issuance Right shall be exercisable in accordance with Section 2.1 notwithstanding any failure to pay any amount due under this Agreement, and no such failure shall constitute a breach of or a default under this Agreement unless, by the end of the 30th day following the applicable Distribution Date on which amounts are due from Vistra Operations to the Trust, such failure has not been remedied (whether (i) by Vistra Operations paying the unpaid amount to the Trust or (ii) by Vistra Operations delivering an Issuance Notice with respect to the entire Available Amount, for settlement prior to such 30th day, and such amounts being set-off against the Notes Purchase Price in respect thereof).

Section 2.6. Mandatory Exercise Events. Vistra Operations shall give prompt written notice to the Trust of the occurrence of any Mandatory Exercise Event.

Section 3.1. Exercise of the Issuance Right by Vistra Operations.

(a) The Issuance Right shall be exercisable upon delivery by Vistra Operations of an Issuance Notice to the Trust and the Senior Secured Notes Trustee substantially in the form attached as Annex A-1. The Issuance Notice shall specify (i) whether such exercise is a Mandatory Exercise, (ii) the Settlement Date, which shall be a Business Day that is on or prior to the Trust Dissolution Date and at least two (2) Business Days after the date such notice is received by the Trust and the Senior Secured Notes Trustee, and if Vistra Operations is making a Cash Settlement Election, at least 10 days but not more than 60 days following the date such notice is received by the Trust and the Senior Secured Notes Trustee; provided that in the case of a Mandatory Exercise, a Designation Issuance Exercise, the Settlement Date shall be the second Business Day after the date of receipt, (iii) whether the Settlement Date is the Trust Dissolution Date, (iv) the principal amount of Senior Secured Notes with respect to which Vistra Operations is exercising the Issuance Right (the “Specified Amount”), which shall be an integral multiple of the Unit Amount, or, in the case of a Mandatory Exercise (other than a Mandatory Exercise pursuant to clause (4) of the definition of Mandatory Exercise Event), the entire Available Amount, (v) in the case of a Voluntary Exercise by Vistra Operations, the applicable Eligible Assets, Substitute Deposits related to Designated Securities or Counterparty Securities (in each case, if any), constituting the applicable Notes Purchase Price and (vi) in the case of a Voluntary Exercise by Vistra Operations, the principal amount of Senior Secured Notes, if any, as to which Vistra Operations has made a Cash Settlement Election. On the Settlement Date, (x) the Senior Secured Notes Trustee shall deliver the Specified Amount of the Senior Secured Notes or (y) with respect to any Senior Secured Notes as to which Vistra Operations has made a Cash Settlement Election, Vistra Operations shall deliver the Cash Settlement Amount to the Trust against delivery of the Notes Purchase Price by the Trust to Vistra Operations. Vistra Operations may not voluntarily exercise the Issuance Right with respect to any Designated Securities.

(b) The portion, if any, of the Notes Purchase Price that consists of Designated Securities or Counterparty Securities, as applicable, shall be deemed delivered to Vistra Operations on the Settlement Date, on which date the Trust shall relinquish any further rights to such Designated Securities or Counterparty Securities, as applicable, and any the right to all future Substitute Payments in respect thereof.

Section 3.2. Automatic Exercise of the Issuance Right

(a) The Trust shall deliver a notice substantially in the form of Annex D (such notice, an “Automatic Exercise Notice”) to the Senior Secured Notes Trustee and Vistra Operations within two (2) Business Days after obtaining actual knowledge of any Automatic Exercise Event that is not a Bankruptcy Event, and the Settlement Date of such Automatic Exercise shall be the second Business Day after the date such notice is received by the Senior Secured Notes Trustee, provided that if the Senior Secured Notes Trustee receives notice that a Bankruptcy Event with respect to Vistra Operations has occurred before such Settlement Date, the Settlement Date shall be determined pursuant to Section 3.2(b).

(b) Vistra Operations shall deliver an Automatic Exercise Notice to the Trust and the Senior Secured Notes Trustee promptly upon becoming aware of any Bankruptcy Event with respect to Vistra Operations and provide the Senior Secured Notes Trustee and the Trust with either an order of the court, supervisor or other regulator administering its bankruptcy, receivership, liquidation or similar proceeding authorizing the increase in the outstanding amount

-19-

of the Senior Secured Notes to the Trust or an opinion of counsel that the Senior Secured Notes may be issued and sold to the Trust without obtaining any such order. The Settlement Date of such Automatic Exercise shall be the second Business Day after such order or opinion of counsel is received by the Trust and the Senior Secured Notes Trustee or, if later, the date required by such order.

(c) On the Settlement Date of an Automatic Exercise, the Senior Secured Notes Trustee shall deliver the entire Available Amount of the Senior Secured Notes (as set forth in the Automatic Exercise Notice) to or upon the order of the Trust against delivery of the Notes Purchase Price by the Trust to Vistra Operations.

Section 3.3. Settlement and Delivery.

(a) Delivery of the Senior Secured Notes (or the Cash Settlement Amount, in respect of any Senior Secured Notes as to which Vistra Operations has made a Cash Settlement Election) and the Notes Purchase Price, in respect of any exercise of the Issuance Right shall take place prior to 3:00 p.m. on the applicable Settlement Date. Unless otherwise changed by a prior written notice to the Trust by Vistra Operations, in the case of an exercise of the Issuance Right by Vistra Operations on the applicable Settlement Date, subject to the receipt of the Senior Secured Notes (or such Cash Settlement Amount), the Notes Purchase Price shall be delivered to or upon the order of Vistra Operations according to the delivery instructions provided by Vistra Operations. For the avoidance of doubt, any delay in delivery of any Senior Secured Notes or Cash Settlement Amount or the Notes Purchase Price shall not extinguish the rights of Vistra Operations or the Trust to receive the Notes Purchase Price or any Cash Settlement Amount or Senior Secured Notes, as the case may be, following the exercise of the Issuance Right.

(a) Payment of the Notes Purchase Price shall be subject to set-off against any amounts due and unpaid by Vistra Operations to the Trust on the applicable Settlement Date pursuant to this Agreement, the Trust Declaration or the Trust Expense Reimbursement Agreement and such set-off shall be deemed to satisfy the Trust’s obligation to pay the Notes Purchase Price with respect to such set-off amounts (with the Eligible Treasury Assets included in the Notes Purchase Price being valued for the purpose of such set-off based on the proceeds received therefor by the Trust). Except as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, payment of the Notes Purchase Price by the Trust shall be made as provided in this Article III without setoff, claim, recoupment, deduction or counterclaim.

(b) Each of Vistra Operations and the Trust hereby covenants and agrees that its delivery of the Senior Secured Notes or the Notes Purchase Price, respectively, pursuant to this Article III shall be made free and clear of any adverse claims (other than claims that arise as a result of the actions of, or claims against, another party hereto), together with all transfer and registration documents (or all notices, instructions or other communications) as are necessary to convey title to the Senior Secured Notes or the Notes Purchase Price to the Trust or Vistra Operations (or its nominee), as the case may be, and cause them to be a protected purchaser (within the meaning of the New York Uniform Commercial Code) of the Senior Secured Notes or the Notes Purchase Price, as the case may be. Regardless of when they are issued and sold to the Trust, and whether they are issued and sold to the Trust pursuant to one exercise or several exercises, all Senior Secured Notes issued shall consist of a single series of securities under the Senior Secured Notes Indenture.

In the Designation Feature Exercise Notice, Vistra Operations shall direct the Trust as to the Designated Account and in the Posting Right Exercise Notice, Vistra Operations shall direct the Trust as to the Counterparty Account. Neither a Designation Feature Exercise Notice nor a Posting Right Exercise Notice with respect to any Eligible Assets may not be delivered to the Trustee after any Issuance Notice has been delivered pursuant to Section 3.1(a) for which such Eligible Assets would be included in the Notes Purchase Price.

(b) Vistra Operations shall notify or shall cause the applicable Collateral Posting Counterparty to notify the Trustee and the Vistra Collateral Agent if Vistra Operations, a Designated Person, the Securities Intermediary or a Collateral Posting Counterparty, as applicable, will return any Designated Security or Counterparty Security not later than 12:00 noon on the Business Day prior to the applicable Return Deadline by delivering a notice substantially in the form of Annex G (each, a “Designated Securities/Counterparty Securities Return Notice”); provided, that the failure to deliver a Designated Securities/Counterparty Securities Return Notice in respect of a Designated Security or a Counterparty Security, as applicable, shall not affect the Return Obligation.

(c) Following the payment of the Substitute Payment with respect to any Designated Securities or Counterparty Securities, the Trustee or the Vistra Collateral Agent shall hold such Substitute Payment as a Substitute Deposit in accordance with the Trust Declaration and the Pledge Agreement, respectively. The right of a Designated Person, a Collateral Posting Counterparty, Vistra Operations or any other Person to make a Substitute Payment in respect of such Designated Security to the Trust in lieu of returning any Designated Security or Counterparty Securities, as applicable, to extinguish the Return Obligation shall be subject to Vistra Operations undertaking to pay the Vistra Collateral Agent and the Trustee any charges, fees or other expenses in connection therewith.

SUBSIDIARY GUARANTEES

(a) Subject to this Article VIII, each of the Subsidiary Guarantors hereby, jointly and severally, irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees to the Trust and its successors and assigns, irrespective of the validity and enforceability of this Agreement or the obligations of Vistra Operations hereunder, that all obligations of Vistra Operations to the Trust, the Senior Secured Notes Trustee, the Delaware Trustee or the Trustee hereunder, the Trust Agreement and under the Trust Expense Reimbursement Agreement, the Senior Secured Notes Indenture and the Note Security Documents (the “Guaranteed Obligations”) shall be promptly paid in full or performed, all in accordance with the terms hereof, including:

(i) payment of the Facility Fee when due;

(ii) payment of the Special Facility Fee when due;

(iii) compliance with any Return Obligation;

(iv) compliance with any obligation to make Substitute Payments; and

(v) compliance with any obligation to purchase any Defaulted STRIPS and make any Defaulted Payments.

(b) Failing payment when due of any amount so guaranteed or any performance so guaranteed for whatever reason, the Subsidiary Guarantors will be jointly and severally obligated to pay the same immediately. Each Subsidiary Guarantor agrees that this is a guarantee of payment and not a guarantee of collection. The obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor in respect of its Subsidiary Guarantee are secured by the Collateral on a senior secured basis as provided in the Note Security Documents.

(c) The Subsidiary Guarantors hereby agree that their obligations hereunder are unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of this Agreement, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by the Trust with respect to any provisions hereof or thereof, the recovery of any judgment against Vistra Operations, any action to enforce the same or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a Subsidiary Guarantor. Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of Vistra Operations, any right to require a proceeding first against Vistra Operations, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever and covenant that this Subsidiary Guarantee will not be discharged except by complete performance of the obligations contained in this Agreement.

-29-

(d) If the Trust, the Senior Secured Notes Trustee, the Delaware Trustee or the Trustee on behalf of the Trust is required by any court or otherwise to return to Vistra Operations, the Subsidiary Guarantors or any custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to either Vistra Operations or the Subsidiary Guarantors, any amount paid by any of the foregoing to the Trustee, the Delaware Trustee, the Senior Secured Notes Trustee or the Trust in respect of the Obligations, the Subsidiary Guarantees or each Subsidiary Guarantor, to the extent theretofore discharged, shall be reinstated in full force and effect to the fullest extent permitted by law.

(e) Each Subsidiary Guarantor agrees that it will not be entitled to any right of subrogation in relation to the Trust, the Senior Secured Notes Trustee, the Delaware Trustee or the Trustee in respect of any Obligations guaranteed hereby until payment in full of all Obligations guaranteed hereby. The Subsidiary Guarantors will have the right to seek contribution from any non-paying Subsidiary Guarantor so long as the exercise of such right does not impair the rights of the Trust, the Delaware Trustee, the Senior Secured Notes Trustee or the Trustee under this Subsidiary Guarantee.

Section 8.2. Limitation on Subsidiary Guarantor Liability. Each Subsidiary Guarantor, and by its entry into this Agreement, the Trust, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the Subsidiary Guarantee of such Subsidiary Guarantor not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar federal or state law to the extent applicable to any Subsidiary Guarantee. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Trust and the Subsidiary Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor will be limited to the maximum amount that will, after giving effect to such maximum amount and all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Subsidiary Guarantor that are relevant under such laws, and after giving effect to any collections from, rights to receive contribution from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Subsidiary Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Subsidiary Guarantor under this Article VIII, result in the obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor under its Subsidiary Guarantee not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance.

Section 8.3. Subsidiary Guarantors May Consolidate, etc., on Certain Terms.

(a) Except as otherwise provided in Section 8.3 hereof, no Subsidiary Guarantor may sell or otherwise dispose, in one or a series of related transactions, of all or substantially all of its assets to, or consolidate with or merge with or into (whether or not such Subsidiary Guarantor is the surviving Person) another Person, other than Vistra Operations or another Subsidiary Guarantor, unless immediately after giving effect to that transaction, no Default or Event of Default exists.

In case of any such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance and upon the assumption by the successor Person, satisfactory in form to the Trust, of the Guarantee of such Subsidiary Guarantor and the due and punctual performance of all of the covenants and conditions of this Guarantee to be performed by such Subsidiary Guarantor, such successor Person shall succeed to and be substituted for such Subsidiary Guarantor with the same effect as if it had been named herein as a Subsidiary Guarantor. Such Subsidiary Guarantees so issued will in all respects have the same legal rank and benefit under this Agreement as the Subsidiary Guarantees contained herein as though all of such Subsidiary Guarantees had been issued on the date of this Agreement.

-30-

Except as set forth in the Senior Secured Notes Indenture, nothing contained in the Senior Secured Notes Indenture or in this Agreement will prevent any consolidation or merger of a Subsidiary Guarantor with or into Vistra Operations or another Subsidiary Guarantor, or will prevent any sale or conveyance of the property of a Subsidiary Guarantor as an entirety or substantially as an entirety to Vistra Operations or another Subsidiary Guarantor.

(c) Any Subsidiary Guarantor not released from its obligations under its Subsidiary Guarantee as provided in this Section 8.4 will remain liable for the full amount of obligations owed by Vistra Operations under this Agreement and for the other obligations of any Subsidiary Guarantor under this Agreement as provided in this Article VIII.

Section 10.2. Binding Effect. All agreements contained in this Agreement shall bind the successors, assigns, receivers, trustees and representatives of the Trust, Vistra Operations, the Senior Secured Notes Trustee and the Holders of the Trust Securities.

Section 10.3. Amendments. This Agreement may be amended by Vistra Operations and the Trust with the consent of at least a Majority of Holders, except that the unanimous consent of the Holders of the Trust Securities is required for any change in the payment terms in the definition of “Special Facility Fee”, Section 2.2, Article III or Article V that would affect the timing or amount of any distribution by the Trust pursuant to the Trust Declaration. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such consent of Holders shall be required for any amendment to this Agreement (a) to cure any ambiguity or correct any mistake or conform the terms of this Agreement to the description thereof in the Offering Memorandum, (b) to correct or supplement any provision of this Agreement that may be defective or inconsistent with any other provision of this Agreement or the Trust Declaration, (c) as determined in good faith by an Authorized Officer of Vistra Operations in an Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Senior Secured Notes Trustee, to make any change that does not adversely affect the rights of any Holder in any material respect or (d) to make any other change that may in the reasonable judgment of Vistra Operations be necessary or appropriate to prevent the occurrence of any Investment Company Act Event or P-Caps Tax Event, provided that Vistra Operations has determined (as evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate) that such

-36-

change would not change the timing or amount of any distribution to the Holders of the P-Caps or the U.S. federal income tax treatment of the Holders as the owners of indebtedness of Vistra Intermediate Company LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, either held directly or held through the Trust, and would not otherwise reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on Holders. The consent of the Senior Secured Notes Trustee is required for any amendment that affects the rights, duties or immunities of the Senior Secured Notes Trustee under this Agreement or otherwise. In connection with executing any amendment hereto, the Senior Secured Notes Trustee shall receive the same legal opinion relating to an amendment hereto that it would receive if an amendment were being made to the Senior Secured Notes Indenture.

Section 10.4. Assignment. Neither the Trust nor Vistra Operations may assign its rights or obligations under this Agreement to any other Person, except that if Vistra Operations assigns or delegates its rights and obligations under the Senior Secured Notes Indenture to any Person, Vistra Operations hereby assigns or delegates its rights and obligations under this Agreement to such Person. Such Person hereby assumes all of such rights and obligations under this Agreement either by operation of law or by express agreement. Any purported assignment in violation of this Section 10.4 shall be void. For the avoidance of doubt, this Agreement does not prohibit Vistra Operations from entering into a merger, consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of its assets.

Section 10.7. Jurisdiction. Each of the parties hereto agrees that any legal suit, action or proceeding arising out of or in connection with or based upon this Agreement (“Proceedings”) may be instituted in any state or Federal court in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, New York, United States of America; waives, to the extent it may effectively do so, any objection that it may have now or hereafter to the laying of the venue of any such suit, action or proceeding; and irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of any such court in any such suit, action or proceeding. The Trust has designated and appointed Capitol Services, Inc. (or any successor corporation) as its authorized agent to accept and acknowledge on its behalf service of any and all process which may be served in any such suit, action or proceeding in any such court and agrees that service of process upon said agent at its office at 1218 Central Avenue, Suite 100, Albany, New York 12205 (or at such other address in the State of New York, United States of America, as the Trust may designate by written notice to Vistra Operations and the Senior Secured Notes Trustee), shall be taken and held to be valid personal service upon the Trust, whether or not the Trust shall then be doing, or at any time shall have done, business within the State of New York, and any such service of process shall be of the same force and validity as if service were made upon it according to the laws governing the validity and requirements of such service in such State, and waives all claim of error by reason of any such service. The Trust agrees to take all action as may be necessary to continue the designation and appointment of Capitol Services, Inc. or any successor corporation in full force and effect so that the Trust shall at all times have an agent for service of process for the above purposes in the State of New York, United States of America; provided however, the Trust may remove Capitol Services, Inc. for any reason upon written notice to BNYMTC; provided further, if for any reason Capitol Services, Inc. shall cease to act as in such capacity, the Trust shall promptly appoint another such agent, and shall forthwith notify the Vistra Collateral Agent of such appointment. Each of the parties hereby irrevocably waives, to the extent permitted by law, any immunity to jurisdiction to which it may otherwise be entitled (including immunity to pre-judgment attachment, post-judgment attachment and execution) in any Proceeding. The provisions of this Section 10.7 are intended to be effective upon the execution of this Agreement without any further action by any of the parties and the introduction of a true copy of this Agreement into evidence shall be conclusive and final evidence as to such matters.

Section 10.8. WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY. EACH OF VISTRA OPERATIONS, THE TRUST AND THE SENIOR SECURED NOTES TRUSTEE HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE SENIOR SECURED NOTES OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT.

Section 10.9. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which shall together constitute one and the same instrument. The words “execution”, “signed”, “signature”, and words of like import in this Agreement shall include electronic signatures (including without limitation, Diligent, DocuSign and AdobeSign or any other similar platform identified by Vistra Operations and reasonably available at no undue burden or expense to the Senior Secured Notes Trustee, with respect to the signatures of the Senior Secured Notes Trustee). The exchange of copies of this Agreement and of signature pages by facsimile or email transmission of PDF files shall constitute effective execution and delivery of this Agreement as to the parties hereto and may be used in lieu of the original Agreement for all purposes. Signatures of the parties hereto transmitted by facsimile or email transmission of PDF files shall be deemed to be their original signatures for all purposes.

-39-

Section 10.10. Severability. If any one or more of the provisions contained herein, or the application thereof in any circumstances, is invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect for any reason, the validity, legality and enforceability of any such provision in every other respect and of the remaining provisions hereof shall not be in any way impaired or affected, it being intended that all of the Trust’s, Vistra Operations’ and the Senior Secured Notes Trustee’s rights, immunities and privileges shall be enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law, provided that, if the omission of such provision would alter the fundamental expectations of the parties hereto (including, in particular, Vistra Operations’ expectation of its ability to rely on the obligations of the Trust under this Agreement as a source of liquid assets to Vistra Operations in any and all circumstances), such provision shall not be severable.

Section 10.11. Limitation of Liability. It is expressly understood that (i) this Agreement is executed and delivered by BNYMTC, as Trustee, not individually or personally but solely as Trustee, in the exercise of the powers and authority conferred and vested in it under the Trust Declaration, (ii) each of the representations, undertakings and agreements herein made on the part of the Trust is made and intended not as a personal representation, undertaking or agreement by BNYMTC, but is made and intended for the purpose for binding only the Trust, (iii) nothing herein contained shall be construed as creating any liability on BNYMTC, as Trustee, or BNY Mellon Trust of Delaware, as Delaware Trustee, of the Trust, individually or personally, to perform any covenant either expressed or implied contained herein of the Trust, all such liability, if any, being expressly waived by the parties hereto and by any Person claiming by, through or under the parties hereto, (iv) BNYMTC has made no investigation as to the accuracy or completeness of any representations and warranties made by the Trust in this Agreement and (v) under no circumstances shall BNYMTC be personally liable for the payment of any indebtedness or expenses of the Trust or be liable for the breach or failure of any obligation, representation, warranty or covenant made or undertaken by the Trust under this Agreement or any other related documents.

Section 10.12. The Senior Secured Notes Trustee.

(a) In entering into and performing its duties under this Agreement as Senior Secured Notes Trustee, BNYMTC is acting in its capacity as Senior Secured Notes Trustee under the Senior Secured Notes Indenture and shall be entitled to all of the exculpations, protections, immunities and standard of care available to it thereunder. For the avoidance of doubt, each of the rights, protections and immunities granted to the Senior Secured Notes Trustee under the Senior Secured Notes Indenture is incorporated herein by reference, mutatis mutandis, for the benefit of the Senior Secured Notes Trustee with respect to this Agreement, including but not limited to the rights, protections and immunities in Article 7 of the Senior Secured Notes Indenture. In addition, and without limiting the foregoing, the Senior Secured Notes Trustee (i) may conclusively rely and shall be protected in acting upon any Issuance Notice or Automatic Exercise Notice believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties and may conclusively rely on the truth and correctness of any statement contained therein, including, without limitation, as to the proper principal amount of Senior Secured Notes to be authenticated and delivered, (ii) in authenticating and delivering any Senior Secured Notes hereunder, shall not be responsible for determining whether the related Notes Purchase Price has been delivered by the Trust to Vistra Operations or whether the Notes Purchase Price, when so delivered, is in the proper amount, (iii) undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in

-40-

this Agreement, and no implied covenants, duties or obligations shall be read into this Agreement against the Senior Secured Notes Trustee, (iv) shall not be charged with notice or knowledge of an Automatic Exercise Event unless notified of such event under Section 3.2(a), and (v) shall not be deemed to owe any fiduciary duty to the holders of the Trust Securities.

(b) The Senior Secured Notes Trustee shall not be responsible for making any calculation with respect to any matter under this Agreement and shall have no duty to monitor or investigate Vistra Operations’ or the Trust’s compliance with any representation, warranty, covenant, or agreement made by either of them under this Agreement or any other agreement relating hereto.

(c) The parties expressly acknowledge and consent to BNYMTC, acting in the capacity of Trustee, of Securities Intermediary and of Senior Secured Notes Trustee. Each of the Trustee, the Securities Intermediary and the Senior Secured Notes Trustee may, in such capacity, discharge its separate functions fully, without hindrance or regard to conflict of interest principles, duty of loyalty principles or other breach of fiduciary duties to the extent any such conflict or breach arises from the performance by the Trustee of express duties set forth in the Trust Declaration and Securities Intermediary of express duties set forth in the Vistra Pledge Agreement or the Senior Secured Notes Trustee of express duties set forth in this Agreement and in the Senior Secured Notes Indenture, all of which defenses, claims or assertions are hereby expressly waived by the other parties hereto. Vistra Operations agrees and acknowledges that BNYMTC will act as Vistra Collateral Agent pursuant to the Vistra Pledge Agreement for the benefit of Vistra Operations and each of the other Vistra Secured Parties.

Section 10.13. Sanctions.

(a) Vistra Operations covenants and represents that neither it nor any of its affiliates, subsidiaries, directors or officers are the target or subject of any sanctions enforced by the U.S. Government, (including the Office of Foreign Assets Control of the U.S. Department of the Treasury), the United Nations Security Council, the European Union, His Majesty’s Treasury, or other relevant sanctions authority (collectively “Sanctions”).

(b) Vistra Operations covenants and represents that neither it nor any of its affiliates, subsidiaries, directors or officers will knowingly use any part of the proceeds received in connection with this Agreement or any other of the transaction documents (i) to fund or facilitate any activities of or business with any person which, at the time of such funding or facilitation, is prohibited by Sanctions, (ii) to fund or facilitate any activities of or business with any country or territory that is prohibited by Sanctions, except to the extent permissible for an individual or entity required to comply with Sanctions, or (iii) in any other manner that will result in a violation of Sanctions by any person.

Section 10.14. Electronic Communications.

(a) The Senior Secured Notes Trustee shall have the right to accept and act upon instructions, including funds transfer instructions (“Instructions”) given pursuant to this Agreement and delivered using Electronic Means; provided, however, that Vistra Operations shall provide to the Senior Secured Notes Trustee an incumbency certificate listing officers with the

-41-

authority to provide such Instructions (“Authorized Officers”) and containing specimen signatures of such Authorized Officers, which incumbency certificate shall be amended by Vistra Operations whenever a person is to be added or deleted from the listing. If Vistra Operations elects to give the Senior Secured Notes Trustee Instructions using Electronic Means and the Senior Secured Notes Trustee in its discretion elects to act upon such Instructions, the Senior Secured Notes Trustee’s understanding of such Instructions shall be deemed controlling. Vistra Operations understands and agrees that the Senior Secured Notes Trustee cannot determine the identity of the actual sender of such Instructions and that the Senior Secured Notes Trustee shall conclusively presume that directions that purport to have been sent by an Authorized Officer listed on the incumbency certificate provided to the Senior Secured Notes Trustee have been sent by such Authorized Officer. Vistra Operations shall be responsible for ensuring that only Authorized Officers transmit such Instructions to the Senior Secured Notes Trustee and that Vistra Operations and all Authorized Officers are solely responsible to safeguard the use and confidentiality of applicable user and authorization codes, passwords and/or authentication keys upon receipt by Vistra Operations. The Senior Secured Notes Trustee shall not be liable for any losses, costs or expenses arising directly or indirectly from the Senior Secured Notes Trustee’s reliance upon and compliance with such Instructions notwithstanding such directions conflict or are inconsistent with a subsequent written instruction. Vistra Operations agrees: (i) to assume all risks arising out of the use of Electronic Means to submit Instructions to the Senior Secured Notes Trustee, including without limitation the risk of the Senior Secured Notes Trustee acting on unauthorized Instructions, and the risk of interception and misuse by third parties; (ii) that it is fully informed of the protections and risks associated with the various methods of transmitting Instructions to the Senior Secured Notes Trustee and that there may be more secure methods of transmitting Instructions than the method(s) selected by Vistra Operations; (iii) that the security procedures (if any) to be followed in connection with its transmission of Instructions provide to it a commercially reasonable degree of protection in light of its particular needs and circumstances; and (iv) to notify the Senior Secured Notes Trustee promptly upon learning of any compromise or unauthorized use of the security procedures.
