liability company, Oncor Electric Delivery Company LLC, a Delaware limited liability company

Oncor and the Management Stockholder being hereinafter collectively referred to as the
“Parties”). All capitalized terms not immediately defined are hereinafter defined in
Section 7(b) of this Agreement.
WHEREAS, the Management Stockholder has been selected by the Company and Oncor (i) to be
permitted to transfer to the Company cash in exchange for Class B Membership Interests (the
“Management Units”) in the Company (the “Cash Purchased Units”); and/or (ii) to be
permitted to designate certain funds held pursuant to the EFH Salary Deferral Plan (the
“Program”) as deemed to be invested in Management Units (any Management Units issuable to a
Management Stockholder Entity (as defined below) pursuant to a distribution under the terms of the
Program, “Deferred Purchased Units” and together with the Cash Purchased Units,
“Purchased Units”), such Purchased Units issued pursuant to the terms set forth below and
the terms of the 2008 Equity Interests Plan for Key Employees of Oncor Delivery Company LLC and its
Affiliates; and/or (iii) has been selected by Oncor to receive the right to certain payments from
Oncor corresponding to appreciation of the Oncor Units (the “Stock Appreciation Rights”)

to be entered into by and between Oncor and the Management Stockholder on or about the date hereof
(the “Stock Appreciation Rights Agreement”);
NOW THEREFORE, to implement the foregoing and in consideration of the mutual agreements
contained herein, the Parties agree as follows:
1. Issuance of Purchased Units and Stock Appreciation Rights.
(a) Subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, the Management Stockholder
hereby subscribes for and shall purchase, as of the date hereof, and the Company shall issue and
deliver to the Management Stockholder as of the date hereof, the number of Purchased Units, in each
case as set forth on Schedule I hereto at a $10.00 per unit purchase price (the “Base
Price”), which Base Price is equal to the effective per unit fair market value of the Purchased
Units, taking into account the concurrent issuance of membership interests in Oncor to Texas
Transmission Investment LLC pursuant to the Contribution and Subscription Agreement, dated as of
August 12, 2008, between Oncor and Texas Transmission Investment LLC (the “Minority Sale”),
as determined in good faith by the Managing Member of the Company (the “Managing Member”).
(b) Subject to certain terms and conditions, including those hereinafter set forth and as set
forth in the Stock Appreciation Rights Plan, which may include the Management Stockholder’s
acquisition of the Purchased Units, Oncor will grant Stock
Appreciation Rights, based on a determination by the Chief Executive Officer of Oncor and the
Organization and Compensation Committee of the board of directors of Oncor, to the Management
Stockholder, at an initial exercise price equal to the Base Price, to participate in the economic
equivalent of the appreciation of the Oncor Units as set forth in the Stock Appreciation Rights
Plan.
(c) The Company shall have no obligation to sell any Purchased Units to any person who (i) is
a resident or citizen of a state or other jurisdiction in which the sale of the Purchased Units to
him or her would constitute a violation of the securities or “blue sky” laws of such jurisdiction
or (ii) is not an officer, director or employee of the Company or Oncor (or any Affiliate of Oncor
(the material assets of which consist only of its direct or indirect interest in Oncor, or the
assets of Oncor) used for the purposes of effecting a Public Offering of the vehicle holding the
assets of Oncor (an “IPO Vehicle”)) (the “Management Stockholder Employer”).
2. Management Stockholder’s Representations, Warranties and Agreements.
(a) The Management Stockholder agrees and acknowledges that he or she will not, directly or
indirectly, offer, transfer, sell, assign, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of (any of the
foregoing acts being referred to herein as a “Transfer”) any (x) Purchased Units, or (y)
equity interests in Oncor (or any IPO Vehicle) issued in respect of Stock Appreciation Rights or
distributed to the Management Stockholder by the Company (“Oncor Units”, together with all
equity interests in the Company, equity interests in Oncor or equity interests in any IPO Vehicle
otherwise acquired and/or held by the Management Stockholder Entities, as of or after the date

Company, Oncor or the IPO Vehicle, as applicable, with an opinion or other advice,
reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Company, Oncor or the IPO Vehicle, as
applicable, that no such registration is required because of the availability of an
exemption from registration under the Act and (B) if the Management Stockholder is a citizen
or resident of any country other than the United States, or the Management Stockholder
desires to effect any Transfer in any such country, counsel for the Management Stockholder
(which counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company, Oncor or the IPO Vehicle, as
applicable) shall have furnished the Company, Oncor or the IPO Vehicle, as applicable, with
an opinion or other advice reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Company,

other than the Management Stockholder, his spouse (or ex-spouse) or his lineal descendants

Section 7(b) hereof, such Transfer shall no longer be deemed in compliance with this Agreement and
shall be subject to Section 3(c) below and (4) a Transfer made by the Management Stockholder, with
the Managing Member’s or the board of directors of Oncor’s, or the IPO Vehicle’s, as applicable,

Common Stock owned by Parent or 50% or more of the outstanding
• | any director or executive officer of Oncor; | ||
• | any natural person whose individual net worth, or joint net worth with that person’s spouse, at the time of purchase exceeds $1 million; or | ||
• | any natural person who for the two most recent years had an individual income in excess of $200,000, or joint income with that person’s spouse in excess of $300,000 and has a reasonable expectation of reaching that same level of income in the current year. |
5
limited partnership units of Parent in any transaction (other than an offering pursuant to a
registration statement on Form S-4 or Form S-8 (or similar forms) or a sale, directly or
indirectly, to an Affiliate of Parent or any member of the Sponsor Group), in which management
members of EFH Corp. (“EFH Management”) are permitted to sell shares of EFH Common Stock
pursuant to any “tag rights” or “piggy-back rights” under a sale participation agreement,
registration rights agreement or similar agreement with EFH Corp. or Parent (“EFH Management
Sale”), then, unless Parent or a member of the Sponsor Group is entitled to and does exercise
the drag-along rights pursuant to an EFH Drag Transaction (as defined below), at the option of the
Management Stockholder, the Management Stockholder shall have the right, subject to any terms,
conditions, limitations or adjustments imposed on any EFH Management Sale and on completion of such
EFH Management Sale, to offer for redemption Management Units to the Company, Oncor Units to Oncor
or successor common equity of the IPO Vehicle (“IPO Stock”) to the IPO Vehicle, as
applicable, and the Company, Oncor or the IPO Vehicle, as applicable, shall be required to
repurchase (subject to any legal or contractual limitations on liquidity at the Company, Oncor or
the IPO Vehicle), on one occasion, a number of Management Units, Oncor Units or shares of IPO
Stock, as applicable, held by the Management Stockholder equal to (x) the total number of
Management Units, Oncor Units or IPO Stock, as applicable, held by the Management Stockholder
multiplied by (y) the EFH Sale Percentage, at a per unit price equal to the Fair Market Value as
determined as of the date that the price to be received by Parent or member of the Sponsor Group,
as applicable, is determined. The “EFH Sale Percentage” shall mean the fraction, expressed
as a percentage, determined by (i) with respect to sales of EFH Common Stock, dividing the number
of shares of EFH Common Stock to be purchased from Parent pursuant to the applicable transaction
that would cause the provisions contained in Sections 4(a) or 4(b) hereof to take effect, by the
total number of shares of EFH Common Stock owned by Parent, or (ii) with respect to sales of
limited partnership units of Parent, dividing the number of limited partnership units of Parent to
be purchased from members of the Sponsor Group pursuant to the applicable transaction that would
cause the provisions contained in Sections 4(a) or 4(b) hereof to take effect, by the total number
of limited partnership units of Parent owned by such selling members of the Sponsor Group.
(b) If Parent or a member of the Sponsor Group proposes to sell, directly or indirectly
(without duplication) (whether by means of a merger, consolidation, reorganization or
recapitalization, sale, transfer or otherwise), a number of shares of EFH Common Stock or limited
partnership units of Parent equal to 50% or more of the outstanding EFH Common Stock or limited
partnership units of Parent, as applicable (such Person, the “EFH Drag-Along Purchaser”),
then, if requested by Parent or a member of the Sponsor Group, each Management Stockholder shall be
required to offer for redemption a number of Units to the Company or Oncor or IPO Stock to the IPO
Vehicle, as applicable, equal to the aggregate number of Units held by the Management Stockholder,
multiplied by the EFH Sale Percentage (such transaction, an “EFH Drag Transaction”),
subject to any terms, conditions, limitations or adjustments imposed on any EFH Management Sales,
at a per unit price equal to the Fair Market Value as determined as of the date that the price to
be received by Parent or member of the Sponsor Group, as applicable, is determined.
(c) In the event of any EFH Management Sale or EFH Drag Transaction under this Section 4, the
Company, Oncor or the IPO Vehicle, as applicable, will provide the Management Stockholder with
notice substantially similar to any notice provided to EFH
6
Management upon receiving notice of such transactions from EFH Corp or a member of the Sponsor
Group.
(d) In the event that at any time prior to a Public Offering of Oncor Units or IPO Stock, a
Related Entity proposes to sell directly for cash or any other consideration any Oncor Units owned
by a Related Entity in any transaction (other than an offering pursuant to a registration statement
on Form S-4 or Form S-8 (or similar forms) or in connection with the initial Public Offering of
Oncor Units or IPO Stock pursuant to a registration statement under the Act which has been declared
effective by the SEC or a sale, directly or indirectly, to an Affiliate of such Related Entity),
then, unless such Related Entity is entitled to and does exercise the drag-along rights pursuant to
an Oncor Drag Transaction (as defined below), at the option of the Management Stockholder, the
Management Stockholder shall have the right, subject to any terms, conditions, limitations or
adjustments imposed on the sale by such Related Entity and on completion of such sale, to offer for
redemption Management Units to the Company, and the Company shall be required to repurchase
(subject to any legal or contractual limitations on liquidity at the Company), on one occasion, a
number of Management Units held by the Management Stockholder Entity equal to (x) the total number
of Management Units held by the Management Stockholder Entity multiplied by (y) the Oncor Sale
Percentage, at a per unit price equal to the Fair Market Value as determined as of the date that
the price to be received by such Related Entity is determined. The “Oncor Sale Percentage”
shall mean the fraction, expressed as a percentage, determined by dividing the number of Oncor
Units to be purchased from the relevant Related Entity pursuant to the applicable transaction that
would cause the provisions contained in Sections 4(d) or 4(e) hereof to take effect, by the total
number of Oncor Units owned by such Related Entity.
(e) If a Related Entity proposes to sell, directly or indirectly (whether by means of a
merger, consolidation, reorganization or recapitalization, sale, transfer or otherwise), a number
of Oncor Units equal to 50% or more of the outstanding Oncor Units (such Person, the “Oncor
Drag-Along Purchaser”), then, if requested by such Related Entity, each Management Stockholder
shall be required to offer for redemption to the Company, and the Company will be required to
repurchase (subject to any legal or contractual limitations on liquidity at the Company), a number
of Management Units equal to the aggregate number of Management Units held by the Management
Stockholder, multiplied by the Oncor Sale Percentage (such transaction, an “Oncor Drag
Transaction”), subject to any terms, conditions, limitations or adjustments imposed on the sale
by Oncor Holdings, at a per unit price equal to the Fair Market Value as determined as of the date
that the price to be received by such Related Entity is determined.
(f) In the event of any transaction that would cause the provisions contained in Sections 4(d)
and 4(e) hereof to take effect, the relevant Related Entity will provide the Management Stockholder
with notice of such proposed sale specifying the principal terms and conditions of such proposed
sale including (A) the number of Oncor Units proposed to be included in such proposed sale, (B) the
percentage of the outstanding Oncor Units at the time the notice is given that is represented by
the number of Oncor Units proposed to be included in such proposed sale, (C) the price per Oncor
Unit subject to such proposed sale, including a description of any pricing formulae and of any
non-cash consideration, (D) the Oncor Sale Percentage (as defined above) of the relevant Related
7
Entity and (E) the name and address of the Person to whom the Oncor Units is proposed to be
sold.
(g) If, within 10 Business Days after the delivery of any notice under Section 4(c) or (f),
the Company or Oncor, as applicable, receives from a Management Stockholder a written request (a
“Request”) to Transfer Units pursuant to the terms of Section 4(a) or (d), as applicable
(which Request shall be irrevocable except (a) as provided for by any terms, conditions,
limitations or adjustments imposed on any EFH Management Sales or on sale of Oncor Units by a
Related Entity or (b) if otherwise mutually agreed to in writing by the Management Stockholder
Entity and the transferee of the Units) then such Management Stockholder shall be considered to
have validly exercised his rights as provided for under Section 4(a) or (d), as applicable. If a
Request is not received by the Company or Oncor, as applicable, within the time period stated in
the preceding sentence, the Management Stockholder’s rights under Section 4(a) and (d) shall have
been waived.
(h) Leveraged Recapitalization Transactions. In the event that at any time after the date
hereof EFH Corp. consummates a leveraged recapitalization transaction pursuant to which members of
EFH Management who are holders of shares of EFH Common Stock are entitled to receive an
extraordinary special dividend from the proceeds of such transaction, then the Management
Shareholders shall receive from Oncor or the IPO Vehicle, as applicable, a liquidity opportunity,
comparable adjustment or other payment in a manner and in an amount which is similar to that
received by members of EFH Management who are holders of shares of EFH Common Stock, as the board
of Oncor determines is equitable and appropriate.
(i) Use of Note to Satisfy Payment. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the
contrary, if an Event (as defined in Section 5(c)) exists, or may exist as a result of a purchase
by the Company, Oncor or the IPO Vehicle pursuant to this Section 4, and the Company, Oncor or the
IPO Vehicle elects or is required to purchase Units pursuant to this Section 4, the Company, Oncor
or the IPO Vehicle, as applicable, may elect to pay the consideration for any such purchase
pursuant to (i) a cash payment for any amounts payable pursuant to this Section 4 or (ii) a note
having the same terms as that provided in Section 5(c) below with a principal amount equal to the
amount payable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Event exists and is continuing for ninety
(90) days from the date of delivery of the notice under Section 4(c) or (f), as applicable, the
Management Stockholder Entities shall be permitted by written notice to rescind any Request with
respect to that portion of the Units repurchased by the Company, Oncor or the IPO Vehicle, as
applicable, from the Management Stockholder Entities pursuant to this Section 4 with the note
described in the foregoing sentence, to the extent such note remains unpaid; provided that,
upon such rescission, such repurchase shall be immediately rescinded and such note shall be
immediately canceled without any action on the part of the Company, Oncor, the IPO Vehicle or the
Management Stockholder Entities and, notwithstanding anything herein or in such note to the
contrary, the Company, Oncor and the IPO Vehicle shall have no obligation to pay any amounts of
principal or interest thereunder.
(j) Timing of Payment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 4,
payment of consideration for any Transfer of Units by the Company shall in no event be due earlier
than on or about the second business day after the date of payment of the next regular quarterly
dividend paid by Oncor following the date of Transfer.
8
(k) Termination. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, this Section 4
shall terminate and be of no further force or effect upon the earlier of (i) a Change in Control,
or (ii) the later of (x) October 10, 2012 or (y) for any Subject Stock, the consummation of a
Qualified Public Offering with respect to that Subject Stock, except for any payment obligation of
the Company, Oncor or the IPO Vehicle or Transfer obligation of the Management Stockholder Entities
which has arisen prior to such termination date.
5. | The Management Stockholder’s Right to Resell Units and Stock Appreciation Rights to the Company or Oncor, as Applicable. |
(a) Except as otherwise provided herein, if the Management Stockholder’s employment with the
Management Stockholder Employer terminates as a result of the death or Disability of the Management
Stockholder, then the applicable Management Stockholder Entity shall, during the later of the
following: (x) the 365-day period following the date of such termination for death or Disability or
(y) if the Company, Oncor or the IPO Vehicle has declared that an Event (as defined below) has
occurred, the 30-day period following the date on which the Management Stockholder Entity receives
notice that the Event which was declared by the Company, Oncor or the IPO Vehicle, as applicable,
while the Management Stockholder Entity held the Units, no longer exists; provided,
however, the Management Stockholder Entity shall not be entitled to exercise the Management
Stockholder’s rights pursuant to this Section 5 unless the Management Stockholder Entity has held
the Units to be resold pursuant to this Section 5 for at least six (6) months (including as a
result of net settlement as specified in Section 5(a)(ii)) (the “Redemption Period”), have
the right to:
(i) With respect to Units, offer for redemption to the Company, Oncor or the IPO
Vehicle, as applicable, and the Company, Oncor or the IPO Vehicle, as applicable, shall be
required to repurchase, on one occasion, all of the Units then held by the applicable
Management Stockholder Entities at a per unit price equal to the Fair Market Value on the
Repurchase Calculation Date;
(ii) With respect to any outstanding vested Stock Appreciation Rights, upon the
occurrence of the applicable event identified in this Section 5 giving rise to the
Management Stockholder’s rights hereunder, Oncor or the IPO Vehicle, as applicable, shall
deem the Management Stockholder Entity to have exercised the outstanding vested Stock
Appreciation Rights, in accordance with the terms of the relevant Stock Appreciation Rights
Agreement, and be entitled to receive from Oncor or the IPO Vehicle, as applicable, on one
occasion, in exchange for all of the outstanding vested Stock Appreciation Rights then held
by the applicable Management Stockholder Entity, if any, cash equal to the product of (A)
the excess, if any, of the Fair Market Value on the Repurchase Calculation Date over the
Base Price and (B) the number of Stock Appreciation Rights then credited to such Management
Stockholders Account. In the event the foregoing amount is zero or a negative number, all
outstanding vested Stock Appreciation Rights shall be automatically terminated without any
payment in respect thereof; and
(iii) With respect to any outstanding unvested Stock Appreciation Rights, all
outstanding unvested Stock Appreciation Rights shall be terminated and cancelled without any
payment in respect thereof.
(b) Notice. In the event the applicable Management Stockholder Entities intend to exercise
their rights pursuant to Section 5(a), such Management Stockholder
9
Entities shall send written notice to the Company, Oncor or the IPO Vehicle, as applicable, at
any time during the Redemption Period, of their intention to offer for redemption Units (including
redemption of Stock Appreciation Rights for cash) in exchange for the payments referred to in
Section 5(a)(i) and (a)(ii) and shall indicate the number of Stock Appreciation Rights and Units to
be sold (the “Redemption Notice”). The completion of the purchases shall take place at the
principal office of Oncor no later than, subject to Section 5(e) below which provides for the
payment shortly following payment of quarterly dividends by Oncor, the twentieth Business Day (such
date to be determined by the Company, Oncor or the IPO Vehicle, as applicable) after the giving of
the Redemption Notice. The applicable Redemption Price shall be paid by delivery to the applicable
Management Stockholder Entities, at the option of the Company, Oncor or the IPO Vehicle, as
applicable, of a certified bank check or checks in the appropriate amount payable to the order of
each of the applicable Management Stockholder Entities (or by wire transfer of immediately
available funds, if the Management Stockholder Entities provide to Oncor wire transfer
instructions) against delivery of certificates or other instruments representing the Units so
purchased.
(c) Use of Note to Satisfy Call Payment. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 5 to the
contrary, if there exists and is continuing a default or an event of default on the part of the
Company, Oncor, the IPO Vehicle or any of their respective Subsidiaries under any loan, guarantee
or other agreement under which the Company, Oncor, the IPO Vehicle or any of their respective
Subsidiaries has borrowed money or if the repurchase or redemption referred to in Section 5(a) (or
Section 4 or Section 6 hereof, as the case may be) would result in a default or an event of default
on the part of the Company, Oncor, the IPO Vehicle or any of their respective Subsidiaries under
any such agreement or if a repurchase or redemption would reasonably be expected to be prohibited
by the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act (“DLLCA”), Public Utility Commission of Texas
or any federal or state securities laws or regulations (or if the Company, Oncor, the IPO Vehicle
or any of their respective Subsidiaries reorganizes in another state, the business corporation law,
limited liability company law or other law of such state) (each such occurrence being an
“Event”), the Company, Oncor and/or the IPO Vehicle, as applicable, shall not be obligated
to repurchase or redeem any of the Units or the Stock Appreciation Rights from the applicable
Management Stockholder Entities to the extent it would cause any such default, or would be so
prohibited by the Event, for cash but instead, with respect to such portion with respect to which
cash settlement is prohibited, may satisfy its obligations with respect to the Management

Stockholder’s active employment with the Management Stockholder Employer is terminated by the
Management Stockholder without Good Reason, other than on account of death, Disability or
Retirement (such event, a “Section 6(a) Call Event”), then:
(i) With respect to any Purchased Units, the Company, Oncor or the IPO Vehicle, as the
case may be, may purchase, on one occasion, all or any portion of such Management Units,
then held by the applicable Management Stockholder Entities at a per unit purchase price
equal to the Base Price, but only if such termination occurs prior to October 10, 2012;
(ii) With respect to any Oncor Units or IPO Stock, as applicable, issued in respect of
vested Stock Appreciation Rights, Oncor or the IPO Vehicle may purchase, on one occasion,
all or any portion of the Oncor Units or shares of such IPO Stock, as applicable, then held
by the applicable Management Stockholder Entities at a per unit purchase price equal to (x)
if such termination occurs prior to October 10, 2012, the per unit Fair Market Value of
Oncor Units or IPO Stock, as applicable, less 20% of the amount, if any, by which such per
unit Fair Market Value exceeds the Base Price of the underlying Stock Appreciation Rights in
respect of which such units or shares were issued, or (y) if such termination occurs on or
after October 10, 2012, the per unit Fair Market Value of Oncor Units or IPO Stock, as
applicable, on the Repurchase Calculation Date;
(iii) With respect to any vested Stock Appreciation Rights, Oncor may
11
redeem, on one occasion, all or any portion of such Stock Appreciation Rights then held

if such termination occurs prior to October 10, 2012 the excess, if any, of the Fair Market
Value on the Repurchase Calculation Date over the Base Price less 20 percent of the excess,
if any, by which such Fair Market Value exceeds the Base Price, or (y) if such termination
occurs on or after October 10, 2012, the excess, if any, of the Fair Market Value on the
Repurchase Calculation Date over the Base Price of the underlying Stock Appreciation Rights.
In the event the foregoing amount is zero or a negative number, all outstanding vested
Stock Appreciation Rights shall be automatically terminated without any payment in respect
thereof;
(iv) With respect to any cash payment received in respect of vested and exercised Stock
Appreciation Rights, the applicable Management Stockholder Entity shall be required to pay
to Oncor or the IPO Vehicle, as applicable, 20% of the excess, if any, by which such cash
payment exceeds the Base Price of the underlying Stock Appreciation Rights in respect of
which such cash payment was made, if such termination occurs prior to October 10, 2012 (for
the avoidance of doubt, this paragraph (iv) shall in no way diminish rights granted under
paragraph (iii) above); and
(v) With respect to any outstanding unvested Stock Appreciation Rights, all outstanding
unvested Stock Appreciation Rights will be automatically terminated without any payment in
respect thereof upon the occurrence of the Section 6(a) Call Event.
For the avoidance of any doubt, the termination of the Management Stockholder’s active employment
with the Management Stockholder Employer by the Management Stockholder without Good Reason
following October 10, 2012 shall not constitute a Section 6(a) Call Event with respect to the
Purchased Units.
(b) Termination for Cause and other Call Events. If at any time (i) the Management
Stockholder’s active employment with the Management Stockholder Employer is terminated by the
Management Stockholder Employer for Cause or (ii) within twelve (12) months following any

the Management Stockholder engages in a Competing Business (such event under item (ii) above, a
“Section 6(b)(ii) Call Event” and each event described above under items (i) and (ii), a
“Section 6(b) Call Event”), then:
(i) With respect to Purchased Units held by the Management Stockholder, the Company,
Oncor or the IPO Vehicle, as the case may be, may purchase, on one occasion, all or any
portion of such Management Units then held by the applicable Management Stockholder Entities
at a per unit purchase price equal to the lesser of (x) Base Price (or other applicable
price paid by such Management Stockholder Entities for the Management Units) and (y) Fair
Market Value of the Management Units;
(ii) With respect to any Oncor Units or IPO Stock or cash payment received in respect
of vested and exercised Stock Appreciation Rights, the applicable Management Stockholder
Entity shall be required to return the Oncor Units or IPO
12
Stock to, or pay any amounts actually paid to him or her or otherwise received in
respect of any exercise or disposition of any Stock Appreciation Rights, as applicable, to
Oncor or the IPO Vehicle;
(iii) With respect to any outstanding Stock Appreciation Rights (whether vested or
unvested) all outstanding Stock Appreciation Rights shall be automatically terminated or
forfeited, as applicable, without any payment in respect thereof upon the occurrence of the
Section 6(b) Call Event; and
(iv) Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent the Management Stockholder engages in
a Section 6(b)(ii) Call Event after the Management Stockholder has exercised his or her
outstanding Stock Appreciation Rights or received cash in respect of any repurchase or
disposition of any Management Units, Oncor Units or IPO Stock, Section 22(c) shall apply.

(the “Call Period”) of one hundred eighty (180) days following the later to occur of (A)
the date of any Call Event and (B) the date on which the Management Stockholder Entity has held the
Units or Stock Appreciation Rights most recently acquired to be sold or redeemed pursuant to this

The applicable Repurchase Price shall be paid by delivery to the applicable Management Stockholder
Entities of a certified bank check or checks in the appropriate amount payable to the order of each
of the applicable Management Stockholder Entities (or by wire transfer of immediately available
funds, if the Management Stockholder Entities provide to the Company, Oncor or the IPO Vehicle, as
applicable wire transfer instructions) against delivery of certificates or other instruments
representing the Units so purchased. For purposes of this Section 6, any determination of Fair
Market Value shall be made as of the Repurchase Calculation Date.
(d) Use of Note to Satisfy Call Payment. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Section 6 to the contrary, if there exists and is continuing any Event, the Company, Oncor or the
IPO Vehicle will, to the extent it has exercised its rights to purchase Units or redeem any Stock
Appreciation Rights pursuant to this Section 6, in order to complete the purchase of any Units or
redeem any Stock Appreciation Rights pursuant to this Section 6, deliver to the applicable
Management Stockholder Entities (i) a cash payment for any amounts payable pursuant to this Section
6 that would not cause an Event and (ii) a note having the same terms as that provided in Section
5(c) above with a principal amount equal to the amount payable but not paid in cash pursuant to
this Section 6 due to the Event. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Event exists and is

Person other than the Parties any rights or remedies hereunder or with respect hereto.

Management Stockholder shall not be effective unless and until the Management Stockholder has

de minimis way but less than a material way shall require the consent of Management Stockholders
holding a majority of the equity interests held by the Management Stockholders; and
provided further that no amendment shall be effective without the consent of Oncor
Holdings.
16. Closing. Except as otherwise provided herein, the closing of each purchase and

of the right to purchase or sell such Units or redeem such Stock Appreciation Rights hereunder;
provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, payment with

22. Confidential Information; Covenant Not to Compete; Covenant Not to Solicit.
(a) In consideration of the Company and Oncor entering into this Agreement with the Management
Stockholder and hereby promising and committing themselves to provide the Management Stockholder
with Confidential Information and/or specialized training after the Management Stockholder executes
this Agreement, unless there exists any covenant that pertains to the same subject matter as set
forth in this Section 22 in any employment agreement or change in control agreement in effect at
the time of termination of employment between the Management Stockholder and the Management
Stockholder Employer or its Affiliates in which case such covenants shall supersede the covenants
contained in this Section 22; then the Management Stockholder shall be subject to the covenants
contained in this Section 22. Subject to the preceding sentence, the Management Stockholder shall
not, directly or indirectly:
(i) at any time during or after the Management Stockholder’s employment with the
Management Stockholder Employer, disclose any Confidential Information pertaining to the
business of the Company, Oncor, any IPO Vehicle, any other Management Stockholder Employer
or any of their Subsidiaries or the Sponsor Group
24
or any of their respective Affiliates, except when required to perform his or her
duties to the Management Stockholder Employer, by law or judicial process;
(ii) at any time during the Management Stockholder’s employment with the Management
Stockholder Employer and for a period of twelve (12) months thereafter (the
“Non-Compete Period”), directly or indirectly, act as a proprietor, investor,
director, officer, employee, substantial stockholder, consultant, or partner in any
Competing Business in Texas or any other geographic area in which EFH Corp., Oncor
Holdings, Oncor, any IPO Vehicle or any of their Subsidiaries operates or conducts
business; or
(iii) at any time during the Management Stockholder’s employment with the Management
Stockholder Employer and for a period of twelve (12) months thereafter, directly or
indirectly (A) solicit customers or clients of EFH Corp., Oncor, any IPO Vehicle or any of
their Subsidiaries to terminate their relationship with EFH Corp., Oncor, any IPO Vehicle
or any of their Subsidiaries or otherwise solicit such customers or clients to compete with
any businesses of EFH Corp., Oncor, any IPO Vehicle or any of their Subsidiaries, or (B)
solicit or offer employment to any person who is, or has been at any time during the twelve
(12) months immediately preceding the termination of the Management Stockholder’s
employment employed by EFH Corp., Oncor, any IPO Vehicle or any of their Subsidiaries;
provided that in each of (ii) and (iii) above, such restrictions shall not apply with
respect to any member of the Sponsor Group or any of its Affiliates that is not engaged in any
business that competes, directly or indirectly, with EFH Corp., Oncor, any IPO Vehicle or any of
their Subsidiaries. If the Management Stockholder is bound by any other agreement with EFH Corp.,
Oncor, any IPO Vehicle, the Company or any of their respective Subsidiaries regarding the use or
disclosure of Confidential Information, the provisions of this Agreement shall be read in such a
way as to further restrict and not to permit any more extensive use or disclosure of Confidential
Information. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for the purposes of Section 22(a)(ii), (A) the
Management Stockholder may, directly or indirectly own, solely as an investment, securities of any
Person engaged in the business of EFH Corp., Oncor, any IPO Vehicle, the Company or any of their
respective Subsidiaries or their respective Affiliates which are publicly traded on a national or
regional stock exchange or quotation system or on the over-the-counter market if the Management
Stockholder (I) is not a controlling person of, or a member of a group which controls, such person
and (II) does not, directly or indirectly, own 5% or more of any class of securities of such Person
(B) the Non-Compete Period shall not be triggered by any exercise of tag-along rights under the
Sale Participation Agreement, Drag Transaction, EFH Drag Transaction, Oncor Drag Transaction, or
transaction pursuant to Section 4(b) or 4(e) that may occur after the date hereof.
(b) Notwithstanding clause (a) above, if at any time a court holds that the restrictions
stated in such clause (a) are unreasonable or otherwise unenforceable under circumstances then
existing, the parties hereto agree that the maximum period, scope or geographic area determined to
be reasonable under such circumstances by such court will be substituted for the stated period,
scope or area. Because the Management Stockholder’s services are unique and because the Management
Stockholder has had access to Confidential
25
Information, the parties hereto agree that money damages will be an inadequate remedy for any
breach of this Agreement (except with respect to any violation of provisions of Section 22(a)(ii)).
In the event of a breach or threatened breach of this Agreement, the Company or its successors or
assigns may, in addition to other rights and remedies existing in their favor, apply to any court
of competent jurisdiction for specific performance and/or injunctive relief in order to enforce, or
prevent any violations of, the provisions hereof (without the posting of a bond or other security).
(c) In the event that the Management Stockholder engages in activity giving rise to a Section
6(b)(ii) Call Event or breaches any of the provisions of Sections 22(a)(ii) or 22(a)(iii), the
Management Stockholder shall be required to pay to the Company, Oncor or the IPO Vehicle any
amounts actually paid (including any dividends) to him or her or otherwise received in respect of
any repurchase or disposition of any Stock Appreciation Rights, Management Units, Oncor Units or
IPO Stock held by such Management Stockholder; provided that, in the event the Management
Stockholder engages in activity giving rise to a Section 6(b)(ii) Call Event (to the extent the
provisions of Section 6(b)(iv) are applicable) or breaches any of the provisions of Section
22(a)(ii), the provisions of this Section 22(c) shall be the Company’s, Oncor’s and/or the IPO
Vehicle’s sole remedy.
23. Voting. The Management Stockholder acknowledges that the Managing Member, on
behalf of the Company, shall have the exclusive right to vote (or cause to vote) or execute (or
cause to execute) consents with respect to Management Units and the Oncor Units held by the
Company, directly or indirectly, on any matter to be voted upon at any meeting of the holders of
Oncor Units, or in connection with any proposed action by written consent of the holders of Oncor
Units; provided that, with respect to votes or executions of consents attributed to Oncor
Units held by the Company, each Management Stockholder shall have the right to direct the Managing
Member to vote (or cause to vote) or execute (or cause to execute) consents attributable to Oncor
Units equal to the total Oncor Units held by the Company multiplied by a percentage calculated by
dividing (x) the aggregate number of Management Units held by such Management Stockholder by (y)
the aggregate number of Management Units issued and outstanding on such date if such Management
Stockholder provides the Managing Member a written indication of such direction no less than 10
Business Days prior to such vote or execution, unless some lesser time period is consented to by
the Managing Member; provided further that, the forgoing proviso shall not apply to
any vote at a regular or special meeting of the members of Oncor for the express purpose of
approving any Change in Control transaction or agreement and subject to, and to the extent
permitted, by the laws of the State of Texas, each Management Stockholder hereby irrevocably
appoints Oncor Holdings and any authorized representatives and designees thereof as its lawful
proxy and attorney-in-fact to exercise with full power in such Management Stockholder’s name and on
its behalf any right that Management Stockholder has to vote on such matter in respect of its
indirect interest in Oncor through its Management Units and in respect of any other Oncor Units
that it directly holds. If voting under any such proxy, Oncor Holdings, and any authorized
representatives and designees thereof, shall vote under such proxy on behalf of each such
Management Stockholder in the same manner as Oncor Holdings votes any outstanding membership
interests in Oncor owned by it at any such regular or special meeting of the stockholders of Oncor
for the express purpose of approving any Change in Control transaction or agreement. This proxy
is irrevocable and is coupled with an interest and shall not be terminable as long as this
Agreement remains effective among the parties hereto, their successors, transferees and assigns
26
and, if such Management Stockholder is a natural person, shall not terminate on the disability
or incompetence of such Management Stockholder. Oncor is hereby requested and directed to honor
this proxy upon its presentation by Oncor Holdings and any authorized representatives and designees
thereof, without any duty of investigation whatsoever on the part of Oncor. Each such Management
Stockholder agrees that Oncor, and Oncor’s secretary shall not be liable to such Management
Stockholder for so honoring this proxy. This Section 23 shall terminate and be of no further force
or effect upon the later of (x) October 10, 2012 or (y) the consummation of a Qualified Public
Offering of Oncor.
24. IPO Exchange. At any time after the date hereof, in connection with a Public
Offering of an IPO Vehicle, Oncor may determine that it is in the best interests of Oncor to
exchange any Oncor Units held by the Company and the Management Stockholder for IPO Stock. In such
event, the Management Stockholder agrees to exchange any Oncor Units held by it for IPO Stock;
provided that, the rights attaching to such IPO Stock shall be substantially equivalent to the
rights that attached to the Oncor Units previously held by such Management Stockholder.
25. Liability. Notwithstanding anything contained herein or otherwise, EFH Corp.,
Oncor Holdings and Parent are not parties to this agreement and shall bear no liability, nor make
any representations and warranties herein.
26. Final Agreement. This agreement constitutes the final agreement between the
parties with respect to the matters contained herein and amends, restates and supercedes any and
all prior written or oral management stockholder agreements.
