Effect of the Merger on Capital Stock;

Exchange of Certificates

Section 4.1 Effect on Capital Stock. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the Reorganized Company, Parent, the holders of any Common Stock, the holders of any equity interests in Parent or any other Person:

(a) Merger Consideration. On the terms set forth in this Agreement and the Plan of Reorganization, each share of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (a “Share” or, collectively, the “Shares”), other than Excluded Shares (as defined below), shall be converted into one Parent Common Share (the “Per Share Merger Consideration”), which shares shall be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable (except to the extent that such non-assessability is limited by the MGCL or the DGCL, as the case may be). All such Shares (other than Excluded Shares), when so converted, shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled and shall cease to exist, and each holder of a certificate that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented any such Shares (other than Excluded Shares) (each a “Certificate”) and each holder of Shares (other than Excluded Shares) held in uncertificated book-entry form (the “Book-Entry Shares”) shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the Parent Common Shares.

(b) Cancellation of Excluded Shares. Each Share owned by Parent, the Company or any direct or indirect wholly owned Subsidiary of the Company (each, an “Excluded Share”) shall cease to be outstanding, shall be cancelled and retired without payment of any consideration therefor and shall cease to exist.

(c) Parent Common Shares. Each Parent Common Share issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall remain outstanding.

Section 4.2 Exchange of Certificates.

(a) Exchange Agent and Exchange Procedures. Prior to the First Closing, Parent shall enter into an exchange agent agreement with an exchange agent (the “Exchange Agent”) to act as exchange agent, registrar and transfer agent for the purpose of exchanging Certificates or Book-Entry Shares, other than Excluded Shares, for the Per Share Merger Consideration applicable thereto. As soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time and in any event not later than the fifth (5th) Business Day following the Effective Time, Parent shall issue, or cause to be issued, to each holder of record of a Certificate or Book-Entry Share that immediately prior to the Effective Time represented outstanding Shares (other than Excluded Shares), pursuant to such documentation and procedures as Parent shall determine, that number of Parent Common Shares (which shall be in uncertificated book-entry form through a direct registration system maintained by Parent, except to the extent that a Purchaser Transaction Party requests in writing delivery of a Certificate), that such holder

has the right to receive pursuant to the provisions of this Article IV, and each Certificate or Book-Entry Share (other than Excluded Shares) shall be canceled at the Effective Time. In the event of a transfer of ownership of Shares (other than Excluded Shares) that is not registered in the transfer records of the Company, the proper number of Parent Common Shares may be issued to a Person other than the Person in whose name the Certificate or Book-Entry Share so surrendered is registered if such Certificate or Book-Entry Share shall be properly endorsed or otherwise be in proper form for transfer and the Person requesting such issuance shall pay any transfer or other Taxes required by reason of the issuance of Parent Common Shares to a Person other than the registered holder of such Certificate or Book-Entry Share or establish to the reasonable satisfaction of Parent that such Tax has been paid or is not applicable. Until exchanged as contemplated by this Section 4.2(a), each Certificate and Book-Entry Share (other than Excluded Shares) shall be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive upon such exchange the Per Share Merger Consideration, which the holder thereof has the right to receive in respect of such Certificate or Book-Entry Share pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement. No interest shall be paid or will accrue on the Per Share Merger Consideration.

(b) Transfers. From and after the Effective Time, there shall be no transfers on the stock transfer books of the Reorganized Company or the Surviving Company of the Shares that were outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time. If, after the Effective Time, any Certificate or Book-Entry Share (other than Excluded Shares) is presented to the Surviving Company or the Exchange Agent for transfer, it shall be cancelled and exchanged for the Per Share Merger Consideration to which the holder thereof is entitled pursuant to and in accordance with this Article IV, together with any unpaid distributions thereon with a record date on or after the Effective Time payable at such time in accordance with Section 4.2(g).

(c) Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. In the event any Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the Person claiming such Certificate to be lost, stolen or destroyed and, if required by the Surviving Company, the posting by such Person of a bond in customary amount and upon such terms as may be required by the Surviving Company as indemnity against any claim that may be made against it with respect to such Certificate, the Exchange Agent will treat such Person as having delivered his, her or its Certificate for purposes of Section 4.2(a).

(d) Withholding Rights. The Surviving Company and the Exchange Agent shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code, or any other applicable state, local or foreign Tax Law. To the extent that amounts are so withheld by the Surviving Company or the Exchange Agent, as the case may be, such withheld amounts (i) shall be remitted to the applicable Governmental Entity, and (ii) shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made by the Surviving Company or the Exchange Agent, as the case may be.

(e) No Further Ownership Rights in the Shares. The Parent Common Shares issued upon the surrender of Certificates or Book-Entry Shares (other than Excluded Shares) shall be deemed to have been issued in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such Certificates or Book-Entry Shares.

(f) No Liability. None of Parent, OV2, the Equity Commitment Parties, the Company, EFIH, the Surviving Company or the Exchange Agent or any of their respective directors, officers, employees, representatives and agents shall be liable to any Person in respect of any Parent Common Shares, any unpaid distributions with respect thereto with a record date after the Effective Time, in each case delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law. If any Certificate or Book-Entry Shares shall not have been surrendered prior to such date as the applicable Per Share Merger Consideration or any distributions payable with a record date on or after the Effective Time with respect to any Parent Common Share would escheat to or become the property of any Governmental Entity, any such Per Share Merger Consideration and distributions shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, become the property of the Surviving Company, free and clear of all claims or interest of any Person previously entitled thereto.

(g) Distributions with Respect to Unexchanged Shares. After the Merger, no dividends or other distributions with respect to the Parent Common Shares with a record date on or after the Effective Time shall be paid to the holder of any Certificate or Book-Entry Share that has not been properly exchanged in accordance with the applicable provisions of Section 4.1 and this Section 4.2 until such Certificate or Book-Entry Shares is surrendered for exchange in accordance with this Article IV. Subject to the effect of applicable Law, following exchange of any such Certificate or Book Entry Shares, there shall be paid to the holder of the Parent Common Shares issued in exchange therefor, without interest, at the time of such surrender, any unpaid distributions with a record date on or after the Effective Time theretofore payable with respect to such Parent Common Shares.

(i) There are no Actions pending or, to the knowledge of Parent or OV2, threatened in writing against the Parent or OV2 that seek to enjoin, or would reasonably be expected to have the effect of preventing, making illegal, or otherwise impeding any of the Transactions, or otherwise to prevent, materially restrict or materially impair the ability of the Purchasers to consummate the Parent Subject Transactions.

(ii) Neither Parent nor OV2 has any material liabilities or obligations of any nature (whether accrued, absolute, contingent or otherwise), other than liabilities and obligations incurred or to be incurred in connection with this Agreement or otherwise relating to the Financing or the Parent Subject Transactions.

(f) Financing.

(i) Parent has delivered to the Company a true, complete and correct copy of (A) an executed commitment letter, dated as of the date of this Agreement (as amended, modified, supplemented, replaced or extended from time to time after the date of this Agreement in compliance with Section 6.17, the “Debt Commitment Letter”), from the lenders (including any lenders who become party thereto by joinder or otherwise) party thereto (collectively, the “Lenders”), together with their respective Affiliates, officers, directors, employees, agents, equityholders, advisors and representatives and their respective successors and assigns involved in the Debt Financing (the “Financing Sources”), pursuant to which the Lenders or their respective Affiliates have agreed, subject to the terms and conditions thereof, to provide the debt amounts set forth therein (the debt financing contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letter (including any debt securities to be incurred in connection with the Bond Financing), together with any permitted Alternative Debt Financing (as defined below), is collectively referred to in this Agreement as, the “Debt Financing”), and (B) the fee letter referred to in the Debt Commitment Letter (with solely the fee amounts, pricing caps and other economic “market flex” monetary terms redacted in a customary manner (none of which would adversely affect or

reduce the amount or availability of the Debt Financing (other than as may be permitted pursuant to, and in accordance with, Section 1.3 and as set forth on Section 1.1 of the Parent Disclosure Letter)) (as amended, modified, supplemented, replaced or extended from time to time after the date of this Agreement in compliance with Section 6.17, the “Fee Letter”).

(ii) The Purchasers have delivered to the Company true, correct and complete copies of the executed Plan Support Agreement, the executed Backstop Agreement, the Guarantee and the executed Equity Commitment Letter, each dated on or about the date of this Agreement, executed by each of the Purchaser Transaction Parties that is party thereto.

(iii) Except as expressly set forth in the Debt Commitment Letter, Equity Commitment Letter, the Backstop Agreement and the Guarantee (collectively, the “Commitment Documents”) (or in the unredacted portions of the Fee Letter) delivered to the Company, there are no conditions precedent to the obligations of the Lenders or their respective Affiliates or Equity Commitment Parties to provide the financings contemplated thereby (collectively, the “Financing”) or any contingencies that would permit the Lenders or their respective Affiliates or Equity Commitment Parties to reduce the total amount of the Debt Financing or Equity Financing, as applicable. There are no other agreements, side letters or arrangements relating to the Financing to which either of the Purchasers is a party as of the date of this Agreement which could impose conditions to the funding of the Financing, other than those set forth in the Commitment Documents (or in the unredacted portions of the Fee Letter) and the payment of fees to applicable Lenders and Purchaser Transaction Parties or their respective Affiliates in connection with the Financing. As of the date of this Agreement, assuming the truth and accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Company and EFIH contained in this Agreement and the Backstop Agreement, neither Purchaser has any reason to believe that it will be unable to satisfy on a timely basis all conditions to be satisfied by it in the Commitment Documents or the Fee Letter at the time it is required to consummate the First Closing hereunder, nor does either Purchaser have knowledge, as of the date of this Agreement, that any of the Lenders or their respective Affiliates or Equity Commitment Parties will not perform their respective funding obligations under the Commitment Documents in accordance with its terms and conditions.

(iv) The Commitment Documents are a valid, binding obligation of each Purchaser and, to the knowledge of each Purchaser, the other parties thereto, are in full force and effect and, no event has occurred that, with or without notice, lapse of time, or both, would reasonably be expected to constitute a default or breach or a failure to satisfy a condition precedent on the part of either Purchaser, or to the knowledge of either Purchaser, any other party thereto under the terms and conditions of the Commitment Documents and Fee Letter. The Purchasers have paid in full any and all commitment fees or other fees required to be paid on or before the date of this Agreement pursuant to the terms of the Commitment Documents and Fee Letter, and will pay in full any such amounts due on or before the First Closing Date pursuant to such terms and the terms of this Agreement. Neither the Commitment Documents nor the Fee Letter have been modified, altered or amended on or prior to the date of this Agreement. None of the commitments under the Commitment Documents have

been withdrawn or rescinded prior to the date of this Agreement, nor, as of the date hereof, is any such amendment, modification, withdrawal or rescission currently contemplated or the subject of current discussions.

(v) After giving effect to the Equity Draw-Down, and assuming that the First Closing Date occurs on or about March 31, 2016, the Purchasers will hold cash contributed (A) by the Equity Commitment Parties pursuant to the Equity Draw-Down and (B) pursuant to the Rights Offering and Backstop Agreement, which amounts, together with the other funding sources referred to in Section 1.4 and cash to be provided by the OV2 Contribution, shall be sufficient to (x) repay 100% of the Interim Financing, (y) fund the Repayment Amount and (z) pay all other amounts payable at the Closings by any Purchaser or the Surviving Company pursuant to or in connection with any Signing Date Agreement, the Debt Financing, the Equity Financing and/or the Transactions.

(g) Purchasers. OV2 was formed solely for the purpose of engaging in the Parent Subject Transactions and activities incidental thereto. All of the outstanding equity securities of Parent and OV2 are owned by a subsidiary of Xxxx Consolidated, Inc. (“Xxxx”), and at the time of the First Closing will be owned directly or indirectly by the Equity Commitment Parties. Except in connection with its formation, as contemplated by this Agreement or otherwise relating to the Financing or the Transactions, neither Parent nor OV2 has, and prior to the time of the First Closing will not have engaged in any business activities of any type or kind whatsoever or entered into any agreements or arrangements with any Person.

(h) Brokers. Neither Purchaser has employed any broker or finder or incurred any liability for any brokerage fees, commissions or finders’ fees in connection with the Transactions, except that the Purchasers have employed, and are solely responsible for the fees and expenses of, the financial advisors identified in Section 5.2(h) of the Parent Disclosure Letter.

(i) Taxes. As of the date hereof, OV2 is classified and properly treated as a disregarded entity for federal income tax purposes and, after giving effect to the First Closing, OV2 will be classified and properly treated as a partnership for federal income tax purposes. Parent is classified and properly treated as a corporation for federal income tax purposes. Parent and OV2 have not taken or agreed to take any action, and are not aware of any facts or circumstances, in each case, that would prevent or impede, or would reasonably be expected to prevent or impede, the Merger from qualifying as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code. This Section 5.2(i) contains the sole and exclusive representations and warranties of Parent and OV2 relating to Taxes.

(j) Plant Closings and Mass Layoffs. Neither Parent nor OV2 currently plans or contemplates any plant closings, reductions in force, or terminations of Oncor Employees (as defined below) that would reasonably be expected to give rise to obligations under the WARN Act.

(k) Financing. In no event shall the receipt or availability of any funds or financing by either Purchaser or any Affiliate thereof be a condition to either Purchaser’s obligations hereunder.

(l) The Offer. Contemporaneous with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, Parent delivered and made the Offer.

(m) Disclaimer of Other Representations and Warranties. EACH PURCHASER (INDIVIDUALLY AND ON BEHALF OF ITS EQUITYHOLDERS) ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT NEITHER THE COMPANY NOR ANY OF ITS SUBSIDIARIES MAKES ANY REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, AS TO ANY MATTER WHATSOEVER EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THE SIGNING DATE AGREEMENTS OR IN ANY CERTIFICATE DELIVERED BY THE COMPANY TO EITHER PURCHASER IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS THEREOF, AND SPECIFICALLY (BUT WITHOUT LIMITING THE GENERALITY OF THE FOREGOING) THAT, EXCEPT FOR THE REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THE SIGNING DATE AGREEMENTS, NEITHER THE COMPANY NOR ANY OF ITS SUBSIDIARIES MAKES ANY REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY WITH RESPECT TO (X) ANY PROJECTIONS, ESTIMATES OR BUDGETS OF THE COMPANY OR ANY OF ITS SUBSIDIARIES DELIVERED OR MADE AVAILABLE TO EITHER PURCHASER (OR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, MANAGERS, EMPLOYEES OR REPRESENTATIVES) OF FUTURE (I) REVENUES, (II) RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (OR ANY COMPONENT THEREOF), (III) CASH FLOWS OR (IV) FINANCIAL CONDITION (OR ANY COMPONENT THEREOF) OF THE COMPANY AND/OR ANY OF ITS SUBSIDIARIES OR (Y) THE FUTURE BUSINESS AND OPERATIONS OF THE COMPANY AND/OR ANY OF ITS SUBSIDIARIES.

Section 6.2 Alternative Proposals.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, except as specifically permitted by Section 6.2(d) with respect to a Backup Restructuring Proposal, during the period beginning on the date of this Agreement and ending on the earlier of the First Closing Date or the Termination Date, the Company and its Subsidiaries shall not, and shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause their respective directors, officers, employees, investment bankers, attorneys, accountants and other advisors or representatives (collectively, “Representatives”) not to, (i) initiate or solicit, propose, or knowingly facilitate, knowingly encourage or knowingly induce, the submission of, any Alternative Proposal, in each case except as permitted by clause (ii) hereof; (ii) enter into, maintain or continue discussions or negotiations with any Person with respect to, any Alternative Proposal, other than, in the case of this clause (ii), if the Company Board (or any board of directors, board of managers or similar governing body of any Debtor), in response to the receipt of an unsolicited, written Alternative Proposal from a third party, determines in good faith after consultation with its outside financial advisors and outside legal counsel that such Alternative Proposal would reasonably be likely to lead to a Superior Proposal (in which case the Company shall notify the Purchasers of such determination in writing promptly after such determination is reached); or (iii) enter into any written letter of intent, agreement in principle or other agreement (whether or not legally binding) that constitutes an Alternative Proposal (an “Alternative Transaction Agreement”). In addition, during the period specified in the first sentence of this Section 6.2(a), if any Debtor makes or receives any written proposal or expression of interest regarding an Alternative Proposal that is reasonably likely to lead to a Superior Proposal, the Company and EFIH shall promptly notify counsel to Parent of any such proposal or expression of interest relating to an Alternative Proposal, with such notice to include unless prohibited by any agreement to which any Debtor is a party or applicable Law, the material terms of such Alternative Proposal and the identity of the Person or group of Persons making the same. Unless prohibited by any agreement to which any Debtor is a party or applicable Law, the Company and EFIH shall promptly furnish counsel to Parent with copies of any written offer or other information that they make or receive relating to an Alternative Proposal and shall keep counsel to Parent reasonably informed of any material changes to such Alternative Proposal; provided, that if such an Alternative Proposal is a Backup Restructuring Proposal, such obligation shall only be applicable if such Backup Restructuring Proposal is reasonably likely to lead to a Superior Proposal. During the period beginning on the date of this Agreement and ending on the earlier of the First Closing Date or the Termination Date, no Debtor shall enter into any agreement with any Person which prohibits the Company or EFIH from providing information to the Purchasers that the Purchasers are expressly entitled to receive in accordance with this Section 6.2(a) and each of the Debtors shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to amend any existing agreement to which it is a party which prohibits it from providing such information to the Purchasers; provided that, for all purposes of this Agreement, the commercially reasonable efforts of the Debtors shall not include any payments to any counterparty of any such existing agreement or the undertaking of, or response to, any action, suit, claim, cause of action or other form of litigation. Notwithstanding anything else in this Agreement to contrary, references in this Section 6.2 to the Company’s Subsidiaries do not include the Oncor Entities (subject to Section 6.23).

(b) On the date hereof, the Company and its Subsidiaries will immediately cease and cause to be terminated any existing activities, discussions or negotiations with any Persons conducted prior to the date hereof with respect to any Alternative Proposal, other than with respect to any Backup Restructuring Proposal.

“Alternative Proposal” means any bona fide proposal or offer to or from a Person other than the Purchasers or their respective Representatives (or, to the extent that the Purchasers consent in writing to any Affiliate of the Purchasers being treated in the same manner as the Purchasers, any such Affiliate of the Purchasers) with respect to (i) any plan of reorganization or liquidation, proposal, offer, dissolution, winding up, liquidation, reorganization, merger, consolidation, business combination, joint venture, partnership, sale of assets or equity interests or restructuring involving the Debtors or any of their material assets, properties or businesses, (ii) any other direct or indirect acquisition involving the Company and/or one or more of its Subsidiaries or any of their material assets, properties or businesses or (iii) any alternative transaction that would permit the Debtors that are the direct or indirect owners of Oncor Holdings to emerge from the Chapter 11 Cases and does not implement the Restructuring Transactions (as defined in the Plan Support Agreement). For the avoidance of doubt, any proposal by the Company or its Representatives which would otherwise constitute an Alternative Proposal that is not shared by the Company with any third party participant shall not be deemed to be an Alternative Proposal for purposes of this Agreement.

“Backup Restructuring Proposal” means any proposal or offer with respect to any one or more alternative restructuring transactions, plans of reorganization, sales, liquidations, or structured dismissals, either filed or to be filed by the Debtors or filed or to be filed or supported by the Required TCEH First Lien Creditors (other than the Plan of Reorganization) that contains the Required Alternative Terms (as such term is defined in the Plan Support Agreement, including any Alternative Restructuring (as defined in the Plan Support Agreement).

“Superior Proposal” means any bona fide proposal or offer to or from a Person other than the Purchasers or their respective Representatives (or, to the extent that the Purchasers consent in writing to any Affiliate of the Purchasers being treated in the same manner as the Purchasers, any such Affiliate of the Purchasers) with respect to the transactions described in clause (i) through (iii) of the definition of Acquisition Proposal that the Company Board (or the board of directors of EFIH) has determined in good faith, after consultation with its outside financial advisors and outside legal counsel, would, if consummated, result in a transaction superior to the Company (or EFIH, as applicable) than the Transactions, taking into account all terms thereof, including (x) the likelihood and timing of consummation (as compared to the

Transactions) and (y) all material legal, financial (including the financing terms of any such proposal), conditionality, regulatory and other aspects of such proposal.

(d) For the avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding Section 6.2(a), the Company and the other Debtors may, (i) solicit (other than within the meaning of 11 U.S.C. § 1125), negotiate, facilitate, and document the other terms of a Backup Restructuring Proposal, (ii) solicit (other than within the meaning 11 U.S.C. § 1125), negotiate, facilitate, and document the terms of another plan or other restructuring transaction that contains the Required Alternative Terms, and (iii) solicit and enter into an agreement or agreements regarding support for and/or financing of a Backup Restructuring Proposal or other restructuring so long as entering into such agreement or agreements does not violate their commitments and obligations under the Plan Support Agreement; provided, however, that the Company or the applicable Debtor shall use commercially reasonable efforts (x) to keep confidential any solicitation, negotiation, facilitation, and documentation by the Debtors of a Backup Restructuring Proposal and (y) to enter into confidentiality agreements with any counterparty to any agreement regarding support for and/or financing of a Backup Restructuring Proposal, which confidentiality agreement provides that the existence and terms of such Alternative Restructuring shall be kept confidential and shall not be publicly disclosed, except in each case to the extent required by applicable Law or pursuant to such confidentiality agreements (including any “cleansing” provisions set forth in such confidentiality agreements) as determined by the Company or other Debtor in its sole and absolute discretion, and (iv) during the Alternative Restructuring Support Period (as defined in the Plan Support Agreement), pursue an Backup Restructuring Proposal as set forth in Section 5 of the Plan Support Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 6.2(d) shall not permit, and the Company and its Subsidiaries shall not, and shall use their reasonable best efforts to cause their respective Representatives not to, make or support any filings with the Bankruptcy Court or any filings with or submissions or inquiries to any other Governmental Entity, including the PUCT, FCC or FERC or make or support any public statements with respect to any Alternative Proposal or Backup Restructuring Proposal, in each case other than in accordance with this Agreement, the Plan Support Agreement, the Plan of Reorganization and the other Transaction Agreements.

(e) The Company and EFIH shall not, and they shall cause their Subsidiaries (other than the Oncor Entities, subject to Section 6.23) not to, seek to cause or cause the Oncor Entities to take any action that the Company is prohibited from taking pursuant to this Section 6.2.

(v) In connection with any PUCT Filing or application submitted to the FCC or FERC with respect to the Transactions (together, the “FCC/FERC Applications” and, together with the PUCT Filing, the “Applications”), the Company shall not be required to endorse, or cause any of its Subsidiaries to endorse, as the Company’s or its Subsidiaries’ own strategy or take actions to support any modification of the Company’s or its Subsidiaries’ strategy and business plan that the Company determines in good faith would not be in the best interests of the Company or such Subsidiaries to support if the Transactions were not to be completed;

provided, however, that nothing in this Section 6.3(a)(v) shall affect the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ obligation to include the Key Regulatory Terms (as defined below) (as applicable) in the Applications. Nothing contained in this Section 6.3(a)(v) is intended to give Parent, directly or indirectly, the right to control or direct the Company’s or its Subsidiaries’ operations prior to the Effective Time.

(vi) Each of the Company, EFIH, Parent and OV2 agrees that (A) the Applications shall include the information concerning the Transactions, the Company and its Subsidiaries, and the Purchasers required by applicable Laws of the State of Texas and such other jurisdictions as may be mutually determined by the Company, EFIH and the Purchasers, as the case may be, (B) the Applications and any amendments or supplements thereto shall include the key terms and undertakings set forth in Exhibit F hereto (the “Key Regulatory Terms”) to the extent applicable to such Applications and the jurisdictions relevant thereto and such additional agreements or commitments as the Company, EFIH and the Purchasers mutually agree are advisable to obtain the PUCT Approval, FERC Approval or FCC Approval, and (C) neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries (other than the Oncor Entities, subject to Section 6.23) shall, or shall be required or permitted to, agree to, or accept any agreements, commitments or conditions in connection with the Transactions pursuant to any settlement or other agreement with any Governmental Entity, which would constitute a Burdensome Condition without the prior written consent of Parent.

(vii) Subject to Section 6.3(f) and applicable Laws relating to the exchange of information, the Purchasers, on the one hand, and the Company and EFIH, on the other hand, shall use their respective reasonable best efforts to provide the other a reasonable opportunity to review in advance and, to the extent practicable, each will consult with the other on and consider in good faith the views of the other in connection with, all material information relating to either Purchaser or the Company and any of their respective Subsidiaries, as the case may be, that appears in any filing made with, or written materials submitted to, or oral presentations made to any Governmental Entity (other than the NRC) in connection with the Transactions (other than, subject to Section 6.13, in connection with the Chapter 11 Cases). In exercising the foregoing rights, each of the Company and the Purchasers shall act reasonably and as promptly as practicable.

(viii) The Purchasers, on the one hand, and the Company and EFIH, on the other hand, agree not to schedule, to the extent reasonably practicable, any substantive meetings or substantive communications with the PUCT, FERC or in pursuit of obtaining any necessary clearances pursuant to Competition Laws (but excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, the NRC) regarding the Transactions or the Plan of Reorganization without giving the other party or its Representatives a reasonable opportunity to participate in such meeting or communication to the extent permitted by such Governmental Entity, and in any event the parties shall keep each other reasonably apprised of all material substantive communications with Governmental Entities (other than the NRC) of which it is aware regarding the Transactions (other than, subject to Section 6.13, in connection with the Chapter 11 Cases). Nothing in this Section 6.3(a)(viii) shall prevent, limit or restrict the Company’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ or other Affiliates from interacting,

communicating or making filings or applications with, or resolving any investigation or other inquiry of, any agency or other Governmental Entity (i) in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice or (ii) in connection with any aspect of the Plan of Reorganization or the Chapter 11 Cases that is not directly related to this Agreement or the Transactions (subject to Section 6.13). The Purchasers, on the one hand, and the Company and EFIH, on the other hand, shall use their reasonable best efforts to obtain the PUCT Approval and the FERC Approval as expeditiously as possible, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, expressly agree that receipt of such approval from the PUCT or the FERC shall be sufficient to satisfy all conditions relating to any such approval set forth in Article VII hereof, to the extent that the only conditions or requirements to such approval constitute Acceptable Regulatory Conditions.

(ix) In the event that the Company and Parent agree in writing upon the use of common counsel or consultants with respect to the negotiation, preparation or filing of any necessary consent, registration, approval, permits and/or authorizations under this Section 6.3(a)(ix), they shall share equally the fees and expenses of such counsel and consultants. In such case any party who does not pay its full share of such fees and expenses shall reimburse the other party for any such shortfall on a monthly basis to the extent such other party paid more than its share of such fees and expenses. The party to whom such reimbursement is owed shall invoice the other party monthly for such reimbursement expenses and such invoices shall be payable in immediately available funds within thirty (30) days after the receipt thereof.

(b) Information. Subject to Section 6.3(f), the Company and EFIH, on the one hand, and the Purchasers, on the other hand, shall, upon request by the other, furnish the other with all information concerning itself, its Subsidiaries (other than the Oncor Entities, subject to Section 6.23), directors, officers and equityholders and such other matters as may be reasonably necessary or advisable in connection with any statement, filing, notice or application made by or on behalf of any Purchaser, the Company or any of their respective Subsidiaries to or with any third party and/or any Governmental Entity (other than the NRC) in connection with the Transactions.

(c) Status. Subject to Section 6.3(f) and the instructions of any Governmental Entity, the Company and EFIH, on the one hand, and the Purchasers, on the other hand, shall keep the other reasonably apprised of the status of material matters relating to completion of the Transactions, including, upon reasonable request, promptly furnishing the other with copies of notices or other communications received by Parent or OV2 or the Company or EFIH, as the case may be, or any of their Subsidiaries (other than the Oncor Entities, subject to Section 6.23), from any third party and/or any Governmental Entity (other than the NRC or the Bankruptcy Court) with respect to the Transactions. The Company and EFIH will also keep the Purchasers reasonably and regularly advised of the status and progress of, and provide to the Purchasers any information reasonably requested by them regarding, any other consents of Governmental Entities required in connection with the implementation and consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Plan of Reorganization that are related to or could reasonably be expected to affect the Transactions, including any consents or approvals to be granted by the NRC in connection with the Reorganized TCEH Spin-Off and related transactions. Neither the Company nor EFIH shall take any action with respect to the approvals to be granted by the NRC that would be expected to unreasonably delay the consummation of the Transactions.

(d) Regulatory Matters; Reasonable Best Efforts. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, without limiting the generality of the other undertakings pursuant to this Section 6.3, each of the Company and EFIH and Parent and OV2 shall use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, the following actions:

(i) the prompt provision to each and every federal, state, local or foreign court or Governmental Entity (including the FCC, the FERC and the PUCT) with jurisdiction over any Company Approvals or Parent Approvals of information and documents reasonably requested by any such Governmental Entity or that are necessary, proper or advisable to permit consummation of the Transactions;

(ii) with respect to the FCC Approval, the FERC Approval and the PUCT Approval, the expiration or earlier termination of any waiting period under the HSR Act applicable to the Transactions, and any other approval or consent of a Governmental Entity arising due to a change in Law after the date of this Agreement, obtain all such necessary approvals and avoid the entry or enactment of any permanent, preliminary or temporary injunction or other Order, decree, decision, determination, judgment or Law, individually or in the aggregate, that would be reasonably likely to restrain, prevent, enjoin, materially restrict, materially impair or otherwise prohibit the Transactions, including Parent and OV2 taking all actions required by, and accepting all conditions and/or requirements imposed under the terms of any, consent, registration, order, approval or authorization issued by any Governmental Entity in connection with the Transactions to the extent that such conditions or requirements constitute an Acceptable Regulatory Condition; and

(iii) in the event that any permanent, preliminary or temporary injunction, decision, Order, judgment, determination, decree or Law is entered, issued or enacted, or becomes reasonably foreseeable to be entered, issued or enacted, in any Action, review or inquiry of any kind that would make consummation of the Transactions unlawful or that would restrain, prevent, enjoin, materially restrict, materially impair or otherwise prohibit consummation of the Transactions, reasonable best efforts to resist, vacate, modify, reverse, suspend, prevent, eliminate, avoid, remove or comply with such actual, anticipated or threatened injunction, decision, Order, judgment, determination, decree or enactment so as to permit prompt consummation of the Transactions.

(e) Notwithstanding the obligations set forth in this Section 6.3, (A) Parent and OV2 shall not be required to, and (B) the Company, EFIH and their Subsidiaries (other than the Oncor Entities, subject to Section 6.23) shall not be permitted to, without the prior written consent of the Purchasers, take any action pursuant to this Section 6.3 in connection with obtaining the FCC Approval, the FERC Approval and the PUCT Approval, the expiration or earlier termination of any waiting period under the HSR Act applicable to the consummation of the Transactions or any approval or consent of a Governmental Entity (other than the Bankruptcy Court or the NRC) in connection with the Transactions (whether arising due to a change in Law after the date of this Agreement or otherwise) if the taking of such efforts or action, individually or in the aggregate, would result in a Burdensome Condition.

“Burdensome Condition(s)” means any condition, order, sanction, requirement or term that, individually or in the aggregate, (i) would be reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the business, assets, liabilities, condition (financial or otherwise) or results of operations of the Company or the Surviving Company and their respective Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or the Oncor Entities, taken as a whole, (ii) subjects the operations of the Company or the Surviving Company and their respective Subsidiaries or the Oncor Entities following the First Closing Date to any restriction, limitation, condition or obligation that differs materially and adversely from those currently applicable to the Oncor Entities, (iii) would prevent Oncor from recovering in rates material expenditures recovered by Oncor in its rates consistent with its past practices, or (iv) subjects any Equity Commitment Party or any of their Affiliates (other than the Company or the Surviving Company or their Subsidiaries or the Oncor Entities) to a requirement to take or refrain from taking any action or make or undertake any payment or to any condition, order, sanction, requirement or term; provided that (A) the Key Regulatory Terms, and (B) any such condition, order, sanction, requirement or term that primarily relates, as indicated on the face of the order or approval, to the Minority Interest Contribution or the EFIH Parent Issuance shall, in each case, not be deemed to be, or contribute to, a Burdensome Condition, and the failure to receive the approval from any Governmental Entity (including the FERC or the PUCT) of the Minority Interest Contribution or the EFIH Issuances shall not be deemed, or contribute to, a Burdensome Condition. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that to the extent any condition or requirement imposed or reimposed on the Company or any of its Subsidiaries by any Governmental Entity (other than the Bankruptcy Court) in connection with any approval sought in connection with this Agreement is substantially similar to, or has the same effect as, any condition or requirement imposed on Sharyland Utilities, L.P., Sharyland Distribution and Transmission Services, L.P., or any of their affiliates pursuant to Docket No. 35287 issued by the PUCT on July 21, 2008, such condition or requirement shall not be deemed to be, or contribute to, a Burdensome Condition and, shall be deemed to be an “Acceptable Regulatory Condition.”

(f) Notwithstanding the foregoing, all information disclosed pursuant to this Section 6.3(f) shall be subject to the Confidentiality Agreements and nothing in this Section 6.3(f) shall require any party (i) to violate any of its binding obligations with respect to confidentiality, (ii) to disclose any privileged information or (iii) to violate any applicable Laws or Orders; provided, that, as applicable, each of the Company and EFIH, on the one hand, and the Purchasers, on the other hand, shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, provide notice to each other that any information is being withheld pursuant to this provision and shall use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to find a mutually agreeable solution to any such confidentiality and/or privilege concerns. Nothing in this Agreement, including this Section 6.3, shall require, or be construed to require, Parent, OV2 or any of their Affiliates or any of the Equity Commitment Parties or their respective Affiliates to agree to the sale, license, divestiture, hold separate or other disposition of any assets, categories of assets or business or other segments of the Company, its Subsidiaries or Affiliates or of either of the Purchasers or any of the Purchaser Transaction Parties or their respective Affiliates.

Section 6.4 Access and Reports. Subject to applicable Law, upon reasonable notice, each of the Company and EFIH shall, and each shall cause its Subsidiaries (other than the Oncor Entities, subject to Section 6.23) to afford the officers and other Representatives of Parent reasonable access, during normal business hours throughout the period from the date hereof through the earlier of the Termination Date and the First Closing Date, to its employees, properties,

books, contracts and records and, during such period, each of the Company and EFIH shall, and each shall cause its Subsidiaries (other than the Oncor Entities, subject to Section 6.23) to furnish to Parent all such information concerning its business, properties, facilities, operations and personnel as Parent reasonably requests, provided that no investigation pursuant to this Section 6.4 shall (i) unreasonably interfere with the ongoing operations of the Company or its Subsidiaries or (ii) affect or be deemed to modify any representation or warranty made by the Company or any condition to the obligations of the Purchasers contained herein, and provided, further, that the foregoing shall not require the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to (a) permit any inspection, or to disclose any information, that in the reasonable judgment of the Company or such Subsidiary would result in the disclosure of any trade secrets of third parties or violate any of its or any of its Subsidiaries’ obligations with respect to confidentiality if the Company or such Subsidiary shall have used reasonable efforts to furnish such information in a manner that does not result in any such disclosure or violation, including obtaining the consent of such third party to such inspection or disclosure; or (b) disclose any privileged information of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries if the Company or such Subsidiary shall have used reasonable best efforts to furnish such information in a manner that does not result in the loss of such privilege. All requests for information made pursuant to this Section 6.4 shall be directed to Evercore Group L.L.C. or the individuals set forth in Schedule 6.4. All such information shall be governed by the terms of the Confidentiality Agreements, which notwithstanding anything to the contrary therein, shall remain in effect until the First Closing Date (but shall terminate and cease to be of any further force or effect on such date as it relates to information relating to the Company or its Subsidiaries).

Section 6.5 Publicity. The parties shall consult with each other prior to issuing any press releases or making any public announcements with respect to the Transactions (including any initial press release regarding this Agreement and the Transactions), provided that, subject to Section 6.13(b), the Company and its legal counsel, agents, and representatives shall not be required to consult with the Purchasers prior to making filings on the docket of, or statements on the record before, the Bankruptcy Court relating to this Agreement or the Transactions, provided, further, that the Company, on the one hand, and each Purchaser on the other hand, and their respective Affiliates, may, without the prior consent of the other, but only following consultation with the other to the extent reasonably practicable, issue such public disclosure as may be required by applicable Law to which the disclosing party is subject. Nothing in this Section 6.5 shall supersede or override the obligations contained in Section 6.2(d).

Section 6.6 Employee Benefits.

(a) On the First Closing Date, sponsorship (including assumption of all assets and liabilities thereto) of the Contributed Plans (whether terminated or not) will be transferred to TCEH for further contribution to Reorganized TCEH as part of the TCEH Contribution; provided that, except as otherwise set forth in the Amended and Restated Split Participant Agreement (as defined below), none of Parent, OV2, any Oncor Entity or any of their Affiliates shall assume or otherwise incur any liability or obligation under any compensatory, severance or similar arrangement in respect of any Non-Oncor Employee (as defined below), it being understood that Reorganized TCEH and Oncor shall enter into the Amended and Restated Split Participant Agreement.

For purposes of Section 6.6(a):

“Non-Oncor Employee” means consistent with past practices (i) any individual employed by TCEH, Reorganized TCEH or any of their Affiliates immediately following the Spin-Off Date or (ii) any individual formerly employed by TCEH or any Affiliate of TCEH or Reorganized TCEH (which for this purpose would constitute an Affiliate immediately following the First Closing Date);

“Oncor Employee” means consistent with past practices (i) any individual employed by an Oncor Entity or an Affiliate thereof immediately following the First Closing Date or (ii) any individual formerly employed by an Oncor Entity, by any predecessor regulated electric utility business on a full time basis other than as a Non-Oncor Employee or an Affiliate thereof (which for this purpose would constitute an Affiliate immediately following the First Closing Date); and

“Split Participant Service” means service of Oncor Employees or Non-Oncor Employees, as applicable, whose employment includes service with both the regulated electric business of Oncor (or a predecessor regulated electric business) and a non-regulated business of the Company or its Affiliates.

(b) At the First Closing, Oncor and Reorganized TCEH shall duly execute and deliver an Amended and Restated Split Participant Agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit J (the “Amended and Restated Split Participant Agreement”).

(c) The Company and Parent agree to work together in good faith to develop such timelines, plans, agreements, and communications, and to exchange such information as is necessary to effectuate the intent of this Section 6.6 in an orderly manner. The parties to this Agreement have no intent to create any arrangement that would constitute a self-insured “multiple employer welfare arrangement” within the meaning of Section 3(40) of ERISA under Subtitle A of Title I of ERISA or similar state law (a “MEWA”) by virtue of, or in connection with, any of the Transactions. To the extent that the Oncor Retiree Welfare Plan becomes a self-insured MEWA by virtue of, or in connection with, any of the Transactions, it is the intent of the parties to this Agreement that the Oncor Retiree Welfare Plan will only be a self-insured MEWA during the temporary period beginning on the Closing Date and ending on December 31, 2017 (the “Transition Period”). As of the end of the Transition Period, or such earlier date as mutually agreed, the parties to this Agreement and Reorganized TCEH pursuant to the separation agreement contemplated by the Plan of Reorganization shall agree that an Oncor Entity shall create a separate retiree welfare benefit plan for the benefit of the applicable Oncor Employees and Non-Oncor Employees with Split Participant Service (the “Fully Insured Retiree Plan”) that is a “fully insured” MEWA within the meaning of Section 514(b)(6) of ERISA under Subtitle B of Title I of ERISA. In the event that an Oncor Entity would, in connection with the maintenance of the Fully Insured Retiree Plan, otherwise be required to maintain the Oncor Retiree Welfare Plan as a fully insured MEWA, Reorganized TCEH pursuant to the separation agreement contemplated by the Plan of Reorganization and the parties to this Agreement agree to work together in good faith, as necessary, to implement an appropriate approach that satisfies any regulatory requirements applicable to the Fully Insured Retiree Plan and the Oncor Retiree Welfare Plan and offsets any material costs that would otherwise be incurred under such circumstances and that are not otherwise recoverable by Oncor through the rate-making process of the PUCT.

(d) The provisions of this Section 6.6 are solely for the benefit of the parties to this Agreement, and no current or former Employee or any other individual associated therewith shall be regarded for any purpose as a third party beneficiary of this Agreement, and nothing herein shall be (i) construed as an amendment to any Benefit Plan for any purpose, (ii) give any employee or former employee or any other individual associated therewith or any employee benefit plan or trustee thereof or any other third person any right to enforce the provisions of this Section 6.6 or (iii) obligate Parent, the Surviving Company, OV2, Reorganized TCEH or any of their respective Affiliates to (A) maintain any particular benefit plan, except as provided otherwise in the Amended and Restated Split Participant Agreement or (B) retain the employment of any particular employee.

Section 6.7 WARN Act. For a period of ninety (90) days immediately following the First Closing Date, neither Parent nor OV2 shall close any facility or lay off any Employees of the Surviving Company or its Subsidiaries, if such closure or layoff would result in any obligations or liabilities for the Company or any of its Subsidiaries under the WARN Act.

Section 6.8 Expenses. The Surviving Company shall pay all charges and expenses, including those of the Exchange Agent, in connection with the exchange of Shares and other administrative actions contemplated in Article IV. The Debtors shall pay all administrative expenses incurred in the Chapter 11 Cases. Except as otherwise provided in the immediately preceding sentences, in Section 6.3(a)(ix), Section 6.17(g), Section 6.19, Section 6.20(c), Section 6.22, Section 6.25, and Section 8.5 hereof, in the Plan Support Agreement, or in the Settlement Agreement, whether or not the Transactions are consummated, all costs and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the Transactions shall be paid by the party incurring such costs and expenses.

Section 6.9 Indemnification; Directors’ and Officers’ Insurance.

(a) From and after the First Closing, the Surviving Company agrees that it will indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law (and the Surviving Company shall also advance expenses as incurred to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law, provided that the Person to whom expenses are advanced provides an undertaking to repay such advances if it is ultimately determined that such Person is not entitled to indemnification), each present and former director, manager, member and officer of the Company and each of its Subsidiaries (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”) against any costs or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines, losses, claims, damages or liabilities (collectively, “Costs”) incurred in connection with any claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (a “Proceeding”), arising out of or related to such Indemnified Parties’ service as a manager, member, director or officer of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or services performed by such persons at the request of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries at or prior to or on the First Closing Date, whether asserted or claimed prior to, at or after the First Closing Date, including, without limitation, the Transactions.

(b) If any Person asserts a claim (an “Eligible Claim”) against an Indemnified Party that could reasonably be expected to give rise to a right on the part of the Indemnified Party to indemnification under this Section 6.9, the Indemnified Party shall give notice of such Eligible Claim to the Surviving Company as soon as practicable after receiving written notice of such Eligible Claim or otherwise acquiring actual knowledge of the assertion

thereof (but in no event later than ten (10) Business Days after receiving notice of such Eligible Claim or otherwise acquiring actual knowledge of the assertion thereof), and the Surviving Company shall have the right to assume the defense of such Eligible Claim so long as (i) the Eligible Claim involves only money damages and does not seek an injunction or other equitable relief against the Indemnified Party; (ii) the Indemnified Party has not been advised by counsel that an actual or potential conflict exists between the Indemnified Party and the Surviving Company in connection with the defense of the Eligible Claim; (iii) the Eligible Claim does not relate to or otherwise arise in connection with Taxes or any criminal or regulatory enforcement Action; and (iv) the Surviving Company conducts the defense of the Eligible Claim actively and diligently; provided, however, that the failure to so notify the Surviving Company will not relieve the Surviving Company from any liability that the Surviving Company may have hereunder with respect to such Eligible Claim, except to the extent that the Surviving Company is actually prejudiced as a result of such failure. If the Surviving Company elects not to assume the defense, is not permitted to assume the defense pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, or fails to diligently pursue or maintain the defense in a timely manner, then the Indemnified Party may employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Surviving Company to represent or defend the Indemnified Party against any such Eligible Claim, and the reasonable out of pocket attorney’s fees incurred by the Indemnified Party for such counsel will be included in the Indemnified Party’s Costs; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party’s Costs shall not, in connection with any Proceeding or separate but substantially similar Proceedings arising out of the same general allegations, include the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys at any time for all Indemnified Parties, except to the extent that local or specialized counsel, in addition to its regular counsel, is required in order to effectively defend against the Eligible Claim and/or the Indemnified Party has been advised by counsel that an actual or potential conflict exists between one or more of the Indemnified Parties in connection with the defense of the Eligible Claim. If the Surviving Company does assume the defense of an Eligible Claim, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in the defense of such Eligible Claim at its own expense. If the Indemnified Party retains its own counsel, the Surviving Company shall reasonably cooperate in providing information to and consulting with the Indemnified Party about the Eligible Claim. The Surviving Company shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) consent to the entry of any judgment or order or enter into any settlement with respect to any Eligible Claim unless and until the Surviving Company has agreed in writing to pay all amounts payable pursuant to such settlement, judgment or order and such settlement, judgment or order (i) includes an unconditional and irrevocable release of the Indemnified Party for all liability arising out of such claim (ii) does not result in the finding or admission of any violation of Law on the part of the Indemnified Party and (iii) does not impose any injunctive relief or admit to any wrongdoing by or on behalf of the Indemnified Party. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in no event shall the Indemnified Party consent to the entry of judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to an Eligible Claim for which it is seeking indemnification without the prior written consent of the Surviving Company (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).

(c) Prior to the Effective Time, the Company shall be permitted to obtain and fully pay the premium for the extension of (i) the directors’ and officers’ liability coverage of the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ existing directors’, managers’ and officers’ insurance policies, and (ii) the Company’s existing fiduciary liability insurance policies, in each case

for a claims reporting or discovery period of at least six (6) years from and after the Effective Time with respect to any claim related to any period of time at or prior to the Effective Time from an insurance carrier with the same or better credit rating as the Company’s current insurance carrier with respect to directors’ and officers’ liability insurance and fiduciary liability insurance with terms, conditions, retentions and limits of liability that are, taken as a whole, no less advantageous than the coverage provided under the Company’s existing policies with respect to any actual or alleged error, misstatement, misleading statement, act, omission, neglect, breach of duty or any matter claimed against a director or officer of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries by reason of him or her serving in such capacity that existed or occurred at or prior to the Effective Time (including in connection with this Agreement or the transactions or actions contemplated hereby). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Company be permitted to expend, for the entire tail policy, in excess of 300 percent of the annual premium currently paid by Company for its current policies of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance (in the aggregate) (which premiums are hereby represented and warranted by the Company to currently be approximately $7.3 million per annum).

(d) If the Surviving Company or any of its successors or assigns shall (i) consolidate with or merge into any other corporation or entity and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation or entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfer all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any individual, corporation or other entity, then, and in each such case, proper provisions shall be made so that the successors and assigns of the Surviving Company shall assume all of the obligations of the Surviving Company set forth in this Section 6.9.

(e) The rights of the Indemnified Parties under this Section 6.9 shall be in addition to any rights such Indemnified Parties may have under the certificate of incorporation or formation or bylaws, operating agreement or comparable governing documents of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, or under any applicable Contracts or Laws. All rights to indemnification and exculpation from liabilities for acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the Effective Time and rights to advancement of expenses relating thereto now existing in favor of any Indemnified Party as provided in the certificate of formation, bylaws, operating agreement or comparable governing documents of the Company or of any Subsidiary of the Company or any indemnification agreement between such Indemnified Party and the Company or any of its Subsidiaries shall survive the Merger and be assumed by the Surviving Company and shall not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified in any manner that would adversely affect any right thereunder of any such Indemnified Party.

(f) The provisions of this Section 6.9 are intended to be for the benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each of the Indemnified Parties.

(g) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 6.9 to the contrary, the Purchasers may enter into separate agreements regarding the matters covered by this Section 6.9 with one or more Oncor Entities. If any such separate agreement is entered into, the terms of any such separate agreement shall govern in the case of any inconsistency between Section 6.9 and the terms of such separate agreement, solely with respect to the present and former directors, managers, members and officers of the Oncor Entities.

Section 6.10 Resignation of Directors and Officers.

(a) Pursuant to the Plan of Reorganization, except as otherwise may be agreed by Parent in writing, the Company Board, all officers of the Company and all members of any board of directors or similar governing body and all officers of any Subsidiary of the Company (other than the Oncor Entities, subject to Section 6.23) in each case who are in office immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall be deemed to have resigned from such position(s) effective at the Effective Time.

(b) As of the First Closing Date, subject to obtaining the PUCT Approval, the designees of the Company serving on the board of directors of each of Oncor and Oncor Holdings shall resign and be replaced by two (2) members appointed by Parent to serve on each respective board of directors until their successors are duly elected or appointed and qualified or until their earlier death, resignation or removal in accordance with the limited liability company agreement of each of Oncor and Oncor Holdings.

Section 6.11 Takeover Statutes. If any “fair price,” “moratorium,” “control share acquisition,” “business combination” or any other anti-takeover statute or regulation is or may become applicable to the Transactions, (i) the Company and the Company Board and (ii) EFIH and the board of managers of EFIH, in each case shall grant such approvals and take such actions as are necessary so that such transactions may be consummated as promptly as practicable on the terms contemplated by this Agreement and otherwise act to eliminate or minimize the effects of such statute or regulation on such transactions.

Section 6.12 Notice of Current Events. From and after the date of this Agreement until the First Closing, the Company and EFIH, on the one hand, and the Purchasers, on the other hand, shall promptly notify each other orally and in writing upon (i) receipt of any written communication from any Person that is a party to a Company Material Contract alleging that the consent of such Person (or another Person) is required in connection with the Transactions; (ii) becoming aware of any occurrence, or non-occurrence, of any event that, individually or in the aggregate, would cause any of the representations or warranties of such party or parties contained in this Agreement to be untrue or inaccurate which, individually or in the aggregate, would reasonably be expected to result in any condition to the obligations of the other party or parties to consummate the Transactions not to be satisfied; (iii) receipt of any material notice or other communication from any Governmental Entity in connection with the Transactions and (iv) the commencement of any Action that, if pending on the date of this Agreement, would have been required to be disclosed pursuant to, in the case of the Company or EFIH, Section 5.1(g) or, in the case of Parent, Section 5.2(e) (provided, however, that the delivery of any notice pursuant to this Section 6.12 shall not cure any breach of any representation or warranty requiring disclosure of such matter prior to the date of this Agreement or otherwise limit or affect the remedies available hereunder to either party, or any of the conditions set forth in Article VII).

Section 6.13 Bankruptcy Court Matters.

(a) The Debtors shall use commercially reasonable efforts to: (i) file, as soon as reasonably practicable, the Plan of Reorganization, the Disclosure Statement and the Settlement Motion (each as defined in the Plan Support Agreement), (ii) file, as soon as reasonably practicable, motions seeking approval of the Company’s and EFIH’s entry into and performance under the Backstop Agreement and this Agreement; (iii) file on or before

the day that is twenty-eight (28) days after the Debtors’ execution of the Plan Support Agreement, the Supplemental Ruling Request (as defined in the Plan Support Agreement) pursuant to the Plan Support Agreement; and (iv) take all steps reasonably necessary or desirable to obtain orders of the Bankruptcy Court (A) on or before September 30, 2015, approving the Company’s and EFIH’s entry into and performance under the Plan Support Agreement, (B) on or before October 31, 2015, approving the Disclosure Statement, and (C) on or before December 15, 2015, confirming the Plan of Reorganization and approving the Settlement Agreement (as defined in the Plan Support Agreement) and the Debtors’ entry into and performance under the Settlement Agreement, the Backstop Agreement and this Agreement, in each case subject to any extensions to such dates requested in accordance with Section 11 of the Plan Support Agreement.

(b) The Debtors shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide to Parent copies of all motions, filings, pleadings, other documents or proposed orders that the Debtors intend to file with the Bankruptcy Court relating to the Transaction Agreements or the Transactions (including the Plan of Reorganization) no less than three (3) Business Days in advance of such filing; provided, however, that all Parties acknowledge such three (3) Business Day period, as applicable, may not be reasonably practicable in all cases, and that in such cases the Debtors shall provide as much advance notice as is reasonably practicable. The Company and EFIH shall incorporate all reasonably requested comments of the Purchasers in such motions, filings and orders.

(c) In the event that any Order reasonably necessary to consummate the Transactions is appealed or a stay pending appeal is sought, subject to the parties’ respective rights to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Article VIII hereof, the Company, EFIH, Parent and OV2 shall use their respective reasonable best efforts to oppose the appeal or the stay pending appeal and seek the dismissal of any appeal.

Section 6.14 Parent and OV2 Waiver. Subject to the receipt by the Purchasers, the Company and EFIH of a reciprocal release from Reorganized TCEH and its Subsidiaries pursuant to the Plan of Reorganization which is substantially consistent with the release contained herein, and except as set forth in Section 6.14 of the Parent Disclosure Letter, each of the Purchasers, the Company and EFIH, acknowledges and agrees that, effective from and after the First Closing, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law, any and all rights, Claims and causes of action, Debts, liabilities and obligations, of any nature (other than liabilities or obligations arising under the Plan of Reorganization, including in respect of the indemnification contained in the Plan of Reorganization, the Tax Matters Agreement (as defined below) or any other Transaction Agreement), it or any of its Subsidiaries may have against Reorganized TCEH or any of its Subsidiaries following the First Closing or their respective directors, employees, managers, equityholders, successors and assigns (the “Released Persons”) whether arising under, or based upon, any Law or otherwise (including any right, whether arising at law or in equity, to seek indemnification, contribution, cost recovery, damages, or any other recourse or remedy, including as may arise under common Law) are hereby forever fully and irrevocably waived, released and discharged (the “Released Claims”) and following the First Closing no claim shall be brought or maintained by, or on behalf of, any of the Purchasers, the Surviving Company, EFIH or any of their respective Subsidiaries (the “Parent Parties”) against any Released Person, and no recourse shall be sought or granted against any of them, by virtue of, or based upon any Released Claims. Subject to the receipt by the Purchasers, the Company and EFIH of a reciprocal indemnity from Reorganized TCEH and its Subsidiaries pursuant to the Plan of Reorganization which is substantially consistent with the indemnity contained herein,

each of the Purchasers, the Company and EFIH hereby agrees, on behalf of itself and each of the other Parent Parties, effective from and after the First Closing, to indemnify and hold harmless each of the Released Persons from and against, and in respect of, any and all Costs incurred by or on behalf of any Released Person as a result of any violation of this Section 6.14 by any Parent Party.

Section 6.15 Tax-Free Reorganization Treatment. The parties to this Agreement intend that the Merger will qualify as a reorganization under Section 368(a) of the Code, and each shall not, and shall not permit any of its respective controlled Affiliates to take any action, or fail to take any action, that would reasonably be expected to jeopardize the qualification of the Merger as a reorganization under Section 368(a) of the Code. The parties further intend that the Merger will be treated for tax purposes as a transaction that is separate from and occurs after the Reorganized TCEH Spin-Off and that does not adversely impact the qualification of the Reorganized TCEH Contributions and the Reorganized TCEH Spin-Off as a reorganization that meets the requirements of Sections 368(a)(1)(G) and 355 of the Code.

Section 6.16 Issuance of Equity and Repayment of Indebtedness. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, except as provided by Section 9.2 or Section 9.9, the Company and its Subsidiaries shall be permitted hereunder to take any action required to consummate the confirmed Plan of Reorganization, including, relating to the issuance of equity in the Company and repayment of indebtedness as set forth therein.

Section 6.17 Debt Financing.

(a) Parent shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain the proceeds of the Debt Financing on the terms and conditions described in the Debt Commitment Letter and Fee Letter (or replacement financing obtained in compliance with this Section 6.17), including using its reasonable best efforts to (i) except as otherwise permitted in this Section 6.17, maintain in effect the Debt Commitment Letter and Fee Letter in accordance with their terms, (ii) negotiate definitive agreements with respect to the Debt Financing (the “Definitive Agreements”) consistent with the terms and conditions contained in the Debt Commitment Letter and Fee Letter (including, as necessary, the “flex” provisions contained in the Fee Letter) or, if available, on other terms that are acceptable to Parent and would not adversely affect the ability of Parent to consummate the transactions contemplated herein, (iii) satisfy (or obtain the waiver of) on a timely basis all conditions in the Debt Commitment Letter, Fee Letter and the Definitive Agreements within Parent’s control (including payment of all fees and expenses) and comply with its obligations thereunder and (iv) enforce its rights under the Debt Commitment Letter, Fee Letter, and/or Definitive Agreements in the event of any breach or purported breach thereof. Parent shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates not to, take or refrain from taking, directly or indirectly, any action that would reasonably be expected to result in a failure of any of the conditions contained in the Debt Commitment Letter or in any Definitive Agreement.

(b) Parent shall not, without the prior written consent of the Company and EFIH (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), permit any amendment or modification to, or any waiver of any provision (including any remedy) under, or voluntarily replace (it being understood that any Alternative Debt Financing or any Bond Financing shall not be deemed a voluntary replacement for purposes of the sentence), the Debt Commitment Letter or Fee Letter or engagement letter with respect thereto if such amendment, modification, waiver or voluntary replacement (i) adds new (or adversely modifies any

existing) conditions to the consummation of the Debt Financing as compared to those in the Debt Commitment Letter and Fee Letter, each as in effect on the date of this Agreement, in a manner that would or would reasonably be expected to make any portion of the Debt Financing less likely to be timely obtained, (ii) adversely affects the ability of Parent to enforce its rights against other parties to the Debt Commitment Letter, Fee Letter, or the Definitive Agreements as so amended, replaced, supplemented or otherwise modified, in any material respect, relative to the ability of Parent to enforce its rights against such other parties to the Debt Commitment Letter and Fee Letter, each as in effect on the date hereof or in the Definitive Agreements, (iii) reduces the aggregate amount of the Debt Financing (other than (w) as a result of the decision not to proceed with the acquisition of the Minority Interest and in accordance with Section 1.1 of the Parent Disclosure Letter, (x) if at such time (or prior thereto) there is an equivalent increase in the Equity Commitments, (y) reductions of any amounts thereof constituting increases thereto after the date hereof), or (iv) could otherwise be expected to prevent, impede or delay the consummation of any of the Transactions; provided, that for the avoidance of doubt no consent from the Company or EFIH shall be required: (A) for any amendment, replacement, supplement or modification of the Debt Commitment Letter that is limited to adding lenders, lead arrangers, bookrunners, syndication agents or similar entities that have not executed the Debt Commitment Letter as of the date of this Agreement), (B) for implementation or exercise of any “flex” provisions provided in the Fee Letter as in effect as of the date hereof, (C) for any amendment, replacement, supplement or modification to the Debt Commitment Letter or Definitive Agreements so long as such action would not be prohibited by the foregoing clauses (i)-(iv) in this Section 6.17(b) or (D) to add or replace facilities with one or more new facilities or with the Bond Financing.

(c) In the event that any portion of the Debt Financing becomes unavailable, regardless of the reason therefor, Parent will (i) use its reasonable best efforts to obtain alternative debt financing (the “Alternative Debt Financing”) as promptly as reasonably practicable after the occurrence of the event that renders the Debt Financing unavailable but no later than the final day of the Marketing Period (in an amount sufficient, when taken together with any then-available Debt Financing pursuant to any then-existing Debt Commitment Letter, to consummate the Transactions and to pay related fees and expenses earned, due and payable as of the First Closing Date) on terms not less favorable in the aggregate to Parent than those contained in the Debt Commitment Letter and the Fee Letter that the Alternative Debt Financing would replace (taking into account any “flex” provisions) from the same or other sources and which do not include any incremental conditionality to the consummation of such Alternative Debt Financing that are more onerous to Parent or the Company (in the aggregate) than the conditions set forth in the Debt Commitment Letter in effect as of the date of this Agreement or otherwise impede; delay or prevent the Transactions and (ii) promptly notify the Company of such unavailability and the reason therefor.

(d) For purposes of the Recitals and the foregoing Section 6.17(a) through Section 6.17(c), the term “Debt Commitment Letter” shall be deemed to include any commitment letter (or similar agreement) with respect to any Alternative Debt Financing arranged in compliance herewith (and any Debt Commitment Letters remaining in effect at the time in question), (ii) the term “Fee Letter” shall be deemed to include any fee letter (or similar agreement) with respect to any Alternative Debt Financing arranged in compliance with this Section 6.17(d), and (iii) the term “Financing Sources” shall be deemed to include any financing sources providing the Alternative Debt Financing or Bond Financing arranged

in compliance herewith. Parent shall keep the Company reasonably informed on a reasonably current basis of the status of its efforts to consummate the Debt Financing. Parent shall provide the Company with prompt oral and written notice of any material breach, threatened breach or default by any party to any Debt Commitment Letters or the Definitive Agreements of which Parent gains knowledge and the receipt of any notice or other communication from any Lender, guarantor, or other financing source with respect to any breach, threatened breach or default or, termination or repudiation by any party to any Debt Commitment Letters or the Definitive Agreements or any provision thereof. For the avoidance of doubt, Parent shall, directly or indirectly, make all proceeds of the Debt Financing received by Parent available to OV2 as necessary for OV2 to perform its obligations hereunder.

(e) Prior to the earlier of the First Closing Date and the Termination Date, the Company agrees to use reasonable best efforts to provide, and to use reasonable best efforts to cause its Subsidiaries (other than Oncor Entities, subject to Section 6.23) and their respective officers and Representatives to provide, reasonable cooperation in connection with the arrangement of the Debt Financing (including, without limitation, any Bond Financing), (provided that the Purchasers shall use reasonable best efforts to provide the Company with notice of any information needed by the Purchasers as soon as reasonably practicable), including reasonable best efforts to undertake the following: (i) active participation by appropriate members of senior management of the Company (or other employees with appropriate seniority or expertise) in meetings, presentations, road shows, due diligence sessions, drafting sessions and sessions with prospective lenders, investors and rating agencies, in each case, at mutually agreeable times and locations and upon reasonable notice, (ii) assisting with the preparation of customary materials for rating agencies and rating agency presentations, offering documents, private placement memoranda, bank information memoranda, prospectuses and similar documents required in connection with the Debt Financing and/or Bond Financing, together with customary authorization letters authorizing the distribution of information to prospective lenders or investors (which customary authorization letters shall be required notwithstanding the reasonable best efforts standard required of the Company above), (iii) executing and delivering any pledge and security documents, currency or interest hedging arrangements, or other definitive financing documents in the form attached to the Debt Commitment Letters or Definitive Agreements or other certificates, or documents as may be reasonably requested by Parent or otherwise reasonably facilitating the pledging of collateral, provided that such documents will not take effect until the Effective Time, (iv) furnishing all (w) financial statements described in paragraph 5 of Exhibit D to the Debt Commitment Letter, as in effect on the date hereof and (x) all information and data reasonably requested by the Purchasers to prepare all pro forma financial statements required in connection with the Debt Financing, and (y) all financial statements and financial data of the type and form required by Regulation S-X and Regulation S-K under the Securities Act for offerings of debt securities on a registration statement on Form S-3 under the Securities Act, including all information required to be incorporated therein (subject to exceptions customary for a private Rule 144A offering involving high-yield debt securities and in no event shall the Company be required to provide financial information otherwise required by Rule 3-10 (other than customary qualitative disclosure with respect thereto) and Rule 3-16 of Regulation S-X (or any Compensation Discussion and Analysis required by Item 402(b) of Regulation S-K) that would not be reasonably necessary for the independent accountants to deliver customary “comfort” (including as to “negative assurance” comfort and change period)), in connection with the Debt Financing (the information required to be delivered pursuant to this clause (iv) being

referred to as “Required Financial Information”), (v) assisting Parent and the Lenders or their respective Affiliates in obtaining corporate, facilities and securities ratings, as applicable, in connection with the Debt Financing prior to the launch of general syndication of the Debt Financing, (vi) furnishing Parent and the Lenders or their respective Affiliates promptly, and in any event no later than three (3) Business Days prior to the earlier of the Escrow Closing Date (as defined below) or the First Closing Date, as applicable, with all documentation and other information which any lender providing or arranging Debt Financing has reasonably requested at least ten (10) days prior to the Effective Date; (vii) furnishing Parent and the Lenders or their respective Affiliates promptly, and in any event no later than three (3) Business Days prior to the earlier of the Escrow Closing Date (as defined below) or the First Closing Date, as applicable, with all documentation and other information which any lender has reasonably determined is required by regulatory authorities in connection with such Debt Financing under applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including without limitation the PATRIOT Act (which cooperation shall be required notwithstanding the reasonable best efforts standard required of the Company above); (viii) providing input to certain terms and provisions of one or more credit, note purchase or other agreements in connection with the Debt Financing prior to the Effective Time to the extent direct borrowings or debt incurrences or guarantees thereof by the Company or its Subsidiaries are contemplated by the Debt Commitment Letter, and the preparation of customary schedules and exhibits thereto; (ix) causing the Company’s independent auditors to cooperate in connection with the Debt Financing (including providing accountant’s comfort letters and consents from the Company’s independent auditors to the extent required by the Debt Commitment Letter or the Definitive Agreements), (x) obtaining customary payoff letters, releases of liens and other instruments of termination or discharge reasonably requested by the Purchasers in connection with the repayment of indebtedness of the Company and its Subsidiaries (other than Oncor Entities) as necessary pursuant to this Agreement, the Debt Commitment Letter or the Definitive Agreements or to consummate the Transactions, and (xi) otherwise cooperating with the Parent to satisfy any express conditions precedent to the Debt Financing within the control of the Company, provided in each case (A) such requested cooperation shall not unreasonably interfere with the ongoing operations of the Company and its Subsidiaries, (B) neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries shall be required to pay any commitment or other similar fee or incur any other liability or obligation in connection with the Debt Financing prior to the First Closing Date, (C) other than customary authorization letters, none of the Company, its Subsidiaries or their respective officers, directors, or employees shall be required to execute or enter into or perform any agreement with respect to the Debt Financing that is not contingent upon the First Closing or that would be effective prior to the First Closing Date nor prepare any pro forma financial statements, (D) Persons who are on the board of directors or the board of managers (or similar governing body) of the Company and any of its Subsidiaries prior to the First Closing Date in their capacity as such shall not be required to pass resolutions or consents to approve or authorize the execution of the Debt Financing, and (E) none of the Company or its Subsidiaries or their respective officers, directors, or employees shall be required to execute any solvency certificate in connection with the Debt Financing. Nothing contained in this Section 6.17(e) or otherwise shall require the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, prior to the First Closing, to be an issuer or other obligor with respect to the Debt Financing.

(f) From and after the date hereof until the earlier of the Termination Date and the First Closing Date, it is understood that the Parent may seek to market all or a portion of

the Debt Financing and, in connection therewith, Parent may seek to consummate all or a portion of the Debt Financing prior to the commencement of the Marketing Period hereunder (the date of any such issuance, an “Escrow Closing Date”). In this regard, and for the avoidance of doubt, (i) the Company and EFIH acknowledge that their cooperation obligations set forth in Section 6.17(e) include the obligation to use their reasonable best efforts to cooperate with any such efforts, provided such cooperation obligations are limited to those set forth in Section 6.17(e) and (ii) the Purchasers shall not release from escrow the proceeds received in respect of the Interim and Permanent Financing prior to the earlier of the First Closing and the termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms.

(g) Prior to the First Closing Date, none of the Company, its Subsidiaries and its and their respective Representatives shall be required to take any action that would subject such Person to actual or potential liability, to bear any cost or expense or to pay any commitment or other similar fee or make any other payment or incur any other liability or provide or agree to provide any indemnity in connection with the Debt Financing or their performance of their respective obligations under this Section 6.17 or any information utilized in connection therewith. Parent shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its Subsidiaries and its and their respective Representatives from and against any and all costs or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines, losses, claims, damages or liabilities (collectively, “Costs”) suffered or incurred by them in connection with the arrangement of the Debt Financing and the performance of their respective obligations under this Section 6.17 and any information utilized in connection therewith (other than arising from information provided by the Company or its Subsidiaries). Parent shall, promptly upon request of the Company if this Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms, reimburse the Company and its Subsidiaries for all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Company or its Subsidiaries (including those of its accountants, consultants, legal counsel, agents and other representatives), in connection with the cooperation required by this Section 6.17. The Company hereby consents to the use of the logos of the Company and its Subsidiaries in connection with the Debt Financing; provided that such logos are used solely in a manner that is not intended to or reasonably likely to harm or disparage the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or the reputation or goodwill of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.

(h) Parent and OV2 acknowledge and agree that the consummation of the Parent Subject Transactions is not conditional upon the consummation of, or the receipt by Parent or OV2 or any of their Affiliates of the proceeds of the Debt Financing.

(i) As used in this Agreement, the term “Marketing Period” shall mean the first period of fifteen (15) consecutive Business Days, after the date hereof and beginning on the date which Parent shall have received the Required Financial Information from the Company (during which period the consolidated audited, interim and pro forma financial statements of the Company and its Subsidiaries described in Section 6.17(e)(iv) and included in the Required Financial Information shall not require any material change (other than any change to information provided by, or derived from information provided by, Parent or any change caused by any change to information provided by, or derived from information provided by, Parent)) and the other information required to be delivered by Parent pursuant to paragraph 8 of Exhibit D of the Debt Commitment Letter (as in effect on the date hereof); provided that (x) each of (I) November 26, 2015 through and including November 29, 2015, (II) July 2, 2016 through and including July 5, 2016 and (III) November 23, 2016 through and including

November 27, 2016, shall in each case be disregarded for the purposes of such fifteen (15) consecutive Business Day period, (y) if such period has not ended prior to (I) August 21, 2015, then it will not commence until September 7, 2015, (II) December 22, 2015, then it will not commence until January 4, 2016, (III) August 19, 2016, then it will not commence until September 5, 2016 and (IV) December 22, 2016, then it will not commence until January 2, 2017 and (z) the Marketing Period shall not be deemed to have commenced if, after the date hereof and prior to the completion of the Marketing Period, (A) the independent auditors to the Company shall have withdrawn their audit opinion with respect to any audited financial statements contained in the Required Financial Information, in which case the Marketing Period shall not be deemed to commence unless and until a new unqualified audit opinion is issued with respect to such financial statements by the independent auditors to the Company or another nationally-recognized independent public accounting firm, or (B) the Company or any of its Subsidiaries restates or the Company’s board of directors has determined to restate any historical financial statements of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, in which case the Marketing Period shall not be deemed to commence unless and until such restatement has been completed or the Company’s board of directors subsequently concludes that no restatement shall be required in accordance with GAAP, or (C) any of the Required Financial Information would not be Compliant (as defined below) at any time during such fifteen (15) consecutive Business Day period (it being understood that if any Required Financial Information provided to Parent at the commencement of the Marketing Period ceases to be Compliant during any such fifteen (15) consecutive Business Day period, then the Marketing Period shall be deemed to not to have occurred); provided, further, that if the Company shall in good faith reasonably believe it has delivered the Required Financial Information, it may deliver to Parent a written notice to that effect (stating when it believes it completed such delivery), in which case the Marketing Period shall be deemed to have commenced on the date specified in that notice unless Parent in good faith reasonably believes the Company has not completed delivery of the Required Financial Information and, within three (3) Business Days of the delivery of such notice by the Company, delivers a written notice to the Company to that effect (stating with specificity which Required Financial Information Parent reasonably believes the Company has not delivered). As used in this Agreement, “Compliant” means, with respect to the Required Financial Information, that such Required Financial Information: (a) does not, taken as a whole, contain any untrue statement of a material fact regarding the Company and its Subsidiaries, or, taken as a whole, omit to state any material fact regarding the Company and its Subsidiaries necessary in order to make such Required Financial Information not materially misleading under the circumstances; and (b) would not be deemed stale or otherwise be unusable under customary practices for offerings and private “for life” placements of high yield debt securities under Rule 144A promulgated under the Securities Act in order to consummate any offering of debt securities on any day during the Marketing Period.

(j) On the First Closing Date, in accordance with this Agreement and the Plan of Reorganization, the Reorganized Company and Reorganized EFIH shall enter into the Interim Financing Facility. The Reorganized Company and Reorganized EFIH shall cooperate in the preparation of the Interim Financing Facility and shall enter into usual and customary agreements (including usual and customary indemnities) with one or more lenders on terms and conditions reasonably acceptable to the Reorganized Company and Reorganized EFIH. In addition, the Reorganized Company and Reorganized EFIH shall participate in the preparation and execution of any legal opinions or officer’s certificates to be provided in connection with the Interim Financing Facility.

Section 6.18 Tax Matters.

(a) Private Letter Ruling. The Company, on behalf of the Debtors, has filed with the IRS a written request dated June 10, 2014 (the “Ruling Request,” and together with all related materials and supplements thereto filed or to be filed with the IRS, the “IRS Submissions”) that the IRS issue a private letter ruling (the “Private Letter Ruling”) to the Company addressing the qualification of the Reorganized TCEH Contributions and the Reorganized TCEH Spin-Off as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Sections 368(a)(1)(G), 355 and 356 of the Code and certain other matters. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that it is anticipated that the IRS will not provide every ruling requested in the Ruling Request and that, subject to, and except as otherwise specified in, the condition set forth in Section 7.1(e), the Transactions are not conditioned on the receipt of any specific ruling from the IRS.

(b) IRS Submissions. The Company shall be responsible for the preparation and filing of the IRS Submissions which shall be made in a manner that complies with the Plan Support Agreement. The Company shall provide tax counsel of Parent with copies of, and a reasonable opportunity to review and comment on drafts of all IRS Submissions to be filed on or after the date hereof and will incorporate any comments or suggested revisions as are reasonably requested by Parent or its tax counsel with respect thereto; provided, however, that such rights shall not result in unreasonable delays in submitting the IRS Submissions to the IRS. The parties acknowledge and agree that this Agreement and the facts related to the contemplated Reorganized TCEH Contributions, the Reorganized TCEH Spin-Off and the other Transactions will be disclosed to the IRS pursuant to a subsequent IRS Submission. To the extent that the Company, in its good faith judgment, considers any information included in such IRS Submissions (or drafts thereof) to be confidential, the Company may require that any such documents provided to Parent be redacted to exclude such information. Subject to the foregoing, the Company shall provide Parent with copies of each IRS Submission promptly following the filing thereof.

(c) IRS Communications and Cooperation. Two representatives on behalf of Parent shall be given the opportunity to participate in all substantive scheduled communications after the date hereof with the IRS concerning the IRS Submissions, including all substantive scheduled conference calls and in-person meetings after the date hereof. In addition, the Company (i) shall keep Parent reasonably informed and shall consult in good faith with Parent and its tax counsel with respect to any issue relating to the IRS Submissions and (ii) shall provide Parent with copies of all correspondence, notices, and other written materials received from the IRS after the date hereof and shall otherwise keep Parent and its tax counsel advised of significant developments, and of any substantive communications with the IRS after the date hereof, in each case, regarding the IRS Submissions and the restructuring transactions contemplated hereby and by the Plan of Reorganization. The Company and Parent agree to cooperate and use their reasonable best efforts to assist in obtaining the Private Letter Ruling requested in the Ruling Request (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the requested rulings that are not Required Rulings as set forth on Exhibit H). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company and Parent acknowledge that certain of the requested rulings set forth in the Ruling Request address

matters for which the IRS does not commonly issue private letter rulings and, as a result, there is substantial uncertainty as to what representations the IRS may require from the Debtors and Parent. Each party agrees to use its reasonable best efforts to provide any appropriate information and additional representations, and to negotiate in good faith with the other parties to implement any changes to the Transactions, in each case as requested by the IRS in order to issue the Private Letter Ruling. No additional rulings will be requested unless mutually agreed by the Company and Parent.

(d) 280G. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to provide to Parent, as promptly as reasonably practicable, and in any event within sixty (60) days after the date hereof, a true and correct report specifying whether and to what extent the consummation of the Transactions will result in payment of any amount that could, individually or in combination with any other such payment, constitute an “excess parachute payment” as defined in Section 280G(b)(1) of the Code. Such report, when delivered by the Company, shall be deemed a representation and warranty by the Company as to the information set forth therein, with the same effect as if it were set forth in Section 5(h) hereof.

Section 6.19 IPO Conversion Plan; Oncor Restructuring.

(a) The Company hereby agrees that it shall (i) reasonably promptly (but in no event later than ten (10) Business days) following the receipt of an Order of the Bankruptcy Court approving the Company’s and EFIH’s entry into and performance under this Agreement, approve the IPO Conversion Plan, (ii) reasonably promptly following written request of Parent, deliver notice to Oncor of the Company’s intent to undertake the IPO Conversion pursuant to the IPO Conversion Plan (the “IPO Conversion Plan Notice”) and (iii) on the First Closing Date, consummate the steps of the IPO Conversion Plan to be performed by the Company in accordance with Section 1.1. EFIH hereby agrees that on the First Closing Date, it shall consummate the steps of the IPO Conversion Plan to be performed by EFIH in accordance with Section 1.1.

(b) Notwithstanding anything in Section 6.25 to the contrary, all reasonable out-of-pocket Costs incurred after the date of this Agreement in connection with (i) this Section 6.19, (ii) the IPO Conversion Plan or (iii) delivery of the IPO Conversion Plan Notice to Oncor, shall be paid by the Purchasers, and the Purchasers shall, upon the request of the Company, reimburse the Company and its Subsidiaries if this Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms, for all such Costs incurred after the date of this Agreement by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (including those of its accountants, consultants, legal counsel, agents and other representatives) in immediately available funds within thirty (30) days after the receipt of such request. The Purchasers shall be responsible for their own Costs in connection with (i) this Section 6.19, (ii) the IPO Conversion Plan or (iii) delivery of the IPO Conversion Plan Notice to Oncor. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any other Transaction Agreement, including the Plan Support Agreement, prior to the First Closing, neither EFH, EFIH nor any of their Affiliates shall be responsible for paying the fees and expenses of the Purchasers or their Affiliates with respect to this Section 6.19 (and the Purchasers and their Affiliates shall track separately all fees and expenses incurred in connection with this Section 6.19).

(c) The Purchasers shall, jointly and severally, indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its Subsidiaries and its and their respective Representatives, if this Agreement is

terminated in accordance with its terms, from and against any and all Costs suffered or reasonably incurred by them in connection with (i) this Section 6.19, (ii) the IPO Conversion Plan, or (iii) delivery of the IPO Conversion Plan Notice to Oncor, other than any Costs arising from a breach by the Company or EFIH of its obligations under this Agreement (including under Section 1.1, this Section 6.19 and Section 6.22) with respect to such matters.

Section 6.20 Drag-Along Rights.

(a) Each of the parties hereto acknowledges and agrees that the Offer (together with this Agreement to the extent referred to therein) constitutes an offer by Parent to purchase (i) substantially all of the IPO Units in the IPO Corporation or, alternatively, substantially all of the LLC Units in Oncor held indirectly by the Company and (ii) all of the LLC Units in Oncor that are owned by TTI and Oncor Management as provided for in Section 3.3(a) of the Investor Rights Agreement.

(b) So long as Parent has not (x) rescinded the Offer or (y) amended or modified the Offer in a manner that violates the Investor Rights Agreement, at any time following the receipt of a written request from the Parent and prior to the Termination Date, the Company shall (i) prepare a Required Sale Notice (as such term is defined in the Investor Rights Agreement) in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Parent and the Company and consistent with Section 3.3 of the Investor Rights Agreement and the terms of this Agreement and (ii) promptly deliver such Required Sale Notice to TTI.

(c) Notwithstanding anything in Section 6.25 to the contrary, all reasonable out-of-pocket Costs incurred by the Company or its Subsidiaries after the date of this Agreement in connection with (i) this Section 6.20, (ii) the Offer or (iii) delivery of the Required Sale Notice to TTI, shall be paid by the Purchasers if this Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms other than any Costs arising from a breach by the Company or EFIH of its obligations under this Agreement (including under this Section 6.20 and Section 6.22) with respect to such matters. In addition, the Purchasers shall, upon the request of the Company reimburse the Company and its Subsidiaries if this Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms for all reasonable out-of-pocket Costs incurred after the date of this Agreement by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (including those of its accountants, consultants, legal counsel, agents and other representatives), in immediately available funds within thirty (30) days after the receipt of such request. The Purchasers shall, jointly and severally, indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its Subsidiaries and its and their respective Representatives from and against any and all Cost suffered or reasonably incurred by them in connection with this Section 6.20, the Offer or the Required Sale Notice. The Purchasers shall be responsible for their own Costs in connection with (i) this Section 6.20, (ii) the Offer or (iii) delivery of the Required Sale Notice to TTI. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any other Transaction Agreement, including the Plan Support Agreement, prior to the First Closing, neither EFH, EFIH nor any of their Affiliates shall be responsible for paying the fees and expenses of the Purchasers or their Affiliates with respect to this Section 6.20 (and the Purchasers and their Affiliates shall track separately all fees and expenses incurred in connection with this Section 6.20).

Section 6.21 Transition Services Agreement. At the First Closing, the Company and Reorganized TCEH shall duly execute and deliver a Transition Services Agreement containing such terms as Parent and Reorganized TCEH may reasonably agree (the “Transition Services Agreement”), in accordance with the Plan of Reorganization.

Section 6.22 Enforcement of Certain Investor Rights.

(a) Following the execution of this Agreement, Parent shall use its reasonable best efforts to negotiate and execute definitive documentation with TTI (or, if applicable, its equityholders) providing for the acquisition of the Minority Interest as of the First Closing Date for consideration in an amount sufficient to satisfy the applicable requirements of Section 3.3 of the Investor Rights Agreement and otherwise on terms to be mutually agreed by Parent and TTI (or, if applicable, its equityholders). Solely to the extent that, at any time after the date that is thirty (30) days from the date on which the Required Sale Notice is delivered in accordance with Section 6.20, (x) neither Purchaser nor any of its Affiliates has executed definitive documentation with TTI (or, if applicable, its equityholders) providing for the acquisition of the Minority Interest, (y) Parent has complied, in all material respects, with its obligations under this Section 6.22(a) and (z) Parent has neither rescinded the Offer nor amended or modified the Offer in a manner that violates the Investor Rights Agreement, the Purchasers shall be entitled to send a written notice to the Company requesting that the Company commence an Enforcement Action (as defined below). The parties hereby agree that Parent shall have complied with its obligations under this Section 6.22(a) to the extent Parent has made and not rescinded a good faith offer to TTI consistent with the Offer and otherwise made good faith efforts to propose the basis for negotiations and propose draft definitive documentation providing for the acquisition of the Minority Interest as of the First Closing Date consistent with the terms of the Offer.

(b) Promptly following, and in no case more than fourteen (14) Business Days after, the delivery of the written notice described in Section 6.22(a), the Company shall file an action (the “Enforcement Action”) in the Bankruptcy Court (or, if the Bankruptcy Court issues a final Order confirming that it does not have jurisdiction over the Enforcement Action, another appropriate court mutually agreed in good faith by the Company and Parent) that seeks any or all of the following remedies (as determined by consultation among the parties, but including, at a minimum, the remedies described in clauses (i) and (ii) below): (i) a determination that the Company has the right to enforce the Drag-Along Rights and TTI is accordingly bound to consummate the sale of the Minority Interest at the First Closing, (ii) a determination that TTI is obligated to take such actions as may be reasonably required on its part in connection with consummating the IPO Conversion Plan, (iii) a determination, if applicable, that TTI has failed to comply with its obligations under the Investor Rights Agreement with respect to the Drag-Along Rights contained therein or with respect to the IPO Conversion Plan, (iv) enforcement of any other obligations of TTI arising under the Investor Rights Agreement or the Second Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of Oncor, dated as of November 8, 2008, as amended, in each case solely relating to the matters described in clause (i) and/or (ii) above and (v) any other remedy available to the Company at law or in equity in connection with such matters. For the avoidance of doubt, the Company shall have no obligation to bring any other action (whether in law, equity or otherwise) against TTI pursuant to this Section 6.22; provided, however, that, to the extent that TTI or any of its Affiliates commences any action relating to the matters identified in this Section 6.22 against the Company, EFIH and/or any of its debtor Affiliates, the Company or such other Person shall as promptly as practicable seek to remove any such action to the Bankruptcy Court and, to the extent applicable, seek to enforce the automatic stay against such action pending removal.

(c) The Enforcement Action shall be conducted by the Company with counsel selected by the Company, in its reasonable discretion, which may include Xxxxxxxx & Xxxxx LLP. To the extent that the Purchasers move to intervene in and otherwise participate in the Enforcement Action, at their own cost and expense and with their own counsel (which may include Xxxxx Xxxxx L.L.P. or White & Case LLP, or both), the Company and EFIH shall not oppose the Purchasers’ motion, or knowingly take any action with the intent of preventing, restricting or hindering the Purchasers from intervening and participating in the Enforcement Action, and shall support the Purchasers’ right to intervene in the Enforcement Action for any and all purposes related to the Enforcement Action (including related counterclaims) with full rights of participation.

(d) To the extent that, after the commencement of the Enforcement Action, (i) neither Purchaser nor any of its Affiliates has executed definitive documentation with TTI (or, if applicable, its equityholders) providing for the acquisition of the Minority Interest, (ii) Parent has complied, in all material respects, with its obligations under Section 6.22 and (iii) Parent has neither rescinded the Offer nor amended or modified the Offer in a manner that violates the Investor Rights Agreement, the Company shall prosecute the Enforcement Action diligently until entry of a final order resolving the Enforcement Action in its entirety.

A “Successful Outcome” means obtaining the applicable remedies referred to in clauses (i) through (iv) of Section 6.22(b) or entering into a settlement or compromise of the Enforcement Action as set forth in Section 6.22(f).

(e) In connection with the Enforcement Action, the Company and EFIH shall (i) provide Parent and its designated advisors with a reasonable opportunity to review in advance and provide comments to any material filings made in connection therewith, and consider those comments in good faith, (ii) reasonably consult with, and consider in good faith the views of, Parent and designated counsel in connection with the prosecution, defense and/or settlement of such Enforcement Action and (iii) allow Parent and its designated legal advisors to attend, and, if permitted by applicable Law (and only if appropriate agreements are entered into designed to minimize the risk of waiving, and with the intention of maintaining, any privilege or work product doctrine), participate in, all material meetings, communications and proceedings with respect to such Enforcement Action. Without limitation to the foregoing sentence, the Company shall consult with, and consider in good faith the views of, Parent regarding all material strategic decisions relating to the conduct of the Enforcement Action, and Parent shall be entitled to set the timing for the filing of any summary judgment or other dispositive motion and for any trial or other significant hearing; provided, however, that notwithstanding anything to contrary in this Section 6.22, the Company shall be entitled to refrain from taking any action proposed by Parent that it reasonably determines (based on the advice of its counsel) is (A) likely to have a material and adverse effect on the ability of the Company to effectuate the EFH Subject Transactions or the other transactions contemplated by the Plan of Reorganization or (B) inconsistent with its

board of directors’ applicable fiduciary duties. Subject to the limitations set forth in the first sentence of Section 6.22(d), the Company shall, and shall direct its counsel to, use reasonable best efforts to take all steps to prosecute the Enforcement Action as promptly as reasonably practicable, including filing motions with the court, as appropriate, to seek a ruling on expedited treatment for the Enforcement Action, and Parent (including designated legal counsel and other advisors) shall use its and their reasonable best efforts to support and assist the Company in fulfilling its obligations with respect to the Enforcement Action.

(f) Without limiting any other provision of this Section 6.22, the Company shall not settle or compromise any Enforcement Action or consent to the entry of any Order in connection therewith without the prior written consent of Parent (in its sole discretion). Parent shall be entitled to cause the Company to settle or compromise any Enforcement Action or consent to the entry of any Order in connection therewith without the consent of the Company so long as (i) any such settlement or compromise, and any payment obligations in connection therewith, shall be contingent on the occurrence of the First Closing and (ii) Parent provides advance notice of at least five (5) Business Days to the Company of the proposed terms of such settlement or compromise and the Company does not notify Parent in writing within such five (5) Business Day period that the Company has reasonably determined (based on the advice of its counsel) that such settlement or compromise is (A) likely to have a material and adverse effect on the ability of the Company to effectuate the EFH Subject Transactions, or the other transactions contemplated by the Plan of Reorganization or (B) inconsistent with its board of directors’ applicable fiduciary duties.

(g) The Company shall cause its Counsel to track separately all fees and expenses incurred in connection with the Enforcement Action as part of its ongoing fee application process. The Company shall invoice Parent for all reasonable and documented fees and expenses incurred by it and its Affiliates in connection with the Enforcement Action on a monthly basis and such invoices shall be payable by Parent in immediately available funds within fifteen (15) Business Days after the receipt thereof. In addition, the Purchasers hereby agree to, jointly and severally, indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its Affiliates and its and their respective Representatives from and against any and all Costs suffered or reasonably incurred as a result of actions taken pursuant to this Section 6.22, to the extent such actions are taken during the period from the date of this Agreement (other than any Costs arising from a material breach by the Company or EFIH of its obligations under this Section 6.22 or from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Company in connection with the Enforcement Action). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any other Transaction Agreement, including the Plan Support Agreement, prior to the First Closing, neither EFH, EFIH nor any of their Affiliates shall be responsible for paying the fees and expenses of the Purchasers or their Affiliates with respect to the Enforcement Action (and the Purchasers and their Affiliates shall track separately all fees and expenses incurred in connection with the Enforcement Action).

(h) If requested by Parent, the Company, EFIH and their respective advisors shall promptly consent to, execute and deliver to Parent a mutually agreeable common interest or joint defense or prosecution agreement regarding the defense and/or prosecution of any Enforcement Action that is consistent with the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.22. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Enforcement Action” shall include any appeals therefrom.

Section 6.23 Oncor Actions. Promptly after receiving a request therefor from Oncor Holdings, EFIH will deliver to Oncor Holdings the EFH Oncor Consent. Each of the Company and EFIH covenants that it will use its reasonable best efforts to exercise its rights, if any, as a direct or indirect equityholder of the Oncor Entities (including its right to consent and vote), if any, and take other actions within its reasonable control in a manner intended to cause the Oncor Entities to comply with their respective covenants and agreements set forth in the Oncor Letter Agreement, when such agreement has been entered into, and to take or refrain from taking any action that the Company and its Subsidiaries are required to take or refrain from taking pursuant to this Agreement.

Any material governmental consent and approval necessary to consummate the Transactions (other than the Minority Interest Contribution or the EFIH Parent Issuance), including the FERC Approval, the FCC Approval, the PUCT Approval, the NRC Approval, shall have been obtained and shall remain in full force and effect, and the applicable waiting period under the HSR Act with respect to each applicable Transaction (other than the Minority Interest Contribution or the EFIH Parent Issuance) shall have expired or been terminated; provided, that, no conditions or requirements attached to any such approvals, or necessary to result in the expiration of any waiting period under the HSR Act, shall constitute a Burdensome Condition.

(e) Private Letter Ruling. The Private Letter Ruling shall have been obtained by the Company from the IRS and shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company and Parent; provided, however, that the parties acknowledge and agree that (x) the failure of the Private Letter Ruling to contain any of the following rulings shall not be grounds for concluding the Private Letter Ruling is not reasonably satisfactory to either the Company or Parent: (i) the Reorganized TCEH Contributions, the conversion of Reorganized TCEH to a corporation, and the Reorganized TCEH Spin-Off (collectively, the “Reorganization”) qualify as a “reorganization” within the meaning of Section 368(a)(1)(G) of the Code; (ii) the Reorganized TCEH Spin-Off constitutes a transaction qualifying under Sections 355 and 356 of the Code; and (iii) the Reorganized TCEH Contributions and the Reorganized TCEH Spin-Off are not used principally as a device for the distribution of earnings and profits of the Company or Reorganized TCEH and (y) the failure of the Private Letter Ruling to include any one or more of the rulings set forth on Exhibit H will be grounds for concluding the Private Letter Ruling is not reasonably satisfactory; provided further, however, that (A) a particular ruling that, in the reasonable determination of both the Company and Parent, covers substantially the same subject matter as any one or more of the rulings set forth on Exhibit H shall not be grounds for concluding the Private Letter Ruling is not reasonably satisfactory to either the Company or Parent due to its failure to include such particular ruling set forth on Exhibit H; (B) in the event a specific ruling set forth on Exhibit H is not given because the IRS communicates that there is no substantial issue with respect to the requested ruling, the absence of such ruling shall not be grounds for concluding the Private Letter Ruling is not reasonably satisfactory to either the Company or Parent provided that the Company obtains an opinion of nationally recognized counsel, in form and substance acceptable to Parent in its reasonable discretion, at a “will” level with respect to the issue that was initially requested pursuant to the Ruling Request; or (C) a pre-filing agreement (including an agreement in accordance with Revenue Procedure 2009-14) or closing agreement with the IRS shall be acceptable in lieu of any such specific ruling set forth in Exhibit H, provided that such agreement is both (i) binding on the IRS to the same degree as a private letter ruling or is otherwise acceptable to both the Company and Parent in their reasonable discretion and (ii) contains, in the reasonable determination of both the Company and Parent, conclusions that are substantially similar, and have substantially the same practical effect, to those contained in the specific ruling initially requested pursuant to the Ruling Request; provided further, however, that Company and Parent acknowledge and agree that the failure of the Private Letter Ruling to contain Required Ruling 12, 13, or 14 shall not be grounds for concluding that the Private Letter Ruling is not reasonably satisfactory to the Company; provided further, however, that the failure to obtain a ruling that provides that Reorganized TCEH and New Holdco have never been a member of the consolidated group of which EFH is the common parent shall not, standing alone, be grounds for concluding the Private Letter Ruling is not reasonably satisfactory.

Section 8.2 Termination by Either Parent or the Company/EFIH. This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the First Closing by action of either (x) Parent, on the one hand, or (y) the Company and EFIH (acting together), on the other hand, if the First Closing shall not have been consummated by the date that is nine (9) months after the date of this Agreement (as extended pursuant to this Section 8.2, the “Initial Drop-Dead Date”); provided, however, that (i) if any application for the approval of any Governmental Entity that is a condition to the obligations of the parties under Section 7.1(c) (the “Required Regulatory Approvals”) has not been received, as of the Initial Drop-Dead Date, Parent shall have the right to extend the Initial Drop-Dead Date for up to 180 days for the purpose of continuing to pursue any such Required Regulatory Approval by delivery of written notice to the Company and EFIH and (ii) so long as all conditions to the occurrence of the First Closing, other than the receipt of the Private Letter Ruling pursuant to Section 7.1(e), have been satisfied before the Initial Drop-Dead Date set forth in this Section 8.2 (or before the termination of any extension to such Initial Drop-Dead Date pursuant to this Section 8.2), then the Company may extend the Initial Drop-Dead Date until August 31, 2016 for the purpose of continuing to pursue the Private Letter Ruling by delivery of written notice to Parent; provided, further, however, that, if the Marketing Period has commenced on or before the Initial Drop-Dead Date, but not ended on or before the Initial Drop-Dead Date, such Initial Drop-Dead Date shall automatically be extended such that the Initial Drop-Dead Date does not occur sooner than three (3) Business Days after the final day of the Marketing Period (the Initial Drop-Dead Date as extended pursuant to this Section 8.2 being the “Drop-Dead Date”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.2 shall not be available to the Company or EFIH if the willful and intentional failure of the Company or EFIH to fulfill any obligation under this Agreement has been a substantial factor contributing to the failure of the First Closing to occur on or before the Drop-Dead Date. In addition, this Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the First Closing by action of either Parent, on the one hand, or the Company and EFIH (acting together), on the other hand, if any Law or Order permanently restraining, enjoining, rendering illegal or otherwise prohibiting consummation of any of the Transactions (other than the Minority Interest Contribution or the EFIH Parent Issuance) shall have become final and non-appealable; provided, that neither the Company nor EFIH shall be permitted to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this sentence unless it shall have used its reasonable best efforts to contest such Law or Order prior to its becoming permanent. For purposes of this Agreement, the “Termination Date” shall mean the date on which this Agreement is validly terminated in accordance with its terms.

if continuing as of the First Closing and (ii) cannot be, or has not been, cured within thirty (30) days after Parent’s receipt of written notice thereof from the Company or EFIH; provided, however, that neither the Company nor EFIH is then in breach of this Agreement in a manner that would result or has resulted in any of the conditions set forth in Section 7.2(a) or Section 7.2(b) not being satisfied;

(b) by the Company and EFIH (acting together) if Parent and OV2 have failed to consummate the First Closing (other than the Minority Interest Contribution and the EFIH Parent Issuance), notwithstanding the fact that the conditions to the obligation of Parent and OV2 to consummate the First Closing are satisfied, no later than two (2) Business Days after the date required by Section 1.8; provided, however, that neither the Company nor EFIH is then in breach of this Agreement in a manner that would result or has resulted in any of the conditions set forth in Section 7.2(a) or Section 7.2(b) not being satisfied;
