Unless otherwise determined by the Board, the fiscal year of the Company shall be the calendar year.

Section 6. Members; Membership Interests; Actions by Members.

(a) The mailing address of each Member is set forth on Schedule B attached hereto. Each of the Initial Member, the Minority Member and the Management Member (effective, in respect of the Management Member, on the date it is first issued LLC Units) is hereby or was heretofore admitted to the Company as a member of the Company, and hereby continues as such. Unless admitted to the Company as a Member as provided in this Agreement, no Person shall be, or shall be considered, a Member.

(b) The Interests will be evidenced by LLC Units, which LLC Units shall represent and include any and all benefits to which each Member is entitled as provided in this Agreement, together with all obligations of such Member to comply with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Each Interest will constitute a “security” within the meaning of, and governed by, (i) Article 8 of the Uniform Commercial Code (including Section 8 102(a)(15) thereof) as in effect from time to time in the State of Delaware, and (ii) Article 8 of the Uniform Commercial Code of any other applicable jurisdiction that now or hereafter substantially includes the 1994 revisions to Article 8 thereof as adopted by the American Law Institute and the National Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Laws and approved by the American Bar Association on February 14, 1995. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, to the extent that any provision of this Agreement is inconsistent with any non-waivable provision of Article 8 of the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in the State of Delaware (6 Del. C. § 8-101, et seq.) (the “UCC”), such provision of Article 8 of the UCC shall control.

(c) Unit Certificates. Unless and until the Board shall determine otherwise, LLC Units shall be uncertificated and recorded in the books and records of the Company (including

 

- 2 -

Schedule B). To the extent any LLC Units are certificated, such certificates shall be in the form approved by the Board from time to time. The Board may determine the conditions upon which a new LLC Unit certificate may be issued in place of a certificate that is alleged to have been lost, stolen or destroyed and may, in its discretion, require the owner of such certificate or its legal representative to give an agreement of indemnity or a bond, with sufficient surety, to indemnify the Company and each transfer agent and registrar agent, if any, against any and all losses and claims that may arise as a result of the issuance of a new certificate in place of the one so lost, stolen or destroyed. Each LLC Unit certificate shall bear a legend on the face thereof in the following form:

“TRANSFER IS SUBJECT TO RESTRICTIVE LEGENDS ON BACK.”

and shall bear a legend on the reverse side thereof substantially in the following form:

“THIS SECURITY HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”) OR UNDER THE LAWS OF ANY STATE OR FOREIGN JURISDICTION, AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD, UNLESS IT HAS BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR UNLESS AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION IS AVAILABLE (AND, IN SUCH CASE, AN OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS SHALL HAVE BEEN DELIVERED TO THE COMPANY TO THE EFFECT THAT SUCH OFFER OR SALE IS NOT REQUIRED TO BE REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR ANY OTHER APPLICABLE FEDERAL, FOREIGN, STATE, PROVINCIAL, SECURITIES OR OTHER SIMILAR LAWS). EACH INTEREST SHALL CONSTITUTE A “SECURITY” WITHIN THE MEANING OF, AND GOVERNED BY, (I) ARTICLE 8 OF THE UNIFORM COMMERCIAL CODE (INCLUDING SECTION 8 102(A)(15) THEREOF) AS IN EFFECT FROM TIME TO TIME IN THE STATE OF DELAWARE, AND (II) ARTICLE 8 OF THE UNIFORM COMMERCIAL CODE OF ANY OTHER APPLICABLE JURISDICTION THAT NOW OR HEREAFTER SUBSTANTIALLY INCLUDES THE 1994 REVISIONS TO ARTICLE 8 THEREOF AS ADOPTED BY THE AMERICAN LAW INSTITUTE AND THE NATIONAL CONFERENCE OF COMMISSIONERS ON UNIFORM STATE LAWS AND APPROVED BY THE AMERICAN BAR ASSOCIATION ON FEBRUARY 14, 1995. NOTWITHSTANDING ANY PROVISION OF THE SECOND AMENDED AND RESTATED LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY AGREEMENT OF ONCOR ELECTRIC DELIVERY COMPANY LLC (THE “LLC AGREEMENT”) TO THE CONTRARY, TO THE EXTENT THAT ANY PROVISION OF THE LLC AGREEMENT IS INCONSISTENT WITH ANY NON-WAIVABLE PROVISION OF ARTICLE 8 OF THE UNIFORM COMMERCIAL CODE AS IN EFFECT IN THE STATE OF DELAWARE (6 DEL. C. § 8-101, ET SEQ.) (THE “UCC”), SUCH PROVISION OF ARTICLE 8 OF THE UCC SHALL CONTROL. THIS SECURITY IS SUBJECT TO CERTAIN RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER AND OTHER

 

- 3 -

TERMS AND CONDITIONS SET FORTH IN THE LLC AGREEMENT AND AN INVESTOR RIGHTS AGREEMENT RELATING TO THE COMPANY, EACH DATED AS OF NOVEMBER 5, 2008, AS EITHER MAY BE AMENDED FROM TIME TO TIME, COPIES OF WHICH MAY BE OBTAINED FROM THE COMPANY AT ITS PRINCIPAL BUSINESS OFFICE. ANY TRANSFER MADE IN CONTRAVENTION OF SUCH RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER SHALL BE, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, NULL AND VOID.”

(d) In addition to the legend required by Section 6(c) above, each Member agrees that each LLC Unit certificate heretofore or hereafter issued by the Company shall also bear such other legends as may be required by Law or the Board, including any such legend that the Members shall direct the Board to include pursuant to any investor rights agreement, sale participation agreement or shareholders agreement. Any such legend and the legend set forth in Section 6(c) shall be removed by the Board upon the request (which shall include customary representations and opinions of counsel if reasonably requested by the Board) of a Member when such legend is no longer applicable.

(e) Unless otherwise specified herein, any matter requiring the action, consent or approval of the Members hereunder shall require action, consent or approval of the Members owning at least a majority of the LLC Units.

(f) Subject to Section 10(i), the Members may act by written consent.

Section 7. Certificate of Formation.

Xxxxx Xxxxxxxxxx, an “authorized person” within the meaning of the Act, executed, delivered and filed the Certificate of Conversion and the Certificate of Formation of the Company with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. Upon the filing of the Certificate of Conversion and the Certificate of Formation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, his powers as an “authorized person” ceased, and the Initial Member thereupon became a member of the Company and the designated “authorized person” and shall continue as the designated “authorized person” within the meaning of the Act. The Initial Member or an Officer shall execute, deliver and file any other certificates (and any amendments and/or restatements thereof) necessary for the Company to qualify to do business in Texas and in any other jurisdiction in which the Company may wish to conduct business.

The existence of the Company as a separate legal entity shall continue until cancellation of the Certificate of Formation as provided in the Act.

Section 8. Purpose.

Subject to Section 10(i), the purposes to be conducted or promoted by the Company (directly or through its Subsidiaries) are those of an electric transmission and distribution company, including owning or operating equipment or facilities to transmit and distribute electricity, and to engage in any other activities related or incidental thereto or in anticipation thereof (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall include the activities of Transition Bond Co. as currently conducted on the date hereof).

Section 9. Powers.

Subject to Section 10(i), the Company, and the Board of Directors and the Officers of the Company on behalf of the Company, (i) shall have and exercise all powers necessary, convenient or incidental to accomplish its purposes as set forth in Section 8 and (ii) shall have and exercise all of the powers and rights conferred upon limited liability companies formed pursuant to the Act.

Section 10. Management.

(a) Board of Directors. Subject to Section 10(i), the business and affairs of the Company shall be managed by or under the direction of the Board and not by or under the direction of any EFH Group member or any officer or employee thereof. The Board shall have eleven (11) Directors (subject to reduction as provided below), each of which shall be a natural person:

 

  (i) two (2) of which Directors (x) prior to a Trigger Event (I) will be designated by the Minority Member (or its Permitted Transferee), and indirectly through the Minority Member (or its Permitted Transferee) (pursuant to the applicable provisions set forth in the limited liability company agreement or similar governing document(s) of the Minority Member or its Permitted Transferee) solely by a Person or Persons (each, a “Non-Parent Affiliated Investor”) each of whom (1) directly or indirectly has a limited liability company interest in the Minority Member (or its Permitted Transferee) and (2) does not hold any Direct or Indirect EFH Interest and (II) shall be an employee or representative of a Non-Parent Affiliated Investor and (y) following a Trigger Event will be designated by the Minority Member (or its Permitted Transferee) as it determines in its sole discretion (any Director meeting the foregoing requirements, a “Minority Member Director”, and together with the Directors nominated by the Initial Member and the Director who is an officer of the Company, the “Member Directors”); provided, however, that (A) if the Minority Member (together with its Permitted Transferees) holds less than 15% of the then aggregate outstanding LLC Units but not less than 7.5% of the then aggregate outstanding LLC Units, the Minority Member (or its Permitted Transferee) will designate one (1) Minority Member Director and (B) if the Minority Member (together with its Permitted Transferees) holds less than 7.5% of the then aggregate outstanding LLC Units, the Minority Member (or its Permitted Transferee) will not be entitled to designate any Directors. In the event that, in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence, the Minority Member (or its Permitted Transferee) (A) has the ability to designate only one (1) Director, or (B) does not have the ability to designate any Directors, then the total number of Directors shall be reduced accordingly (i.e., by the number of Directors that the Minority Member (or its Permitted Transferee) is no longer entitled to designate);

 

- 5 -

  (ii) six (6) of which Directors will be Independent Directors (two of which will be Special Independent Directors) designated by the Initial Member only at the direction, in writing, of the nominating committee of the Initial Member’s board of directors;

 

  (iii) two (2) of which Directors will be Member Directors designated by the Initial Member, only at the direction, in writing, of the board of directors of the sole member of the Initial Member; and

 

  (iv) one (1) of which Directors will be an officer of the Company designated by the Initial Member only at the direction, in writing, of the board of directors of the sole member of the Initial Member.

The eleven (11) Directors as of the date hereof are listed on Schedule D hereto. Each Director elected, designated, nominated or appointed in accordance with this Agreement shall hold office (1) until a successor is elected, designated, nominated or appointed and qualified in accordance with this Agreement, (2) in the case of an Independent Director or a Special Independent Director, until such Director fails to qualify as an Independent Director or Special Independent Director, as applicable, (3) in the case of a Minority Member Director, until such Director fails to qualify as a Minority Member Director or (4) until such Director’s earlier death, resignation, expulsion or removal. Each Director shall execute and deliver the Management Agreement. No Director shall be required to be a Member. No Director may concurrently serve as a director of any Subsidiary of Texas Competitive Electric Holdings Company LLC, including any entity that Luminant Holding Company LLC or TXU Energy Company LLC controls.

In addition to the right to designate Minority Member Directors as provided in Section 10(a)(i), prior to a Trigger Event, the Minority Member shall also have the right, so long as the Minority Member is a Principal Member to designate one non-voting observer to the Board (the “Board Observer”) who will be entitled to attend all meetings of the Board and receive copies of all notices and other materials provided to the Board, provided that the Board Observer shall have no voting rights with respect to actions taken or elected not to be taken by the Board, and provided, further, that the Company (x) shall be entitled to exclude the Board Observer from such portions of a Board meeting to the extent the Board reasonably determines, after consulting with counsel, that the Board Observer’s presence would be reasonably likely to result in the waiver of attorney-client privilege and (y) shall exclude the Board Observer from that portion of any meeting of the Board related to the discussion of any dividends or distributions to be made by the Company to holders of LLC Units or any transaction contemplated to be entered into between the Company and/or any of its Subsidiaries, on the one hand, and any member of the EFH Group, on the other hand.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 10(a)(i), prior to a Trigger Event, in respect of any Minority Member Director (other than a Minority Member Director who is an employee of OMERS Administration Corporation, Borealis Infrastructure Management Inc. or any of their Affiliates), in the event that a majority of the Independent Directors reasonably determine that such Minority Member Director’s status as a Director is reasonably likely to result in any downgrade of the Company’s credit ratings, the Minority Member agrees to remove such Person as a Minority Member Director and to appoint another Person in replacement of such removed Minority Member Director that would comply with the requirements set forth in Section 10(a)(i).

 

- 6 -

If necessary under applicable law, each Member agrees to vote its LLC Units to effectuate the provisions of this Section 10(a).

(b) Powers. Subject to Section 10(i), the Board shall have the power to do any and all acts necessary, convenient or incidental to or for the furtherance of the purposes described herein, including all powers, statutory or otherwise. The Board has the authority to bind the Company. To the extent of their powers set forth in this Agreement and subject to Section 10(i), the Directors are agents of the Company for the purpose of the Company’s business, and the actions of the Directors taken in accordance with such powers set forth in this Agreement shall bind the Company. Notwithstanding the last sentence of Section 18 402 of the Act, except as provided in this Agreement or in a resolution of the Directors, a Director may not bind the Company.

(c) Meetings of the Board. The Board may hold meetings, both regular and special, within or outside the State of Delaware. Regular meetings of the Board may be held at such time and at such place as shall from time to time be determined by the Board and communicated in writing to each Director; provided, that, upon such communication to each Director of the Board’s determination of the time and place of a regular meeting, no further notice of any regular meeting to be held at such time and place need be given to any Director, but if the Board determines to make any change with respect to the time or place of a regular meeting, five (5) days’ notice of such change shall be communicated in writing to each Director before such change becomes effective. Special meetings of the Board may be called by the Chief Executive Officer on not less than five (5) days’ written notice to each Director by facsimile, mail, telegram or any other means of written communication, and special meetings shall be called by the Chief Executive Officer, the President or the Secretary in like manner and with like notice upon the written request of any one or more of the Directors; provided, that, notice of a special meeting shall not be required if waived by all Directors, which waiver shall be assumed for any Director attending such special meeting unless attending to object to such meeting. The Board Observer shall be entitled to notice of meetings of the Board as if he or she were a Director, provided that the failure to provide the Board Observer with notice of a Board meeting shall not affect the validity of any actions taken thereat, and provided further that no waiver of notice of a Board meeting from the Board Observer shall be required where all Directors have waived such notice and are relying thereon.

(d) Quorum; Acts of the Board. Subject to Section 10(i), at all meetings of the Board, a majority of the Directors shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business and, except as otherwise provided in any other provision of this Agreement, the act of a majority of the Directors present at any meeting at which there is a quorum shall be the act of the Board. For the avoidance of doubt, the attendance (or non-attendance) at a meeting of the Board by the Board Observer shall not be taken into account for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present. If a quorum shall not be present at any meeting of the Board, the Directors present at such meeting may adjourn the meeting from time to time, without notice other than announcement at the meeting, until a quorum shall be present. Any action required or permitted to be taken at any meeting of the Board or of any committee thereof may be taken without a

 

- 7 -

meeting if all members of the Board or committee, as the case may be, consent thereto in writing, and the writing or writings are filed with the minutes of proceedings of the Board or committee, as the case may be.

(e) Electronic Communications. Members of the Board, or any committee designated by the Board, may participate in meetings of the Board, or any committee, by means of telephone conference or similar communications equipment that allows all Persons participating in the meeting to hear each other, and such participation in a meeting shall constitute presence in person at the meeting. If all the participants are participating by telephone conference or similar communications equipment, the meeting shall be deemed to be held at the principal place of business of the Company.

(f) Committees of Directors.

 

  (i) The Board may, by resolution passed by a majority of the whole Board, designate one or more committees, each committee to consist of one or more of the Directors of the Company. The Board may designate one or more Directors as alternate members of any committee, who may replace any absent or disqualified member at any meeting of the committee.

 

  (ii) In the absence or disqualification of a member of a committee, the member or members thereof present at any meeting and not disqualified from voting, whether or not such members constitute a quorum, may unanimously appoint another member of the Board to act at the meeting in the place of any such absent or disqualified member.

 

  (iii) Any such committee, to the extent provided in the resolution of the Board designating such committee, and subject to, in all cases, Sections 10(i) and 11, shall have and may exercise all the powers and authority of the Board in the management of the business and affairs of the Company specified in the resolution of the Board designating such committee. Such committee or committees shall have such name or names as may be determined from time to time by resolution adopted by the Board. Each committee shall keep regular minutes of its meetings and report the same to the Board when required.

(g) Compensation of Directors; Expenses. The Board shall have the authority to fix the compensation of Directors. The Directors may be paid their expenses, if any, of attendance at meetings of the Board, which may be a fixed sum for attendance at each meeting of the Board or a stated salary as Director. No such payment shall preclude any Director from serving the Company in any other capacity and receiving compensation therefor. Members of special or standing committees may be allowed additional compensation for attending committee meetings. Chairpersons of standing or special committees may receive compensation, in their capacities as such chairpersons, in addition to any compensation received as a member of any such committee. The Board Observer shall be entitled to reimbursement for expenses, if any, of attendance of meetings of the Board to the same extent as if he or she were a Director, but shall not be entitled to any other compensation from the Company.

 

- 8 -

(h) Removal of Directors. Unless otherwise restricted by Law, and subject to Section 11, (i) any Minority Member Director designated by the Minority Member may be removed or expelled, with or without cause, at any time by the Minority Member, and any vacancy caused by any such removal or expulsion, or otherwise, may be filled by action of the Minority Member; provided that, in the event the Minority Member no longer has the right to designate the number of Directors that are currently sitting on the Board as Minority Member Directors, one or both (in accordance with the percentage of the outstanding LLC Units held by the Minority Member and its Permitted Transferees) of the Minority Member Directors shall be automatically removed without any further action by the Minority Member (or its Permitted Transferee) being necessary to effect such removal (in the event that only one of two Minority Member Directors currently sitting on the Board will be removed in accordance with Section 10(a)(i) and this Section 10(h)(i), the Minority Member (or its Permitted Transferee) shall specify the Director to be removed prior to (or, in the case of inaction where the Minority Member (or its Permitted Transferee) is not initially aware of the loss of right to designate a Director, immediately upon notice thereof) any action/inaction by the Minority Member (or its Permitted Transferees) that will trigger any removal of a Director pursuant to Section 10(a)(i) and this Section 10(h)(i), and in that case such Director shall be automatically removed under this Section 10(h)(i)) and upon such removal the Minority Member (or its Permitted Transferee) shall not be entitled to fill any vacancy created thereby, (ii) any Member Director designated by the Initial Member may be removed or expelled, with or without cause, at any time by the Initial Member, only at the direction, in writing, of the board of directors of the sole member of the Initial Member, and any vacancy caused by any such removal or expulsion, or otherwise, may be filled by action of the Initial Member, only at the direction, in writing, of the board of directors of the sole member of the Initial Member, and (iii) any Independent Director, including any Special Independent Director, designated by the Initial Member at the direction of the nominating committee of the Initial Member’s board of directors may be removed or expelled, with or without cause, at any time by the Initial Member only at the direction, in writing, of the nominating committee of the Initial Member’s board of directors, and any vacancy caused by any such removal or expulsion, or otherwise, may be filled, by action of the Initial Member only at the direction, in writing, of the nominating committee of the Initial Member’s board of directors.

(i) Limitations on the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ Activities.

 

  (i) For so long as the Initial Member qualifies as a Principal Member, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries shall take any of the following actions without the prior written consent of the Initial Member:

 

  (A) continue the Company or any of its Subsidiaries under the laws of another jurisdiction;

  (C) authorize, issue, sell, acquire, repurchase or redeem any LLC Units or other equity interest (or option, warrant, conversion or similar right with respect to or based upon the value of any equity interest) in or of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, provided that, for greater certainty, no LLC Units may be repurchased or redeemed without the prior written consent of the holder thereof;

 

  (D) cause any of the Company’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ facilities, assets or paper facilities in the Energy Reliability Council of Texas region to become subject to any greater scope or degree of jurisdiction of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission than the scope or degree of jurisdiction exercised on January 1, 2007; or

 

  (E) enter into any contract, arrangement, understanding or other similar agreement to effectuate any of the foregoing.

 

  (ii) Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries shall take any of the following actions without the prior written consent of each Principal Member:

 

  (A) unless required by law or a change in generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), make any material change in the accounting methods of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries;

 

  (B) subject to Section 3.7 of the Investor Rights Agreement, cause the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to be treated as a corporation for federal income tax purposes under Treasury Regulations Section 301.7701-3; or

 

  (C) waive or fail to enforce in a commercially reasonable manner any rights or claims to a material payment against any party arising under the Tax Sharing Agreement.

 

  (iii)

So long as any Obligation is outstanding, the Members shall not (A) amend, alter, change or repeal Sections 8, 9, 10(b) through (h), or 27 or the definitions in Schedule A of this Agreement that relate to the foregoing Sections referred to in this clause (A), in each case without the written consent of a majority of the Board and of each of the Principal Members or (B) amend, alter, change or repeal the definitions of “Independent Director” or “Special Independent Director”; Sections 10(a), 10(i) (except as set forth in Section 10(i)(vi)(F)), 11, 12, 13, 21, 23, 25, 26, or 30; any provision hereof that states that it is subject to Section 10(i), if such amendment would cause such provision no longer to be subject to Section 10(i); or the definitions in Schedule A of this Agreement that relate to the foregoing Sections referred to in this clause (B) in each case without the written consent of (1) a majority of the Board, (2) all Independent Directors and (3) each of the Principal Members; provided, that the

 

- 10 -

 

Members may amend any provision hereof reasonably required in good faith to accommodate the admission of any additional Member, other than an Affiliate of Energy Future Holdings Corp. (including the establishment of relative voting rights of the Members and an increase in the number of Directors, including Independent Directors), but no such amendment shall (1) limit the obligation of the Company to comply with the Separateness Undertakings (defined below), or (2) otherwise limit the rights and powers of the Independent Directors. Except as provided in the foregoing sentence, the Members reserve the right to amend, alter, change or repeal any provisions contained in this Agreement in accordance with Section 31.

 

  (iv) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement and any provision of law that otherwise so empowers the Company, the Members, the Board, any Officer or any other Person, neither the Members nor the Board nor any Officer nor any other Person shall be authorized or empowered, nor shall they permit the Company or any of its Subsidiaries without (a) the prior written consent of the Initial Member (so long as it is a Principal Member) and (b) the affirmative vote of (x) all of the Directors present and voting (which shall in any event include all Independent Directors) and (y) so long as the Minority Member is a Principal Member, the Minority Member Director(s) present and voting, provided that at least one Minority Member Director must be present and voting in order to approve such action, to take any Material Action; provided that, if in the proposed transaction the Minority Member is given the same rights and protections as the Minority Member would be entitled to have in a Required Sale (as defined in the Investor Rights Agreement) under Section 3.3 of the Investor Rights Agreement, then in order to take the actions described in clause (i) of the definition of Material Action, the Company shall be permitted to take such actions with (a) the prior written consent of the Initial Member and (b) the affirmative vote of all of the Member Directors designated by the Initial Member present and voting and all of the Independent Directors.

 

  (v) The Board and the Members shall cause the Company to do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its existence, rights (charter and statutory) and franchises as well as the existence, rights (charter and statutory) and franchises of its Subsidiaries; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to preserve any such right or franchise if the Board shall determine that the preservation thereof is no longer desirable for the conduct of its business and that the loss thereof is not disadvantageous in any material respect to the Company.

 

  (vi) To ensure separateness from the EFH Group, so long as any Obligation is outstanding, the Board and the Members shall use their best efforts to cause the Company to take or refrain from taking, as the case may be, the following actions (clauses (A) through (BB) below are collectively referred to as the “Separateness Undertakings”):

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, including Section 18 1101(c) of the Act, the Independent Directors shall consider only the interests of the Company, including its creditors, in acting or otherwise voting on any Material Action. No resignation or removal of an Independent Director, and no appointment of a

 

- 16 -

successor Independent Director, shall be effective until such successor shall have accepted his or her appointment as an Independent Director by a written instrument reasonably acceptable to the Company, which may be a counterpart signature page to the Management Agreement. In the event of a vacancy in the position of Independent Director, the Initial Member shall, as soon as practicable at the direction, in writing, of the nominating committee of the Initial Member’s board of directors, designate a successor Independent Director. All right, power and authority of the Independent Directors shall be limited to the extent necessary to exercise those rights and perform those duties specifically set forth in this Agreement. Except as provided in the second sentence of this Section 11, in exercising their rights and performing their duties under this Agreement, any Independent Director shall have fiduciary duties of loyalty and care identical to those of a director of a business corporation organized under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware. No Independent Director shall at any time serve as trustee in bankruptcy for any Affiliate of the Company.

Section 12. Officers.

(a) Officers. The Officers of the Company as of the date hereof are listed on Schedule E hereto. The Officers of the Company shall consist of at least a Chief Executive Officer, a President, a Secretary and a Treasurer. The appointment or removal of the Chief Executive Officer or the Chief Financial Officer of the Company shall require a majority vote of the Board, which shall in any event include the unanimous vote of the Member Directors designated by the Initial Member (other than any such Member Director that is also an officer or employee of the Company). Additional Officers of the Company, if any, shall be chosen by the Board. The Board may also choose one or more Vice Presidents, Assistant Secretaries, and Assistant Treasurers. Any number of offices may be held by the same person, except that the President and the Secretary shall not be the same person. The Board may appoint such other Officers and agents as it shall deem necessary or advisable who shall hold their offices for such terms and shall exercise such powers and perform such duties as shall be determined from time to time by the Board. The salaries of all Officers and agents of the Company shall be fixed by or in the manner prescribed by the Board. The Officers of the Company shall hold office until their successors are chosen and qualified. Any Officer, except as provided above with respect to the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, may be removed at any time, with or without cause, by the affirmative vote of a majority of the Board. Any vacancy occurring in any office of the Company, except as provided above with respect to the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, shall be filled by the Board. The Officers shall have such powers and duties as usually pertain to their offices, respectively, as well as such powers and duties as may from time to time be conferred by the Board. No Officer of the Company may concurrently be an officer of any EFH Group member.

(b) Officers as Agents. The Officers, to the extent of their powers set forth in this Agreement or otherwise vested in them by action of the Board not inconsistent with this Agreement, are agents of the Company for the purpose of the Company’s business and, subject to Section 10(i), the actions of the Officers taken in accordance with such powers shall bind the Company.

(c) Duties of Board and Officers. Except to the extent otherwise provided herein, each Director and Officer shall have fiduciary duties of loyalty and care identical to those of

 

- 17 -

directors and officers of business corporations organized under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware. Promptly following the date hereof, the Board will adopt a confidentiality policy elaborating the Directors’ duty of confidentiality to Company.

Section 13. Limited Liability.

Except as otherwise expressly provided by the Act, the debts, obligations and liabilities of the Company, whether arising in contract, tort or otherwise, shall be the debts, obligations and liabilities solely of the Company, and neither any Member nor any Director (nor former Member or Director) shall be obligated personally for any such debt, obligation or liability of the Company solely by reason of being a Member or Director of the Company.

The Members hereby agree that, except as otherwise expressly provided herein or required by applicable law, no Member shall have an obligation to return money or other property paid or distributed to such Member whether or not such distribution was in violation of the Act, except to the extent arising from gross negligence, fraud, willful breach of this Agreement or a willful illegal act of such Member. The agreement set forth in the immediately preceding sentence shall be deemed to be a compromise for purposes of §18-502(b) of the Act. However, if any court of competent jurisdiction holds that, notwithstanding the provisions of this Agreement, any Member is obligated to make any such return, such obligation shall be the obligation of such Member and not of any other Person.

Section 14. Capital Contributions.

The Members have contributed to the Company property of an agreed value as listed on Schedule B attached hereto.

Section 15. Additional Contributions.

No Member is required to make any additional capital contribution to the Company. To the extent that, with the written consent of the Board, any Member makes an additional capital contribution to the Company, any Officer authorized by the Board shall revise Schedule B of this Agreement to reflect such additional capital contribution. The provisions of this Agreement, including this Section 15, are intended to benefit the Members and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, shall not be construed as conferring any benefit upon any creditor of the Company (and no such creditor of the Company shall be a third-party beneficiary of this Agreement) and the Members shall not have any duty or obligation to any creditor of the Company to make any contribution to the Company or to issue any call for capital pursuant to this Agreement.

Section 16. Tax Classification and Allocations of Profits and Losses.

(a) Partnership Status. Subject to Section 3.7 of the Investor Rights Agreement, the Board shall take such actions as are necessary to cause the Company and its Subsidiaries to be treated as partnerships or disregarded entities, as the case may be, for federal income tax purposes pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 301.7701-3, and neither the Board nor any person shall take any action that would affect such status without the prior written consent of each of the Principal Members.

 

- 18 -

(b) Capital Accounts. A separate capital account (a “Capital Account”) shall be established and maintained for each Member in accordance with the provisions of Treasury Regulation § 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv) and, to the extent not inconsistent with such regulation, the other provisions of this Agreement. The Capital Account of each Member shall be credited with such Member’s Capital Contributions with respect to the limited liability company interests in the Company acquired by it, if any, all items of income and gain allocated to such Member pursuant to Section 16(c) and any items of income or gain which are specially allocated pursuant to Section 16(d); and shall be debited with all items of loss and deduction allocated to such Member pursuant to Section 16(c), any items of loss or deduction of the Company specially allocated to such Member pursuant to Section 16(d), and all cash and the Book Value of any property (net of liabilities assumed by such Member and the liabilities to which such property is subject) distributed by the Company to such Member. Any references in any section of this Agreement to the Capital Account of a Member shall be deemed to refer to such Capital Account as the same may be credited or debited from time to time as set forth above. In the event of any transfer of any LLC Units (or portion thereof) in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the transferee shall succeed to the Capital Account of the transferor to the extent it relates to the transferred limited liability company interests (or portion thereof).

(c) Allocations of Profits and Losses. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, Profits and Losses and to the extent necessary, individual items of income, gain or loss or deduction of the Company shall be allocated in a manner such that the Capital Account of each Member is, as nearly as possible, equal (proportionately) to (i) the distributions that would be made pursuant to Section 17(a) if the Company were dissolved, its affairs wound up and its assets sold for cash equal to their Book Value, all Company liabilities were satisfied (limited with respect to each non-recourse liability to the Book Value of the assets securing such liability) and the net assets of the Company were distributed in accordance with Section 17(a) to the Members immediately after making such allocation, minus (ii) such Member’s share of Member Minimum Gain and Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain, computed immediately prior to the hypothetical sale of assets.

(d) Special Allocations. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Section 16:

 

  (i) Minimum Gain Chargeback. If there is a net decrease in Member Minimum Gain or Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain (determined in accordance with the principles of Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-2(d) and 1.704-2(i)) during any Company taxable year, the Members shall be specially allocated items of Company income and gain for such year (and, if necessary, subsequent years) in an amount equal to their respective shares of such net decrease during such year, determined pursuant to Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-2(g) and 1.704-2(i)(5). The items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(f). This Section 16(d)(i) is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirements in such Treasury Regulations Sections and shall be interpreted consistently therewith; including that no chargeback shall be required to the extent of the exceptions provided in Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-2(f) and 1.704-2(i)(4).

 

- 19 -

  (ii) Qualified Income Offset. If any Member unexpectedly receives any adjustments, allocations, or distributions described in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) or (6), items of Company income and gain shall be specially allocated to such Member in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate the deficit balance in such Member’s Adjusted Capital Account Balance created by such adjustments, allocations or distributions as promptly as possible; provided, that an allocation pursuant to this Section 16(d)(ii) shall be made only to the extent that a Member would have a deficit Adjusted Capital Account Balance in excess of such sum after all other allocations provided for in this Section 16 have been tentatively made as if this Section 16(d)(ii) were not in this Agreement. This Section 16(d)(ii) is intended to comply with the “qualified income offset” requirement of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

 

  (iii) Gross Income Allocation. If any Member has a deficit Capital Account at the end of any taxable year which is in excess of the sum of (i) the amount such Member is obligated to restore, if any, pursuant to any provision of this Agreement, and (ii) the amount such Member is deemed to be obligated to restore pursuant to the penultimate sentences of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(g)(1) and 1.704-2(i)(5), each such Member shall be specially allocated items of Company income and gain in the amount of such excess as quickly as possible; provided, that an allocation pursuant to this Section 16(d)(iii) shall be made only if and to the extent that a Member would have a deficit Capital Account in excess of such sum after all other allocations provided for in this Section 16 have been tentatively made as if Section 16(d)(ii) and this Section 16(d)(iii) were not in this Agreement.

 

  (iv) Nonrecourse Deductions. Nonrecourse Deductions shall be allocated to the Members ratably in accordance with such Member’s LLC Units as set forth on Schedule B of this Agreement.

 

  (v) Member Nonrecourse Deductions. Member Nonrecourse Deductions for any taxable period shall be allocated to the Member who bears the economic risk of loss with respect to the liability to which such Member Nonrecourse Deductions are attributable in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(1).

 

  (vi) Ameliorative Allocations. Any special allocations of income or gain pursuant to Sections 16(d)(ii) or 16(d)(iii) hereof shall be taken into account in computing subsequent allocations pursuant to Section 16(c) and this Section 16(d)(vi), so that the net amount of any items so allocated and all other items allocated to each Member shall, to the extent possible, be equal to the net amount that would have been allocated to each Member if such allocations pursuant to Sections 16(d)(ii) or 16(d)(iii) had not occurred.

 

- 20 -

(e) Income Tax Allocations. For income tax purposes, each item of income, gain, loss and deduction of the Company shall be allocated among the Members in the same manner as the corresponding items of Profits and Losses and specially allocated items are allocated for Capital Account purposes; provided, that in the case of any asset the Book Value of which differs from its adjusted tax basis for U.S. federal income tax purposes, income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to such asset shall be allocated solely for income tax purposes in accordance with the principles of Code Section 704(b) and 704(c) so as to take into account the difference between Book Value and adjusted tax basis using the “remedial method” pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-3(d).

(f) Tax Matters Member. For so long as the Initial Member is a Principal Member, the Initial Member shall be the “tax matters partner” within the meaning of Section 6231(a)(7) of the Code (the “Tax Matters Member”). If the Initial Member ceases to be a Principal Member, Members owning at least a majority of the LLC Units shall be entitled to appoint a new Tax Matters Member to replace the Initial Member. The Tax Matters Member shall determine (a) the appropriate treatment of each item of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit of the Company on its Tax returns, (b) the accounting methods and conventions under the Tax Laws of the United States, the several states and other relevant jurisdictions applicable to the treatment of any such item and (c) any other method or procedure related to the preparation of such Tax returns. The Tax Matters Member shall have all of the rights, duties, powers and obligations provided for in Sections 6221 through 6232 of the Code. All elections required or permitted to be made by the Company, and all other Tax decisions and determinations relating to U.S. federal, state or local Tax matters of the Company, shall be made by the Tax Matters Member. Tax audits, controversies and litigations shall be conducted under the direction of the Tax Matters Member. The Tax Matters Member shall, upon request of the Minority Member, provide the Minority Member with information in respect of any of the foregoing and shall use its reasonable best efforts to keep the Minority Member apprised of any material developments on matters in respect of which the Minority Member has requested to be kept so apprised.

(g) Tax Withholding. To the extent the Company is required by Law to withhold or to make Tax payments on behalf of or with respect to any Member (“Tax Advances”), the Company may withhold such amounts and make such Tax payments as so required. All Tax Advances made on behalf of a Member shall be repaid by reducing the amount of the current or next succeeding distribution or distributions which would otherwise have been made to such Member or, if such distributions are not sufficient for that purpose, by so reducing the proceeds of liquidation otherwise payable to such Member. If a distribution to a Member is actually reduced as a result of a Tax Advance, for all other purposes of this Agreement such Member shall be treated as having received the amount of the distribution that is reduced by the Tax Advance. Each Member hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and the other Members from and against any liability (including, without limitation, any liability for Taxes, penalties, additions to Tax or interest) with respect to income attributable to or distributions or other payments to such Member.

Section 17. Distributions.

(a) Subject to subsections (b), (c) and (d) of this Section 17, distributions shall be made to the Members at such times and in such aggregate amounts as may be determined by the

 

- 21 -

Board from time to time. Distributions after the date hereof shall be made pro rata to the Members in accordance with their respective LLC Units as reflected on Schedule B of this Agreement; provided, that neither (i) the special distribution of the proceeds of the Minority Member’s contribution of capital to the Company on or about the date hereof in exchange for the first issuance to it of LLC Units contemplated by the Subscription Agreement nor (ii) the special distribution of the proceeds of the Management Member’s contribution of capital to the Company on or after the date hereof in exchange for the first issuance to it of LLC Units contemplated by the Management Subscription (as defined in the Subscription Agreement) shall be made pro rata to the Members but rather shall be made exclusively to the Initial Member as a reimbursement of capital expenditures to EFH (indirectly through the Initial Member) as described in Treasury Regulation § 1.707-4(d), and neither the Minority Member nor the Management Member shall have any rights to participation in such special distributions (the “Proceeds Distributions”); provided further, that each Ordinary Course Dividend (as defined below) shall be distributed to Members and former Members holding LLC Units at any time during the applicable quarterly period in respect of which such Ordinary Course Dividend is calculated, pro rata to such Members based on (1) the number of days in such period that such Member held LLC Units relative to the total number of dates in such period and (2) such Members’ respective ownership share of LLC Units as a percentage of the total outstanding LLC Units held by all such Members on each such day. The Company shall cause each of the Proceeds Distributions to be made promptly on the date that the Company receives the funds therefor from the Minority Member or the Management Member, as applicable.

(b) Subject to subsection (d) of this Section 17, the Company shall make quarterly distributions to the Members equal to the net income of the Company or such greater amount as is permitted by Section 17(d)(ii) (“Ordinary Course Dividends”).

(c) Subject to subsection (d) of this Section 17, the Company shall distribute all of the proceeds of any issuance of LLC Units, unless otherwise directed by the Members; provided that, each of the Proceeds Distributions shall be distributed as set forth in Section 17(a) unless otherwise directed by the Initial Member.

(d) Notwithstanding any other provision contained in this Agreement,

 

  (i) the Company shall not make any distribution to the Members on account of its interest in the Company if such distribution would violate the Act or other applicable law;

 

  (ii)

other than any distributions made pursuant to Section 17(c) (including, for greater certainty, the Proceeds Distributions), the Company shall not make any distribution to the Members to the extent that the amount of such proposed distribution, plus the sum of all prior distributions made at any time following the first business day after October 10, 2007 (the “Reference Date”), other than any distribution made pursuant to Section 17(c) (including, for greater certainty, the Proceeds Distributions), by the Company to the Members, exceeds the cumulative net income of the Company (determined in accordance with GAAP) for the period beginning on the Reference Date to the date of such proposed distribution;

 

- 22 -

 

provided, however, that the restriction on distributions set forth in this Section 17(d)(ii) shall cease to apply and shall be of no further force or effect on and after January 1, 2013;

 

  (iii) the Company shall defer making any distribution to the Members so long as and to the extent that such distribution would cause the debt-to-equity ratio of the Company for regulatory purposes of the Company to be above the debt-to-equity ratio established from time to time by the Public Utility Commission of Texas for ratemaking purposes;

 

  (iv) other than in respect of the Proceeds Distributions, the Company shall not distribute any amounts to the Members to the extent that the Board determines in good faith that it is necessary to retain such amounts to meet expected future requirements of the Company; and

 

  (v) other than in respect of the Proceeds Distributions, the Independent Directors, acting by majority vote, or, at any time prior to a Trigger Event, any Minority Member Director, shall have the authority to prevent the Company from making any distribution if they determine that it is in the best interests of the Company to retain such amounts to meet expected future requirements of the Company (including continuing compliance with the debt-to-equity ratio described above in subsection (d)(iii) of this Section 17).

(e) Subsections (a) through (d) of this Section 17 constitute the Company’s “Dividend Policy.”

Section 18. Books and Records.

The Board shall keep or cause to be kept complete and accurate books of account and records with respect to the Company’s business. The books of the Company shall at all times be maintained by the Company. The Members who hold in excess of 5% of the then-outstanding LLC Units and their duly authorized representatives shall have the right to examine the Company books, records and documents during normal business hours. The Company, and the Board on behalf of the Company, shall have the right, pursuant to Section 18-305(c) of the Act, to keep confidential from any Member certain information as the Board deems necessary or appropriate.

Section 19. Reports; Member Information.

(a) On such date as may be agreed by the Initial Member and the Company, but in no event later than (i) five (5) days with respect to quarterly statements and (ii) ten (10) days with respect to annual statements prior to the date on which the EFH Group (a) is required by law or any contractual obligation or regulatory commitment to file consolidated financial statements with the SEC or deliver consolidated financial statements to any other Person (which filing or delivery date shall be communicated to the Company at least 40 days in advance of the Company’s obligation to deliver the same) or (b) expects to file consolidated financial statements with the SEC or deliver consolidated financial statements to any other Person in connection with an offering of securities (which filing or delivery date shall be communicated to the Company at

Copies of all such financial statements shall promptly be forwarded to the Minority Member.

(b) As soon as reasonably practicable after the end of each taxable year but not later than two hundred and seventy (270) days after the end of each taxable year, the Company shall send to each Member a copy of U.S. Internal Revenue Service Schedule K-1, and any comparable statements required by applicable state or local income tax Law, with respect to such taxable year.
