Debtor-In-Possession Borrowing Facility and Long-Term Debt Not Subject to Compromise
DEBTOR-IN-POSSESSION BORROWING FACILITY AND LONG-TERM DEBT NOT SUBJECT TO COMPROMISE

TCEH DIP Facility — The Bankruptcy Court approved the TCEH DIP Facility in June 2014. The TCEH DIP Facility currently provides for up to $3.375 billion in senior secured, super-priority financing consisting of a revolving credit facility of up to $1.95 billion and a term loan facility of up to $1.425 billion. The TCEH DIP Facility is a Senior Secured, Super-Priority Credit Agreement by and among the TCEH Debtors, the lenders that are party thereto from time to time and an administrative and collateral agent.

The TCEH DIP Facility and related available capacity at September 30, 2015 are presented below. Borrowings are reported in the condensed consolidated balance sheets as borrowings under debtor-in-possession credit facilities. In the September 30, 2015 condensed consolidated balance sheet the borrowings under the TCEH DIP Facility are reported as current liabilities since the maturity date of the facility was May 2016 as of such date. In October 2015, the TCEH Debtors paid an $8 million extension fee and extended the maturity date of the TCEH DIP Facility to the earlier of (a) November 2016 or (b) the effective date of any reorganization plan of TCEH. The terms of the facility were otherwise unchanged by the extension. In September 2015, the TCEH Debtors extended their use of cash collateral to the earlier of (a) the effective date of a plan of reorganization or (b) 60 days following termination of the Debtors' Plan Support Agreement, provided that the TCEH Debtors do not otherwise cause an event of default under the cash collateral order.

___________
(a)
Facility used for general corporate purposes. No amounts were borrowed at September 30, 2015. Pursuant to an order of the Bankruptcy Court, the TCEH Debtors may not have more than $1.650 billion of TCEH DIP Revolving Credit Facility cash borrowings outstanding without written consent of the TCEH committee of unsecured creditors and the ad hoc group of TCEH unsecured noteholders or further order of the Bankruptcy Court.
(b)
Facility used for general corporate purposes, including but not limited to, $800 million for issuing letters of credit.

At both September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, all $1.425 billion of the TCEH DIP Term Loan Facility has been borrowed. Of this borrowing, $800 million represents amounts that support issuances of letters of credit and have been funded to a collateral account. Of the collateral account amount at September 30, 2015, $436 million is reported as cash and cash equivalents and $364 million is reported as restricted cash, which represents the amount of outstanding letters of credit.

Amounts borrowed under the TCEH DIP Facility bear interest based on applicable LIBOR rates, subject to a 0.75% floor, plus 3%. At both September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the interest rate on outstanding borrowings was 3.75%. The TCEH DIP Facility also provides for certain additional fees payable to the agents and lenders, as well as availability fees payable with respect to any unused portions of the available TCEH DIP Facility.

The TCEH Debtors' obligations under the TCEH DIP Facility are secured by a lien covering substantially all of the TCEH Debtors' assets, rights and properties, subject to certain exceptions set forth in the TCEH DIP Facility. The TCEH DIP Facility provides that all obligations thereunder constitute administrative expenses in the Chapter 11 Cases, with administrative priority and senior secured status under the Bankruptcy Code and, subject to certain exceptions set forth in the TCEH DIP Facility, have priority over any and all administrative expense claims, unsecured claims and costs and expenses in the Chapter 11 Cases. EFCH is a parent guarantor to the agreement governing the TCEH DIP Facility along with substantially all of TCEH’s subsidiaries, including all subsidiaries that are Debtors in the Chapter 11 Cases.

The TCEH DIP Facility also permits certain hedging agreements to be secured on a pari-passu basis with the TCEH DIP Facility in the event those hedging agreements meet certain criteria set forth in the TCEH DIP Facility.

In June 2014, the RCT agreed to accept a collateral bond from TCEH of up to $1.1 billion, as a substitute for its self-bond, to secure mining land reclamation obligations. The collateral bond is a $1.1 billion carve-out from the super-priority liens under the TCEH DIP Facility that will enable the RCT to be paid before the TCEH DIP Facility lenders.

The TCEH DIP Facility provides for affirmative and negative covenants applicable to the TCEH Debtors, including affirmative covenants requiring the TCEH Debtors to provide financial information, budgets and other information to the agents under the TCEH DIP Facility, and negative covenants restricting the TCEH Debtors' ability to incur additional indebtedness, grant liens, dispose of assets, make investments, pay dividends or take certain other actions, in each case except as permitted in the TCEH DIP Facility. The TCEH Debtors' ability to borrow under the TCEH DIP Facility is subject to the satisfaction of certain customary conditions precedent set forth therein.

The TCEH DIP Facility provides for certain customary events of default, including events of default resulting from non-payment of principal, interest or other amounts when due, material breaches of representations and warranties, material breaches of covenants in the TCEH DIP Facility or ancillary loan documents, cross-defaults under other agreements or instruments and the entry of material judgments against the TCEH Debtors. The agreement governing the TCEH DIP Facility includes a covenant that requires the Consolidated Superpriority Secured Net Debt to Consolidated EBITDA ratio not exceed 3.50 to 1.00. Consolidated Superpriority Secured Net Debt consists of outstanding term loans and revolving credit exposure under the TCEH DIP Facility less unrestricted cash. Upon the existence of an event of default, the TCEH DIP Facility provides that all principal, interest and other amounts due thereunder will become immediately due and payable, either automatically or at the election of specified lenders.
