____________
(a)
As discussed below and in Note 14, principal amounts of notes/term loans totaling $382 million at both September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 were held by EFH Corp. and EFIH.
(b)
Amount represents unamortized fair value adjustments recorded under purchase accounting.
(c)
Represents 50% of the amount of these EFH Corp. securities guaranteed by, and pushed down to (pushed-down debt), EFCH (parent entity) per the discussion below under "Guarantees and Push Down of EFH Corp. Pre-Petition Debt."

Guarantees and Push Down of EFH Corp. Pre-Petition Debt

Merger-related debt of EFH Corp. and its subsidiaries consists of debt issued or existing at the time of the Merger. Debt issued in exchange for Merger-related debt is considered Merger-related. Debt issuances for cash are considered Merger-related debt to the extent the proceeds are used to repurchase Merger-related debt. EFCH and EFIH (excluding their subsidiaries) fully and unconditionally guarantee on a joint and several basis the Merger-related debt of EFH Corp. (parent). Such debt is subject to push down in accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin Topic 5-J, and as a result, a portion of such debt and related interest expense is reflected in our financial statements. Merger-related debt of EFH Corp. held by its subsidiaries is not subject to push down.

Debt guaranteed and subject to push down at September 30, 2015 totals $60 million and consists of $33 million principal amount of EFH Corp. 10.875% Senior Notes and $27 million principal amount of EFH Corp. 11.25%/12.00% Senior Toggle Notes. The amount reflected in our condensed consolidated balance sheets as pushed down pre-petition debt ($30 million at both September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, as shown in the debt table above) represents 50% of the principal amount of the EFH Corp. Merger-related debt guaranteed. This percentage reflects the fact that at the time of the Merger, the equity investments of EFCH and EFIH in their respective operating subsidiaries were essentially equal amounts. Because payment of principal and interest on the debt is the responsibility of EFH Corp., we record the settlement of such amounts as noncash capital contributions from EFH Corp.

There were no payments of interest by EFH Corp. on pre-petition debt pushed down for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 or 2014.

TCEH Letter of Credit Facility Activity

Borrowings under the TCEH Letter of Credit Facility have been recorded by TCEH as restricted cash that supports issuances of letters of credit. At September 30, 2015, the restricted cash related to the pre-petition TCEH Letter of Credit Facility totaled $506 million and there were no outstanding letters of credit related to the pre-petition TCEH Letter of Credit Facility. Due to the default under the pre-petition TCEH Senior Secured Facilities, the letter of credit capacity is no longer available. In the first quarter of 2014, TCEH issued a $157 million letter of credit to a subsidiary of EFH Corp. to secure its current and future amounts payable to the subsidiary arising from recurring transactions in the normal course of business, and in 2014, the subsidiary drew on the letter of credit in the amount of $150 million to settle amounts due from TCEH. The remaining $7 million under the letter of credit expired in July 2014. For the year ended December 31, 2014 and the nine months ended September 30, 2015, $245 million and $45 million, respectively, of letters of credit have been drawn upon by counterparties to settle amounts due from TCEH. Included in the nine months ended September 30, 2015 amount was $20 million drawn by certain executive officers to satisfy payments related to long-term incentive awards.
Information Regarding Significant Pre-Petition Debt

The TCEH pre-petition debt described below is junior in right of priority and payment to the TCEH DIP Facility.

TCEH Senior Secured Facilities — Borrowings under the TCEH Senior Secured Facilities total $22.635 billion and consist of:

•
$3.809 billion of TCEH Term Loan Facilities with interest at LIBOR plus 3.50%;
•
$15.710 billion of TCEH Term Loan Facilities with interest at LIBOR plus 4.50%, including $19 million aggregate principal amount held by EFH Corp.;
•
$42 million of cash borrowed under the TCEH Letter of Credit Facility with interest at LIBOR plus 3.50%;
•
$1.020 billion of cash borrowed under the TCEH Letter of Credit Facility with interest at LIBOR plus 4.50%, and
•
Amounts borrowed under the TCEH Revolving Credit Facility, which represent the entire amount of commitments under the facility totaling $2.054 billion.

The TCEH Senior Secured Facilities are fully and unconditionally guaranteed jointly and severally on a senior secured basis by EFCH, and subject to certain exceptions, each existing and future direct or indirect wholly owned US subsidiary of TCEH. The TCEH Senior Secured Facilities, the TCEH Senior Secured Notes and the TCEH first lien hedges (or any termination amounts related thereto), discussed below, are secured on a first priority basis by (i) substantially all of the current and future assets of TCEH and TCEH's subsidiaries who are guarantors of such facilities and (ii) pledges of the capital stock of TCEH and certain current and future direct or indirect subsidiaries of TCEH.

TCEH 11.5% Senior Secured Notes — The principal amount of the TCEH 11.5% Senior Secured Notes totals $1.750 billion, with interest payable at a fixed rate of 11.5% per annum. The notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a joint and several basis by EFCH and each subsidiary of TCEH that guarantees the TCEH Senior Secured Facilities (collectively, the Guarantors). The notes are secured, on a first-priority basis, by security interests in all of the assets of TCEH, and the guarantees are secured on a first-priority basis by all of the assets and equity interests held by the Guarantors, in each case, to the extent such assets and equity interests secure obligations under the TCEH Senior Secured Facilities (the TCEH Collateral), subject to certain exceptions and permitted liens.

The notes are (i) senior obligations and rank equally in right of payment with all senior indebtedness of TCEH, (ii) senior in right of payment to all existing or future unsecured and second-priority secured debt of TCEH to the extent of the value of the TCEH Collateral and (iii) senior in right of payment to any future subordinated debt of TCEH. These notes are effectively subordinated to all secured obligations of TCEH that are secured by assets other than the TCEH Collateral, to the extent of the value of the assets securing such obligations.

The guarantees of the TCEH Senior Secured Notes by the Guarantors are effectively senior to any unsecured and second-priority debt of the Guarantors to the extent of the value of the TCEH Collateral. The guarantees are effectively subordinated to all debt of the Guarantors secured by assets that are not part of the TCEH Collateral, to the extent of the value of the collateral securing that debt.

TCEH 15% Senior Secured Second Lien Notes (including Series B) — The principal amount of the TCEH 15% Senior Secured Second Lien Notes totals $1.571 billion with interest at a fixed rate of 15% per annum. The notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a joint and several basis by EFCH and, subject to certain exceptions, each subsidiary of TCEH that guarantees the TCEH Senior Secured Facilities. The notes are secured, on a second-priority basis, by security interests in all of the assets of TCEH, and the guarantees (other than the guarantee of EFCH) are secured on a second-priority basis by all of the assets and equity interests of all of the Guarantors other than EFCH (collectively, the Subsidiary Guarantors), in each case, to the extent such assets and security interests secure obligations under the TCEH Senior Secured Facilities on a first-priority basis, subject to certain exceptions (including the elimination of the pledge of equity interests of any Subsidiary Guarantor to the extent that separate financial statements would be required to be filed with the SEC for such Subsidiary Guarantor under Rule 3-16 of Regulation S-X) and permitted liens. The guarantee from EFCH is not secured.

The notes are senior obligations of the issuer and rank equally in right of payment with all senior indebtedness of TCEH, are senior in right of payment to all existing or future unsecured debt of TCEH to the extent of the value of the TCEH Collateral (after taking into account any first-priority liens on the TCEH Collateral) and are senior in right of payment to any future subordinated debt of TCEH. These notes are effectively subordinated to TCEH's obligations under the TCEH Senior Secured Facilities, the TCEH Senior Secured Notes and TCEH's commodity and interest rate hedges that are secured by a first-priority lien on the TCEH Collateral and any future obligations subject to first-priority liens on the TCEH Collateral, to the extent of the value of the TCEH Collateral, and to all secured obligations of TCEH that are secured by assets other than the TCEH Collateral, to the extent of the value of the assets securing such obligations.

The guarantees of the TCEH Senior Secured Second Lien Notes by the Subsidiary Guarantors are effectively senior to any unsecured debt of the Subsidiary Guarantors to the extent of the value of the TCEH Collateral (after taking into account any first-priority liens on the TCEH Collateral). These guarantees are effectively subordinated to all debt of the Subsidiary Guarantors secured by the TCEH Collateral on a first-priority basis or that is secured by assets that are not part of the TCEH Collateral, to the extent of the value of the collateral securing that debt. EFCH's guarantee ranks equally with its unsecured debt (including debt it guarantees on an unsecured basis) and is effectively subordinated to any of its secured debt to the extent of the value of the collateral securing that debt.

TCEH 10.25% Senior Notes (including Series B) and 10.50%/11.25% Senior Toggle Notes (collectively, the TCEH Senior Notes) — The principal amount of the TCEH Senior Notes totals $5.237 billion, including $363 million aggregate principal amount held by EFH Corp. and EFIH, and the notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a joint and several unsecured basis by TCEH's direct parent, EFCH, and by each subsidiary that guarantees the TCEH Senior Secured Facilities. The TCEH 10.25% Notes bore interest at a fixed rate of 10.25% per annum. The TCEH Toggle Notes bore interest at a fixed rate of 10.50% per annum.

Material Cross Default/Acceleration Provisions — Certain of our pre-petition financing arrangements contain provisions that result in an event of default if there were a failure under other financing arrangements to meet payment terms or to observe other covenants that could or does result in an acceleration of payments due. Such provisions are referred to as "cross default" or "cross acceleration" provisions. The Bankruptcy Filing triggered defaults on our pre-petition debt obligations, but pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code, the creditors are stayed from taking any actions against the Debtors as a result of such defaults.
