DEBTOR-IN-POSSESSION BORROWING FACILITIES

EFIH DIP Facility and EFIH First Lien Notes Settlement — The EFIH DIP Facility provides for a $5.4 billion first-lien debtor-in-possession financing facility, all of which was utilized as of September 30, 2014 as follows:

•
$1.836 billion of loans issued under the facility were issued as an exchange to holders of $1.673 billion principal amount of EFIH First Lien Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest totaling $78 million. Holders of substantially all of the principal amount exchanged received as payment in full a principal amount of loans under the EFIH DIP Facility equal to 105% of the principal amount of the notes held plus 101% of the accrued and unpaid interest at the non-default rate on such principal;
•
$2.438 billion of cash borrowings were used to repay all remaining $2.312 billion principal amount of EFIH First Lien Notes (plus accrued and unpaid interest totaling $128 million), and
•
Remaining borrowings under the facility, net of fees, of $1.038 billion are held as cash and cash equivalents.

The exchange and settlement of the EFIH First Lien Notes resulted in a loss of $108 million, reported in reorganization items, which represents the excess of the principal amounts of debt issued, cash repayments and deferred financing costs associated with the exchanged and settled debt over the carrying value of the exchanged and settled debt and related accrued interest.

The principal amounts outstanding under the EFIH DIP Facility bear interest based on applicable LIBOR rates, subject to a 1% floor, plus 3.25%. At September 30, 2014, outstanding borrowings under the EFIH DIP Facility totaled $5.4 billion at an annual interest rate of 4.25%. The timing of interest payments on the EFIH DIP Facility is flexible and can be paid on a one week or a one, two, three or six month basis or as otherwise agreed upon with the relevant lenders. The EFIH DIP Facility is a non-amortizing loan that may, subject to certain limitations, be voluntarily prepaid by the EFIH Debtors, in whole or in part, without any premium or penalty.

The EFIH DIP Facility will mature on the earlier of (a) the effective date of any reorganization plan, (b) upon the sale of substantially all of EFIH's assets or (c) June 2016. The maturity date may be extended to no later than December 2016 subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, including the payment of a 25 basis point extension fee, a requirement that an acceptable plan of reorganization has been filed on or prior to such extension and the availability of certain metrics of liquidity applicable to EFIH and EFIH Finance.

EFIH's obligations under the EFIH DIP Facility are secured by a first lien covering substantially all of EFIH's assets, rights and properties, subject to certain exceptions set forth in the EFIH DIP Facility. The EFIH 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 EFIH DIP Facility, will have priority over any and all administrative expense claims, unsecured claims and costs and expenses in the Chapter 11 Cases.

The EFIH DIP Facility provides for affirmative and negative covenants applicable to EFIH and EFIH Finance, including affirmative covenants requiring EFIH and EFIH Finance to provide financial information, budgets and other information to the agents under the EFIH DIP Facility, and negative covenants restricting EFIH's and EFIH Finance's ability to incur additional indebtedness, grant liens, dispose of assets, pay dividends or take certain other actions, in each case except as permitted in the EFIH DIP Facility. The EFIH DIP Facility also includes a minimum liquidity covenant pursuant to which EFIH cannot allow the amount of its unrestricted cash (as defined in the EFIH DIP Facility) to be less than $150 million. The Oncor Ring-Fenced Entities are not restricted subsidiaries for purposes of the EFIH DIP Facility.

The EFIH 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 EFIH DIP Facility or ancillary loan documents, cross-defaults under other agreements or instruments and the entry of material judgments against EFIH. Upon the existence of an event of default, the EFIH 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.

The EFIH DIP Facility permits, subject to certain terms, conditions and limitations set forth in the EFIH DIP Facility, EFIH to incur incremental junior lien subordinated debt in an aggregate amount not to exceed $3 billion
