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 EFIH's financial statements. Merger-related debt of EFH Corp. held by its subsidiaries is not subject to push down.

Pre-petition debt guaranteed and subject to push down at September 30, 2014 totals $60 million and consists of $33 million principal amount of EFH Corp. 10.875% Notes and $27 million principal amount of EFH Corp. Toggle Notes. The amount reflected in EFIH's condensed consolidated balances sheets as pushed down pre-petition debt ($30 million at both September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, 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., EFIH records 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 nine months ended September 30, 2014. EFH Corp. payments of interest on debt pushed down totaled $21 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013.

Information Regarding Significant Pre-Petition Debt

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

EFIH 6.875% Senior Secured First Lien Notes — There were no principal amounts of the EFIH 6.875% Notes outstanding at September 30, 2014 as the notes were exchanged or settled in June 2014 as discussed in Note 5. These notes bore interest at a fixed rate of 6.875% per annum. The EFIH 6.875% Notes were secured on a first-priority basis by EFIH's pledge of its 100% ownership of the membership interests in Oncor Holdings (the EFIH Collateral) on an equal and ratable basis with the EFIH 10% Notes (discussed below).

The EFIH 6.875% Notes were senior obligations of EFIH and ranked equally in right of payment with all senior indebtedness of EFIH and were senior in right of payment to any future subordinated indebtedness of EFIH. The EFIH 6.875% Notes were effectively senior to all second lien and unsecured indebtedness of EFIH, to the extent of the value of the EFIH Collateral, and were effectively subordinated to any indebtedness of EFIH secured by assets of EFIH other than the EFIH Collateral, to the extent of the value of such assets. Furthermore, the EFIH 6.875% Notes were structurally subordinated to all indebtedness and other liabilities of EFIH's subsidiaries (other than EFIH Finance), including Oncor Holdings and its subsidiaries. The holders of the EFIH 6.875% Notes voted as a separate class from the holders of the EFIH 10% Notes.

The EFIH 6.875% Notes were issued in private placements and are not registered under the Securities Act. EFIH had agreed to use its commercially reasonable efforts to register with the SEC notes having substantially identical terms as the EFIH 6.875% Notes (except for provisions relating to transfer restrictions and payment of additional interest) as part of an offer to exchange freely tradable notes for the EFIH 6.875% Notes. Because the exchange offer was not completed, the annual interest rate on the EFIH 6.875% Notes increased by 25 basis points (to 7.125%) on August 15, 2013 and by an additional 25 basis points (to 7.375%) on November 15, 2013.

The notes bore interest at a fixed rate of 10% per annum. The notes were secured by the EFIH Collateral on an equal and ratable basis with the EFIH 6.875% Notes.

The EFIH 10% Notes were senior obligations of EFIH and ranked equally in right of payment with all existing and future senior indebtedness of EFIH, including the EFIH 6.875% Notes. The EFIH 10% Notes had substantially the same terms as the EFIH 6.875% Notes. The holders of the EFIH 10% Notes voted as a separate class from the holders of the EFIH 6.875% Notes.

The $1.302 billion of EFIH 10% Notes issued in January 2013 were issued in private placements and are not registered under the Securities Act. EFIH had agreed to use its commercially reasonable efforts to register with the SEC notes having substantially identical terms as the EFIH 10% Notes (except for provisions relating to transfer restrictions and payment of additional interest) as part of an offer to exchange freely tradable notes for the EFIH 10% Notes. Because the exchange offer was not completed, the annual interest rate on the EFIH 10% Notes increased by 25 basis points (to 10.25%) on January 30, 2014 and by an additional 25 basis points (to 10.50%) on April 30, 2014.

EFIH 11% Senior Secured Second Lien Notes — The principal amount of the EFIH 11% Notes totals $406 million, with interest at a fixed rate of 11% per annum. The EFIH 11% Notes are secured on a second-priority basis by the EFIH Collateral on an equal and ratable basis with the EFIH 11.75% Notes.

The EFIH 11% Notes are senior obligations of EFIH and EFIH Finance and rank equally in right of payment with all senior indebtedness of EFIH and are effectively senior in right of payment to all existing or future unsecured debt of EFIH to the extent of the value of the EFIH Collateral. The notes have substantially the same terms as the EFIH 11.75% Notes discussed below, and the holders of the EFIH 11% Notes will generally vote as a single class with the holders of the EFIH 11.75% Notes.

EFIH 11.75% Senior Secured Second Lien Notes — The principal amount of the EFIH 11.75% Notes totals $1.750 billion, with interest at a fixed rate of 11.75% per annum. The EFIH 11.75% Notes are secured on a second-priority basis by the EFIH Collateral on an equal and ratable basis with the EFIH 11% Notes. The EFIH 11.75% Notes have substantially the same covenants as the EFIH 11% Notes, and the holders of the EFIH 11.75% Notes will generally vote as a single class with the holders of the EFIH 11% Notes.

The EFIH 11.75% Notes were issued in private placements and are not registered under the Securities Act. EFIH had agreed to use its commercially reasonable efforts to register with the SEC notes having substantially identical terms as the EFIH 11.75% Notes (except for provisions relating to transfer restrictions and payment of additional interest) as part of an offer to exchange freely tradable notes for the EFIH 11.75% Notes. Because the exchange offer was not completed, the annual interest rate on the EFIH 11.75% Notes increased by 25 basis points (to 12.00%) on February 6, 2013 and by an additional 25 basis points (to 12.25%) on May 6, 2013.

EFIH 11.25%/12.25% Senior Toggle Notes — The principal amount of the EFIH Toggle Notes totals $1.566 billion, with interest at a fixed rate of 11.25% per annum for cash interest and 12.25% per annum for PIK Interest . The terms of the Toggle Notes include an election by EFIH, for any interest period until June 1, 2016, to pay interest on the Toggle Notes (i) entirely in cash; (ii) by increasing the principal amount of the notes or by issuing new EFIH Toggle Notes (PIK Interest); or (iii) 50% in cash and 50% in PIK Interest. EFIH made its pre-petition interest payments on the EFIH Toggle Notes by using the PIK feature of those notes.

The EFIH Toggle Notes were issued in private placements and are not registered under the Securities Act. EFIH had agreed to use its commercially reasonable efforts to register with the SEC notes having substantially identical terms as the EFIH Toggle Notes (except for provisions relating to transfer restrictions and payment of additional interest) as part of an offer to exchange freely tradable notes for the EFIH Toggle Notes. Because the exchange offer was not completed, the annual interest rate on the EFIH Toggle Notes increased by 25 basis points (to 11.50%) on December 6, 2013 and by an additional 25 basis points (to 11.75%) on March 6, 2014.

Material Cross Default/Acceleration Provisions — Certain of EFIH's 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 EFIH's debt obligations, but pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code, creditors are stayed from taking any actions against the Debtors as a result of such defaults.
